mircea_popescu: shinohai sadly misguided ; nevermind
the "assholes", how about everyone else, all
the copacetic
timeservers ease
the world of
their unwelcome burden.
hanbot: turtle's gotta evolve
to spray some seawater in catfaces.
hanbot: mircea_popescu jeeze,
they don't even leave
the carcass on someone's doorstep?
mircea_popescu: hanbot apparently
they eat
the neck and leave
the
turtle for dead.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo "there is no way
to" / "you can't even provide
the bare bones necessary supplies for using your services" << Sent with
the further reminder : "From our earliest conversations I was clear
that housing customer provided hardware was
the focus of my business.
The quotes for new Supermicro servers have not interested
them from a cost basis perspective, and now
they are getting
together a pile of hardware
to
mircea_popescu: apparently spending half a day being
tumble-dried by
the ocean is great for one's internals.
mircea_popescu: in other not-news, i've been shitting like a colon courrier over here, i had no fucking idea i was
that fulla shit.
hanbot: jaguars on
the beach?! i'm not going often enough, i guess
hanbot: that's an organization i could get behind, feed ze
turtles (guideboi edition).
mircea_popescu: well, on
the plus side
they are carnivorous, so maybe
they eat most of
the guidebois.
hanbot: i'm sure. in my experience "organized x" here means "tie yourself
to 'bilingual' guide, by which we mean box of overeager wordsalad, listen
to five precautions per actionable item, getcher FREE dorkscout badge"
mircea_popescu: in other news, so
they lay about 100 eggs sometime in november, hatching
takes seven-eight weeks. considering
these were coming out on nov 12th ?! weird shit.
mircea_popescu: i suppose
this explains why ~all of
them automatically assume "this is my job".
teh state has so failed
the individual, it's inconceivable one might you know, fucking live.
mircea_popescu: hanbot bonus points : if you actually go
through one of
their dumbass "organized
tours", other
than
the herd of fetlife cowsies everywhere, you're not even allowed
to hold
them!
mircea_popescu: jesus, you know
the females come back every year
to
the beach
they were born.
the fact
that only one nested
there successfully means...
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo "there is no way
to" / "you can't even provide
the bare bones necessary supplies for using your services"
mircea_popescu: aik, does
the whole swarm
thing where
the whole beach is moving with
tiny
turtles, whereas i
thought
this was a single nest event, as
there were what, a dozen or
two all within a few meters of each other.
mircea_popescu: so :
there are four
types of sea
turtle known in costa rica. 1. eretmochelys imbricata, besides being VERY rare (critically endangered,
too) has a beak, which
the little guy lacks ; 2. chelonia mydas as far as anyone knows lives in
tortuguero natl park, which is on
the wrong side of
the country (limon, vs
this was if memory serves some miles down from jaco) ; 3. lepidochelis olivacea, besides not looking anything like
that af
hanbot: mircea_popescu i dun
think
the guy in your pic is a leatherback;
they have long vertical ridges on
their shells, whereas
tinyguy has
the sorta hexagonal plates
diana_coman: asciilifeform, ahaha, I can see
that; makes for a good nightmare
too
mircea_popescu: afaik all others have bony shells. but
this was definitely leathery.
diana_coman: among
the "horrible
things of
the hot,hot plains in summer"
diana_coman: when a poor
tree is absolutely eaten up alive by
the fat worms
that fall at
times with a splat on
the path underneath
diana_coman: caterpiller
though ughhhhh; I have seen real fat, oozy, ugly ones several summers as a child; horrible
hanbot: asciilifeform i dun
think so. certainly never saw 'im.
shinohai: When I was in West Palm Beach once, I remember one of
the most hilarious
thing I saw on beach in
the morning was DNR officers arresting 10-20 Hatians a morning for digging up
turtle eggs
to eat.
mircea_popescu: like a sort of mute benevolent something. let's say for
touching one i have an intuitive understanding of why
the world was carried by
turtle rather
than calipiter.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman
they're
tasty, sure, but believe it or not
the little animal had a very distinct personality, in my hand.
mircea_popescu: da fuck must be rattling in
the empty box above
their shoulders
to imagine anyone gives a shit whether
they approve or disapprove, of anything.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, sort of inept dragon-look-a-like; I heard
they are
tasty
though (bigger ones at least)
diana_coman: well,
that's how it worked
that far pretty much, isn't it?
tell Daddy what you like,
tell
teacher what you'd like etc
mircea_popescu: so
that's it, precious cuntlet importantly declares "i approve of
this
thing" and
that's all her job's worth, she's done.
mircea_popescu: i dunno, dumb cunts at an age
they're barely worth selling by open outcry somehow hallucinated for
themselves
this role whereby
they sit
their ass down and
the world brings
them shit for
their evaluation.
