asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i like to work with mircea_popescu , and would prefer to continue, but as i understand was already proclaimed a lamer, and why would mircea_popescu want to work with a lamer ? ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2019-06-15 19:08 asciilifeform back to ffaism, after short 'vacation' . will order piz irons in coming 2wk, as the req'd fiatola piles up
mp_en_viaje: the whole "bald guy with glasses used to give girls a taste of life, gave stalin some rat poison, thought he'd make phriends among some really weary people who just perceived him as a lunatic" washes with me.
asciilifeform: dun tell me it is on same hrusch.'evidence' as his cannibalism etc
mp_en_viaje: and THIS is the neurosis, substantially, "that if she asks and i say no might as well tell her to find another one".
mp_en_viaje: consider the facts : 1. a permanent erection is a medical emergency. 2. every single female can, in fact, fuck permanently. 3. there's more than one of them as per the definition of the harem.
mp_en_viaje: the problem with revolutionaries is that they're driven by want, not by possibility. leaving aside how what they want isn't generally what they need (as they manage to somehow discover what they need or else don't get mentioned by name, the set remembered by history is thereby selected for this trait), by the time someone figures out what the fuck it was they were doing... it generally happens at the orchestra&gunsalute funeral of one of them rev
mp_en_viaje: the bird sings in the tree there as everywhere. but there, well... there it;s not calling anyone to anything.
mp_en_viaje: fwiw i do not believe the morons who ended up on suburbs acted purposefully. they ~ended up~ there, as the just desserts of a life spent being derpy. they didn't derpy deliberately, they just derpy.
mp_en_viaje: integration as a cultural phenomenon is catalized by communication infrastructure. always was, there's a reason medieval china collapsed in the arms of the steam-powered brits, or "multi-milenary" korea in japanese.
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-29#1920588 << this is the substance of the whole jeans/rocknroll discussion, as well as the theme of integration. ☝︎
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-29#1920572 << the mutual fixation was a matter of convenience. way the fuck cheaper for each retard in class to pick the other as "archnemesis" than to actually confront reality. there's a reason ignatius reilly / minka minkoff or w/e her name is are writing to each other. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: trinque: As in the place they fixate on as "having made it"
asciilifeform: among thinking folx in modern ru , 'miami usa' is often derisively referred to as 'valinor' , after the distant land tolkien's elves decamped to when shit hit the fan in their world
asciilifeform: understand, congenital disease of orc, is to envy the western rome, 'where streets are clean, lifts -- unpissed, women -- as on cover of 'playboy''
trinque: the miami meme is still a little lost on me, born as I was in FL, shithole supreme.
asciilifeform: near as, without time machine, i can tell -- spared'em because believed that his succession would be recognized by his peers.
asciilifeform: they believed roughly same thing as such people believe today. that it is possible to do things, and they're worth doing. 'act from principle'(tm)(r)(mp) & so on.
asciilifeform: trinque: the Officially held sov-religion makes approx as much sense to innocent modern ears as, e.g. catholicism. it's imho largely a distraction from the meat.
asciilifeform: is how norway, qatar, et al, ended up as they are.
asciilifeform: suddenly it 'doesn't matter' that throne is surrounded by sycophants and halfwits, industry run into the ground, etc. 'so long as the pipe keeps gushing'
asciilifeform: installed l. p. beria as grand vizier, who immediately beheaded the leftists who operated lenin's meat grinder, and amnestied 1/3 or so of total prisoner ( hrusch -- murdered beria, let go another 1/3 and took credit for whole thing, and repainted beria as 'cannibal' )
trinque: do you see this as a management failure, inevitability, inferior stock, other?
a111: Logged on 2019-06-27 07:03 mp_en_viaje: trinque, i do not believe you will find such a thing as a useful history of rus' 20th century in this language, like you have say a useful history of the latin centuries 3-5.
