asciilifeform: i assumed bvt knew of a use, given that he dug out the ru materials on subj
bvt: re fft: i would wait until a use-case appears, to at least understand what are the requirements. do you have something in mind?
asciilifeform: i saw. and imho would be interesting to have a constant-spacetime, no-floats fft
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'm not surprised, considering that bounds check overhead (in ada with all safeties switched on) magnifies the 'losing' of a losing (for particular width) algo
bvt: yes, and it's also true for memory accesses. however the number of executed instructions also increased a lot, which makes me suspect that there is something i missed
BingoBoingo: ^ Yes I raised the alarm. Efforts to convince me to lower it are welcome. If you are outside my L1 you need to offer a stake and odds for your petition to be considered.
BingoBoingo: Meanwhile there is a story floating around that Wikipedo does not load in Vzla after some stunt changing the President according to wikipedia to an opposition leader. At the same time girl on the ground in Vzla reports that wikipedo does indeed load.
BingoBoingo: Well Orange Man is supposed to give a speech sometime today. Maybe it'll be the orders to deploy them as southern border sandbags to fight Sinaloa/Zeta/Etc
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: it's a crying shame they didn't send ~all~ the 'java gurlz' to syria, to use for sandbags.
BingoBoingo: For a while watching hanbot beat the tards was fun until the quality of surviving tard dropped too low
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It's a USG target, why would they let the thing go dark and die when they can low effort collect still more noise in the undeadening venue
BingoBoingo: Indeed, but with the low volume of new posts it is a very cucky cuck transition indeed.
mircea_popescu: usual fate of these things, degenerate in a festival of cucks cucking cucks, usg.fbi style.
BingoBoingo: In other vitage trilema: http://trilema.com/2013/whats-a-sperglord/ A certain Sperglord's tardstalk account has indeed been active since sperging out in 2012-13
mircea_popescu: who knew nobody gives a shit!!11
mircea_popescu: far as cuckold itself, it seems to be more niche than it was say 5 years ago. Why is that? I'm seeing this stag/vixen thing being mentioned a lot more when I read websites. I didn't even know that was a thing?").
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in sad lulz, https://www.blacktowhite.net/threads/moving-away-from-cuckold-into-stag-vixen.146933/ ("Are people moving away? I'm noticing a shift in ads, profiles and websites that I browse. No one is really looking for a cuckold thing anymore. I got enthralled with the cuckold fantasy and I would love to meet a couple that was for it. But Cuckolds couples are hard to find. Couples, single females are easier but as ☟︎
asciilifeform: whoknows. but given the existence of the masochist folx, not much of a leap to picture the existence also of 'double agent' masochist, who takes delight in seekritly jimmying the cock seal, etc
mircea_popescu: kinda funny tho, mexicans gotta do the plumbing, blacks gotta do the fucking, women gotta do the erections... it's just a lotta work for erryone else.
mircea_popescu: anyway, there's a large twitter subculture of this whole thing. all the way to https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DxEsy1TWkAEoGgZ.jpg
asciilifeform: lol that's a , didjaknow, standard usa mains current meter seal.
asciilifeform: wtf's that mean in context of (what is evidently a) trans-whatever ?
mircea_popescu: meanwhile @reddit, https://www.reddit.com/r/BlackWorldOrder/comments/6b6l12/what_can_i_as_a_pussyfree_virgin_whiteboi_do_to/
asciilifeform: nao it's a google et al. kernel.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: his last , near as i can tell, act as a human, was to try & keep this liquishit out of his signed kernel tree. for which he was 'retired'.
mircea_popescu: nobody gives a shit about "linux kernel", or coc-linux altogether.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's a google-submitted patch, and it got eaten by the new, 'improved' torvalds, near as i can tell
mircea_popescu: fucking hell this bs, srsly, gcc now comes with a kernel-specific purpose flag ?
mircea_popescu: gimme a break.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i dug, and , unsurprisingly, a google production
asciilifeform: ( and before anyone loses appetite, this experiment was on a test box in torture room, not in pizarro )
asciilifeform: briefly revisiting the http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-18#1888182 find : 'CONFIG_RETPOLINE=n' yields a working kernel (with gcc 4.x), for nao. ☝︎☟︎
a111: Logged on 2019-01-14 03:53 mircea_popescu: in other arcana : i have here a copy of trb that has died a mysterious death on dec 31st. the process itself hasn't returned, ps aux lists it as expected, however the last time it touched any files was two weeks ago, nor does a call to getinfo ever return.
