asciilifeform: it was lulzy

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: vernor vinge's 'fire upon the deep' had just this

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: write to gavin not me, l0l

asciilifeform: trinque is still thinking in his modern box where preserving things is easy, cheap, and something folks are generally fond of doing

asciilifeform: trinque: the ~other~ egyptians (today's) have zero to do with the folks who built pyramids

asciilifeform: trinque: 'wanting' wasn't enough in the age of hand-copied text

asciilifeform: but then went away for a while.

asciilifeform: e.g., archimedes had basic integral calculus

asciilifeform: i.e. forget things

asciilifeform: just as the slipless ratchet does not exist (and physically cannot. see feynman's perpetuum mobile)

asciilifeform: trinque: actually 'lisps' happen because the alternative would be a civilization that doesn't leak. and we don't have one of those to kick around

asciilifeform: jurov: it isn't in therealbitcoin

asciilifeform: jurov: i spoke of this earlier. it isn't a gavinsignal in the usual sense, but is produced by the crud where version numbers in incoming messages are averaged and compared

asciilifeform: there is so much 'to do' that you could eat with arse!

asciilifeform is rather perplexed. who, exactly, is lacking for 'what to do' ?

asciilifeform: trinque: wotnet still made of people

asciilifeform: when they can - will.

asciilifeform: that they aren't breathing $5/litre air is only a matter of technological limitations.

asciilifeform: nobody cancelled marketz!

asciilifeform: because market!

asciilifeform: google folks should prepare for the 5000/mo tents.

asciilifeform: 'Rented a tent, a tent, a tent; / Rented a tent, a tent, a tent. / Rented a tent! / Rented a tent! / Rented a, rented a tent.' -- k. vonnegut. 'sirens of titan' (1959)

asciilifeform: or hm, just irrelevant photo

asciilifeform: scam.

asciilifeform: ^ not tent

asciilifeform: well, at least rudimentarily edible

asciilifeform: and tasty

asciilifeform: genuine in the sense that 'i killed this bison myself'

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/motivation.html << re: article - see also.

asciilifeform: hilde, the she-wolf of tildeschwitz

asciilifeform owns a book with title 'the of' on the spine

asciilifeform: and pestilentially common

asciilifeform: nah that one's bog-simple anatomically

asciilifeform: (where this is sop)

asciilifeform: dog in dog

asciilifeform: but evidence for actual case of 'stuck' (in man, not dog) is approx. on par with evidence for loch ness dinosaur

asciilifeform: well yes, this is the theory

asciilifeform: ^ not same as captivus

asciilifeform never saw anything like solid evidence that said effect actually exists in man

asciilifeform: (like aluminum)

asciilifeform: didn't mircea_popescu teach us that holes work-anneal ?

asciilifeform: large unit, like farad

asciilifeform: i propose the standard unit of measure be '1 moiety'

asciilifeform: and they don't feel like answering, so we can sorta guess!

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu is really asking'em 'кто ты по жизни'

asciilifeform: of an empty post

asciilifeform: just example!

asciilifeform: it isn't

asciilifeform: without asking questions

asciilifeform: ideally, no install, just finds a block device and shits blockchain to it

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: here's an unassigned gun for some eager fella: crap out an ibmpc buildroot for therealbitcoin. as in, something one could throw in the iso slot at a datacentre

asciilifeform: turned out, the 'fold your own' thing resulted in too many (from pov of command) splats.

asciilifeform: sergeant folded.

asciilifeform: phun phakt: my father was conscripted into a parachutist regiment. and by that time (late '60s) schmucks were no longer! permitted to fold their own.

asciilifeform: of course folks often forget the other thing about the parachute thing - in sov army, they usedta make you sign it, 'i folded this parachute myself. signed, pvt. schmuck'

asciilifeform mumbles something about parachutes

asciilifeform: wat, mircea_popescu doesn't have a girl follow him around imitating clock hands with arms, legs...?!

asciilifeform: egyptian-style

asciilifeform: or buried alive with the thing

asciilifeform: and i don't have a clock (other than emacs clock) in the room either

asciilifeform: same effect here.

asciilifeform: it successfully passes for microshit product, stylistically (and in many ways functionally)

asciilifeform: not even sure what there is to ~like~ in the design

asciilifeform: if you just want it in some other dir, symlink...

asciilifeform: (wallet on separate box, z80 if you like, etc)

asciilifeform: anything short of that is waste of time

asciilifeform: wallet has to be sawn off as discussed in the past

asciilifeform: http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/bchafy/tiny/tinyterminal.html << archaeological interest

asciilifeform: (if you like thinking about scary dangerous forkz, picture changing this!)

asciilifeform: there's precisely 1 thread that does actual werk

asciilifeform: i/o

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu oughtaknowthat

asciilifeform: it doesn't parallelize

asciilifeform: (yes, they're all porcine, but which hog? the little piglet, the muscular european boar, or the half-tonne monster fucked on midwest usa farms ..?)

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: which one ?

asciilifeform: because 1) no i won't do it with bare hands 2) yes, could pay people, but i ~fucking hate people~

asciilifeform: see, i'm one of those weirdos who keeps, for instance, a computerized vacuum cleaner

asciilifeform: whatever happened to the dark future of robot slaves

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 500 buys a doghouse here. don't even want to imagine what it buys on west coast usa

asciilifeform: but munged filenames still stink

asciilifeform: jurov: you were quite right, it won't do, and i oughta have remembered this factoid

asciilifeform: jurov: yes!

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-06-2015#1179158 << it's a hash. and chopping hashes is quite possibly how we ended up on planet with phuctorable keys in the first place! ☝︎

asciilifeform: thrustcenter

asciilifeform asked this today..

asciilifeform: ;;later tell lobbes can haz the url of phuctored key preserved in bot ? ty ☟︎

asciilifeform: phoenix hotel.

asciilifeform: !b 6 ✂︎

asciilifeform: the ones for live customers in jp are a bit cushier iirc

asciilifeform: jurov: http://imgur.com/dGBgxvL << the tombs in question

asciilifeform: except that sometimes forget to wake up ☟︎

asciilifeform: got those here, works great

asciilifeform: well yes. sleep in coffin, then get up, pub.

asciilifeform: open vault, squeeze in, sleep (or watch movies on the little screen)

asciilifeform: looks sorta like the multi-'resident' mausoleums in b-a cemetery

asciilifeform: jurov: the bleeding edge of this, as i understand, is jp, where you can live in a kind of 'coffin'

asciilifeform used to do that

asciilifeform: does jurov have dishes ? ☟︎

asciilifeform: yes, you can live there...

asciilifeform: sorta like having no toilet
