mircea_popescu: obama i understand. basically, tiganu' satului elected mayor. he's gonna be fucking thrilled, look ma, i'm on top of the world.
diana_coman: obama-happy, trump-happy
trinque: generalizations that broad being easily falsified and so on
diana_coman: tbh I am not sure I see much to really distinguish this sort of "it makes me happy" from the "mud makes me happy"
trinque: my lady friend put it to me thus, that woman can behave like a man in certain realms, but often means cutting off a tit, like the (possibly apocryphal) amazon woman archer thing.
mircea_popescu: i dunno why the pantsuits were so aggro re trump's twitter account. whole fucking JOB is little more than a pretext for putting "trump official" on your twitter.
mircea_popescu: whole "position of power" bs is so much statal crap. but on the positive side, it's definitely wringing itself out of existence, as finely exemplified by teh "tangerine in chief" etc. what exact power is it ?
diana_coman: shinohai, thanks!
mircea_popescu: hey, im not much in favour of putting "men" of the sort in positions of power either.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, not sure I'd have less trouble finding a man really; I get what you mean though
shinohai: Perhaps because diana_coman is equal to any 10 other women I know.
mircea_popescu: yeah, but it's only funny until someone loses an eye. to wit, suppose your job was to find some woman qualified to speak -- other than you. preferably, 21 something, pr pisi.
diana_coman: I find funny all the talk of no-speak, what
danielpbarron: it's only in church that women shouldn't speak, and I don't know of very many true churches
mod6: trinque, danielpbarron, et al. thx. got X built, gcc 4.9.2, etc. on the new laptop. ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2015-09-14 00:35 mircea_popescu: * trinque [...] a very angry man about why what I did was below what was expected of me << for the record, i don't think very much of this entire "expectations" verbiage/bs. if you think a little about it, so would you. a) what sort of fucking powerless vulnerable schmuck lets himself get into the position of DEPENDING on a kid ? that's what you're saying. don't say that, not only is it not true it's also very stupid.
trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2015-09-14#1273331 << see here for the same passive aggressive thinking being thunked out of a slightly younger trinque ☝︎
diana_coman too busy to speak; works
jhvh1: danielpbarron: [KJV] 1 Corinthians 14:34 :: Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.
danielpbarron: "are to be" is the author of that article's words; not scripture.
trinque: for all I know that happened in the translation to turdlang.
a111: Logged on 2016-10-09 21:45 danielpbarron: >> The Lord did not design men to have women rule over them. He designed men to rule over women. "The head of woman is man" (1 Corinthians 11:3), and "Adam was formed first, then Eve" (1 Timothy 2:13). This is why women are to be submissive (1 Corinthians 14:34). God has placed men as the authority (head) over women, and therefore they need to submit to this authority. Moreover, this authority was established from the very beginnin
trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-09#1554228 << it's this "are to be" which throws the whole thing off, rather than, "you are commanded to make them" ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2016-10-09 21:44 jhvh1: danielpbarron: [KJV] Isaiah 3:12 :: As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
mircea_popescu: if she gets a chance to, totally going to "leadersheep"
shinohai: Theresa May gonna cuck the entire continent.
mircea_popescu: it's an idea that sounds great in theory, and works ok while it's new, because only golda meirs and margaret thatchers make it in. but on the long term, the fundamental whorish substrate of the female, biologically conditioned to trade cocksucking for "safety", surfaces and fucks everything up.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-07 19:09 asciilifeform: meanwhile, in the circus, http://archive.is/K1Ur0 >> 'I'm clear: if human rights laws get in the way of tackling extremism and terrorism, we will change those laws to keep British people safe.' ( Theresa May )
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-07#1666862 << and this is why you don't want females electable in any position of power. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-04-13 01:06 asciilifeform: the sheer idiocy of 'voice command' -- in particular, when device offers no other ui, there are cars now that can only be configured with voice ( are these only sold in anglotardistan? i can only with difficulty picture them elsewhere )
shinohai: "Perfect! I'll take 3!"
asciilifeform: 'your lizard majesty, we are low on moneys with which to pay for improved NN for wiretap-to-text coverters.' 'make the victims pay' 'how?' 'sell them 'convenient' voicecontrolled toys, they'll buy voluntarily'
shinohai: http://archive.is/osrZ7 <<< "Alexa, send all my secrets to the feebs"

mircea_popescu: i expect the indirection layer between "reality as is" and "reality as perceptible", rudimentary as it is, should be entirely suffcicient to go from hurr durr as displayed by academics to actual science.
asciilifeform: kinda like ye olde corewars in 'king of the hill' mode
mircea_popescu: though something tells me you'll say exactly the same re this as re the other model : http://trilema.com/2017/the-failure-mode-of-abundance/#comment-122198 ie "there's no time to consider ACTUAL meaningful models, all we have time for is nonsense. where's that happy meal ?!?!"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform http://trilema.com/2017/the-bitcoin-learning-tournament/ << there you go, a much more proper model of reality in terms of learning.
