00:31 BingoBoingo OH, now that I mentioned it the SPV niggers are clogging up my errors
00:33 * trinque has learned that beeper services are few and dwindling
00:34 trinque I'm thinking I could do everything I ever wanted by sending beeper alphanumeric messages which designate some URL whose contents are gpg'd
00:34 trinque so you drive along, you do that, you slurp messages from wifi as you can and want to
00:35 trinque whoever said a guy wanted or needed to be accessible 24/7
00:36 BingoBoingo What pager listens on 2.4 or 5 ghz
00:36 trinque no no
00:36 trinque thought was you could page yourself URLs as a means of signaling
00:36 BingoBoingo Also those baud rates, a bitcoind couldn't keep up
00:37 trinque then you go grab the dpaste url or whatever it is from wherever you like
00:37 trinque and decrypt

00:51 danielpbarron trinque, why do you tell lilo to look in sdb ?
00:52 trinque it's meant to be edited, but it really depends on whether you're targeting a USB stick or the hard drive inside
00:53 trinque depends upon the order in which the drives are enumerated
00:53 danielpbarron oh that was meant specifically to make a bootable flash drive?
00:53 danielpbarron anyhoo i figured it out

02:50 punkman "As part of the deal, BoC absorbed the loans and insured deposits of Laiki, formerly the second-biggest bank, after its uninsured deposits had been comprehensively bailed in. The new bank was then recapitalised by converting 47.5% of BoC’s uninsured deposits into equity."
02:50 mircea_popescu the thing is... even after that cyprus thing, there were still peopel thick enough to keep money in greek banks.
02:50 mircea_popescu and even today, there's people with dollars in us banks etc.
02:51 mircea_popescu there's truly no curing human idiocy. butcher them and lay em out in the sun is the only cure.
02:51 punkman yes that's the only reason I keep mentioning the greek situation. Tomorrow it's gonna be you.

13:15 mircea_popescu and on a broader point ; post snowden, seems the usg added a new thing to their manual.
13:15 mircea_popescu "new" anyway.
13:16 ascii_field what part of this is new
13:17 mircea_popescu the kneejerk, field-manual shape of it.
13:17 mircea_popescu it's a very specific thing when a large body of idiots finally implements something for the idiots to do.
13:18 mircea_popescu like the difference between a) linkspamming google and b) a bunch of "infoproducts" on "make money while you sleep" having been sold to the retard forums.

13:28 ascii_field ahahahaha
13:29 chetty gotta love c++
13:29 ascii_field this is why it bugs me when folks (looking at mircea_popescu !) write 'c' and 'c++' interchangeably
13:29 phf look, c++, i'm trying to investigate a specific issue, not travel down your rabbit hole of insanity
13:30 ascii_field 'c', like a mule, will plod along and do a very predictable thing. cpp is like a gigantic sack of cockroaches
13:30 ascii_field mule-shaped.
13:31 ascii_field sorta walks if you kick it. sometimes.
13:31 jurov predictable modulo undefined behavior
13:31 chetty I just love that it does different depending on the weather, or where it calls home today
13:32 ascii_field jurov: don't use the undefined. (note that i specifically said 'c', rather than 'unix' here)
13:32 jurov oh cmon
13:33 jurov even if you do something innocent like printf("%d", sizeof(stuff))
13:33 jurov cmpiler is allowed to compile it to system("rm -rf /")
13:34 mats ?
13:34 ascii_field i'd love to borrow jurov's compiler
13:34 ascii_field it would really liven up my work
13:35 jurov sizeof returns size_t which may or may not be same as int.. and printf expects int here
13:35 jurov hence, undefined behavior
13:35 ascii_field nothing to do with c
13:35 ascii_field but with unix
13:35 ascii_field (of which stdlib is quite arguably part)
13:35 ascii_field that is why i said, ~the language~)
13:36 ascii_field and when a situation like this does come up, a civilized compiler (there is ONLY ONE known, gcc) ~will~ give you useful info re: types
13:36 jurov in that sense std::map nor the boost stuff isn't part of c++, either
13:37 jurov (just to split hairs)
13:37 ascii_field now try getting similarly compact description in a cpp proggy re: e.g., the map issue.
13:37 ascii_field jurov: my point was that cpp allows considerable variance between what is printed on the page and what the code actually generated is.

