diana_coman: funnier still walking around with it; fwiw the text reads though as if it actually starts somewhere in the 4th paragraph
mircea_popescu: my girls tend to be as described in http://trilema.com/2017/tute/ ; very opposite of waifu.
asciilifeform: ffa series is as much a course in vtronics, as in arithmetics.
diana_coman: asciilifeform, fwiw I read it as in went through it line by line and with pencil and paper; ran it too at the end, played a bit around with tests and that; and since we are at this, nitpick: in FZ_Swap why T:=X if already initialised at declaration or what am I missing of Ada in there? ☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as far as i can see , linked turd is entirely 'hey let's try and make paper-btc the way we did paper-au' usg gambit
a111: Logged on 2015-08-15 15:31 asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-08-2015#1238595 << when boiling the proverbial frog, when it gets cooked enough you can just turn up the heat to whatever. srsly, they included a keylogger and admitted to it. why should they not also rape you in every other possible hole, and drill new ones as desired ?
asciilifeform: and given as it uses linuxbios (coreboot) exclusively ( there was in fact no turdware bios afaik ever released for'em at all ) it makes it inviting to stuff the kernel into rom
asciilifeform: ( pcengines apu1 is ~the~ x86 fiddling platform as it has the magic sage port )
BingoBoingo: Eh, there were some film credits there. The German girl was impressed by the credits, but did not look as good as the Brazilain girls. Maybe if the German girl was from 10-20 years ago she could compete against the locals and the Brazillians? Today, no.
BingoBoingo: I suspected as much when I made it to Montevideo instead of Guantanamo.
BingoBoingo: So, as I intensify the abogado search, are there any lord who would like to take on the responsibility of handling TBI responsibilities should something "nailgun" happen to El Gringo Bingo? mircea_popescu? shinohai? ben_vulpes? Anyone else in L1?
BingoBoingo: Customs when I arrived worked out as so: 1. See declarations paper work outside duty free shop exit in front of baggage claim 2. Fill out for for networking gear. 3. Wheel bags to customs gate around corner, holding paper in hand 4. Get waved through into Uruguay in name of speed
mircea_popescu: it's funny how idiocy secretes narrative as its natural metabolism. algae make oxygen and estlatrds make loose stories.
trinque: I dunno; I would've taken the comparison to Terry Davis as a compliment!
clambodile: I would describe myself as "a rando". I found this channel by chance, thought it seemed interesting.
asciilifeform: d00d is, as i understand, a 'pillar-of-the-komyoonity', i.e. full-time politruk.
asciilifeform: btw here's a phunphakt for ben_vulpes : ffa cannot be used as-is on ppc. ibm in infinite whizzdom made their mul instruction nonconstanttime.
asciilifeform: of course W_ZeroP only works the way it does because compilers are sad , in turn because people were idiots in 1970s and did not shoot the wreckers who so much as suggested to call a thing without overlow and zero flags, a cpu
mircea_popescu: THIS is what end-of-civilisation means : as you include more and more brownies and "their values" into society, you exclude more and more sense and welfare from the economy.
mircea_popescu: if you're wondering WHY the fuck would anyone buy singles, your mind is working correctly and you're on the way to explaining the mystery : imbecile orcmind DOES NOT PROVISION! DOES NOT MAINTENANCE! and generally has a very peculiar relartionship with the future, as discussed eg in http://trilema.com/2017/this-blog-is-now-about-bticino-and-other-coinsiderations/#footnote_0_75919 ; or http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-09#1735612 ☝︎

phf: also added gpr and adc to get colorized as ada ☟︎
mircea_popescu: the manson apocalypse goes as follows : 1. he makes a really happenin' record. 2. all the she-sluts of california swarm him. 3. all the black dudes who used to fuck these bunnies get really pissed off upon coming home and discovering the cumdumpster's ran off. 4. so pissed off they get, they riot and burn down some of the white man's shit.
mircea_popescu: in other news : if you run a piece of shit firefox on a dirty box somewhere, and if you never upgraded it as you don't intend to upgrade it ; and if the ever-creeping idiocy of the world puts you in this situaiton where various ssl-"protected" sites are no longer loading :
ben_vulpes: relatit: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-12-08/cohn-downplays-bitcoin-risks-as-white-house-eyes-evolving-market
mircea_popescu: "going to regulate" it, check that out, as if anyone asked the dumb sons of a whore anything.
mircea_popescu: ies (as perceived by themselves, which is to say, ''bitcoin problems'') through the SAME EXACT recipebook of nonsense.
mircea_popescu: ands in other lulz, every time there's a major usd devaluation event, a new crop of http://trilema.com/2013/the-story-of-pointless-and-witless/ "joins" in the sense of "flips a bit inside own head from self-importantly ''ignoring'' bitcoin to just as self-importantly ''being involved'' in bitcoin, as if either bit state or the act of flipping can possibly matter in any manner" and then set to "fixing" their manifest inadequac
BingoBoingo: ?me contemplating taking up leather craft as a hobby in ~1-3 years if still here and business goes well in a way that allows some time for hobbying
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: equally invisible as the 7 ?
asciilifeform: possibly the chix see themselves as candidates for perma-move, and evaluate under it.
asciilifeform: i read 'ukr chickie dun wanna costa rica' as 'import pet', possibly.
asciilifeform: otherwise -- habituation, addiction, 'luxury ratchet' as in the old mircea_popescu article re chix with caviar
asciilifeform: and dun see it as unreasonable.
mircea_popescu: the fucking definition of mild is "interval of five degrees centered on human ideal". as opposed to "SIXTY degrees intervals centered on fuck your mother, we hate you."
