mircea_popescu: and in other indian news : rotimatic is a roti prata maker. it weighs 18kgs, has about 50 sensors and 500 motors.
a111: Logged on 2018-03-29 20:13 mircea_popescu: in other lulz, news from india : tata came up with a $2500 car. "nano". it has... no 0-60, because it goes 45 at the most.
mircea_popescu: (since it's catholic easter, here's easter egg bonus lulz from romania : roti is how you say wheels.)
BingoBoingo: !~later tell douchebag ^ the above logline has some interesting history
mircea_popescu: o yeah speaking of which, hey douchebag whatever happened to that tea chick ?
mircea_popescu: imagine the waitresses of today. loose hundred dollar bills and trips to costa rica are such a common everyday occurence in their lives, they don't even have to go chasing. let opportunity chase after the broad instead, is it postmodernism or innit?!?!?!
BingoBoingo: They again just about everybody in this country is "on vacation" for some definitions of vacation.
mircea_popescu: if they all lived in palaces it'd be one thing, but i've seen the louse traps.
mircea_popescu: yeah, aerosmith's "permanent vacation". brain checked out.
BingoBoingo: Or they have gone to exotic places like paraguay.
BingoBoingo: Which may be exotic for people from anywhere but Uru-
BingoBoingo: Kinda like going to the Ozarks when you already live in St Louis
mircea_popescu: or they despise themselves so much (as the direct and also necessary result of spending all their time involved with absolutely nothing else) that they automatically discount anything that happens to them by like 99.9999999%. because, as the wise timuruc once said, "if you were a millionaire you wouldn't be talking to me"
a111: Logged on 2018-03-31 16:40 mircea_popescu: i would really like a list of "all personal blogs older than a decade" right about now.
mircea_popescu: (guy, notably, is the ~only ustard "literary critic" to have actually read joyce's manuscripts. and you have to hear of this from me because the pantsuit is busy discussing the pseudoachievements of black chicks or w/e the fuck they do.)
mircea_popescu: jesus christ why is peterme.com orange ;/ and what the fuck is this, one self-promotion item from jan 2017, another pushing a book from august 2016 and a third from april ? jesus christ these people lack any insides already.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the fact that none of the early bloggers were actually literate minds shows. to give up the power of literature for the lure of "oral history" ? madness.
mircea_popescu:
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~awb/linux.history.html << early history of linux is probably important since we're doing so many start-of-world things. note how it was never intended to be an os, it was intended to be a "a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones" in order to... "it was a project to teach me about the 386".
mircea_popescu: considering also "Simply, I'd say that porting is impossible. As already mentioned, it uses a MMU, for both paging (not to disk yet) and segmentation. It's the segmentation that makes it REALLY 386 dependent (every task has a 64Mb segment for code & data - max 64 tasks in 4Gb. Anybody who needs more than 64Mb/task - tough cookies)." i'd say it actually broadly lives up to the original design -- linux is a fine non-professiona
mircea_popescu: l approach for one hobbist in finland to lift into his own head the gnarl of 386.
mircea_popescu: precious little ELSE it does, but then again my screwdriver also doesn't juice oranges.
douchebag: mircea_popescu: not sure what happened to her, i could send her a msg on discord
douchebag: i got a few girls who wanna come in here for the offer, but I was sleeping most of the day
douchebag: so I wasn't there to explain what the hell to do
douchebag: I'm glad I'm getting out of this shithole city very soon here
douchebag: mircea_popescu: I live in South Chicagoland, so that sort of thing is pretty "normal" here
douchebag: If you go to the ghetto side of town, you see houses with bullet holes in some of the houses
mircea_popescu: hey, there's a whole facade riddled with bullet holes in downtown timisoara
douchebag: I'm just glad I'm getting out of this shithole very soon
douchebag: Going to end up getting citizen and whatnot once I find a place to settle down
douchebag: I have a full time job working remotely, so I'll be just fine over there
douchebag: Just not happy here anymore, haven't been for a long time. It's not a good sight to see everything going to hell and there's nothing I can do about it except leave
douchebag: This was a somewhat decent town when I was growing up, there were still the bad sides of town. But now there's homeless people EVERYWHERE, drug addicts, gang members, ect..
douchebag: I have a house full of crack dealers who just moved in adjacent to me
douchebag: It's mainly an issue of the whole mentality where people think they're entitled to success
douchebag: Every black just seems to think their only chance for success is to become a famous rapper, and if they're not a famous rapper they choose to sell drugs instead of working a real job
mircea_popescu: well, net access compressed the space of perceived possibility. 1949 people read about a murder done for 50k and thought it made sense. today's kids think a job that doesn't pay 1mn a year isn't really worth getting out of bed ; let alone good enough to commit murder.
