asciilifeform: phf: i have a massive lenovo tank lappy that takes 2 batts. but it was out of the question on acct of mass

asciilifeform: phf: at one time there were rumours of a ips panel that could be stuffed into x60 and had compatible connector/timings , but afaik it's just that, rumour, i was never able to get close to one

phf: i'm weird in that respect, i don't mind seeing pixels, reminds me of better times as far as computing. i make it extra ugly too, e.g. i run windowmaker, aliased fonts, the works

asciilifeform: and i suspect the x60 is at least partly answerable for their getting thicker

asciilifeform would happily pay a coin or 2 for a sane lappy -- <1kg, readable panel, day of battery . but it dun exist.

asciilifeform: even if i finally crack the puzzler of c101pa boot and encuntooation -- thing's palpably small.

asciilifeform: phf: incidentally i found that sharp inc makes b&w lcd's that run on 0power when holding picture, and beautiful 100% reflector-powered picture. but their biggest is iirc 4 in. and 336 × 536 . ☟︎

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i've got pretty big hands, had to learn '8 fingers' typing on ye olde toshiba libretto back when had it

BingoBoingo: I dunno, I think my hands have the stockholm syndrome pretty good on this issue

asciilifeform: i can easily see why mircea_popescu doesn't do lappies, and i wouldn't either if i didn't regularly get meself into adventures that require'em

asciilifeform: esp. pizarro voyages, these will always call for lightest available lappy, erry gram costs.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-07#1859325 << uterly indefensible choice, "we make lappy with ONE battery". all lappies of all time should have had two. so what if smaller two ? hotswappable! ☝︎☟︎

a111: Logged on 2018-10-07 23:59 phf: what's kind of silly and i think mp made that point a while ago, that none of the manufacturers of that vintage attempted to do a swapable battery. a dual battery slot, or a smaller internal battery that would keep the thing powered for ~60 seconds it takes to switch the battery

mircea_popescu: but, by the time lappies started, thinking was long out of us process.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-08#1859338 << afaik, also made this point. why the fuck bother with anything under 16 bold, what, they've won me at poker ? ☝︎☟︎

BingoBoingo: In other local new, Make Brasil Great Again appears to have nearly outright won the presidency. Still waiting on official results, but instead of the 27-30% take he was supposedly polling now it is looking like a 45-50% take

BingoBoingo: But naturally all of the pantsuit flavored publications are painting this as "Candidate Underwhelms By Failing To Avoid Runoff" instead of embarrassing overperformance versus their polls

mircea_popescu: o noes, pantsuit wank off by 20% as per usual ?!

asciilifeform: and interestingly 'hole for 2nd battery' was not entirely unknown item, even in '90s ~crapple~, i have an example ( 'g3 pismo' ) box that took'em

asciilifeform: but today it is only found in super-heaviweights ( e.g. lenovo 500 series ) afaik.

asciilifeform: and yes i'd rather have 2 half-sized batts than 1 large, this is elementary, esp. given that the 'large' are made of N smalls ☟︎

mircea_popescu: from the anthropology/hoc pov, this is possibly the best example to point to when defending "civilisation had ended prior to 1990" thesis.

mircea_popescu: we routinely do this to eg latins. applies just as well eveywhere.

trinque: nope, which is why I was curious where he got that number. guess if he wants to keep bidding to reach it, by all means!

mircea_popescu: pretty much all the empire shit works by this "only way to get an x is to link an x' to an y' to the x" device. by now it's actually usable as an empire-detecting heuristic. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and the only way for that to not have to happen is for someone to chisel down the 5mb. because your hallucinated "option" as to whether you load or not load has 0 bearing -- the only question is whether the 5mb run or don't run.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: pretty ordinary. i hear the chinese took it further still, if you want to rent a car there, gotta give'em gsm sim #, to get the latter, passport... etc

mircea_popescu: i mean, is it live somewhere or is it live nowhere.

mircea_popescu: not "does it work" ; "is it executed"

mircea_popescu: as long as it's executed, anywhere, ever at all -- you're fucking loading.

