mircea_popescu: it really wasn'
t much higher risk than being in the army, which was you know, a good chunk of the population, especially poorer.
mircea_popescu: i guess if you force them, by allowing armor. buyt then again, gladiatorial combat didn'
t allow much armor.
mircea_popescu: i don'
t think mma guys if given the option of gladitorial arms would actually take any.
mircea_popescu: williamdunne i guess. don'
t you think it kinda detracts from the whole thing ? like, "here, monkeys, a silver coin. FIGHT!"
BingoBoingo: <pete_dushenski> speaking of which, was there a paqi-mayw bitbet ? don'
t recall seeing one, which is too bad as i would've loved to have taken some change off of "the people's fighter" << I though about funding one. Ended up doing a smaller bet on PacMan.
trinque: wouldn'
t they love having some kind of ISIS lite domestically
pete_dushenski: speaking of which, was there a paqi-mayw bitbet ? don'
t recall seeing one, which is too bad as i would've loved to have taken some change off of "the people's fighter"
mircea_popescu: but of much more direct interest, "It is hard to see why this same pattern wouldn'
t hold once the US places much of itself under military occupation."
☟︎ gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: Aaron's post had nothing to say about smoking, drinking and I don'
t think that being opposed to these is "new age-y"
mod6: as far as "looking into" anything specific... i didn'
t. to me it just seems similar to freebsd's ports or something.
trinque: gabriel_laddel: I've heard rumors of gentoo+common-lisp but haven'
t seen anything; is that you?
mod6: Apparently this is not much different than what I've already done, but I really don'
t know.
mod6: Upon news of my endevour, Mr. P. asked me to document what I'd done carefully so we all can be on the same page -- which is also good because I don'
t know what I'm doing with Gentoo anyway. Having people look over what I'm doing provides some bit of steering in-case I get off course.
mod6: To begin with, I was completely unfamiliar with gentoo in any sense -- aside from once trying to set it up from the Handbook, which I found that I didn'
t have time to work my way through and get it set up properly. So my goal was to get familiar with Gentoo and to start to build a system that can be agreed upon that suits our needs for building bitcoind.
☟︎ mod6: <+hanbot> ... hey mod6, could you make a version of this that isn'
t aws-specific? or wouldja be willing to me make one? << yea, absolutely. I'll get there at some point soon hopefully.
gabriel_laddel: doned medicine and that medicine would have been better off to abandon philosophy. He also notes that "On Wounds in the Head" contains remarkably practical techniques that would have been extremely advanced had they discovered antiseptics. I don'
t know enough about the development of medicine to (dis)agree with this assessment, but will note that Semmelweis didn'
t discover antiseptics until ~1850 (and the medical co
pete_dushenski: hey, if they want to wait and the carrying costs aren'
t crushing them, let 'em dream.
jurov: hanbot i don'
t know what mod6 exactly meant
hanbot: jurov> just replace the aws image creation part with normal gentoo handbook << wasn'
t the point at least in part to crop that thing tho'?
mircea_popescu: there are also 68 keys with duplicate moduli, but i imagine that wouldn'
t impact very much the overall numbers ?
hanbot: mircea_popescu> <mod6> once I have these guys << hanbot how about you help with that effort ? << hey mod6, could you make a version of this that isn'
t aws-specific? or wouldja be willing to help me make one?
mircea_popescu: check it out, the government is required to file a certificate. and if they don'
t... fuckall. and if it's fraudulent ? all the better.
mircea_popescu: entertainment's in this weird situation where the olympic record holders of today couldn'
t meet the quals for regional competitions in the 70s.
mod6: i don'
t have the kinda hardware for this sort of ting.
ascii_field: (they still won'
t deterministically sync from same places, but still)
mod6: yeah, some of these charts don'
t make sense to me.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i don'
t recall ever running a node under 8gb, and for that matter that was more like 2012. i think everything now's 32.
mircea_popescu: mod6 doesn'
t matter which chart per se, just trying to put this in context. what was bitcoind doing in the interval ?
mod6: Hmm, the swap and & disk are blank for some reason. im sure I just didn'
t do something correct with those.
mircea_popescu: what business of it is theirs ? "oh, you're so ignorant, you don'
t even know astronomy". well... he's a farm hand, let him farm.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller well, see, the opinions of people who do not own 30 btc to their name as to the comings and goings of places where this is a minimum requisite bar do not constitute proper ignorance. it's like saying country bumpkins in montana have no idea how broadstreet works. they obviously don'
t, but this because the goat does not know calendars.
mircea_popescu: "if we don'
t steal your rights right at the top, it is unlikely our agents at lower levels would not steal them anyway"
mircea_popescu: basically this translates to "the constitution is there to protect the government from having to do things it doesn'
t want to do, not to protect the citizens from things the government wants to do but shouldn'
t"
lobbes: Why India though? Aren'
t they essentially an arm of usg?
mircea_popescu: "just pray, madam, that the russians don'
t do to you and your daughters anything like"
trinque: and isn'
t the US a part of this "coalition" ?
