wyrdmantis: http://xtnodes.com/ italian derps are HOORAYing for a 10% surge in a few hours... i don't even...
jurov: i don't get it too
asciilifeform: i just love these gloriously educated folks who carry on pretending we don't exist.
gernika: Saddest stories I read in school were Bridge to Terebithia, and Where the Red Fern Grows. Not comparable to Fefeleaga I don't think.
asciilifeform: but i don't expect to see the other end of the war in person, either.
mircea_popescu: but i mean he got hair i don't, i got beard he doesn't ?
BingoBoingo: <trinque> I don't think baseball has been the american "thing" for a generator or more << Well "Latin American" thing still
phf: i don't think an aristocratic kid has to scream to get what they want, a baseline of ability is always present and taken for granted, in that sense a reddit sjw is not much different from the wealthy version of the same
phf: mircea_popescu: i don't have a defendable position, i'm not sure i fully understand your "degenerate kids" comment, because it seems like a huge write off.
trinque: I don't think baseball has been the american "thing" for a generator or more
ascii_field: 'Naturally all the documentation is keep secret, but a quick Google search would reveal that one can't simultaneously work at place x, and give lectures at place y, while x and y are hours of travel away. But again the people who control the grant money only check the paperwork they are provided. Is there a bogus employment contract in my name? I don't know but I have reasons to believe so.'
mircea_popescu: i don't think this is at all controversial. the degenerate children of a lost aristocracy are the primary fuel of the imbecillity of revolution.
cazalla: i just don't think i could toss him to the wolves in the public school system
assbot: Logged on 14-08-2015 06:02:18; BingoBoingo: I don't even think the asciilifeform phillipino theory can explain this one. USG must be farming out spam to Montessori schools nao.
cazalla: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-08-2015#1237346 <<< i don't shave and i buzz my ever balding scalp.. i guess that makes me fearful of t3h gh3y then ☝︎
ben_vulpes: i don't vote and i will vote for him
BingoBoingo: I don't even think the asciilifeform phillipino theory can explain this one. USG must be farming out spam to Montessori schools nao. ☟︎
asciilifeform: 'I admit there is value in running a node/mining, but certainly a community that claims to favor freedom should have the ability (and courage) to welcome a diverse range of users, even if they don't meet some arbitrary standard set by an elitist insider.'
mircea_popescu: just like the upside of picking sane girls to fuck isn't "that hot blondie" but "i fucked over a thousand women in my life, most of whose names i don't remember, and yet i never had a venereal disease". that's the upside.
assbot: Logged on 13-08-2015 16:44:22; phf: i think that's the biggest advantage NSA has incidentally, because they can print money, they can probably just spin up a team for every single "core dump on a funny input" and bring it to a point where it'll successfully eat a shellcode. older salaried reversers simply don't have time or desire for that sort of stuff. that's in software world anyway.
mircea_popescu: phf don't get me wrong, i'd love for it to work. i'd also love for the "not beating kids makes them smarter" and "all education should consist of is encouragement" nonsense to work.

asciilifeform: what i don't get is - why?
mats: i don't, but i've been meaning to try hydroponics anyway
Adlai: so just to lay this to rest: i only rewrote the EC group function. ECDSA requires hashing and proper combination of EC group functions, which has not yet been verified. tl;dr: don't use my code
Adlai: "i don't think i smoked enough to pay for a decent book" << as though books are priced by content and not... who knows
mircea_popescu: i don't think i smoked enough to pay for a decent book in those tobacco prices.
ascii_field: internet connection is established. I don't know too much exactly what those do, but one appears to phone home to http://download.lenovo.com/ideapad/wind ... 2_oko.json which is a bit worrying with the combination of a "ForceUpdate" parameter shown and the lack of ssl, making it fairly likely that it's exploitable for remote code execution by anyone who can intercept your traffic(public wifi, etc).'
ascii_field: boils down to the hardness of the fritz chip (and yes, i will keep calling it that, because the motherfuckers don't get to pretend that fritz, palladium, etc. never happened.)
ascii_field: i'm not mpoe-pr and don't engage with sc4mz0rz recreationally
mircea_popescu: i don't think orwell is properly credited with the invention of this term ?
phf: jurov: theoretical potential is not the problem. what i'm saying is that there's existing "flora and fauna" that you're going to run into pretty fast. local деревенские "people from the village", police, military divisions that for all practical purposes own the locations principality style and don't need to "trade" in order to get guns, cars and supplies. for some reason that sort of fantasies don't usually go "let's build a dream su
phf: that's kind of an obvious point to a nerd boy, i thought the solution always was "stop being such a little shit", not "let's change everyone around me so i finally don't feel inadequate"
mircea_popescu: i don't disagree with the point at all, i just don't think that's what happened there.
