asciilifeform: i recall somewhere a discussion of 'voraphiles', where author sorted'em into 2 distinct subspecies, one which wants to be properly eaten & digested, but another, distinct type, which wants to live 'as jonah in whale', as a foetus-like parasite
mp_en_viaje: the one feature of years 400-1400 were precisely great sincerity of religious sentiment, doubled by great purity of practice. eschatological religion, of course, very scientific & all.
asciilifeform: physical economy hits wall, and yet some folx still want to 'financier', offer 'jam tomorrow' (despite no supply of jam even today, much less any reason to think will arrive tomorrow) , imho it aint happenstance that good % of konsoomer spare change in '90s ru went to 'mmm' & other pyramids, somehow lotsa folx eager to share in the delusion
asciilifeform: to tie into 'alexander & pirate' thrd, i'm hard pressed to see any diff b/w what this d00d did and what everyday biz at e.g. goldman sachs consists of
asciilifeform: recall the famous convo b/w alexander the macedonian & the pirate.
mp_en_viaje: speshul&protected scammer class, aka "nordic system"
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: my last pass through panama was esp. outrageous, they set up an impromptu baggage & pocket search queue ~on arrival from usa~ for no detectable reason
mp_en_viaje: not gonna do a fucking novel, i tell you that. i might put up the details re the bait & switch "hotel" / scam, but atm waiting to see what the police say and for report on list of various authorities that could be induced to inspect the shithole.
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-25#1919988 << nah, just bait & switch scamhotel / coupla managers. ☝︎
mp_en_viaje: yes well. tropical forest & biodiversidad. can prolly find a spider to fuck, if patient.
mp_en_viaje: all these faggotty fuckfaces in skinny suits, no doubt "software engineers with ai experience" spreading their awareness & concern on subjects and topics on reddit & shithut
mp_en_viaje: maybe just there to make sure & be proactive re any unseemly account updates you might make. ☝︎
asciilifeform: item is nao in a condition where i can safely unload it from head & return to wrapping up ch20.
asciilifeform: aaand pretty much 90% of mircea_popescu's 'uci' ( i.e. you can plant this wherever, and get artificial 'box' w/ specified os & proggies... )
mp_en_viaje: and, obviously, https://i2.wp.com/norwaytoday.info/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/tb5e0db0.jpg?resize=777%2C437&ssl=1
asciilifeform: aaand that was an item where i found jtag test points that could be soldered & operated

asciilifeform: intel & amd enthusiastically put in 9000 worthless piece o'shit instructions, but how about a 256-bit multiplier ? nope. evidently Only A Terrorist (tm)(r) would ever ask for such thing.

diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-23#1919625 - s.mg test is running proto-cuntoo (non-musltronic) so not latest, no; there was this http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-27#1875228 and http://btcbase.org/log/2019-03-09#1901069 ; as long as there is the CS dependency still on server, a move to static & musltronic only is also likely to be a lot of work. ☝︎☝︎☝︎
mircea_popescu: because the republic's a practice, not a "narrative" aka daydream. fundamentally, what distinguishes us from the github hipster / foss moron / entire collected pile of avortons looking for their abortion from "the bay area" & portland to eudemocracia and beyond is that we don't read on the first pass, BUT ON THE SEC
mircea_popescu: one somethong to do with trinque 's unhapiness with the cuntoo userbase ; the other something to do with wtf to do re v & portage/ebuilds.
mircea_popescu: if gotta-have-python anyway, why am i wasting spyked's time with hutch&hoot, might as well use python for scripting.
asciilifeform: ( 13kB executable, fwiw, uses no libc (no libs at all), and no linux syscalls beyond mmap & console i/o )
asciilifeform: sketched out the experience e.g. here & elsewhere ☝︎
asciilifeform: ch20 incidentally is 1 of the components for keccak. (after have all of keccak, we have full battlefield rsatron. THAT IS if folx actually bother to read & sign the chs! so far ~no one~ but asciilifeform signed any 2019 ch's... )
asciilifeform: not that i necessarily demand to understand what customer does with his box. but in this case it isn't w/out problem for piz & the other residents.
asciilifeform: ( as was, e.g., diana_coman's rk & qntra )
mircea_popescu: to me it seemed mind numbing, but to a buncha retired-early upper middleclassians... well... easy & cheap path out.
asciilifeform: iirc the infamous bob beck & co, largely work for phree even.
mircea_popescu: kinda like cockroaches, very resilient. would probably feed on urban garbage / each other's aborted foetuses in any case. god knows they already eat soylent & assorted dogfood machine-delivered.
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: sorta like a bayes for the femtards & assorted pantsuits that don't like systems of equations.
asciilifeform: and ended up with 'tor' & co.
asciilifeform: ftr asciilifeform is satisfied that the only final pill against http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-17#1918482 is 'gossip' net, approx. as pictured in mircea_popescu's piece & accomp. thrds. ☝︎
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
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: 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 actually scoured 'shithub' & etc. , found none
asciilifeform: in next vacation i'ma wrap it up & genesis.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: funnily enuff i did not even get to take 'graphics' at uni (it ended up choice b/w it and 'operating systems', went with the latter) but i did at one pt eat the classic hughes, foley & van dam b00k
asciilifeform: btw this figure is in errybody's kindergarten textbook, but is ~extremely~ overoptimistic for electrical machine, where if you have long conductor, it also has capacitance & inductance, if you want to vary voltage on opposite end of it, you have to let it discharge... )

