00:01 mircea_popescu "So, Hariezer is joking about the murder (its made clear later), but WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING? These escalating friendship-tests feel contrived, reciprocity is effective when you don’t make demands immediately, which is why when you get a free sample at the grocery store the person at the counter doesn’t say “did you like that? Buy this juice or we won’t be friends anymore.” This whole conversation feels
00:01 mircea_popescu ham fisted, Hariezer is consistently telling us about all the manipulative tricks they are both using. Its less a conversation and more people who just sat through a shitty marketing seminar trying to try out what they learned. WITH RAPE. "
00:01 mircea_popescu basicaly... these are kids whoise main feature is having sat through a bunch of bad marketing seminars.
00:02 mircea_popescu and
00:02 mircea_popescu conversations between Quirrell/Malfoy/Potter seem to follow scripts of the form
00:02 mircea_popescu "Here is an awesome manipulation I’m using against you"
00:02 mircea_popescu "My, that is an effective manipulation. You are a dangerous man"
00:02 mircea_popescu "I know, but I also know that you are only flattering me as an attempt to manipulate me."
00:02 mircea_popescu "My, what an effective use of Bayesian evidence that is!"
00:02 mircea_popescu etc.
00:02 asciilifeform this is not entirely unlike the 'karate scenes' written by hacks
00:02 mircea_popescu quite.
00:02 mircea_popescu it's funny tho, quotations from bad fanfic, the works.

10:24 nubbins` heh
10:24 nubbins` it was 12C here three days ago
10:24 nubbins` yesterday: snow
10:24 Chillum of course every winter all the homeless from out east come to victoria/vancover to live
10:25 mircea_popescu "Greece no longer has enough money to pay the IMF €498m on April 9, and also to cover payments for salaries and social security on April 14"
10:25 mircea_popescu herp.
10:25 Chillum they have plenty of gold
10:25 nubbins` Chillum and every summer they come back to st john's :D
10:25 nubbins` ah, the seasonal homeless
10:25 mircea_popescu Chillum greece is the main example of a certain way to run a country, which is : make promises to whatever power, then not keep the promises see what it does.
10:25 mircea_popescu italy was run this way pretty much 500ad - 2015 ad.
10:25 Chillum yup. They are handling the global currency collapse in a very tactical manner
10:26 mircea_popescu ocasionally the hre would come over, the local whores (ie, married women) fucked the soldiers raw.
10:26 nubbins` sign a lease, move out a month early and leave 35 bags worth of trash behind
10:26 Chillum we don't give them places to live
10:26 mircea_popescu not even. sign the lease, expect leasor to buy you drinks at the bar, sublet the place to a bunch of other dudes, never pay a dime in rent
10:26 Chillum finding a place to live around here is hard even for a local
10:26 mircea_popescu THEN leave, two months late and leave dead hookers in the matresses.
10:27 Chillum we have almost no vacancies here
10:27 nubbins` vacancy was below 1% here for a while
10:27 nubbins` market's cooling off now
10:27 Chillum If you want a place you basically have to wait for the university to let out, so once a year
10:28 nubbins` or around the new year when all the first-year students flunk out
10:28 nubbins` but who wants to move in winter?
10:28 mircea_popescu “We may have to go into a silent arrears process" << check it out, they have a word for it and everything!
10:28 nubbins` silent arrears
10:28 nubbins` i like that
10:28 mircea_popescu nonono
10:28 nubbins` "we won't tell anyone when the money is gone"
10:28 Chillum is that like a silent fart?
10:28 mircea_popescu you don't understand. A silent arrears PROCESS.
10:28 nubbins` o o o!
10:28 nubbins` my focus was diverted
10:29 mircea_popescu you see ? a! like, there are others, this is just one of a class!
10:29 mircea_popescu and it's a process!
10:29 nubbins` dat process
10:29 mircea_popescu not a state or anything, phenomena baby.
10:29 nubbins` i bet they have a "roadmap"
10:29 mircea_popescu o, obviously.
10:29 nubbins` 1) use all moniez
10:29 mircea_popescu i dunno who the overgrown infants think they're fooling,
10:29 mircea_popescu but it must be someone.
10:29 nubbins` 2) ???
10:29 nubbins` 3) profit!
10:30 mircea_popescu anyway, i kinda like the way this works.
10:30 mircea_popescu basically, in the 70s stupid dudes in government decided to force men to pay for stupid women in the house.
10:30 mircea_popescu the process took a few decades to come to roost, but now stupid countries are behaving comensurate with that.
10:31 mircea_popescu so... i suppose the us, germany and whoever else has money must pay for the house where greece fucks random dudes and "raises the children"
10:31 mircea_popescu it's teh law!
10:31 mircea_popescu and, obviously, the "welfare of the children" is the chief concern.
10:31 mircea_popescu so, payup.
10:31 nubbins` bbl
10:36 mircea_popescu asciilifeform incidentally, this greek stuff is a fine test of the whole array of lizard hitler theory. clearly he couldn't possibly allow this, right ? when's the last time someone defaulted to the britton woods system ? when's the last time a government said fu, we're not going to do what you want us to do so we fail electorally ?

