mircea_popescu: ascii_field you will notice, if inclined
to notice,
the distress manifest in
the reduction of funding.
mircea_popescu: but hey. until
that day, every wooden cutout's a soldier.
mircea_popescu: both
these got a little crashed, and yes i'm going
to bleed
the living life out of
the entire set of derp shartups, and yes it can say until it falls over.
mircea_popescu: lawl. actually hanbot & shinohai
the stuff's quite well related. sv knows how
to do one
thing,
the whole "make a market out of a
trillion shitheads and sell
them sheep olives for quarter pennies". and usg lives in
this delusional alt-reality where it is enough for it
to say, and
things happen.
ascii_field: kakobrekla: she and her fuckbuddy oversee a university lab where slave labour (grad students) work (or pretend
to) on 'ethereum'
shinohai: I
think I'll sign up for
that. My innovative new currency is "mined" by wiping 1 square of
tissue across my ballsack for 30 seconds.
shinohai: How did
they manage
to get $2 mil in funding ?
assbot: REMINDER:
the block gas limit is currently 5000, so it is not possible
to send
transactions. We will release an update in a couple days
to cause miners
to "vote"
the gas limit upwards at which point
the full blockchain functionality will be de-facto enabled. : ethereum ... (
http://bit.ly/1DT9ZJ5 )
shinohai: "We just launched and are all excited, but one caveat.
Transactions don't work."
ascii_field: (if i can access
the nic at all from
the machine end)
ascii_field: i can ask, e.g., a nic,
to read or write arbitrary word in ram
ascii_field: descriptor, making it impossible for
them
to write
to addresses outside
the buffer.'
ascii_field: 'In monolithic operating systems, a driver can write
to any word of memory and
thus accidentally
trash user programs. In MINIX 3, when a user expects data from, for example,
the file system, it builds a descriptor
telling who has access and at what addresses. It
then passes an index
to
this descriptor
to
the file system, which may pass it
to a driver.
The file system or driver
then asks
the kernel
to write via
the
ascii_field: and authors find it necessary
to lie, e.g.,
trinque: heh I've read some of
that stuff
shinohai gift wraps a copy of LeVay's Satanic Bible, sends it
to
trinque
ascii_field: 'i prefer
that
the planet exert a gravitational pull. look what happens otherwise'
trinque: ;;later
tell pete_dushenski let me go ahead and eat my words re: desert gods now
mircea_popescu: well... honestly, if one
takes
the stand
that mcd is not really food,
that same one'd be hard pressed
to count neoprotestant lols as religion.
shinohai: I honestly have no issues with
those
that do choose
to practice religion, just respect
the fact
that some don't.
mircea_popescu: amusingly, so was england, at about
the same
time. diff flavour.
mircea_popescu: shinohai ironically,
the us was founded on sectarian neoprotestantism alright.
shinohai: Same in America, blabbering about how
this nation was specifically founded on Christian principles, without ever bothering
to read
the
treaty of
Tripoli.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu ought
to contact his supplier and have a stern
talk re: getting a higher grade of muppet shipped in
mircea_popescu: might as well say "any kid
today knows nkr is <<a country>>".
mircea_popescu: ask any muppet
today, he
thinks europe is christian and christian values fundamentally european.
ascii_field: aha, even f-students know
that
they were once empires.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: except
that italy and spain did not get history-edited
ascii_field: but yes,
they are in 'hitler's bunker' mode
ascii_field: or
that north was an industrial giant, heavy on
the machinery market, until blockaded by usa and its muppets ?
ascii_field: how many people know, for instance,
that south started
the kr war ?
trinque: and
that's probably
the opinion
that matters most
ascii_field: trinque: virtually everything printed in english re: north kr is a bold-faced lie out of
the mouth of south kr
☟︎ trinque: the language is always "prepared"
to fight
trinque: strikes me as nothing more
than internal politics
ascii_field: anyway
this is poppycock, north kr is controlled with rice, not nukes
mircea_popescu: offer
them what iran got, what cuba got,
they'll
take it.
