aquentson: I asked something very specific
aquentson: I gave you a definition
aquentson: can I gain some sort of understanding regarding the position of you guys on scalability? ☟︎
ben_vulpes: https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/if-a-best-buy-technician-is-a-paid-fbi-informant-are-his-computer-searches-legal/2017/01/09/f56028b4-d442-11e6-9cb0-54ab630851e8_story.html << and i thought i was a urlcriminal
asciilifeform: i'ma guess that the ssl certs on the debianized boxes will also phuctorize
asciilifeform: l expertise or more staff in the field. The new system would need inherent time-of-use (TOU) functionality to lessen peak demand and peak usage by C&I users and also web-based presentation to allow customers to analyze usage patterns. Relying on the previous success of Itron’s MV-RS® data collection system for its keyed reads, and prior satisfaction with Itron’s staff and support, IID again looked to Itron.'
asciilifeform: i:/DC=local/DC=ItronHosting/CN=ItronHosting-SCG-P-FN-DB-CA
asciilifeform: i happen to know that it does not (or at least several years ago, did not) have ssh built into konsoomer radiomodem. so these gotta be infrastructural pieces.
asciilifeform: i had the misfortune to encounter the 'qualia' thing as a student. barfed mightily.
mircea_popescu: basically they've taken any 13yo favela living chick's fantasy of "maybe i'm secretly a princess" and rewrote it with a thesaurus at hand. seriously, this is the us contribution of the respectable discipline, a rewrite of old televisa scripts ?
mircea_popescu: this is a backdoor premature ejaculator's construct, i've nfi. the hope that doth not dare speak its proper name.
mircea_popescu: i have nfi what they're thinking ; but it certainly isn't vitalism per se. at least that's respectable in a wild-eye delirious sort of way, like good cinema.
asciilifeform: fwiw back when kreinin wrote that thing, i stopped reading him for a while.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-09 01:44 mircea_popescu: ~if i am~ a drug dealer and i burn down your house, you'll what ? file a police report ? go on the local news network with a teary eyed "no one could have predicted that if i get pissy with people who break the law for a living i might end up with a burned down house" ?
mircea_popescu: i have nfi why the chinese'd care ?
asciilifeform: we had a thread about this, though for some reason i can't turn it up in the l0gz
mircea_popescu: ustards are worse than ww2 jews i swear, "oh, dug own grave". dude, what ?
asciilifeform: i can almost see the pleabargain-of-the-fyootoor: 'mr idiot, 33, to forgo impalement or the anthill, agreed not appeal any death sentence of beheading or less'
asciilifeform: buried in this lengthy turd is the entirely valid observation that 'If Miner i cannot obtain a single block posted before Bi, he quits the business. Therefore, we investigate the time between any two consecutive events. As {Ii} is indeed a Bernoulli process, ... ' (concluding with 'miner cartel is +ev and inevitable')
asciilifeform: btw over the years i was able to purchase an xdp probe from a scrap dealer. but never once got hold of the software. so made no headway on reversing xdp.
davout: s/o noes/who could have predictioneered/ would have been more apt i guess
a111: Logged on 2017-01-10 06:46 ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i never knew you were such a great physical comic! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0R8E3O4fvmU
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-10#1600289 << lel i dun know these folx ☝︎
ben_vulpes: definitely operating at the edge of my knowledge here what with running code from the web; a fair amount inside is a little shaky/shabby; and i have nfi what exciting attack vectors the system may present
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: aight here's what i have so far
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i never knew you were such a great physical comic! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0R8E3O4fvmU ☟︎
ben_vulpes: while we're on the topic, guess how i hunt for leaks in the corvette's vacuum system
ben_vulpes: a runaway diesel would have been better than what i saw.
pete_dushenski: i could use to rewatch some jackass movies, or was there only the one in theatres ?
ben_vulpes: wasted the lavish budget they squeezed out of uncle jeff on such fucking retarded hijinks in e2 i could not continue
ben_vulpes: i have a different take
pete_dushenski: i think i've narrowed down the issue with grand tour to the singular : jeremy clarkson, james may, and richard hammond are too fucking old to be interesting or relevant.
ben_vulpes: r kelly's trapped in the closet on the other hand, i watched over twenty episodes of.
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: speaking of car entertainment, you been keeping up with grand tour ? i have to say that i've regretted watching everything i have above and beyond episodes 1, 3, and 4.
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: you know i think my girl finally wrapped her head around that particular fabrication challenge in 2016
BingoBoingo: I live life one day at a time.
pete_dushenski: then no such thing as a proper bookshelf i guess
BingoBoingo: turns out making square cuts with handsaw is more of a challenge than I thought
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i'd rather try to rescue drunks. << Is there any better way to stay sober?
asciilifeform: i dun hate cyclotrons. but i do quite dislike ornate pseudoscientific frauds.
a111: Logged on 2014-11-14 05:46 asciilifeform: http://energy.gov/sites/prod/files/2014/04/f14/Volume%201%20NNSA.pdf << mega-turd. i don't expect that anyone will read it. but i did. and will relate, how obscenely it brags about the extraordinary bezzle of the u.s. 'national ignition facility'
ben_vulpes: i did say gc'd
ben_vulpes: 'twasn't a rocket. did i say rocket?
asciilifeform: i was picturing a tesla-valvular-conduit, with vortex flaps pointing in the direction of the exhaust, running the length of the rocket.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i can't resist asking:
ben_vulpes: i suppose that i mean "men who have built their own shops out of forth"
ben_vulpes: fwiw, intel holds that several 'important' (i cannot evaluate that) forth greybeards have been distracted by very strange flugencraft
asciilifeform: afaik his logic synthesistron is not published. i would dearly love to be proven wrong about this tho.