10:40 mircea_popescu http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-04-2015#1086281 << srs, hang people for that ? it's just fucking design.

10:40 Chillum when more complex forms of government fail it always reverts to a simpler form
10:40 Chillum it seems current government and monetary policies seek to be intentionally complex to avoid understanding of it
10:40 mircea_popescu Chillum a) feudalism is the most complex form to date b) democracy hasn't failed, it succeeded. like communism. turns out nobody can stand its final form.

11:04 mircea_popescu not that i'm specifically aware. probably, at least tried.
11:05 cnerd so, nothing serious, i guess? They gave up pretty fast, didnt they?
11:06 mircea_popescu well, it's not so cut and dried. the thing is inequality online is readily misrepresented because things appear for no good reason as very equalitarian. take the much related fetlife debacle (here : https://www.google.com/search?q=trilema+fetlife+butthurt )

11:12 asciilifeform <mircea_popescu> asciilifeform incidentally, this greek stuff is a fine test of the whole array of lizard hitler theory. clearly he couldn't possibly allow this, right ? when's the last time someone defaulted << greece et al are resource-burners. like wherever it was that '30s u.s. farmers burned wheat and poured out milk into latrines. the paper serfdom that results from the eventual 're-creditation' of the delinquent debtors

11:15 asciilifeform 'this cow is great except that it was bombed at guernica and doesn't look much like a cow any more'

11:15 asciilifeform aha.
11:16 mircea_popescu asciilifeform re greece, i see that they're resource burners. that's not the q.
11:16 mircea_popescu the q is, they just made a claim to sovereignity.
11:16 asciilifeform they can make a claim to being martians with telepathic powers. my answer is answer to why no one comes in with bulldozer and whore cages
11:17 mircea_popescu i don't see how it answers that ?
11:17 asciilifeform they do exactly what is expected of'em.
11:17 mircea_popescu there is after all a difference between farmer burning his own crop and guy going and burning other people's things.

11:18 mircea_popescu seems to me a misrepresentation of the situation.
11:18 asciilifeform last i checked, greek panzers weren't overrunning germany and collecting all that isn't screwed down
11:18 mircea_popescu the imf didn't give them money so as not to get it back.
11:19 mircea_popescu so they're fraudsters rather than thieves ?
11:19 asciilifeform aha
11:19 mircea_popescu undisputed, but what does it help.
11:19 asciilifeform but the symbiotic fraud described by orlov et al
11:19 mircea_popescu all conmen ever claim to live at the pleasure of the king, of course.
11:19 mircea_popescu but... they do not in fact.
11:20 asciilifeform the other function of feeding the greeks is to prevent them from coming up for islamic fire sale like they did last time.
11:20 mircea_popescu how come nobody is lending the ukraine 100 bn then ?
11:20 mircea_popescu they could waste it better than the greeks their 20.
11:20 asciilifeform they did, and did!
11:20 mircea_popescu nah, they got some pittance, bn and half.
11:20 asciilifeform not quite 100
11:20 asciilifeform aha
11:21 asciilifeform why does one u.s. idiot get a 50K 'platinum' while another a 0.5K 'turd' ?
11:21 asciilifeform same idea

11:23 mircea_popescu unless they can find a way to run them in a vms or something.
11:24 mircea_popescu from a greek perspective, switching bases every 10 years would be the best outcome, they can hire poor polacks to manage for the construction work.

12:28 nubbins` total noob q here, why does boost redefine all these stdint types anyway
12:36 asciilifeform nubbins`: because it was written by pig-men
12:36 nubbins` lel.
12:37 nubbins` y'know debian etc are probably just assuming one definition or the other
12:37 nubbins` rather than halting at the ambiguity
12:37 nubbins` if you wanna play whack-a-mole, here's a start: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=Cnbdqf0Y
12:37 assbot ... ( http://bit.ly/1GScSOP )
12:37 trinque when presented with an ambiguous choice, always best to choose arbitrarily
12:37 trinque lol
12:38 nubbins` the correct way would i guess be to rip the boost namespace out of there
12:38 nubbins` and explicitly declare it when needed
12:38 nubbins` but i can imagine this'd be a bit of a task
12:39 nubbins` unless there's a pressing need to use non-boost types, it's prob fine to just explicitly use the boost ones. not like the libs aren't being included anyway
12:42 asciilifeform nubbins`: except then the non-boost libs cough and die
12:42 asciilifeform what must be discovered is - why this happens during this static build
12:42 asciilifeform and not otherwise.
12:43 asciilifeform my present hypothesis is that gcc is making 'unprincipled exceptions' for stdint.
12:43 asciilifeform (see earlier thread.)
12:43 nubbins` incidentally, there ARE other declarations of uint32_t in those files
12:43 asciilifeform but they presumably agree with one another
12:43 nubbins` they all appear to have the boost:: prefix except for the couple of instances in above patch
12:44 asciilifeform (and with libs)
12:44 nubbins` why these random couple of instances don't have boost:: is beyond me
12:44 asciilifeform that -or- gcc simply doesn't get there
12:44 asciilifeform dies before they get evaluated.
12:44 asciilifeform this is another aspect of 'c/cpp ecosystem' that rattles nerves
12:44 nubbins` seems weird you'd fall back to the non-boost version for these couple of random instances.
12:44 asciilifeform you -don't actually ever know- if the barf you now have is the -total- barf.

