mircea_popescu: "dear abby - i noticed
today
that while wearing my chastity belt, i can't seem
to have sexual intercourse. please advise."
phf: shinohai: is it still broken? it's possible
that hr background is not portable..
a111: Logged on 2016-03-28 13:11 mircea_popescu: upon consideration, i see no reason
to continue supporting or otherwise encourage kakobrekla's bizarre worldview. on
the contrary, i view further involvement with
the nonsense as considerable moral hazard, and a miserable
thing
to do altogether.
shinohai: I spoke
to him about
that
too actually xD
mircea_popescu: speaking of which ben_vulpes : how would you feel about adding a rsync-like interface for wotpaste
through rsa sessions ?
☟︎ shinohai can't seem
to find dragon, checks dates
phf: mircea_popescu: kind of like a
transparent rsync
to a shared folder, with ~/public linked
to public web url
BingoBoingo atm leaning
towards mixed wood. Perhaps a walnut
top and Douglas fir (maximally pink boards) structral components.
shinohai: phf is
the nifty dragon you put between log schism still
there?
phf: dropbox is finally discontinuing public folder. "we’ve built even better ways for you
to share securely and work
together with your
team." what a load of shit. literally
the best feature
they had was unmediated ~/pub/.
the "better ways"
they are referring
to is a web 2.0 style "USE DROPBOX CLIENT (or click here
to download directly like some kind of loser)"
BingoBoingo: But heavy, so harder
to pick up and beat intruders with
mircea_popescu: (also you're not held
to be more rigorous
than
the attendance supports, irl)
mircea_popescu: splendidly, if you don't expect most
to make it
to 2nd year.
Framedragger wonders how "let's axiomatize from set
theory, frege/russell style" would go for 1st year students
tho :p
mircea_popescu: math ~in
terms of~ set
theory ; or functionals (as
the math
thing, not as
the cs
thing) ; as opposed
to computering.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger
the point is, what do you build
the discipline ~around~. it's a linguistic choice, of
the level of "we'll write
this in basic or php".
Framedragger: (fwiw UK unis appear
to decently cover basics of ZF set
theory in CS classes,
too, so at least
there's
that)
thestringpuller: i
thought most engineering schools wouldn't allow you
to use calculators for math classes? We weren't allowed
to use anything but our brains for all Math even DiffEq. I
think statistics was
the only class where
there was an exception.
mircea_popescu: either functional analysis or set
theory are sound basis for mathematical study, rather
than applied algorithmics or w/e you'd call it.
mircea_popescu: i don't
teach math by computer either. it's like
teaching cooking by washing socks.
phf: surprisingly! fwiw at moscow state evening math school you didn't start with programming. for a couple of years
the classes were physics, math and boolean logic. programming in C with frbrgeorge was considered an advanced class and
the only ~actual
touching of computer~ class

trinque: in other python 2 was already shit... all([]) ->
True yet any([]) -> False
mircea_popescu: anyway, all
this is becoming ever more interesting as
the great again summoning will probably imply something
that
to
the japanese will seem like us unreliability creating a disparity with china wrt nukes.
mircea_popescu: for
the same money, pornstar + biofermenter == electricity enough for some microseconds of porn watching

there is, in archive, a letter from general groves
to
truman stating, plainly,
that
there will not be REMOTELY enough U for bomb.
mircea_popescu: (and in
the list of "great western pravda" achievements : japan requested uranium oxide from germany (the great blessings of shinto - japan has no fucking resources of any kind), who shipped it via sub, except
the sub surrendered once germany surrendered. and
the us agitprop claimed it was... "catalyst for use in
the production of synthetic methanol for aviation fuel". because
totally,
the zeros flew on methanol. (uranium dio

to all nowandgodwhydoiknowthis
a111: Logged on 2015-03-20 04:11 asciilifeform: no prizes for guessing how much use came of
this.
mircea_popescu: still chasing perpetual youth up
there in
the
tower of dreamsong huh.
Framedragger: i agree, and
there is
the whole utilitarian framework
to be considered in specific instances, such as, "make bloodmoney now,
to be invested for quantifiably more good later", etc.; still, it's a nuanced
thing...
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform at least
they're coherent, "anti-missile shield is not a nuclear weapon". sure it isn't.
Framedragger: (that being said, /me considers working part-time in
the future
to come, and working more on personal/worthy projects on
the side. i don't know how asciilifeform is
tmsr-productive while doing other stuff full-time - maybe i should go on a modafinil diet heh)

