mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel_p sounds like shit's looking up for you then!
gabriel_laddel_p: to finish that story, I was not even at this party, and don't to any of them + have started charging people to meet with me.
mircea_popescu: like in the old warez days.
kanzure: re: throwing out the crap, someone was working on 'compression' (since pdf is awful and highly redundant). he estimated the total data could be 10x reduced.
mircea_popescu: could trivially throw out a large chunk by applying methodical selection criteria. "fails to include its dataset, NUKED"
mircea_popescu: throw all the crap out, publish the rest as plain text/html.
asciilifeform: kanzure: why dontcha simply re-create the engine ?
mircea_popescu: i suppose this also could go on the list, other than the teixochips and microscope : depdfizing and SELECTING the decent papers in that pile.
kanzure: asciilifeform: the torrents are not mine; those are snapshots from either libgen or maybe scihub.
gabriel_laddel_p: mircea_popescu: nah. like 20-something. I don't talk to her or anything, but, again, people run into, ban, then discuss me at lenght
gabriel_laddel_p: he's unimportant, but a nice fellow & knows his place in the universe. just decent white people.
asciilifeform was about to ask 'she ain't named tanja lange...?' lol
kanzure: asciilifeform: there is a cache of all the papers. anything not cached is snarfed in real-time through ezproxy magic. yes.
gabriel_laddel_p: mircea_popescu: well, in this instance the (guy) in question thought I sounded important & invited me to come live for a bit. parents making dinner.
mircea_popescu can sorta follow the logic, "fuck it, no longer need legs now"
gabriel_laddel_p: which is why I have a place to stay & someone making me food right now.
mircea_popescu: oh ? and what do they say ?
trinque: folks are sometimes hesitant to pay you again after "lol fuck you bitch, got your money"
gabriel_laddel_p: that they all talk about me at "parties"
gabriel_laddel_p: it is so clearly and utterly obvious that I'm more important than, whatever, all of sf
gabriel_laddel_p: girl was not attractive enough for me to care, already been paid, the startup idea isn't even an idea
gabriel_laddel_p: "what we are doing today is more important than anything the rest of this supposed startup is going to do, period. go away" (to persons gf)
gabriel_laddel_p: & having been banned from the number of social circles etc etc I end up in strange positions all the time.
mircea_popescu: at your age that's traditional.
gabriel_laddel_p: mircea_popescu: agreed. I love eating, but my finances go from 0 to 1k back to 0... regularly
asciilifeform: hey mats did usg schutzstaffel corps teachya to set legs ? ☟︎
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: anyways, no intent to die for anyone. however also no intent to waste even a minute more of my life on stupid nonsense, ever.
mircea_popescu: yes well, next time you break anything see a doctor within the hour.
gabriel_laddel_p: I know nothing about medicine & defer to my betters.
mircea_popescu: i wonder if they still do the whole fracture setting class for soldiers these days. prolly not.
mircea_popescu: yes. there's no cranes delivered with the muscle/bone arrangement to auto-set failures.
gabriel_laddel_p: do they?
mircea_popescu: fractures have to be set, yo.
gabriel_laddel_p: (with, admittedly a broken leg that would take some time to heal, just like now)
mircea_popescu: the black knight always triumphs!
gabriel_laddel_p: err... the whole "almost died" thing is from the the doctors. they said this, I should have not just repeated it in logs.
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: not even slightly. personally, the whole "almost died" thing is from the doctors.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-31 02:27 gabriel_laddel_p: me: "fuck you, I'm going to climb a building & code atop it till sun comes up".
trinque: asciilifeform: so why didn't he come work for you then?
asciilifeform: young fellas want to kamikaze, die with honour for the emperor's cherry blossoms, wat.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-31 02:21 trinque: what substance was involved in this genius decision, to code while leg shattered?
a111: Logged on 2017-08-31 02:06 trinque: for example, I learn that a certain George HW Bush as state congressman worked against the straightening and lining with concrete of buffalo bayou!
mircea_popescu: maybe he comes back with trins, gives ben_vulpes a run for the crown.
mircea_popescu: o ya what happened to teh latvian.
mircea_popescu: about 100x more interesting i suspect. not that this means it's all that interesting.
