fbar: I just found the site
fbar: and heard maybe a paragraph worth of explanation from jpt4
BingoBoingo: jpt4 and fbar Who is your daddy and what does he do???
fbar: at first I assumed he was referring to a twitter user with the handle of Duke actually
fbar: who seems to enjoy magic tricks
Avarice_: Fbar is in need of lordship to justify his existence
fbar: And my advisor will free me soon enough
jpt4: La Serenissima is one of the few institutions capable of accepting, and worthy of demanding, a sincere oath of loyalty.
fbar: An oath given freely is worth as much
jpt4: Mr. Popescu has not shied from testing potential allies in the past.
jpt4: I recall his video poker challenge to Urbit some years ago.
mircea_popescu: why can't fbar start by adding his key and doing something useful like everyone else ?
BingoBoingo: Surely there's a courthouse or college campus that needs 3+ cubic yards of fresh uncomposted horse manure for the lulz. I'd rate such a delivery a +2 *if only there were a key to attribute it to*

trinque: what the hell was all that
mircea_popescu: with the mention that i absolutely don't see his point re chomsky ; but i do see his point re... himself.
mircea_popescu: why's them ghetto folk need to feel & be this contorted, really ? he's going to write a piece to confess imaginary crimes he summoned up for the circumstance which do not exist for any other reason than to try and misrepresent into their opposite his actual feelings about his misconstrued notions of a third party ?
mircea_popescu: "i think chomsky is really cool because i imagine chomsky to be this guy who is read worldwide and got really rich out of feeding people ''''alt-blue pills in a red coating''' (yes i'm aware this is nonsense, but it is also easy reference to a by now readily understood brand of nonsense this particular idiot club deals in) and i wanna be just like him!!1" becomes "here's some random '''nobody said them so they'll get said bec
mircea_popescu: ause it's online and we gotta compete on wordage''' items about current event which i'ma misrepresent as somewhow related to me really really hating the chomsky guy i really look up to for the reasons i actually look up to him, notwithstanding the whole pile exists only in my too-lazy-to-actually-read and too-eager-to-imagine-i-got-it-at-first-sentence''' dumber-than-rocks '''child prodigy''' head"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes. the basis of the comment is me reading the whole "Shaft in plato cave" nonsense.
mircea_popescu: (without, of course, references or anything. child prodigy is child prodigy!11")
mircea_popescu: chomsky is, also, for opening bids, the only guy who pointed out what mp pointed out re joe stack. yes his version of "sops, you're cutting the branch you're sitting on" is neither as cogent, articulated, useful or descriptive as mine. but this is because he is old, comparatively stupid and comparatively uncultured.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, you're now stuck reconciling this item where this lefty darling sees the right perspective.
mircea_popescu: your stance is that this can be just assumed about anyone any time ?
a111: Logged on 2017-05-10 16:34 asciilifeform: right. i dun mean the physical box, mircea_popescu . i meant 'in my head, i dun have a trilema' to say.
mircea_popescu: yes, maybe he speaks half truths because reasons. maybe he's just not bright enough to go further ?
mircea_popescu: this matter may be examined, like any matter, but the examination is neither substantiated nor concluded by the one sentence "coach sandusky had nothing on him". where are the fucking examples, notes, etcetera ?
mircea_popescu: if i felt like buying in flordia, i'd have mansions in florida.
mircea_popescu: and if i felt like doing a phd with whoevere the fuck, i'd have that, also.
mircea_popescu: it wasn't "usa won't take me without an army", asciilifeform .
mircea_popescu: let me point out that a) i visited, when i felt like ; b) they gave me a 10 year visa back in 2000. i was one of the i dunno, maybe dozen romanians with one, at the time ? c) they fucking held the embassy open while my driver was going 100 on the wrong way in bucharest because i met some friends and got to drinking and we lost track of time and we were late. eventually got a police escort to do it under color of law at least,
☟︎ mircea_popescu: dude, bitcoin is a life changing event for everyone else.
mircea_popescu: i was still mp before bitcoin, just a) you had no way to summon the interest and b) i had no interest to you know, maintain an irc connection like the link with the chest of the covenant.
mircea_popescu: in fact, my interest in computers at the time was comparable with your interest in machine guns today. a little bit of history and occasionally maybe have one in the house.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes but usually on work visas / no visas / 6 months tourist visas etc.
mircea_popescu: well apparently by your theory not anyone with half a mil.

