ascii_field: as a remora
mircea_popescu: what, a symbol for the unthinking fat ?
ascii_field: jwz has a very long history of being what he is.
assbot: 9 results for 'jwz' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=jwz
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i am not actually profit motivated. i don't see catching her karpeles as a business, and i am not interested in doing it for a profit.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: what i meant was that i predict btc extraction to become a standard part of execution
mircea_popescu: this is a country whose president had a prosecutor assasinated earlier this year.
ascii_field: though iirc this was a graffiti by the reds ?
mircea_popescu: the fact that the fat have neglected it doesn't change it. you can similarly neglect to change the oil in your car, this doesn't make the car oil changes "a thing of the past"
ascii_field recalls the b-a jail from voyage. it was a very old-fashioned, respectable-looking thing, at least by soviet standards. i'd not be ashamed to sit in it.
mircea_popescu: <ascii_field> 'self-limiting' government is the ultimate joke << the only limit on government is terrorism. the us has it spelled out in the constitution, "since the only limit to government is a well armed, well organized group of domestic terrorists, people should bear arms"
mircea_popescu: there is no such thing as a "local state" however.
mircea_popescu: public servant, lower ranks. he lives in a closet.
ascii_field: well idk, but is lawsky living in a sewage pipe? or a house 50x the size of my hovel, with 'sleep ad libitum' ?
mircea_popescu: it already made a victim
ascii_field: at the low end of things, we can at the very least expect an uptick in popularity of sleeping with a frag grenade under your pillow.
ascii_field: trigger tied to a vital signs monitor
trinque: ascii_field: I see the point; if a fighter jet is not just itself but the entire apparatus which sustains its operation, all the more a space ship/station
ascii_field: who went around in a motorcycle with a sidecar containing hbomb
assbot: Logged on 07-04-2015 00:10:01; mircea_popescu: just like having a car doesn't alow having gasoline. it's true that often people who have cars also independently have gasoline, but the two are fundamentally unrelated, and there is such a thing as the fool's breakdown, ie, car's outta gas on the side of hte road.
trinque will always fantasize about heading a couple million miles any which way
ascii_field: decimation: again i have not seen this film, but it appears to have the usual nonsensical proviso that the 'space station' is a physical place which the plebes might hope to overrun and devour
decimation: yeah. Steve Sailer thinks that Neill Blomkamp is pushing 'reactionary' plots into his movies, but dressing them up in such a way as to make them palatable to liber-tards
trinque: the thing which sways my expectations away from such things is the seeming inevitability of a financial collapse
ascii_field: but it's a rather obvious idea imho
assbot: Logged on 24-06-2015 17:28:42; ascii_field: it will be replaced - question of ~when~, not ~if~ - by something like an oubliette with a vending machine
decimation: (20) For a trivial offence, a free man shall be fined only in proportion to the degree of his offence, and for a serious offence correspondingly, but not so heavily as to deprive him of his livelihood. In the same way, a merchant shall be spared his merchandise, and a husbandman the implements of his husbandry, if they fall upon the mercy of a royal court. None of these fines shall be imposed except by the assessment on oath of reputa
ascii_field: where 'if he locked it in a safe, u.s. marshals may break the safe. if he locked it in his brain, same'
ascii_field: decimation: aha. what i was getting at is that there will be, in the near future, a very entertaining verdict somewhere,
assbot: Why the 'devious defecator' case is a landmark for US genetic-privacy law : Nature News & Comment ... ( http://bit.ly/1GxRVp3 )
punkman: http://www.nature.com/news/why-the-devious-defecator-case-is-a-landmark-for-us-genetic-privacy-law-1.17857
ascii_field: the 'not-a-real-journalist-so-forced-to-reveal-sources' case ('iphone 4' case, iirc) pretty much established precedent that 'inquest isn't punishment' iirc
ascii_field: the total confiscation thing pretty clearly wants to lay a foundation for 'condemned to cokemachine'
ascii_field: 3rd ran medical experiments on a few thousand prisoners, 4th - on 300+ million schmucks
ascii_field: (after all, 3rd 'died young and left a decent-looking corpse' - at least will be seen to have, in contrast!)
