i own this box, yes/no" "if yes, why is there crap on it / if no why am
i futzing with it".
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: also, that you framed "
i think with this" shows that... you're head. hate to break it to you. to "think with gut" is to choose a restaurant to eat at not to open a restaurant.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform:
i don't actually recall his role in the anvin affair

☟︎ diana_coman: played a bit with ffa too; maybe
I get some time to add to mod6's testing of it
mircea_popescu: dumbfounding shitnonsense is this anyway.
i do the things
i do because they ARE! the right things to do. present fucking tense. not because
i'm hopping such and such a tomorrow as'll make them retrospectively the right things. wtf is even this, inflatothink.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
i literally, and entirely, don't give a shit what happens tomorrow.
mircea_popescu:
i care what happened yesterday. and what happened yesterday was,
i owned a box. and on it,
i...
mircea_popescu: yes. if...
i own... a box...
i ~~~therefore~~~ remove... the crap on it. and then, install, non crap on it.
mircea_popescu: this is the point.
i'm neither the left pepsi can nor the right pepsi can and you're neither invited or allowed to choose me.
mircea_popescu: but... if
i own a box... therefore...
i check and remove... crap.. and then... instal... sanity.
mircea_popescu:
i own a box. this box has crap on it. therefore...
i ... delete the crap. and put something sane on./
mircea_popescu:
i still don't follow this. so : there's a chickfield. upon this chickfield you run a transform. it results in either all of them dying or some useful slavegirls surviving.

i dun wanna squeeze idiots for anything. to begin with, the very definition of idiocy assures me they have nothing
i want.
pete_dushenski:
i shan't give up on this lol even if it is now a stale, forced effort!
pete_dushenski:
i got a kick out of the 'we are mp because we can haz podcast, bow hethens!!1' schtick
a111: Logged on 2017-07-20 17:49 pete_dushenski: for whatever 'cybermilitary' is worth,
i'd pit .il against any other
mircea_popescu: tell you what, "eh fuck this shit" is how
i ended up with millions in deployed capital, the roi of which was above par overall (not counting any subjectives).
pete_dushenski: well aren't we just the a/c salesmen. well goddamit if
i call him right now to install it's of my own volition!!1
mircea_popescu: centrail air,
i'm telling you. can heat/cool/humidifix/filter, you name it.
pete_dushenski: great, now
i'm imagining black footlong dongs as ceiling mobiles. THIS IS BAD FOR CHILDREN MKDAY
a111: Logged on 2017-07-20 17:09 pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: blackzilla is enjoying the seasonal weather more than
i'm enjoying the seasonal smoke. being downwind of the massive bc fires isn't doing wonders for the ol' respiratory tract. (waking up coughing, etc.) . needless to say
i've a newfound appreciation for the sorry denizens of chinese mega-cities. it's one of those "you never know what you've got until it's gone" (tm) things

☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
i do not want anything in particular ; but
i do observe and therefore declare that as water flows to lower ground and as good money pushes out the bad so too better computers own shittier computers and there's jack shit me or you or them or anyone can do about this.
mircea_popescu: anyway, but the tendency is there, your mind is "oh, mircea_popescu os". except
i've no intention to mircea_popescu os anyone as such.
mircea_popescu: and this is my point here : yes, bitcoin corrupts.
i mean specific things by this term of art, they're in the logs.
mircea_popescu:
i dunno that
i have a definition, but the afore-the-fact grates.
trinque: so
I'll pay them to do more
trinque: rather than here
I sit,
I paid some nodes to do work, turned out the output was useful to me
mircea_popescu: if
i ask the owner of machine A to write me a bubblesort or write abada on his tits or whatever ?
a111: Logged on 2017-01-07 15:19 mircea_popescu: and entirely unrelatedly : anyone willing to stand up an irc bot for me (as a service for hire deal) and expose some kind of programmable interface that can read messages to it, process and push out a reply ? bonus points if
i don't have to learn crazy-shitstick-"$modernlanguage".
mircea_popescu: (by spaces
i mean spaces of possibilities, you can write any succession of letters but can't make any molecule you need work the way you'd expect)
mircea_popescu: so far the ~only problem
i can discern keeping cool things from long ago existing is the pretense of allowing idiots choice.
mircea_popescu: phf ikr ? seems the most placid obviousness to me somehow.
i must be a little odd.
mircea_popescu: but like
i just said ? if you end up owning a machine with crap installed, what do you do ? wipe the crap, install a sane os and continue.
mircea_popescu:
i see absolutely 0 reason of tmsr tolerating non tmsr software on same box. wipe it all on sight.
mircea_popescu:
i expect step 0 : rewrite mbr, fix rest of hdd, reboot into sane os.
mircea_popescu: whether server A im talking to
i'm talking so it adds 2 and 2 for me, or gives me a new friend, or shoots a missile, is not a part of design consideration.
mircea_popescu: this is not what
i see. what
i see is that you have a list of C1..n machines ; some of which are included arbitrarily in a list of S1...j and some of which are not.
mircea_popescu: amusingly
i also put it in the log earlioer today. so what of it ?
mircea_popescu: if
i put up a box my S list will look nothing like yours.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is only a problem in the sense of "
i have decided to not work today so
i can't"
mircea_popescu: necessarily. if you grant nat implemented correctly, your problem is exactly that of the british girl on the deserted island. "so how was the sex ?" "
i dunno, no star topoloigies!!!"
mircea_popescu: "
i have boxes that don't respond to unknowns and no way to make unknowns known can has solution ?" alfian style problem.
mircea_popescu:
i dun follow what the problem's supposed to be with the above scheme.
