asciilifeform: (rather than by, as bellard did, compiling with gcc.)
asciilifeform: (incidentally ~all extant c compilers 'thompsonize' and nobody even seems to notice, because it passes as 'optimize')
asciilifeform: i will add to phf's summary -- if the problem afflicted ~strictly~ compilers, it would be quite easy to solve -- write bootstrap in asm. but there is no rule that it has to affect strictly compiler. could just as easily be - say - the ~loader~.
asciilifeform: trinque: the x64 box that 'you can get the docs for' is , as i learned experimentally and very painfully -- a strictly imagined item
a111: Logged on 2017-02-24 02:36 asciilifeform: veen: let's try a historical angle. according to legend, emperor qin shi huangdi (same d00d as known for taking the 'immortality pill' and promptly croaking) had a palace with 1,500 rooms. and would not tell anyone in advance which one he plans to sleep in on a given night. and which ones he would put cutthroats in, ready to kill anyone who opens door. think 'minesweeper.'
a111: Logged on 2017-03-20 20:46 mircea_popescu: in other lulz, the state of casual gaming is completely fucked up. so other than utter throwaways, stuff that looks like someone's undegrad project, the ~entire market of ipad-likes (stuff that works in the browser, or else via a "light" client for windows/mac, or else as a ipad/android etc app) is wholly like this :
asciilifeform: (as they were aboard, e.g., submarines)
trinque: if one's going to set off creating one, might consider making that blob as (auditably) small as possible
trinque: any of a wide array of options is a different situation than "needs frozen same item as being built"
a111: Logged on 2013-07-08 13:30 mircea_popescu: just like i showed the SDRs as the exact equivalent, and people ignored it because well... they never had one so it don't exist.
asciilifeform: a thing that exists as buncha genesisen and can turn into a usable workstation os (gcc, gnat, x11, emacs, lynx, etc)
mircea_popescu: i know i couldn't get it to the point where eg it's in the eulora wiki as "do this to run eulora"
asciilifeform: if gentoo.org etc evaporate, or , as more likely, go the usual way of decay -- that'll be all, for it
Framedragger: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-31#1635314 << pretty fascinating; does this fall under the category of CRISPR (complete amateur question)? as in, "shit inserted in your dna by $parasite long ago, now you depend on it" ☝︎
Framedragger: i'm sure the results would match opinions of teh experts as usual
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-16#1453092 << as an ignoble fucktard (who got killed by the very golum he helped create) put it. ☝︎
Framedragger: (sorry meant, can *also* do this as privmsg)
Framedragger: CompanionCube: you can use `!$ getarchive some_ip some_other_ip . . .` to get banners from the time of scan. (can do this as privmsg, `/msg scriba help`)
CompanionCube: asciilifeform: the 'debianized' boxes, as you call them right?
mircea_popescu: https://www.thelocal.at/20170128/hotel-ransomed-by-hackers-as-guests-locked-in-rooms << was this in the logs btw ?
asciilifeform: the optional clock-in is subject to the same caveat as the internal clock
asciilifeform: it is so as to make the deterministic test possible. turns out, the warm-up of crystal oscillator is NOT deterministic. so if you let the thing begin IMMEDIATELY when the clock is valid,
asciilifeform: as in, 1+ per sq. m. of asphalt !
adlai: fwiw this is not 'as instructed', the instructions say to remove both, then add one, switch it across, and then add the second
Framedragger: by 'fool' you mean 'as intended' :)
adlai: aha, i can fool it: if a module is removed while it barfs, then it keeps barfing as half-sad
adlai sets up collection as per http://nosuchlabs.com section 4
shinohai: As I lamented to mircea_popescu the other day though, it is difficult to get them to see the value in Bitcoin (cam/twithos)
ben_vulpes: the scheme/c seam is as real as the emacs/linux seam
asciilifeform: ( asciilifeform's use, if it isn't obvious, is a fairly obvious abuse. the 'intended' use is of course for chump to be used as a 'content generator' draft horse by the hucksters, a la traditional publishing )
asciilifeform: (as in -- wholly unfiltered access)
asciilifeform: pod as accessible-to-groundlings is circa ~2010.
a111: Logged on 2017-04-02 22:22 mircea_popescu: i very much doubt it. the time for unsolicited manuscripts was sometime in between the summer of 90something and the autumn of the same 90something. nobody can tell you precisely when, but in any case "i made a book" is precisely the same as "i made a used condom"
phf: sitting down to "write the great american novel" as a the pure case of that
mircea_popescu: phf evidently not. he wasted a coupla years of his life, now in 2017 is in same position as he was in 2014. but it's ok, he's unwilling to review this, so he'll die as he lived.
mircea_popescu: "i want a guy who will love me for me" but in the male color scheme, as it were.
mircea_popescu: well, if by strategy you mean, attempt to adequate to the environment, i'd say none. if you mean "i am saifadean hear me roar" then sure, he's trying to matter as he is rather than as he'd matter.
