mircea_popescu: t incidentally, how recent are
these complains ? vandal seems
to have moved on maybe a week or
two ago.
ascii_modem: the whole robot war
thing -only- 'works' for usg or similar vs unarmed or max iron age folks
decimation: well,
that's
the obvious weak spot in a remote control aircraft
mircea_popescu: decimation is
this "proper secure comms"
thing like
the holy sacrament ?
decimation: re: air war attrition << manned aircraft are on
the way out anyway, with proper secure comms and a decent AI, a robot army of aircraft makes more sense
ben_vulpes: aside from experimentally kicking everyone one at a
time, logging in and finding
the culprit.
ben_vulpes: t: any chance you can make freenode autocloak people? i don't see
the value in exposing everyone's IPs.
t: ben_vulpes: oh, who does
that?
mircea_popescu: t let me find you
the relevant discussion in #freenode.
t: people keep
turning up complaining guys here are ddosing
them, so what's going on with
that?
ben_vulpes: it's one of
the more fun nodes in
the bitcoin arg.
t: ben_vulpes: so what's
the channel for?
decimation: lower
the powerful
to
their own level, and reduces men
to prefer equality in slavery
to inequality with freedom." - de
Tocqueville
decimation: ascii_modem: ephialtes doesnt care abou straightening own back - knows it's a fantasy - but happy
to
turn everyone else into hunchback. << "There is, in fact, a manly and lawful passion for equality which excites men
to wish all
to be powerful and honoured.
This passion
tends
to elevate
the humble
to
the rank of
the great; but
there exists also in
the human heart a depraved
taste for equality, which impels
the weak
to attempt

t: so, what's bitcoin-assets all about
then?
kakobrekla: [22:04:12] * assbot gives voice
to ben_vulpes
ben_vulpes: "no u guise seriously i do everything
the way lizard hitler insists"
ben_vulpes: <ascii_modem> [19:31:50]
these are not convertible
to btc except via humiliating pederast
temples << lol i love
this routine
mircea_popescu: sort-of like
the misbehaving nerd who imagines his school experience is life experience. "oh, he wouldn't REALLY punch me in
the face."
ben_vulpes: going so far as
to build planes and fleets purpose designed
to be vulnerable
to swarm attacks.,
ben_vulpes: usg seems
to be going out of its way
to avoid anything smart with drones.
ben_vulpes: unmanned vehicles can pull arbitrary g loads, and be made across
the spectrum of capability in a way
that
the manned vehicles currently aren't (probably couldn't be, due
to procurement processes).
mircea_popescu: was carried out by men
that didn't even own
the fucking plane
they used.
mircea_popescu: incidentally,
the most successful airstrike in human history
ben_vulpes: the limit of
this curve has some interesting hints for
the future of air combat.
ben_vulpes: bamboo suicide planes,
the stories hold.
mircea_popescu: but
to be a warlike country
that'd require warlike men. and
that is not something
the current us can support.
mircea_popescu: the correct focus, when it comes
to airfight, is cheapness. as
the germans well proved, and
then
the allies well learned from
them.
mircea_popescu: in
this sense, like
the flying submarine or
the pocket
tank, it's pure nonsense.
mircea_popescu: this plain fact meeting
the us' unwillingness
to actually fight created a mirage :
the jet fighter
that's not really a jet fighter
mircea_popescu: air war is by its nature an attrition war. airplanes are made
to be destroyed, fundamentally.
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo:
the point is
that "stealth" merely reduces
the cross section, doesn't render
things invisible.
BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> "that 2x2
thing up at 30kft moving at mach 1.8 couldn't *possibly* be an airplane!" << I
though it couldn't get anywhere near
that fast because it is
too fat.
ben_vulpes: come now,
the obsession with stealth is a great indicator of how moronic US armsmithing's become.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes
the discussion can't possibly reach
those merits,
mircea_popescu: the problem of f-35 is "transgender rights" and "women in
tech" and "check your priviledge"
ben_vulpes: "that 2x2
thing up at 30kft moving at mach 1.8 couldn't *possibly* be an airplane!"
mircea_popescu: this constant
trying
to unload blame for very personal, very peculiar, very speciffic and very narrow incompetence and idiocy on facts of math, physics and
the world generally is ridoinculous.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform, ascii_modem: i'll get
to know it eventually. only now beginning
to dabble with McCLIM at gabriel_laddel's suggestion.
ascii_modem: see classic
text 'art of
the metaobject protocol'
ascii_modem: with
the possible exception of its immediate ancestor, 'flavours'
ascii_modem: for
the record, 'clos' is, as of
today,
the only non-retarded incarnation of
that concept yet built
☟︎ mircea_popescu: or perhaps you're going
to entertain polite doubt as
to
the proper count of
three beads
to better fit with
the lazy posing as retarded ?
mircea_popescu: adlai: for
the record, i
think
that's a shame and a sin, and
that y'all are a little silly for
this << do explain.
ascii_modem: meanwhile, something is standing between
these folks and
the lampposts
mircea_popescu: i'll hang
them, with or without discussion, with or without "the public", once it's ripe. how's
the "works" dust going
to do anything either way
then ?
mircea_popescu: you're proposing it works
to
the multitudes,
this is a
test of political will.
ascii_modem: i'll say it stopped working when, e.g., pentagon missile is discussed - at a
tribunal, followed by hangings
mircea_popescu: so
this magical dust "works" except it doesn't but it's okay because when it doesn't
the shaman didn't really want it
to ?
mircea_popescu: and all his dingy scams selling gold and other crap
to mentally disabled senior citizens goes by flying.
mircea_popescu: and currently it's "working" on rush limbaugh, and it's working so well
the guy's audience's never been better
mircea_popescu: gimme a break will you, or else ima summon preet
the friendly parrot
to bar you from referencing stuff happening 20 years ago
mircea_popescu: all
through, and years before, and years after
they
tried
this "works"
thing.
mircea_popescu: but forget about me for a second. drudge beheaded clinton,
the libtards' most beloved president (mostly because he destroyed banks and everyone's savings
to put 100k black bums in houses
they can't afford and meanwhile destroeyd)
mircea_popescu: looking forward
to more of
the "oh mp is such a conspiracy nut" stuff.
mircea_popescu: yet another one of
those very useful contributions of contributirs contributing.
ascii_modem: airplane << notice
the sop 'dailymailization'
tactic
BingoBoingo: <ascii_modem>
these are not convertible
to btc except via humiliating pederast
temples << Local "Rent
to Own" Chumpatron reportedly sells BTC via something called LibertyX Seems
to fit
the definition of Pederast
temple
mircea_popescu: wait wait, so one of
the miusing planes WAS ACTUALLY SHOT BY
THE US ?
ascii_modem: these are not convertible
to btc except via humiliating pederast
temples

mircea_popescu: but if you just bought it, you just bought howevermany needed. 100 or 0.1, same
thing
to you, just a
token
mircea_popescu: (i'm somehow confused as
to how
the slackening btc affects you anyway, not like
the conference became more expensive ?!)