BingoBoingo: In the saga of the worst sport, futbol. Uruguay was eliminated from the Copa America by Peru in a game where they put the ball in the goal three times during regulation play, none of which counted for various femstate reasons. Lost the 0-0 tie in a sort of coinflip dressed as a shootout.
asciilifeform: gotta luvv the limba de lemn, as well as the smoke bomb 'ooh it's about broken installations, not factorable moduli, dun listen to terrorists' and 'here's our fix, use our New, Improved, Curated keyserv at ftmea^HH^H^H^Hopenpgp.org' etc
asciilifeform wonders if ordinary hammock too much resembles that rope-and-iron-frames fixator mp_en_viaje described as having built for the pets, and from this can't stomach sitting on it himself
mp_en_viaje: i mean they're kinda cool as an "activity", but they're not real bridges, they're more like a niovelty.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: thinking about it, would also like to eventually proclaim the mips tool set as a snsa production. but prolly premature for broadcast.
mp_en_viaje: there is such a thing as evil in the world, and it's this preference for the worse of the underclass.
asciilifeform: even the lappies here in torture room aint 'as came from factory', pretty much all needed nic swap at least
mp_en_viaje: and yes, sure as fuck my father's oltcit came with complete manual, incl parts inventory, description, etc. you could have MADE one, if had the cnc mills and patience.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-22 00:50 mircea_popescu: people did that sort of thing, back then. and all the fuckbook tards who paint the dude (rightfully or not, i don't give a shit) as the summum malum never as much as put together a fucking lego box.
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: I'm inclined to believe the split happens as described, but given the marketing of medicine in the US can't rule out some dorks taking benadryl for daytime allergies, Prozac for their sexless depression, and other benadryl for sleep chemically shaping their brain into dementia
mp_en_viaje: entirely possible, they'll end up with a pile of dementia as a result of smoke bans.
mp_en_viaje: and it's not a technological discussion. it's a matter of philosophy, as in, internalized worldviews.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: not the least bit pissed off. simply must point out that to frame as 'they could not stand' is mistake, it aint as if villagers with pitchforks swapped sovok-1 for sovok-2 , or 2 for 3, etc
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, "dementia risk" as used there is simply the result of longer life spans. the brain decays, all successful medicine carries the risk of dementia in this sense.
mp_en_viaje: (the reference here is : all dying cultures are china shops. they become reflexive as they become sterile ; no longer capable of distinguishing the important from the inconsequential, they aim to machinally "preserve" themselves.)
asciilifeform: i dunget the appeal of the shitboard. why wouldja want to stand on plank ? i got tired of it as 5yo
mp_en_viaje: as opposed to a culture of whatever the fuck this "our company policy" bullshit is.
mp_en_viaje: i once passed an exam (whatever, highschool term paper) because i introduced as a lemma a clearly absurd geometrical proof ("all straight angles are obtuse") and then on the basis of this 1=2 proceeded to prove the question at hand. the teacher a) gave me full points because couldn't spot the error in the absurdity and then b) took sick leave the next day
a111: Logged on 2019-06-27 14:23 asciilifeform: as for the peanut gallery folx, unsurprisingly idjit konsoomer likes to remember 'no jeans' but somehow prefers not to remember the 6 weeks of vacation, rent-free flat, or for that matter the culture of literacy where e.g. publication like 'kvant', with topology, theory of computability, etc. puzzlers , of top quality and for popular! audience
BingoBoingo: Anyways, it appears CIA has no qualms about marketing whatever drugs it can. During Nam they marketed heroin in the US as well. When they lost flights from SEA they went full bore into coca.
BingoBoingo: Not so different from the cognitive dissonance that makes Pashtuns thing pants are shit over as they fight empire to stalemate on all fronts.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-27 07:12 mp_en_viaje: but, fundamentally, what you ask for doesn't exist because the russkis are morons ; and not a little morons, as in neglectful. they're thoroughly and fractally fucked in the head, and thereby they've made for themselves such a history of the 20th century, ~through fucking living it~ as no sane human being could readily follow.
