asciilifeform: prolly worx just as well with these
asciilifeform: i imagine errything in mircea_popescustan gets coated in quetzal shit in 6months tops
mircea_popescu: as a result some crazy ass bug came to suck on it.
asciilifeform: it is also much less conspicuous than photopanel ( which is easily seen from the air )
asciilifeform: *note that
asciilifeform: ( not that it make no diff in ~which direction~ temp diff )
asciilifeform: peltier is potentially very good current source for long-term unattended stations -- unlike photopanel, it isn't afraid of rain, or bird shit, etc. and a long stake into the earth potentially gives coupla of degree temp diff yr round ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2018-09-09 02:20 mircea_popescu: gotta also take into account his desk is special.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-09#1848794 << lolyes, it's pretty warm on the underside, from various expensivespaceheaters ☝︎
mircea_popescu: gotta also take into account his desk is special. ☟︎
mod6: mircea_popescu: cool, thx for checking it out
asciilifeform: meanwhile, uncrated chinese peltier, ~$1. thing gives a microwatt or so simply sitting on a desk. impressive.
mircea_popescu: i dun see a problem, tbh
mod6: Also, the name of the file would be 'manifest.txt'.
mod6: mircea_popescu asciilifeform trinque ben_vulpes ; et. al. ^
mod6: Hi all, I wanted to get some review, on this manifest file that would be introduced into trb. It would be placed inside the 'bitcoin' directory along the 'Makefile' and 'src' directories. It follows trinque's proposal here: http://trinque.org/2018/06/02/v-manifest-specification ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2018-09-08 15:37 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: hah, pretty interesting : the dram turds differ by... 3 bytes
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-08#1848650 << update : flashing in the uboot with the dram turd from vendor fw, did nothing detectable ☝︎☟︎
a111: Logged on 2018-09-07 13:24 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-07#1848461 << plox not to do this "who are you" upping anymore.
diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-07#1848476 -> I might as well mention then that I will redirect noobs to #ossasepia where they can perhaps attempt to learn something or otherwise get banned ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-09-08 17:45 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you and i may be the last folx still using sed and awk, they gathered dust since perlism plague began
diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-08#1848770 -> not true! here: http://ossasepia.com/2015/10/13/hic-sunt-flotsams-on-eulora-or-the-brand-new-foxymaps/ ☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you and i may be the last folx still using sed and awk, they gathered dust since perlism plague began ☟︎
asciilifeform: hey sed and awk written by different 'man alones', so big fat surprise they use incompatible inbandisms
mircea_popescu: who thinks like this ?!
mircea_popescu: what sort of morons are these, who a. pick a FIXED magic character which then they make equal to b. THE MOST COMMON FUCKING PUNCTUATION IN THE UNIVERSE
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: if anybody other than us is diddling the thing, they're staying mum
a111: Logged on 2018-09-07 23:46 asciilifeform: asked in the derp chan, https://irclog.whitequark.org/linux-rockchip/2018-09-07#23015323 , just on the off chance, but i expect 0 answer beyond the usual amstan type , i.e. 'fuck off and eat vendor liquishit'
asciilifeform: upstack, for the curious , http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-07#1848553 unsurprisingly no answer. ☝︎
asciilifeform: after ford's 'simulated engine revv' audio thing, wouldn't surprise me
mircea_popescu: i expect they get a "pew pew pew!" audio attachment next.
asciilifeform: recall the 'small bullets' thread. brass recognized that 'they dun aim anyway, let's give'em tiny bullets, why not'
asciilifeform: pistolero at swords range not really comparable to grunts 'spray and pray', no
a111: Logged on 2018-08-20 18:48 mircea_popescu: do you realise less than one in a million hits anything these days ?! never has the quarry/bullet relationship been this tenuous.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform melee range in trained hands, firearms are pretty deadly.
mircea_popescu: "what happens when cinema warband encounters man who didn't take A-team shooting class"
asciilifeform: oh was this the new york subway pistolero ?
mircea_popescu: the two other guys he had with him died.
mircea_popescu: fellow who was ambushed by a bunch of "hardened criminals", killed seven out of two revolvers and four more with his knife. the rest took to flight.
asciilifeform: esp. the ones who ended up in the trade to begin with 'because easier'
asciilifeform: 'iron phobia' is endemic in programmer types.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i think it is clear that if digger aint willing to contemplate 'maybe i die before hole, but next one will dig, cross the barbed wire over my corpse' will dig no serious holes.
mircea_popescu: god knows it's been the recorded problem of teenaged boys throughout civilisation.
mircea_popescu: well ? slow approaches that work may well be "too common".
asciilifeform: lol i just today reread that one
mircea_popescu: "I am not to be common, Kyle, ok? I am a creature like no other. I know that. I am a creature like no other. And I will not -- I willnot be common. " ☟︎
mircea_popescu: depends on how precious you think yourself.
asciilifeform: e.g. gabriel_laddel, then proceeded to re-enact the same splat
asciilifeform: (rather than the train)
asciilifeform: that was his first, and from my pov, really the last, splat, against the wall
asciilifeform: the sad bit, tho, is that he gave up pretty early on re: actually making the thing boot on physical iron. erry copy i got hold of, ran in vmware strictly.
asciilifeform: the interesting bit is, the os, was actually novel/interesting in aspects -- e.g. implemented the ~only~ known example of http://www.loper-os.org/?p=256
asciilifeform: aha, prolly thought 'i'ma push it aside with little finger'
mircea_popescu: hence, "train failed to correctly play the part tard assigned it"
mircea_popescu: like all the rest of them. http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-10#1840735 just as certified schizo. ☝︎
asciilifeform: in usa these figure prominently in pedestrian splats
mircea_popescu: i would suppose it wasn't so much suicide as the train failing to correctly play the part fucktard assigned it in fucktard's own WoWoW.
asciilifeform: 'A man killed by a train in The Dalles in mid-August had a Youtube following and was a “minor celebrity” in the computer world for doing the Herculean task of writing his own operating system, a fan said...'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but let's continue the "do you knows" then. ever heard of one j. r. davis ?
