trinque: the claim that china cannot do anything involving what's currently understood
as "computing" is not nearly the same one
as "can create asciilifeform's personally designed diamondputer"
mircea_popescu: anyway. it's evident that the cray which the us used (ie, max centralization) doesn't work for this. arguably it didn't even work for the us, in 1950. it's vaguely clear that per-rocket chips
as currently used (ie, max decentralization) also doesn't work - for obvious computational reasons.
trinque: not
as fast yet, but who cares?
trinque: asciilifeform: lemme restate that the "stuckness by sheer mass, age, etc" of gcc brings to mind a giant's dead body that, before it decomposes, maybe serves
as shelter or warmth
mircea_popescu: the problem here (
as well
as above, with llvm) is that without the strongarm to kill sipa / force obedience from hardware vendors etc, you will never be able to make a compiler that works
trinque: asciilifeform: I could
as easily say this whole "free software" thing ruined the industry and start from *there*
mod6: maybe review should be left
as an exercise for us all
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> mod6 guy that started
as a tester a year ago is now qualified to the point of check him out huh! << yeah! pretty helpful over the last year to have a dedicated individual such
as shinohai to help specifically test. and yeah! seems to be a handy bot mechanic.
mircea_popescu: incidentally trinque since deedbot is keeping its own set anyway, can there be register pastebin_link
as well ?
trinque: I should've known, bot with the tetragrammaton
as nick...
shinohai: RE: "Sorry, I won't accept your ads. Due to this, I view Mircea Popescu
as totally unethical."
mircea_popescu: mod6 guy that started
as a tester a year ago is now qualified to the point of check him out huh!
mircea_popescu: if svg weren't such bullshit this'd be pretty stupid. but
as it is - i actually prefer it. but txt plox not html.
deedbot: 4A770EFC84943B04C4001A1D7A788522C8FBE0DA registered
as Nivir.
mircea_popescu: but im sure they'll find some jews to blame.
as per sop.
shinohai: Funny enough, igolder hasn't existed
as a "company" for quite some time.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform hm, i guess in context it's not really
as shocking
as it seemed
Bugpowder: It does worry me, but I put that into the known unknowns category of risks. And pricing risk adjusted EV, still makes sense for me to hold a signifcant crypto fraction in XMR
as printer of new bitcoin. It’s harder these days to print BTC without MPOE-bot.
Bugpowder:
As for the controlling issue, coopting of the project is certainly a major risk moving forward, but I do think you have too much confidence in the sophistication and coordinatino of usgov.
mircea_popescu: in principle this can be said about anything just
as well ; whether that anything exists or doesn't.
shinohai: Nothing stands out to me
as special about, has blockchain bloat, I'd rather use Bitcoin to buy drugs.
shinohai:
As asciilifeform says, I see nothing in monero even worth stealing
a111: Logged on 2016-09-01 20:36 mircea_popescu: "The sports casters are blaming back to school shopping,
as if kids never before got outfitted for school at the and of August." << ahahaha. mno.
as if anyone in the us has any money to spend. that's the big fucking point. usg.agitprop is talking about some wholly hallucinated shoping, that in their feverish imagination is so outsized
as to keep people away from baseball even ?
pete_dushenski: "Two months before Obama arrived, the government presided over what was widely considered a sham election, in which the ruling party won all 547 seats in Parliament, But Obama, making it clear that security trumped other concerns in the Horn of Africa, stood beside Meles’s successor, Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn, and described the government
as being “democratically elected.”
pete_dushenski:
as if it isn't happening. or can just be "unhappened" if it inconveniently does
mircea_popescu: maybe, vaguely, we might resurect something later that people who are really emotionalyl invested in their youth not having been wasted will misinterpret
as "we took it from google".
mircea_popescu: they'll deliver. you just buy your sprat by the pellet rather than by the box
as now. it keeps./
trinque: I am on a terribly laggy connection, but people there can be understood
as "manufacturers"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's much iffier because
as you've seen in the field, the idiots who are idiots once are going to be idiots forever
mircea_popescu: there's some periphrastic work but afaik i've not tackled this monster
as of yet.
