mircea_popescu: it was an isp. one that on the price front is pretty cool but on the service front sucks.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform wasn't some dc, was named and renamed above!
mircea_popescu: i mean of course you'll colocate boxes, this is what you do. isp places his boxes in a datacenter, it's the job description.
mircea_popescu: "oh but they moo" "so what the fuck if they do." "it's scary!" "dude..."
mircea_popescu: this is like a discussion of dairy attempting to avoid cows.
mircea_popescu: i don't get what the problem with colocating boxes is supposed to be. pro tip : every box in every rack in every datacenter on planet earth WAS COLOCATED THERE.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i said cherryservers (ex balticservers) didn't want to.
mircea_popescu: russia is not without its own problems but having a dc there is certainly a sound plan.
mircea_popescu: so then. you want to use the wire system whenever you can anyway.
mircea_popescu: ~any isp will open you a wire channel if you're paying them substantially. pay them quarterly, it'll be substantial enough.
mircea_popescu: fwiw, 6274 for instance still on amazon at 800 bux or so.
mircea_popescu: respectable profit in what sense, i'll trade my time for fiatollars and then what ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform same argument could be made re mp's bitcoins, mp's slavegirls, mp's anythings yes ? how much would a girl properly trained sell for, seeing how the fucking shah of brunei can't, apparently, find one, and not for lack of trying ? subquestion : what THE FUCK is "respectable" supposed to mean in a world where apparently mp is the only one who has shit and everyone else will resist getting ~~~~~~ANY~~~~~ shit whatso
mircea_popescu: is it from the experience of being a businessman, or is it from the experience of being a cocksucker, begging this and that, like the schmuck i just negrated ?
mircea_popescu: "oh, i'm too fucking good to send some opterons to be racked and btw we begged for less cock. or more. or something, anyway FOR LITERALLY YEARS!!11"
mircea_popescu: "First a little bit of background. SemiAccurate has known about this vulnerability for literally years now, it came up in research we were doing on hardware backdoors over five years ago. What we found was scary on a level that literally kept us up at night. For obvious reasons we couldn’t publish what we found out but we took every opportunity to beg anyone who could even tangentially influence the right people to do somet
mircea_popescu: and the idiots "begged intel to fix it for years" and never said a peep.
mircea_popescu: what fucking choice! THIS is the choice. what choice was it ?
mircea_popescu: this nonsensical pretense that there's somehow "choice" and "people have it" gotta be the #1 driver of the socialist empire of idiots.
mircea_popescu: exactly like the braindead strippers who wouldn't pick up a bitcoin for free because hey, "professional" and whatnot.
mircea_popescu: shinohai ^ post that in there, at least when i get to boil them in oil right and proper they get to hurr durr at the fact that they ~actually had the text before their eyes~
mircea_popescu: and then when i want them boiled in oil i'm supposed to give explanations or something ? hurr.
mircea_popescu: "oh, there's a game that actually works, run by the only guy who actually has money or understands business in this cloud of idiots. tell you what -- we'll pretend to be offended at "fuckgoats" and stick with some utter derpitude run by a mentally ill runt. then a year or two years or whatever later we'll go ... "unfortunately" and act like no one could have fucking predicted".
mircea_popescu: "It is unfortunate that what was once a promising game with many contributors in the community has turned into a scam, but such as it is."
mircea_popescu: Framedragger worx. not like the other batch is fully digested yet anyway.
mircea_popescu: guy bemoans lack of lisp style tagged data in today's world of shit ; refuses WITH THE CUTTING OF THE HEAD to structure and tag anything no matter what. wtf is wrong with you.
mircea_popescu: that way you'll end up with your blog linked by random idiots with delusions of grandeur in the future, exactly like it happened in the past.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger sane designs (such as you know, mpex has been displaying since 2012 say) do not even care as to what ip.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron you can actually also change the dialogs skin the same way, the character models, the skybox / ground, pretty much everything whatsoever.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform write a blog post ; then reference it from code commetns.
mircea_popescu: ("fixing errors you didn't know you had" in his sendoff is of course very welcome for SVtards / webshit and utter poison for stuff like bitcoin)
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes at least theoretically auto_ptr was the standard replacement for unique_ptr, with the difference that it can also be copied, not just moved. so in point of fact plain replacement of one for the other is bound to cause grief.
mircea_popescu: double carry ? this sounds eerily familiar in retrospect.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the only practical use may be that it's perhaps cheaper to count l's to exclude unoverflowing mults and then appl ythe double reg mult to the remainder, than to apply the double reg mult uniformly throughout.
mircea_popescu: mats i'm pleased to see trilema moved teh overton window so.
mircea_popescu: hey, the whole point of even buying tickets at the Decaying Empires show is to watch special interest groupas gfoing at each other.
mircea_popescu: alrighty, this is turning out to be more interesting than i thought.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you will have to consider the parity of the two items to decide if you go by N or N-1.
mircea_popescu: anyway, as i said : i thought ~this~ is why computers even use binary in the first place.
mircea_popescu: we also notice that 0 +1 = 1 which being < 3 we lost bits.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile 255 * 255 does not overflow ; you know this because 8 + 8 is not < 16.
mircea_popescu: for convenience, consider 16 bit registers : 8245×8 = 65960 which overflows. you know this because 0010000000110101 x 0000000000001000 ie 2 + 12 = 14 which is < 16.
mircea_popescu: so then. if these two added together are less than N you've lost some high bits.
mircea_popescu: if l1 of x1 added to the l2 of x2 exceeds N then it doesn't represent x1 * x2