decimation: the newest gcc might come with a newer version of the std c++ libs
ascii_field: decimation: it's a farm for just about any kind of talent
decimation: re: football < it's also the case that professional us football uses the college teams as a 'farm system' for talent development, at taxpayer expense
mircea_popescu: seems that's a different error and no solution was proffered
ascii_field: mod6: dpaste a copy of your net.cpp
ascii_field: thinking that mod6 will roll them up into a 'static fix' patch
mod6: ok, i'll give that a shot here quick.
assbot: Logged on 26-06-2015 15:22:38; pete_dushenski: i figure that with all the traffic that the contravex '$20 node' article is receiving of late that it's time to update it with a proper install of 0.5.4
mod6: <+mod6> ascii_field: here's a sample hello-world with pthreads: http://dpaste.com/29G0ZT0.txt
mod6: ascii_field: here's a sample hello-world with pthreads: http://dpaste.com/29G0ZT0.txt
mircea_popescu: must be a pretty fun, exciting and fun vacation for the jwz's in question.
mircea_popescu: "we put a walnut shell in the way!"
mircea_popescu: " She said she is staying about a mile from the main attack scene, but visitors there still took precautions by putting mattresses up against the door to slow any gunmen who might try to barge in."
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Daesh | Sep 24, 2014 ... Fabius argued that since IS is not Islamic and absolutely not a state, he said "... the Arabs call it Daesh..." (from Arabic "to tread upon", ...
mircea_popescu: by not giving a shit.
chetty: and maybe a little nsa arm twisting
chetty: being on the court surely seems to poison a lot
decimation: he was a reagan appointee
decimation: she probably would have made better decisions, not giving much of a fuck about gov't interest
decimation: "Rights, we are told, can ?rise . . . from a better informed understanding of how constitutional imperatives define a liberty that remains urgent in our own era.?24 (Huh? How can a better informed under- standing of how constitutional imperatives [whatever that means] define [whatever that means] an urgent liberty [never mind], give birth to a right?) "
mircea_popescu: i have no idea what the man would say, and i haven't asked him because i don't give a flying fuck what he thinks
decimation: actually I think it would be interesting if a state said 'fuck you, we ain't havin gay marriage'
decimation: "With each decision of ours that takes from the People a question properly left to them?with each decision that is unabash- edly based not on law, but on the ?reasoned judgment? of a bare majority of this Court?we move one step closer to being reminded of our impotence."
decimation: it's a good point
decimation: "So it is not of special importance to me what the law says about mar- riage. It is of overwhelming importance, however, who it is that rules me. Today?s decree says that my Ruler, and the Ruler of 320 million Americans coast-to-coast, is a majority of the nine lawyers on the Supreme Court."
mircea_popescu: the "kernel" only makes sense as a concept if multiple things are being run. if you can fully specify all the code that will run on the machine, that set of all the code IS the kernel.
assbot: Supreme Court rules gay couples nationwide have a right to marry - The Washington Post ... ( http://bit.ly/1IhWo3R )
mircea_popescu: on the other hand, bitcoin on pogo seems destined to end up melded in the kernel anyway, so this is just a sooner/higher up the tree merge than we expected.
mod6: You'd think a linker should be able to produce a statically linked binary, weather itself is dynamcially built or statically built.
mircea_popescu: in any other case this would be a bulbously ugly hack, but here, it actually changes nothing
mod6: I wouldn't have thought that we'd have to include a statically built linker...
mod6: so a shared lib would be able to modfiy/change the addresses as needed to where the lib is loaded into memory.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> what's -fPic anyway << position independant coe: Generated machine code is not dependant on located at a specific memory address to work. for example in the asm a jump can be to relitive address [ jne CURRENT+10 ] as opposed to say [ jne 0xDEADBEEF ]
ben_vulpes: unrelatedly, july looks to be a banner month
mircea_popescu: seems to have been a "for free" acquisition, "just pay us our salaries"
mod6: anyway, will check back into that in a bit... maybe i did something weird. but i'm pretty sure it was the correct order.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> mod6 perhaps something as banal as turning off BUILD_SHARED_LIBS in cmake ? on the grounds that these libraries won't be shared anyway ? << yeah, worth a shot.
