mircea_popescu: it's worse. apricot doesn't even mean cunt in russian
asciilifeform: it isn't
mircea_popescu: he didn't say fucking stout
mircea_popescu: dude, say cunts if you mean cunts. don't say fucking apricots when your ideas require you say cunt ffs.
asciilifeform: i don't suppose there is anything unusual about this tx ?
mircea_popescu: see if you figure out wtf is wrong with it because i can't see it
asciilifeform: i've seen this called 'bush effect', after the re-election of bush II in '04. a crowd of people whined re: 'how did he win, i don't know anyone who voted for him'
mircea_popescu: yes, you wouldn't. i also don't know anyone who shops at hot topic. or at kfc.
asciilifeform: i don't personally know ~anyone~ who uses the 'official' version
mircea_popescu: i'm sorta half-surprised they're not trying to sue me for using "an unauthorised wordpress fork" which doesn't have all the fucking holes.
mircea_popescu: didn't just carelessly left it in
mircea_popescu: the ddos sources don't simply exist, like rocks. they were put there, like roads.
ben_vulpes: don't be chewing tacks over there.
mircea_popescu: of course, the people trying to get that to work (davout, jurov, etc) aren't getting that much support yet.
mircea_popescu: but in any case : it's not clear we can't stick it in pogo. so... there is that.
trinque: The situation wasn't helped any when the program's senior officer, Lt. Col. Odin Lieberman, was relieved of command after an internal investigation discovered that he had instructed his team to falsify records to make the Osprey look safer than they actually were. << heh, he expected that this wouldn't become apparent?
asciilifeform: http://gizmodo.com/the-president-gets-a-personal-osprey-hes-not-allowed-t-1108783801 << relevant, lulzy
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-08-2015#1256316 << i saw a working 'osprey' for the first time a few weeks ago. my first thought was 'wish i weren't stuck in traffic under that thing' ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 30-08-2015 00:40:20; pete_dushenski: sikorsky sea king helicopter for gw ? sounds ruskie (yes, i know it isn't)
pete_dushenski: sikorsky sea king helicopter for gw ? sounds ruskie (yes, i know it isn't) ☟︎
pete_dushenski: don't ask me how
gabriel_laddel: "god fucking forbid i ask for the best rum in the world (centenario anejo especial) because they don't import it from nearby costa rica" << lol
mircea_popescu: they got badly faked mumm, they don't got the local stuff. and god fucking forbid i ask for the best rum in the world (centenario anejo especial) because they don't import it from nearby costa rica
mircea_popescu: they carry all the fucktarded imported us shit i wouldn't pour in my drain. beefeather ? srsly ? to what, kill lice with ?
hanbot: you don't like liver?
asciilifeform: don't have to like liver, to use it
gabriel_laddel: and here I was under the impression stas didn't like penis.
pete_dushenski: ;;later tell bingoboingo no real opinion of lifted minitrucks. lifting isn't really my thing, per se. but i can see the appeal.
mircea_popescu: it's really unfortunate they don't do presentation anymore.
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=29-08-2015#1256216 << indubitably. wouldn't mind reading a trilema on this basis. ☝︎
moonpunter: eh. i think your life is defined by your achievements. nothing against those with a lot, nothing against those with nothing. nothing against helping others by choice. etc. i just don't feel strongly about any of it. spend too much time selfishly focusing on my own life, i thinks.
mircea_popescu: and i don't think i've not gotten scammed for any item i bought or service i hired since at least 1875.
assbot: Logged on 29-08-2015 18:28:39; mircea_popescu: greatness doens't get to skip a generation./
assbot: Logged on 29-08-2015 21:45:00; mircea_popescu: asciilifeform also im pretty sure power didn't actually fail. derpy kids doing things to fix things etc.

assbot: Logged on 29-08-2015 02:48:54; mircea_popescu: dulap may be the latest piece of software in actual use that doesn't actually benefit from periodic rebooting
assbot: Logged on 29-08-2015 02:47:55; mircea_popescu: i think the latter kids don't really grok this "don't reboot machine " thing
asciilifeform: punkman: since you asked, it also doesn't hurt to point out that both phuctor and the node MUST HAVE reasonably-cpu-and-ram-rich PHYSICAL machine.
asciilifeform: i, on the other hand, donated my spare time, of which i don't actually have very much.
asciilifeform: can't exactly charge the ships, for the light.
asciilifeform: this is YET AGAIN the 'can't charge for sunlight' thing !!
asciilifeform: recall that we don't exactly have a deterministic system here.
punkman: also thinking of making a fork that doesn't mine/wallet
mod6: punkman: naw, i haevn't had a chance yet. i'll get to it though, it's on my list.
danielpbarron: i made a binary but i didn't execute it
mod6: chettty & mircea_popescu: btw, eulora seems to be functioning well since changes. although, i don't use any automation in there. just good ole hard rock minin' by hand. with a mule^H^H^H^Himproved pickaxe.
punkman: mod6: I tested stator on Mint. didn't leave it running for full sync though
asciilifeform: or, more appropriately to the case at hand, 'program pc or don't program'
asciilifeform: and it also turns out that for some reason the folks who are very excellent at non serviam - don't program. (napoleon's work in geometry notwithstanding...)
