mircea_popescu: anyway, mayo chick's totally worth a skipread, in the http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-02#1916737 sense. " We can put together so potent an arsenal for unearthing a given error that when we fail to find it we have excellent grounds for concluding that the error is absent." and so on and on and forever . ☝︎
mircea_popescu: , and obviously a perfect candidate for the same fate.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-10 00:53 asciilifeform: 'A 59-year-old woman who was a senior official at a Washington think-tank was fatally stabbed in Baltimore’s Roland Park neighborhood as she was walking her dogs Friday night, police said.'
mircea_popescu: other than repurposed cat growers / arts & crafts poets, the foremost female on the list (at #9) is http://www.profnancycartwright.com/ ; as contemptible a piece of pantsuit shit / femstate "architect" as could be ever found. replete with all the makings of a typical macauley ☝︎
mircea_popescu: and cornell's a notorious lolcow farm. and i don't teach HTWAWAOTSWCLR 101, thus "We learn from our mistakes. Few would take issue with this disctum. If it is more than merely a cliche, then it wouldseem of interest to epistemologists to inquire how knowledge is obtained from mistakes or from error." results in 62. Nicholas Rescher loses to Rudolf Carnap by 140–8, loses to Deborah Mayo by 38–27 Alan Musgrave loses to
BingoBoingo: Leiter's a notorious lolcow.
BingoBoingo: Ah, the sidebar gives it away. It is a Brian Leiter production.
mircea_popescu: if popper's a philosopher, thus therefore so are both r. feyman and that russian fellow who said "fuck you, who the fuck are you to give me awards, nitwits". much more of a philosopher (in the sartre-ian tradition) than whatever Deborah Mayo, this Audre Lorde professor emeritus of Women Can Add Too (if you don't rush them or say the mean about the buttock fats)
mircea_popescu: well, karl popper / thomas khun. tho they're philosophers in a very dubous sense, kuhn's a sociologist and popper's a historian of science.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-19#1918597 << list seems to consist of a handful of... germans, + buncha 'whothefuck are these' ☝︎
mircea_popescu: sorta like a bayes for the femtards & assorted pantsuits that don't like systems of equations.
asciilifeform: a++ built-in battery contacts tho.
mircea_popescu: a right, wouldn't write on them or something, i dun recall. might've been one of the earliest
asciilifeform: iirc was a 'tits' provider.
asciilifeform: iirc this was a former... patient of mircea_popescu's
asciilifeform: ... when we finally have a genesised kernel, can rip that nonsense out entirely.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-17 23:04 asciilifeform: meanwhile, in heathen lulz: Linux >= 2.6.29... ... A sequence of SACKs may be crafted such that one can trigger an integer overflow, leading to a kernel panic i.e. 'packet'o'death'.
mircea_popescu: i guess the logical summation of this would be that we all sit down and make a pact
mircea_popescu: entirely 0 human beings available, if counting by the criteria of "capable of getting a ircd federated by ANY other network"
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in heathen lulz: Linux >= 2.6.29... ... A sequence of SACKs may be crafted such that one can trigger an integer overflow, leading to a kernel panic i.e. 'packet'o'death'. ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2014-08-27 02:03 asciilifeform: bats_cd03: 'random' means one thing if you're running 'monte carlo' sims (digits of 'pi' work beautifully, as does 'A Million Random Digits with 100,000 Normal Deviates' (rand corp, 1955. book.))
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: ty, I new I missed a lulzy linkable
asciilifeform: there's a lengthy rogue's gallery of these laddelizations, 'freenet', 'gnunet', etc
mircea_popescu: i don't come up with this shit because i have a very peculiar sense of humour, or for some sort of art project, or because i'm fucking bored some evening.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-17 17:27 mircea_popescu: obviously "nothing happens", until one day, when suddenly linus posts on his myspace page about how he's turned off a portion of github or w/e.
mircea_popescu: yet that perfect cifcle you don't have informs a lot more of your daily activity than whatever else.
asciilifeform: this is tru, i dun have a perfect circle on my desk either
asciilifeform: i dunno where exists this frictionless horse, the market with no entry cost. at the very least one needs working legs (or , in mechanized market, a working comp & net pipe ) neh
hanbot: lol show me a market sometime, i'd love to see it! :D
mircea_popescu: definitionally, market is ~no barrier to entry~. if you have to buy a ticket to get in, it's no longer a market, it's a disco club.
hanbot: mircea_popescu, zero mention of btc anywhere on paxum.com. there's pax*ful*, i guess. for some reason lists market price at a 9% discount, iono what kind of "market" it can be.
mircea_popescu: WHATEVER IT IS, you can only have a market if you control the city.
