09:55 mircea_popescu so now tell me a little more about ddos and basic bojums and whatnot.
09:55 mircea_popescu the simple point of fact is that the kids are idiots. not some of them. all of them. the class arrives already thrown, and nobody can be arsed to put their foot down/
09:56 mircea_popescu so they just hire the scum, and hope and pray. and hey, if the customers are displeased what ever the fuck, it's "best business practices", ie, "all the other shops intown are hiring from the same group of perambulating monkeys. you want these shoes or not ?"
09:56 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: how come 'Russia is no good. What else you got' ?
09:56 mircea_popescu what ddos ? what anything ?
09:56 mircea_popescu asciilifeform elemetary i was going to turn down his first babble.
09:56 mircea_popescu you ever been in a negotiation before ?
09:56 asciilifeform sure. was wondering if this.

10:01 mircea_popescu soon enough they unionize themselves out of class, then they show up for jobs and "force" the "evil capitalist" to you know, hire them to randi zuckerberg all over the office.
10:01 mircea_popescu helping my foot.
10:01 mircea_popescu it's dumb-dumb : the phds pay the rents, the scum gets to keep the pretense going
10:01 asciilifeform prolongs the agony
10:02 asciilifeform sorta like american 'medicine'
10:04 asciilifeform the 'unionize out of class' thing is horrifyingly real. in usa we have a custom of 'grade on a curve'
10:04 asciilifeform where literally this happens.
10:06 asciilifeform 'Some data centers in Ukraine had a raid this week and we dont receive the information in time to set the offers out of stock.' << any idea if this is true ?
10:06 mircea_popescu exactly. so what happens next ? a) they show up for work and b) the only work they can do is star in movies, where unfortunate thirld worlders suffer the horrible fate of having their ancestral knowledge passed down at great expense that "white man good, you scum" married to the fact that deep down in his entrails he feels like this is a great thing!
10:06 mircea_popescu and so now you have the whole planet poisoned.

10:13 punkman the car
10:13 asciilifeform punkman: the car is typically either an old rust bucket or deeply creditatronic
10:15 mircea_popescu this myth that usians own cars is laughable.
10:15 asciilifeform the linked article mentioned cops searching pockets and taking as little as 100 usd. and this was meant to provoke outrage, but typical reader quite likely went 'what kind of monster walks around with 100 bill'
10:15 mircea_popescu how many usians under 35 own a car ?
10:15 mircea_popescu their budget is < 500 bucks, which barely buys a bike.
10:15 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: many, but the car is typically a museum piece
10:15 mircea_popescu asciilifeform amusingly, EVERYONE in argentina. non 100 bills carry a 5% discount here.

10:20 mircea_popescu the despicable, miserable, filthy truth in here
10:20 mircea_popescu is that i actually make money with these stupid shits.
10:20 mircea_popescu like that's what i want from life ;/
10:21 asciilifeform 'They just resell servers from various other datacenters but appear as if they have their own hardware' << this may well be true. very common scamatron, arse-mouth system.
10:22 mircea_popescu i have no idea why this would be a discovery or anythning. this is the business.
10:22 mircea_popescu what the fuck would you expect them do, build dcs ?
10:22 mircea_popescu "this shoe shop just resells shoes from various shoe outlets"
10:22 mircea_popescu REALLY ?!?!?!
10:22 mircea_popescu i thought they shat the shoes out!
10:22 asciilifeform 'only the ancients could build temples, all we know how to do is take shits in'em'
10:22 mircea_popescu no but seriously, this is the job, what.
10:23 asciilifeform somebody, somewhere actually runs dc
10:23 punkman could also read as "they pretend they have own hardware"
10:23 mircea_popescu asciilifeform not anymore than "Someone somewhere actually runs hydro plant".
10:23 kakobrekla if you dont controll the building , you dont control the server
10:24 asciilifeform for some reason i am reminded of 'farmer's market' sc4mz0rz who load up on monsanto garbage at the big box shop and then resell 'organic tomatoez!!111' to chumpers
↖
10:24 mircea_popescu they run the technical side, marketing has got to be wholesaled out.
10:24 mircea_popescu punkman in practical terms ownership of capital goods is very messy. you think gm owns the equipment in gm plant ? as what, outright ? mno.
10:25 mircea_popescu whether they bought their own box and colocated it, or rented a precolocated one from dc is a very fine point.