14:22 punkman misrepresented job-placement rates, ahaha

14:55 mats ie, control of baghdad and damascus
14:56 trinque the thing is, this has never been total war between the USA and Middle East

15:03 trinque we have the stomach for the whole 20th century

15:04 trinque we'll lose ground but there's a vast difference there
15:04 trinque and mind I'm not particularly thrilled at the thought
15:06 trinque I would really like to understand this logic by which the entire US military vanishes, rather than at worst being handed down as an heirloom
15:06 mats we'll see how committed NATO is to fighting ISIS when PMCs fail to take Mosul and a few F-16s get smoked
15:07 trinque not what I was discussing, at least
15:08 trinque whether or not ISIS controls Iraq is not the same question as whether they can destroy the United States
15:09 funkenstein_ trinque, one possibility: if no more paycheck people will just walk away, sell off the gear

15:33 trinque last I checked US soldiers were astoundingly obedient

15:34 chetty the only reason other nations didnt rape us is us had bigger stick, they happily rape each other all the time. Americans are not special and not worthy of special hates
15:34 trinque chetty: that I readily grant
15:35 trinque and to do otherwise would itself be a sort of exceptionalism
15:35 ascii_field chetty: the anglos being the authors of the global rapeatron, with themselves at the apex, earned the hate.

15:45 trinque chetty: that misses my point; I'm contradicting the claim that it doesn't still have a massive, throbbing cock with which to do so

15:46 funkenstein_ most folks will pay you to take them away
15:47 chetty it just turns into this gian finger pointing thing, and in fact I dont think we have a proper clue where those fingers should be pointed.

15:47 ascii_field funkenstein_: don't confuse the freshly-usgificated su republics of 1991 with 'most folks'

15:57 ascii_field it also means, depending on circumstances, 'can't be bombed with slow-moving pilotless planes with impunity' or even 'might fire back if bombarded navally'
15:57 ascii_field for instance, see how these folks pissed themselves with rage when ru wouldn't give up its sole warm water port just because washington asked
16:01 trinque ascii_field: seems to go along with what I'm saying
16:01 trinque USSR "fell" yet Russia was able to keep Crimea when push came to shove
16:02 trinque USA might "fall" too
16:02 ascii_field it remains to be seen if modern ru is ~actually~ sovereign

17:02 mircea_popescu incidentally, /me does not belive "for profit" education can be a thing. you can have for-profit amorous relaitons, something the us claims to be down on. you can't have for-profit education. it is a fundamentally unprofitable activity.

17:12 mircea_popescu and back to the blocks issue : i've had a number of tests on various platforms. it would seem that time to verify blocks does not in fact scale liniarly with the block size.
17:13 mircea_popescu i have no idea why this is.
17:13 mircea_popescu in any case, comercially available home computers do not seem capable to verify full 8mb blocks six to the hour.
17:13 ascii_field mircea_popescu: cache
17:14 ascii_field mircea_popescu: i, too, tested.
17:14 mircea_popescu same results ?
17:14 ascii_field (surprised?)
17:14 ascii_field same result.
17:14 ascii_field and can even describe why.
17:14 mircea_popescu it might be the DISK cache, i guess

17:14 mircea_popescu oh for fucks sake
17:14 mircea_popescu you're exactly right aren't you.
17:14 ascii_field i am right because i have instrumented machines for this.
17:14 mircea_popescu yeah.
17:15 ascii_field (on other occasions, because my arse)
17:15 ascii_field but in this instance, machine.
17:15 mircea_popescu well...
17:15 mircea_popescu larger blocks ain't happening.
17:15 mircea_popescu forget everything. there's not going to be larger l2 caches.
17:15 mircea_popescu probably not ever.
17:15 ascii_field was there any genuine doubt in any genuine head that the mega-blox was a bullet for bitcoin ?

