mircea_popescu: i am starting to suspect civ was a lot more influential than previously realised --a whole generation of morons literally imagine "the nation of africa" was spawned forh by shaka the bahamas.
asciilifeform: some reason i thought there were a ro variant
asciilifeform: you folx even have a zurna, i think
asciilifeform: i suspected
asciilifeform: btw am i the only one who sees a klezmer flavour in the trad ro jazzy style
mircea_popescu: (i just mean the my spoken segment, not the whole atrocity)
mircea_popescu: haha. i suspect genetically engineered repeater bug a ways off yet.
asciilifeform: ( might be interesting to contemplate a power source that runs on guano funnel, but i suspect there is substantial devil in the details )
asciilifeform: i imagine errything in mircea_popescustan gets coated in quetzal shit in 6months tops
mircea_popescu: i dun see a problem, tbh
mod6: Hi all, I wanted to get some review, on this manifest file that would be introduced into trb. It would be placed inside the 'bitcoin' directory along the 'Makefile' and 'src' directories. It follows trinque's proposal here: http://trinque.org/2018/06/02/v-manifest-specification ☟︎
diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-07#1848476 -> I might as well mention then that I will redirect noobs to #ossasepia where they can perhaps attempt to learn something or otherwise get banned ☝︎

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you and i may be the last folx still using sed and awk, they gathered dust since perlism plague began ☟︎
mircea_popescu: in today's wonderment, why the FUCK is it i can say sed 's%x%y%g' or sed 's^p^q^g' but can NOT say awk '%a%,%b%' ?! ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2018-09-07 23:46 asciilifeform: asked in the derp chan, https://irclog.whitequark.org/linux-rockchip/2018-09-07#23015323 , just on the off chance, but i expect 0 answer beyond the usual amstan type , i.e. 'fuck off and eat vendor liquishit'
mircea_popescu: i expect they get a "pew pew pew!" audio attachment next.
asciilifeform: two revolvers, hah. did he shoot 'macedonian style' i wonder
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i think it is clear that if digger aint willing to contemplate 'maybe i die before hole, but next one will dig, cross the barbed wire over my corpse' will dig no serious holes.
asciilifeform: lol i just today reread that one
mircea_popescu: "I am not to be common, Kyle, ok? I am a creature like no other. I know that. I am a creature like no other. And I will not -- I willnot be common. " ☟︎
asciilifeform: ( i can see why asciilifeform's approach, 'dig for years with a spoon, maybe eventually make hole' is not 'sexy' and does not appeal. but it imho beats splat. )
asciilifeform: 'if i close eyes wall will surely vanish'
mircea_popescu: i recall.
asciilifeform: the sad bit, tho, is that he gave up pretty early on re: actually making the thing boot on physical iron. erry copy i got hold of, ran in vmware strictly.
asciilifeform: aha, prolly thought 'i'ma push it aside with little finger'
mircea_popescu: i would suppose it wasn't so much suicide as the train failing to correctly play the part fucktard assigned it in fucktard's own WoWoW.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: all i see is 1st para
asciilifeform: i'm not even convinced that billing's 'britain run by fags' thing were untrue. but the part where it is 'from german wreckers' is pretty rich
mircea_popescu: so : something i nthe vein of reddit investigative journalists uncovering the pizza hut hilary clinton pedophilia scandal, if you recall that.
mircea_popescu: and i'll expand, but read the references first.
asciilifeform: as i understand , it was a perfectly decent meatgrinder, 'speshul snowflake'-eater
mircea_popescu: if i were a snail, i suppose i also would want to be paid for leaving slime trails.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i find it interesting that ww1 didn't cure him
asciilifeform: i suspect you can get moar 'big break' selling wine to winos, than the written word, in whatever form
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform amusingly enough, i knew a chick like that ; she was going to get her big break in poetry IN CLUJ
diana_coman: this reminds of that time when they had a "drama taster" at nursery and I asked him whether he liked it: "I liked it; a bit; not as much as playing with the hammer!"
