mircea_popescu: they didn'
t do it for a good reason according to you. they did it for a good reason according to them.
mircea_popescu: yes. but raider cannibal is much better than christian farmer. bacause raider-cannibal doesn'
t either think he's doing the right thing nor believe it's impossible to do something else.
mircea_popescu: peasant isn'
t the misfortunate victim of his flaws and foibles. peasant is THE DEDICATION to the SPECIFICALLY ELECTED sins and maculae.
Mocky: the insect situation here hard to fathom. they just about don'
t have any. i saw a moth here on the first day, very small. and another moth outside last night, tiny.
Mocky: she didn'
t say so and I didn'
t ask her directly, but I will. She seems like a good asset for making further media contacts and cultural info (topic of magazine) and not direct contact to locals
Mocky: local Qatari men are shoe-ins for high level company / agency / gov jobs and often inherit a lot of wealth, and only ~100k of them so they aren'
t exactly drawn to street crimes
mod6: <+asciilifeform> upstack, i suspect mircea_popescu has the answ to the riddle of why bitcoin hasn'
t killed wu et al -- orcs still perceive having the option not to use btc << They have the option, ~for now~. We know, that the whole world currently runs on "magic money", currently. However, my hunch is that "magic money" and worlds built on fraud can not live for forever. They can last a long time, however
mod6: don'
t these dorks listen to AC/DC? Money Talks, BS Walks.
mod6: I did score a goal though. (Should have had three if I wasn'
t such an out of shape pussy.)
mircea_popescu: some random institution to employ a coupla gals that "weren'
t really working there".
mircea_popescu: no, i understand the concept ; what i don'
t understand is why you think this works well for wildly varied size records.
phf: asciilifeform: correct approach is to download entire trilema and index it locally. folks who don'
t bother to do that have no business searching it :>
mircea_popescu: but why does it do it for q=us! ? shouldn'
t it be q=!us then ?
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in "i don'
t think you know what those words mean", "I’m a geek person and I’m kinda nerd as well. I’m studying in human sciences and I’m a dancer. Also, I'm a young mom of a sweet lil girl who is 2 years old! :3"
a111: Logged on 2018-10-13 00:15 asciilifeform: if anyffing, it's idjits like asciilifeform who are the worst , who buy for usg 2-3 'sidewinders' erry yr and don'
t know how to stop
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but i mean isn'
t the point of this whole wu business that you just walk into an office and send someone a few benjies ?
a111: Logged on 2018-09-01 00:38 mod6: mircea_popescu does have a point re 'freedom of navigation' tho. but ya, if it doesn'
t matter to BingoBoingo, I'm game.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform because lots and lots of "companies" can'
t actually afford counter.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this shit doesn'
t actually work in any sense, does it.
hanbot: I don'
t think I'ma bother to debug their nonsense, as far as I'm concerned Western Union was never even marginally useful for any purpose I can think of. But obviously they did carefully write down all the details before not doing any work, so I dunno...advanced warning I guess? Not sure how much the shitpile can be relied on.
BingoBoingo: The socialism has run to the point things are breaking, and... Bahamas doesn'
t do, Trump does
mod6: Nice talkin' to ya, btw. I know it was short, but I didn'
t wanna burn your time or call money.
mircea_popescu: what they're saying is, "just because he's rich doesn'
t mean we're dirt". which -- it does mean, yes.
trinque: just didn'
t need preventing, as the bad form is screamingly apparent
diana_coman: well yes, I can'
t quite see the point of blanking the manifest without regenesis since that's basically what it means
mircea_popescu: if you want to keep slaves -- then YOU administer the keeping of the slaves. you don'
t ask sheriff of wherver county to implement the fugitive slave act. and so on. who wants prng makes prng, does not get to pretend "oh, kernel has this knob for me, '''im not entirely sure what it does lol'''" tongue in cheek bs, '''i just dress like this, it doesn'
t mean anyhthing''' etc.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Not entirely null, perfectly indicts actor who can'
t do accesible web design
a111: Logged on 2017-04-09 22:51 mircea_popescu: anyway, in the above retelling, the 4->5 transition is the coup the grace. they couldn'
t "follow" each other ~because~, in this view, they were bereft of sufficient bandwith to in any sense communicate. so they couldn'
t, like, end up with all the same one substitute cuntcap.
mircea_popescu: right. otherwise it becomes this arbitrary-point anachronism in the vein of "grandmother should have fucked better sailors on the basis of how retarded granson is, and i can prove this by showing grandson was alive at an arbitrary point in time grandmother hadn'
t died yet."
mircea_popescu: i am by now thoroughly allergic to this "downstream wants something upstream doesn'
t provide, so it's neither time to bring out the whips and chains upon the downstream nor to throw out the upstream and bake a new one, but instead let's hotwire the microwave ballast to the toaster."
