asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: again, not 'arbitrary' for purpose of subj , put a bullet ( or dose of gamma, or whatnot ) through bacterial culture, and it closes the hole in a few hrs, and who could say there ever was a hole. but try same hole through mouse, or man.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: tricky, conflates 'individual needs' with 'species needs'
trinque: ben_vulpes: ah nothing will stand up through the next big san andreas fault slip
a111: Logged on 2017-03-20 03:47 mircea_popescu: imagine if in a few years the actual fucking chunks of metal are the point of worship. "oh man, that's tech! who can make straight angles anymore!"
trinque: thorium in the walls is right up there with mircea_popescu's http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-20#1629337 ☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: cinderblock (usa) is a champ. followed by 'fancy' tiles (granite, various)
asciilifeform: the radium girl was exactly mircea_popescu's 'twerker': 'value extracted from marginal'
asciilifeform: i am still thinking about the 'radium girls' mircea_popescu . for some reason most 'left'-flavoured historians don't mention the fact that they were paid 2-3x the market rate for 'generic unskilled gurl'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i thought the reason was petro->chickenfeed conversion and economics of scale.
trinque: ben_vulpes: putting a gentoo on one would not be a waste of time
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: imho it is a waste, these folx could quite enjoy life as ~actual~ chicken handlers
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: thread was re 'simulated chicken farmings'
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: well yes!
a111: Logged on 2017-03-20 21:06 mircea_popescu: the fundamental mechanic being that you have animals which you gotta mate and then raise the eggs and you can get varying stuff out of the eggs and etc.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: iirc trinque is the go-to man re g5.
asciilifeform: i thought ben_vulpes was the iphonist
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: aaah 'soft' jailbreak, was it, 'till next reboot'
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: how would crapple break a properly jailbroken box ?
trinque: mircea_popescu: gameboy
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: at one point (the last time asciilifeform gave half a shit, 2010 or so) it was considered ~impossible to get an emulator of whatever kind, past the censors
asciilifeform: i actually have ~0 idea what specifically supports the 'mainstream' commercial existence of the ipad. (as in the old ebay thread with mircea_popescu , it turns out that asciilifeform's uses for various items are often quite nonstandard )
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: ty fxd
jhvh1: mircea_popescu: Acts of Gord : Love the Gord , Fear the Gord: <http://www.actsofgord.com/>; Acts of Gord - The Book of Annoyances: <http://www.actsofgord.com/Annoy/>; Acts of Gord - The Book of Apocalypse: <http://www.actsofgord.com/apocalypse/>
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: was 'casual came' at any point -- in its ~commercial~ ( vs tetrises, alexey pajitnov ) phase of life -- ever anything other than this ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu
asciilifeform: and this reminded me, did mircea_popescu ever write a piece re the 'radium girls' ? the ones that licked the brushes and rotted. they are brought up as darlings of the 'unions' era, 'wurker's rights', etc. but in actuality they not only licked the brushes but painted own lips, nails, jewelry, etc.

a111: Logged on 2017-03-20 03:49 mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes it occurs to me, btw, that the scam whereby people who were holding jobs shares were converted to cook shares is one of the cruelest things in nature.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: even there, 0 reason for lan to be anything but GB
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: no GBe -- not , imho, any kind of router.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-20 03:45 ben_vulpes: no, specifically the macintosh ppc g5's
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Maybe. Serious intl incident material!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: introducing the nonsensical 'original throughout' device ( nobody else, incl asciilifeform , had ) does not help mircea_popescu's argument
asciilifeform: if mircea_popescu wants to inhabit a mental universe where 'there is no such thing as original technology' and xerox parc circa 1970s is exactly same thing as microshit today -- i can't possibly stop him.
asciilifeform: i'd genuinely like to know what mircea_popescu takes issue with in this thread
a111: Logged on 2017-03-20 17:21 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform peons don't enter into it. the sort of captives in the consolidated shit of their own head who ask for a "solid, useful knowhow item" and then IMMEDIATELY retort "it isn't innovative" when such is presented, however... those doods have problems.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-20#1629499 << as i understand 'innovative' is a barf trigger word for mircea_popescu , but i don't know of a more appropriate word. if q is re 'what useful things did you lift from microshit', and someone suggests 'fat16', i can only answer 'it was not innovation, did not originate from the loins of microshit.' ☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu leases entire city blocks and probably operates in somewhat different planet.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: HOUSES have ~100% occupation, where i live.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: sometimes they showed up almost immediately ! as in, next day i call and 'oops sorry it was already snapped'
a111: Logged on 2017-03-20 03:34 ben_vulpes: asks the guy who developed a recreational habit of fixing other people's toilets in the most retarded corner of south america...
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: directx is simply a fruit of collusion with the gpu vendors, i see nothing innovative about it

