mircea_popescu: oh yeah, totally forgot to gloat. so today on highway going to town, crash in front of me. then on the way back... crash in front of me. this one actually made traffic crawl, so
i told the driver to switch lanes. because he wasn't going in the faster one.
shinohai: Nah least
I didn't consider it disrespectful.
I was genuinely curious.
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.
danielpbarron:
i don't know, but the levels of tritium at ground zero were much higher than what you'd expect
mircea_popescu: tecnically,
i suppose fuel-air bombs are "directed [thermal] energy", for a very weak specification of "directed"
trinque:
I had not heard that particular tinfoil
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: 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.
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.
mircea_popescu: well, supposedly revoler, directed matter weapon ?
i dunno
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.

I totally should have just checked that the version alignment on the thing. It was weird because simple things would compile.... like really simple things. But when it came to the more complex, ffa for example, was getting weird error messages. But at least, hey, it's out there, it has some sharp edges.
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.

I've ever used Cpanel at any point in my internet life.
ben_vulpes: in particular
i find the "number of insured will decline" line amusing

☟︎☟︎ mod6: <+ben_vulpes> mod6:
i think it's grand << aha. ok sounds good then.
shinohai: Also, am
I delusional or did s.qntr price increase this round
mircea_popescu:
i suppose the next helping out of the ever fertile well of these idiots' imagination is you know, "bitcoin is money because we've been acting like it were for long enough and everyone really cares what we act like!!!"
trinque: funny enough this was exactly what
I was thinking about in the shower
Framedragger: trinque: yeah, that was too optimistic,
i agree
Framedragger: sounds like a good idea :)
i think "3 months" is a nice bare-minimum, but there's actually not enough data. controlled studies are with mice etc., and field observations have too many confounding variables (alcohol, weed, etc.; also, *body temperature* (most important catalyst of deprivation of antioxidants it seems, many fall prey to this, underhydrated, etc.))
lobbes: Oh god,
I couldn't imagine that. Talk about brain frying
lobbes:
I try to space my mdma experiences between several years even
shinohai:
I never get tired of that one .... There is a version somewhere that the NY Philharmonic butchered by performing a bit too presto for my taste.
Framedragger:
i think the simile of "lsd is like being given a coredump" is apt (actually heard this from an opioid affictionado). you're sorta-given-all-the-data, but then what. mdma on the other hand is in-between a psychedelic (you still get that psychedelic experience, to a point) and a stimulant (which in its case acts as "guidance", of sorts).
lobbes: More aware of "fuck
I actually have no control after all!!"
lobbes: Trappings of power vs power
I imagine. "Ah shit, can't relax, can't sleep. Ah this mellows shit out"
shinohai:
I don't think

☟︎ mircea_popescu: people from the future will look at these boneheaded decades incomprehendingly. never before, and
i expect never after, has so much business been destroyed by "really passionate" imbeciles "who wanted to".
a111: Logged on 2017-05-04 10:14 phf: afaik gnat is built as part of gcc,
i.e. it's one of possible artifacts produced during gcc suite compilation, so you shouldn't have a situation of non matching versions, and if you do it's most likely not going to work right. the easiest approach is to build matching gcc/gnat into their own directory structure, and change PATH when you're working with gnat projects.
i think package managers going the other way and try and carefully match gcc/gnat
mircea_popescu: amusingly it improved significantly right after
i said that. coincidental,
i'm sure,. and not to last, obviously.
mircea_popescu: yes, it sounds way the fuck better in the abstract (if you're clueless, entirely devoid of either experience, any faculty for thought and any inclination to resolve either). but it's the same god damned thing -- the desire of "visual thinkers" to introduce new glyphs in the alphabet so they don't get "constrained" in their "creativity" by the present set exactly mirrors the need of the house fly to get some garbage going so

