asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-07#1934699 << in the orig. '17 thread re 'make cpu', mircea_popescu made the observation 'the sticker prices have 3 or 4 extra zeros on'em', i.e. pointless to even ask the q before we have penetration into the asian snakepits where iron is actually baked. without such, we're stuck looking at the chump ratecards.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-07 08:39:00 mircea_popescu: b) SELL IT to them. forcibly. i do mean, at the point of the sword, rape them with it.
asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-07#1934692 << the tricky bit is that to sell sumthing, it gotta exist 1st. ( granted various hucksters manage to 'sell' thin air, but this is outside the scope imho )
asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-07#1934677 << this is entirely troo ( recall the infamous ibm derp's 'there is a world market for perhaps 6 computers' ? )
asciilifeform: the orig q was re line rate of nic. but even the modest piz pipe , 200Mbit/s , is good for ~50k 512B packets / sec , when otherwise unloaded.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-07 08:36:48 mircea_popescu: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-06#1934382 << practical network rates are more in the 1k/s or threabouts, certainly if sustained. 2*18 is not seen even in dedicated interchanges.
asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-07#1934686 << yer figure is unrealistically pessimistic, 1k * 512b == 512kB/s . there indeed is overhead in nic etc, but udp packets can be received at very close to rated capacity of pipe.
asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-07#1934668 << this is serious bugola. i'ma take a look.

asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-07#1934664 << i also haven't learned hieroglyphs and moved to pekin. doesn't mean that couldn't, or at some point won't come to it.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-07 07:26:50 mircea_popescu: chuck moore can be famous when he meets the bar to existence. when you can fucking LINK to the god damned "famous" things.
asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-07#1934661 >> e.g. http://www.greenarraychips.com/ . or the fact that his book was translated and printed in run of 1e6 even in sovok. but i expect 'not famous enuff' to mircea_popescu , cuz aint in his personal kit ? or wat.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-07 07:18:44 mircea_popescu: i don't specifically care if they become things or not -- but i'd much rather not be asked to foot the bill for their becoming. let them do the work themfuckingselves, which is why i say : piggybacking even more stupid shit atop a tower of stupid shit we're allegedly trying to clean up is... well ? it's stupid!
asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-07#1934655 << appeal of forth is that there ~aint~ a 'tower'. i.e. can stand up all the compiler you need in coupla 100 bytes.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-07 07:17:58 mircea_popescu: forth is not a thing. lisp is not a thing. on in this vein.
asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-07#1934654 << if you dun see sumthing with naked eye, dun mean it aint there.

snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-07 07:12:55 mircea_popescu: and just so, "great lang" that does nothing IS nothing.
asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-07#1934647 << thing has install base that dwarfs apache. ( it's in the bootloader of erry single sgi, sun, even crapple box sold to date; in 1e6 pieces of embedded equip., and whole buncha 'unsexy' irons, from mains transformers, burglar alarms, etc., possibly even in yer mercedes. )

asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-07#1934642 << if it's to live, gotta cement it into trinque's collection, yes

asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-07#1934617 << i dun have a serious output for that q yet, will come back to it .
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-07 05:01:18 mircea_popescu: thinks asciilifeform should also get something ; though it's unclear how exactly to figure this out. but -- lacking a better idea, i guess he can have 10% of the winning bid in royalties and we see.
asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-07#1934613 << why ty.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-07 04:57:27 mircea_popescu: the line where it was mentioned as text and the url to the logotron ; and c) deploys this to pizarro box (should be getting one presently i'm understanding) -- this step will also include putting a trilema clone in there (i'll provide the mp-wp install/db dumb, all that's needed is a mysql glue such that local myql server slaves trilema.com mysql server ; i intend to make a one line edit to the forms, such that
asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-07#1934607 << interesting idea, but plox to give detailed spec, i suspect no one can bake based on the 3ln given

asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-07#1934537 << this is troo, could cache search pgs at the current rate and not fill disk in 100y

asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-07#1934490 << also relevantly, if ben is down w/out being rebootable, mod6 needs a new co-chair in tbf

asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-07#1934477 << archaeological find. manufacturer was 1 of the 2 castles where sovok built nukes , accelerators, related hardware.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-07 02:01:04 mircea_popescu: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-06#1934257 << there's a lot of cvasi-effort/idle pullulation in the wanna-be cloud sharply directed at "being mp on the cheap". he figures he'll be cool if he says that, which is why he does.
asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-07#1934474 << but, lol, actual mircea_popescu never says anyffin of the kind -- always gives concrete barf when finds bug. so why then.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-07 01:28:50 mircea_popescu: anyway, biosacks only need names if they're about to log here. both hanbot an' nicoleci are on, and so far what you lot wanna use them for is rather punching bags, from experience, so i don't see the urgency in naming anyone else.
asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-07#1934457 << in orig q i was thinking 'does this personage correspond to a wot key', prolly oughta have said concretely. ( if mircea_popescu had revealed the chix's human name, this would not have meant anyffin to asciilifeform et al )
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-07 00:55:08 mircea_popescu: call that P. meanwhile output, or productivity, is expressed as a different scalar, call it W.

