mircea_popescu: ReadErr it's almost definitionally unfun. "you pressed button X, now you have
ten seconds
to save your life". hurr.
mircea_popescu: though i also suppose misrepresentation in media has a lot
to do with ellaborate misperception. no, if you drop one on your
toe you're not going
to escape with merely
the gift of blindness, "like
that guy in scent of a woman".
mircea_popescu: in
there with "i gnaw at my own prepuce and shove nail clippings into my lacrimal ducts" sorta "fun"
mircea_popescu: nfi who'd
throw grenades recreationally, but i suspect
the reason it's part of mental diagnosis is because it's so fucking unfun, you have
to have serious issues
to
think otherwise.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-03 14:26 ReadErr: i wan
to go
to a country
that lets you
toss live grenades
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-03#1763141 <<
the us "lets you" in
the same way anyone ever will, drive
to
the desert and blast away.
the only problem is
that i'd rate
throwing grenades at more annoying (in
the sense, you'd have
to pay me more
to do it)
than using a concrete drill/chainsaw for four hours. PER ITEM. even if you have
the shoot spiggot on
the ak
they're a pain in
the butt.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: i can't imagine who has
the energy/resources even. but...
mircea_popescu: i suspect it's "school"-induced passivization, "i have
to spend
twelve hours a day while a bunch of
teachers/advertisers/politicans/whatever
try
their best
to summon my attention out of
the fatty crevices it hides into"
mircea_popescu: phf and when did
the ustard female fall into
this "everything exists
to justify itself
to me"
trap anyway ? dude! if you're under 30 nobody's going
to seek you out
to explain lengthy explanation
to obtain your permission, what
the holy fuck omfg!
phf: mircea_popescu: i go
to burning man related parties, i'm unfortunately very familiar with what "kink scene" is. at
this point using any relevant
terminology as applied
to self is suspect.
mircea_popescu: mechanism
to "loosen out
the pressure", if you will, ie
textbook social dynamic. if you want context see ice cube & butt buddy interaction with
their landlady's son in
that abomination i referenced recently, wtf was it
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nah, it's a very genuine social dynamic in monkey society (or "african-american" if you prefer), wherein strength dominates
the very crowded quarters
they're forced into, but speed is more useful for
the group (as seen in ferguson, say). consequently, quick fuckers now and again scurry behind
the big kahuna and knock him out, just foer
the experience of it.
mircea_popescu: "i was brushing my
teeth
this morning, officer, and i got distracted by a finger's worth of underboob in
that gym advertisment, and so accidentally hit myself in
the jaw with
the
toothrbush and
that's
the last i remeber!
THERE WERE
THREE OF
THEM AND
THEY WERE BLACK!!!1"

trying

mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-03#1763132 << it's kinda funny how all sorta
three-toothpicks-tied-together doods go like "oh, knockout game".
the FUCKING IDEA is
to knock out someone by surprise when it's even vaguely conceivable you couldn't have otherwise. who
the fuck is going
to "knockout game" some dood
that looks like he'd get knocked out falling out of bed / in some kind of
toothbrush incident.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: for her oh-so-precious evaluation of
things,
that's why
the world exists, so she can say "i rate
this very good and interesting" ;
then
there
they sit like so many manatees, "i am kinky and what's an entry point?!"
mircea_popescu: phf you know, "kinky" is rapidly becoming a very dirty word, sorta like "moron" ? 99% of my exposure
to "kinky" comes from reviewing bot logs, where
the pattern is 1. item self-identifies as "kinky" ; 2. bot goes
through HELO/EHLO with
them, provides entry point ; 3.
they come back with "here is my valuation of $entry-point". because
totally, anon bitch on meat market is a) in some kind of position of power and b) being asked
mircea_popescu: now calculate how much
the dumbass ciscos burn on javascript-emulated iphone-for-nsa.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no dood,
the usg can
turn it off! unlike you know, interwebs.
mircea_popescu: "amateur musician", check out
the
thickness of delusion on
these people. RAPPERS ARE NOT MUSICIANS OMFG!
BingoBoingo: Urban schools put a greater emphasis on
the regalia
BingoBoingo: But
the apparel is from his secondary school education.
mircea_popescu: they mature quicker in
the hood or what's being signalled here ?