17:15 mircea_popescu no, but that's a different issue.
17:15 ascii_field a bullet's job is not to make mr kennedy's brain work better

17:17 mircea_popescu the effort so far is unimpressive.
17:18 mircea_popescu much cheaper than making a hw accelerator, too.
17:18 mircea_popescu well... in the sense that finding a girlfriend is cheaper than building a submarine in the garage, at any rate.
17:18 ascii_field for them, not expensive at all
17:19 ascii_field it'll be rolled into the 2017 intel shitentium or whatnot

17:19 mircea_popescu it's not as easy as al lthat.
17:19 ascii_field no?
17:20 mircea_popescu well no, they gotta work.
17:20 ascii_field in fact, now i recall that this is already happening

17:23 mircea_popescu and no, they don't get to uise the "quantum" gimmick to push ecc against rsa. like they didn't manage the past three or four gimmicks.
17:23 ascii_field good enough. it'll offload the scratch storage for the elliptic grind to dedicated sram
17:23 ascii_field and avoid blowing cache locality
17:23 mircea_popescu the time i consider changing off rsa is a time after i've taken a piss on the ruins of the white house.
17:23 mircea_popescu hm. that may actually work huh.
17:23 ascii_field mircea_popescu: recall, this is all in my burial notebook

18:39 mircea_popescu i feel kinda scammed, those !up s go for like a bitcoin each iirc.
18:39 bitcoinfailed eh?
18:39 bitcoinfailed no i dont have much to say, i will occasionally read your musings on trilema
18:40 bitcoinfailed just wanted to point out its time to lose the cheap suits
18:42 bitcoinfailed you want something with high armholes so when you lift your arms the entire thing doesnt lift off your shoulders
~ 17 minutes ~
18:59 mircea_popescu lol. this entire "cheap suits" business has its comedic value. here's something you wouldn't know : while visiting here, ben_vulpes got to meet my tailor, on the grounds that we walked by his shop downtown and teh old jewish gentleman ran out to assure his dearly beloved mr popesco that his suit will be done in time.
19:00 mircea_popescu on the other hand, we have yet another bleeting barn animal from anybarn, usa, derping impressively about things he's heard of, via movies.
19:00 mircea_popescu it makes for a decent contrast, which i guess is what all humor comes from.
19:01 mircea_popescu still, 6/10.

