ben_vulpes: part of
the 'catalogue of hardware for asymmetric statal combat'
ben_vulpes: it's be a pretty pricey project, i don't really expect anyone
to fund it.
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: what do you need
to get started on
the commission ?
time, money, both ?
a111: Logged on 2016-10-03 22:33 pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: my early research indicates
that premium radar detectors a la valentine1 detect 'camera-on-wheels' on k and ka bands
ben_vulpes: those little 30W modules asciilifeform found could
take one out permamently.
ben_vulpes: been
thinking about 'em for a while now.
ben_vulpes: lmk if you want
to commission a laser jammer pete_dushenski
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: my early research indicates

☟︎ pete_dushenski is quite enjoying "jay"'s 4.6l all-aluminum v8 atm now
that he's commuting more. a radar detector is now near
the
top of
the shopping list (yes,
they're legal here)
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: aha. listened
to 'no ceilings' maybe 6 months ago for
the first
time and was relatively unimpressed. on
the other hand i just found an unlabeled cd in my car
that
turned out
to be 'drought iii' and i'm currently quite enjoying
the walk down memory lane.
a111: Logged on 2014-11-13 19:06 asciilifeform: bip64, aside from complicating
the protocol and giving relevance
to
the gavin shitgang, is also a jam-tomorrow chumpatronic engineering structural element
gabriel_laddel: dina_corman: I don't have
the disk space
to download all of
them, but if you could get all
the funtoo stage3
tarballs
too, would be great.
mircea_popescu: ah yes, exactly. alf keeps stealing my ideas and
then passing
them off as his!
ben_vulpes: fudgepacker, not in
the sexual sense but in
the sense of going overboard packing shit
too
tightly where it didn't matter and not
thinking rigorously about ~anything
that did
trinque: henceforth working on
trb was known
throughout
the land as "doughfucking"
ben_vulpes: on a different
topic am i crazy or are bitcoin /pubkeys/ serialized in
the blockchain big-endianly and /ripmd160 pubkey hashes/ serialized little-endianly?
adlai: goodnight and shana
tova
to all
the kikes reading along
a111: Logged on 2016-08-25 22:58 mircea_popescu: i
think it is past your bedtime, yes. come back fresh
tomorrow.
mircea_popescu: ordeal is what your mom doesn't want
to happen
to you.
adlai: benefit of what, doing
things you've never done before?
a111: Logged on 2015-11-19 16:19 mircea_popescu: specifically,
that
there are
two kids of people :
the addicts, who aren't people, and
the actual people.
trinque: am I supposed
to buy homeopathic cures from you on
the same grounds?
trinque: adlai: you still didn't define
the fucking precise benefit
adlai has yet
to find a chemical which
truly makes him more productive, long
term. so far
they've all been 'addiction'
adlai: mekhashel. means roughly, "makes you stronger, short of
the irreducible strength attained by having your obituary written"
adlai: makes
this proverb actually poetic, as opposed
to my english
translabutchering

trinque: ordeal is
therapeutic; psychdelics maybe if
they cause a beneficial ordeal
trinque: that's all it is, and woe upon you
that your culture has none worthwhile
to put you
through.
adlai: the gist of
the paraphrase is
that some chemicals have an effect on
the human brain which is not reducible
to "now you will be less inhibited"
adlai: ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^HOW MANY
TIMES have you meditated daily for
ten years?
trinque: I've done acid something like 10
times. Where was
the something interesting?
adlai: does it count as evading if i explain my paraphrase rather
than citing strunk and white?
a111: Logged on 2016-10-03 19:15 asciilifeform: most folks off
the street, if given whatever dope you like, will not - apparently -
take
to it.
adlai:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-03#1551909 << in
this case, i'm gonna "blame
the mice", or in other words -- and i can't find
the exact 'logs' here, but it's iirc Leary -- "you can meditate for
ten years and achieve nothing, but
take a decimated milligram of lysergic acid dimethylamide, and something interesting is guaranteed
to happen"
☝︎ adlai: (at worst -
tinyscheme matchstick-and-glue-bridger)
adlai: even if you want
to atomic-swap
trb against etc, you're stuck shelling out, so you're at best "sbcl/ccl programmer"
adlai: asciilifeform: unfortunately, it's pretty much impossible
to 'tradebot' without
this
adlai finds himself pining for
that one server where s/foo/bar/ actually works

trinque: knew it was already in l0gz
adlai:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-03#1551821 << after reading preceding
thread (and i must say: machine code logs > all other logs), i now wonder if i'm not a lisp programmer, nor a cl programmer, nor even an sbcl or ccl programmer, but a "ql:quickload programmer"
☝︎ mircea_popescu: no point wasting effort with
the current variety ; unless one's
trying
to learn.
mircea_popescu: at which point making a proiper driver for
the bn unit singleitem will make sense
mircea_popescu: myeah.
that's
the other
thing - once
the "r&d" pretense goes away, vidcards will definitely go
the way of ram, as hdds went before it. ie, centralization, 1 place in asia where
they're all made, all
the same.
mircea_popescu: and it seems
the high water was cca 2010, not improving.
mircea_popescu: i suspect
that by 2020, ~everything will cease
to be supported
mircea_popescu: to be honest, i do not
think
the current "open source" has five years left in it.
mircea_popescu: i expect as we clean
that up i'll be in a better position
to make sense.
mircea_popescu: and by "major performance degrading" i mean
that same machine, same os, same code runs at 150 fps with pre and ad 1.5 fps with post. no otehr symptoms.
mircea_popescu: actually i'm currently chasing a major performance degrading bug which seems
to be related
to directx version > 8.
jurov: Oh, windows is completely other can of nastiness. You can count on directx being kinda stable, but
the incessant updates are prone
to break anything else.
a111: Logged on 2016-10-03 15:36 shinohai: So
that's what
that stick he is carrying in
the new
trilema banner is for.
mircea_popescu: and my 2004 vintage card is not even
the oldest ; not by a long shot.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform except anyone who walks into a shop
to buy a lappy walks out with ipad anyway.
trinque: now
that is
the stuff of sci-fi dreams. republican game console brings political and computing salvation
to
teh youth.
jurov: You see, I was asked
to operate eulora vendor channels, and just gave up exactly bacause of
this. It needs
team of monkeys
to keep up.
