02:30 dulapbot Logged on 2022-03-07 18:09:30 asciilifeform: the division of labour thing is a two-edged blade. some people very much specialists in ~taking~
02:34 signpost I agree that bankers are a criminal class.
02:35 signpost includes "investment" bankers, and all adjacent professions.
02:49 verisimilitude http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2022-03-07#1083171 I know what they are, but it still impresses me to see people so skilled at wading in shit. It's an interesting read, junk food for the mind.

02:51 verisimilitude ``The Linux kernel has more tricks: the sendfile() system call allows an application to send file contents into a socket without a roundtrip to userspace (an optimization popular in web servers serving static files over HTTP).''
02:51 verisimilitude They'll add things like this, but never truly generalize it beyond their immediate needs.
02:52 verisimilitude No, they'll only make incremental changes.
02:59 verisimilitude Of course uninitialized memory plays a part in this.
03:00 verisimilitude They can't make it simple, because then it would be slow, and they can't change the model, because they don't want this.

03:31 verisimilitude Hey, asciilifeform, it looks like I need to use System.Storage_Elements.Storage_Array if I want my UDP binding and UDP interface over that to use the same array type without explicitly referencing each other. There's no standard array type of Interfaces.Unsigned_8 to use. I'd welcome advice.
03:32 verisimilitude I could define these types in another package, but I dislike that solution.

03:42 signpost was prompting you to say more about what network issue you wanted help solving.
03:44 signpost http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2022-03-04#1082448 << we may leave this thread closed, but the purpose of the forum is to challenge and defend.
03:44 dulapbot Logged on 2022-03-04 12:38:49 verisimilitude: No, what's insulting is how signpost has treated me as a conversation partner, billymg.
03:46 signpost you might've raised "look at muslim inbreeding" habits for example, or any number of objections. vicious debate is the sound of the group world model updating itself.
03:47 signpost at any rate, something to think about.
03:47 signpost *inbreeding habits"
03:49 * signpost invites digging in the logs for threads where I was on the receiving end of a thrashing, to great benefit.
03:50 signpost crtdaydreams: so explain your networking problem.
03:52 signpost http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2022-03-04#1082505 << I would gladly buy you a drink or three if you have reason to be in Austin, and will let you know if I'm ever near Mordor.

04:00 verisimilitude I've spent too many keypresses on arguments about which I didn't really care, signpost.

06:12 verisimilitude It works nicely.

06:14 verisimilitude Writing this code was unnecessarily difficult. I shouldn't've had to think about it much at all.

13:12 whaack asciilifeform: what block # is cement patch at?
~ 15 minutes ~
13:27 whaack so i'm about to build trb up to asciilifeform's cement patch to start the sync process in my new rack in NZ, and it's a headache to run around different blogs collecting various vpatches, i think that my next project will be a copy of http://btcbase.org/patches , except with a hopper . i wonder if anyone thinks that perhaps the search-all-blogs for various vpatches is a feature and not a bug,
13:27 whaack maybe there is some benefit of forcing v operators to know the author of the code well enough to be able ot put together the v trees
~ 1 hours 10 minutes ~
14:38 billymg whaack: imo it's the end user's responsibility to know what they're running. and jumping from blog to blog collecting patches doesn't guarantee they'll read a single word written about the patches anyway, it's just added friction
14:39 billymg perhaps your patch viewer could have a page that lists in-wot blogs, so that if one wants to reference the author's writings, they can
14:41 billymg or the author, when using the hopper to submit a signed patch, could be given a url field, to include a link to the specific article describing the patch, if there is one
14:41 billymg and then in the interface this could be accessible somehow when viewing the list of patches
14:44 asciilifeform http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2022-03-08#1083236 << 581k+ atm

14:56 billymg asciilifeform: just remembered, did you ever end up sending out that RK? i don't think i received it at the address i gave
~ 52 minutes ~
15:49 asciilifeform goddammit apparently both rk's still here ( asciilifeform could've sworn he had them taken to post office! but nope! they're at the bottom of the fucking hopper )
15:49 asciilifeform billymg & dpb invited to laff at asciilifeform
15:49 * asciilifeform will get'em out personally this wk. billymg , dpb , plox to gpggram if your addrs have changed!
