mircea_popescu: ah as it turns out, it's actually wehrmacht-einheitskannister. nazi invention.
mod6: <+ben_vulpes> mod6: plenty of great, green, steel gas cans with no idiocy for sale on 'ebay' << werd
mircea_popescu: krautzes actually had emptying duration specifications and shit.
mod6: i gotta get one and try it out
mircea_popescu: if you find anything that works in an us army item, let me know.
trinque: with an idiot plastic thing
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nato doesn't have a spec. for anything. look you it up.
mircea_popescu: anyway, if they found you woithj two nazi cans of fuel they'd prolly hang you. wrecking through petrol stockpiliong or w/e.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, the impact of tech still lingers. for eg : my bmw tank actually is 2 cans.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> stockpiling rubbish is somehow 'national sport' here. << lol so true!
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> very. << indeed
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> anyway, if they found you woithj two nazi cans of fuel they'd prolly hang you. wrecking through petrol stockpiliong or w/e. << yeah, you'd think that they'd encourage people to not run out of gas, but nope. in fact, it is highly illegal to run out of gas on the freeway.
mod6: fineable offence. if your wheels fall off, and you come to a grinding halt. no big deal. you may just have to pay for the towtruck. but no fine. run out of gas (preventable), hefty fine.
mod6: "E stands for ``enough''"
mod6: another national sport of kinds
mircea_popescu: tank of gas = 35k colones = 70bux. comida india = 60k or so colones. etc.
mod6: yeah, here it's $2.20/gal. takes me ~$60 to fill up the burby.
mircea_popescu: o i know. everyone else pays two bux a liter ; except the "enviro conscious" usians, they pay 0.5 a liter.\
mod6: but not a week goes by that some fuckstick isn't standing in line to get $1 worth of gas. aka, fart into his tank.
mod6: which is not a crime, but jesus, maybe get at least enough to not run out 3 blocks after you leave the gas station.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> mod6: how do you get '$1 worth' ? drip from the nozzle ? << Cut your number of wheels in half
mod6: basically. they go inside, throw the jockey some change, and then pump ~.4 gals
mod6: it boggles the mind.
mod6: BingoBoingo makes a good point. even the motorcycles get more.
mod6: beyond my imagination.
mod6: they get an $8.50 pack of cigs, and $1 of gas.
mod6: cigs, gotta have those. NO MATTER WHAT.
mod6: don't get me started about the people and their fucking lotto tickets.
mod6: couldnt possibly be. somehow scammed lender.
BingoBoingo: <mod6> don't get me started about the people and their fucking lotto tickets. << BUT ELLIOT!!!
mod6: "have job; professional blogger"
mod6: "even have blogger internet speed!"
mod6: the worst part about the lotto tickets people, is they buy them, then more often than not (it seems like), insist on scratching them off right there and then.
☟︎ mod6: WHILE YOU WAIT BEHIND THEM!
mircea_popescu: do the various "states" / scams still actually pay anything on those ?
BingoBoingo: Illinois apparently went back to paying lottery, giving up on paying anything else
mod6: apparently. although, i recently read that illinois just had to shut down their lotto service ... and powerball pulled out of there?
mod6: not 100% sure if that was true or not though.
mircea_popescu: if alf had a rock of crack he'd prolly go around with it luring crackwhores rather than smoking it all right then and there also.
BingoBoingo: <mod6> apparently. although, i recently read that illinois just had to shut down their lotto service ... and powerball pulled out of there? << It's back now. The General Assembly had to suck a lot of other state's dicks, but it's back
mod6: BingoBoingo: lol. priorities. people need to feel like "they can be a winner too!"
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> motorized dumpster! << so recently i was told a story about how this guy in ohio borrowed this car that was a dumpster on wheels -- i'll spare you all the details, but the long of the short of it is; this guy's life was saved when he was t-boned by a dumptruck on the freeway because of all the garbage in the car.
mod6: apparently, all the trash apparently saved him from getting somehow crushed or whatnot.
mod6: eitherway, i had a good laugh out of this tale, as i can picture this as indeed, many people fill their cars with trash.
mod6: in 1994 i worked at this gas station, and this dude who used to come in and get gas had his ENTIRE car filled with empty cig packs.
mod6: lol. it's as if you should need to swim through garbage to get to your seat/belt.
mod6: another friend of mine had so many mc'ds sacks in the back, when he threw out a cig it came back in the window and started a fire in the back seat. on the freeway of course.
mircea_popescu: sounds like my ancient "cars --- through the sewage pipes" dream is being realised. from the inside,
mod6: he said, "when i looked in the rearview mirror, i saw flames, and my brain tried to tell me that i was imagining the flames."
mod6: so he actually ignored this for a number of moments until the smoke was filling the car.
mod6: when it was all said and done, he had burned away probably 25% of his back seat.
mircea_popescu: speaking of freeways, mp on freeway today, gets pulled over.
mircea_popescu: guy goes through dirver girl's papers, then asks for car papers. i'm liek, you don't need car papers in cr dood, sez my lawyer
mircea_popescu: policeman's like "well yeah, but your technical revision thingee's not on the windshield"
mircea_popescu: so i explain to him that looky, i just bought it, i had it redone, new brakes, shocks, everything in there. two weeks ago.
mircea_popescu: and he's like "very good that you fixed your car, but you hafta actually get it inspected. there's a special inspection orrifice"
mircea_popescu: whole thing that threw me is that the shop gives you a sticker, but you need A DIFFERENT one.
mod6: was it the front windshield?
mod6: that's kinda interesting, up here you get ticked for anything obstructing your view in the winshield. people still hang all sorts of shit off the rearview anyway, such as, inexplicable dice. or whatever.
mircea_popescu: (and i dun blame them for pushing the issue -- i have seen more cars dead on roadside here, incl IN TOWN than i had previously in my entire life.)
mircea_popescu: the guy was just liek... "well, the fine's $120 ; carry on but get it done will ye"
mod6: ah, well at least you didn't get taxed extra.
mod6: open-air prison indeed.
mircea_popescu: they weren't there on the way back, either. because a truck had crashed into a mini
hanbot: mircea_popescu also helps that you're able to talk to cops. most people do some combo of flipping out n' whining

