mircea_popescu: but as things actually work, crown prosecutor can sit unblushing and talk shit about random black dude.
diana_coman: quite; I suspect it would cleanup the set of scripts too as atm it's a bit hairy to follow everything (or at least so it seemed to me coming at it relatively from the outside)
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: there are now 2 standard matchstick designs -- 'condo' ( as in mircea_popescu's link ) and 'townhouse' ( same matchstick, same layout, slightly moar space )
mircea_popescu watched "old school" yest with the gals because i don't recall why. holy shit that's a transparent piece of femstate agitprop (not coincidentally, with the same crew as http://trilema.com/very-bad-things ) -- who could possibly pass on the "career woman" with a kid in tow and all that nonsense.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, there's some 2 bedroom apartments here with the same square metrage as the habitation module which is close to the same footprint as the asciilifeform/ben_vulpes hotel room.
BingoBoingo: Eastern tobacco involves ritual and some trivial amount of work. Most US hookah purchases I've seen end up on a shelf as another piece of kitsch after just a few uses.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: my (admittedly nonexpert) understanding is that hooka is used for what in asciilifeform's alcoholic orcistan is referred to as 'kvasing', i.e. slow intake over whole day/night
mircea_popescu found a one inch cut of vanilla bean in his UAE-made "best shisha tobacco in the world". it tasted as fresh and great as one from here, even joked with the girls, "full circle for this guy"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: today. ( but naturally not classic opium, given as it cannot be patented, but usg.strange, and 'prescription' )
a111: Logged on 2014-12-08 05:33 mircea_popescu: "Sunt fondatorul uneia din cele mai mari retele de bloguri de nisa din Romania (Stepout Media), cu siteuri precum: www.construimimperii.ro," i am the founder of one of the biggest niche networks in romania, with sites such as webuildempires
a111: Logged on 2019-01-25 17:05 mircea_popescu: in any case, in 2011, as in 2001, as in 2021 i can say "academia romana keks" or http://trilema.com/2011/stimata-academie/ whatever ; but they can't say "trilema.com", because holy shit.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in other http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-25#1889862 slash http://btcbase.org/log/2014-12-08#948046 lulz : the dork i used above for a source for the commie radio pictures (not that he originates them, they actually come from http://www.latrecut.ro/2006/05/ric-stramoshul-ipod-ului/ which is significantlly better contextually, but I was lazy) not only passes himself as a "Ministrul Cyberculturii | Recenzii, cronici, cr ☝︎☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: and he died exactly as per the manual.
mircea_popescu: but that's exactly as far as it goes. http://trilema.com/2017/the-day-of-failure-trilemma/#selection-123.521-123.556 and that's all.
mircea_popescu: if you're willing to feed and clothe and billet them to play video games all day and totally not take their smartphone to red zone, they'll do it. you can call them astronauts or soldiers or whatever you want (as long as it's not stupid fucking cunts or anything like that).
mircea_popescu: today they can't summon 50 people to go to venezuela, as soldiers. and back in http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=from%3Amircea+mosul lulz days, they couldn't scare up 500.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's no such thing left. i know it's difficult to conceptualize, but it's nevertheless true. there is no such thing as an us army.
BingoBoingo: Everyone in the US I've met that worked a "public contact/customer service" position has the same epiphany. None of them think humanity is bad or democracy unworkable, they fatlogic that everyone else is exactly as same age/gender/human as they are.
mircea_popescu: i had this two-battery, no port radio as a 12yo boy.
mircea_popescu: because it never fucking did. it was temporarily "a thing", in the sense of, hyped up ~name~ for a category, about as inconsequential as whatever other name.
asciilifeform sees it as having been ~stillborn to begin with : ersatz pseudo-hypertext, with broken links, inability to link to fragments in any reliable way, megatonne of hacks req'd to overcome these while introducing novel and intractable breakages, etc
mircea_popescu: obviously wikipedia did not live up to any of those promises. but then again, the airplane, or the radio also did not live up to the hallucinant "promises" as perceived by early "idea men" "working" on the topics.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-17 17:15 mircea_popescu: i never perceived him as anything other than or besides https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FM-2030 character.
mircea_popescu: at its origin, it was envisaged as this cvasi-magical "perfect systematic solution to a large set of previously ununderstood problems". part and parcel of this, the (in retrospect) ridiculous blather of the wikitard as to the "human knowledge" and other http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-17#1850928 slash huxleyan nonsense, "transhumanism" blablabla. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: ftr, cuz this is interesting from a cultural history perspective : the "web", as an item in the socio-conceptual space, died ~with assange~, and not with wikipedia.