mircea_popescu: and from the other side of the double whammy, there.is.literally.nothing.to.do.
douchebag: mircea_popescu: I know people around here who would kill for $800
douchebag: Considering murder is glorified by modern rap music
trinque: you're in chiraq aren't you?
douchebag: Slangin n bangin rock on the block, poppin shots at the opps, fuck the cops seems to be the mentality
douchebag: I've had many jobs, in fact every job I have ever applied to - I got the job
mircea_popescu: so yes, obviously dudes will go about enforcing the chaining on the state-supported breeder cows. what the fuck else, "go to new york to be a writer" ?
mircea_popescu: douchebag the "no jobs -- nothing useful for normie to do" is a statistical argument, can't be invalidated by example.
douchebag: Well, every job I have ever applied to - I got the job. It doesn't seem to be a lack of jobs, it's a lack of will to work like a normal person
trinque: horse shit, where are the great projects of mid last century to entomb the ablebodied men in wet concrete?
mircea_popescu: trinque consider this lulzy angle -- in 1940 they could get a few hundred to about 1200 or so young men to go up on a boat. wake up every day, clean the deck, no girls for two years.
douchebag: Working at a bar bussing tables, working at a furniture store moving boxes, working at a shipping facility, working at a security firm
mircea_popescu: imagine if they had to man the pacific fleet today. what the fuck, 1 mn draftees per ship, shoot 10k a day for rank failure.
mircea_popescu: douchebag do you see the "no economic utility" approach re all those jobs ?
douchebag: However, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to get by and it doesn't have to involve robbing people or selling crack
mircea_popescu: yes, and good for you if you manage but don't be surprised when most don't. that's the nature of statistics.
trinque: crack's there, where other things aren't
mircea_popescu: who could have predicted (tm) that "we'll make an economy out of doing each other's laundry" nonsense will soon devolve of "we're stuck here, crabs in a pot, trying to sling an array of pointless dopes on each other".
douchebag: I don't know a single person who doesn't use drugs here. Whether it be weed or shotting heroin up your arm
mircea_popescu: douchebag or thinking they're "entrepreneurs" headed to sf or "actresses" headed to hollywood or "talented" headed to shitty-platform.com or so on.
mircea_popescu: there is no substantial difference between smoking crack and checking your roth ira
douchebag: Most people I know, especially college students seem to think that they're going to be famous - and if they're not famous they keep reaching towards unachievable goals
douchebag: Some of them even admit to having no skill - yet still feel entitled
mircea_popescu: douchebag you ever saw tlp btw ? i guess you might enjoy. iirc he also lived somewhere great-lakes-ish. even got held up by a "patient" once
douchebag: mircea_popescu: I've got bullet fragments lodged in my leg due to a driveby shooting at a gas station
mircea_popescu: in other "motherfucking hell" : linux got " US/German/French/Finnish keyboards" in v 0.11! along with other boneheaded idiocies like "code/data sharing between unrelated processes". wonder of wonders, there was actually NO philosophical community here, since the get-go. pure incidentals.
douchebag: Fucked up thing about my situation, a week prior I was at a different gas station and bullets went flying there. Didn't get hit
douchebag: Next week I get shot in the fucking leg
a111: Logged on 2017-09-30 20:05 mircea_popescu: the only extra hole in my hide i acquired through ricochet under car, nearly lost a knee.
douchebag: Glad you're okay friend, shit's crazy
douchebag: I'm just glad I'll be awake from here in about two months
mircea_popescu: sounds like a sound plan you got, check out the euro hussies, find a spot to settle down somewhat.
douchebag: Can't wait to try some of the foods - and my girlfriend is a great cook and loves cooking for me
mircea_popescu: you never been outside of the us huh ? that may promise to be quite the shock, like kid born in prison getting out.
douchebag: I'll be in Poland staring off, any Polish foods you'd suggest me trying?
mircea_popescu: i dunno about specifically polish, but sure, try the pirogi, try the blinyii, they should be capable of doing the north-eastern stuff well enough.
douchebag: and no, I've never been in any where farther than the surrounding states of Illinois
mircea_popescu: try all the soups once or twice ; starting with borrscht and move down.
mircea_popescu: but really, just try everything. in restaurants! good ones!
douchebag: I'm excited to see the sea for the first time
mircea_popescu: it's a shitty sea though. but better than nothing i guess.
