ben_vulpes: in re benchmarking, is 'perf' a reasonable
thing
to use?
☟︎ lobbes: forgive
the incoming spam
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i wasn't even rthinking getting
the panels
too. just get batteries, charge from network
mircea_popescu: esp if one gets a proper set rather
than consumer prepackaged bs.
mircea_popescu: more a matter of space. what's a cubic meter get me in
terms of mj ?
mircea_popescu: that's what i was
thinking, rather
than get a diesel, get a very large iron cell set instead.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform oh wait, we were
talking at cross purposes. yes
the gas ones are small.
mircea_popescu: no,
they do.
the
tiny shits suck. but
the 10-20-50hp ones work well enough.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ah yes,
that'd be much easier. but no gas here, and im not gonna bury a gpl
tank (bad soil, hillside).
mircea_popescu: and if you feel like spending a quarter mil or we on
the generators you do and if oyu don't you don't.
mircea_popescu: sometimes i wonder what you're
thinking, i'm connecting from a different dimension or what,.
mircea_popescu: allows for a civilised shutdown rather
than staying on indefinitely/
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
those were in buenos aires. i didn't
take along. all i got here is yhou know, inverters, batteries, stuff like
that.
mircea_popescu: it
turned into a lovely
teaching moment about
the you know, historically principal expenditure of female calories. "that's what
they did, all
the way
to 1800. lugged water.
they still do in india."
mircea_popescu: no power, no pumps (i live up on a hillside) and so i had
the girls... fery water. from
the pool, with ex-paper baskets repurposed as sacas, up
the fucking stairs.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i don't mean, here where i am. i mean, in costa rica period. and nicaragua. and panama.
toda la centroamerica, mang!
mircea_popescu: and in other news from
the unexpected jungle, a magistral link affording costa rica access
to
the brazilian electricity market failed* earlier
today, resulting in no power.
sina: nothing further
to report
sina: also: Complete break of RSA-1024 as implemented in Libgcrypt
https://eprint.iacr.org/2017/627.pdf, "And 13% of RSA-2048 keys. Whoopsie!", "The new bit is showing
that LtR sliding windows are a Very Bad Choice for modular exponentiation. Very nice."
sina: twitter quote from @i0n1c: "Ohh
the irony
that boot sectors are writable in Windows
to support anti virus software" reply from @WeldPond: "'It became necessary
to destroy
the
town
to save it,'"
sina: if you write a systemd unit file with "User=0day", it launches
the process as root. Pottering sez: "not a bug"
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Not ew, just another struggle
to achieve victory over! Or in program-talk "Another opportunity
to work your program"
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> oh, and good music = nothing after 2000, no electronica etc crapolade, none of
the boy band nkotb idiocy, no faggots (michael, bowie, whatever nonsense with hats). << Celebrate Victory with 10 Years of Van Halen!!!
mircea_popescu: oh, and good music = nothing after 2000, no electronica etc crapolade, none of
the boy band nkotb idiocy, no faggots (michael, bowie, whatever nonsense with hats).
mircea_popescu: as far as i'm concerned, good party = no less
than 60 females per 100, no loser/dork males present, good music not
too loudly and some public fucking.
mircea_popescu: then again, i wasn't on
the west coast ; nor do i have much patience for
the flip flop and smoked out crowd.
mircea_popescu: honestly, i don't recall ever going
to a good party states-side.
mircea_popescu: as far as
the
theory goes, at least. in practice,
the preference was very much
there, she was quite popular in
the basescu years.
mircea_popescu: but
this one at least understands (even if only spottily applies)
that she's supposed
to be naked.
the other ones generally do not.
this one is
thereby above average and
therefore
the preference.
mircea_popescu: point being :
the "i'd give it
to
the soviet comissar rather
than
to
this woman" preference ain't supported.
mircea_popescu: this one at least understands she's supposed
to be naked.
mircea_popescu: what sense does
that make ?
the central bank is just a faceless distillate of all
the population.
mircea_popescu: you understand
that if you smoke it you're gifting it
to mugurel yes ?
mircea_popescu: well, here used in
the general sense, "if elena asks for a car and you don't give it
to her, you're saving it. wtf you;'re saving it for ?"
mircea_popescu: she can have whatever she wants, why
the hell not. who else ? who'd you be saving it for, your own kids ?
mircea_popescu: just about. who doesn't want
to be friends with a hot blondy with brains ?
mircea_popescu: what can i
tell you. socialist state is poor and hopeless.
mircea_popescu: ro chick, secret service general no less, spent a decade organizing
these "leaderless" bullshits in ro.
mircea_popescu: (who, ironically, didn't speak
too highly of it, either.)
