mircea_popescu: in
the case of avicenna it's not
that bad, and a
ton has been done
to
try and figure out his context.
mircea_popescu: you're model of how
these guys' lives worked is really very bad you know.
mircea_popescu: shinohai but you're
the only one wioth mesa < 10. so
that'd likely be it.
mircea_popescu: shinohai : buncha other people are running eulora with gallium 4.0, incl on llvmpipe.
that wouldn't likely be it.
mircea_popescu: (to understand why it's dumb - imagine your prize for rescuing drowning damsel is
the damsel. what if you don't want damsels, just enjoy swimming ?)
mircea_popescu: it's also a dumb system, for
the record.
tho perhaps less dumb and certainly dumb for different reasons.
mircea_popescu: nah. if "blue blood" i nthe sense of, willing
to put up a fucking banner.
mircea_popescu: something like
that, but really
this looks more like butthurt noob "with connections"
mircea_popescu: sorta like
the situation of a spy, really -
the enemy is willing
to spend millions
to nail him, whereas his own
team has
to be fought for a 10k allocation sort of deal.
mircea_popescu: i'm quite flattered, honestly.
to
think someone hates my shit enough
that he's willing
to spend
to mess with it for part of a day likely more
than what people paid
to read it in its entire history...
mircea_popescu: seriosly, i'd like
to point out
the pattern of it. clearly
the guy is buying
tailings, ie, overflow
traffic/whatever's available
to fit his budget. ends up with what overflows.

trinque: punkman |
trinque: consider
the case where your meat-wot is "businessmen" in Luxor << can probably be milked for some kind of value; if
that's all ya got,
that's all ya got. better
than nothing
mircea_popescu: and because who at
the
time is going
to be your ossasepia.
assbot: Logged on 16-10-2014 00:01:42; asciilifeform: consider ancient scholars like
the persian Razi.
mircea_popescu: and yes, sure
there were folks who made a reputation.
then as now.
mircea_popescu: gernika also all usians dipped
their cock in pussy juice in college. afaik not done anymore.

TheNewDeal: I'm
thinking of adding perhaps 2 days equivalent
timeweight. Say weight it 21000,
two days ago weight was 23600. I would accept your amount, and pay out on
the
timeweight
two days prior, 23600.
Terms negotiable
mircea_popescu: fucking country was full
to
the brim of bad pink collar places like
that badly run by inept cocklets who had somehow imagined
they run
themselves.
mircea_popescu: romanian fucktarded kids did
this
to death. went
to work abroad - sucked septuagenarian cock on cruise ships, manned boats off alaska, whatever, came back with a 20-50-70k and
then... OPENED A RESTAURANT
☟︎ mircea_popescu: gernika is it a patently retarded idea
to buy "restaurant". a restaurant is not a box of candies. if you haven't spent a decade working in one, you have no business OWNING one.
BingoBoingo: gernika: Not enough jobs
to hire
them all for it
gernika: mircea_popescu I
thought all usians dipped fries in
the frier as
teens or college students at least. Do
the younger ones not go
through
that anymore?
mircea_popescu: also - programmer is not a craftsman. "programmer" is
the boy equivalent of
the "artsy" chick. one does stupid shit and "sells it" on etsy,
the other does stupid shit and "sells it" on github
mircea_popescu: the only work
they're capable of is reddit shitslinging, and
there's a
ton of dudes doin
that cheaper and better already. easily 100x what's needed anyway.
mircea_popescu: decimation
they';re not capable of it.
there's
this very insistently nursed delusion among white useless usians
that somehow some
types of work are "below"
them in
the sense
that OF COURSE
they could do it. not so. alf has it : fuck you for "being able
to" put
the fries in
the frier once. do it every day forever.
assbot: Logged on 04-05-2015 18:55:44; ascii_field: not even chumps, as such - many of
these folks (i usedto work with'em) are laughing all
the way
to
the bank, riding
the
thermodynamic waterfall between usd salary and cn cost of living
mircea_popescu: actually i would guess currently
the earned income
this way is about 12-15kish a year.
mircea_popescu: talk
to someone who's ever done any
time.
there's a
ton of mexicans doing
time in us prisons
to make money for
their family bacvk home.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ftr, everyone worth
talking
to is in point of fact +ev in prisno.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> also ok
to use live lusers << Pull request
to Bitcoin Core GitRub?
mircea_popescu: incidentally, it's quite obvious
that
the b-a conversations consist of both spoken and silent dialogue
☟︎ decimation: and furthermore
their brand new 'air
traffic management' computer is vulnerable
to resource starvation
decimation: thus setting up
the ironic situation where one side of usg wants
to clamp down on 100 foot drone-flying while f16s blaze around where
they please
decimation: us mil operates 'outside civilian system' on us soil
to some degree
decimation: asciilifeform: actually it's a good point (the u2) - you see
the results with
that f16 vs cessna crash
decimation: "Reuters reports
that a controller would have entered
the usual altitude for a U-2 plane – about 60,000 feet – forcing
the system
to consider all altitudes between ground level and infinity and generating a conflict which caused
the system
to begin cycling
through restarts."
decimation: ... memory and interrupted
the computer’s other flight-processing functions."

decimation: I recall
the working s/360 as being very ... large
decimation: the most impressive
thing was
the wall of lead-acid batteries - meant
to run
the
thing for 10 minutes while
the generators kicked-on
decimation: I would bet $20
that
they aren't gonna use a 'triplex' computer
to replace it
decimation: no wonder it
took
them 40 years
to 'replace' it
decimation: asciilifeform: but
the point I was making with
the s/360 is
that apparently
the one
the FAA used for ARTCC was a 'triplex' computer with full voting!
gernika: decimation You're right I see
the
tie-in.
decimation: gernika:
that's kinda
the point of
the earlier converation. as long as you count your wealth in usd, you are owned by usg and are wealthy at
their pleasure