danielpbarron: but it doesn'
t do anything positive mentally << you're not driving fast enough
trinque: asciilifeform: I don'
t either; when it comes up I tend to say "yes, and turns out you still die at the end"
danielpbarron: best example i can think of is porcfest. something like a third of the camp goers were open carrying the whole time. I didn'
t hear of a single instance of theft or fighting (with the exception of the guy who got too high on shrooms and fell through someone's tent by accident)
trinque: can'
t have people experimenting with... anything
trinque: anywhere everyone's constantly strapped is a place I don'
t want to be
trinque: eventually everyone who couldn'
t handle it.. gone
mircea_popescu: why not as an example of why you shouldn'
t go around without one ?
trinque: danielpbarron: said something about teh gays your job didn'
t like?
mod6: but anyway, yeah if it's still too large for the pogo, i guess that doesn'
t help us exactly.
decimation: weirdly there aren'
t any decent restrants/cafes within a short walk
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes if only that guy with the younger queen of spades gf had had the sense to do this, you know ? "hey, i just own the team. go fire my racism guy if you don';
t like my being racist"
mircea_popescu: because that's totally how the mob works, "hey, i don'
t owe you money, that was my other personality / sister / neighbour"
mircea_popescu: now... to answer this you're telling me that you wouldn'
t be doing the planting directly ? what difference does it make.
mircea_popescu: quite. and exactly the same with kyc. if you implement the us rules, you're stuck working for the us. it probably doesn'
t want you to be doing this, and consequently, you are only allowed to "do it" if you don'
t actually do it, and for as long as you bring money from home.
williamdunne: Sorry was just going over the logs didn'
t see your message
mircea_popescu: * jurov proposes opening D.GBTC to close the circle :DDD << i would, if i didn'
t know in advance that the entire charade is entirely outside of any sort of economical considerations.
jurov: pity we don'
t have TaT around anymore. he could have pitched altcoin to them
davout: thestringpuller: "We need something like testnet, just not testnet." <<< the thing is that testnet doesn'
t even behave like actual bitcoin, because magic rules, because reasons
mircea_popescu: the woman's sin ? she just... didn'
t think very much of random teenagers. this, terribru sin for the teenagers in question.
ascii_field: <mircea_popescu> at some point, once you discover that X isn'
t a proper master, nor Y nor Z, the realisation is forcibly dawned on you that perhaps you just suck. << the popular version of this was, iirc, 'the bad dancer is hindered by his own arse'
trinque: points at a thing I don'
t have a word for.
mircea_popescu: at some point, once you discover that X isn'
t a proper master, nor Y nor Z, the realisation is forcibly dawned on you that perhaps you just suck.
mircea_popescu: if you equivocate between master and idiot, don'
t expect me to be able to say much
trinque: mircea_popescu: exactly right though; when college didn'
t provide that experience for me, I left it and went to work for the entrepreneurs I knew, learned there
trinque: it didn'
t select the text that time, but plonked me on the paragraph
trinque: in the case where the older dude has made something of himself already, he knows tasks the novice won'
t ever think of doing himself, novice comes away having found out he can build an X
trinque: mircea_popescu: point of my statement was that if the person's put to what they're actually best suited for, their opinion if it matters at all isn'
t worth hearing until they've felt what it's like
mircea_popescu: it looks so badly like water poisoning you can'
t imagine.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field dude i must have missed some memos here. last i recall, that was pretty much the only point of interest. i blinked and now everyone seems to be running around trying to pretend like they can do things they most obviously can'
t.
ascii_field: i can'
t imagine too many folks would be the least bit interested in discovering what they are 'best suited for'
mircea_popescu: "why do you think you're an olympic athlete ?" "~~~BECAUSE~~~ I'm a quadriplegic. If I weren'
t, I wouldn'
t give a shit about the olympics, like everyone else."

trinque: undefined in js means the property or varname hasn'
t been given a value, whereas null is a value meaning... no value
ascii_field: <mircea_popescu> bitcoin is the gold standard for everything else. that's actually what the word bitcoin means << then very clearly we don'
t have bitcoin yet
mircea_popescu: you don'
t want the hard sort of thing you're thinking about. you just want an impredictable sort of tandem.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> i don'
t get why they'd make a x86 sparc. << this is scary. i'd think you'd lose all ops/clock-cycle optimizations doing some translation between the two right?
mircea_popescu: give it a coupla years, they won'
t even be able to fix anything anymore because of deployment
jurov: it isn'
t so inconceivable to point an antenna to sky and scan for reflected 2.4ghz sources
mircea_popescu: i didn'
t know they had rockets fast enough even. wtf is this.
jurov: mats: i still don'
t understand you
mod6: yeah, I don'
t remember having that problem before with CS... but maybe i'd forgotten?!
ascii_field: as far as i'm concerned, if it won'
t compile on my box, for my box, it doesn'
t exist
ascii_field: (the only reason we don'
t build bitcoind on pogo is the ram-poverty)
ascii_field: or do you consider any box where you can'
t suck down prebuilt packages from the net, to be 'a bitch to run'