mircea_popescu: i very much doubt it. the time for unsolicited manuscripts was sometime in between the summer of 90something and the autumn of the same 90something. nobody can tell you precisely when, but in any case "i made a book" is precisely the same as "i made a used condom" ☟︎
shinohai: ty jurov, as always.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the way i see it, doing http://trilema.com/2014/how-to-make-money-on-the-internet-while-pretending-you-know-what-youre-talking-about-and-accumulating-a-legion-of-mindless-followers-for-fun-and-profit by being 10,000,001 people trying nonsense, and then writing as the 1 surviving taleb, is exactly same as doing it via the usual 10,000,001 sybils
mircea_popescu: "first of all there appeared the idiots, then next transport landed some thieves. as all women were already ladies a platoon of whores was parachuted from the sky. the danger being real the idiots spontaneously invented the first courthouse."
mircea_popescu: she wouldn't mind doing it in person, but the dude sure as fuck ain't gonna ask her.
mircea_popescu: i imagine 50% of rats exist so random wankers can watch the girl in 8a work as a camho without having to pay for the "credits"
shinohai: Lulzy morning when some smacktard on twitter sends one of my girls a .uue file. When that didn't work, sent files as a .zip in email.
mircea_popescu: shinohai i read that as "the system has decided the value to it of this $random is 200k."
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> as far as the forum is concerned, his latest foray was some very overreactive bs triggered by my refusal to take rice out of my sushi or somesuch. << AHA
asciilifeform: my other irritation, fwiw, in taleb, is that he positions himself as 'opponent' of lizard system, while in fact being a creature of it
mircea_popescu: good here means a very specific thing : a) not lifted from soup but actually chosen by a hand that can choose to suit the work. ie, not pret a porter but tailored ; and b) correctly covering. as explained in eg http://trilema.com/2017/stop-being-so-fucking-poor/#footnote_3_72144
mircea_popescu: my positive view comes from specific things, such as take the recent article of his that was discussed here : his references are good.
mircea_popescu: sadly there isn't such a thing as "brilliant trader" in nature anymore than there is "masked crime figther wearing a cape".
mircea_popescu: this isn't as universally stupid as it sounds.
asciilifeform: as per naggum's example of 'comp industry 'learned' from microshit'.
mircea_popescu: the problem is the rope frays at the other end : bama dillert's father, who plows, does not appear in any james hones novels ; bama dillert himself, who figures if a man's gonna gamble anyway, might as well do it without plowing, does.
mircea_popescu: as far as the forum is concerned, his latest foray was some very overreactive bs triggered by my refusal to take rice out of my sushi or somesuch.
saifedean: academic disciplines as we know them have degenerated into rituals for exclusivity, not communicating ideas. these papers have been quite helpful to disabuse a lot of people of the retarded notions that altcoins and "blockchain technology" are going to revolutionize all teh thingz
mircea_popescu: or as tringue says, usfoods
a111: Logged on 2017-04-02 03:13 phf: as far i understand they are all essentially the same, in that they don't actually serve food.
phf: as far i understand they are all essentially the same, in that they don't actually serve food. ☟︎
asciilifeform: but, more entertaining, from same rag: 'The Russian Foreign Ministry addressed election interference allegations as an April Fools' Day joke on Saturday. The ministry said on its Facebook page that it had set up an automated telephone switchboard for embassies, offering in a fake voicemail the services of "hackers" and "election interference."'
asciilifeform: http://archive.is/ZEJ1G >> 'Former President Barack Obama is planning an extended stay in the South Pacific as he begins to write his memoir...' etc
trinque: hell obama might go down as nixon 2.0 at this point.
asciilifeform: i've contemplated adding, e.g., 'download as pgp key', 'download as ssh key', etc buttons
mircea_popescu: shinohai i had some follow-ups for his benefit, such as you know, "why quora is a piece of shit" http://trilema.com/2017/global-warming-on-triton/#footnote_0_71308 and other "basic combinatorics or why $nobody can't possibly have ideas / be taken seriously."
a111: Logged on 2017-04-01 23:21 asciilifeform: in other lulzies, https://archive.is/BQ2cK >> 'University Police conducted a search of the building, which yielded no additional posters ... The situation is being investigated as a hate bias incident, she added, encouraging anyone with more information to contact University Police.'
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-01#1635691 << it's funny that they can do the whole "this is investigated AS AN X" thing and yet STILL split it in their head so that "justice" and "law" work as anything but "the top criminal in our criminal organization said so." ☝︎
nacci: mice are popular hosts as well
asciilifeform: in other lulzies, https://archive.is/BQ2cK >> 'University Police conducted a search of the building, which yielded no additional posters ... The situation is being investigated as a hate bias incident, she added, encouraging anyone with more information to contact University Police.' ☟︎
danielpbarron: i also got OpenBSD on iMac G3 and G5 but they aren't as nice. the G3 i gave up before getting a windows manager, and the G5 has too-new hardware that assumes you run OSX or whatever, the most annoying of which being the fan that defaults to full-throttle unless told to slow down
nacci: yeah there are some interesting decisions made along the way, such as over a dozen drupal packages. . .