mircea_popescu: as per the "males -- born to die trying ; females -- born to carefully & spawn" theory of biological gender difference, it even makes sense. in any case, the included prediction : i say there's not going to be a better (oral ; over the internet) gender test.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile the remnants, 0% fucking output, too busy dicking around with this fascinating lint & filth they found in their belly button. they'll bake you a pie, would you like pie baked out of their bellybutton lint maybe ?
asciilifeform: this way mircea_popescu & diana_coman dun need to rebuild boxes and suffer down times
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2014-11-16#925211 << 1st time he was gagged. iirc actually sued & won ☝︎
mircea_popescu: and odds are, once this new sovok is dead, people will stop remembering the insanely iiritating if entirely inconsequential idiocies of the office drones & bureaucrats
asciilifeform: in other lulz

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the snsa pair is (dulap & spare-dulap) are snsa boxen ☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: only smg box (pair, primary & spare) was sold to piz
asciilifeform: ( as i understand , boxes in question were dulap & smg ? )

mircea_popescu: (in similar news : https://www.doordash.com/ just "closed" a 600mn series g on a 12bn implied valuation. cuz a low margin business with no custom can totally be worth billions, just let usjew layers & accountants work it.)
mircea_popescu: consider shinohai's latest : protonmail & ubersmart ip : https://cleantalk.org/blacklists/104.244.77.173
a111: Logged on 2019-05-31 15:57 asciilifeform: they also have a thing where the captain can point to anyone, 'you!' , and then point to any piece of gear, from reactor to toilet, and demand an account of what are all of the parts, and how it works, in detail. and the pointed man must pass the exam. if fails, has no moar 'r&r' time , must study, until passes.

a111: Logged on 2018-10-22 22:37 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: unrelated to anyffing: i have a tentative thing that eats a http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-20#1864354 and gives trb option of replacing 'checkpoints' with it ( i.e. on boot, tests all already-stored blox against it, and if any blox in the tape are not yet present, then it requests & accepts them and only them, 1 at a time ). do we want this for field use ? (if so i can put on conveyor for cleanup)

