mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-10-2015#1308943 << incredibly, i thought that was going to be a highly controversial piece that'll get my skull cracked. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i happen to not think anything of the mathematician that doesn't know how his fridge works. "oh he's specialised" fuck you. "but this is how we do it here!" yeah, this is how i do you in the ass. ☟︎
assbot: Logged on 27-10-2015 16:09:38; asciilifeform: i don't subscribe to the cosmography where the hoodlum is 'the better' and the concert violinist walking through the alley is 'a loser' because... because why, he oughtn't have such a soft skull? if he 'were anybody' he could afford a security detail? because why ?

danielpbarron: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-10-2015#1308951 << the atruechurch guy? Yes I read it, and I met him. I stayed with his family for about a week when we were in florida for the republican national convention in 2012 ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 27-10-2015 16:05:39; asciilifeform: i was sad, as a boy, reading about how lavoisier, father of modern chemistry, met the guillotine
mats: I'm not sure you see how tiresome it is to rehash the discussion as follows -- 'gtfo off leaky ship already', 'am in middle of atlantic', 'so swim to island (without provisions)', 'then get on a ship without holes', 'there are none on horizon', 'getting on that ship in the first place is a problem of a logical class', 'yes, but... am here'
mircea_popescu: if after going to all that fucking trouble and obtaining that much actual superiority the people for whom i supposedly did it behave like fucking teenagers i would actually go to their house and feed them their children in cooked parts.
mircea_popescu: it's enough to drive one stack. im surprise not more usg-kgb folks go on murder rampages. i know i would.
mircea_popescu: but i must say, splendid alf monograph, should be in an article. ☟︎

assbot: Logged on 27-10-2015 13:19:00; punkman: "I trained to become a wealth manager. That initial part of my study took two years, many thousands of dollars, and hundreds of thousands of miles of travel. Although I never practiced as a wealth manager"
jurov: confirmation bias << i meant selection bias
asciilifeform: but overall i woudn't be surprised to learn that a few of'em are still rothchilding around somewhere.
asciilifeform: but i don't see how it would follow.
asciilifeform: i get it, mircea_popescu will tell me that 'money has to be the measure because otherwise redditors will have to count as people'
asciilifeform: i don't subscribe to the cosmography where the hoodlum is 'the better' and the concert violinist walking through the alley is 'a loser' because... because why, he oughtn't have such a soft skull? if he 'were anybody' he could afford a security detail? because why ? ☟︎
asciilifeform: i don't see them as 'my betters'