15:56 PeterL aha, what a loser! (j/k)
16:00 * asciilifeform up to nose in ocean of commercial liquishit atm
~ 53 minutes ~
16:53 billymg asciilifeform: ty, i do have another one. will gpg shortly
~ 1 hours 31 minutes ~
18:25 asciilifeform meanwhile, in gox lulz.
~ 17 minutes ~
18:42 whaack billymg: atm the manifest file includes the author's handle as per signpost's spec, so if i keep a registry of handle<->blog domain name, i can automatically populate a link to a patch's author's blog
18:44 PeterL will this be just for trb patches or are you going to collect other projects as well?
18:47 whaack PeterL: All vpatches
18:48 PeterL what happens if somebody doesn't include a manifest file (I don't think there is one in the Blatta patches), or if they don't format it the way you expect?
18:54 whaack PeterL: this would be a reason to manually enter the handles / blogs
18:55 billymg whaack: i meant something at the individual patch <-> article level as well
18:55 whaack atm i think the best idea is to have the hopper contain a list of the public keys of the handles that it accepts patches from
18:57 whaack then there would be some (perhaps webform) for submitting the vpatch + seal combo, it would check to make sure the seal comes from a handle in the list, and then it would register the patch and link to the handle's blog (should one be provided)
18:58 PeterL It shouldn't be hard to add a field for a blog article link to the submission page
18:59 whaack billymg: The form for submitting the vpatch could provide a field for an article url, or it could be custom to include a link to a related article inside the manifest file (but this may have problems with linkrot and blog domain name migrations)
19:00 billymg whaack: linkrot will always be an issue. if author changes his link, could he resubmit the same patch/sig but fill in a different url?
19:02 billymg it's still sad seeing domains that i thought would stick around forever, like cascadianhacker, esthlos, and bvt, disappear
19:03 whaack billymg: that's one option. one problem i see thought: i want anyone to be able to submit vpatches into the hoppper (not just the author) , this way the hopper has a greedy-collection and can keep patches of those who do not themselves submit to it or use it, but there can be an issue with people hijacking the author's blog link
19:03 PeterL also presents chicken/egg problem, do you bake the vpach and then write an article including it, or do you write an article and then put the link in the vpatch? I think the vpatch should come first, and then the article can be written introducing it
19:03 billymg aha, i.e. valid patch/sig but garbage in the url field
19:04 whaack lol yeah the url field becomes OpenSea
19:04 billymg lol
19:04 billymg i guess the manifest spec could be updated to include an optional url field
19:04 * whaack found out recently that NFTs keep a hash of a URL to OpenSea's website which in turn hosts the img
19:05 billymg but then if url changes... oh well
19:05 whaack billymg: yeah back to the linkrot problem
19:05 whaack this is what i'm imagining right now
19:05 whaack there's an ircbot that you can submit patches to via
19:06 whaack !h (hopper) submit http://ztkfg.com/codeshelf/my_genesis.vpatch http://ztkfg.com/codeshelf/my_genesis.sig
19:06 billymg yeah, NFTs are a complete joke
19:06 bitbot (alethepedia) 2021-05-23 billymg: NFTs are more or less colored coins, but on the mETH chain. they point to some URL containing a .png of "artwork"
19:08 whaack !h add-context my_genesis.vpatch http://ztkfg.com/my-genesis-explained.html
19:08 whaack add-context could be hijacked, but if it's on the pest network....
19:09 PeterL maybe have the field, but part of validating it is that the base of the link has to match what is in your database for handle <-> url ? So I can submit somebody else's patch if I provide my own seal and have perterl.xyz/article, but keeps people from just dropping in somebody elses patch/seal and
19:09 PeterL putting in the website field spambotsrus.com
19:09 billymg neat, i like it
19:11 billymg ^ referring to whaack's proposed irc interface
19:12 whaack PeterL: not sure I fully understand, why are you providing your own seal from somebody else's patch?
19:12 billymg whaack: could technically require the submitter to complete a challenge, like deedbot, when using add-context. but why add the complexity if non-pest irc is a dead end anyway
19:12 whaack billymg: yeah that was exactly my train of thought
19:13 whaack pest takes care of some of the security concerns for pest-bot interfaces
19:14 whaack PeterL: anyways, seems like an unnecessary restriction, whole point is you want an authority-check to make sure someone you trust is adding the context link, doesn't need to be more strict than that, atm i am pretty satisfied with leaving the auth step to pestnet
19:16 verisimilitude Link to this manifest specification.
