shinohai: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-31#1635107 <<< /me has only heard of teh collapse, caused by 'massive fire' - yet I have yet to hear what caused the fire in the first place. ☝︎
trinque: https://www.liveleak.com/view?i=e11_1490918366
trinque: https://www.liveleak.com/view?i=7a3_1490929288 << (shitty) footage
trinque: I did not properly record my lol at that idea.
trinque: seriously, I once considered starting some kind of labor camp where you bus these guys in and just have 'em toil on whatever
trinque: so offer to pump my gas for me while I sit on my mobile throne. I might throw a couple bucks.
trinque: the first tried to touch me, so I told him to fuck off. the second kept his distance, so I helpfully let him know he should manage his money better.
trinque: relatedly, two separate bums asked for money when I was fueling a very nice truck just now.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well tomorrow I guess I'll have to spend my guess on Liberia.
asciilifeform: shinohai: incidentally he had a 'we have MOAR!' article, containing a small number of the ones we popped at the time, plus some that i still have nfi where the corresponding pubkeys lived
asciilifeform: ( when i loopback it, connecting its arse and mouth -- worx )
asciilifeform: i expect it would also work quite well for 'data diode' and similar applications.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-30 18:46 asciilifeform: https://shop.mikroe.com/click/interface/fiber-opt-33v << finally, what i had in mind.
asciilifeform: so far it seems like the filter was designed CORRECTLY -- i.e. the setup makes 0 measurable difference, e.g., 'ent' takes ~same volume of bytes to converge pi as prior.
asciilifeform: i suppose i do have to.
asciilifeform: ^ is it obvious what is in the picture or do i have to explain.
shinohai: I actually used to have a brass doorknob shaped like a tit, gave it to one of my friends as a going-away present.
mircea_popescu: suquant i guess
mircea_popescu: i used to piss on the faces of the "online marketing experts" in ro just about the same way. various foreign pr/medioa agencies opened local offices because hey, gotta pretend coverage ; hired locals because idiots ; locals decided "THIS MEANS WE ARE COMPETENT"
Framedragger: you know, i've never seen this pattern so excellently executed. tip-top. straight from the 'how to survive as a tick' rulebook. (maybe because i can follow closely in native tongue and have keener sense of smell towards these fucks)
mircea_popescu: romania is no better ; i would expect the issue is universal.
mircea_popescu: http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20170330/#373 << the trotsky look for a new generation. compare/contrast http://trilema.com/2015/fetlife-the-meat-market/#footnote_4_60010 or some other pics i can't currently find lol.
Framedragger: see, it may have been supposed to be *him*. next year will mark 100y of independence, parades, state fiatola for 'history research' assigned, etc.; but beyond the banal, i *particularly* like the transparent sheer *indignation* by the 'historians' that this dude just.. read some books.. lifted his ass up.. took a bus to berlin (literally).. and that's it.
Framedragger: especially their leader, this ridiculous fat turd who nevertheless is featured in various tv shitshows ('to popularise history', you know) -- he's just plain jelly as fuck, (quote) "i don't even know this schmuck, some kind of driver (sic; literal), i would have great doubts as to the document's authenticity [meanwhile confirmed by germany archivists etc etc etc]", so on and so forth, in a complete caricature-like jelly manner.
mircea_popescu: i suppose this is the current-day equivalent of the demo scene. "uhm... we can't code... but we'd like to hang out with you dudes... can we do anything ? i mean besides sucking cock, something we can display in public"
shinohai: Far less eye-burning than cryptocoinsnews. I would love to personally douse their art department with gas and set them alight.
phf: i remember making pictures like that for my 1337 h4x0r homepage back in 98 or so. that's how i learned Gimp!
mircea_popescu: what's this do ? am i intuitively primed to uinderstand the topic now ?
mircea_popescu: http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20170330/#346 << i lolkek'd.
a111: Logged on 2015-11-15 01:17 mircea_popescu: i have this pile of very secret derpage here including the very expert "profile" of some random derp explaining how an elderly, principled gentleman is perhaps going to react crazily to the crass injustice of this entire scheme.
shinohai: I did a Qntra on that, not sure if he is hoping everyone forgot or what.
asciilifeform: ( is the last one entirely worn out ? or still going? i have nfi )
shinohai: Considering the source, I'm not surprised with the short attention spans and lack of long-term memory.
Framedragger: i thought that was somehow obscurely intentional (but didnt understand why)
phf: ah, i only have 2nd edition (1996). i agree though they went downhill from there. i don't think even armstrong's next book is particularly good
mircea_popescu: i been trying to recall what it is, something alpha/beta something
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i do not know what every particular chukcha calls every particular flashlight.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i believe teh "red pill community" calls this something.
mircea_popescu: ok, so, in junior high, this friend confessed to me (under the strictest confidence!!! which i've not to date betrayed, either. totally forgot it)
mircea_popescu: poetess you know. "fuck you, i'm a poetess!"
mircea_popescu: i can tell you, but you sure you want to know ?
mircea_popescu: i know what fucking ericsson was tyvm.
mircea_popescu: nono i was talking about "imho it is a mistake to make such a piece. folx who did not appreciate it from the b00k, had no business touching it"
trinque: mircea_popescu: I am, but from a particular perspective, I'm sure
mircea_popescu: trinque i can see it yeah.
trinque: yes, I'm aware
asciilifeform: trinque: erlang wasn't simply about 'uptime', or even 'no pointer arithmetic', it also was the only case i know of where process migration actually worked ☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: can't say i spent all that much time investigating.
mircea_popescu: then perhaps i am mistaken and indeed it doesn't belong in that list.
