decimation: plus intel keeps coming up with 'new' sse/cisc instructions that are """correct""": http://randomascii.wordpress.com/2014/01/27/theres-only-four-billion-floatsso-test-them-all/ << "A few months ago I saw a blog post touting fancy new SSE3 functions for implementing vector floor, ceil, and round functions. There was the inevitable proud proclaiming of impressive performance and correctness. However the ceil function gave the wrong
BingoBoingo: So I guess he fails the consistency criteria.
devthedev: I haven't spoken to him for about 2 weeks.
BingoBoingo: cazalla: I am skimming the #b-a periphery though for the hungry and not malinformed. So far I've found 1 candidate. I might find another.
cazalla: although i guess jborkl is consistent, i feels bad for him
devthedev: I'm 15 and a Junior currently taking mostly AP classes.
devthedev: I'm not sure what I'd do if someone followed me into the stall, probably wouldn't be too pretty though.
asciilifeform: i demand that my dismembered corpse, when time comes, be stowed in a crate no worse than this one!
decimation: wow. I thought the problem with buying usg surplus is that you have to buy a pallet

cazalla: i can't think of any notable website starting with tr
kakobrekla: to find out i got locked out by ddos protection.
BingoBoingo: <cazalla> would you suggest latest wordpress ver or reverting to an older one? i have not used it much since 2.x << Maybe MP can lend WordPress insights. I just kind of start with current and kill obnoxious defaults. For a news site though you probably want a new enough version to have decent multiuser handling.
kakobrekla: i was in the middle of bbet maintenance when suddenly everything stopped working
cazalla: would you suggest latest wordpress ver or reverting to an older one? i have not used it much since 2.x
cazalla: i use to use thesis for my wordpress sites though
BingoBoingo: cazalla: From the start I will be willing to contribute articles.
cazalla: i figure modelling it after coinfire without all the silliness would be a start, see if i stick at it longer than a few months and then maybe bring some more people on board

nubbins`: feet (2) + ballhair (800) + ...oh, i see.
BingoBoingo: Oh, I thought you were going to do something annilingus related there
mircea_popescu: incidentally, re jurov's rats : i wonder what happens once "they" finally figure out a) how to induce headaches with RF economically and b) get the social media profiling fine enough. search for bad words on google ? headache, stfu.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I'm guessing she returned here and continued conversation
jurov: i refuse to investigate further

kakobrekla: i hope she is getting paid
hanbot: <mircea_popescu> hanbot: lol punkman. financial aid dorm, now with free cams. << shit, didn't i come up with that idea like 5 years ago ? << but you forgot to make intellectual property dorm :D (srsly tho, i'd forgotten meanwhile)
nubbins`: when i was in colombia, i had dinner with a german scuba instructor. he said "if you needed to study and pass a test to be a boat captain in Taganga, there would be no boat captains in Taganga"
nubbins`: <+mircea_popescu> i've never seen anyone with more free time than south americans. << lel
mircea_popescu: i've never seen anyone with more free time than south americans.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: hanbot: you were not mistaken in figuring that i'm one of the people weighed down by addiction to luxuries. but the only luxury i really give a damn about is free time. <<< this is so funny.
mircea_popescu: xanthyos: basically i think they never intended a 5 btc freeroll, they were hoping to sign up a lot of a ccounts in the run-up to a big freeroll, and hope that some account generators would then deposiot << what a great way to start something
mircea_popescu: shit i put vinegar on my shirt ;/

mircea_popescu: hanbot: lol punkman. financial aid dorm, now with free cams. << shit, didn't i come up with that idea like 5 years ago ?
mircea_popescu: punkman: I think the university should just film everything, help them pay off that debt <<< you sound like motherfucking mp.

nubbins`: mircea_popescu http://i.imgur.com/031PbFll.jpg
mircea_popescu: well, brb, i need a drink
BingoBoingo: mats_cd03: >> white last names with greatest likelihood: Yoder 98.1% Krueger 97.1% Mueller 97% Koch 96.9% schwartz 96.8% novak 96.8% schneider 96.7% schroeder 96.7% haas 96.7% << I've met 8 of these surnames
hanbot: eh i guess they didn't (searching turns up some delightful headlines however, incl. "Rx Generic Viagra - The Parrot Liberation Front"). anyway, i suppose he's free to die trying.
thickasthieves: the problem i have is that i think it's okay to be free enough to do nothing all the time
thickasthieves: i wouldnt put it that way ascii, but sure
asciilifeform: hanbot: naturally, i, and everything alive, would rather have ininite pony and pay with - nothing. but thermodynamics disagrees.
hanbot: so if i'm condensing this correctly, you want time in which to not be told what to do (free time), for which you must pay with an overarching adherence to what you're told to do (living in us)?
asciilifeform: hanbot: you were not mistaken in figuring that i'm one of the people weighed down by addiction to luxuries. but the only luxury i really give a damn about is free time.
danielpbarron: i like being tired at the end of the day; it's the all-year-long monotony of "conventional" jobs that I loath
asciilifeform: hanbot: mircea_popescu was once puzzled why people will break their backs to make pennies 'while they sleep.' i always understood why.
asciilifeform: hanbot: if i had to do a conventional 'job', with physical movement and shifts, the kind that actually leaves you tired at the end of a day - that'd be much like prison.
xanthyos: basically i think they never intended a 5 btc freeroll, they were hoping to sign up a lot of a ccounts in the run-up to a big freeroll, and hope that some account generators would then deposiot
xanthyos: i can afford to go bust, i'm not going all in
xanthyos: i do, but i'm going long term
danielpbarron: i don't think the price will go much lower than 380
xanthyos: someone on tinychat tried to sell me btc, i set a price 5% under spot and was ready to buy, thesy stlled me out for hours, then said they changed their mind
hanbot: ah, so not an issue of "can't" then, but of not being worth it? well that's perfectly sound. most people i talk to about leaving the us are on the "can't" wagon.
asciilifeform: hanbot: it isn't really a 'profession structure' in my case. yes, for some people, 'i'm a lawyer and without that i'm nothing, where's my pistol' etc. these folks dropped like flies in '90s russia, say. but i'm more of - 'if i can move across the sea, but have to work as shoemaker in a cellar for 12h day, instead of 'turning the right screw' here in usa, why do i need to buy plane ticket? i can do the shoemaker th
BingoBoingo: ;;later tell mats_cd03 I'll prolly have a list soon
hanbot: asciilifeform well that's cool, gotta work with what you've got and all. if what you've got is profession-dictated structure, then sure, i can see it. it's an uncomfortable thought but at some point it may become necessary to weigh the importance of that structure against the importance of freedom.
asciilifeform: i should probably point out that unlike many people i know in usa, i'm generally more interested in aggregate free time than usual luxuries. this gives me a somewhat perverse incentive structure.
asciilifeform: hanbot: i can only speak for myself, really, but i do have a fairly solid picture of what kind of life folks with profession similar to my own live, in various parts of the world, and how much sweat they must sweat, vs. i at my duties, and so forth.
punkman: asciilifeform: what the hell do I know, I'm far away