19:16 whaack http://trinque.org/2018/06/02/v-manifest-specification/
19:17 PeterL whaack: there are several reasons to do it, could be I only want to run things that I have signed myself, or maybe the author is not in your WOT and I want to submit a patch for them, or just to say I have reviewed the patch
19:18 whaack PeterL: You can submit a patch for anyone
19:20 whaack i may not even add sig checking on the server, if submission is already filtered to those in my pestnet wot, then no reason to have an extra server side check, that's supposed to be done locally anyways
19:20 verisimilitude I struggle to see the need for this, but will read it again.
19:20 whaack verisimilitude: the need for what? the hopper i'm describing? have you not played v-scavenger hunt a few times yet?
19:21 verisimilitude I've not.
19:22 verisimilitude ``Adding and removing the null character from the manifest file in every other patch would work.'' Making an artificial dependency like this seems simpler.
19:22 verisimilitude Rather, if a dependency be needed, simply modify the files regardless.
19:22 verisimilitude Perhaps I misunderstand something.
19:23 whaack so you're talking about the need for the manifest?
19:23 whaack i think this was discussed ad naseum in old logs so i would search around there rather than resurfacing the conversation
19:24 whaack btw i always wanted to write a short article on this http://verisimilitudes.net/2022-03-07 i think i wrote it in my journal once
19:25 whaack at MIT they gave tons of lectures 'you may feel like an impostor, but you're not, you're really great! you are not here because of nepotism'
19:25 asciilifeform lol!
19:25 verisimilitude So, the article was enjoyed?
19:25 whaack yeah
19:25 verisimilitude I'm glad, whaack.
19:26 whaack exploring that 'impostor syndrome' sensation is probably the most important thing for the kids to do there
19:26 whaack this is done at all ivy leagues etc. afaik
19:26 verisimilitude ``I can't be incompetent! It's all in my head!''
19:26 verisimilitude This basic mindset is ruining society.
19:27 verisimilitude I first wrote about it on an anonymous forum, but the discussion died, and I lost my copy of what I'd written. I've ensured that won't happen a second time.
19:29 whaack when do we get the biologist in the wot to confirm articles such as these?
19:32 billymg it's all wamen
19:32 verisimilitude Which ``vaccine'' did asciilifeform take?
19:33 asciilifeform verisimilitude: iirc that one
19:33 verisimilitude It was nice knowing thee, asciilifeform.
19:33 whaack pfizerlifeform
19:34 * asciilifeform considers all the folx who were aiming to die of vaccine, instead under regular old bomb, 'damn'
19:34 billymg this reminds me, asciilifeform, should i interpret this as you concluding the 'vaccine' may have been intended to do more harm than good?
19:34 bitbot Logged on 2022-03-07 21:19:54 asciilifeform: their current effort seems to be to amp up covid per se with 'vaccine'. afaik not working spectacularly tho
19:34 asciilifeform billymg: anecdotally, asciilifeform contracted n-th covidism not long after vaccine, and it was by far worst of 3
19:35 asciilifeform still seems like pretty weak exterminatus sauce tho imho
19:35 * whaack has been social since day1 and no vaccine never had so much as a cold, but i know quite a few non-vaxxers who have got covid
19:35 whaack and apparently there was a breakout at the bitcoin conference
19:36 whaack they give you the mRNG
19:36 billymg anecdotally, i know several people who were vaxxed and then contracted covid, whereas i, never vaxxed / never tested, have yet to succumb to even a sniffle
19:36 asciilifeform billymg: over9000 folx naturally immune
19:36 verisimilitude I may have had it.
19:37 verisimilitude I had the worst cold I've ever had, when 2020 started.
