asciilifeform: <mircea_popescu> other than that, aglass of water is a computational machine << in the same sense as a fart, or even two electrons whizzing by in vacuum, are a computing machine. us earthlings are interested, for this reason, in -programmable- computators.
asciilifeform: <mircea_popescu> usg.nsa loves "virtualization", but it's by no means the only way to skin that cube << the only reason why they so easily sell this flavour of snake oil is that virtualizator gets you 'cpu cycles by the pound' and buckets of little arm boxes - don't (why not? because we never actually invented parallel processing or, especially, process migration. apparently. at least, unix world did not.)
asciilifeform: <jurov> maybe the only difference is computer science was constructed from mathematical (or not very mathematical, like strings) ideas ... << the notion that computing machines, as presently constructed, have some direct connection with what maths folks did in the 1930s is nebulous at best. even if commonly believed

danielpbarron: hello! I had invited you in the past but I think this is your first time?
EllieAsksWhy: Daniel, am I driving everyone away by my presence? That happens in NRx Jackal Hour too :)

EllieAsksWhy: Oh, on reddit, both the Dark Enlightenment and buttcoin sub-reddits, there are sarcastic/funny named bots that do silly things that make me laugh. Even though they are automated, the incongruity always amuses me.
danielpbarron: assbot keeps the harmony
EllieAsksWhy: I initially knew Web of Trust as the Finnish company mywot which has totally gone to hell since someone bought them out a year ago. Your Web of Trust is more like the real one, that proceeded mywot by over a decade, right? ☟︎

EllieAsksWhy: I
EllieAsksWhy: The real one is not mywot.com
EllieAsksWhy: The real one is PGP from MIT.
EllieAsksWhy: There is also a Web of Trust that is a Canadian accounting auditing certification, not a professional certification but an audit standard of some sort. The real Web of Trust is the original one though.
EllieAsksWhy: I'm sorry, I'll try to calm down and be more linear. I have never had the opportunity to actually talk about any of this stuff with anyone. I only read about things on my own. ☟︎
danielpbarron: oh, this WoT isn't from "mywot.com" and it isn't from MIT
asciilifeform: EllieAsksWhy: get in wot (the actual wot). this way you can come back, e.g., tomorrow, and we will have some reason to think that we are speaking with an invariant actual human being
EllieAsksWhy: Yes, Adlai, reddit is inferior to IRC. reddit has an IRC but I haven't used it. I don't trust Facebook. I don't use it, and like to say that it steals your soul. I sort of kind of believe that, in a casual sense, not a real one. It would be blasphemous to suggest it was really true!
danielpbarron: it should be possible to change what key is associated with your nickname, for when you stop using keybase
danielpbarron: or just find a new thing right now. what operating system are you running?

davout: mircea_popescu: nfi
davout: williamdunne: some dudes made some code for a matching engine, not really noteworthy
davout: also they claim to have sunk $100k in the development, but somehow they're opensourcing it now, because incorporating somewhere else than russia isn't practical...
davout: williamdunne: weren't you saying you were making one yourself?
jurov: hi davout, you wanted to ask about mailing list?
davout: jurov: yea, i subscribed a few times but never received a confirmation
Naphex: williamdunne: what davout said. C# is a disadvantage though. You'd have to be crazy to run trading infrastructure on windows sesrvers
Naphex: servers *
davout: Naphex: there's this mono thing by miguel de icaza iirc, no idea if it's still a thing tho
williamdunne: Naphex: Run it in mono most likely
williamdunne: davout: I thought some of the structure was pretty cool with the Elixir message queue
mircea_popescu: <davout> williamdunne: some dudes made some code for a matching engine, not really noteworthy << actually it's the most oversupplied intem in stock.
mircea_popescu: in the bitcoin space, "matching engines" are the equivalent of crusted socks in adolescent boys' bedrooms.
williamdunne: nice
mircea_popescu: so many of them, made with an apparent firm conviction that somehow they'll bring recognition...
davout: yep, because you know, what's really needed and important is that they're able to match 1m orders/s instead a meager 10k orders/s
jurov: if someone gave $100k to alf for bitcoind development instead...
mircea_popescu: no, because alf needs actual 100k
mircea_popescu: as opposed to this kind of 100k
jurov: lol true
williamdunne: davout: Isn't the point that the in-theory number is about an order of magnitude higher than what it can handle when in actual use
Naphex: williamdunne: anyway trading engines are not that hard to write, they do require some experience to get right.
jurov: "measured in orders/s P.M.P.O"
davout: williamdunne: not really, if the theoretical number is that different from the actual one, you have a problem
Naphex: williamdunne: the good option is to hire the right people and develop an engine according to your infrastrucutre and needs
williamdunne: davout: Well for example, the Java one that I wrote can match 160k/s when pumping in random data directly. But when we add the overheads for actually accepting and handling orders from customers it will not do close to that
Naphex: williamdunne: you aren't doing 'real-matching'. those stats aren't really saying much
williamdunne: Naphex: True
davout: williamdunne: why? the matching engine should be the only single-threaded bottleneck
davout: you can spread order acceptation, and trade settlement, just not the matching
Naphex: williamdunne: and with binary insert it can do a lot more then tha
davout: and if you can't there's really not that much point in writing something really fast
williamdunne: Naphex: True, I still need to take a proper look at that
williamdunne: Naphex: Still don't understand how to handle the order of the maps though
williamdunne: davout: Haven't looked to much at the architecture of that yet, but you're right

