asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: reading'em is pretty fast, in asciilifeform's experience, if you have the 'working set' loaded into brain
mircea_popescu: it does seem though that the "article is ~500 words" thing that stood true for a decade or so meanwhile morphed into an "article is ~2k words" thing. i hope it stops, this process, before expanding past the point where not even i can be bothered to read one.
deedbot: diana_coman updated rating of spyked from 2 to 3 << met irl; writes at http://thetarpit.org/
mircea_popescu: somehow february counted as two months for the blog, nfi.
diana_coman kept up with the logs but not with trilema.com
diana_coman: thanks! it's good to be back
asciilifeform: ( funnily enuff, not ram -- they lost ram market to samsung and it aint coming back )
asciilifeform: iirc crapple's latest lappy is same thing, with added periphs
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform a ok, that actually looks exactly like soviet take of above.
mircea_popescu: make a computer look like an aluminum can, one spikey end with the cpu and radiator, one flat end to sit it on.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it ~is~, in their bleeding-edge luser pc product. just not anyffing you'd buy. e.g. https://archive.is/Kqh7F
mircea_popescu: i honestly don't understand why latest pc even has pcb in at all. all the shit could be on-die anyway.
asciilifeform: why would they cannibalize their x86 idjicy ?
mircea_popescu: why don't they, technological incapacity ?
mircea_popescu: this is true ; yet you'd expect intel started making the boards with the chips.
asciilifeform: cuz impedance-tolerance is tight.
asciilifeform: ftr there is a (theoretical) 'innocent' explanation for 'nuffin socketed' -- at current-day freqs, sockets actually cost comparably with the chip
BingoBoingo: Forgot to spec socketed RAM. I haven't even seen socketed chip teases
BingoBoingo: The Chicoms keep teasing socketed ARM, and then...
asciilifeform: so far i only found that 1 chinese box, costing its weight in silver, etc. but this does not disprove mircea_popescu's hypothesis.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform possibly tenuously, hence the lulz.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> check out what changed in 4 years alfie, back in 2015 we had to ~go there~. now they sit around reading the log on their own dime, to "preemptively" etc. << very true
feedbot: http://trilema.com/2019/well-since-i-started-might-as-well/ << Trilema -- Well, since I started, might as well...
asciilifeform: near as i can tell, reich 'soft banned' arm mobos with socketed rams
a111: Logged on 2019-02-16 01:13 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not even 'tb', but go an' try to find on market arm box of ~any~ description that eats ordinary socketed dimms
asciilifeform still curious how they maintain the http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-16#1897140 lulzstatusquo ☝︎
asciilifeform doesn't even ~like~ arm much, but it remains the case that it's the 1 green leaf in the garbage disposal of non-x86 atm
mircea_popescu: whatever. there's better shows in town, anyway.
mircea_popescu: check out what changed in 4 years alfie, back in 2015 we had to ~go there~. now they sit around reading the log on their own dime, to "preemptively" etc.
asciilifeform: pretty fast turnaround, gotta say
mircea_popescu: aww. is this http://trilema.com/2015/on-how-the-factored-4096-rsa-keys-story-was-handled-and-what-it-means-to-you/ all over again ?
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in 'the new linus torvalds' lulz: https://archive.is/C6AFq >> 'The price advantage of ARM will never be there for ARM servers unless you get enough volume to make up for the absolutely huge advantage in server volume that Intel has right now ... no real advantage to ARM ... basic economics ... this is why the PC took over, and why everything else died ... you're going to be a tiny minority ... x86 won'
mircea_popescu: ally rotten in most applications you're likely to encounter. as it stands, between the "mechanical birdwing" that never could possibly take off and the early aeroplane that generally crashes and burns, you're stuck picking the latter.