ascii_field: roughly: 'let us remind, yesterday, pravda.ru yesterday described
the speech of
the ambassador of north kr, kim hen jeon, who pronounced
that his country will not follow
the example of iran and go into
talks with
the west re: nuclear disarmament. instead, pyongyang will actively prepare for a nuclear
tension, given
the fact
that usa is increasing its involvement with
training of
the south kr army.'
shinohai: Between him and
the Iranian female ninjas, I am starting
to quake in my shoes.
mircea_popescu: is it a bad
thing
that i find him more amusing
than
the run of
the mill usg "comedian" ?
mircea_popescu: "Gone forever is
the era when
the United States blackmailed us with nukes; now
the United States is no longer a source of
threat and fear for us and we are
the very source of fear for it."
mircea_popescu: Kim said
the contest was intended
to "bring about a radical
turn in
the drills
to round off preparations for a war full of
the will
to settle with arms accounts with
the U.S. imperialists,
the chieftain of aggression, and
the South Korean puppet group keen
to escalate
the confrontation with
the fellow countrymen and
that of social systems, seized with sycophancy
toward
the U.S.,"
shinohai: 102 F ... damn it's hot.
Time
to blend up some margaritas or something.
shinohai: Well if
the vag is internal, and
the barcode is on
top of
that,
technically it *is* above.
mircea_popescu: (btw,
the vagina is
the internal part.
that's a vulva)
shinohai: The barcode above
the woman's vag
shinohai: I imagine mine are still sitting around waiting for
the world
to end, and
trying
to force-feed as much of
that nonsense
to others as possible.
trinque: I have a great relationship with
them;
they spend all day
trying
to not suck, and good for
them
shinohai: I moved away and never looked back. Haven't spoken
to anyone in my family in almost 20 years.
trinque: they at least knew
the whole world was filled with shit, just weren't sure what kind
trinque: haha, I don't
torture
the poor folks anymore, keep my heathen ways
to myself
mircea_popescu: so did you give
them madonna's "sex" for
their 15th aniversary ?
trinque: hilarity of it is I
think
the guy's a born again himself
shinohai: Books
too,
they had a hard-on for Umberto Eco for some reason, and I could never keep a copy of Foucault's Pendulum
☟︎ funkenstein_: mircea_popescu, good question. i spent a lot of
time with
the fluid mechanics volume back in
the day.
trinque: shinohai: heh! I got busted for
tom petty once, of all
things.
told my mom "you could stand me up at
the gates of hell, but I wont back down"
mircea_popescu: <funkenstein_>
though I can't claim
to have gone
through all of
them in great detail << o.O so
then what have you done ?
trinque: shinohai: old metal does me just fine
too, gotta know
the greats
mircea_popescu: ascii_field just
the fact
that it was probably determinable with great certainty at age 7 or so
that i wouldn't grow up
to be mircea_popescu << you
think anyone actually wants more of me around ?
shinohai: And I love Mors Principum Est, I'm OG and like Slayer
tho
mircea_popescu: * danielpbarron
too << maybe solution
then is ask 7 yo kid if
they should be killed and do
the opposite.
☟︎ shinohai: Considering
they believe
the world is going
to end and
there is no need for any sort of secular education, it is a wonder I can read at all.
mircea_popescu: jurov just because you posit
there's going
to be retrospection needed doesn't mean it's either necessarily so or what i said, you know.
trinque: I suspect
that's why
the satan schtick amuses me so
shinohai: trinque: I do regularly mumble prayers in public
to Satan, when fundamentalists ruin my meal by
trying
to pray loudly over
their food for 30 minutes.
☟︎ kakobrekla: i can hardly understand what
the guy is
trying
to sing
to me.
funkenstein_: plenty of aether
to go around, i
think we just don't know how
to use it yet
ascii_field: the subject of why every bag of meat on
this sorry rock can't have own radio station,
to any useful degree, 'will not fit in
the margins of
this page' unfortunately.