davout: "Are you sure the reason you assume the admin was correct is because the admin was paid, and not because of the genders of the involved parties?"
mircea_popescu: heh.

mircea_popescu: grinder has a shortage of dicks ?!
BingoBoingo: Prolly
mircea_popescu: da fuck is it anyway
mircea_popescu goes to look at this wonder
BingoBoingo: Grindr's the one dicks use to find nearby dicks
davout: and now, hearn and him are stuck derping at how micro-payments and smart contracts would have prevented the whole thing
davout: obviously hearn concludes that it's really necessary to push the block size

mircea_popescu: "No thanks. I'll keep using my card. It has way too many benefits not to. I'll switch to Bitcoin when it's easier to use, offers buyer protection and has more benefits than cc's. Which won't be anytime soon." << funny how dynamic equilibrium perceived as static works.
mircea_popescu: dude proceeds from this locus where no matter what, he will keep on getting money on his govt issued card.
mircea_popescu: because no matter what, govt will keep getting that money, and keep seeing him as a worthy expense.
mircea_popescu: no matter what
mircea_popescu: no matt...
mircea_popescu: bitcoin doesn't take over through convincing random fuckwit of "more benefits". bitcoin takes over by raping the state. permanently.
mircea_popescu: then OboombaIII is more than welcome to use all his cards for all the benefits he wants, whatever they may be. it won't be food, but hey, a rich life of the mind doth not require material contraptions.
williamdunne: bitcoin doesn't take over through convincing random fuckwit of "more benefits". bitcoin takes over by raping the state. permanently. <<< See, I totally agree with this. But this is why I think that there should be bigger blocks (not Gavin's proposal, but statically bigger). Easier to rape the state surely if its less inconvenient and more people can do so
mircea_popescu: im not sure how the logic worked there.
williamdunne: More = More basically
williamdunne: More people = More raping and pillaging
mircea_popescu: more lice = better health.

williamdunne: Because if more people are able to keep their funds away from government tendrils, it seems like it would do more damage than a few. While a few people have a lot of money to hide, a lot of people can be turned against them (i.e "evil tax avoiders") and violence works
mircea_popescu: if violence worked, the situation wouldn't be stable currently.
mircea_popescu: what was it, 1% of world pop owns 50% of assets or what ?
mircea_popescu: besides, a little bit of violence would go a very long way towards resolving most of the western problems currently.
williamdunne: Well yeah, but the violence I'm describing is going against the people who shouldn't be receiving it
mircea_popescu: the thing with violence is that it's pretty self-explainatory.
mircea_popescu: if you're receiving it, you should have been.
williamdunne: How so?
mircea_popescu: what do you mean how so ?
williamdunne: Well there are lots of instances of violence where the people committing it should have been on the receiving end

williamdunne: mircea_popescu: I think its fair to say holocaust is bad
mircea_popescu: williamdunne but these aren't involved third parties. so the burned jews are too dead to say, and the burning germans are also too dead to say. at the time however it stands to reason the victims all agreed they shouldn't be victims, and the perpetrator agreed on the contrary pov.