13:05 mircea_popescu "into the country’s top-level bureaucrats and state employees "
13:05 mircea_popescu see the difference ?
13:06 mircea_popescu confiscating the bureaucracy's "money" is not even on the table.
13:06 mircea_popescu anything anyone owns on the grounds of having interacted with a government is to be taken outright.
13:07 jurov lol, you have never interacted with the govt?
13:07 mircea_popescu nope.
13:07 jurov or anyone in the US had?
13:07 mircea_popescu that's their problem.
13:08 mircea_popescu but no, i never cashed a govt paycheck.
13:08 mircea_popescu which is why i don't have to report my fortune etc.
13:08 jurov you ever paid any taxes?
13:08 mircea_popescu all the time.
13:08 jurov and that's not "having interacted"?
13:09 mircea_popescu not what i meant eh.
13:09 asciilifeform <mircea_popescu> anything anyone owns on the grounds of having interacted
13:09 asciilifeform owns
13:09 asciilifeform not 'lost'
13:09 asciilifeform perhaps converse is to be inserted as well - anything that one -lost- from interacting with government, ought to be returned.
13:09 asciilifeform except thermodynamics gets in the way
13:09 asciilifeform they long ate and shat it.
13:10 Chillum feed it to the mushrooms
13:10 Chillum feed them shit, keep them in the dark
13:10 mircea_popescu asciilifeform i can see a plan to have everyone who ever worked for a government shipped to the salt mines until the whole sum is made back.
13:10 mircea_popescu "here's how much you group of criminals owe. the pay is X an hour. get busy."
13:10 jurov aha. and why it's so important that putin "didn't write", but just takes as he seems fit without elaborating on paper?
13:11 mircea_popescu because rule of law jurov.
13:11 mircea_popescu it's one thing to be a thief, it's another to pretend not to be a thief.
13:11 mircea_popescu which is why i write about people like bfl on trilema, but not about any one of the countless heists.
13:11 asciilifeform jurov: what thing of yours did mr p take? i'd like to hear the full story here
13:12 mircea_popescu asciilifeform well how'd he know.
13:13 jurov alf whines all the time about as if obama took something from him.. so i'm trying to compare
13:13 asciilifeform jurov: mr o takes half of what i make.
13:13 asciilifeform and then some
13:13 asciilifeform and will probably sign my hanging papers eventually
13:13 mircea_popescu they have taxes in russia too don';t they ?
13:13 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: 15% flat
13:13 asciilifeform FLAT
13:13 asciilifeform last i checked.
13:14 mircea_popescu ya ya, except if you become an "oligarch", then they invent imaginary arears and steal your shit.
13:14 trinque asciilifeform: what has you so convinced your head is going to roll?
13:14 asciilifeform which 'oligarch' didn't steal 'his' money from the public in ru ?
13:14 asciilifeform during 'privatization'
13:14 mircea_popescu entirely different story.
13:14 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: not different at all. <mircea_popescu> anything anyone owns on the grounds of having interacted with a government is to be taken outright.
13:14 mircea_popescu "steal from the public" is what, microsoft ? jp manufacturer of resistors ?
13:15 asciilifeform how did the dekulakized folks in ru make their dough ?
13:15 mircea_popescu well, the papers show they bought and sold.
13:15 mircea_popescu this is fine.
13:15 mircea_popescu they didn't, yoiu know, take employment with the govt.
13:15 asciilifeform 'bought' for fire sale price from dead lion
13:15 mircea_popescu and so...
13:15 mircea_popescu not their problem.
13:15 asciilifeform as crown concession from new regime
13:15 asciilifeform crown gave - crown took.
13:15 mircea_popescu also not their problem.
13:15 mircea_popescu mno.
13:16 mircea_popescu if i buy something from you, you're not "taking" it.
13:16 asciilifeform if i'm only 'selling' for a penny because you torched my house the day before - then yes, took.
13:16 mircea_popescu these are unequal things. commerce is between equal parties. employment is between unequal parties.
13:16 mircea_popescu it makes no difference. don't want to sell, don't sell.
13:16 asciilifeform the commerce between the arsonist and his victim is not commerce.
13:16 mircea_popescu otherwise we'll start having to take back the ilk of shrem because hey, "they torched his house".