19:37 whaack bbl
19:37 whaack ~45 mins
19:37 billymg this was my point from the beginning
19:37 bitbot Logged on 2021-07-13 18:08:19 billymg: i'm not sure if the vaccine is fake or not but i certainly don't trust them enough to let them stick me with any needles
19:37 bitbot Logged on 2021-07-13 18:13:45 billymg: but i also don't see why i need it when 0.0001% chance of death or whatever for my age/health profile
19:38 * asciilifeform used to get the flu vaccines too, gave up when flu mostly vanished
19:38 * billymg is still waiting to die, as mats prophesized
19:38 bitbot Logged on 2021-07-13 18:14:18 mats: anyway, i don't really give a shit, its a problem that solves itself
19:39 PeterL whaack: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2022-03-08#1083314 << article you linked to is a bit alarmist in delivery, but the study that they link to looks valid
19:39 dulapbot Logged on 2022-03-08 14:29:17 whaack: when do we get the biologist in the wot to confirm articles such as these?
19:40 billymg meat, dairy, sunlight, and exercise. that's all the vaccine you need
19:40 asciilifeform is interesting how folx get used to the obviously and unambiguously lethal . e.g. the sr-90 in errybody's bones since '45
19:40 asciilifeform nobody kicks up fuss about it for, what, half century nao
19:41 asciilifeform tho in theory may acct for some large % of cancers
19:44 PeterL asciilifeform: if we did make fuss, is there a way to remove it?
19:44 asciilifeform not afaik
19:44 PeterL so making fuss doesn't help anything, we just have to ignore it
19:47 * asciilifeform disagrees that 'can't help, so just ignore'. cataloguing the crimes of the reich is important.
19:48 asciilifeform the 1 place where ~anyone~ can defeat the reich is in ~his own head~. and such tidbits play their part in helping to do it.
19:48 verisimilitude I found it, I found it.
19:49 asciilifeform verisimilitude: link tries to install shitware, lol
19:50 PeterL landing page for porn site or something?
19:50 asciilifeform some kinda browser plugin
19:56 billymg verisimilitude: lol, complete with obligatory "i suck at maths lol!" that they learned from reddit or somewhere is a badge of honor and not a failure
19:58 verisimilitude I couldn't tell; I don't enable JavaScript often.
19:59 verisimilitude http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2022-03-08#1083349 I agree with this, and also with crying over spilled milk being pointless. We live in a society that poisons, humiliates, mutilates, and lies to us.
19:59 dulapbot Logged on 2022-03-08 14:46:44 asciilifeform: disagrees that 'can't help, so just ignore'. cataloguing the crimes of the reich is important.
20:03 PeterL just wondering, if Sr-90 accumulates in the bones, should we avoid eating bones (things like broth made with bones in it) to reduce our exposure?
20:07 asciilifeform PeterL: it's a calcium displacer. most folx get their ca not from bones
20:15 verisimilitude http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2022-03-08#1083314 I wonder if every country got the same ``vaccine'' or not.
20:15 dulapbot Logged on 2022-03-08 14:29:17 whaack: when do we get the biologist in the wot to confirm articles such as these?
20:15 verisimilitude I'd rather wager not.
20:23 whaack http://logs.bitdash.io/asciilifeform/2022-03-08#1083340 <-- thanks, i forgot that you work as a chemist (right?) but i don't see how the article i linked being alarmist could be considered a critique. if the study is valid, then isn't the correct tone to "sound the alarm"?
20:23 bitbot Logged on 2022-03-08 19:39:08 PeterL: whaack: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2022-03-08#1083314 << article you linked to is a bit alarmist in delivery, but the study that they link to looks valid
20:23 dulapbot Logged on 2022-03-08 14:29:17 whaack: when do we get the biologist in the wot to confirm articles such as these?
20:25 verisimilitude The alarm is supposed to be sounded before the rubicon, whaack.
20:26 PeterL whaack: yes, I am chemist. I just think the tone in the paper is rather subdued, sort of a "we noticed this happening, more research need", whereas the article you linked blows it way out of proportion "everybody has been lying to you, the sky is falling! It's all Biden's Fault"
~ 39 minutes ~
21:06 signpost PeterL: if more research confirmed that the vaccine is indeed altering our DNA, then what would you say?
21:06 signpost this urge to default to the "anyone concerned is crazy" interpretation is also irrational.
21:08 signpost I wrote on the desensitization and submission process being used.
21:09 * signpost expects we're about 3mos from "of course it was a gene therapy; plebs wouldn't have taken if we told the truth"
21:11 signpost can also be true, of course, that this is an accident, *and* the propaganda machine is trying to cover their asses.