the usg web / github / CC economy etc.
Framedragger: (it may however be noted
that lacking material wealth,
the extreme case of
the above appears
to be gabriel_laddel (
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-18#1570190); and i *do* prefer
to have a friggin' mailing address; and
there are places
to work which do not do heaven-important
things, but are not microshit, either; i.e.,
there's a spectrum.)
☝︎ Framedragger: "It should be noted
that no ethically-trained software engineer would ever consent
to write a DestroyBaghdad procedure. Basic professional ethics would instead require him
to write a DestroyCity procedure,
to which Baghdad could be given as a parameter."
mircea_popescu: "i just want
to" i get it, i get it. it's stupid and disastrous.
mircea_popescu: except, in
typical "i'm a
thinker not a doer" puppy style, figured out after.
mircea_popescu: who, incidentally, mostly all figured out what a horrible sin it was
to deliver
the socialists
the bomb.
mircea_popescu: japan got buldozed chiefly because of
the utterly immoral attitude of
thinking people at
the
time.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: on which note i should wish
to muchly encourage
the ~competent~ youth
to not fear "suicide" of
this nature. it's a control artefact implanted by
the socialist motherhood for
their detriment, a sort of imaginary pain box of
the bene gesserit.
there's no reason
to even HAVE a "group of women who don't fuck" as a political entity, let alone ridoinculous imaginary boxes.
mircea_popescu: he was wrong on one point, re
the "political suicide". not
that
the niggers aren't PRETENDING of course, but
their pretense aside my credit's evidently better
than clinton's.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger
there's a lot of interesting stuff at
the "western world" - japan interface. japan being, of course,
the only non-european industrialised country. but it doesn't stop
there - when
the whole socialist world went up in flames in
the 20s, japan was doing absolutely fine ; even made a bundle speculating
the loser's currencies.
jhvh1: shinohai:
The operation succeeded.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-16 12:47 mircea_popescu: not only does it mirror how we learned programming as kids (i did circles in a for loop in basic, obtained a nice worm guy!) but it gives an immediacy
to lisping absent ANYWHERE else.
Framedragger: well
there's no cert *outside* mozilla dir. maybe it's
the ubuntu's organized. fresh install, don't ask...
mircea_popescu: meanwhile
they give professional company sinkers credit. carly fiorina,
this
tracy lorde of us business, singlehandedly destroyed
two functional companies.
Framedragger: gotta love
the empire's press and resulting ignorance
Framedragger: operating margins consistently above 9%—more
than
twice

Framedragger: "In
the first year of
the Nissan Revival Plan, Nissan's consolidated net profit after
tax climbed
to $2.7 billion for fiscal year 2000, from a consolidated net loss of $6.46 billion in
the previous year.
Twelve months into his
three-year
turnaround plan, Nissan had returned
to profitability, and within
three years it was one of
the industry's most profitable auto makers, with

take on a slave who's not aware she's abject refuse.
mircea_popescu: the greatest skill is
to
turn down byzantine crap a la gm or ford. "oh great opportunity". heh, for
THEM, maybe.
they want
to suck your juju,
to extend
their lifespan for a few short extra weeks WITHOUT CHANGING substantially.
that's
the fucking problem.
mircea_popescu: incidentally,
the greatest skill in
the world isn't
to you know, get named head of michelin south america reporting directly
to francois michelin and
then
turn it around in a coupla years.
mircea_popescu: fortune "gave him" some "best in business ~OUTSIDE OF US~"
title, in
typical byzantine style of "our nose's so upturned if it rains we drown" ; but
then both gm and ford begged him
to
take
them on (and he didn't. why didn't he ? is it because no great again possible in
the us according
to
the people who specialize in great agains ?)
mircea_popescu: incidentally, speaking of nothing in particular, everyone heard of carlos ghosn ? quite
the fellow.
☟︎ Framedragger: hey
that vc dude apparently likes
to call everything cocks, and it's working out for him
mircea_popescu: can be your first blog post! "here's me
trying gimp repl"
a111: Logged on 2016-12-16 12:47 mircea_popescu: literally, for
the cost of installing gimp you get what ammounts
to a visual repl.
mircea_popescu: no big deal, it'd be confusing if we didn't know what
this is.
Framedragger: i would avoid inducing all of
this confusion if i wrote all of
this shit up in place - mea culpa. will be done eventually.
Framedragger: i guess one should standardise
terms here.
the larger number corresponds
to "something's running
there" servers, found via 1st scan phase.
the lower 15M number corresponds
to "actually speaks ssh protocol" servers, found via 2nd (ssh-keyscan) scan phase.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu:
the 20M or so servers which responded
to
TCP SYNs sent
to port 22. however, out of
those, about 5M (or however many) did not respond
to ssh handshakes, hence
the lower number in
the banners and phuctor payloads.
