lobbes: I
try
to space my mdma experiences between several years even
Framedragger: (unless you're a british raveboy who does it every weekend and
then complains of "memory problems" years later. plennnnty of
these here)
Framedragger: (required disclaim re mdma: one has
to do
the homework, understand basics of serotonin syndrome (oxidation => damage of serotonin synapses), do it *very* infrequently (if at all), etc.)
Framedragger agrees re "heroin as retirement plan". doesn't plan
to
try opioids before ~60, even
shinohai: I never get
tired of
that one ....
There is a version somewhere
that
the NY Philharmonic butchered by performing a bit
too presto for my
taste.
Framedragger: i
think
the simile of "lsd is like being given a coredump" is apt (actually heard
this from an opioid affictionado). you're sorta-given-all-the-data, but
then what. mdma on
the other hand is in-between a psychedelic (you still get
that psychedelic experience,
to a point) and a stimulant (which in its case acts as "guidance", of sorts).
mircea_popescu: you'd expect pop icon of
the 80s can afford nuclear grade pure samples.
lobbes: Mdma may be
the right prescription for em' although many are cut with amphetamines. "The day after blues" can hit hard
lobbes: Lsd, on
the other hand, can make one more paranoid
lobbes: Trappings of power vs power I imagine. "Ah shit, can't relax, can't sleep. Ah
this mellows shit out"
mircea_popescu: in fact,
the cogent argument re heroin is
that any usage pattern from which you woke up is abuse.
the correct way
to use it is
the way chinese use it, as a retirement plan.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-04 13:18 mircea_popescu: anyone got a
theory ?
shinohai: What is
that, a Soviet block glory hole?
mircea_popescu: for a while was
the cheapest way
to get wordpress minds on
their own space.
shinohai: I don't
think I've ever used Cpanel at any point in my internet life.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: people from
the future will look at
these boneheaded decades incomprehendingly. never before, and i expect never after, has so much business been destroyed by "really passionate" imbeciles "who wanted
to".

the intel nics - vs. 'apu1', with realtek) ,
turns out, is crippled, hdt probe barfs with it,
the cpu is reputed
to have a drm fuse set.
mircea_popescu: when is
this schmuck getting prosecuted for his "foundation" scam ?
shinohai: Perhaps
they don't have
the Bitcoin or Chinese connections
to purchase Carfentanil
mircea_popescu: think, if only you had
taken
the day
to do
that, you'd have saved mod6 a week of fiddling, for a net gain of 6 days for
the republic.
mircea_popescu: wtf is with all
these obnoxious 80s media items doing heroin anyway ?
a111: Logged on 2017-05-04 10:14 phf: afaik gnat is built as part of gcc, i.e. it's one of possible artifacts produced during gcc suite compilation, so you shouldn't have a situation of non matching versions, and if you do it's most likely not going
to work right.
the easiest approach is
to build matching gcc/gnat into
their own directory structure, and change PATH when you're working with gnat projects. i
think package managers going
the other way and
try and carefully match gcc/gnat
mircea_popescu: this whole "oh, someone else snuck in and shot my wife, didn't bother
to fuck her before or after, nothing" is such lulz. who
the fuck is going
to shoot a woman,
the husband himself can't be arsed most of
the
time.
mircea_popescu: tl;cba - dude shot his wife in
the head, ran off
to argentina, is not being extradited and likes
to claim
that it's because he has sept 11 proofs!!1
a111: Logged on 2017-05-03 23:16 mircea_popescu: "passions" for you know, "technology", "the ocean" and "music". because
that's how
this fucking works,
there's a large jar called "passions" and you pick m&m's from
there.
they're all
the fucking same.
mircea_popescu: it's almost as if everyone agrees itsucks for
the nodes,
they got no fee market, except for
the miners, who go "hey, at least
they ain't got a market!11"
mircea_popescu: it's still one for
the ages,
to observe
the people for whom
the market exists in
the first place squirm like
they were visited with flaming salt ffs.
mircea_popescu: yes
the current miners elbowed
themselves atop a larger set who
tried
to mine, over years, somehow. but
this does not mean
they're anything but a bunch of idempotent
tards.
mircea_popescu: it's a little like giving an A
to
the kid who's
top of
the mongoloid class, forgetting for some reason
that even if he floated
to
the
top, he still floated
to
the
top of a sewer and consequently is still a
turd, fundamentally.
mircea_popescu: in short :
the fundamental error at
the base of
the currently deployed bitcoin prototype is
the nonsensical proposition
that observed competence correlates with actual competence, rather
than being just accidental happenstance.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-03 21:26 mircea_popescu: soooo...
the unconfirmed rumour is
that
the chinese govt is drawing up plans
to make bitcoin a strategic commodity, making it illegal for private citizens
to hold it / buy
their holdings at
the "prevailing market rates" (ie, 1kish_
a111: Logged on 2017-05-03 23:04 ben_vulpes: heh it'd be funny if a)
the fiduciary rule had stuck and b) if someone had brought suit against coinbase/kraken for pushing penny stocks
mircea_popescu: apparently every imbecile is firmly convinced
the warm embrace of some sort of "consensus" fiatism is going
to
treat him better
than any possible marketplace.
mircea_popescu: who could have predicted
that
the people supposedly served by
the market in question are
the first
to
try and break it ?
mircea_popescu: amusingly it improved significantly right after i said
that. coincidental, i'm sure,. and not
to last, obviously.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-03 19:43 mircea_popescu: (andpool, as usual,
the worst offender.)
a111: Logged on 2017-05-03 19:41 mircea_popescu: meanwhile
the chinos seem
to have completely given up on
tx priority by fee.
there's 20 sat/B items included,
there's 200 sat/B item waiting for hours in
the pool, it's a complete, ridiculous mess.

