mircea_popescu: hey did http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-28#1875888 actually come to anything ? can i finally invoice that coin an' a half ? ☝︎☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: previous thinking was generally that a regrind pretty much means collapsing a whole tree into a single genesis patch. but thinking about it i don't see why that has to be the case, if there's the hands to do more fine work. ☟︎☟︎
a111: Logged on 2018-10-08 18:50 diana_coman: in other possible interesting things: I got invited to give a talk to students at local uni (Reading, UK) on "bitcoin and blockchain"; personally I'm not all that keen on it but given the recent ideas regarding reach out and all that, I am at least considering this; any input on this is welcome
diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-08#1859582 -> following up on this, the presentation will happen next Monday (10th December), 4.15pm GMT; it's one hour only so I'm not that sure there will be enough time to get online at the end of it but who knows, maybe some students will actually get it and even... do something with it ☝︎
spyked: anyway, I got the c101pa because I need a lightweight machine for travelling. so I might as well assess whether it's possible to build a somewhat sane system on it for productive work.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-29 14:51 asciilifeform: presently, cuntoo won't run there (even if trinque's process can be coaxed into building arm64 bins) cuz it has no way of blessing the kernel.
spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-29#1875947 <-- hm. so I'm seeing a few distinct problems here. 1. de-googlifying the bootloader (and getting rid of the cr50 mess); 2. using a non-googlistic kernel; and 3. replacing the rootfs with a cuntoo userspace. if I understood correctly, then 2 depends on googlistic signing software because of 1, but 3 should be doable either way (if anything, ave1's compiler is a more immediate requirement to get ☝︎☟︎
spyked: ^ phf, could pl0x add patches in http://lucian.mogosanu.ro/src/botworks/v/ to http://btcbase.org/patches ?

BingoBoingo: And congrats on getting rid of that digestive dead end
hanbotectomy: ty, they're telling me all's as expected
hanbotectomy will keep noise to a minimum, not even sure what's in her IV bag atm
hanbotectomy: howdy, thanks BingoBoingo, greetings all from the laproscopic appendectomy recovery chamber.!
asciilifeform raged. hence prepared microscope slide with the thing in formaldehyde, for if anyone ever walks in bukovsky to link.. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'll take your words, it's so pure it's giving me hives, ima stop before rage.
mircea_popescu: "He used to regard our conspiratorial fussing with the indulgent air of a grown dog watching puppies at play." << which is why they were looking for "bold" taciturns. "oh look, as close to adults without adults we can get!"
asciilifeform: i dun think i've ever encountered as pure a description of subj.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this sounds like the kanzure klub.
mircea_popescu: "Afterward, at the next assembly, you had to recommend him and present him to the others under an assumed name. If no one objected, he became a member of the organization and joined in the common work." << how the fuck would anyone object ? THEY HAVE NFI WHO IT IS.
asciilifeform: hole without doughnut, iirc is the technical term.
mircea_popescu: what the fuck is this supposed to be! the junior mint dating club ?
mircea_popescu: "Naturally he at once sounded you out about the possibilities, and you gravely and meaningfully gave him to understand that intelligent people didn’t discuss such nonsense; that the organization didn’t have any political aims. “Aha!” he would nod enthusiastically, hastening to make it clear that he too was an intelligent man and realized you couldn’t talk about such things aloud."
mircea_popescu: jesus this is infuriatingly stupid.
mircea_popescu: #1, enough gumption to go up to her and ask, distinguishes 9yo from 15 yo ; #2, criminal connections, distinguishes incel from bf.
mircea_popescu: it's basic shit test even fucking today in gringolandia. go up to girl in bar, "hey baby, wanna leave together ?" 80% or so odds she comes back with "can you get drugs" in some shape or form.
mircea_popescu: peppered with the usual "elected impotence" bs. "make sure they have no criminal connections ?!" what the everloving fuck, no male's worth two bits if he doesn't at least KNOW the local boss wtf.
