mircea_popescu: portrait of the artist as a young trotsky
asciilifeform: however i'm just about as certain that it is self-contradictory, as that, e.g., p!=np.
mircea_popescu: though as alf well points out last we had this, it may well be actually self-contradictory, this concept.
Framedragger: content's unoriginal and uninteresting, as far as i can see. why plagiarism of #t in particular?
a111: Logged on 2017-04-15 14:09 mircea_popescu: incidentally Framedragger , do you have a working theory as why he didn't say "decentralized systems lab plagiarized #trilema" ?
mircea_popescu: the notion that usg-alike drones are "soldiers" is just as laughable today as it always was. chickens, not men, to be slaughtered as such.
shinohai went to "Mozart Festival" in Atlanta couple years back, was a horrid affair with a highschool band masquerading as "Chamber Orchestra"
mircea_popescu: dudes cost the usg more than any engagement since vietnam cost it. this puts them above the chechens, as far as successful unalligned powers go.
asciilifeform: was addressing the 'may as well write whole proggy in c' strictly.
asciilifeform: ( in re 'may as well c' )
mircea_popescu: draw the page as a memory area and flip it into the video buffer zone was the state of the art iirc.
mircea_popescu: meh, if you're goint to do that might as well run c.
shinohai: mircea_popescu: Is dulceata similar in .ro as in es to signify `sweet` ?
mircea_popescu: ya but it's not the same, as evidenced by the fact that as a 10 yo i could eat a proper sized jar of say apricot jam (800g) but barely made it through a small (240g) jar of dulceata de piersici.
a111: Logged on 2017-04-22 23:35 Framedragger: i actually never got to know what the major issue with pascal was. (i mean, as long as you're teaching imperative programming..)
mats: AN/AAQ-40 features combined flir and irst as well as laser designation, and also capable of generating geo coords to support gps-guided weapons systems
phf: pascal is still taught as main language in some european universities including moscow state cs department
Framedragger: i actually never got to know what the major issue with pascal was. (i mean, as long as you're teaching imperative programming..) ☟︎
asciilifeform: 'When Roberts came to Stanford in 1990, CS106A was still taught in Pascal, a programming language he described as not “clean.” The department adopted the C language in 1992.'
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-21#1647200 << i like to think of it as an eccentric quirk. every time i notice it, i'm amused at how dumb that parser it ☝︎
phf: “adapting to industry shifts and student feedback, the computer science department has implemented various changes to its introductory courses, CS106 and CS107. This spring, a pilot version of CS106A, tentatively called CS106J, will be taught in Javascript instead of Java. Meanwhile, CS106S: “Programming Abstractions and Social Good” is being offered as a standalone class for the first time this winter, encouraging students to consider the s
asciilifeform: (as described in Framedragger's link. 'why does this box need crew to push a button?' 'BECAUSE! stfu terrorist' 'didn't grass grow in orbit 10,001 times in this identical way?' 'stfu terrorist' etc.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ~100% of iss 'research' is of roughly same grade as 'climate science.'
asciilifeform misread as 'rogue cpp'
ben_vulpes: that'll be the end of orbital access as well.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes its amusing to me to see all the usgistani youtube rarararing (a fine example : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vej_aLJpFYo ) deeply rely on satellites. fact : large scale involvement with either russia or china will contain the end of satellites as the very first step.
shinohai: asciilifeform strikes me as the type that will leave vermin carcass on a pike as a warning to the others ....
mircea_popescu: the argument of irrelevancy is not as to isolation. it is as to irrelevancy. if the modernist delusion of "hi i can of myself and by myself choose what problems to apply myself to" rots one's brain, the result isn't necessarily a loner ; but what difference does that make ?
BingoBoingo: As is all of the "nobody could have forseen" that ISIS does
asciilifeform: says plain as day, file "sqrt.ads" not found
asciilifeform: it isn't as if broadcasting nonsense costs'em ~any.
trinque: http://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/wild/rehab/protected/ << "Unless state-listed as threatened or endangered, these animals are not protected, except under certain circumstances."
asciilifeform: esp. as mine for some reason came without the safety latch ('made in korea!')
asciilifeform had a nice long walk to ps0toffice with pet, discussed the 'money as a property' vs 'hamiltons' mircea_popescuism
a111: Logged on 2016-11-10 17:10 mircea_popescu: no, actually, it concerned an isp which, like any other isp, can't afford to actually pay a lawyer to read all the legalse spam being thrown their way. the guilty party here is the state of california, as per http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-18#1524561
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: https://archive.is/N4KYf << china! as you said. though i have nfi how much of the linked info is true
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu's concept would work, but it has 1 serious cost -- it is a 'phd assembly line', in that it -- as i understand -- more or less requires ~being a copy of mircea_popescu~ -- a 'jet-setting' d00d, travelling to orclands, negotiating with local mafias, packing up boxes onto chartered boeings in the night, etc
mircea_popescu: take only btc, pay your 0.1% to the republic and live happily ever after as a well respected, much sought and very productive member of the community.
