ben_vulpes: sadly,
as i was not present, i only got to deliver the tongue-lashings for not delivering tongue-lashings.
mircea_popescu: nah, ~same
as php. processes strings to spit out on a gui.
Framedragger msg'd vc about #t presence and whether he's interested,
as of now he's not considering offering dedi boxes tho, it seems
Framedragger:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-05#1652129 << and yeah this is PROBABLY the way to get burned. asciilifeform imagined the archiver
as a "public whore prostitute", a box which can be exposed to exploits and malware, but that's even more dirty. (that said, may be the way to go.)
☝︎ fromloper: I have NDA access, so I have slightly better documentation (but still shit and incomplete). Business decision. Intel only because that's where 95% of the market is. Also easier to do security research on ME and AMT if you can step through, which needs JTAG
as well.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: which incidentally is the ACTUAL golden rule. forget zamak that usually passes for it in the mouths of slaves. the rule is, "do so
as to not come to regret doing."
mircea_popescu: really, it's everyone's own and arbitrary job to keep the thing running in such a way
as to not come to regret it later.
phf`: oh i agree, i just thought an irc bouncer
as an empty shell painted to look like the owner is amusing, or perhaps an aging lord dosing off
mircea_popescu: well, you always gotta strike a balance. if you keep people physically in a room to listen to what you say
as youi say it, they will go mad. they're present in a specific sort of ghost form.
mircea_popescu: shmucky mcschmuckson has the utmost respect for us
as novel writers, note.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the reddit commoner existed in the time of orwell just
as well.
mircea_popescu: on the strenght of the text
as it is could just
as well been guywith molotov for the same money.
trinque: will want to consider that
as he puts things where
BingoBoingo: <shinohai> So there is this chick that calls herself "Lil Wafarin" on twitter sent me a message. When I casually asked why she chose rat poison
as her nom de guerre, she goes ballistic. << BwAHAHAHAHAHAH

mircea_popescu: actually, that's the principal distinction between "matter" and "energy"
as intuitively understood. matter sticks around. energy does not.
danielpbarron: the effects of this weapon go on long after it
as been deactivated. there was a building near the WTC that suffered minimal damage and was repaired, only to be demolished months later because the structure rotted. the metal looked
as if it had been submerged in the ocean for a century
mircea_popescu: you can't really cold-fuse water's hydrogens, because the tightly bound oxygen works
as a sort of equivalent of a moderator.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron i take the laser because notwithstanding the ample lossage generally discussed
as "slope efficiency", photon beams are the most efficient em "weapons". actual ion beams are even worse than the 3-5%ish laser. so you know, someone somewhere had to burn 50 TJ or so to deliver the same effect, plus whatever the intervening air ate up. you know how air looks if traversed by a TJ laser ?
mircea_popescu: well yes,
as a matter of fact i keep doing that math. it keeps coming up here, about how a liter of gasoline is 1.5 MJ and there ain't no electric battery even come close etc.
mod6: and that's the main thing. i really care about trying to fit it in head,
as opposed to "compiler" concerns at this time with ffa. however, my other little sample shits i've been trying to make are probably going to go a lot better now that i have a 'sane' environment.
ben_vulpes: taking
as a given that more insured ===== better
phf: this is
as heavy handed
as soviet propaganda used to be. photographer dies during training accident, "heroic womens dies in war, we salute all the heroic womens in war, and call a photography honor after heroic womens!1"
Framedragger agrees re "heroin
as retirement plan". doesn't plan to try opioids before ~60, even
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: 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 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: 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"
a111: Logged on 2017-05-03 19:43 mircea_popescu: (andpool,
as usual, the worst offender.)
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: "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."

as worthy
as the shares, and that's value.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> o hey, foundation owning shares, too ? << at first I was thinking that these might need to be realised into btc and sent to the addy... but i don't see any restrictions on asset ownership.
as long
as jurov writes in a line item in the report at least.
danielpbarron: guy errs when he says "some random guy gets her" -- this proceeds from the destructive practice of teaching daughters that their opinion matters and they should do what feels good to them, rather than telling them to do
as you say and marry who you tell them to
mircea_popescu: but, to do a third, mp's linguistics class : the sufferer does put the signature of his sufferance in his utterances. which is why they're so easy to identify (and how they manage to find each other and clump together like dogvomit.) dodo bird will say dodo bird things, such
as "consensus" and "it is hard to lose money hiring mit graduates" and on it goes, lengthy list.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-03 13:22 Framedragger: well no, they'd actually say that there is an objective worldview. it's just that the haecceity (ha) pointers towards "this is objective" are inverse
as it were
mircea_popescu: and
as to the parallel mp school of philosophy :
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-03#1651269 << no, regression is NOT a functional means to salvage. not your childhood,
as the psychiatric defense ; not nonsense,
as the "philosophical" bullshit deployed here, not dead notions of citizenship
as seen in the cancer eating the legal system, not bad software through the "magic" of "a framework" and "Abstracting away" etc. regression
☝︎ jhvh1: Framedragger: ue :: Term denoting [Urban Exploration]. Used
as both a noun and a verb. The idea of urban adventure is also expressed via [URBEX] and [URBANEX]. [ex:] Let's UE the derelict old warehouse on Fifth Street tonight.I'm acquainted with the tenets of UE. Today, I document for posterity what will vanish tomorrow. [/ex] | User Error, from WikiPedia:The phrase User Error or USR error, is a technical term (4 more messages)
mircea_popescu: if you take her in heels might
as well make her leave the dress at the entrance. go for the whole nine yards!
phf: we've made friends with a "cataphilie", but we will probably have to take him up on his offer next trip (
as much
as it pains us, we do ue stuff wherever we go)
Framedragger: (then again, when i boarded a 1st class train to berlin in the morning after ~6h overnight crawl with no time to change clothes, i was seen
as a wildman (unkempt beard at the time, too), scared some old german ladies. "megafun" for certain definitions lol)
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: i will give one example. about a year ago, there was a discussion with sturles about mempool and the whole zero fee tx clusterfuck. at some point later on, you said that (can't find quote, paraphrasing) on scrutiny, sturles' account broke apart. whereas i read it
as "discussion was ongoing, then mp changed topic".
Framedragger: (nice quoted bit, too, i see the relation, i don't agree that bitbet can be modelled
as "just opinions", but w/e)
Framedragger: well no, they'd actually say that there is an objective worldview. it's just that the haecceity (ha) pointers towards "this is objective" are inverse

