BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> (unlike eg "biking naked", gardening naked makes
a lot of sense. skin washes better than any garment, which is why sane societies have kids under 10 or so in the buff. way the fuck better to step on the anglotard notions of "pudicity" than to crimp the kids' style.) << Notice naked gardening day is not during blackberry harvesting season
mircea_popescu: really, it's everyone's own and arbitrary job to keep the thing running in such
a way as to not come to regret it later.
phf`:
a half empty hall, with old lords, most of them asleep or otherwise engaged in completely unrelated activities, etc.
mircea_popescu: well, you always gotta strike
a balance. if you keep people physically in
a room to listen to what you say as youi say it, they will go mad. they're present in
a specific sort of ghost form.
phf`: this is
a proper house of lords, there's
a quorum, but most of the "present" members are "asleep"
phf`: i take it, you don't use
a bouncer, it's
a long running xchat from your bunker?
mircea_popescu: there is
a problem with long lived connections. what if you lose the terminal ?
phf`: i feel like i have to do it roughly once
a year, in fact, every time freenode changes their ssl. i listened to the advice of the wise this time and switched to plain text
deedbot: diana_coman rated mihi 1 << Wrote
a Wireshark dissector script for Eulora protocol.

shinohai: I agree .... I use aspell with
a custom dictionary it is so bad.

mircea_popescu: guy brought back the whole of the spanish colonial empire, england indian-gifted him
a shitty palace.
mircea_popescu: mod6 i had cashew paste (little butter, hint of balsamic, fenilgreek and tarragon) salmon. with
a very fine bottle of chianti. just waking up from the food coma.
mircea_popescu: what duke of this called himself "
a warrior" and what the holy fuck, i thought this guy was supposed to be literate ? wtf happened at, say, agincourt ?
BingoBoingo: And apparently US DOJ refuses to yeild to Trumpreich orders re:"What's
a body of water?"
mod6: but, let's not worry about that for now, i got
a working env on my side.
mircea_popescu: yes but it put together
a maschinengewehr 42 when i followed wthem
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i ordered
a kubinetes book but got instead an ikea box.
mod6: ok will look in just
a sec here.
trinque: I see
a bias of my own here, towards tuning out noise.
trinque: and removing those tags > running the thing through
a giant wad of browser
BingoBoingo: In other news, Canada is trying to start
a Dairy trade war with US\
ben_vulpes: that wouldn't lead to
a node pegging 100% cpu, would it?
trinque: sure. Framedragger meanwhile with
a headless chrome will have all the attack surface anybody ever wanted
☟︎ mircea_popescu: heck, if everyone forgot how to "web 2.0" tomorrow, this'd be
a greater gain for human culture than the discovery of fucking penicillin.
trinque: got it; was trying to understand why have
a browser involved in the archiving
BingoBoingo: In other idiotgeneering, Neighbors on the other side of the Mississippi are bitching and moaning about "OMG, towns [
a,b,c] have had second 500 year flood in 18 months!!!" meanwhile only marginalized commentators are raising the issue of "Why did we let the Chesterfield valley get levees and suburbs?" Apparently people raising the issue that building levees for new construction turns meandring floods into energetic and giant log flume rid
mod6: when i first moved into this place, the huge silver-maple tree was touching the high-wire during
a storm. the branch actually caught fire in the rain. started to spread down the branch quite
a ways...
BingoBoingo: <shinohai> So there is this chick that calls herself "Lil Wafarin" on twitter sent me
a message. When I casually asked why she chose rat poison as her nom de guerre, she goes ballistic. << BwAHAHAHAHAHAH
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> standard kerosene is 46MJ/kg. the boeing carries about 63k liters, and kerosene density is about .82 << Aha, this seems to be
a source of common misunderstanding. That Jet fuel is
a kerosene "heating oil" and not
a gasoline exploding oil
mod6: hell, sometimes
a storm can come through here, knock down lines; the tree guys might have to clear debris, power guys gotta hook up new equip and lines, can take ~12-24 hours
mircea_popescu: haven't seen good salesmen for
a long while pre coming back here. you know that, BOTH
a) not be obnoxious and b) talk to you. not one, or the other. fucking both.
mod6: take
a while to get it back on?
mircea_popescu: fortunately the soil isn't very good. if it were the rich black stuff, that sucks
a lot of water, forget about it.
mod6: there
a fair amount of mudslides/erosion?
mircea_popescu: they'd just have
a bunch of disparate torsos collected in the valley.
mircea_popescu: they can't be arsed with switchbacks here. fuck it they say, make it 25% and let you drive in 1st for
a few hours, what of it.
mod6: ahh. trying to showboat found him
a strategically placed hydrant.
mod6: sounds like you dodged
a kid on
a bike the other day too.
shinohai: Perhaps she is
a serial killer that uses Coumadin to poison her victims.

