mircea_popescu: ReadErr because we don't believe in the mass market.
mircea_popescu: ReadErr don't break up your logical sentences, it's unseemly. people read whole lines, you don[t have to make a saladpoem out of your thoughts. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: ie, romans were ~trying~ to build the exact system roosevelt built! but lacking in comms and banking, they didn't manage. usg -- did manage, what comes now down the road is...
mircea_popescu: ReadErr hey, make laws about how niggers don't need to make the grade to qualify, end up with worst president of worlds' history, confirm bias in they biased against all blacks and have to undo all his idiotic "reforms" at considerable cost.

danielpbarron: it's finite in the sense that they eventually print so much it isn't worth anything anymore
danielpbarron: yeah i don't know how else to put it
danielpbarron: yeah don't you see the topic
danielpbarron: ReadErr, i don't know that we want to "overthrow" the usg. more like, do our own thing in opposition to them, and eventually hang the bureaucrats
asciilifeform: 'hardware isn't easy to build therefore couldn't possibly be necessary, the gods would not have made this level so hard, for me, the hero' or similar. ☟︎☟︎☟︎
a111: Logged on 2017-12-31 16:39 mircea_popescu: don't lie, because if you do you form a sort of mental habit that will prevent you from ever inventing anything.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-04#1763557 << at this point i'm quite convinced that you can't 'fix clim'. any more than 'fix' winblowz ☝︎

trinque: deedbot is case insensitive; wallet ought to be but isn't.

phf: "doctor, will i be able to play violin after surgery?" "i don't see why not" "are you sure?" "i'm certain" "that's odd, i couldn't play violin before"
mircea_popescu: to put it in other words : the republic does not deem corporatyions to be persons. a corporation can't owe tax for the exact same reason the united states government can't be sovereign. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i can't, on the basis of that video, infer anything beyond, "hey, if we ever want to upload a youtube video with apologies about some software, maybe gabriel_laddel is free"
mircea_popescu: nothwithstanding that bb opened the pot talk, there's the problem that if i want to point to something to explain what you do to an innocent third party, i don't know where to, gabriel_laddel
BingoBoingo: Down here people tend not to market hard drugs to the gringo that doesn't drink or smoke pot.
BingoBoingo: trinque: How do you know that wasn't a leprachaun pretending to be pete's peeple?
gabriel_laddel doesn't care about 'white', but just so happens WMD (white male doctor) is far more talented than stanford semetic strange
BingoBoingo: <trinque> I dunno; wouldn't be a bad thing for someone to investigate if there's a sickly <-> pantsuit correlation << There is
trinque: I dunno; wouldn't be a bad thing for someone to investigate if there's a sickly <-> pantsuit correlation
BingoBoingo: And it can't be that one places grass is better than the other's for cow feeding
ben_vulpes: no really, you're crying because he got dinged and not because you didn't get the raise? i am so very convinced.
asciilifeform: it isn't clear to me why any such thing as 'distill the entropy' should be possible.
mircea_popescu: and the non-constant part of the polynomial isn't bias.
asciilifeform: this wouldn't be worth writing about, except that it invites a gnarlier analysis q -- what is the bias that 1 round of faircoin ~does not~ remove ? ... analogous similarly directly to successive degrees of polynomial 'not removed' by differentiation in continuous functions ? can prove this ?
phf: no c-a doesn't work anymore, since that's what escape directive does
phf: anybody know how to refresh gnu screen's config remotely? i set `escape ^))` which apparently doesn't work
BingoBoingo: Jumping is not a gringo power. They even made a movie titled "White men can't jump"
mircea_popescu: and wtf ivory bunks you got there. chicago man can't jump ?!
mircea_popescu: ok, but do me a favour, don't drink the whole river at the same time.
