mircea_popescu has not yet encountered chinese person he didn'
t feel he could snap in half and eat in one sitting.
mircea_popescu: anyway. the girls wanna marry, the boys dun wanna live with the inlaws, the old folks don'
t want to move to the old folks' home at 44 (you should see a) how many of those they have here, must be over 5k distinct old folks homes and b) how many of these stupid cunts are saddled with 2-3 kids aged 20something and looking for a new mate. bitch, seriousy ? go suck your babby momma's cock, you're off the market) and the girls got
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i should care what people i don'
t know wish to preserve ? as it happens, i don'
t.
mircea_popescu: no, just, idiot born in the us, doesn'
t comprehend how utterly irrelevant it is. because "THE COUNTRY"
mircea_popescu: "so how come it's there ?" "you planted it" no we didn'
t" "mkay"
mircea_popescu: if they did or if they didn'
t, the "i had nothing to do with it" defense is ironclad as far as that goes.
BingoBoingo: AH: "Prosecutors Forget To Parallel Construct Away That Harold
T. Martin's Mistake Was Trusting Cloud Storage Providers In Bail Denial Affidavit" -- New TItle
mircea_popescu: they evidently don'
t know what's in [at least some] of them. however they do know who he is. metadata.
trinque: same mistake every single time. they have imperial aspirations, yet they apparently have no idea how to do this? you don'
t destroy the whole power structure in a place; you *take* it
mircea_popescu: i don'
t see he has any way to extricate himself from sending ~half the dem party machine to jail
mircea_popescu is pretty happy at all this "oh noes, trump won'
t promise to admit defeat if he loses", because all signals point to a complete rehash of the brexit thing, whereby clinton is credited with ~50% of popular vote and 55% of electoral colege, but realises 35% of popular vote and 30% of electoral college.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, jamelle bouie (slate "chief political correspondent", if you didn'
t give a shit before) along with everyone else is damned pissed at trump. "The act of conceding, in other words, is vital to the functioning of democracy. It confers legitimacy on the winner of an election, giving him or her a chance to govern. To refuse to concede, to deny that legitimacy, is to undermine our democratic foundations."
trinque: doesn'
t have to be centralized.
mircea_popescu: no, the problem is that the only way to find out "couldn'
t" is by their crashing it, and the whole construction has a low crash tolerance.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes, sure, it was a cancer on top of an avorton. but this doesn'
t change the fact that even if you cleaned up the tumor, you'd have an aborted fetus.
mircea_popescu: i did not like ripple, as i don'
t like this, because it requires a level of financial acumen that is not available in the general population
mircea_popescu: yeah, it wouldn'
t be kept in pants THAT well is the problem. your argument is solid in principle, but there's a crack in it.
trinque: asciilifeform: ftr the argument wasn'
t about whether kept in pants; it was that if kept in pants, might as well not exist
mircea_popescu: subjective value, as judged by you ? it doesn'
t. objective value, as in, the ship of state is being sailed by idiots into the shoals ? 100%.
mircea_popescu: it's scarce like time is scarce - you can'
t make more, just squander what you got.
mircea_popescu: unless they "tattoo" so to speak, ie, burn perfectly fine fat, they can'
t work.
mircea_popescu: which ties right into the above discussion of altcoin heads (they can'
t meaningfully criticize means they can'
t think) and more generally in the difference between republican forum and imperial forum (eg, reddit). the latter exists specifically so no work is done.
mircea_popescu: these aren'
t usually the same people as come up with anything worth reading.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-20#1557353 << well, it's sad, but i can'
t say i'm disappointed, because i had no expectation otherwise. the psychology of the alt-coin purveyor is very much as exemplified by that covertress chick : ambitious, mommy told her she's special which she believes, and "problems" "can always be overcome". preferably - by someone else. you know, what's washington gonna do about it.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: also at a time and place where listening to depeche mode wasn'
t merely happenstance but more cultural identification and political statement than a trump tshirt
thestringpuller: well isn'
t solving a block the same as finding a time delay crypto puzzle?
thestringpuller: you can'
t prove the trap door function doesn'
t exist cause you can'
t prove you don'
t know the keys to the puzzle
mircea_popescu: anyway. the main problem with the algo described being that if i want to multiply 2^2^7-1 with 2^2^11-1 i'm stuck requesting 340282366920938463463374607431768211455 discrete additions, which isn'
t worth doing in any possible universe.
mircea_popescu: this is a fundamental strategical choice, and it is not getting reviewed. which is why there isn'
t a geographical republic.
mircea_popescu: trinque he has a serious issue with things that i don'
t yet fully grok, but i can not presently distinguish from this irrational meltdown and the irrational meltdown on the gossipd spec.
trinque: if not I don'
t see how alf says every single comm between all peers gets intercepted readably
mircea_popescu: from the fact that A asks B to p-add P1 and P1 you can not distinguish whether P1 is being multiplied or added. that you can'
t distinguish between these two means you have 0 bits, not > 0 bits.
mircea_popescu: the scheme presented isn'
t in any sense what you describe.
mircea_popescu: don'
t CALL THINGS THINGS. show. don'
t tell. this isn'
t bad fanfic hour.