assbot: Logged on 27-04-2015 10:29:33; mircea_popescu: because nobody knows about computer parts quite like the people doing procurement for a datacenter. so if you run your own metal and sublet to people, you're in the best position to learn these exactly.
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: So the violence was just? Sorry I'm struggling to follow.
mircea_popescu: violence is always just by its own measure. that's what violence is.
asciilifeform: for instance, i regard experience with intel boxes as entirely irrelevant to what a hypothetical proper 'sommelier' would do.
mircea_popescu: you might not agree, but it doth not ask you.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform how would you achieve this regard other than through experience ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: very much through experience. but i do not know if anyone actually has this kind of experience.
jurov: i have seen numerous people stick to one thing only "because of experience"
asciilifeform: and data center procurement is the last place i'd expect to find it.
mircea_popescu: you similarly don't expect to find experience with cars and car parts at the mechanic's ?
asciilifeform: these folks can speak for cost - yes, reliability - sometimes, sure
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: So if I were to beat you, it would be just for violence's sake?
asciilifeform: but patrons of 'sommelier' are presumably interested in something more
mircea_popescu: williamdunne if you manage it, you've managed it, right ?
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: But I don't see how that makes it just
mircea_popescu: well, "just" only exists in a certain context. in the context of violence itself, there's no space for more functions than "DidItHappen()" which returns a bool.
jurov: mircea_popescu: you ever asked multiple automechanics which car is the most reliable?
mircea_popescu: if you construct more complex spaces you get "WasItGood()" and "ShouldItHaveHappened()" etc, but now you are also stuck with the complexity.
jurov: it's usually 2 people 3 answers situation
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i would have approached from different angle, and suggested that sommelier must have actual understanding of how the damn thing works. as well as a certain amount of reverse-engineering capability.
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Ah okay, right. That make more sense
mircea_popescu: jurov ayup.
williamdunne: I was more meaning morality
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah but yu're a deductive nut. whereas the job of a sommelier is ipso definitio inductive.
mircea_popescu: no sommelier "deduces" what the better wine is on the basis of watching winemaking videos or some shit
mircea_popescu: williamdunne so how do you enact that morality ?
jurov: well, imagine how would it work. i'll buy 10 kinds of various crap, observe for years how it behaves
mircea_popescu: hopefully something more substantial than "most people agree"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the data center thing would be ideal, i agree, if anyone actually ran amd-only data centers
jurov: and in the meantime they are not manufactured anymore
asciilifeform: and jurov has it
mircea_popescu: jurov yeh that's a problem.
asciilifeform: even u.s. dod (pentagon) thought this was a problem.
asciilifeform: attempted to solve, even.
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Well thats hard to summarize with a formulae as its relative. Normally I would favour the person who was most productive prior to said violence
williamdunne: But its murky at best
mircea_popescu: this "most productive" approach is how you got eminent domain.
asciilifeform: i must confess that i have a rather pessimistic view of the sommelier thing because the feedstock is already mind-bogglingly scarce, and the market has been flooded with crud for long enough that -everyone with serious experience has the bulk of his serious experience with crud- ☟︎
mircea_popescu: anyway, violence has the marked ethical advantage that it removes people from the goop where they imagine they are in control of their environmenty and the future.
mircea_popescu: makes for much more pleasant people.
williamdunne: I'll agree with that one
mircea_popescu: one of those nimby problems : violence is not only great, in the general, but sorely needed for functioning society.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, nobody wishes it in his own yard.
mircea_popescu: and so california is running out of water because while population doubled, water works have not been allowed to go forward ; and the us is ethically collapsing because hey... no useful violence to be had.
mircea_popescu: the police are trying to compensate, what with the random raping of middle class derps, but it's really a toothpick in a levy breach
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: I don't think they are actively trying to compensate, just a side effect

Alfalfa... for export to China as livestock fodder...