asciilifeform: i was sad, as a boy, reading about how lavoisier, father of modern chemistry, met the guillotine ☟︎
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-10-2015#1308842 << i can't wait for mircea_popescu to explain that... they aren't really lizard elites, because a distant winemaking rothchild got shot by a german once. or how the 100B isn't real money because it can't be sent to bin laden's ghost. or how i oughta shut up because they 'earned' it all and 'nobody asked you' ☝︎
asciilifeform: (how to abolish 'rowhammer' ? a) don't use ddr3, why does a tetris-playing accountant need 128GB of ram?? b) use ram that is wired as a hash table, where n+1 is NOT physically adjacent or otherwise predictably distant from n. ---- BUTBUTBUT i want 128GB! but i want bust readwrite! FUCKYOU
funkenstein_: i suppose part of the problem is people saying "oh it doesn't matter I can just take that with a battery into a copper box and walk out with punch cards" ?
asciilifeform: for n00bz, i will point out that is is possible to build a computer where, e.g., buffer overruns, is PHYSICALLY impossible
asciilifeform: but i suppose this is when i say a bit about WHY we have these idiocies.
punkman: "trained for two years, many thousands of dollars, and hundreds of thousands of miles of travel. and all I learned is something about cook islands trusts"
punkman: "I trained to become a wealth manager. That initial part of my study took two years, many thousands of dollars, and hundreds of thousands of miles of travel. Although I never practiced as a wealth manager" ☟︎
mircea_popescu: "I'd also like to address my family, if you can call them that. I despise everything they stand for and I truly hate them, in a non-emotional, dispassionate and what I believe is a healthy way. The world will be a better place when they're dead--one with less hatred and intolerance." << above quoted guy's son, in his suicide note.
mircea_popescu: i dun think so.
asciilifeform: i thought it was more of a 'sympathetic magic' (term of art re: shamanology) item
mircea_popescu: which is why alley flashers are all ~marginal~ men. the device works exactly like the homeless dragging around broken ipads works. "hey, i might be refuse, but at least X!"
pete_dushenski: "I didn’t realize you were one of the dudes from LMFAO. Much respect"
pete_dushenski: "I never pushed anyone into a locker in my life, but pompous assholes like yourself make me wish we had gone to HS together."
pete_dushenski: "I would not be surprised to find out that you work as a plant security guard for just above minimum wage, on a night shift, where you use your time reading to try to be able to impress others with your intelligence, or that you live in a basement apartment, or drive a 2o year old junker."
trinque: I was just about to quote that very line.
mircea_popescu: "I don't expect journalists or anyone else to be free of moral ambiguity, but it should be a postulate that if you choose to write those words you should not also be having sex with your daughter. Allegedly.
mircea_popescu: i can't really imagine mp doing much more than mocking the parole board.
pete_dushenski: lol i can imagine mp writing his way out of a 300-year "death senctence" in well less than decade.
ascii_field: 'Yes, I know about source-based distributions, you can pipe down now. First, they’re too tiny a minority to affect my thinking. Secondly, it would be trivial for their build scripts to include a clone and pull.' << there are a few gentoo packages that actually do this. banned from my box.
mircea_popescu: "I miss you every single day. So this time I'm using a scope."
ascii_field: i have the source code to dos 6.22.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: why the fuck would i want to use a closed source www browser ??
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-10-2015#1308555 << i have no idea wqhy alf was recommending it. btw : old opera, ye. it works. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i wonder if it ever happened in the history of trickortreating that someone dropped a brick of straight cocaine in the kids' bag.
mircea_popescu: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1b/EastCapehouses1885ric00653.jpg << am i a pervert if i think the woman is actually hot ?
funkenstein_: what I have done now (instead of problem) is replacing with
ascii_field: i recommend an antipatch that fixes the first.
funkenstein_: i have a couple boxes running the thing at the moment, I'll just wait a bit longer on the cut
funkenstein_: in this instance, i assume a properly measured replacement of the thing is preferred to an additional patch to fix
funkenstein_: really inexcusable i didn't find that with test before submission
funkenstein_: ok i found my chuck_checkpoints error
trinque: I don't know why that article called it a kernel module; it was the "ok google" plugin
trinque: I reacted in horror when they announced "native client"
shinohai: Garmin is teaching me about sdr radio and such so I needed one for that.
shinohai: Outside of that I'm just not the type that needs a smartphone much. They are useless to me for reading books and such.
shinohai: I actually got a used droid this past week for testing cryptocoin apps. I like to try and break stuff.
shinohai: Implying I use any sort of device that needs "apps".
shinohai: I unfortunately cannot stargaze today, it is raining.
funkenstein_: shinohai, I think that depends on which is witch :)
funkenstein_: i'll update you this afternoon after i get a chance to run some tests
funkenstein_: just stated i think, some hints from ascii is all
mircea_popescu: i just dun recall if it iwas ever discussed or just stated
funkenstein_: no, I haven't gotten around to fixing yet..
funkenstein_: so if anybody wants a signed antipatch for my broken patch, let me know. otherwise, I assume the thing can be simply dropped.
funkenstein_: well i'm likely useless as an astrologer
assbot: Logged on 08-07-2015 02:03:19; funkenstein_: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=07-07-2015#1191982 <-- i thought she was going to jump back into jupiter's head a few days ago.. off on her merry way again
mircea_popescu: "And in Georgia, a state appeals court in 2004 upheld a hospital's decision to kick Dr. Donald Ray Taylor off its staff. The anesthesiologist had admitted giving young female patients rectal and vaginal exams without documenting why. He'd also been accused of exposing women's breasts during medical procedures. When confronted by a hospital official, Taylor said, "Maybe I am a pervert, I honestly don't know," according
mircea_popescu: to rethink the need for my existence. I'd also be scared that she'd call the cops and shamed as a woman beater, ruining my life and/or career; and I'd be Ed Norton 25th Hour terrified of going to jail. Charlie Sheen apparently feels none of these fears, at all, ever. After he beat up the first bitch who deserved it he should have sworn of bitches just out of self-preservation, but no, back into the mix, and if the
mircea_popescu: ""He's not a bad guy, he just has a problem." Actually, you have that backwards, he doesn't have a problem, he is a bad guy. I know this because he beat up (allegedly, at least) two women. This isn't the place to get into whether the bitch done deserved it, running her mouth all damn night long, the point is his thinking about it. If I (allegedly) beat up a girlfriend, I'd feel TREMENDOUS guilt, I would really have
mircea_popescu: it feels like an inside joke that i meanwhile forgot.
mircea_popescu: anyopne have any inkling of an idea as to why i might have registered f9beb4d9.org ?
BingoBoingo: "She animatedly tells a story about a recent Tinder rendezvous: “One time, I agreed to meet with this guy at 8 or 9 at night. Before we met, I said to him, ‘This is the work I do, I know the chief of police ... so, don't try and get creepy; I know all my rights.’ And five minutes later, he was like, ‘Actually, I'm really not OK with how you just assume I'm a bad guy. And I get very bad vibes from that, so we shouldn't hang
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> (google uses the gpl as a urinal and has, for years. this is not, i think, a secret.) << "don't be evil"!11

asciilifeform: i cannot recommend them (or any other intel box) for 'airgapped crypto', missile control, reactor, etc.
asciilifeform: google just makes the firmware for these, as i understand.
asciilifeform: (google uses the gpl as a urinal and has, for years. this is not, i think, a secret.)
asciilifeform: what, if anything, in your household calls for one of these things, i cannot say.

asciilifeform: i won't spoil it, will let folks drop their jaws when they look up precisely what.
pete_dushenski: and then there's the plain bizarre comments such as "Am the happiest woman on earth,, my husband just called me this mornings after divorcing for another woman going to 6Months with the help of this man i met on this site please help me to thank him and the author of this site his name is Dr Aida Wedo His phone number is +2348115436578 his email is africanvoodoorituals@gmail.com my name is William Sarah am from
mircea_popescu: i confess i almost never read the comments.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski unlike in the case of tlp, i'm also here to scream back.
mircea_popescu: this incident aside, the cultural production of b-a/b,tmsr~/the cult/however you wish to call it is both scary and exploding on an exponential. i dunno how we'll cope.
mircea_popescu: i do however hold all these as conversation openers, if anyone ever feels like delving into one of the articles etc i'll be happy to hear the conversations. truth is digesting tlp will take more than just this.
mircea_popescu: for that matter - im almost done with 2010, there's only ~4 years left, i should hope im done this month.
pete_dushenski: not that i'm looking for it to end, mind oyu
mircea_popescu: jurov ikr ? i've been spamming the shit out of tlp, but the truth is it's a much more convenient format than trying to make all thgese half and quarter articles into trilema items.
pete_dushenski: i spent the who weekend speaking french so i'm still thinking in it lol
pete_dushenski: i see that there's a modest pile of logs and quite a bit more trilema to catch up on.