think
that's a matter of perspective. i
treat is as what knuth&graham call a "recurrent problem", i.e. it can be solved by finding a small case, which is self-similar
to
the whole.
the solution can also be proved by induction
a111: Logged on 2018-01-03 14:01 BingoBoingo: And were you
there before or after Micheal Brown was martyred in August 2014? Since
then
the city's gone into a far more intense race war
a111: Logged on 2018-01-03 13:55 ReadErr: must be a pretty serious
thing if you can afford
to do it fulltime for now
mircea_popescu: same reason us never managed
to get restaurants as a
thing
mircea_popescu: "lack of demand", in
the sense of "demand"
that is informed and deliberate.
mircea_popescu: it's rather likely
the boys-best-friend calc went exactly
the way of lassie.
too expensive, and who is
the
terrorist reminding people
that back in
the 60s, every boy owned a dog as
training for when he'll own a bitch.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-03 17:14 asciilifeform: phf: dunno
that 'recursive' is
the word. it's a wholly ordinary iteration.

to wtf all of
this was,
these old gadgets are (literally) 'derive.exe'-in-a-can.
ben_vulpes: not only
that but it doesn't display 8 decimal places naively, and i don't care
to figure out how
to fixit, so it got binned on
the spot.
ben_vulpes: so i dug
this
ti-89 platinum out of my closet last night
to have something
tactile
to do arithmetic on and holy shit i'd completely forgotten about
the input lag
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2018-01-03 17:07 phf: using
the boolean we execute an if/else branch which either swaps
the
two numbers and drops
the
top most '_, or drops
the
top most without swapping _.
the final drop _ is an artifact of conditional implementation
that always leaves a value on
the stack.
phf: we repeat
the base case n-1
times.

☟︎☟︎ phf: the base operation is comparison <, but it drops both numbers, so we need
to preserve
them first by using a `` . we are left with a boolean result of a comparison and

ben_vulpes: mine's been doing a marvelous job at staying at
the
tip, and i suspect
that my network slices have made
transaction broadcasting more reliable, but
This Ain't Science
jhvh1: asciilifeform:
The operation succeeded.
phf: welcome
to running an irc bot
☟︎ phf: oh hey, PeterL also did an optimization
that i didn't notice at
the
time
phf: asciilifeform: oh hey so i posted my solution on chapter 5, and
this
time around i have an id: 18558
phf: so i pulled an old iphone out of storage for
travel, and discovered
that half
the ips it gets are klined on freenode. at least from nyc
phf: happy new year,

a111: Logged on 2017-10-05 00:19 asciilifeform: here's a choice lulzgem: 'One-location hammering is based on a previously unknown Rowhammer effect. With one-location hammering,
the attacker only runs a Flush+Reload loop on a single memory address at
the maximum frequency.
This virtually keeps
the DRAM bank permanently open. We observed
that one-location hammering drains enough charge from
the DRAM cells
to induce bit flips.'
danielpbarron: be like best korea. not allowed
to have nukes. gets nukes anyway
ReadErr: I mean, real
talk, i would settle on a flashbang
too
danielpbarron: or a country
that can't stop you from
throwing
them. who cares what
they "let you do"
ReadErr: i wan

☟︎ danielpbarron: i did karaoke for new years. danced so hard i
think i'm getting sick now
ReadErr: when i read mortar and 6 shells, i was
thinking like real military stuff for some reason

☟︎☟︎ BingoBoingo: Here
the locals say Ciuda Vieja is dangerous at night. I walk around
there at night. Very safe. Just a bunch of idle dorks sitting around.
ReadErr: he went
to
the news
trying
to say he was a knockout game victim
ReadErr: ran his mouth off
to some folks leaving a bar