diana_coman: you can feed it manually blocks if you have them & are in a hurry but otherwise I don't yet fully grasp your problem as such: is it stalled or is it just that you don't expect it to take longer than 1 week or what?
mircea_popescu: gotta put this shit on record before it "disappears", it's just too fucking lulzy stylistically : https://crji.org/?idT=88&idRec=5069 (source is this wanna-be respectable usg.blue character assassination project, made in the usual amerikanski fashion -- on the cheap by local orcs. very fashionable among the ro pantsuit crowd)
mircea_popescu: but exceptions should perhaps also be noted. meet say tommy mottola -- untalented if ambitious average moron. he tried to break into money & fame with his absent talent ; when that failed he went into the administrative side, which matured into his running sony's music publishing for 15 years. at first he did derpy moves like promoting diana ross ; but then the next decade he ~invented~ mariah carey much like those ru pedo
mircea_popescu: in other lulz : bubblegum pop was a studio & producer driven attempt at re-couperating the change pumped into the poor and the stupid. not music in any sense, much like youtube crap today ; but it was marketed to teens, and holy shit look through the charts -- whole thing reads like a "bumpkin discovered sugar" testament.
mircea_popescu: in relatively affluent, urban, educated communities such as 1970s fobourg st germain our revolution yielded masturbatory lulz liek say bruckner&finkielkraut's nouveau désordre amoureux & following ;
asciilifeform: (i.e. still loox readable on b&w , and nothing 'screamingly' garish imho )
mp_en_viaje: this is the glorybook of romanian history, "at some point in 1600, romanians suddenly and inexplicably stopped taking it up the ass, instead of 1ton of gold/year sent rape & pillage party to istanbul, got within 10 miles of city walls."
stjohn_piano_2: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-17#1914411 & http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-17#1914413 << thank you. ☝︎☝︎
asciilifeform subscribed for coupla yrs nao; seems to be the only 1 that worx in orcistans (as modem) at 0 extra cost. and overall 'cheap & angry'

mp_en_viaje: minimaxing works fine in engineering and d&d. it is not a workable strategy in energy exchange, be it in the form of boat-on-sea or in the form of picking-up-chick or in the form of find-jerb etc.
mp_en_viaje: eg, https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/5034-64th-St_Woodside_NY_11377_M30426-76388?view=qv vs https://www.indeed.com/rc/clk?jk=22d3d5270a545891&fccid=c1a7c6d77658a22d&vjs=3 ;

diana_coman: I guess part of his problem is being in the UK+cambridge area really - prices&salaries are so inflated that he probably needs a salt-mine-irl place just to make ends meat and that makes it then very hard to have any time/brain left to actually do the meaningful learning he still has to do
asciilifeform: 'convergent evolution' . y'know, like how 'new world' & 'old world' vulture, unrelated birds, but to naked eye exactly alike
mp_en_viaje: then lulz like https://radar.cedexis.com/1556296336/radar.html?customer-id=11326 and https://i2-zuvofetrjalsubyssxcwblzgemxbus.init.cedexis-radar.net/i2/1/11326/j1/20/115/1558044281/0/0/providers.json?imagesok=1&n=0&p=1&r=0&t=1

mp_en_viaje: nuts. it so happens it sounds exactly like what the "transparently clever & ironic" made-up name an xkcd-minded 2010s cleverist would come up with.

a111: Logged on 2018-06-18 15:36 asciilifeform: btw one pheature of lenin & co that gets vehehery little press these days , when folx like to point out 'he didn't overthrow , other factions did all the work' : lenin & co refused, out of principle, to participate in any 'temporary government' derpage at all.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, this "risk" happened once before, mp & friends (tho in all fairness friends & mp) invented party and in a few years took it to leading government. mp wanted no office, left.
asciilifeform cannot comment in moar detail : the care & feeding of trollparties is quite far out of asciilifeform's depth
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-08#1911824 << the 1 risk is that mp_en_viaje & co might actually end up in office an' consequently herding swine. rly, want to herd swine ? ☝︎
mp_en_viaje: whatever, you know, in the end everyone cu pizda ma-sii, the problems of others are the problems of others, the problem of the individual is adequate expression, lest he becomes an intellectual & starts "resisting through culture"
mp_en_viaje: "The <pre> header is the default. If you’re familiar with HTML you’ll know that whitespace is rendered “as is” by a <pre> element. The advantage for you is that if you use <pre> the whitespace you use will appear pretty much exactly how it is in the source, and what’s more GeSHi won’t have to add a whole lot of <br />’s and non-breaking spaces (&nbsp;) to your code to indent it.

asciilifeform: dunno why this took 20yrs from the famous 'embrace & extinguish' leaked memo, but there it is.
asciilifeform in 2010-12 'surely usg will muster king's horses and king's men' days , did not expect it to look like gavin, expected moar microshit-style 'embrace&extend', e.g. 'ibm bitcoin client' or sumsuch
mp_en_viaje: now, shockingly, it's sweetened & flavoured hydrogenated oils