mircea_popescu: let's restate :

mircea_popescu: any quantity of code, no matter how large, no matter how gnarly, no matter how repugnant, and NO MATTER ANYTHING ELSE WHATSOEVER -- a) will be loaded in at least one human head, which will probably be yours, if it ever, at all, gets executed by a computer somewhere ; and b) will NOT be loaded in any heads, including yours, if AND ONLY IF it is NEVER, EVER, executed on any box anywhere.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: most of the extant liquishit was never loaded whole into any head. ( just as applicable to winblowz, openssl, crystalspace, etc. )

mircea_popescu: that's the only distinction reality permits : between code that is run, and code that is not run. whether the task of stuffing it in head "is feasible" according to the head in question or any other heads is entirely irrelevant.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform because idiots hallucinated the option of "not loading in head", the code in question now works as a sort of digital frontier : whoever loads more faster wins. hence "hackers".

asciilifeform: if coad was never loaded whole into a working head, it is not properly speaking an artificial object in the sense of being designed, but moar of an excretion, i.e. pile of shit

mircea_popescu: this is irrelevant.

mircea_popescu: there's no escape from the "any live code -- loaded in head" rule, and this is why you even get the "code -- small" tool.

asciilifeform: i dun see how it is not only not irrelevant, but in fact the ~only~ thing that's relevant when encountering a pile of coad.

asciilifeform: i.e. whether it can be approached as a crafted object, or whether it is pile o'shit

mircea_popescu: because the "not loaded in head" thing is illusory. someone somewhere will.

asciilifeform: if pile of shit -- then all that remains is to dig through it, if must, for the gold ring in it.

mircea_popescu: this thing you call "digging through"... is in fact...

asciilifeform: for instance, i did not load bdb into head, and don't intend to try, i dun have the 20 yrs that it'd take.

mircea_popescu: the difference between the bank clerk who "knows how to run excel" and alf, who can produce cp101a, is not, as you think, "has loaded in head ?". because bank girl has, after a fashion, to inept standards, somewhat loaded windows in head. that your loading is better than her loading is true, and that items move from worse to better in hands of republic and from better to worse in hands of empire is also true.

mircea_popescu: nevertheless, there's no such thing as the option of whether to load or to not load. if it runs -- you're loading.

mircea_popescu: you have currently [done a very poor job] of having loaded in head all binary turds used by all proprietary crap you use.

mircea_popescu: and i have done a moderately shitty job of having loaded in head the entire linux backports project.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: my profession the saeculum in fact reduces to 'cut'em up and try load into head, sawing through active resistance by orig author'. it is possible to attempt it. and there are other people whose profession is to lift heavy objects in the circus. but they will not be lifting garbage truck.

mircea_popescu: better post http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-06#1858801 than pre, it is true, but still. ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2018-10-06 14:36 mircea_popescu: "but mp, you don't understand how the world works" "what is the meaning of '''new''' in the context of '''similar enough to old for this scheme to work''' "oh, it doesn't PROMISE to stay that way! this pile just works as long as it does!" "which isn't a promise ? and if it stops working, what, time for linux-backports-compat-compat, a set of scripts to update the set of scripts that updates...?" "YES!"

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform whether you manage [to a standard of your satisfaction, or of my satisfaction, or however define] or don't manage has no bearing. it's still getting done.

mircea_popescu: all code that ever runs anywhere is getting loaded in head. there's no way out of this.

mircea_popescu: it's the cornerstone of the human condition.

mircea_popescu: thrown == not run.

asciilifeform: aha not run, once finally cut off with welding torch from the items that are to be run

mircea_popescu: this is what breaks the imperial brain, too : we stick to our trees being continuous, like blockchain. to zek -- luxury, can not be afforded.

asciilifeform: i suspect that we dun have a point of disagreement re subj; i got stuck on 'run'

mircea_popescu: and so "stuffed windows userland item into head" === large pile of assumption, wsod, jumps over gaps like ballerina. but it's still loaded, if poorly, unreliably, etc. it's loaded.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeh, just taking opportunity to overexplicitly state for teh logs.

mircea_popescu: (i think trinque especially enjoys reading these)

mircea_popescu: anyway, the whole " Naturally, since these types of morality focus more on abstract concepts rather than the people themselves, expect some rather nasty extremism." http://trilema.com/2014/the-definitive-tract-on-sociopathy/#selection-71.327-71.472 item has a lot of bearing here : the only way empire mind can make it to the end is through a LOT of jumping across gaps. thus they came up with this doctrine of love, "this makes

mircea_popescu: no sense, but people themselves before abstract concepts!!" aka "if you really loved me you'd buy this house/ring/kid/whatever yo ucan't afford" etc.

mircea_popescu: unremarkably enough, the pantsuit religion is then "the religion of love". cuz god "so loved his children", he gave them windows and asked them to use it.

asciilifeform: the old christian claptrap , that birthed current pantsuit, at least made the creeds explicit

mircea_popescu: (which is ~literally~ what fucking happened, "i was made by people too stupiud to make sense, BELIEVE in me" is the cry the guerre of the stupidgod.)

