trinque: I haven't one, is why
ben_vulpes: no reason one couldn't compile a kernel for it, right?
asciilifeform: i don't even presently have 1.
phf: it was always the case. you deploye whatever custom app through standard xcode/blah infrastructure. you can't do it as a casual of course
ben_vulpes: "here's a taste of life as curated by the competent, aren't you mad at the fake lifestyle you've been fed?"
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: users don't get a choice any more, not really
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: well you don't go through the censors obvs
ben_vulpes: nevertheless, the response is "holy fuck, i haven't had this much fun playing games on my phone...ever!"
ben_vulpes: the moo3 rewrite for touchscreen isn't a...bad...rewrite...
asciilifeform: i haven't met a likable touchpad game, yet
mircea_popescu: \wouldn't you like to link your facebook profile ? for security ? and etc ?
Framedragger: don't forget radium "shines at night!" toothpaste
mircea_popescu: it's a wonder you don't drive a ford pickup
mircea_popescu: trinque i got some 100 MBps pipes, but yeah, can't just pop a random 50 whatever from radio shack on me
trinque: doesn't need gigs of ram and 64bit
phf: "How come he doesn't know it? Because he's got flies in his eyes. How can he see he's got flies in his eyes if he's got flies in his eyes?"
asciilifeform: if mircea_popescu wants to inhabit a mental universe where 'there is no such thing as original technology' and xerox parc circa 1970s is exactly same thing as microshit today -- i can't possibly stop him.
mircea_popescu: look, turn it how you will. you got a serious hole in your brain. dun wanna fix it, fine, but that dun mean you don't have it. you do.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-20 17:21 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform peons don't enter into it. the sort of captives in the consolidated shit of their own head who ask for a "solid, useful knowhow item" and then IMMEDIATELY retort "it isn't innovative" when such is presented, however... those doods have problems.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-20#1629499 << as i understand 'innovative' is a barf trigger word for mircea_popescu , but i don't know of a more appropriate word. if q is re 'what useful things did you lift from microshit', and someone suggests 'fat16', i can only answer 'it was not innovation, did not originate from the loins of microshit.' ☝︎
asciilifeform: (and quite certainly won't do mods, even if entire cost is covered)
mircea_popescu: ugh. weren't we discussing rents ? wtf already.
asciilifeform: they dun want to do 'work'. 'this hovel was good enough for the others, it oughta be good enough for you, if you won't take it there are 25 others who will'
asciilifeform: but also, as i learned experimentally, one that doesn't create 'work' for the owner. for instance, i went to a great many folx who were letting out houses, and they wouldn't hear of 'install dishwasher', even when offered 100% of the (not especially frightening) cost of this mod.
mircea_popescu: depends. irl good tenant is one who doesn't damage the property more than what he pays in rent.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform peons don't enter into it. the sort of captives in the consolidated shit of their own head who ask for a "solid, useful knowhow item" and then IMMEDIATELY retort "it isn't innovative" when such is presented, however... those doods have problems. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i've yet to meet someone who lets as a living, even if part time, who wouldn't kill for a good tenant.
asciilifeform: i wasn't at their negotiation table, have nfi how it went.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: you didn't feel any appreciation while reverse engineering rootkits targetting NT kernel? :) just curious
mircea_popescu: you didn';t say "innovative"
asciilifeform: ( i don't recall, in my entire working life, cribbing a useful, solid piece of technical knowhow from microshit. )
a111: Logged on 2017-03-20 01:03 mircea_popescu: i don't recall being as pissed off with fat32 at any point throughout the 90s as i've regularly been hence.
ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-16#1628104 << tripped over the "won't connect to localhost" horseshit iirc, which you've fixed ☝︎
ben_vulpes: except for how it's a miserable shitshow of liars and frauds and also you have to sell shit they won't actually benefit from to bureaucrats
mircea_popescu: o wait, lockheed martin thing doesn't actually fly either
trinque: ben_vulpes: isn't trimet some kind of quasi-governmental tick sucking on not one, but two states?
mircea_popescu: moreover fuck the "it's going to take". you want me to own an item i can't price to market ? hurr.
mircea_popescu: and especially these days, when they don't even own the capital goods in any sense whatsoever.
mircea_popescu: i don't think there's a case in history where the shareholders got their money's worth.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: to be fair, anyone who didn't liquidate a week before jobs' illness hit the rags is a derp who got what they deserved
mircea_popescu: same here. new slavegirl, haven't slept since sat.
ben_vulpes: if you don't own it, what the fuck is the point fixing it?
ben_vulpes: you can't spend all that energy confronting her with her own mistakes, let her walk out, digest it, and the next man benefit
mircea_popescu: and for that matter, who's to say a simple move to 64 bits doesn't resolve the problem altogether. but anyway, i'm more making a point than proposing a technical solution.
Framedragger: afraid i didn't catch this particular drift, sir
mircea_popescu: i don't recall being as pissed off with fat32 at any point throughout the 90s as i've regularly been hence. ☟︎
mod6: The role was put on hold since I wrote `t', and 'tb0t', but might come back up again at a later date.
mircea_popescu: sure, wasn't re you, was about his ticket.
Framedragger: (yeah mircea_popescu afraid i won't have time re. those other two till quite a bit later)
mod6: i started working on it very briefly ... maybe 7-10 days in like ... december. but haven't touched it since.
mircea_popescu: mod6 doesn't seem all that slow going from here :)
mod6: Heh, I'm working on a major update to T, also. It's been a bit slow-going as that isn't obviously the most high priority item.
Framedragger: yeah :) i obviously didn't have any meaningful connection with him before he died, and this was the first semi-personal thing that honestly made me sad
Framedragger: that wasn't a joke question...
Framedragger: (probably wasn't clear, i mean the photo, i've read the blog before. ..almost looks like it was shot on film or sth)
mircea_popescu: in further lulz : tar is not able to create directories with an @ in them (why ? because they don't quote, obviously), yet they're standard in exim inbox saving. ergo, can't safely tar.gz exim directory.
mircea_popescu: motherfucker. so run gzip -t on an archive, it... ends silenty.
mod6: ahh, ok. i wasn't even totally aware that you needed software along with the tool. i thought that the sample was just fed back to you on the little screen...
mircea_popescu: i'm sure. wasn't much of a problem in general in the z80s days
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-18#1629015 << odds are it couldn't be re-done in a current fab, the vast majority of current fab constraints go towards avoiding echos and other self-crits the design may impose upon itself. as the engineers at the time didn't labour under the same constraints, and they're cutting out way more than 99% of the theoretical design space, the odds their work product would work in 14nm process are ze ☝︎
phf: i don't have an alpha though, same reason i don't have a macivory, i don't want to have to study/rely on all these other architectures
asciilifeform: phf wouldn't happen to know the pinout, by any chance ..?
a111: Logged on 2017-03-18 14:19 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-18#1628912 << whoever it was, he has problems paying, apparently, i bid on the 'macivory' and ended up getting '2nd chance offer, high bidder didn't pay' from seller
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-18#1628941 << he was offered an out on his later trades, because "why buy a macivory if you already bought a better macivory??", but i don't think he's going to take it ☝︎
mircea_popescu: but whatever, "who could have predicted" and "nobody wants a govt job anyway so you can't fire us."
mircea_popescu: not how it works irl on any models that don't include "we need to be seen as doing something please god" as a hard constraint.
asciilifeform: 'i can't believe it's not bitcoin'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you don't see what the point for deeds is ?!
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-18#1628912 << whoever it was, he has problems paying, apparently, i bid on the 'macivory' and ended up getting '2nd chance offer, high bidder didn't pay' from seller ☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-18#1628916 << my opterons don't have a throttled clock, physically ☝︎
mircea_popescu: add to this that there's a long list of such must-know (o hey, bought new house in so and so zone ? does it have a basement ? here's your geiger counter. what do you mean you don't understand ? atten-hut! nobody asked you what you understand, and it'll be 49.95
mircea_popescu: tyranny, exactly. "do this or die." that's the definition. and it's not yielding : if the wife/husband have the intellectual wherewithal to understand the whys and wherefores, fine, and bully for them. but if they do not -- it isn't thereby going away, lol.
mircea_popescu: which is WHY the "dun fuck your sister" thing is such a huge taboo : a) it will kill you and b) you won't notice. that's the problem with these boiled frogs scenarios, from carbon monoxide poisoning to sibling conception to etc : you got no warning bells connected to THIS failure mode.
