mircea_popescu: refreshing, at that.
asciilifeform: srsly?! must be 1st d00d ever to walk in, who did not.
asciilifeform: i expected you knew this.
kanzure: is this yours. it says mpex.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-29 00:48 mircea_popescu: the republic fabricates its own hardware, building towards a complete stack. not to mention its own software, idem.
mircea_popescu: yeah, totally another castle.
asciilifeform: ( somewhere, in another castle, there languishes a DREAMLOSER )
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what diff does that make. still the same dumbass FLUXBABBIT!!!11 nonsense
a111: Logged on 2017-06-06 18:15 BingoBoingo: So the politics of "Reality Winner" is a bottomless lulz spiral.
mircea_popescu: yes! ty!
asciilifeform: ( i print'em on old clunker that definitely has them dotz )
kanzure: pdfparanoia strips the "YOUR IP ADDRESS IS 127.0.0.1" from the margins of pdfs.
asciilifeform: colour laser ? everybody who bought a FG, has a thick wad of yellowdotted printout
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i see the merit in using the actual item though.
asciilifeform: ( the dot pattern was reversed long ago, however , is public )
a111: Logged on 2017-08-29 01:02 kanzure: i do not have a sample of yellow printer dots in academic papers to work from. if you have a sample, i'll be happy to debug that.
kanzure: you'll have to find someone else to do as much
mircea_popescu: (most of the heavy lifting consists of OCR, mind you. that's the core of the job.)
mircea_popescu: not exactly what i want. it should work with arbitrary user provided links ; and it should specifically spit out the format required.
mircea_popescu: kanzure are you capable of standing up a bot which takes a link to a pdf and responds with a http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/hello/?raw=true link containing the contents ? ☟︎
kanzure: and i said so on irc in 2013. and i think i doxxed her and now i kind of feel bad about that.
kanzure: i met her in 2010 at a harvard transhumanism conference. i recognized her profile pic (rotated) on a scihub site.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo do we have the famous pdf unicorn-coconut or whatever took to the inept competition instead of bringing to qntra, resulting in a jail term for her ? ☟︎
kanzure: so it turns out, i was the reason why she got doxxed
mircea_popescu: why not ? woulda saved that chicks bacon, what was her name.
kanzure: i do not have a sample of yellow printer dots in academic papers to work from. if you have a sample, i'll be happy to debug that. ☟︎
kanzure: no just the ip address stuff
mircea_popescu: kanzure ftr, does your pdfparanoia thing also wipe the yellow printer dots ?
mircea_popescu: there's all sorta things.
mircea_popescu: you can teach yourself lisp by talking to candi_lustt
mircea_popescu: aite, so it's this item that factors privkeys. has the whole db of pgp and ssh keys.
kanzure: i was not aware of this.
mircea_popescu: it's a state, like any other. well, better than most, at least in tech terms.
mircea_popescu: the republic fabricates its own hardware, building towards a complete stack. not to mention its own software, idem. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i thought you read the logs.
kanzure: so far the only form of 'resource allocation' that i can peg you down for is re: something something 'protection of friendlines from idiocy'
mircea_popescu: maybe that's why alf's ecoli were so uncooperative. basiliskation.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-28 22:21 trinque: yudsy's basillisk does not flow back through time in-order-to bring about itself.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-28#1704192 << logically, shouldn't it terminate itself for that reason ? ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-08-28 22:15 kanzure: if things are so willy wonka in here that one cannot apply effort to directed intentional behavior then i'm not really sure how to communicate
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-28#1704183 << they are. resource allocation, including man hours, is not open to all comers ; it is not even open to "community" anything. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: seems i'd be uniquely unqualified for teh job.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-28 22:14 kanzure: well originally my purpose (that's right i said it) of bringing this up with mircea_popescu was to query his preferences regarding thermonuclear war err i mean eugenics err i mean direct participation in technology development for genome engineering projects
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-28#1704181 << i'm not much of an engineer ; i don't even own any ikea desk converted into an open thermo-thingee. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: wait, you are telling me you are working at company x BECAUSE you work there, not so that you're on the //heres-some%20stock-photos-stolen-from-internets.htmk page ?!
kanzure: i never asked to be listed there
mircea_popescu: so which of https://ledgerx.com/management-team/ is you then ?
kanzure: so yeah they did not have diligence until i showed up
a111: Logged on 2014-10-27 21:05 los_pantalones: mircea_popescu i can't believe how much $ the ledgerX guys raised
mircea_popescu: ah that's why he blacklisted you
kanzure: (these are real-time transcripts. nobody has time to go back and type. i just do it in real-time.)
mircea_popescu: o hey, check that out, logs.
mircea_popescu: not completely useless, i don't think.
kanzure: i'm able to keep up with core developers as they babble on about stuff, though https://bitcoincore.org/logs/2016-05-zurich-meeting-notes.html ☟︎
mircea_popescu: kanzure 188 wpm sorta top speed ? that's pretty impressive.