trinque: unrelatedly hey asciilifeform, got an apu2?
mircea_popescu: what could possibly go wrong! some idiots will flock
to it, if it makes a blob large enough
they'll be "too big
to fail" and if it doesn't maybe it attracts
the attention of a slightly larger blob looking
to accrete specs of stupid
to grow.
mircea_popescu: made by
the people
that also made
the anal orifice ethereum got raped
through ?
shinohai: We don't know
the
technical details behind it either, but hey!
shinohai: "Our mobile application enables anyone
to benefit from a platform secured by proven cryptographic principles without knowing
the
technical details behind it"
shinohai: Also, still pretending
that Ethereum is "Immutable" apparently.
mircea_popescu: point fucking remains : people who "just want
to" "creative" and be relieved from
the need
to math are fundamentally stupid people who will never do anything but make
trouble for
their betters, and who essentially aim
to burn your house down
to make marshmellows in
the blaze.
mircea_popescu: yes, it sounds way
the fuck better in
the abstract (if you're clueless, entirely devoid of either experience, any faculty for
thought and any inclination
to resolve either). but it's
the same god damned
thing --
the desire of "visual
thinkers"
to introduce new glyphs in
the alphabet so
they don't get "constrained" in
their "creativity" by
the present set exactly mirrors
the need of
the house fly
to get some garbage going so i
mircea_popescu: compare and contrast "Production can only be carried out successfully by managers who want
to make
things, and not just
to make money." from
the marxist idiot masquerading as an economist with
the "We
thought we were ready, but
then everyone arrived.
The
team was overwhelmed.
The airport was jam packed.
The buses couldn’t handle
the load." of
the very manager he's
talking about, passionate of "the ocean" and "technology" bu
mircea_popescu: this "stupid signalling" approach explains 100% of
the activity of
the idiots.
shinohai: Not surprisingly,
the main "investor" here is coinbase founder Fred Ehrsam.
mircea_popescu: goes right back
to
that discussion re spam, "oh how could anyone expect
to sell something when
they can't even spell". except he's not
trying
to do anything other
than signal
to other dumbasses, "hey, here's dumbassery".
they
then merge.
that's all
that's going on
there.
mircea_popescu: most of
the activity of
the stupid is channeled
to
this "constructing
the dogvomit" activity. it's not like "oh, stupid did something stupid, it dun work." it's always "stupid did something
to signal
to stupids
that didn't happen
to have other effects".
mircea_popescu: basically
the reason we keep ending up with
the empire of stupid "running
things" instead of
the republic of
the smart, is because smart people look at stupid people and can
tell
they're stupid, and
then imagine
this means something. it does, in some places. in other places it does not :
the stupid can still recognize
the stupid and band
together.
mircea_popescu: not really. more because octopus arm gotta signal its attachment
to octopus so
the other worms know what's what.
shinohai: Because naturally
the shit doesn't work yet.

mircea_popescu: "Firms’ investment decisions,
then, don’t depend on current earnings or credit conditions;
they depend on whether management can propose projects with high enough returns
to convince shareholders
to leave “their” money inside
the firm." << get a load of
that. quotes. not around "workers" and not around "our" democracy. but around "their" money.
mircea_popescu: "It’s a bit like
the homeowners “using
their houses as ATMs” during
the 2000s, except
that
the shareholders don’t get stuck with
the mortgage payments.
The businesses’ workers and customers get
to share
the pain."
mircea_popescu: "maximum return" for shareholders and other gems of
the soviet state.

ben_vulpes: endless lulzrabbit hole,
this: "I seriously considered quitting
the industry in 1997 when Apple Computer was concluding its acquisition of NeXT. Imagine if
