gabriel_laddel: Spiffy! Thanks.
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: most of yer impurity is not the laevo- isomer but intermediate cruft
gabriel_laddel: Melting poing can't tell ISO from meth. MSM & other cuts can be acetone washed out.
mircea_popescu: can you program a neural network to open books ?
asciilifeform: i dun consider it sin to run away from grade school. but consider opening a book
mircea_popescu: after the guys even fucking answer.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform let's talk prices after.
mircea_popescu: digital particuarly good fit too, because usual problem with mirrors is "your head won't fit in F". but a ccd will.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-25#1743016 << ftr that's 13.2k usd at current exchange rate. for a box that 1) is about same as 1k usd opteron 2) other than cpu, is made of exactly same stuff ☝︎
mircea_popescu: next you're gonna tell me ai isn't quite here yet and quantum computers not right around the corner, not to mention no 3d printed guns.
mircea_popescu: i though usb nullifies lens aberration through the power of unicode.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo shoot 'em an email see if they can deliver ?
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-25#1742991 << i had and threw that specific one, it is rubbish ☝︎
fromloper: basically that, I'm following Elbrus' PR
mircea_popescu: fromloper what's your relation to the item ? "something i found on the internet" ? or ?
fromloper: hi everyone. I've heard that some people here are interested in Elbrus hardware, so I brought you this announcement: https://pp.userapi.com/c840421/v840421325/27721/jhAYzDMy5ms.jpg ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i take it back, apparently teh meth works.
a111: Logged on 2015-08-28 01:24 mircea_popescu: the people in life are people from movies,
gabriel_laddel: #! the people in real life are the people from movies not the people from real life
mircea_popescu: so you should be able to either filter meth by a succession of rapid wrist swipes or else shoot lasers out of your eyes.
mircea_popescu: alternatively, marie c glowed in the dark.
gabriel_laddel: Wait a minute. Pasteur separated racemates by hand -- so I should at least be able to tell "biker crank" (racemic meth) from "crystal" (d-meth)
mircea_popescu: in the movies.
mircea_popescu: trinque you're just being negative, people solve really difficult problems when they also strap a ticking timebomb to their ass all the time
trinque: this is gonna be a rock bottom story for the ages.
mircea_popescu: but we're talking cells here, or protein-stains.
gabriel_laddel: I'm curious about the utility of microscopes. Don't really care about meth purity too much.
gabriel_laddel: Anyone made use of these digital usb microscopes in any context & have thoughts?
gabriel_laddel: 1000x magnification seems unrealistic - that being said: if I crush some product, take hundreds of images of each sample & use them as input into a neural network along with a 1-10 (bunk-absolute fire) rating y'think it'll get trained to recognize the real deal? ☟︎
ben_vulpes: !!up gabriel_laddel are you going to say something or just keep opening and closing the browser tab
ben_vulpes: i'm doing this inside a chroot, so i think maybe something isn't mounted correctly? i've tried it both the way that mod6 suggested to me (-o bind /dev $chroot/dev) and the way the gentoo installation handbook says (mount --rbind /dev dev/)
mircea_popescu: how the fuck not ?!
ben_vulpes: with the old stage3, emerge-webrsync downloads what it wants (i think), but then barfs at the end with "Failed to validate a sane /dev ☟︎
ben_vulpes: what do i look like, some sort of terrorist
mircea_popescu: do you have unapproved random in the box, citizen ?
ben_vulpes: looks to be some python strange, using an older stage3 gives similar errors until i set the python profile to 2.7 ☟︎
ben_vulpes: here's a lolbow, emerge-webrsync barfs with a segfault on a nomultilib stage3 with "Fatal Python error: Failed to open /dev/urandom \n Segmentation fault"
BingoBoingo: Nah, it's the other dreamers
mircea_popescu: agrarian us ? whjat is this, a monsanto joek ?
BingoBoingo: "The urbanite will claim to be the true representative voice of America, but they are but a degenerated version of it. While we, the ruralites, are the true holders of our myriad cultures!" ... "Once we have achieved this strong base and brotherhood of agrarian identity, we can begin to push aspects of Agrarian Nationalism economically, socially, and politically."
BingoBoingo: More on the countdown to Pol Pot https://identitydixie.com/2017/11/24/crush-the-urbanite-agrarian-identity/
mod6: I've updated the trb-howto guide to include 'curl' in the list of required binaries / packages ; Thanks to whaack for pointing out the glaring omission there.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-24 15:03 diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-24#1742941 <- to my mind everything that is in there still stands as it is (assuming Qntra will be back soon); perhaps only on the study side but I'm not really sure it makes sense to give very precise items there anyway - who wants to study won't have problems finding what matters for TMSR at any given point anyway and who is not interested won't benefit from more specific items listed there
phf: the image generator though has to walk the whole history at once, requiring the same 0.3s at once
phf: that's the meaning of 500+, but it gets gradually expanded as you follow the pages, so the speed starts dropping. so the last page of mircea_popescu search (http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=mircea_popescu&page=512) takes 0.3s, which is maxint it takes to walk the whole history
phf: the search, btw, cheats. it walks enough history to produce enough entries for current page+5 more pages, so searching for something like mircea_popescu is super fast, because you get 500 entries in less messages
phf: (there can still be a linked separate endpoint that generates a standalone image, possibly at a lower coarseness, etc.)
phf: i think the only worthwhile optimization left to do is roll the image generation into search.. because right now i'm doing double work, once for the search and once for the image.