BingoBoingo: !<mircea_popescu> http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-03#1763132 << it's kinda funny how all sorta three-toothpicks-tied-together doods go like "oh, knockout game". the FUCKING IDEA is to knock out someone by surprise when it's even vaguely conceivable you couldn't have otherwise. who the fuck is going to "knockout game" some dood that looks like he'd get knocked out falling out of bed / in some kind of toothbrush incident. << In St Louis ☝︎
phf: asciilifeform: oblig http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBuAfIjsFVk&t=1m20s
mircea_popescu: i can't imagine who has the energy/resources even. but...

asciilifeform: ( unsurprisingly they don't all show up on traceroute )
asciilifeform: the ones currently sold are ~= ipnoje-running-emulator, internally ( 32bit 'arm' with 100s of MB of ram -- and doesn't add up to the original's 1980s 68k cpu )
ben_vulpes: not only that but it doesn't display 8 decimal places naively, and i don't care to figure out how to fixit, so it got binned on the spot.
ben_vulpes: mine's been doing a marvelous job at staying at the tip, and i suspect that my network slices have made transaction broadcasting more reliable, but This Ain't Science
phf: oh hey, PeterL also did an optimization that i didn't notice at the time
danielpbarron: or a country that can't stop you from throwing them. who cares what they "let you do"
BingoBoingo: The setup however is not bulletproof. It turns out they don't make ballistic rated servers or cabinets.
mircea_popescu: twitter isn't likely going to support this.
mircea_popescu: and yes, now it won't -v
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Medium can't concrete porque not latino
asciilifeform: but it ain't. because 'dun help c-machine any'
mircea_popescu: well, moar of a "if you can't use time band for signalling you're stuck with a stitched together in-band signalling monstrosity"
asciilifeform: it ain't a randomaccess device. any moar then cassette.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-24 14:41 asciilifeform: ( why to do this ? just as in other cases of 'i can't believe it's not X!', dram is not actually random-access -- all currently sold drams only achieve their rated speed in 'burst mode'; and from that it follows that they are only ever read to fill a cache line; and from this, trivial timing leak etc. and the joys of 'rowhammer', bonus. )
asciilifeform: that particular idiocy isn't even new , existed more or less as-is in 1970s ('timesharing')
asciilifeform: ( much has been written re other aspects, re 'no work, no eat' labour quotas in zekland etc. so i won't repeat. )
asciilifeform: train that doesn't -- can also work undisturbed for century
mircea_popescu: nah. train car that doesn't have major safety factor over resonance is taken out within first 10 miles.
mircea_popescu: no, because if train car was as marginal as bridge, you couldn't drive it with fucking grain.
asciilifeform: it isn't a physical impossibility, petrol trucks have overturned from 'slosh' effect
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-17#1685518 << but originally on trilema and can't seem to excavate the concrete item ☝︎
mircea_popescu: this isn't a discussion about how "delilah cut some hair and sold it at the market becoming rich and happy". the fact of the matter is, they fucked each other over, and irrecoverably.
a111: Logged on 2016-11-20 23:49 mircea_popescu: all through this seeking my approval in the sense of trying to verify if im all that impressed. i... wasn't fucking impressed, because why the fuck would i be impressed with the male nurse.
mircea_popescu: marrying into the hand of the husband signified that the woman became his property, like any other slave (with some exceptions, such as can't be given in lieu of the damage like common slave), and was achieved through continuous cohabitation (one year with no break longer than two days)
asciilifeform: the traditional picture is that folx went for land. and it ain't as if you can bring it back to old europistan.
mircea_popescu: the ~other~ available heuristic, likely weaker but reaching further into the past, is to observe that the moor ~strangles~ desdemona, doesn't raise her princess little venetian-aspirant daugthers.
asciilifeform: just didn't turn out to be the valhalla the f-students imagined.
mircea_popescu: "oh, what'll the teacher do, if he flunks all of us he can't be a teacher anymore, he needs us"
asciilifeform: i had nfi this was controversial. folx 'so lazy' that won't feed selves -- end up today typically in nuthouse
asciilifeform: if so lazy that won't bother to 'dip them' -- then yes, not complete
mircea_popescu: you being lazy doesn't mean "evidently i'm not complete body"
asciilifeform: just as mouse without white cells ain't complete mouse.
