mircea_popescu: and i can just as you can measure the wavelength of the generator on the basis of the mark left behind eh.
mircea_popescu: i have, and saw enough burns. that patch of skin was welted by application of a cane, not fucking "laser"
asciilifeform: and this is the first case i learned of where victim owned measuring equipment of whatever sort.
mircea_popescu: i dun recall what it was for "true" hermaphroditism in "average" population, maybe 20 or somesuch ppm ?
mircea_popescu: i don't think i've seen a woman over 50 that wasn't over 30bmi in my entire time among teh muslims, actually.
mircea_popescu: i'd say futa = deeply sexualized female, with monstrously large male genitals that violate basic physics (chiefly in that they can disappear under clothes, and don't need blood to function)
mircea_popescu: https://skyrimfuta.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/superduperfinalpass1.jpg << i would say this is just about average ?
asciilifeform: i caaant wait for some buterinesque halfwit to bring hansen's 'futarchy' to shitcoin.
mircea_popescu: i was discussing the model, theoretically.
mircea_popescu: "buttfun-ex owes me fiddy billion because i spent 839 kr to buy up its scamtokens"
mats: i'll diversify my portfolio into dogecoin and gaiacoin just as soon as i scoop some bitfinex shares
covertress: sorry, idk the dynamics of this feifdom and don't know who 'ranks'... but, fair warning.. im gonna call it like i see it
covertress: i only bet on a sure thing. myself.
covertress: i was bored
asciilifeform: i wish i were making this up...
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-07#1516310 << on top of all of this, as if it were not enough: intel's bios crapolade, at least such as have been released or leaked, builds STRICTLY under winblowz. i shit thee not, MB of .bat. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: or #whatever, i kinda lost count. what's the official uber alles count ?
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-07#1516329 << 'all hail the wehrmacht! i mean, the bundeswehr!! hail to our modern allieeees..' -- tom lehrer ☝︎
mircea_popescu: the only problem with this approach is that it's utterly unsustainable. by the time "they just want to" that, the sword's all out of the sheath, and i'm way the fuck more likely to buy obama's daughters by the pound than they're to "win the war on x" or w/e the fuck.
mircea_popescu: i suppose the usians are special, they call government "Administration" and the state "government"
mats: i await mp intel that indicates inside job
mircea_popescu: mats i suspect you don't understand how anglo agitprop works.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-06 18:10 asciilifeform: phf: see, i did not know that you implemented entire stack, always assumed that you had it hanging off znc or the like
mats: asciilifeform: i don't see how any of it is workable tbh
asciilifeform: it is useful information and i see 0 reason to piss it away.
asciilifeform: jurov: this is not a solution, i refuse to scramble the order
mircea_popescu: heh i see that i'm not the first to notice.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-06#1516215 << i have no idea who thinks this, but they'd be rather clueless and in any case wrong. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: the major problem in poker isn't "fair dealing", it's debotting it. but i have a ready solution for this problem too, and im persuaded it's complete. ☟︎
shinohai: if i had capital to start a pr0n biz i'd call it that xD
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-06#1515840 << i nearly missed this lul! ☝︎
shinohai: i made pokarbot but only plays simple texas hold 'em rules
asciilifeform: i'd guess players yearn for this like they yearn for a molten sodium turbine reactor in their living room.
mats: not that I know of
mats: i'm not confident in my ability to write secure crypto
asciilifeform: perhaps i can push you in a useful direction ?
mats: i played with the idea but i need an alf (or a coupla years of free time to eat the prerequisite knowledge)
phf: oh i've seen that code, so whoever worked on that migration is a saint
mircea_popescu: neways, city calls so i shall be back later a bit.
asciilifeform: mats: i thought that was you !
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i have the advantage of ready at my beak and call stable of otherwise intelligent, educated and detail-oriented womenz. i can soak up all sorts of unimaginable things the average "vc team" et all couldn't possibly.
asciilifeform: i.e. kamikaze labour that cannot possibly be +ev to those doing
mircea_popescu: anyway, re phf's "of course i thought about writing bbet" : the problem there's not "write the site", thats a trivial task to be done in a brief time by a single competent coder. the problem there, and the reson i'm not pushing for replacement, is "how to administer bets". and until i have a good idea i won't push for this, because it's ~futile as it is, will just pile busywork on some people for no actual benefit.
mats: virtually all of these i've seen have three glass walls on em
asciilifeform: incidentally i've wondered for many years why american atm builders had not yet thought of including hand-trap in the thing
mircea_popescu: so do i!
phf: all these stories from mp basement, i feel like i'm missing out
phf: (i actually integrated that code into btcbase two weekends ago, which is when i piped up about it. but then i went to ocean city, twice now :> so no free weekend of hacking)
asciilifeform: phf: see, i did not know that you implemented entire stack, always assumed that you had it hanging off znc or the like ☟︎
trinque: this sasl bit is the last thing before I sign a vpatch
trinque: mircea_popescu: precisely what I'm working on
trinque: yeah, that's why I'm farting around with sasl over here
asciilifeform: phf: am i mistaken ?
asciilifeform: phf: the reason i complain is that the fix is a 1liner, as cited above
phf: asciilifeform: ~one~ thread. every time bot goes down i get a "wtf" treatment from you. bot disconnects because there's a connection issue. it doesn't reconnect because there's no reconnection code. i will fix that eventually. i've said as much every time the subject comes up. so i'm supposed to just work on this shit to a chorus of "loooooog dooooown wtf incompetence"?
mircea_popescu: quite so. it's a deep problem, i have been toying with for many years, because i never do just one single thing at a time.