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i had an open rum bottle in the fucking back seat tho! << Bless federalism. That's some sort of attempted murder in Illinois, but "Cool, have fun kids" in Missouri

mircea_popescu: it is the standard all other brews measure up (or more often, down) to

mircea_popescu: let me rephrase that in the form of a question. who wants to buy / sell some bitcoin on Aug 1st ?
BingoBoingo: Well, this is a most idiotic of forks, use luke-jr UASF client, and you fork onto luke-jrXT chain at X date with no miners required
BingoBoingo: So it may be time to load jerry cans onto the roflcopter
mircea_popescu: it's time for random shitstain to angle towards unwarranted relevancy 24/7 over there, innit

phf: i haven't stayed up to date, i'm instead studying this avionics software source code (it's a bit iffy, written by universities, but has a wider variety of stuff)
phf: to my code or avionics?
phf: i'm not sure how kosher it is (it's SPARK but they also use gnat extensions), i'm just recreating their project at a local hackerspace
phf: well, it's written by real time os people, rather than, you know, flight engineers, so naturally
phf: another amusing point for how little it does AND assisted by both ada and spark they still manage to introduce 3 "mistakes"
phf: just to clarify, is not a weather balloon, it's an autonomous uav glider
phf: fwiw it invalidate your thesis that ada is hipster proof
phf: and they are coming from the "formal verification" direction, via spark
☟︎ diana_coman: well, I can't see how slow accumulation of concession to shit leads to anything other than "chemically bonds to it" at some point

phf: or possible supporting all kinds of system specific corner cases (oh netbsd returns NULL here instead of "FOO")
phf: well, problem is that there doesn't seem to be much in terms of tasteful ada code available to public. with common lisp you can go to mid-90s and before and you start getting some very reasonable works, worthy imitation.
phf: bulk of ada code i've seen so far is very much workingmen code, cobol like stuff from the belly of industrial facilities

phf: you improve your craft by studying from master craftsmen. if you've studied too long in from poor craftsmen, never developed the skill to discriminate, etc. then of course you're going to be poor craftsman yourself (and possibly unteachable)
phf: sure, but you can do that if you ~learned to discriminate~
trinque: most important bits probably in youth, i.e. beatings for the hint of lying shitbag.
phf: i can learn from that avionics code and possibly not even pick up too many bad habits, but i doubt i could've done that 15 years ago
phf: and the habits that i do pick up would be eliminated in the next round of learning
phf: i thought that proper classical education is all about learning how to discriminate? i mean western art has this value of "this guy is good, but not quite. this other guy is as good as this first guy, and he also has that not quite covered. he's the true master"
☟︎ phf: ~for me~ studying ffa is a faster method to pick up good habits, shed bad habits, considerably more so than say studying that avionics code above.
phf: but ffa also doesn't have that many moving parts. it's a single stack mathematical code that mostly operates on same, uniform memory regions. so my original issue was that there's no enough quality code, certainly plenty of shit code, which is not quite the case in common lisp world

phf: i won't the thing to follow some pretty simple decision algorithm: here's a gps list of viable landing spots, here's a gps list of interesting targets. given your positional knowns decide and execute a flight path that'll take the aircraft through highest number of interesting targets before landing in any one of the viable landing spots. surprisingly large number of moving parts in a situation like that

phf: right, motion planning also the part that's non existent in above code, so easier to greenfield, where's avionics is there in however poor form

