mod6: no, i mean, what's super weird is that it hasn'
t crashed since we started really looking into it.
shinohai: lmao forgot I had put that there when kakobrekla kept asking why I wasn'
t over in tmdr xD
mircea_popescu: "This last paranthesis also explains why crime fightin' is never a "the people" affair, in case you're curious. It's not some sort of evil conspiracy to keep "the citizens" ("the people" call themselves that when unsure of their footing) from exercising "justice". It's just that practically, left to their own devices, "the people" couldn'
t care less." or how did that go.
mircea_popescu: you understand this, yes, there's gotta be something there to surrender, you can'
t surrender bare swamp.

a111: Logged on 2016-02-15 17:58 asciilifeform: specifically how there is no place in usa where one can 'i will pay double for non-monsanto but i don'
t give a fuck about 'gmo' and i sure as fuck don'

☟︎ mircea_popescu: i wouldn'
t believe a single thing pr claims about buffett, seeing how that's the customary treatment for proven liars.
BingoBoingo: The US isn'
t Uruguay. The US can'
t afford to make ferrocement the residential building material. How will the police break in?
hanbot: pity these can'
t be trained
BingoBoingo: IIrc the lawyering profession in the US isn'
t employing law school graduates anymore because what's the point of having ambitious interns if they are afraid to fuck them
mircea_popescu: what's the idea, nobody ever fucked an ambitious intern, can'
t imagine what "law firms" are like ?
mircea_popescu: specific example of why i say war is fun -- not only losses don'
t count, but their replenishment consists of fucking a buncha women, whether they want to or not.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform war is specifically this arrangement where you don'
t count the losses. who's gonna fine the victor for his more expensive tanks in terms of "wildlife-variety" ?
mircea_popescu: so in this sense, because the
t-34 cost 18 units and provided 6.5 to 30 or so sovheads while tiger cost 77 units and provided .1 to 24 naziheads, we can resolve the matter : 18 for 195 vs 77 for 2.4
mircea_popescu: in any case, the problem in terms of "1 tiger is said to have been match for 2-3
t-34" is already misstated. the point is : marginal war gain per german soldier from tiger was like .1, marginal war gain per soviet soldier from
t-34 was like 6.5
mircea_popescu: turns out the correct cut lay so close to "don'
t bother", russki not-even-replaceable-parts accidental constructs were closer than the finely zeiss'd german items
mircea_popescu: of course, in fairness, there's some hidden lulz in there : turns out tank ~seems~ perfect assault weapon, but ~in fact~ is perfect infantry support weapon. which is why
t-34 won over both kv and tiger ; and why the best use of tanks came from north africa, where there being no "armored positions to storm", tanks could be used correctly (if uncomprehendingly) by the germans too.
mircea_popescu: by same token, moon landing is not american, american is moon landing. a moon landing's just like a moon landing is, your lookup table consists of "who did that ?" not of "what'd this doing indicate". without preloaded history, you wouldn'
t know.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-01 13:07 asciilifeform: largely because of the 'don'
t clean the air filter' tale mircea_popescu told asciilifeform et al on the shore in buenos aires
mircea_popescu: it wasn'
t ~just~ leadership that gave up, let gorby in. i suspect it was just about everyone capitulating by 1985
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform aha. tech transferred for i don'
t recall what economic deal in the 70s
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i have the converse problem. alternator dies on road, /me takes car back to (otherwise very competent, and very able) independent mechanic who charged 75 an hour for tools and labour to find what needs changing and then install mp's parts (75 CENTS!!!). "why the fuck was not this on the bill ?" "ah, it wasn'
t really broken yet, still hung on a thread".
☟︎ mircea_popescu: except apparently gypsies don'
t grow fast enough for the us, notwithstanding they marry the girls once they bleed. so the locals build out of pine and then charge to fix it.
mircea_popescu: and yes mod6 is the mark of all time, always ready to pay for such a superficial and self-evident scam. cuz he's a well bred midwestern man whom you can'
t help but love (notwithstanding the cockroaches can'
t help but fleece).
BingoBoingo: The only reason mod6's sill plate problem is exceptional is someone looked at his sill plate. In USistan most people don'
t know they have the sill plate problem because they never look.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform because they don'
t believe in the oppresive multi-generartional patriarchal home.
mod6: This all started because we need a new door, it's old as shit, and all the weather stripping is bad, etc. So of course, this isn'
t std door size. So I paid some good money to have a custom one made to size. When the carp came out to install it, the first thing he did was pull off one piece of molding, and stuck his file down in the bottom area where that joist is located, and it pushed right through.
☟︎ mod6: Once the siding is removed then there might be an easy way to get at the outer joist and pull it off -- which runs the entire length of the frame along the base. Now there could be more rotten in there, or it ~could~ just be the rim joist, but won'
t know until it's all apart.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-30 16:00 asciilifeform: rms is tragicomic precisely ~because~ he won'
t let go of fundamentally usgistic thinking
mircea_popescu: i don'
t understand how these misfortunate kids are supposed to respect the human failures using them for props.
mircea_popescu: (the view that gpg aka koch-rsa leaks bits via signature isn'
t entirely dispelled even today)
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: This time, don'
t saw your toothbrush. I can put together a reception basket with human sized toothbrush.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-14 01:17 mircea_popescu: doesn'
t that look suspicious.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: When you book your ticket expect more Spanish/Spanglish because I haven'
t had a sustained spoken conversation in English since early December.
mircea_popescu: i recall folks asking, and you saying ok, rather than "you know what... i don'
t even recall who made this kernel, maybe i remake it when i have time befgore oking this"
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i ~also~ find it peculiar your dc wouldn'
t have alerted you in case of thermal trip. because in general they have sensors. << There was a ground fault alarm tripped in the datacenterś fire supression system over the weekend, but the time doesn's line up with the beginning of this reset crisis.
mircea_popescu: man. cpu doesn'
t overheat in a vacuum, gimme a break already.
mircea_popescu: i ~also~ find it peculiar your dc wouldn'

mircea_popescu: weren'
t you shipping a bunch of new rams to make it ?!
trinque: ftr I don'
t need a month's comp for a few hours of outage, though a few hours of outage does suck.
shinohai: Haven'
t completed build yet since mod6 published, but have tried the old method which unsurprisingly went fantastic.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-14 04:15 mircea_popescu: i'd like a computer where i didn'
t have this sort of problem.
mircea_popescu: so somehow "you can'
t run for city council, you're not 2nd gen azn immigrant" not quite as threatening as "you're fat because you eat too much and never get off ass" ?
mircea_popescu: i dunno why they're so butthurt by the ~statistical~ fact. just because average black is going to be dumber than average human doesn'
t say any one black person's gonna be dumb or anything like that.
BingoBoingo: Well he had the symbolic "any key" that wasn'
t connected to anything
mod6: I don'
t doubt. That seems off for sure.
mod6: My one node I've got now, is still on that bad hardware as I haven'
t found a new home for it yet. Sometimes, if I just let it "figure itself out", it'll return eventually and be fine. I agree though, would be nice to get to a root cause of this by some form of testing. Hard to mimic the state, regardless.
BingoBoingo: Please deliver instructions in #pizarro as I don'
t know how much log troubleshooting is going to generate
diana_coman: basically we don'
t have a windows maintainer anymore; and yes, last parts in there were ~2016
shinohai: ( I wrote initial post on Friday, minigame.bz wasn'
t responding then when I did post research - only thing I got was the logs subdomain)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform BingoBoingo yo, you can'
t have multi hour outages, wtf.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, neah, it's that part that I did not move over to the html server because it wasn'
t up to date really
