asciilifeform: and actually i'm willing to buy mircea_popescu's 'they were similar in every way that counts.' just that i remain unconvinced that either is anything but the fungus growing on aids patient
mircea_popescu: they even had the lulzy "modern science" thing, EXACTLY like the current shitheads. and by exactly i mean literal identity, same words same structures.
asciilifeform: the only similarity that i can see is that they are the maggots on a corpse.
mircea_popescu: 10% at the time, yes ? aspirational like exactly the "i am going to ny to be a writer just like carrie bradshaw" jew of today.
asciilifeform: there is the 'engine' and the 'chrome', i.e. the actual motive ideology, vs the window-dressing. similar to usg's 'hyooman rights!1111' chrome, around a 'market for hollywood and cocacola' engine.
asciilifeform: i'm not sold on the notion that the protagonists of these great axe-times, sword-times, map readily onto modern folx
mircea_popescu: and i deeply regret any of the fucking libertards escaped.
mircea_popescu: twenty years ago i was scratching my head uncomprehendingly at the hughuenot massacre. today i'm rather inclined to thing st barhtolomew may be the true and proper republican holiday.
mircea_popescu: twenty years ago i was appalled at the atrocity of the original most serene republic sacking constantinople. now i am very much remiss they left anyone alive or any one thing standing, should have merv'd the fucking place. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i am unsurprised.
mircea_popescu: i guess.
mircea_popescu: the parallel here is pretty evident - for a century now man's eternal dream to fly was realised. it was realised by great minds in europe, and then taken over by usians. who FUCKED IT. but i mean so utterly, that at the last count cca 2008 it came out the aggregate air travel industry lost more money in its history than it made. period and full stop, consider that.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i mant ultimaonline
asciilifeform played all of the ~good~ ultimas. i.e. 1-7.5.
mircea_popescu: consumerist culture, meaning that unless i fuck tolkien's corpse into action, i'm sol.
mircea_popescu: shift ? ayup. the great idea is "what if we took ultima and made it in 3d", that's fucking it. "i want a car just like that car but paint it pink and write my name on the dash".
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't necessarily mind one for eulora. the problem is that in this, like every other field, the tinydicked western men are entirely infertile. all they want is to copy and reimplement, which is how they ended up doing THE SAME FUCKING GAME 500 times. ever heard of ultima ? how about runescape ? guess what - it's the same fucking thing, down to the t, by which initialism we mean the fucking tutorial. EXACTLY. oh and plane
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i dun care if folx fuck donkey, so long as i dun have to watch.
mats: since some folks bailed i think i am the third largest holder
asciilifeform: aha, and i don't expect the radio repeater thing to become a future s.nsa item either
mats: i hope not, i'm still hoping to see a return on my s.nsa shares
asciilifeform: mats: it wouldn't hurt. but keep in mind, i will not be designing this board, not now. hands -- full.
mats: can i get an integer
asciilifeform: mats: it means that i don't pay motherfucking retail price. y'know, one where you feel like complete idiot because 'hack magazine' folk are buying ENTIRE BOARDS for below what you pay per-chip.
a111: Logged on 2016-11-28 19:57 pete_dushenski: ya i can see that. i don't find the period entirely hermetic, just unfamiliar as i slowly bridge the gaps in my historical knowledge between the romans and the french revolution. currently working backwards from the end of that period via peter the great's life and times.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-28#1574114 << pete_dushenski wants to wrap his head around what remains of peter I without knowing ru ?! ☝︎
mats: i remember now, there was a lack of entropy source
asciilifeform: ( in a much earlier even thread , about the marvell chipset used in pogotron, i found same thing -- the chip is simply not www-orderable in the west, at least not at any kind of price point that isn't a laugh when stood next to the price of whole pogo )
mircea_popescu: heh. with any $item the possible outcomes of the problem-function would be either "it sucks [reason list]" or "not enough people to use it". i guess the 2nd is how you count success.
asciilifeform: mats: i still have a bad of two dozen or so here.
asciilifeform: mats: i handed out a bunch of chinese sample boards at conf3, didn't help...
mats: what was the sticking point with esp8266? i forget.
pete_dushenski: ya i can see that. i don't find the period entirely hermetic, just unfamiliar as i slowly bridge the gaps in my historical knowledge between the romans and the french revolution. currently working backwards from the end of that period via peter the great's life and times. ☟︎
pete_dushenski: for that we can blame bannon. i didn't ask to research the complicated tudors. just what came up on the docket.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: a slave isn't a slave to all, just to his master. so it was that clement vii was obsequious to charles v, not henry viii. anyways i can see that the sentence was poorly worded and it's been corrected. so cheers :D
mircea_popescu: a) yes, that's the fucking point - and more people who could be taken at their word would be an incredible improvement over "open society" and "modern democracy" ; b) no, not "humans". women. strictly women. the ~FEMALE~ response to "confronted publicly with the unacceptable", which is just a periphrastic mention of public rape, is to... what was that line, "i am a woman, david. do you think i hate children ? must i choose ag
asciilifeform: over here i have to crank 'zoom' until the text below is as tall as my thumb
trinque: then a moment of enlightenment came and I decided to proceed unfairly :p
trinque: aha, in point of fact I ran graphviz on the whole dataset first. output was hilariously useless
mircea_popescu: trinque i don't think there's anything meaningful there ; should prolly purge all those with a nil reputation string.