13:17 mircea_popescu you still don't fucking sign.
13:17 mircea_popescu once you've settled, you've settled.
13:17 asciilifeform i mean i get the basic idea, 'to the victor - the spoils, to the vanqushed - the tears'
13:18 mircea_popescu it's just, unlike things are and remain unlike.
13:18 asciilifeform but what's with the dress-up games. if tomorrow yesterday's victor and vanquished switch places - the former doesn't get to whine about 'violations'
13:18 asciilifeform same right of might as his original rape
13:18 mircea_popescu depends on how the stuff was formalised.
13:18 asciilifeform except the cock's on the other pudenda now.
13:18 mircea_popescu which is what rule of law is all about.
13:18 mircea_popescu if tomorrow it is discovered bharara was acting under mere color of law,
13:18 mircea_popescu the people who didn't sign a confession walk
13:19 mircea_popescu the people who did sign a confession stay in.
13:19 asciilifeform if the law gets scrapped and re-written every time the throne changes hands - what is the law ?
13:19 mircea_popescu that really has no bearing on the case here.
13:19 Chillum If I was involved in the formation of a new regime I would institute a policy of mercy on the old regime. If only because any new regime is likely to be taken over by the next
13:19 Chillum want to set a precedent
13:19 mircea_popescu Chillum it's a stupider idea than you realise.
13:19 * mats slaps forehead
13:19 asciilifeform Chillum: we all get eaten by worms in the end. why not start now. right ?
13:19 asciilifeform l0l
13:19 Chillum I intend to be eaten by wolves
13:20 mircea_popescu consider the matter in terms you're better equipped to handle. if, upon breaking up a girl with her former boyfriend, you institute a policy that she may fuck him whenever,
13:20 mats kill yourself
13:20 mircea_popescu you're merely stating that you're not really the new boyfriend.
13:20 trinque maybe Chillum is referring to what happened in Iraq for example, where former baathists end up in ISIS
13:20 asciilifeform mats: he can't, no wolf in sight yet
13:20 mircea_popescu they'll revert and you'll be out of the loop soon enough.
13:20 Chillum trinque: ^^
13:20 Chillum yup
13:20 Chillum plan for failure
13:20 mircea_popescu if you plan for failure, go home.
13:20 mats ought to have properly executed every last baathist.
13:21 Chillum failure to plan for failure is the ultimate failure
13:21 mircea_popescu ha. you and what army mats ?
13:21 trinque "they" "should"
13:21 trinque the them!
13:21 asciilifeform anyone recall the folk tale where the headsman is ordered to chop own head ?
13:21 mircea_popescu oic. yes, they should. and they actually do.
13:21 mircea_popescu part of why isis seems respectable where the usarmy does not.
13:22 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 14089 @ 0.00027 = 3.804 BTC [-]
13:23 asciilifeform i'll respect when they build so much as one mosfet. or a hydro plant. or own radar array. or at least stop using fucking caesar ciphers.
13:23 trinque asciilifeform: can't, science is from satan
13:23 trinque maybe they're respectable like one respects a forest fire
13:23 asciilifeform trinque: atheist kalash is also from satan, doesn't prevent the 'doublethink'
13:24 asciilifeform trinque: forest fires can't be tricked and tripped like a child.
13:24 trinque not in terms of thinking creatures, though
13:24 mircea_popescu asciilifeform well yeah, if they actually were intellectually respectable i'd prolly be there.
13:24 mircea_popescu but we were discussing agency rather than techne here
13:25 asciilifeform when the ancients anthropomorphisized nature and 'respected', e.g., the sea, it was because it was -indomitable-
13:25 mircea_popescu not necessarily.
13:25 asciilifeform go try respect a puddle
13:25 trinque it's too early in the morning for this zen shit
13:25 trinque :p
13:25 mircea_popescu asciilifeform danae fucked a (pee) puddle was pregnant.
13:26 trinque seems like isis is just good kindling for a larger middle eastern war
13:27 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: rain, not puddle
13:27 asciilifeform rain is respectable.
13:27 trinque I wouldn't expect them to continue to exist if/when that kicks off
13:27 mircea_popescu golden rain tho.
13:27 mircea_popescu if that's not piss...