phf: sure, korolev was tested by that limit, and i'm not in his position, so i can't say "сука буду i've offed myself", but when the choice is between doing csv and sexp for a customer..
phf: <asciilifeform> ben_vulpes: take me to this planet of 'healthy relationships.' << i am equally confused by this position. non serviam doesn't necessarily need to translate to its extreme expression. if you're that figured out how to push the lever, i think the last option that you can possibly have is to keep pushing the lever for others. once you accept it to its logical conclusion, are you not free to do as you please?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: actually don't be so sure. it is almost certainly possible to shorten it.
trinque: it's rather dumb, doesn't watch for blocks in the log, though that'd be nice
asciilifeform: and they won't even be able to eat my corpse, wrong-chirality proteins
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: can't, you'd poison 'em.
mod6: I'm currently working on the SoBA to close out the month, would like to point at the vdiff.sh that creats w/o timestamps in the document. Only reason that I bring it up. Thanks for taking a look. Wasn't sure if I missed it somehow.
punkman: asciilifeform: trinque: go and sell 'it' if it doesn't read&write microshit excel format. i'll watch. << I've written lots of these, it's called .csv
mod6: so i see, obv., the one that was submitted with The Full Orchestra, but i don't see your updated one that looks like:
asciilifeform: same reason you won't get to be 'the next exxon'
asciilifeform: trinque: it isn't about 'perfect' but about eschewing pederasty.
trinque: why can't it?
asciilifeform: trinque: go and sell 'it' if it doesn't read&write microshit excel format. i'll watch.
phf: graham and naggum are probably not the best examples of lispers. graham wrote cgi scripts for clisp in vi and had unhealthy obsession with macros, did a web startup and sold it at the right time. naggum if he was a little bit dumber would've just been a kook, considering his completely insane angry rants. (and i learned a lot from naggum, but i don't think the manner of his death was a surprise)
asciilifeform: it isn't especially interesting to talk about, imho
assbot: Logged on 22-05-2015 06:54:48; mircea_popescu: the idea here being that people wouldn't pay for a sane os for the same reason they won't payfor the sun.
asciilifeform: and wouldn't know anything useful to add
trinque: that speaks more to the "for free" than to the work, doesn't it?
asciilifeform: ~i~ don't have time to sit and issue 'licenses' to 10,000,000 schmucks
asciilifeform: (on a sane planet, you won't need lawsuits to enforce this. no reasonable person will run code that doesn't have a wot signature)
ben_vulpes: nah, we don't traditional courts.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i also can't help but laugh a bit at the phrase 'modern nixy proggies' - we're sorta stuck in 1968 state of the art...
asciilifeform: the trick is that it wasn't c-on-cmachine
asciilifeform: as he doesn't have the hardware
asciilifeform: depending on who you ask - it worked. or didn't.
trinque: and wouldn't a human leader also be said to have a biological function?
trinque: perhaps it's a question like "why doesn't the queen bee have to haul all this pollen?"
asciilifeform: whatever else 'vory' might do, notice how they don't ever appear to build orbital launchers ?
asciilifeform: pan troglodytes doesn't seem to differ much from human schoolboy re: organization
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: and, preferably, something that doesn't make me think of http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=19-08-2015#1243116 ☝︎
asciilifeform: who wouldn't wanna join that.
asciilifeform: it was a kind of animal demo of why 'atlas' doesn't ever actually 'shrug'
asciilifeform: but where? can't recall.
mircea_popescu: can't blame a man for "stealing" from this lot,
asciilifeform: didn't say that it skipped.
mircea_popescu: greatness doens't get to skip a generation./ ☟︎
mircea_popescu: (/me is still unpersuaded anyone involved in lisp to date isn't an idiot)
phf: <mircea_popescu> http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=29-08-2015#1255201 << is that soft pr0n on his monitor ? << yes, i didn't actually notice until i posted, probably a 2ch gag ☝︎
asciilifeform: so i ended up thinking 'if i'm stuck with a $maxint system where i can't hold a conversation with civilians because no one else has the runtime, may as well requisition 'mathematica'...' - so i did
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: just doesn't understand How The Werld Werks (tm)
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: y'know, you don't have to make the 'people' write programs. could send them to, e.g., make you coffee, while you write commonlisp
assbot: Logged on 07-02-2015 02:20:39; the_scourge: 'Emacs actually comes with a builting Emacs Aptitude Test. Do you remap your keyboard or the Emacs keybindings before the chords and sequences it comes with by default have wreaked havoc with your hands? If you do not do anything to make Emacs more convenient for yourself, you may not have the prerequisite aptitude to use it productive.' (naggum, who else. http://www.xach.com/na < funny, that's one of t
mircea_popescu: you can't really have anything even resembling homeostasis in systems without contrary forces.
mircea_popescu: and no, "what's sensible with a narrow view may be insane from a broader perspective" doesn't hold because "every sperm is sacred" and assorted nonsense
trinque: so I don't think I disagree, just that "who says it's reckless?"
trinque: I wasn't, but I see the sense in it.
trinque: if that, I don't see immediately how it could be an advantage.
mircea_popescu: fortunately the point is exactly that bitcoin doesn't work like that.
refferedbyloper: son't be mean, but be paranoid :) i'm just lurking around reading logs
asciilifeform: doesn't seem to be doing much with this one.
asciilifeform: umm no he isn't
