asciilifeform: tho i was hoping to get one blowing asap, to prolong the life of the installed sadsamsungs
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: aite, unless there's more shops you want to look in ( or can get hold of a 12v brick and solder ) i'ma include blower in the order
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: The particular vendor does not have fans. Other listing are "via Ebay" (i.e. unassisted import process) or feature 5v in the headline and 12v in the photo or specs
asciilifeform wonders, whether the gavin derp is still on the stage, or fully retired nao. i dun follow heathendom closely enuff to know
asciilifeform: meanwhile in today's mircea_popescu-oldies lotto, http://trilema.com/2015/lets-address-some-of-the-more-common-pseudo-arguments-raised-by-the-very-stupid-people-that-like-the-gavin-scamcoin-proposal

a111: Logged on 2018-09-13 15:08 BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> people of 2064 watching "who wants to be a millionaire", this antique show where people go to be insulted for being so fucking poor. << It'll happen before then. In 1980's and 1990's movies the plot driving stakes are normally in the thousands of dollars.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-13#1850164 << there is 1 other variant, where 'plot stakes numbering in thousands' come ~back~, in the form of 'thousand btc' ☝︎
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: have you looked in same catalog where you got the uart ? ( for either )
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: '$64k question', famous. ( also remembered as the 1st and afaik last 'omfg it's rigged!' scandal, back when such a thing could possibly surprise anybody ) ☟︎
BingoBoingo: And then there were the ancient gameshows watched keeping grandpa company where the elusive stretch prize was 64,000 and cool cars were the attainable prizes hit before that.

lobbesbot: BingoBoingo: Sent 35 minutes ago: <asciilifeform> plz also say whether you were able to source the 5v blower. if not -- i'ma order one of'em also.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: The samsung sticks have not been found. The only little heatsinks I found were asking an incredibly extortionate price. 5v blower has yet to be found. Seeing a lot of 12v's But I haven't yet completed the walk to every local store.
lobbesbot: asciilifeform: The operation succeeded.

mod6: Well, s/all created/placed into the manifest/
mod6: ben_vulpes: All of the previously created vpatches are coming into the manifest at the same time. This simply denotes that it was all created at one time.
mircea_popescu: people of 2064 watching "who wants to be a millionaire", this antique show where people go to be insulted for being so fucking poor.
mircea_popescu: what consumer has come to expect, consumer will come to get!
diana_coman: perhaps even earlier; from what I understand that's the desired direction anyway, "everyone a millionaire", no?
mircea_popescu: 2064, 1mn lei to the egg!
mircea_popescu: in any case, 80 is not even a hundred, what thousands we speak of.
diana_coman: eggs were also one of the things I almost never needed to buy in Ro at that time
diana_coman: I'd say more like 3k but I'm not all that sure on it
mircea_popescu: diana_coman amusingly, the latest "stabilization" or we was 60 years later huh. how much were eggs cca 2004, before the 1:10`000 conversion ? 5k or so, 10k for easter ?
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, thanks!
mircea_popescu: diana_coman welcome back to online for your blog btw!
mircea_popescu: http://ossasepia.com/2018/09/13/atunci-ca-si-acum-ca-ntotdeauna/ << 1944 newspaper clipping, announcing one egg costing 80lei (a howeve rmany million% increase over pre war years -- romania had a nice famine just like everyone else in europe post ww2). the byline however, is "this because there's too much clucking about and too little work being done"
mircea_popescu: if talkin's like breathin' they'll do that and if not they'll just breathe.
diana_coman: honestly by now I think it's 0% *did* anything, whatever it is; talking yes, doing no as per old reference ^
mircea_popescu: anyway, "have thus a little patience, for he on the road is coming, and won't delay."
mircea_popescu: i suppose discussing why he omitted the enim in "Adhuc enim modicum aliquantulum, qui venturus est, veniet, et non tardabit." is not useful in this context.
mircea_popescu: so there sits newman, unread. meanwhile "awareness" is all rose an' teh "kiriarchy" is well fought and whatnot the fuck else. tulpas!
mircea_popescu: because who the fuck needs tradition when private interpretation of self-identified experience is justasgood, amirite. and besides, reading is hard. not to mention a special snowflake runs the risk of discovering some unflattering things, reading.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-12 00:08 mircea_popescu: and in other "the web has failed, utterly" lulz : trilema's "Links from an external page (other web sites except search engines)" managed for the first time in history an epic 0.0% this month.
mircea_popescu: this means that out of the "millions" of "true faifs" ustards and the "many" fans of c. s. lewis, exactly http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-12#1849749 ie 0.0% actually read the ur-example of this whole conscience-biographic genre. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://archive.is/5PxAY#selection-329.0-337.12 (31 downloads, 17 Apr 2016) vs 42 downloads today (meanwhile gutenberg managed to fuck the archiving, hence http://archive.is/AjBWd ).
a111: Logged on 2018-09-12 15:34 asciilifeform: diana_coman, mod6 : plz say when ok to zero the retired drives ( dun have to be immediate, but it takes a day or so and would like to get'em mailed to my vivisection table )
ben_vulpes: why that particular block height for all the other entries, mod6 ?
mod6: (the first line has a place holder in there for the block height when I get to actually making another excise_hash_truncation vpatch)
mod6: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/qSPwN/?raw=true << draft of the manifest.txt for TRB. mircea_popescu asciilifeform ben_vulpes trinque et. al. plz to review and let me know if any thing needs changing.
mod6: "Once Upon a Time In Hollywood"; I think the smart money is on the latter.
mod6: I'm interested to see if his manson family movie is going to be a steaming pile of dung, or not.
mircea_popescu: the us went from being populated by a buncha 19yos to being populated by a buncha 9yos.
mircea_popescu: man has the "viewing public" decayed intellectually in the intervening coupla decades.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, http://trilema.com/2016/mr-right/ is pretty transparently the remake of http://trilema.com/2013/true-romance-tarantino-cut/
mod6: TMSR~ : Update on the Pizarro report for August. I have completed the Liabilities table after some discussion with ben_vulpes, and it is currently in a final-draft form. Upon approval of this draft, we will post it to the pizarroisp.net site.

