asciilifeform: short of financing its entire r&d starting from ore.
BingoBoingo waits for the cold unforgiving march of money to turn cardano toolchain into workstation.
mircea_popescu: well yes.
mircea_popescu: kinda why soviets became unpopular in central europe in the 80s
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: this story is actually about a machine involved in my day job
mike_c: aren't those IPS screens supposed to be the shit?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I know, but... Nothing happens in isolation
asciilifeform: mike_c: ips in a laptop?
mike_c: dunno. am researching now, usually a good idea before opening one's mouth.
asciilifeform: mike_c: they exist, in theory, but nothing with 1000+ rows of pixels
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform sure, they exist, but not really feasible for laptop from what i recall
mircea_popescu: too much power draw or something
asciilifeform used that thing again for half hour, to test, and now has a truly astonishingly-powerful headache
mircea_popescu: http://atc.blockr.io/#!/charts << gotta say this is one of the few pages implementing graphs correctly
mircea_popescu: ty mod6
kakobrekla: i have ips screen on lappy
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yep i have the same problem with newer laptops
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: resolution ?
kakobrekla: it fails on that yea.
mike_c: mircea_popescu: what do you like about the graphs?
mircea_popescu: mike_c that they run on my browser.
penguirker: New blog post: http://qntra.net/2014/10/newsweeklied-lied/
mike_c: heh. i haven't gotten into svg yet, seems worthwhile though.
mircea_popescu: ninjashogun: For exmaple, i would rate you a 1 (easily) based on our previous conversation, but it wouldn't accept it. << such pandering.
asciilifeform: the most infuriating thing is that the easiest way to increase vertical resolution (the only kind that really matters to me) is to turn the display 90 degrees, which is not doable on laptop.
asciilifeform: on every 'real' computer i own, i do it
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in a sense, the fact that everyone today uses computers with porn screens, rather than coding screens
mircea_popescu: is clear proof the trolls have won.
BingoBoingo: Like the world's biggest walmart http://www.wired.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/nsa-660x440.jpeg
asciilifeform: can't even imagine a respectable porn aficionado enjoying these
asciilifeform: at least, not for still shots
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform point being, they're cinematic screens (wider than tall) rather than coding screens (taller than wide)
asciilifeform: this, yes
asciilifeform: incidentally, notice xerox and original mit lisp machines - had correct (vertical) displays.
asciilifeform: but no, modified television for everybody. to this day.
mircea_popescu: so in bitbet board kako proposed a motion to give punkman 10k shares too, which passed. you got a mpex acct ? or coinbr ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's what im sayin'.
mircea_popescu: all this ninjashogun bs polluting the logs... i keep skipping, who knows what valuable contribution of some legitimate participant falls through cracks thusly
kakobrekla: we need like personalized filter
asciilifeform: it really is time to start charging him for the privilege of using #b-a as a public urinal
assbot: Last 3 lines bashed and pending review. ( http://dpaste.com/1CN9WYP.txt )
BingoBoingo: !b 3 ✂︎
mircea_popescu: yeah srsly i dunno why people keep upping him.
mircea_popescu: up some porn star or something, at least boobs.
kakobrekla: i do wat i want
kakobrekla: o wait, it wasnt me.
asciilifeform: presumably to keep him addicted while the pay toilet coin hopper is wired in.
mircea_popescu: yeah, and then he'll ipo b-a voice on cryptsy
mircea_popescu: and you'll end up with 50 kids each contributing a nickle towards it
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: And unlike MtGox I hack on live php withou knowing php or crashing the thing. <<< this is pretty much why people like php
kakobrekla: its like lisp in that sense
kakobrekla: lel
mircea_popescu: lmao
BingoBoingo: It's a language you don't need to know to fix... so far...
mircea_popescu: pretty much like a kitchen appliance
BingoBoingo: If it gets really bad drop it on the counter
mircea_popescu: assbot: NSA Mind-Bender: We Won't Tell You What Info We Already Leaked to the Media | WIRED <<< i was having a lulz earlier at that
mircea_popescu: kinda reminescent of all sorts of bureaucratic nonsense early on in the snowden saga, when they still thought they're living in old world
BingoBoingo: I still can't get over the misguided web design of the Snowden film website
mircea_popescu: mike_c: when is b-a going to list itself on mpex and pay shares based on line count? << http://trilema.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/infinate-corectpowar.jpg
kakobrekla: well it does resemble a coil
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this works especially well on a cheap 'ups'.