asciilifeform: as for the '80s denouement -- see also thrd. ☝︎
asciilifeform: or for that matter the research culture that was the butthurt envy of entire 'civilized world' (as late as '90, pentagon spent $B's on translations, from which cribbed all sortsa material, e.g. 'stealth airplane' )
asciilifeform: as for the peanut gallery folx, unsurprisingly idjit konsoomer likes to remember 'no jeans' but somehow prefers not to remember the 6 weeks of vacation, rent-free flat, or for that matter the culture of literacy where e.g. publication like 'kvant', with topology, theory of computability, etc. puzzlers , of top quality and for popular! audience ☟︎
asciilifeform: on top of this, add the fact that sovok was really 4 separate items, as diff. as e.g. roman 'kings' period vs republic vs empire : 1) lenin epoch 2) stalin 3) hrusch 4) 'stagnation' and wrap-up. ☟︎
mp_en_viaje: but, fundamentally, what you ask for doesn't exist because the russkis are morons ; and not a little morons, as in neglectful. they're thoroughly and fractally fucked in the head, and thereby they've made for themselves such a history of the 20th century, ~through fucking living it~ as no sane human being could readily follow. ☟︎
mp_en_viaje: after that, things will snap into meaning as time goes by and you happen to read things, which is exactly what a local intelectual (or however you'd call the cultural dominant class) does anyway.
mp_en_viaje: you can read as much of its links and references as you have the time / stomach / patience for ; you will not become knowledgeable thereby, but you will become more capable of distinguishing between useful and useless source material than you are now, and importantly : capable enough to trust yourself (though to some degree you're evidently capable even now, i suspect the absence of that last element's what irks you).
mp_en_viaje: ike the former read the one true book as there isn't such a thing, it's that the former spent days upon days and weeks and weeks and years fucking around with a broken thing and its disparate legs and probiscii -- would be picking up sheila fitzpatrick's swansong (revisionism in soviet history).
mp_en_viaje: trinque, i do not believe you will find such a thing as a useful history of rus' 20th century in this language, like you have say a useful history of the latin centuries 3-5. ☟︎
trinque: asciilifeform: any history writers you recommend on the soviet era? I watched that garbage of which Orlov wrote, characters might as well have winked at the camera and sang "take me out to the ballgame"
BingoBoingo: Well, Costa Rica is tropical. Here I'm at roughly the same latitude as St Louis. We have a winter. Not particularly cold, but the days get short.
billymg: buying property in tropical_beach_location also seems like least questioned way of moving fiat, seeing as how retiree expats do it all the time. otherwise would probably just rent first
asciilifeform: hm i read billymg's q as re where ought he to take up residence.
mp_en_viaje: most real estate in ukrlands is owned by banks as it stands anyway, austrian etc.
billymg: she would offer other services as well, tantric massage, bdsm stuff is her speciality here
billymg: and fill as many gaps in my knowledge -- technical, lingual, personal -- as i can
mp_en_viaje: mind that owning real estate [as a business] in foreign jurisdictions, esp exotic ones, is generally very demanding of the owner, in terms of business acumen and experience and etc.
mp_en_viaje: businesswise i dunno, if you have some kinda insider tip then it may work for you ; but in the general i suspect cr is actually overbought as it stands, and while the effect may be least noticeable in the rural edges, there's a reason for this -- marginality dampens, meaning the tiny sliver of overboughtness spilled all the way to over there is actually fair and market supported, meaning good times won't propagate any better.
bvt: if you want, can share the tarballs as well. afaik mips also uses zcx by default -- i did not change anything there
asciilifeform: i recall somewhere a discussion of 'voraphiles', where author sorted'em into 2 distinct subspecies, one which wants to be properly eaten & digested, but another, distinct type, which wants to live 'as jonah in whale', as a foetus-like parasite
asciilifeform: asciilifeform's relatives see him as lunatic : 'why didja buy that btc/plane ticket/lispm, you oughta have put in 401k/realestate bezzle/stocks !!'
asciilifeform: (in so far as can tell with naked eye of what it consists)
diana_coman: where "one of us" is really "us", there is no such thing as "one"
mp_en_viaje: it's almost as if the pantsuit honestly believe they found the holy grail of scamming, everyone else is doing it wrong (tm)
mp_en_viaje: it's pretty bloodcurdling, this brave new world as examined through the lifting of the smallest of rocks hiding its wormy pullulation from the sun.
diana_coman: I suppose it makes sense as moving on from pretending to learn to pretending to do /serve as there's nothing else apparently.