BingoBoingo: http://www.thedalleschronicle.com/news/2018/sep/07/man-killed-train-had-tech-following/ << RIP Terry Davis confirmed
asciilifeform: btw observe that errything pertaining to royal collusion with germany, in both wars, still Official Seekrit in britain
asciilifeform: with the predictable results, aha
mircea_popescu: thus therefore, the fecalscopy scientists identified "german subversion plot".
mircea_popescu: if you live in miami and your cousin lives in akron, it'll be he who comes to your studio for doing coke, not you to his.
mircea_popescu: economics disposes : the dynasty was hannoverian ; at the time cheap fuckmeat was both prettier (ie, higher quality) and cheaper had in rural hannover than in rural lancastershire. so unsurprisingly, cousin bob fucked little boys at cousin joe's house, rather than the reverse.
asciilifeform: idjit peasant cannot invent devils that 'can only see through microscope', he has never laid hands on microscope. so they will inevitably be devils that you 'can see' by rubbing chicken shit in yer eyes.
asciilifeform: imho the canonical example.
asciilifeform: see also the 'elders of zion' mega-bestseller.
mircea_popescu: you know for a fact pantsuited hilarity traded in children. the part where it was run from a pizzeria in wash dc... well...
mircea_popescu: but this is precisely how it goes!
asciilifeform: i'm not even convinced that billing's 'britain run by fags' thing were untrue. but the part where it is 'from german wreckers' is pretty rich
mircea_popescu: yet somehow, never self-evident to the pizza folks.
mircea_popescu: it'd seem self-evident that if a buncha doods carrying an L etched on their forehead go banging their heads on a chunk of concrete insistently enough in large enough groups, the L will eventually to some degree and under some lights transfer.
mircea_popescu: it's fundamentally what it is, "confederacy" of "independent" men alone going at teh establishment. the dent they make always takes the same shape
asciilifeform: loox like a moar erudite ver of the pizza folx, yes
asciilifeform: 'In Lesbian ecstasy the most sacred secrets of the state were threatened' << lol!!
mircea_popescu: so : something i nthe vein of reddit investigative journalists uncovering the pizza hut hilary clinton pedophilia scandal, if you recall that.
lobbesbot: Logged on 2018-08-05 07:31:20: <Tyrantelf20> Read what IRC investigative journalists have uncovered on the freenode pedophilia scandal https://encyclopediadramatica.rs/Freenodegate
mircea_popescu: somewhat like "reddit" umm how did the expression go...
mircea_popescu: billing was this fellow who famously sued a bunch of establishment faggots over his theory that faggot conspiracy is the cause of ww1 failure.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform he said it is a ~business~. it's not a business. if tomorrow civilisation ends scavenging its remais will be a large activity, but still not a business. "business" means something!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: dun think so?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'local peace' would go, for, what, week at a time ? before somebody cuts loose
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: when pg wrote this, in late '90s, hdd surgery was still a seller's market
mircea_popescu: well ? "don't attack enemy lest he attacks back" localized peace somehow sums up to a war over the interval ?
asciilifeform read, believe or not, whole thing
mircea_popescu: and i'll expand, but read the references first.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's terrible advice. "recovering data from damaged hard disks" is a "business" in the sense "painting and decorating boobies" is a business. nobody gets boobies anymore on account of bacterial diseases being exticnt.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: plox to expand ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ww1 was not what you imagine. the controlloing aspects are http://trilema.com/2018/surprised-by-joy-the-shape-of-my-early-life-adnotated/#selection-3045.2154-3045.2200 in the theoretical and http://trilema.com/2018/surprised-by-joy-the-shape-of-my-early-life-adnotated/#footnote_155_80959 in the practical.
asciilifeform: paulgraham -- before turning into the infamous huckster -- had a piece where 'which biznis should you get into if you LUVV gardening?' '...recovering data from damaged hard disks!' ☟︎
deedbot: http://trilema.com/2018/say-mr-why-is-your-name-popescu/ << Trilema - Say Mr... why is your name Popescu ?
asciilifeform: ( then again , spain did not cure orwell )
mircea_popescu: if i were a snail, i suppose i also would want to be paid for leaving slime trails.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i find it interesting that ww1 didn't cure him
mircea_popescu: but people WANT TO "big break" from "writing". it's sorta like women who aspire to be paid for fucking.
asciilifeform: i suspect you can get moar 'big break' selling wine to winos, than the written word, in whatever form
mircea_popescu: kids that grow up like c.s.lewis, ie forsaken, end up with a sorely overgrown notion of the importance of the self.
mircea_popescu: at a time if you put the whole population in a shaking machine you wouldn't have likely shaken a million loose.