a111: Logged on 2019-03-01 17:09 asciilifeform: as i understand various folx use gnarly custom apache ( iirc mircea_popescu definitely ) and so it'll have to be massaged also
feedbot: http://qntra.net/2019/03/oscar-screener-leaks-hit-new-low-as-apathy-with-hollywood-output-continues-to-grow/ << Qntra -- Oscar Screener Leaks Hit New Low As Apathy With Hollywood Output Continues To Grow
diana_coman: I was curious re activity @ musl so I joined the channel: the topic is same as http://btcbase.org/log/2015-07-05#1188244 ☝︎
asciilifeform: as i understand various folx use gnarly custom apache ( iirc mircea_popescu definitely ) and so it'll have to be massaged also ☟︎
bvt: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-17#1897636 << as long as i need userspace C code to run, I'll be happy to use musl. it's not bugs-free, but its bugs have very different nature than glibc's. i see no reason for keeping glibc on non-toiletboxes. ☝︎
asciilifeform: as for server, iirc it's a pure diana_coman matter , and still in the worx
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-28#1899801 << it's a methodologically defensible "charitable read" ; nevertheless not actually supported by the facts, as it happens. this dun invalidate the method i dun think. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: there's really no rule there must be crap "made available" to "the public". a) there's no such thing as "the public" and b) srsly now. do it right or go the fuck home, tell wifey your troubles.
asciilifeform: cuz that'd be interesting. i initially supposed that it was built as a 'lowest common denominator', i.e. without presumption that os supports preemption
diana_coman: well, at least that choice of only sjlj for certified profiles makes some sense since zcx is just not doing the full job as it were
diana_coman: ah, not with the standard, ofc not; with whatever certificate x measures (as they say: traceability, formal verification, stack consumption)
diana_coman: ah, hm, I thought there was some different version/moar features in the commercial version; anyway, I have to admit I did not really try to get it running as there was no ..need felt for it so far
asciilifeform: the 'pro' item is iirc advertised as 'certified', whatever that means
asciilifeform: near as i can tell, it's a vestige from days of running on os with no scheduler (dos etc)
mircea_popescu: as things stand now, zcx meets exactly the wrecker's profile.
asciilifeform: tho imho would work just as well to use serial
asciilifeform: ( theoretically can do 70kV, per the sticker, but power supply deliberately capped by vendor, so as to get 100% absorption by the cabinet shields and sell as 'contained' or whatever oshaism it was called )
asciilifeform: so, to answ http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-28#1899681 , it's a fat 0. as known even 100y ago.. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: anwyay, your other point is also quite sound : can certainly use low pass filter, such as metal mesh or w/e, to filter out lower energy. yes lower instant energy, but if expose for longer in the end get same total energy, more conveniently distributed on spectrum
asciilifeform: re flipped bits -- actually considered soft xray as a potential diddle for e.g. google's fritz chip. possibly worth a shot at some pt.
mircea_popescu: there's no such thing as no penetration in nature.
asciilifeform: i expect this is typical (FG is pretty thin as far as pcb goes)
asciilifeform: (given as already have 1)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as of yet -- nuffin
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know i coincidentally re-read that piece as recently as this week ?
mircea_popescu: there was this whole "we'll do things in javascript", it's what github lives as in my memory.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-27#1899460 << there's an island, smaller than cuba, "civilised" before it. it's where the industrialized farms dump their (otherwise unsellable) mutton bellies, in preference of having them removed as garbage. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-27#1899452 << this'd be precisely why spawning's a waste of republican time. the daughter of random orcs from africa makes just as good a putative slavegirl, the son of random chinese provincial governors makes just as good putative meat for the noose as anything your missus could be bringing you home. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-11-03 13:08 asciilifeform: asciilifeform confessed to a cabbie that he wants to move, and cabbie looked as if asciilifeform grew a cock on his forehead
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: as i understand, maduro is on the chopping block; and i dun think these are unrelated
mircea_popescu: consider this item i recently fell upon by accident : "And so the scam rolled on through April and into May. I gathered around fifty active investors, and scammed about a billion non-Morty investments. I was repeatedly pulled into convos, usually lasting only a short time as they asked a few questions. Within the first few lines of communication
asciilifeform: as it is, if yer launching yours into orbit, i recc pb foil over the cpld.
asciilifeform: baked out of 19th c. actual-people flat, as they came
mircea_popescu: but in more reality-anchored basis for discussion, i'd guess about one third of esl females in age range of interest live in communal arrangements. some are publicly run, aka "university dorms" ; some are privately run, of which as much as one third also illegally run.
mircea_popescu: in practice, women make do, and the femstate as organized womanhood (whether you like it or not) will... well... see, it gets something in exchange for permanent defeat. it's indefeatable in its own terms now!!!
asciilifeform: ( there's a reason why in old japan arsonists were invariably burned at the stake, i.e. same as for high treason )
BingoBoingo: Old women like fussing, as carried out by this old woman
asciilifeform: 'As gay rights supporters try to reconcile Joly the crusader with Joly the alleged arsonist, they worry the arrest could be used to reverse all the good he has done' << lol!
feedbot: http://qntra.net/2019/02/another-week-another-us-hate-hoax-as-lgtbbq-activist-torches-own-house-killing-pets/ << Qntra -- Another Week, Another US Hate Hoax As LGTBBQ Activist Torches Own House Killing Pets
BingoBoingo: Less pressing as the headcase contents get flushed and refreshed with the re-reading, but it's a thing on the issues chart
BingoBoingo: Anyways, I carry some technical debt, but as I've been learning since last year there's a lot of pressing cultural debt.