hanbot: btw, since i have your ear: is the harappan reference a nod to all its extant scripts being very short?
hanbot: 'cause it seems you reliably get exactly the kinda "camp follower" that goes along with girls; some angry old dude comes to trilema like *once*, leaves rambling comment, dissipates back into the biomass.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-07 01:24:56 mircea_popescu: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-08-29#1931863 << keks, so what, i been talking of harems &c for a decade+, yet peeps been just assuming i'm fantasizing or something ?
hanbot: speaking of http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-07#1934455 lulz: wasn't that chick from the same Evanston, IN mentioned in ye oddball spam?
mircea_popescu: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-07#1934485 << poor alf, prolly been trying to wake up since six hours ago
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-06 22:50:06 asciilifeform: trinque: i found , when experimented, that you have just about half minute! to answer their ping
mircea_popescu: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-06#1934414 << prolly a baked in fixnum from the days of the ancients no current scriptkiddy can touch. i say this because the identify nick response also 30 seconds.
mircea_popescu: but, what ca you do. i wasn't an adult in the 80s.
mircea_popescu: aaanyways, uk is dissolved almost entirely, yes 1980s thatcher's uk would have fucking imploded if we did something like this ; whereas 2020s may uk... well... just look at the whole eu debacle, they're a joke.
mircea_popescu: funeriu was pretty boiled back then.
mircea_popescu: well, surety's for the grave. but anyways.
diana_coman: I would surely hope so; though you know, seeing how the bac data stuff went with those concerned focusing on "why are you doing this??" and ~nothing else, I wouldn't even be sure of anything.
mircea_popescu: basically, we've been diligently building vapors over the years. looking for a spark.
mircea_popescu: and you know, if we manage to get this going, it then follows, in-yo-face, angry "your college is wasting your money" billboards, 100% all in scanda.

ossabot: Logged on 2019-09-07 09:59:41 mircea_popescu: still, this is definitely a vulnerable / sore spot in the imperial "clothing for nude emperors" pile.
diana_coman: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-09-07#1934740 - possibly also added lolz just because of a. UK's pride and joy in "educational services" b. the whole roar re tuition and funding
ossabot: Logged on 2019-09-07 09:50:36 mircea_popescu: the idea is to fuck them up, not to politely ignore them.
diana_coman: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-09-07#1934724 - fwiw I think this is actually a reasonably good description - I tend to politely ignore, yes.
diana_coman: so I'll look up further and figure it out re recognised status and all that too.
diana_coman: I'm at least curious about it for sure; and somehow over the years, no matter where and how I turned around, sooner or later (usually sooner) I *still* end up touching on the educational sector, what can I say more.
mircea_popescu: still, this is definitely a vulnerable / sore spot in the imperial "clothing for nude emperors" pile.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: the uk has a boatload of various tests and things; not fully aligned (from my current knowledge of the domain, admiteddly limited)
mircea_popescu fully expects the attempt will discover pile of debris muchly similar to http://ossasepia.com/2019/09/02/ossabot-and-its-flask-of-python-27-on-centos-6/ (and not necessarily any happy ending). but -- at least it'd be in writing.
mircea_popescu: fucking trivial to make a few kids ace those, they're written by bugmen for bugmen.
mircea_popescu: i expect the uk has bologna mandated standardized testing, yes ?
mircea_popescu: let them dissonance over it.
mircea_popescu: then you get to go to regional teacher's conferences on the strength of "best in the country" but on a platform of "rape and pillage".
mircea_popescu: c) we don't take your elder sons/merit-washed eromenoi, fuck off, this is only for nazi kids.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, the idea is to have the #1 college in the uk for whatever specialty of your choice simultaneously a) 0 tuition ; b) "we don't take your govt scrip here" ie off their bezzle circuit and
diana_coman: the point is to be able to give degrees they can't ignore/wave away , for stuff which is ours and as such probably mostly at odds with their ideas?
diana_coman: so let me see if I get the idea right:
diana_coman: I have trouble reasoning in terms of status coming from them, that's where I stumbled
mircea_popescu: you ain't getting a physical building without status, though, what sense'd that make ?
diana_coman: hm, I can see that point too
mircea_popescu: the idea is to fuck them up, not to politely ignore them.
diana_coman: pretty much; the only missing bit is a physical building.
diana_coman: basically: whether one has their stamp; I'd rather NOT have it tbh.
mircea_popescu: well, if we're not getting that, then we could just make a college by deedbot.
diana_coman: to cite from gov.uk "if your degree is not from an officially recognised UK university or college, there's no guarantee it'll count when you're looking for a job" ; i.e. whether you are within the system or not, the way I read it.
mircea_popescu: what's the latter about ?
mircea_popescu: could just as well make one of those and make it small but excellent. use it to terribly disturb the statu quo, because it obviously goes against everything they've tacitly agreed upon
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: there are 2 aspects: 1. whether you want to apply for bezzle 2. whether you want "recognised status"
mircea_popescu: the idea is to exploit the socialism poverty hole. all sorta community colleges / 2 year technical colleges in ruralia would take ~anyone, including ~any soccer mom with a degree as a teacher.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, my thinking is that if you don't apply for bezzle, then it could perhaps be lightweight, easy to get.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-09-07 04:33:10 mircea_popescu: diana_coman, his idea might be good, actually. what's the uk requirements for starting a private college ?
diana_coman: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-09-07#1934570 - after a first look, it seems to me that it all depends on the degree to which one cares about "the system"; personally I don't care and don't even want to make the venture "caring" but to know what I'm looking for: are their notions (eg of "degrees") of any interest at all?
mircea_popescu: me sitting around all day playing about takes a lot of fucking work.
diana_coman: ah, that I can fully believe indeed.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, yeah, if she ever gets a free minute. which she currentrly does, today, and otherwise last happened... um. pretty sure it was june
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-06 22:48:16 asciilifeform: iirc mircea_popescu surveyed, and found that it was some laffably small #
diana_coman: hm, I recall some illustrations hanbot made on a trilema article - fwiw I think she can draw actually.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-06 22:43:49 trinque: heh, this place needs a cartoonist so bad