mod6: <+pete_dushenski> i figure that with all the traffic that the contravex '$20 node' article is receiving of late that it's time to update it with a proper install of 0.5.4 << We're not there yet.
mod6: There will be an update at somepoint once patches are ratified and a new milestone rolled.
mod6: <+pete_dushenski> mod6: have you posted a foundation 'guide' since 0.0.5 that i'm not seeing on the mailing list ? << nope. that version should cover everything up through the v0.5.3.1 release.
pete_dushenski: i figure that with all the traffic that the contravex '$20 node' article is receiving of late that it's time to update it with a proper install of 0.5.4 ☟︎
pete_dushenski: mod6: have you posted a foundation 'guide' since 0.0.5 that i'm not seeing on the mailing list ?
mircea_popescu: have you ever tried putting the actual uclibc source in there and trying a full bore static ?
mircea_popescu: mod6 granted i'm rusty, but why are you making a shared object ?
asciilifeform: (because we know that it does. threading is used in a number of proggies which come with 'buildroot')
asciilifeform: mod6: have you tried building a minimal 'hello world' with pthreads under uclibc ?
mod6: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-gentoo-linux-uclibc/4.8.4/../../../../x86_64-gentoo-linux-uclibc/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-gentoo-linux-uclibc/4.8.4/../../../libc.a(jmp-unwind.os): relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against undefined symbol `__GI___pthread_cleanup_upto' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that's a mighty fast sync.
asciilifeform: mod6: if you have time, consider putting up a second copy of this, but loaded with the 'bleeding' version
mod6: asciilifeform: ahh. ok well take a look at this: http://thebitcoin.foundation/doxygen/v0_5_3_1/index.html
asciilifeform: so that thing may well stay up for a while, and no one ought to be surprised that it features a now-defunct chumpatron
mircea_popescu: doxygen's a standard pretty much
asciilifeform: re: the umd wankatron: i will add a potentially interesting detail:
asciilifeform: replaced with 'pet' (who, yes, may have pulled a borgia on poor old master. but quietly)
asciilifeform: yezhov's was a complicated matter. in the sense that he wasn't 100% 'pet', showed signs of being willing and able to bite stalin. so had to go.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if memory serves, rarely has there been a more effectual bureaucrat than yezhov
mircea_popescu: this is a fact. it's to be used, to hurt THE PEOPLE involved.
asciilifeform: not trying to frame this as a calamity, but as a force of nature
mircea_popescu: more imporantly : every bureaucrat, no matter how low ranking, has an identical bureaucrat clone ready to take over, revving in a corner.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the only reason the usg-tronic 'department of fucking with bitcoin' is even theoretically of interest is that the machine isn't perfect. has some rust, sand in gears (as discussed, e.g., yesterday, re: mempool etc.) in effect there is a $maxint bounty by hitler for anyone who can demonstrably amplify the hiccups.
mircea_popescu: looky, there's very little point in constantly rehashing this particular form of learned helplessness thing you got going. i don't work that way, i never worked that way, it doesn't in any sense work. it can be a quaint curiosity if you wish, a peculiarity of a peculiar gentleman if oyu must. it can never be more than that and it can never have any impact or meaning in the world.
asciilifeform: the thing's a rogue's gallery of buterin, the 'ripple' folks, a 'law prof' devoted to digging up precedent for 'regulating cryptocurrency', etc.
assbot: On the Elaine Shi and Andrew Miller scam ring on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1RD0oMJ )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2015/on-the-elaine-shi-and-andrew-miller-scam-ring/#comment-114627 << what line did they cross? if you read the guest speaker list linked a few lines back, it becomes clear that they are doing the will of His Reptilian Majesty
mircea_popescu: "o, parents should tell their kids all about how a) they're smarter than kant and b) really, it was god not this evolution bs,"
