mats: mircea_popescu: bare metal
as in, a server intended for a single tenant, in contrast to 'cloud'
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: my style of remodeling is to install the range and hood and for baby doll to apply finish and molding
as nursing cooking laundry and meal planning afford time
mircea_popescu: ftr : to force google to use the fucking sane index
as opposed to "localized" and other bullshit, google.com/ncr
mircea_popescu: gaw veterans no doubt remember the same "1.oh we're taking over the world 2.no nevermind, tiny road bump ; 3. o wait we got a fix ; 4. crap the fix don't work but we'll pull together
as a assburger community ; 5. omfg the trolls!!!!"
mircea_popescu: looking forward to your first loperos article
as a real estate mog-owl.

☟︎ BingoBoingo: xcfw748:
As we are strangers pls keep conversation in channel
mircea_popescu: no mobility, deeply useless
as police vehicle. that's an army truck.
phf: i used to live in dodgy part of west philadelphia, and
as i would make my way to civilization you'd start encountering campus police on patrol, which i realized is exactly like medieval sentries. these chubby, mostly ineffective guys and girls doing their rounds at 2am. "2 PAST MIIIDNIGHT. ALL IS SAFE"
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel legal immunity.
as they say in civ, "our words are backed with nuclear weapons".
mircea_popescu: phf yeah. "sacate la mochilla", which ll = y they mispronounce
as sh because mountaineous gits, means "take off your backpack"
mircea_popescu: they don't understand words, in the sense that the meaning may form but the idea that there's a relation between action and meaning is
as foreign to them
as tentacles are to mammal reproductory system.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel computers do not cost 2x, except hte locals are 2x
as idiotic. the home shopping network demographic pays 20 bux for a plastic "earring organizer", but this is not because "plastic is expensive in the us".
mircea_popescu: women are by their nature stupid, there's no way to argue with the data. they'll do great on confucian-style government exams and nowhere else. especially nowhere it matters, such
as you know, "the carpet has just been pulled from under clinton and it's not coming back, you know who pulled it ?"
mircea_popescu: on the other hand, considerations of powers that wanna be, who really aren't, such
as cixi wanting it to be "quiter than x" or hilary clinton wanting it to "not destroy usg because the us understood
as usg was always great" will also not be considered.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, considerations of "abstract thinkers" who are really metaphysicians, such
as "will people be able to breathe ???" are not to be considered. if they are they live if they are not they die. nobody cares. whether leika comes back down or not is not a point of consideration in the soviet space programme.
mircea_popescu: that's it. it exists BECAUSE you could add a rail to a steam engine. it doesn't exist TO anything, for all anyone cares it could be to go to the moon or washington
as well
as better circle the wagons or hunt mountain goats.
mircea_popescu: this is neither here nor there, inconvenient
as it may be, it has no more bearing on uci than it has on hypocaloric diets.
mircea_popescu: i don't care what comes out of it. just
as long
as the process is correct, come what may will be fine.
mircea_popescu: you've not defined "involuntary participation" in such a way
as to put it in this soup and prove anything.
mircea_popescu: if it's right it's right and if it's wrong it's wrong. a statistical argument may not decide this. it'll be just
as wrong with 3 billion and just
as right with 0.
mircea_popescu: the failure of single men to matter is not to be construed
as saying anything about the abilities and capacities of hordes with herds in tow.
mircea_popescu: the fact that the ipad
as such doesn't exist and never worked
mircea_popescu: let's try a comparison, to clear this up. so : capacitive display,
as seen in ipad, is inherently cool. the capacitive display would be the "can't phyisically identify box running server".
mircea_popescu: you can't convict without body BECAUSE the "this hammer points at you, mr alf" is a sham ; and known
as such, and for a long time.
mircea_popescu: that's one level. and it informs the practical definition of uci, an implementation thereof,
as you quote it.
mircea_popescu: so, strategically, we (
as in, humans, people, we) are confronted with an adversary (ie, socialist state, usg, aliens, the devil incarnate, pure evil, etc) that predicates its relevancy upon targeted computing denial (see
http://trilema.com/2014/the-problem-of-enforcement/ ; and also
http://trilema.com/2015/mika-epstein-aka-ipstenu-is-a-thoroughly-clueless-poser/ re the ddos "we won't fix" and so on )
☟︎ ben_vulpes: trilema is
as swampy
as any russian battlefield
mircea_popescu: of course, if you read the java-esque nightmare that "solidity" is, reimplementing eth
as a small emu thing would benefit it immensely.
phf: asciilifeform: same way
as you do with wot folks. you state who you are, then prove it with a sig
ben_vulpes: noxious
as it is, linux containerization and 'docker' in particular might be a good foundation for a 'cheap, angry' prototype
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'm thinking a "independent nodes" sort of botnet,
as opposed to the zombie windowze thing usually run
jurov: there seems to be some snag with coinbr or mpex,
as every month recently, looking into it
mircea_popescu: or if you mean the other thing, eu, good, krama, alloy. same linguistic principle
as eutectic, (teksis = melting).