10:25 mircea_popescu for one thing, most everyone works with a list of dc approved suppliers anyway.
10:26 asciilifeform unlike a hydro plant, a dc is this thing that, at its practical minimum, costs what maybe 2 or 3 passenger buses do. serious corps run their own. most of my past employers had their critical infrastructure in some variant of own, non-leveraged in-house dc
10:26 mircea_popescu this is a red herring.
10:26 mircea_popescu you're looking at about 1.5bn investment to make a competitive one.
10:26 asciilifeform they weren't nuke-proof, no. but they ~were~ 'oops, i'm an orc and forgot to pay the bills at the place i secretly resell you'-proof.
10:26 mircea_popescu sure, could also retrofit your garage. so ?
10:27 mircea_popescu asciilifeform ANYTHING would be proof that. anything. just as long as done by human.
10:28 kakobrekla its like having money in the bank? is it your bank? no? its not your money.
10:28 mircea_popescu kakobrekla do you own the building you live in ?
10:28 kakobrekla my wot does.
10:29 mircea_popescu this is very good, patrimonially. the drawback however is, it's very bad, sartorially.

14:56 asciilifeform certainly not for a project with my name attached.
14:57 phf yeah, i'm leaning that way myself, but i'm not fully convinced yet. i'm for example trying to build sufficient knowledge of cmucl right now, to be able to take full responsibility for the behavior of my deployed system, and it's a ~slow process~. it's handy to have paid professionals assist you
14:57 phf i wouldn't even attempt to replicate the feat with, say, gcc
14:57 asciilifeform why cmucl rather than sbcl ?
14:58 phf the internals are more similar then not, and to fully grok sbcl you have to know cmucl anyway.
14:59 asciilifeform i've arrived at the point where i believe any system where any such thing is necessary, to be braindamaged beyond redemption
14:59 phf also there's less eyes on cmucl, i'm not at all convinced that the politics around sbcl are to my liking, where's cmucl is essentially abandonware. it generates code, it has a nice interpreter, the runtime is smaller, it already has treeshaker, it's got History, etc.

17:54 mircea_popescu anyway. the lure of the superman.
17:54 mircea_popescu in truth and honestly, humanity has produced one single great idea since the beginning,
17:54 asciilifeform if mircea_popescu is speaking of the ~ecosystem~ (can you get people who will maintain the project? at what cost? where? will they be sane? etc) then everything he said makes sense 100%.
17:54 mircea_popescu and it goes "wouldn't it be great if.... THIS".
17:54 mircea_popescu yeah, it would be.
17:55 mircea_popescu asciilifeform im speaking of the thing. what were you speaking of ?
17:55 mircea_popescu don't tell me we accidentallied into a public-private corssover where i was discussing public matters and you were recounting your sex life.
17:56 asciilifeform of whether a lone wolf like gabriel_laddel or yours truly can put a lisp system inside a black box and produce a working widget that solves $problem, just like ancestors could.
17:56 mircea_popescu ...
17:56 asciilifeform but in re: ecology, i must not only agree with mircea_popescu, but go further still
17:56 asciilifeform ... you can't hire folks to write sane, reasonable 'c' either
17:57 asciilifeform nor just about anything
17:57 mircea_popescu the problem is not what you call it, but the bizarre notion that there is a switch somewhere.
17:57 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: it is necessary to draw this imaginary line, in order to engineer anything without going mad. sorta like the field lines of faraday.
17:58 mircea_popescu in the immortal words of that short, brunette scion of the wealthy dreyfuss fambly (hey, almost like the rothschilds, ok ?) "Ohh.. right. Cause if we're dating, what everyone saw was just a beautiful moment between two lovers."
17:58 asciilifeform mircea_popescu does not personally (per own admission) engineer anything and has the luxury of forgoing the line.
17:58 mircea_popescu yea, this is the thing with psychic defenses : they are not optional, but necessary.
17:58 mircea_popescu to stave off going mad.
17:58 mircea_popescu nevertheless, do not expect they operate IN THE WORLD!
17:58 asciilifeform going mad is great fun but tends to interfere with paying the bills
17:58 mircea_popescu obviously.
17:58 trinque aw come now, I go mad twice daily
17:58 mircea_popescu yeah but you're not married yet.
17:59 trinque true enough
17:59 asciilifeform now it ~is~ possible to engineer something while being at the same time concerned with where the parts to build $item will come from in the year 2115.
17:59 mircea_popescu anyway, asciilifeform, the objection is not to the "word problem" abstraction cast over the world. it's with the apparent expectation this does something to the world. that's all.

