mircea_popescu: i am.
ag3nt_zer0: it doesn't have to... it was out of respect that I asked
ag3nt_zer0: again, I understand not having the time or patience as well...
ag3nt_zer0: mircea_popescu: but just becasue I do not consider it silly romanticism does not mean I could not be convinced if one were inclined to point out any inconsistencies in their thought... which is why I ask in this room... I suppose that if there were people able to help me peel back the layers a bit further, or demonstrate to me my own silly romantic tendencies that lead me to think most of this thought is "true", they migh
funkenstein_: speaking of the vein of paranoia mentioned by midnightmagic, I would love some help to evaluate this comment: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1105109.msg11765764#msg11765764
mircea_popescu: this entire construction is pretty fuckin spiffy if i do so myself.
mircea_popescu: in which line, i was recently shocked to realise my mother's retiring. when i met the woman she was young!
mircea_popescu: i suppose the problem here is that to the children of today the women are grandmothers, but to they that rolled them on all their sides in the hay they'll stay about 20.
ag3nt_zer0: no i guess not
midnightmagic: Yes, I know.
ag3nt_zer0: interesting - have never heard of Mirandola referred to as a core "traditionalist" writer - Guenon, Schuon, Evola, Burkhardt and others - but not Mirandola. From a nothing read I can see a similarity in their attempt to legitimize these modalities of thought but I read that his ideas were influential in renaissance humanism which guenon appears to be highly critical of... ?
midnightmagic: So? Opinion doesn't mean action; and it doesn't follow that I'd waste my time reporting, or even communicating with an inverted totalitarianist state, given the literal costs of doing so in terms of freedom and money.
assbot: Logged on 31-01-2015 02:02:19; midnightmagic: dude. seriously plotting or fomenting the physical murder of the USG is sedition, insurrection, and various related crimes and there's no fucking way I'm interested in being associated with it just because I'm lurking in here.
midnightmagic: I just read more than I comment is all.
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: yeah, I know. I refuse to the signal the in-tribe, and that seems to be giving him a reason to think I'm some kind of plant with an agenda. If he accepted the truth I think he'd calm down quite a bit, although at this point he'd probably never believe it.
assbot: Logged on 01-07-2015 05:58:05; ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: i dream of a world where the insurance to drive your own ass around is prohibitive for all but the ultra-rich
ag3nt_zer0: mircea_popescu: yes I read the log
mircea_popescu: i've since used them as switches, and broke them on ass. the parts i collected and since just about right thickenss, sharpened them
mircea_popescu: coupla monthgs ago i bought a couple of thin wooden sticks from an art store. impulse buy, i just happened to be next to them.
ag3nt_zer0: I don't know how
funkenstein_: incidentally, one of the lines I did was called "the nose"
mircea_popescu: i don't think so ?
mircea_popescu: i had ?
ag3nt_zer0: mircea_popescu: you had asked what the hell is the sophia perennis anyway... well, a core and concise exposition of it can be found in more than a few works - here is one that stands at 134 pages and I would really love to hear some thoughts on it if you get a chance to sit down with it... if for no other reason than I struggle to find "holes" in it... http://tohno-chan.com/ddl/src/Rene_Guenon_-_The_Crisis_of_the_Modern_W
funkenstein_: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=01-07-2015#1183410 <-- good work! Yosemite is amazing, I did some lines there years ago ☝︎
ascii_field: i like 'uber' more
assbot: Logged on 01-07-2015 05:52:58; mats: driver insisted i sit in front, fist bump him, and talk the whole trip
assbot: Logged on 01-07-2015 04:31:56; cazalla: tfw buying a deciduous tree in the winter and feel like i bought a stick for $20 lol (Hovenia dulcis if anyone cares as much)
trinque: sure, I'll accept inside-only
trinque: ag3nt_zer0: yeah, I do a bit of that around oregon
mod6: <+ascii_field> i barf from it daily << lol
trinque: but I'm sure I'll get to it
mircea_popescu: to quote sammy l, "that's no reality i ever heard of. they speak english in reality ?"
assbot: Logged on 01-07-2015 04:15:12; trinque: ah man, I'll be able to bolt one of these to my emdrive and colonize mars
trinque: I guess this girl thought babies were shat... or something
mircea_popescu: then the recess was over an' i told the gals all about it. was a very lulzy week.
mircea_popescu: "wut do you mean, i heard there's a little nubbin thing like a tip of a finger" "omfg get out of here 6/10 trolling"
trinque: reminds me of a chick I remember in high school telling me that she had no idea her pussy had a hole in it until *way* later than a healthy human being should
mircea_popescu: and the dude went like wtf am i on about, there's no such thing.
mircea_popescu: so then i asked him where's the little worm thing on the girl's snatch, upside or downside ?
mircea_popescu: i think my dinner had comparable fusion experience.
mircea_popescu: i could be back in school, listening to retarded 11yos describing their sexual experience in flamboyantly wrong detail.
ascii_field: and i have it on good authority that folks in the age where 'sherlock holmes' is set also laughed
mircea_popescu: i'm sitting here in the 80s romania laughing at 3d glasses. for fucks sake - FROSI, the communist german's youth magazine, sent me some very sturdy cardboard 3d glasses in one edition. was like 86 iirc.
mircea_popescu: will i live to be 90 and read all about "the very exciting technical development of 3d cinema", which apparently didn't fail convincingly enough the fiurst time jack warner trieds to beat television out of the amrket
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i was promised rotation! WHAT IS THIS SCAM
mircea_popescu: "i'm fat and should work out but the science involved in mean so 6/10" ?