phf: asciilifeform: of course i thought about writing bbet, but that means that i can't work on log, or would spend less time on it. to answer question re no reconnect, at some point there was a reason, which i since realized was silly. to now rewrite bot and integration takes time. which i took, now takes time to integrate etc. if i was working on this full time could finish all in a couple of days. as is, i'm literally hacking in a car on
mircea_popescu: ie, in case of bitbet things worked smoothly because i never trusted the nonsense ; in the case of the dao unsmoothly because the idiots actually tried this "the code is law" nonsense.
mircea_popescu: anyway. eulora made i dun recall, some tens of btcs selling its product so far. bitbet took in i dun recall idem, but maybe a few hundred to a thousand selling its product ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i believe him when he says, "i've simply not thought about it". which is the beauty of tmsr, gets people thinking about things.
asciilifeform: i, for instance, would pay for a metal cmucl
phf: mircea_popescu: i will have to think about it, because to be honest i've not given it any thought. i'm not immediately seeing a cause for it though
mircea_popescu: hey, i'm not asking him questions because i hate him. i'm asking him questions because i'm nice!
phf: i don't grok the business strategy of "here's the project i'm working on, it lost x btc so far". cardano had a deliverable, that could be sold, everything else seems to be "tmsr marketing"
phf: why don't i lose my shit like kako?
phf: best case scenario, i'll just lose my shit like kako
phf: well, unfortunately i don't have S.LOG to make monthly excuses to shareholders in. log upkeep is like the janitorial work of tmsr, doesn't even come with a promise of future millions
asciilifeform: i actually recall phf saying something about why he didn't make it loop forever reconnecting, but cannot find in the l0gz
phf: i'm thinking of moving it to cock box, but i doubt that's going to be better, since the policy there sets it up to be an attack box
phf: ben_vulpes: like clockwork. i will do the tmsr thing and claim that wreckers are blackholing teh server
ben_vulpes: "There's a possibility they may not be the only ones that are doing this, but right now we feel if they are the only ones that are doing this, with this arrest we hope we will be able to curb the amount of thefts occurring," said Woods. << quote i'd meant to drop last night re the carlol
trinque: 230 lines now with maybe 100 of that being nickserv logic I haven't deleted yet
trinque: asciilifeform: I mean perfect in the latter sense
asciilifeform: trinque: naggum expounded on the difference between the 2 basic types of program (and program-writer) - the 'exam-taking', 'solved problem!11 i'm done!' and 'reusable, readable, for the ages'
trinque: relatedly I've read cl-irc and the thing is a haphazard mess
trinque: right now after I issue AUTHENTICATE PLAIN the thing times out
trinque: if I can get sasl to work I will have an afaik perfect bot
mircea_popescu: i was just trying to get BingoBoingo 's links and noticed.
mircea_popescu: so i think i invented a new cocktail. you cut up a fresh ripple pineapple, into small chunks. you pour an inch of fine cognac into an old style whiskey glass. you proceed to dip the chunks and eat them.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> what, i wonder, are the stats for u.s. car repo ? << Behold how normal the repo trucks look now! Some even have boring original factory truck bed!!! http://www.ebay.com/bhp/repo-wrecker
asciilifeform: i meant, what is proximate mechanism
asciilifeform: i just realized that i have 0 idea who pisses bed and why
asciilifeform: aaactually you can get quite a bit of 'bang for the buck' purely with internalized 'enforcement', i.e. brainwash.
mircea_popescu: more to the point, the "classical village" is an entity that survived fine with a dazzling array of law and regulation that a) exceeds in complexity modern codes and b) was entirely oral in nature while at the same time having... no police. at all, i mean. none. zip.
asciilifeform: i always pictured 'church' as a sort of animal that lives in the cracks of 'state'
mircea_popescu: but go ahead, illustrate this difference between "a state" and "a church", i'm all ears.
mircea_popescu: then again i spent some time dripping wax on bare tits in 5 century old euro churches, also.
mircea_popescu: hey, i spent some time with that.
mircea_popescu: can't say i'm entirely opposed to the idea. then i can just log into facebook backend, direct selected womenz to preferred fuckpad ?
asciilifeform: i can already picture sad sacks banging on the doors of mercedes in their driveways, tears
mircea_popescu: "i'm not. they stole it."
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as i understand it, car repo is a routine event in usa, if debtor defaults
mircea_popescu: i used to regularly humiliate them for their sheer ignorance, back in the days i almost cared.
asciilifeform: what, i wonder, are the stats for u.s. car repo ?
mircea_popescu: not a serious problem, i really intend to simply include a chat client. didn't mention this in the fls, but... all comms should be over irc anyway.
diana_coman: hm, kind of hard to say before having done at least some sort of concrete start on this; at this moment I'd say half more as a guess than an estimate
mircea_popescu: meh wait, i did the 8 conversion the wrong way. 50kbps ~= 10 messages / s if they average 600bytes each
mircea_popescu: "if i can't comfortably lift the girl in the air, maybe it's time to work out! or maybe it's time to find another girl!" thought no groom ever. "if my wedding threatens to look exactly like the wedding of every other bourgeois idiot, maybe it's time to take off the dress" thought every bride ever, AND THEN CHICKENED OUT ON IT. etc etc.
mircea_popescu: possibly one of the more depressing activities available in contemporaneity is checking out the portofolio of one of those "artist" photographers that in practice survives out of taking wedding pictures. i don't mean the friend-of-the-bride etsy idiot that DOESN'T survive. i mean the dude who keeps a steady stream of work enough to feed a family, provided that family somehow decided to do on half the income of a plumber becau
ben_vulpes: even /i/ know investopedia is trash