danielpbarron: the effects of this weapon go on long after it as been deactivated. there was
a building near the WTC that suffered minimal damage and was repaired, only to be demolished months later because the structure rotted. the metal looked as if it had been submerged in the ocean for
a century
mircea_popescu: can now and again see
a line, gets 2nd year physicists all excited.
mircea_popescu: you can't really cold-fuse water's hydrogens, because the tightly bound oxygen works as
a sort of equivalent of
a moderator.
mircea_popescu: tecnically, i suppose fuel-air bombs are "directed [thermal] energy", for
a very weak specification of "directed"
danielpbarron: there is
a woman named Judy Wood who came up with this theory, and she has
a lot of evidence to back it up
danielpbarron: it wasn't
a laser. it was some thing that causes
a sort of cold fusion that turns atoms into other atoms, and causes atoms and molecules to repel eachother. it caused the buildings to turn to dust mid-air
trinque: "directed energy weapon" is
a whole other level of strange
mod6: at the end of the page it says "distill
a days worth of entropy and xor in place"
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron i take the laser because notwithstanding the ample lossage generally discussed as "slope efficiency", photon beams are the most efficient em "weapons". actual ion beams are even worse than the 3-5%ish laser. so you know, someone somewhere had to burn 50 TJ or so to deliver the same effect, plus whatever the intervening air ate up. you know how air looks if traversed by
a TJ laser ?
mod6: asciilifeform: even in the case of
a swap?
mod6: After doing such, I have
a hard time thinking how that would be cryptographically helpful. So perhaps the former is correct? Just looking for
a heads up.
danielpbarron: if jet fuel, why wasn't there
a million tons of debris at ground zero? why wasn't there any significant seismic activity?
mod6: basically, I was just wondering about the verbage there and how I aught to "distill"; my first inclination was to go two bytes at
a time, xor them together, output 1 byte. but then after sleeping on it, and
a search of "xor in place", i thought maybe it meant to take: 0A0B and swap to 0B0A.
mircea_popescu: well yes, as
a matter of fact i keep doing that math. it keeps coming up here, about how
a liter of gasoline is 1.5 MJ and there ain't no electric battery even come close etc.
mod6: and that's the main thing. i really care about trying to fit it in head, as opposed to "compiler" concerns at this time with ffa. however, my other little sample shits i've been trying to make are probably going to go
a lot better now that i have
a 'sane' environment.
danielpbarron: there's pretty substantial evidence that the WTC buildings were destroyed with
a "directed energy weapon"
mod6: <+asciilifeform>
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-04#1651852 << i'ma have to do
a likbez when i get home. mod6 did you even split the ads and adb pieces? ( i pasted them into same paste, for ease of reading ) << yup. that was the first thing I encountered. but indeed, much easier to read.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: this whole "nefarious AND COMPETENT lizard usg" theory would fare
a lot better if it weren;t the case that during ~WELL EXPECTED~ hurricane hit about 500bn in negotiable paper got ruined.
mircea_popescu: this shit isn't in any sense rational. it's not properly speaking belief, like some believe jesus gives
a shit about them or whatever, moses turned piss to vinegar. this is more like fatlogic,
a convenient and therefore self-perpetuating earworm. whatever the problem, they'll just pretend like it's caused by you know, something somewhere being left behind, like they're playing old sierra quest games.
mircea_popescu: socialist paradise of the future to be enacted through having more people involved. just like they think the country will fare better, politically, by having more low information voters added to the rolls, and just like clinton genuinely thought the economy will gain by having more black morons with "home ownership". even if it was
a purely scriptural matter.
ben_vulpes: taking as
a given that more insured ===== better
BingoBoingo: Idiocy is like water, it doesn't have
a firm peak. Sometime it floods, but the high point is
a "crest" not
a peak.
BingoBoingo: Anyways local interstate highways have spent time closed this week because of water, fuck that's
a lot of water, OMG is the river changing its course?, and TREE! Tree happened when ground became too wet to support continued rooting
