mircea_popescu: eh wtf.
asciilifeform: at last.
asciilifeform: incidentally i'd be curious to hear if anybody's ever seen a dieharder output on something that isn't a prng or prng-whitened trng, that consistently produced no 'weak'.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu, mod6 , et al ^

asciilifeform: afaik only the last one worx
mats: but it flares up now and again and i'm useless
asciilifeform: dun have to be 'computing', but conventional keyboard - yes

asciilifeform: typically there is not a separated 'mule', e.g., 'amazon' is the mule.
asciilifeform: but -- wb mats !
asciilifeform: mats: didja ever become a reverser like you wanted to ?

mats: no updates re: esp8266, don't have time for it but i'll cough up the coin if someone wants to try a bulk purchase and play with one
mats: BingoBoingo: any side effects i should know about, do you know if its effective with ulnar nerve entrapment
BingoBoingo: mats: None I know about, and no specifics on that application. It will however allow for greater effective dosing than continuing 800 mg ibuprofen

mircea_popescu: pretty much the consensus afaik.
mircea_popescu: old man watching tv.
BingoBoingo: Clearly Puntin needs to redirect Assad to this dire threat
mats: same fella is also known for debunking an earlier attribution to assad for the 2013 damascus attack, disputing israeli claims as to 90% effectiveness of the iron dome (discussed here iirc), and pissing on the effectiveness of the patriot pac-2 system in 'desert storm'

mircea_popescu: mats or perhaps more properly put, "anti-known", in the sense the tards pretend not to know.
mircea_popescu: somehow they're also insulated from the "isn't it strange, you seerm to know what you're ostensibly not knowing" problem. through wishing they were, because that works irl!!1
mats: i suspect it was delivered with an artillery shell rather than a rocket dropped by su-22, american radar may be able to disprove this
mats: but then why not publish this evidence?
mircea_popescu: the syrian story is the rebels were stockpiling it and it broke out once bombed.
mircea_popescu: this is rather likely true ; if it is by far the best strategy for the terrorist state involved is to publish nothing and yak loudly.
mircea_popescu: it still enjoys a lot of support among ~300 million moral idiots without any sort of conscience.
mats: https://www.bellingcat.com/news/mena/2017/04/05/khan-sheikhoun-chemical-attack-evidence-far/ a collection of osint on the subject
BingoBoingo: The point that matters is that someone needs to make POTUS great again
BingoBoingo: take the fucker's tv and put the old man on a strict diet of AM radio
mircea_popescu: heh
mats: i have been thinking usg destabilization of dprk is a great way to jam a fork in the party's eye
mats: this month has been entertaining
mats: (chinese communist party)
mircea_popescu: maybe.
mircea_popescu: usg has a lenghty history of monumentally inept intl politics
mircea_popescu: honestly i'd rather trust a gaggle of ghana street urchins than us state to achieve anything.
mats: there's footage suggesting massive .cn troop movements to the border
BingoBoingo: Which is why Trump needs to listen to Rush Limbaugh like real Americans do on their drive home from work.
mats: although this is consistent with specific brinksmanship events
mircea_popescu: mats this is how the usg lost ukraine, iksn't it.
mircea_popescu: if china decides to annex korea, both of them, who's gonna say anything ?
mircea_popescu: the ny strip club/grill dba "un" ?
mats: perhaps mr. trump will let a nuke off the chain
mircea_popescu: nobody ever will. nukes are a unique item that a) doesn't work and b) everyone thinks it does. it's the exact equivalent of the "valuable inheritance".
mircea_popescu: it ain't ever getting sold because it's more valuable as a tool to control the children than it'd ever fetch on the market.
mats: what would the party want with dprk anyways, they'd be picking up the tab for an entire generation ☟︎
mircea_popescu: what'd anyone want with ukraina.
mircea_popescu: i dunno, don't ask me, there's a reason i don't try to run a geostate.
mats: i agree that its unlikely anyone will use a nuke and claim responsibility for it
mircea_popescu: if anyone "uses" one there'll be auto-allocated responsibiolity. just like in the case of assad.
mircea_popescu: according to everyone, everyone else dun it.
mats: but the use of, say, one of those long-lost ussr suitcase nukes in uncertain circumstances, well...
mats: great excuse to annex a wealthy neighbor experiencing a fictitious civil war, under the pretense of martial law
mircea_popescu: eh amnd what's that gonna do. bl;ow up a parking lot ?
mircea_popescu: mats indeed.
mircea_popescu: hence the earlier comment re "buy ssds whole they still exist"
mircea_popescu: not like china believes in free market in the sense of selling you anything but the dregs.
mircea_popescu: you know, just like the usg wouldn't sell it anything but the dregs for a century.

