lauren22:
I remember the beans from elementary school somewhat
lauren22:
I have only heard it referenced with Hitler stuff mostly.
mircea_popescu: no, that's not what
i mean.
i mean
i don't want to play genitorial roulette,
i'd rather choose the new members of this family myself.
mircea_popescu: lauren22 ben_vulpes has a coupla, the other married guy left ;
i keep slavegirls, most everyone else is vaguer about it.
douchebag: trinque:
I'll do actual work once
I have a machine that can be on 24/7
lauren22:
I wonder how laptop sales have done since modern phones, many friends don't even own laptop anymore.
a111: Logged on 2018-04-13 20:35 douchebag: hey mircea_popescu do
I get 0.01 for finding a flaw with deedbot again :D
lauren22: Oh,
I started in CS, did not finish though.
mircea_popescu: trinque
i sent payments they didn't have keys yet,
i don't want to resent lest it ends up doublespent.
mircea_popescu: now modesty aside, considering
i've seen your tits : what DO you do with yourself ?
mircea_popescu: zx2c4
i'm sorry,
i got confused. " this scandal is why socrates didn't even fucking want plato's disgusting silver. and now think -- that for his great merits, socrates was in fact given by the city "2000 btc"" is what
i meant.
mircea_popescu: and now think -- that for his great merits, aristotle was in fact given by the city "2000 btc", ie exactly what you mean by it, "sufficient money so as
i can be a righteous man alone".
zx2c4: not sure
i have the same interpretation of phaedo as you
mircea_popescu: zx2c4 so
i take it you're familiar with history as retold by the esl : how socrates died, and how plato did not die.
zx2c4:
i enjoy plato most
mircea_popescu: but
i affirm that you equivocate "lesiure", in that your idea of leisure is never what occured when actual civilisation was produced.
zx2c4:
i'm not saying everyone with leisure _does_ do something worthwhile with it. but you cant deny that leisure is in many cases a necessary precondition for many great aspects of civilization
☟︎☟︎ zx2c4: for example,
i've spent my life studying greek philosophy and playing jazz music, and it doesn't pay anything. hence programming. but the economics of those activities doesn't really relate to their quality or importance
zx2c4:
i don't think so. plenty of people with the necessary leisure study or create literature, philosophy, music, art -- great aspects of civilization for which there isn't always an immediate economic incentive
douchebag: hey mircea_popescu do
I get 0.01 for finding a flaw with deedbot again :D
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and in all cases the answer comes back again and again, "
i was an inadequate successor to a greater past".
zx2c4: one difference is that the ruins aren't people, not that they are, obviously. not sure
i'm getting your rhetorical point...
mircea_popescu: and
i know jewish cemeteries with upkept graves. what's the difference ?
zx2c4:
i know a lot of rich people with trust funds set up by their ancestors. they receive fixed income every month, and otherwise aren't hassled
zx2c4: how does that necessarily lead to "being stupid"? what if
i just choose to raise a boring family and live a boring life?
zx2c4: the reason is actually, "so that
i can have a fixed income without any concrete labor obligations"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: zx2c4 looky, the only reason you want "an infinity of monyz" is "so that
i don't have to tihnk of monyz anymore", which is simply the way you've rephrased "so
i can be stupid with impunity" in a way to meet your blindspots.
zx2c4:
i realize that's the classic trope -- it's the kind of thing you read about all the time
zx2c4:
i dont think it'd translate into any kind of significant "power beyond my means"
mircea_popescu: zx2c4 this certainty is borne out of nothing in particular.
i've been sitting here for many years, watching many kinds and sorts of people getting power beyond their means.
zx2c4:
i'm pretty certain no calamity would come of it...
zx2c4: oh,
i really don't think that'd be the case
zx2c4: the latter point -- because you suppose
i'd convert it to EUR and that'd harm BTC in general?
zx2c4: to put differently, if 2000 BTC suddenly showed up in 1ASnTs4UjXKR8tHnLi9yG42n42hbFYV2um,
I'd be quite happy and don't think
i'd be worse off
mircea_popescu: zx2c4 understand, this self-flattering notion that you're in control is bunk. you're in no position to be in control in that sense. all that you're filtering for by that mechanism is "bullshit deal
i don't comprehend". which... of course you would be.
zx2c4:
i'd be wary of any 'deal' that's different from: '
i'm given money. you're given warm feelings of having helped the internet.'