19:24 mircea_popescu <ascii_field>wake me up when they close mit << what, you mean THE PREMIERE something something INSTITUTION in THE WORLD!!! ?
19:24 mircea_popescu what nonsense is this! what'd the world do!
19:27 mircea_popescu trinque how do you know he means the part about immigrants and not the part about "the debt of the us shall not be questioned" ?
19:29 mircea_popescu <mats>ISIS is an existential threat at this point in time << he has a point. isis would be the first state actually outside of us policy since soviet russia.
19:30 mircea_popescu <trinque>seems about the same size << the chechens are about the same size. the us is in no sense the same size as the su when it fell. this theory can be readily verified putting the country through the equivalent of the 90s, which is coming regardless.
19:33 mircea_popescu <trinque>the us military will be the last light shut off, not the first << looked at the budget past decade ?
19:33 mircea_popescu the last light shut off is in the office of the guy giving free housing to "needy" voters.
19:35 mircea_popescu <trinque>we'll lose ground but there's a vast difference there << nobody has any incentive whatsoever to be "american". it's not even vaguely an identity. you might wish to be texan, maybe, liek some soviets wished to be russian. but otherwiose, being an iowan or a californian or a wisconsinian or generally an american is the epitome of fair weather friends : for as long as it pays to do so and no longer.
19:35 mats yeah seriously. the army, for instance, is being whittled down to nothing, which has been in the works since rumsfeld/bush
19:35 mircea_popescu <trinque>I would really like to understand this logic by which the entire US military vanishes << the "entrie us military" long ago vanished. it now consists of boys playing video games and girls playing the tomboy. that is not an army, it's a psycho patient support group.
19:36 mircea_popescu in no way different than any other mental healthcare hospital, except it's larger and per-patient cheaper
19:36 mats idea goes: we fight moar proxy wars and don't need so much line infantry, so we'll employ doorkickers and hire out to palantir and academi for the rest
19:36 mircea_popescu right. worked so fucking splendidly over that last siege
19:36 mircea_popescu remember ? we lolled at it in these very logs.
19:36 mats am curious to see mosul.
19:37 mircea_popescu sorta like one's curious to see the 2006 F1.
19:37 mircea_popescu "oh, schumy lost." ?! "haha-had you!"
19:40 asciilifeform usg doesn't really need an army. just an internal gendarmerie
19:40 mircea_popescu <funkenstein_>trinque, one possibility: if no more paycheck people will just walk away, sell off the gear << exactly how it went in russia heh.
19:40 mircea_popescu asciilifeform internal, as in, in your own head ?
19:41 asciilifeform not the least.
19:41 mircea_popescu neone's welcome to furnish his own skull as he sees fit.
19:41 asciilifeform but also generally.
19:42 mircea_popescu <trinque>am I wrong in understanding that there is still a considerable Russian military? << you are wrong in imagining there's any sort of continuity. present day russian military shares nothing at all with the one that ended, and is almost entirely putin's making.
19:42 mircea_popescu much like the third reich military had no debts owed to weimar and generally was hitler's creation.
19:42 asciilifeform nothing but ~80% of the materiel ? l0l
19:42 mircea_popescu the future where russian military was like present day german military seemed the likelier eventuality in 1990.
19:42 mats does usg have suitcase nukes?
19:43 mircea_popescu asciilifeform that old junk ?
19:43 asciilifeform mats: they were Officially (tm) (r) abolished in '90s
19:43 mircea_popescu what's next, "they use the same topsoil!!!"
19:43 mircea_popescu <trinque>the USA has its own oil reserves, many of which have barely been used << so does nigeria. wtf argument is this.

19:45 BingoBoingo Where is the editorial consistency?
19:45 mircea_popescu of the... daily mail ?!
19:45 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 55045 @ 0.00067887 = 37.3684 BTC [-]
19:45 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: demand destruction is, approximately, the dekulakization one does for folks who have nothing
19:46 asciilifeform nothing, that is, but open mouths. so you - close them.
19:46 mircea_popescu <mats>militaries require competent leadership. when i say existential threat, i do not mean ISIS will march on DC << it doesn't want or need to march in dc. all it conceivably might want is to pull a rotherham over at vassar.
19:46 asciilifeform (typically - permanently.)
19:46 mircea_popescu all those preppy white chicks probably make excellent harem slaves.
19:47 * asciilifeform thought that mexico had this 'market' cornered in usa ?
19:47 mircea_popescu <trinque>if there is not a single man inside the us military who can figure out something to do with even fragments of the thing, wtf? << you need to stop being racis.
19:47 mircea_popescu what do you think a military is, some sort of a country club ? it exists to obey orders. the orders atm are on the line of "scoring officers' sensitivity to inane nontopics"
19:47 mircea_popescu asciilifeform mexicans are kinda lazy methinks. the arabs are more serious when they do it.
19:49 mircea_popescu <trinque>and I would expect a military dictatorship period directly following the fall of usg << IF you can find a certain corporal in the army that will get badly defeated and who resents the coupla decades of peace which consist mostly of american teenagers being used as public toilets from rashapur to ankara, then yes, maybe, dictatorship.
19:49 asciilifeform american collective immune system has been massaged on more or less nothing but 'arab' for past decade.
19:49 mircea_popescu that's a big if, tho.
19:49 mircea_popescu yes, but they have paradoxical reaction.
19:49 mircea_popescu most teenaged girls' immune system had been massaged on more or less nothing but "boys" for millenia
19:49 mircea_popescu the result being that behaviour in the walrus gif
19:49 asciilifeform dedicated firmware in play there, no ?
19:50 mircea_popescu where girl goes and kneels before anotehr woman's rapist to get some herself.
19:50 mircea_popescu the firmware in question is both dedicated and ubiquitous.