BingoBoingo: I've encountered quite a bit of it in my spam traps as well as searching for life various all comers spam traps.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i was doing the annoying but occasionally inescapable chore of sweeping out a spamola-encrusted mailbox, and ~100% of the spams were for something nominally smokable/pillable/etc
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i find it interesting how usaschwitz inmates will do literally ~any~ dope, even the expensive obummercare-'prescription' crapola, just to take a few hour's 'vacation' from 'how world works'(tm)(r)
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: There's a whole mess of these plant extracts and research chemicals that get affiliate marketing promoted until crack downs come. Pantsuitists, alt-pantsuitists, and color pillers all get marketed the stuff.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It's got some alkaloids that are apparently partial agonists on the opioid receptors. Was explicitly banned once it started making the news for being a potential methadone alternative for relieving overdosable opiate cravings.
mircea_popescu: ssl also sounds like a pretty good meme.
BingoBoingo: And a new MUGA contender appears: https://www.elobservador.com.uy/nota/gustavo-salle-sera-candidato-para-hacer-cambios-en-uruguay-con-sangre-sudor-y-lagrimas--2019118181041
asciilifeform: and incidentally the cards run fine without'em, it's a 'parachute' component
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'ma include new ones in the cargo, it's a 20 $ part
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: suburbia isn't a thing to compare here. Suburbia is 4-8 derps per acre paying ground rent to the mammy lords at the school house while imagining themselves lords because of cheap credit.
mircea_popescu: a century of "we are doing things for the poor" bore its fruits.
asciilifeform: and it was a pretty close match.
mircea_popescu: but as a factual matter : "tearing down" a duke is always easy enough from behind. dealing with the cost-of-consequence of having torn down your duke, intractable problem.
mircea_popescu: yet the man said, "In any century before this one, a people as divided as the British over Europe would have started murdering each other long ago. "
asciilifeform: tbf the brits at that point had a 100+ yr pest control problem
mircea_popescu: they advanced such a great step towards good time i couldn't begin to tell you.
mircea_popescu: "This is a war Budget. It is for raising money to wage implacable warfare against poverty and squalidness. I cannot help hoping and believing that before this generation has passed away, we shall have advanced a great step towards that good time, when poverty, and the wretchedness and human degradation which always follows in its camp, will be as remote to the people of this country as the wolves which once infested its fores
mircea_popescu: pro tip : whenever the inferior whine about maltreatment, it's a sure sign as if god spoke himself that you're sparing the rod excessively, and spoiling the children in consequence.
mircea_popescu: im sure if we had a code of conduct to guarantee greater accessibility and respect for all morons, a lot more catalogs would be produced.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-29 16:05 kanzure: that's a reasonable request. i'll make catalog.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-12 16:44 asciilifeform: even on asciilifeform's home planet, good chunk of marriages were 'soft-arranged' -- i.e. 'comrade colonel, you have a bachelor son, i have a ripe daughter' 'comrade lt colonel, let's box'em in a room, wainot'
asciilifeform: i had 1 of these. ( 3yo a.: 'grandfather, what do soldiers do after the war' him:'die' )
mircea_popescu: point here being, that they crearted a thing, a year ago. and then the thing they created a year ago was found not good, and was reformed, months ago. and reformed it stands as called, and well... the minds that think thus think thus, and do everything else exactly as you'\d expect.
asciilifeform: the bureaucracy 'codes' are sumthingelse... there was a time when asciilifeform slaved in a usg army research thing, and their 'job codes' were written in 1960s, there was no 'programmer'. so ended up 'chemist'. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: wouldn't you like a processor like that ?
mircea_popescu: during a ceremony that also included the establishment of three additional subordinate commands: Cryptologic Warfare Maritime Activity (CWMA) 61, Cyber Strike Activity (CSA) 63 and Cyber Defense Activity (CDA) 64."
mircea_popescu: ie, worked for cwa-66, item recently (months ago) created by the 2017 vintage cwa-6 (itself a rebranding of NIOC Maryland aka NSGA Fort Meade).
mircea_popescu: https://twitter.com/matthewwalther << someone drop him a loglink, if anyone still has a twitter
a111: Logged on 2017-08-28 23:10 mircea_popescu: kanzure " Obviously there is no possiblity of meaning outside of a structure of authority, and the authority can not be predicated on the meaning."
