mircea_popescu: phf i agree to the concept.

phf: i personally prefer logs to be accidentally realtime, but with stronger correctness guarantees, so it's down for a bit, but there's no message loss. otherwise we have a new jersey solution of "check that a111 is in chan before you say things that you don't want lost"

phf: on the bright side it looks like i finally have time to work on some code improvements

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-15#1466754 << i checked, seems to be fixed. does it self-heal phf or do you have to tickle tits by hand ? ☝︎

asciilifeform: the american college racket illustrates this better than anything else i could think of

BingoBoingo: https://i.imgur.com/bAt1n5z.png

asciilifeform: i watched this, alive.

asciilifeform: recent specimens of wunderwaffen are liable to, i shit thee not, have '3d printed' plastic parts.

asciilifeform: it screams 'i pay for some derp to go to yaleprinceward and for two shriveled hags' alimony'

mircea_popescu: i have nfi who designed an anti-nuke system that depends on parking lots ffs. or, for that matter, who the fuck believes this/

gribble: What do you think I am, a shell?

asciilifeform: though, funnily, i know of at least one winblowz trojan that bundled a mips ~emulator~ internally

mircea_popescu: so currently i'm suspecting it's more of an environment issue than an old man issue

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform depends. i am not convinced by this theory because i've seen the % vary very wildly across culutres.

asciilifeform: a kind of 'dog in the manger' in just about every case i've personally dealt with

a111: Logged on 2016-05-14 19:41 mircea_popescu: mental health, i mean. the problem of "coffin liners" that asciilifeform discussed in the log is the direct counter to this. if they don't catch their death of cold, they lose track of themselves. this is not good.

asciilifeform: i'm not certain that a setup built by folks who 'hate the morlocks' would be readily distinguishable from the existing one.

asciilifeform: well the way i read the thread, it was about hypothetical 'if these 3 folks stay home, the trains stop' vs classic sov 'i'ma be a furnace stoker instead of engineer because fuckyou'

asciilifeform: presumably you and i would notice if they decided to vodka instead of work one day

asciilifeform: i love it when mircea_popescu takes 'my' traditional side in argument - e.g., as seen here, argument ad metacocksucknsa ☟︎

asciilifeform: i can think of 1,001 illicit uses

a111: Logged on 2016-05-14 19:26 mircea_popescu: i don't think one third of present "first world" folk would pass a rigorous sanity check as executed by 1916 mental health practitioners.

asciilifeform: i dun have a thermovisor atm so can't tell for 100%.

BingoBoingo: none particularly close to where I frequent

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-14#1466510 << there is a house, in a washington suburb, next to a certain restaurant that i sometimes take pet to, it has iron door and 'high voltage sign', and claims to be an electric co substation, but has normal utility wire going to it, and sometimes lights (and curtains) in the windows. i always say, 'this is cia safehouse, perhaps i can apply to be dismembered here' ☝︎

shinohai: I couldn't find what the outcome of their "legal options" were tho

shinohai: Saturday evening facesitting: http://i.4cdn.org/b/1463260904535.jpg

hanbot: school of hardest knocks, i guess.

hanbot: but i'm in a good mood.

hanbot: i suspect nature is stocked with enough barbs to allow for the occasional narrow escape without sacrificing doom&consequence.

mircea_popescu: mental health, i mean. the problem of "coffin liners" that asciilifeform discussed in the log is the direct counter to this. if they don't catch their death of cold, they lose track of themselves. this is not good. ☟︎

hanbot: not that i think the victim shouldn't be blamed in such cases. an exemption for eg francis bacon would've been nice tho.

hanbot: mircea_popescu i think that's supposed to go "fewer great people die from preventable causes than then"

diana_coman: for the other if it is for a simple explanation, I'd go for the fact that many more used to die before they even reached 15 or whatever

mircea_popescu: i do not care to distinguish which specific facet of progress did more, or most, or anything.

diana_coman: <mircea_popescu> i have no fucking idea how progress, improvement and liberation resulted in a palpable drop of 25-30 iq points across the entire population, but there it is. <- uhm, correlation ate causation much?

mircea_popescu: i have no fucking idea how progress, improvement and liberation resulted in a palpable drop of 25-30 iq points across the entire population, but there it is.

hanbot: well i imagine most women would get the "hysterical" stamp anyway.

mircea_popescu: i don't think one third of present "first world" folk would pass a rigorous sanity check as executed by 1916 mental health practitioners. ☟︎

BingoBoingo: In other pr0nz https://i.imgur.com/LPbBsnu.jpg

shinohai: i didn't catch that, nice one hanbot

asciilifeform: no spy recruit booth, i am mega-disappoint!11111

mircea_popescu: i think you might have found the us spy convention.

asciilifeform: i dun get it, why leech from my site vs sks

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it had the biggest discone antenna i've ever seen on a roof

mircea_popescu: anyway, i can't recall who's wash ro ambassador. but traditionalyl that thing's a total rat's nest of spyppls.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'm about to see expo at ro embassy. anything specifically lulzy there to watch for ?

mircea_popescu: i suppose i tell him to write for qntra ? :D

shinohai: I am getting this error for some reason when generating ascii graphs: Warning: Layouter could only place 31 nodes/31 edges out of 31/34 - giving up at t.pl line 312.

shinohai: I got obsessed with tbot features last night.

shinohai: ;;later tell mod6 I almost have bot able to accept tickets, needs a few tweaks.

shinohai: Still rather nice to wake up to I'd say.

mircea_popescu: oh i c

joecool: mircea_popescu: i believe he did that for what they call, the lulz

shinohai: bwahaha I have a `t` bot working mod6

mod6: i'll work on it a bit more later.

mircea_popescu: i guess one thing here is, maybe qntra should have a lexicon ?

