mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> i see box where i can't ban ip
as ~useless << why the heck.
trinque: this was why "apu2"
as standard example box
trinque: what I'd oppose is say, "and what if folks want to use it
as a router, or NAS, or hair-net"
trinque: perhaps. you see firewalling
as superior to shipping with "nothing but ssh shall be listening, and if you change this, caveat luser" ?
trinque a little sad to find the thing's neutered, but the updated infectious genbootstrap will work
as well on the other, or any other device with kernel module tweaking
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well, chomski is getting out of usa about
as much
as gromyko
mircea_popescu: chomsky is, also, for opening bids, the only guy who pointed out what mp pointed out re joe stack. yes his version of "sops, you're cutting the branch you're sitting on" is neither
as cogent, articulated, useful or descriptive
as mine. but this is because he is old, comparatively stupid and comparatively uncultured.
mircea_popescu: ause it's online and we gotta compete on wordage''' items about current event which i'ma misrepresent
as somewhow related to me really really hating the chomsky guy i really look up to for the reasons i actually look up to him, notwithstanding the whole pile exists only in my too-lazy-to-actually-read and too-eager-to-imagine-i-got-it-at-first-sentence''' dumber-than-rocks '''child prodigy''' head"

fbar: An oath given freely is worth
as much
BingoBoingo: Or the wonderlands where tractor dealerships co-exist with car dealerships in a ratio that sometimes drops
as low
as 4/5
mircea_popescu: not for years. about
as relevant
as being mentioned in the subway.
mod6: yah, same
as both alf and I too.
mircea_popescu: this DOESN'T constitute some sort of misandrism, and it's NOT time to change the laws to you know, punish more girly shit ? how about 5 years in jail for watching netflix without a partner, speaking in a shirll tone, being fat or being obnoxious ? and striking male crimes suck
as you know, fucking, from the books ?
mircea_popescu: "Mix a can of Cherry Dr. Pepper with instant coffee, cocoa, cappuccino mix, a carton of milk, and some leftover sugar packets to make a drink that tastes
as close to cognac
as you will get in prison."
mircea_popescu: see, alfie ? social behaviour. the dude will gladly state a nonsense to the outgroup (us) to gratify the ingroup. he's not even a part of it notably, but he aspires to see himself and hopes to be seen by us
as if he were.
mircea_popescu: if your theory of man had any feet, solitary confinment weren't regarded
as the mother of all torture. physiologically, people lose their minds. maybe you or i wouldn't care, or maybe we think so in our ridiculous, adolescentine misapprehension. but this anecdote doesn't do much.
mircea_popescu: us environment threats, such
as you know, other civilisations, volcanoes and aliens landing is entirely up for grabs. these points make the good/bad adequate/inadequate distinction, not whether the "inmates" "like" it in their "hearts of hearts". for one thing they're not inmates, lacking the capacity of outmating ; for the other thing they can't like and for the third they've no heart of hearts.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-09#1653759 << no, no. the sad fact of the matter is that what people want is without exception stupid and harmful. not even one, both. a functional civilisation provides people with a good story
as to why they're getting something other than what they want. whether what they actually get happens to also be a) what they actually need,
as opposed to $random ; b) actually competitive with the vario
☝︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform actually the premise for civilisation competing with dope od is finally here. prior to recently, the dorks were still needed for muscular power -- first, brute, then, finely controled by a cns, primitive
as it was.
BingoBoingo: WoT coupled with handshakes is all that remains
as opposed to the time where WoT was also coupled with BitBet
a111: Logged on 2015-04-07 00:10 mircea_popescu: just like having a car doesn't alow having gasoline. it's true that often people who have cars also independently have gasoline, but the two are fundamentally unrelated, and there is such a thing
as the fool's breakdown, ie, car's outta gas on the side of hte road.
mircea_popescu: "In future, it would be great if I could just accept any old patch, from any urbit down to the merest comet,
as long
as it was sealed by ~zod. In general, I would find it comfortable, knowing that everything my urbit was running was a collection of patches, each of which had a signature, or a chain of them, originating in the urbit claiming authorship of that patch." << wtf.
mircea_popescu: honestly, i was hoping for something more along the lines of, "trayvon martin, the idle hoodlum who tried to beat up the wrong guy and got it
as a result has finally received a less idiotic name. he's going to be exhumed and reburied
as travis martin later this week"
mircea_popescu: "i have nfi what receptive member of a sexuate species would want to "experience sex" rather than run
as fast
as legs would carry in opposite direction."
a111: Logged on 2017-05-08 21:25 asciilifeform: i for one have nfi why anybody at this point would want to 'experience american', rather than run
as fast
as his legs would carry him, in opposite direction.