13:29 mircea_popescu which is weird, considering.
13:29 mircea_popescu but yeah, i recall some stuff about how white sperms beat up black sperms.

13:33 mircea_popescu but hey, the us is solving its homeless population, and the un doesn't even seem to notice or anything.
13:33 mircea_popescu what about sanctions for human rights violations in africa's most recent presidential autocracy ?
13:35 asciilifeform 'VELENTZAS also told the UC that she was progressing in her electrical studies and had used a solder tool to solder copper wires together, although VELENTZAS had suffered a small burn on her finger in the process. The UC observed a burn mark on VELENTZAS's finger.'

13:44 asciilifeform or what, mircea_popescu expects to get in the mail a package with the head of the fella who signed the 'do not cite qntra' memo taped on 'fortune' monkeys' cubicles ?
13:45 asciilifeform the 'we did not claim they broke the news' thing is pure gold.
13:46 mircea_popescu cazalla i'd say they'd banned from qntra, and we just rewrite their breaking stuff without credit given, but then again they've not broken anything since like the 80s, they just rewrite random feeds.

14:04 cazalla mircea_popescu, nice, i'll hold off responding to this daniel roberts fellow and see what comes of yours
14:04 mircea_popescu the point asciilifeform doesn't appreciate here is that i'd much rather spend 10k to sue forbes over a missatributed story than spend 10k to buy "clicks" on facebook or w/e.
14:04 mircea_popescu you can readily ignore the muppet.
14:04 asciilifeform probably same result from each 10k
14:04 asciilifeform but it's mircea_popescu's 10k, if he wants to spend it on a new coat of pain for dirigible - perfectly good

15:04 asciilifeform was disk in the drive
15:04 asciilifeform last night
15:04 mircea_popescu myeah.
15:04 asciilifeform then.
15:04 mircea_popescu it's still in there now!
15:05 mircea_popescu nothing whatsoever changed.
15:05 asciilifeform try giving it the actual root device when it asks
15:05 asciilifeform instead of letting it die into busybox
15:05 asciilifeform (why even built it with busybox, i wonder)
15:05 mircea_popescu i have no idea.
15:06 mircea_popescu moreover, im not aware i actually did
15:06 asciilifeform didja even build this kernel.
15:06 mircea_popescu and how the fuck does it not find the cd when it booted off the cd!
15:06 asciilifeform cd is not build to be usable as rootfs
15:06 asciilifeform *built
15:07 asciilifeform (typically it contains a thing that can be booted from and ends up living in ram, like my pogo 'turdel')
15:07 asciilifeform but not to be mounted as a rootfs by a normal kernel.
15:07 mircea_popescu look. whatever whatever may be built as or not, i have two basic expectations. one is, for fucking machinery to behave the same way from night to next evening. the other, albeit weaker, is that if i get a "minimal work" thing i actually have to do minimal work.
15:07 asciilifeform mircea_popescu poured diesel into petrol engine
15:08 mircea_popescu meh.
15:08 asciilifeform at any rate, give it the rootfs.
15:08 asciilifeform if boots, then stuff it into the kernel cmd line params in lilo (or grub or whatever you used)
15:08 asciilifeform then it will work for all time.
15:08 asciilifeform alternatively compile the cmdline into kernel per se
15:08 asciilifeform like i do on 'pogo' builds.
15:08 mircea_popescu if im going to actually have to do shit by hand im not going ot use the retarded "live cd" bs.
15:08 mircea_popescu i have nfi why these people keep offering offers they can't actually offer.
15:09 asciilifeform i very rarely install gentoo from cd, must say. normally i install using a normal computer with the 'patient' disk plugged in
15:09 asciilifeform as just a disk.
15:10 asciilifeform then when the contents are in place, we move disk to its final home and try to boot from it, etc.
15:10 mircea_popescu yeah well that's nice, but srsly...
15:11 asciilifeform look at your lilo (or grub) config.
15:12 mircea_popescu "The Gentoo minimal installation CD is a bootable CD which contains a self-sustained Gentoo environment. It allows the user to boot Linux from the CD."
15:12 mircea_popescu their fucking handbook or w/e that is.
15:12 asciilifeform sure does
15:12 asciilifeform -the linux on the cd-
15:12 mircea_popescu is the idea im booting gentoo off the cd and it gives me ash ?!
15:13 asciilifeform wai wat, did that box -boot from cd- ?
15:13 asciilifeform the one in the pic
15:13 mircea_popescu yes dude
15:13 mircea_popescu what do you think im going on about here!
15:13 asciilifeform though this was the second attempt to boot an -installed- linux.
15:13 mircea_popescu no.
15:13 asciilifeform !
15:13 mircea_popescu see, THAT would have made sense.
15:14 * asciilifeform like total idiot assumed the variant that makes sense.
15:14 mircea_popescu this is why i said you won't believe it.
15:14 mircea_popescu because a) even if the cd somehow failed it shouldnb't fail like this
15:14 mircea_popescu and b) wtf.
15:14 asciilifeform and this is a commonplace ibmpclike thing with ata cdrom, etc. ?
15:14 mircea_popescu yes.
15:14 asciilifeform not some crazy sun dildostation.
15:14 asciilifeform hm.
15:15 mircea_popescu and i mean sure w/e i could compile it and whatnot.
15:15 mircea_popescu but so far am very nonplussed.

15:50 asciilifeform my grandfather had a dacha. it did not come with a toilet, so he built one. outhouse thing, but with an actual toilet that flushed instead of the customary shit pit. this is relevant, because:

17:35 asciilifeform anyone so much as touching the dangerous patches needs to actually grasp what is going on.

17:38 nubbins` asciilifeform yes it does!

17:38 asciilifeform and their reactor controls
17:38 ben_vulpes does *not* compile to my requirements, i mean.
17:38 asciilifeform the same outcome is not proof that you are 'doing the same thing'

