mircea_popescu: trinque i imagine dood just didn't know how to proceed and too weird to ask.
trinque: at any rate, the thing's HORRIBLY NAMED AND DEFINED class tree is bad enough; I don't think I'd ever sign anything that introduces yet another atop.
trinque: in the process, realized I oughta publically denounce something in the funkenstein importprivkey/dumpprivkey patch ☟︎

mircea_popescu: this a) re an ip that hasn't sent any mail in the past i dunno, six months ? and b) from the phuctor people.
asciilifeform: i vaguely suspect that 'sane hoster' is a contradition similar to 'sane miner'
mircea_popescu: why exactly i am still paying fucking fiatola ugstani retards to host servers for me when there's a whole lot of supposedly competent, supposedly business oriented and not yet entirely senile bright minds also an open question
mircea_popescu: the wireball idea is sound ; the rest of the crap... notrly. i'd say it's been already fully recorded as is. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: no idea why, i mean you fucking owned the item, and you coudl actually buy replacement resistences for it.
asciilifeform: presumably these were also used in n00kz ( they were used in konsoomer items for some unknown to me reason, i have a calculator still with virginal seal on bolts )
asciilifeform: in veeery other lulz, https://www.ebay.com/i/142506150167
shinohai: I should star charging for requests to jhvh1
BingoBoingo: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-13#1713937 << I suppose I'll have to add "write great novel romance novel 'Sally Hemmings And The Widower'" to agenda ☝︎
mircea_popescu: shinohai i actually don't mind it, it's sort of like trying to write only in aliterations.
mircea_popescu: um. i spoke french before i spoke english.
asciilifeform: i thought the sun item was a wink at the fact that statistic is an inference tool, not divine revelation
shinohai: I thought "The Sun also rises" was Heningway work
shinohai: No reason at all. asciilifeform is lucky to have petz, as am I.
mircea_popescu: http://68.media.tumblr.com/f3e231e4b02fbeedcd44811027eb3f7c/tumblr_nvgh93W86o1sjfoovo1_500.gif << i take it everyone knows the "guys, change the corpse in 3B, it's full" joke ?
shinohai: *poof* I'm gone
shinohai: Good for the both of us I guess
shinohai: mod6: she reads the logs too, after I translate them.
shinohai: I'm sure mircea_popescu 's slaves could do the same.
mircea_popescu: i dun think so!
shinohai: Am I reverting to redditardness?
mircea_popescu: i think we were busy with actually interesting things.
asciilifeform: lol somehow i pictured phf as one of the folx who operates in burst mode, reads log for 8h marathon every 5wks or sumthing
mircea_popescu: WILL THIS SHIT END SO I CAN GET OUT BEFORE SUNUP!
phf: asciilifeform: i haven't had a chance to meet with zeptobars guy yet, but will do before the end of my visit
asciilifeform: i.e. crt gun transformer
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in english i think called 'flyback'
mircea_popescu: i was thinking of the rsatron
phf: asciilifeform: yeah, it was a very niche thing. a sort soviet retro future exhibit that somehow survived through the 90s. i don't quite remember what else was there, plasma globes, various magnet accentuated magnetic liquids, that sort of stuff
phf: https://polymus.ru/ru/museum/news/eksponat-golograficheskiy-kot-i-drugie/
asciilifeform: ( or dunno, maybe would be even sadder today if i had... )
asciilifeform: phf: sadly i've never been there
a111: Logged on 2017-09-13 20:00 asciilifeform: some folx make holographs today, in their cellars, it is i suspect the same attraction. rather like colour film in 1930s
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-13#1713800 << one of the appeals of VDNH back in the day was a tucked-in-the-corner collection of Denisyuk holograms. so i went there again, place is almost a shell at this point, BUT one of the buildings was taken over by polytechnical museum, not only did they make a rather nifty science (without quotes!) museum but they also preserved all those old holograms. i suspect i wasn't the only one who loved ☝︎
mircea_popescu: that part i believe ; but as to the science rather than the engineering of it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i've been laying it out on paper since he posted. any way i cut it, thus far, it costs moar than the classical .
a111: Logged on 2017-09-13 18:06 asciilifeform: ideallly. i don't have a fixedtime reciprocal finder.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-13#1713551 << i don't think his notion is without merit, incidentally. there may be something there. ☝︎
asciilifeform: ( there is a legit reason why, but i will leave it as exercise for readers )
asciilifeform: this is when i point out that div0 gives maxint in ffa ( at least naked ffa, without checking first )
mircea_popescu: this is nonsense, but i won't delve into why.
a111: Logged on 2017-09-13 17:31 trinque: divide by zero joke; I'll show myself out
phf: i missed that somehow
mircea_popescu: (i take it everyone's seen cocksucker blues ?)
mircea_popescu: phf you know, for all the foibles, 1970s pop icons DID try a sort of very brusque, uninformed and "hi i come from the trailer park" alf-boat. hence cocksucker blues and the large touring busses.