18:36 mircea_popescu asciilifeform i suspect the thing with js is like so : it has two eigenstates. js.1 is "well, kinda useful to do some tasks browsewr side". as exemplified by say the trilema text select thing. way cheaper to do that client side than server side. js.2 however is "deploy code you can update yourself". ie, no need to ask people to update it for you.
18:37 mircea_popescu now, js.1 is how it's sold to users ; but js.2 is why it's appealing to business. and for a long time - really, as long as rsm seemed to have teeth - this appeared to them (understandably) as a required pontoon bridge to have, jic.
18:37 mircea_popescu i can follow the logic.
18:37 mircea_popescu ironially, "programmers themselves" play exactly no part in all of this.

20:22 asciilifeform what can be inferred from BingoBoingo's link is that reuters has bought into some software sc4mz0r's idiocy where there is, presumably, a proggy which claims to distinguish between jpeg that was crapped out by a camera vs one that was downconverted from 'raw'
20:22 asciilifeform (the latter being a bitwise dump of raw ccd output)
20:23 asciilifeform 'RAW photos do allow for a greater degree of post-processing flexibility, so based on the new policy, it appears that Reuters found that photos processed from RAWs are more likely to distort the truth.' << as if one could not easily produce whatever jpeg is expected

21:03 mircea_popescu either you have people in charge or you do not.
21:04 asciilifeform the scam is not in hitler's ability to 'cut off your lips if he doesn't like your face' but in the ~pretense~ at this strange 'rule of law' fiction
↖
21:07 asciilifeform the fiction specifically where it is not hitler but a faceless and indestructible (or at least, 'no reasonable person would try to destroy'...) thing that is doing the lip-cutting

FBI did not need to beat up Monica or toss into her purse heroin or am
21:11 mircea_popescu a pretense isn't a scam. it's just a pretense.

21:34 mircea_popescu (for the curious minds reading logs : the reason innocence CAN NOT, in any system, no matter how devised, ever be a bar to punishment is that innocence is a metaphysical concept, whereas punishment is physical. no matter what happens, the former will have to be processed, which is the name for moving across realms. no matters what happens this process will be lossy.)
21:35 mircea_popescu at some point the question moves from "whether this man ought to be punished" to "whether this man will be punished".
21:35 mircea_popescu no gallows can be built on an ought.