ben_vulpes: well i read it as "forth chip by chuck moore" and that's more appealing than anything else i've seen.
asciilifeform: i keep confusing them because there is an 'igloo' in the sageprobe.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-10#1600114 << i actually misspoke -- 'igloo' line, afaik was never reversed . ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-01-10 03:30 mircea_popescu: i'd rather try to rescue drunks.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-10#1600113 << then yer in luck, i suspect that g_l is a good candidate for drink, probably has 6 months or so until hitting bottom ☝︎
ben_vulpes: half the time i bounce through cliki i end up in a loop of this pointing to that pointing to some Person page pointing back to the totally uninformative original page
mircea_popescu: i'd rather try to rescue drunks. ☟︎
asciilifeform: i'm not familiar enough with gabriel_laddel_p's background to suggest particulars. but since he mentioned ternary arithmetrons, why not go and find out how many muller gates can fit in a lattice igloo.
gabriel_laddel_p: and can I substitute it with working out the ternary circuts I asked adlai to do?
gabriel_laddel_p: and if not, what would you like done such that I may?
gabriel_laddel_p: mircea_popescu: am I allowed to respond to people who reference me in the logs?
trinque: I am not the one begging with hat in hand.
asciilifeform: i can't speak for others, but i actually follow the formulation given in mircea_popescu's handbook
gabriel_laddel_p: if you don't want to hear what I've got to say, just negrate me, !!down and be done with it.
gabriel_laddel_p: ya I know
asciilifeform: concerning the meaning of ratings, i.e. conveying degrees of certainty
gabriel_laddel_p: As such, I concluded that my rating was (in your view) "teh last straw!111!
gabriel_laddel_p: trinque: I see no one could interpret my rating of BingoBoingo as crying/flailing, and the only "ship" of mine people here have attempted to right is Masamune.
trinque: gabriel_laddel_p: I didn't say a thing about lisp.
phf: i once read grothendieck's récoltes et semailles, which is a kind of an autobiography ☟︎
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-10#1600056 << i do ☝︎
gabriel_laddel_p: find me an engaging shopping list of "great writers" and I'll read it.
mircea_popescu: i cant readily think of any less interesting subject of a biography than a mathematician. if the dude spent his life in solitary confinment with pen and paper it'd make nary a difference.
phf: (this is totally unrelated, i just don't feel one way or another about subj. when i was in my early twenties i also adopted mannerisms. i agree though, is not becoming of ~adult~)
phf: seems like a math grad thing. i know a handful of people who do shit like that
asciilifeform: i will also note that pete_dushenski for some perverse reason often copies this style and it is extremely taxing.
mircea_popescu: now this said, more in the general he does have a tedious self-promoting tone. i expect it's scar tissue from years spent in us corps, among idiots disinclined to naturally bow to their betters.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: i'll save that story for another time. it's a gooder.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i have one
ben_vulpes: the memory fabricator is in full swing over here. wants to say that it was a tome that fell out of a moldbug piece but i really have nfi.
ben_vulpes: i can't remember who it was (byron? meep, no clue), but held that "before long, they'll be wanting rights for cats and dogs, cows and hogs"
ben_vulpes: noty, i think i'll stick with toyotas
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: you could surely get a deal on a dirty, beat-to-shit g-wagen. from what i hear they're not cheap to maintain
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: aight, i'll see about this eval-ing of text from mp-supplied urls
mircea_popescu: "i want to buy a c classe from a real used up hooker with real cum stains on the interior"
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: i want one that's 10 years old with plenty of dinged up body panels
ben_vulpes: yeah, i've heard you object to that before.
mircea_popescu: eh i dun wanna type over the wire for one thing
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: what i really want is a transmission that directs all power to the spinning wheel. it's spinning, that's how you know it's the one that needs the power!
pete_dushenski: it's goddam inexcusable. i think 'progress' is the going claim for open diff v rear locking diff
adlai: it's just one example. some knowledge is too specialized to appear in general aggregations; and it's also way too easy to estimate who is germinating which ideologies if you have access to eg which news they read. anyway, i'm supposed to be prepping for my lab tomorrow... this is the fun one, where we dick around measuring boring stuff but end up with ice cream
adlai: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-09#1599879 << despite hating this word (as a medical term, it's about as precise as "caught a cold"), i did use it today for the first time in a while: "technological schizophrenia" is the theory and practice of compartmentalizing/dissociating net use across multiple devices and connections to defeat the whole "google knows she's preggo before she does" ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-01-08 08:02 ben_vulpes: i don't know what sort of apology is due here as clearly nobody has ever even tried to apply those patches through a strict v, but i'm still going to go slam my head in a door until i get some of the stupid out
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-08#1599317 << actually btcbase is broken in that respect. i keep filename from the first appearance, and then track hunk relationship through hashes only. which will break if there's hash collision ☝︎
ben_vulpes: fwiw i have a spiffy little minimal interactive lisp bot you can diddle the behavior of in toto from emacs
mircea_popescu: anyway, the way i liked the original "send urls" was because then other people can see wtf.
mircea_popescu: i dunno dood, threat model. this is happening over the internet no ?
a111: Logged on 2017-01-09 14:48 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-09#1599692 << i'm not against it, but how do you handle the connection with some semblance of security ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform man chooses his stand, how should i know what he decided to die for.
davout: i shall
davout: i haven't
davout: please be more explicit, i fail to grok
