00:50 pete_dushenski BingoBoingo: motorless is preferable. makes for stronger legs and leaves more skin attached to body.
00:53 BingoBoingo <mod6> wear a helmet << plan for at least first 10 kilomiles
00:54 BingoBoingo pete_dushenski: But motorless doesn't sound like enraged lawnmower
01:04 pete_dushenski BingoBoingo: that's why you put in headphones for maximum soundtrack. you can then listen to anything in the world other than the pissed cars and pedestrians flipping you off after you cut them off
01:05 BingoBoingo That doesn't sound much like oppressing others
01:05 pete_dushenski motorless also has the advantage of being immune to road laws. it's like having diplomatic immunity
01:07 pete_dushenski not quite http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-11#1654485 levels but you can at least run reds.
01:07 a111 Logged on 2017-05-11 15:40 mircea_popescu: let me point out that a) i visited, when i felt like ; b) they gave me a 10 year visa back in 2000. i was one of the i dunno, maybe dozen romanians with one, at the time ? c) they fucking held the embassy open while my driver was going 100 on the wrong way in bucharest because i met some friends and got to drinking and we lost track of time and we were late. eventually got a police escort to do it under color of law at least,
01:09 pete_dushenski as an aside, this mircea_popescu retelling blows my feeble canadian mind no matter how many times i read it. i'm not sure there's been a single person in the history of this great arable land that's had an impromptu motorcade like that.
01:10 mircea_popescu joining nato utterly ruined the place.
01:11 pete_dushenski BingoBoingo: is motorhelmet not required by law in mo ? or what happens after first 10 kilomiles ?
01:11 pete_dushenski mircea_popescu: guess so
01:13 pete_dushenski in other quantifiable tragedies, these are allegedly the quants who 'run wall street'. seriously sorry lot : https://archive.is/HU2Nn/dfc7e5f98f4d716186ceb87157295d37c231f5cb.jpg

01:30 BingoBoingo ben_vulpes: tool around on back roads, fun in farm country, and intercontinental travel ability
01:31 mircea_popescu by your very loose... standards, latrine on cartwheels may qualify for "intercontinental travel ability"
01:32 ben_vulpes BingoBoingo: from experience, back roads have an absurdly high incidence of dipshits over the line in blind corners
01:33 BingoBoingo ben_vulpes: Around here backroads don't have lines
01:33 ben_vulpes quittit
01:33 ben_vulpes you know what i mean
01:33 mircea_popescu the lines are optional neh ?
01:33 BingoBoingo Yes, thanks to "chipsealing"
01:34 BingoBoingo Anyways motorcycle seems like good way to practice steps 3 and 11

01:36 BingoBoingo ben_vulpes: You do know they have 31337 ass armor nao?
01:36 ben_vulpes BingoBoingo: trip report!
01:36 BingoBoingo pete_dushenski: One can only have so much fun meditating
01:37 ben_vulpes BingoBoingo: why not buy a shitty amcar from the nineties and practice drifting around those curves
01:37 BingoBoingo ben_vulpes: Well, still in information gathering phase, hence consulting esteemed lords
01:37 ben_vulpes at least the inevitable pebkac is less likely to be lethal in that case
01:38 ben_vulpes and i've been having such a good time reading qntra of late
01:41 ben_vulpes oh subject of, BingoBoingo, "was heckled for being himself insufficiently vulgar language towards..."