mats: the border with dprk is enormous, how do you unfuck the refugee problem
mats: guess you could put a couple divisions to work shooting people and digging holes...
asciilifeform: which is why they've been trying to rm -rf northkr since '50s
asciilifeform: it is currently the only nation ( and, yes, unlike, e.g., usa, it is a nation) with industry but no mcdonalds, no riaa, and no harvard sons.
asciilifeform: total rejection of the lizard cathedral.
asciilifeform: which is why their attempts to build cheap, effective usg navy erasers is painted as 'aggression'

mod6: <+asciilifeform> and spiffy scope, mod6 << thx!

mats: https://twitter.com/TEN_GOP/status/853369814353661953 what is wind
mod6: <+asciilifeform> incidentally i'd be curious to hear if anybody's ever seen a dieharder output on something that isn't a prng or prng-whitened trng, that consistently produced no 'weak'. << werd.
mats: the 'antifa' people are all out of shape compared to the other guys on scene
mod6: i'll be testing the other ones and will report back how the ent/dh results look on each.
mircea_popescu: doh. they're the fat whores.
mats: http://www.theamericanmirror.com/video-trump-supporters-beaten-agitators-berkeley-rally
mircea_popescu: cool deal.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i can't say i personally much relish nations, but the alternative seems to be 'atomized' people who are deculturated to the point of qualifying for simian cage in zoo, and crushed by megastate like insects when needed.
asciilifeform: mod6: neato, i look forward to reading
mod6: <+asciilifeform> NOW if it happens with all of the units in mod6 's parcel, and ~every~ run -- then problem. << this is key too. i'll perhaps collect another 1Gb+ a few more times from that initial first one and report back on the ent/dh results too.
mod6: asciilifeform: werd. anyway, it's exciting to test these.
mats: i look forward to watching riots in vr
asciilifeform: mod6: it helps to recall, also, what 'dieharder' and similar tools are actually ~for~.
asciilifeform: they will reliably find what one might call 'coarse errors in pilotage' of rng builder
asciilifeform: (e.g., stuck bits)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform just because the ustard is a sad excuse for monkey nation does not imply we'll now accept the turd soup of "nations" does it ?
mod6: i'd like to get more familiar with the types of statistical tests from `ent` and `dieharder`.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: everyone i ever met who was worth knowing was a product (and typically escapee from) a healthy , traditional nation. not deculturated ???s, no.
mircea_popescu: i'm certainly no product of a (wholly imaginary) romanian "nation".
asciilifeform: mod6: most of'em are essentially montecarlos of various sorts, and result is judged by how close to 'expected'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: says the d00d from whose www i learned enough ro to read , e.g., 'silver boar' hunt poem and 1,001 other cultural treasures from 'imaginary nation'
mircea_popescu: if you're definition of a nation is a language then you're very much not talking of the same thing as in the case of best korea.
mircea_popescu: 2nd best korea uses same language.
mod6: asciilifeform: aha. ok, just read about that on the `ent' page. mine was: Monte Carlo value for Pi is 3.141730891 (error 0.00 percent).
asciilifeform: different кто ты по жизни jumper settings, however
mod6: Looks pretty solid to me.
mircea_popescu: anyway. i'm transylvanian if anything, which is an ethic group, if you must, and which has about as much to do with "romania" as say http://trilema.com/2013/the-greatest-accomplishments-of-the-french/#comment-92869
mircea_popescu: there's certainly no such thing as "the ardeal nation"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this i can picture.
asciilifeform: the 19th c. 'nationbuildings' were bogus, is obvious to blind man.
mircea_popescu: and for that matter i don't recall you being much of a "nation of ukr" either.
asciilifeform: i dun see appeal of inhabiting fictional nations any moar than mircea_popescu does.
mircea_popescu: so then lettuce leave this 1800s hillarytardism rot in the 1800s.
mircea_popescu: nations are for people too stupid to have been born this century.
asciilifeform: they're the pilot light.
asciilifeform: 'healthy breeding cow pool that sometimes produces people' as old mircea_popescu article put it.
mircea_popescu: im unconvinced.
mircea_popescu: teach the girls to whore and the boys to die, that's all the nation you'll ever need or for that matter want. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: (note that this is also exactly THE OPPOSITE of what every "nation" aims or attempts)
asciilifeform: usa was , at its root, a massive test of 'hey nations are bogus, nobody needs, let's all be Independent People Doing Own Thing'
asciilifeform: massive failure.
mircea_popescu: it worked while they worked it.
asciilifeform: while folks from healthy old world came and worked it.
mircea_popescu: once "doing independent thing" became watching tv (a subset thereof http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-15#1643888 are -- they're exactly IDENTICAL to middle aged women, watching their favourite tv dramas)... ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-04-15 01:17 mircea_popescu: i expect about half are white, unsexed, males in their 30s +- 8 years.