21:14 * signpost is pretty amused that the docs that leaked out of DARPA confirmed that the covid virus was an experimental vaccination platform for bats, and discussion of this disappeared just as quickly.
21:15 signpost first "alarmist, tin-foil, etc", then "exaggerated", then "of course we did" if it cannot be removed from discussion.
21:16 signpost ftr, if such a thing worked, would be pretty cool. could innoculate the reservoirs of many diseases. but oops, not smart enough to do it yet.
21:17 PeterL signpost: I guess the question I would ask is if the modification of the DNA is detrimental? It could be modifying and nothing happens, or it could cause a sudden onset of cancer, would be nice to know which to expect.
21:19 PeterL After seeing the article, if you have not had the vaccine yet I think it would be prudent to wait longer to see if more information comes forth (or if you are even going to need it), certainly I don't mean to say their conclusions should be ignored
21:19 * signpost would also like to know, and has no prediction of effects. worthwhile however to point out the way the "narrative" is shifted on these.
21:21 PeterL if people hadn't started dieing from Covid, would they just have continued experimenting with the bats without telling anybody?
21:21 signpost also would admit that the desire to live in a society which says when these happen, "yep, we just had a terrible failure at a lab which was meant to prevent a sars-like worldwide plague, and caused one instead"
21:21 signpost *is naive in present context
21:22 signpost PeterL: yeah, my sense is that the creatures like daszak and fauci escalate until they hit a wall.
21:25 verisimilitude I saw this recently.
21:25 verisimilitude It doesn't affect me, so I don't yet know what to think of it.
21:27 verisimilitude I'd claim hopelessness from the last three years, but I've been hopeless for longer. Hope is an evil.
21:28 billymg signpost: i liked that article btw
21:28 signpost billymg: ty
21:29 signpost verisimilitude: I agree. it's a vestige of prayer, the belief that reality responds to pleas.
21:29 signpost root of all human delusion, without exaggeration.
21:31 verisimilitude Hope was in Pandora's box.
21:32 billymg a similar concept was discussed in "dissident right twitter" a few years ago. how media narratives shift seamlessly over time from "that could never happen" to "that's not happening, but it should" to "it is happening, and here's why that's a good thing"
21:32 verisimilitude ``and that's a good thing''
21:32 signpost isn't even an unhappy thing. reality may be impacted by what local, immediate causes I inflict upon it, but never magically.
21:33 signpost and also, I myself am vastly more (and I would argue entirely) a product of what'd be called "external" causes if we're still pretending to mind/body dualism, which I don't.
21:34 signpost billymg: yep, definitely not the first guy to point at the thing.
21:34 signpost it's just the aggregate of the dominance games of liars.

21:34 dulapbot (trilema) 2014-06-03 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the buggers' traditional defense is to pretend that the event was a non-event - or, if this is impractical, to continue living in an imaginary world where they 'scooped' the story first, and all of the 'unsanctioned' discussion never happened.
21:34 verisimilitude I'm the product of my times, in interests, work, and most everything else.
21:35 signpost asciilifeform: yep, meanwhile the captive "intellectuals" end up claiming they were always in on the lie, and amplify the "this is actually good" chorus.
21:36 signpost verisimilitude: mhm, and great liberation in this, as it means one can easily change by changing their inputs.
21:36 signpost can go read the ancients, or haet speech by that nazi heidegger whom I love, or w/e else.
21:36 asciilifeform signpost: moreover, asciilifeform suspects that the leak in question was a trimmed-down hangout, in that no mention of the already-set stage for the play that was to be put in in the lizard theatre even before virus was on hand
21:36 asciilifeform *put on
21:37 verisimilitude I used to think of it like this: I will always behave the same if given the same stimulation, so there must be something inherent within me, but it's also the environment that influences what I'll study, and create.
21:37 asciilifeform verisimilitude: most folx have a memory, i.e. dun 'behave same with same stimulation later'
21:38 signpost asciilifeform: yeah, the veritas thing having come from .mil contained a statement from the author which... I shit thee not, "good patriots inside .mil are fighting the good fight" etc
21:38 signpost yawn
21:38 asciilifeform signpost: quality / attn to detail evaporated from reich fakes loong ago
21:38 verisimilitude I mean over life, asciilifeform.
21:39 asciilifeform (why put in the effort, if there's no risk of actual debate)
21:39 verisimilitude Memory is part of it.