nubbins`: asciilifeform silkscreening is silkscreening, the only major differences are (a) the emulsion spread on screens to hold images, and (b) the inks
davout: jurov: affirm
nubbins`: i could silkscreen PCBs with this setup if i was OK with the fumes and caustic chems
BingoBoingo: <nubbins`> let's feed all our clean water to alfalfa plants so we can ship them overseash << But It's the only way to get some of these shipping containers back to China in a manner other than empty!
mircea_popescu: Adlai how good is that hypothesis in your eyes ?
nubbins`: BingoBoingo you mean the redditards haven't turned them all into "sweet $2,000 off-grid houses" yet?
asciilifeform: nubbins`: silkscreen for pcb looks quite like this also. paste press is a somewhat different item, applies substance with consistency of toothpaste
jurov: davout it was received, sent, archived.. what else did you expect?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Still vegetables, but... Not as many.
davout: jurov: george clooney, some nespresso
nubbins`: asciilifeform the white inks i use are somewhere between dried toothpaste and drywall compound in consistency

jurov hands davout hipster decaf coffe with non-dairy creamer sweetened by stevia
mircea_popescu: stevia is a sweetener ?!
nubbins`: mircea_popescu imagine hey?
asciilifeform: nubbins`: solderpaste is even less fun, because actually is a suspension of metal balls. and if you misapply it, you get defects
Adlai: mircea_popescu: there's some truth to it (pretty awesome owning both sides of the lake!) but it seems like an overly narrow version of "it's just tribal hysteresia that hasn't yet settled"
mircea_popescu: it's just slightly bitter wtf.

nubbins`: we have some metallic inks that require ~80 threads per inch
nubbins`: normal screens for paper printing: 305tpi
mircea_popescu: Adlai i for one believe it's driven by women. specifically : the arabs understand voicing women is a problem and don't understand how to fix it, whereas the jews/xtians/other european colonists don't understand voicing women is a problem.
punkman: mircea_popescu: stevia extract is pretty sweet
punkman: I hate it though
nubbins`: ever since that episode of Breaking Bad?
Adlai: well it's tricky, because (arabs != muslims != those in conflict) with (jews != israelis != zionists)
mircea_popescu: sure. but the groups are broadly arabs / jews+euros.
mircea_popescu: different degrees of heat.
Adlai: there is such a thing as "arab jews", they'll just stab you if you call them that
Adlai: they make up a large part of israel's population
nubbins`: guy's got a point
mircea_popescu: what do they self identify as ?
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Whats wrong with voicing women?
Adlai: "sepharadic" jews
mircea_popescu: williamdunne they favour "safety", and tend to misunderstand it.
mircea_popescu: ahahahaha... Adlai cruisin' for a bruisin' online lawl
Adlai: from "spharad" = spain, where they got kicked out from by the inquisitors, picked up some arab culture and genes for a few centuries, then immigrated here during the last
williamdunne: But there is nothing wrong with voicing women who are risk tolerant?
mircea_popescu: williamdunne what's "risk tolerant" ?
williamdunne: Able to handle risk, i.e doesn't favour safety
nubbins`: lel.
mircea_popescu: women are very risk tolerant, by nature.
mircea_popescu: they'll get pregnant, for one.
nubbins`: oh man, only 4 days til the creature moves out
nubbins`: caught a rare glimpse of him today
mircea_popescu: that doesn't directly relate to the totally nutso things they do with their children. find one woman that considers a plain "don't worry about this one, you can make another" as an adequate condoleance over her dead baby.
williamdunne: Isn't that de-risking in their opinion? An attempt to secure a spouse?
mircea_popescu: nah, just, protective parenting.
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 33500 @ 0.00029867 = 10.0054 BTC [-]
asciilifeform: is this not because 'can make another' is not entirely a given? expensive operation (per yesterday's thread)
mircea_popescu: so it is.
mircea_popescu: the problem is that an overly protective attitude towards children ruins them.
mircea_popescu: this worked fine back when the species was powerless, because nobody really cared what women derped about.
mircea_popescu: as we've become powerful, they've suddenly got a major problem. much worse than teh nuclear bomb, really.
asciilifeform: !s social osteoporosis
assbot: 2 results for 'social osteoporosis' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=social+osteoporosis
mircea_popescu: aptly named.
mircea_popescu: kinda why the public discourse in natoland is so female centric these days btw. it's not some evil conspiracy against men, it's just, we've managed to dig out a very gendered problem and the bitchez are stuck trying to fix it.
nubbins`: asciilifeform after looking at some solder paste press setups, yeah, you could 100% do this in my basement

nubbins`: almost certainly w/o even changing any of the chems or supplies

davout: basically that women pretty much count a new child as "existing" as soon as they can feel it in their flesh, whereas men must wait to see the baby
mircea_popescu: !up Swadq
mircea_popescu: i guess that's a point.

