gabriel_laddel: wanted to know how ready-for-anything people are making electronics nowdays, seeing
as I know literally nothing about hardware. ben_vulpes hola & idk, never soldered anything before so should be fun
gabriel_laddel: managed to kill a x220 circuit board by swapping the screen to another, identical while machine was running. is this the sort of thing to 'fry' circuitry, and
as a general rule I suppose no life fire electronics around CPUs?
mircea_popescu: recruited
as a “unicorn” by a Neurologist at a hospital in town. She abandoned me and our middle child who has Autism. She took the youngest and oldest boy and they are considered now Mitch’s children. So, excuse me if I can’t be open minded enough to understand this. I don’t. It hurts incredibly bad and I don’t understand how a doctor, with a wife and six children, could steal my wife and try to take my children."

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-05#1793241 << i've been living for half a year now simply rejecting all websites what are
https-only and implement idiotic "modern" ciphers. items such
as github etc no longer load for me, and i tell you i don't particularly weep the demise of a bunch of retarded pantsuitsites.
trinque: from there, can consider *their* portage the "overlay", and can port things over
as they come
a111: Logged on 2018-04-05 18:59 asciilifeform: unrelatedly, trinque , ever looked into purging sslism from gentoo ? in particular the existence of /etc/ca-certificates.conf and its contents
as a ~mandatory package, i find quite irritating
trinque: minor barfs such
as douchebag's might just be the sound of purging, who knows til later
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes the left is actually cognitively incapable of representing tmsr, from my measurements. about
as safe
as rats in cretacic.
a111: Logged on 2018-04-05 20:12 mircea_popescu: this is such a direct equivalent of yesterday's ballistic-gellatin wank it's starting to draw out a profile (for what i previously called the wikitard, but i guess lesswrong is just a particularily thick cloud of them) : asocial beta male that has managed to move the conceptual universe of cartoons into "real life" such
as they live it.
mircea_popescu: then they believe (pretend to "think critically", but do no such thing, simply believe) rank nonsense like "global warming" because... THE MODEL!!! the model reminds them of the simplified characters in the manga they loved
as children and the general deus-ex-machina atmosphere fits well with their only formative experiences.

as a basis. so : 1. you are in the hospital for "maybe wanting to kill yourself", after having made ill advised 1970s comments to 2010s paki diversity-"doctor" ; 2. "I remember working with a doctor who wanted to discharge his patient to some kind of outpatient drug rehab. The patient refused to go, so the doctor wouldn’t discharge her, and they were i
a111: Logged on 2018-04-05 17:01 asciilifeform: ave1: we had just the other day a thread re 'gnat pro'. it's interesting, in principle, but i sure
as fucking daylight ain't ever signing nonredistribution oaths for a compiler
trinque: "oh sorry, outside world moved while we held still. build is now broke
as a joke."
lobbes: Archive PSA: Semi-automatic archiving has resumed via my "manual" pulling of the crank at irregular intervals
as a temporary "stop gap" solution. Fully automatic archiving to resume once I plug my security holes and build a sane parser for urls
mircea_popescu: that';s the point, the support contract. can ask gingold and actually expect an answer,
as opposed to hope for one.
mircea_popescu: douchebag
as above : according to whom, "the terrorists" ?
mircea_popescu: try to leverage technology to convince the political power to give you some decidous leaves inscribed with flattering but ultimately hollow words such
as "glory forever!" which will stick around for a season before turning to dust.
mircea_popescu: douchebag
as things currently stand, if it's fiats and it's not in the billions you're wasting your time.
mircea_popescu: the ammounts of money involved in all this are so trivial
as to not meet the bar for being called money.
douchebag: and I sure
as fuck don't get paid to play video games
mircea_popescu: but
as the elite increasingly opts out of supporting the "shiny happy faces of drooling imbeciles" modern of postmodern democracy, the thing will fall. it can't support itself, the only way it can live is for
as long
as you're willing to take $1k in lieu of "tell you what, I OWN tmobile now, you can all go home / hit the unemployment lines"
mircea_popescu: douchebag anyway, i'm not saying the options you're taking aren't on the table. they are. i am however saying that the table won't last ; which of course is about
as interesting in the direct
as telling a brontosaurus happily chewing on a fern that a meteoir's coming. "so... what does this mean ~TO ME~, should i switch to chewing palms ?"
mircea_popescu: so they "pay" you in the sense of giving you nothing
as far
as they concerned to get in exchange the very valuable (
as far
as they're concerned) option to continue exactly
as before ?
mircea_popescu: incidentally, that "'navigating-and-or-avoiding-the-inpatient-mental-health-system" is about
as fucking terrible
as haskellists code.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in local news bulletin : took slut out shopping yest, bought her a mostly see through and very ass-flattering dress at a shop which identifies itself
as : "Punt. San Jose, centro al frente de la puerta principal del Colegio de Senoritas."
lobbes:
as it stood, my own bot's commands on the old directory weren't even represented accurately. plus the spec does specify each bot should have a "help" command listing all other commands
a111: Logged on 2018-04-03 23:48 lobbes: I agree this needs archiving (I'm currently working off their version of kritik der reinen vernunft
as a german study aid). However, unlike kibo.com I would wager the entirety of gutenberg is much much larger. I'd prolly need moar storage than the ~200gb ssd on the dedicated home craptop I'm currently using (but maybe not) >>
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-03#1792648 trinque: parser implements a given grammar, turning a string (whether considered
as text or raw bits) into an abstract syntax tree
douchebag: Just make sure a problem like that doesn't occur again. Remote code execution is just
as bad
as it can get