BingoBoingo: Some trilemas I read quickly in 2013-2019 today take substantially more time to read as I correct and rebuild the working set in the headcase. Then again 2013-2017 I was mistakenly filtering for Bitcoin. But that filtering doesn't work.
mircea_popescu: somehow february counted as two months for the blog, nfi.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: afaik no socketable arm (as in cpu per se) has ever been offered.
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
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: As Lafond amply documents
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.
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: asciilifeform amusingly, this is exactly "alf likes polish notation". good for you, but as the above cs intro page explains : YOU KEEP NEEDING SHIT FROM THE RIGHT.
a111: Logged on 2015-04-07 21:39 mircea_popescu: but i say the pigs make ham. as that one butcher observed, "i only follow the lines already there"
a111: Logged on 2019-02-24 06:47 hanbot wouldn't for a moment think of v as belonging in the set of "failed attempts"/"ugliness or banality potential of life on earth", but otherwise the problem of desire to control perception is spot-on. i certainly have that problem, "x isn't polished enough", "i'll write about y when it's all done and i know what the score is" etc
a111: Logged on 2019-02-24 06:38 hanbot: am i nuts for expecting the this to be on asciilifeform's blog, seeing as he wrote it?
hanbot nominates that old pic on trilema of some shit you took as mascot for this conversation
mircea_popescu: v-as-of-2015 is exactly the same item as something-that-will-happen-tomorrow. yes v-as-of-2019 has some sort of value associated, built in those 4 years. but the original, emergent item was valued according to prospective, not historical criteria. basically, it got whatever ~default~ value one put on his own ingenuity.
mircea_popescu: but you see, ~before~ "v" existed, in the sense you understand it now, v also existed as a thing that hasn't yet existed.
hanbot wouldn't for a moment think of v as belonging in the set of "failed attempts"/"ugliness or banality potential of life on earth", but otherwise the problem of desire to control perception is spot-on. i certainly have that problem, "x isn't polished enough", "i'll write about y when it's all done and i know what the score is" etc ☟︎
mircea_popescu: "if nobody saw me shitting my pants then therefore nobody has any cause to suspect i ever did" or somesuch. as fucking if that's how anything worked.
mircea_popescu: there's this common tendency among noob bloggers to regard the blog as some sort of trophycase/showcase. they miss out on their own youth, as the lived story of their own personal path through life, consisting as such always does of failure, and tribulation.
mircea_popescu: 2019 logic didn't seem nearly as logical in 2015, what can i tell you.
hanbot: am i nuts for expecting the this to be on asciilifeform's blog, seeing as he wrote it? ☟︎
nicoleci: mircea_popescu: nicoleci kitten, check out latest comments, local troll dug out the linkedin of this lulzcow. write to them, say hi an' tell 'em your master ordered you to << this is done - i messaged him as ordered. :)
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo they'll prolly go for it, as the easiest thing to maintain. (in other words : heating new york is impossible as a matter of fact -- the best way to "explain" this to the affected while maintaining control is to pretend it's deliberate)
mircea_popescu: funny how poorly the whole charade worked out. imagine if they came to you, you know, "here guy, you're the least informed dork in all of this obscure university's legal history dept, we'll promote you as the truly white black man! then you can go down in history as the most idiotic black man the soil ever produced, while we move on to different-but-same whiteboi wanking posts".
a111: Logged on 2019-02-23 17:23 asciilifeform: iirc mircea_popescu has this piece , where rms as lev trotsky, 'troo left believer' surrounded by the usual swarm of cynical grifters who inevitably come to put proboscis into 'troo believer' as surely as flies to shit
asciilifeform: 'A sad day; the McDonald's double cheeseburger is no longer a dollar menu item. They now have the "McDouble" (which is the same thing but only one slice of cheese), but it's a sign that the whole thing is likely to drop off soon. Apparently, just because the economy has imploded doesn't mean we haven't still got galloping inflation.' << there's 9000 of these, i'ma leave off , so as not to ruin appetites
asciilifeform: ( or why else 'buy house for sister so as to eat at mcd' ?! )
asciilifeform: right here, there's that airfield, and the enthusiasts (all, near as i can tell, in their 60s/70s) erry weekend dig in the engine, oil rag & all
mircea_popescu: as a factual matter, there wouldn't have been ww2 us bombers under any other paradigm.
asciilifeform: ( not that it would've made much diff -- e.g. drepper is certified author of no fewer than 3 open-and-shut sabotages, and still somehow 'contributing' as if nuffinhappened )
mircea_popescu: bout as effectual as the sand dollars i fished at beach last.
asciilifeform: d00d was entirely happy to exercise authority . simply not to any sane end, but as strictly reflex to butthurts, 1:1.
