mircea_popescu: i'm using
the name
to represent
the corruption. you know who sets it, usg agents set it. and for
the obvious why.
mircea_popescu: and
this is how i'll end up hittign
the rum at six in
the fucking morning.
mircea_popescu: are bad literature. but
there's a
tremendous difference between letting
them do just
that and
trying
to force
them
to act in your badly written,
tendentious bit of fanfic (with bowdlerized bits lifted from shakespeare and mark
twain, just like
the sad bits of processed fruit
that made
their way in your granola).
mircea_popescu: there's a rather
tremendous difference between ella fitzgerald caring about her basket for no reason anyone could comprehend ; and a
twentysomething pantsuided aide with 0 sexual experience and owing money coming up with "these are
the four
things
THAT COULD BE, i spent a whole five minutes
thinking
through
the "metaphysics" of "life" and
this is what came out so
therefore!1". yes, on
their own devices people live lives
that
mircea_popescu: deck's got it fucking all, max aoe, max dps, defense buff, you name it! and don't fucking go "wtf is all
this dumb shit" because
that's self-radicalizing!!11
mircea_popescu: do you wanna be a kimkardashialladin or a meganfoxarrior ? or perhaps a
transgenderogue ?
mircea_popescu: today it's "here's a deck of representational
trading cards, pick one
to
think you are, and we'll be reprersenting...
the card!!! and
therefore (?!?!?) you".
☟︎ mircea_popescu: back in 1938
THIS
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjJry0vhHj4 was a fucking
thing. why ? i have no idea, because a black woman lost her fucking basket. who cares, what difference does it make ? i dunno, none
that anyone can discern. NEvERTHELESS!!!!!
there she is. she's
there. with her stupid basket
that only could possibly matter
to her. yes, "and half a million black women entirely indistinguishable from her", but
this as a
mircea_popescu: somehow
the fact
that i can make
the phones ( or solar panels, or fridges/cars/whateverelse) read absolutely anything i wish while
the poor fuckers supposedly so represented have exactly 0 recourse and 0 alternative is of no concern ; meanwhile
the deeply inept conclave of imbeciles is happy and patting each other on
the back ebcause hey,
they stole a botnet! worth 2-3mn ie nothing! IT WAS ALL WORTH IT!!11
mircea_popescu: huge fucking loss in human control over human affairs, and meanwhile
the idiots are sitting around worrying about "Evil ai". hey, guess what, you don't need
the ai
to fuck you over.
mircea_popescu: yeah. see, in 1617
the clerk interesterd could go ask
the peasants, and if nobody did it was ~an option~ of
theirs, which
they could remedy or alter.
today, pollster is going
to
talk
to peasant's phone which'll
tell him moot is
to be nytimes man of
the year, and he'll call
the observation
that inexplicably hillary clinton had no support, polls notwithstanding, "Fake news".
this is NO LONGER AN OPTION OF HIS.
trinque: that
trilema was one of
the more world-altering ones for me, where you described
that
the hierarchial social model actually gave better odds for
the lower branches
to be heard. not
that
this by itself is
the most important
thing, but rather
that look, sense works better for everyone because it is sense.
mircea_popescu: and besides, only
terrorists would notice
that moving from moderated but present inclusion of everyone
towards absolutely exclusiuon of almost everyone is no fucking improvement in public access. what, comparisons ? RACIST!!1
thinking about
things ?!!?!? MYSOGINY!!!11
mircea_popescu: same model repeating itself over and over and over again. oh,
the ancient world where slave
talked
to woman
talked
to husband
talked
to headsman
talked
to senator was humiliating and inequalitarian ? let's flatten it into a system where 1%
talk
to
the senator (1000% increase over
the 0.1% of yore!!11) and
the rest
talk into an empty
takeout box. PROGRESS!!!1
mircea_popescu: so, once
they go into
the night,
that's it. 4 concrete walls.
mircea_popescu: the options died because of
the classical giant-sits-in-chair. in
the decade intervening, bars went out of business, and people who knew how
to run a bar moved on. it's not like
the sheeple will raise up and RECONSTRUCT
THE PUB.
trinque: did
they make one? it was Blade Runner, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep in
tree form
Framedragger: trinque: sounds like a line from a
text based adventure game :)
mircea_popescu: they support
the last flimsy pretense of public participation, you realise. about half
the general population is functionally illiterate, will spend all
their social
time inthe day clucking at
the
things for literal lack of alternative options.
trinque: All
those pnojes will be lost in
time, like
tears in rain.
Time
to die.