☟︎ phf: mod6: this is anathem, but you could split the learning of ada and the build from sources into separate unrelated projects by downloading a prebuilt binary from adacore. that's what
i did first,
http://libre.adacore.com/download/ unpack whatever version ./doinstall puts all the binaries (including its own version of gcc) into a subdir structure you specify
ben_vulpes: endless lulzrabbit hole, this: "
I seriously considered quitting the industry in 1997 when Apple Computer was concluding its acquisition of NeXT. Imagine if the president of General Motors said, in 1997, "It has come to my attention that our cars are kind of clunky and unreliable. Don't worry, though. We're rectifying this problem by licensing the blueprints to the 1985 Toyota Camry."
mod6:
i've been afk too much lately. :/
shinohai:
I have a guest tonite of the Georgian persuasion who made some kind of funky Stroganoff that
i'm not gonna argue with.
shinohai:
I'm thankful the Republic accepts my contributions. Where else the fuck would someone like me go?
shinohai: BingoBoingo:
I'm honestly *incredulous* 2 years have passed so quickly. The lulz have been as worthy as the shares, and that's value.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> o hey, foundation owning shares, too ? << at first
I was thinking that these might need to be realised into btc and sent to the addy... but
i don't see any restrictions on asset ownership. as long as jurov writes in a line item in the report at least.
shinohai: Since all the other scammers can come up with a coin,
I - The Baron Titsbare - should create a new algo called Proof of Jerk.
shinohai:
I'm sure if she tugs on 'em a bit they will swing more clockwise.
ben_vulpes: "you meant yards, right? and
i have to convert cc's to yards somehow!"
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes
i knew a cat that couldn't take people hyperventilating.
ben_vulpes: hey
i have a passion for 80-foot statistical anomalies
ben_vulpes:
i can't imagine ja rule's passion for the ocean extends past terra yacht-a
mircea_popescu: "from the ground up" is in there, too.
i'm giving even odds for "sweat blood and tears".
mircea_popescu: "o hi jane
i see you are making bread ?" "no it is not bread it is croutons".
mircea_popescu: but
i thought he was like you know, a big deal and all that. cointrepreneur, rogerver, jesusomething ?
phf:
i saw a cool edition of blake's works in powell's in portland. it was a folio reproduction of his designs, with complete Marriage, etc. unfortunately it was something like $400, and
i just couldn't justify buying it then
mircea_popescu: Framedragger guy's managing office space, supposedly
i'm the one to illustrate the difference between a restaurant and a real estate holding co. "oh, you mean the restaurant takes meal orders from walk-ins on the premises owned by the landlord ?!?! TELL ME MORE OF THIS WEIRD FAR AWAY PLANET!!11"
mircea_popescu: dude, just call. nevermind the "questions" and rest of the crap. spend 1/10 of the time you frittered away already "on" this to call, write up your report, "
i, pete d, aspiring to one day lordship, spent 8 hours today cold calling.
i managed a total of 76 calls, which would get me fired from the average call center but hey,
i'm new. these 76 calls went to so and so, here's the script, here's why
i ammended it and when, here's
☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎ Framedragger: nah even
i am clear by now
i think, and that tells ya something :D an isp may or may not own a dc. an isp has hardware at a dc. isp deals with customers (be it private or business), a dc deals with isps. in this picture if you are colocating at a dc, you are (in mp's picture) an isp, basically.
pete_dushenski: ok. so
i call them all today. except
i'm still not clear wtf is an isp and wtf is a dc. you use them interchangeably it seems.
mircea_popescu: or is it going to be the case that you'll go through the motions of pretending interest in whatevert topic du jour and
i'm not going to say anything because
i';m lazy ? what's the thinking ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu:
i'm sure it sounds exactly like throwing out the nubile young daughter out with the cumrag to they afflicted.
jurov:
i'll just keep them and gleefully report them monthly until mod6 and ben_vulpes move
Framedragger:
i was wondering how this'd work accounting-wise :D
mircea_popescu: except it's not a boeing, it's a woman, and the flipping and licking by children does not get her going. even if
i doing the ~exact same thing~ end up with an ex-lesbian in my living room.
jhvh1: Framedragger: ue :: Term denoting [Urban Exploration]. Used as both a noun and a verb. The idea of urban adventure is also expressed via [URBEX] and [URBANEX]. [ex:] Let's UE the derelict old warehouse on Fifth Street tonight.
I'm acquainted with the tenets of UE. Today,
I document for posterity what will vanish tomorrow. [/ex] | User Error, from WikiPedia:The phrase User Error or USR error, is a technical term (4 more messages)
phf: well, the catacombs are technically consecrated, so that presumably makes the water holy?
i'm not sure what catholic rules for desecration are. taking stuff from catacombs is it for sure though
Framedragger: no :( wrong wording.
i sat down with him for a chat. did not record. because daft kid << sorry
Framedragger interviewed one guy "down there" (he had part of "cave" and christmas lights on wall, said he spend lots of time there, yeah not sure about dampness,
i mean god damn), said "oh yeah
i'm used to taking acid and getting lost here", nonchalant
Framedragger:
i know it sounds like bullshit, but serious suggestion: helmet. very uneven ceiling, lots of bumps (unless 100% careful)
phf:
i also haven't packed any exploration clothes. but
i have one more day, which is otherwise entirely free, so it's possible that we'll end up dropping on a whim
phf: girl's been sick, and
i don't think damp cold cavernous air is going to do her good