mircea_popescu: lmao omfg.
mike_c: hehe
mircea_popescu: this somehow has not occured to me
mircea_popescu: i suppose the best way is to plug a router into itself and then the ups into itself making the coils go through each other
mircea_popescu: seti was doing it wrong
BingoBoingo: http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/fergusonoctober-protests-resume-with-actions-in-ferguson-first-arrests/article_c1752132-9731-542e-8525-1885fae7fd10.html
assbot: Arrest total upped to 42 at Ferguson police station on 'Moral Monday,' more events elsewhere : News
mircea_popescu: 42 n ot bad
BingoBoingo: At this point if St Louis gets an obola case, whites and blacks will prolly agree it is ebama's fault
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: hell, captain kidd supposedly did it at his hanging. << this.
mircea_popescu: http://www.contravex.com/2014/10/13/qntra-reaffirms-wot-irc-yeshiva-in-no-way-optional/ << wow lok at that, s.qntr got a fan
assbot: Qntra Reaffirms That The WoT And IRC Yeshiva Are In No Way Optional - Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski
cazalla: yeah but then qntra went and relaxed the guidelines, if need be anyway
mircea_popescu: like how ?
BingoBoingo: Taleb could probably get an article in without 6 months reading.
cazalla: 6 months logs part
mircea_popescu: well yea, but i mean, the only way to verify that part is through what the people say
mircea_popescu: as in, does this guy show understanding comensurate with a semester's reading
mircea_popescu: not like ninjashogun can come and say "hei guise, i got 6months in, that's it rite ???"
BingoBoingo: Well I dunno that ninjashogun has ever read anything. It might taint his seekrit ideas with prior art.
mircea_popescu: there is that yea
BingoBoingo: It is a disease of a lot of the swiftly discountable crackpots
asciilifeform: my favourite hypothesis re mr. spam is that he is a scammer masquerading as an incompetent usg case officer.
assbot: Last 7 lines bashed and pending review. ( http://dpaste.com/2NQ997S.txt )
BingoBoingo: !b 7 ✂︎
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Why can't he be both?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't think anyone but you really sees the usg case officer angle.
mircea_popescu: not the right kind of derp.
BingoBoingo: I can see it.
mircea_popescu: maybe im just out of touch
BingoBoingo: Asks a lot of unanswerable questions about net worth. Derpy scammer is an angle usg has prolly tried before in tax cases.
asciilifeform: basic case master recipe from both sides of cold war - pretend to be an unrelated animal that nevertheless merits close access to the chumper's personal guts.
asciilifeform: e.g., a priest.
BingoBoingo: The impression of incompetence offers tha failed agent quite a bit of plausible deniability
asciilifeform: or 'co-phounder'
assbot: ninjashogun +v failed; L1: 0, L2: -4
asciilifeform: co-flounder?
nubbins`: wait, ninjashogun is a plant?!
mircea_popescu: reviewing records, it seems i've been on the capitulating side of this argument once before
nubbins`: but i opened my books to that guy
mircea_popescu: i dunno...
nubbins`: receipts, invoices, everything
nubbins`: HE SAID HE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY
mircea_popescu: nubbins` oh you
nubbins`: ;/
asciilifeform: nubbins`: at least you didn't open up for the spores
asciilifeform: or didja.
mircea_popescu: well there was that threesome in the woods...
nubbins`: the... spores...
mircea_popescu: someone should make a bitcoin scammer cartman. sort of a karpeles - tom van dyke - rpietilla mix.,
mircea_popescu: RESPECT MAH OPPORTUNITAH
mircea_popescu: his hat could be a silver cup.