21:39 signpost asciilifeform: you could almost hear eddie van halen playing the top gun theme as he read the thing, lol
21:40 asciilifeform http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2022-03-08#1083372 << the 'saving grace' is that reich tech ~dunwork worth a shit.

21:40 verisimilitude I recall well the horror at everyone around me discussing QAnon and how the elites were secretly being arrested.
21:41 * asciilifeform slaved in a usg .mil biowa^H^Hdefense lab for yrs where three dozen (mostly) coolies couldn't get e.coli to secrete fairly lightweight enzyme
21:42 signpost yeah, I figure they oops, accidentally maim a few hundred thousand people, passes in the night.
21:42 signpost couple mil perhaps.
21:42 signpost who will notice among the symptoms the inmates already had.
21:43 asciilifeform signpost: as asciilifeform pictures it, the order was for a virus with some respectable 'bite'; instead delivered sumthing with approx same lethality as punch in the stomach, so had to theatrically improvise much of the 'mega-exterminatus'
21:44 asciilifeform rather like how great aerial victories by ukrs currently being 'filmed' via screencap of 'call of duty' and aired as reich 'news'
21:44 PeterL "but look, see how many thousands of people died!" "How many would have died without virus?" "Umm, that's not important to the story"
21:45 signpost if anything the past few years proved to them how little budget they need to allocate to the fear porn, which is timely luck for them.
21:45 asciilifeform 'dun ask how many died from shuttered onco clinics, or are you a terrorist?'
21:45 verisimilitude Expand ``onco''.
21:45 signpost oncology
21:45 verisimilitude Oh.
21:45 asciilifeform 'check back in 6mo if yer still alive'
21:46 asciilifeform plenty of this, and the victims generally written up as 'covid death'
21:46 PeterL the other day I was trying to find estimates of damage done in Ukr-Rus conflict, Ukrainians claim 14,000 Russians killed, Russians claim 500. Who to believe?
21:47 asciilifeform PeterL: yer unlikely to see a honest count. we still dun have one for e.g. spanish civil war.
21:47 * signpost has a sister that shattered a bone, and a brother in law that won much respect from me by smooth-talking his way into an ER for her.

21:48 PeterL asciilifeform: I was not really expecting an accurate number, but I thought it was interesting how the numbers could disagree by orders of magnitude
21:48 asciilifeform PeterL: very easily, see orwell
21:48 PeterL Ministry of Truth working overtime these days?
21:49 signpost both sides want to hear they are doing well. who is going to question
21:49 asciilifeform PeterL: not even so simple to count e.g. burning tanks , even if yer there, they're ~identical in appearance aside from some chalk marks
21:49 PeterL true
21:49 asciilifeform most folx will learn 'who won' when they buy a new atlas coupla yrs later. if that.
21:49 signpost I dunno any thinking person believes ukr will not be annexed, either in name or effect.
21:49 asciilifeform ( until nixon in reich Official truth was 'taiwan won' lol )
21:50 asciilifeform these folx not even recognized e.g. ussr until '30s !
21:50 asciilifeform 'this unhappened, shuddup terrorist'
21:50 PeterL signpost: you think Putin will swallow the whole thing?
21:50 * signpost would enjoy owning a globe with spheres of influence denoted, rather than countries.
21:51 asciilifeform PeterL: part of reich project starting '14 ~was~ to make him 'swallow whole thing', expensively
21:51 signpost ^
21:52 asciilifeform west ukristan in particular, a gigantic 'baltimore redzone' 'on steroids' fulla perma-raging orcs
21:52 signpost ukr was made to believe nato was behind it, so that it would be destroyed and then create a nearby iraq for putin, is my assumption.
21:53 signpost there are most likely many other reasons this is in the empire's interest.
21:53 asciilifeform signpost: difficult to interpret the '14--present provocations ('let's shell coupla mil folx 24/7') in any other light
21:53 signpost I'm looking forward to what squeaks out about the biolabs, for example.
21:53 signpost before they're unhappened
21:53 asciilifeform signpost: if the leaked docs genuine -- they were 'the usual' usg fare. bubonic plague, smallpox, other classics
21:54 signpost asciilifeform: perhaps pustules they hoped would break open in major conflict.
