mp_en_viaje: w it with the threads of connectivity, because you're not fit to be a citizen of the 1950s when they put the man on the moon and i belong, i firmly and substantially belong in the 2000s, when we have undersea cables" ?

mp_en_viaje: "well, it's not the right moon phase" may be cheaper than "cuz i can't fucking get it up holy shit, how much is enough!"

asciilifeform: phunphakt, carrier of sov. prototype of manned moon vehicle -- about 1.5x size of 'apollo' -- exploded on pad. twice (Officially.) and Officially 'for no reason' ☟︎

mircea_popescu: you know ? double standard to the moon, "i'm going to be cheeky towards the sovereign and submissive towards the pretender", utterly ass-backwards worldview.

asciilifeform: 'if rocket puts out less thrust than it weights, it dun go up' 'ok, this is true of my toy chopper also' 'idjit, i was speaking only of my moon lander, plebe'

asciilifeform: lobbes: i will not go as far as to say 'hardware shop? poppycock' but it is roughly similar to idea of setting one up on the moon

asciilifeform: PeterL: fughet even the logic gates. where's the proggy that'll draw e.g. http://www.loper-os.org/?p=2875#selection-1129.0-1343.1 using strictly spec of the relative sizes of the items, and put the captions where they belong ? without WHOLE DAY of hand-fidgeting the coords to only then find that www browser turns it into soup when the moon is in the wrong phase.

asciilifeform: i.e. if you run somehow 1 per sec, will eat a coupla dozen moon-size asteroids prior to getting misfire..

asciilifeform: lots and lotsa grade-a folx , literally outta the mud, and straight into 'take country from wooden plough to thermonuke and moon buggy'

mircea_popescu: somehow the stories fat frumos don't seem to include marriage by fruit of his labours "on the field". because you can't spank your own monkey into a wife anymore than you can douchebag your way into #trilema or pull yourself to moon by britches.

BingoBoingo: And the moon going into and out of totality isn't the shocker that the sun is. At least not when artificial lighting is involved.

mircea_popescu: replace sputnik for moon landing, same result.

mircea_popescu: by same token, moon landing is not american, american is moon landing. a moon landing's just like a moon landing is, your lookup table consists of "who did that ?" not of "what'd this doing indicate". without preloaded history, you wouldn't know.

asciilifeform: asciilifeform finds it fascinating that even satellites, moon buggies, etc. naodays dun have a 'snapshot state of iron if crash'

diana_coman: other than that the "reason" I can see is that otherwise in principle you need an additional check each time you call gcd (i.e. to make sure you don't step even if once in a blue moon) on this particular rake

a111: Logged on 2017-04-09 22:03 asciilifeform: most of the heavy lifting was done by a dozen or so people, however. (david moon, richard greenblatt, tom knight, buncha smaller ones )

mircea_popescu: it works as shockingly fine predictor. hospital that didn't work had emergency room vitals "something3000", evidently run on java. hospital that did work had same item philips, evidently built for moon missions.

a111: Logged on 2018-11-28 18:14 asciilifeform: phf: imho the ultimate bolix caper would be to rack a coupla working clones at pizarro & rent'em out. but admittedly this is , presently, nearly as far as the moon

BingoBoingo: I'd take banksy a lot more seriously if he caught the bad side of the feds, won on appeal, touched the republic, then decided he could stack his own chairs just fine as he proceeded on his moon mission ☟︎

asciilifeform: phf: i read'em, intensely hand-sewn thing that works when phase of moon is just-so..

asciilifeform: for roughly same purpose ( once in blue moon can pull it out and pretend the year is 1988 )

mircea_popescu: but in other news, two moon junction epic film. imagine, two years later, i go to read http://trilema.com/2016/two-moon-junction/#selection-49.33-53.89 see wtf i said, i discover i did EXACTLY same thing!

mircea_popescu: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_moon_prophecy << for the lulz files.

mircea_popescu: "day and nigth power output of solar panel throughout the year is here : ; observe the full moon on y and the blood moon on z" and so fucking on.

asciilifeform: likely, someone, somewhere, still imagines that 'btc will to the moon'(tm) without anybody actually ~doing anything~. but asciilifeform does not read reddit, so cannot say in detail re this pov.

mircea_popescu: men. that's why the species has males, so they attempt to raise cichlids, rear children, fire turret pistols, go to the moon...

mircea_popescu: someone should make Moon Lunaris, be done with esltardation altogether.

mircea_popescu: and this is why i say things like http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-10#1822118 all crumble before it because the alternative is dust at rest on the surface of the moon. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: might as well offer moon fiddles.

mircea_popescu: in any case i find the web 2.0 ish approach intellectually repugnant ; if i'm to explain why one "feels his arms pulled" when spinning under the moon, perhaps i'll be next held to explain why the same one doesn't "feel" the normal pressure in his bladder, or the heliocentric nature of the solar system in his horse's clavicle. let einstein, ziggler, marx, godin and friends answer this nonsense ; anil dash stands ready to angri

mircea_popescu: if you ask "well, am i extending something or writing de novo", you're participating. if you're doing anything else, you're wanking about ; an activity entirely undistinguishable from chatting up the starbucks waitress or braying under the full moon.

asciilifeform: the same folx will do mountain of work to, e.g., build 'rust' compiler or other heathen nonsense. but unsurprisingly won't lift a finger to look through terrorist telescope and , heavens forbid, see an extra moon where mother church proclaimed, Officially, there be none

a111: Logged on 2016-09-17 16:40 asciilifeform: and the hardware ~is~ shit. boot up one of these (if you can actually get it to boot.) and say hello to 1 fps graphics, disks without dma (you don't know what these feel like until trying personally), nic that works when the moon is full strictly, etc.

mircea_popescu: so what's eris moon come from ?

