mircea_popescu: from a link of yours
to
the urbit guy, quoting some w/e
the fuck other dork like him.
mircea_popescu: "and while I considered myself no more competent
to discuss Hegel's logic
than Leibniz's mathematics, I failed
to see why discussion of a subject like slavery by
the former should be closed
to literary intrusion when, in
the case of
the latter, such an intrusion had produced Candide." and
there's
the moneyshot.
mircea_popescu: "whereupon, with
the pain
that I can only compare
to
that of a forcibly extracted illusion, I discovered
that
the bearded essayist had done just what schoolchildren do
the world over, namely, repeated Hegel's argument paraphrastically, just as if it had been
the proof of a Euclidean
theorem or
the
tale of a big bad wolf called Sein."
mod6: i still liked it
tho. music was pretty good, brings me back. hehe
mod6: alright, yeah, definiately different
than i remembered it. i had completely blocked out or forgotten
the jewish numerology part.
mod6: i just watched
the 'pi'
trailor. it indeed has been a while haha. ive got pi in
the queue. might re-watch
tonight yet.
mod6: ah, ok.
thanks, will watch.
mircea_popescu: pretty much
the same exact film, so much so i always suspected pi is a remake. hero is struggling with memory rather
than insanity but otherwisw ~same sexuality, ~same magical jew, same quest for
the ultimate meaning and so following.
mircea_popescu: it's
the d aronofsky item from 1998 we're
talking about yes ?
mircea_popescu: soo apparently
trilema includes review of requiem for a dfream,
the wrestler and black swan, but NOT pi
hanbot: mod6
that was my favorite film when i was 16 or so. i
tried
to watch it again recently with mixed results. still love
the soundtrack
though.
mod6: anyone ever see
that movie 'pi' ?
mircea_popescu: the point is bitcoin permits me
to rape eth, and
turn mit into a sort of ransom faucet.
this doesn't go away by speaking.
zineKing: Except it does, because you're
talking about markets -- social constructs, made by humans
mircea_popescu: in order for a round earth spinning around
the sun
to be "accepted by
the masses" exactly nothing has
to happen.
zineKing: don't get me wrong, I'm
totally onboard with
the plan. But in order for a crypto
to be accepted by
the masses it has
to be a better alternative, more efficient,
than what people currently use.
to me,
the closest
thing right now is probably ETH
mircea_popescu: there's
that guy
that saw ipad as cutting board, his fucking ipad, can do as he please.
mircea_popescu: well what you see
things as is entirely your priviledge no ?
zineKing: I bought in at 2011, I still see xbt specifically as a currenct
that is just not feasible
to be rolled out globally, due
to
the excruciatingly slow speed and
the high fees.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-12 16:48 mircea_popescu: well, reading
through what ? #trilema is
the forum of
the most serene republic, a
terrorist organisation dedicated
to
the dissolution of all fiat sovereigns and
the permanent barring of such nonsense in
the future.
mircea_popescu: if you keep reading you will discover
trilema is principally a repository of answers
to questions
the random idiots of "mainstream" pretend
to have discovered years later and "resolve" in
their usual manner.
zineKing: so, real
talk, do you actually believe xbt specifically will be
the number one choice of cryptocurrency worldwide?
this recent spike in price saw smaller payments made virtually impossible due
to high fees
zineKing: I am assuming, correctly or not,
that at least one crypto will
take
the place as a world currency sooner or later, wrong or not
mircea_popescu: bitcoin is inescapably and permanently
the definitive word on linguistic order, which includes all monetary considerations as a minor point.
zineKing: which crypto do you
think will be
the defacto, go-to coin for world wide affairs?
zineKing: mircea_popescu: so, real
talk, do you actually believe bitcoin specifically will be
the number one choice of cryptocurrency worldwide?

Techman say /query deedbot
to open a pm session ; say !!up in
there
to it ;
then return !!v
the string.
trinque: gladly. I prefer
to produce a genesis *after*
the
thing's been wrung
through other
than my own requirements.
mod6 is looking at
the musl overlay
mod6: I'll
try
to find a spot
to
try
this
thing out in
the next day or
two.. maybe you can walk me
through some of
the stuff.