PeterL: obnoxious thing about winblows #67542: using \
as a directory separator rather than / like other OSen. bleh.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i dunno that teeny self-opening herself counts
as self fucking.
mircea_popescu: you know diebold headquarters burns just like any other vinyl siding construction ; vaginal pear splits up andy matter's wife just
as well
as any other.
mircea_popescu: a) in a us-ru confrontation, ru wins ;
as they have won the past three ; b) only thing hillary wins is another pint of hagen dazs. woman's a born loser, and always ahs been.
mircea_popescu: and i'd be much surprised if there can be such a thing
as competition.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> and holy shit they solve captchas. like... by hand ? << Seriously the captcha problem
as been solved by the poverty solution.
mircea_popescu: "The sports casters are blaming back to school shopping,
as if kids never before got outfitted for school at the and of August." << ahahaha. mno.

shinohai: Hence my scary Venezuelan friend
as backup.
mircea_popescu: random street urchin with gang lord delusions however, may perceive you're in not
as good position to check their priviledge
as the ganglords are.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: aha! So same context of one "modding"? Or third party
as in, "Dude can have his complete own game running
as long
as it fits _this_ interface"
mircea_popescu: shinohai it's not "bickering". toldja 2x to use !~, an hour apart. next day you had changed it to > or some stupid shit and people were complaining, so it got devoiced. next time do critical fixes - such
as the control sequence of a chatbot - in real time or remove it yourself.
trinque: runs
as bad
as could be better, but I like it
mircea_popescu: you know how it goes, if you're the kind to miss out on it you'd have missed out on it if you went to college just
as well.
boolcrap: well
as long
as i didnt miss out on it by not going to college
boolcrap: yeah ive heard stories like that
as well ;o. I'll never understand
shinohai: o7 mod6 thanks! nice address this month
as always!
mircea_popescu: just
as every other "expert" opinion they ever came up with to date.
mircea_popescu: was part of a larger discussion cca 2015ish of the problem of unboundness in bitcoin. even
as it stands currently - you can end up with 2100000000000000 discrete items to keep track of ? really ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, this xerocopy argument, while at first convincing, readily recurses into a restatement of the children argument above ; but it is flawed because,
as granma wittily observed, "cartile nu cer demincare" ; ie books need not be fed.
mircea_popescu: i count self
as perhaps middling student of recursion,
as a soon to be 40yo. there's a lot to it, what do you want from me.
mircea_popescu: if we are to learn anything from the history of the 2nd millennium, is that marrying performance and lineage is suicidal. so fucking costly a stupidity, in fact,
as to sink monarchy, ie, the most perfect form of social organisation possible.
mircea_popescu: fortune is deeply not random when discussing girls. joe rapes rachel and
as a result rachel is tankful and joe has a new slave. moe tries to talk to sarah and is forced to waste 30 hours doing "sensitivity training"
mircea_popescu: some models who in practice hang out with them (this almost never happens, even in california) lure/force him into a pool. it's not exactly ~against~ his wishes ; it's irrespective of them, which is the point - males, esp young, esp virgin, are very fucking shy, and i dunno that this even exists, act of male devirgination which is not out and out "rape" by the female. certainly not at a sane age for it (such
as 15).
trinque: makefiles don't rebuild the buildroot step more than once, so a gentleman could emplace that just
as with the deeds, after having built one
mircea_popescu: anyway, "the technology" is rather uninteresting inasmuch
as the project lead deliberately avoided presenting it to the republic, in spite of being invited to do so twice.
Framedragger: yeah at least kirilica works. (though vi displays that
as [23:34:11] <asciilifeform> бÐ<9d>Ð<9e>Ð<9f>Ð<9d>Я Ð<92>ХРЮÐ<9a>? (tm) (r) because why not)
Framedragger: no wait. wait wait. btcbase's log displays them
as dashes. my irc client displays them
as questionmarks. that original dash - i'd assumed it was a dash from btcbase's log, i now surmise. i get questionmark in irc
mircea_popescu: this is the weirdest shit. so all these display
as dashes on my system : both yours, and mine.
Framedragger: damn. www itself is utf-8 proper, but the source of the log (znc) reports that long hyphen
as byte 0x96, for whatever reason. this then gets rendered
as �. i think i won't dig into znc's mysteries
as i'll be planning to move to a different log format anyway (everything to be stored in db for proper search, etc.)
