mircea_popescu: no
they aren't lmao.
the "consensus" of herdemocracy is just not
to produce it.
BingoBoingo: Kind of how I was
telling other people at hostel
that when you make eye contact with everyone you come across on your walk, you
tend not
to get acosted
mircea_popescu: it's like saying "the reason 1990s girls are emo is
that 1950 style vinly and kitchen aprons are expensive"
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> asciilifeform isn't it interesting how agricultural applicaiton ends up giving an anti-intellectual sheen
to ANYTHING it
touches. << anti-intellectual sheen is part of
the appeal of having named castle
thusly, scares
those who need it.
mircea_popescu: female agriculture is a fine example of what cracked nut would be.
try
to make one out of rubber and "nlp", get what's coming
to ye.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform a situation where it is -ev
to chemicalize/engineer.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform isn't it interesting how agricultural applicaiton ends up giving an anti-intellectual sheen
to ANYTHING it
touches.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: well, many
things depend on one's patience with die grinder. Slow sure, but most people may benefit from having a sort of meditative activity.
mircea_popescu: now
THAT'd be a golden nut
to crack.
though i have ~0 hope of it ever working.
BingoBoingo keeping quiet castle in #agriculturalsupremacy
though meeting people and perhaps soon Serfing
to fill
a111: Logged on 2017-12-28 13:28 BingoBoingo: Probably wouldn't hurt
to ask or dress up non-crapple box in aluminum case of dead crapple for moar heatsink
mircea_popescu: the drawback is
that most nobles dun wanna upkeep
their castles for some reason. i'm hoping it's mostly misunderstanding
teh future in
the benign sense of "really, didn't give
this much
thought"
mircea_popescu: so yes,
the move
to conscription is a matter of when, not of if.

this historically worked CONSIDERABLY better
than 'let's
throw
the reddit
toilet into reverse gear and see what crawls out of
the pipe'
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-27#1758896 << i have
this vague memory
that both phf and
trinque were originally introduced in
this sense by ben_vulpes ; whereas you were introduced similarily by hanbot. by comparison
the pantsuit "evidently correct & only method" of herdemocracy has produced a whole lot of indiancandies and other self-choice delusionists.

translated by one 'genius'
to
title 'умри тяжело'
a111: Logged on 2017-12-28 06:12 mircea_popescu: in other rapetrucks, i watched die hard.
the russians are germans back
then ;
the
terrorists still
terrorists.
the "career woman" still very much homely gun moll, wink wink nudge nudge.
the dumbass "technology" ie cameras on every wall more of a curio
than anything, deemed eccentricly harmless (see also above discussion of parasitosis).
BingoBoingo: So last night I returned from una cita con una chica
to discover a concert on
the roof of
the hostel was winding down. While I rehydrated drinking copious agua buena other guests at
the hostel consulted me for answers
to "What's good in Montevideo"
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> incidentally,
the fresh blood you (and
trinque ) pumped in
trb ecosystem made a lot of secondary nodes gain lots of speed
too. << Aha, since
the aggressing started and some
trb nodes changed ver string my nodes have had an easier
time staying at
the
tip
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Perhaps you fill a 1U
tray with
them and pack it into your checked luggage? If you worry about
their conenctivity it is very possible
to negotiate
them
their own dedicated or asymmetrical line.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-19 15:47 asciilifeform:
they are widely sold as surplus
today, about fiddybux ( naturally diskless )
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> !~later

that hoster
that'll host peculiarly small boxes ,
that you were using back in
the day ? i have a buncha
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-19#1754247 that fit exactly
those dimensions << I looked at "Mac Stadium" but ended up going with Joe's Datacenter before
the payment portion of Joe's website went full NameCheap retard.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: yet by comparison
to
the femprop
the pantsuits are pouring out
this decade, brainless "action" movies of
the 90s are grandiloquent cinematic accomplishments.
mircea_popescu: to quote
tlp, "half of america said hell ya, let's kick some ass and
the other half rolled its eyes and was
totally like don't you guys know we suck now ?"
mircea_popescu: in other rapetrucks, i watched die hard.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: not like
there's any further utility in
the fiatard lands.
mircea_popescu: anyway. let
them "could be" and "we said
to ourselves and
then believed" and so on until
the rapetruck comes.
phf: heh, i was prepared
to be disappointed, but
the op, as
they say, delivered
shinohai: heh i got
txt on screen, no video
shinohai: ah mircea_popescu lookup has been
there a while, but i
think i forgot
to have pete_dushenski push it
to his bots page updates.