17:38 assbot Logged on 03-04-2015 13:37:28; nubbins`: but he fears others will think it sucks, or worse, that his taste is so poor that it *does* suck and he just doesn't see it
17:39 asciilifeform sometimes, the -process- matters.
17:39 trinque ok, I am aware of your perspective
17:39 asciilifeform because the -process- provides guarantees of...
17:39 asciilifeform !s provenance
17:39 assbot 26 results for 'provenance' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=provenance
17:39 trinque you can easily verify the output of git
17:39 mircea_popescu <ben_vulpes> nobody's collaborating on anything man << this is like the first time ever people are seriously using a noncollaborative approach to coding.
17:39 asciilifeform programmers as a class have severe trouble with this concept, in my experience
17:39 nubbins` haha
17:39 asciilifeform because they live & die by idempotence of identical bits
17:40 nubbins` the adversarial approach to development
17:40 mircea_popescu asciilifeform only whores masquerading as programmers.
17:40 asciilifeform (also see the 'what colour are your bits' essay)
17:40 mircea_popescu "it rubbed me nicely, same thing"
17:40 trinque not at all what I'm saying
17:40 * nubbins` snoozes while waiting for bitcoind to find seeds
17:41 asciilifeform trinque: when you use a version control apparatus, it is very easy to produce patches that cannot be applied using your mind
17:41 asciilifeform and this quickly becomes the only kind of patch produced.
17:41 mircea_popescu asciilifeform eventually that list jurov keeps will become unusable as a flat thing, you are aware.
17:41 nubbins` "patch" = updating 5,000 files at once
17:41 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: eventually
17:42 mircea_popescu even if your version control is strictly "X -> Y -> Z" which are all control points
17:42 trinque if you can't rely on the discipline of the people involved you're already fucked
17:42 mircea_popescu it's still fucking version control.
17:42 trinque running diff and patch by hand isn't going to fix it
17:42 asciilifeform nubbins`: laugh, but what do you imagine would happen if one of us were to, e.g., reindent it.
17:42 nubbins` asciilifeform i used that example because i've seen precisely this sort of bullshit committed to svn

17:43 nubbins` <+trinque> if you can't rely on the discipline of the people involved you're already fucked <<< by this metric, /we have been fucked from day one/

17:43 trinque everyone who ever poked his dick into the github?
17:43 nubbins` everyone who ever poked his dick in pre-0.5.4 bitcoin
17:44 asciilifeform the approach does not 'fix' anything, no. but it prevents certain plagues that are otherwise ubiquitous
17:44 asciilifeform and 100% fatal.
17:45 trinque by that logic you should never drive, because the machine's capable of 130mph into a brick wall
17:45 trinque anyhow, proceed as you like
17:45 nubbins` noooooo, the analogy would be a car with a governor that kicks in at 200kph
17:45 nubbins` y'know, like they have in actual cars in real life
17:46 trinque "actual cars" ?

17:47 nubbins` for the record, your car is almost certainly not "capable" of doing anything at 130mph
17:47 nubbins` except maybe freefalling
17:47 mircea_popescu this is why you like the two ton mercedes.
17:47 mircea_popescu flies at 200km/h
17:47 nubbins` ehh, i once got a chrysler neon up to 205.
17:47 nubbins` (this only works downhill)
17:47 trinque nubbins`: my old 300zx could certainly do 130
17:48 trinque current vw crapwagon nope
17:48 nubbins` trinque and is your 300zx for granny smith, or for a driver who knows the risks?
17:48 mircea_popescu the only time i trusted a us pos i had a break plate of a ford explode. just like that.
17:48 nubbins` and thus, the analogy complete.
17:48 mircea_popescu we nearly fucking died.
17:49 nubbins` WOO
17:49 nubbins` height=6538
17:49 * nubbins` applauds
17:49 mircea_popescu look a tthat. that's almost like a modern block's worth altogether.
17:49 trinque mircea_popescu: damn, yeah I don't drive american cars
17:49 mircea_popescu i don't drive either, but yeah.
17:50 mircea_popescu in fairness this was prolly assembled in canada out of vietnamese parts or some shit. "american" what's that.
17:53 trinque nubbins`: wait so granny smith is who you want working on bitcoind?
17:53 nubbins` again, you deliberately misunderstand
17:53 trinque all I'm saying is use tools that don't slow down the work, and have merge nazis using shame and dishonor at the center
17:53 nubbins` it's not a question of who i want working on it
17:53 nubbins` or of who i "want" "working" on it
17:53 trinque the problem's solved by the wot not diff and patch

21:18 danielpbarron got me shadowbanned on reddit

21:19 junseth I can tell you how I got here today
21:19 junseth I wanted to see where the space ghost image had gotten to
21:19 junseth so I went to images.google.com and threw the URL in there.
21:20 junseth And voilla, I end up at both trilema and the bitcoin-assets log

21:26 asciilifeform (there is no simple way to test these on pc, because linux has idiotically unsegregated memory stats and hard to say precisely how much is eaten -by bitcoind- vs disk cache)

21:28 mircea_popescu aha.
21:28 junseth But yeah, I optimize one thing at a time
21:28 mircea_popescu "Tasmanian poppies are highly toxic if ingested. They are uniquely different to standard poppies and have been developed to produce chemicals suitable for industrial processing only." << check out the proper use of ge huh.
21:28 junseth so we own the Honeywell search terms

