mircea_popescu: pretty much everything is easier/better if you take the silicon valley idiots out of the loop
mircea_popescu: ReadErr that's the idea. ircbot is in lips ; if you dont' grok that there's also supybot which iirc is python
mircea_popescu: anyway, you can make one too, if you want, it's not that hard.
mircea_popescu: if you read the logs, you'll see there's a lot of important stuff in there.
mircea_popescu: ReadErr if there;s a netsplit every bot sees its shard ; generally discussion stops tho.
mircea_popescu: there's no need to worry anyone misses anything you say
mircea_popescu: ReadErr yeah ; it's what i use for interfacing all my hosting needs.
mircea_popescu: nah, asciilifeform did ; the whole thing's in a v tree
mircea_popescu: what do you do, other than very legit websites, ReadErr ?
mircea_popescu: i ordered a smoked trout + aguacate & onion sandwich earlier and it was like "oh master, the fruits of exploitation are ready!"
mircea_popescu: ie, "something we lifted from 2010 trilema and forgot to SAY SO"
mircea_popescu: did anyone ever write something not-idiotic on that medium idiocy ?
mircea_popescu: well, moar of a "if you can't use time band for signalling you're stuck with a stitched together in-band signalling monstrosity"
mircea_popescu: back in dos days was even pentix, if you recall, and then that arbitrary tetris generator in space, you saw it ?
mircea_popescu: because, i guess, socialist poison, "in all things we do must be one thing where all things are equal!"
mircea_popescu: "if you go into octagon you get X, but in square you get Y".
mircea_popescu: funny, nobody to my knowledge leveraged multi-cell plane fills.
mircea_popescu: combinatoric explosion -- always on your side. that's fucking how.
mircea_popescu: in entirely unrelated news, here's a simple idea on how to leverage computing power to generate "game" content : create a hexagon filled with hexagonal cells ; cut an arbitrary number of partitions to it, present the pieces to human to "solve" the problem.
mircea_popescu: not tenable today because "zek + cellphone" is more like "nsa contractor" than zek
mircea_popescu: nah, 1970s timesharing is an outgrowth of "zeks are not persons", was fine.
mircea_popescu: absolutely was not proposed that imperial idiocy is now "limited to cloud". no, imperial idiocy is imperial idiocy.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes ; just picked a point at the core of the cloud of idiocy.
mircea_popescu: what next, "african proverb", what is this, the pantsuited hilarity radio show ?
mircea_popescu: and in fucking general -- idiot's failure to register with the republic "for a really long time" doth not somehow enact idiot into anything else, what the everloving fuck.
mircea_popescu thoroughly ignored "cloud" since the day it was invented. the fact that they failed to address this for a decade does not somehow enact a special sovereignity for them, and make cloud a thing. it is still not a thing, as it NEVER FUCKING WAS. hurr.
mircea_popescu: what THEY are trying to solve, "how to perpetuate empire-on-your-box???" is not a problem that needs any solving.
mircea_popescu: anyway, to revisit the upstack problem : the solution to rowhammer, 3.0 as 1.0, is not to "make kernel flush all the time, 50% performance penalty" nor the original "solutions" nor any of that crap.
mircea_popescu: especially the tiny dop of a woman that took over when he was sacked (ie, next year), and who "ce pizda ma-sii!!!1" then noticing completely frozen/silent bunch of 13yo went "what, you never heard that before ?!"
mircea_popescu: 50yo women much better at the... roman, shall we call it, approach to education.
mircea_popescu: ~only 25yo male we had in the crew was ro lit dork, who refused to explain what "oftica" (= tuberculosis, but in ro folklore "disease of unfulfilled love") meant, and when pressed "you'll see in the army".
mircea_popescu: in retrospect the whole fucking point of the "game" is evidently "take girl outside of her own safety margins as she herself imagines them" ie fundamental maturation step.
mircea_popescu spent a while in junior high getting girls to spin legs extended and then pull them in. "o noes!111"
mircea_popescu: seems reasonable. "Dear zek, do your part in building of this great state as we define it".