mircea_popescu: this is nonsense. "idempotent" my foot. if it has a domain name, it has a domain name. if it has an ip instead, has an ip. if it uses a dns round robin, now there's the dns.
mircea_popescu: obviously "nothing happens", until one day, when suddenly linus posts on his myspace page about how he's turned off a portion of github or w/e. ☟︎
asciilifeform: only in the sense that e.g. a concrete, particular electron is 'centralized'. but it is readily idempotent with other electrons. and simple board that does 0 moderation or faux-wotism is similarly idempotent.
mircea_popescu: and now ~that board~ is a readily available avenue of attack for the sort of morons who are threatened by naked women, slavery, nigger inferiority, what have you. as per ye olde http://trilema.com/2013/digging-through-archives-yields-gold/
asciilifeform: imho there's nuffin wrong with a board where folx post 'will buy', 'will sell', etc. problem starts when board operator purports to substitute own hands for users' correct use of wot
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu himself had a piece re 'silk road' where 'some markets dun belong centralized, even if this makes for 9000x headache for user'
mircea_popescu: is this a different paxum maybe ?
asciilifeform: hanbot: i suspect that the entire idea of centralized bulletin board for 'buy & sell coin' is as intrinsically usgistic as that of a gox (i.e. centralized coin/fiat exchange). it makes for an irresistible target, and is why all to date eventually were killed & replaced w/ honeypot taxidermy of self
mircea_popescu: hanbot, really ? they were making a big deal about trying to benefit from localbitcoin closure

BingoBoingo: Follow up with some less headlined but egregious USG sites will probably be baked in a couple months.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in #harem news, tangle (tm) wrist-bound but otherwise nude raver girlies make for a pretty... well, interior decoration, how shall we put this.
mircea_popescu: in light of the marked tendency of your last dozen or so articles, is it the case you're sorta training in the corner for a trishophood ?
mircea_popescu: yeah, the more modern, mroe efficient dam gear squeezes that extra % at the cost of all sorts of intolerances. you can't run a dam on no load
BingoBoingo: I was without power for a few hours.

a111: Logged on 2019-06-15 19:14 asciilifeform: aim is a 'mips 4000' compat. item (for ease of hardwarization, when time comes) if anyone cares. and at some pt will also have to port gnat, cuntoo... to it.
BingoBoingo: An update on the power situation: Since the local power company must compensate customers for outages here, today's events incurred a rather substantial damage. Curious to see the fireworks that'll happen whether or not UTE pursues the money from Argentina's power company.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> that and declining cable interest. << So Antel has a free tv streaming thing all of their customers can use. One of its few channels is NBA network
BingoBoingo: "Refiriéndose a la precandidata como "la doña", Mujica afirmó que "le cortó la cara a las multinacionales de la comunicación y contribuyó a que Uruguay sea el país más digitalizado de América Latina" y que "la criticaron por el Antel Arena pero ahora va a venir la NBA a jugar" en él."

asciilifeform went and dug up 'asciilifeform in bmore' thrd, and saw that he used a rubbish image paste thing. this was a mistake, and nao corrected. perma-archive of the item nao here. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: sure, one might preserve them, as museums. but i wouldn't wanna live in the house a rich jew from 1819 built for himself and his family anymore than i'd wanna live in the mote & baily some never-washed briton built for the ugly lass he broke his prick in
asciilifeform: retrofitting a toilet, bath, aint exactly mars mission tho
mircea_popescu: ideally what i'd want would be 16 or so hectare's worth of wel ldrained soil on calcarous substrate, moderatelly hilly, covered in walnut or mixed cherry planted 20 meters apart sometime around 1970 ; within 20 miles of a main road but not closer than 5.
asciilifeform: this is a point, ameristani matchstick dwellings much cheaper to rework
mircea_popescu: yeah, but how are they gonna excavate a floor underneath ?
mircea_popescu: shitty, 1 bathroom per floor and what's a 3x3 meter tub
mircea_popescu: somehow romania consists of a large aggregate pile of debris whose individual cost to own exceeds both expected lifetime utility and replacement value
mircea_popescu: unless i rent a mall... and honestly, the shit here is not worth owning.
mircea_popescu: oh. it's a rental ;/
mircea_popescu: as cool concrete two level subteranean "parking" / basement built to industrial standards would be... in this shithole it'd be a liability more than anything.
