adlai: thestringpuller: main problem
these days is
too much bitcoin,
they've printed 15 million already and show no signs of stopping
thestringpuller: severe lack of education,
these days. perhaps not enough beating. or enough starving for dropouts.
mircea_popescu: (no, no, intelligence is not a
THING. it is a behaviour. like dancing.)
mircea_popescu: intelligence is an adaptive behaviour ; which is why anyone with a clue would rather spend
the
time chatting up a random whore or street urchin
than some jewish princess or "young exec".
☟︎ mircea_popescu: well... computers of
the future will be better, right ?
thestringpuller: sometimes I wonder if we went down another path where
the educational
toys actually make
the next generation more stupid. i always
thought it interesting
that "children of
the future will be smarter"
thestringpuller: you ever read mimsy and
the borogoves? short sci-fi story by Lewis Padgett (a pseudonym for CL Moore and some other person
that wrote as a duo)
☟︎ mircea_popescu: kinda how decay goes : stuff is
the butt of jokes and "how stupid can
these stupid people be",
then next decade - sop.
thestringpuller: for instance
the coffee
table book about coffee
tables
that can
turn into a coffee
table
thestringpuller: admittedly Kramer is pretty much a modern VC wet dream. some of
the stuff he sells
that's "successful" is just...
thestringpuller: "Meanwhile, Kramer buys a police scanner and decides
to help at
the New York City Fire Department. When
they receive a call about
the fire at Leapin' Larry's, Kramer accidentally knocks out
the fire engine driver, forcing him
to
take
the wheel, realizing his lifelong dream. However, he is unable
to steer correctly and crashes
the fire engine, allowing
the fire
to spread further."
mircea_popescu: this entire "look what prb does" is so much cosmo kramer from kramerica industries fixing
the fire dept. what was
that episode
thestringpuller: perhaps
the
toys should change. much more useful
to work on
toys
that signal real life
than say plastic
thing on wheels.
mircea_popescu: i mean yes, it's
true
that most of
the firemen are kids
that played with fire
trucks. it is however quite pointedly not
true
that most of
the equipment down at
the fire station is
toy fire
trucks brought in by conscientious neighbourhood kids.
mircea_popescu: in roadtrip
they go "we gotta
take
the weirdo - he has a car".
mircea_popescu: in fact,
the difference between
THAT approach and what actually happens is exactly
the difference between infantile and adult life.
mircea_popescu: nobody goes "i'm going
to hire joe, he's kinda meh but he has a kickass workstation!".
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller yes, but
they don't come with
their own home fucking computers.
mircea_popescu: yes, various derps on poorly connected boxes still play with it.
this is about as relevant
to
the discussion as considering what machines aspiring webcomic designers use when discussing pixar or something.
mircea_popescu: massiro it's an interesting
theory, apart from
the fact
that nobody uses core in production, or has for many years now.
mircea_popescu: which, ungenerously enough, seems just a step away from
the breakdown specific
to shitholes like argentina, where people altogether don't even comprehend words are in any sense meaningful, above and beyond
the chirping captive populations of chickens do
to reassure each other.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ow english speaker even realises
there's a disconnect between what
the words mean and what his actions do.
assbot: Logged on 16-03-2016 04:25:15; phf: it's very odd because guy completely discredits american position in
the first few chapters, yet for
the rest of
the books it's noble american victories vs surprisingly successful vc
tactics
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-03-2016#1433659 << i dunno why you
think
this odd. as far as my experience goes, 100% of english language literature (long before
the days orwell quit and his naive, square jawed colonial subjects
took over
the pretense of empire) is exactly
this "here are our assumptions, which clearly paint us as utterly and hopelessly stupid, let's lampshade it and carry on". i don't
think by n
☝︎ assbot: Logged on 16-03-2016 04:16:51; phf: i was about 50% into
the logs
that i missed, when i switched back
to reading "the
tunnels of cu chi" (mega book), so not sure if
the gentoo recipe was posted
assbot: Logged on 16-03-2016 04:15:31; phf: asciilifeform: hey, was
there anything else posted re gentoo de-poetering besides
the initial chicken?
massiro: To adlai's asking, I'm an occasional bettor at bbet. Sorry
to omit introducing about myself.
massiro: Secondly, Core-0.12 abolished mining 0-fee
txes by default.
massiro: First of all, Core-0.12 stops 0-fee
tx relaying during spam attacks.
massiro: And
the spam attack revealed
the problem.
massiro: I
think it has something
to do with
the release of Core-0.12 (23rd February 2016).
massiro: I'm sad
to hear
the Jeb Bush payout accident...
assbot: Logged on 05-01-2016 05:55:53; massiro:
The above site says
the fee is 0.001 BTC so I
think it is more
than enough. Is
this related
to low/high S value problem?
massiro: I wanted
to share info about
the payout problem with Jeb-Bush-Nomination.
adlai: what's
the custom for voicing freenode webchat nobodies? (at least replying with "who may you be" gets
them
to shut up.)
assbot: Logged on 15-03-2016 23:10:27; mircea_popescu: o i forgot
the jews, did i.
THREE KINDS.
adlai fantasizes
that his 'jewish wit' was sharp enough
to bridge
the silicon sarchasm
adlai: ;;later
tell
trinque deedbot- seems
to have choked again
phf: it's very odd because guy completely discredits american position in

