asciilifeform: i'd rather roll up the money an' smoke it.
asciilifeform: i am unaware of why this one is so great.
mircea_popescu: i'd guess about 3-5mn during her tenure.
mircea_popescu: what can i tell you. socialist state is poor and hopeless.
asciilifeform: i could see 20k for general of... mali
asciilifeform: i still wonder why ( afaik ! ) there has not been yet an open schism, where usg: 'ip X belongs to Y' but elsewhere 'no, Z'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know, back in the day i used to specifically buy "trained whore", "will run back". they... never did.
mircea_popescu: "nothing happened, the woman was pushing 300 lbs." "i'm not taking any nutritionism advice from THAT."
shinohai: jeez I was lacking in lulzworthy submissions this month BingoBoingo
mircea_popescu: i dont think those folks read anything online. including their own barf. since 2004 or so
asciilifeform: i have the barf scrolling on dedicated panel 24/7 and when some is 'new' it catches the eye.
asciilifeform: i think the saxons misplaced those.
Framedragger: if this means english were to regain cases, i'm all up for it
a111: Logged on 2017-06-30 16:48 asciilifeform: speaking of which, i've been wanting to discuss 'simplest cpu' for a while.
sina: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-30#1677417 << facts I am learning ☝︎
mircea_popescu: gdp/capita i mean
sina: I guess there is no available "GDP/people who can afford brothel visits" metric
sina: I mean, from brazil to portugal
sina: really? I would've imagined the flow to go opposite direction
sina: mircea_popescu: I can't speak specifically of Portugal redditardation, only use in attempt of "try and argue it re drugs for instance.
sina: but I will read the pimp article nonetheless
sina: sir where I live the sun is rising and where you live it may be falling
mircea_popescu: right now it's morning where you live, afternoon where i live and even night in some places. clearly daytimes are arbitrary.
mircea_popescu: i dun see it.
sina: I think at this point, given countries like Portugal which have decriminalised a lot of drugstuff, it's clear the lines for drugs is just as arbitrary
mircea_popescu: but be that as it may -- the notion that a drawing can be at issue is not only just as stupid as usual, but also crits. now you don't even have any sort of available "i really believe this crap" defense.
mircea_popescu: i am making the point that irrespective of whether some group should be oppressed or not, the "justification" proferred for the oppression is ridiculous.
mircea_popescu: i thought all you had was wilting heat and scorpions
sina: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-30#1677338 << hey we're a Commonwealth country so I can't blame you for thinking such but we aren't as bad as the UK on this front! :P ☝︎
Framedragger actually recalls essay. https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Why_I_Never_Hire_Brilliant_Men
mircea_popescu: and this isn't even getting into the whole layer of "i make a webcomic about shit i don't grok" "famous" retardation
mircea_popescu: i've a better chance to find actual human among the barefoot jungle nicas than among the usgistani "famous people".
mircea_popescu is sick of "famous people" like of crab apples. let them sit in some other latrine with their "oh i lost my pgp key 20 years ago" zimmerman and their "i dedicate my life to raising impudent street urchins as if they were white people" bernstein and their "oh hi, rng ?" koch and their "o btw, i lied about that laptop" rms everything else.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: short of getting on airplane and knocking on his door, i have no further idea
BingoBoingo: I am finding similar results. Seems email isn't functional for anything but "subscription" market that was never subscribed to
asciilifeform: phf will find ^ esp. entertaining, i suspect
a111: Logged on 2017-06-30 20:40 Framedragger: basically she inherited this terribad codebase, "bridgedb". she rewrote parts of it (possibly finishing the rest but i didn't stay in touch), and fixed all kinds of weird threading issues by effective use of semaphores etc, which is nothing special, but the result is just so damn easy to read
mircea_popescu: i like how chix is a singular for him, like minx
Framedragger: check the video i guess, tastes can differ heh
asciilifeform: mebbe the chix was THAT hot. i can't say, i only saw the leg!111
Framedragger: and yeah i guess just literate programming. i was *even younger*, recall
Framedragger: trinque: yeah i acknowledge that. well fuck, i need to actually try to respond, but for that i'd need to take a look at subject again. which i can do and probably should do
Framedragger: "heavily documented and commented without useless comments code", effective use of OOP in python without using classes just for the sake of it, tackling a technologically entangled thing (i could explain but basically there is this "bridge db" which gives "bridges" at some churn rate, but bridges come in different "buckets" (different obfuscation protocol etc),
Framedragger: but i got to see both
Framedragger: trinque: she agreed that "yes i was quoting here because i liked the quote, didn't understand in depth", many times, while at the same time i didn't think it was all nonsense. i would have to dig up to actually provide examples, which i suppose yes would be nice.
Framedragger: i don't mean easy as in lazy, i mean that there was no point for the historical bad to be so clumsy
mircea_popescu: i see.
Framedragger: basically she inherited this terribad codebase, "bridgedb". she rewrote parts of it (possibly finishing the rest but i didn't stay in touch), and fixed all kinds of weird threading issues by effective use of semaphores etc, which is nothing special, but the result is just so damn easy to read ☟︎
Framedragger: trinque: i read said flatmate's dissertation on critical writing and provided lots of criticism, it was nice, not sure what else to say
mircea_popescu: Framedragger do believe i have no intention or tendency here, i'm just curious.
trinque: "I supposedly read some books, and now listen to me prattle about myself while I stand on the books"
a111: Logged on 2017-06-30 15:38 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-30#1677329 << i'll bite. give example, what things.
trinque: ah well on the basis of your feelings and coy avoidance I'll suppose it's a thing then.
