mircea_popescu: <ascii
_butugychag> the stock sync mechanism is batshit insane << this yes. but even if all that were fixed, verification will still take time.
ascii_butugychag: mircea
_popescu: actually it would be quite trivial to parallelize, i just haven't the hands presently
mod6: <+mircea
_popescu> mod6 im not even sure we can depend on a notion of "time" for v purposes. << oh yeah 'the last time' is probably a bad choice of words, "the last alteration" or some such.

_popescu: then the outline showed up. "the change will be introduced in phases. for the first five years, only trucks and vehicles over 5 tons will switch to driving on right"

_popescu discussed earlier
BingoBoingo: <ascii
_butugychag> su police, at least formally, were forbidden to appear anywhere in public except as 2+ man group. << This is part of what interests me in this case. 4 police officers met 4 hindbrains in mutual combat and lost resoundingly. If not for the equal numbers would be far less interesting.
mircea_popescu: ascii
_butugychag> idiot stotting bulls are a dime a dozen. << they're a dime a dozen exactly like how microscope is a dime a dozen in post-usg us.

_popescu: nubbins` my problem is that i really can't stand idiots.
BingoBoingo: #b-a goes through its mostly epicurean stage. nubbins` drinks less, mircea
_popescu eats less, BingoBoingo realizes he only binge drinks has to stop entirely
ascii_butugychag: and i think mircea
_popescu had an article specially about this
ascii_butugychag: mircea
_popescu: it is almost possible to catalogue the cockroaches typically infesting n00b heads - for instance, having a set of 'too big to contemplate' steps, such as junking 'nacl' et al and writing own libs
mircea_popescu: ascii
_butugychag and godel famously wasn't quite together.

_butugychag in this fantasy, the s:n ratio is back where it was
mircea_popescu: ascii
_butugychag incidentally, this is the most shocking part of the maqp kid. he is utterly alone, for this reason entirely hopeless, and his solution is "hey, better aloneliness potion would help!"
nubbins`: mircea
_popescu my heart empathetically raced as i imagined the empty pit of despair engulfing him at the moment of re-arrest
ascii_butugychag: and in defense of mircea
_popescu , the arithmetical boojum involved was a subtle one, sorta like montyhall
mircea_popescu: ascii
_butugychag see, bering the commander of a glorious, victorious army unit does not protect one from dying in a drunken bar brawl.
thestringpuller: ascii
_butugychag you sound like the health food store people. "drink this dewormer before you enter"
mircea_popescu: ascii

assbot: Logged on 08-02-2016 03:00:17; mircea
_popescu: phf internet produces necessarily a mixed bag. still, the guy correctly identified a workable airgap scheme on his own, should count for something.
BingoBoingo: <ben
_vulpes> heh anyways i just cracked xotika, picked a random feed and whaddaya know the last frame of the bloomberg video that autoplayed itself is superimposed on this poor girl's face << Known bug on Chromium using OS X and Nvidia