mircea_popescu: "analytical philosophy", as the currently preferred endonym for "typical anglo provincialism", ie the attempt at naive extension of "common sense" and broadly dysfunctional medieval solipsisms is methodologically sound, but unfortunately fundamentally rotten, and in the most laughable ways at that. "postmodernism", as the anglotard xenonym for, mostly, post-structuralism, is fundamentally sound, but unfortunately methodologic
BingoBoingo: Congrats on the good news lobbes
lobbes: However, I'm pleased to say I now have a bootable (and, this time, login-able!) cuntoo on my usb stick. I'll aim to get a post with all the details out this week
lobbes: solution being to simply disable CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION by setting it to blank, i.e "CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION =". This was a newer kernel config I was using this time around; I checked and this config option was not even mentioned in my older config
a111: Logged on 2019-02-23 19:16 lobbes: Luckily, this time around I have a 40MB screenlog to parse through. Will return once I have a more substantive understanding of where exactly the failure points are when trying to build my kernel config
lobbes: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-23#1898992 << so I figured it out my kernel issues. It seems to have been caused by a known bug >> http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1508.1/02478.html ☝︎
BingoBoingo: This is true
mircea_popescu: the weakest computer geek of 1989 is still a gravel chewing, piss&vinegar machine compared to the toughest "hoodlum" of 2019.
mircea_popescu: even those. dorks have aspirations, they don't intend to waste their only shot at life. it's gotta be used well, they aim to die doing what they themselves deem worthy, etcetera.
BingoBoingo: Well, the state prisons likely still got the bucks from the hood. But... club fed...
mircea_popescu: guards go home with accidental cum in their hair daily.
mircea_popescu: i mean this literally, btw. all everyone ever does in us small camp is jack it.
mircea_popescu: remember back when jail used to be this SCARY place ?!
BingoBoingo: JessicaShadow 24F Switch << Indecisive soon to be late 20 something can't appreciate she's a loser while hanbot is a very cool weapon of mass destruction
mircea_popescu: kinda how this works, all the self-loathing weirdos end up in "jail".
BingoBoingo: That they don't actually have and can't have any franchise is obvious.
mircea_popescu: I can see that you are not a very good Dom/Master. You are abusive and hide behind that title as an excuse. You are not attractive, you have a terrible personality, and you don't deserve subs. I hope they can work up the courage to leave your abusive ass."
mircea_popescu: meanwhile at mini-usg, "LordMPofTMSR Think of it as an intelligence test. That you're failing." JessicaShadow 24F Switch "That of itself is hilarious, considering I know exactly how smart I am, and how high my IQ is.
BingoBoingo: Just... how much these papers suck. Why would anyone who isn't a self hating pervert sign any agreement structured this way?
mircea_popescu: how does one distinguish the usg from this fat ugly but stupid older woman strutting about as if she's gonna decide how the money's spent ?
mircea_popescu: the lulzy "you're paying for our incarceration circus" thing is ever spreading, i see.
BingoBoingo: ^ Trust moar USG.BASE

mircea_popescu: i don't understand how the rfuck it stands.
asciilifeform: aha. iirc they had to replace the orig hollow titanium sword with solid steel one, old one bent
mircea_popescu: problem with modern monumental construction, fucking impossible to be elegant in concrete, it's the definitive substance of "american gothic", two square tubs and stolid flowers behind or somesuch is all it does.
mircea_popescu: it's actually quite elegant, unbalanced like that.
asciilifeform: ( where afaik there aint much in the way of statues left )
mircea_popescu: i recall some lulz about cutting the sword because taller than whatever lavra
mircea_popescu: was this in kiev ?
asciilifeform: ( putin -- decreed that it is to be fixed, we'll see how that goes )
asciilifeform: quite symbolically of fall of su, incidentally, word is that the thing's become a 'leaning tower' and likely to splat soon.
asciilifeform: under it , marshall chuikov & other folx who helped to fill the hill with dead jerries, buried.
asciilifeform: sword per se big enuff to sway in the wind.
asciilifeform: ^ in bg, the chix with sword, 85 metres, biggest colossus in world when built (60s)
feedbot: http://trilema.com/2019/word-by-fucking-word-you-understand-me/ << Trilema -- Word by fucking word, you understand me ?
