trinque: ah, then I don't follow
mircea_popescu: the usa you live in, much like the argentina i live in, is wholly made up of people who buy the fucking yearl agendas on time.
ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-08-2015#1253499 << dunno which usa mircea_popescu was thinking of, but the one i live in contains bozos who shell out for $3k 'macbooks' etc. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: That's fair' I didn't even read the whole thing either
mircea_popescu: also, http://40.media.tumblr.com/pBOYZzcWxfulnz6tlpGAiKyno1_500.jpg << I need feminism for to STOP RAEP !
mircea_popescu: tar was still used for insulation in 4.5V batteries when i was a kid. and the cells were paper wrapped. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: (and how convenient she's female - i'd like to see someone keep a 19yo guy pinned down with the old folks for six weeks.)
mircea_popescu: the girl (i think it's a girl ?) setting the table does not shit ? why's she get a plate then ?
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: it is no deep secret that the 'shelter industry' was largely part cargo-cult, part 'i wanna build a wine cellar without wife bitching'
ascii_field: and i'm not speaking of junkyard iron, either, but brand-new
assbot: Logged on 27-08-2015 20:37:00; mircea_popescu: mats i don't see a way to implement his scheme as anything but running dozens of machines to replace my desktop. which, in fairness, was one of the proposed approaches back in the 70s.
mircea_popescu: mats i don't see a way to implement his scheme as anything but running dozens of machines to replace my desktop. which, in fairness, was one of the proposed approaches back in the 70s. ☟︎
mats: i suppose we should define terminology, then: what does it mean for something to be 'single-task'? what abstraction level is non-arbitrary (or appropriate)?
assbot: Logged on 27-08-2015 18:18:04; mats: this represents such a regression in so many ways i am unable to count them
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-08-2015#1253398 << i'm curious to hear the list. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: but i'm more curious about how you view the vietnam thing in your own experience.
mircea_popescu: i suspect many laptops are sold in the manner of printers. except you pay for "service" instead of "cartridges"
moonpunter: i just think he's ridiculous to take offense to people using a term he himself introduced. anyone with half a brain would never use a term like that and expect an intelligent group to not dissect and then turn it around on them.
punkman: mircea_popescu: no repair shop does anything other than what you normally do with desktops << I couldn't readily repair this one at home
moonpunter: i find it ironic that mike hearn is taking issue with people using the word "dictators" although he was originally the one who suggested that gavin be a benevolent dictator
mircea_popescu: ok, that inadiquet thing rules. "i need feminism because i am stupid and white. if i were black i'd need rakim on a horse."
mircea_popescu: and jesus god trilema comments are something else. at the same time there's a woman telling me how incredibly right i was, and some derp telling me how incredibly wrong ~i'm going to be~. pointless and witless on parade, neverending, eternal.
moonpunter: i just uploaded it there a few minutes ago. probably have to wait a bit.
moonpunter: what is assbot looking for, if i manage my keys with enigmail?
kakobrekla: as for the search, i know of at least one reasons that it should be resynced fully
assbot: Logged on 27-08-2015 17:26:30; mats: it seems log.b-a is dropping stuff, i can't find things from e.g. 02APR2015
thestringpuller: "Processing triggers for systemd" << i throw up when I see this at work
trinque: I can see that point; we spoke of the human fuel gauge scenario recently
trinque: speaking as a fool, this seems like two gentlemen talking entirely at crossways. on the one hand, what do I do with all these monstrous linux machines I'm already using? (perhaps tape, if you have nothing else) and on the other hand, what would I build to replace the whole mess
mats: this represents such a regression in so many ways i am unable to count them ☟︎
mats: i am mindfucked by your argumentation and have nothing left to share
mats: i'm bowled over by the thought that you believe that e.g. the 'msdos' security model is a good idea
ascii_field: mats: i have often named historical examples of 'fits in head.' but you choose to ignore them. why ?
mats: because the way i see it, the thing that you describe maintains fluid form precisely to resist any kind of meaningful description
ascii_field: why should i let you set the ground rules ? i understand how transistor works, how vlsi is carried out; how to build cpu. why should i accept the idiocy soup as the bedrock abstraction ?
ascii_field: i did.
mats: and then there's the much less measurable thing i presume you're talking about, which is those leaks that result from 'fits in head'
ascii_field: and by 'understand' i mean - if necessary - to recreate from piles of atoms sorted by mendeleev table position.
ascii_field: and you don't get to say that i should not wish to do this.
ascii_field: everything that i might ever need to be exposed to to understand the whole of the system.