21:30 junseth Haha, but as you can see, at nights, ont he weekends, I do Bitcoin
21:30 mircea_popescu cool.
21:32 mircea_popescu "libc.so.6 => not found" << what the shit ?!
21:35 mircea_popescu junseth " The US has kept inflation down to around 3-4% for the most part since the beginning of central banking in the US." << you know that is atrociously untrue.
21:35 mircea_popescu look into volcker, the problem he addressed, how he addressed it etc.
21:35 junseth Haha, I like to play with this argument. If you want we can have it. I'll bite. What do you believe inflation to be?
21:35 mircea_popescu us had inflation over 10% a year (not counting moimentary flareups of 1000% APY for a day or w/e) almost each decade.
21:36 mircea_popescu depends on your definition of inflation. by my definition of inflation, the us experiences about 15% a year, on average, since 2000. that's exacerbating over time, so 2015 may well see 30%+
21:38 junseth Ok. So let's work with those numbers. At 10% per year for over a decade, what you're claiming is that the basket of goods you would be purchasing would have increased abotu 3x in the last decade.
21:38 BingoBoingo <mircea_popescu> junseth " The US has kept inflation down to around 3-4% for the most part since the beginning of central banking in the US." << you know that is atrociously untrue. << But for the lizards who got to see their cocaine prices drop nearly six fold over 3 decades...
21:38 junseth Hahaha
21:38 mircea_popescu junseth roughly.
21:38 mircea_popescu behold : i declare my basket.
21:38 junseth Hahaha
21:38 asciilifeform the most entertaining aspect is the gymnastics carried out so u.s. folks can say 'ahahah, inflation 30% but where then is the $30/gl. petrol'
21:39 mircea_popescu take three houses in the top 10% land value areas of the country, take college funds for twelve children.
21:39 asciilifeform and a few other massive 'rob peter to pay paul' operations around which the entire orchestra revolves
21:39 mircea_popescu divide the sum of this basked in 1965 with the sum of this basket today
21:39 mircea_popescu take into account the incredible decay in quality
21:39 junseth I mean, if what you usually purchase is 3x more expensive now than it was a decade ago, I am baffled.
21:39 mircea_popescu (hey, if the usg is pretending like increases in quality wash inflation away, same argument can be used the other way too)
21:39 mircea_popescu and you'll notice we're looking at 10x not 3x.
21:40 mircea_popescu so : five to ten as bad college today as compared to 1965, which costs 100k instead of 10k. this is about 50x to 100x factor.
21:41 junseth I mean, this purported decay in quality involves the development of computers in your hand, cheaper foods a la GMOs (Norman Borlaug), and other nonesuch.
21:41 mircea_popescu much shittier houses today than in 1965, about a margin of 2 to 3, that cost... 30x more, just about.
21:41 mircea_popescu no.

21:41 junseth RE: college, it's not a fair metric. College inflation is largely a lie. The college I went to cost $45k/year. I paid $3k per year because the number they make you pay and the sticker price are completely different.
21:41 mircea_popescu i am not discussing your idea of a fair metric.
21:41 mircea_popescu i told you my metric. that's the metric.
21:42 mircea_popescu if i go to the tailor and i tell him i want pants that are nine feet long, he doesn't get to tell me pant length is not a fair metric.
21:42 mircea_popescu !up junseth
21:43 mircea_popescu fact remains you ARE stuck paying for college. and you are stuck paying for "owning" a "house".
21:43 mircea_popescu compared to this, i couldn't care less what ipads cost.
21:43 mircea_popescu seeing how i don't use them anyway.
21:43 junseth Hahaha. Well, fair enough. Give me a few minutes. I have to leave my office. I'll come back and do more of this.
21:43 mircea_popescu no rush
21:43 mircea_popescu the b-a is eternal.
21:44 mats 21:41:40 <+junseth> RE: college, it's not a fair metric. College inflation is largely a lie. << you're wrong.
21:45 mircea_popescu asciilifeform what boggles most about those gymnastics is the fact that somehow the same people don't link the dots between "unaffordable health care" and "inflation". isn't this strange ?
21:45 junseth I will say this though, I am a very strong believer in the Chicago school of economics which says that deep markets are efficient. So, inflation, for me, tends to be uninetresting, because you can very very easily hedge against it.
21:45 mircea_popescu this is at best naive.
21:45 mircea_popescu markets are only efficient if they exist
21:45 mircea_popescu the us hasn't had a market economy for a century now.
21:45 junseth It might be. I invite you to explain why it's naive. If you can tell me your inputs, I can tell you why I agree or disagree.
21:45 mircea_popescu ^
21:46 mircea_popescu ballet is not "an efficient market", for instance. even if it exists, phenomenologically.
21:46 mircea_popescu not everything that happens to be perceptible is automatically a free market by virtue of that.
21:46 mircea_popescu a play about the free market, for instance, is not itself a free market.
21:47 decimation junseth: if the bond market is 'efficient' (for example), why does it seem to oscillate between 'rally' and 'sell-off' seemingly dependent on how the fed might act?
21:50 decimation pretty good podcast http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2015/02/michael_munger_1.html >" But that manipulation will not be apparent to people unless they have seen this technical result. Which means that you sort of--you can have shamans, people who know the rules, be in charge in ways that are tantamount to dictatorship. So, we should be very skeptical about claims that 'this is what the people want.' I think ontologically, that is, in
21:50 assbot " + soundfiledesc + " ... ( http://bit.ly/1GaWGJh )
21:50 decimation terms of existence, the idea of the will of the people is a genie or will o' the wisp, that we shouldn't really believe in. But for technical reasons, that notion of outcomes being the will of the people, we should be very skeptical about."