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-08#1653599 << happened all through south america. it's not "considered food" i nthe sense that "it's expensive", and they have some vague intuition
as to the whole "in parismadrid they go to mcdo to experience american -- and SO DO WE111" ; however they are poor and cheap food is cheap food and they have local shitholes that "invented foccacia" sell them "pizza" or whatever, produced according t
☝︎ mircea_popescu: there's this automatic "judge human mass by the mass" mental process, visible here, visible when new guy was going "oh, capitalism will end because most people are spurious",
as fucking if.
phf`: when i was growing up, mcdonalds was a place where you go to get a milkshake before going out. nobody ever thought about it
as food, because people cooked at home and still do. i noticed this in paris this time, how similar mcdonalds is, that it's not food and not treated
as such. it's a place where you go to experience american. if there was going to be qualitative jump where bulk of population considers mcdonalds primary source of nutrients, i suspe
mircea_popescu: teach the uppity poor to read and write
as an escape from the hanging, they'll be penning subversive treatises about asking condolezza and her 5000 sister conclave.
phf`: asciilifeform:
as opposed to wat, make sure to consult condoleezza and her 5000 sister spawn?
mircea_popescu:
as you use it, i gather.
as the historical element, not so much.
phf`: will of lord
as in "don't go hunting in my forest"
mircea_popescu:
as per that resounding "n-am vazut niciodata hot mai prost decit prostu' care se vrea hot"
mircea_popescu:
as opposed to turkey, then pinky and thumb touch, other thumb touches nose.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform gotta love the folx who buy 12-cyl mazeratis to go REALLYREALLYFAST!!! between same red lights
as the toyota goes << oh i had the lulz of all time with this yest. so we were coming back, in cab. on other side, porsche SUV! black! dude just peels off like crazy, in the middle of the night. i go "hey, i think he won" and dun think more of it. till... guess who's lined up at next stop ? oh, us and them. so i turn a
gizmolearner: After many years of slow growth, AI is currently looking to be on an unstoppable path. If a machine that costs $.25 an hour to run can out think a person who costs $50 an hour. What should the people do? Capatilism says the machines should win the jobs. So no you have factories and things that require almost no people, but still produce
as much
as ever. And a lot of unemployable people.
mircea_popescu: they'll just get cooked
as per swift's cookbook and that's the last anyone'll ever hear of them.
gizmolearner: I think in the not so far future most poeple will be obsolete, so capatlisim is out. If machines can outthink and outwork the average person that is a lot of redundant people. On the plus side, the world would still be producing
as much
as ever. So what do we do ? Try socialsim again?
gizmolearner: Even starting engineers make more than I did
as a CTO for startups 10 years ago
mircea_popescu: oh, for my own curiosity,
as an anon data point : would you say spending a few years mid career working for failed start-ups makes one more money than working for corp ? less ? ~same ?
mircea_popescu: gizmolearner "used to do security software"
as in, anonymously ?
mircea_popescu: seems rather like the whole nic-dma combo is being fortified
as a wolf's last stand. i guess they expect ot lose cpus (to the chinese).
mircea_popescu: "the password should be just
as long
as the password presented was, wut, problem???".
a111: Logged on 2017-05-08 13:04 asciilifeform: gizmolearner: theoretically you can attach probe to any (but the latest, crippled) amd cpu using a 'socket interposer' that sandwiches under the chip. but
as to where to get it -- no one seems to know.
mircea_popescu: being born to a stupid mother and inheriting her stupid tongue is a heavy burden indeed,
as it turns out.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-08#1652989 << no, i have no objection to it being incomprehensible, it strikes me
as nutty also. perhaps a major part of the explanation is that whenever i don't remember something i just pick a girl who likely doesn't know it, ask her about it, and when she doesn't know it she gets ordered to research it. another part of it, maybe even larger, is that the stuff that actually interests me isn't

as per ro traditionz.
☝︎ gizmolearner: Yeah would have been really quickly if it wasn't buried in compressed code. Instead it's in years of BIOS's and basically gives remote
as if local root access.

ben_vulpes: "they will drink it at whatever speed i choose
as well" my popesculator says
ben_vulpes: nobody i know is so tasteless
as to waste good wine like that.
trinque: no no this was the bottom tier shit nissan; I'm cheap
as fuck
mircea_popescu: anyway, i guess this gets classified
as /mp finally figures out what top loading washer is, likes it.
ben_vulpes: "new tax"
as in tax for buying goods new
ben_vulpes: you say "stupid rotating faraday cage thing, horizontal",
as in a front-loading washer?

as well?
ben_vulpes: junkies, minorities groups imported
as refugees within the last decade, whatever.
ben_vulpes: way the heck upstack; BingoBoingo i have determined that "crack-o-my-ass" county late summer county fair has a talent competition, gospel competition, but
as far
as i've bothered to look so far, no amateur ag competition
BingoBoingo: Anyways, the most reliable treatment for addiction is conversion therapy (i.e. removing the obsession through a spiritual experience), this requires
as a prerequisite a "rock bottom" experience. Adversity is the kindest thing you can offer.
BingoBoingo: It's the same
as alf's squirrel fixation. The junkie in the throes of addiction is a pest control problem.
ben_vulpes: probably same pharma abuse rates
as anywhere else