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-03#1792648 ☝︎☟︎ lobbes: and shinohai,
as much
as I'd like to blame this on supybot, this one is all me (the exploited code was all brewed by yours truly)
mircea_popescu: this actually misses the all-important mechanism. "when we need to disambiguate, we add more words such
as to contradict one of the two possible solutions the string could eval to"
mircea_popescu: "in natural languages, we are used to context. indeed, contextual meaning is what makes natural languages natural. we have `list'
as a verb, and we have `list'
as a noun. we have `listless'
as an adjective describing something (like a programming language) that does not have lists, and an adjective describing someone who is sort of permanently tired. when we need to disambiguate, we do so with more words."
spyked: also,
as a fun-fact: I tried running lispbots on an old first-gen raspberry pi, but it seems SBCL doesn't support threading on ARM (at least not ARMv6 and ARMv7). so I want to test that on ARM64.
mircea_popescu: spyked
as described this item would actually make a great node ; whether the practice holds is to be seen in practice.
mircea_popescu:
as you don't do a lot of numbers churning, it might be tghe perfect item for you. and if not, well, we see.
mircea_popescu: yeah, tell you what, i'll be
as happy
as you are once it's finally done.
douchebag: lobbes: Just make sure whenever you handle any user input, consider all input
as potentially malicious
mircea_popescu: lobbes well fine, but i was discussing teh design
as such. there's no rule against "i have a crappy box for a server that's not worth placing in a dc so it sits in garage", sure. nor is there any rule against "i just simplified speech, called it homebox, it's not" -- but what you say is all i have to go on, that's all.
douchebag: lobbes: If you want to make a secure application, consider all user input
as malicious
lobbes: What would you suggest
as a better design? Obvs no passing urls via bash
lobbes: Oya. Hey, this is the peril of "learning
as you go"
mircea_popescu: (consider, the way linux works today, if i can run wget
as a user i can take the box, the memory leaks.)

http://logs.bvulpes.com/trilema?d=2018-4-3#324610 <<< I'm sorry, been working on my new book "How to set chmod permissions in under 1 minute so users can log into their shell, and other things isp ops should know!" .... but I'll look into that
as time permits.
shinohai: yup and it shall rejoin
as soon
as i get back @ desk. my apologies for inconvenience
shinohai: ben_vulpes is also aware *why* checking if bot is in #trilema these days is kinda low on list of priorities,
as i am in field and only read logs.

mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-04-03 01:03 trinque: but, I would recommend a student go build his own by hand. doing so by reading my script would be fine, so long
as you research every line to understand why that step was done.
shinohai: logs.bvulpes.com/trilema?d=2018-4-3#324450 <<< have used your script, and it's former incantaion from years ago - very useful things. My solution thus far is simply running a binhost locally, which is temporary
as I try to tweak recipe for amd64.
mircea_popescu: and
as it has to be said : you are not a man until you've played a browser game through curl, pipe and awk/sed.
mircea_popescu: lobbes here's a bonus : suppose you have a lengthy file (such
as say a server log) and you want to extract just one column. you got awk : cat hurr.txt | awk '{print $3}' (and -F will set the delimiter if space's no good).
trinque: lol nah I had one of those before, wrong jusrisdiction to straighten her out,
as per the definitive trilema.
trinque: but, I would recommend a student go build his own by hand. doing so by reading my script would be fine, so long

trinque: but
as dianan_coman observed, the outside world moved, while the thing hadn't yet eaten enough of the outside world.
mircea_popescu: (
as you might intuit, i was a terror
as a 5yo being introduced to darwinism. "so why did the other birdy quit ?" "well the guy was bigger." "so ?" "so he's affraid of him." "why ?" "because he's bigger." "So what if he's bigger ? what could he do ? just flies around like an idiot" "could peck it" "so could the smaller one!" and on and on.)
mircea_popescu: phf that's the issue in my head, of no practical consequence
as it is : why, exactly, different beast, and how ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform seems to me a correctly designed and properly implemented version of trinque 's original doodle, which he summarily described
as "bundle all files together and hash"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: file a/hurr/durr.txt hash aba1 matches file b/hurr/hurr.txt hash aba1, durr.txt was renamed
as hurr.txt (renaming and moving are, like norton commander correctly identified, the SAME op. it's all a namechange.)
mircea_popescu: at which juncture i suppose it'd pay to check, huh. hey phf, my memory of logs discussion includes this item whereby the above problem was fully resolved by declaring the path
as inseparable part of the filename. you on the same page ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ah. so then get the whet back and see from there. maybe new vdiff is ready ; if not and you want to march you can apply spyked's patch on the extant codebase
as published by phf, if i understand correctly that should fix your problem. the diffs you produce with the thing thereby compiled will work with later restared vdiff too.
mircea_popescu: piddly $100k career take for "elite" representatives of the embattled government ? vulnerable
as all hell.
mircea_popescu: "3x
as many male managers are now uncomfortable mentoring women in the wake of #MeToo. This is a huge step in the wrong direction. We need more" << roflmao.
mircea_popescu: honestly i don't recall being
as infuriated with computers hence.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and the idea is to keep a spare there in any case, even if we don't use it for anything, "to make up for lost time", live a little
as it were ?