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform everything's explicit to the sufficiently trained eye. as they are unexplicit through confusion to moron today -- so they were 2k years ago. as directly visible to me then, so visible now.

asciilifeform: possibly to sufficiently expert entomologist, the current idjicy is linearly mappable to the older one, even; i have nfi

mircea_popescu: i can't detect ambitiously indolent stupidity has changed in any way since the days we fed them to the lions.

mircea_popescu: notice ~why~ it is random derp uses [ie, acts as if has loaded in head] pile of gnarl like say excel, or "telegram" or "kubinetes" or w/e : FOR LOVE OF BROTHER. "we all do it". but it sucks ? "yes well."

mircea_popescu: community prayer.

mircea_popescu: what exactly is to be deemed the difference between bunch of retards gathering together to worship gappy nonsense in some cave and bunch of retards gethering together to pretend like they know wtf the computer is doing, in some concrete re-enactment of a cave ?

mircea_popescu: because no, the "i know ~exactly~ what the computer is doing" declaration is not optional. exactly like socrates' observation, "the man claiming no political system has political system", exactly so, whatever the claim, to run code on machine equals the declaration of having fully read and thoroughly understood. there's no wiggle room. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: and the "i have nfi what excel is doing" observation does not reduce to "i have not fully read and thoroughly understood" ; but instead it reduces to "i have read and fully understood -- and i fill overquickly". ie, "i am dumb, easily satisfied and easily amused".

mircea_popescu: which drives the fundamental difference between zek and republican : some people are satisfied before satisfaction is on the table ; some only after. that's all.

deedbot: diana_coman updated rating of Mocky from 1 to 5 << Runs towards scary stuff rather than away from it. Met irl.

mircea_popescu: what's teh dalih habeeb like ?

mircea_popescu: diana_coman wait, HE repaired the plane ?!

diana_coman: the great american airlines managed to repair the plane on their own - this time

mircea_popescu: this sounds so fucking suspicious lmao. did they leave without all the mocky surveillance ? :D

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i never heard of this lol. maybe they only got as close as halfway-1.

mircea_popescu: good thing he placed a 30 hour gap there lmao. "what are you going to do in heathrow for that long !? " "fly back and forth repairing planes." ☟︎

mircea_popescu: "now pass me that grease bucket"

diana_coman: back from wherever they got but surely not from london, lol! I understood it was the type of "took off, flew a bit, something wrong, going back because can't risk attempting to cross the atlantic"

mircea_popescu: "dear belovedly departed passengers, this is your captain speaking. we seem to have taken off without some parts that are kinda needed, so we'll be going back. hopefully."

diana_coman: honestly, this is how it sounded! kind of reason why I asked him what airline was that because it's the first time I hear such a thing

mircea_popescu: "actually, let me correct that : we're going back for sure. precisely how far back is still under trial."

mircea_popescu: only way to fly -- rarely.

BingoBoingo: Nah, see this is the new artisanally diverse aviation. How dare you impose your engineering on these snowflake turbines!

mircea_popescu: i used to connect through frankfurt with a 6ish hour gap for lunch and merriment, back in the days.

diana_coman: on my way back to costa rica I had this connecting flight in Madrid, a few hours gap, had something to eat, no problem

mircea_popescu: but 30 is a diff game altogether. sleepover sorta gap.

diana_coman: yes, I would honestly simply stay a few days in that town then at least, but what can I say

mircea_popescu: well, i can say : the town is london, so i can understand why he'd rather sit in airport.

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo aaaahahaha epic.

BingoBoingo: Either way the virtue will be intact, but the shorter she is the greater the chance sack gets grabbed

asciilifeform: lolhow's that ? does mircea_popescu throw ladder down from dirigible to the tall ones?

mircea_popescu: well ? the FACT of the matter is that reproduction is -ev. always was, too. so little yellow men wish to participate in the affairs of humanity by essentially taking on the role of the human female ? this is a crime now ? should be hated for attempt to participate as best can ?

asciilifeform: it still aint 100% clear to me for what exactly china needs the white devil. recall when the brits had to hook'em on opium , to buy tea ? ( cn prior would take only gold/silver as payment , and brits were running low )

mircea_popescu: let them credit the fed general acct with as cheap items as can be had in counterparty for it, so the fed extends "college debt" to the above morons, so they have kids and move europe outta the present lulz.

