mircea_popescu: but then again, it is the necessary fate of isolated motherhood. they've set out to build AI and ended up building
a meta-Lucy instead. apparently spontaneous organisation emerges in chimps with "humanities" degrees before it emerges in doped silicone.
mircea_popescu: ie "china wants to make
a consolidated version of our flylists, credit scores, etc [therefore they are good" ; or "russia wants trump president [therefore "we" should not vote for him".
mircea_popescu: trinque re that "china wants to" bit, best i can figure there's two thugs and
a whore ; and the "new york elites" running the whore's mouth (writing plenty of checks its ass can't actually cash) have arbitrarily decided thug #1 is good, thug #2 is bad. in which contexts pieces like "look what thug X is doing" simply serve as
a psychologically-defended mechanism for the mouth to try and direct the movements of the ass.
mircea_popescu: ie, the zsa zsa gabors of
a new generation, the 1% of media whores who married well and are now held up before the twentysomething herd as
a sort of cunt frenzying fetish
mircea_popescu: sv investors are about what "baby im
a producer"s were at 1980s parties. one step above skinny guy in stained overcoat.
mircea_popescu: i wonder if anyone thinks it
a good idea to doublespend this lol.
mircea_popescu: Peace further stated to Motherboard that the current breach was accomplished by opening "
a backdoor that had been publicized on the hacking forum Hell" The Russian language forum was the site where the data from the previous hack was listed for sale at
a price of 70 BTC.
mircea_popescu: check it out. after you make
a handle or w/e i'll issue you accreditations ? if you even want such.
mircea_popescu: no ok that was
a pretty good bag. "we all" 'should' "have accees" ? stop raping gaia omaigerd.
trinque: and don't worry; there's probably
a migration to JSON underway

a rule, i am entirely uninterested in 'mitigations'
shinohai: You can't even see the "hack" in firefox if you use noscript, 'tis
a simple xss injection
BingoBoingo would be disappoint over lack of competition, but contests don't exactly have
a rich history of attracting
a wide field of enterants.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no that was
a different, "secured" city, kirkuk.
BingoBoingo: That's what you are taking
a break from, but what are you taking
a break with?
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: i am currently taking
a break from trying to beat portage into recompiling postfix with postgresql support
ben_vulpes: you know honestly i'd not considered writing an ode to the plinths marvelous utility as
a bludgeon
mircea_popescu:
https://archive.is/uYc0P << buenos aires has
a night life and teheran has protests. not irl, of course, but
a generation of keyboard warriors shaped the delusions of
a generation of dreamers.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> mebbe one day. though the gist is in english anyway. << AHA, that's
a very important point. Gotta work to understand the rules.
mircea_popescu: it certainly doesn't look like
a horrible investment from
a antiquarian pov.
adlai: might make
a killing if you have
a crateful lying around, asciilifeform !
shinohai: I was on the fence about it anyway, spent my gizmo budget on
a lappy to run African linux for testing eulora repos instead.
adlai: in other news, i have sitting next to me
a yet-unboxed Gizmo Explorer 1, which compromises the rest of the night's "work" (after qntring the diff adjustment)
adlai: mircea_popescu: answer-answert; afterthought - there's
a theory that holocaust survivors' grandchildren are better off than they'd have been if the first assasination attempt against hitler had succeeded, and it's probably not wrong.
mircea_popescu: adlai
a) you don't get to call
a spec leaky. if it's not clear what's going on to you, it's probably because you are dumb, not because the going on is broken.
mircea_popescu: i very much dispute this theory whereby thye expect
a reward on earth. in my view the one thing they fear is reward on earth. which is who they are and why they are that.
a111: Logged on 2016-10-22 18:46 asciilifeform: soooo here's
a tale 'from the crypt.' it recently fell to asciilifeform to turn on
a winblowz box and install
a python there, to run
a lab instrument. and guess what, the Official installer RUNS WINBLOWS UPDATE, KBxxxxxsomethingorother!
jhvh1: adlai: [KJV] Matthew 5:1 :: And seeing the multitudes, he went up into
a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
mircea_popescu: just get the domain for 88 cents, put
a redirect to new domain month 11. let the "investor" derps acquire the very valuable domain name!11
znort987:
A fresh set of opinions on the topic would be welcome
znort987: I searched the logs, and it seems
a topic often discussed, but the answers are sort of sprinkled through
mircea_popescu: so 70yo dude who's always, though thick and thin and half
a dozen bankruptcies, ever since he was
a wee tyke and his dad had to cosign his deals, aspired to be part of the you know, new york moneyed elite finally goes to the al smith diner. and gets to seat on the dais. and you know, he prepares for this. his speech, his own speech.
