mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i ~suspect~ without having done
the math
that
the doped nature of
the si crystal makes
the picture
too noisy
to be usable.
a111: Logged on 2014-07-27 21:29 asciilifeform: if i recall, last words were 'enemy is at
the gates.
they've opened fire, oh shi....'
mircea_popescu: the moron
that "accidentally got shot" during
the bitcoin-somethingawful "debates" of yore was playing eve up
to
the very moment of
taking one up
the ass.
mircea_popescu: if you're willing
to feed and clothe and billet
them
to play video games all day and
totally not
take
their smartphone
to red zone,
they'll do it. you can call
them astronauts or soldiers or whatever you want (as long as it's not stupid fucking cunts or anything like
that).
mircea_popescu: their real value hasn't come up yet!
they can't fucking die!
mircea_popescu: die nothing.
they'll sit in ac containers and "train" or w/e blather.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: PnoHes killed
the farm boys
mircea_popescu: back in vietnam,
they had a fucking DRAFT (and still lost)
mircea_popescu: if korea decided
to invade, and somehow managed
to land, korea would just jail
the president & congress and
that's all.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
there's no such
thing left. i know it's difficult
to conceptualize, but it's nevertheless
true.
there is no such
thing as an us army.
a111: Logged on 2019-02-13 01:27 asciilifeform: it's funny , when asciilifeform went
to 'museum of communism' in
timis, pawed
through buncha ancient lulzlit
there, and photo'd 'a la minox'
to read
through laters and chew on
the 'limba de lemn'
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Not enough age out cannon fodder left.
They are filling up
the USG
tech jobs with
their clearances.
BingoBoingo: Well
they do ask more of of some demographics compared
to others in
the name of equalitit
mircea_popescu: potheads "policing" potheads shall be a comedy goldmine of lulz and
tears in
the not so distant future.
mircea_popescu: "Durkan proposed
the incentive program last month, saying Seattle needs
to jump into
the nationwide competition for experienced police officers. Her plan came at a
time when historically low unemployment and retirements of baby boomer officers, combined with high housing costs and a negative image of policing nationwide, are said
to be driving competition for recruits regionally and nationally."
BingoBoingo: Everyone in
the US I've met
that worked a "public contact/customer service" position has
the same epiphany. None of
them
think humanity is bad or democracy unworkable,
they fatlogic
that everyone else is exactly as same age/gender/human as
they are.
mircea_popescu: the deeply "big zone bipedals ain't more human
than any other cattle" feel of
the pice is indicative. not of "police brutality",
tho.
BingoBoingo: The police here are so much more pleasant
than back home. Even in small
town USA(TM)(R) new recruit cops would stop me during late night/early morning walks
to ask what I was doing. Here if
the police even care
to address me, nothing more needs
to be said
than
the
traditional exchange of "todo bien?
todo bien."
a111: Logged on 2015-03-26 20:43 asciilifeform: one
to break doors, gates; one
to
threaten bystanders, if any, with 'accidental' fire; one
to shoot; and perhaps one with a cage
that arrestee -might- be permitted
to surrender into, if
the bot's voice-recognition system works and if orders included a possible live capture
mircea_popescu: i actually expect
this will be a
thing, did you see
the very good walking robots
they have now ?
mircea_popescu: only way
to get ac in body armor is
to go full hydraulic walking suit.
mircea_popescu: the cable of
that earbud doing
that rounded corners
thing ?
totally.
mircea_popescu: notice if you would
the very star wars - esque look of
the imagological artefact associated.
mircea_popescu: and yes, back when mp was 12,
that
thing was
the coolest of pubescent sex paraphenalia. YOU COULD OFFER A GIRL
THE OTHER EARBUD!!11
mircea_popescu: which is my point here : ipod is not a
thing
to be, much like "american cuisine" is not a
thing
to be.
mircea_popescu: ipod was a
thing like ipad was a
thing, or like groupon was a
thing : no sort of
thing
mircea_popescu: "Tucker mentioned possible Oscar nomination for
the script, more
than $200M at
the box office and revolutionizing Hollywood." sorta
thing.
mircea_popescu: because it never fucking did. it was
temporarily "a
thing", in
the sense of, hyped up ~name~ for a category, about as inconsequential as whatever other name.