BingoBoingo: and yet, we live in the future and it is awesome
asciilifeform: even the hdd is optional
asciilifeform: ( theoretically -- a comp needs only fpga, a few nics, some memory, and a means of hooking up hdd )
asciilifeform: a board entirely like this, but minus all of the superfluous peripherals, and with sram in place of dram, would be quite spiffy ( i've a half-drawn one here, but it sits and waits for its hour )
mircea_popescu: goes right back to the tmsr principle of security through modularization.
asciilifeform: and handy demo of the principle 'sanely hooked up nic is harmless regardless of how boobytrapped, use port not bus'
mircea_popescu: no no the sky is falling!!1
asciilifeform: dun get quite so hot an' bothered, it's still made of traditional xilinx (which needs the massive toolchain) and still contains sdram ( for which no controller other than xilinx's , works ) but this board is actually useful -- in comparison with my existing aging 'ml501' ( as pictured in http://www.loper-os.org/?p=702 , http://www.loper-os.org/?p=797 )
mircea_popescu: and you were "they're dumb as rocks". which is true, they are, there's no dumber beast than the asian. nevertheless -- to break it inadvertently they don't need deliberate, directed effort. they just need to be numerous and take themselves seriously. which they are.
mircea_popescu: the whole dispute re theory of future of computing, years ago, was you making the (otherwise very solid) case for nsa/tivo-ization, and me saying "i betcher the chinese will break it, inadvertently".
asciilifeform: but major step ahead in laziness, now i dun have to draw this board
mircea_popescu: see alf, I TOLD YOU teh chinese will break it. did i tell you ?
asciilifeform: not unless author of fpga circuit chooses to arrange it pc-style (and why!)
asciilifeform: in this configuration it does not in fact matter what is inside the nic (if you think about it)
asciilifeform: this might sound like a snore, but isn't : thing is wires as 'port', rather than as bus
mircea_popescu: was that blobless ?
asciilifeform: in other noose, asciilifeform learned that a very recent chinese fpga board : AX516 ( http://esys.ir/images/img_Item/1158/Files/AX516_usermanual.pdf ) includes RTL8211EG , GB nic !! and cheapo.
mircea_popescu: hey. if security were an objective state, trompi wouldn't have centered the software of females around it.
asciilifeform: still a bit of a puzzler, who ~voluntarily~ uses the thing. 'why do you have an incense burner in your house?' 'they're required at church' 'yes but...'
asciilifeform always wondered what somebody gotta have in his crankcase instead of brains, to run selinux ☟︎
mircea_popescu: o look, security enabled insecurity! how typical.
asciilifeform: in other lulz, https://archive.is/pbE6V >> 'The user can choose a device number that corresponds to a terminal currently in use by another user. This allows an attacker to run any command allowed by sudo with read and write access to an arbitrary terminal device. ... As before, the bug is specific to Linux systems that have SELinux enabled ...'

mircea_popescu: anyway, didn't you get some reply from ivan turbinka or somesuch ?
mircea_popescu: tgat;s the more shocking part.
asciilifeform: what'd be the point.
mircea_popescu: but cows ain't trying to buy it either!
asciilifeform: farmer does not issue stock to sell to his cows, no.
mircea_popescu: apparently apple could buy russia ; but icbc, which not only "could" but ACRTUALLY BUYS america (not the fucking us shithole, THE WHOLE CONTINENT), that dun exist, never happened, etc.
mircea_popescu: remember when the icbc had no listing in reich paper mills, except for something tiny in the pink sheets ?
asciilifeform: ( asciilifeform got 0 replies to his inquiries from 'baikal' , incidentally. )
asciilifeform: interestingly there's ~0 material in english on subj ( other than 3rd hand re-chewed crud ) -- period
mircea_popescu: it helps confidence that it's misspelled.
asciilifeform: still not found any sign of reseller who would actually take an order
mircea_popescu: lol @qatar dorks, "our commitment to the us is a solid commitment".
mod6: hey asciilifeform, never thought i'd say this but: thanks for the horsecocks!
asciilifeform: i'd expect those'd be sold for soap
mircea_popescu: maybe dumb cunt hangs self in prison, optimal outcome as far as the pantsuit are concerned.
mircea_popescu: if nobody gives a shit, yes. if "social media storm", then not right off.
mircea_popescu: depends how much "heroine of the ourdemocracy" mileage can be had from it.
asciilifeform: also i expect the criminal case against the chick, will somehow evaporate.
trinque: exactly right, and "we'd show you the proof, but classified!"
asciilifeform: trinque: it was a convenient cheat around the 'they cited 0 actual intel' thing
trinque: it's a move against trump, transparently.
mircea_popescu: i did not. also am not going to. for very precisely the trinque reason, i can't be arsed to read $nobody provenance items.
trinque: now they can head into this comey guy's testimony with ample reference to the leaked doc
mircea_popescu: trinque i don't think anyone bothered to read the content of the crap.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-06 18:23 trinque: leaked means true these days.
trinque: still missing the disinfo value of this "leak" imo.
asciilifeform: they hire on a very late-sovok 'too dim to know what to steal and where to take it' principle
asciilifeform: this'd be an accurate description of most of the folx in the business, yes
mircea_popescu: sure. still, this looks like a home office clerk rather than an actual contractor. woman had all the intellectual power of a pet goat.
asciilifeform: this 'sponsor' is expected to cover cost of paperwork
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: most 'intelligence komyooniti' folx slave for a nominally 'private' org, rather than for usg in the proper sense
mircea_popescu: corporate sponsorship to work for nsa ?
asciilifeform: the various hazing rituals, and onerous bureaucracy associated with said cult, are well-documented elsewhere, i will not bother to recount.
asciilifeform: at one time ~million completed (yes) application forms for this, leaked, any enthusiastic entomologist can go, read.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-06 18:17 BingoBoingo: "There are many Americans protesting US govt aggression towards Iran. If our Tangerine in Chief declares war, we stand with you!" << Pro-Iran and gets a seekoority clearance
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-06#1666594 << ~anyone, supposing he has a u.s. passport, and 0 official record of judgements against him, can get 'top secret clearance' with corporate sponsorship. the filtration (i.e. who is permitted into any interesting 'compartment') comes ~after~ ☝︎
asciilifeform: i won't even bother to link to it. who wants -- can find.
asciilifeform: oh, phun phakt, adacore distributes its own mmaptron -- but it is monstrous (easily 25x larger than mine) and largely on account of supporting winblowz