Framedragger: i'm checking that particular link as we speak
Framedragger: (i of course see the point (by way of tmsr history as well) of being able to choose particular customers carefully, that is true of course)
Framedragger: i'd need to check but i do believe they do. but sure, it may as well lease them.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger how am i keeping you from registering for as ?
Framedragger: so just to clarify the technicalities in my mind, in your head this doesn't even imply registering for an isp as 'normally' understood (getting an autonomous system number assigned). which means you may not even be able to control reverse ip records. not a lotta.. power.. if shit goes down. which it will.
asciilifeform: if mircea_popescu sees this as utterly trivial, as suggested here, he could run this service himself (or with 'long hands'), corner the market, supply every spammer on planet3 .
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ten thousand different idiots are offering me this service as we speak.
mircea_popescu: today. right now. as we speak. people are doing the useful task of putting cpus in boxes. is this incomprehensible to the engineering mind ?
Framedragger: so what, the idea is to jump around DCs (i assumed low bar for calling self isp is at least getting an AS number, btw) while they're kicking you, and only do rental contracts short enough so that not too much cash gets burned.
mircea_popescu: "wash the dishes" "hang on im designing an alien dish washer" "in the time you've been jacking off with the lolpics, other people ate out of washing dishes as professionals, you fucking tard you."
Framedragger: sealand (if as in a physical platform at sea) == fewer options for uplink == even more bad, in my mind
Framedragger: there are those isps in .ru which show the finger to usg, but (1) as was said here multiple times before, there is no 'bulletproof hosting'; and (2) i'd like to see what happens when someone starts serving content against .ru interests.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as you're well aware, usg has 0 problem confiscating entire dc when it wants. on most of planet.
mircea_popescu: as per you know, http://trilema.com/2014/interacting-with-fiat-institutions-a-guide/
mircea_popescu: republican isp = competent sysadmin who handles relationship with multiple dcs in terms of getting hardware installed and refuses any requests made under color of law by the terrorist organisation known as "the united states government". and publishes them. ☟︎
asciilifeform: Framedragger: and if you read the linked item, 'On Linux, I tested GCC 4.9, 5.4, and 6.3, as well as Clang 3.6, 3.8, and 4.0. None were affected. ' << applies strictly to recent clang, seems.
shinohai: `clang` (noun) The sound your Apple phone might make as it is being pwnd.
scriba: ssh banner of 38.96.45.231 as seen on 2016-06-13: SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_4.3p2 Debian-9
asciilifeform: in Kansas, we know something about false Wizards," said the former Kansas congressman in his first public remarks as CIA director. Pompeo accused "Assange and his ilk" of making common cause with dictators as "they try unsuccessfully to cloak themselves and their actions in the language of liberty and privacy."'
asciilifeform: thread started with 'does one pilot v. two pilots matter as much as i suspect it does' tho
pete_dushenski: so flying as a passenger in a single engine, single pilot is like riding bitch on a bike. lol nothx!
pete_dushenski: davout: does one pilot v. two pilots matter as much as i suspect it does (ie. quite a lot) ?
davout: also props can mean a piston engine, as well as a turbo-prop
ben_vulpes: princeton, stating the obvious as far back as 2014
asciilifeform: it isn't as if it will do anything against their usual mode of death -- being thrown into oncoming traffic
pete_dushenski: might as well ride motorcycle at night with no headlights and no helmet
a111: Logged on 2017-04-20 13:52 mircea_popescu: yes. it doesn't mean "money-as-property" in the sense of "old destroyed world, i get to keep my money". it means money as property in the sense of, money IS A PROPERTY of other objects. like being the color red.
trinque: there's a decent store 10min away that stocks about as well as newegg, can go get something once I have the apu2 and see what will fit nicely in the case.
