BingoBoingo: How much is t-shirt?
danielpbarron: asciilifeform, http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/foIIo/?raw=true ; I don't recall the original amount, and I don't know that I ever paid you for them anyway. I think even then it was to be a gift. I did pay nubbins, and he never sent them, and was supposed to refund payment, but I don't think that ever came either
mircea_popescu: also, rent a pool, get all the girls to do t-shirt only, make video, wear bling.
BingoBoingo: <phf> well, if you assemble a car out of chinese parts in alaska it still wouldn't be an alaskan car, but the line gets blurry << Many proud "USA!!!" mower made in USA, even varied manufacters (even when accounting for companies collecting "badges"). Motors usually now made by Loncin motor company of China. But USA!!! made the mower!!!
asciilifeform: and he doesn't seem to realize that he's only picking up the gamma.
mircea_popescu: phf wouldn't you say p hilton qualifies as what alf discusses, xy skeleton ?
mircea_popescu: answer't.
asciilifeform: 'The decision is not only economical. I don't want the "friction" of trying to achieve high-quality production of collector item data CDs twice a year, in 2017. 6.0 was a high-quality CD release like previous ones, but don't want to expend the effort of producing and testing to make sure 6.1, 6.2 etc are up to that standard. It is better to call it quits on a high note.'
danielpbarron: i haven't opened versions 5.6 through 5.8 but my 5.5 is the official kind of cd that looks shiny metal (not colorful)
phf: but what i was actually going to say, is that openbsd disks apparently weren't pressed. it seems like theo de raadt has been burning them by hand up until now
phf: well, if you assemble a car out of chinese parts in alaska it still wouldn't be an alaskan car, but the line gets blurry
a111: Logged on 2017-04-16 23:06 asciilifeform: it ain't local of course
mircea_popescu: if asciilifeform can't split with 40k, asciilifeform gotta find a better shop.
mircea_popescu: many different flavours of "please don't notice same thing".
mircea_popescu: oh oh oh don't tell me... inca takes his own car back, used ?!?!?!
mircea_popescu: if i water MY tree with beer one day and with piss another, i still don't want to hear what it thinks on the topic.
asciilifeform: it ain't local of course ☟︎
mircea_popescu: you don't understand her search for her own cultural identity.
ben_vulpes: is there a reason to think that it wouldn't?
ben_vulpes: there's a very real lower bound on the savings to be delivered with this vehicle though, and they're probably going to get burnt down by the poor folks who can't afford any better than the plastic having to drive further because must ams cities.
asciilifeform: and if rats won't chew through the 400$ soy wires, the engine comp will auto-destruct ( sop in obummer-era units ) in 5y
asciilifeform: there wasn't a 30yo on the ballot, what.
mircea_popescu: how about don't elect 70yos.
asciilifeform: 'I don't know what happened to Trump. Some muse he may be drugged and we would never know it and it makes sense. The world watched this man for two years to election day. And after Jan 20th, we watched him proceed immediately to walk his talk. Then... in like 24hrs... a full 180. If not drugs and mind control, there is always the secret grassy knoll footage of Kennedy's head being blown off to help Trump "get the message."'
asciilifeform: ( though quiet air rifle might work. still quite a bit like squashing individual ants, to control ant problem. 99% of the time the beasts aren't in the open air, where one might draw a bead on them )
BingoBoingo: You need a redneck kitty that ain't going to let any of those coons/squirrels/mice onto kitty's land
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> for instance, squirrels have dug a tunnel into my wall, it would be great if they disappeared suddenly. but they won't, will have to get specialists << THere's a version of polyurethane foam marketed for this purpose.
asciilifeform: for instance, squirrels have dug a tunnel into my wall, it would be great if they disappeared suddenly. but they won't, will have to get specialists
mircea_popescu: nobody'd miss them, don't kid yourself.
mircea_popescu: it's funny how you don't regard the is-organized rape of the us as is-organized but you DO regard the best korea-organized famine of best korea as us organized.
