BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: machine of equivalent horsepower and physical dimensions costs around
a benjie, brand-new. << Not of identical appearance though. Still looking at that model specific colo niche
mircea_popescu: this, of course, because he is diagnosing one item at
a time
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: is this observation qntra-worthy? << If you want to write it up or just drop it as
a comment I have no reason to deny you that.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's nothing wrong with kid breaking up the shit in the house to make
a shitty lesser something
☟︎ BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> is that tonite ? Yeah but I dun have cable, refuse adobeFlasherast, and can't torrent
a livestream so must wait.
mircea_popescu: pity kids don't talk back more, you know ? "and you look like
a movie idiot to me. where's that leave us."
kakobrekla: if it looks like
a move bomb it must be real!
kakobrekla: “He said, ‘It looks like
a movie bomb to me.’”
kakobrekla: “I told them no, I was trying to make
a clock.”
kakobrekla: “They were like, ‘So you tried to make
a bomb?’” Ahmed said.
mircea_popescu: wife of "big daddy wanted me to become
a lawyer, I became
a lawyer. he said get married, I got married. he said have kids and i had kids and now he can't stand them. so he never loved me. fine! but I appeal to your common decency! gimme some money!"
mircea_popescu: "
a unique celebration of life with honor and dignity. "
assbot: Logged on 19-10-2014 03:19:21; asciilifeform: main danger, as i understand, is that their combustion will: create
a visible plume of smoke. or, the ultimate catastrophe, 'auschwitzy' smell.
mircea_popescu: <phf> talking about it or presenting second hand revelations as some sort of ultimate truth completely contradicts the original intent. <<< it is altogether dubious any original intent even exists, or that "intent" as
a category is at all adequate to discuss the matter. perhaps
a decent approach towards what "existential" sanely means in the context is provided by the "causes not purposes" dichotomy. there is no inten
mircea_popescu: te ever was before. ie, incompetent, superficial,
a sort of "cosmo does state dept".)
mircea_popescu: (i also do not hold the view that indians EVER made scholarly anything. nor do i believe people like bharara or the raj schmuck recently mentioned are part of the western tradition, in spite of doing
a passible job of masquerading it. the DA's office with bharara in it simple ceased to be much akin to the US DA and more like
a fetid indian "institution", just like state with rice was more like state hence than like sta
mircea_popescu feels compelled to point out re phf's worthy evaluation of topic that
a significant part of eliade's said evaluation was drilling
a local dude's daughter.
ag3nt_zer0: no offense but I actually think one would have to explore him
a bit more than less than
a chapter to really offer up
a viable criticism... but maybe that's just because I don't know what you have read and so do not know by what criteria you judge something as true or not true (some people hear voices, others echoes of dead philosophers)... at any rate thanks for taking the time to look and for sharing your thoughts at all
ag3nt_zer0: phf: are you just referring to that east vs. west chapter? I ask because though he explores eastern esoterism he was actually
a practicing sufi
phf: another point i'll make before checking in for the night, is that eastern mystical tradition is experiential,
a lot of ideas of the nature of ultimate reality and such are not even worth contemplating until you go through whatever the lineage prescribes, meditation, purification practices, breathing exercises, physical exercises, that are supposed to bring you towards understanding of ultimate reality. talking about it or presenting second
phf: the assumption that there's any kind of unity to eastern sacred thought is by the way theosophical in nature, where's you have
a bajilion of lineages all with their own takes on what's true
ag3nt_zer0: and 2) what would be the correct understanding that contradicts his greater metaphysical points about ultimate reality and what constitutes an authentic revealed tradition or not... what do you mean by the locals? and would not Ananda Coomaraswamy, geunons contemporary and equal in many ways but with
a mind turned toward the art of the east and west be
a counter to that?
ag3nt_zer0: phf: interesting. becauseas I understand it guenon used to travel in the theosophist circles in france until he rejected them in favor of
a more rigorous "traditionalism" - he even wrote
a book about it - Theosophy: history of
a pseudo religion - I think it was called... so i guess it could be asserted that he was still "unconsciously" operating under some of their errors but 1) it seems odd to think that
a person with an
phf: ag3nt_zer0: i couldn't get past his west vs. east chapter, or slightly after. his understanding of eastern tradition is dodgy (i see same issue with evola by the way), since he exists in the time after theosophists's liberal translations of sacred texts, but before people like mircea eliade or theos bernard had
a chance to verify with the locals whether or the understanding was correct. (and long before easterners themselves started making
mircea_popescu: but anyway, got
a meeting now, will be back later we can drink this issue under the table.
mircea_popescu: because that's what always crawls out of woman :
a barely aggregated pile of shit.
mircea_popescu: phf tito was, like stalin was, originally,
a hood rat.
