mircea_popescu: you don'
t get to go around putting labels on things you know.
mircea_popescu: you're acting like elementary points don'
t somehow magically exist. that pretense doesn'
t do anything.
funkenstein_: asciilifeform, still can'
t afford that chip fab?
mircea_popescu: why ? wouldn'
t you want to know if it was at some point and is not now ?
assbot: Logged on 05-09-2015 19:22:45; ascii_modem: i won'
t ever use this.
mircea_popescu: "i don'

mircea_popescu: i can'
t believe this shit. dude srsly that's not how bitcoin works wtf. you can'

assbot: Logged on 05-09-2015 18:09:28; punkman: so I mutilated Veh, it now saves its cache to disk so it doesn'
t have to redo it all each time it's invoked
funkenstein_: perhaps we shouldn'
t try too hard to understand the actions of psychopaths, but rather - the inaction of those who could prevent this shit
shinohai: Perhaps so. I have not the insights into such things myself. Though I cannot be accused of having inflated self-worth I can'
t rationalize how killing things makes me matter more.
funkenstein_: but no, nyt won'
t mention that he is a cia asset, soa graduate, or name the ixil.
mod6: Well, one thing I don'
t want is a persistant store of the parents and children of a given patch. I want it to read it fresh everytime so ensure things aren'
t diddled or cosmic-ray'd or just stale or something. Not sure if that's what was changed on punkmans side. But I want the one that I use to do all of this in one shot.

punkman: ascii_modem, I understand this, but let's just say I have other project that won'
t be fun if it takes 6 weeks to recompute

punkman: I don'

trinque: ben_vulpes | but srs, "don'

☟︎☟︎☟︎ ben_vulpes: shinohai: today i didn'
t want to go to brunch, so lady v made me brunch before going out for her own.
ben_vulpes: but srs, "don'
t leave valuables in the vehicle" around these parts.
shinohai: Welp I don'
t think they are gonna mine their way back in the black punkman xD
mircea_popescu: the only way to extract function out of the kicking-and-screaming pile of "human cultural & civilisational heritage" is to use things it doesn'
t know yet. unknown file extensions. unknown protocols. what have you.
assbot: Logged on 29-10-2014 01:26:08; asciilifeform: and folks ask me wtf i mean when i say 'we don'
t have computers yet'
punkman: I didn'