22:00 decimation i486 has a fairly simple instruction set, and it has the advantage of being still 'executable' on modern cpus

22:03 decimation well, i386 is dumb because it lacks floating point
22:03 decimation failing that I was thinking mips with some variant of solaris
22:04 junseth RE: the discussion about markets, I generally disagree with the notion that markets don't work. I know it's a common mantra. But markets, even decently regulated ones, work pretty well. Regulated markets price in the cost of regulation.
22:05 danielpbarron i don't think the argument posed was that they don't work, but that the U.S. hasn't had one for the last century

There were proposals by some economists to try to have a system that

22:27 junseth danielbparron, Well, I would say that electronic, non-government controlled money is better money. Bitcoin's decentralization lets us take advantage of those better features. Previous attempts at using what we all agreed would have been better were shutdown because they were centralized.

22:40 junseth Haha, well a market is a place where individuals come and transact. That's what it means. What does it look like? I mean, it can look like a lot of things. But a marketplace doesn't have to look like any one thing.
22:40 junseth Hahaha. Are they intelligent enough to make trades and transact?
22:41 asciilifeform words have -meanings.'
22:41 trinque didn't say transact
22:41 trinque junseth: I am drawing a parallel between functioning natural ecosystems and functioning markets
22:41 decimation asciilifeform: ok let's say you employ buildroot. which kernel? which gcc/glib?
22:42 asciilifeform decimation: 'easy' - the ones that -work-.
22:42 decimation heh
22:42 asciilifeform the kernel, for what it's worth, is not a sticking point.
22:43 decimation I would suggest a redhat-patched gcc actually
22:43 asciilifeform ick
22:43 asciilifeform why
22:44 decimation well, they follow exactly the method you advocate
22:44 asciilifeform what method would that be
22:44 decimation if you look at the contents of a src.rpm it's a collection of patches with the original tarball
22:44 asciilifeform redhat is more or less the last thing i want to use for anything linux-related.
22:44 asciilifeform it is indelibly stained.
22:45 decimation I get it, but a patch is a patch
22:45 asciilifeform for what do i need these stooges' patches ?
22:45 decimation certainly I'm not saying that they should be taken on redhat's name alone
22:45 asciilifeform what the hell is wrong with naked, classical gcc.
22:45 asciilifeform straight from rms's arse
22:45 decimation well, many of them are probably not useful in the context of buildroot
22:45 trinque lol
22:46 decimation but some of them are probably fixes for obscure bugs that might be useful to know about
22:46 asciilifeform i don't want any redhat patches. if were any good, would have made it back into mainline.
22:46 asciilifeform i do not want them in the zoo, i do not want them with a gnu, i do not want them in a house, i do not want them with a mouse, ... , ...
22:46 decimation i admit that many of them are probably useful bugfixes that are backported
22:47 asciilifeform i do not want them in a lake, i do not want them on the stake, ...
22:48 decimation redhat is used in many places
22:48 decimation perhaps not 'avionics grade', but there is quite a bit of 'fix this shit'
22:48 * asciilifeform has used, did not like.
22:49 asciilifeform because, aside from the authorship,
22:49 asciilifeform it is neither minimal, nor clean, nor self-reconstructing.
22:50 decimation asciilifeform: well, self-reconstructing is one thing, but certainly the very 'base' install isn't much bigger than a buildroot
22:51 junseth "junseth: I am drawing a parallel between functioning natural ecosystems and functioning markets" I'm not sure what you mean. Can you
22:51 junseth expound.
22:53 decimation I suppose my overall point is that if the build target is 'frozen', someone is gonna have to maintain the infrastructure
22:53 decimation so one can take advantage of that which exists already commercially, or 'do it self'

23:33 decimation ah
23:34 decimation re: discussion about paper keys < I wonder if a set of symbols in combination with a very simple 'ocr' algorithm might work
23:34 asciilifeform 'simple' ocr ?!!!
23:35 decimation well, think q-r code
23:35 decimation which isn't terribly simple, I admit
23:37 asciilifeform decimation: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=31-03-2015#1081008 << see recent thread
23:37 assbot Logged on 31-03-2015 20:23:48; ascii_field: Chillum: barcode reader is simple enough conceptually that it doesn't need a cpu.
23:37 * asciilifeform does not like qr code
23:38 decimation ah I agree

23:42 decimation well, there is some precedent for embedded devices reading optical codes - the checkout counter

23:52 danielpbarron I have no doubt that these same people, had you enthusiastically said to them, "Your 64MB flash drive will hold a 64GB in a few years and cost less!" would have scoffed at the idea. The same thing is happening with Bitcoin. Men who know nothing about software are scoffing at the idea that Bitcoin can change and improve. Its an a-historical perspective, to use parliamentary language. On IRC, they simply say, "DERP!".
23:52 danielpbarron ^ from the guy who came into b-a to register in the gribble WoT post-fork
23:53 Chillum I would have believed it

23:57 danielpbarron It is only now that Edward Snowden has confirmed that GPG is beyone the reach of the NSA, that their ignorant anti GPG nonsense is forever dispelled as garbage.
23:59 danielpbarron They are very short and terse in the text (just as the Bitcoin White Paper is) and you are invited to run the software yourself. The install process is simple, and then the software either does what it developers claim it does, or it does not. Its all simple and straightforward.
23:59 danielpbarron what world is this guy observing?