BingoBoingo: I thought the tradehill crowd played that out already
BingoBoingo: except they kept their Cartmanland
mircea_popescu: srsly we need a good cartoon maker in here.
mircea_popescu: !up menahem
BingoBoingo: Well in 2016 should be able to afford the south park guys
mircea_popescu: i'd rather give some young uns a boost.
mircea_popescu: otherwise it feels just like jenifer lopez' mom winning the lottery
asciilifeform: <ninjashogun> this really is ridiculous. Again, straight out of http://seriouspony.com/trouble-at-the-koolaid-point --- straight harassment and trolling. Because you don't want to actually work on shipping product.
asciilifeform: ^ from our friend, mr spam
asciilifeform inspects apparently-broken killfile
BingoBoingo: Maybe ur using killfile wrong?
mircea_popescu: "o look guise, i have an article which sais people make fun of idiots! therefore your making fun of my idiocy is rendered null and void!11"
mircea_popescu: what is this, the special internets ?
BingoBoingo: No, special internets has shorter bus and pipes
BingoBoingo: !up mpmcsweeney
asciilifeform will probably have to switch to whitelist soon.
asciilifeform: would be interesting to have #b-a-voiced-only pm whitelist plugin.
mircea_popescu: you can probably write it
asciilifeform: i could, yes. perhaps in peacetime.
mircea_popescu: it's an interesting idea anyway. what do most people use, irssi ? xchat ?
mircea_popescu: emacs ?
asciilifeform: presently xchat
BingoBoingo: xchat atm
asciilifeform: anyone fess up to emacs ?
menahem: weechat
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: emacs would be interesting if Stallman surrended and just had it replace Hurd in his grand scheme
mircea_popescu: "bingbot 0.0.0 Ben AsselstineBingbot turns you into an IRC cyborg. When someone says "uptime" to you, it answers them back with your uptime. When someone says "vi?" to you, it answers them back with the last file you opened in vim. When someone says "search: foo" to you, it gets a random link to a gif on imgur.com/r/gifs/new and shows them that. written in c++, requires glibmm, curlpp and sigc++."
mircea_popescu: holy shit. what is wrong with people
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: elisp is a terrifyingly pre-1970s-style crock of shit. e.g., brings back the infamous 'funarg problem'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: is there one which invites strangers to format your hd?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Still better than the x86 is nothing but shims all the way down problem
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: you're more than welcome to boot straight into emacs even now.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform on the basis of that description, easily extensible
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: in fact, when, as a boy, i first read of lisp machines, i somehow thought this is how they worked.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Last time I tried that I realized I dun really know how to emax
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: you may have to break down and get the book.
BingoBoingo: Yeah
asciilifeform: if you don't have a greybeard to apprentice with.
BingoBoingo: None around here who won't steal my jools
asciilifeform: <ninjashogun> You seriously need to stop with the trolling. It is extremely unprofessional. I've already apologized for hurting your feelings.
asciilifeform: <ninjashogun> You also repeatedly mention me in a negative light, despite my not saying anything to you. Just stop.
asciilifeform: what is even the deal with xchat. / ignore user ALL doesn't seem to work.
mircea_popescu: so, how to break up with a girl subtler than sublte ?
mircea_popescu: bring her begonias
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I thought carnations were the way.
mircea_popescu: no but see... be-gone-yas
BingoBoingo: Ah, around these parts carnations are "funeral flowers" So you bring the carnations and ask the girl if they remind her of anything. Inevitably she mentions an older relative. Then... That's about where we're at nao.
ben_vulpes: i fess up to emacs
Apocalyptic: <asciilifeform> what is even the deal with xchat. / ignore user ALL doesn't seem to work. // you have to provide a hostmask for <user>
ben_vulpes: erc
ben_vulpes: works for me
mircea_popescu: it works srsly.
ben_vulpes: plus extensible with stallisp
danielpbarron uses irssi
BingoBoingo: Might have to try begonias next time
ben_vulpes: irssi's okay. wacky wacky architecture tho.
BingoBoingo: How much did ebama pay her to spread obola? http://gawker.com/nbc-chief-medical-correspondent-quarantined-for-ebola-1645924287
assbot: NBC's Medical Correspondent is Quarantined for Ebola, Goes Out Anyway
mircea_popescu: jesus.
ben_vulpes: o.O
mircea_popescu: did she bareback a bunch of dudes at least ?
