mircea_popescu: that'd kick ass btw. "our fleet consists of
this flagship
that is a
tank factory. it outputs
tanks in continuous motion (60mph) 4
thick."
trinque: bleh, gawker. but anyhow,
there's
the beast
mircea_popescu: if you just have it hover on water, you should be able
to move a fucking
tank plant.
trinque: the largest one seemed capable of moving more
than a few
tanks
ascii_field: trinque: 'экраноплан' - but
think of it as a very fast gunboat, rather
than a plane
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: self-steering projectile ~really~ wants
to be a rocket, not only because guidance apparatus costs and so may as well include large warhead, but also because changing direction kills velocity if all you got is
the acceleration in
the barrel (classical bullet)
trinque thought
the caspian sea monster and other ground-effect planes were
this, but recently considered
the value of massive
transport across
the caspian and black seas
assbot: Logged on 21-02-2015 04:28:52; asciilifeform: in j. sladek's 'tik
tok', sf novel in '83, in
the 'dark future' (tm) an aircraft-carrier-with-wheels, vast and infinitely expensive, is finally built
mircea_popescu: and MIT was adverttiosing "learn how
to light lightbulbs and other wonders of 1800 science!
TODAY!"
ascii_field: doesn't mean quite same
thing as 'happened' aha
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: iirc lockheed was advertising
this
mircea_popescu: "why learn how
to shoot ? fire our ICBM Pea at your enemies!"
ascii_field: (before window closes ! while
they're worth something !)
ascii_field: trinque: why not simply
throw
trunks of benjies at
the enemy, aha
trinque: gonna be a sad
thing when we
try
to field whichever f35s can fly
mircea_popescu: not many folks remember
today where
their asshole is located. wut of it.
ascii_field: not many folks remember
today who made
the best bombard, either.
mircea_popescu: (/me vaguely suspects
that much like
the french get
the
trophy for "last and
therefore best supersonic air
transport",
the ru may get
the
trophy for "last and
therefore best" fighter jet. i somehow doubt a better one's ever getting made, by anyone)
mircea_popescu: trinque anyway,
the su's got
that superb su,
they gotta use it before
the window closes in 5 -10years.
ascii_field: (iirc
the ru lease in cuba lapsed when
they couldn't make rent in '90s)
mircea_popescu: lmao if
the romanians manage
the performance of leasing some land
to
the russians right next
to
the land
their leased
the americans
to make
their military bases
trinque: I wonder if
that will develop into something specific against US-supported
terrorism.
trinque: I recall recently Putin calling for an international something against
terrorism.
ben_vulpes: but when i want
to build builtins in my rental, i use compressed air and nails.
ben_vulpes: <BingoBoingo> Interlocking cuts, glue, and clamps are
the way,
the
truth, and
the light in furniture << aye aye
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: yea.
that
too. actually got submitted by 3 separate people @_@
ascii_field: mircea_popescu:
they have many more
than 2 ты/вы addresses
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 19:33:01; mircea_popescu:
the cannonical rejection of misplaced familiarity being "nu suntem deopotriva" ie, we're not of
the same social level.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller your article ever end up onb
twitter ?
mircea_popescu: the cannonical rejection of misplaced familiarity being "nu suntem deopotriva" ie, we're not of
the same social level.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway in ro it has an entire migrated family : deopotriva (of
the same ilk), impotriva (against) etc
mircea_popescu: the czechs consonants wandered because
they munch
too much cunmt
jurov: czechs
too incidentally
mircea_popescu: is
this a latin influence in russian, is тивник anything ?
mircea_popescu: nuts. romanian has
the word, same meaning, but
the r migrated.
mircea_popescu: sad
that
the anglos have no languages, or linguistics whatsoever.
mircea_popescu: what
the word describes is a purely intellectual situation,
today.
mircea_popescu: pointedly no judgement as
to likeliness or future course of events is made
mircea_popescu: "an undismissable argument may be brought
that
this will be so"
ascii_field: 'sergeant: private! why were you walking
the street wearing
the pants of
the Likely Enemy ?!' ('80s ru army joke)
trinque: I eagerly await
the overturning of
the world, as it has been chewing
the back of my mind a long while.
trinque: obviously I'm not surprised at
that.
mircea_popescu: but anyway : "racism" is exactly
the derp word for sexual preference.
the reason some people don't like other people is purely sexual.
ascii_field: there is literally nothing secret on
this box.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: feel free
to log in & zero
the disk whenever.
mircea_popescu: and we probably won't bother
to answer, and
they'll derp more, in
their children, and so it goes.
mircea_popescu: and we'll kill
them, and
they'll want
to know why, "Que
tes ennemis expirants"
mircea_popescu: obviously if people weren't schmucks we could have nice
things.
ascii_field: and it was where 'bleeding edge'
therealbitcoin lived.
ascii_field: the demise of
this box is unfortunate. i was gonna put an experimental version of www-ized 'v' explorer
there, also
ascii_field: but
this is prolly not worth whatever mircea_popescu is paying for it
mircea_popescu: i didn't boither measuring early, who
the fuck cares, but i would guess it did 10k an hour or some shit
mircea_popescu: different
tools for different jobs as it were.
the corrosive substance of usg-ness makes anyth9ng on
the public net vulnerable, and zerging
the only possible approach
to survival.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu:
the 'checkpoint'
thing is actually useless as implemented now, it merely skips verification for
the listed blocks
mircea_popescu: and have a airgapped system with
the full history etc
that's not exposed
to
the internet.
mircea_popescu: jurov yeah but
the idea being
that you run many nodes with smaller disks for day
to day ops
shinohai: Better
to have room for growth
jurov: even after checkpoints, it's nice
to have for querying
the history
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 11:56:36; asciilifeform: yes, bury it in
the forest for 80 years and perhaps it will leak.
shinohai: K jurov. mats sent me sufficient btc
to purchase a pogo, but I only got an inferior drive with it. Planned on getting something a little more robust
mircea_popescu: ascii_field you know how
the code nos supports "developer mandated" checkpoints ?
BingoBoingo: Interlocking cuts, glue, and clamps are
the way,
the
truth, and
the light in furniture
mircea_popescu: there are some fine examples from chinese era of overabundance when
they used supertiny nails.
mircea_popescu: speaking of "will be obsolete soon" : we need
that aribtrary checkpoint
thing. if provided, node owner could store old chain apart.
jurov: shinohai: i'd recommend
to use 120G version instead, 60G will be obsolete soon
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 11:50:01; kakobrekla: btw iirc
today is
tx spam day ?
shinohai: Thx jurov. On my list of items
to purchase when I actually get a working pogo binary.
ascii_field: perhaps i ought
to have said, 'contains very little glue'
ascii_field: jurov: very spiffy. consider posting what part you used, how
tested, where
to buy...
mircea_popescu: try
telling
that
to as-saffah
tho, "i've lost baghdad once a week"