mp_en_viaje: "KYC User information, where available, supplied to Quadriga has been saved directly within the Platform. The data is not masked in any way. Administrative access such as the access previously utilized by the independent consultants and Mr. Cotten and the access granted to the Monitor allows access to view KYC information for any User. Given the sensitivity of this personal information, the Monitor has restricted Platform access
mp_en_viaje: github-retardation/][github] or usg the topnode itself. these don't equally represent themselves, spuriously if ridiculously, as "serving users" that don't exist (and they don't serve), as having money they don't have (or for that matter understand) and so following. no, not them, just this one, exceptionally.
mp_en_viaje: "Quadriga represented itself as being one of Canada’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges serving over 360,000 registered Users. Notwithstanding the size of the operation in terms of transactional values and volumes processed, specifically during 2017 and 2018, Quadriga was effectively a small operation with what appears to be limited corporate infrastructure and limited controls in respect of its operations." << gotta love the rich pretense there

mp_en_viaje: in other lulz : they have reindeer pelts for sale in one of these revolting "souvenirs" to take home so as to pretend like norway isn't a complete shithole thatshould be glassed.. costs ~two pelts to pay for a cab ride to the airport.

a111: Logged on 2019-06-24 17:27 asciilifeform: it'll defo need review by literate folx before deployment to such things as piz, tho.
mp_en_viaje: just about yeah. they have a very... well, social view of police. exactly as dorel visan's character says, "suna lumea la politie ca la un prieten". it
mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, you know... italy is 5 hours away, as compared to 12.

ave1: As for work, I'm doing more management
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-24#1919871 << check it out, empire decides "by itself" to implement republican wot-only IP claims system, coincidentally omits any mention as to where it learned it. ☝︎
asciilifeform: trinque: i used not long ago a recent huawei lappy. same irons as top-of-line crapple, 1/3 the cost, and 10x less fan whine.
BingoBoingo: Or as PIT-CNT is calling it "paro general de 24 horas"
asciilifeform: in the flagship branch, it comes into play as base case when 8 or fewer words in multiplicand
bvt: in case only asm is used, plain comba may be fast enough as well
asciilifeform: bvt: what i meant is, the optimal asmistic base case is not necessarily comba. could be 'micro' karatsuba, or even straight schoolbook mul. for so long as asm.
asciilifeform: so, entirely useless for the given problem, near as i can see
asciilifeform: bvt: afaik sse offers only the very same 64x64bit multiplier as ordinary x64.
asciilifeform: it'll defo need review by literate folx before deployment to such things as piz, tho. ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2017-11-19 05:19 lobbes: Currently going down the headless-browser path ben_vulpes suggested. Looking into phantomjs atm, which seems like it could do the job. I have an old craptop I'm thinking of using as the proverbial 'public toilet' to house it on. (This is the same craptop I was planning to put a trb node on. I put a spanking-new ssd in there but then realized that the ethernet dun work anymore; wifi only. May be a good use for the thing to just be a turd server in
a111: Logged on 2019-06-04 00:51 asciilifeform: incidentally, i generate these by machine, and it takes about 3sec per. would have put it as a net-connected hopper thing aeons ago, BUT it of course uses a heathen render (there are no 'demonstrably electrically correct' pdf eaters, and i dun expect one to exist) and suffers from the obvious problem
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-23#1919694 << prolly i oughta elaborate. in case wasn't clear, i've a ~12kB x64 proggy that boots a mostly-stock linux 3.x kernel, with uart as only device. which means that applications like this are theoretically possible, when i get back to this subj. ☝︎☝︎
diana_coman: meanwhile I'm trying to disentangle here the cs/ps mess and I'm scratching my head at various bits: the CS engine works everywhere with names (strings) as ids (i.e. there are FindX functions only with string param, not with some numeric id despite the fact that internally it DOES HAVE them ffs) BUT then in some places it keeps various hashmaps with numeric ids for "common strings"
ave1: btw I've *not* used the ada core version as a starting point for about a year now
trinque: oddly the OS reports a missing libc as "file not found" when executing the bin that wants it
mp_en_viaje: and i STILL know as close as anything can be known as a matter of fact that the code's fundamentally fine, and some wrapper intermediary is spuriously fucking it up.