19:50 mircea_popescu lol
19:50 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: question is, naturally, not 'whether rapist', but 'which'
19:50 mircea_popescu notrly. where the hell is that gif
19:50 asciilifeform .. biggest walrus? clearly not, that one lacked tusks, even.
19:51 asciilifeform biggest penguin? no, walrus

19:51 assbot dpaste: 3C80S67 ... ( http://bit.ly/1MyFAqp )
19:51 mircea_popescu so, walrus is fucking a penguin. and one of those seagulls goes in front of it and exhibits itself for sexual use.
19:51 mircea_popescu it had plenty of other choices, such as for instance, sitting around.
19:52 mircea_popescu but...
19:52 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: iirc, the behaviour is even more automatic and pronounced in certain fish
19:52 mircea_popescu it's the most pronounced in humans.
19:53 mircea_popescu orwell feigned-disgustedly called it "power worship"
19:53 mircea_popescu but the notion the usian will put up any sort of resistence, to any sort of invader, ofany kind come from anywhere...
19:53 mircea_popescu yeah, he would. like the woman puts up resistence. with her uterus.
19:53 asciilifeform didn't we earlier 'there is no american' ?
19:54 mircea_popescu whole fuckthing wouldnt' work too well if you just fell in.
19:54 mircea_popescu asciilifeform "usian" is a population. like the argentine cattle. not a nation.
19:54 asciilifeform aha
19:54 asciilifeform but let's say, texan ? also no resistance? caves in like france in ww2 ?
19:54 asciilifeform uteri at the ready ?
19:54 mircea_popescu texans would prolly ally with the invader if the invader bitchslaped california harsly enough
19:55 mircea_popescu what, "i'm a boy from tenesee here to die for some fat bitch's right to marry her dog" ?
19:55 asciilifeform incidentally, re: the latter, this is not spoken of much in soviet or even modern times, but when germans invaded, the barber shops near the front were packet. with gurlz.
19:55 mircea_popescu myeah.
19:55 asciilifeform *packed
19:56 mircea_popescu i'm sure they were all spies sent by stalin himself to lure the enemy into a false sense of confidence.
19:56 asciilifeform quite
19:56 mircea_popescu (i'm doing alf in b-a of 1939 :D)
19:56 asciilifeform aha l0l
19:57 asciilifeform it is interesting to read the jp rationale for not attempting invasion or even saboteur ops on the u.s. continent in ww2
19:57 mircea_popescu <trinque>chetty: this is not what happened? << no, it is not what happened.
19:57 mircea_popescu merely because the ww2 cost the us less than it cost europe does not mean it wasn't costly.
19:57 asciilifeform summed up to something like 'there's three barrels per man there, and they will all point at us'
19:57 mircea_popescu and generally, no involvement of us in anywhere to date has been economically productive.
19:57 mircea_popescu iraq is still to this day a net loss.
19:57 asciilifeform for country - loss
19:57 asciilifeform for haliburton, lockheed ?