Framedragger: <<
this one *does* apply
to everyone < 4.5 i
think
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: i don't
think so, and i
thought about linking
this,
too heh (need
to update/patch kernels if
they are < 4.5)
mircea_popescu: "* A race condition flaw was found in
the N_HLDC Linux kernel driver when accessing n_hdlc.tbuf list
that can lead
to double free. A local, unprivileged user able
to set
the HDLC line discipline on
the
tty device could use
this flaw
to increase
their privileges on
the system. (CVE-2017-2636, Important)"
ben_vulpes: 37 seconds from join
to up, just shy of
two minutes from up
to first line, ~same from first line
to quit
ben_vulpes: nobody listens
to dumb ol visual memory ben_vulpes
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: burger king
triggered
the "google home" devices' voice recognition, got
them
to blather about burger king products after
the ad roll
mircea_popescu: in other real news,
ttp://68.media.tumblr.com/0b3817c0153c0d491c757468369d371f/tumblr_omsphpjKId1tgc11ao1_1280.jpg
mircea_popescu: anyway, in other lulz,
the word is
teh russians will shoot back next
time ; should be interesting
to see if
teh us got
the ballsack.
mircea_popescu teaches girl how
to make pizza etc, now
the whole house smells like i'm in neapole.
mircea_popescu: nah,
they're just cruddier stuff. half
the
time
they don't even grow
the right way. as
they're inclined,
they get
transversal pressure either from
the bite or from
the jaw/other
teeth (which are stronger) or both.
danielpbarron: they are just harder
to reach with
the brush. if you
take
the
time
to carefully brush
them regularly
then
they should be fine. or
that's how i understand it
diana_coman: uhm, what's with
the wisdom
teeth+expected?
a111: Logged on 2017-04-12 17:13 ben_vulpes: also
this mouthwash
thing, does one really want
to nuke
the commensal population regularly?
danielpbarron:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-12#1642660 << i don't use mouthwash, brush and floss once a day (with regular non vibrating brush, and i reuse
the floss untill it splits apart or breaks) -- hadn't been
to
the dentist in over 8 years; went in last year and
they
tell me my
teeth are in great shape considering, although i did have
to get some cavities fixed (mostly in wisdom
teeth which is expected. and yes i still have my wisdom
teeth
☝︎☟︎ pete_dushenski: also eerie [brasilian style], "Couple who went ahead with
their wedding after a hitman walked in and SHOT
three relatives say
they were 'trying
to make
the best of it' but were upset 'so much food was wasted' after guests fled"
http://archive.is/W1ZOs ben_vulpes: in other eerie coincidences of manufactured life,
this coffee cup weighs about as much as
the water it holds
shinohai: didnt romans advocate
the use of urine as mouthwash?
mircea_popescu: dun seem like such a bright idea.
too much in
the vein of "fucking
this whore's great fun once a week, i know, how about she moves in!"
ben_vulpes: not a bad
thing qua itself, shows up in normal fucking foods all
the
time, but keeping a shaker of it around is Not Great
mircea_popescu: i do get
the high freq vibrating metal rod at
the dentist maybe once or
twice a year, but i never
thought of getting a bathroom version.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i don't use mouthwash, nor would i. i can feel my
tastebuds die it's horrible. i suspect usage of
the shit has a lot
to do with why us food is such
tastel;ess crap. dudes can't
taste anyway./
ben_vulpes: that last one is mostly a mystery
to me, but boost demands it
ben_vulpes: anyways, anyone playing along with c11quest may consider
the following CXXFLAGS: -std=cxx11 -DBOOST_NO_CXX11_SCOPED_ENUMS
ben_vulpes: lol mircea_popescu had story about discovering
this
the hard way, yes?
mircea_popescu: skin dun like
the procedure much. prefers slightly alcaline soap.
mircea_popescu: this sounds like it'd work,
the only problem being
that slavegirl faces'
tongues contain saliva which is actually peptic.
trinque: iirc
they've found way older corpses
than above with same, great
teeth, where was caveman's
toothbrush
trinque: I do, but I question "why?!" each
time!
ben_vulpes: what,
trinque does not wash arsehole either?
trinque: nah, and wouldn't surprise if diet has a lot more influence on mouth health
than
this brushing
thing
ben_vulpes: also
this mouthwash
thing, does one really want
to nuke
the commensal population regularly?
☟︎ ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: brushes his
teeth with an angle grinder ofc
ben_vulpes: anyways i'm in search of someone who used
the 43kHz machine for a week and
then voluntarily gave it up
mircea_popescu: "yes but
they have
these 70 gram
things at
the grocery store now"
ben_vulpes: you know i don't
think we've ever done
the "sonicare"
thread in here
ben_vulpes: trainputing is not
tortue
today, joy of joys
ben_vulpes: and i can put one foot on
the other leg's knee
today
ben_vulpes: wonder of wonders,
the sun is out and
the lawn sprouting seedlings
mircea_popescu: whole point of multi-implementation is
to have flavour.
a111: 2017-02-23 <mats> i was also stung by
the alphago bet
mircea_popescu: no argument
there. exactly what
the flavour should be however...
mircea_popescu: gotta face
the facts : logs are fragmentary ; memory is fragmentary. you won't have perfect recall for physics reasons.