mircea_popescu: i don't think so.
asciilifeform: in 18th c it was their dour churches.

mircea_popescu: i thought you didn't think they worked.
asciilifeform: they work, as far as i can tell.
mircea_popescu: heh.
mircea_popescu: how about we let a chechen join the wot, make it to the lordship, then he can tell us they work if they do.

mircea_popescu: "man... i forgot what i was tryinna do!"
asciilifeform: resisting dissolution in surrounding deculturated liquishit == works.
mircea_popescu: nonsense.
asciilifeform: resisting mcshitburger.
mircea_popescu: makes it into l1 and says it works = works.
asciilifeform: whole point is that they are own l1.
asciilifeform: dun need us martians for anything.
mircea_popescu: = not works.
mircea_popescu: that's my whole fucking point, i need another set of "oh, we have slavegirls! no they can't dance and what is this cocksucking ? BANNED BY GOD!!11" bullshit.
asciilifeform: this is a postulation, not an observation, nor a deduction; i won't engage it
mircea_popescu: might have been entertaining in 1100
mircea_popescu: the notion that random-dorks may make "their own" l1 is not unlike the proposition princeton made its own alt-world in which it is relevant and "Blockchain technologees".
mircea_popescu: if it didn't suck it'd have been in here.
asciilifeform: princeton is a tendril of the octopus.
mircea_popescu: what, and you're enumerating badness ?
asciilifeform: whereas anything demonstrably separate from the octopus, and that resists it, is a valuable thing.
mircea_popescu: the problem isn't "princeton is tendril of XXX". the problem is "if princeton didn't suck it would have been in here."
mircea_popescu: that is nonsense.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu seriously expects sane folx to automatically accept him as pope 'at first sight' ?
asciilifeform: just like-so?
mircea_popescu: me ?
asciilifeform: well, how am i to process 'if they didn't suck, they'd already be here'
mircea_popescu: well, in my apparently peculiar view "here" is a construct of thought rather than a mpapacy.
asciilifeform: ideally!
mircea_popescu: eh, let them be the better mps, if they got the wetware. what, you think i'd object ?
mircea_popescu: save me the fucking trouble, i'll throw a ticker tape parade.
asciilifeform typically of same mind re own functions.
mircea_popescu: if power rangers weren't terminal fucking retards it's altogether unlikely anyone'd even know the name.
mircea_popescu: i don't even mean "if they were brilliant" or anything.
asciilifeform: if earlier set of powerrangers weren't similarly retarded, we would not have heard of stalin, say.

