mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's actually a public utility. has absolutely no right over the usage of its monopoly, much like electric co can'
t cut your power.
mircea_popescu: but at least i don'
t throw it all out the window, so there's that.
shinohai wrote Qntra on that, hasn'
t yet been published
mircea_popescu: "scholar in residence", they wouldn'
t even give him a chair. NYU ffs! next step down was what, supervising the used sportsbras of the ohio state sluts ?
mircea_popescu: well, the reasoning was, "as they can'
t be bothered to read online while out ; so can'
t they be bothered to read books while in"
a111: Logged on 2017-05-14 23:47 mircea_popescu: we already arguably lost a contributor because he couldn'
t predict what we wouldn'
t like about the STYLE, rather than substance of his work.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> we already arguably lost a contributor because he couldn'
t predict what we wouldn'
t like about the STYLE, rather than substance of his work. << i kinda agree that some type of loose style guide should be created and posted to minimize churn/rework to assimilate

☟︎ mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i thought it gets inherited. entirely likely i don'
t comprehend c loading model.
trinque: yes, but aren'
t you here working on a better implementation of that?
mircea_popescu: the problem of course being that competent ruler doesn'
t need you to cut your head off, and incompetent ruler too thick in the first place.
mircea_popescu: i confess i can'
t imagine how the suicide of competeny, loyal underlying could fail to drive competent ruler to redress.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not to being a thinking man ; to not being a savage. it's fundamentally negative. know this so you don'
t end up in the tribe.
trinque: at least the guy didn'
t open a fucking potatoslurry franchise.
mircea_popescu: i suppose the next logical step is to you know, "who ordered the this???". make the customer keenly aware you couldn'
t give less of a shit about 'em and then whine about how you work in the "service industry" ie he HAS TO TIP YOU!!111
mircea_popescu: bitch, if you don'
t know who i am you already failed your job.
trinque: sadly I think this was a result of a four course meal joint struggling to get by, for same reason as "he didn'
t introduce himself to me omg"
mircea_popescu: the (very indian) chef of great local place actually came out of kitchen to see these two people who were eating all the stuff i rodered ; but couldn'
t summon the courage to more than bow from a distance and scurry off.
☟︎ trinque: then two women at table wail "oh he didn'
t shake our hands"
☟︎ trinque: "uh I don'
t know, people started cutting their dicks as part of a mass mental breakdown. I think they had quite fair skin."
shinohai: Can'
t have a conspiracy piece without Matrix binary, just isn'
t proper.
ben_vulpes: in other things asciilifeform doesn'
t know about turbines, some nutjobs will run super-rich mixtures such that gases are still burning through the exhaust manifold and into the turbocharger. this obviously torches the poor turbo in short order, but the temporary power boost is astonishing.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform aha! and it doesn'
t seem, from casual survey of the field, that they actually put to work ~everything available. the silicone people are cutting metal masks to the three atom widths ffs.
mircea_popescu: and evidently the metalworking tech to make the 100 gram turbine is here. wasn'
t here say 1980.
mircea_popescu: item dun really need so much power i don'
t think, but certainly used in the higher power tractors iirc.
mircea_popescu: yes, but in a proper arrangement (electric, gasoline, gas) hybrid, the gas turbine needn'
t cover all power curves.
phf`: right, well the originals are presumably TeX formatted ps files, so it's impossible to butcher that part. somehow they can'
t seem to get it pressed properly. maybe it's just my luck
Framedragger: well, that's why i said "dunno if any good". on *cursory* glance, nothing mischievous, but obvs wouldn'
t v-sign it
Framedragger: (^ may as well check phuctor box, but module probably won'
t be loaded.)
a111: Logged on 2017-05-14 12:19 Framedragger: HN spit out
https://github.com/mjg59/mei-amt-check , dunno if any good, maybe need to check later. to be clear, AMT won'
t be provisioned "by default", and it being provisioned is the worser thang.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-14 04:46 ben_vulpes: my point is don'
t use the battery as anything other than a temporal load leveler, and bam you have yourself effectively a clutch.
ben_vulpes: it may take some time, especially at my glacial pace, but i think slicing the wallet from the reference implementation (which i don'
t think is going anywhere?) a worthwhile endeavour.
ben_vulpes: no, you don'
t get to avoid the fe-ni battery proposal.
ben_vulpes: my point is don'
t use the battery as anything other than a temporal load leveler, and bam you have yourself effectively a clutch.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway, reason i didn'
t buy is because the commies didn'
t sell. otherwise -- money, had.
mircea_popescu: yes well i don'
t see that many phosgene to ac unit cia goons out there combing the streets.
