asciilifeform: affectionately remembered as 'аникей'
assbot: Logged on 09-05-2015 02:34:43; asciilifeform: as to dog 'food' means 'dog food', to homo derpicus - 'isp' means his local telecom monopolist
mircea_popescu: well... not so much small as thin, but yeah.
assbot: Logged on 09-05-2015 03:35:27; asciilifeform: my favourite apocryphal scene is where a german general, seeing french flags, asked 'did we lose to -them- as well' ?
gabriel_laddel: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=08-05-2015#1125284 << I wish you luck, but ftw I'm not the sort of person to discuss this class of phenomenon. Even with all the disclaimers and knowing that Aaron isn't a fuckwit I still think of his post as "new age BS". I don't exercise, smoke, drink and eat whatever I want. ☝︎
decimation: yeah it's kinda on the outer ring of 'reactionary' sites as I recall
decimation: it's gory as hell. what amuses me is that conventional heterosexual intercourse is 'too hot' for HBO, but it's perfectly fine to show murdering
mircea_popescu: "The resilience of this world (as with our own) is that the truth cannot disable it. Even when TV tells you TV is bad for you, you’ll nod and say “that’s so right” and queue up the next episode. This irony is not lost on the producers. “15 Million Merits” is a show about a show about how destructive shows are. We recognize this as truth and congratulate ourselves for noticing. But just like the hapless redh
asciilifeform: 'This is actually true, I passed by some twerp here trying to give out flyers of some local thing identifying as a communist party and my principal impulse was to ask him how is he not ashamed of himself.' << i lost count of how many 'radical left party hq' doors i walked past in b-a
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: as per https://www.uwgb.edu/dutchs/PSEUDOSC/ConspirThx.htm ?
asciilifeform: my favourite apocryphal scene is where a german general, seeing french flags, asked 'did we lose to -them- as well' ? ☟︎
decimation: $40k would go a long way in the us as long as you are willing to live like a bum
asciilifeform: as to dog 'food' means 'dog food', to homo derpicus - 'isp' means his local telecom monopolist ☟︎
asciilifeform: decimation: iirc the lectures in the videos were not actually given at mit, but as a guest tour for, i think, hewlett-packard
asciilifeform: as far as i can tell
cazalla: seems to have dropped a few ratings i made prior to to april 2014 as well
asciilifeform: intel never had any purpose in life other than to operate as microshit's partner in crime
asciilifeform: this is, to put it as briefly as possible, is because 'greedy algorithm'.
jurov: http://www.supermicro.nl/Aplus/system/3U/3012/AS-3012MA-H12TRF.cfm this looks more like it
mircea_popescu: really, it's not intended as a thing to fuck with people from. it's intended as a thing where to be safe from people fucking with you.
mircea_popescu: diametric here, as in #b-a.
mike_c: but whatever. as long as it dies.
asciilifeform: not as if there aren't a couplea dozen vps crud isps who will take the 10 dollah
mats: Adlai: as far as i can tell, its unequivocally better than dalvik
Adlai: wasn't it richard gabriel who summarized darwin as "worse is better"?
mircea_popescu: and if as far as we know it might as well not, that makes 84% or w/e comparisons untenable. irrespective of what may or may not be the case.
mircea_popescu: yeah, but now you're arguing with a straw man. i never said it doesn't, i just said as far as we know, it might as well not.
mircea_popescu: in any case, claiming a z80 and a pentium 6 are "99.84% identical" on the grounds of mass spectrometry is about as apt.
asciilifeform: mats: i very much see aslr as the proverbial 'teacher's condom', as per https://xkcd.com/463
asciilifeform: yes, but if gpu stopped (as perhaps it has) then it is quite useless to hijack them for this purpose given that asic remains in motion
asciilifeform: mats: the rootkit thing is interesting for another reason. remember the era of gpu mining? there were thousands of idiots distributing 'bfgminer' etc. as crapware payload.
asciilifeform: mats: i dunno enough about silicon to say what i'd rather have << but it is not difficult to arrive at what one would rather -not- have. as (i think it was) mircea_popescu wrote, 'i don't lay eggs, but...'
asciilifeform: as if you necessarily need to reflash the card here
asciilifeform: think of gpu as simply a very poorly documented coprocessor
mircea_popescu: because really, trying to rewrite it without dma ... might as well start over.
mats: > Jellyfish is a Linux based userland gpu rootkit proof of concept project utilizing the LD_PRELOAD technique from Jynx (CPU), as well as the OpenCL API developed by Khronos group (GPU).