mircea_popescu: i's true, actually. QUITE A LOT!
asciilifeform: sometimes ~entirely identical -- i recall reading of one physics d00d who was convinced that he will 'get rich' in nyc, selling... poetry
a111: Logged on 2018-09-08 14:34 mircea_popescu: the cab driver with a leningrad doctorate, gone to new york to "this is america!" is almost endearing ; the iowa farm girl gone to new york to "i r become a writer" is just...
mircea_popescu: "i met hanbot ; life changed thereon
diana_coman: I'm actually impressed that the chateaubriand did not feature on 2nd place at least, lol
diana_coman: I can't say I don't see his logic there
mircea_popescu: the cab driver with a leningrad doctorate, gone to new york to "this is america!" is almost endearing ; the iowa farm girl gone to new york to "i r become a writer" is just... ☟︎
mircea_popescu: to a large degree for the same fgucking reason, i suppose : that it only ever existed in the mind of a very select few, who however didn't have the excuse of poverty, or of distance, or of so very many other things that protect the rusophone moron from the full brunt of his wilful stupidity.
mircea_popescu: in random lulz : i re-watched flawless (of http://trilema.com/2013/the-typologies-of-homosexuality-reprint/#selection-153.28-153.74 fame) and omfg is it a piece of agitprop to make sovfilm proud! the drag queen may be a female impersonator, but the "retired hero cop" (ie, very much a http://trilema.com/2018/the-night-of-the-hunter/#selection-133.0-133.544 type character) "is a male impersonator". because see, gender ideals ar
asciilifeform: somehow i can't picture him as anyffing else
asciilifeform: ( or to use trad terminology, 'bricked'. tho i have 'unbricker' nao, possibly the only one outside of the inca palace for this iron )
asciilifeform: ( i.e. where to cut )
asciilifeform: interestingly, the dram init turd differs from the stock rk3399. and doesn't seem to be published in their repo. i'd like to try ripping theirs, but so far not even able to determine where it ends and their booter begins
asciilifeform: initially i assumed that stock rk3399 uboot will do ~something~ detectable, even tho it lacks support for the lcd or the oddball kbd chip, given as i have uart
asciilifeform: all i really need from the bootrom is to do what uboot on pogo did, i.e. see the disks ( internal ssd, usb, sd ) , read some classic partitions ( e.g. ext3 ), load kernels ( in human, not google, format ) and present pogo-style uboot cmdline for these.
mircea_popescu: or that, i guess.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-07 23:41 asciilifeform: one possible path could be to start with google's crapola 'depthcharge' booter src, but it won't build (tried) with standard tooling, and currently i haven't a box where to put their horror show
a111: Logged on 2018-09-07 15:10 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: what i dun get , is what all of these folx are hoping to find here. outside of the flies model, i got nuffin.

asciilifeform: the reason for this, i do not know, could be the gcc6 idjicy (my uboot , once i nixed the check for gcc6, builds without eggogs, but who's to say re output), or could be wrong magic turd, or who the fuck knows
asciilifeform: mod6: i enabled root login on the thing with temporary pw, lessee if it comes up
asciilifeform: mod6: i tested you rk drive blockwise: it has no physical defects
a111: Logged on 2018-06-18 21:03 asciilifeform: i.e. 'hi i am goat and i expect this to work just like all goat pens i've sat in'

rain2: you've spent a lot of lines insulting me so if I may respond? you seem to have made totally false assumption about me. I just thought it was an interesting topic and that people would be interested here. I stopped talking about it when they said it was uninteresting. No need to paint me like some adversary.. I just wanted to talk to fun people.