a111: Logged on 2018-09-12 21:37 mircea_popescu: going back to that whole "pipe is all of bash" discussion.
asciilifeform: some serious load test would be neat
mircea_popescu: this isn't a critical application yet. experimenta, meaning -- if you want to use this to test 'em or w/e i don't mind.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: definitely, once we have the new disks ( i dun expect you'll want the sad samsung )
mircea_popescu: unrelatedly asciilifeform mod6 : i'm thinking of getting a rockchip to run a coldspare trilema server, ideally some sort of optimistic replication. is this something you'd wanna set up for me ?
mircea_popescu: but i'm not even sure what the difference is, tbh. "say mp... what's | got over Y?" i can\t answer that. and yet perl sucks and bash doesn't, in SPITE of braindamage like above.
mircea_popescu: going back to that whole "pipe is all of bash" discussion. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i suspect that the federated calling model of the current bash is actually its strength ; and not necessarily competed by lisp-ada.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-08 17:43 mircea_popescu: in today's wonderment, why the FUCK is it i can say sed 's%x%y%g' or sed 's^p^q^g' but can NOT say awk '%a%,%b%' ?!
asciilifeform: would be great to have a spec
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'm kinda trying to figure out what exactly i must have / can't stand for the Holy Script of Terminal
a111: Logged on 2018-08-21 18:28 asciilifeform: all i particularly care for in re scripting is to obtain a replacement for perl/python/bash where the interpreter is simple (i.e. readable, fits-in-head, auditable, correct)
a111: Logged on 2018-04-05 19:11 asciilifeform: imho the long-term answer is '3rd way' , i.e. all the crud i wrote in bash, python, etc over the years really oughta be in the hypothetical little-lisp-in-ada from old thread.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: pretty sure errybody who ever touched it, knows
BingoBoingo: In the case of casinos and cambios the science police are usually preceeded by the Special Forces Police who show up in the time between the robbers leaving and the science police standing around
mircea_popescu: i doubt many people fully understand the comedy goldmine that sits and waits in terminal.
mircea_popescu: "In other programming languages it is common to have arguments passed to the function listed inside the brackets (). In Bash they are there only for decoration and you never put anything inside them."
BingoBoingo: The police are not to be confused with the science police who show up to places the police weren't and make a big show of doing something.
BingoBoingo: Then there's the police who are a sort of security guard that stand with rifles deterring crime or they attend parades dressed in riot gear.
BingoBoingo: The line jockey's job half hearedly finding things for the desk jockeys to do.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Nah, those are just line jockeys
asciilifeform: aaah yes, the 'these are in padded crate, they must be expensive and taxable' folx
asciilifeform: there was even signs of an 'air force' , but the only plane i saw was a mig8 on blocks
mircea_popescu: otherwise yes, fucktarded monkeys insisting to go at sea, great rescue pickings.
mircea_popescu: now THAT could've been a market, but the argentines have 0 money.
BingoBoingo: Well, the Navy does Coast Guard work. Boat rescues and such
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: didjaknow, they also have a navy. ( consists of, iirc, 3 old tubs )
mircea_popescu: they had no fucking idea about all of that. this niggled made a clock.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-12#1850055 << the orig link derpage mentioned gui, but sadly even without any graphics current-day kernels are sad on small iron. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: ie, "new york is bankrupt, find better customers or change the product line"
mircea_popescu: seems to me the story is all about how http://trilema.com/2015/heres-what-they-dont-tell-you-when-they-bring-you-those-papers-to-sign/#selection-115.156-115.326
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo so a negligible switzerland caught in between brazil and argentina has an army, notwithstanding that in case of war it'd last all of half a week, on the idea that it's an amusement park for the "wanna matter" pantsuitedly retardeed preciouis cuntlets in new york. who, of course, long ago became unsolvent.
a111: Logged on 2018-07-15 16:26 asciilifeform: i can't picture anybody shedding a tear for gtk/kde/etc
a111: Logged on 2018-09-12 16:21 asciilifeform: who the fuck thinks '256M / 500MHz' is 'minimal hardware'

BingoBoingo: Well, the commie scum won.
mircea_popescu: oh i see. then why the fuck are they poor, i don't fucking get it.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Nowadays to get those UN Peacekeeping bucks. Before that to fight commie scum.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-12 15:54 asciilifeform: recall how seagate shipped (mech) hdd that in konsoomer model differed in 0 physical ways from the 'server' one, but 'mysteriously' misbehaved in raid
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-12#1850021 << now this i do. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: whatever the fuck for.
BingoBoingo: Imma have to blog it
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Sure, I'm lolling a lot more at the local Pantsuits digging themselves a hole
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: ^ unsurprising. per tradition, whoever begins to show symptoms of 'cured of usd' , 'suddenly' ( a la libya etc ) is 'found to have terrorists' and gets 'democratized'
a111: Logged on 2017-08-24 14:41 asciilifeform: ( why to do this ? just as in other cases of 'i can't believe it's not X!', dram is not actually random-access -- all currently sold drams only achieve their rated speed in 'burst mode'; and from that it follows that they are only ever read to fill a cache line; and from this, trivial timing leak etc. and the joys of 'rowhammer', bonus. )