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: subjectively folx tend to 'feel' climate not as the avg. temps, but the extremes, i suspect
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i thought you meant "at standard pressure" ie as opposed to who knows what arcana you had in mind.
BingoBoingo: lol, Montevideo too hot as well?
mircea_popescu: i expect they want to turn as many of their cogs as possible with it. so yes, hired through manpower, mandatory-complimentary "id protection" from equifucks and so on.
BingoBoingo: effectively due to shittiness of moderation system). That is unless the news is Google is taking the contractors on as direct hires
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> "a maximum of impact with a minimum of effort" as far as the usg is concerned : trades in a worthless dead elephant for the continued attention of 10k useless schmucks it for some reason decided to put on the rolls. << From what I understand when Google hires the 10's of thousands in batches they do so through "Manpower" and other contract work agencies for nominally 12-15 usd/hr (usually less than $fedminwage
mircea_popescu: watching the conclave of imbeciles "resolve" their "problems" as they understand and formulate them is the highest form of entertainment available under the sun.
mircea_popescu: "a maximum of impact with a minimum of effort" as far as the usg is concerned : trades in a worthless dead elephant for the continued attention of 10k useless schmucks it for some reason decided to put on the rolls.
mircea_popescu: aaanyway. the word on this whole "usg as understood by pantsuit is powered by "technology" as understood by pantsuit" shebang being http://trilema.com/2016/files-from-the-war-on-the-web-today-literotica/#footnote_2_65745 ; leading to the whole http://trilema.com/2017/lets-revisit-the-google-is-irrelevant-discussion/ debacle.
BingoBoingo: In other withdrawls, valve/steam are quitting Bitcoin over their inability to bring value: "“At this point, it has become untenable to support Bitcoin as a payment option,” Valve concluded. “We may re-evaluate whether Bitcoin makes sense for us and for the Steam community at a later date.”"
cazalla: can't remember when i first dick on tv, but he's as old as maddox surely when it comes to the net
mircea_popescu: as long as fed can keep printing, they'll keep going to "moderation college" for a "moderator career".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, no. as the BUYER.
mircea_popescu: if you need someone to lend you money for socks as a 50yo male you really have no excuse to be here.
BingoBoingo: I am at this point very unsure if the Uruguayans view politics as anything other than an operations discussion on how to extract value from stupid Argentine spending.
mircea_popescu: the "feminist misery" as overrepresented in pantsuit media is mostly the result of urban californite reinterpretation of 1800s era boston puritanism. "if you're enjoyable you lose at life". makes for the obese, neurotic, deeplyh unhappy "queers" and whatnots.
mircea_popescu: but for the sake of historical record, the very traditional central european "you may not say no to a man ; and ESPECIALLY not sexually" lands, ie from south carolina south and west as far as maybe eastern arizona, provide slut protection, in that "and if you end up alone with three kids before you're 30 i won't hold that against you".
asciilifeform: not as if typical 1990s usainmate ever went on boat.
mircea_popescu: .7 attendants per passenger, "no means yes, of course" as company policy, and they feed you grapes manually.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-07#1748296 << i initially misread as 'had to break friendly gringo's face' ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i dunno how to break this to you, but "money" is here defined as > 1 gangster rolls.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-07 20:57 mircea_popescu: anyway, the pretense of argentina, in all fields, is nothing short of hysterical. they lose a sub, 100% through being TOTAL FUCKTARDS. they act as if adult country had some sort of problem ; as if people on it were qualified -- not to run a sub, but to run a dishwasher and so on.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-07 21:05 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-07#1748231 << don't tell me, usg-run "exchange" periodically "victim of own success", as usg imagines this to go.
ben_vulpes: pantsuits are on the case: ...[the judge] is under investigation over allegations of money laundering and illicit enrichment, with some critics suggesting that he may be targeting Fernandez's (sic?) as a smokescreen"
BingoBoingo: Anyways, right now I am being the friendliest gringo TMSR could retain as an ambassor. Leaning heavily on dumb gringo stereotype while calibrating listen and write heads to the local Castellano and screening potential contacts

BingoBoingo: As far as I can tell so far Uruguay lacks politics as understood by a middle western rube. Instead it has operations discusions concerning things like cleaning la playas.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the pretense of argentina, in all fields, is nothing short of hysterical. they lose a sub, 100% through being TOTAL FUCKTARDS. they act as if adult country had some sort of problem ; as if people on it were qualified -- not to run a sub, but to run a dishwasher and so on. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: iirc as a result of being president ever.
