the upstack note was unclear, btw -- you can do ~2500 4096b gcd's for
the price of 1 4096b modexp.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, might get
terrible
trying
to debug a complex program
mircea_popescu: just as fucking long as it doesn't amount
to a hill of beans,
they're a-for it.
mircea_popescu: or anything,
they'll crochet you a car. or a bridge. would you like
to read
the bellybutton lint chronicles ?
mircea_popescu: meanwhile
the remnants, 0% fucking output,
too busy dicking around with
this fascinating lint & filth
they found in
their belly button.
they'll bake you a pie, would you like pie baked out of
their bellybutton lint maybe ?
mircea_popescu: that is what
they live for --
to spread
the empire of stupid. 100%, day in and day out, morning, night and all in between.
mircea_popescu: but whatever,
the worthless 80% of
the cuntspawn, pencildicks
that are only fit for office droning are doing it 100% of
the
time -- everyone on steam is "oh, MUS
THAVE DISCORD". why
the fuck ? cuz
tjat
mircea_popescu: come
to
think about it, 80% of
trilema is in one way and another, "please adlai, stop being fucking adlai in
the fucking head ; please kanzure, please
this
that and
the other".
mircea_popescu: to escape it one'd have
to realise WHAT precisely is so intrinsically wrong about being wrong ; but
those who do so realise needn't, and
those who need... well... lucifer is belabouring in hell under
the (significant, btw) burden of
the misapprehension of his own rightfullness.

the basic, and really only, rule of hermeneutics is :
that
then you've understood a
text when, far from its shortcomings appearing inexplicable errors,
they become
the actual pillars upon which
the damned
thing is constructed, and what originally seemed
to you sensible and structural
takes its
true place as accidental.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the concern's not so much
the monastery.
the problem is
that stupidity is self-reinforcing. i never met an idiot AWARE he's being moronic. on
the contrary -- as an amusing reversal of
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-19#1505418 the very specific quality of idiocy / qualification for being an idiot is
the ~being persuaded by idiocy~.
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2016-09-07 23:56 asciilifeform: shinohai: approx. 'do not
try
to slip in with your own set of vows into another's monastery'
mircea_popescu: it's just
the endless story of young dicklet mccoolstuff.

to egostroke, you're on enough
to answer a question
a111: Logged on 2019-06-05 09:52 mircea_popescu: and now, of course, has nothing
to say.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, i'm playibng "cunt wars" (browser game). mesmerized assistence, "omg, she's fucking a sword ?" ... "taking it IN
THE ASS ?!?!"
diana_coman: the funniest part sounds
there
the fact
that from
the other side
therefore it's like...living with pothead? lolz
mircea_popescu: which is particularly funny, because...
they used
to be.
mircea_popescu: n other news, living with slavegirls is pretty fun. you make a mess in some obscure corner of
the house. any mess you want.
then you wake up in
the morning, and it's... gone.
diana_coman: stjohn_piano_2: note
the dissonance in your approach - if you want reputation here, you need
to do stuff
that is useful here (there's a long list of such stuff
that needs doing, pick, start on it and document as you go/ask politely and intelligently for help when you need it); onth if you want "reputation" for landing a programming job irl, dropping links here won't help (I doubt
the Edgecase
thing will help either but
that's entirely up
to
mircea_popescu: and #2,
this isn't somewhere for you
to upload your autism. nobody gives a flying fuck about a marginally functional aspie and his worldview. start doing something useful so i don't have
to send you down
the chute ; stop picking at your bellybutton lint in any fucking case.
mircea_popescu: stjohn_piano_2, dude, fix your headcase. #1 if you're on enough
to egostroke, you're on enough

☟︎ mircea_popescu: aite, well, if you can live with
this, i have no problem paying your retrobill when
the shipment's made
a111: Logged on 2019-06-02 19:19 BingoBoingo: In order
to break
the present state of sin and approach
the proposed, more reasonable figure, going forward my inclination is
to have box rental priced
to recover 90% of
their book cost over
the first year's rents and in following years
track 50% per annum as a longevity discount.
BingoBoingo: I'd still be invoicing colocation before invoicing
the backrent.
The math I am inclined
to use
to calculate
the backrent would be is:
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, when
the boxes get here and
there's better price information I can invoice for however many months
the gap between now and delivery ended up being.
BingoBoingo: Many hours have been spent log digging and
the big
take away is
that while overspecing a contract
to cover every contingency is bad,
time doesn't ever stop what happens at renewal
time has
to be clear.
BingoBoingo: Right. With all of
that, I am inclined
to
take on good faith
that
the boxes will arrive in a not ridiculous
timeline and simply start charging a pure colo rate
to S.MG.
BingoBoingo: Right,
they gotta be bought,
tested, and entered into
the datacenter before
the final
tally comes in we can use for basing a price.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: If you can get
the boxes delivered
this summer (Pizarrostan winter), I am very inclined
to end
the awful log archaeology attempt at rental pricing
the
two boxes in question now.
There's a bunch of logmess and little clarity on what ought
to be charged for rental on
the boxes until
the swap boxes are priced.
BingoBoingo will fire off
the auctions
tonight after 0:00 UTC so
they get
top of
the log page visibility
BingoBoingo: Aite, I'll cancel it and reinvoice after
the auctions
mircea_popescu: you seriously expect me
to pay a year's worth of service with bitcoin evaluated 2/3 of market price ?

a111: Logged on 2019-02-14 01:00 asciilifeform strongly suspects
there's a motherlode of naggumism of finns,
that could be excavated if anyone were
to liberate
the 'dejanews' stash.

The brilliant Finnish-Canadian computer science professor / blogger Ilkka Kokkarinen has
taken down his popular blog, presumably
to keep his job after his campus newspaper noticed his heterodox views. His skepticism about
the intellectual consistency of lesbian-feminist
theory and practice would appear
to have been his biggest crime.
