saifedean: and of course,
a big, big part of this is diet, what the mom eats before, during, and after pregnancy
saifedean: inaccurate analogy, since she's another human. but if her body can carry
a baby for 9 months, and if she eats well and takes care of herself, she will get milk
saifedean: and then, the coup de grace, they give him
a little sugar in the first hour to drug him and stop him crying from being separated from his mom while they do all the bezzle they wanna do
saifedean: also, the post-birth interventions they do in the medical bezzle are astonishing... within an hour or so, the baby wil have had
a vaccine against Hepatitis B, which I guess makes sense if you intend to pimp the child out in the first week. they'll give them an eye drop to protect against the possibility of the mom having chlamydia, regardless of whether she has it or not, thus destroying the child's vision for
a few days..
saifedean: and most brutally, the fucking doctor wanting to go home quickly means he'll cut the umbilical chord immediately, suffocating the child and depriving him of about
a third of his blood
mircea_popescu: but anyway. natural birth has
a huge following in the states. almost unknown in yurp.
☟︎☟︎ saifedean: all the complications of birth come precisely from the medical bezzle trying to barge in on this natural process to make
a buck, basically
saifedean: essentially: if
a woman is left on her own in
a comfortable setting with the father, her body will do all the work and pop the baby out painlessly and even pleasurably, the baby comes out healthy and looks for the tit to feed, it stays connected to the umbilical chord and placenta for
a few days, the placenta empties all the nutrients and blood into the baby, and the baby grows healthy
saifedean: it's treated like an emergency like
a car crash, when it's
a natural process like sex
saifedean: this has been an enormously edifying experience... most important lesson learned is that handing over
a pregnant woman to
a hospital and obgyn is fucking nuts
saifedean: well, not quite, there's
a surprisingly large amount of stuff to do, learn, and decide if you choose not to hand over the entire process to the medical bezzle
saifedean: this place is so deadly boring it's unreal, but at least it's not
a terribly cold winter, and I'm getting plenty of reading done... Also, it's not like you need much excitement to add to your life when you're expecting
saifedean: it's not the most exciting place in the world, but it's across the river from detroit, which stands as
a constant reminded that shit could be worse
trinque: ben_vulpes: and in fact if the buildroot step were stuck inside Makefile.rotor, it'd be trivial to have
a Makefile.openbsd aside it
trinque: ben_vulpes:
a verbosity knob might be nice
ben_vulpes: trinque: is there
a reason verify.mk uses `SHA512' instead of `sha512'?
mircea_popescu: North Asia took the nuclear winter in stride, as they were cold-adapted. By 70,000-40,000 years ago one particular group of Africans produced some killer genius whose genes are in us all. The Neanderthals were wiped out soon thereafter at the peak of
a nasty ice age that they were best suited to deal with. They were murdered."
mircea_popescu: "If I might compress
a quarter-million years into
a paragraph: For hundreds of thousands of years mankind developed along three paths, the African, the Neanderthal and the Disnovian. 74,000 years ago the Toba Super Eruption occurred, causing
a six-year nuclear winter, which wiped out all but
a couple thousand lucky Africans. I don’t know anything about the Disnovians. I do know that the Neanderthals across Europe and
mircea_popescu: "Being

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and lo it came to pass that one man had sons, which he met because some women he knew introduced them. and those sons presently came upon him and said father, give us warhorses so we may be warriros, for you are

mircea_popescu: "get off my lawn you damn dirty apes. i think there will be arguments for years about the wisdom of emboldening these white power, white privilege self serving outlaws or letting them disperse on their own to be picked up later for prosecution. i think the worst case scenario would be letting them off with
a guarantee of no criminal charges they should face
a range of charges from littering to treason."

BingoBoingo: "Back in 2011, we tested mayonnaise as
a thermal interface between the CPU and the base of the cooler. Amazingly, it worked nicely, proving to be, at least in
a short term,
a better thermal compound than several well-known commercial products. But, at the time, we could not determine how long it would continue to work before
a degradation in performance was noted."
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> It talks and proposes soft forks and apparently eats
a bunch of USD VC money from god knows where << yeah. none of this counts for anything. and i have nfi why they'd get any amount of vote in any discussion re bitcoin.

BingoBoingo: It talks and proposes soft forks and apparently eats
a bunch of USD VC money from god knows where
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> yeah, until karpeles lied about an imaginary cause of stealing people's bitcoin, the other dudes working on wrecking bitcoin didn't have

a start
mircea_popescu: turns out centralisation helps when it's
a case of "well bitbet goes to mp and mp runs
a lot of other things and so... nope." people who only run one thing have it
a lot worse.

a thing about centralisation in that, i suspect.

a very instructive experience.

shinohai: I believe pete_dushenski 's issue was just trying to compile on
a 32bit system tho, once he reimaged it worked fine.
mircea_popescu: that's usually
a sure sign of
a bit of asm being unsuported.
mircea_popescu: s +- 100. i think it can be safely concluded that the number they report is simply
a marketing gimmick, not connected to anything.
mircea_popescu: heh derpy okcupid. it has this tab that goes "98 visitors average per week". meanwhile they only keep track of the ~100 most recent visitors. the oldest is from 5:59 am, today. the most recent from 8:57 am, also today. so in about 3 hours i get 100, but "on average" during
a week i get 98. it's been pretty much like this for at least two weeks now, give or take 5k
a week average each day, which they've been reporting
a thestringpuller: grrrr. there should be
a "debug" version of the compilation process script
