mircea_popescu: this "monogamous relationship living in block of flats with 50 sqft kitchen" thing is nonsense in ways the victims don't even grasp.

a111: Logged on 2016-09-15 23:59 mircea_popescu: anyway ; i will propose that the large kitchen is a fundamental part in the happiness and sane social insertion of young women ; that even poor places in orcland implement it as more essential sociocultural component than, eg, men's mechanicizing garage ; that all effort should be directed at having one above all else.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform gotta start having the young'uns over to learn how to cook and things.
mircea_popescu: and the reason for this being, evidently, that they didn't get kitchen-socialized in due time.
phf: i used to think hanging out in the kitchen is exclusively su thing (i know i know), but iranians do the same thing. and the pattern is exactly the same, everyone's drinking tea, and then somebody will just break out a skillet and make omelette or whatever, "of course for everyone in the room"
phf: current place has a decent sized kitchen, it's one of those arrangements where kitchen is part of living room, but it's almost comical how badly it's designed. nobody who's participated in the design of that kitchen has ever cooked anything in their entire lives.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> (now, as to ~why~ in the latter case, i do not know) << Usually because people now "finish" basements in new construction placing a toilet below sewer line. Grinder is so turds can be pumped up to sewer line.

mircea_popescu: in other lulz, if one googles for argentina's writer's union, the only result is BOXING writers union. that's it.
mircea_popescu: they got borges, and that's good enough. what if he's president for life of an item that doesn't exist.
mircea_popescu: "President of the Argentine Society of Writers and as Professor of English and American Literature at the Argentine Association of English Culture"
mircea_popescu: the entire western canon, 1966-2016, is a fabrication. the entire fucking thing. not "global warming" or "smoking kills" or "rape on campuses" or "barack obama, scholar" or whatnot other pinpoint nonsensical "movements". not even "environmentalism" or "feminism" or you know, "war on" this or that.
mircea_popescu: condolezza rice was literate, carly fiorina was an exemplary woman, blablabla in the exact same sense elliot rodgers was a supreme gentleman "descended of aristocracy".

jhvh1: shinohai: The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: shinohai i can't help but notice the fascination with this mysterios ceo figure in the usg.pinoy dept.
mircea_popescu: i suppose it's supposed to be "funny" ; the only problem being that cancerous fags can't possibly be funny. not no matter how hard they try ; not just because they try too hard.
BingoBoingo: But funny things can happen to them. Like when the token trophy Muslim Hillary advisor got cucked by her man's sexts to all the twitter pr0n spammers.

shinohai curses eulora for consuming his entire day yesterday
mod6: it's great isn't it?
mircea_popescu: shinohai you know once you get half decent at the metagame you don't have to baby it. i spend about 10-20 minutes a day changing bot diapers is all.
mircea_popescu: but of course to get there gotta put some study in to climb teh curve.
mircea_popescu: 443 + 44 flotsam, 120+6 spicy moss ; 112 + 142 boulders, bout a hundred wpl, cr, some dcs, wwb etc. since ~this time yest.
shinohai: danielpbarron would be proud of me going all the way back and dragging table with loot in penance
mircea_popescu: which incidentally... it really makes me chuckle at the predicament of "AAA" studios. so first, they make a broken game (broken here defined as, not-neutral state-evolution-graph) ; because their game is broken, they have to forbid bots - not just in form, but in practice. then if they don't manage to forbid them too efficiently they die everquest/diablo 3 style, inflation. but if they do manage to forbid them, they die like
mircea_popescu: wow / eve / etc : people go through the early game, master it, then can't move on to the logical next phase so they just quit. so now AAA studio is forced to salvage broken game that broke their playerbase through... oh shit, incentives. ie, inflation, ie, "we'll give you free level 60 characters". because guess what, the inflation was actually better than death, and their success at doing what they wanted to do (prevent bots
mircea_popescu: !), inasmuch as they wanted to something stupid, turns out to be contrary to what they... ~actually~ wanted to do.
mircea_popescu: yet somehow this inept cycle of self-effacement does NOT enlighten their stupid heads that yo! what we thought was the problem couldn't have possibly been the problem, seeing how the better we fix it, the worse things get! and then we have to circumvolutedly revert the very fix!
mircea_popescu: not to mention that what we thought is the goal can't possibly be the goal! so how about we stop with the shit and do things right.
mircea_popescu: but oh, no, none of that. thousands of derps all "know", in the sense of being wrong in the same way ; and borges is President of the Argentine Society of Writers.
diana_coman: shinohai> danielpbarron would be proud of me going all the way back and dragging table with loot in penance <- wait, did you do it *manually*?
shinohai: yeah because i forgot the proper way the first time :/
mircea_popescu: btw shinohai you wanna dig up a buncha ords for me ? or did you level building already ?
shinohai: i go *all the way back* and thankfully loot is still floating in the air
shinohai: yeah mircea_popescu when i get client fired up we'll chat
mircea_popescu: shinohai also, you got that bridge bot going right ? iirc that was a mn ecu for you ?
shinohai: not yet, it is too crude to run