phf: kind of affects the nature of data, but still preserves the general shape
phf: right now the bucket is basically 2 days (i.e. 2*24*60*60)
phf: so the bucket is made by running truncate against a certain divisor on the message timestamp in seconds. so playing with divisor gives me more/less coarse buckets
mircea_popescu: pretty great new toy imo
phf: i dropped it to ~~.6s and i'm not messing with it any further. about .3s of that is the search, so image generation and building of histogram is another .3s
phf: ok, here's a more integrated PoC http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=from%3Amircea+god the image is being generated full scale, but then force by the browser to be 1000px wide. (fwiw, while still cheap, it is more expensive to resize it, than to spit out the whole thing)
phf: !#s test

deedbot: http://trilema.com/2017/trilema-maintenance/ << Trilema - #trilema maintenance
mircea_popescu: aaand for the record, the correct way to set the entry message is : "/msg chanserv set #trilema entrymsg To speak in #trilema you must be voiced" etc.
phf: am not going to start writing image encoders from scratch
mircea_popescu: so don't kill yourself over it ; if it knows no easy solution may be solved in x years, there's pressinger things.
mircea_popescu: by now we're far out on the edges of lisp-for-html-imagemagicks.
phf: i still want to try a couple of different image spitting libraries. this one is particularly expensive, nor does it support palette, so adding colors increased its size by two
mircea_popescu: there's also the problems of grinding, and on it goes.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-24 06:29 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i gotta nitpick, there is afaik no direct connection b/w meth and tooth decay. strictly in the temptation to 'hey i didnt sleep, why brush teeth..'
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-24#1742890 << there is, there is. metamphetamine overdrives half the metabolic mechanism, not just the parts you notice. ☝︎
gabriel_laddel: phf: the point being? Fwiw, I'm trying to forced march myself into some stable employment while crippled.
mircea_popescu: i suppose i have a coupla girls that have yoga mats...
phf: well, i'm try-en to make a point here, i only really have a yoga mat..
a111: Logged on 2017-11-24 06:08 phf: gabriel_laddel: i have a yoga mat, a strip of lsd, a supply of codeine and a medical insurance card; i don't question their usefulness, i just think it's important to be able to discriminate, so as to apply each one of them appropriately
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-24#1742862 << amusingly, i have none of those. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: yeah but you happy with that much cpu melt ? i mean, if you get a buncha concurrent searches...
phf: from beginning of log to present day
mircea_popescu: i was thinking they'd be horiz right under "x entries in y seconds"
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: There is still plenty to do. CLIM's COM-FOO machinery has to be cut & replaced with "functions most often called on / FTYPE matches this as a valid ARG"
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: what do you go to do, when 'kicks in' ? i thought your linux item, were done ?
gabriel_laddel: then -- BLAM. Tweaking. ☟︎
gabriel_laddel: Eg the other day it "didn't kick in", so I had another few mouthfuls of methwater, only to remember "oh fk, I have to have coffee or it won't work"
BingoBoingo: <gabriel_laddel> asciilifeform There is jaw clenching if you accidentally take too much << What accidentally and too much?
BingoBoingo: From what I understand the aggravating factor is vasoconstriction to the mucosa
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform There is jaw clenching if you accidentally take too much
asciilifeform: much of the physical pathology of meth and coke aficionados is from effect of eschewing sleep, rather than the actual substance
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: The connection is xerostymia, no salivary cleaning action goes on while meth'd
BingoBoingo: From my encouters with those how have ended their forced marches while still vertical, mid 4 figure bezzel bucks is standard... or dentures
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i gotta nitpick, there is afaik no direct connection b/w meth and tooth decay. strictly in the temptation to 'hey i didnt sleep, why brush teeth..' ☟︎
asciilifeform: legs aint the problem
BingoBoingo: Now gabriel_laddel you do know that your forced march medicine is going to increase you dental expenses, yes?
gabriel_laddel: BingoBoingo The INSTANT I have an option out, I'm gone.
asciilifeform: '... an experiment in creating a home built around purpose, intention, and exploration. We are 13 residents and we employ experimental, fluid use of space, sharing behaviors and the creation of new ways of being. Within our space we have short term guest spaces and during the day the space is used by writers, artists, hackers and film makers.'
gabriel_laddel: Nor have I forgotten $ELSE. Simply overestimated own ability / underestimated the complete idiocy of surrounding populace
phf: it might actually be cheaper to roll the operation into search, and then use an inline base64 img..
gabriel_laddel: While I'm here: At no point did I forget that I'd agreed to build the archiver - however I was banned from the place I'd arranged to host it on 3(!) separate occasions.
phf: i don't know what that is, please link to relevant materials
phf: these'll be disabled when i go to sleep in a few though
a111: Logged on 2016-11-30 23:38 asciilifeform: dopes that make the eater happier to do repetitive / dumb task, are death to programmer.

BingoBoingo: In other news: "Kenwanna Randolph, a 24-year-old woman from Chicago, was traveling northbound on Illinois Avenue approaching Mill Street when she reported not seeing the officer’s emergency lights or hearing the siren. The front of Randolph’s Ford Fiesta struck the passenger side of the police car, causing major damage to both vehicles, police said. "
a111: Logged on 2016-12-01 18:19 asciilifeform: but quite destructive to folx who are doing equivalent of ~planning~ the march
asciilifeform: the q invites itself -- forced march to ~where~
gabriel_laddel: Brånemark spent almost 30 years fighting the scientific community for acceptance of osseointegration as a viable treatment. In Sweden he was often openly ridiculed at scientific conferences.