douchebag: Oh yeah, I realize that - I just think it'll be nice to finally see the sea
mircea_popescu: they actually had a great pirogi place in gdansk but i don't remember it now. somewhere downtown.
douchebag: I've been to Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Tenessee, and Wisconsin
douchebag: Awesome, can't wait to try it man. You really don't understand how happy this makes me to know I'll be out of this shithole
trinque still doesn't mind TX, could be wrong
trinque: but if douchebag can get out, go for it, see everything you can
douchebag: Texas sounds like one of the nicer states
trinque: mostly because it doesn't want to be one
mircea_popescu: but yes, if memory serves san antonio was the only livable city in the us, and that's in texas.
hanbot: waiting for pizarro people to figure out php-mysql. from what i can tell they've been hacking at it all week.
ben_vulpes: user-local MySQL install is the last roadblock
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-03-29 16:45 asciilifeform: i would like to prove that 1995-style unixdir 'a la static' hosting is possible today, and with mp's php.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform discovered that it is impossible to get a per-user fastcgi hosting arrangement in place, as both apache and i believe nginx desperately want root
ben_vulpes: so i set up per-user fpm pools which work, but i'm at sea on how asciilifeform put together and ran his user-local mysql install.
ben_vulpes: cutting through a bunch of vines that the rest of the worlds use of vm's has let grow over useful, low-overhead tech.
mircea_popescu: now look here you nutjobs. mysql run once per user is WORSE a situation than the kernel run once per user. both apache and mysql are made to be one-for-all. this is not something you can negotiate by yourselves on the quiet in a day.
mircea_popescu: mysql has a permissions structure, why not fucking use it.
mircea_popescu: and moreover, when you tell me it's gonna be a day a week ago and then send your people on an insane mission through the jungle to build you a mountaintop aircraft submarine, you'd better fucking say something.
ben_vulpes: no, i thought the noticing would happen of what was being said over in the boatyard
ben_vulpes: i'll be sure to file updates here as well going forward
mircea_popescu: nevermind filing fucking updates. get the hounds off the insanity of chasing "user-local mysql", if it's what i imagine it is.
mircea_popescu: the ONLY reason lamp is even fucking useful, at all, is that the idiots in charge of the shitmachine got a web thing that could be cooked in ~2 hours.
mircea_popescu: you can't possibly take more than that to get the thing up and running. now get to it.
mircea_popescu: jesus christ there's solid comedy gold in the trilema mounthains

As long as the response is playful they remain worshipful. Uruguayas and it seems most Argentinas... whatever triggers their Laughs-Estrogen-Fun cycle seems to be broken. Deeply.

BingoBoingo: True. Still not sure where all the children come from here, but they sure do love making a show out of torturing their parents.
BingoBoingo: Last Sunday I had the priviledge of seeing one of the little monsters dive into the foot of a male probably relative (can't tell if cuck or father) and got himself good and kicked in the head while tripping the victim.
BingoBoingo: I am rather surprised this place isn't more popular with the alt-alt white Pepe set. No good reason Dixie can't move further South.
a111: Logged on 2018-03-26 16:06 mircea_popescu: anyway. boston managed to make "the defining question" be "what does america want to see ?" and then managed to convince the midwest that what california people think is hip is bostonolade ; then took those numbers and showed california that "what america wants to see!!" is bostonolade.
mircea_popescu: boston told them it's impossible to travel, no such thing as learning languages or handling non-pantsuit fiatola currency is possible for human hands and minds.
mircea_popescu: and they believe, because that's what it means to be a retard : you trust your parents. even the ones that whore you out since you were 3yo.
BingoBoingo: It's no small irony that the Make Alt-Alt Again folks... Or USian rebels in general will come so close to getting things right... Then they drink the Bostonolade that keeps them home.
BingoBoingo: Identify the empire is collapse, sure they can do it.
mircea_popescu: not more than the "rebelious" preteens that still go home to eat.

phf: i'm also disappointed that battlestar galactica date can not be reversed into system date to figure out when the messages were posted.
mircea_popescu: it's somewhat of a companion to the "what's changed" piece
ave1: seems to me it has te be 40
mircea_popescu: ave1 1000 / 25 = 40, each of which is two instances of 5, so 80
ave1: yep but the first was already counted in the 5
mircea_popescu: i guess i was wise enough to do the 625 correcty, so all bases are covered.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, catholic easter is on 1st of april this year ?
jurov: it aligned with resurrection so that's okay. few years ago it aligned with crucifixion.