mircea_popescu: williamdunne i don't expect this is something that can be verbally communicated, and jesus fuck have i wasted some time if that's actually not so. but perhaps it'll be easier to understand when you take yourself out of there.
mircea_popescu: i don't follow ?
nubbins`: nah i don't crochet
mircea_popescu: i dunno, i kinda don't look at that part, because plenty of orthodox nuts otherwise very intelligent.
mircea_popescu: "Mostly it's laziness (or shallowness) and an attempt to seize the moral high ground. It's hard to defend specific issues when you're confronted by someone who simply rejects your basic premises. How do you find out what lines of argument they would find persuasive? (Hint: ask them. Say "what exactly would you accept as proof that I'm right?" Most of the time they don't have a clue, because most people only think about
trinque: I expect to hear in a few years how backward America is because we don't yet have the chip system.
mircea_popescu: I got a lot of responses, but you know what? I now understand why all of these women are hookers and i don't feel bad for them in the least. They are aggressive, flaky and dont want to understand what is happening around them. All I have been getting is women asking me for free bitcoin to buy their "medication". Its life and death apparently.
mircea_popescu: funkenstein_ i'm very vaguely following the black culture stuff, mostly on the grounds that i don't believe it is sterile / doesn't carry much import. so i have nfi. but srsly, you saying the theme is really projected rather than locally brewed ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: see, i've always been sympathetic to 'sure let's warehouse people while energy is cheap and we don't need to plow by hand' - because i always fukcinghated work.
shinohai: precompiled binaries are boring tho. I don't learn anything.
asciilifeform: shinohai: see, i'd post a full recipe and signed binaries today, but we don't quite yet have a pogo-capable - that is, non-ramguzzling - bitcoind ☟︎
mircea_popescu: shinohai maybe i don't understand crosscompilation, but a) shouldn't it work on pogo if you ever got it to compile/link anywhere ? and b) wasn't the idea to avoid compiling for the pogo ON THE POGO anyway ?
assbot: Logged on 11-08-2015 06:14:27; mats: funkenstein_: I don't know specifics of ZWD collapse, but let's say yes, so what?
BingoBoingo: <shinohai> Here is a different story. If someone expresses an interest in therealbitcoin I want to help, because more nodes. << First lesson of reddit is randos don't run nodes
shinohai: I don't mind trying to help someone, like I stated earlier I just didn't have my crayons handy for the type of approach he needed.
mats: funkenstein_: I don't know specifics of ZWD collapse, but let's say yes, so what? ☟︎
asciilifeform: i don't give a flying fuck about the window dressing one.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't think i ever got a pron erection.
trinque: I don't care much about the presidency, but listening to Trump talk about how weak we look around the world, and having no qualms about being an asshole towards the rest of the machine, that's entertainment.
mats: hearing about the potus run secondhand makes me glad I don't waste cycles thinking about it
n6: trinque: my issue is i need an ethernet bridge to install gentoo and don't know how to do that.
shinohai: Pretty simple. Read logs. Don't ask people to help you do one thing, and do another. I have neither the time nor crayons for people like that.
n6: I don't see buildroot-asciilifeform-pogov4.patch in the list of files.
n6: kakobrekla: I don't know what you mean.
trinque: yeah I don't need no stinking touch screen
punkman: the brick doesn't look too bad though, I don't think it's big
n6: googling around it seems like I might need a cert but don't really understand what its asking for.
n6: ascii_field: I'm install it from the app store.. they don't even have a progress bar hope its installing.
ascii_field: 'I'm positively _delighted_ that I can buy consumer products so cheaply and so conveniently, but -- get this -- I'm not in the business of making microwave ovens or wine glasses or books or speakers, but I _do_ expect those who _are_ to have professional tools, so I can buy consumer goods inexpensively with moderately high quality. I don't _want_ Joe Blows' Homemade Microwave Oven, OK?'
ascii_field: shinohai: i don't see an error
shinohai: It's cheaper for me to hire a private nurse. I get better care and don't have to be in a filthy hospital.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: eulora, conceivably, but i don't know enough about how it was built, and precisely by whom, and to what kind of outcome, to say anything interesting
mircea_popescu: phf i don't get this lawyers thing tbh. nothing left of the 60s parisian uprising in the us ?