ben_vulpes: this is a dark and unfamiliar corner of linux to me
mircea_popescu: well, gdb should let you see it. the prefix there is the address
mircea_popescu: generally you should be able to open /proc/pid/mem as a normal unix file.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i'd have to restart the process to get data out of valgrind, right?
ben_vulpes: well compiled in, i still hafta restart the process
ben_vulpes: curious to see what's in there while it's live.
trinque: ben_vulpes: go back in time and compile in the instrumenter before this happened!
ben_vulpes: yaok i'll accept that the engine room needs a new dial.
mircea_popescu: in the sad story of exactly this, the first time i ran new eulora client, it crashed. i've bee nrunning it in gdb ever since, has not crashed since. 5 weeks!
mircea_popescu: i'll give up and run it plain one day, at which point...
ben_vulpes: memory use aside, is the 100% cpu use symptomatic of blackholing, asciilifeform ?
ben_vulpes: right, k. and when it's verifying a block, does it typically go entirely unresponsive to rpc commands?
ben_vulpes: this *should* be a transient affair though wtf
ben_vulpes: ya well that is categorically not the case for this node.
ben_vulpes: until ~last night the thing was tracking the chain tip like a bloodhound.
ben_vulpes: oh that's lulzeriffic, the processblock log lines don't get timestamped?
ben_vulpes: log is 72619592 lines long, last accepted block was at 72529974

mircea_popescu: i think it shall be called a watcharium from now on. wtf "harem" bs.
mod6: you can't fuck 100% of the time. there's some division there. like 70% watch, 30% fuck.
mod6: hey, some division, some multipication.

mircea_popescu: ACTION just found out that phillips and torx heads respectively aren't mere "let's arbitrarily change standards to try and extract spurious rents via alleged intellectual property" ; but in fact have proper reasons to exist. a) phillips head is self-centering ; which is to say driver does not slip out of screw being driven. this was major advantage in early automotive work. torx does not cam out ; which was major advantage in
pete_dushenski: 'I was dead-set on finding a house with a garbage disposal, or "garburator" as our sorry ("Sorry!") neighbors to the North call them,' << l0l! love the souble dorry. also, i've never lived in a house or condo with a garburator and may never.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: is "garburator" supposed to be "garbage carburator" ? because that may be the lamest corporate attempt at humour to date.
pete_dushenski: 'but eventually relented and traded the garburator for a hood over the stove,' << current place... doesn't have range hood. smoky ? smelly ? open the windows and patio doors and get a cross-breeze going

