mircea_popescu: does it come with .50 caliber m2 as
a factory option ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well it's
a big thing, because if you're off radar you can be targetted by individual experts carrying 3 to 8 shots each ; and if you're on the radar you can be targetted by technicians carrying 64 to 256 shots each.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger the dot would create range, if
a line is already highlighted.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-08 15:20 mircea_popescu: Framedragger how about adding
a · in between timestamp and speaker, so that timestamp is still lined as now, but the dot is linked to make range ?
mircea_popescu: ( Framedragger and also, hour ticks in the shape of
a <hr /> ; and also - gray out the bot lines.)
a111: Logged on 2017-01-08 07:59 ben_vulpes: so duh, vdiff does not guarantee patches will be sensible in
a v tree, and it is incumbent upon
a patch-grinder to ensure their patches actually apply cleanly.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: dude, so clicking and copying
a link are semantically separate in my head but obviously the same thing to browser.
mircea_popescu: whereas my intention was to result in
a new single line highlight. yes yes i see.
mircea_popescu: oooohhh i know wtf it was! see, what it was was this : you DID have it this way, but then i'd highlight one line or follow someone else's highlight, and i'd RIGHT CLICK another line, and this'd result in
a range.
Framedragger: (argument against this is that it does import
a bit of complexity, of course)
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: so you mean that if one were to click on
a line which falls in
a previously-selected range (of highlighted lines), the anchor would be adjusted but the overall highlight range would be preserved, too?
mircea_popescu: Framedragger but do it like that you know, nude url + click -> highlights that line ; highlighted line url + click -> highlights between the two. like
a state machine based on url schema
a111: Logged on 2017-01-08 13:54 mircea_popescu: and the other thing : that entire "it is unclear whether people aiming to make an artificial friend have seriously considered the much cheaper, ordinary kind" which i can't fucking find in the log for some reason goes
A LOT deeper than generally realised. it's not "oh, i'm not discussing ai so it's not about me". yes, IT IS about you. if the software you're contemplating aims to take fifty hours of engineer work to replace fi

http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-09-2015#1285635 << exactly the wrong kind of fucking ai.
a) not actually intelligent ; b) negative - the last thing i fucking want to see is mechanically powered women nagging ; c) not self contained - at least the stupid nag you can beat into the ground.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: i don't need
a fucking power button to recall i can turn off the box, i can type shutdown just fine.
mircea_popescu: this formalizes the problem with guis, "oh but mp, did you know you can italicize text ???" yes bitch, i fucking know about text italicizing. "no but maybe you forgot, here's
a 60x60 pixel square on your screen shooting photons at your retina 60/60/24/7 so you remember". what the fuck am i supposed to be,
a frog ? that my brain has no remanence, entirely powered off the visual field ?
mircea_popescu: and it's not ~just~
a horrible idea. it comes from
a thorougly broken thought process. i'm not in fuckign school, to be informed via
a push interface. i am an adult, i will pull for what i want. the only thing the world may do or should do is spread WHEN I SAY. and at no other point.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-08 05:59 gabriel_laddel_p: spoken to you via
a "siri" type thing that doesn't suck?
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-08#1599268 << no. for the low low cost of adding
a woman to sit next to the woman driving, i could have implemented this years ago. but honestly if the car came so equipped i'd fucking shoot the siri girl to fix the car. horrible fucking idea.
☝︎ netmonk: davout: but, at least, they run
a very big platform, and they reach
a very good state of automation, with fast CI.
netmonk: difficult to deal with massive ddos for
a stratum based protocol
ben_vulpes: funny, i had that thought when his photo went by in
a link earlier today
davout: ovh is
a french company, stands for "on vous héberge" and are basically the niggers of the hosting business here in france
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2017-01-08 01:10 ben_vulpes: hey ovh why does it take more than fifteen seconds to charge
a cc? what do you use, bitcoin?
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
☟︎☟︎ ben_vulpes: so duh, vdiff does not guarantee patches will be sensible in
a v tree, and it is incumbent upon