asciilifeform: https://archive.is/Ihgo4 << and then debian revokes his commit. as if it weren't 'tor exit node operating', haskell-teaching, fine folx who made debian what it is today, poetteringolade
mircea_popescu: the hamilton school, money as symbol, attempts to construct a grammar of the world wherein money is a word like all the others, and with it finally complete the ancient kaballah task of reading the true bible.
mircea_popescu: yes. it doesn't mean "money-as-property" in the sense of "old destroyed world, i get to keep my money". it means money as property in the sense of, money IS A PROPERTY of other objects. like being the color red. ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2017-04-20 13:49 mircea_popescu: one is to regard it as a symbol, the other is to regard it as a property.
asciilifeform: start with money-as-property
asciilifeform: money-is-property, as i understand , is the old, demolished civilized world.
mircea_popescu: one is to regard it as a symbol, the other is to regard it as a property. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform alright. there's two ways to look at money, once you agree (as all of these do) that the principal function of money is to organise human activity while avoiding the costs of http://trilema.com/2014/the-battlefield-of-the-future/#footnote_3_53044
mircea_popescu: and i don't mean "cultural pockets" as in, people from chicago talk funny. i mean isolated cultural pockets as in, the jefferson-hamilton debate of 1700 is still live and kicking in 2000, argued in the sense of dumb rehashing by the same people in different costumes.
mircea_popescu: in any case, roosevelt was about as fascist as mussolini
mircea_popescu: this isn't to say that the previous system was any good -- it truly was about as good as the soviet union, which is to say worse than nothing.
asciilifeform: that -- yes, as dead as roman republic.
mircea_popescu: it's still called the same thing, but it has ~same to do with its own history as today's russia with historical soviet union.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, color of paint is secondary or even tertiary concern. Promary purpose of paint is as protective coating
ben_vulpes: in other news, portland fashioning itself as a testbed for robocar experiments
Framedragger: re. bitbet (unsigned), http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/csimk/?raw=true (from https://bitbet.us/bet/1361/alphago-to-beat-ke-jie-in-april/#c7085 - archive.is failing to archive this as of now)
asciilifeform: i'd imagine at this point in the neverending 20th c. it'd be obvious at least to literate folx, that this type of 'power grab' is about as great an idea as grabbing live hv cable .
danielpbarron: i just watched Brazil the other night, maybe the reference is not as obvious as i thought
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform as per link, "RAGE ON THE RIGHT A rage is growing on the right. Before it is done, untold numbers of men and women may have to die, casualties in America's ongoing culture wars. By Mark Potok, Editor, SPLC Intelligence Report".
a111: Logged on 2017-04-19 17:48 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: at one point we had a thread with d00d who sold 'sram as rng' iirc.
asciilifeform: or, for instance, PET/PETE plastic (as in 'soda' bottle) is a pretty good one
asciilifeform: bonus: your rng also doubles as a radio-shenanigans detector!111
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: at one point we had a thread with d00d who sold 'sram as rng' iirc. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: anti-ecc ram. "we guarantee no bits can be read as they were stored!"
asciilifeform: it, as mircea_popescu likes to say, 'does not prevail!111'
asciilifeform: just as mircea_popescu didn't care to bow to brezhnev. ( regardless of how fragmentary was his picture of how -- precisely -- brezhnev's palace decisionmaking conveyor worked. )
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-19#1646126 << this, incidentally, is SHOCKINGLY false. when polling the rat in the box, his clue as to how the empire is being run is very very nil. i get this is counterintuitive, but get this : romanians thought the same "common sense" nonsense and ended up with http://trilema.com/2011/procesul-ceausescu/ ☝︎
mircea_popescu: no, but it gives you enough sense to not write your minesweeper applet in such a way as to import netbase.
a111: Logged on 2017-04-19 15:46 mircea_popescu: it's unfortunate that a schmuck who actually had the unmitigated audacity to tell people he is a "chair of blabla" was also so fucking clueless as to not know the foregoing, and truly expected he'll be playing with his dickie in the sand unfettered cca 2004. but then again -- this is the just desserts for sinking one's time and productive life in the idiotic line of chasing nonsense.,
asciilifeform: in 1990s-era 'expose' crapolade, the former is painted as 'devil', 'evil genius pseudoscientist', etc.
asciilifeform: ( has about as much to do with the original psychology as modern chinese 'communism', with lenin . )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: psychology, such as described here, unfortunately found a second life -- propping up american pharma 'industry'.