09:06 mircea_popescu this is good for fiat!
09:06 trinque must be, lol.
09:07 mircea_popescu it's so fucking amusing to me, how derps always pretend like they got all the optionality and all the time in the world. hurr durr i'm some random chick, almost hot, almost smart ? clearly i don't have to jump on this guy the moment i see him. nah, let time pass, let me "figure things out", he'll still be here. then get all butthurt when "that slut" did EXACTLY what subs shopuld be doing. "omg she just jumped on him started t
09:07 mircea_popescu hrowing her clothes off THAT SLUT!!!" orly ?
09:08 mircea_popescu and it goes the same everywhere. hurr durr i'm poor but i trhink i;m smart. and i want bitcoin. mp made eulora ? you knopw what ? i'll fuck around with nothing in particular, see what uppity tortilla is going, there's plenty of time. mp will be around forever!!1
09:08 mircea_popescu yes, he will, lol.
09:08 mircea_popescu oh, #trilema ? whatever, let me just finish "correcting" these wikipedia articles. #trilema can wait.
09:09 mircea_popescu suuure it can. and that total psychopath mp, how he beheads people for NO REASON!!!!
09:09 mircea_popescu they were just...!
09:12 trinque girl's a nanny to this derpy liberal fambly, shiftless dad says to breadwinner surgeon mother "something something web wallet oh also I have this shitty antminer". mother immediately asks "how will they tax it though". girl asks whether he actually holds the private keys, rolls eyes.
09:12 trinque makes me proud.
09:13 mircea_popescu lel
09:17 diana_coman lol, it's ok; argentinians are/have been -happily! - waiting as well and they will keep at it indefinitely, what
09:17 mircea_popescu that process has turned a country which cca 1950 was in the top 5, ABOVE CANADA, into something struggling to not be overtaken by the gabon.
09:18 mircea_popescu and there is no rhetorical flourish in the above ; it is exact and correctly descriptive.
09:18 mircea_popescu for as long as your antecessors accumulated fat lasts, you can pretend. after which, welcome to jobbagy, and complain to my asshole about "the unfairness of it all".
09:18 diana_coman it's ok, I hear they got now a CS conference in Buenos Aires and they get therefore to steal participants' laptops,it's all a craze
09:19 mircea_popescu lel. you ever seen those fucks at a conference btw ?
09:19 mircea_popescu total romania 1990, they attempt to steal the mic to talk about themselves.
09:19 trinque I can't imagine it's unlike the pretenders at this or that javascript con
09:19 mircea_popescu they got this narrative, that gotta be spun, that's the public activity.
09:19 * diana_coman has recently been under a bit of avalanche of pictures from latest ICSE in Buenos Aires and she's SO HAPPY to not be there
09:19 mircea_popescu exactly where ustards will end up. already are, what with http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-22#1660148
09:19 a111 Logged on 2017-05-22 17:44 asciilifeform: umd puts out a 'newspaper', also. at one time it was ~readable if a snore. today -- ~100% 'ohnoez campusrape, moarfunding'
09:19 mircea_popescu you remember what i'm talking about, i'm sure.
09:20 diana_coman and all the "they stole my laptop" "they entered conference rooms and tried to steal a laptop"
09:20 diana_coman ah yes; and fwiw it's anyway still live and well in Ro as well
09:20 mircea_popescu heh.
09:21 mircea_popescu trinque it's somewhat unlike, in that it's a very specific stupidity, alligned, coherent. SASER if you will.
09:21 mircea_popescu literally, there's some words in pre-glued structures that must be emitted with specified frequency or they get uncomfortable.
09:21 mircea_popescu like chickens going prrrrr prrrr in their coop at night.
09:21 trinque tribal chants eh?
09:21 mircea_popescu yep.
09:23 mircea_popescu anyway, working great for them, soberania & argentina no es un pais pobre ftw. meanwhile they ain't got two empanadas to rub together and uni profs are buying socks on credit.
09:25 diana_coman mircea_popescu> for as long as your antecessors accumulated fat lasts, you can pretend. after which, welcome to jobbagy, and complain to my asshole about "the unfairness of it all". <- well, fat of ancestors can only be eaten/spent, but not sustained without own muscle; so basically it makes sense: they are searching for their own *real* level/position as downwards as that might be; not as if they are aware of it or need be, bu