21:54 asciilifeform likely in coming wks will 'break open' 1 or 2 and blame 'putler'
21:55 signpost mhm
21:55 asciilifeform wainot, right. orcs -- expendable
21:55 * shinohai chuckles at USSA entities like CNN, facebook cutting off Russia, thereby doing them giant favor ....
21:56 asciilifeform crapple, mcd, microshit
21:56 shinohai Well maybe Russia will have less people of WalMart if they aren't eating styroburgers.
21:57 asciilifeform shinohai: funnily enuff these were 'delicacies', ru not developed a 'people of' problem quite yet
21:57 signpost my sense is they don't actually want a divided russia. they want one closed off, and burdened with endless provincial war.
21:57 asciilifeform ( the preferred orcish self-inflicted death is still via cirrhosis, rather than 'beetus' )
21:58 verisimilitude http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2022-03-07#1083183 So no thoughts on this, then?
21:58 dulapbot Logged on 2022-03-07 22:31:09 verisimilitude: Hey, asciilifeform, it looks like I need to use System.Storage_Elements.Storage_Array if I want my UDP binding and UDP interface over that to use the same array type without explicitly referencing each other. There's no standard array type of Interfaces.Unsigned_8 to use. I'd welcome advice.
21:58 signpost I'm not sure where the US expects to obtain rare earths, but at least with oil this makes some sense.
22:00 crtdaydreams billymg: on a completely unrelated note to current thread, I thought you might like this video (if you haven't seen it already) the original must've been taken down.
22:00 asciilifeform verisimilitude: Unsigned_8 from Interfaces. see e.g. in mine, 'type Payload is array(1 .. Payload_Size) of Unsigned_8;'
22:00 asciilifeform verisimilitude: what's difficult there ?
22:00 asciilifeform signpost: from cn, presumably
22:01 signpost crtdaydreams: watch the movie Brazil sometime if it isn't banned in oz.
22:01 signpost asciilifeform: what's your sense of the chinese leading russia down the same path of destruction the west led ukr?
22:01 verisimilitude The true UDP interface I build will ignore the disgusting POSIX bindings in interface, entirely.
22:02 asciilifeform hm verisimilitude i thought you already built ?
22:02 verisimilitude I can't Unchecked_Conversion an array.
22:02 verisimilitude I did.
22:02 verisimilitude The package I've written is POSIX_UDP_Garbage, which will be used in the body of the package I actually want to use.
22:02 billymg crtdaydreams: ty, will look later
22:02 asciilifeform verisimilitude: dun need to unchecked_conversion, use the address trick from cryostat
22:03 billymg http://logs.bitdash.io/asciilifeform/2022-03-08#1083477 << great movie
22:03 bitbot Logged on 2022-03-08 22:01:17 signpost: crtdaydreams: watch the movie Brazil sometime if it isn't banned in oz.
22:03 verisimilitude That's one option, but then POSIX_UDP_Garbage looks worse, not that it matters, I suppose.
22:03 asciilifeform verisimilitude: not having seen yer proggy, hard to say which'd 'look worse'. your call
22:03 verisimilitude I'll find some suitable solution.
22:04 crtdaydreams kek; "A bureaucrat in a dystopic society becomes an enemy of the state as he pursues the woman of his dreams."
22:04 * crtdaydreams will def find a copy and throw on watchlist
22:05 signpost a surrealist 1984, say.
22:07 crtdaydreams signpost: I still haven't ``read'' 1984 per say, it's on the top of my current reading list after picking it back up from books like Dune, Greek Mythology, 4HWW et cetera.
22:08 * crtdaydreams is inclined to review books perhaps on blog
22:08 billymg ok, asciilifeform, signpost: i recall both of you took the vax last year. now it's sounding as though you're more skeptical. did anything change? would you take it again if you were transported back to early 2021?
22:08 signpost what else do you do with 1984 lol
22:09 signpost take it for a walk, wear as hat, fan when hot
22:09 asciilifeform billymg: well at this pt know that it dunwork worth shit
22:09 crtdaydreams signpost: cut a hole in it to store supplies for the apocalypse?
