mircea_popescu: well
they're only hanging by
the
thread of pretense as it is.
nubbins`: i expect
to see
them vanish as a concern in my lifetime
mircea_popescu: and so
today you can buy an icecream cone like you could in
the 80s, except :
that it is "the same icecream"
that's 1% icecream,
that you buy it for "the same dollars"
that have been inflated 10mn
to one and
that all
this allowed imaginary profits nobody can spent
to be safely stored where such
things are usually stored : fort knox,
the social security, people's pensions...
mircea_popescu: whoa look at
the corporate profits!11 wall street is best street!
mircea_popescu: o look! we can print 10 million dollars
to
the dollar and inflation is pretty much even! because reasons!
mircea_popescu: and you know what
the best part of it is ? meanwhile inflation...
mircea_popescu: meanwhile after 20 iterations of
this, one every year and a half,
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: 'build $widget-prime and
try
to pass off
to chumpers as genuine $widget' <<< what else is
the 80/20 software engineering approach
than "build 80% of a functional program out of 20% of
the budget and
then
try
to pretend like we're selling it for "half price" ?
mircea_popescu: decimation: "NSA as an institution, however has become a
TQM believer, born again in
the gospel of Deming" <<< im not even sure anyone groks
the botomless pit of lulz
this otherwise
truthful statement contains.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` i guess
the
tarpitting may be
too aggrssive at
the edges or w/e. anyway. anyone else want whitelisted lemme know.
nubbins`: guess i'll see what sort of lease i get on
these
things
mircea_popescu: i guess we get
to know what solipsism really is.
turns out mp really doesn't give a shit as long as he himself can see his website.
nubbins`: "my roof isn't on fire here in
the basement!
nubbins`: anyway canada post says
tomorrow, but i don't
think a package is gonna get from a sort facility in nyc
to your door in a day
nubbins`: but seriously, korg helpfully labelled all
the interesting mod points on
ths board
nubbins`: like 1/4 of
the way
through
the
thread people are posting pics of
their diy "mod chips" ;D
xanthyos: everything is backed up
that needs
to be backed up, except for
the specific way i like
things presented
to me in directories
jurov: ;;google
turd lathe
xanthyos: just
the convenient way i had it organized
nubbins`: incidentally, korg released
the schematics for
the synth as well as a couple others
ben_vulpes: maybe not adding others' keys
to your keyring but...pretty much anything else until you're comfortable with
the process.
ben_vulpes: xanthyos: you should back your .gnupg dir up before doing *anything*
to it.
nubbins`: has MIDI functionality built in,
the only
thing
they didn't do was wire up a DIN port.
nubbins`: it's got a
tiny chip inside
to control a sequencer
nubbins`: speaking of DIN, i've got
this
tiny korg synthesizer, with all-analog voice circuitry
nubbins`: <+ben_vulpes> dots for laffs <<< wouldn't be
the first
time
xanthyos: made it like it was a huge issue
to change my key now and i'm not up for it
nubbins`: are
those DIN connectors for
the inputs?
ben_vulpes: clearly cohesion in operator interface was not a design goal for
this machine.
nubbins`: coulda just put
the dots
there for a laff, i guess
nubbins`: ben_vulpes i
think
the round ones look indexed as well
ben_vulpes: it seems like
the rectangular knobs are used for discrete settings and
the round ones for continuous settings?
nubbins`: asciilifeform what, making body jewelry for
the kids isn't lucrative enough?
nubbins`: ben_vulpes
they're shaped like nintendo wii, what do you
think
ben_vulpes: to me
they scream "i can't make stuff"
nubbins`: it was sound amplification
that introduced me
to
the joy of a well-made knob

to use
the first name.

there
kakobrekla: someone actually uses 'keybase' ?!?! < no surprise
there
gribble: (echangekey <keyid>) -- Changes your GPG registered key
to <keyid>. <keyid> is a 16 digit key id, with or without
the '0x' prefix. We look on servers listed in 'plugins.GPG.keyservers' config. You will be given a link
to a page which contains a one
time password encrypted with your key. Decrypt, and use
the 'everify' command with it. You must be authenticated in order

this (1 more message)
Apocalyptic: xanthyos,
there's a ,,echangekey gribble command
to change
the associated key
to your WoT account
undata: xanthyos:
that is what is currently at risk.
xanthyos: i'd change it but i don't want
to risk losing my identity
thestringpuller: ben_vulpes: didn't you hear? keybase.io is
the future of GPG

that nearly all manufacturers neglect
to make clear how
they are driving
their flash and what kind fo flash it is
undata: how much more "prepared for
total war" can ukraine get?
jurov: you're supposed
to
throw everything out after x months, didn't you get
the memo?
decimation: in fact,
there's a parallel between
the 'cisc' vs. 'risc' efficiency argument you make (efficient at what?) and
the demingites (we make your people more efficient - details unimportant!)
decimation: really, it
traces
the general breakdown of social heirarchy expounded in
the logs
decimation: his
theory (which is somewhat convoluted) is
that us business was ruined in
the post-wwII boom because
traditional management (in
the line-and-staff model) were being replaced by 'staff' instead of competent 'line'
decimation: "NSA as an institution, however has become a
TQM believer, born again in
the gospel of Deming"
decimation: asciilifeform: much more lulzy in
that cryptolog is
the section on 'TQM'
