mircea_popescu: phf the story of alpha is perhaps one of the best illustrations of the fundamentally anti-intellectual stance and calling of the female state. 1980s true 64 bit architecture, well supported (openvms started there, ffs, go revolutionize shit in 2015 with the remnants of 1980s tech). "sold" to fiorina's company, never heard from again, because gotta prop up intel. ☟︎

Framedragger: phf: i agree with the latter. if nothing else - why not; sure. and sure, a *lot* of busy activity reduces to netflix in one way or another.
mircea_popescu: phf well yes, buyt he gets to define his terms in pursuit of his theory.
mircea_popescu: phf no, it is not failure or waste. it is the necessary basis for independent human intelligence.
mircea_popescu: phf understand the significant costs of p2p syncronization, as just yesterday exemplified in say http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-07#1622837 ; the electricity bitcoin burns is an investment, in social order. just like the pyamids. ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2017-03-08 22:11 phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-08#1623164 << i missed that. i've reached out to zeptobars people and they are obviously interested in doing the scans as long as i provide the chip and they can post it to their site

a111: Logged on 2017-03-08 15:32 phf: besides the area is still primed by the british, bene gesserit style, as sahib you will be sought out, as an articulate and educated one you will be retained.
asciilifeform: at any rate, 'white man' -- as in the folx who inhabited phf's india mansion; conceived of reactors, etc -- is ~dead.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-08 15:02 phf: unless you're an mp, you don't have a choice to tell fuck you to local fauna, and the whole "i can pay whatever" only plays it out well in shitty miami based tv shows

a111: Logged on 2017-03-08 14:41 asciilifeform: which is why asciilifeform will probably not be buying the mansion next to phf's in india..
mircea_popescu: phf i was vaguely considering sending a an infestor. something reasonable, 2/3 bedroom 2 bathroom proper kitchen ac etc. it does get terribly hot does it.

asciilifeform: phf: i had almost identical experience with emigre right here in usa!

mircea_popescu: phf the stripper offwork thing is a toss-up i guess. it depends a lot on the environment or something ; i've known both kinds, ie "girl next door by day champion stripper by night" as well as "stripping is my whole life and my car plates read TITTY"
asciilifeform: phf: only now?!
asciilifeform: phf: subvariant of the 'why does emacs not use ibm's standard keystrokes!!' people.

asciilifeform: phf: paid but no room ? or rat-infested pit ? or which
asciilifeform: as phf's b00k illustrates, the cost of the chronometers remained a serious boojum well into 1900s
ben_vulpes: whoa pretty phf
mircea_popescu: phf it's just cheap.
BingoBoingo: phf: You aren't missing anything. The problem is your brain is working.
mircea_popescu: phf i am not surprised, it's pretty jarring as far as these get.

a111: Logged on 2017-02-21 22:51 asciilifeform: phf's logger swallows without burping
mircea_popescu: and phf was all like "this isn't in the spec" then read the spec etc
ben_vulpes: stack, for the curious: moar tests for v.pl (i'm writing them because my personal heap is too fragmented to make me a useful manual tester), read and compile a large and a small patch from asciilifeform, ops tasks in support of WIRES, gaze into the writhing horror diana_coman needs a lasso around, and somewhere find an hour to finish up the import of phf's logs back to early 2016
ben_vulpes: phf: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/5PqCi/?raw=true
asciilifeform: phf: wires_rev1 shows no sigs..?
asciilifeform: phf: neato!
mircea_popescu: well phf's thing works becsause phf is a smart cookie, but this is just ridiculous.

asciilifeform: phf: interesting -- what, gotta wonder, did crapple mutilate, to result in this
asciilifeform: phf: the wedding trinkets -- are of pure gold?
mircea_popescu: phf yeah. gold was already "A problem" in the soviet meaning of the term in india. with this idiocy, they're making it a fully gold standard place.
mircea_popescu: phf why are you even getting back to dc in the first place ?
asciilifeform: phf: every time you find one of these, i think 'holy shit, it was alive until now?!'
a111: Logged on 2016-07-20 15:43 phf: so i push back on the guy, rme says "let's change subject", within minutes guy goes "it's late here i gotta go to sleep"
mircea_popescu: phf you're exactly right. this current maga-able us economy consisting of "we'll be rich by doing each other's laundry" is not in any sense novel, or invented by the pantsuit mcclinton. in fact, on a frank review of the extant record, the only properly said us-american culture is THIS. in between the quack salesman and the itinerant scammer you find the neoprotestant-innovative firebrand preacher, the systematizing industrial
asciilifeform: !~later tell phf the chronometer b00k is spiffy.
mircea_popescu: phf you gotta start a blog, you know.
mircea_popescu: phf that's btw muslim influence. this is currently the ~only alternative to "blow shit up", the white cow.
mircea_popescu: phf hopefully indian "state" fails within the next few years.
mircea_popescu: phf i have no confidence in "chemical cronometer" crackpot alfism. notice that there has never existed such a thing as a chemical clock, not even today. it is, i daresay, the earliest application of "quantum computer", this.
ben_vulpes: phf: and argentina ca 2015
asciilifeform: but phf is probably right
ben_vulpes: phf: "these are just engineering problems, silly mortal"
asciilifeform: phf: one of the things that always bothered me re chronometer is : why the fuck nobody tried chemical reaction for timekeeping
asciilifeform: phf: iirc kakobrekla actually did this.

mircea_popescu: phf no cutscenes and no cd audio tracks was the standard for my gaming experience. tbh i liked it.
asciilifeform: phf: more or less. sorta like Officially Declassified usgolade.
ben_vulpes: phf: man once i got the simulator all wired up boy howdy was it nice to have unified keybindings for the mobile scutwork
asciilifeform: phf: pretty lulzy, advertises 'Runs well on bare metal embedded MCUs (~10k of flash is required)' but... uses a heap
asciilifeform: phf: set 'verbatim' mode
asciilifeform: phf: rop is the bread, there is also the butter of actually nudging instruction pointer (stack/heap smash, overflows, etc) but sure.