phf: nah, professional, i have a license from elsewhere, that i'm .. evaluating
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: i always thought 'garburator' was more of a garbage-purolator : a machine for mailing garbage as far away as possible
phf: a professional single os/cpu version is $1300
mircea_popescu: oh, so you mean enough to pay for a dedicated server running lamp for a whole year ?
phf: there was this idea in the naggum emails that all the problems go away once you stop being cheap and pay for a real lisp. maybe that was the case in 2001 when he wrote it, but in practice it turns out to not be so
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dun see anyone here (other than me, but w/e) ever spend time debugging apache etc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform based on exactly this type of interaction with exactly this type of fellow, back then.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform iirc you deployed the only thing known on python which worked ; and serve via apache ?
phf: asciilifeform: well, fwiw i used sbcl for years and was running in increasingly larger number of problems. just small annoyances. when i tried interacting with sbcl "community" it turned out to be the usual suspects, google employees, gender pronounced. i have the same antipathy to sbcl as you to llvm
trinque: sbcl has been taken over from the original guy
mircea_popescu: not to necessarily discourage the eager from using lisp or anything else. by all means. but certainly to discourage an unrealistic view of performance etc.
phf: sbcl last time i checked was entirely developed by google
trinque: one of them at least is a complete idiot who told me in #sbcl that gpg signing was pointless because "somebody could just pay me to sign something malicious"
mircea_popescu: this is how they think, you know ? and while not conscious, because celenterates, nevertheless effectual. because a large collection of betas will naturally fall on solutions to the problems of betas.
phf: anyway, first version of btcbase was written in python, and ran for a year as a proxy to znc with a synchronizer to kako. basically exactly what Framedragger has right now
phf: i'm pretty sure i've not had to touch it once
mircea_popescu: i only have to go in there when someone "upgrades" something.
phf: but the rewrite happened for two reasons, one is that i wanted to do interesting analysis on entire corpus (which is something python will strugle with) and that tmsr canon called for technology ownership. cmucl seems like a reasonable stack to own, considering that it's abandonware. fwiw it benchmarks faster than either sbcl (by fraction) or lispworks (by a huge margin, wtf now) on doing bit twiddling like the search that we do
mircea_popescu: you know, 5yo me came home one day, asked mom if "fried cow is good to eat".
mircea_popescu: because 5yo me had observed some cows, and figured... what the hell!
phf: i've used cmucl in the past, like 10 years ago, and still have most of my lisp code for it/in it. than i switched to ccl and deployed few things commercially with it. the only lisp i've never explicitly worked with except toying around is sbcl
trinque: nameless bastards, afraid of signing their works.
phf: that's it, i'm retiring. to elba
phf: from now on i'm working on mp-wp, full time, a shell of a man. you can point newcomers at an old shambling figure, "that's phf. he's tending our flower bed"
trinque: phf: offer stands for me to be your court jew of sbcl-ing
mircea_popescu: anyway, more productively : an actually working lisp environment isn't a bad idea ; but premature today imo.
mircea_popescu: the way to owning technologies is ; by picking technologies to own that are small enough on the way there. much like the way to eat a whale is by eating earthworms while frogsized.
mircea_popescu: this method seems wasteful ; from experience it actually delivers. the more direct, intuitive approach not only always fails, but predictably so, which is why it's such a great ally of statu quo.
phf: i probably wrote most code for tbr/shiva, and it was an exercise in rewriting common lisp from scratch
mircea_popescu: "most lisps today are buggy half working implementations" or how did the quote go.
mircea_popescu: ok, this is almost as fun to watch as girls doing butt lifts.
trinque: best lisp compiler is in the hands of imbeciles, is wat.

phf: fuck it, i'm going to port it to sbcl
phf: well, cmucl version was very cmucl specific, when i ported it to lispworks i made it portable, but i'm sure there are some small things left
mircea_popescu: some of the weirdest shit there. including somebody who thought using a common glass salad bowl as a receiver is a good idea, somehow ; lotta casual "your cunt's bare, why not be naked" stuff, and etc
mircea_popescu: anyway. hard to tell from a pic, there's considerable variance in abdominal swelling.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, the retiarius' weapons may well make a comeback. drone should be able to drop weighted net on, say, schoolgirl, neh ?
pete_dushenski: 'Don’t gamble or use drugs' ? how goddam lame is that.
mod6: tmsr even has a cia factbook
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski most people who go to "prison" end up in low and mid security joints.
mircea_popescu: not to mention people who don't ain't reading fucking medium.
pete_dushenski: ~no one who's going anywhere, even prison, reads medium
mircea_popescu: anyway. "don't gamble" is solid advice. gamble works in prison exactly like outside - as taxation. unless you're running the joint, gambling is just another way of looking for a boyfriend.
mircea_popescu: in practical terms, if you'll be going to prison for limp dick shit, your best move is to have bitcoin and a wot. the personnel is poorly paid, greatly infiltrated by gold diggers who correctly intuit this is their easiest way to endear themselves to the sort of people who can touch real money, however briefly, and generally very supportive. for as long as you got leverage outside you'll be fine.
mircea_popescu: just as long as you make sure that a) usg can't get at your wealth and b) you left a network behind you're liable to find the prison term more pleasant than life at home./

adlai: (idf (including lots of secondhand familiarity with both sides of its military prison system) and 'hospital')
adlai: asciilifeform: my primary gripe with sbcl is that if you do enough network operations in parallel, you hit some race condition, and must restart lisp to continue webbing.
adlai is still using sbcl, this only happens every few months of scalping so it's not too hairy a shirt