asciilifeform: as far as defunct chips go, it's exquisitely well-supported...
asciilifeform: i'd picture many of the chix would agree to join as junior deck swabbie in mircea_popescu's dirigible. but -- no such luck. (and for that matter, no such luck for the d00dz, either, in any case)
mircea_popescu: in any case, dude droning on about "his ideas re evolution" is going to make a very poor impression. as they aren't his fucking ideas, and an apparent ignorance of the whole darwin thing does not plead in favour of either his intelligence or his culture.
mircea_popescu: very much as property works in the empire.
mod6: Hopefully not, as jurov has completed his duties very well thus far.
mod6: I have no objections at all. Just curious if 'sabbatical' entailed a long enough absense to warrant someone else taking over as Foundation Treasurer.
danielpbarron: I have no objection to jurov as lord. all my interaction with him has been positive over the years. very clean migration of some of my assets from coinbr to eulora
diana_coman: mircea_popescu> the one other item is ... jurov fell off as lord treasurer. i dun exactly recall why or wherefore ; but he is STILL holding a considerable sum for the foundation, and moreover why sohuldn't he be a lord ? <- based on the work he did/does as far as I know it, I think he should be on the list; that being said, my understanding was that he got dropped due to http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-03#1444966 ☝︎
mod6: jurov: Are you going to continue with your duties as Foundation Treasurer?
asciilifeform: not as such
mircea_popescu: the one other item is ... jurov fell off as lord treasurer. i dun exactly recall why or wherefore ; but he is STILL holding a considerable sum for the foundation, and moreover why sohuldn't he be a lord ?
shinohai: " I propose be be inducted as the Lord Scanner."
mircea_popescu: oh, and also, as the latest addition to trilema headerspace may attest, i look strapping in a panama hat!
mircea_popescu: "As of W5 2017, 1`722 confirmed cases of Zika have been reported in Costa Rica. As of W50 2016, the cantons reporting the highest cumulative rate per 10`000 population are Garabito(289), Orotina (266), and Esparza(235)."
asciilifeform: 'Huddleston, though, isn’t a hacker. He’s the author of a remote administration tool, or RAT, called NanoCore that happens to be popular with hackers. NanoCore has been linked to intrusions in at least 10 countries, including an attack on Middle Eastern energy firms in 2015, and a massive phishing campaign last August in which the perpetrators posed as major oil and gas company.'
mircea_popescu: (to be clear : this isn't an argument in the vein of "what happened didn;t happen", but merely an observation that the item must have been VERY poorly maintained for the collapse to occur. that it's being sold as disaster is very much in the vein of the 1923 "palace of established happiness" fire : the eunuchs dun really want anyone to see how much they've stolen, so there was a... fire.)
BingoBoingo: In other news, lumber prices are ticking up at retail, as reported on Qntra in February http://qntra.net/2017/02/us-likely-to-reimpose-tariffs-on-canadian-softwood-lumber-soon/
asciilifeform: (and yes thing is perfectly happy to run on 6v, as pictured)
asciilifeform: so far it seems like the filter was designed CORRECTLY -- i.e. the setup makes 0 measurable difference, e.g., 'ent' takes ~same volume of bytes to converge pi as prior.
asciilifeform: ^ going as we speak
shinohai: I actually used to have a brass doorknob shaped like a tit, gave it to one of my friends as a going-away present.
Framedragger: you know, i've never seen this pattern so excellently executed. tip-top. straight from the 'how to survive as a tick' rulebook. (maybe because i can follow closely in native tongue and have keener sense of smell towards these fucks)
Framedragger: especially their leader, this ridiculous fat turd who nevertheless is featured in various tv shitshows ('to popularise history', you know) -- he's just plain jelly as fuck, (quote) "i don't even know this schmuck, some kind of driver (sic; literal), i would have great doubts as to the document's authenticity [meanwhile confirmed by germany archivists etc etc etc]", so on and so forth, in a complete caricature-like jelly manner.
trinque: BingoBoingo: s/^A /As /
mircea_popescu: obvious worst-case for google : "what is group x mislabel concept y as?"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: or (as discussed by naggum), what is worse, 'we will learn from the Success! of microshit'
trinque: as each individual company licked particular wounds
asciilifeform: as in, you could shuffle a ~task~ (not even entire proggy) between machines, cleanly.
asciilifeform: anyway erlang is imho only worth discussing as part of a larger pattern -- industry after industry independently discovered that c -- and its entire approach to logic -- is poison ☟︎☟︎
a111: Logged on 2017-03-29 15:28 mircea_popescu: there's no utility involved. suburban ustard wears item because of ~how it makes her feel~ to ~be seen~ as ~being one of the~ rather than any use.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i will also nitpick : 'erlang' does not belong in the list, it was a 1980s product that worked quite well in its industrial niche (large telco switches) but was later stolen and used as a totem by the folx from yesterday's thread ( http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-29#1633873 ) ☝︎☟︎☟︎
