mircea_popescu: Meprobamate << amusingly,
this was widely dispensed for... ulcer.
BingoBoingo: Soviets just got sloppy when
the latched onto schizophrenia as psychiatric umbrella. West has been riding
this bipolar/"mood spectrum disorder" grinder for a while now.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyone ever wondered what every kid being a reefer says about
their country ?
mircea_popescu: "the western world - a place so miserable
teenage suicide is still
the exception, but
teenage cns depressant medication
the rule"
☟︎ BingoBoingo: If only because all
the other
tranquilizers like miltown and
thalidomide are so much easier
to pile on
to. "Miltown, what kind of drug has bezoars as a side effect?"
BingoBoingo: The benzodiazepine revolution has happened, and it's going
to be a while before it can get stigma'd out like
tobacco.
BingoBoingo: Not really. And really benzos like Xanax are
the "safer"
tranquilizers.
mircea_popescu: "oh, but it helps people. it calms my nerves!" was iirc
the state-of-the-art in
tobacco "critiquing" for about a century.
mircea_popescu: no chance for psych medication
to go
the way of
tobacco, is
there ?
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Apparently its popular. I always
thought it was a myth.
BingoBoingo: Or mebbe
to
teach
the Uni a lesson when
the civil suits come because a bunch of frat bros were popping xanax and buttchugging vodka now
that
their weed is gone.
BingoBoingo: Because available and
the rappers are doing it.
mircea_popescu: why
the fuck would
they
take xanax in
the first place.
BingoBoingo: Just imagine. You
take away all
the drugs
they can handle and
they gotta resort
to drugs
they don't know wtf
to do with.
BingoBoingo: st zombies, all doing Xanax because
they couldn’t smoke pot and stuff so it was
the only
thing
they could do."
BingoBoingo: "There’s
this one fraternity—really well-known on campus, attracted a lot of attention—that started getting drug-tested and it’s still
talked about how
this fraternity went from, like, a group of guys who functioned normally and held high position among
the university and
then
they all just became ‘bartards’—that’s
the
term for people who eat Xanax bars.
They all went from just, you know, regular college guys
to ju
mircea_popescu: "Apparently Juniper only realised
this recently and not when
they were issuing KB28205." yaya.
mircea_popescu: Update: Shortly after reading my post, Willem Pinckaers pointed out
that
the reseed_system_prng function sets
the global variable system_prng_bufpos
to 32.
This means
that after
the first invocation of
this function,
the for loop right after
the reseed call in system_prng_gen_block never executes. Hence,
the ANSI X9.31 PRNG code is completely non-functional.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and
this is kinda also what powers
the "uber revolution" : if you're willing
to go from drivers
to unskilled labour, you may "save" a little change off your ride and uber can make a killing.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: here's a rough rule of
thumb : if
the guy bringing you your donut is making below minimum wage, he is BY DEFINITION of
the
terms "minimum wage" and "waiter" NOT a waiter. because being a waiter IS A PROFESSION, just like being a computer engineer or a driver. meanwhile minimum wage is reserved for UNSKILLED!!! labour. like webstack developers and singer-songwriter-tablewaiters.
mircea_popescu: bahwhahahahaha. random douche who
thinks "waiters" =
the douches just like him moving around
tgi
tuesdays is going
to
TEACH something, by repeating it over and over. an'
thart something ain't gonna be "this fat poor sucker's also a jerk". it's gonna be something else. because he's
the not so little
train engine
that can!
mircea_popescu: "Why I NEVER
Tip White Waiters If you want
to
teach someone something, it is usually best
to do it over and over."\
mircea_popescu: (btw, is
this known universally or just ro junior high amusement ? buncha kids get around
tree, see who pisses on it
the highest ?)
mircea_popescu: that's what
they said back at camp when we were doing
the piss up
tree competition.
BingoBoingo: I
think
they are
the goody
too shoed bitch ones
davout: mircea_popescu: now it works, also nice DNS servers,
ten points
to gryffyndor
BingoBoingo still waiting for
the levorotary/dexrotary gender crISIS
mircea_popescu: you ain't homosexual or a male, sweetie. you're just a girl with
too much loose change in her brainbox.
mircea_popescu: no,
that's not
the issue.
the issue is
that a dumbass feminist who ate enough so you can't distinguish her wasp bites from man boobs imagines herself a "homosexual male".
mircea_popescu: THAT is
the problem. idiot imagines what sane people will choke on is
the notion
that she's a dumbass feminist.
mircea_popescu: Many
think
that Intersectional Feminism is at odds with cis het white men.
This stems from
the fact"
mircea_popescu: "Most people would assume I am a walking oxymoron. At least,
they would assume
the latter part of
that word. However, I am here
today
to give you a glimpse of how it is possible
to be a cissexual heterosexual white male intersectional feminist and how I’m living proof.
mircea_popescu: <davout> DNS resolution doesn't seem
to work << what do you see ?
mircea_popescu: lol
theymos got -39 reddit votes. clearly
teh system wurx.
mircea_popescu: i suppose it's based on how
they judge
their ability
to comprehend wtf alf did. "this is crazy" "this is batshit insane" "i have no idea wtf
this even is" and perhaps other layers.