mats: i'd also like to know what mitigations you think increase attack surface
ascii_field: mats: i know what they are nominally about, yes
mats: anyway... [2015-04-02 16:59:20] <asciilifeform> mats: i can trivially make mincemeat of this by issuing raw dma cycles. << UDEREF is about exploitation, not constraining the kernel
mats: it seems log.b-a is dropping stuff, i can't find things from e.g. 02APR2015 ☟︎
assbot: I think you drastically overestimate the military importance of nuclear weapons. on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1EZXUCF )

punkman: I went, agreed to price that was approaching cost of laptop, then he passes me a fucking form to fill out. "I'm not leaving the machine here, I have to be present" "oh never mind then, I can't help you".
punkman: so this morning I call the closest laptop repair shop off the yellow pages, tell the guy I need so-and-so repaired and X,Y,Z removed. "you should come by so I can take a look at it", "I can come by this afternoon, will you have time to work on it while I'm there?" "yes".
mircea_popescu: shinohai: https://i.imgur.com/Y33pn0E.jpg << ain't nobody's fault white people suck.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: admittedly i have precious little notion of what these folks expect. what does ant expect under the magifying glass ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform myeah i suspect not what he was expecting
BingoBoingo: related https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--L_8Y8Hqy--/c_fit,fl_progressive,q_80,w_636/1402943634426404784.jpg
BingoBoingo: Eh, I went back and read the "don't run bitcoin on a VPS because you will get bounced for CPU usage"
asciilifeform: l0l i thought there was just that one
bekusoraru: my segway does 120 vert. i fucked the landing, now i am hurt.
asciilifeform: <mircea_popescu> so i'm comissioning a commemorative drawing of the defeat of the xt, << it was defeated ?!
BingoBoingo: I mean there's unknown reddit derps including a few who shilled for mining scams before.
BingoBoingo: Lotta atroturf, few actual names I've cared to remember beyond the two An heroes for XT's cause
mircea_popescu: a you know what ? i'm putting murck in there.
mircea_popescu: i guess ima have to dig in that shitpile.
BingoBoingo: Ver barred entry in much the way I am barred exit (for nao)
mircea_popescu: i thought he was in customs detention
BingoBoingo: No, I'm more concerned with suggesting the stingray getting its rape on.
mircea_popescu: obviously he'd be in there. suggest whom i might have overlooked.
mircea_popescu: and i got a coupla spots to fill in hell.
mircea_popescu: so i'm comissioning a commemorative drawing of the defeat of the xt,
asciilifeform: i know very well that it does not.
kakobrekla: i also know a guy who lost bout that much on a week old ssd - controller dead
trinque: no, idiot reformatted it and put music or movies on it if I recall.
asciilifeform: trinque: 'cause i'll buy it.
trinque: I found out about bitcoin when a friend of mine mentioned he'd lost 136 on an encrypted hard drive for which he lost the keys.
mats: 750k shouldn't even sting. in fact, i'd think their stock _would go up_ following the closure of the matter and such a light settlement
asciilifeform: i usually 'walri'
phf: "hey, i see you have heard of movies, we also like movies you should watch movies with us"
phf: yeah, the whole "nerd culture" bait and switch. i watched some anime growing up, mostly because cyberpunk, ghost in the shell, armitage, akira, so when moved here was somehow was also expected to enjoy shit like evangelion or what's that one with rubber guy
trinque: I rather enjoy it when done well, not that I've seen that many.
phf: i wish psycho pass didn't have such obvious animu art style, gives me unpleasant flashback to college
trinque: mats: neat, I'll check both out.
mats: i recommend watching it, its quite good
trinque: aounds exactly like what I have in mind
asciilifeform: i have very special hatred reserved for so-called 'hardening' because it is a sly and weasely psychological trick, which exploits the customary context of the word (as it pertains to, e.g., metallurgy) to support an entirely spurious analogy
mats: where do i collect my winnings
mats: i predicted both of these responses by asciilifeform
trinque: I guess Trump's the anointed one.
trinque: I take it back. They're doing exactly what they should.
trinque: rather, the price, I mean.
BingoBoingo: If someone proposes and adequately funds a bet on a nominee I suppose there would be no reason not to open it.
thestringpuller: yea i di enjoy baseball season on bitbet
thestringpuller: i just saw that. they downvoted the betmoose recommendation.
assbot: This is the most reddit sounding thing possible, but how would you recommend I bet bitcoin that Bernie Sanders will win the election? : Bitcoin ... ( http://bit.ly/1Klu0Pb )
trinque: PSA: I'm moving the blockchain for deedbot- to a larger volume, during which it will reject all deeds.
mircea_popescu: well i can't fucking find a piocture, and i don't recall where the fuck this was. some sort of innovative tank helmet
mircea_popescu: dorkiest look ever, too. "hey, i'm a wizard-soldier"
mats: but hey -- get blown up twice, you go home. that's nice of 'em, i guess...
mats: poorly informed instructors i would presume
mats: i was never trained on such a device if .mil operates them
mats: i had to google to find out what you're talking about
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i dun see it, just because you ex post facto define that agenda (as do they) doesn't mean it;'s anything