mircea_popescu: i can compile javascript to bytecode. what's that prove ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i will also nitpick : 'erlang' does not belong in the list, it was a 1980s product that worked quite well in its industrial niche (large telco switches) but was later stolen and used as a totem by the folx from yesterday's thread ( http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-29#1633873 ) ☝︎☟︎☟︎
trinque: in re: "systems programming language" it's a way of retconning C into a category with many possible members defined by "I am very smart, and could, you know, build an operating system in this"
trinque: asciilifeform: as I understand it, which is at a distance, they added an extra type system, concurrency tools, and memory management for phree, and decided this needed its own syntax
a111: Logged on 2017-03-30 14:04 mircea_popescu: i'm not saying "rust is bad mmkay". i couldn't care less, there's been tons of "new languages" fulfilling the need of people to "revolutionize". they all work, exactly in the way custom pliers work.
trinque: nah, I don't write the stuff. just was subjected to some fat idiot prattling on about rust one night
mircea_popescu: i have nfi why they imagine this. in point of fact the system that delivers milk in a bottle so they don't have to milk their own cow is MORE complex, not less.
mircea_popescu: "automated" is a byword for "i don't have to do any work".
mircea_popescu: i do not believe so.
mircea_popescu: anyway, fucking tard. "my name is mircea_popescu ; i've been using chairs pretty much every day since the late 70s, and recently i started getting involved in this fantastic chair community"
mircea_popescu: i'm not buying custom pliers, and the pretense of the custom plier fans that their custom pliers ain't custom but standard is uninteresting.
mircea_popescu: i'm not saying "rust is bad mmkay". i couldn't care less, there's been tons of "new languages" fulfilling the need of people to "revolutionize". they all work, exactly in the way custom pliers work. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: " My name is Joel Jacobson. I’ve been using PostgreSQL almost every day since 2002. Recently, I started getting involved in the community around this fantastic RDBMS."
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-30#1634660 << "My motivation is primarily I don't want to learn all the over-complicated details of C, but at the same time I would like to be productive in a safe system language, a category in which Rust seems to be alone." ☝︎
asciilifeform: generally i try to avoid drive.
pete_dushenski: so i'll drive citroen and you can drive dreams!
asciilifeform: i see places where you could dent it.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-30#1634606 << nonsense. i see 1) curved panels 2) not held on with external bolts ☝︎
pete_dushenski: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-29#1633653 << heh. exactly this. i thought these kids and their 'bitcoin embassy' died in 2013. apparently still around doing who knows the fuck what. having 'meetups' with increasingly aged and decrepit demographics no doubt. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-03-29 23:05 asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: speaking of which, tell me, how come i can't buy a car where if it dents, i can just take off a panel and put in new one ?
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> ben_vulpes: speaking of which, tell me, how come i can't buy a car where if it dents, i can just take off a panel and put in new one ? << I have exactly this fucking thing. Also most incidents that would dent metal don't dent.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-30 00:08 phf: i think i should go back to just pasting titles tho
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-29#1634530 << all i can say is doh, as well as http://btcbase.org/log/2016-01-12#1368457 ☝︎☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-29#1634383 << i lollered. ftr, baroul suceava = the bar association of suceava county. ☝︎
trinque: I'd thought that perhaps coke machines are what patrol looking for folks outside their VR wombs.
phf: i think i should go back to just pasting titles tho ☟︎
asciilifeform: and for all i know -- whole thing is disinfo
ben_vulpes: oh god i know conde nasty is persona non grata but this is gold
ben_vulpes: silly me, i thought the movie was called "nostalgatron from home planet"
asciilifeform: and lol, i had nfi it had an english pedipage.
CompanionCube: I think the video is from this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guest_from_the_Future
asciilifeform: i can already picture mircea_popescu's barfometer redzoning, tho.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: speaking of which, tell me, how come i can't buy a car where if it dents, i can just take off a panel and put in new one ? ☟︎
ben_vulpes: phf: some days i dream of making a car like that
asciilifeform: there were aluminum ones, pieces'o'shit, aha, i have one even here
phf: ben_vulpes: nah it was a piece of shit. i got one from walmart and it's pretty good. advantage though was that you could repair it for years, and since there was only ~one~ type, you could also replace parts for years, etc.
asciilifeform: i slept on one for 1st decade of life
ben_vulpes: i imagine there's some "oh no, you couldn't possibly imagine the superiority of the su raskladushka" inbound
ben_vulpes: army surplus thing, was amazing until i handled it roughly packing up from a burn and bent one of the struts.
ben_vulpes: aaah i had a cot for many years!
ben_vulpes: tell me something i don't know
phf: oh ffs, i gotta fix my client
phf: i still think that the reason is that there are no lizards in a recognizable form (i.e. the 1984, hugo boss clad), it's all a chomsky style dependency graph, and the complexity so high, micro level so varied, that nobody can make sense of it
asciilifeform: ( modern lizards, i picture, understood -- correctly -- that if these bovines didn't take to arms and burn down the capital when crops were burned in the '30s -- they certainly won't revolt today. )
asciilifeform: ( in '90s ru, rumours of massive warehouses where cheese rotted, milk soured, meat fed maggots -- proliferated. and i'm quite convinced they are not baseless. )
asciilifeform: every time i walk by these, i wonder if they even have plumbing fixtures, mains sockets, etc
phf: i don't think aspirin though is a good example, because "obviously" there aren't any aspirin shortages. likewise there are obviously no housing shortages, doctor shortages, etc. etc.
asciilifeform: ^ aha, what i just said
asciilifeform: can't seem to find -- maybe i dreamed it.
phf: ben_vulpes: if your hendging against devaluation happens in bezzle terms, but your more tax is the "guberment done it", than this distinction makes sense. i don't think that in reality more tax just happens, it's a process by which devaluation graph gets readjusted
phf: ben_vulpes: i'm sure there's some ideological angle where two are not the same, but from where i sit...
