mircea_popescu: somehow these morons went from 1980s alec baldwin's "go home and play with your kids" alt-fuck you you're a total waste of space to curtis yarvin's 2020s "i'll go home and play with my kids", direct restatement of "fuck you guise, i'm going home"
mircea_popescu: i can play with some kids for the cost of a car ride to the park, what's that do ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, am i the only one grated by just how much of a cop-out this "kids" thing became ? "oh, im going to play with my kids, which is to say you're OBLIGATED to believe my life has some sort of meaning".
mircea_popescu: (the view that gpg aka koch-rsa leaks bits via signature isn't entirely dispelled even today)
mircea_popescu: anyway, item quoted/discussed is authentic, precisely equally authentic to any pre 0.3 bitcoin version.
mircea_popescu: right ? it's an absurd standard, dood never did such while living.
mircea_popescu: anyway. on a long enough time horizon all socialism aka militant stupidity converges. of course yarvin merges with ethertards, what's there to distinguish them besides historical accident (ie, the exact converse of timeline, the thing time washes out)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform by now the moron's studious ignorance is pretty much his only salient feature. same as that other y schmuck.
mircea_popescu: for exquisite bonus lulz, "jet" is what a romanian speaking slut would say to a romanian speaking drunk moron in a romanian speaking bar, meaning "get the fuck lost".
mircea_popescu: how ~the fuck~ is "nock" gonna identify-and-replace-with-jets when ginko417 is manifestly incapable of the very same task ? (or rather, for they psychologically inclined : WHY is it ginko417 imagines dealing with a jet is "nock"'s job ?)
☟︎ mircea_popescu re-read the comment section, from back in 2013, chuckled at random moron who perceived he can write himself the option to not engage mp saying things at him because (some variant of) "they do not display the right formalism" right smack drab in the middle of a discussion about some magical means for ~machines~ to recognize equivalent-formalisms through... magic.
mircea_popescu: (ie, you can construct an infinity of rng strings which'll make a given sct "falsely" converge)
☟︎ mircea_popescu: but tbh, the "stochastic convergence test" seems to me worth A LOT more than any bs "ent" ultimately meaningless "squares of pi" bs.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: short explanation. and short words, in big thick font.
mircea_popescu: "here, whole conclave of morons ~can do absolutely nothing~". even if you lose money, you lose money in a way they're worth losing.
mircea_popescu: amazon is fucked anyway, the time to break the usg.web is now.
mircea_popescu: "you should have gone with pizarro" "i did this in 2015, where was pizarro ?" "mkay."
mircea_popescu: what the fuck is a Cristian Rodriguez anyway ?! might as well be schmuck mcsmith.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the first fucking move is to establish yourself as a domain expert.
mircea_popescu: yeah, whining about how "red pillers" or w/e the fuck si the term de jour for inept morons/exterminators singing "i have seen the glory of the bloodletting at the zoo" while driving their beat up truck not reading is one thing. make pretty pictures is another thing.
mircea_popescu: "hilary's worst nightmare", use the woman's picture all ugly or scared or w/e.
mircea_popescu: and sell it like things are sold, atm it's "just a rumour", mentioned here and there, drums up on the usual human-experience-exponential and so on. "anti-usg hosting", come up with some catchy.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo talk to the various webhosting forums etc (with whom you've build by now a relationship, yes ?) how much they want for a site takeover / w/e they do for the big deal advertising.
mircea_popescu: have a nice sale page, clearly communicate what's going on, drive to it. what do you have, like 6 weeks ?
mircea_popescu: needless to say, a "we're flyting over 50 rks, gotta fill these THAT WEEK, giving everyone 50% off for 3 months" media event / webhosting forum takeover / etc is de rigueur.
mircea_popescu: that'll take your rk plant to 6 (extant) + 48 additional ?
mircea_popescu: " this gives 2 1u slots remaining, they can be occupied by colo passengers, will carry rk plants otherwise"
mircea_popescu: i meant, pizarro made more money as a financial vehicle, exploiting fx rates, than as an operator.
mircea_popescu: b) the principal moneymaker for pizarro has been its booked stock of iron
mircea_popescu: a) there's nothing wrong with specialisation (and especially if you figure out how to expand the ram -- which a stock of these gives you incentive to do, ie, specialisation drives competence) ;
☟︎ mircea_popescu: this is not even a bad idea, turn iffy situation itno "help drive rk adoption".
mircea_popescu: "we dunno wtf happened, i guess to a certain mind events centered on jan 13th suspicious as fuck, we have a new kernel and we redid the bios just in case, dunno what more can be possibly done" is, or atleast i guess will have to be, acceptable.
mircea_popescu: do you suppose bios could benefit from a reflash ? if nothing else, to have thermal / crash logging as expected ?
mircea_popescu: i recall folks asking, and you saying ok, rather than "you know what... i don't even recall who made this kernel, maybe i remake it when i have time befgore oking this"
mircea_popescu: quite well snapped to the peculiar idiocy of a certain band of peculiar idiots.
mircea_popescu: but yes, i run systems which had 0 unexpected reboots, and i've thrown out components / replaced / redesigned systems over unexpected reboots.
mircea_popescu: not proposing this is foolproof or anything ; not strictly speaking ~impossible~ thermal trip went unnoticed.
mircea_popescu: you'd just notice box went from spewing 50s to spewing 55s suddenly. or w/e.
mircea_popescu: there's a discrete flow of air from each rack that they measure.
mircea_popescu: same fucking thing is the case in ~every dc i eve rsaw, there's a line of sensors above the racks, and can tell whether box is working 30s, 40s or 70s
mircea_popescu: you ever been in one of those parking lots where they have devices telling you how many free spots per isle/level, and red/green light above the individual spots ? without, magically, having a rod up your driver's ass.
mircea_popescu: man. cpu doesn't overheat in a vacuum, gimme a break already.
mircea_popescu: i suppose this is an academic discussion. in any case, i've had warnings re hot boxes from dcs before, it's not a wholly unheard of item. laser sensor costs ~nothing, and hvac management is 60% of what they do for a living.
mircea_popescu: the isle cooler tends to notice if rack x is spewing out 200C
mircea_popescu: i ~also~ find it peculiar your dc wouldn't have alerted you in case of thermal trip. because in general they have sensors.
mircea_popescu: photo or no photo. did you take your own weight in gunk out of the fans over there ?!
mircea_popescu: and then, when i went to clean it, i found it dirty ; as opposed to clean.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i did. let me tell you how it behaved : box went down. upon reboot it went down again, in the following manner : every time it was rebooted, within a finite time interval (bout an hour). no exceptions.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this observation merely begs the question of "why".
mircea_popescu: indulge me. so the theory goes that an event with a probability inferior to 1e-4 / day occured three times in two days ?
mircea_popescu: ie, a fan stoppedf by itself, and then started working again, by itself ?
mircea_popescu: (i think the third reboot was actually you guise, or not ?)
mircea_popescu: so to get this straight, your "most likely explanation" points to... ram failure resulting in kernel panic... twice ?
