asciilifeform: 13:01 < kanzure> i mean not for the scihub content
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-30#1706296 << i suspect for all these mayweather friends of crypto it's a case of "free money on the table!". ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i'm at the edge of my chair with bated breath awaiting the imperial notion of the list.
spyked: speaking of orders, asciilifeform, estimated arrival date for icestick is ~beginning of november. later than I initially expected, but eh. plenty of time to study related literature & assorted items
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-30#1706243 << could be ordinary stupidity, could be -- wrecking. i can easily picture the derps campaigning for 'let's have btc amts as rationals!' so that eventually a tx weighs 100MB ( in which to represent the ever-cancerously growing ratio ) ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-08-30 08:36 spyked: to wit: 1. dorks plant pervasive spyhole in commodity hardware, "to catch terrorists" I suppose; 2. at some point someone figures out everyone can use it, not only "agencies"; 3. at some point (much later!) dorks figure out they can be used to spy on "agencies" too; 4. dorks finally add secret method to disable spyhole.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-30#1706252 << if you're actually convinced that 1) the published method fully and permanently disables the thing 2) it was the one and only fritzchip core in intelturd --- i got bridge to sellya. ☝︎

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> as i understand, all adrenergics are roughly similar ( in same way as all liquors, say ) in basic flavour of effect << Cocaine+MAOI=death Methamphetamine+MAOI=safe-ish
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> as if i fucking need to squeeze 120% out of a party. why ? if i like it that much ima just do it again nextweek, for +100%. << Gotta address the biohackers and their "Drugs are bad, let's edit the meat" crowd.
asciilifeform: ( by how much it loses, i leave as exercise for readers )
asciilifeform: me, i'd like direct diode-to-whatwe'recutting .
mircea_popescu: i guess. though you know, overclocking.
asciilifeform: i dun think i ever once set foot in a lab without a co2 tank
asciilifeform: i was speaking of properly lethal black coffee of course.
mircea_popescu: i think it might be a cultural thing. milk coffee was common breakfast kiddy thing in ro. i was amused to discover same is true in say nicaragua.
asciilifeform: depends on the drinker. iirc the particular locus even was found. i may even have read in kanzure's links some time last decade.
mircea_popescu: i dun recall it impressing.
asciilifeform: so happens that i remember my first cup of coffee, very well. but to drink it again !
asciilifeform: as i understand, all adrenergics are roughly similar ( in same way as all liquors, say ) in basic flavour of effect
mircea_popescu: i dun recall
mircea_popescu: i guess.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-30#1706104 << this view of cocaine is specific of the non-user. i never saw or heard of cocaine allowing more living per. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i thought elso was pretty cool...
kanzure: "Anyways, it doesn't actually do magic swole imparting without at least some exercise" not according to some studies. i mean it depends on how magic you're looking for.
BingoBoingo: No! I mean cocaine and trenbolone are drugs that allow people to experience more living in a year.
kanzure: (i mean her term sheet was garbage)
kanzure: i suggest using it to source anabolic steroids
kanzure: then i'll claim crappy peers
kanzure: i pretend to read many languages, does that count?
a111: Logged on 2017-08-29 16:23 asciilifeform: kanzure: mp insists that he 'has no goals', but i've got a few. one of them, is a 100% nato-free workstation comp.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-29#1705019 << this is just bad translation ; i can readily prove this by pointing out that if nato changed meaning so would your "goal". you're just pursuing some causes is all. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-29#1705038 <<< well obviously, that's the fucking point... i manage more of what people usualoly call results through NOT having goals than they ever do through having them. ☝︎
kanzure: i don't know why you are surprised or confused about any of this. you don't do this kind of butt sniffing? it's what dogs do.
kanzure: i thought i quoted it later. keep reading.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-29 16:02 kanzure: it's literally the answer i was given
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-29#1704978 << i suspect you misunderstood something. which line was this ? ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-08-29 15:58 asciilifeform: if -- as i understand -- you're a money man, kanzure , what the hell are you still doing in the heart of the shitreich ?
mircea_popescu: i can see that.
kanzure: i must have missed that one from alf
a111: Logged on 2017-08-29 15:56 kanzure: ugh i hope not. that would be the stupidest reason.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform come to think about it, i'm not so sure it's a lilly. different zap properties may prove interesting.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no i know, i just thought it'll payoff in lulz. it did.
mircea_popescu: i've yet to meet a technical mind that understood promotion. (worship is not understanding)
asciilifeform: i had an analogue unit at nih, worked fine
mircea_popescu: i thought the alt-tmsr you're trying to build was being discussed rather than your typing speed.
kanzure: words per minute. it's funny because i'm the fastest.
mircea_popescu: i'm sorry ?
kanzure: a few weeks i don't care
kanzure: well last update i got is that we're still testing it, maybe he hasn't configured shopify what a shame
mircea_popescu: so am i safe3 in assuming you never actually sold one ?