trinque: I have no strong opinion that they should.
asciilifeform: in the sense of 'at some point, i heard that x heard...'
trinque: after which folks can throw me their own, and I'll sign if I like them and use.
ben_vulpes: in other "baby i'm trying to find something redeeming in the american holiday season"s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J44mRRo0-P0&list=PLUSRfoOcUe4YfT3KjO5JInZ7owN_nIMh4&index=1
trinque: but I'm gonna fiddle with sizes of l1 yet
mircea_popescu: i like the olive color scheme too
mircea_popescu: though i dun recall the exact link to it nao
shinohai: I have just logged timestamps on mine with `|xargs -IX printf "$(date -u)\t%s\n" X `
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: well i put a redirect in there
mircea_popescu: when i decide to be a nurse i also will.
mircea_popescu: my point is not that i could or couldn't fix it as much as it is i shouldn't have to. i also don't change diapers for the people i go out to dinner with, notwithstanding i ~could~.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i know you already gave up on the thing, but i use svlogd to hammer poorly-logging proggies into sanity
mircea_popescu: let gog worry about that, i'm not gonna.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i can't be arsed to spent time on it tbh. either it works out of box or doesn't work at all is the extent of my patience.
asciilifeform: i cannot fathom trying to use one of these as a comp
mircea_popescu: i do not use laptops for any serious purpose
mircea_popescu: what can i tell ya.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and yet i never had this inept sort of bs problem on nvidia cards.
asciilifeform: and i can think of at least two explanations re why, and they may well both be true.
mircea_popescu: i'm pretty sure it's due to the "driver" for radeon mobility 7500 being a dubious pos which is pretty much sabotaged deliberately.
mircea_popescu: for some reason i had it in my head you had ironed out (or maybe just fought and were defeated ?) blank screen idiocy on thinkpad.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i;m not dedicated enough to getting old games to run on that thinkpad to chase this further. i'll just use a different box.
mircea_popescu: i wiped the logs, turned the program on, it killed my gfx, i logged into tty2, stopped x, restarted x, this was the only log present.
mircea_popescu: anyway. it's pretty obvious someone magicnumbered something because i have the distinct impression gfx works fine just offscreen.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/7hblX/?raw=true << and i fully don't expect you to tell me anything on the basis of it, because it's quite evident it contains nothing useful.
mircea_popescu: for the record, the repugnant pos trashes the box so thoroughly i have to log into tty and stop/start x
mircea_popescu: "how do you use this ?" "first, delete it" "oh i see."
mircea_popescu: chiefly because i can't conceive of a mapping between the pile of trash and a log file.
mircea_popescu: i have nfi how to use this alleged log file.
mircea_popescu: look at it : "I shall tell you what the lion roared. It roared: you will make a new future in your stupid bowl, and it will say all the things we want it to say and none of the things we do not! The new future will say that everything good in Fairyland is down to us and everything that goes sideways is down to our enemies. It will say that we are the best people, with the best plans, and the best words, and the best rulers in
asciilifeform: i dun think he noticed... it must've been a very compact telephone pole
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i did that when what's-his-name with the harry potter mary sue complex and delusions of computer science / quantum mechanics knowledge made some writing challenge and i fucked him with his own wrists attached to a telephone pole.
asciilifeform: i drank the whole spittoon.
mircea_popescu: it's so bad i can't even close it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i still say it blocks on 'sane iron'.
asciilifeform: ( imho most interesting q -- is the thing ~self-hosting~ ? i.e. compiler binary + source, full toolchain, etc )
asciilifeform: quite so. i develop winblowz proggies 100% under gcc+wine.
asciilifeform: then again i've coaxed virii into running under wine.
asciilifeform: i'll be surprised if it 'wines' also. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i was contemplating that.
a111: Logged on 2016-11-28 06:21 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform hey listen, i have this t42 wich works fine EXCEPT if i try to emulate old games. at first i thought whatever, bad emulation package, but no - be it via dosbox, wine, whatever, same behavior : game works fine (sound, etc) but the screen stays black. seems to be some unhapiness somewhere between radeon mobility 7500 and xorg. do i recall you saying something very similar ? did you ever manage to get display sub
mats: i thought i'd put a damper on the bloodlust
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the lulz of all time is the actual count of books required. dipped as low as 100s at some point cca 2010 when i stopped paying any attention whatsoever.
mats: http://www.cnn.com/2016/11/28/us/ohio-state-university-active-shooter << i'm experiencing rampage fatigue, this is what, the 300th rampage of the year to date