asciilifeform: it was good for 0, is what piece was about. wasn't even good enuff to get him collared, he had to make a new one for that.
mircea_popescu: i dunno why they do this stupid woman thing. the only thing this "organization" is good for is to report which shop now has flour. or w/e, "unde s-o bagat lapte", where's the cheap kid shoes, stuff of this nature.
asciilifeform: a+ entomological slide tho.
mircea_popescu: what, you're totally going to "introduce leader to me and vanish", that's so utterly how i work.
asciilifeform: or the oregon ranchers etc
mircea_popescu: it definitely sounds like the "neonazi" morons would have come up with, yes. bois with 0 life experience.
mircea_popescu: all the "we're project managers and this is our sikrit club" wank ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the guy has a solid point, continuing with the "soviet republic is actual republic" notions became well impossible for thinking man in the 50s. the whole trotsky thing hadn't done it, but by the time of hungartian uprising...
mircea_popescu: "tired of living" is larger concept than commonly realised.
BingoBoingo: Sure, matter taken from black lives will occasionally burn a QuikTrip gas station in the heat of passion, but... the UStards just aren't social enough to organize on their own
asciilifeform: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/NvtlH/?raw=true << the imho somewhat interesting gibblet of his mega-b00k.
asciilifeform: in misc lulz, i located an eng translation of bukovsky. historically i've avoided reading him, couldn't get past the fact that he not only ran off to 'anti-sov' for usg, but works there with gusto ~today~.
BingoBoingo: Seriously. Of course it comes with the realization that popular fever dreams aside, the US tards don't appear to be as capable as the French
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo top keks.
deedbot: http://qntra.net/2018/12/french-anti-macron-protests-beginning-to-look-like-revolution/ << Qntra - French Anti-Macron Protests Beginning To Look Like Revolution
mircea_popescu: gotta start somewhere, and it ain't gonna be the you're/your distinction.
BingoBoingo: Because this "dab rig" https://66.media.tumblr.com/0c9c3ca71d6f2a005914176d604762c9/tumblr_mxpxm2FwMg1qijtl7o1_400.gif totally isn't just a really smooth crack pipe
BingoBoingo: That plus a little bit Monsanto 710 (apparently 710 is replacing 420 among anglotards because instead of smoking week they vaporize Monsanto weed oils like crack)
mircea_popescu: hey, it's what hilary teaches in dem "universities" now.
BingoBoingo: But still the juxtaposition "its Mexicans people have the bad wrap that you deserve" to "Nooooo your costa rican so your a fucking spik. You Spaniard bred fucks."
BingoBoingo: "we had technologies and mathematics from higher beings" << LOL, We Waz Kangz!
BingoBoingo: HAHAHA, just got to the spik rant
mircea_popescu: semites are indo-european too!
mircea_popescu: it's so fucking funny tho, utterly fucktarded pantsuit moron imagining "india" is a definite reference to something, "nation of africa" style, and then, if that weren't enough, adding "armenian" to it. because yes, totally, the armenians, those indian fucks.
mircea_popescu: is this like that time kramer saved the half-man half-pig army mutant ?
BingoBoingo: "you come from a culture of pigosadism" << This Pigosadism could be a fun word
mircea_popescu: how the fuck is agriculture an industry now ?
BingoBoingo: "stop fucking up the weed industry" << LOL
mircea_popescu: by now they're pretty entertaining, this last crop of femfricans.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in today's dose of elaborate #metoo #thinker files, http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/x4Yp0/?raw=true ☟︎
mircea_popescu: kinda how this works.
asciilifeform: stalin had an imho quite prophetic uttering, 'when i'm buried they will pile shit sky high on my grave, but wind of history will blow it away' .