a111: Logged on 2016-08-18 22:32 asciilifeform: 'The situation is somewhat akin to a retarded girlfriend trying to flood your apartment, that not only opens all the faucets and stops all the drains, but also takes the "extremely clever" measure of puncturing the water pipes, so she can then preciously inform you that "turning off the faucets won'
t help" and you must work with her to somehow create a raft out of your widescreen TV so as to navigate the marshy terrain that used to b
mircea_popescu: don'
t tell me your problem is not having a 3d printer./
mod6: I can do that -- the "1" in front didn'
t work for me tho!
mircea_popescu: in a word, ave1 : don'
t be shy. there's a time to be shy, but when they bring out the playdo's not that time. shove it up shirts, see what happens.
mircea_popescu: and looking back, wasn'
t that much trouble at all. just needed to be done. 20 bux, whassat.
mod6: Ok, that's fine. Let's see what kinda calls we get in those two months. And then we'll go from there. $7 isn'
t too bad at all, anyway.
mircea_popescu: there shall be ONE random. and if there isn'
t one, throw the shirt iron out with the garbage. and if there's "two", throw the "engineer" responsible out with the garbage.
mircea_popescu: i'm naively assuming it wouldn'
t, but in fairness haven'
t actually looked into the gnarl.
mircea_popescu: i don'
t get it. you have one (kernel) reading from tty putting it into /dev/?random ; and however many apps reading from there as now.
phf: bvt: that doesn'
t contradict what i said
bvt: and i'm don'
t know yet if files created this way can be mv'ed to file system
phf: asciilifeform: well, temp_file_name makes a temporary _name_, if you're relying on an atomic create, then you need to change the interface, where you try and create a temp file, and then bail. in that case though you don'
t even need any randomness. just use a counter
phf: bvt: this doesn'
t need much C, it's a loop with a termination condition of not Ada.Directories.Exists(Filename), and the tricky part is the construction of said Filename. it could be a Prefix ("vpatch.") + keccak hash(salt + pid + time + ???).
phf: well, it's also a reason why bug wasn'
t caught in development. a sequence of wtfs: linux man page says mktemp should be 3 or more X's, so project builds on a non-musl build. meanwhile POSIX mandates there to be exactly 6 X's, so a musl build fails to produce a random string, returning instead a blank one, which is when gnat decides to not only generate a temp file but also do cleanup.
Mocky: unrelatedly, i saw the craziest thing leaving the air port. there are a lot of indian dudes around doing public works type labor jobs. landscaping, pickup up trash, construction etc. I saw one, and i swear he was mowing the grass with a chain saw, all squatted down. now maybe he was cutting something else, but there was nothing else there! and damn if the that lawn wasn'
t pristine as a golf course
BingoBoingo: Then there's the grow shops of which "Tu Cultivo" is the only one I can recall off hand that doesn'
t have Grow in the name.
BingoBoingo: Then there's the all English menu at the Burger King, which is a mindfuck because it can'
t be used without substituting spanish vowels for the English oness
mircea_popescu: so it turns out one of the greatest impediments wasn'
t so impending after all, huh.
mircea_popescu: anyway, point being -- lamp's enough, don'
t have to turn off the chap's computor.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is an amusing symmetry, republican machine that halts if it can'
t touch entropy like imperial machine that halts if it can'
t phone nsa hq.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-10 21:22 bvt: I can'
t say I'm doing anything interesting in everyday life (PhDing in CS)
phf: asciilifeform: to be fair musl's version is naive, it generates/stats in a loop until there's no collision, but theoretically you can still get a race condition. glibc i believe does all kinds of smart tricks to ensure that doesn'
t happen, but it's all magic
bvt: I can'
t say I'm doing anything interesting in everyday life (PhDing in CS)
☟︎ bvt: Sorry, don'
t have a WWW, but the fix should be a one-liner
mircea_popescu: in the immortal words of kramer, "i tried to make gravel and... it... it just didn'
t work"
Mocky: oh, i didn'
t realize it was that much better with aggression. my prior, discouraged attempt was without aggression and looking to be substantially slower than 3 weeks
Mocky:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-10#1859947 >> btw, has there been any consideration of publishing a signed tar ball of the first, say half million blocks. not to have them set in stone, but like 'at height 550000, these were the first 500k' for purpose of eat-block jumpstart for nodeless noobs, such as myself? Log search didn'
t reveal it to my eyes.
☝︎ mircea_popescu doesn'
t share the coon hate, having never lived for long where they actually were pests.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i recall this video of a coon exhibiting all the "intelligent" behaviour of black chicks code : was rubbing a rock against a glass door, because it had seen rocks open glass doors before but didn'
t quite understand how impact works. so cargocultcoon.