diana_coman finds out she does ...not like baby
turtles
shinohai: It was an appropriate header .... all
the responses were pretty much "I liek
turtles!"
hanbot: his
tiny NOSTRIL, barely discernable from grain of sand!
hanbot: halp, i saw
today's
trilema header and i can't get up!
diana_coman: phf, can you help
test keccak on big endian iron? see ^
☟︎ BingoBoingo: ave1: Depends on if
the datacenter can summon
the appropriate urgency
to respond
to
the present dilemma.
hanbot: mhm, neat. i'll check it out once
the ball o' string's sorted
ave1: will
the republican ISP also provide some sort of website hosting?
ave1: hanbot: it looks ugly, but as
the pics are in
tar files, you could still unpack
these and have
them back.
hanbot: ave1 cool deal. how's
the backend feel w/o any pix?
mircea_popescu: i just dun want you
to get
the impression your work's not really wanted or anything of
the kind. as is perhaps very evident we have a massive shortage of human capital in
teh republic, and it's been worsening over
the years.
ave1: I know, I followed
the recurrent discussion on binaries and uuencoded problems (with ++/-- in
there).
mircea_popescu: was a whole
thing in
the logs a few weeks back
that eventually lead
to
this structure.
mircea_popescu: ave1 i'd have just had you do
the genesis rather
than wait, but
the problem is you can't really, on current inband diffing.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-08 13:35 mircea_popescu: ave1 yeah, ideally make
them patches off
the full genesis once
that appears ; afaik hanbot is stuck waiting for phf's proper vdiff, which evidently is stuck waiting for
the conjclusion of phf's republican-oriental adventure.
mircea_popescu: "customer set montevideo dc on fire over dc's inability
to provide 2u rack boxes."
shinohai: Post results
to BingoBlog por favor.
mircea_popescu: if
they do not provide 2u boxes, you go
there with
two containers of gasoline on
the 13th instead of any parts,
BingoBoingo: They apparently do not know how
to order parts
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Only in
the challenge of sourcing
the 2U sheetmetal/powersupplies locally, and
the caveat
that
the CPU orderers gotta watch
the SKU
to get
the right cooler.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo do you see any problems with
teh proposed setup ?
mircea_popescu: aaand since it's
the glorious morning of
the 8th, let's do some last calls.
mircea_popescu: ave1 yeah, ideally make
them patches off
the full genesis once
that appears ; afaik hanbot is stuck waiting for phf's proper vdiff, which evidently is stuck waiting for
the conjclusion of phf's republican-oriental adventure.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: In other developments
tonight will be my
third night sleeping in
The 5.
There is now a full on multi day final solution underway in
the hostel
to eradicate
the chinches while occupancy is low. I mean outlet covers stripped,
the sweet smell of
TempoXL with a few other unfamiliar (but not organophosphate, possibly
terpene) scents wafting out of
the warzone.
jhvh1: BingoBoingo:
The operation succeeded.
ave1: (to work on
top of hanbot's genesis)
ave1: I'll be happy
to regrind my 2 (so far) patches if needed
ave1: No it's not, as hanbot still had some problems with
the embedded in svg images, if I read correctly.
trinque: top-left one looks like a dude. I
thought
that was haram
mircea_popescu: nor is
there some kind of historical or cultural component
to it, as
teh little clitlers appear
to imply.
mircea_popescu: contrary
to pantsuit fanfic, memory is unrelated
to whining.
pete_dushenski: "“I find it easy
to memorize,” said Saratu Ayuba, who won a gold medal in a recent contest by successfully spelling entertainment. “I know
the small words. I can build
them out in my head.”"
pete_dushenski: "Spelling employs a skill many of
the women honed while captive: mnemonic memory. Some spent much of
their
time memorizing lengthy prayers and hymns. Others composed diary entries in
their heads—their
thoughts, injustices
they suffered—they would later log in journals
they kept hidden."
pete_dushenski: got it. let me check what
the lousy cad is worth and confirm pie proportion but at least half should be no prob.
pete_dushenski: and
the arrangement is
to order bbisp supplies, and
take delivery and repackage or have
them shipped directly
to uruguay from amazegg ? (sorry for missing
this detail in logs)
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: i
think i saw
that lobbes was getting in on
the action, any other
to divide
the pie between ?
a111: Logged on 2018-02-06 16:08 BingoBoingo: !~later
tell pete_dushenski Have you been following
the BBisp developments?
a111: Logged on 2018-02-06 13:27 mircea_popescu: so, let me know if you're interested in buying some newegg/amazon/whatever for
this, danielpbarron pete_dushenski whosoever else.
shinohai: Can't run a
terrorist organization without seekrit communications!
