mod6: Thought I'd stop in here first
tho.
mod6: Yeah, it's real nice here
too. I've actually gotta do a bit of yard work here in just a few mins.
mod6: heh, 1800 seconds
to get it right
mod6: hi, how goes it? are you in
the wot yet? might be a good place
to start.
mod6: Ah, very cool, just noticed
the /topic.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform on
the other hand
the braindamage list padded considerably. closing in on 3k by now
BingoBoingo: Apparently a DHS officer broke
today, writing up
the story
gribble: Error: We broke
The Google!
BingoBoingo: I don't call ;;ticker --market all because I'm interested in what it reports at
that moment in
that moment. Mostly do it in case if
that moment/day becomes interesting in
the months
that come.
BingoBoingo: I'll pm it for
the
time being. If we don't replace stats and
ticker
though it will be a pain not being able
to link
them in
the logs from qntra when a story calls for it.
a111: Logged on 2016-05-06 02:55 a111: Logged on 2016-05-06 02:06 mircea_popescu: ah, no Known Moduli: 2018943. vs 2mn earlier
today... so it ~is~ actually doing more like 20-30k/24 hrs ?
mod6: "i deleted my gpg key" wth,
this isn't super mario bros, bro.
mod6: had a good laugh about all of
this craig stuff lately.
danielpbarron: later
tell worked for me a coupla hours ago ;
turns out nubbins` intends
to return my
t-shirt payment
trinque: can probably wrap
the call
to bc in some shell script
that kills it after x seconds
trinque: yep, gonna stand up a disposable box for
this kind of
thing
trinque: I didn't see
that
the
thing can shell out
trinque: asciilifeform: can you
think of a reason why passing $calc back
to bc would be dangerous?
trinque: got
the $google one in
there
today, will do others during next week
alikim: I
thought it's gonna be hairy sousage like fingers with heavy golden ring
alikim: You have younger hands
that I'd expect
mircea_popescu: not particularly cultivated, i don't
think, looks sort-of alcatel / self-trained level, but
that's not really relevant.
mircea_popescu: programming has for a long
time been
talent starved ; likely
to continue indefinitely ; and you're certainly
talented.
mircea_popescu: alikim i have a life and 5 live-in slavegirls. lost
track of how many actual computers, but prolly close
to a megawatt any given day. yet if i said "o btw i lost my key" i
think everyone'd just stop breathing.
alikim: I have 4 computers and a life and I live with normal people, if you go on
them like "I lost my pgp key, I lost my life"
they suggest you visit a doctor.. or get laid and drunk in any order
mircea_popescu: alikim> ideal client would be a console app, it doesn't need 3d engine or visuals << word. jurov was sort-of working on
this, actually.
alikim: I need
to dig into how
to run a copy of geometry on
the client and
that's
too much for me, otherwise I could reuse network classes from
the package and other stuff
danielpbarron: although
that won't always be
true, but certainly for
the
time being all
that's needed is a console
alikim: no in what kind of shit
the client is
deedbot: danielpbarron rated alikim 1 << Euloran who likes
to hack
the client on winbl0wz
alikim: so scream much energy... I found
that key on another computer
mircea_popescu: the one
thing agar jars produce consistently is failure. human population no better
than random chunk of bacteria in
this regard.
mircea_popescu: so would bakersfield ; or
the whole state of pennsylvania
mircea_popescu: trinque> whether or not
this peasantry is undesirable, I
think having
the land occupied by humans has benefits. << depends, dude. argentina would be certainly better if current population got wiped.
phf: pretty safe bet, if a111 is missing, logs dead, but no worries
they are still being recored with my bouncer. i'm almost done with a better logger,
that reconnects. will
take it live over
the weekend
trinque: incidentally,
the WoT may be
the only social system capable of operating at
the scale of a planetary system.
trinque: how many humans does it
take
to own a solar system?
trinque: this idea
that we depopulate
the earth down
to a million individuals or something is not unlike
the nerd fantasy
that he'd really like his brain
to live in a jar in some robot
than in his body
trinque: how many humans on earth does it
take
to raise an army worth a shit? obviously
there is not a single answer
to
that question because
then
the other guy gets n+1 and it runs away until you're back at now.
trinque: whether or not
this peasantry is undesirable, I
think having
the land occupied by humans has benefits.
trinque: I don't particularly mind
the fact
that, having covered
the whole habitable earth, we killed off most of
the species
that used
to eat us.
trinque: rather, not area,
the desirable parts of
the whole earth
trinque: it means
to have your species as
the dominant predatory species in a given area
trinque: said
the sexual dynamics of everything ever
trinque: losing females is more costly
to population
than losing males
trinque: how many humans is enough
to own an earth?
mircea_popescu: are usure
tho,
that nothing in
this world reduces
to cunt physio-anatomy, everything else is special and distinct from cunt ?
mircea_popescu: certainly useless in any individual case, which is
the bane of statistics.
mircea_popescu: but age and poverty better predictors
than intelligence, for
that behaviour
mircea_popescu: nobody is going
to go "oh i am so impressed by
the unexpected arguments
this young chap has espoused on
the internet, i'm going
to now change my priors" anymore
than you're going
to go "o hey,
the irc has convinced me, i am now finally moving out of
the us". people've made
their life choices, and
that's
that, reality exists only
to either promote
their personal stupidity or otherwise be ignored as best it can.
mircea_popescu: and
this is exactly how it goes with "we just want
to ask you a few questions", which is why you don't
talk
to
the police, and everything else.
mircea_popescu: had you said something
THEY COULD HAVE USED,
they would have. as you said nothing
that makes
them any better, it never happened.
mircea_popescu: the
third party
that's interested is only interested in raping
them, and generally does not believe in employees.
mircea_popescu: "experts" in sticking
their finger up
their own ass and
tasting it afterwards.