BingoBoingo: Who know?
BingoBoingo: The thing about ebola is that people talk about it either like it's the flu and easy to spead or GRIDS which is hard to spread when it is in the middle, but leaning closer to the flu
mircea_popescu: actually it's pretty close to aids from what i gather.
BingoBoingo: But this shit doesn't work in two dimesions, because sweat can't spread GRIDS or the flu
asciilifeform: i'd like to see which one of us gets kicked off freenode first, for 'harrassing' mr spam.
danielpbarron: lol
mircea_popescu: uh
BingoBoingo: And it really is GRIDS rather than AIDS to shame the system that could not forsee that most cases would happen to hetrosexual african women.
mircea_popescu: what is this, lala land ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo come again ?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: The actual demographics of AIDS vs the history of AIDS naming
mircea_popescu: ah
mircea_popescu: anywya, it'll be hilarious once it comes out that whites actually have some natural resistence to the disease, which blacks do not. that sort of thing is what makes one suspect god is in it for the lulz.
xanthyos: <+mircea_popescu> no but see... be-gone-yas << this cryptic breakup pun is pilkingtonian
mircea_popescu: :p
asciilifeform: i suspect that quarantine on certain people will be enforced very honestly, while on others (as above example) - not quite.
asciilifeform: no historical example of this, afaik, but the totalitarian state is a rather young thing
asciilifeform: (though biowar is ancient...)
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform> no historical example of this, afaik, but the totalitarian state is a rather young thing << Not so young, socrates tried to implement it
xanthyos: the fema camps full of empty coffins have already been built
asciilifeform: xanthyos: that story never made sense - why would we get own coffins
asciilifeform: what's wrong with old-fashioned mass grave.
asciilifeform: coffins! what luxury americans expect.
asciilifeform: how many of, e.g., stalin's, clients, got coffins.
xanthyos: it's more believable as a conspiracy theory if they don't go to the extent of telling the people there will be mass graves
asciilifeform: the hilarious part is, i can actually believe that they'd stockpile coffins.
xanthyos: maybe only the front row is coffins
asciilifeform: !s beetle men
assbot: 2 results for 'beetle men' : http://search.bitcoin-assets.com/?q=beetle+men
xanthyos: maybe there's a lobbyist in washington who works for big coffin
nubbins`: make em the right shape, you can nest 'em like wading pools.
nubbins`: after all, what is a coffin but an oblong Rubbermaid storage bin?
asciilifeform: the rule-following beetle men, they will read 'victims must be buried in coffins' and literally order it done, in precisely that way
asciilifeform: identical 'rubbermaid' ones, made under contract #something, yes.
asciilifeform: if they're used, it'll be 3-4 clients per.
asciilifeform: otherwise, where to pack them all.
BingoBoingo: I like the people who say "come on obola isn't zombie plague" not realizing that unlike pretend zombie plague obola leaves people real dead.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> xanthyos: that story never made sense - why would we get own coffins << it makes perfect sense if you consider it for the communicatioon exercise it actually is.
asciilifeform: actually it is quite like the zombie plague
mircea_popescu: what';s better than a large pile of symbolically meaningful items.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Indeed
asciilifeform: in that, before final resting place, you get to amble about and infect.
xanthyos: ethanol prices go up because corn is used to make coffins from biodegreadeable vegetable cellulose
BingoBoingo: Also look how far people travel in their last days
asciilifeform: the more developed a welfare state, the juicier a target it will appear to these travellers.
asciilifeform: if there is an 'x' such that 'if only i can make it to x, i might live' - that's where they'll go.
BingoBoingo: Surprised moiety isn't returned asking for obola asylum in Australia
nubbins`: if only i can make it to terminus
xanthyos: heh i was thinking terminus as wel
xanthyos: :/
nubbins`: <joecool> kyrio: hm, i had it in wikipedia for awhile that Seal's face was mauled by dogs as a child, stayed up for a year or so

In imagination, I saw my name over the door and myself in a fine glass office looking out and watching clerks taking in money. I had, in anticipation, the thrill of buying one store after another and going from town to town on tours of inspection. I tickled my fancy with the idea of