BingoBoingo: That is nearly as central as central gets, the border of Buceo y Pocitos
ate: asciilifeform Please excuse this noob, but I've been reading through your website over the past week or two. Creating a sane computing environment has been an interest of mine for a while, and most of my effots have been following the work of Alan Kay. Eventually, as I believe you have, I learned about the beautiful Lisp Machines, and am very interested in working to create modern versions.
asciilifeform: the prognosis is, as i understand, similar.
BingoBoingo: Not in arse, in suitcase. You declare the art as art worth ? and package it to match ?
asciilifeform: meanwhile shitfinex : 'Over the last few days, we were hit by a mixture of huge real customer demand for deposits & withdrawals, at the same time as we experienced ddos in the form of malicious microdeposits and withdrawals (a heavily funded attack).

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> if you declare e.g. 50k , you might leave, but it will be documented, and exactly same thing as doing bank wire, with none of the up-side << if you leave at all, documented
asciilifeform: if you declare e.g. 50k , you might leave, but it will be documented, and exactly same thing as doing bank wire, with none of the up-side
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, ah, in general it will be, yes; this is quite particular as it is a rather big block of not-totally-sane code that is imported basically
mircea_popescu: diana_coman i don't mean re this, necessarily. mpi as an import is one thing
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, they could, there's no question there; but they are text as it is, not sure what the big gain is (and it would end up in a very long thing)
asciilifeform: ( unix diff pointedly does not, interprets it as vanishment-into and reappearance-from thin air )
asciilifeform: programmers see kindness as weakness, diana_coman . borrow a spiked bat from mircea_popescu , it will work wonders.
mircea_popescu: as one man said to another once, "if the design impedes you, this will be no problem, as we'll fucking make a new design"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu, diana_coman if every single patch you release is a genesis ( i.e. previously existing items are lifted with paste ) then you may as well simply publish signed tarballs, you are not actually using v
asciilifeform: and that you are now responsible for as if you had written it.
asciilifeform: where the linkage was ~not~ mechanically clear, because it appeared merely as a set of external symbols inside trb, rather than a proper lift of the files
asciilifeform: when drawn in phf's viewer, this will appear as a graph with two genesisen. which mircea_popescu seems to have allergy for, for some reason. but there is nothing outrageous mechanically about it.
asciilifeform: the other is to preserve the two lineages as separate, but to link your item against e.g. mpi.a , and to insert the latter's hash into your vtree, to proclaim the linkage -- as i did with the binariola schematic jpegs in FG genesis.
asciilifeform: there are fundamentally 2 ways to go about using a vtronic item as a component in another. one is to subsume it into your own
diana_coman: is there some documented process re how to create with V basically a new project that will contain as *internal* components derivations of existing projects? for example: eucrypt will have inside an mpi component; as seen earlier, I can patch mpi directly, but then how do I include the result in a higher structure? can I even do it while preserving the links? (I guess it would mean that resulting project has effectively 2 roots: one the ge
asciilifeform: for so long as you only want items worth pennies, neh
mircea_popescu: you keep thinking in these fiat-anchored terms, as fucking if that's how it worked.
mircea_popescu: as far as wot is concerned, exactly like you say, div0, what the fuck do we care. we knew they're worthless going in.
mircea_popescu: as far as the puppy is concerned -- deeper bow.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well, as far as the stater is concerned, yes.
mircea_popescu: IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BITCOIN. the "bitcoin price" is a statement of the worthless herd as to its own perceived worthlessness. bitcoin dun enter into it.
asciilifeform: it can work as a humiliator, just as electron can carry out useful work; but just as we do not reference electron's exact position , it is mistake to reference 'worth of bitcoin'
asciilifeform: whether it works as a humiliator, or spiked club, or tension wrench, is orthogonal question
mircea_popescu: "exchange rate" dun enter into this. think of it as a petition on change.org signed by everyone in the herd.
asciilifeform: exchange-rate-as-scalar is as serious a misconception as battery-voltage-as-scalar .
mircea_popescu: the lazy stupid poor "people themselves" banded together to produce a joint report as to how worthless they think everything about them is, in bitcoin terms.
mircea_popescu: consider it this way : the lazy dumb fat women banded together to produce a joint report as to what they think things should be like. they call it "jezbel" or w/e. it keeps changing.
diana_coman: the normal normality as opposed to abnormal normality or what
mircea_popescu: is fatso's retirement consist of community service in the shape of poorly worded communique's led in by TOKYO (AP) ? because this idiocy smacks very much of same source as item discussed in say http://trilema.com/2013/its-been-an-epic-few-days-what-happened/
diana_coman: will try without that readme file change anyway as that's more of an artefact of having run make clean (which deleted it too)