nubbins`: "got a chance to look at a bunch up close in a gallery in hawaii, the ink was caked on and cracked all over. He used a bunch of different printers. the actual production of the art was no biggie, he just found images with halftones already and blew them up in a camera, or if he took the polaroids when he was doing all the portraits, he added a halftone small, then blew them up to make them go ratty. rubies were cut (or stencils) for b/g,
nubbins`: and many times the printers were just given a bunch of colours and combos to work through."
mircea_popescu: basically more of the same "warhol is this whore who made a lot of money and we being from america think this is art"

mircea_popescu: hey, he knew his market.
nubbins`: ayup
nubbins`: silkscreen's this weird thing
nubbins`: it's a difficult skill to master, really difficult
nubbins`: if you ever wonder why "grunge texture" got so popular in gig posters and silkscreened art prints
nubbins`: it's because the creators didn't know wtf they were doing and were unable to pull clean prints
mircea_popescu: lol
nubbins`: so they added "grunge texture" in photoshop to cover up their shit technique
mircea_popescu: INDUSTRY STANDARD
nubbins`: "now you can' tell if it's because it's on purpose, or because my mesh hasnt been changed in 5 years so it's noisy and has zero tension"
nubbins`: not bragging or anything but i've never seen any silkscreen prints that are better than my own

mircea_popescu: Police meanwhile announced they had received a "credible threat" that several known criminal gangs in Baltimore had "entered into a partnership to 'take out' law enforcement officers." << check it out
mircea_popescu: inception or w/e it's called.
trinque: I was wondering how long that'd take.

asciilifeform playing with 'cpanel' for the first time, struggles to understand wtf is the point of it
williamdunne: asciilifeform: Makes things easier for those terrified of a terminal
trinque: scared of driving? here have a blindfold
asciilifeform wonders if it can be uninstalled
mircea_popescu: dude stop fixing things that work. you wanna do something, make gentoo work as smoothly as cpanel.
asciilifeform: aside from the guilicious dripping braindamage candy of it, i just logged into a www-based (https with self-signed cert) thing that has full control over $box
asciilifeform: any idiot could have owned it then.
asciilifeform: (idiot sitting between me and the antipode of planet where thing lives)
mircea_popescu: myeah. that's nothing : at some point servers were owned through an actual cpanel update.
asciilifeform: l0l
mircea_popescu: but hey. until you make a working gentoo...
asciilifeform: goddammnit my gentoo works
mircea_popescu: that's the problem. yours does.
asciilifeform: 'until you make a working boeing' 'my boeing flies' 'the problem - yours does'
mircea_popescu: ayup.
mircea_popescu: every 15yo can run a cpanel site.
asciilifeform: an 'automated' gentoo is of the same kind of misguided animal as graphical pgp
williamdunne: 15 year old using terminal master-race
jurov: iirc i broke cpanel as quickly as you did gentoo
mircea_popescu: i'd settle for a well documented and judiciously defaulted gentoo. ☟︎
trinque: asciilifeform: naw, if I was setting up 200 of these things, I'd want a process other than manual lever pulling
trinque: you can do an image, but say the build's different between them
mircea_popescu: trinque his box works!
trinque: my mistake
trinque: needs a genbootstrap
asciilifeform: trinque: 200 of them - bitwise image, identical disks
asciilifeform: change variables later.
mircea_popescu: stop being male.
asciilifeform: they sell cradles where you can mount N disks at once and image. since '90 or so
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: my dulap broke
mircea_popescu: prolly cuz it had no cpanel.
jurov: ;;ud dulap
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=dulap | pronounced: "doo-lap" -noun 1. the soft area of skin between the chin and neck. " Man, I got her dulap so good today at lunch!" by JourneeLee March 14, 2007.

asciilifeform: famous u.s. gulag there since when, '04 ?
mircea_popescu: iirc closed down in 07ish
mircea_popescu: and im pretty sure he wouldn't have taken another decision. it was openly discussed at the time that the americans are scum, but the country wnated the eu membership.
asciilifeform: can't join eu without joining nato ?
mircea_popescu: it was already in nato (since 2004ish lol)
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: The zoo in Baltimore affecting your weather at all?