21:10 mircea_popescu ascii_field>vs the more subtle but destructive 'international law' and financial pyramid << in fairness : this was bismarck's idea, to finance the pre-ww1 eurozone. it HAD to be constantly rolled up in higher and higher schemes, because at all points throughout the past two centuries, bismarck's folly (pay now and the more people coming next will pay you) seemed too big to fail.
21:11 asciilifeform as always, l0l
21:11 mircea_popescu and it'll keep getting rolled if at all possible,
21:11 mircea_popescu because renouncing it still to this day seems too much to ask.
21:13 mircea_popescu trinque>china for example builds its *first* aircraft carrier, and people talk about the chinese being a military threat <<< you don't understand how this works. the aircraft carrier is irrelevant. china bet on the winning strat (missile defense) and bet a lot more than the us can afford, and as a result now has unchallangeable area denial ability throughout the shores. this means it can pursue its own, private local
21:13 mircea_popescu policy. which includes japan, indonesia, even australia.
21:14 mircea_popescu this is a political disaster for the us, nothing like the superficial humiliations it has received politically from the likes of putin and practically from the likes of isis
21:14 mircea_popescu because in reaction to this, those countries have, and do, and will reallign.
21:14 BingoBoingo ;;later tell trinque Missouri is probably a better Texas than Texas
21:14 gribble The operation succeeded.
21:14 mircea_popescu now, a graphite baton can survive some cleavage. but a glass baton will shatter.
21:15 mircea_popescu and it would seem the us is all glass. much like hitler's socialist regime, or stalin's socialist regime, the us socialism can not really take defeat well. either they turn it around or they go under, there's no "occupied france" going on.
21:16 mircea_popescu so no, it's not bias. just facts you don't know in contexts you don't grasp.
21:17 mircea_popescu otherwise, i'm about as biased in favour of an empire of china as i'm biased in favour of an empire of grasshoppers.
21:17 mircea_popescu <ascii_field>'military threat', in usg parlance, means 'won't bend over immediately when asked nicely to assume buggery position' << amusingly, this bled from the DoD into the "law enforcement" paramilitary wing.

23:47 hanbot asciilifeform so lemme get something straight here:
23:47 mircea_popescu asciilifeform why surprising ? nobody seriously thought women were in there.
23:47 asciilifeform glaringly, no mention of therealbitcoin
23:47 asciilifeform but all else is a good exposition.
23:48 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: the chumpers, one might suppose, thought this
23:48 asciilifeform hanbot: hm?
23:48 hanbot "orchestra" supercedes "rotor" which supercedes "stator", and the v versioning system is usable (as-is) for "orchestra" only, correct?
23:49 asciilifeform orchestra consists of precisely the same patches which made it into rel1 and those which are being considered by mod6 and ben_vulpes for inclusion in rel2
23:49 mircea_popescu asciilifeform i'm not reading random expose of random derp hoping to matter. sorry.
23:49 asciilifeform hanbot: in its present condition, it supercedes nothing at all, except for the laborious 'here's where to get all the patches and how they depend on each other' docs
23:50 asciilifeform hanbot: it will, possibly, supercede these if and when ben_vulpes, mod6, et al, agree that my current approach is correct.
23:50 pete_dushenski gnite all!

23:50 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: it has snapshots of choice hearnias, with commentary
23:51 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: and a more-or-less accurate (for a non-#b-a denizen) outline of events re: same.
23:51 mircea_popescu good for it. i dun know the author and don't care what he might wish to say one way or the other.
23:52 asciilifeform skip the parts where he talks, then
23:52 asciilifeform (thing is full of screen caps of hearn & gavin and their code, doing their thing.)
23:53 hanbot asciilifeform okay. but supposing i want to try out your versioning system & sign it and all, i -need- the "orchestra" build, do i not?
23:53 asciilifeform anyone who doesn't care for the 'entomology' here - can safely skip whole shebang.
23:53 mircea_popescu they're taken from other people.
23:53 asciilifeform hanbot: you will, yes. but it is not a build, presently. only a set of patches re-created with vdiff and signed - currently by myself only.
23:53 mircea_popescu the thing's basically a usgism, in spirit if not in form.
23:53 mircea_popescu "here's my picture in front of the pyramids"
23:53 mircea_popescu w/.
23:53 mircea_popescu w/e.
23:53 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: entomological interest only, yes.
23:53 * asciilifeform brb eating food
23:54 mircea_popescu im not saying you shouldn't read it or anything, but you asked me what i make of it. i don't.
23:54 hanbot asciilifeform oh, i see. thanks!
23:59 mircea_popescu re the ashley madison thing, i believe it chiefly provides the same service faux exchanges etc provide to the click-bound generation. ie, they get to pretend like they're traders, don juans, what not, all from the safety of their own den, and - crucially - without actually doing it.
