mircea_popescu: basically it's 95% fail hits, most because no vocabulary. i don'
t think it'd pass the baccalaureate. wtf is wrong with people
mircea_popescu: this isn'
t even counting the failures of pretense, like supposedly chinese is misspelled because hey, gotta have capital, or organised is misspelled because hey, somebody cares what harvard thinks.
mircea_popescu: well, latin idea originally, but anyway. latins couldn'
t bring themselves to care. i can readily see why.
shinohai doesn'
t emacs either so all of last thread was lost on him.
mod6: fwiw, i don'
t emacs or whatever it is.
mircea_popescu: i don'
t expect by now there's any relation whatsoever between the mouth-like organ and the arm-like organ of the vaguely organised amoeba colony.

☟︎☟︎ ben_vulpes: that wouldn'
t lead to a node pegging 100% cpu, would it?
trinque: ah you know what, that wasn'
t even the thing
trinque: ah if one wants some kind of preview before loading the archived site, yes, can'
t get that
BingoBoingo: es are the ones who don'
t know how the world works...
mircea_popescu: mod6 i wasn'
t here for it, but one opf the places, tree fell over brought down power grid. ticoswarm, power back on 2 hrs later.
mircea_popescu: haven'
t seen good salesmen for a long while pre coming back here. you know that, BOTH a) not be obnoxious and b) talk to you. not one, or the other. fucking both.
mircea_popescu: fortunately the soil isn'
t very good. if it were the rich black stuff, that sucks a lot of water, forget about it.
mod6: wow. no, can'
t say that I have.
mircea_popescu: just couldn'
t get enough torque to get its fat ass up the grade. period.
mircea_popescu: they can'
t be arsed with switchbacks here. fuck it they say, make it 25% and let you drive in 1st for a few hours, what of it.
mircea_popescu: oh yeah, totally forgot to gloat. so today on highway going to town, crash in front of me. then on the way back... crash in front of me. this one actually made traffic crawl, so i told the driver to switch lanes. because he wasn'
t going in the faster one.
shinohai: Nah least I didn'
t consider it disrespectful. I was genuinely curious.
danielpbarron: i don'
t know, but the levels of tritium at ground zero were much higher than what you'd expect
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.
danielpbarron: it wasn'
t a laser. it was some thing that causes a sort of cold fusion that turns atoms into other atoms, and causes atoms and molecules to repel eachother. it caused the buildings to turn to dust mid-air
mod6: sorry, don'
t mean to confuse with ffa
danielpbarron: if jet fuel, why wasn'
t there a million tons of debris at ground zero? why wasn'
t there any significant seismic activity?
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: hope it didn'
t make you puke or whatever, was just curious...
mircea_popescu: this whole "nefarious AND COMPETENT lizard usg" theory would fare a lot better if it weren;
t the case that during ~WELL EXPECTED~ hurricane hit about 500bn in negotiable paper got ruined.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-04 14:26 shinohai: I don'
t think I've ever used Cpanel at any point in my internet life.
mircea_popescu: this shit isn'
t in any sense rational. it's not properly speaking belief, like some believe jesus gives a shit about them or whatever, moses turned piss to vinegar. this is more like fatlogic, a convenient and therefore self-perpetuating earworm. whatever the problem, they'll just pretend like it's caused by you know, something somewhere being left behind, like they're playing old sierra quest games.
mircea_popescu: "no child left behind" wasn'
t supposed to lead to direct, immediate and precipitous tankage of the basic education system.
BingoBoingo: Idiocy is like water, it doesn'
t have a firm peak. Sometime it floods, but the high point is a "crest" not a peak.
mircea_popescu: half the trench foot sufferers of 1917 got no morphine for amputations because no morphine avaialble, and the sky didn'
t fall over.
BingoBoingo: <lobbes>
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-04#1651737 << probably follows standard path of percocet abuse (around $30 per pill on black market iirc) to eventual (much cheaper) heroin << You mean under $1 a pop at Walgreens to street price sticker shock to "One trick the drug companies don'
t want you to know"
☝︎ lobbes: Oh god, I couldn'
t imagine that. Talk about brain frying
Framedragger agrees re "heroin as retirement plan". doesn'
t plan to try opioids before ~60, even
lobbes: Trappings of power vs power I imagine. "Ah shit, can'
t relax, can'
t sleep. Ah this mellows shit out"
shinohai: I don'
t think I've ever used Cpanel at any point in my internet life.
☟︎ shinohai: Perhaps they don'
t have the Bitcoin or Chinese connections to purchase Carfentanil
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: this whole "oh, someone else snuck in and shot my wife, didn'
t bother to fuck her before or after, nothing" is such lulz. who the fuck is going to shoot a woman, the husband himself can'
t be arsed most of the time.
mircea_popescu: 6 inch peni can'
t satisfy wives, either. nevertheless...
shinohai: Jet fuel can'
t melt steel beams yo
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"
mircea_popescu: what could possibly go wrong! some idiots will flock to it, if it makes a blob large enough they'll be "too big to fail" and if it doesn'
t maybe it attracts the attention of a slightly larger blob looking to accrete specs of stupid to grow.
shinohai: We don'
t know the technical details behind it either, but hey!
mircea_popescu: yes, it sounds way the fuck better in the abstract (if you're clueless, entirely devoid of either experience, any faculty for thought and any inclination to resolve either). but it's the same god damned thing -- the desire of "visual thinkers" to introduce new glyphs in the alphabet so they don'
t get "constrained" in their "creativity" by the present set exactly mirrors the need of the house fly to get some garbage going so i
mircea_popescu: goes right back to that discussion re spam, "oh how could anyone expect to sell something when they can'
t even spell". except he's not trying to do anything other than signal to other dumbasses, "hey, here's dumbassery". they then merge. that's all that's going on there.
mircea_popescu: most of the activity of the stupid is channeled to this "constructing the dogvomit" activity. it's not like "oh, stupid did something stupid, it dun work." it's always "stupid did something to signal to stupids that didn'
t happen to have other effects".
shinohai: Because naturally the shit doesn'
t work yet.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-04 05:00 mod6: Crap. Forgot to add that the gcc version on the one that worked was GCC 4.9.2. Maybe that's my problem with my broken env., gnat version doesn'
t match the GCC version.
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'

