asciilifeform: ( and mircea_popescu , seems to like his bmw )
a111: Logged on 2018-12-20 00:44 mircea_popescu: ~if~ those people were smart enough to build the item you describe, the ~reasonable expectation~ is they'd have been smart enough to behave ~muchly variant~ from the ~actual way they behaved~ in fields much easier to observe.
a111: Logged on 2018-12-19 19:31 mircea_popescu: phf i expect the accumulated value of the whole pile of "secrets" is about 0. and i further expect the entire value of the whole bolix stack neatly approximates the value of my stock of pogos.

a111: Logged on 2014-09-27 17:27 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: notice that rms will not speak of lisp to this day. the demise of lmi cut him off from the genuine machines (there was no possibility of baking one by his lonesome, or with his band of ragged dervishes, any more than they could launch a mars mission)
a111: Logged on 2016-02-29 03:00 asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: you are still thinking of rms as a self-aware creature, having a thought process
asciilifeform: iirc mircea_popescu had a piece where 'empty people make noises to fill the void in their skulls' or how did it go
asciilifeform: iirc later , someone else among us ( possibly mircea_popescu ) also wrote, and d00d finally replied with ~'let'em eat cake'
a111: Logged on 2015-04-02 01:16 mircea_popescu: "/home/stas/bitcoin-v0_5_3_1/ourlibs/include/boost/asio/detail/impl/socket_ops.ipp:2900: warning: Using 'getaddrinfo' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i suspect it was a veiled laugh-to-the-bank
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: doubt that it has anyffin to do with the reluctance to use it ~at all~ displayed by some pubkey-as-arsenicum-amulet folx
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: to the extent anons can even speak... i dun recall shitoshit ~signing~ anyffing post-'09
asciilifeform: btw didja know, mircea_popescu , that yarvin has an rsatron in there ? possibly will be remembered as the only rsatron gnarlier/buggier than kochs's, or even microshit's
a111: Logged on 2019-01-15 22:27 mircea_popescu: how ~the fuck~ is "nock" gonna identify-and-replace-with-jets when ginko417 is manifestly incapable of the very same task ? (or rather, for they psychologically inclined : WHY is it ginko417 imagines dealing with a jet is "nock"'s job ?)
a111: Logged on 2019-01-15 22:09 mircea_popescu: but tbh, the "stochastic convergence test" seems to me worth A LOT more than any bs "ent" ultimately meaningless "squares of pi" bs.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-15 22:10 mircea_popescu: (ie, you can construct an infinity of rng strings which'll make a given sct "falsely" converge)
a111: Logged on 2019-01-15 22:07 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-15#1887308 << this is very elegant, earlier statement of the whole "optic crypto machine" thingee
a111: Logged on 2019-01-15 22:13 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-15#1887318 << keks. good you got out while it was still worth money.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-15 17:36 asciilifeform: the output is n1 * n2 * ... n_n , cuz you represented'em as ~probabilities~
a111: Logged on 2019-01-15 15:37 mircea_popescu: a) there's nothing wrong with specialisation (and especially if you figure out how to expand the ram -- which a stock of these gives you incentive to do, ie, specialisation drives competence) ;
asciilifeform: the output is n1 * n2 * ... n_n , cuz you represented'em as ~probabilities~ ☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as i understand , the guzman thing was even lulzier, d00d was hired to run the ~crypto~
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'm anticipating the whiners where 'you ~said~ you sell uncensored host, but they pulled my godaddy dns omfg!11' item
asciilifeform: oh hm where was that zombie fdr poster mircea_popescu dug up coupla yrs ago
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Will do.
asciilifeform: the key end of the hose is the 1 mircea_popescu mentioned.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> iirc mod6 has expressed a desire to fly the next crate. if he still wants, can haz; otherwise asciilifeform will fly it. << Given the ben_vulpes courier run I would like mod6's first trip here to be lower stakes. Couriering is a skill.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: absolutely, the time to start beating the drums is nao.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: correct
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's why i bought'em
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: a rk + disk is about 100bux ea. << There's also a 4GB RAM model which would push the unit price up to ~150 each
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: we did have some headache with the ssd, recall. the new models are in place ( iirc errrybody but mod6 has been swapped ) and seem to run cool to the touch, per BingoBoingo's observations
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is correct, without iron, no moneys
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: a rk + disk is about 100bux ea.
asciilifeform: guten morgen mircea_popescu hanbot et al
a111: Logged on 2019-01-14 01:17 mircea_popescu: doesn't that look suspicious.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: incidentally asciilifeform nao has the necessary optics that for e.g. 'FG2' and fyootoor products, we can include signed board photos.
asciilifeform: incidentally manifest actually includes 2 FG units ( pizarro-owned ) . i had to fly'em back in april , if anyone recalls, cuz of ben_vulpes's misadventure where they were pawed by orcs for whole night
asciilifeform: ( i suppose technically this is 4th expedition -- BingoBoingo orig pioneer, and then ben_vulpes . but asciilifeform's 2nd. )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: acceptable for nao , but i'm inclined to make 2nd expedition sooner rather than later.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i do. i actually bit my elbows after 1st expedition, that i did not include the necessary gear for this in the 1st crate.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: box runs asciilifeform's kernel as of 9hr ago.
asciilifeform: i recall there was a piece where mircea_popescu threw out a raid card
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what do you typically do with yours ? throw'em out after 1 peculiar reset ? 2 ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: how wouldja distinguish via 'flow of air from rack' 2 cpus at 50c ea. vs 1 at 0 and 1 at 100.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that'd be for ambient air. if yer ambient atmosphere is 70c, this is called 'room on fire'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'is 3 tonne auto here or not' is very diff problem from 'what temperature is the red hot nail inside this 30kg crate'
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i ~also~ find it peculiar your dc wouldn't have alerted you in case of thermal trip. because in general they have sensors. << There was a ground fault alarm tripped in the datacenterś fire supression system over the weekend, but the time doesn's line up with the beginning of this reset crisis.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if a dc were able to warn you re overheating cpu, they had root on yer box.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: never had a clogged fan on your watch ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: keep in mind this was a ben_vulpes-baked box, i never saw inside of it ( dulap-III, dulap-spare, s-mg, s-mg-spare -- i cleaned with own hands )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 3 unsanctioned, 1 planned reset
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: jury's still out
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: disks
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 100% of the x86 iron in the cage is 2009-11 vintage.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i can't disagree, and am inclined to move it to cold spare when we get another crate in.
