danielpbarron: i haven't played a game that's like this in a long while
danielpbarron: my laptop overheats and the game goes at 3 fps but that doesn't really effect game play yet
danielpbarron: 1 of them isn't much; you don't get good results until it's mostly maxed out
mike_c: mircea_popescu: that one isn't ringing a bell, but it looks fun :)
asciilifeform likes his 'ibm m' and 'northgate' kbds but would eventually like something that doesn't throw rf around for fifty metres
asciilifeform: and, incidentally, sov. engineers had no trouble 'missing what they don't have' and went to great lengths to get it
mircea_popescu: so they don't miss what they don't have.
asciilifeform: cabbie isn't usually same as 50 y.o. ex-signals corps fella
asciilifeform: what i also don't get is, didn't any of these folks, in three generations of service to brit and then sov. empire, learn vernam ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i haven't a clue whether hearn is the actual author of the hearnias in question, or not. only that the particular boobytrap which he misrepresents as 'bitcoin' is a more subtle one.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-06-2015#1162814 << be aware, the thing isn't some paragon of good hygiene. (the nic, like all modern nics, has some hidden cpu; etc) but is the cleanest x86 i know of to still be in production ☝︎
trinque: doesn't seem like they're amused by the "pivot"
Bob32442: hmm, I don't get the cap, why is it that it can't be removed?
mats: ask your question, don't ask to ask
mircea_popescu: stirctly, strictly that. i don't aim to run a university, i aim to run a decimation service.
mircea_popescu: i don't give a shit about that
assbot: Analog and Digital TV (DVB-T) Signal Generation ... ( http://bit.ly/1JL3I9u )
ascii_field: (this is another reason why the shitgnomatic 'replacements' for x11 are nonsensical. if i can't get EXACT same experience through a net connection to the machine without idiocies like 'sharing desktop', the gui is WORHTLESS)
ascii_field: doesn't even come with a 'civilian' bios
decimation: agreed, since they can't explain what they actually do (see ascii's point), they gotta be all conspiratorial
decimation: ascii_field: but don't you know Big Pharma supresses us!
trinque: you don't keep backup kernels around?
mod6: isn't buildroot the thing that alf said must be used inside of gentoo?
decimation: but ascii has a point, this wouldn't work if everyone does not have the same hardware
trinque: if the livecd loads, if your own box doesn't, you fucked up.
decimation: what isn't available? doesn't x86-64 also run 32 bit?
mod6: trinque: with the image, don't we run into issues with hardware other than x86_64?
ascii_field: and i don't need the adc for anything
mod6: i guess i didn't realize that gentoo =~ particle accelerator haha
ascii_field: what this means, in practice, is that a reasonable ( i won't say 'sane' because these do not exist presently ) computer system is not a machine, but a ~place~ - like a church organ
mod6: well, im afraid of that too. so what to do then? i hope I haven't just been wasting my time then.
mod6: <+trinque> mircea_popescu: built him a bootable image of gentoo in about an hour last weekend << yup, this is true. and I haven't been able to try it out yet. i'm planning on trying out the steps that he deed'd tomorrow. the image is great, but the goal is to get to a working set of instructions that allow a person to construct gentoo in our preferred way. so even if the image works, im not sure this is something to be used for anything else. he
mircea_popescu: we don't poll it 500mhz
ascii_field: most likely don't even own a thesaurus, but simply read neal stephenson's novel 'diamond age.'
mircea_popescu: fwiw de raadt isn't even in here.
decimation: tektronix is #1 in oscopes, if they don't have something than probably nobody does
mircea_popescu: mod6 the problem is that most people don't have a lot of o-bsd experience. and i don't just mean most people here, but generally. hard to sell that thing as an "all purpose b-a basis of bases"
mod6: eh. i'm not sure yet. i'm getting to the point with this thing where i realize at least 1 thing: I don't have the technical experience in the context of gentoo to get us where we want to go in a timly fashion. My experience in gentoo has been for 6 weeks, never used it before that. Everything has been a struggle here, for me. Not that I can't do it all myself, but I feel like it's taking me waaay too long. Maybe I just had bad expectations as
assbot: Logged on 12-06-2015 18:19:28; mod6: i mean, i can't seem to get anywhere with anything without major time involved and serious pain.
punkman: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=01-02-2015#1001114 << couple of 500mhz devices listed there, I wouldn't hope for much though ☝︎
ascii_field: decimation: radio doesn't pick up arbitrary waveforms
decimation: most of those radios don't go down below 100 mhz
decimation: I don't think that exists
decimation: don't give a fuck what indian thinks
ascii_field: if it can't piss the bits out to pc at 1G/s
ascii_field: and so we don't.
decimation: apparently the 'demand' doesn't exist
ascii_field: (what -doesn't- suck there ?)
ascii_field: there is NO reason why eeprom programmer shouldn't just appear as usb mass storage on the pc end
decimation: ascii_field: but you have admitted that you don't pull gentoo updates regularly
decimation: it forced me to learn why I don't want the latest of everything
shinohai: but, i couldn't resist a play on the yeshiva theme.