mircea_popescu: the jews weren't a state ; but very much country.
mircea_popescu: and also why the pretense that rape "hurts" the woman somehow ~entirely rests on the pretense that the linus behaviour "doesn't exist", which is part and parcel of empire trying to hijack it for its own ends.
asciilifeform: it isn't even clear to me how linus -- supposing that he participates in the coverups -- differs from e.g. florian weimer et al
diana_coman: oh, lobbes never mind, it didn't yet get through it seems and I was seeing a stale invoice instead, will wait
mircea_popescu: "what do you mean you're not hungry, and even if you were you wouldn't eat the shit we peddle ?!? here, have a bowl!"
mircea_popescu: btw, shouldn't chocolate be illegal in the us ?
ben_vulpes: what you think i don't shop at target because some confusion of hairshirt ethics and economics? no, they sell plastic trash, that's why i don't.
ben_vulpes: because "not done in usa, and we don't shop at target because child slavery!"
mircea_popescu: human culture is entirely dependent on these transmission processes, if you don't work & fuck the kids they'll exterminate you when they come of age, and for the proper reason : you're little more than a bug to them.
ben_vulpes: but afaik you are correct in that the formulation hasta be "if you can't raise them as a +ev proposition, you didn't have any business doing it in the first place" and just like everything else of +/- ev in this world, there is only one way to know if you can pull it off
esthlos: ben_vulpes: I don't claim that people actually acted for the benefit of their lineage, but that they understood that they should
revnja: i have an RSA key registered, querying it with !!up doesn't provide me a challenge, deedbot just tells me I cannot !!up myself.
ben_vulpes: reads like "rev-en-ja", or "revenger" from here but that can't be right
BigTexasBingo: And I decided fuck it, time to learn some Portuguese. Apparently the Brasileras don't stick around all year
trinque: wasn't a long-term proposal, thought the guy was blocked on paying somebody. I'm sure BingoBoingo's moving things along.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-25 19:00 mircea_popescu: anyway, for the record and in case it isn't entirely self-evident on the basis of http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-25#1758486 : whenever some self-proclaimed "sovereign" of the fiat sort tries to say "hey, we have a law", the correct response is to a) point out to that self-proclaimed faux sovereign that there exist other just as valid because just as self-proclaimed faux sovereigns (the eu, russia, china, whatever, bucnha them
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i don't get it, if you spent 2319 usd how can oooh i see, tangibles. so you had ~.51 worth of bitcoin is fiatola and ended with .2 worth of bitcoin in fiatola.
trinque: can't grab one of those international amex accounts and pay the dc with that?
BingoBoingo: I found an accountant. They are insisting the government should have the paperwork approved soon, but they haven't been too forthcoming on details.
diana_coman: what is the current bottleneck anyway? I can't seem to find it in clear in there or previous posts, am I missing something?
BingoBoingo: And the expectation at the moment is either customers ship, purchase, or otherwise negtiate a machine. At this stage I am weary on the renting, because I don't know what an acceptable machine to rent out is given the proclivity of the lords.
ben_vulpes: i don't recommend it either
mod6: don't listen to it.
trinque: that looks useful for kernel dev. I don't think you'd need it.
trinque: defaults will probably work, but it's worth hitting ? on the ones you don't recognize; it'll give a description.
danielpbarron: top of what, i refreshed the blog post and i don't see a difference
trinque: you didn't tell it what device to install to.
asciilifeform: the funniest bit is that this d00d wasn't 15 y.o
mircea_popescu: also, nutmeg apparently heard of xor, but "is no good -- can't send key!"
asciilifeform: 'I did publish, separately in sci.crypt, a nostalgic piece about a possible ancestor to this system. You can't very well accuse me of claiming novelty. There is a lot of deviousness and a bit of intelligence in what I proposed, but the novelty is in the way I implement the idea, and in the beneficial side effects.'