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=08-05-2015#1125101 << i would like to clarify this point at this time, by underscoring that while i do undertake some expense out of pocket, and that may well appear as an untrivial ammount, especially in terms of one's own household, nevertheless : 1) it is trivial compared to the tasks at hand, indiscutably and 2) B,TMSR~ runs immense deficits, as discussed in http://trilema.com/20 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: (and by no one can, i mean systematically. obviously one can, but only as an individual act. only ever as an individual act)
mircea_popescu: all fucking science exists as maybes, that's what it is. piles of hypotheses. just like no one can ever turn an ethic should into an engineering is, just so no one can turn a scientific maybe into an auctorial do it.
mircea_popescu: (to the more broad general point : an authority, perceived or actual, that faces absolutely no danger in case his pronouncements turn out to be wrong, CAN NOT BE USED AS AN AUTHORITY)
asciilifeform: 'Allowing more transactions with no other changes would very likely accelerate the UTXO set growth, making it more expensive, more quickly, to run a fully validating node. And worst case would be twenty times as expensive; $10,000 per year. Affordable for a business, not for an individual.' << but now that he said this, next tack will be 'individuals have no business running nodes, only Responsible Licensed Businesses ought ..
assbot: Logged on 08-05-2015 11:54:53; cazalla: toddlers are sorta like jews, call out and cry as they strike you
mircea_popescu: davout would not work, if he still had any face to lose. but as it is, will necessarily work : has nothing left, therefore nothing to be lost.
mircea_popescu: with the victims, or as michael jackson's hologram would say, "ALLEGED!!1"
mircea_popescu: ancient trilema article, same idea "your country as a hotel ; or a change of perspective".
asciilifeform: i learned this as 'no one dies to defend his hotel'
asciilifeform: i'll adjust it as soon as i also figure out the db locking thing
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this was my thought as well
mircea_popescu: used to be a few spanish a few azn some people from africa (as opposed to us blacks)
mircea_popescu: anyway, egypt still has an ancient network of clean water canisters, as a public service, a day's walk away from the others
asciilifeform: 2) 'arm a9' as in the various popular boards like 'banana'
funkenstein_: gabriel_laddel, I do concede that without things like genetics, air to breathe, gravity and such, we wouldn't have intelligence as we know it
pete_dushenski: thestringpuller: the 2nd order ones are only 1/1000th as powerful though. still +ev.
danielpbarron: "I don?t really have a strong opinion on block size either?but if we?re going to do a hard fork, let?s use this as an opportunity to create a good process for hard forks (which we?ll inevitably need to do again in the future)." << leave it up to these guys and the 21 million cap will be lifted in a matter of years
cazalla: toddlers are sorta like jews, call out and cry as they strike you ☟︎
assbot: Nigel Farage resigns as UKIP leader as the party vote rises - BBC News ... ( http://bit.ly/1EgQCtn )
cazalla: drinking? i don't drink as much as i did before my short stint working, but now back at home each day, figured why not have a drink tonight
cazalla: as a kid, some friends and i use to go around collecting cans, weekends were best after local cricket.. stuff some and in there for extra weight and earn yourself $2 for a bag of lollies
asciilifeform wonders if the machines evolved in the same direction as mils's www site
asciilifeform: as the infamous crypto ag did (does!)
mircea_popescu: shit's almost as good as timecube.
mircea_popescu: As virtually limitless amounts of cosmic epiphanies began to dawn on me, timeless transcendence of my timelessly presence in the ‘Holy Shift of B.S.’ (belief systems) about universal life started a Higher Truth transformation twist in my life from I to We (think illness to wellness)."
mircea_popescu: not everyone went to the same kindergarten as you, asciilifeform
mircea_popescu: "My message has always been the same. Hard Work, Dedication, and have been the core wisdom I hope to transfer into you as a thank you for reading, visiting, and absorbing my thoughts, feelings, and outlook on life."
mircea_popescu: “I have many irons in the fire when it comes to projects,” Shanks writes on his website, “from health, to wealth, to blogging and establishing a community movement, my arms are ready and my eyes wide open to welcome as many of you as I can, to serve a higher purpose, help others create success, happiness and prosperity in life.”
asciilifeform: historic as in history of pgp
mircea_popescu: one is, key as to be used on mpex. the other is, key as to be used on deedbot
mircea_popescu: it moves from metaphysics to techne, as it were.
mircea_popescu: it's exactly like the difference between knowing and not knowing that washing hands prevents peripueral fever. now, for as long as you don't know, you don't know. once you do know, it all reduces to a question of how well you washed your hands.