shinohai: This is impressice
trinque, will
test and report back o7
a111: Logged on 2017-12-30 21:38 esthlos: jawbone2: my 2cents: get a linode with a static ip for $5/mo. for a dynamic dns, run a cron sending your local ip
to
the linode, and a cron
to edit your dns record accordingly on
the remote. for
the web server, either preroute remote's 80
to some local port, or just run it on non-80
mircea_popescu: "we didn't know how you wanted your house laid out so we put
this sqm in
the middle
that has
to be
traversed FOR EVERYTHING! hope you enjoy all
the copping a
titfeel in your own god damned house"
mircea_popescu: whatever
the fuck but
this pointlessly self-crit of a spurious bottleneck.
mircea_popescu: what
the fuck, "oh we don't know what people may plug into
the bus", like it's 1979 and i go around
the killer micros with syringe needles.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, have dedicated fucking lines. all
this "oh, we have nfi what will hang off
this cpu" pretense is 1980s idiocy. WE FUCKING KNOW. have dedicated netbridge ; have or not have dedicated video bridge -- YOU KNOW if you're putting or not puting a fucking vidcard in
there but you don't know whether you need a bus for it or not ? gimme a fucken break!
mircea_popescu: yeah. you were all "well, sorry it's broken" last month or w/e, but realise -- back when it was written it was ahead of
the v as a concept.
that it meanwhile become broken is merely because
the
tide raised ; but
the
tide raised because, in no small part, it existed.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> mod6 you realise
this, your original v actually worked out in practice as major pivot improving v significantly from notion
to item. <<
thanks. it's been great
to see it come
to life. it's a work in progress :]
mircea_popescu: incidentally, did we do
the "single bus is idiocy, unless using alf's serialized dongle cpu, do
the shit properly"
thread ?
a111: Logged on 2017-03-23 16:31 asciilifeform:
the sad
thing re
the iron , is
that 'determine if installed, and if so, where on
the bus' is often 80% of
the driver !
trinque recalls
the sad
thread where it was explained
to him how
the
thing's a pile of recursive busses keistered in keisters
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i prefer my formulation, but yes, i'd have
taken b.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'd have preferred much more exposed parameters/configs
than "modules", for instance.
mircea_popescu: mod6 you realise
this, your original v actually worked out in practice as major pivot improving v significantly from notion
to item.
mircea_popescu: it's shocking how philosophically undedicated
them folks are, 0 adherence
to any kind of principle or anything whatsoever.
mircea_popescu: trinque
the VERY FUCKING NOTION of "modules" is basically abandonment of kernel.
mircea_popescu is looking forward
to mod6 putting some of
these into hardware, because while he's very cute as he gets all flustered from repeated failure,
the whole process is nevertheless immensely useful & productive.
trinque: asciilifeform: worth a
thread maybe, but I loathe
the one-kernel-for-them all approach; I don't even ship my kernels with module loading enabled
a111: Logged on 2017-12-30 20:14 jawbone2: My name is Jim Weaver I live in Florida. I do not keep a blog yet.
That is coming with my webserver project
trinque: wip cuntoo script only does apu2, but if you read it, it'd be
trivial
to parameterize
the kernel config
trinque: I provided one for
the apu2 in
the archive I'm uploading
to blogbox atm
a111: Logged on 2017-12-30 20:11 ben_vulpes: a useful patch for folks in jawbone2 's position would update
the results of getinfo
to indicate whether
trb considered a connection 'inbound' or 'outbound' so
that you could determine if your dyndns hacks were working
esthlos: i want
to say v is genius, but it seems like common fucking sense. columbus' egg i suppose
mircea_popescu: the bizarre sort of "humility"
the empire keeps pushing.
trinque: and
they use
things like "release signing key" because persons don't exist
mircea_popescu: "very strict" : if i can't lean on
them
to make a proper genesis, also just as good as not existing
mircea_popescu: but in shorthand practical
terms, if
they don't have a genesis we can patch upon,
they don't exist.
mircea_popescu: the logic is actually very strict : only key can sign,
therefore only key can genesis, and see all
the discussions around mpi re exactly what code production is deemed etc.
esthlos: so some of
the gentoo devs are around?
mircea_popescu: it makes sense
to re-do imperial crud under
the republic ; it makes comparatively little sense
to
try and pick among
the anonymous imperials for "the good one".
mircea_popescu: esthlos in a word, because none of
the gerard beekmans matthre burgess bruce dubbs etc are known
to us / have a !!key and so on
trinque: sure we've all done LFS in
teens or w/e
trinque: that's not a
thing so much as a "yes you could be a human build system"
trinque was prompted
to finish
the reproductive gentoo when he went
to build a box like always, found
the shitgnomes had eroded earth from under his build system
mircea_popescu: anyway,
this will need more
thought by which i mean more failed attempts.
trinque: then jettison
the old
tree