mircea_popescu: o btw, anyone ever dug through that large sr collection ? i recall some people dlding it at some point.
mircea_popescu: then how could it be a torrent.
asciilifeform: it's moar of a phuctor than a usgdos cableleax.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-31 00:48 kanzure: you have something against libraries....? i mean other than all the librarians being spineless.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-31#1706974 << http://trilema.com/2014/how-to-deal-with-pseudoscience/ ie, yes, have something against "science" as practiced by 20 and 30 something english speaking payola powered retards. which yes, is ~all the whatever collection. ☝︎
asciilifeform: grabs it from the derps in real time
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it ain't a static blob of warez, there is l as i understand, a snarfer , proxytron, etc
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i thought the issue was access to said data, not how it was obtained.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-31#1706962 << back when i dumped the cables, i just put them on trilema. very downloadable by everyone. that's the correct approach. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-06-09 15:11 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-09#1667584 << it is not, and ain't going to be, i'm not especially interested in helping folx to 'embrace and extinguish' it. as far as i'm concerned, 100% of the output is verifiable with the bignum calculator of your choice (e.g. 'bc') and it is no concern of anybody's how it was obtained.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i suspect this is exactly the http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-09#1667701 item. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: wasn't it tashkent or something ? bishkek ?
mircea_popescu: srsly, dailystormer dorks running out of a vps, for all the "omg ddos" pretense...
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: alexandra of ru . wrote, as i understand, the snarfer and wareztron.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-31 00:43 kanzure: one of the problems is that there's not any high-quality seeders for any of the torrents.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-31#1706960 << nobody outside of tmsr has any servers do they. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, for a couple hours they were as far as anglophone alt-right was... Until we made great great again
a111: Logged on 2017-08-31 00:40 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: briefly revisiting http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-30#1706495 : i'm beginning to wonder if it was simply because of WHO asked. i can't really blame $chix for not relishing the prospect of kanzure et al riding her l337 w4r4z to stolen relevancy esr-style
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo check them out, doods think they're central ?
BingoBoingo: <gabriel_laddel_p> this is already day 2 or 3 no sleep. little food. totally ran out of energy << cocaine or which-amphetamine
mircea_popescu: something like that.
mircea_popescu: "what do you mean the battle of the bulge was done by 1945 ?! we will fight it next year! 1967!"
mircea_popescu: "tito said he wants you for the last battle!"
mircea_popescu: this ledgerx thing, very much reminiscent of crny's hand-made rifles.
mircea_popescu: a, may be worth trying. kusturica film, group of ww2 partisans spend all of tito's reign in a cellar.
mircea_popescu: someone's gotta bleed the mits.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless i'm not about to declare working for the shitpiles verboten. especially if the dood is smart enoughj to take his payment in cash.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i can see why his working for fiat lulzfest attempting to fight battle usg lost back in 2014 may not earn him any brownie points with you or trinque or anyone else
asciilifeform: d00d ain't doing it to make the rent, either.
asciilifeform: 'oh i was in the ss but made no gassing decisions'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform conceivably he's also not in a position to make decisions. recall http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-29#1704499 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: shinohai: "connections" : 5, << i think that's how many of the trb list are actually up atm

kanzure: i implemented that yes
a111: Logged on 2014-12-16 04:00 BingoBoingo: decimation: Well it is one of those BTC futures without any BTC delivery deals
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel_p: speaking of this, while you had your misadventure, various things happened re march to lispm, e.g.,

asciilifeform: i dun think belarus gives a damn re your unpaid traffic fines etc
gabriel_laddel_p: fwiw, the conversation went of the rails before that. guy is actually a moron who by complete luck was involved with google earth.
trinque: look man you don't go around hitting people with the dick you imagine you'll have someday
gabriel_laddel_p: me: "listen, that you even think a 'layout engine' is a thing means you have no future, period. conversation is over, stop wasting my time"
gabriel_laddel_p: "how does CLIM solve the problems of layout engines?"
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: actually, someone who works next to thiel day in day out got demo'd masamune. didn't get it.
gabriel_laddel_p: I'm sane and they're unilaterally morons. I'm not coy about it.
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel_p threw a pie in thiel's face?
asciilifeform: how'd that come about ?
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: nonono, like all the houses of people I know in the area