22:10 crtdaydreams idk, I sorta read it then read other books, only coming back to it now. thus ``read'' like 20~ pages
22:10 asciilifeform billymg: not convinced that it's the glorious reich 'smart bomb' as per the 'martian' subculture tho
22:10 dulapbot Logged on 2021-08-08 23:07:16 asciilifeform: adlai: the beauty of it all is that it doesn't matter worth a fuck just HOW obvious the sham is. by so much as implying that yer aware of the sham, you instantly (to mats or other fella who hasn't 'shot the policeman inside his head') placing yourself into the company of the 'martians'.
22:10 billymg asciilifeform: possible some random % of doses were saline. i remember you saying a few times your dose had "no bite"
22:10 asciilifeform billymg: indeed no bite
22:10 signpost billymg: I probably still would've taken the vaccine, as it appears my options are either to synthesize protein spike or the whole virus.
22:10 signpost but yeah, seems ineffective, not actively intentional poison.
22:11 * signpost brb
22:17 billymg fair enough. yeah, i also don't think it'll put 5g magnets in your head or make you sterile or whatever
22:30 crtdaydreams is deedbot written in python?
22:30 signpost no, lisp
22:30 crtdaydreams hm.
22:30 crtdaydreams Just having read errors seems like a urllib3 thing.
22:31 crtdaydreams I was running calls from binance api the other day and kept throwing read errors just for pulling kline data.
22:31 crtdaydreams Ended up with a while, try, break, except, continue loop to mitigate it
22:32 signpost can happen with anything handling a socket. I assume there's something slightly wrong in the cl-irc lib, or my use of it, but hasn't been harmful enough to burn cycles on it.
22:33 crtdaydreams hm
22:33 * crtdaydreams would like to write more lisp

22:37 signpost http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2022-03-08#1083509 << despite this I'm more than a little resentful that - having had covid about 2wks ago - here I sit tired like an old man with a weird salty taste in my mouth
22:37 dulapbot Logged on 2022-03-08 17:17:08 billymg: fair enough. yeah, i also don't think it'll put 5g magnets in your head or make you sterile or whatever
22:37 signpost and this with having had a strong reaction to the "vaccine".
22:38 signpost most likely these effects are temporary, but who knows, and when did I agree to be part of this medical experiment?
22:38 mats my feelings are hurt, friendos
22:38 mats i shot the policeman in my head long ago
22:43 * signpost doesn't consider mats our local representative of the regime, fwiw, though perhaps more crediting of the empire's ability to execute than I am.
22:49 mats It has its moments, credited when due
22:51 billymg i find mats interesting because on one hand he'll share links to vice/newsweek/msnbc etc. with a straight face, but on the other hand he makes convincing points about how czbinance's jurisdictional arbitrage maneuverings will eventually defeat the reich
22:51 mats TPP still ded and some incarnation of it is desperately needed to compete
22:52 mats Dismissing mainstream news because mainstream, when there’s no evidence a particular claim is unverified or untrustworthy, just makes you vulnerable to bullshit
22:52 signpost billymg: well what are we, a cult? gotta all see things exactly the same way?
22:52 * signpost wiggles eyebrows
22:52 mats I’m interested in facts and keeping score
22:53 mats Not some alt right mullet trying to tell me what to think
22:53 billymg signpost: heh, no, i didn't mean "interesting" as in "odd", but more as genuinely interesting
22:53 signpost making jokes over here
22:53 billymg i typically listen to what mats has to say
22:53 billymg even if i roll my eyes at some things
22:53 * signpost bbl, gotta go get gas like it's the 70s
22:53 mats I read the financial papers and left wing reporters because I’m familiar with the manner in which they lie, and it is much less frequent than other sources
22:55 mats Not interested in dismissing msnbc AP Reuters or whomever because of their alignment, not least because they have the dominant narrative and it is important to know what that is
22:55 billymg mats: i like your reporting, i appreciate that someone is willing to wade through that for the occasional insight and then share it here
22:56 * billymg also occasionally reads mainstream, to look for clues of what they're planning by the way they word things
22:57 mats I recommend trying Bloomberg for a while, it’s relatively high quality and affordable with the promotions - and when you get on the pricy regular sub price and try to cancel, they’ll give it to you for like ten bux a month
22:57 mats asia.nikkei also pretty readable, with some anti cn bias but that’s how it is
23:06 billymg still parrots the party line i see. (why not talk of life span inequality!)
23:09 verisimilitude Well, that line isn't conducive to destroying traditional society.
