asciilifeform: possibly i'm not using enuff repellentpowder, lol

asciilifeform: does it ? i dun recall last time e.g. trilema was '#1 on tardcombinator' ☟︎

asciilifeform: the q asciilifeform asks each time is 'wai'. it's not unlike learning that you've been featured on radio pyongyang

asciilifeform: clambodile: there is no substitute for reading the log, if you want to have even half a clue. but lurk all you like, nobody's stopping anyone from lurking.

asciilifeform: clambodile: consider reading log, at http://btcbase.org/log and elsewhere, and see chan subjline.

asciilifeform: who might you be, clambodile ?

asciilifeform: !!up clambodile

asciilifeform: d00d is, as i understand, a 'pillar-of-the-komyoonity', i.e. full-time politruk.

asciilifeform: elsewhere, http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-28#1675980. ☝︎

asciilifeform: TomServo: see also e.g. http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-17#1523233 . ☝︎

asciilifeform: !#s tptacek

asciilifeform: ty TomServo , https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15887475 has a little ball of lulz already, complete with card-carrying ninjashotgunner,

asciilifeform: TomServo: the proxy thing sounds exactly like what i wanted. primo candidate for tmsrization.

asciilifeform: habitable outdoors must be pretty great.

asciilifeform grammarschool nitpicking

asciilifeform: but mutilated. or is this what the portuguese do.

asciilifeform: yes

asciilifeform: ->encontrar ?

asciilifeform: for mul, pretty simple, time the interval needed for e.g. million 0x0 mulls vs million maxint x maxint ( and a few other patterns )

asciilifeform: and i'ma have to write a detector for this kind of idiocy, because anything at all can be expected from intel et al.

asciilifeform: if you must run on ppc, yer basecase (word x word) multer has to be 'egyptian'.

asciilifeform: it shortcuts on zeros.

asciilifeform: btw here's a phunphakt for ben_vulpes : ffa cannot be used as-is on ppc. ibm in infinite whizzdom made their mul instruction nonconstanttime.

asciilifeform: *overflow

asciilifeform: of course W_ZeroP only works the way it does because compilers are sad , in turn because people were idiots in 1970s and did not shoot the wreckers who so much as suggested to call a thing without overlow and zero flags, a cpu

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-09#1749053 << yer in for a treat, ben_vulpes , whole thing is made of this ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-09#1749025 << pretty great, it worx ☝︎

asciilifeform: last i heard, e.g., dell and microshit, 'took bitcoin' ( equally fiatronically )

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-09#1749022 << did any of these nonsenses ever ~take btc~ , or did they merely take bitpayolade ? ( and the latter i'll guess finally croaked..? ) ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-09#1749023 << ty phf ! ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-09#1749008 << nope, deadly-boring ☝︎

asciilifeform: it did!11

asciilifeform: fwiw i bought a coin there once to see what would happen. ( but earlier i also did this at... mtgox . worked there also! )

asciilifeform: lulzy tho, 'expect goxlag!'

asciilifeform: really oughta put in fluorescent tubes, but asciilifeform spent too much already for 1 lifetime under fluorescents.

asciilifeform: i'd pay easily a few hundy, say, for a good one. but it's a mythical beast.

asciilifeform: heat

asciilifeform: installed in... july

asciilifeform: and meanwhile yet another 'last 7 yrs!111' led lamp sputters, dies, in asciilifeform's machineroom.

asciilifeform: certainly not the picture with 'old rusty door'.

asciilifeform: i cannot answer whether they're a ~profitable~ racket in usa. but they ~are~ well-attended.

asciilifeform read it

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: point being, there is also a castrated employed hipster crowd, and every other combinatoric arrangement of these also.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-01-16#1372921 << +. ☝︎

asciilifeform: the 1 asciilifeform was sent to, few yrs ago, was even worse than this.

asciilifeform: really it is not difficult to find a few thou idjits to sell tickets to. witness the 'seekoority' cons, with 10s of thou warm bodies, coupla hundy ea.

asciilifeform: why they are there, is a quite orthogonal q, and not an easy one.

asciilifeform never been to 'worldcon'. but even the nearest imitation , in baltimore, md, typically has a few thou .

asciilifeform: if not in any other substance, loud, public.

asciilifeform: these are what mircea_popescu calls 'rubber chicken feasts', massive at least in body count

asciilifeform: iirc robert heinlein had this.

asciilifeform: presumably.

asciilifeform: at some point one will need a sort of proxy simply to read heathenwww on anything like human os/iron ☟︎

asciilifeform: pretty soon, actually. iirc google et al had a 'replacement for html' in the works, with various novel idiocies baked in

asciilifeform: let'em 'fix' whatever they want in ~their~ tar.gz of failurefox

asciilifeform: ^ prolly oughta go in the cuntoo-cookbook, in fact

asciilifeform: ooh neato

asciilifeform: i dare say that dice players have a more accurate picture of reality than typical orlolist

asciilifeform at this point ready to expect just about any infantilism from 'games world'

asciilifeform: dun tell me this is played outside of 3rd grade tho

asciilifeform: a yea saw.

asciilifeform: pretty sure i saw this. there was also a more interesting variant with bluffing and under-the-table note-passing deals etc.

asciilifeform: dice game, with back-and-forth motion, it ?