assbot: Logged on 12-06-2015 17:45:18; jurov: ascii_field: you surely wouldn't want to be on receiving side of it, coherent or not
ascii_field: rom burner is this thing where you don't have to. pull the part # from db and drop in the chip
assbot: Logged on 12-06-2015 15:38:37; nubbins`: is this something you actually plan on doing, or is this another instance of me wasting a bunch of time generating a quote for something that won't happen?
mircea_popescu: anyway, this is the thing trying to fix the signatures issue isn';t it ?
assbot: Logged on 12-06-2015 18:19:28; mod6: i mean, i can't seem to get anywhere with anything without major time involved and serious pain.
mod6: <+nubbins`> you can't get a bash prompt? << for instance on my POS box that I bought for $129.00 an x86_64 core2duo, I can't even install the os. All i can do is boot the livecd, do the chroot stuff, and then end up at the grub> prompt upon reboot. when it comes to my instance in AWS, i've had better luck, but doing stuff for me is so time consuming. in this case, i need to get gcc recompiled with patches to see if we can get past this error we
nubbins`: can't get online?
nubbins`: you can't get a bash prompt?
mod6: what i'm sayin is this: without expert knowledge of how to use gentoo, I can't do what needs to be done in a reasonable amount of time. everyting for me in there is arduous, painstaking.
nubbins`: it just doesn't exist
mod6: i mean, i can't seem to get anywhere with anything without major time involved and serious pain. ☟︎☟︎
nubbins`: *brand* new. hadn't even been sullied with ink yet.
mod6: trinque says y, "to learn gentoo, you must have learned gentoo". which is the total truth. you can't just pick this thing up and figure it out.
ascii_field: jurov: photo doesn't even include the water pumps and chiller
jurov: ascii_field: you surely wouldn't want to be on receiving side of it, coherent or not ☟︎
ascii_field: diode array laser isn't additive !
ascii_field: that wasn't even the lulziest thing
assbot: Don't listen to Edward Snowden's supporters – his leaks have been a gift to terrorists - Comment - Voices - The Independent ... ( http://bit.ly/1f6VPOE )
nubbins`: is this something you actually plan on doing, or is this another instance of me wasting a bunch of time generating a quote for something that won't happen? ☟︎
pete_dushenski: then computers came along and i didn't give a shit about cars until 2nd year university
pete_dushenski: in any event, promises to do this or that 'by the end of the century even though we won't have a country' is the 2nd lulziest shit all week
pete_dushenski: kakobrekla: lmao y'know that's a point i hadn't considered.
mircea_popescu: itdoesn't add any further drama ? you have the quote above.
nubbins`: ehhh i think BDSM angle doesn't add any further drama
mircea_popescu: by nature, yes. inasmuch as a party doesn't fight back, a welt's a welt and a smack's a smack you know ? whether you kloink your slave or your roomate over the head, whether they consented to it or not doesn't enter in the functions that return "isbraindamage" as aboolean.
nubbins`: i've been reading about this case off and on for 4+ years and i still can't make any sense of it
nubbins`: googling "dustin paxton" brings pics of the victim, but i can't recommend you look at them
mircea_popescu: nubbins` im not gonna read 69 pages of this thing and the article doesn't make it too clear , i could see either side. got some selected quotes ?
mircea_popescu: usually in the form "my real self hasn't emerged yet, but once it does... it took karate!11 it'll show you!11"
mircea_popescu: moreover, killing and mercilessness aren't in the automatic relationship here proposed. there is such a thing as mercy killing.
funkenstein_: if you want merciless military, then go for it. but don't say "oh and here's our feelings discussion group"
mircea_popescu: if the young recruits weren't imbeciles, one probably wouldn't have to drive the broken fragments of a dysfunctionally-superficial pseudo-ethics out of their dumb skulls.
funkenstein_: follow orders, don't think
mircea_popescu: i don't see it.
asciilifeform wouldn't actually want to putter around in this museum piece daily
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it was "Don't buy a computer that costs less than your woman"
asciilifeform: 'don't buy a car which costs less than your computer' (tm)
BingoBoingo: Also sporty car with a sporty automatic tranny isn't bad.
mircea_popescu: funny how the libertards were all over nucular but don't seem to hardly notice at all their special needs law professor has no fucking idea which side the sun comes out.
mircea_popescu: didn't YOU host it ?
BingoBoingo: Nah, cyanide means that if you make it through you can't see them burn
asciilifeform: but, as ought to be clear, if your 'memory palace' is not a palace but a kolhoz full of 1,001 schmucks, don't brainwallet...
assbot: Logged on 11-06-2015 22:52:09; jurov: wonder why no one is using phone camera as source of randomness. you can't recreate the shot no matter how you try
BingoBoingo: I dunno, if hitler couldn't unite all of Isaac's brothers I doubt Obola can unite all of Esau's
BingoBoingo: Can't make it easy to have the entire memory palace plucked out of the brian in one go
jurov: wonder why no one is using phone camera as source of randomness. you can't recreate the shot no matter how you try ☟︎
trinque: can't think of a http lib that doesn't give you the http request already parsed and parceled
mircea_popescu: yet blockchain.org is different from daybitrade.com because... oh right, because meni rosenfeld doesn't own the wsj. that's all.