09:25 diana_coman t that's how it goes
09:25 mod6 mornin'
09:25 diana_coman morning mod6
09:25 mircea_popescu quite so.
09:25 mod6 how's it goin diana_coman?
09:26 diana_coman quite well,thanks; fighting the swamps of planeshit as usual these days
09:26 mircea_popescu ALSO a fine example of the whole "happy while in denial"
09:26 * diana_coman will be really happy when those are finally drained
09:27 mod6 yeah. it sounds awful.
09:27 diana_coman in denial of what? they are happy because they are on the road to where they need to be; they don't know it/acknowledge it,so what difference does that make?
09:27 trinque I dunno that so much agency is involved, though. These are the descendents of empty creatures that used to be animated by the flow of will from their owners.
09:27 trinque well in the argie case, mixed with indigenous whatever, I guess.
09:28 mircea_popescu diana_coman evidently.
09:29 mircea_popescu trinque very much indigenous. see rosas, for instance. guy is EXACTLY a "bad tyrant" by the "our democracy" bestiary ; was ELECTED. with genuine majority.
09:29 mircea_popescu by a people who had their head screwed on right.
09:30 mircea_popescu only known similar example being soviet union. stalin - also elected. except rosas didn't actually behead his own lieutenants or all thje rest of the nonsense associated with stalinism. which is why they never fucking mention him.
09:30 trinque might be racis, but the more tribal types always end up 1) out-fucking and 2) opting for dr prince james ibonga
09:31 mircea_popescu im not sure there is such a thing as a tribal type. basically any group of hucows has some humans and some cows mixed in. what you call "tribal types" is where cows are biologically dominant. cultivate the population for a few generations, it's just as capable to northern italy 15cento as northern italy itself. which, if you decultivate for a few generations...etc.
09:32 mircea_popescu the interplay between biological (ie, headcount) and political (ie, powerspeech count) domination in the hucow herd is ~the whole of history, anthropology, sociology etc.
09:32 trinque aha, totally agree. was groping for same with "animated by will of superiors"
09:32 mircea_popescu aha.
09:33 mircea_popescu so it's rather nonsensical to say "blacks are dumb". if you spend a century killing the humans, you'll be left with mostly cows.
09:33 mircea_popescu kinda what the russians were trying to do to the polish, re katyn etc.
09:33 mircea_popescu smarter than zee germanz.
09:34 mircea_popescu anyway, there's a reason every army prefers the enemy kill its infantry than it's officers -- and it's also how war improves the population.
09:34 trinque a great aunt of mine, from oldschool italian family of some note, said to my mother "The air here is toxic to family."
09:34 trinque not speaking there of the anglo notion of fambly
09:34 mircea_popescu the only problem with such improvement is that the notion that "we shouldn't hafta die" becomes universal and then therefore...
09:35 trinque maybe why I give too much weight to the biological; italians are racist as hell after all
09:35 trinque were anyway, no such thing as italians here now
09:35 mircea_popescu trinque aha! quite very much http://trilema.com/house-of-strangers
09:35 mircea_popescu show it to your grandmother, she might appreciate.
09:35 trinque dead
09:35 trinque the lady I'm speaking of; grandfather would be the related one
09:36 mircea_popescu well, if you see her.
09:38 * trinque will have to check out
09:40 asciilifeform trinque: biologically -- at least to naked eye -- ar folx are entirely european
09:40 trinque I recall the smell of tragedy around the italian side of family; it was the gnarled vestige of something that would claim lineage back to old mancinus
09:40 asciilifeform at least in the capital
09:40 mircea_popescu ukrs, also.
09:40 asciilifeform aha
09:41 mircea_popescu fuck, the chinese are starting to look european from behind.
09:41 trinque successive compromises, gotta leave italy because lets not die in the street with mussolini, gotta leave new england because hierarchy is illegal, lets just wither here on this beach.
09:41 * mircea_popescu suspects "looking european" is simply a placeholder for "looking like your entire fambly didn't starve since the day it was invented"
