12:26 mircea_popescu The California Supreme Court took up its first diversity case in almost seven years today, agreeing to decide the legality of San Francisco's program that grants preferences for aryan contractors. The court granted a hearing on appeals by two companies that say the city ordinance violates Proposition 209, the 1996 initiative that outlawed aryan preferences in public contracting, employment and education

12:27 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo might actually be a good idea for qntra to establish a standard procedure to do this.
12:28 mircea_popescu there is really little cause to discuss usg behaviours in any other terms, and there's very good cause to NOT discuss it in the terms usg itself comes up with.
12:28 mircea_popescu after all, no physch writes up disease in patient terms.
12:28 * asciilifeform has followed this dictum since forever.
12:29 mircea_popescu in general the first requirement of thought is "use language derived from the objects not the subjects"
12:30 mircea_popescu of course, for some reason he calls it navrozov's

12:36 phf to some extent init.scm is like a v patchset, functions referencing functions, which is in turn a popularity contest, except not directly supported by wot
12:36 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo i mean specific transforms. "minority groups" to be rendered "aryans". etc. would require some time spent with the fishwraps i guess.
12:36 BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: Aha
12:36 mircea_popescu phf ithought we were disucssing the cl vs scheme thing ?
12:37 mircea_popescu "Under the Republic an almost unlimited frankness in public utterances was tolerated and a considerable confusion of the mind, unfeigned and unabashed, was bared to everyone's inspection. Under the Dictatorship only one idea of political and philosophical relevance could be safely expressed. As a result, public utterances became uniform and, in the same proportion, insincere." heh. said of every republic ever.
12:38 BingoBoingo "minority groups" likely transforms on its context to "political patrons" "loyal mobs" and "select demographics"
12:38 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo the power of this scheme, such as it is, is reductionism. specifically : map a large number of idiocies on the same (historical) term for similar idiocies. it is a dangerous gamble.
12:38 mircea_popescu and of course never is the gamble discussed, or the mechanism for that matter.

~ 19 minutes ~
18:30 phf it's not clear to me how to enforce it without human in the loop. a monkey can enforce gpl, but it takes thinking human in the loop to identify a wrecker code
18:32 mircea_popescu well, if there is wrecker code there's probably a systematic problem at work
18:32 mircea_popescu imo gpl/gnu/foss/blabla is all sunk by the fact that they wish to oppose SOME effects of socialism, while staying socialist.
18:32 mircea_popescu put a wot in there, give up on the idea that people are fungible, problem goes away.
18:35 mircea_popescu i suppose this would still be a human as opposed to "technical" problem.
18:35 phf but those are all social solutions.
18:35 mircea_popescu but on thinking about it, i guess in the end i disagree there even could be such a thing as a technical problem.
18:36 mircea_popescu not that the abstract notion isn't tempting. but i fear it may well be one of those, dwim things.

20:07 mod6 asciilifeform: re yesterday (line 47) of some version of the V99997 build script.... I took a look at the one that was deedbot'd and that line was correct.
20:07 mod6 i dunno where that other version came from.
20:08 mod6 i'll dig it up, but none the less, everyone should be using v99995 now
20:08 mod6 thanks to whomever updated the wiki
20:09 mod6 anyway, here is the deedbotted v99997K (http://deedbot.org/build-bitcoind-99997K.sh) -- but this is obsolete. DO NOT USE.
20:09 mircea_popescu how was teh vacation mod6 ?
20:10 mod6 nice :]
20:10 mod6 really quite helpful to just relax for a couple of days.
20:11 mod6 shinohai: cool! maybe take a backup at somepoint before you get to 100% so incase of power-cycle you won't have to start over from genesis.
20:11 mod6 mircea_popescu: how's everything been around here
20:11 mod6 ?
20:11 mircea_popescu pretty good, actually.
20:11 mod6 good deal.

21:35 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: no, why?!
21:35 asciilifeform not as printed on the box, at least!
21:35 mircea_popescu because weird reports from guy re eulora lol.
21:35 asciilifeform let's have it ?