Blowing on it displaces the 10.000000 MHz crystal oscillator by around 1 part in 10 million or 1 Hz, which is magnified 150 times by the synthesizer PLL.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally : the pineapple hacking device is this chinese blade i bought on a lark. turns out it's the best steel i own / have seen in a long while.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: no longer are the chinese the short yellow men of yore. actual steel.
mircea_popescu: altogether very well made knife, and wouldn't shame the milanese.
phf: but then i bought a handful of hand forged (non-artisanal, but for cutting coconuts and other such low skilled labor) knives in india. easily outperforms all the junk i had at home, apart from solingen cooking knives

mircea_popescu: phf do they do the one hack while holding the fruit move there ?
phf: yes, and since you reminded, i retract the unskilled part. i tried recreating the move, nearly hacked my hand off a few times, but not much damage to the coconut
mircea_popescu: anyway, the problem of steel is not altogether a trivial matter of material science. nor is hand forging the universal solution. gotta make the steel for the purpose, as it were.
mircea_popescu: phf it's all because of mommentum. counter-military blow, the blade decelerates just as it hits somehiw. i can't do it either.
phf: also they use it to hack trees for kindling, etc. i tried using the knives for that purpose during camping, couldn't do much damage either. i suspect, yes, there's a tricky technique to it.
mircea_popescu: not full speed, they manage an incredible coupla miles an hour, but still, human. i count for a 14yo boy i guess.
mircea_popescu: (jungle expedition consists of this person at the front doing a sideways circular motion with the machete to cut through all the gunk that grows everywhere. the men rotate at the front because it's hard fucking work.)
phf: there's a scene in samurai executioner comic book, where main character is cutting wood with a very similar looking knife, observed by a local youth. the kid later tries to repeat the move, and complete fails to even penetrate the surface. pretty much where i'm at with all this :)
mircea_popescu: phf i had a local guy who was trying to impress a local girl explain it all to me. fibers, man!

mircea_popescu: phf ah that's a rather different item. it's not properly a machete, more like a sort of kukri.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ayup. all primitive societies practice a sort of adolescent male cock caging as a cultural, ofthen the ONLY cultural endeavour.
mircea_popescu: phf if you triedf to junglewalk with that thing you'd be blind for all the shit it drags into your face. machete blade is curved the other way, to (if used in the right manner) repell everything at a 45ish angle
mircea_popescu: also has to be sharpened "correctly". too sharp it embeds, too dull it tires you prematurely.
mircea_popescu: there's a dazzling depth to these pointless shits, which is why the whole "oh i wonder why ancient people didn't spend more time thinking -- i could derive all of euclid in an evening" is so amusing.
☟︎ phf: right, this is more of a worker knife. i've seen it used at construction sites for example to shape the beams
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform point being -- ancients did. just, they thought about things nobody cares one wit ore way or the other today.
mircea_popescu: wtf, if i actually have to clear jungle i'll bring in hydraulics not futz with a million blades held by a million locals.
mircea_popescu: usg hasn't tried anything since ww2. and even that was half-ass

andreicon: wives are just women if there's no husband
andreicon: wife is bitter cause the husband hit her
mircea_popescu: generally the republican outlook is substance before form (aka, idealism, aka exactly heine's "Herab auf Euer romantisches Haupt des Himmels modernste Blitze") whereas the imperial outlook is "context only" hence the pantsuit's demographic delusion re 2016 elections.

mircea_popescu: but the point is for the core to not be rustable, if it's to be a core at all. otherwise what's core mean ? geometrically derived ?
diana_coman is all of a sudden curious if she's gypsy looking
diana_coman: should have said also: gypsy *enough* - because I certainly looked "Italian" to austrians and "gypsy" or ukrainian to Russians etc
diana_coman: eh, to Italians in the South I looked...German!
mircea_popescu: this sounds counterintuitive, but they're all talking of the same thing. no longer "ethnically determined state", as it happens, but that's happenstance.
mircea_popescu: could just as well have had that patchwork set instead of the current patchwork set.
diana_coman: maybe; the more general distinction that kind of held was southern/northern or eastern/western and moreover in the sense familiar /foreign/very foreign
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, re core: disease/old age can eat out a person's core in more than geometrical sense; do you mean that any person who didn't die core-intact basically had no proper core to speak of?
mircea_popescu: yes, i would say that to die senile is some kind of retroactive macula on one's intellectual history.
mircea_popescu: "leonidas died young, and when asked by someone why is he dying young, leonidas answer that he prefers the citizenry wonder why leonida is already dead than to bemoan leonidas still being there."

diana_coman: I'm really more exploring where this goes rather than having some solid thing on it either way

mircea_popescu: diana_coman and what are the dead but just a dream we dream.

mircea_popescu: did washington "really exist" moreso than say "captain planet" ? in what "objective" ie non-wot-based approach.

mircea_popescu: but that is the point : if you spend your time learning to signal instead of learning to do, you cheat yourself of a chance at life once the whole dumbery you were exchanging signals with goes away and you're left with just the trees, johnny.
