mircea_popescu: and no, "anything is content for someone" dun fucking hold. this is the direct equivalent of the "dating site" fallacy, whereby "eveyone has
a special someone matching them put on this earth by our infantile protestant notion of god" becomes
a "scientific blabla" (ie,
http://trilema.com/2015/the-lulz-in-dating/#selection-69.0-89.459 ). bullshit. most people are broken, and the idea that they'll be "harmoniously broken togeth
mircea_popescu: i mean, if i bother to pick it up and mock it it maybe becomes content, on
a slow day. but there's one of me and at last count >50mn of the idiots.
mircea_popescu: why exactly is this needed, vice couldn't handle the volume of all the useless crap fat ugly whores spewed out for $5
a title ?
mircea_popescu: their top stories being... "i grepped reddit for
a string", "here is some shannonized nonsense about
a topic too large for enric durany to touch", "how
a kid from sf started
a school in india" and ON AND ON.
mircea_popescu: what fucking content, hackernoon is pompously "where hackers give
a shit" except omitting to discuss how slashdot sold to spammers for exactly the sex traffic value above, and slashdot ACTUALLY WAS
a place hackers gave
a shiot about, unlike hackernews, say, idle pretense aside.
mircea_popescu: and they're all there because
a bunch of business school majors truly imagine they can compete for gatekeeping ; and "content will come"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what REALLY happened was that rms got in everyone's way with his usual "i'm dumb and slow" routine, so they took
a decade to route around him
mircea_popescu: it's not
a fucking problem outside of "holy shit i'm old and i can't deal with reality".
mircea_popescu: and it's exactly the reason "sex trafficking" is
a problem, also. >99% of females have entirely no value whatsoever, as pigs are cheaper to butcher. of those, 14% or so have some resale value as fucktoys, generally in the bitcent to 0.1 btc range.
mircea_popescu: it only exists because
a group of idiots that had no business touching computers nevertheless got some, and their only "idea" was "hey... we should try and control how people display data on their own machines"

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-19#1788278 << i've discovered similar, my 3g phone barely has signal and doesn't last more than
a day in san francisco. presumably because the number of 3g supporting towers is significantly lower here
mircea_popescu: PLUS you get for the first time now the best thing ever : your guy can
a) learn (say, spells) and b) equip, items. because there's meaningful effects to have.
mircea_popescu: phf the spec here is "have
a library of good films accessible to friends" rather than "i want to watch something between blowjobs"
mircea_popescu: also, sokoban is an achieve-structure game ; supaplex more of
a reach-x
phf: aria2, i think it has
a web interface even, but the whole thing is entirely automatic. cron to hoover up torrents from ~/Downloads, ssh them into
a box folder, sleep based script picks it up on other end, feeds it to aria, when finished downloading writes it to an rss and also to
a directory that's expose through apache
mircea_popescu: phf what are you using btw ? i'm thinking deluge, apparently has
a web interface can just get the girlies set up with.
mircea_popescu: phf the notion that you'll have
a local capable of the delivery of any arbitrary actor... really ? kozlov gonna sound like marylin ? slim ? etcetera ?
phf: well, i download the 9gb versions, and have
a script that keeps only one specific audio track. the whole thing is
a semi manual process though, since i have to select the right track by ear, etc.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i don't think we have
a machine that is even free for this purpose; and so don't understand why we'd ship hdds down without
a machine to put 'em in, although i could be being thick and not seeing something
phf: mircea_popescu: well, sometimes quality does suck, when you do e.g.
a wall projection. those 9gb prints are usually done by obsessive people. but main reason is that i'm pulling from slav sources, where 800mb version is slav audio track only. "original audio track" is
a bonus on those "archival" prints
mircea_popescu: phf do you genuinely see
a problem with cd-size movies ?
phf: (but also this is
a thin pipe for 2-9gb customary torrent sizes, i know mircea_popescu is partial to 750mb prints)
mircea_popescu: it blows my mind i got
a discount for being in latinoland.
mircea_popescu: phf suppose tomorrow you decide you want to see $item you read on trilema. should it take you
a week ?
phf: don't need fat pipe to torrent for backups, will just take long time. my torrent box is on
a very thin line, and i just set the upload/download max clients seed ratio etc. appropriately
mircea_popescu: holy shit they're expensive now. i just bought
a 4tb toshiba for ~100 bux locally ; seems item is like 120 or so online ?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes it's
a low spec computer (mostly, two huge disks, otherwiuse modest) ; but anyway, something to grow into.
mircea_popescu: al schwartz's "believe it or not ketamine dun work" has
a lot to do with "well... you've been to the dentist all these many years ?"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not just usian disease anymore. i had some work done recently, very pretty girl, quite competent (sadly, being
a good dentist requires the steady hand only
a properly developed brain can produce. retards can't ever be sharpshooters, dentists, surgeons etc because dubious genetics -> dubios fenotype -> too ungaitly assymetric to perform)
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-04-09 15:10 mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes : is this
a contract you folks want, incidentally ?
a111: Logged on 2016-12-27 18:18 mircea_popescu: oh, hey, I KNEW this was gonna be in there.
a) "I recommend using quaternion variables to represent two things: an object's rotation, and/or
a rotation which you'd like to apply to some object." ; b) "You cannot represent rotations of greater than 180 degrees with Quaternions, and when doing
a Slerp() or MoveTowards() rotation with Quaternions, the rotation always take the shortest path. So if you need to rotate more than 180
a111: Logged on 2018-04-09 15:58 asciilifeform: funnily enuff ~nobody alive knows how to actually build
a ruby interpreter from src
mircea_popescu: all these fucktards, you know. oh, "smashing success". dude, it's an off the cuff item gets done if it even needs any doing over
a weekend.
mircea_popescu: phf ben_vulpes Framedragger any one of you want to add
a gopher service to teh logotron ?
mircea_popescu: it's
a means of expression, you udnerstand this ? emo mostly died because it was evidently pointless, to the poor misunderstood darlings themselves, "all this '''poetry''' that does nothing, not even rhyme."