mircea_popescu: yes, it's true, europe is in a rut, beyond ridiculous. this is what europe fucking does, and has been doing, it cycles. yes there's oodlebunches of useless old women about, but already the young cunts are very much oriented upwards.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform for actually doing things worth the mention. that's all.

mircea_popescu: china -- had gunpowder. white devil -- fired it into forbidden palace. china -- had helicopter. white devil -- flew it. china -- had alchemy, on paper. etc.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform they got time. so do i. it'll make more, eventually.

mircea_popescu: as i say -- the young hussies already are looking for slavery and abjection, in contrast to their stupid mulas and stramulas. from rotherham to anytown, usa, the 15 yo is saying "please, beat, rape and light me on fire -- anything whatsoever but having to talk with my kinmorons." ☟︎

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: wasn't even all 'paper' tho -- recall the enuch vizier d00d, picking up elephants, giraffes, from africa in 1500s on maersk-sized boat

BingoBoingo: In other lolz: Diputado del FA advirtió que “nos conviene estar en buenas relaciones” con Bolsonaro

diana_coman: in other possible interesting things: I got invited to give a talk to students at local uni (Reading, UK) on "bitcoin and blockchain"; personally I'm not all that keen on it but given the recent ideas regarding reach out and all that, I am at least considering this; any input on this is welcome ☟︎

diana_coman: ftr the above comes after I pretty much demolished (at a kids' party of all places) the "content" the poor new lecturer had inherited

mircea_popescu: lol.

mircea_popescu: so go, talk, why not. don't put up with any substantial shit, nor with more coincidental shit than you feel like. if they don't like it, they can shove it.

mircea_popescu: have them hook up an irc session to a projector, we can chat during.

asciilifeform: hey , at one time ( pre-tmsr... ) asciilifeform was invited to do talk at... microshit. still regrets not having prepared a trololol and going

mircea_popescu: doesn't even have to be "trololol". things are what they are, the congregation of the weirdos are more than welcome to react however they can think of.

asciilifeform envisions sumthing in the vein of hanbot's letter ( hey mod6 , did that ever get sent anywhere yet ? ) but obv the detail is up to diana_coman's skilled hand ☟︎

mircea_popescu: im sure she's qualified to lecture on her own.

diana_coman: from my pov the whole gain if I'm doing this is precisely in giving at least students the *chance* to hear something other than the regurgitated bullshit

diana_coman: the inherited slides are the usual mixture of "blockchain new techhxxx" + "ethereum!!!"

mircea_popescu: it's a mitzvah, as per ye olde http://trilema.com/2013/some-basic-discussion-of-charity/

diana_coman: it's more a matter of wtf to do to get through to them in the least seeing how they are so ...far away on all dimensions to any reality ☟︎

mircea_popescu: i guarantee you 9 in 10 MATH PROFESSORS can't explain rsa.

mircea_popescu: diana_coman is that not a good example ? bitcoin can be mentally reconstructed from fundamentals of rsa and db permanence.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i dun think i've yet met one, but i have 0 doubt that they are already on the jerb somewhere in ameristan

mircea_popescu: translate http://trilema.com/2011/ce-este-bitcoin/ why not.

asciilifeform: the chillunz may end up a bit confused when notice that there is no rsa in classical btc, but otherwise yes

BingoBoingo: In other wild finds the local commies are making campaign materials to help Make Brasil Great Again: https://i.redd.it/q6olj8nxxyq11.jpg

mircea_popescu: lulzy item. "let's mix the scary things!!!"

mircea_popescu: hey, latinos are exactly like the chinese, but with samba si trabajo no gene extra. otherwise -- of fucking course they'll be copying some white man.

mircea_popescu: latrinos*

mircea_popescu: haymasfuturo.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform technically, "latrinos. quien viven en mierda." but anyway.

asciilifeform: meanwhile, in trb observatory... nuffin on surface. but! loox like all of trb planet stuck on 544911 ( heathens : 544928 )

asciilifeform: imho errybody gotta have at least 1 noad with a display, will see lulz like this , i suspect , regularly

mircea_popescu: http://logs.bvulpes.com/chainstate?d=2018-8-31#416460 << mimi even longer ago ?! ☟︎

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: iirc ben_vulpes is moving his node on horse-drawn cart to texas

mircea_popescu: that's end of aug. but ok.

asciilifeform: iirc BingoBoingo , and possibly mircea_popescu , have unadvertised/'stealth' noades, see if they're also ditto.

asciilifeform: hour of 'earth stands still' is a regular thing , 2 -- i suspect is skulduggery

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> potential microforklet, possible lulz . << lulz involving exploitation of powerrangers inflation bug would be great lecture fodder

mircea_popescu: eh, plenty of 12+ hrs to date.