mircea_popescu: http://i.huffpost.com/gen/3932032/thumbs/o-RICE-CAKE-570.jpg << item's as close to paper as it gets. stores forever...
mircea_popescu: fucking fabulous idea. make the ink HFCS caramel too.
mircea_popescu can't help but visualize endless expanded rice cakes, painted with the required assignats drawings. sort of like e-stamps, only edible.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform now ask me what is the diff between polar and cartesian coord systems.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what's the operative diff ? -- other than where one places the 'world of plenty' hallucination in the present, and other -- in future..?
mircea_popescu: kanzure yes, the chinese fortune cookie see ? include the blessing with the meal. "by order of our most supreme government, you are obligated and alloweds to eat this"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform arguably the "world of plenty" "boundless bounty of this is our land" is one kind of nativist ; whereas assignats more of a frenchypoof thing.
asciilifeform: the 'we can create 10bil plates of shitburger to go with the vouchers if only we KomyoonityOrganizeStoneSoup correctly' is simply slightly moar elaborate version of same.
kanzure: oh print the voucher on the rice? i've been doing it wrong i guess.
mircea_popescu: lol. finally, 3d printing on biological material that matters! USE EXPANDED RICE!
kanzure: they could even eat the vouchers if you'd like
kanzure: 10 billion food vouchers can be printed if you would like to shut them up the hilarious way
mircea_popescu: at the risk of splitting hairs, that's possibly a different strand of the same coli.
asciilifeform: the borderline-retarded buy it because retarded; the cynical grifters buy it because 'i'll be first to the trough'
mircea_popescu: (the systemic shock then was the europeans, not the chinese, taking their gold back home. the us survived that one.)
mircea_popescu: i talked of it a little somewhere, it's very amusingly similar
mircea_popescu: anyway, amusingly enough that exact outlook, 'world of plenty', 'infinite resources', 'as soon said as done', 'just needs to be managed and komyoonitiorganized' resulted in the panic of 1837.
asciilifeform: doing normal things
asciilifeform: to the wind generation, cowboy is normal d00d
mircea_popescu: nobody thought himself a hero for being at verdun. more like an idiot, really.
mircea_popescu: but the next one.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform always how this happens. it wasn't the generatio nthat slept in cow dung under the biting western wind that thought cowboy is tough guy
a111: Logged on 2017-08-28 21:39 kanzure: "and as such they're not only infinite and uncountable, but even undefined" but isn't this what calibration is for. you communicate with people because you are trying to callibrate collective goal behavior shit.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-28#1704153 << i can certify i've not used language in trhis manner sicne about 5th grade. ☝︎
asciilifeform has theory, that one of the fundamental and incurable psychodysfunctions of the ameritard is the picture, formed in childhood, of 'world of plenty', 'infinite resources', 'as soon said as done', 'just needs to be managed and komyoonitiorganized' etc
asciilifeform: but the next, that didn't
asciilifeform: the interesting bit is that it wasn't, appears, the generation that played civ, that grew into these
mircea_popescu: but isn't that what technologee is all about!!!
asciilifeform: 'Mouthbreathers living in squalor all over the US are mentally preparing to solve the 3rd world's famine problems. Just in case. You never know when you suddenly become powerful. Fucking Cinderella syndrome, an entire generation of sleeping beauties.'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform amusingly, linked in my last. talk about premonitory.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: where was the 'game plan' thread
mircea_popescu: this is always an unfair comparison for the esltards, because all other languages being spoken by man over time have built in ridiculous protectors.
asciilifeform: nothing, afaik, quite like this.
mircea_popescu: there was a lot of the nonsense floating about, esp cca 1940s and 50s. back when they belieft.
mircea_popescu: hehehe i was about to say.
asciilifeform: at least sov gosplan never rose to the megalomania of 'plan future of all man'
asciilifeform: how can you read this without barfing, kanzure ?
asciilifeform: '... we engage in a project to "drive while we drive": to strategically influence the main factors that will strategically influence the future.'
mircea_popescu: which is why the fuck "exercise is healthy" in the first place.
mircea_popescu: ie, when people who are out of shape get the fuck back in shape, it is THESE ORGANS that expand first, and most.
mircea_popescu: anyway. in my admittedly pedestrian clinical experience, it was NEVER the myokines that limit muscle mass. it's always kidney clearance, lung efficiency and liver capacity for glycogenesis in this order.
asciilifeform: either that, or 9,999 possible other 'i put an f1 engine in my trabant' failure modes.
mircea_popescu: yeah, and if they grow enough they'll push your eyes ouyt.
asciilifeform: but point being, never came remotely close to useful item in man.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: d00d had some quite musculatured, and not otherwise mutilated ( as far as anybody could tell ) rat
