mircea_popescu: <mthreat> search is down because linode is rebooting due to
a Xen security thing <
BingoBoingo: ;;google Until then, I’d only heard of “alcohol showers.” Turns out 70% isopropyl alcohol is about the only thing that can even touch
a scent like that once its soaked into your skin. It takes four or five bottles to get really clean, but it’s worth it. It’s probably the only scenario I can honestly endorse drinking
a little of it, too.
mircea_popescu: but, in the interest of postmodernism, the kernel should have
a futher /u/bias/ which should contain bits describing the bias-ness of the /u/rand
mircea_popescu: the source talking about bias is not
a legitimate debiasing approach.
ben_vulpes: hey y'all want to hear
a funny article title?
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: which is the article in which you discuss what
a "supermarket" is?
mircea_popescu: derpy "social worker" just gave himself
a monopoly. he is needed, don;'t you know, because parents aren't "political proxies" for their children. heck, parents don't exist at all.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Tis
a new site. The biological limits part involves US Law enforcement and clearnet markets they seem to like vs dislike.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Actually right now I'm working on
a qntra piece on biological limits. originally targeted it for end of the month, but should be out by end of the week

a wouldn't
a 250 GHz chip cooled by having
a small jet engine intake pull away the hot air be cool?
BingoBoingo: Randiant heat from the engine also
a hazard.
BingoBoingo: I mean an oil cooling system that burn the oil (Jet
A only)
BingoBoingo: Also
a wouldn't
a 250 GHz chip cooled by having
a small jet engine intake pull away the hot air be cool?
☟︎ BingoBoingo: But if air heats faster, there's gotta be
a limit before you bring in the noise to bend air to your will
BingoBoingo: Sure, but if the monster wants to idle at 300C you need moar than
a heatsink. I'm disappointed there aren't many if any new chips like this
BingoBoingo: Sure one can quietly cool even
a great machine.
BingoBoingo: And further in the future quality slut breeders get
a place in orbit without the good view.
BingoBoingo: St Louis tried the city on
a hill thing and only got Ferguson and
a bunch of outlying areas that flood from time to time
phf: mircea_popescu: well, yes, in the above narrative it's
a summer house, you go there if you want to be alone and study migration patterns of some quirky local species, which is your hobby. all the action is in the orbit
BingoBoingo: Of course. Good people though only keep
a townhouse in the city
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> no sane people wanted to live in the plain, for all of history, until machinery. << On
a hill by
a river or coast has always been and forever will be ideal on earth
mircea_popescu: it's prohibitively expensive and also nonsensical to land
a spaceship. and so...
mircea_popescu: IF spaceships ever become
a thing, then therefore surface living will be sort-of like mountain living today.
BingoBoingo: But endangered computing equipment, might be
a niche market
BingoBoingo: Well that and carrying the payload the comfort only
a reliable yet non-descript family sedan can provide.
assbot: Logged on 20-10-2015 23:50:06; mircea_popescu: If you agree with this, then you have to also face the fact that Wolf didn't consciously plan, "no matter what happens in this interview, I'm going to cover it up"-- it was
a reflex, an instinct. Get
a drink, think about this:
a reporter's instinct wasn't to go for the truth, but to go with the scripted story.
phf: well, it's fraction of
a size
phf: asciilifeform: well twenex was selling
a handful of ivory's for ~5000k, so
a 3620 with it's power requirements and refrigerator size will be some fraction of that
BingoBoingo: <phf> assuming it's in DC << Awe, I though I would get
a chance to open Bingo's courier service.
mircea_popescu: I think Rita Owens meant the statement "more Caucasian men stepping up" as
a jab at blacks to get them movitated, but if it is factually accurate then these Caucasians are idiots. Really? Big Brothers? That's the call you heard? Whites seem particularly prone to manic devotions to faddish volunteerism inspired by celebrity that are transparently self-aggrandizing. And temporary-- they inevitably quit when the nex
mircea_popescu: well he didn't invent it, he still made it. if you got
a fish in
a fishtank and it makes
a poop, it didn't make that poop ?
pete_dushenski: aite, i'm off to go bang my head against pergolesi's magnificat. such
a bitch, this thing. later !
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Gotta resubmit. Last night means there's about 3/4 of
a MB of fresh spam to dig through
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu qatar is 'not exactly pakistan' for as long as it can fend off isis. so what,
a few years ?
a decade ?
shinohai: Any other kid with half
a brain would have written
a cool clock script in python and showed his teacher.
shinohai: Also, mircea_popescu added
a new term to my vocabulary: clocktard
mircea_popescu: of course, qatar is
a reasonably rich, aspirational sort of arab world
mircea_popescu: and this isn't that far fetched, either : us is just about due for
a dead president.
mircea_popescu: ahaha. if "meets obama" clocktard comes back
a decade later onboard
a plane that slams into the wh and kills the us president, i WILL write the "obama trained
a future terrorist" article.
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo can you check the qntra spam filter for
a comment of mine ? i think it got scarfed.
pete_dushenski: it used to be "omigerd
a decade is fo-ev-ah". gonna take some getting used to, this.
BingoBoingo: Hometown definitely had bike cops at least
a decade and
a half ago.
mircea_popescu: iting, she does not even acknowledge that he vomited. Is she heartless? No. She's flustered: her instinct is to preserve the show, like
a stage actress, keep the scene going no matter what else happens."
mircea_popescu: You may think that I'm too much with the rum or too hard on Wolf-- "he seems like such
a nice man" but it's not Wolf's fault. He's
a cog in the Matrix. The next day Meredith Vieira interviews the family live on the Today show. While the father is denying to her it was
a hoax, the boy suddenly says, "mom, I need
a cup" and vomits. Vierra's response to this is nothing. Forget about the implications of the boy's vom

☟︎ mircea_popescu: "What happened is that Wolf was in the middle of
a story some people suspected was
a hoax, but was still being reported as
a "thank god he was hiding in the garage" drama. So he tried to protect the story. He tried to pretend he missed the comment so that everyone could go on with the story as it was being told.
BingoBoingo: I actually saw
a Tesla here driving in backwater exurban town. Have no Idea why.
gribble: Error: "isitup" is not
a valid command.
phf: some part of car is replaced by
a 3d printed equivalent, there's stl models and tutorials on maker.tesla.com, details on how to print your own, spiffier version
assbot: Hey Edmonton Police Service, what part of private property don’t YOU understand? | Contravex:

BingoBoingo: Maximum cost for parts on plasti-saturn is ~$2000 for
a donor car in great condition
pete_dushenski: "oh you broke your screen/headlight ? that'll be 3/4 of the cost of
a new one."
BingoBoingo: I don't get how they can be happy with just
a 200 mile range before refilling
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo that's the mark of an actual car, as opposed to
a 'smartphone'