☟︎ phf: it also gives you a working gps (gnat programming studio) which is handy if you don'
t emacs (and even if you do, it's a semi-proper ide with context sensitive completion and code validation)
ben_vulpes: endless lulzrabbit hole, this: "I seriously considered quitting the industry in 1997 when Apple Computer was concluding its acquisition of NeXT. Imagine if the president of General Motors said, in 1997, "It has come to my attention that our cars are kind of clunky and unreliable. Don'
t worry, though. We're rectifying this problem by licensing the blueprints to the 1985 Toyota Camry."
mod6: Crap. Forgot to add that the gcc version on the one that worked was GCC 4.9.2. Maybe that's my problem with my broken env., gnat version doesn'

☟︎ 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.
ben_vulpes: well no mircea_popescu also security couldn'
t cope! they worried! how can you calculate the security numbers, you dragon you?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i knew a cat that couldn'
t take people hyperventilating.
mircea_popescu: and then "The busses couldn'
t cope". motherfucking mental defective! the busses COME WITH NUMBERS. $capacity. $speed. you can CALCULATE
ben_vulpes: this girl had a particularly dumb cat once upon a time. couldn'
t handle boxes, but had to sit on anything rectilinear on the floor.
ben_vulpes: i can'
t imagine ja rule's passion for the ocean extends past terra yacht-a
mircea_popescu: "starting a viral campaign". IT CAN ONLY BE VIRAL AFTERWARDS. you don'
t fucking START it that way jesus christ these morons.
mircea_popescu: the shitstain. "all of us" ? how about you don'
t inflate away my inconvenience in a pile of dubious matter of unclear provenance wtf bullshit is this.
shinohai: Pretty hilarious that Charlie Lee works there and couldn'
t get his shit added until now.
mircea_popescu: trinque you know the other soviets aren'
t so far off. how is coinbase-ly "holding" bitcoin any better ?
mircea_popescu: teh china has a rich history of "item can'
t be privately owned".
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes at some point someone gave $chinese ruler half dozen fruit. he didn'
t want them, donated them to local chapter of party.
phf: i saw a cool edition of blake's works in powell's in portland. it was a folio reproduction of his designs, with complete Marriage, etc. unfortunately it was something like $400, and i just couldn'
t justify buying it then
mircea_popescu: this is rank nonsense. the ~isps~ buying fg for their customers aren'
t going to be dcs.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, weren'
t you kinda vaguely interested in doing fg sales ?
mircea_popescu: but hey, the usg stoolies managed to prevent meaningful discussion with all their ineptitudes and idiocies, which is generally how the usg stays afloat. not like anyone takes it seriously in the direct. they just manage to make it so nobody can hear anyone else who isn'
t an idiot and that's good enough.
mircea_popescu: how can anyone pretend like the bitcoin miners aren'
t attacking the bitcoin network with such behaviour is anyone's guess.
danielpbarron: most churches now embrace homosexuality. But if they weren'
t teaching destructive heresies they'd say homosexuality is indeed wrong, and that it can be cured by simply believing in Jesus Christ
trinque: the guy who wrote that is exactly the guy beating off to the camwhore cooing in baby voice with a teddy bear, and that's only because he can'
t get the clinton goods
mircea_popescu: children don'
t get to run things, or in his own words "like watching a group of nursery school children who've stolen a Boeing 747 and are now flipping all the switches trying to get it to take off"
mircea_popescu: except he doesn'
t think he can do this, because, essentially, he does not think he can be an adult. he is a child, and his name for daddy is "mit".
phf: i also haven'
t packed any exploration clothes. but i have one more day, which is otherwise entirely free, so it's possible that we'll end up dropping on a whim
phf: girl's been sick, and i don'
t think damp cold cavernous air is going to do her good
mircea_popescu: but otherwise, it's really fucking simple : standard bitcoin node either has a transaction in its mempool or does not have it in its mempool. if it has it then it can'
t keep it secret from you, which in standard bitcoin is anyone. if it does not have it then it does not have it. that's the whole story of mempools.
