asciilifeform: (yet another reason to run on a double-converter 'ups' or at least an isolator transformer!) ☟︎
assbot: Logged on 20-06-2015 11:45:17; mircea_popescu: punkman antenna has to be very close and the reason they use it on laptops is that it doesn't actually work on metallic chassis desktops.
assbot: Logged on 20-06-2015 15:19:52; mircea_popescu: the us is no longer governable. they can do all usual the song and dance about how "crazy" etc the guy was,
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-06-2015#1169637 << 'not governable' is when the tax receipts dry up, and the cities burn. not when schmuck #xxxxxx fires a few pot shots at cop and dies same day ☝︎
thestringpuller: i'm real tired of your shit gavin andressen
pete_dushenski: and it's too beautiful to not be outside right now so ima be gone with the wind !
pete_dushenski: last two quotes from http://www.jameslafond.com/article.php?id=2540
pete_dushenski: if there is a lizard hitler, he's struggling for air beneath his 1000kg cloak of redditardation
pete_dushenski: a buncha unmotivated, uneducated, unincentivised, uncivilised deskjockeys make up the most 'powerful' arms of the firstbestlargestfastest state in the world
pete_dushenski: "I understood that a career spent in a careerist organization has the effect of undermining character and training/selecting for poor moral courage, and that nobody in the US military with the rank and position to plan and launch a coup had the courage to do so successfully."
pete_dushenski: "The French generals were a lot tougher and better educated than almost anyone in US uniform today. They'd started off doing Jedburgh team jumps into occupied France in WW2, went on through the meat grinder of Indonesia (many through Dien Bien Phu) and Algeria. In the meantime, they'd gotten real educations, not degrees in Business Management from West Dickhole State like your typical US officer."
pete_dushenski: i still keep reading him. but he really ought to show up here. i'll have to invite him around one of these days.
pete_dushenski: i left him a comment trying to wipe the shit from his eyes but i dun think it was particularly effective
pete_dushenski: talking about how "we need to coordinate to protect from sjws"
pete_dushenski: been following that spandrell character that decimation put the chan onto a few weeks back and i have to say that i enjoy and appreciate his historical research and perspective, but it's a shame how badly the kid still cowers in fear of his own shadow ☟︎

pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-06-2015#1169607 << haha. any other gems to share with the class ? ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 20-06-2015 11:52:26; mircea_popescu: There are still attacks that can be mounted from large distances. Laptop-chassis potential, measured from the far end of virtually any shielded cable connected to the laptop" << tells you all you actually wanted to know.
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-06-2015#1169575 << that laptops are only marginally more sane and secure than smartfones, and that proper computing is desktop computing. ☝︎☟︎
pete_dushenski: "Using fossil records and extinction counts from a range of records" << not the most complete picture, this. sorta hard to draw conclusions on how many cheeses there are in the world based on the ones at your local grocery store
mircea_popescu: the minds are scarcely the problem. which is part of why i credit so little the entire "iq" verbiage. if iq were the determining factor in anything we'd be living on the moon already.
mircea_popescu: "Unfortunately at the time of writing I am in a great hurry and some of my best thoughts, actually many of them have been to be left out and lost forever. But I believe enough great White minds are out there already."
mircea_popescu: and ten thousand, and a hundred thousand.
mircea_popescu: if the old whore has enough in her to take it.
mircea_popescu: there's going to be weeks with a thousand shootings,
danielpbarron: i guess there were two shootings recently; the church one is all over the news and apparently the police station guy isn't
mircea_popescu: but there's no stopping the flood of them.
danielpbarron: this isn't the police station guy
mircea_popescu: the us is no longer governable. they can do all usual the song and dance about how "crazy" etc the guy was, ☟︎
assbot: The SOPS, or what might you expect from government clerks on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1K2Phfq )
mircea_popescu: chomsky warned it will, there's http://trilema.com/2013/the-sops-or-what-might-you-expect-from-government-clerks/#selection-349.0-349.11
mircea_popescu: "I will say this though, I myself would have rather lived in 1940's American than Nazi Germany, and no this is not ignorance speaking, it is just my opinion." << holy shit, by the time a guy with serious respect for opinions as a mental construct and a preference for historical us over nazi germany goes shooting up the police station you know the sops problem hath come full circle.
mircea_popescu: why the fuck ?
mircea_popescu: "I think that if we could somehow destroy the jewish identity, then they wouldnt cause much of a problem." bwahaha dude...
mircea_popescu: logical identity, or for that matter identity in nature.
mircea_popescu: "A horse and a donkey can breed and make a mule, but they are still two completely different animals. Just because we can breed with the other races doesnt make us the same. " << this is actually a flawed argument on multiple levels. first off, the mule is sterile. second off, the ability to conceive is a very good measure of species proximity. thirdly, there's no proposition of "identity", there's no such thing as bio
mircea_popescu: anyway, as a present day slave owner that thing makes for a pretty amusing read.
mircea_popescu: The event that truly awakened me was the Trayvon Martin case. I kept hearing and seeing his name, and eventually I decided to look him up. I read the Wikipedia article and right away I was unable to understand what the big deal was. It was obvious that Zimmerman was in the right. But more importantly this prompted me to type in the words �black on White crime� into Google, and I have never been the same since that
danielpbarron: > I dont pretend to understand why jews do what they do. They are enigma.
danielpbarron: > Yet when we learn about anything important done by a black person in history, it is always pointed out repeatedly that they were black. For example when we learn about how George Washington carver was the first bobbaer smart enough to open a peanut.
danielpbarron: http://lastrhodesian.com/data/documents/rtf88.txt << allegedly by the church shooting guy
mircea_popescu: so im binge-reading trilema and shit i love myself. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: "Nevertheless, if at issue is to find out if FartFarer was the DukeDickwalker's father or uncle one can always trust the wikidorks got it right."
assbot: The definitive tract on sociopathy on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1fnGysY )
mircea_popescu: i have no fucking clue how greenspun keeps from going on a shooting rampage, living with these idiots. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: that everyoner's equal"
mircea_popescu: some other schmuck by the name of "jim" explains that he would really really want everyone to beliueve that hte children of special people are not in fact special by this fact, but merely indistinct mass, because everything's equal, and moreover that kids who didn't go through the everything's equal idiocizer "lack the ability to empathize with their peers", which is codetalk for "do not credit the idiotic propositiopn ☟︎
mircea_popescu: anyway, the comments on that article are particularly retarded. one schmuck that can barely spell brings the entire "football team fan" argument, without a trace of irony or even the faintest hint of self awareness. he honestly believes that since "technology" today is better than 100 years ago, while the math kids could do out of highschool back then was 10x harder, it then follows that studying hard has no payoff.
mircea_popescu: was in the log earlier
mircea_popescu: "[How is it possible for an adult American to need to spend full-time maintaining a 20-year-old house? I got some insight into this the other day. << holy shit the us has turned into 80s romania.
PeterL: ;;later tell williamdunne want me to give you the nick "scoopbot" for your bot?
mircea_popescu: all these things which exist...
mircea_popescu: ;;google anastasia the make-up mogul
mircea_popescu: how's the new job ?
mircea_popescu: There are still attacks that can be mounted from large distances. Laptop-chassis potential, measured from the far end of virtually any shielded cable connected to the laptop" << tells you all you actually wanted to know. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: "Q5: What if I can't get physically close enough to the target computer?
mircea_popescu: yes, further, but logarithmically. the next 1k spent adds 10 cm. the next 100k spent adds another 10 cm. etc.
mircea_popescu: "In order to extend the attack range, we added a 50dB gain stage using a pair of inexpensive low-noise amplifiers (Mini-Circuits ZFL-500LN+ and ZFL-1000LN+ in series, 175$ total). We also added a low-pass filter before the amplifiers. With this enhanced setup, the attack can be mounted from 50 cm away. Using better antennas, amplifiers and digitizers, the range can be extended even further."
mircea_popescu: (not even going into the details of how running bitcoin in the background provides nearly perfect defense for all this, because good luck distinguishing)
mircea_popescu: punkman antenna has to be very close and the reason they use it on laptops is that it doesn't actually work on metallic chassis desktops. ☟︎

