asciilifeform: bought already iirc a coupla times. eventually will go to same glue factory as 'livejournal' etc
mircea_popescu: anyway, naked pics outliving in the public sphere the woman pictured seems morally dubious, exactly in the vein of old margo channing acting a "25 yo, age's unimportant -- [AS LONG AS SHES TWENTYSOMETHING!!!]".
asciilifeform: ( one of those surprisingly long-lived chumpatrons )
mircea_popescu: kinda why i even used tumblr. afaik the most stable of the heathentrons.
asciilifeform: oh hey, finally a heathnlink that doesn't die in ~months
mircea_popescu: what a day that was, april 3rd 2014.
a111: Logged on 2014-04-03 13:28 mircea_popescu: the point was never to agree. the point was to disagree well.
a111: 2014-09-10 <truffles> it bugs me when i dont resolve things..
asciilifeform: !#seen truffles
a111: 2013-02-05 <truffles> why would illumi's be interested in bitcoin though
asciilifeform: !#born truffles
a111: Logged on 2014-04-03 13:23 chetty: well perhaps none of us will live long enough to see the next centralization
asciilifeform: !!reputation truffles
asciilifeform: dun think he was nubbins, but who the fuq knows
mircea_popescu: is this early nubbins ?
a111: Logged on 2014-04-03 13:30 asciilifeform: truffles: it was a minor subplot. they find these critters on jupiter, living in the gas, and decide to study them. by building a machine which transforms people into them, so they can see what their life is like. and then, for years, no one returns to be converted back. eventually one fellow comes back. and tells how much more fun it is than being human. end result: mankind vanishes, converted to lopers.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, did i ever ask you what's "loper" supposed to denote ?
mircea_popescu: (in fairness, pretty sure it's also stated in romanian, which is what that "ancient" really denotes, but anyways.)
mircea_popescu: kinda lulzy how june 2014 gets to count as ancient in my head some point on or about july 2015. year-and-a-month!
mircea_popescu: (the "ancient" referenced there being http://trilema.com/2014/on-the-superiority-of-monarchy-or-adnotations-to-why-the-worst-get-on-top/#selection-155.0-155.557 ftr)
a111: Logged on 2015-07-05 22:31 mircea_popescu: if that 1% doesn't feel the state like a glove, the state's gone. kinda like my ancient "the state may exist inasmuch as and for as long as i can't tell it's there."
mircea_popescu: even before the obvious "my slaves have 0 problem with no freedom, but just try and not make sense", nobody fucking ever had a problem with freedom ~as such~, because it's not fucking possible. because http://btcbase.org/log/2015-07-05#1188784 ☝︎
asciilifeform: 'hey kiddo, how come you dun wanna set yer small intestines free ?! they want to explore world too! in their fly form'
mircea_popescu: freedom was never the fucking problem.
mircea_popescu: then they come with the "solution" to the not-making-sense problem by implementing "freedom", and sure enough there's idiots down the line wanting to stuff omlet in ear and piss out nose and be "transnourishal".
mircea_popescu: nobody ever fucking thinks about this, all the "oh, authoritarian irrespirable atmosphere at home!!!" complains never go along the lines of "but daddy, i want to be free, stuff omlet in my ear and piss out the nose!" "what are you, some kind of moron ?!" ; instead they always go along the lines of "but daddy, you're not making any fucking sense!" "shut up!"
mircea_popescu: "how come i don't, then !?" "three guesses."
mircea_popescu: "but people want to be free!!!" "no fucktard, gas wants to be free. people want to make sense."
asciilifeform: the pre-timberniers-tardation 'let's build a web' folx, understood this
asciilifeform: and yes if errybody agreed on a sane canonical text format, and actually exported that, search becomes ~trivial
asciilifeform: the moar fundamental problem is that 99.999....+% of the material is sewage
mircea_popescu: the problem with "web searching" always was this confounding, "there's no definition of page"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes, but that's fixedform, not freeform natlang
mircea_popescu: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=site%3Atrilema.com+%22and+in+other+dead+things%22&t=ffsb&ia=web << check out this lulz.
asciilifeform: indexing ain't actually so hard, but it dun scale to 1e12 nonpaying lolcats
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: observe that i was able to index 9.3 mil pgp comment strings somehao, on 1 iron, and with <1s lookup
a111: Logged on 2018-10-01 14:49 asciilifeform: recall the thread where mircea_popescu observed 'y'know those 'hard' murder cases, where detective sits an' thinks, well guess what , in new york they no longer do that, either obvious suspect or they shelve it nao'
asciilifeform: the lolcatnet and the thinkingpeoplenet, living in same fabric, is a historic accident, rather like sov communal flats where physics prof lived with a furnace stoker . it's to be corrected.
mircea_popescu: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=site%3Atrilema.com+dead+things&t=ffsb&ia=web << look at this stupid shit.
mircea_popescu: there's much less of interest on the whole fucking internet than there, it's the bigger half of the web, none of this shit where i search for dead or freenode and that's not on the results.
asciilifeform: oh hey that was it.
mircea_popescu: fuck you, shitsearch webside, INDEX TRILEMA.
mircea_popescu: jesus the online searchers are utter shit.
asciilifeform: ( where was that mircea_popescu piece, where mircea_popescu looked for signs of life )
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform supposedly big deal in this "foss" thing i never heard about. i dunno.
asciilifeform: nao if only somebody other than us still used irc...
mircea_popescu: aaand considering it's been coupla weeks, trinque care to put an eta on it ? ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2018-09-17 19:24 mircea_popescu: trinque is this something you'd be interested in doing ? expand deedbot thusly, maybe charge chans a fee ?