a111: Logged on 2016-07-01 16:31 asciilifeform: and if you ask mircea_popescu it is difficult to get so much
as a stapler in buenos aires
mircea_popescu: there's a humongo strategic difference between "no alternative exists" and "we don't like the alternative
as it contradicts our ideology". bitcoin is the ur-example of how to drive this through.
mircea_popescu: doing some research in the bowels of trilema i fell upon
http://trilema.com/2014/the-internet-race-gap/ "So to sum up : the average number of black people on the Internet is, on average, about 15% lower than the average numer of black people on the Internet
as far
as we can see - and it's probably even worse
as far
as we can't see."
mircea_popescu: phf you laugh at him all you want, but his mental process is sensible, or at least common. if you think about it, why exactly is it that most wives aren't being turned out
as we speak ?
mircea_popescu: and
as a general fucking principle : make girlfriends, yo, don't figure out how to all be buttbudies.
mircea_popescu: there is such a thing
as economic inefficiencies, yeah.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know there is such a thing in business
as "FOB"
mircea_popescu: of course,
as the legendary fool who's shown the moon and looks at the finger, people will then debate "what did it", in terms of, you know, if only we flavoured communism shit with THIS vanilla bean!
a111: Logged on 2016-06-30 23:59 phf: asciilifeform: but to get back to my point, the fact that local-time
as implemented by kommmuniti is shit doesn't have to affect ~me~. i know what the right way (or a better one) of doing things is, but if naggum didn't write his paper, i wouldn't. i thought that's kind of the WoT approach
mircea_popescu: but yes, you're entirely correct in that there's no such thing
as "scientific knowledge", in the sense of a sort of secret football team in the sky that plays and wins for the average derp, once each day and twice on sunday.
phf: asciilifeform: but to get back to my point, the fact that local-time
as implemented by kommmuniti is shit doesn't have to affect ~me~. i know what the right way (or a better one) of doing things is, but if naggum didn't write his paper, i wouldn't. i thought that's kind of the WoT approach
☟︎ phf: i got exposed to library
as part of my attempt to revive cl-ledger, that actually doesn't need time component at all.
as an accounting tool it almost entirely deals with dates (except in its timetracking functionality)
adlai has treated it
as a black box of Just Fucking Works... what went wrong for you?
phf:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-30#1493744 << i think of these projects in the same terms i think of "knowledge" in general. same way
as there's no abstract scientific knowledge that's somehow "accessible" to "society", there isn't universal good value to naggum's emacs, but there would've been value in naggum's ~to me~
as a kind of abstract node in what i'm hoping is a graph of sane people. same way
as "scientific knowledge" is only a kind of comm
☝︎ mircea_popescu: fact is, when
as much
as a vague hint of the flavour of the possibility of a stable base is presented, people go nuts working hands to bone to build it up
phf: like i'm not convinced that cyrillic, greek etc. should be implemented on cl's character level,
as opposed to something like ccl's concept of Rune
phf: i'm pretty sure that's the one with genera heritage, so
as close to the mothership
gabriel_laddel: gentoo with CLIM
as the default graphics library, conkeror (emacs style browser) and a bunch of math goodies more or less
phf: oh she played in death in venice, and weirdly enough in Dune (
as the reverend mother)
a111: Logged on 2016-06-30 16:12 mircea_popescu: "did you
as much
as re-read this shit ?" "ain't nobody got time for that ??"
ben_vulpes: gf walking with wot material is just
as catastrophic
as usg walking with wot material. 'walked' being only detail of note.
mircea_popescu: "did you
as much
as re-read this shit ?" "ain't nobody got time for that ??"

As progressively dumber programmers build progressively more complex systems we will see more of this kind of attempt to paper over coding mistakes with lawyers, sanctions, policies, and laws. Hollywood and the RIAA are usually the most successful at getting the government to do their bidding. Thus I predict that one day Disney will have a Web site where you can buy access to any of their movies. Because
mircea_popescu: nce of the regulation they emitted
as to how women may be used and may not be used and so on and so forth. Specifically excluded from all this - the woman in question. Particularly "criminal" at the time - using a woman in the manner she herself wishes to be used.
mircea_popescu: the book sez : "A parallel with human sexuality is not unwarranted here. At a past time when the ownership of female humans was the principal method to control capital formation and the political process, the same sort of dead hand fictions proposed that they in fact control the usage of women, that anyone owning a woman does so only
as a sublicense from their sovereign ownership of all women, and may proceed only in furthera
trinque:
as is generally *enforcing* moral behavior
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, there's a difference between secrecy
AS A STATE and code sharing
AS A PROCESS.
mircea_popescu: so in general, i expect the notion of "code secrecy" to be
as nonsensical today
as when stallman was a wee tyke getting started on other people's emacs.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i supppse maybe
as a black box item, i dunno.
mircea_popescu: (yes, we use constructive intent all the time, such
as for instance in discussions of usg - the sort of thing where they end up responsible both ways.)
mircea_popescu: sure, i run coherence checks on all data, such
as recent trilema article is testament.