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-02#1877821 << it apparently aint in the log, as such. but iirc there was some pantsuit reddit-wank campaign to try an' turn mircea_popescu into a sort of 'mad beria' in 'eye of history' or somesuch nonsense, that was supposed to pin on that phrase ☝︎
asciilifeform: orc political theatre has this quality, where they get carried away and lose all sight of plausibility / lifelike sin, and create a 'french, british, and japanese spy coprophagiac cannibal rapist' .
asciilifeform: ( didja know... he had a '#metoo'-style parade of chix, even, for the occasion, 'he raped! and i saw meat grinder! and he coprophagia'd!' etc. x9000 )

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-02#1877819 << i saw the film and quite familiar with the 'mad beria' ~stereotype~. simply was not able to find any evidence for it that doesn't genesis-block in hrusch's show trial and Official 'unmasking' . ☝︎
asciilifeform: nao, on other hand, 'cyclical histories' where 'confederacy of dunces' gangs up and dethrones their betters, and then whole edifice turns to shit, from shit grows sumthing new, etc. -- this i can buy, we're quite evidently in the trough of that sinusoid just nao ☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: poul anderson had a hilarious novella, 'brainwave', where people were quite like your crabs in that there turned out to be a 'stupidity field' surrounding our chunk of galaxy, which came and went. but i dun know of any real-life reason to introduce that hypothesis.
BingoBoingo: !Qlater tell ben_vulpes Here's the requested numbers, enjoy http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/pfgtX/?raw=true
mircea_popescu: "all the crab kings at the times of high tide were great crabs and great kings... whereas at low tide..." "dude, you live in a tidal ecosystem!" "wut ?"
a111: Logged on 2018-12-02 03:55 asciilifeform: whereas their predecessors' results speak for themselves.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-02#1877782 << the risky part of "results speak for themselves" is that well... "clinton fixed the economy". cause and effect not always readily associable in complex systems. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-12-02 00:31 asciilifeform: hrm, where even was that thing. could've sworn it was in log.
mircea_popescu: eaucratic bonacelli are icons of mental dysfunction to a bosch-like level.)

mircea_popescu: so much so as to even inform the specific choice of casting.
mircea_popescu: i dunno if you've seen p p pasolini's salo, but i always thought cataldi's role ("the bishop") was specifically patterned after beria.
mircea_popescu: demented means something akin to "this computer is waltzing the ram", not something akin to "this computer is displaying stuff not within code of conduct".
a111: Logged on 2018-12-01 23:41 asciilifeform: i'm prolly the wrong fella to do it tho, very much not unbiased, i'll still like the character even if time machine supplies incontrovertible proof that he was a cannibal and ate hot chix erry morning for breakfast
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-01#1877727 << note for the record that the argument isn't whether he ate them or not. the argument is whether he had functional behaviours under his own control or not. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: turns out... 0 items needed my attention since your last comment, on the 28th. a bunch auto-marked though.
a111: Logged on 2018-12-01 20:04 asciilifeform enhanced the spam trap a little bit
a111: Logged on 2018-12-01 19:33 BingoBoingo: Anyways, the biggest threat to parked cars is people parking their own cars. According to local lore plastic bumpers make vechicles immune to low speed collision damage and so when parking local will force a parking spot into existence
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-01#1877381 << fucktards do that in italy, too. will push the car round the fucking block during a few hours. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-12-01 19:21 asciilifeform: btw a very good chunk of the present-day cad monopoly biz is powered by tech written by bolix escapees. i tracked some of'em down ( and no they dun answer my mail... ) , they built the current cad houses.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: now that would be some grade a arbitrage, if i could squeeze utility out of such
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i'ma guess, you found him in a gutter , clutching bottle of 'night train' ?
ben_vulpes: aaah yes precisely. has an ee phd! from back when that meant something, even.

asciilifeform: without time machine cannot say which ver. but overall picture invites itself inevitably , that what happened was exactly that the kakobreklas ganged up & killed their mircea_popescu , and put on his regalia.