mircea_popescu: imo huge opportunity here for deedbot to swoop in and take over irc, with http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-17#1850988 ☝︎
asciilifeform: funnily also, there's still 0 spam in #asciilifeform , i think they took snapshot of whom-to-spam 1ce and never refreshed
mircea_popescu: thereby the personal incentive3 to great wot ("but mp... why should i work my ass off and stay up nights to get good ratings from good people?!?!?!") is precisely so as to turn #eulora into #trilema.
asciilifeform: ( the thing where random snippets of actual posts somewhere , rather than pure shannonized )
asciilifeform: btw, the spam folx finally did their homework, loox like, and copied the algo that was used to murder usenet,
asciilifeform: aa in the sense of 'what sw rf spectrum loox like without a tuner' lolyes
mircea_popescu: "but mp, i know who you or mocky are, i don't know these random names!" "so ?" "so the random names are spam" "congratulations of having a wot. now try without."
asciilifeform: plox to link ?
asciilifeform: ugh thing still fulla spamola
asciilifeform: ( inject known bitstring into smbus, and e.g. write to arbitrary ram, etc )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if the fishwraps are to be believed, they sat this one down on the BMC bus. so really extra spice on top of the usual bmc lulz.
asciilifeform: i suspect the cap was the 'easy' bug. y'know how when educated folx bug people, they give'em 2-3 'easies', a 'medium' to make the diggers feel 'accomplished' when the find, and the 'actual' bug somewhere entirely else.
asciilifeform: somebody oughta have told'em that they oughta bug a ~diode~ instead ; it is not difficult to detect a capacitor that semiconducts inside somewhere ( it'll rectify rf ) .
asciilifeform: mod6: already submitted as qntra lulzcandidate. but whole story lulzy, the chinese folx built a vlsi-bugged filter cap and slipped it into ~errything some time around '14
mod6: I don't have my notes in front of me though.
mod6: Hi, I think we do 20% usually.
asciilifeform: mod6 plox to clarify when you wake up
asciilifeform: i'ma leave the margin to mircea_popescu .
asciilifeform: ( will have to replace internal ssd, that'll be another 25 . )
asciilifeform: will be new, they're still in print.
mircea_popescu: and is the one you ship actually used or new ?
a111: Logged on 2018-10-03 16:28 asciilifeform adds ' asciilifeform-recipe switch ' to next cargo manifest
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-03#1857659 ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i figure the rams or what were don't need to be included ; what'd the switch end up costing, you ever figured it ?
ave1: cool! as for reference to ethernet packages etc I've found this doument useful: https://www.microchip.com/wwwAppNotes/AppNotes.aspx?appnote=en533903 (see link to the pdf).
diana_coman: I'm going through the data right now, I plan to publish it + write-up by tomorrow
diana_coman: ave1, good to know, thanks! and yes, it seems that there are few errors under those conditions really: over 1 full week I got less than 0.2% lost
ave1: diana_coman, I've been running your tester with large package sizes and so far zero errors (everything even stays in order so far).
a111: Logged on 2018-10-04 04:57 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform we got anything for the s.nsa report ?
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-04#1857985 << financials -- none; conveyor -- tmsr.udp ; ffa to resume once i wrap up keccakizing ☝︎
BingoBoingo: Other one was the Asia chick who started it
BingoBoingo: Yeah, one of two to go down for fucking boys
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform we got anything for the s.nsa report ? ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2018-10-03 23:51 mircea_popescu: hanbot lend the fellows a hand ?
hanbot: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-03#1857870 << sure thing, i'll draft a coupla itams, expect 'em tomorrow. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: or no, sorry ... it's just broken. the http://bimbo.club/?feed=comments-rss puts out valiud rss, but it seems it's the article feed.
mircea_popescu: in random eggogs : the default theme for mp-wp (w/e it is bimbo.club got), the bottom link for comments rss links to http://bimbo.club/?feed=comments-rss2 which is broken ; http://bimbo.club/?feed=comments-rss is the correct endpoint.
mircea_popescu: i suppose the webstyle just infuriates the shit out of me.
mircea_popescu: a there it is.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-04 00:29 mircea_popescu: https://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/tsla/news-headlines << check it out, nasdaq has a whole "menu" of optiopns, except no fucking way to establish market capitalization ; the only page that'd maybe do it, the (legally mandated, btw) anuyal report, http://www.companyspotlight.com/partner?cp_code=NAS1&ticker=TSLA ... times out.
ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-04#1857945 << https://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/tsla/stock-report 170,593,000 so they say ☝︎
asciilifeform: how much of the 50b is 'spendable' really
asciilifeform: but afaik they aint denominated in same unit ?
mircea_popescu: in point of fact, the useless castrated boys get 50bn, and the useless fat girls get 50mn. this is the current disparity, if i had to guess.
asciilifeform: aa them -- yes
mircea_popescu: costs whom ? the little yellow men? of course. but the lolzdaq tards still paying for it.
asciilifeform: ( gotta dump those recycled crapples ~somewhere~...)
mircea_popescu: so i'm saying... it's not 0, whatever the actual ratio. and if i concede a 0.1, you're still not gonna produce the 5bn hypatia.
mircea_popescu: well... the laughsdaq endowment still got the chinese to ship some man-sized li batteries over to frisco, yes ?
asciilifeform does not know the conversion ratio, if it even makes sense to ask for one, how do ya convert metres to litres...
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the 'hypatias' deal in turkeybux ( or , whatever the little termites, 'students', eat in place of turkey ), so perhaps not comparable with the imagibux traded on laughsdaq
mircea_popescu: now show me the "hypatia" with 50bn endowment.