21:36 mircea_popescu i never heard of such thing in lyfe.
21:36 asciilifeform oh for fucks sake
21:36 asciilifeform the highlight.
21:36 mircea_popescu what ?
21:36 asciilifeform nm, found with manual grep
21:36 asciilifeform HIGHLIGHTING DOES NOT WORK
21:36 mircea_popescu dun tell me THIS doesn't work either
21:36 mircea_popescu oh come on.
21:36 asciilifeform nope.
21:36 pete_dushenski "danielpbarron: It autocompletes ./euclient" << top line on my box
21:37 mircea_popescu a href="#t00:21:04" class="time">00:21</a> << your browser is VERY broken
21:37 asciilifeform srsly i have six boxes here with 6 browsers and not one.
21:38 mircea_popescu i don't care. if it doesn't select correctly on a href anchor it's so broken it wouldn't qualify as a browser in 1995.
21:38 asciilifeform but at any rate, if indeed 'readelf opened the game', this is a discovery and ought to be reproduced.
21:38 mircea_popescu yeah but dun work here.
21:38 mircea_popescu course i'm not installing fucking zorin or w/e the thing is called
21:38 asciilifeform wtf even is that
21:38 mircea_popescu "ubuntu more like windows"
21:39 asciilifeform try and at least persuade him to post his readelf binary.
21:39 mircea_popescu a yeah
21:43 pete_dushenski fwiw b-a logs always and everywhere seem to link correctly. maybe eulora logs need some of that kako magic pixie dust ?
21:44 pete_dushenski http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-02-2016#1417045 << weird. this works.

21:47 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: say at least where you actually saw the highlight thing ~work~
21:47 pete_dushenski it works on archive.is, does it not ?
21:47 asciilifeform (on what wwwtrons)
21:48 asciilifeform pete_dushenski: i suspect that it is a js thing
21:48 pete_dushenski as it is on trilema iirc
21:49 asciilifeform same one ?
21:49 asciilifeform bitwise ?
21:49 pete_dushenski ^ mircea_popescu
21:51 * pete_dushenski doesn't know, wasn't there.
21:52 pete_dushenski "SSD UBER rates are higher than disk rates, which means that backing up SSDs is even more important than it is with disks. The SSD is less likely to fail during its normal life, but more likely to lose data." << from punkman's link.
21:54 asciilifeform soooo in other nyooz,
21:54 asciilifeform i recently built what i believe is an exact replica of rms's laptop
21:54 asciilifeform 'thinkpad x60' with libreboot and replacement ('atheros') nic
21:54 asciilifeform it is unusable.
21:54 asciilifeform cpu overheats when building gentoo.
21:55 asciilifeform almost certainly because the compatibility was a bold-faced lie, and the cpu 'frequency scaling' thing doesn't work.
21:55 asciilifeform (explicitly admitted to in the docs, but somehow 'this doesn't matter')
21:56 BingoBoingo Is the heatsink appropriately copper colored or is it laminated with tar?
21:57 asciilifeform solid cu.
21:57 asciilifeform and, again, this is not something that happens normally.
21:57 BingoBoingo ah

21:59 mircea_popescu asciilifeform> pete_dushenski: i suspect that it is a js thing << look at the page source. no js, just a href anchors.
22:00 asciilifeform pete_dushenski: you are still thinking of rms as a self-aware creature, having a thought process
22:00 asciilifeform i am no longer sure that this is true.
22:00 pete_dushenski perhaps so eh
22:12 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Perhaps he has become a lichen as he aged. Half man half malassezia since the toe jam incident.
22:23 punkman are there any alt-RMSes?
22:25 asciilifeform wtf would that even mean ?
22:29 asciilifeform pete_dushenski: when confronted with the idea that his life's work is an utter failure, man tends to wander into some very peculiar corners.