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, ckang do you have
a pump.io account ?
mircea_popescu: the motivations are transparently unprincipled. i mean -- they published "support" at the bottom, which 100% consists of cheap linkbait by assholes
a la "pump.io" and so forth. support my foot.
mircea_popescu: no because germany is not
a handpuppet. it has like, courts and shit. respek the sovereign cumrag!
a111: Logged on 2018-04-06 20:58 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it is not even clear to me that eben moglen (note, not rms) gpl experiment , i.e. 'use copyrasty against itself', worked for
a short while ( to naked eye it would seem that it did, bsd routines got subsumed into microshit, gnu -- not , but there ~are~ alternative plausible explanations that don't involve 'fear of gpl violation' )
douchebag: Honestly, Texas seems like
a pretty nice place to live
mircea_popescu: the good news for you mod6 being that you don't really have to do anything ; v.pl is fine as it is, for now, and once phf has
a prototype walker you can just move on to that and it'll be cheaper. continue work on your ada guy in the meanwhile at your leisure, seems we're converging that way.
trinque: get to them both in
a bit. doing some surgery.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes : is this
a contract you folks want, incidentally ?
mircea_popescu is commissioning
a new server with
a 1gbps unmetered port to act as
a torrent client, because i've finally decided i wish to keep copies of all the films i review.
mircea_popescu: anyway, this PARTICULAR item is
a chinese forum that actually tracks us / includes (not terrible) translations of trilema pieces for commentary etc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's lots of mfa using my name / stuff. apparently i'm
a valuable google adwords item.
mircea_popescu: but the devil is in the details. consider how this flows : "so mp, do you want
a gui ?" "uh ok" "should it have any buttons on it ?" "kinda what
a gui is" "every button will have to be specified, as to location, as to..." "just get on with it" "6mb, will that be cash or check on other people's time ?" "motherfucker..."
a111: Logged on 2018-04-07 01:25 mircea_popescu: 6mb to get
a fucking blog cms going. oh epic world of bits...
mircea_popescu: the easiest press walk may in principle become very VERY expensive on large enough projects (in terms of the bitcoin blockchain large, 6 digit patches with 1-3 digit files included each it'd be
a true unassailable nightmare). but then again it also bakes in some incentive to NOT DO THAT.
mircea_popescu: phf i guess next on your plate is make
a prototype proper grapher for all time ? then mod6 can put that in v and avoid further such wtfs.
☟︎ phf: fwiw there's no ambiguity in the patchset, the dependency graph _is constrained_. but you can't make that constraint rule based, you can e.g. discover that constraint by walking the graph while keeping the track of the checksums of the press (i suspect there's
a smarter graph theoretical way of doing it, but
a "press walk" is the easiest).
mircea_popescu: which is
a useful warning, because in principle if $1 and $2 could both delivered wanted $file, but the author intended for $1 to be used, $2 might produce different $otherfile than author needed, and then you can't press because your hashes no longer match downstream"
mod6: mircea_popescu: i can try the leftmost trunck on phf's viewer, but not right this minute. maybe in
a few hours. i'm pinned down in the mud. gotta kill the guy in the pillbox first.
mod6: mircea_popescu: well, for instance, it would be nice if I'd have put
a statement in the release version that yells when it throws
a vpatch out for rule breakage.
mod6: alf already instructed me
a number of months ago to be more verbose about failures. I didn't get that done as much on the last release as I was trying to limit the scope to the last change for the press-paths.
mircea_popescu: (which is not even wrong, as the serial application of patches from different branches can result in
a messed up codebase ; but it could be more verbose about what happened)
mircea_popescu: mod6 i suspect we ran into
a novel situation : if there's ambiguous file usage in multi-head bundles, v panics.
mircea_popescu:
a right. hanbot do me
a favour : download ~only~ those patches which are in the leftmost trunk seen on phf's viewer (so exclude vtools_vdiff_sha, and its dependents) and try to flow again ?
☟︎☟︎☟︎ mod6: So made routines that do just that. There almost certainly is not
a built in case where two antecedents have the same output hashes and can use
a single in that csae.
mod6: Before we said "all antecedents must be present for
a descendant to be in the flow".
mod6: i need to do
a deep debugging session to figure out the root cause.
mod6: there is
a reason that those two vpatches are being thrown out.
mod6: Someone needs to write and maintain
a proper V for the republic.
mircea_popescu: read the log, they had
a whole thing recently with like 100kgs worth of various shit.
mircea_popescu: though getting gear into paraguay is
a little finnicky.
ckang: and
a place that doesn't care about DMCA
ckang: I have
a few old supermicro 2u's
douchebag: he's
a bit more into lower level stuff than me
ckang: i guess that is
a big vague though, i poke things until they break
mircea_popescu: phf oh! it tries to press vdiff_sha / etc because they're actually
a dependency for tohex ?! why did you write it this way ?
ckang: to an outsider it is
a pretty extreme idea, but i dig it
mod6: i need to call it
a night.
mod6: I added
a debugging line:
mod6: these vpatches are thrown out as they fail
a previous check.
mod6: someone else now needs to step up and write
a V.