BingoBoingo: In other news most of my meatspace contacts are now getting that rosebush as mother's day presents. Just looking at the odds it is almost inevitable of of their moms is going to pirate it.
mircea_popescu: decimation : the idea that the poor have some sort of choice or whatever is so damned laughable. to quote myself, "Not only is the consumer about as screwed as is currently the case, but to everyone's benefit he has just been clearly proven yet again that revolt = being fucked in the ass harder, longer, with a thicker implement with sharper barbs on it. "
BingoBoingo: Now "phone home" isn't as bad as Hearn forking in March 2013, but phone home is still bad for people who chose Armory
asciilifeform: given as, e.g., many forms of de-facto income are not taxed in any way whatsoever
assbot: Logged on 07-04-2015 00:10:01; mircea_popescu: just like having a car doesn't alow having gasoline. it's true that often people who have cars also independently have gasoline, but the two are fundamentally unrelated, and there is such a thing as the fool's breakdown, ie, car's outta gas on the side of hte road.
asciilifeform: ^ obvious as daylight
asciilifeform l0lz as usual, because is one of these people
mircea_popescu: this isn't a worry. this is empathy. i understand how fucked the bug is, even as i crush it under my boot. it is, after all, a bug.
asciilifeform: the whole thing is/was an explicit, entirely deliberate departure from commonly-held 'sanity' and in so far as it was this, it was worth paying attention to.
mod6: and units? as in mem page size? 4096
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo yeah, they look a little wilted as is normal for a transplant but not much. seem they'll be fine
trinque: "Miners would include free transactions ordered by “priority” as they do today (calculated as coin age times value), and they’d do it because circulating bitcoins are valuable bitcoins."
trinque: "Neither me nor Gavin believe a fee market will work as a substitute for the inflation subsidy."
mircea_popescu: mats notrly as of yet
mircea_popescu: Another alleged victim, Daniel, tells a similar story. After being subjected to sexual abuse at M&C, he wrote a suicide note: "I can't stop crying! Please God help me. I can't go on. I let them use me as a sex tool. I let those assholes do all those terrible things to me. Goodbye." His brother found the note and alerted their parents before Daniel made any attempt on his life.
mircea_popescu: wait, so just as we finally got rid of that dubious onlyonetv pedo character,
fluffypony: "These glorified pep rallies represent just one aspect of a global campaign by Pierce—who's operated on the fringes of American business for the past 15 years—to reinvent himself as a trustworthy power broker in a volatile virtual realm and cement his claim to a title currently shared by many: the godfather of bitcoin."
ascii_field: 'pierced' was understood as 'properly deflowered' vs merely proclaimed as lowered into pederasty
fluffypony: you know that Brock has his PR firm labelling him as "the Godfather or Bitcoin" ?
fluffypony: I just refer to him as Pedobear Pierce
mircea_popescu: "The governor's proposition that these soldiers and sailors constitute a potential threat and need watching as they go about their duties certainly stakes out some new political ground for the leader of the Texas GOP to stand on."
mircea_popescu: as i was sitting here
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i tell you we might have to find a way to parallelize this, because as it is, it'll prolly be too slow.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: in principle, one can do clever things to weasel out of the cache problem - such as setting max product size and gcd'ing said parcels together
jurov: won't it get slower over time as gcd grows?
mircea_popescu: because guess what : smegma is just as natural a byproduct of the sexual organs, of the other gender. and washing it off is certainly as novel bla bla as shaving the cunt.
mircea_popescu: as used above, it prolly doesn't.
mircea_popescu: " It should be at least possible for users to start learning the basics of Python without having to first learn English as a prerequisite (even if English remains a requirement for full participation in the global Python and open source ecosystems)." << this is pretty retarded.
assbot: BOEING’S DREAMLINER AIRCRAFT IN TROUBLE, JUST AS WE PREDICTED ON PAGE 140 OF THE PURITAN GIFT! | The Puritan Gift ... ( http://bit.ly/1ReYIvH )
decimation: http://www.puritangift.com/en/blog/2013/01/14/boeings-dreamliner-aircraft-in-serious-trouble-just-as-we-predicted-on-page-7-of-the-puritan-gift/ < "In 2005 and 2006, a former Great Engine company, Boeing, sold 350 of its Dreamliner aircraft straight off the drawing board, with the intention of ‘out-sourcing’ the manufacture of 80 per cent of its structure and components to forty-three suppliers on three continents.

mircea_popescu: unless they make wetware cpus, stuff's good as is.