mircea_popescu: soo... i spent most of the day in the casinos, during which amiable passtime i happened to pick up the following tidbit :
mircea_popescu: ford made a fucking crib. like for kids, for your house. except it mimics your driving ☟︎
mircea_popescu: lights and errything. you can even register actual tracks and have it play them back to the poor baby.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: lol, sprays into house ?! and .22 may as well be dynamite, where i live << Nah, onto squirrels looking at your house. Get picnic chair, grab coffee, and wait ☟︎
BingoBoingo: "Wozniak envisions Earth zoned for residential use and Mars for heavy industry." << Tard, residences can only be so far from heavy industry or "Y no Roads?"
ben_vulpes: relatedly, light industry in p-town is gearing up for some serious wailing on the topic of how all of the cheap housing for their cheap labor is ~gone and now cheap labor has to buy a car and fuel/maintain/operate/park it instead of biking ten minutes to the shabby-chic warehouse from their squalid shared living setups ☟︎
mircea_popescu: can has road to mars
mircea_popescu: i read a novel.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes biking is no solution to anything.
ben_vulpes: tar me not with their wailing!
mircea_popescu: :p
ben_vulpes: the naive counter that "cars and more land area covered with rapidly-depreciated asphault solve nothing either!" is stupidly ignorant of path-dependent processes. america is the land of cars (thanks eisenhower) and will remain so for as far out as i can see.
ben_vulpes: plastification of typical vehicle mitigates against wear and tear from ever more degraded roads. less mass, less demand on the shock absorption system. ☟︎
ben_vulpes: there's a very real lower bound on the savings to be delivered with this vehicle though, and they're probably going to get burnt down by the poor folks who can't afford any better than the plastic having to drive further because must ams cities.
mircea_popescu: you have it re the tear issue.
mircea_popescu: the decision was made cca 2006 us infrastructure will not be maintained. the plasticar is unavoidable "squeeze last drop"
mircea_popescu: but the curious are encouraged to do a court survey of cases of "motorist killed by large road debris", there's been 100s of cases to date.
ben_vulpes: bridges still fall down in the great again
mircea_popescu: and will. "because bums".
ben_vulpes: mitigation actually runs in two directions; reduction in wear on road from lighter vehicles and reduction in wear on lighter vehicles from their own asses bouncing around. human-mass will keep going up, though, which will also eat the savings.
ben_vulpes: aaaand because the rail system is nonexistent, freight weight will not change and continue to rip roads up.
mircea_popescu: not so much freight left. most of the "goods" consumed by average ustard being "virtual" ie ipad bonbons. ☟︎
ben_vulpes: who could've predicted that a transportation system designed to give every schmuck their own car for driving as far as they can would be so expensive in the long run. who could've predicted the automatic transmission would accelerate the trend, or that robocars idem.
mircea_popescu: awell
mircea_popescu: whocouldhavepredicted/condolezzariceism pays well and wins no wars.

asciilifeform: can -- in principle -- roast in own kitchen, on frying pan.
mircea_popescu: moreover, the best thing roaster can do is not ruin the coffee.
mircea_popescu: this is not a substantial contribution. but i suppose assemblage is not that different after all.
asciilifeform: ^ this is quite beyond the ability of -- afaik -- anyone in usa
phf: well, in u.s. dominant roasting brands tend to ruin the coffee
asciilifeform: i have 2, maybe 3 cups of unruined coffee period.
asciilifeform: *had
mircea_popescu: phf this is true but also you know, "everyone assembles the car with wheels on hood -- we do not"
mircea_popescu: well... okay...
phf: like many things discussed here, it is a situation of many causes and effects also known as "the whole spitoon"
mircea_popescu: tru dat.
phf: but what i was actually going to say, is that openbsd disks apparently weren't pressed. it seems like theo de raadt has been burning them by hand up until now
asciilifeform: !
asciilifeform: lol!
phf: http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=149232307018311&w=2
asciilifeform: phf: srsly ?! iirc, danielpbarron had aluminum disks
asciilifeform: 'Goodbye CDs I'm done with you today Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye No more pre-production And no more long delays So I have peace Of mind Goodbye.'
phf: "Anyone want to buy some well-used CD burners?"
phf: it could be a joke, but the "well-used" part, i dunno if that's the kind joke somebody with a proper pressing plant contracts would make at the end of a long run
danielpbarron: huh, yeah the CDs i have are the "real" kind that look aluminum
asciilifeform: hey phf , danielpbarron , et al, any of you have any such cd nearby ? can look at it ?
danielpbarron: i have it sitting right next to me
asciilifeform: and 'delays' suggests -- aluminum.
asciilifeform: (burned disks tend to happen same-week)
asciilifeform: pressed disks -- happen at FUCKGOATS speed.
danielpbarron: i haven't opened versions 5.6 through 5.8 but my 5.5 is the official kind of cd that looks shiny metal (not colorful)
asciilifeform: it gets worse:
asciilifeform: 'The decision is not only economical. I don't want the "friction" of trying to achieve high-quality production of collector item data CDs twice a year, in 2017. 6.0 was a high-quality CD release like previous ones, but don't want to expend the effort of producing and testing to make sure 6.1, 6.2 etc are up to that standard. It is better to call it quits on a high note.'
asciilifeform: looks like he's done.
asciilifeform: done so much as trying to matter.
asciilifeform: 'Based upon income from contributors the Foundation performs a fantastic function -- making worries and problems disappear.'
danielpbarron: speaking of.. let's see if this works now
asciilifeform: including the 'problem' of non-remotelymodifiable copies .
danielpbarron: !!deed http://danielpbarron.com/obsd55-cd1.iso.tar.gz.txt.asc
phf: also, in case nobody noticed, 6.1 release has arm64 support, that relies on the base clang (that in turn was included but otherwise not used in base last december)