mircea_popescu: the department of "here's words, they don'
t mean anything"
mircea_popescu: there is absolutely nothing but this to glue together eg
t aquinas and jonas the prophet
Framedragger: which is something i'd like to avoid; but if i can'
t - then i guess it's still the best thing available
thestringpuller: I mean you don'
t have to use opengl for graphics just use openal's coordinate system on top of SDL
Framedragger: the -soft fork of openal seems very decent enough. i was hoping for something high/lazy-level for graphics so i don'
t have to deal too much with it (it'd be just 2d shapes anyway, no textures etc, super simplistic), and lower-level for audio so i can mess around with it. openal-soft as of now best contender
Framedragger: in unrelated news/queries, game audio has deteriorated in the last 10 years. used to be proper 3d positional audio. am trying to build a shitty 2d top-down thingie with proper HRTF etc for audio, don'
t suppose anyone has any recommendations? if worx on linux, enough in principle. linux + osx + windows = ideal
Framedragger: asciilifeform: heh. i think i recall. pity i didn'
t properly *read* about it. guess time to corebios the fuck out of that laptop anyway
trinque: presence of this backlight makes you think either of IBM or Lenovo wouldn'
t fuck you for their government masters?
Framedragger: asciilifeform: you don'
t mean anything in cpu microcode but rather in bios? plox to enlighten uneducated naive mind
Framedragger: tbh i wouldn'
t expect anything truly shady out of x220. i just didn'
t try any switches yet
Framedragger: asciilifeform: i don'
t know how it works internally in x220. if i wanted to make sure to not have wifi, i'd remove / physically disconnect the controller, of course..
scriba: Logged on 2016-10-19: [23:36:04] <gabriel_laddel> Framedragger: have you managed to turn off the wifi on your x220 such that it won'
t re-enable when you toggle the hardware switch again?
a111: Logged on 2016-10-20 10:17 Framedragger:
http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20161019/#291 << tbh i didn'
t check. does it re-enable after hw switch is toggled? what distro/OS do you run? i could check how it is on my end on that machine (prolly tomorrow, not today)
scriba: Logged on 2016-10-19: [23:36:04] <gabriel_laddel> Framedragger: have you managed to turn off the wifi on your x220 such that it won'
t re-enable when you toggle the hardware switch again?
BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: It's because they are jealous they don'
t have an Agri-CULTURE to celebrate
BingoBoingo: <gabriel_laddel> Framedragger: have you managed to turn off the wifi on your x220 such that it won'
t re-enable when you toggle the hardware switch again? << cut the antenna wires with a pair of Kleins or Dykes?
gabriel_laddel: Framedragger: have you managed to turn off the wifi on your x220 such that it won'
t re-enable when you toggle the hardware switch again?
phf: mircea_popescu: i'm not telling him what to do either; i sometimes rant alongside asciilifeform, but i don'
t actually think gabriel_laddel should be doing something differently.
phf: gabriel_laddel: franz have been living in frontline foxholes since before you knew what a computer was, i don'
t think masamune is there yet to judge their methods
gabriel_laddel: phf: It isn'
t, though it has implemented every form McCLIM is missing.
gabriel_laddel: phf getting some linux boxen from which to host the #sane-clim / #masamune irc channel + logs either this friday or the next. Any chance you'll be releasing the logger at some point so that I don'
t have to write my own?
phf: which goes back to mp's very wise "don'
t mess with counts"
trinque: don'
t ask me; I give shotgun shells to unwanted visitors like any gentleman.
mircea_popescu: nowadays the good state-science being, of course, "taking it in the ass and eating a lot of soy won'
t castrate you".
mircea_popescu: somehow i'm supposed to take umbrage to brothel-living tween who can'
t do basic math ; but i'm supposed to see no problem whatsoever with school-going tween who can'
t basic math. because reasons.
mircea_popescu: but this aside : HAVING the thing there will be very useful for some important areas of republican research. such as the most evident one - malleable computation. (ie, when you somehow structure your code so that others can help but can'
t discern what they're helping. this may or may not involve a well chosen cipher system).
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> btw BingoBoingo i submit something like "troubled hrc fundraisers despair of ever receiving support from bitcoin, comically look to ven in desperation" or such for the next roundup (sauce
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-18#1556416 ) << AHA, it's a firm mebbe for next one. Didn'
t fit flavor of recent electoral one.
☝︎ shinohai: Yeah, hence I don'
t want to screw up a good thing lol by submitting trash all the time
shinohai: Can'
t use BTC because evil Trump uses it, we must "blockchain" instead.
Framedragger: i suspect it wouldn'
t be optimal in my case. i want ticket tags and stuff. dependency graph is of course nice.
Framedragger: adlai: i've looked at it and i like it. i haven'
t used it!
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes you don'
t understand how websecuritits work.
mircea_popescu: and i don'
t need a wire. i'm just using the wire to loosen headcunts.
mircea_popescu: "oh you can'
t read there, the selector is not on that cell!"
mircea_popescu: screen shows what's in ram. no more, no less. at the fps here considered, these artefacts aren'
t more significant than the speaker hum due to being powered off ac not dc
trinque: and the former maps nicely to being a CLIM backend, i.e. a framebuffer port of the thing wouldn'
t be that hard