mircea_popescu: anyways, i was entertaining vague "why not buy a few acres of orchard somewhere, plant down a haremhous". but i'm now thoroughly disabused of a notion
mircea_popescu: i have nfi. hangs out with nicoleci 's described "matress store" consisting of a piling of matresses and an old woman in a room
mircea_popescu: be it the "dj" who, atop the roof of a parking lot, is trying to "mc" some of the saddest retarded-white-trash-kids-from-the-ghetto-made-themselves-a-band-just-like-their-mommies-heard-those-rich-suburban-kids-used-to-do-in-THEIR-moms-garages-backintheninteties
mircea_popescu: dying-dead-decaying-decayed as a metaphorical approach sounds trite through overuse, but it's also chillingly accurate. from the very specific feel of the particular manner in whichaustro-hungarian architectural heritage's decaying (becayse yes, this is very highly specific, it's not just a word or just ten words, it's "german musical universe" sort of precise, particular and specific)
asciilifeform: ( must save/load'em when calling unix to drive console i/o, disk, etc. when under a unix, but on bare irons not even this )
asciilifeform: other aspect of this, picture trying to rewrite a 'dynamic' emu like bellard's, to run on e.g. arm.
mircea_popescu: i think you have a point, re compiles.
asciilifeform: stack is also statically allotted on warmup, a la ffa.
asciilifeform: in my clockwork there is no heap allocation, and errything that can live in machine reg, does. (the only allocation is one mmap, for the emu-ram, a user-specified x GB chunk, after that 100% regs/stack)
asciilifeform: there is ~not~ a shortage of irons. but there ~is~ a shortage of soft that actually behaves to spec and fitsinhead.
asciilifeform: strangely enuff, dun seem that any of the game emulator people, ever baked a properly hand-asmed emu for it
diana_coman: heh, sounds like a very nice vacation indeed
asciilifeform: to sorta tie into the 'games' thrd, found out by way of digging for mipsisms, that : 'playstation 1' toy box was apparently a mips (3000) .
asciilifeform: if folx come up with serious use for item outside of piz shared cluster (where it is imho direly needed) i'ma also do a 64bit mips at some pt.
asciilifeform: aim is a 'mips 4000' compat. item (for ease of hardwarization, when time comes) if anyone cares. and at some pt will also have to port gnat, cuntoo... to it. ☟︎☟︎
a111: Logged on 2019-06-04 13:29 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-04#1917019 << i'ma describe, for the l0gz, the hypothetical. suppose mips emu in asm ( the heathen item in fact compiles to a 30kB elf , not esp. complex, but would want clean rewrite really ). this'd be proggy that takes disk image and it tx/rx raw frames to/from nic, so can have own ip etc. then 1 large amd box can host coupla 100 instances of mips linux from known image. <1s teardown/bringup.
asciilifeform: ftr, during 'vacation' wrote a vehehery rought draft of item prev. discussed in log ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: job security, it's a primum bonum in the ustardian understanding of "free market"
asciilifeform: naturally only diana_coman can answer this q. but fwiw asciilifeform has yet to encounter a single case where burning the heathen abstraction to the ground and baking new one didn't make problem substantially simpler in the end.
diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-14#1918191 -> the q being ofc if the existing "abtractions" really help much or just make it even harder; a sort of C/CPP thing rather than Ada thing. ☝︎
asciilifeform: i have suspicion that it'd scale fine if the folx baking gpu irons had baked for it (e.g. picture properly-bouncing gouraud tits) . whereas i dun recall a single 'textured' game where critters did not from certain angles look 'wooden'.
asciilifeform: lba 2 , incidentally, had light sourcing / reflections / etc. and ~also~ not only demanded no gpu, but still ran on 486 dx2 a++
asciilifeform: 'The 3D ojects are not texture mapped (= wrapping textures on a 3D object), but they get their color from gouraud shading' etc
asciilifeform: and all of this w/out anything resembling a 3d gpu card
asciilifeform: makes sense, i suppose thing takes 'this vertex is a joint, with such-and-such polar coord range' etc
asciilifeform: still rly oughta, imho, live as a fairly straightforward seq of numerics
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-14#1918157 << i cannot resist to ask -- i thought 'blender' were a 3d shape editor tool ?? why does it need 'api' ☝︎
BingoBoingo: So it appears. Thing appears set to go to end in a run off between the FA candidate and the Blanco candidate with the Colorado candidate serving only to make sure the thing goes to a runoff.
BingoBoingo: Meanwhile in local news they had a debate between two of the many candidates from the many parties. One was the Colorado who identifies as an economist http://bingology.net/2019/05/26/overview-of-local-electoral-politics-heading-into-the-impending-party-internals/#selection-127.0-131.39 the other some FA guy that didn't make my write up
mircea_popescu: practically, it'll prolly work as a hostile fork.
lobbes: heh, I have a buddy here that did just that
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Beat feedbot by a bit
asciilifeform: ( a coupla particular quislings, e.g. orig author of gentoo -- WITH pension/etc. )
asciilifeform: ( recall when 'email virus' concept was a hoax ? )
asciilifeform: 'hostile text files' << the primacy crown, afaik, still goes to microshit , where these were a thing even in 1990s