BingoBoingo: Perhaps not, I'll replace it with a better article from Trilema

mircea_popescu: to quote teh typically frustrated esltard, "I like this game, but I have gotten as far as I can go...not the end of the game, mind you, I just can't get any farther. There is no information available anywhere about how to get past these obstacles. No point in playing anymore. "

shinohai: I haven't found much material this month. Reddit makes me vomit.

trinque: shinohai: yeah I'll fix that css

shinohai: I have to say an anal fisting website would have been low on my list of hacking priorities but I still salute them.

shinohai: I couldn't resist.

mod6: i've done so much work with peopel over irc or even screen-sharing while remote, this irl stuff is insane

shinohai: ;;later tell trinque Can't click on top links on wiki, must manually enter >>> http://i.imgur.com/cKYghFB.png?1

mircea_popescu: phf for THAT kind of pairing, you can't beat irc pairing. it's, in a sense, what i do all day, let "weaker" (ie, more specialised) pairs drive, i got a whole raft of 'em.

ben_vulpes: i'm certainly doing things dramatically differently next time.

mircea_popescu: i think i may even do it that way deliberately - make it a girls only corporation and fu. just to bother teh ustards.

mod6: we'll have to put a flag in here so I can give the details later when I go to next_place. XXX

ben_vulpes: you think i'm unaware?

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i'll have you know that s.mg is/was ever since forever 100% girl tech corp.

mod6: i don't feel the need to try to improve someone else.

mod6: phf: i can't stand watching her type. nor her formatting. and she doesn't really understand version control.

mod6: i'd much rather work remote and "pair" that way. it's not super bad or anything, cept for the commute, and not being able to sneak off to tmsr~

mod6: peer. so i've been hacking all the code together and 'driving' while she sits there.

mod6: i've been architecting a performance framework

mod6: when i don't have someone watching my every move during the day, i usually can login and chat during the day at the office.

asciilifeform: i read hanbot's articles way back when and that was it.

asciilifeform: lel i still can't bring myself to read it

mircea_popescu: for a second there i thought alf moved on to reading bitcointalk for lack of fishfapping material.

asciilifeform: every time i dig into some pile of 'standardized' shit, i turn up 1,001 items like this

BingoBoingo: Aw, qntra appears DDoS'd now just when I am considering a piece on the increase in young Muricans with ischemic brain damage

mircea_popescu: i have nfi ; besides, python also installs in user directory neh ? doesn't have to be systemwide.

punkman: did I have admin permissions?

a111: Logged on 2016-05-12 17:23 shinohai: trinque: how do i insert a line break? <br> doesn't work it seems.

mircea_popescu: i am not so convinced the past 60 years made the us any less of a culturally impoverished zimbabwe. it's still not a nation, nor much of a country. it doesn't even make much of a hotel, used to be a sort of cote d'azur, now more like jamaica.

mircea_popescu: PeterL something like that. i wouldn't lend money in general, i'm not old and out of touch enough for that.

asciilifeform: 'For instance, Diffie quizzed an MIT colleague named Dan Edwards, who would join the NSA after graduating. "He was extremely unhelpful," Diffie later reported, "failing to reveal things which were certainly not classified and which I later saw in the bibliography of his thesis." And when a colleague at Mitre went to work at IDA, Diffie asked him if he could share anything about his work. After a tan

trinque: so I'll be digging for a minute

shinohai: Good, I didn't break it

trinque: yeah I did that

shinohai: and now I am getting 502 error as well :/

shinohai: trinque: how do i insert a line break? <br> doesn't work it seems. ☟︎

PeterL: so, I bought a house, I figured it is a good time to lock up a loan at 3.5% interest for 30 years

trinque: shinohai: deedbot's can link to that, as I'll have that autogenerated from its sauce

shinohai: Trying to get all that stuff mioved over to a site we control. I'm actually liking clwiki now, thanks for providing it!

trinque: could be that you expose some api - or SQL - my direction, or otherwise that I somehow sync (rsync?) tickets from you

trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-11#1465970 << serious wtf; I'll look into it ☝︎

mircea_popescu: as the romanian expression goes, prostu' parca nu-i destul daca nu e si fudul.

luke-jr: asciilifeform: things I'd like to see in it would be merged mining, additional inputs to the generation transaction, and maybe fix block withholding