phf: ben_vulpes, gernika: i just pushed another version. see if "pf/homebrew-eulora" is in brew update results. also it /should/ now use gcc-4.6 but who the fuck knows. rebuild if don't mind spending electricity, i'll continue reading homebrew source code
phf: i.e. you don't need to know about streams to use that function
phf: i've met xach a few times at post-ilc pub sessions, i think he's doing lisp consulting for clozure, but yeah i don't really know the details. i think him, fare, etc. would dismiss this place on superficial grounds being self proclaimed feminists. last i checked fare's twitter it was an equal mix of lisp conversations and sjw rhetoric
phf: williamdunne: rob warnock has a series of posts on how to use lisp effectively even if you don't have emacs running, i often find it a reasonable path for lisp novices, particularly when you don't want the complexity of emacs to get in the way of early explorations. http://xach.com/rpw3/articles/BJqdnd9R65ee3qDbnZ2dnUVZ_vGinZ2d%40speakeasy.net.html, http://xach.com/rpw3/articles/PJudnYz2hfC-HQbYnZ2dnUVZ_ternZ2d%40speakeasy.net.html, http://
williamdunne: Yeah, seems pretty good so far. Only bummer is that all of the libraries I can take advantage of elsewhere don't really exist, and if they do they are entirely undocumented
mircea_popescu: i don't get this.
mircea_popescu: i'm sure they'll make you whole, but if they don't you certainly can get a lawyer and sue them personally and u of maryland for joint and serveral liability.
mircea_popescu: "your job is to X and i don't recall asking if you were rather equipped for Y mr. whatsyourname!"
ben_vulpes: clearly i don't understand how the world werkz
onlooker: Ok so alternative medicine, homeopaths are where generally recognised as doctors prior to the AMA and big pharmas takeover of american medicine. If I'm telling you something you don't know I'll feel special :)
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> i STILL don't understand why just about everybody insists on building stator. << adoption takes a few weeks, have you seen the android numbers?
onlooker: mircea, homeopathy is practiced by a wide variety and includes a vast array of alternative medicine, I'm not suggesting it all works or doesn't. I'm just pointing out that it's difficult to investigate alternative claims when I have to hack around paywalls that I don't respect
assbot: Logged on 09-08-2015 03:20:47; asciilifeform: i STILL don't understand why just about everybody insists on building stator.
onlooker: asciilifeform thanks for asking, I guess a lot of the ideas I'm interested in homeopathic and medical stuff. There's a lot of "cures" out there, and so much of it is behind paywalls. I don't really have a plan for how to change it, I just expect it change for the same reason I expect the money to end.
onlooker: ah, they are old idea lol... they are a good start no doubt, but it's not really my point. Anyway I don't expect the world to see things as I do, if everyone agreed with me I'd be worried anyway lol
mircea_popescu: onlooker i don't think the antiquated legal system being retained was at any point contemplated.
onlooker: I asked if you had an opinion, from the perspective of someone who seems intelligent and uses bigger words than me. I appreciate you taking the time to reply at all, I don't mind if you have no opinion, just I hoped you would see copyright as the elitists use to tell poor people they are not allowed to think
mircea_popescu: then i don't need to have an oppinion on it.
onlooker: I don't think copyright is the same thing as keeping a secret, if you keep a secret and you keep it well then you don't need copyright
asciilifeform: i don't see how it 'is complicated' at all. folks who wanna be paid when i copy a number, get a raging hardon for the state (tm) (r) when it makes noises of promise to make it happen
mod6: so i don't wanna seem like im replicating work; just trying to clean it up a bit.
asciilifeform: i STILL don't understand why just about everybody insists on building stator. ☟︎
funkenstein_: i don' t think so?
trinque: but otherwise I don't remember a specific mention of his political beliefs, aside from seeing it all as bullshit
trinque: I don't expect anything good to come of him except a bitching monster truck rally sponsored by Brawndo
mircea_popescu: i don't see how they wouldn't, practically. a drink's five bux in a bar, their monthly budget back home. what exactly would they do, not like they have any skills of any value
phf: i think i found another issue, that's present on my system too. seems like cs requires openal, but i don't have it in dependencies (nor do i have it installed). not sure if it just went past the issue on my install or what
ben_vulpes: well except i don't think i ever did
phf: ben_vulpes: mm, it looks like your install is picking up some extra packages that i don't have and haven't tested. specifically it's failing trying to build bullet related plugins.
mircea_popescu: i don't think it's got a decade into it left anyway
mircea_popescu: i don't even fucking remember what lsub was
mircea_popescu: i srsly don't see a problem n6. relax an; enjoy.
mircea_popescu: n6 either i'm slow today or something's amiss. i don't get what exactly you think you did wrong from this story.