mircea_popescu: it's fucking incredible just how bad trump's speech writer was, by the way. dude's
a reality tv star, like that jenner chick or whatever, you'd expect he'd come prepared to kill it.
mircea_popescu:
a very jolly fellow irl, no idea why he looks so forced-laughing there.
mircea_popescu: "powerful rich important people" leat 2010 are such
a fucking joke.
mircea_popescu: "Donald Trump gained on Hillary Clinton among American voters this week, cutting her lead nearly in half despite
a string of women accusing him of unwanted sexual advances and the furor over his disputed claims that the election process is rigged, according to
a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Friday."
mircea_popescu: this is the first time i hear of non-starving yet un-famous graphical artists doing
a lot of quality work for no upfront fee of their own, anarcho-syndicalist volition.
mircea_popescu: anyone can explain how the cryptoart "purveroys of fine art papeer wallets" can afford to blow what looks like
a >10k budget on google advertising ?
mircea_popescu recalls the not so distant days
a coupla years ago when these imbeciles were masquerading as bidnismen with suits and secretaries and who is mp./
mircea_popescu: all i see is
a bunch of outsiders trying to impress with their reading.
pete_dushenski off to
a retreat for teh weekend. no cell reception. no net connex.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: We may have invitit
a few of them, but they seem to spring up like weeds
phf: i was certain we had
a thread..
ben_vulpes: the kind where they take
a thing but can't use it
mircea_popescu: "Victorious third world struggles, so long as they have been successfully localized, do not lead to realistic post-capitalist achievements, and certainly not to post-patriarchal ones, since the conversation of the form of the nation state is itself enough to guarantee the reinsertion of
a society into the system of inhibited synthesis. For as long as the dynamic of guerrilla war just leads to new men at the top . . . History
phf: phantomjs out of the box is almost there, except it doesn't give you locations to where page dependencies were stored in local cache. but the approach ensures that anything that can be rendered using
a modern browser can also be archived
phf: they are using Qt webkit integration, either through
a hacked up version of phantomjs, or something handwritten. there's enough hooks in qt, that you can figure out what was loaded, where it got stored in local cache and where it's being used.
☟︎ pete_dushenski:
a 'dark enlightenment' character by the name of 'alrenous' also found his way to the contravex comments for
a while. bought
a year-and-
a-half ago now. decent enough to carry
a convo but hardly limitless depth there.
mircea_popescu would muchly appreciate
a crash course in dark enligthement from the very horse's mouth.
mircea_popescu: prompted by all this discussion, i find "More recently, Land has been
a primary theorist and the namer of the Dark Enlightenment,
a neoreactionary movement that opposes egalitarianism.[5] The Dark Enlightenment supplies philosophical underpinnings to the alt-right.[6]"
phf: i figured out how archive.is is doing their archiving by the way, i'm taking
a stab at implementing it
mircea_popescu: then again i guess humanity is principally defined by
a propensity to make the worst possible move.
phf: asciilifeform: well, like mircea_popescu said above it's not about thiel, it's about whether or not he gets to hang out with rando progre attention whores. of course it doesn't work that way and i don't know why he would want to, but i wouldn't be surprised if in his mind it does. my impression is that he's visibly trying to morph from stormfront "must read litrecha" section to
a kind of "let's discuss human nature, surely we all agree"
mircea_popescu: who wants to trade the undefined upside for
a fixed payment ? fuck that, inverse insurance, really ?
mircea_popescu: "oh, yarvin said he doesn't think blacks are born slaves ?!?! OMG WHERE DOES HE LIVE I WANNA DO
A LOAD OF HIS LAUNDRY!!!"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's
a difference between "not great orator&photomodel" and uncanny fucking valley, however.
a111: Logged on 2016-10-21 00:47 mircea_popescu: anyway, if mining is
a bug, then the philosopher king is
a backdoor.
mats: meanwhile
a debian and ubuntu machine is still cooking after 3 days
mats: it took
a couple hours for both of these to run
mats: is there
a particular os you are trying to test?
ben_vulpes: no it's pretty funny, take
a break from inseminating cows and mircea_popescu goes all "oh hey if you have
a minute"