☟︎ a111: Logged on 2017-05-03 13:19 mircea_popescu: but that something else is always going to be the same exact thing -- the realisation that the world
as dreamed is not the world
as is, and the incapacity of the child to metabolize this fact.
mircea_popescu: the whole rota debacle -- exactly the same thing,
as well. "oh, but that was something else". no, not really.
mircea_popescu: but that something else is always going to be the same exact thing -- the realisation that the world
as dreamed is not the world
as is, and the incapacity of the child to metabolize this fact.
☟︎ Framedragger: yes, infantilism, and a general pattern, but it wasn't just "accounting" back then, it was mp billing multiple spends
as "cartel research", and other shareholder disagreeing with this. but anyway, after actually reviewing logs, my interim conclusion is "forest is deep, and don't sign a zero asset contract framedragger"
mircea_popescu: nevermind that if mp does the accounting then the accounting is done and if he does not IT IS NOT DONE!!! no matter fucking what! what was the response to mp showing up in 2012 and showing the tardstalk crowd how to do the accountin g ? they didn't start doing accounting, they STOPPED it altogether. no more reports now, were all the rage back then but now it's no longer "something new to say",
as discussed in the logs.
shinohai is genuinely stunned
as to why anyone would believe *anything* Gavin has to say on the subject of cryptography after Hoaxtoshi.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger bitbet ended up short ~same btc, idiot chorus went "well since mp happens to be doing the accounting for it, and he's rich anyway, he should make whole our delusions
as how the world works. because we have parenting issues from a bad childhood and also are so fucking speshul."
mircea_popescu: "Get an array of 64 bytes from whatever source of cryptographically-secure randomness you are using. Encode them
as hex, and make a REST query to the randomsanity service. The service will return ‘true’ if it those bytes look random and nobody else has submitted the same stream of bytes; otherwise it will return ‘false’."
mod6: like, simple things such
as examples and such, tons of barfing.
ben_vulpes: seems
as though there is some "fun" to be had with ada
BingoBoingo: "A bookstore owner, self-identified queer person and single mom with a disabled son, Eudaly campaigned heavily on better protections for renters and some form of rent control. The 46-year-old gained momentum
as months went on, striking a chord..." << With the City's many other femayo lardbarges on the wrong side of the tracks
BingoBoingo: "Long considered the pillar of citizen input for city policy-making, neighborhood associations now seem to take a back seat to groups based on racial and cultural identity,
as well
as to issue-based groups." << Nice, Portland is inviting the Klan back to the table
Framedragger: whoops sorry, thought i'd stab in dark
as that info was on wiki in that order. morning star prolly just copypasted from it. or vice versa, hard to tell these days
shinohai: No, I mean their *own* irc server (and the phree webspace) forces it. But you are welcome to run other services
as you please.
Framedragger: it's ~petty in terms of business/margin/etc., but
as a tmsr service, it may be useful to have, for some people. can you see how vps (in this fashion) may remain part of world for at least i dunno several more years? apologies if this line of reasoning totes ruins your day.
Framedragger: trinque et al.: thanks for (
as always) righting me. i have a shitty follow-up that is still bugging me. here it is, condensed: i think there is a service niche (again: i am in no way vested/involved
as of now) for offering a shell with limited resources and (say) a bouncer (like hashbang.sh), for "dirt cheap".
mircea_popescu: if they actually understood their place in the world somewhat closer to reality, there could be. but
as it is they overvalue themselves to such a degree, people are stuck paying for it with pretense.
a111: Logged on 2017-04-27 02:45 mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo it is, the problem with it is that 10% or less of the payola is paid out
as bezzle usd ; the remaineder 90% or more is paid out
as pats on the back, empty and baseless congratulatory verbiage and generally speaking psychotronic noise.
Framedragger: haha :D no. i guess there is that, too. it got even more expensive
as of late, didn't it
ben_vulpes: next step is to cross state lines and deprive them of my bezzlars
as well.
ben_vulpes: historic neighborhood associations responsible for such gems
as colonial heights, the entire nw urban area, buckman etc, are now being politely shown the door by "the rent is too damn high"/ex bookstore owner turned city commissioner chloe eudalay in preference to ethnic groups
Framedragger: yeah. ftr i do not survive or profit from vps. it can be useful sometimes (such
as FOR INSTANCE for scanning the damn ipv4, overnight, and not paying for whole month, or for whole box.)
