andreicon: but i take pride in being an above-average thinker so i'm sure i'm in the right place. just don't know why until i read the 22mn lines of logs

andreicon: i'm not exactly sure whether i'm supposed to intervene or just observe

andreicon: i like what i'm reading, it's keeping me entertained, curious

andreicon: i'm not a good example, i'm in the right place for the wrong reasons

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no leverage gives itslef like a slut in marriage. for it to give -- you gotta use. it can be used, i'm a fine example of using it.

andreicon: mine has poop sensors, i am a very different signaller

mircea_popescu: if my os came up with a way to be exciting i'd probably buy a flamethrower the same day.

a111: Logged on 2017-07-13 19:00 mircea_popescu: there's a dazzling depth to these pointless shits, which is why the whole "oh i wonder why ancient people didn't spend more time thinking -- i could derive all of euclid in an evening" is so amusing.

asciilifeform: if i were crashed on the proverbial starvation island with this animal and a dog, i would eat her first , before the dog

asciilifeform: i wouldn't keep one of these around. better a dog, a horse.

a111: Logged on 2017-07-02 00:20 mircea_popescu: no power, no pumps (i live up on a hillside) and so i had the girls... fery water. from the pool, with ex-paper baskets repurposed as sacas, up the fucking stairs.

asciilifeform: 'how do i learn this?' 'start by going back 20yrs..'

asciilifeform: and i'd predict that most of the perpetrators would stop overnight after the first educational public impalements began.

a111: Logged on 2017-07-13 20:41 mircea_popescu: and yet i'll remember the djb urchin cocksucker long after i've forgotten the djb mathematician. for that matter petain was a very respectable military officer. in world war i. possibly a higher caliber than anyone else in the ifeld then. and ?

a111: Logged on 2017-07-13 16:02 phf: i don't understand the points that you're both trying to make

diana_coman: you know, I WAS thinking it sounded so much like planeshit...

a111: Logged on 2017-07-13 15:32 asciilifeform: 'i have 9000 layers of metatronics keeping track of own navel lint'

andreicon: sorry, trinque, i'm still getting used to whatever irc clients are available. irssi ftw. also sleep > wake cycles

mircea_popescu: i can see it going that far. all who died never existed to begin with, which is why there's so little interest youth derives from one's own personal history.

mircea_popescu: phf: for the longest time i thought that common lisp spec is a magic paper against modernization. << check it out, the apotropaion of lisp!

mircea_popescu: i dunno. the fact is that the core rotting away results in the conclusion that "there was no core to begin with" rather than in the conclusion rthat "it had a core -- but then it ated it."

diana_coman: I'm really more exploring where this goes rather than having some solid thing on it either way

mircea_popescu: and yet i'll remember the djb urchin cocksucker long after i've forgotten the djb mathematician. for that matter petain was a very respectable military officer. in world war i. possibly a higher caliber than anyone else in the ifeld then. and ? ☟︎

mircea_popescu: yes, i would say that to die senile is some kind of retroactive macula on one's intellectual history.

diana_coman: eh, to Italians in the South I looked...German!

diana_coman: should have said also: gypsy *enough* - because I certainly looked "Italian" to austrians and "gypsy" or ukrainian to Russians etc

a111: Logged on 2017-07-09 15:56 phf: lotta "romanian" girls now, i.e. darker, gypsy looking ones. is that normal for romanian girls, or that sort of type is purely gypsies?

a111: Logged on 2017-07-13 15:07 diana_coman: well, I can't see how slow accumulation of concession to shit leads to anything other than "chemically bonds to it" at some point

andreicon: i think imma keep the help page in a tab somewhere

andreicon: dunno, i tried windows 2016 datacenter with containers on azure

phf: microsoft did a "pivot" under the indian guy and "embraced" "open source". they have an aws competitor, and a user space lunix and i don't know what else.

andreicon: asciilifeform: i've been trying to set up a honeypot, i strive to be on the good side

andreicon: i usually write my own, but i never thought to include a get to favicon

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> lol i had nfi you could get these on microshit's hoster << Recent-ish thing

asciilifeform: andreicon: if not, you then have an easy boobytrap for 'scanning utils i've used'

andreicon: or other vuln scanning utilities i've used

andreicon: i don't believe burp does that iirc

BingoBoingo: <andreicon> i believe this is the usual behavior for browsers << Normal for good scrapers

mircea_popescu: anyone seen frankenhooker ? i heartily recommend, exact rendition of us-born "STEM" idiot. the dude with the power drill.

mircea_popescu: "but it doesn't work" "well yea but i got this power drill, will fix brain."

mircea_popescu: "i'm with the flight research community" "do you fly ?" "oh, no. well... sometimes we do whippets."

asciilifeform: i dun think i have any of those lol

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i should hope saiod machine had casemod with black light everywhere ?

phf: mircea_popescu: considering that i oversee a handful of web developers, while barely working myself, the joke about "he fell from the guard tower" is very apropos :o

asciilifeform: i had mere 'butugychag'

asciilifeform: lol i had nfi you could get these on microshit's hoster

andreicon: phf: i only use what's free

phf: i like digitalocean, though judging by the articles coming out about it's not long for this world re sanity

andreicon: i'm using a virtual machine on azure

mircea_popescu: not bad at that. i guess plenty of people may go to the trouble to curl -A "blabla" but few will also add a spurious favicon hit.

andreicon: i believe this is the usual behavior for browsers

andreicon: yes, i agree, i could be malicious

andreicon: looking at the logs i see he got it

phf: i haven't

mircea_popescu: wtf, if i actually have to clear jungle i'll bring in hydraulics not futz with a million blades held by a million locals.

phf: right, this is more of a worker knife. i've seen it used at construction sites for example to shape the beams

mircea_popescu: there's a dazzling depth to these pointless shits, which is why the whole "oh i wonder why ancient people didn't spend more time thinking -- i could derive all of euclid in an evening" is so amusing. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: phf i had a local guy who was trying to impress a local girl explain it all to me. fibers, man!