22:04 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: a specifically american delusion was the subject of scalia's thing
22:04 asciilifeform where the prisoner supposedly has a shot at 'proving innocence' all the way until the switch is flipped and the chair sizzles
22:05 mircea_popescu im not aware of this
22:05 mircea_popescu what is it, more pop culture ?
22:05 asciilifeform in a sense
22:05 asciilifeform when, e.g., the rosenbergs, sizzled, prior to the day of, telephone was installed not only in their cells but in the room containing the chair
22:06 asciilifeform so there is something like actual custom behind the notion
22:06 asciilifeform scalia's verdict concerned 'dna test'
22:07 asciilifeform which became a thing, and a case concerned whether an already-condemned man were legally entitled to a dnatronic testing
22:07 asciilifeform his opinion held that he were not.
22:07 asciilifeform (scalia's, that is)
22:08 asciilifeform herrera v. collins.
22:10 asciilifeform or hm, no dna in this one ?
22:10 asciilifeform iirc it was a factor in the decision though. that usg would be broken by the expense of being required to offer dnatronics to all death row.
22:11 mircea_popescu something like that.
22:12 mircea_popescu (it's deeper : that any sort of process is broken if it has to be constantly revised by "emerging" metaphysical considerations. basically he ruled that yes, we do release freeze.)
22:13 asciilifeform but in doing so broke with the pretence that a trial is ~actually~ about finding of physical fact.

22:14 mircea_popescu the jury found as to the fact.
22:14 asciilifeform (imagine if a judge and jury could themselves be executed, at ANY future point, if a future judge & jury were to find that the earlier had erred.)
22:14 mircea_popescu ...
22:14 asciilifeform how would trial be conducted ?
22:14 mircea_popescu this incidentally is exactly how bitbet works : once a bet has been resolved,
22:14 mircea_popescu THAT RESOLUTION is the reality.
22:15 kakobrekla apart from a few cases where bb fucked up.
22:15 mircea_popescu not thast it never happened : it is not possible for it to have happened.
22:15 asciilifeform and by same token when i start up my fortran and assign 4 to 2, the two integers become equal ?
22:16 * asciilifeform wrote a lisp interpreter as a schoolboy where one could do this
22:16 mircea_popescu mno.
22:16 mircea_popescu there is no "same token".
22:17 asciilifeform papal infallibility ?
22:17 mircea_popescu yes.
22:17 asciilifeform kakobrekla pope ?
22:17 mircea_popescu this is the absolute requisite for men to live in a world "as they wish it to be".
22:17 kakobrekla iirc there was a case or two when the payment went to both sies
22:17 asciilifeform pretty good pope record afaik
22:17 mircea_popescu the alternative is exactly one, and it's known as "chaos" or generally other-bad-things.
22:19 ben_vulpes kakobrekla is pope, mircea_popescu is god, cult transformation is complete
22:19 mircea_popescu afaik kakobrekla has 0 involvement with resolutions on bitbet
22:19 kakobrekla stfu pope sounds cool
22:19 mircea_popescu a ok nm.
22:19 mircea_popescu kakopopo

22:49 asciilifeform and one of those wheelchair things
22:49 * asciilifeform dreamed last night that he rigged an engine to his office chair and decided to never leave it again
22:50 mircea_popescu cuz with dong attachment ?
22:50 asciilifeform wasn't specified
22:50 asciilifeform but for some reason.
22:50 asciilifeform iirc it was more sloth than lust
22:51 * asciilifeform has four-bit emotion register, usually mapped to sloth/greed/wrath/lust
22:52 ben_vulpes heh greed
22:52 asciilifeform two-bit
22:52 asciilifeform motherfucker
22:52 * asciilifeform prolly ought to bed

22:58 asciilifeform it was a very surreal dream in a way which doesn't easily come across.
22:58 asciilifeform had legs, could walk, but ~could not be arsed~
22:58 asciilifeform sorta like if someone were to ask mircea_popescu to build ~his own~ gentoo etc.
23:05 asciilifeform speaking of cults,
23:05 asciilifeform who has seen the film 'sound of my voice' ?
23:05 asciilifeform (or 'the east', by same chick - who wrote -and- lead in the film, about roughly the same thing)
23:05 asciilifeform mega-filmz
23:06 asciilifeform afaik she isn't in business any longer. which is imho a shame. was very much sui generis.
23:12 mircea_popescu ican't say i did
23:12 * mircea_popescu adds to list.