mircea_popescu: <ascii_field> and comparing the equivalent of shooting yourself in the head to cleaning
a car is disingenuous, at least. << it is. meanwhile it't can't possibly be ingenious, because what goes on in man's mind is incomprehensible. be it bullet or whatever else.
jurov: "In cases where keys or seeds are created without the use of software (e.g. dice,
a deck of cards, or other non-digital source of entropy), the creation methodology should be validated to ensure determinism is not present (i.e. there are no weighted dice, each card in the deck is unique, etc.)."
jurov: "Digital signatures must use
a ‘k’ value that is never repeated. This can be accomplished through the use of
a deterministic random bit generator (DRBG) that is compliant with NIST SP 800-90A, or
a deterministic scheme compatible with RFC 6979."
jurov: danielpbarron might have
a say about protection of backups from God's wrath?
thestringpuller: i didn't put that Buterin's crew is who runs C4. Seems like
a scam for
a piece of paper worth less than today's MIT degree.
shinohai: "Why would he contribute to your thing ? This nonsense is roughly equivalent to child playing with toy truck, telling some truckers "hey, if you see
a problem with my toy truck, why don't you come and fix it!".
trinque: ag3nt_zer0: do it; assemble the #b-
a bookshelf
phf: ascii_field: the way i see mp's point is that tito, capone and random schmuck all have same options. random schmuck is that way for never acting on those options. capone is
a schmuck for only sometimes not acting on his options. etc.
thestringpuller: it's an extremely profound from
a technical stand point, but it's not as philosophically compelling
thestringpuller: cause salivial has that "remix" of pushit which uses those mandela pads you hear
a lot in lateralus
thestringpuller: ag3nt_zer0: yea you get
a better feel for aenema's records if you listen to the live album. forget what ti's called Salivial?
ag3nt_zer0: they are apparantly getting close to release of
a new one
thestringpuller: Adam Jones the guitarist used to work as an animator for stuff like Jurassic Park ( he actually has
a credit in Jurassic Park since he worked on that prod before quitting to do Tool full time )
thestringpuller: I think Lateralus is
a more philosophically compelling album, but Aenema is better received.
phf: what i was trying to say re capone vs tito, is that capone was
a hood rat, with the operational scope of village vs village, for him fbi involvement was perhaps the leviathan. where's tito was successful tactician and strategist in war and later
a national leader. i suspect that allowed him to operate on the sufficiently high level to resist governmental intervention on equal terms
ascii_field: and comparing the equivalent of shooting yourself in the head to cleaning
a car is disingenuous, at least.
phf: i don't know anything about mafioso in america beyond disnified, "you gonna like this guy, he's all right, he's
a good fella", so i would believe about capone. but then he was
a brooklyn hood rad, where's tito was
a man
assbot: Fuck! I just send all my ether to
a new contract instead of to my brain wallet. Is there any way to reclaim it? : ethereum ... (

shinohai: ^ comcast takes
a week to come out when mine is down xD
mircea_popescu: phf capone was
a dollop tho. stalin didn't get tito, tax evasion or no tax evasion.
ascii_field: 'may as well hang for
a sheep as for
a lamb'
ascii_field: but nobody's running
a useful node out of that.
ascii_field: my hovel came with not one but two sat dishes, one of them being
a 2-way, believe or not. (russian fella used to live here)
shinohai: Comcast has the evil all-in-ones that use your modem as
a AP
mircea_popescu: i thought they got
a monopoly. how else would you do it ?
ascii_field: if they are trying to upsell me, doing
a pretty poor job
ascii_field: BingoBoingo: i am
a serf and can go nowhere.
ascii_field: BingoBoingo: this doesn't do me
a lick of good.
BingoBoingo: <ascii_field> ^ verizon co. << Municipal fiber means knowing whose doorstep you could elect to take
a shit on

shinohai: I almost got that whittled down to
a science with genkernel nau trinque
trinque: it may also be pointed at
a stage3 which is no longer available. They delete the old ones rather rapidly.
trinque: I can modify it for you if you'd like it to write to
a block device; it requires changing
a variable at the top and altering the lilo config
trinque: mircea_popescu: I briefly began explaining what
a port is, then gave up.
ascii_field: 25 was
a desperate spamcontrol measure in the late '90s
mircea_popescu: trinque> I was amazed to find I was not allowed to have an open port 25 on comcast residential. <<< i'm amazed at the notion of
a "not allowed" port in general.
ascii_field: i suspect that 8333 is considered
a 'funny' port
ascii_field: shinohai: they also switched my ip (it happens 2-3x
a year)
mircea_popescu: if every person on earth wrote just 50 lines of code, which is
a very small number of lines of code to write for the progress world etc,
