asciilifeform: prolly good candidate for a fyootoor pill
asciilifeform: in mostly unrelated lulz, there are apparently noads who shove a couple 100 MB (!) of bastard blox into a connected trb, prior to the latter throwing the ban switch ( because of the idjit shitoshi networking routine, actual disconnect happens a good 10-20sec after ban )☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: the fundamental lul is that it is impossible to explain to such patient exactly why money printer spilled forth tonnes of luscious green for his predecessor but doesn't want to for him
asciilifeform: ( there was a related mircea_popescu piece re paulgraham et al, in re how they tried to cargocult-revive orig 'dotcom' bacchanalia )
asciilifeform: 'spreading worked, but where is the eating!, reddit got to eat! we read it , on reddit'
asciilifeform: with the opposite charge, but aha same basic particle
asciilifeform: 'what do you mean i was talking to /dev/null, where is my purpose nao!'
asciilifeform: but there's, yes, 9000 laments like this
asciilifeform: the 'right', 'nazi', 'weev', etc , types , not even reached level where can discuss 'community', they're still seated firmly in the comfortable usg.provocateur 'right bottle of pepsi' theatre
asciilifeform: which in particular? there's '9000' ~indistinguishable ones
asciilifeform: 'charlie was a chemist, but charlie is no moar, for what he thought was h2o, was h2so4'(tm)(r)
asciilifeform: dunno if that, or if simple failure of imagination, 'hmm, what text will folx read on a b&w lcd ? iknow, pediwikia'
asciilifeform: ( e.g. hieroglyph learners, could push 'show me random hieroglyph', etc )
asciilifeform: designer of 'reader' was pretty dumb in 1 way -- if he had made it simple to substitute in new text, thing could be best-seller to this day, imho
asciilifeform: at one time , pre-tmsr, i thought of reprogramming the thing to display naggum. but before ever got around to any such thing, finished reading all of him, turned out he was pretty small
asciilifeform: exactly : l0gz perhaps not best use case, because plentiful linkage to net
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'd settle for the dirigible-era encyclopaedia, if it comes to it
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ahahaaha, see, but runs on pair of alkalines for ~decade. unlike the 'ordinary' lcd pocket boxen sold in pnoje shops etc
asciilifeform: ( picture if the thing had shipped with an ~actual~ encyclopaedia ! )
asciilifeform: theoretically repurposable into sumthing useful..
asciilifeform: lol i still have that thing. lulzily, they were designed and built by a sort of lone wolf craftsman, thing actually runs a forth interpreter.
asciilifeform: relatedly, last i saw ameristan has finally squandered the last of its 1 and only mineral monopoly (helium)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: good chunk of planet3 lacks easy iron. hence aztec etc. dead end people.
asciilifeform: actual artist beats shit out of fungus, noose at 11..
asciilifeform: ( asciilifeform's main hesitation re subj is how to avoid losing e.g. gprof, on box where 0 dynamics. but this is prolly solvable, somehow )
asciilifeform: ... and prolly a necessary pre-req to stripping support for dynamic linkage entirely
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-23#1853132 << i dun expect there'll be much disagreement, but imho hardcoded paths (to anyffing) Must Die ( naturally wont help folx building on heathen gcc, but speaking of our cemented one )☝︎
asciilifeform: would also be interesting to log chain splittage in real time, but this is luxury.
asciilifeform: ... and give clue re the ~troo~ size of the btc net
asciilifeform: i suspect the experiment would quickly reveal where actual blox come from, and from where -- all rubbish, 24/7/365
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-23#1853137 << this reminds me of an item i had on chalkboard but never had a chance to actually bake -- a running log of where/when (ip, remote ver, time) noad got each incoming candidate block .☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: ( and the q is, who counts as addict. and does def then include e.g. thyroid patient, and chix on bc pillz )
asciilifeform: rright, iirc the shrinks seem to distinguish 'bio' addict from 'mental' one
asciilifeform: iirc gabriel_laddel claimed to have gone yrs without fix, but still pined for it
asciilifeform: just how numerous are 'addict WITH fix' anyway
asciilifeform: ( or -- is 'junkie' ~definitionally~ addict who lacks his fix )
asciilifeform: ( think herman goering, rather than gabriel_laddel )
asciilifeform: out of curiosity, is it also easy to distinguish junkie when the latter has its fix ?
asciilifeform: meant, result is sorta like adding jet to toyota. start with tin can that went slowly but maybe had working steering, end with rocket that goes to nearest wall.
asciilifeform: 100% similar ~to each other~, no shit, same starting qty, same sum