Framedragger: (isis, i mean)
Framedragger: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-30#1677720 << moving pic (i haven't watched video): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGIE7KTJiBY ☝︎
asciilifeform: in earlier lulz, 'Max Count Frequency Min=1800 Typ=2200 Max=---' << pretty interesting spec. not a thing i've previously encountered.
asciilifeform: ftr i'm satisfied that 6502 was fully known.
asciilifeform: i worked ( still on occasion do ) with elderly phd d00d who grew up in rural india , first childhood job - collecting, drying cowshit to fuel funeral pyres with
asciilifeform: trinque: consider, i am not 'fixing' kochpgp
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-30#1677339 << tell you what, i know but i don't that computers suck. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, re that wright "i totally was fondled by bitcoin in a hotel room he was occupying" imbecile : i suppose the backup claim of "well, bitcoin now patented! terrorists!" just in case "everything else" keeps blowing up is being "serviced".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform aha. "bland, rather stupid woman. but she could walk back when i was six months old"
mircea_popescu: there's nothing whatever wrong with "woman took me to sushi. it was a restaurant, she didn't even cook it, or work there, or pay. and yes people have been having sushi far longer than they've been having hamburger but it was my first time and i'll always remember her fondly, notwithstanding she died of an overdose while trying to rob a kindergarten at gunpoint (she thought she was inside the bank next door)."
a111: Logged on 2017-06-30 15:20 Framedragger: this ad hominem (some ad hominems are completely valid, that i understand) is orthogonal to technical knowledge and its conveyance to other people. i know that there is no apolitical knowledge and you maybe can't separate the two, but i think sometimes it's possible, to an extent.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-30#1677335 << not dispositive or anything, not even relevant to anything, but now i'm totally curious : what was this knowledge even ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i'm sorry. o wright.
mircea_popescu: "yes, i think we might!"
a111: Logged on 2017-06-30 15:18 trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-30#1677141 << hadn't had a chance to pick it up for a bit; got time this weekend though. item I've got can maintain balances, send and mark-paid invoices. I think I'll handle deposits manually and call that a first cut, trb address tracking without a privkey isn't there yet.
asciilifeform: i'ma have to raise the busy wire on this one
asciilifeform: lol all i see is a leg...
mircea_popescu: well, do you agree that had you seen her AND had your reaction been "omfg i gotta tap dat ass!" you... would be sure ?
asciilifeform: i suspect that we differ on subj
a111: Logged on 2017-06-30 15:16 Framedragger: more like, i learned things from her
asciilifeform: sorta what i've been swimming towards for past yr or 2
a111: Logged on 2017-06-30 14:51 Framedragger: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-30#1677304 << 100% tru. ("at least i got paid a bit for it", but myeah.)
asciilifeform: to revisit the tta cpu thing : i investigated 'can haz ecl?' and found reasonably priced 4+GHz discrete logic
a111: Logged on 2017-06-30 14:50 Framedragger: i personally don't see any big diff between myblog.com and myblog.landlord.com
mircea_popescu: (as an aside, i don't expect any of these fucktards, gilmore, bernstein, whatever, even remotely give enough of a shit about anything not tittlating their anal orifices, BUT! it'd help me fucking immensely if they actually were in, because of sybil considerations. but they dun wanna, becausew why should the world not stink.)
mircea_popescu: i was mocking that the other day!
mircea_popescu: yest i wanted to make myself batido, the swiss iutem was fullo of some health crap the girls drink, so i was whatever. then later new girl emitted "it's clean now!" signal and i was like "bitch, srsly ? you're... signalling me now ?!"
asciilifeform: i'd luvvv a clock like that, btw
mircea_popescu: i knew this dream was too good to last.
asciilifeform: i/o, for instance.
mircea_popescu: "but how ?" "give it cancer wtf do i care."
mircea_popescu: i'd prefer it if this had no out band signalling. at all.
mircea_popescu: go right ahead, i'm having a sammich.
asciilifeform: speaking of which, i've been wanting to discuss 'simplest cpu' for a while. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i suppose so. but eg "power diff analysis" very much "leverage of the thingness of item"
mircea_popescu: i know of no other thing that'd make the cut
mircea_popescu: in fact, no medicine yet devised bestows endless life as a young man ; and yet i can say sulfmetoxazole better for gonorhea than cough syrup.
mircea_popescu: every tank can be flattened, and yet i can make comparative judgements re tiger vs mathilde.
asciilifeform: i dun follow
mircea_popescu: "oh, gotta worry! oh, gotta be careful!" bitch... i dun care.
mircea_popescu: and i'm not even fucking kidding, you.actually.get.cash.rebates.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-30 09:07 sina: once long ago, I ran a tor hidden service that allowed anyone to execute any command they liked on it, as a deanonymisation challenge
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-30#1677276 << this is reminiscent of the 'i left a box with bait of 1 bitcent and nobody broke it, SEKOORE!!!1' -- you gotta ask 'was the game worth the candles'. an 0day can be worth from $100k to $maxint; why does your particular honeypot, merit blowing it. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i can talk with guys who don't know about boats any number of places!
mircea_popescu: i have ~no expectation for machine to entertain me. all i expect is for it to do work.
mircea_popescu: honestly, i expect the unix "Shell" is very much "poor man's ai". specifically "we can't get it to laugh at your jokes or suck your cock, but here's the best we can do, it's almost as if you're talking to it"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: fwiw i've been stabbing at the 1024 chickens thing since 2006 or so