the rest of
the books it's noble american victories vs surprisingly successful vc
tactics
☟︎ phf: it has a very pro-american/anti-communist bias (and
there's a very surprising, complete lack of any SU mentions), but full of fascinating stories of vc
tunnel based warfare

to graduate from a pogo
to an "edgerouter lite" sometime in
the next few months.

that rant only
things needing pressing are asciilifeform_shiva_part_1_of_2, asciilifeform_shiva_part_2_of_2 and asciilifeform_shiva_fix_flag_bug

things", pressing
tinyscheme genesis is just not
the right way
to get shiva
assbot: Logged on 16-03-2016 02:18:59; adlai: rules were made
to be broken, buttons elbowed, and backs broken later.
assbot: Logged on 21-02-2016 00:38:10; asciilifeform: please
throw out
the old crud.

trinque iirc
the bitcoin-derived one had
two parts named 1 and 2 which you both need
adlai: my bad,
the first has percolated
through... maybe it's just all
the
tube-clogging
adlai: mircea_popescu: i found it and submitted a second comment, but both seem
to have caught in
the lo-pass
phf: trinque: as per

this leak in your head into everything?
trinque: "EVERYONE STOP
TRYING
TO DO
THINGS!"
trinque: "WHY MUST I LIFT ALL
THIS MYSELF?!?!11!"
trinque: asciilifeform: you may be
the most impossible man I've ever encountered.
adlai wonders about his own predicament; people keep
telling him
to blog about it, but, as
the latin
teacher said when asked why he gave up correcting people's mispronounciation of his name: "I hate people"
adlai: rules were made
to be broken, buttons elbowed, and backs broken later.
☟︎ trinque: nope,
this seems
to have
to do with press order;
the dynload.h in question in
the second dpaste is present in
the
tinyscheme genesis
trinque: ah in place of
tinyscheme genesis I would wager
mircea_popescu: trinque iirc

☟︎ trinque: I can press up
to asciilifeform_tx-orphanage_amputation.vpatch
trinque has discovered
that it is not - apparently -
throwing
them in
the patches dir, seals in seals, and pulling
the
trigger
trinque: asciilifeform: what's
the proper way
to apply
the shiva vpatches with v?

ben_vulpes: make life easy on
the miners? why bother.
assbot: Logged on 10-03-2016 10:43:46; mircea_popescu: in any case we should prolly have a strategy discussion here. paging mod6 asciilifeform jurov
trinque phf an'
the other interested parties.
mircea_popescu: the credits certainly look like a 70s sexploitation
thing ; music idem.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the first
ten-fifteen minutes are not bad, for
the sheer deluge of omnisexual crazy.
mircea_popescu: i have nfi who
told
the dumbass
that sort of behaviour is independent or whatever
the fuck she
thinks it is.
mircea_popescu just watched
the velocity of gary, holy shit she has no problems regular whippings wouldn't have fixed long ago.