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-13#1713586 << i'm pretty sure that's even in logs: we've concluded that ideal ascii item is a moog like thing, installed on a Nautilus ☝︎
mircea_popescu: also lulzy, in simiular vein, though i wouldn't for a moment call it "capitalist hell". it is pure and simple collapse among the symbols, as typified in teh elevator scene.
mircea_popescu: oh i see!
mircea_popescu: you can not mark them for the latter, i guess, but the point must be made that no, NOTHING EVER STOPS.
asciilifeform: i dun think anybody ever translated'im
mircea_popescu: da fuck is wrong with people these days, i do not know, but i do recall as early teens, 12 yo or so, there was this very exciting moment in school when they imported AN AMERICAN!!! to do some english classes. this was you know, wild wild stuff at the time.
asciilifeform: it's how i learned'em
asciilifeform: i threw out egyptian multer very reluctantly, it was so short an' sweet
mircea_popescu: and since i've this piled in here : to ~multiply~ 349087340 by 3059056 : you create a list 22 items long, that is 29 + 22 bits wide, and you proceed writing down 1 0100 1100 1110 1010 0110 0110 1100 in it bit-shifted 22 times, nulled on occasion. then you add these terms. right ?
asciilifeform: for i in 1 .. Dividend'Length * Bitness loop ...
mircea_popescu: oh i see what you mean.
asciilifeform: i.e. shifts by 1
mircea_popescu: this is the stupidest shit i ever heard. gimme two numbers.
asciilifeform: ( precisely how to do this, i have not yet determined )
asciilifeform: but i still gotta massage the divider
mircea_popescu: i can't say that i know. what complexity is our current item ?
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-13#1713808 << i did assume that d00d read the current coad ☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i know that aerogel ain't a maxwell's demon, lol
a111: Logged on 2015-01-18 21:18 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: head-worn displays are considered, by usg, to be key military tech (all existing manufacturers of serious - i.e. svga and above units - supply usg exclusively)
asciilifeform: some folx make holographs today, in their cellars, it is i suspect the same attraction. rather like colour film in 1930s ☟︎
asciilifeform: i recall seeing it in print, even
mircea_popescu: and laplace existed BECAUSE OF THIS not because "i fucking love science" and "you like nerds, fuck one" ie "we want to get more science".
asciilifeform: i can picture it. and specifically what mircea_popescu meant, re 'craftsmanship' tech as opposed to industrial/scalables
asciilifeform: i recall the automata, von kempelen et al
asciilifeform: i thought those were late 19th c tech tho
mircea_popescu: but on the significance front i asked because the principal preoccupation of the russian tsar afrter the french went stupid was to rescue as much of the old world industry stack as possible, which is how jhe ended up with swiss, austrian, french etc manufacturers.
mircea_popescu: anyway, since nobody apparently got the faberge egg bait, let's put it in the logs. so yes on the substance front i asked alf if he knows what it is because it is in fact stained glass, except with gold instead of lead and porcelain instead of glass, ie just like his properly cast key, piston-and-typeface in metal, bulk in porcelain.
a111: Logged on 2017-09-13 19:21 mircea_popescu: way the fuck cheaper socially than my stricter "i will only have children in a society where i get to decide if they live or die"
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-13#1713729 << this is not even a correct statement. more properly "i will desist killing all my offspring before gestation completes if and only if my sovereign right to kill them at any time is socially recognized". ☝︎☟︎
trinque: I can see that point
mircea_popescu: way the fuck cheaper socially than my stricter "i will only have children in a society where i get to decide if they live or die" ☟︎
trinque: but no, I'm sure she'd have rather blacklivesmattered loudly somewhere dressed in walmart rags
mircea_popescu: what exactly am i asked to believe, that woman whose name only exists because she was bought by jefferson family somehow had other priorities ? like what, sexual congress with the black males ? odds are she'd have rather fucked a donkey.
mircea_popescu: all the dogs i ever met were thrilled to be scratched behind ears whenever and whichever way you felt like, the warm glow of "omfg, i am being handled BY HUMAN!!!" visibly overpowering all "thoughts" such as they had in their dog brain.
a111: Logged on 2017-09-13 15:43 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-13#1713468 << i'm still waiting for the brezhnev-yeltsin state-of-the-art to come back -- guard with tranquilizer gun, 'oh she felt unwell'
asciilifeform: i've yet to meet anybody who disassembles engine just for the hell of it