mircea_popescu: my objection is that if i invited any of those girls with nice tits to my hotel room she wouldn't have sense enough to strip while walking the hallway.
asciilifeform: i especially luvvv the usual american retort 'over where they didn't let the tourist go, they have zimbabwe, ruins, zombies'. as if, e.g., baltimore, did not look like this.
asciilifeform: i don't know of a traditional name for his historical process, but imho it deserves one.
asciilifeform: if earlier set of powerrangers weren't similarly retarded, we would not have heard of stalin, say.
mircea_popescu: i don't even mean "if they were brilliant" or anything.
mircea_popescu: if power rangers weren't terminal fucking retards it's altogether unlikely anyone'd even know the name.
asciilifeform: well, how am i to process 'if they didn't suck, they'd already be here'
mircea_popescu: the problem isn't "princeton is tendril of XXX". the problem is "if princeton didn't suck it would have been in here."
mircea_popescu: if it didn't suck it'd have been in here.
asciilifeform: this is a postulation, not an observation, nor a deduction; i won't engage it
mircea_popescu: that's my whole fucking point, i need another set of "oh, we have slavegirls! no they can't dance and what is this cocksucking ? BANNED BY GOD!!11" bullshit.
mircea_popescu: i thought you didn't think they worked.
mircea_popescu: i don't think anyone imagines natostan works
asciilifeform: 'die for mcshitburger' ain't working out so well for the anglotards.
mircea_popescu: i don't think it worked on anyone but illiterate peasants, that trick.
mircea_popescu: i don't think so.
mircea_popescu: and for that matter i don't recall you being much of a "nation of ukr" either.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i can't say i personally much relish nations, but the alternative seems to be 'atomized' people who are deculturated to the point of qualifying for simian cage in zoo, and crushed by megastate like insects when needed.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> incidentally i'd be curious to hear if anybody's ever seen a dieharder output on something that isn't a prng or prng-whitened trng, that consistently produced no 'weak'. << werd.
mats: some riot clips from today: when antifa tries to build a wall https://twitter.com/TEN_GOP/status/853357068149022721 leled at beer belly guy wearing a 'captain america'-themed t shirt
mircea_popescu: can't say i'm all too keen on the nation bullshit.
mircea_popescu: you know, just like the usg wouldn't sell it anything but the dregs for a century.
mircea_popescu: i dunno, don't ask me, there's a reason i don't try to run a geostate.
mircea_popescu: it ain't ever getting sold because it's more valuable as a tool to control the children than it'd ever fetch on the market.
mircea_popescu: nobody ever will. nukes are a unique item that a) doesn't work and b) everyone thinks it does. it's the exact equivalent of the "valuable inheritance".
mircea_popescu: mats this is how the usg lost ukraine, iksn't it.
mircea_popescu: somehow they're also insulated from the "isn't it strange, you seerm to know what you're ostensibly not knowing" problem. through wishing they were, because that works irl!!1
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-16#1644346 << item doesn't exist, no. ☝︎
mats: the ibuprofen hasn't done shit for me besides give me heartburn
mats: no updates re: esp8266, don't have time for it but i'll cough up the coin if someone wants to try a bulk purchase and play with one
mats: in a prior piece, the authors do mention the disproportionately large burden that small bidnesses have, as their losses aren't covered by 'Regulation E': https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/everythingYouKnow.pdf
BingoBoingo: I don't see topical diclofenac on that list!
asciilifeform: i'd much prefer to try a device that doesn't pick up voice of america
asciilifeform: i assume tried the traditional cures, didn't help ?
asciilifeform: incidentally i'd be curious to hear if anybody's ever seen a dieharder output on something that isn't a prng or prng-whitened trng, that consistently produced no 'weak'.