☟︎ ben_vulpes:
a question i have been wondering about for long is "why does the trb tree sit in
a 'bitcoin' directory, wherever it's pressed", but it is not particularly irrelevant.
ben_vulpes: trinque may confirm: i believe that this is due to asciilifeform grinding (trb-)genesis.vpatch from an
a/ and b/ containing
a directory 'bitcoin'
phf: what
a time to be alive
trinque: dad had
a beautiful '79 911 for
a good while
pete_dushenski: should mazda also only make miata because every else they make is garbage by comparison, even if it's class leading in
a number of cases ?
pete_dushenski: also, lotsa people with money live where it's miserably cold most of the time. why let other companies sell you
a winter vehicle ?
pete_dushenski: also, of your list, only population is
a curious itch i'd want to scratch. the rest is sorta neither here nor there if i'm passing through on
a road trip or what have you
gabriel_laddel_p: pete_dushenski: have you ever wanted your car to list off
a bunch of facts scraped from the web when you cross into
a new jurisdiction?
pete_dushenski: could i think of better ways to spend ? $125k or whatever
a gt4 is ? sure. but /me can still barely fathom whether gabriel_laddel_p is sitting on inheritence or if he expects masamune to be ~that~ big
a success or if he's poster shopping for bedroom ceiling.
pete_dushenski: with the caveat... for
a new porsche. in the breed, in the class, it's
a tight, sexy, and sorta unrivaled package. selling over list last i checked too.
gabriel_laddel_p: pete_dushenski: does it do anything for you on
a visceral level
ben_vulpes: if i tell him there was an ice or crypto or ruin of usg thread he'll eat
a few weeks in one sitting
ben_vulpes: aren't porsches like
a cheap expensive watch?
ben_vulpes: still, plastic nightmare of
a modern car.
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: on the topic of dashboards, $bzprtnr got
a 2012 wrx
phf: it was
a vacation rental..
ben_vulpes: there are 2 important readings in
a car, and one of 'em can be had from your butt.
ben_vulpes: but yeah, possibly
a market for "cloud-backup" dash/full 360 streaming hardware
ben_vulpes: liquidassets: nah, just haven't seen you in the forum for
a while up until that connection.
liquidassets: ben_vulpes assuming you were talking to me just getting back from
a 3 week vacation, back to South Cascadia. I'm going to go read through your blog, haven't spent much time there yet, but looks like
a new look? Cheers.
ben_vulpes: and now, i will likely never buy
a new vehicle.
ben_vulpes: and to think, i left an entire industry because one engineer at the firm when questioned about wasting money on
a brand new vw microshitbox said "i just think everyone should own
a brand new car once in their lifetime"
mircea_popescu: it's not altogether
a bad plan, monkeys utterly unable to resist shiny
ben_vulpes: not "correction", but "yellowing" if it makes less of
a ffs
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: 2003 isn't
a bad cut-off for cars manufacturing date. most recent news i heard was that nvidia was teaming up with audi for their next-gen vehicles and that some of the higher-end german models (though not just audi) have upwards of 100 ecus.
pete_dushenski: they most certainly aren't, at least last i checked maybe
a decade ago
mircea_popescu: incidentally, it's an arrangement
a lot more common than generally realised. and not just in the us - most underclass parties consist of hiring one whore for
a platoon and fucking her among beer breaks, until daybreak. consequently most cheap whores are well used to "the party of men".
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski given the sardine living situation and the sad but true levels of machismo in the great swamp, it's
a wonder gangbangs aren't the normative accuplation method.
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: that was kinda my joke to him. dude can't afford
a house in sv (but who can) so buys $100k suv. hell, makes for better date nights than 250sft loft shared with two other bros.
a111: 2017-01-07 <trinque> afk for
a while
mircea_popescu: and i see no problem with any other or only other services be used - which iirc i even said when bot spec for archival was drawn, that everyone making one should ideally use
a diff service
mircea_popescu: i have nfi, item seems to work is the entire extent of the thing ; and i don't specifically know him to be
a hitler crony, like i do specifically know archive.org to be
a hitler crony.
mircea_popescu: well i dun think anyone's
a friend, including the baker. i've not yet geiger-countered the flour.
mircea_popescu:
a cheap explanation would be for instance - that archive people hosted in same place, and left for same reason.
mircea_popescu: now - wut of all of this ? maybe it was the same guy, i guess, maybe there was
a conspiracy to reboot the server, i guess, maybe etcetera. i'm unconvinced nor do i see it matters any.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: xing his code or going away ; e) so butthurt was alf over his code being no good in some particular and not terribly relevant way, he decided to go away. this caused phuctor to be offline for about
a year. f) at some later point, getting
a machine in the same datacenter if memory serves, alf declared that remnants from archive.is were found i dun recall how or where. this is entirely possible, and in any case i've not invest
mircea_popescu:
a) alf wrote
a first version of phuctor, which wasn't very good. this is excusable in that it was
a first version, and altogether irrelevant ; b) alf's version being not very good was accidentally exposed through ordinary course of business ; c) alf got very butthurt at this circumstance, and kept whining about it in the logs ; d) having had enough of the whine at some later point, i presented him with the choice of either fi
mircea_popescu: and if they're mitm'd, it's even more valuable, now we get
a collection of strange zips.
mircea_popescu: not everything has or needs
a deeply philosophical answer. archive bot should save the urls and get the zips. big whoop.

a strong wot and so on, i see.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-08 02:25 pete_dushenski: one can only attribute the electronic reliability of toyotas and hondas to the availability of ~the right kind~ of coders in japan. compare and contrast with those of us or germany, it'd be
a hoot.