mircea_popescu: "o holy shit,
THIS is why ipod no longer exists -- it never fucking did."
mircea_popescu: mp was very confused.
then mp was de-confused, by seller in stall in mall : here,
this
tiny little
thing, it's an mp3 player.
mircea_popescu: speaking of a minor point above : mp
tried
to find slut an ipod, so she can listen
to music while woprking out. mp discovered ~ipod item no longer exists~, not at used electronic shops, NOT AT POND SHOPS.
mircea_popescu: ie, yes stillborn from birth, from an engineering pov. but
these can and actually are fixed, if
there's ideological substance.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it was, from a
technologically perspective, about on par with
the canvas-wing biplane.
mircea_popescu: much like
the much earlier version libertard's notion of "god" or
the classical libertard's notion of "freedom"
mircea_popescu: the whole wikileaks debacle demonstrated however not just
that
the web is not a
thing, but rather
that
the libertard concept of "civil society" is actually ~a myth~ rather
than an object
mircea_popescu: obviously wikipedia did not live up
to any of
those promises. but
then again,
the airplane, or
the radio also did not live up
to
the hallucinant "promises" as perceived by early "idea men" "working" on
the
topics.
mircea_popescu: at its origin, it was envisaged as
this cvasi-magical "perfect systematic solution
to a large set of previously ununderstood problems". part and parcel of
this,
the (in retrospect) ridiculous blather of
the wikitard as
to
the "human knowledge" and other
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-17#1850928 slash huxleyan nonsense, "transhumanism" blablabla.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: ftr, cuz
this is interesting from a cultural history perspective :
the "web", as an item in
the socio-conceptual space, died ~with assange~, and not with wikipedia.
mircea_popescu: not
that i don't admire efforts of people
trying
to make better web proxies ; but i
think
those efforts are slightly misdirected and grossly premature.
a111: Logged on 2019-03-01 17:09 asciilifeform: as i understand various folx use gnarly custom apache ( iirc mircea_popescu definitely ) and so it'll have
to be massaged also

http://www.musl-libc.org | Ask questions;
treat others with respect; stop off-topic discussions for musl questions; do not publish logs; no sexism, homophobia, or other forms of asshattery.'
diana_coman: it cites
the
title + a few words from
the page linked
diana_coman: quite a bunch of issues on
the arm it seems, yes
diana_coman: re sjlj and zcx and apache -
the current RK use would be
the only iffy current situation re banning zcx
diana_coman: in good news, it seems
that
the static-only ave1-gnat builds itself fine (with
the
tarballs ofc so ultimately still relying on
the corpse but at least
that's frozen and
the whole
thing is NOT relying anymore on a deployed adacore)
a111: Logged on 2019-03-01 15:18 spyked: but after about
three semi-automated passes
through
the
texts, I'm fairly confident I got most of
the crap out
a111: Logged on 2019-03-01 15:09 spyked: re
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-17#1897638 , specifically glibc is gonna go from my machines once I encuntooate
them. it's not yet clear
to me how
this will impact e.g. apache, which calls dlopen for its loadable modules
thing. google didn't
turn out anything on
the subj either.
a111: Logged on 2019-03-01 09:03 phf:
this really has been a low priority item until i moved
to russia, but now i'm stuck in secular hell, so
this whole subject elicits only anger and i'd rather something good actually came out of it.
a111: Logged on 2019-03-01 05:44 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform can you believe you've lived
to be doing
the xraying
to
the bolix ?

☟︎ a111: Logged on 2019-02-26 23:21 asciilifeform: !Q later
tell spyked
that gutenberg
tarball -- didja get a chance
to auto-kill all of
the header liquishit ? i'd prefer
to mirror a flensed copy,
the 50kB of 'this
text copyright wikitards(tm)(r)' is eyesore
spyked: update re
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-26#1899440 : it's almost done, I'll document it and post
the new archive sometime next week. long story short:
the headers/footers are non-standard, so it's
taken me a while
to find
the proper grep recipes.
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2019-02-17 15:50 mircea_popescu: some
time
to look at
things and consider matters will be needed ; but i specifically want