09:41 mircea_popescu trinque should have gone to mexico. hierarchy does fine.
09:41 trinque aha. didn't, and *entirely their fault*
09:42 mircea_popescu nfi why the italians went to the us and to argentina, the socialist shitholes at the two ends of the continent.
09:42 trinque I cannot believe the fucking squander
09:42 asciilifeform btw why mircea_popescu not in mexico ?
09:42 mircea_popescu asciilifeform i am a being of ~pure energy, my presence is chiefly nonphysical!
09:42 mircea_popescu i like the weather here, what.
09:43 asciilifeform lolk
09:43 mircea_popescu +ticas tetonas. wtf, mexicans. i can buy saddlebags at the store.
09:45 trinque asciilifeform: if considered earnestly I have to blame the clown-suit socialism and decadent descendents
09:46 trinque though if danielpbarron's version caught on I'd much prefer that to teh alternatives
09:47 trinque unbelievable rot flows out of this place "lakeway church" nearby, literally "give us your money and god will... like... manifest you some more"
09:47 mircea_popescu tbh, cca 1880 it'd have been rather hard to predict us will simply check out, let the dumbest of the dumb handle affairs for a century.
09:47 trinque path runs straight through all those idiot christian revivals
09:47 mircea_popescu the unholy alliance of neoprotestant old men + bored housewives. horrible.
09:47 mircea_popescu trinque quite so. the men permitted the women to betray the house of their master for "the house of the lord".
09:48 mircea_popescu beyond fucking scandalous. should have whipped them face to face.
09:49 trinque indeed, the way these women speak of Teh Lord is fraught with perverse sexuality. modern male cuck is her beloved son.
09:49 mircea_popescu quite.
09:49 mircea_popescu fucking mary complex.
09:54 mircea_popescu i suppose the retrospective correct analysis is, 1. you get a bunch of elite people get together (everyone who made the trip was elite -- else they couldn't afford the significant proceedings ; this includes the slaves, for the same reason -- if they weren't 10s nobody'd have taken them across and that's what in africa cca then it meant to be elite) ; 2. they have no way to communicate, for lack of language (because language
09:54 mircea_popescu is very much http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-21#1587276 ). consequently a situation of "whoever forges common language first wins" and so therefore 4. idiotic derpage "bible" crap won BECAUSE it was the ~only common ground.
09:54 a111 Logged on 2016-12-21 18:32 mircea_popescu: because no, words don't "have meanings". your meanings for ANY WORD are a function of ALL THE OTHER WORDS YOU KNOW. which is why my definitions regularily blow out english dictionaries, wikipedia and other sources of "wisdom" out of the water - i know more words, and in this knowledge i know all the words i know ~better~. infinitely and irreproducibly so.
09:55 mircea_popescu if this does not prove bible is a poisonous, anti-human text which one follows to his perdition, nothing does.
09:56 asciilifeform the plantators were , by all indications, aware of this
09:56 mircea_popescu obviously the elite christian response would be to point out that the basis of unholy communion was in no sense the holy writ, but merely what every language recalled of it, which is to say they distilled all the holy out of the writ.
09:57 mircea_popescu perhaps. nevertheless... unreliable item. (which is exactly catholic doctrine : "follow bible without priest, you'll go straight to hell in handbasked". it sounds absurd but then again it's lived history.)
09:57 mircea_popescu asciilifeform mebbe.
09:57 mircea_popescu but just as whiskey was indian's bible, so was bible imigrants' whiskey.
09:57 trinque I take in danielpbarron's, when he speaks of it, that it is a knotted rope with which he beats himself. the other folks babbling about it, it's a damned gold star of "I am god's child"
09:57 mircea_popescu actual alcohol couldn't have gotten them, caucasians are used to it.
09:58 trinque former's sort of an odd "I will wear weighted clothing and thus be stronger"... the "forgiveness of sin" thing I suppose lets one take the weights off time to time.
09:59 trinque I can also see the wisdom in seeing oneself as by nature, a lying sack of shit, requiring discipline to forge a human from the clay.
09:59 trinque none of this is present in Christ (TM)

