mircea_popescu: id they said nothing or this ? c) the principle "if you're going to say i'm a dog explain why!" is sound, but this is sadly not always possible. an eminent example of a class of cases when this isn't possible is when someone says something in direct and seeming wilful contradiction of logic. d) statements about you by others are statements about the world-you object as perceived by them not about the i-you subject as perceive ☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: now let's see if i manage to get myself cut off for flooding.
mircea_popescu: he is an engineer. he wants to know, inter alia, what do i do, and knows that "bitcoin isn't mined anymore". it becomes evident from conversation that she's living with him but isn't fucking him, and while the situation is perfectly acceptable to him, it's very tenuous for her.
trinque: when the former supercedes the latter entirely, I'm out, retarded primates didn't contort their brains enough to think that day.
BingoBoingo: Maybe I misread your pederasty comment?
BingoBoingo: trinque: When did I get the honor of becoming one of the Russians?
shinohai: I imagine trinque more the baja buggy type?
trinque: if it ran at all I'd offroad the thing until it blew up.
mircea_popescu: trinque i thought your car was on the fritz
mircea_popescu: of all the times in my life i had to explain to a sober judge in the morning wtf the fight was about, this'd have easily been my preferred choice
mircea_popescu: honestly i kinda enjoyed the day.
phf: this is the last thing i'm going to say on the matter, if anybody ~else~ has personal issues with me over what transpired i will address those only
phf: trinque: you lost your shit, cause i ruffled your feathers a bit, ~uncharacteristically~ you were ranting, in the popular style of the channel, but without any of the substance. you unrated me literally for busting your balls, the only reason is we're still on speaking terms is because you helped me out with the gpg key issue
trinque: the appeal to the crowd there, and yet I'm the collectivist.
trinque: I was going to leave it there. Did you have more nubbins 4th wall breaking in you yet?
trinque: it's on the record. I don't need to make more hay of it.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i thought he was ribbing Framedragger because how dares he agree or something.
asciilifeform: i reread the log twice and still at a loss re wtf that was about
mircea_popescu: i didn;'t think that was about you.
trinque: I think I've long demonstrated that I don't cling to a disproved belief.
trinque: phf, where I got offboard with you was http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-16#1584235 ☝︎
trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-16#1584282 << I'm seeing that this "lowered into pederasty" thing is as endemic to the russian sphere as elliotism is to the states. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: could i now have it in haskell ?
phf: i was saying re senate in the second phrase in reference to hamsters in first phrase, which was in reference to senate in the asciilifeform url, but the phrase itself was top hit for logs, which is referenced in the second phrase as top hit, and in the first phrase as unrelated lulz. how can this be any clearer
asciilifeform: aaaah i thought re хомячки
trinque: I suppose Julian Assange is KGB, too.
phf: i guess one step at a time
mircea_popescu: i don't get it, how can anyone admit to having a github myspace nowadays ?
a111: Logged on 2016-12-16 23:15 asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: i used 'uber' a number of times, it is a very mixed bag
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-16#1584633 << tried it exactly once because in weird hipster company. they proposed i wait something like i dun recall 40 minutes ? i just called a guy. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: sync not being done for any great technical reason other than to remind self I'm getting old.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-16#1583922 << ahahahaha i almost missed this gem ☝︎
asciilifeform: btw i was mistaken, you don't need nonempty mempool
asciilifeform: see, in my head, i can see who last touched what, but this continue forever, is not a substitute for actual tool
asciilifeform: i have nfi presently what 0.1 or whatnot did re mining.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: no, i meant 100% deterministic operation, starts when i turn key, stops -- when i unturn it, and never else.
BingoBoingo: Oh, I thought you meant "will car stop when I press pedal" misread
pete_dushenski: as someone who just oversaw ownership of early 2000s lexus is300 that put on 40k km in a year, i'm not sure i'd recommend it unless you're pretty handy. not hard to work on, but parts aren't super cheap, it's a bit dicey in the winter, it's a ~very~ firm ride, and it's soooo hard on consumables (gas and oil).
asciilifeform: where do i buy a NEW 80s merc motor.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: that converts it to 'yes it started, but will it stop before i finish going to $place'
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: when booting anode in 'solipsistic test network' mode with gen=1 and genproclimit=some reasonable fraction of local cores, i should see a few cores go to 100% utilization immediately, no?