BingoBoingo: Then again there have been other forklets to include in lectures of why "move fast and break things" doesn't work

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: individual noad 12h yes , whole orchestra afaik -- not since 2016

mircea_popescu: meanwhile in other lulz re ben_vulpes : "nginx/1.10.3 (Ubuntu)".

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform whole orchestra too ; i dunno what state of improved patching it finds itself, but if it thereby "increased reliability" in an uniform manner...

mircea_popescu: ie, 90% of the bugsoup that produced delays before is removed, the remainder 10% will naturally stand out.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: something to this; 'aggression' removed most (not all) instances of trb 'sitting with mouth open'

asciilifeform: so nao moar apparent when friction at the interface of trbdom an' heathendom

mircea_popescu: right.

mircea_popescu: 1st line culprit anyway.

mircea_popescu: diana_coman BingoBoingo has a point, including ample warnings of the dangers of hallucinated optionality, man-aloneism, following pr-rangerism, mit-ism, eterdation etc can't possibly hurt the young'uns.

mircea_popescu: won't likely help them anymore than ye olde story of prikoke, but what can you do.

mircea_popescu: yeah.

mircea_popescu: seriously tho, have them hook an irc client to a projector, that way it's "chance to hear" + "be remembered". already +ev.

diana_coman: before talking of "blockchain technologies" I'd much rather talk of the whole non-technology part that is anyway more important

mircea_popescu: the situation of white woman on amazon island is that whatever the fuck you talk about, it's dirigible-to-shitshack more interesting than whatever ~else~ they could be hearing about.

diana_coman: I'll have to sit down and sketch for myself some clear options so that I know what I want from this; then I can serve it to them "take it or leave it" and that is that

mircea_popescu: men have been hanged for less.

mircea_popescu: watch that she ends up with an academia chair, thereby having ended up in the exact latrine she was trying to avoid by virtue of the very hay she was avoiding it by!

mircea_popescu: IRONY WORLD.

mircea_popescu: diana_coman if you end up seeing Framedragger / jimmy hoffa / elvis tell them they're missed.

mircea_popescu: teamsters union head, famous disappearance act.

mircea_popescu: mod6 word!

BingoBoingo: Anyways, presenting conservative sanity as thoughtful "minimalism" has tremendous social engineering value by brainfucking the pantsuit

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in the spirit of http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-31#1663960 are you aware the age-honored mobster expression for "ran away/disappeared" is "took a powder", literally conflating the two FOR THE REASON of making your exact point in folkloric style ? ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2017-05-31 16:28 asciilifeform: and if someone wants to mention godel etc -- ethical engineer MAY NOT cite godel, EVER, just as a police detective MAY NOT cite the supernatural and admit a hypothesis of miraculous theft from a safe

mircea_popescu: (reference is to the perception of magician's acts)

mircea_popescu: attested in thieves cant since 17th century.

asciilifeform: incidentally just cuz a heathen says he is 'current' dun mean much, reorgs are a thing

asciilifeform: ( will be interesting to see what the dynamic is once we have chain/forklet-reorg plotter going )

BingoBoingo: As mimi is not logging pizarro I present the latest report draft http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/XAMut/?raw=true for mod6 ben_vulpes asciilifeform and all other interested parties

trinque: "Bingoboingo provided an update on where the good drugs are located" << these things are hysterical.

BingoBoingo: trinque: I submitted a comment clarifying that line concerned where the crap drugs are located

asciilifeform: anyway billymg appears to be a remora who's never spoken but clutters up my tabcomplete for BingoBoingo !111

BingoBoingo: I'm not turning up anything in heathen pits but someone who maybe contributed more bugs to drupal

mod6: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-08#1859589 << I didn't send, no. Should I replace Hanna's name in there and the phone number? ☝︎☟︎

a111: Logged on 2018-10-08 18:54 asciilifeform envisions sumthing in the vein of hanbot's letter ( hey mod6 , did that ever get sent anywhere yet ? ) but obv the detail is up to diana_coman's skilled hand