mircea_popescu: gee, i guess all this preoccupation with kids in africa must be pretty fucking novel. they didn'
t give a shit about africa throughout.
mircea_popescu: <cazalla> i didn'
t realise how pervasive the tidal shit from mummy bloggers were until i began looking up baby related things online << this ironically is the first, and to date the most ample use of language. stupid women spreading their stupid whatever it is while pregnant and nursing.
pete_dushenski: and the comments themselves are exceedingly close to being relevant and don'
t contain a single outbound link
cazalla: pete_dushenski, can'
t say the same for the brussel sprouts, aphids made a meal of them all
shinohai: I don'
t mind the inquiry, sometimes I think perhaps I am too uneducated to even know the answer to that lol/
pete_dushenski: shinohai: leaving aside 'normal american' notions, how do ~you~ want to matter ? if you don'
t mind the inquiry
shinohai: I was told I didn'
t need my physical keyboard either, only a touchscreen. yeah.
shinohai: I find it rther liberating to know I don'
t matter and no one gives a shit what I say.
pete_dushenski: shinohai: remember, these 'others' aren'
t people in the sense that we are
shinohai: People don'
t know "what they want"
mircea_popescu: i estimate currently this sort of thing is 99% why we don'
t get more work submitted.
mircea_popescu: the friability of this thing, whereby i did something, i didn'
t observe the expected result, and don'
t know what to do is driving me fucking bonkers.
assbot: Logged on 02-09-2015 14:16:12; assbot: Logged on 10-12-2014 00:51:50; asciilifeform: mircea_popescu had an article (or perhaps a thread here? but can'
t seem to find it...) about an archetypical u.s. expat. fellow keeps a pub somewhere in thailand, or cambodia, etc. the locals - drink for free. he fancies that if he begins to run out of dough, he can always start charging. but somehow in the back of his head he knows what will happen to his sorry
☟︎ assbot: Logged on 04-09-2015 22:09:22; mircea_popescu: ascii_modem if women had thermite up their ass which blew up every time someone grabbed it, ~I~ wouldn'
t have any arms.
mircea_popescu: <ascii_field> ^ guess who and what isn'
t cited in this paper, l0l << omfg that is FUCKING RIDICULOUS.
trinque: eh I don'
t cry over that shit
trinque: shinohai: yeah I have pictures of the relevant stickers with all that, but don'
t give a siht
mircea_popescu: poor girl'd have holes through her butt, finger shaped, and collapse out of sheer exhaust of turning and saying "doin'
t do that" fifty million times.
mircea_popescu: and yes, much like the "don'
t thermite" thing, this worked fine in a world 1/50 as small and very deeply patriarchical.
mircea_popescu: (this event actually happened. splendid ass, /me grabs it, woman turns unamused and asks me what i'm doing, i retort that i'm innocently grabbing your ass, she says don'
t do that and i say alright.)
trinque: eh can'
t just come out blasting; say the guy's looking for his dumb toddler that wandered onto your porch
mircea_popescu: ascii_modem if women had thermite up their ass which blew up every time someone grabbed it, ~I~ wouldn'
t have any arms.
☟︎ trinque: bum wanders into my lawn; he doesn'
t necessarily deserve to be shot
mircea_popescu: (but in the original context it made a lot of sense. you really don'
t want to lose an arm because you innocently wandered into what you thought was a shop. because the patrimonial dispute thereby ensuing can be fixed, but the arm can not be reattached.)
trinque: on the plus side, less to unpack later; I wasn'
t going to bring furniture anyway, so these were mostly toys stolen
mircea_popescu: in short, without "acest articol are avantajul aliteralitatii alaturi", romanian doesn'
t even aliterate. at all.
mircea_popescu:
t we use ecc ? or pki ? they're "perfectly functional solutions" that "other people" have "come to expect" blablabla.
mircea_popescu: sure, one can pretend that "well, it's a country." if one wants to. but for foreigners, no, it isn'
t. it was an empire and now it's nothing. not even a hole.
mats: coinbr doesn'
t look up from over here
ascii_field: one example of 'military' feature would be, say, guidance via laser (or something else the opponent can'
t jam with $5 of components)
mats: what qualifies as 'military'? i don'
t believe the army operates any uas with arms
ascii_field: mats: not that it can'
t fly a frag. sop in donbass.
thestringpuller: Yes, Bitcoin will go up in value just by people holding it. That's how commodities work. I don'
t see anyone "using" gold.
ascii_field: ^ guess who and what isn'
t cited in this paper, l0l
ascii_field: ^ this one is actually necessary and if no one else does it, i will. but can'
t promise ~when~.
trinque: I don'
t use classes in python if I can avoid it, nor many other parts of the language
ascii_field: the real question is why should i even consider the matter. because i can'
t really see why i should not also consider flossing my teeth with barbed wire, if considering java.
phf: su/sudo vfs would be handy for copying files between users without having to adjust permissions or escalate to superuser. one pane is user foo, other pane is user bar. doesn'
t matter if foo's pane is in 700 folder, and if you were to copy, file will be created as belonging to user bar, with his umask applied
mircea_popescu: the way modern warfare works, you don'
t want planes and regular soldiers. you want missiles and partisans. and you don'
t aim to kill the enemy, you aim to maim as many as possible and encourage them to keep coming. the situation where US population is up 200mn and US war invalid population is up 50mn is a greater win for isis than the situation where the us population is 0.
mircea_popescu: "While I agree that not everyone is bad, I'll suggest that the number of bad people involved in bitcoin so far exceeds the number of bad people in other organizations that the whole system isn'
t working. I'm starting to consider whether people were wrong about the "decentralization" issue. Is it possible that decentralization was tried, and it is being proven right now that it simply doesn'

wilbns: was in new york a while back and at the airport, there were maybe a couple dozen guys, they all look like they just graduated high school. all w/ manila folders in hand, waiting, heading off to boot camp - all making small talk w/ one another. looked like they didn'
t know each other very well. was imaging how there lives were going to change and wondering if