mircea_popescu: While the documents describes an incredibly powerful code-breaking project, according to what hacker and computer researcher Andrew "Bunnie" Huang told The Intercept, if you're using the latest encryption, you don'
t have anything to worry about. "Even if [WindsorGreen] gave a 100x advantage in cracking strength, it's a pittance compared to the additional strength conferred by going from say, 1024-bit RSA to 4096-bit RSA or go
phf`: come to think of it the whole exhaust in the kitchen applies to other cases where exhaust is mandatory: i like the small of soldering rosin or the smell of freshly sawed wood, but i wouldn'
t want to spend much time in a workshop that doesn'
t have an exhaust. and you have similar failure mode: "come all to work on projects!" hackerspaces notoriously don'
t have exhaust
mircea_popescu: eyah, somehow teh socialist masquerading as co-op-ist isn'
t quite prepared for a) his nonsense to be readily identified, "rock soup, rly?" and b) the obvious "just make sure it's not dishcloth borscht" ready counter.
phf`: ahaha, that's a great metaphor. i think somebody, possibly Gogol had some similarly visceral imagery, but i don'
t remember it as a phrase
mircea_popescu: but since bad venting you needn'
t get anywhere specifically, they still have it.
mircea_popescu: if the eu hadn'
t made it illegal, people'd still drive 1950 cars around the eu. like you know, smog filled paris. what, his car did the smog ?
mircea_popescu: moreover, they get proper stoves because they can'
t get shitty stoves anywhere.
phf`: there's too many places to name that fuck up the whole vent thing. there's a small cafe next to my apartment that i can'
t go to because they don'
t have exhaust. but i think it's a general "oh we need to cook? i'm going to replicate my mom's kitchen". at least they now all get proper stoves, probably after watching cooking shows where fire goes "woosh" when it's cooking
mircea_popescu: so, girl discovered this very promising place. in charge of it, this stunning beauty of an actress/real estate agent. you understand me ? this girl did understand you can'
t make it as an actress without money, but she didn'
t go into prostitution, or waitressing, like all others. she got herself real estate firm.
danielpbarron: i found a karaoke venue that lets me sing "offensive" songs. at some point after i finished singing one of my songs, a girl calls for my attention using my name. i don'
t recall what i said, but her reply was to say that i was "rude" to her. i lose interest and walk away. later on i'm outside having a smoke and she confronts me again. says she "has a bone to pick" with me about something she heard i had said to one of her male frien
BingoBoingo: "A crushed cockroach leaks micrograms of linoleic acid. Linoleic acid is an essential nutrient in humans (you need to eat about 3 grams/day) and is essentially odorless. If you are a cockroach it is an overwhelmingly powerful chemical signal - a pheromone - to RUN AWAY! It makes evolutionary sense, doesn'
t it? Anything that stomps on cockroaches should be avoided if you are a cockroach. "
mircea_popescu: nono you don'
t understand, network segments and engineers!
BingoBoingo: shinohai: Don'
t forget the 9 inch linesman pliers in case you have to take into bondage not a pretty girl
mircea_popescu: splurge and spend the 15 to buy a ball gag. it's one of those items, like cased bullet, that can'
t really be replaced in the kitchen.
mircea_popescu: see alf, that's the problem with fuckgoats, that nsa doesn'
t have an email spam service. THIS GOES AGAINST PRINCIPLES!
mircea_popescu: don'
t tell me ivan a ivanov is not a real name either!
mircea_popescu: and champion seeds that are plowed under every night won'
t ever champion anything, next field will raise an economically relevant crop of tubers if left undisturbed.
gabriel_laddel_p: mircea_popescu: read the article. Or just the smooth surprise part. It isn'
t an overflow error
mircea_popescu: is there an english equivalent to the ancient romanian "an idiot throws a stone overboard and ten philosophers can'
t fish it back out" ?
gabriel_laddel_p: I can'
t imagine this would take more than 5 days + a bunch of coffee.
trinque: complete list of "this also don'
t use"
mircea_popescu: can'
t lay out silk for an umbrella without the spikes or how it went.
mircea_popescu: it might provide fine support for alf to transition from the phase of "i can'
t write a trilema" to the phase of "there it is, read it
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: I don'
t care about how long, just want the price
mircea_popescu: trinque i don'
t think they'll ever do something useful though, for the reason that it's useful. somehow the drones intuit and avoid any non-drony un-pointless meaningful activity.
trinque: wasn'
t hardware thread. got dragged there because reasons.
mircea_popescu: if the idea is "this stove is not intended to work as a gun" then you can'
t justify buying lens clearing fluid for the stove's scope.
trinque: I don'
t see how that follows.
mircea_popescu: worked ok for those dorks, recall, the guy didn'
t wanna talk to us ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> i see box where i can'
t ban ip as ~useless << why the heck.
trinque: but I don'
t want to overcomplicate things or this will be another round of "gentoo does not work"
trinque: asciilifeform: sure, but you don'
t get the "this particular gentoo recipe SHALL WORK" without *some* standard box
trinque: sadly now I find the debugger port I saw on it doesn'
t do dick.