kanzure: i have someone else handling his online ordering system
a111: Logged on 2017-08-29 15:51 kanzure: i thin there are >1 kw laser diodes
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-29#1704926 << i was actually wondering about that. how exactly does it exist ? like, could i buy one ? is the bar of ontology here "i have a description of how it could be made" ? or "i have one in my kitchen and there's the lsit of how i made it" ? or "you can have one made for 20 bux, send here" ? or what ? ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-08-29 14:31 asciilifeform: i can't decide if this is more or less hilarious than gaseous food.
kanzure: i was talking about fenn yes, until i started mentioning peter madsen
mircea_popescu: kanzure i thought it was ben lipkowitz. what peter madsen ?
kanzure: small. he is into small dwellings i guess. who knows.
mircea_popescu: <@fenn> guh. so i've been thinking about building a boat so i can just put all my stuff in the boat and live in the boat and sail wherever i want to go << check that out asciilifeform ! he may wanna go halvsies on orlol's tub ?
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, <@fenn> nobody ever got rich by not asking for money << i don't recall my ever asking anyone.
mircea_popescu: what am i going to do with a bunch of pdfs.
kanzure: i had only 8 GB of junk?
a111: Logged on 2017-08-29 20:21 phf is mildly curious is mp is doing his "once i found a thing, i read the whole archive" thing on 5gb or whatever it is of their log..
kanzure: i haven't. just the graphs (that was one-off).
kanzure: mircea_popescu: this may amuse you as well. i have been documenting every conversation i've ever had since 2009, sort of a personal CRM system. i used to do some basic graphing: http://diyhpl.us/~bryan/irc/meetlog/2009-10-01_to_2010-03-01.png
BingoBoingo: Trinque isn't washing away for the same reason I didn't wash away this spring or winter of 2015. White priviledge.
trinque: I've got some decent pictures of the flooding
BingoBoingo: trinque: How's the weather? I heard the Army Corps of engineers dumped reservoir water into your flood waters
trinque: !!unrate kanzure guess I'll see where this goes
kanzure: i used a paperclip
kanzure: why can't i type urls right anymore
mircea_popescu: ah i guess there's that.
BingoBoingo: Ah fine, I'll start keeping the sawdust/bar oil slurry ☟︎
phf: i was half expecting to find an ivory there ^
asciilifeform: i made use of his work re sensitive amps. however must note that his original objective was.... listening to earth-devils, or sumthinglikeit
shinohai: mircea_popescu: I use olive oil to lite briquettes ..... always seems to work 1000% better
a111: Logged on 2016-03-17 02:50 asciilifeform: phf: i am long-time fan of howse.
phf: judging by his output of workshops and performances (as opposed to cool hacks and circuits) i'm pretty sure he's just sitting on nodick grants at this point. what happened to all his kind in merkle europe
phf: when bioware i'm always reminded of 1010 and his earth computer http://www.1010.co.uk/org/sketches.html (and similar attempts elsewhere on his site)
asciilifeform: whoever walked off with dulap-I can prolly replicate..
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i was speaking metaphorically! you know, whatever bio-stuff.
mircea_popescu: hey, i'd be absolutely exstatic if the wetware computing progressed along while we're busy with the hardware ones.
asciilifeform: 8-7 : 05:59 < fenn> i'm still unsure whether diybio is real
phf: (and in completely unrelated to anything lulz, i just discovered that the very first email in my email archive, june 2006 is an allegro lisp trial license)
phf: the wisdom of this joke is lost on me. though past few days the joke that's on my mind the most is, the one about shtirlitz: borman i shtirlitz pyut vmeste. borman govorit, "shtirlitz, a ved vi yevrey!" "Net!" govorit shtirlitz "Ya russkii!!!"
asciilifeform: kanzure: but you did not condemn the idiocy, in linked text. so i gotta wonder.
phf: my cousin asked me if i'm "into the whole bitcoin" thing, and mentioned that they now sell houses and stuff using btc. i said i heard about it..
asciilifeform: ( almost guarantee that i'll fry one when pinout finally materializes and it's time to plug'em in )
asciilifeform: i'd still trade with him, moar ivories, merrier
asciilifeform: he mentioned something about a funeral. ( in 2 month from now ! i've nfi )
shinohai: That would have been how *I* wrote it
phf: asciilifeform: speaking of doing things with limited resources. fyi i'm in zeptobar slav land with an ivory chip.
mircea_popescu: < kanzure> well who's at the top then << i am, aren't i.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i saw something similar re "philosophy". so let's ask again, you know, "Why is the FBI not focused on the soup"
mircea_popescu: phf i perceive he's trying. doesn't know how is separate issue.
phf: mircea_popescu: i actually think we had a thread. activity is either happening, and thus further cultivated (i.e. doers encouraged, talkers are shed, whatever the method), or else there's nothing happening at all. in a sense that you can't draw your pistol faster than your draw speed, so there's nothing really to worry about. i ~suspect~ that there's just no effective culling happening
asciilifeform: right after i sue microshit
asciilifeform: i used to do just that