BingoBoingo: Nah, the other orcs are finding too much hoarded palm grease to trade it for fresh.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: 8 new charges tomorrow on Herr Christina https://www.telam.com.ar/notas/201902/335523-cristina-kirchner-sera-indagada-manana-en-ocho-causas.html
a111: Logged on 2015-03-19 20:50 mircea_popescu: i doubt anyone seriously believes she moves into anything but a jail cell once term ends.
mircea_popescu: now, considering both severity and curative expense, this is large.
asciilifeform: it's not clear to me that the congenital defects are fixable ( hence the various 'trbi' threads etc )
mircea_popescu: i don't mean "every third".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's large in the clinical sense, it's possibly the ~best prospect surgery~ known, other than apendectomy.
a111: Logged on 2018-06-12 19:19 asciilifeform: matters technical and political are not in reality separable.
asciilifeform: rright. but must observe, that folx who dun grasp http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-12#1823933 , ~will~ build a gnu. regardless of what they're nominally attempting to build. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the point isn't the tool, the point is that you don't have to build a fucking gnu.
asciilifeform: even nao imho thing is a mockery of the orig. 'p2p' premise
mircea_popescu: five thousand generals and a shortage of generalling you couldn't believe, it's like the island with >9k fishermen which last saw a fish painted on a tuna can.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so ? no shortage of names in the lengthy annals of anglocomputing.
mircea_popescu: which is the whole "movement"'s http://www.loper-os.org/?p=165#selection-311.0-316.0 moment : no cypherphunks, no "free/open source", no "computer science", no "community", NOBODY has the excuse that "oh it couldn't have been made to work" anymore.
asciilifeform: i'm not even convinced that bitcoin would still work if not for the coupla times mircea_popescu applied the defibrillator
asciilifeform: the pov where 'esr quisling, and if not for him, linux would work' is imho simplistic -- there were 9000 quislings, and maybe dozen frustrated honest folx . what could that possibly have added up to.
a111: Logged on 2019-02-23 19:03 mircea_popescu: "Poking at making an open source version of the Cisco toolchain again, from publicly available sources. (No, Cisco isn't paying me to do this, most of those engineers are off for the holidays and not even answering their work email. I'm doing it because I'm disgusted with the FSF and would love to undermine Mepis II any way I can.)" << nuts.
asciilifeform: even without any poetterings -- the gnutards just about make republican spain look like unified front in comparison ( e.g. what to make of http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-23#1898976 ?! ) ☝︎
asciilifeform: d00d drank the 'inclusivity' rotgut, and ended up 'including' poettering + 9000 lesser poetterings et al
mircea_popescu: "Life's hard and the path obscure, but you'll figure it all out..."
a111: Logged on 2019-02-20 17:36 asciilifeform: funnily enuff asciilifeform was just recently describing to pet , how mircea_popescu's pesticide worx, and finally clicked when i 'recall cell culture ? when yer growing eukaryotes, you add antibiotic, or guess what dish will be full of next day'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: fella & his worx certainly excellent demonstration of 'what happens to 'technically competent' without http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-20#1898175 ' imho ☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i found it interesting also, the various linux breakages he describes, i walked through in real time ( 'suspend mode dunwork on any lappy, who do i have to kill' etc 2007-present )
mircea_popescu: it's always a fascinating question, this, "srsly, you lot ended up making the bolshevik party ?!?!?!"
mircea_popescu: that particular dood was (mildly) interesting to me because he was one of the technically apt people who ended up making ubuntu.
asciilifeform: sorta why i ended up turning the squelch knob slightly down, and nao one can see rubbish grain photos etc. on asciilifeform's www.
asciilifeform: certainly troo in the general case.
mircea_popescu: "i'm not putting another shit on trilema, there's one there and i can't discern how a 2nd woul add anything". nevertheless -- the nut's uncrackable, you literally do not know in 2015 what you will like to read of 2015 in 2019.
a111: Logged on 2019-02-23 18:33 asciilifeform: 'My sound cancelling headphone make excellent earmuffs while walking to The Donald's ' << this has gotta be a joak
asciilifeform: e.g. that poor bastard mircea_popescu dug up, with the http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-23#1898935 , he has some obv. relevant 'death of open sores' history in there, but i can only stomach maybe 15min at a time of reading his chronicle ☝︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform certainly works in the negative.