☟︎ zx2c4:
i still dont see how this applies to my situation,
mircea_popescu:
i promise you it's worth the read ; if you read it and think otherwise you can come here an' complain.
zx2c4: mircea_popescu: this article is about making a company right?
i'm not doing that. im just writing painstaking careful code and giving it to the world for free
☟︎ mircea_popescu: kinda why
i never bothered ; basically the whole "tech" imperial flea circus is this game of trying to outsource your costs on a sucker. whether it's ugc or gsoc, or "investing" or w/e else.
zx2c4: large part of the student motivation is the mentoring,
i suppose
mircea_popescu: zx2c4 how's that work out btw ?
i vaguely considered it for eulora but never actually bothered to push the point.
mircea_popescu: douchebag maybe
i checked too late. anyway, ima wait for the man to come by and set this straight.
douchebag: mircea_popescu
I'm talking to thatbitchlola right now, apparently she got paid before she registered her PGP key
zx2c4:
i wasn't planning on immortality, but if you say so...
zx2c4:
i like systems programming in crypto
zx2c4: mircea_popescu: some time, though of course not enough to support a whole project for a whole year.
i'm wondering about great flowering riches
mircea_popescu: zx2c4
i don't get it, you just got a coin, should last you a while neh ?
zx2c4: wondering - how might
i achieve great wealth and donations for wireguard from you/trilema?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: hanbot these are gonna become incantations lol. "hi
i'm here to show you my tits" "<< it's good for about half a n hour, don't dilly-dally." and so on.
douchebag:
i got a bunch interested right now
a111: Logged on 2018-04-12 17:27 mircea_popescu: zx2c4 the good news is that
i am now finally in a position to explain what EXACTLY is meant by "terrorist" : that feeling in
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-12#1797417 when shit keeps coming and coming and coming up. what is it, if not spiritual terror ?
thatbitchlola:
i used to be a prostitute, now
i pimp out the younger girls
danna33: mircea_popescu:
I am here for the titsforbits
mod6: (
i gleaned 'lseek()' from the 0x8 syscall, not sure if im accurate on that tho)
mod6:
I'm still keeping an eye on it.
I'm all ears if anyone has any debugging suggestions.
mircea_popescu: mod6 it might be,
i dunno it necessarily is, disk is far from dead-dead.
mod6: anyway, will take it up with them. but that's probably what
i've been chasing for the lsat few weeks.
mod6: just was surprised 'tis all. thought it was new, or
i would have sent one myself.
mod6: nope. called dc, was like sweet as pie, "plz put in ssd, or
i'll send you one, can you put in?" "yup, we've got one, no problem."
mod6: that's 146 days. mind you,
I only had this emplaced in my box in like beginning of march or some such.
mircea_popescu: mod6 61 relocation events...
i guess it's starting to go the way of rust.
a111: Logged on 2018-04-13 15:15 mod6:
I did a core dump, and the call stack seems to indicate when
I'm "stuck", it's stuck in an lseek() call.
shinohai: it's raining tits of late. April showers and all
i suppose
☟︎ mircea_popescu: for instance,
i'd very much like a spos for my torrent box -- a fs that only allocates the disk in 1mb chunks would be good ; a better nic driver would be better.
mircea_popescu: spyked how about THIS definition for the operating system : "that set of code that is trusted implicitly". this then makes EVERYTHING on a windows machine operating system, which
i contend is right and proper -- the necessary result of opaque monolith systems design is universalization of the os.
☟︎ diana_coman: or at least that was the old idea as far as
I know it
douchebag: hey
I was away when she didn't know how to get revoiced
diana_coman: ah, ah,
I think
I know the sort; some inept "story line" in short bits and otherwise still gotta do the clicking for this or for that, either "farm" or "puzzle" or whatevers same thing underneath
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in spykedisms, '
I further propose that current definitions of the term operating system are ill-conceived, and that the problem of how to properly design a general-purpose operating system is in principle unresolvable, first and foremost because there is no such thing as a "general-purpose operating system"'
diana_coman: ah, that part
I see;
I tried to click on Start...
diana_coman: ugh, barfs that
I don't have flash
I suppose
diana_coman: for all the supposed Easter and all the supposed town, it felt for the first time like the villages in Baragan; possibly part of the explanation it's also the first time
I saw queues (as in actual queues, more than 20 people) at the ..."currency exchange and pawn shop" places
diana_coman: the one in the woods quite as usual if changed for the usual erosion that has been going on in that area ever since
I know it; the town-wilderness was somehow sad beyond description
mircea_popescu: the brief discussion supports the interpretation, her justification ultimately was "maybe
i find something".
danielpbarron: mircea_popescu, yes
i was just discussing that yesterday. the lost man who thinks his life sucks verses the lost man who thinks his life is great : the former is at least one step closer to the truth of the matter
mod6:
i do have core files available if you request them. will pgp-gram them to you, rather large tho.
diana_coman: mod6,
I had a look at that dump but sadly
I can't say
I get what's going on exactly atm