22:50 DicePower Ahh okay, thought I had to decode that hash thing.
22:50 DicePower (which didn't work for some reason)
22:50 mircea_popescu you will, yes.
22:55 asciilifeform https://twitter.com/bejaranodelgado/status/589634676093943808 << cargocult idiots.
22:55 asciilifeform flea as in fleadom.
22:57 mircea_popescu asciilifeform you use tghe wifi ?
22:57 asciilifeform i threw the intel wifi in the trash and installed atheros.
22:57 asciilifeform but yes, i use it.
22:58 asciilifeform its a motherfucking laptop.
22:58 mircea_popescu ah right
22:58 asciilifeform and i own an ir thermometer.
22:58 asciilifeform and fucking hate idiots.
22:59 mircea_popescu maybe i'm thick, but...
23:01 asciilifeform the original card heats, yes. new - no.
23:01 mircea_popescu ah
23:02 asciilifeform plus there is apparently no remnant of doubt that coreboot (aka linuxbios) does not properly handle the variable cpu clock thing, nor the fan controller
23:02 asciilifeform and people just live with this.
23:06 asciilifeform phun phakt, the x60's original bios has 'computrace' infection, though this is mentioned nowhere in the docs, nor in the original 'bios setup' (normally, they do.)
23:07 phf most of the time i spent setting up linux on macbook pro was tracing and eliminating overheating problems
23:07 asciilifeform eliminated how ?
23:09 phf cargoculting /proc and disabling almost everything. on mbp issue is mostly with discrete ATI card
23:09 asciilifeform 'almost everything' being, e.g., what ?
23:10 mircea_popescu what's cargoculting ?
23:10 phf ati card, bus that it sits on, wifi, sd card slot, firewire slot, hdmi, bus that those sit on
23:11 asciilifeform phf: what is even the point? why not throw whole thing in the trash ?
23:11 asciilifeform what is the use of the box without these parts ?
23:11 phf manually forcing cpu to run in save as much battery mode
23:11 asciilifeform ick
23:11 asciilifeform go and gentoo on that.
23:11 asciilifeform what rubbish.
23:11 phf well, that's why i'm back on mac os x in defeat
23:12 phf i gave up because integrated intel card and ati card combination required some fancy grub PEEK/POKE combination, and i didn't want to do grub
23:12 asciilifeform i would have said 'there is a less atrocious machine, the legendary x60' but now i WON'T ...
23:13 phf oddly enough doing that same PEEK/POKE after the linux framebuffer kicked in would blankscreen the machine.
23:13 asciilifeform dual gpu boxes will never work, don't even bother.
23:14 phf i'd probably persevere but it was interfering with my work, only so much you can do with cli emacs, without a proper browser
23:16 phf mircea_popescu: extreme case of "tom knight and the lisp machine", doing things with no understanding hoping to produce desired effect
23:16 asciilifeform at some point (not any time soon, i've elementarily no time) i will replace the thermal paste in the x60 with industrial diamond
23:16 asciilifeform it often helps.
23:16 asciilifeform but srsly wtf.
23:18 phf i have a borrowed carbon x1 that i'm hoping to make use of. guy was running ubuntu on it, and clean slackware install at the very least doesn't exhibit particularly aberrant behaviors
23:18 phf but the whole exercise feels a bit hair shirt
23:20 asciilifeform i draw the line at 'randomly crashes during compiles'
23:20 asciilifeform this is not tolerable.
23:20 phf maybe i can get away with running 10.9 for the next five years at which point b-a will have its own scheme-81 clean room, yeah?
23:22 asciilifeform woah that thing runs at 80c.
23:22 asciilifeform (at 50% cpu utilization)
23:22 phf well, yeah, all those hoops i jumped through, compiling anything non-trivial would kick in fans at 60000
23:22 asciilifeform at least your fans ~work~
23:23 phf ahaha
23:23 phf i see
23:23 asciilifeform libreboot just sort of runs it at mid-rpm at all times.
23:23 asciilifeform and hopes for the best.
23:23 asciilifeform this immediately tells me something about the authors
23:23 asciilifeform namely, that they do not actually use linux (i.e. gentoo) on their boxes
23:23 asciilifeform or the idiocy would have become immediately apparent
23:23 asciilifeform as it dies in the first 20 min. of setup, during the very first compiles
23:26 asciilifeform l0l and randomly looking for this, found something that could be straight out of mircea_popescu's zoo,