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: i've generally had very positive experiences with it. 95% excellent drivers. 75% decent cars. proper taxi flips those two figures but also costs 20% more and wait times are unreliable.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: i used 'uber' a number of times, it is a very mixed bag ☟︎
ben_vulpes: omg may i relate how bad a job next door is doing
ben_vulpes: with the new monstrosity abutting the property line next door, i think i've finally bumped carport up on the list of shit to build
asciilifeform: at one point i wanted to rent one of his houses, but learned that every single garage is in use !
asciilifeform: i know a d00d who reassembles '50s 'golden age of usa' autos. has machine shop, and even multiple houses , which he rents out except for garage, in each - keeps 1-3 of these museum pieces
ben_vulpes: fwiw, i find car-swearing-time doubles as excellent design/thinking time.
asciilifeform: problem is that i dun actually ~like~ 'car ricing'. auto is best when it is forgotten about every day except when there is no way to escape driving somewhere, best when it 'stfus', like one's appendix.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: it is not enough to buy a lemon, i should also travel to some shithole to do it?!
asciilifeform: ' I recently bought a fountain pen. it cost the equivalent of about 1500 throw-away ball pens. 1500 ball pens would have made me very frustrated, but this sleek, elegant pen made me happy.'
ben_vulpes: why drive a minivan when you can drive an EIGHTIES CADILLAC i aska you
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'd actually rather have a trabant, if they could be had, at least they were cheap, than these monstrosities that drink petrol like airplane and die without warning in traffic
trinque: ben_vulpes: this among the things I miss.
ben_vulpes: i don't think it's quite as simple as 'brew install eulora', although it was close
pete_dushenski: mhm. k. i'll bug him.
ben_vulpes: trinque: recent 'snowpaclypse' affected me /not one whit/, as i could stroll to the train and be in city center more-or-less on domenad
trinque: if I were in an area with trains I'd go without a car for a while. wouldn't be the first time.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i never understood the point in buying these
asciilifeform: and perhaps i could leave house -- less yet.
asciilifeform: and that's about how many times i leave the house in 2-3 yrs.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: when mine rusts away, i might not even replace it, 20k usd buys a great many cab rides. probably more than i'd need in the 5yrs that a 20k-usd machine costs now.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: interesting idea, i'll chew on it
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i haven't anywhere where to assemble
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i barely have where to keep 1
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes eh, the command codes are inconsequential. i mean the rsync.
ben_vulpes: of the rsync-alike? somewhat. the fucksticks, i do not see.
asciilifeform: but i'd sure like to not have to pay 5figs for its replacement when it finally crumbles.
mircea_popescu: i bet he drives like, a honda.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: it so happens that i have a working auto
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it needs tmsr-rsa (i ain't releasing anything with aes or koch's idiocy)
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes well no, i get a ftp and a wwb for the trouble.
mircea_popescu: actually on meditation i almost never use left shift. cuz my left thumb is on ctrl/macro
mircea_popescu: nope. when typing commands i use the right for the right shift, the fuck finger for ! and the index for whatever else.
pete_dushenski: lol i just mistyped !Q as iQ is all.
a111: Logged on 2016-09-14 18:57 lobbes: Aight. I'll set lobbesbot to !Q
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: o i know, i just thought we gave it out.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski i mean in the bot thing on your site.
a111: Logged on 2016-02-02 15:53 ascii_butugychag: so there's a proggy i've been testin'
asciilifeform: (i described exactly this scheme , in march iirc )
asciilifeform: as i said -- usa bans cheap auto. because usury.
mircea_popescu: 1. user says !%cred ; 2. mimisbrunnr replies with link to rsa-encrypted user/pass/url combination for, eg, a ftp session ; 3. if i share the url, i share the url, with whoever i want ; 4. you meter and bill ; 5. !%destroy kills it
ben_vulpes: i may be thick, by 'rsync-like' implies to me some amount of shell access for l*
mircea_popescu: well evidently the tmsr-rsa isn't ready, so i'm guessing ad interim a scheme like this could work
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i'm not altogether certain how it'd work, but basically i'd like it if mimisbrunnr allowed me to buy storage on wotpaste. i could pay from trinque 's deedbot once it's done ; and i should be able to buy by the gb of storage or by the tb of traffic.
phf: cheapest i found was 18k for some of the kia models
asciilifeform: haven't been since i was a boy.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: link to the 8k auto plox, i could use this
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: where do i buy these
asciilifeform: sometimes i get impression that folx are posting from a parallel world
pete_dushenski: not gaz, not zil, not trabant, that's all i know
pete_dushenski: of that same visionary calibre, but these latter two stepped down in the last couple of years (from ford and vw, respectively). i'm not persuaded that the rest of the lot, even say sergio marchionne, are anything more than bankruptcy artists slithering from swindle to swindle.
Framedragger: http://i.imgur.com/Dz73av4.jpg << lul
Framedragger: ahh. i guess in the same vein, "stop what you're doing iran because it's weapons, and wrong"
mircea_popescu: oh i see, the old "chucka hunter-gatherer party warms self on rtg innards"
trinque: if we're doing "where I come from", "shut up about your feelings regarding the person and get to the meat", was it.
trinque: I did not have a crisis of self over learning the reasoning behind the current design of WoT db.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you may be surprised by that rocket thing ; iirc i posted a guy attached to a car.
mircea_popescu: i mean there's a set of expectations (this is what an ontology, ie, list of items and predicates, always is) for the self ; and ANOTHER one for the world.
