mircea_popescu: o btw, did i ever tell you how i illustrated the concept of current as a thing to bright young minds ?
mircea_popescu: get a steppable transformer. wrap packing tin foil around dildo, insert. set transformer to low voltage, short over dildo-clit.
mircea_popescu: the burn being the same in both cases, shows that current is current.
mircea_popescu: so you only use it on feminist chicklets that think the cunt is an ideal material.
mircea_popescu: anyway. experimentally it's pretty close, and when coupled with the subjectivistor inside the subject's skull it works fine.

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, temporal lobe is where most of the electical dysfunctions happen in most forms of epilepsy.

BingoBoingo: Accidently yourself enough seizures, they'll start coming on their own.

xmj: fluffypony: How may I help you on this bright Wednesday ;)
fluffypony: xmj: so oaes_lib uses ftime() like a retard, and we don't have spare contributors to rewrite the two places its used to rather use gettimeofday - is there anything particularly wrong with using -lcompat for the moment till we can see to that?
fluffypony: also the original oaes_lib author seems to eschew modernising it, so we may dump it completely at some stage rather than bother
xmj: hrm, i'm not a c dev
xmj: if you're interested in having that question answered from a BSD perspective, you could try #bsdports on efnet
xmj: there's plenty of people who could answer it
xmj: that's not AES-Ni is it?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: Oh, apparently the brain electricity stuff for sleep et al is being commercialized << well of course, everything's being commercialised, from cow piss (redbull) to an app to prove you're rich. dun really much matter if it works, as long as someone somewhere thought of it, it's available to buy.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: re: 100hz - i do lean towards the soviet hypothesis that at least a third of the sleep cycle is a vestigial waste of time. <<< why ?
xmj: BingoBoingo: brain electricity sleep stuff is prone to commercial failure, see Zeo.
mircea_popescu: to me all this "let's improve sleep" stuff reads a lot like "this cnc control code would be a lot better if we took out all sleep() references"
xmj: BingoBoingo: you can *technically* exist on 2h of pure REM sleep a day.
mircea_popescu: The20YearIRCloud: So shock therapy is old? << just about contemporaneous with electricity itself.
xmj: I know people who have done so for long(er) stretches of times
xmj: fluffypony: I got confused. aren't AES routines implemented by libcrypto?
fluffypony: xmj: afair this is used in the PoW, so it uses openaes for speed
mircea_popescu: fluffypony afaik lcompat just does a gettimeofday clal anyway
xmj: fluffypony: thing being, iff it uses AES AND iff AES needs to be fast, you'll want to look into crypto(4) and aesni(4)
fluffypony: but going to actually rip this out and rewrite it to use gettimeofday on bsd
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't expect any problems. in fact it's probably better reviewed code than w/e it's been replaced with anyway.
xmj still waits for OpenSSL to be replaced with LibreSSL on FreeBSD
mircea_popescu: other than proper cryptography for all foss, as discussed coupla days re gentoo overlays etc, i would fucking love for all lines of code to come with a counter.

mircea_popescu: but even if it were, that's still not enough for what you're arguing.

mircea_popescu: the heart is a well designed pump, that works very well in its own engineering envelope.
mircea_popescu: people who use it outside of that envelope, such as for instance habitual stimulant abusers, stock brokers and other such "high stress" occupations usually die of heart failure.
mircea_popescu: the reason for this is that the heart can't do too many regime change cycles a day
mircea_popescu: now, having a period of time where it can relax and clean up may be exactly what it needs. even if this is enforced by cnc paralysis rather than another venue

mircea_popescu: i read the hypothesis here as "stages 1 and 2 can be safely removed"

jurov: obv the joke itself wasn't broadcast
ben_vulpes: thestringpuller: it's been years and i was never any good :P
jurov: re:smart pill - i think there may yet be surprising discoveries
jurov: such as, wide occurrence of latent chlamydia
jurov: that bugger tends to lurk in fat tissue where it is untreatable by antibiotics and slowly releases neurotoxins
jurov: result? unexplicable pain and lowered mental performance
jurov: why it isn't object of research till recently? doctors were taught it's simple treatable veneral disease
jurov: ans sexual diseases research is uncool
jurov: how do i know? i was diagnosed ch. pneumoniae (lung one, not the sexual one)
jurov: and not in lungs, but on skin
jurov: and every time i exercise and get skinner, i get sick
jurov: tl;dr: there is surprising health stuff we hide from ourselves because of our own culture
rithm: i'm in good health, i've never broken a bone or had any type of major surgery
rithm: i love menthol cigarettes too
ben_vulpes: i too support more sex disease research

HeySteve: hello, was wondering if a prepared NDA exists which can be cryptographically signed?
HeySteve: great, even better if you have a link
thestringpuller: re: health. pharma corps suppress a lot of research to increase profits it seems.
The20YearIRCloud: HeySteve: i'm pretty sure they can, since they've talked alot about contracting via blockchain
The20YearIRCloud: I'll have to dig it up, but there's a few altcoin or places that say they can sign contracts via blockchain
ben_vulpes: HeySteve: i mean i bought mine, and gpg sign it.
HeySteve: yeah someone linked me to a good generic one, will use that with gpg sigs
ben_vulpes: strip the text out, hard wrap it at 80 chars, gpg sign it
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: what would it take << beautiful question. let's say we find that chetty has, e.g., more efficient mitochondriae, that eat and shit less for given level of activity. and therefore require less cleanup. then we say 'can't fix this with aftermarket patch.' << I dunno mitochondral replacement might be an interesting experiment
BingoBoingo: If mitochondria are some separate symiote we just depend on, there may be a way do a replacement

The20YearIRCloud: I'd hope that driving rates below zero and seeing little inflation would be more of a sign to keneysian economists that believe that inflation is solely driven by interest rates
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: It is unfortunately not possible to release HW-1 with an open firmware << lol
mircea_popescu: artifexd: My "copper rounds" just showed up. They *are* nice. << which are these ?
mircea_popescu: jurov: obv the joke itself wasn't broadcast << yeah i think you can say that. what was it, 70s ?
artifexd: The coins that look all circuit board-y
mircea_popescu: jurov: tl;dr: there is surprising health stuff we hide from ourselves because of our own culture << interesting, the chlamyda story.
mircea_popescu: The20YearIRCloud: I'd hope that driving rates below zero and seeing little inflation would be more of a sign to keneysian economists that believe that inflation is solely driven by interest rates << there's no possible significance to keynesians anymore. they're a cult by now, like the collodial silver derps.
mircea_popescu: "o no but it relaly helps, we've just not found out what yet"
mircea_popescu: omg lok at that, kakobrekla is still on account #4. what happened there, their mods got thrown in jail or something ?
mircea_popescu: "Why not addressing one of the several elephants in the room? Why is 90% of their revenue from recruiting new investonomers? Why is the exchange owner taking such a huge role in "educating" his "investors"? Why is every single company co-owned by the exchange owner?"
mircea_popescu: duh. because bitcoin people are stupid, in both cases. why else ?
