a batch of cr50s around that you might be willing to ship?
a111: Logged on 2018-06-15 15:00 asciilifeform: this is the approach where
a die shot, even under optical microscope, would be of some conceivable use ( make slightly less blunt/blind target )
a111: Logged on 2018-06-15 14:52 asciilifeform: once i get another coupla cr50 boards , will try above method with
a small twist ( spoiler : chinese pulse welder as the current source! new!111 original!11 )
mircea_popescu: motherfucker on
a stick, what is wrongggggg with these idiots.
mircea_popescu: this isn't some kind of encounter like between german socialism, american socialism and russian socialism, who oh who will win in the end ? (because we know as
a matter of necessity that two will ally against one, crush it, then once that's done
a) import everything and b) go at each other).
mod6: yeah, same. need
a coffee.
mircea_popescu: what fucking "want". managing to sit on
a chair correctly is accomplishment enough.
mircea_popescu: this "i am
a bum and i sit under bridge" thing is not
a thing.
mircea_popescu: and if one ~doesn't~ have the equivalent, because one is
a nomad, one fucking finds things on his own. i get it, not everyone can own
a castle, to wait for carts of grain to come in for the market. fine. BUT ONE STILL EATS.
mircea_popescu: and so no, there's no fucking excuse. if one has an equivalent of trilema, that claim may only be permitted to stand IF IT IS FUNCTIONALLY EQUIVALENT. if it does the same thing. i think nothing of, picking randomly, orlovs' blog, or yarvin's blog, or you name the idiot, anil dash, fucktard mcdumbsticks, whatever, BECAUSE their blogs don't fucking work. and "i have
a lot of '''traffic'''" isn't
a working, and "i get paid to ad
mircea_popescu: it's very true that i'd have never given
a shit had nobody said something to me about it on my blog ; but it's just as true that ~the reason~ i took that stance was specifically that someone ~was going to~ say something to me on my blog, about that as about anything else worth the note, because that's what i built it as for fucks' sake.
mircea_popescu: these went nowhere because
a) not directly related to something i was working in at the time and b) not nearly as well respected source in my eyes -- though perhaps the order's reversed. in any case, it was very much "guy i know raised
a sorta-objection to the completeness of my research which had to be remedied", and if one thinks the bias in such
a context is ever anything but "get rid of it" that one's very naive indeed.
a111: Logged on 2018-06-14 18:34 mircea_popescu: it took me all of half week to find the bitcoin-otc in 2011, and this considering
a) i hadn't been on irc in
a decade ; b) i thought computers are idiotic and computer dweebs idiotic-er still for simply being involved with them ; c) was looking for sufficient cause to dismiss this bitcoin bullshit.
BingoBoingo: In
a civilizations that don't have taboos against ambition, they'd be cheering to win
BingoBoingo: First time they won was maybe
a kilometer away from here though
mircea_popescu: it'll be
a wonder if they score one goal. but they're excited!!!
mircea_popescu: whore lines are "hey, do you want me to tell you
a joke ? if it's not fukky you can fun me for free" not fucking hilary clintonisms & naggingisms
a la "let me tell you some shoulds"
a111: Logged on 2016-07-06 19:30 asciilifeform: last i recall, they fitted 'general electric' fuel rods to the 1 remaining sov reactor, it is
a pop waiting to happen
mircea_popescu: for some reason that was
a most delicious unhappening & rehapenning target.
mircea_popescu: what loose what glue trap ? you're either looking or you're not looking ; and if you're not looking
a) age dun improve anything and b) god himself riding on
a pogo stick can'd help you.
mircea_popescu: when we originally met, chet was more than twice my age. she got
a divorce and moved to romania of all places. so no, it's not impossible. but then again, the chain of possibility is an ~unbroken~ thing, much like the chain of blocks or the chain of trust.
mircea_popescu: point is, when he was 2yo he didn't use his brain in the manner of people ; but in the manner of wolves. that window of brain plasticity meanwhile closed, and if he'll never be
a very good wolf, he's certainly not getting to enroll to people university.
lobbes: Lucky for me, my Ti branches were easy to prune: I simply had to grow
a shit-ton of Ts

☟︎ mircea_popescu: "never heard of allah" is
a bit of
a joke. got wikipedia, amirite.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, large galaxy ; dood was repeatedly linked from here etc. gimme
a break, he knows.