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i do use search engine

phf: there's a scene in samurai executioner comic book, where main character is cutting wood with a very similar looking knife, observed by a local youth. the kid later tries to repeat the move, and complete fails to even penetrate the surface. pretty much where i'm at with all this :)

mircea_popescu: i thought you didn't read reddit.

mircea_popescu: not full speed, they manage an incredible coupla miles an hour, but still, human. i count for a 14yo boy i guess.

mircea_popescu: ah, THAT i can do.

phf: also they use it to hack trees for kindling, etc. i tried using the knives for that purpose during camping, couldn't do much damage either. i suspect, yes, there's a tricky technique to it.

mircea_popescu: phf it's all because of mommentum. counter-military blow, the blade decelerates just as it hits somehiw. i can't do it either.

phf: yes, and since you reminded, i retract the unskilled part. i tried recreating the move, nearly hacked my hand off a few times, but not much damage to the coconut

mircea_popescu: coconut beheading not unskilled labour, i would say.

phf: but then i bought a handful of hand forged (non-artisanal, but for cutting coconuts and other such low skilled labor) knives in india. easily outperforms all the junk i had at home, apart from solingen cooking knives

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally : the pineapple hacking device is this chinese blade i bought on a lark. turns out it's the best steel i own / have seen in a long while. ☟︎

asciilifeform: ( is it connected to the map widget proggy? now this i have nfi )

mircea_popescu: http://68.media.tumblr.com/2fc0db5e94b5ec60a1a6cf24f2b64ae7/tumblr_o5k91cVFvc1tgs3fno1_1280.png << this incidentally is a fine example of what i mean by http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-02#1664458 : bed-door clearance ? exactly enough to fit a standing chick, if were thin, AND NO MORE. ☝︎☟︎☟︎

asciilifeform: phf: i tried to find the usglulz re gps speed limit, did not yet find, but found other similar wtf, e.g. http://www.gps.gov/spectrum/foreign/

a111: Logged on 2017-07-13 14:31 andreicon: just looking around, i was actually thinking of switching from my current debian installation to something more exciting

mircea_popescu: i am also suspicious of the 1 max 5 common best fix. ☟︎

asciilifeform: because desk prototype, i imagine.

mircea_popescu: i dunno why he'\s not using better oscillator assembly

asciilifeform: i suppose if you're found gpsing with one it'll be like the d00dz found with kalash where they drilled the extra hole.

phf: that fpga receiver is also technically an illegal device. i don't know if that's in the same article, but consumer gps is supposed to cut off signal when traveling above certain speeds or certain altitudes (i don't remember the specifics though)

mircea_popescu: "Mixing with the same code in the correct phase de-spreads the wanted signal and further spreads everything else." << if this isn't technology i dunno what is.

phf: asciilifeform: somewhat related, i'm sure you've seen http://www.aholme.co.uk/GPS/Main.htm

a111: Logged on 2017-07-13 14:29 andreicon: i was looking up openbsd

mircea_popescu: phf sorry about that. in retrospect i picked the worst choice, not even on the menu. should have just made a short hi and then decided.

mircea_popescu: i have nfi what to do now, continue conversation node way back, go through the logs, re-read the short range here...

mircea_popescu: but, in correct terminology, it is very directly v-for-thought, and nothing else, and no more. "i thought i was writing code" "where's your press ?" "fuck. i understand now i was actually, and literally, and without remainder, just pouring sand on my dick for the novelty of the sensation, exactly like 3 yo first-time-at-black-sea does!"

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-13#1682562 << i perceive i am not at liberty to speak here, but must quote newman : http://trilema.com/2013/a-very-unfair-perspective/#selection-31.23-31.373 ; this quote is not a rhetorical device, nor a stylistical choice. it is no choice at all. i ~must~ quote newman. ☝︎

asciilifeform: ( there might be good ru material floating about, i never dug in properly, it is on the lengthy conveyor )

phf: i thought maybe you have one of those '99 home pages by a electrical star tracking aficionado

andreicon: how do i go about creating and registering my pubkey?

phf: it's one of the reasons i started looking in this direction. obviously gps is inadequate for wasp stack

asciilifeform: upstack and re navigation -- i'd like to see the lost art of electrical star tracking, come back

phf: i think a good exercise is to rewrite one of the existing c machine subtrates from cmucl or sbcl in ada. but left for another lifetime

asciilifeform: the former is 'where do i wanna be 2 hrs from nao'

asciilifeform: phf: i'd separate 'motion planning' from 'avionics', conceptually

phf: i'll use your device and claim that the comment was "for the log readers" ;)

phf: i won't the thing to follow some pretty simple decision algorithm: here's a gps list of viable landing spots, here's a gps list of interesting targets. given your positional knowns decide and execute a flight path that'll take the aircraft through highest number of interesting targets before landing in any one of the viable landing spots. surprisingly large number of moving parts in a situation like that ☟︎

asciilifeform: i.e. the kind usg can't switch off or meacon on a whim

asciilifeform: ( though i'm moar interested in gravimetric/terrain navigation than gps )

asciilifeform: but it is conceivable that one day i will write one of even these, also.

asciilifeform: it is difficult to write proggy for machines that i dun have

phf: well, if you can write me an avionics code that will do all the things (figure out the position of aircraft in space, both on micro i.e. in relation to earth's surface and macro i.e. gps levels, knows how to adjust that position both in normal operational and critical situations, etc. etc.) then i won't have to study existing ones either