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-09#1794956 << "One day a student came to Moon and said: "I understand how to make a better garbage collector. We must keep a reference count of the pointers to each cons." Moon patiently told the student the following story: "One day a student came to Moon and said: ‘I understand how to make a better garbage collector..." ☝︎

asciilifeform: if it e.g. sends random page of ram as a coded dns packet every full moon, it will do this regardless of whether anyone photographed it, lol

amberglint: asciilifeform: do you know what this language is? http://users.rcn.com/david-moon/MMD/MMD.lunar looks like Moon's own invention

asciilifeform: 'Comments and criticisms to dave underscore moon atsign alum dot mit dot edu. ' << anybody tried ?

asciilifeform: funnily enuff a Dave Moon ran for election to some city dogcatcher post , not far from where i live. but on examination seems to be different d00d.

fromloper: this document refers to Dave Moon's files several times; I've tried to find any public presence of Moon on the net, maybe a mail address - found nothing

mircea_popescu: man who ends up believing "that antipope callixtus totally has the authority to call a crusade because I SAW MOON ECLIPSE" is not substantially different from the failure mode of ideologically unsupported djb, ending up with http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-29#1634147 just as well as the celebrated http://btcbase.org/log/2015-03-06#1043852 -- what are these but hughs, ending up fucked in the ass in eastern lands by eastern orcs ☝︎☝︎

mircea_popescu: brother of sitting king of france, went on crusade BECAUSE SAW MOON ECLIPSE.

mircea_popescu: massmarketization visible from moon, by specific scar tissue around item

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: if you wanted to do this for real, vs. gabriel_laddelization, cost is roughly comparable to a moon flight.

mircea_popescu: in a sense taking the garbage pouring out of pantsuit mouth as such and trying to engage it on merits is not unlike the fool of old, looking at the hand that pointed at the moon.

mircea_popescu: sorry to disappoint everyone ; but i've sold all my bitcoin and am 100% bticino hodler nao. this is the right fork guyse as it will totally win the letter ordering debate and is supported by broad letter consensus. see you all @moon soon.

mircea_popescu: a deal can be anything. a stupid deal, or a deal of no economic value or relevancy, such as me offering for sale my palace on the moon, with the footnote that as far as i know there's no palaces on the moon and if there were i don't know of owning any is one thing. fraud begins later on.

mircea_popescu: whole of usg has like a developer and a half to carry the whole load of endless "agencies", mastercard sees five minutes of developer every full moon.

diana_coman: asciilifeform, part of trouble is that atm on such coordinates it's unclear if moon is far enough as it is

mircea_popescu: then the whole stack came tumbling down ; the chair that collapsed the moon unit.

mircea_popescu: (reasons being mostly moon driving tides which slow down earth, and imperfect free movement due to friction in charged plasma field.)

asciilifeform: the apotheosis of neznaika series was 'neznaika on the moon', which 'for adults' described moar or less exactly 1990s ruprivatizationlulz

mircea_popescu: imagine there's a bunch of bugs spawned over an acre. to perpetuate, they must mate. how shall they encounter each other ? "wut if we used this waste light and have them all seek it ?" said engineer in charge of moth one day ? "they'll necessarily converge before they reach the moon".

asciilifeform: deterministic machine ( i.e. where it is not acceptable for output to vary with phase of the moon and which elvis track 'voice of america' is playing ) entails ints.

mircea_popescu: you can't train into being moon ; and if you are moon you can train while playing civ or golden axe. i know i did.

mircea_popescu: right. which is why in my mind it's represented as a sort of you know, moon. "you can't reboot the machine without knowing what it's doing"

mircea_popescu: o and what a nice header day it is, too. or should i say moon.

BingoBoingo: If we have learned anything from the Roger Ver-ified tribe, it is that there is a portion of the idiocy which will stare at the sun, for however long it takes the moon to transit. From this the nags and bags get their power. All it takes is one stuple to set all the nags off.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-08#1695378 << dude imagines he's doing the batshit insane camp any favours by publishing more batshit insane ? srsly, "moon prison" ? ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2017-08-06 17:38 mircea_popescu: there's an absolute limit turkey dollars put on "tower to the moon" efforts : if you have at most 100 turkeys you can commit, printing further pictures of a turkey on paper will not help you in your effort to build the "cart driven by 101 turkeys". because the 101th physically does not exist.

mircea_popescu: can't have a faux media piece without "on the day of the moon landing i was eating an apple pie" '''human''' bullshit.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: par of ye olde tradition where crapple stock is 'worth' the moon etc, neh

mircea_popescu: but yes, the grand plan for june was "bitcoin prices drop while ethereum to the moon". it worked as well as the "liberation" of some town of a name i meanwhile forgot it was so long.

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: mandatory at nsa << Per "Reality Winner Mc Moon Unit"'s orders

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-06#1666449 << linked more or less wholly for that detail. i gotta wonder, how many of these 'moon units' walking around nao ☝︎

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the problem is this : you're an intelligent fellow that has interesting things to say, sometimes. some other times, however, you metamorphosize into dumbalf. i have no idea if it's the phases of the moon or what you ate that day or what, but the change is palpable.