a111: Logged on 2017-03-20 01:03 mircea_popescu: i don't recall being as pissed off with fat32 at any point throughout the 90s as i've regularly been hence.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-20 01:00 mircea_popescu: we ~might~ even wish to see fat32/
a111: Logged on 2017-03-20 00:58 mircea_popescu: also, we are not at wall : we saw ext4 ; did not see ext2 ; did not see reiserfs.

trinque: ben_vulpes: isn't trimet some kind of quasi-governmental tick sucking on not one, but two states?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes yeah, and guess why ? because outside of the owner, the paper's not worth jack.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes yes, from an individual perspective. but in aggregate, worst case of confederate dollars ever. "we'll take these 5bn shares of apple and replace them with 5bn shjares of crapple. because it's ok hurr."
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: to be fair, anyone who didn't liquidate a week before jobs' illness hit the rags is a derp who got what they deserved
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: bezzle land corporate structuring is just sad on every axis
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes it occurs to me, btw, that the scam whereby people who were holding jobs shares were converted to cook shares is one of the cruelest things in nature. ☟︎
ben_vulpes: old hat for the mircea_popescu's
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: pardon me but the side of your /what/?
trinque imagines ben_vulpes standing atop a fixed shitter patriotically, like the bum in mircea_popescu's parable
a111: Logged on 2017-03-19 23:43 mircea_popescu: it's not a bad thing, not among people who love each other.

mod6: <+mircea_popescu> also, we are not at wall : we saw ext4 ; did not see ext2 ; did not see reiserfs. << for sure. i think we're just getting started baselining these prototypes.
Framedragger: (yeah mircea_popescu afraid i won't have time re. those other two till quite a bit later)
mod6: <+Framedragger> anyway not sure how useful but you might want to take a look at http://thebitcoin.foundation/tickets/ doppler (at *_tickets.html), not sure how up to date. (...) << Yeah, it needs some updating. The new V is going to be out in the next few days. Then will put some time into that.

Framedragger: (okay apparently if your cpu supports 'constant_tsc' (as seen in cpuinfo) then this timestamp counter actually counts time and not processor ticks which is a *good thing* given freq scaling etc.; this is available in all new intel processors; what a rabbit hole, man)
Framedragger: ben_vulpes: cool stuff!
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: many thanks (added a trivial answer just to properly ack). ok time to sleep before blabbering again, mein gott
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: i'm probably doing sth wrong but now one of the two replies i just posted is marked as awaiting moderation and the other doesn't; sorry if i broke some bytes

a111: Logged on 2017-03-17 21:18 pete_dushenski: sadly, the whole 'apres-ski' culture has declined considerably since the 70s, at least around these parts. used to be that hawties with rich papas would show up at the hill, decked out to the 9s and with $500 boots over their shoulder, and just chill and drink in the chalet all day
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: see logs
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: even having 1 leg has its upsides, fewer socks to wash.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-17 13:18 asciilifeform: pete_dushenski seems to be missing out on the 1 and only plus of having just 1 gurl : losing the plastic bag
a111: Logged on 2017-03-17 13:13 asciilifeform: btw pete_dushenski, 'Even with the pill, that forsaken shaman of working woman bondage, the effectiveness is only ~90%.' << this is a lulzy stat, because it lumps in not only user error but outright sabotage
mod6: pete_dushenski: i never thought of it that way.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-17 12:37 mircea_popescu: 99% of sacral fractures are because woman fell flat on her ass like idiot instead of falling on side like nature hardened body to do.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-17 07:20 diana_coman: hm, the first thing I purposefully learnt when on skis was...how to fall; as in: how to fall *without* breaking anything etc
pete_dushenski: also, ben_vulpes must not ski (maybe he boards) because peripheral vision is mucho importante when trails merge at high speed
a111: Logged on 2017-03-17 06:45 ben_vulpes: also helmets are hella comfy and i have nfi what you'd need peripheral vision for