the sale can proceed
tho
a111: Logged on 2017-12-27 19:43 asciilifeform: no prizes for guessing what ain't in
there, lol
a111: Logged on 2017-12-27 18:06 phf: i'll definitely document it
though, because
the process is arcane, and not at all automated.
mircea_popescu: this is
the fundamental counterintuitive coernerstone of civilisation : always better
to beat
the wife and children
than
to beat
the walls and fields.
mircea_popescu: optimal investment in
the other (as
teh sartrean notion) is putting
them into pain.
mircea_popescu: russia idem had
to. much less profitably, because
turns out
torturing your fellow countryman is better for
the country
than
torturing
the environment.
mircea_popescu: china HAD
TO
trade its mirvnik fat, and it's what powered its conversion from ~india
to ~us.
mircea_popescu: this is an open issue. "on
the pipe" also not voluntary
txn
mircea_popescu: dog, maybe.
then again dog eats shit does not perceive ascaris etc
mircea_popescu: and no,
t-cell doth not perceive hiv virus, nor fish
the polyp on its gills etc.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-28 01:51 mircea_popescu: obviously parasite exists irl specifically and strictly because
the victim fails
to perceive it, in other words
the organism's existence is simple proof of
the other organism's failure
to perceive and no more.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-27 17:52 asciilifeform: entirely possible
that
the man's chief sin was simply
the failure
to find worthy successor. he left
tex
to
the maggots, and
the result is exactly
the
typical result. ( just as e.g. stalin ended up leaving his 'tex'
to
the maggots, with similar result )
mircea_popescu: i am convinced
that all
these useless foreigners had not an inkling of an idea
that
they're
trading
their ancestral land for
the sack of shiny baubles, simply no conception whatsoever. "what,
there's something wrong with codebase increase ?"
they might ask, with all
the endearing pathetism of well meaning senility, in
the same
tone as
they might ask "where am i ? could you
take me home ?", lost at a crowded crossroads.

☟︎ a111: Logged on 2017-12-27 17:49 asciilifeform: ( and i gotta wonder whether lamport himself was an active perpetrator, or passive victim similar
to knuth himself, when
the 3GB of liquishit began
to form )
mircea_popescu: absent
that... you're
typing on a bluepad itooth regardless.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-27 17:48 phf: it's hard
to say how much knuth changed over years, without knowing
the man, and i don't
think "for which knuth is famous" is any kind of measure. he's certainly gotten old, but i
think he might also be constituionally incapable of participating in a consensus.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-27 17:39 phf: but
to answer
the question, i
think i don't particularly mind
the subtrate. man does computations, i wouldn't be
too concerned if he were
to switch
to ipad even, because he'd still be hand writing algorithms with a certain detachment
to
the concerns of extras
a111: Logged on 2017-12-27 17:27 phf: ircii questions are also by
the way impossible
to search for. no way
to
tell either google or ddg
to not be helpful and also mirc, irssi, etc.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-27 17:20 phf: i suspect ircii simply predates usability. back when men counted each character, because bell
telephone company metered bauds
a111: Logged on 2017-12-27 17:19 asciilifeform: somehow, on
their planet
this is considered acceptable.
mircea_popescu: not sure it's worth actually getting
this anal, but w/e
a111: Logged on 2017-12-27 17:14 phf:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-27#1759185 << i sometimes wonder if
there's some clever way
to link back split posts (i mean in cases where urls are lost, perhaps by looking at cases where 250 byte message, followed by same person within ~~<3s or somesuch)
jhvh1: asciilifeform:
The operation succeeded.

mircea_popescu: i dun
think anyone intellectually honest still holds any notion
that
the prb crew is in any way working
to fix or improve bitcoin.