mircea_popescu: what creates a nation is shared meaning, strictly in the sense of http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-28#1704268 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: "Many paternalist conservatives, including those of the "One Nation" tendency with which May identifies, have made a point of disagreeing with Lady Thatcher's famous dictum that there is no such thing as society. But it increasingly looks as if she was right. We don't have society anymore but rather an economy." << incidentally, that is EXACTRLY what gave europe the villa economy, hence villeins ie diocletian's chained plebs,
mircea_popescu: but anyway, in the us the strictly only avenue left to the dnc is to "pretend" to "ignore". if they engage they get crushed. the party's already gone as a going concern, for which reason : the only way an imaginary party can continue its imagined hold on worldly things is through "ignoring" them. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: Look at Pelosi, all the other career women are telling her to respond to everything Trump does as though a toddler is having a tantrum (i.e. ignoring him unless he 'calms down' for an impossible in this case definition of calm down). Nevermind the response is not only what Trump wants, it is what the hayseeds and others supporting Trump want.
mircea_popescu: that poor theresa may moron. so they "rejected" her plan, ie, they set up a scapegoat to "come up with a plan" for the distinct purpose of rejecting it loudly whatever it may be.
BingoBoingo: FWIW the email spam folder has a lot of spam with attachments today. Usual month ~0 of these
diana_coman: did this one die with a sad drive too or was it changed before it really died on it?
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> uninhabited since it disk swap; last housed mod6 ( who moved to a vacant, at the time, unit, when we swapped disks ) << Uninhabited last housed me.
asciilifeform: uninhabited since it disk swap; last housed mod6 ( who moved to a vacant, at the time, unit, when we swapped disks )
diana_coman: did this RK died while being unused ? a log search for it shows only something in August last year - new master img deployed http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-08#1840376 ☝︎
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Took multiple power cycling to boot up in a way that responds to ping.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: It's not particularly close. Spent a good chunk of time cleaning it yesterday. This particular one has been iffy since the sad cheep USBs started failing.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they're all in a breadbox-sized shelf, quite far from uy1. and with own forced air.
asciilifeform: i'd quite like to 'ha, i'ma throw rk, and use $x', but i haven't any lead on a usable $x.
mircea_popescu: it certainly could be a failing coupling in usb jack, or somesuch.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if 'magic packet', then decision tree of enemy is somewhat perplexing, why start with only 1 box ( why not nuke all 6 ? and have asciilifeform chasing dud power supply etc ) , or why not start with a live box.
mircea_popescu: they are affordable, and so you have a very strong position there.
mircea_popescu: otherwise, you amply do not care : a box that crashes on diddling is as valuable as an undiddlable box.
asciilifeform: a test with independent (from other 5) power supply, also returned same.
asciilifeform: notably, a test using the auxiliary (usb2.0) jack returned same result.
asciilifeform: mod6: that's neither here nor there, it's a cpu temp reader thing
asciilifeform: initially suspected a dead drive, these produce similar symptoms ( garbage when reading disk ), had BingoBoingo fetch brand-new one from spares stash
mircea_popescu pages ave1 too, it'd be a pity to miss such
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'ma post lulzdump for the pleasure of mircea_popescu et al in a min.
mircea_popescu: i have ~never~ heard of a cpu that ~genuinely~ fandango'd instructions. each and EVERY single one of the ~scant few~ dozen cases was stuxnet-like
mircea_popescu: sounds like a botched fw "upgrade" ?
asciilifeform: i'ma post a few sample dumps in a min
mod6: I guess I should say, that I'm not sure exactly. But we should do a bunch of anaysis to see what would be the best play for capital allocation.
asciilifeform: it appears that we'll still have to construct a larger rk plant, but they will have to be physically racked in such a way as to be replaceable without taking down whole plant
asciilifeform: mod6: note that there is still not afaik anything like a candidate for 'rk, but better'
asciilifeform: mod6: i'ma ship new rk + a few spares to BingoBoingo ( who appears to have solved his orc customs problems ) , but the find is concerning in re the wisdom of installing 9000 of'em
asciilifeform: mod6: currently much moar pedestrian concern: seems like we have 1st instance of a dead rk.
mod6: If that chinese iron could get the job done for a reasonable rate.. could be pretty good offering.
asciilifeform: afaik this is a 1st.
mircea_popescu: The apparent murder of journalist Ahmed Divela is chilling. Ghana is recognized by many, including me, as a vibrant, strong democracy and an example for the continent in many ways. " meanwhile in related lulz. ☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=+%22mircea+popescu%22&t=ffsb&iax=images&ia=images << in other lulz, i fucking love the results. a buncha dorks and a buncha sluts, what more can you ask for.
asciilifeform: would like to , 1st, give the znc people a chance to sit down on rk, if they can be aroused to.
asciilifeform: still waitin' to hear from the znc-on-uy1 people, whether any want a rk acct.