10:05 mircea_popescu the five provinces of the world. wu shu or w/e it';s called.
10:17 mircea_popescu for instance : the reason for eg, "trump is nazi" narrative is possibly mostly based on the observation that country of russia bothers and disturbs country of our democracy just like country of muslim bothers and disturbs the good country of africa and therefore the russians must be nazis and probably the muslims are also spies! notwithstanding that they have serious problems with comprehending basic crypto etc. trump must be
10:17 mircea_popescu a nazi because reasoning through simile!
10:18 mircea_popescu which is the true boon of democracy : if everyone must be a people because they look kinda like one, then everything must be something else because it vaguely looks like it, and welcome to the dark ages.

10:41 asciilifeform 'Whether it's corporations or governments, digital surveillance today is widespread. Tox is easy-to-use software that connects you with friends and family without anyone else listening in. ' << lol!!

10:42 mircea_popescu diana_coman you know, ~everyone there wears their rucksacks in front like total fucking retards (the REASON that type of bag was invented by zee germanz, and the reason it became popular esp for schoolkids, is that it leverages the weight to improve posture.

10:42 mircea_popescu asciilifeform not tox, the other one. tox we already lulzed at.
10:42 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: the linked piece cites 'qtox'
10:42 asciilifeform so, it.
10:42 mircea_popescu ...

10:52 mircea_popescu you're terrible.
10:52 mircea_popescu anyway, their contact scheme (summarized/cleanned up : cookie + pubkey + signature with same pubkey) is not terrible. uses rsa, which is a +.
10:53 mircea_popescu contact id based on pubkey, i have nfi why they think it dun leak metadata ; also no idea why they bundled tor in it.

14:35 asciilifeform MEANWHILE!
14:36 asciilifeform compared performance of 'kindergarten' multiplier ( halfword at a time, uses machine's MUL instr. which apparently IS constant-time on x86 (but NOT on arm! would need test routine at warmup to establish if can use MUL ) )
14:36 asciilifeform halfword, rather than word, at a time, because of the idiocy of compilers, which LOSE the carry flag (see last 4 or so threads re subj)
14:37 asciilifeform so to get X * Y -> product, carry
14:37 asciilifeform gotta split X and Y into half-words, and multiply a half-word at a time, into a word-sized space
14:37 asciilifeform and take upper half of THAT, as carry.
14:37 asciilifeform anyway this is substantially faster than ancient egyptian mul,

19:01 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes why are you so preoccupied with toilets, anyway
19:03 ben_vulpes it is a very /annoying/ and /present/ tell of how far this civilization has fallen.
19:03 ben_vulpes failure to maintain capital equipment, failure to give a shit about basic amenities you know working...
19:04 mircea_popescu in fairness i never met a 20something usian who could fix a toilet.
19:06 ben_vulpes yeah which is its own indictment of the place
19:07 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: who could ? or who ~would~ ?
19:07 mircea_popescu wait until i point out i've never met anyone under 30 who both spoke english and could properly butcher a goat.
19:07 mircea_popescu asciilifeform could. i have this magic want which takes the "would" away.
19:07 ben_vulpes it's not just that nobody bothers to fix the toilets, it's that they literally /cannot/, would rather prattle on at city council about implementing new taxes to pay for urban community gardens to feed the poor kale or what the fuck ever eudaly wants to wank off to this week
19:08 shinohai Simple, we use our feces to fertilize garden and therefore need no toilets!

19:31 asciilifeform asciilifeform can't easily picture an adult man , with two hands, who could not fix toilet
19:32 asciilifeform on other hand, i've never owned an entire goat, so cannot claim to be first class goat cook.
19:33 mircea_popescu asciilifeform you ever seen that great bunuel film, "the exterminating angel" ?
19:33 asciilifeform nein
19:34 mircea_popescu prior to modernity, one could also not easily picture adult man, with two legs, who could not leave the fucking room.
19:34 mircea_popescu but as it is, the problem'd be that their mental object for a toilet does NOT EVEN FUCKING HAVE THE OPENABLE PROPERTY.
19:34 mircea_popescu what fucking fix. they can't open it anymore than they can fuck the woman on the deserted island. "nobody to introduce us!!1"
19:35 mircea_popescu what, you thought http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-20#1659774 was a joke ? it was no fucking joke. the price of ipads is imbecility.