decimation: they could be doing something useful, like cleaning toilets
decimation: ^ note that about half the population in the us is paid by the state to do nothing
decimation: "However, the mother now has to spend nearly all of her time managing household affairs. ?We had three people to help us in Shanghai,? said the father, ?but here just weekly cleaners.?"
decimation: " In Shanghai the children, age 5 and 11, had attended an international school that was so demanding the parents had to stay up tutoring until 11 pm some nights. Public school in the Boston suburbs, by contrast, is so easy that the children don?t need any after-school help."
mats: no i think indiancandy is funny
decimation: mats: the low line density?
mircea_popescu: but in any case, ima direct something with girls in it, so twedledoo
indiancandy1: so u out the game now
mircea_popescu: kinda half the point of the entire thing.
mircea_popescu: indiancandy1 i fucked plenty of them, dun worry.
indiancandy1: so you were on set watching the talent
mircea_popescu: the director's more like the spiritual leader of teh tribe. the producer just makes sure they have enough food and don't fight with it.
indiancandy1: producer is the finance i belive
decimation: what's the difference between that and the director?
mircea_popescu: a producer is traditionally more like the adult in charge of the children on the set.
mircea_popescu: memory is getting hazy after all the years, but i dun think i actually directed anything
mircea_popescu: well so then that's why i didn't tell you, because i told them. i can't do everything myself.
indiancandy1: ppl were tlkin about porn

asciilifeform: phun phakt: 'scheme' programming language has its 'call-with-current-continuation', perhaps the oddest and 'most generic' control structure known, which takes the current place in execution and turns it into an assignable (yes) closure (i.e. callable function!) -- typically it is implemented using setjmp(). ☟︎
asciilifeform: (for this, you need setjmp()...)
asciilifeform: compiler won't let you cross stack frames, though
asciilifeform: (it rubs the reader's face in the fact that all c control structures translate into jumps, which are quite the same as the much-maligned 'goto')
assbot: Logged on 20-06-2015 00:42:54; asciilifeform: of course, folks who regularly deal with the output of c compiler cannot be surprised by duff's device
assbot: Logged on 20-06-2015 00:50:54; mircea_popescu: anyway : the do doesn't exist when it appears in the code, but when the returning while is looking for it. much like the tits on the girl don't belong to the girl.
asciilifeform: at ~5 usd / round, one has to really like the music.