https://archive.is/MQCwF << related. famous d00d who was abducted and sits in american prison for -- alleged -- 'intent'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well, chomski is getting out of usa about as much as gromyko
phf`: i suspect americans know of chomsky because he's got a funny name. like zizhek or solzhenitcin. if you can pronounce it correctly you're probably also into opera and appreciating wine
mircea_popescu: phf` this is true ; but the way he got there was through saying all sorts of weird/taboo things over 30 or so years.
mircea_popescu: now, obviously any bureaucracy aka club of the intellectually lazy will secrete insulating cocoon around such a fellow, in the shape of "oh, he's the delegated weirdsayer".
mircea_popescu: any "good family" girl in her 20s knows so much, to preciously pretend like "oh, uncle joe, he's always ~so~ controversial". which makes me take the cane in hand and leave her some memories.
mircea_popescu: to the outrage of the old bitties. "oh noe, susanna! he beat her! but she's so smart and cultivated and independent and o noes"
mircea_popescu: now, to sum this up -- it's not that i'm a huge chomski fan or anything ; but it is that if the scaffolding were build up in stanford square and the guillotine ready, i'd have serious problem signing off on chomski ; and some obscure dudes in the sciences depts.
phf`: i appreciate chomsky, he gave me a useful analytical tool of considering social and economic dynamic systems in terms of dependency graphs (which doesn't necessarily preclude lizard hitler, but allows for wider range of topologies that includes lizard hitler along all others)
phf`: i think that my initial dissatisfaction with socialism was partially due to chomsky: a flat graph of equal weights with nodes all alike
phf`: with "manufacturing consent" being one of the implications
mircea_popescu: it is not directly evident that chomski is in any meaningful sense socialist. ideologically, intellectually, how'd you like it.
mircea_popescu: the equivalent'd be to propose i'm vulgar because hey, i do the whole "damn... well, basically they fuck, but it was absolutely splendid in verse" schtick so therefore. except the intelligent can't actually be vulgar ; or for that matter socialist.
mircea_popescu: (the two aren't even distinct. to belong to the lower classes aesthetically or intellectually, what the fuck's the difference.)
mircea_popescu: well, what's the alternative, "of a good man - i am fond twice, of a bad man - not even once" ?
mircea_popescu: i mean, consider -- the nazis did not think so much of the various romanian/ukrainian/polish courts. and their agitprop did say they you know, lure german girls there to fuck!!11
mircea_popescu: can you see ancient rabbi fucking german 12 yo even were she willing ?
mircea_popescu: seems to me he's ~ a modernist reflection of the pre ww2 court system. blaming him for having a postwar reinterpretation of a rabbiniucal court seems rather strange.

BingoBoingo: In other things, sync test is now within 1500 blox
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: 2009 intel syncing in wild on spinning rust. Started in December
trinque: we'll find out; I'm gonna spin up one here now
trinque a little sad to find the thing's neutered, but the updated infectious genbootstrap will work as well on the other, or any other device with kernel module tweaking
trinque: shits fully functional de-dbus'd gentoo onto block device, copies itself in
trinque: didn't use an old vintage, but nothing prevents it. do you have a preference?
trinque: I boot with modules, do localyesconfig, then reboot with that product
trinque: yeh thing can prune itself now.
trinque: saturday all day's going to be my catch-up day for this and other things
trinque: only modules I'm even going to have it build in the first place are those involving block devices, network cards (eth), usb controllers
trinque: then afaik those do not load absent the hardware
trinque: folks want more modules, kernel source shall be sitting right there after the thing's booted
trinque: perhaps. you see firewalling as superior to shipping with "nothing but ssh shall be listening, and if you change this, caveat luser" ?
trinque: at any rate totally willing to hear a list of modules you see everyone should have.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-11 17:27 asciilifeform: incidentally this'd be a good adjunct to pete_dushenski et al's 'peers' patch : see FROM WHOM a fresh node got each block.
trinque: what I'd oppose is say, "and what if folks want to use it as a router, or NAS, or hair-net"
trinque: well fuck, learn what you need and go recompile kernel
trinque: iirc the main challenge with gentoo for folks has been getting to that first boot
trinque: I still expect them to do something themselves after first boot
trinque: this thing shits down a userland fs, kernel, lilo, and so long / thanks for teh fish
danielpbarron: now the same machine won't emerge sys-devel/gdb ... but it runs eulora! without window manager!
trinque: this was why "apu2" as standard example box
trinque: sadly now I find the debugger port I saw on it doesn't do dick.
trinque: but this may not be a problem for noobs, worth arguing
trinque: apu2 will sit down a node, run their weechat or w/e
trinque: this is superior imho to Framedragger's hosted idea
trinque: asciilifeform: sure, but you don't get the "this particular gentoo recipe SHALL WORK" without *some* standard box
trinque: worthwhile I think to define a noob-box of some standard which can be yet purchased.