mircea_popescu: that's what it is : he wants, and thereby i know he was raped as
a child.
mircea_popescu: the only correct approach is "i couldn't give less of
a shit about all of it and what's this do ?!"
mircea_popescu: but as it is, the moment the idiocy he is protecting goes away, so goes away his perceived need for whatever "he got right" and there you sit, wondering, "hey, i taught you this
a year ago, where did it go ?!?!"
mircea_popescu: and so this is the deep root of what i mean when i say "he didn't get anything right" : the ~only reason~ he included $republican-item in his soup is to support some other batshit insanity ; it's not
a root but
a frill for him -- as proven by the fact that were it root, it'd have rid him of the batshit he aims to hang on it.
mircea_popescu: these processes both directly mimic the evolution of software in empire and republic ; and directly illustrate the problem : aging is
a net negative for they outside the republic. it ~decreases~ their value, monotonically, irrespective of any other considerations.
mircea_popescu: entirely conceivable. who's to know the alternative futures. but the point stands -- the only thing i see when i see one of these old nothings is, "here's
a hole you can pour sweat into forever"
mircea_popescu: to put it another way : how about you prove to me that trinque didn't SAVE US
a large pile of value by getting us rid of "reverse engineer" ?
mircea_popescu: what the fuck am i to do with
a "us academic", ie,
a 12 yo captive in
a 60yo's body ?
trinque: Mocky: the item from my original post builds again. I've yet to finish gathering everything required by the base system into
a genesis vpatch, but that's next in the process. among them, I need to bring in ave1's gcc.
a111: Logged on 2018-06-07 02:21 trinque: Mocky: I'll have something for you to try out in
a few days, if you like.
mod6: mircea_popescu: haha, yeah, i've been using it for quite
a long time.
mircea_popescu: mod6, totally got
a green on black fetish, it's clear by now
mod6: Sounds like you need
a new phone BingoBoingo
unassednick: no but i read
a group of chinese people who know where the real internet is
mircea_popescu: also, register
a key already, i'll rate you, then you can self voice.
mircea_popescu: |\n, could you get
a nick that's not an absolute pain in the ass to type ?
mod6: if so, throw me
a sample and maybe I can make one of those too.
mod6: hey lobbes, does tardstalk still let you put
a banner or skinny banner in your footer part or whatever (I feel like that used to be
a thing?)
mircea_popescu: lol mod6 finds
a new life as
a gfx designer for the web
mod6: werd. it's
a pretty small space, but I'll see what I can do. i'll hollar when i'm done, Sir.
lobbes: I like how yours communicate all the selling points in
a small space
mod6: lol, wasn't much of
a problem when I only had
a few boxen :D
mod6: oh yeah, that's not the thing. I need to maybe tweek the setup here when I get
a few minutes.
mod6: i've got like
a bunch of computroboxes,
a bunch of screens and like four keyboards.
mod6: i better get
a coffee
mircea_popescu: i can't imagine why anyone thinks this belongs in
a website. it's evidently
a tarball.
mircea_popescu: item only ever existed as
a child porn / assorted bizarro trading ring.
mod6: normally i don't do the egg+cheese. but that was srsly
a win.
mircea_popescu:
a good cocktail is that mix which is better than the sum of the parts.
mircea_popescu: and in today's harem cocktails : in
a cocktail glass (the inverted cone on
a stem) put shaved ice, cover with cinzano rosso, splash of cointreau.
BingoBoingo: I suppose Qntra can put up
a banner as well
mod6: the thing has
a home/landing page now devoid of all statements/blog info, so this is good.
mircea_popescu: if this ever takes off you can do two things :
a) have
a banner rotator and b) have monthly or biannual or w/e spot auctions.
dw: i pointed Disavowed here, found your site via lobsters about
a week ago :)
mircea_popescu: "i dun care how tall" is
a recipe for disaster down the road.
mod6: i gotta creat
a new one, gimp is limited, or im
a bit limited in is usage. i'll make 320 x 132 if that's suitable.
mod6: You want me to make one that size, I think I can make
a special one. Lemme tinker on it here.