BingoBoingo: Ah like the Mario 'I R Hakkker fellow'
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'm willing to talk to 'hey i read ffa and in ch4 you missed this-here obvious optimization, here's proof'. but 'hi i am reddit, hear me roar' can go the fuck perma-away.
mircea_popescu: i dunno anything burned.
asciilifeform: how do you say in eng пойти вразнос ? i.e. when engine governor fails and it redlines and burns
asciilifeform: i.e. unbeat, they brought up lewises?
asciilifeform: ( or do i misframe the q, and it simply exhausted its allotted life tank )
mircea_popescu: "From the 1750s, as with other Oxford colleges, standards dropped." << i'd say for the record that's about the right cutoff. by the time victorian period was starting, poor oxford was well threadbare already.
diana_coman: I must say that I read lewis' narnia very late, mainly to see what the whole buzz was all about but it seemed a very poor and sorry thing to me so I still don't know what is supposed to be amazing about it
diana_coman: that's what it sounded to me too although I'd have thought there was more than "they know stuff" to whatever reputation there might be there; then again, sorrying one's way out of answering a question is the same pick and choose approach so not surprising
a111: Logged on 2018-09-07 10:31 diana_coman: mircea_popescu, that Kirk fellow sounds great and I'd rather have read something written by him than lewis
mircea_popescu: diana_coman i suppose we have a "reputation" among the script kiddies ahem i mean "hackers" etcetera.
mircea_popescu: upping someone new, i mean.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, that Kirk fellow sounds great and I'd rather have read something written by him than lewis ☟︎
rain1: someone did a trick where they put some text in the filename, kinda like how you get novelty bitcoin addresses. and i was wondering how to do it
diana_coman: I doubt twitter really interested anyone around here all that much; what does it matter how twitter picks image filenames?
rain1: I wanted to ask if anybody knew how twitter image filenames were derived from the file content. there's a bit of info about the url structure but no explanation which hash algorithm is used
rain1: i never know how to answer that. I work on some code projects
BingoBoingo: I have not, ella no se como se dice esos en español
BingoBoingo: I am explaining to the Peruana that you have boats
mircea_popescu: this is like "oh, cancer... i don't have it". MAYBE ONE DAY YOU DO MOTHERFUCKER!!1
BingoBoingo: Wasn't too bad for me. I walk
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> but yes, "countryside". why the fuck would i bother, it's to ohot and too humid. << This and the marijuana is why Uruguay gets away with pretending to have an economy
mircea_popescu: but yes, "countryside". why the fuck would i bother, it's to ohot and too humid.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> cheap negress & mulato whores dancing naked in the streets because why the hell not is one thing. but "organization" and pantsuitism-- never. << I have heard these places still exist in Brazil, but not from people who live there or who spend more than a couple days at a time.
mircea_popescu: what the fuck would i do without this thing ?! trilema is not possible without itself.
BingoBoingo: That meshes with what I hear of Rio
mircea_popescu: if the year were 1918, i'd definitely go. as it is, holy shit no.
mircea_popescu: i was going to go to rio, for about the same sort of "oh, great party!" naivite that had me go to argentina. in the light of experience i had the relevant parts researched, and now i know i don't want to go to the rio festival in the late 2010s anymore than i want to buy real estate in miami.
asciilifeform: asciilifeform is specifically curious, re why brazil, afaik the 1 serious country in the whole landmass, is also half dour shithole ( asciilifeform's extended wot includes at least 1 d00d who went to brazil for physics conf and came back as 'cargo 200' , so i suspect the reputation aint entirely mythical )
mircea_popescu: i did some brazillian pieces, but never actually visited brazil.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: lol wat plastic. i dun think the ar folx at this point can even make molds.
mircea_popescu: i can take argentines starving slightly later if they sink usg along.
mircea_popescu: i hope they starve ; to the last man.
mircea_popescu: one of the most satisfying things i ever did in my entire life was contribute my contribution to the ending of that shithole.
BingoBoingo: When I got here it was ~20 to 25
mircea_popescu: was 16 by the time i left, and i see coupla years ago it well... OFFICIALLY almost doubled, really more than tripled.
mircea_popescu: (trump was proferring his "full support": for macri at the fmi. thoiugh i much doubt the fmi has any money to burn on that dead end)