Framedragger: it doesn't do that for me (but i'm yet to double check that some 'additional' powersaving / freq scaling features are not enabled)
Framedragger: s/doesn't/isn't/
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: i'm probably doing sth wrong but now one of the two replies i just posted is marked as awaiting moderation and the other doesn't; sorry if i broke some bytes
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2016/gossipd-design-document/#comment-121602 (hey thread wasn't finished) :)
a111: Logged on 2017-03-17 22:59 BingoBoingo still not sure "racoon" story wasn't just a "das racis" joke
mircea_popescu: there's about 6-700k "career" dorks who won't be making their mortage payments this year.
BingoBoingo still not sure "racoon" story wasn't just a "das racis" joke ☟︎
pete_dushenski: trinque: lol some of us are more cerebral than sexual. mebbe can't 'get out of own way' but it's what it is.
trinque: lol, in fact, isn't it whores that focus on the value proposition!? (I kid)
pete_dushenski: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-17#1628693 << i didn't know that there were ~any~ plusses to having just one girl. now i do! ☝︎
pete_dushenski has never skiied in switzerland or italy, can't speak to liveliness of apres-ski culture there
pete_dushenski: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-17#1628641 >> snowboarding encourages this kind of flat ass falling. no wonder i'm noticing more girlies in 20s and 30s switching ~back~ to two planks after two decades of keeping up with the cool kids (who incidentally aren't cool anymore) ☝︎
pete_dushenski: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-17#1628632 << this is a good point actually. falling ~intentionally~ is exceedingly valuable. please to forgive my lack of qualifier in the article. I learned to ski when i was 3 and certainly can't remember those early learning days! ☝︎
pete_dushenski: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-17#1628622 and http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-17#1628630 << you guys must've spent too much time together in portland. "gimme muh comfuurt!" an unexpected angle to be sure. can't say i quite agree as to the supreme value of wearing silk underwear on the daily. ☝︎☝︎
pete_dushenski: well that was a healthy bit of condom/helmet debate wasn't it. and yet not a single comment on the article! for shame.
mircea_popescu: large items are hard for the brain to grasp, but it makes a fucking difference if it's pea sized or black hole sized. not SIMPLY because "oh, can't lift it", but because the universe does not scale liniarily.
trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-17#1628645 << nah nobody suggests doing that. I went looking for where you said something about wealthy muslims having the stables full of expendable males, didn't find. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i can't tell you how great it is to have trilema. half the shit i forgot about by now, i can get lost in there for hours.
mircea_popescu: dude don't miss out, you'll be old and sorry you didn't photograph all the sluts in all the rooms of all the houses + sidewalks + etc.
mircea_popescu: civilian cunt likely doesn't have the fine muscle control, but there's a very thin sphyncter at vaginal entry. though in most girls it's traumatized by bad defloration.
asciilifeform: it is not directly analogous, no. merely reminiscent. chick doesn't have a spindle glove can catch on and wind you around, crushing like insect ( at least mine doesn't, i can't speak for others ... )
mircea_popescu: not so sure this is a valid comparison, though. the machinist interacts with the machine with his hands. you're fucking her alright, but you don't interact with her with your penis in the same sense. not by a damned sight.
mircea_popescu: well we can't all be pro cuntolgists.
mircea_popescu: so they don't know what a cum rag is, or a wet spot ?
asciilifeform: you can't, notably, buy a bidet in american household crud stores
mircea_popescu: but ~everyone fucks on beds. i mean, i can see now and again taking girl out on nature walk and generously allowing her to lay on her back in the mud so you don't have to dirty yourself fucking her. but...
asciilifeform: hey there are folx whose parachute didn't open.