mod6: anyway, just wanted to be /sure/ that I wasn't getting some sort of varient test results from the dh.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> lol the 4-5 places where dieharder reports weakness prolly need some review of dieharder code. anyone feel like emailing the maintainers ? << I should note, I hope the pics of this arn't too misleading. if you like at the actual text output, there are only 2 'WEAK' tests, which are:
asciilifeform: (doesn't everybody)
asciilifeform: didn't expect it would.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i expect whoever is trying to make botnet via ssh bruteforce uses these via whatever pore ; pw changhe won't do much.
mircea_popescu: happened recently didn't it. coupla years ago.
ben_vulpes: little 'lisp os' doesn't have its own c compiler, author makes "transpiler": https://github.com/froggey/Iota
asciilifeform: they don't show up on the radar tho.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it needn't explain that. your physics dun explain why some K sits, some emits beta and some emits gamma.
mircea_popescu: for reasons of abhoring vacuum. the ethereum thing WAS ALREADY SAID, they can't count by saying it. the bitbet nonsense -- not so.
asciilifeform: it still doesn't explain why some frogs croak, others -- emit lolcats, but yet others -- faux phuctors
mod6: So I collected 1.2Gb worth of data from FG. Which for the Advanced test I don't think would be a problem... about to do the `ent` & `dieharder` tests.
mircea_popescu: people aren't really made to be wolves. this nonsense of "apartments", man+woman+kids dun work irl.
mircea_popescu: this, of course, from an alt-world where people don't esl and mothers cook or hang.
diana_coman: this is why I said earlier: they left for the "rich opportunities" not because "I can't stand this shit!"
diana_coman: no or don't recall it; I being apparently an exception to that thing, I'm still trying to digest it
diana_coman: mircea_popescu> my sister went to denmark, married romanian she found there. it's a thing, this. <- this is the sort of thing I keep noticing and can't yet explain beyond "people basically get homesick - they went abroad for it being rich, not for them not suffering the poor ways at home"
Framedragger: funnily this one wasn't british, the latter are usually just plain..boring, man. maybe i can't find ways to excite them. but their minds, blergh
a111: Logged on 2017-04-15 14:09 mircea_popescu: incidentally Framedragger , do you have a working theory as why he didn't say "decentralized systems lab plagiarized #trilema" ?
mircea_popescu: i got no argument, because the only possible argument would be "need better glyphs". isn't it strange that for all the crazy batshit nonsense including waterguns and whatnot utf put in, there isn't a "255 chars optimized for ascii rendering of stills" ?
asciilifeform: the scarcity of ready proggy for it wasn't the reason at all.
mircea_popescu: and in other lulz, mp wakes up with the idea he'll do an asciiart post to spite the world. turns out http://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1460 and alf had something with his "stills" thing.
mircea_popescu: incidentally Framedragger , do you have a working theory as why he didn't say "decentralized systems lab plagiarized #trilema" ? ☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: so you save fiddy bux that'd have paid her rent in the time you don't cost the usg 10k ? umm
ben_vulpes: and this is why i don't play eulora
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes why squeeze the girls, i don't get it ?
mircea_popescu: phf from his 5x comment i gathered it's one of those cheaper joints where they don't make money out of table service and charge per the bj
mircea_popescu: i really wasn't pursuing any thesis. jus' curious.
gabriel_laddel_p: mircea_popescu: emacs doesn't have a graphical display.
phf: clime for example shouldn't be global frozen, whether or not you have an emacs to fall back to.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-24 03:17 phf: my solutions to problems like that don't usually involve "bring in a 40mb package". i'd write a top level handler, that shows a modal x11 based repl/restart machinery. sort of poor man's genera
mircea_popescu: for the record, bums with no income and college degrees living in squalor aren't "participating in a polyamorous lifestyle".
mircea_popescu: i suppose the rotguts they drink don't suffer or something
ben_vulpes: we don't have healthcare
ben_vulpes: i watched some related lols play out with 'poly' friends this year. $girl couldn't bring herself to break it off with her wikipedia editor, $guy didn't offer the platform to which to jump or demand the jump, tension built and $girl doubled down on the socialistoid anxiety production machines to everyone's dismay