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=01-07-2015#1182385 << i lolled, but "6/10 decent trolling but article is obviously rambling and unconvincing," ?? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=01-07-2015#1182371 << honestly, i don't think he likes you. ☝︎
ascii_field: every time i look at that thing.
ascii_field: i barf from it daily
mircea_popescu: i dunno dude, how the fuck should i know how people who use magic numbers pick the magic numbers to use./
decimation: I do agree that converting blkxxx to dirtree would be an improvement
decimation: I used one for 80806
mircea_popescu: in any case i regard the blkxxx scheme as a hare brained, buggy slow and stupid reimplementation of a filesystem in a kernel that's trying to be an app.
ascii_field: i have one here
mircea_popescu: maybe not msdos, but i think cp/m would actually suffice for everything involved.
ascii_field: it is what i wanted to do in the mythical msdos port
mircea_popescu: ascii_field eh. proceeding from the other direction : not only is the need for a bdb datastore directly indicative of allignment problems, but moreover its presence virtually guarantees them. so no, i don't think you can actually rely on "block after block" thing, but then again i can't be arsed to emacs a .dat
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=01-07-2015#1182356 << i could have sworn there's some weird padding in there ☝︎
mircea_popescu: (i also have strained variants, obviously - but of what interest are they)
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: the terminology 'orphan' is used in the source, hence why i referred to it
mircea_popescu: i think they're called "stale"
mircea_popescu: decimation i know, but this is a major server doing all sorts of other things. it could not stand for five minutes if that were the problem.
mircea_popescu: <jurov> otherwise either kernel stalls or pipe is congested(dropped packets, whatever) << i thought this may well be it previously, as load was uncharacteristically high for this application. but solved that problem and apparently no improvement.
mircea_popescu: but atm i don't even see stan's client connected.
mircea_popescu: i'd withdraw anything i had in that shithole by now, had i not withdrawn it long before, had i had anything in there in the first place.
decimation: probably would show I mean
ascii_field: i'm gonna guess the entire link between anywhere i can go without taking a plane, and mircea_popescu's box, is burpy on account of packets hitting tape before they get to me
decimation: I have experienced buffer bloat issues using a centos router
mircea_popescu: i guess.
ascii_field: ssh tunnel is what i suggested earlier aha
ascii_field: i suspect we have come to a 'chinese' point
mircea_popescu: ascii_field nuts. i tell you ... the load is < .2 and has not peaked above 1 (this is on 8 cpu machine). there is nothing deferred or anthing suspicious in the logs. the eth card is doing fine. two dozen connections, routinely hitting 1mbps. etc.
Jautenim: screw this -.- http://i.imgur.com/743Om34.png
decimation: as for mechanical drives the best info I can find is here https://www.backblaze.com/blog/best-hard-drive/
ascii_field: i tried to buy some
decimation: I do give a shit if none of the pogos have a coherent record of the blocks
decimation: yeah, but I don't give a shit if a pogo's code bit flips, probably will crash
ascii_field: decimation: i'm pretty certain that i experienced a bitflip last night
decimation: you know with these 'blockchain bitrates' I would be concerned about bitrot on disks
Jautenim: gah, I didn't check the new stator.sh
mircea_popescu: i am willing to take any odds on "he doesn't know this exists"
Jautenim: i'm sending a blank email with these three attachments: http://dpaste.com/1YPE04M http://dpaste.com/2XV9P7V http://dpaste.com/2DDHFF4
mircea_popescu: i think some implementations end up with different gaps between them or something.
mircea_popescu: i was doing like 5 things at once past coupla days and so ended up leaving all sorts of things unexplained fully.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: iirc i explained this last night
assbot: Logged on 01-07-2015 00:25:18; mod6: i have 3 full-sync'd chains from between January and March, all have the same blk0001.dat hash: sha256sum blk0001.dat \ 7aac5826b91b4f87a2e9534e0e38e8d64ed21aff8a4eb8ff8dde4e726e67fe1a blk0001.dat
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: put copy of same in another country, i'll compare.
mircea_popescu: as it is i have nfi what to do about it.
kakobrekla: i guess i can just put it on ba files server
ascii_field: and i've never had the slightest problem of the kind suggested above, with either
ascii_field: i'm sitting on a different, industrial isp, 100km away from home
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i can at this point guarantee to you it is not due to this machine.
mircea_popescu: i mean, there were occasional spikes in load in the previous incarnation, and i figured those may be it. but now it's smooth as butter.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: all i can say is that i'm seeing ~exactly~ same pattern as before
mircea_popescu: i've last used windows xp a decade ago to play might and magic.
mats: and on the subject of shock... i still can't get over the fact that Stuxnet happened
mircea_popescu: "i got a new girlfriend - she came with a built in boyfriend!"
mircea_popescu: i really don't get this "put all the things in all the things" nonsense.