trinque has the gizmo and sage sitting here too
trinque: thing is, this recipe shall work provided a particular kernel config for particular box
trinque: but I don't want to overcomplicate things or this will be another round of "gentoo does not work"
trinque: worthwhile to at least get folks carting around their own copy of various distfiles eh? get them off the debian apt servers and so on.
trinque: ^ main point of the thing, script shall shit down distfiles
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> i see box where i can't ban ip as ~useless << why the heck.
mircea_popescu: trinque> iirc the main challenge with gentoo for folks has been getting to that first boot << nah, getting it to correctly use video without taking more in babysitting timevalue than the box cost in the first place. which means < 1 hr.
trinque: same method would apply, but since my own needs begin with headless boxen, started there.
trinque: could build all video related modules, then reboot, modprobe them all, cd /usr/src/linux && make localyesconfig/localmodconfig
☟︎ mircea_popescu: still, apu1 with pre-checked gentoo install as a commodity router/webserver is sound approach.
mircea_popescu: maybe we should give trinque shares, box the apu1, sell TMSR router/webserver/mailserver
mircea_popescu: worked ok for those dorks, recall, the guy didn't wanna talk to us ?
mircea_popescu: soldered a raspi inside a pizza carton, sold as "nofucks" or somesuch
mircea_popescu: so then, main weakness of apu is that it is useless for networking.
trinque: dunno that one's weechat box *ought* to have any expectation of security/privacy
trinque: not like I keep my keys on mine.
trinque: it's less a bedroom and more pissing off the balcony
trinque: I don't see how that follows.
mircea_popescu: if the idea is "this stove is not intended to work as a gun" then you can't justify buying lens clearing fluid for the stove's scope.
trinque: the reason we have *nothing* on this front is the conversation goes "there are no nics"
mircea_popescu: honestly i'd feel happier with random hp box behind proper nic than with special-gentoo-special-raspberypi with rotm realtek/whatever
mircea_popescu: so tmsr computing wishlist goes a) ram insulating motherboard ; b) fully open nic to fuckgoats standards.
trinque: I dunno what strategic sense it makes to as yet have no mechanical way to stamp out a full trb node
trinque: and have all the excited teenagers stick them everywhere
trinque: meanwhile yes fixing computing still.
mircea_popescu: no, have motherboard design where the "dma" is a specified bank, and the cpu ram is a different bank ; and let it call whichever it specifically wants.
trinque: and what of teenagers being expendable and this being a vastly undertapped resource?
trinque: this is not asciilifeform's firmware dev env
trinque: what do they use it on, running weed around and whatnot
mircea_popescu: hardly. what exactly do you even want to "ban ips for" on your realtek nic asciilifeform ?
trinque: attacker cannot change IPs ?
trinque: also wtf let somebody's n00b box get attacked
mircea_popescu: nic will say whatever ip it fuckinfg feels like saying that day
trinque: if these are retarded let teh youf mark the idiocy with their bodies
trinque: wasn't hardware thread. got dragged there because reasons.
trinque: army of excitable young dickheads are meanwhile all farting around winking at us from their android devices or whatever
mircea_popescu: trinque i don't think they'll ever do something useful though, for the reason that it's useful. somehow the drones intuit and avoid any non-drony un-pointless meaningful activity.
mircea_popescu: for me personally, the "young soviet" personified by cptn breznev was rather instructive.
trinque: I am not yet this cynical, if only for my own dick-pulling.
mircea_popescu: anyway, as far as "headless whatever" item is concerned trinque it seems to me something you can rack is a better choice than something you gotta keep around the house / out of dog's mouth etc.

mircea_popescu: yes, but why is the happenstance that some dood with the right robes made $mistake relevant ?
gabriel_laddel_p: mircea_popescu: an addition to the story that "floating point must die": because otherwise intelligent people who have PHDs, write haskell & work on stuff we useveryday end up making less-than-obvious mistakes without realizing it.
gabriel_laddel_p: The article also lists 2 disasters that resulted from floating point errors
gabriel_laddel_p: rocket explosion + failure of a PATRIOT missile to hit its target, resulting in 28 deaths.
mircea_popescu: right. is the subtext that if only you were somehow involved this'd have been averted ?
mircea_popescu: here's the thing : the reason you do not see results commensurate with your perceived (and for all anyone knows, correctly perceived) subjective capacity is that you do not provide yourself with proper basis and sufficient time to make it happen.