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> interesting
to note
the various
timelines for replication of
trb work <<< quite.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, on one hand fair is fair and on
the other hand not only is it not our cattle, we don't fucking want
to herd cattle in
the first place. so...
mircea_popescu: "Lightning will allow for almost all of
the security, features, and decentralization of Bitcoin
transactions while drastically reducing
the number of on-blockchain
transactions
that each individual will need
to perform.
This is expected
to be
the real eventual solution
to scaling."
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> war <<< "There will not be any hardfork for at least
the next ~year." <<< mno. no war, sheepish surrender. we find
these
terms acceptable,
to quote !churchill.
mircea_popescu: that's just fucking dumb. privilege is being
thin, as a male.
BingoBoingo: I have no idea
the dark magic mircea_popescu worked in
the routing.
davout: DNS resolution doesn't seem
to work
BingoBoingo: Ah so he's either fat or manorexic
to
top it all off
punkman: "The patriarchy expects me
to be a big burly man
to soak up all
the privilege I can. However, I find
that
the
thinner you are as a male,
the more willing people are
to interact with you because you are not so
threatening. As I get
thinner,
the patriarchy has a harder
time keeping a hold on me because I can slip
through its fingers more easily."
punkman: "People call
themselves a sushi chef after
two
to four years of making sushi, or going from restaurant
to restaurant instead of
taking up an apprenticeship.
That doesn’t fly in my book. When a white sushi chef says, “I would work
there, but it was
too demanding,”
then I say you are definitely
too weak and we are not cut from
the same cloth."
punkman: "Not
to be "that guy", but as cool as it is
to ponder doing
this in some bright, shiny language like Rust or ML, Ada exists for a reason.
There's even an open source compiler (Gnat)
that can already generate code
that can link with C/C++/etc code bases. Work would need
to go into streamlining
the run
time overhead for
this use case, but how much compared
to maintaining some C compiler

titanically-spiffy box mircea_popescu built, and hasn't - as of yet - anything else
there.
though it will shortly)
assbot: Logged on 17-12-2015 15:01:36; mircea_popescu:
this will also add a 0.7-.8 expense on
the s.nsa books, but hey, whatchagonnado.
assbot: Logged on 21-12-2015 23:38:07; mircea_popescu: holy shit it's in a dpaste in
the logs ?
assbot: Logged on 21-12-2015 22:32:49; asciilifeform: once mod6 and ben_vulpes shrinkwrap a buildroot, gcc, et al.
this will be possible
ben_vulpes: interesting

☟︎ assbot: Logged on 22-12-2015 01:20:33; mircea_popescu:
trhis sounds like home.
trinque lets
the new deedbot node have a
taste
assbot: Logged on 22-12-2015 03:41:28; mod6: is
that one Mr. P.'s node? i seem
to remember maybe
that one was stopped or something? asciilifeform /just/ updated Zoolag and Bucephalus
BingoBoingo: Comments from
the last ~week are missing, but..
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform>
thing doesn't appear
to need
tools << Requires
tools in wetware
mircea_popescu: in unrelated news,
telecentro sa might be
the shittiest isp
the world has ever seen.
BingoBoingo: Looks very cool, but I lack
tools
to give quality analysis
mircea_popescu: You can
then run
this with something like LC_ALL=C nohup ./bitcoind -myip=<yourip> -addnode=trusted_node_1 -addnode=trusted_node_2 -verifyall 2>&1 &
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ind-99997K.sh) and make it executable (chmod +x build-bitcoind-99997K.sh) and
then you run it (./build-bitcoind-99997K.sh).
that's pretty much it,
takes half hour or so, spits out an executable bitcoind (in /rotor/TEST2/bitcoin/src).
mircea_popescu: anyway, for pete_d and anyone else who might have encountered difficulty with
trb or fears
they might : it's actually rather painless. 1. you create an account on a server ; 2. you cd /home/account_name ; 3. you create a .wot directory (mkdir .wot) ; 4. you put
the pubkeys of people you
trust in
there as name1.asc, name2.asc etc ; 5. you download
the rotor script (curl deedbot.org/build-bitcoind-99997K.sh > build-bitco
☟︎ mod6: i
think he said he did anyway
mod6: is
that one Mr. P.'s node? i seem
to remember maybe
that one was stopped or something? asciilifeform /just/ updated Zoolag and Bucephalus
☟︎ mod6: are you
trying
to sync against a single node?
mod6: <+danielpbarron> yeah appears so << did
the whole
thing build for you alright?
phf: he was a strong willed man, and many people from former su countries paid
their respects, i'd feel accomplished in life if i can live up
to his legacy
mod6: Sorry
to hear
that phf.
phf: i'm still around, my dad died on
the 10th, so i've been busy arranging his affairs
