10:55 mircea_popescu aha ?

11:10 * PeterL took a stats class in college, but that was many years ago
11:10 mircea_popescu poisson was actually a doctor, and clasically his thing is applied to the question "if on average the er sees six patients a day, what are the odds of it seeing 74 this monday morning"

11:26 mircea_popescu i am unsure about that part ; left to their own devices female gender expression is what you see in 1970s pornos.

12:17 asciilifeform well normally it works like stage magic, 'looksee, we broke! rabbit from hat' 'oh noe we didn't put the rabbit in beforehand'
12:17 mircea_popescu i dunno ; the "two weeks to take mosul" worked even better than that.
12:18 asciilifeform wasn't that after the 'vietnamization' of iraq ? (what they called the last handover-of-quagmire-to-aboriginals)

14:22 asciilifeform as for the trial, the description reads quite like every other 'seekrit evidence' affair.
14:23 asciilifeform with bonus dose of 'ooh we did not find everything we wanted, He Must Have Burned It'
14:24 asciilifeform from my perch, carmack is an esr -- he was enriched in fiatola by praying to 'intellectual property' molloch, and now what molloch gave, he taketh away.
14:28 ben_vulpes trial is marvelous expansion of moloch's reach
14:29 ben_vulpes asciilifeform: carmack had to show up, new employer was on trial.
14:29 ben_vulpes nonparticipation is "all our assets are in btc, get fucked"
14:29 ben_vulpes obviously not a possible route for zuckerberg.
14:43 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: carmack is not unlike kamenev and zinoviev -- a creature of the system that in the end devoured him
14:48 ben_vulpes id software, a tentacle?
14:48 ben_vulpes at this point the obvious rejoinder is "if not in wot -- tentacle"
14:48 asciilifeform the ~pile of usd~ is a tentacle
14:49 asciilifeform the intentions of the folx sitting on top of said pile -- distant, secondary thing
14:50 ben_vulpes by virtue of it being fiatola, the possessor is a tentacle?
14:50 asciilifeform a fat balance in an 'international komyoonity'-compliant fiatola bank is quite like, e.g., fleet of winblows boxen, or iPnojes, etc. -- a golemtronic appendage of usg, rather than instrument of the supposed owner
14:51 asciilifeform the latter plays the part of a draft horse -- housed and fed while he continues to do as he is told, otherwise, whipped, and if incorrigible, sent to butcher
14:52 asciilifeform (or, in some cases, a pig -- raised for the table to begin with. i do not know enough re carmack to say which type of farm animal he was groomed as)
14:56 thestringpuller or maybe carmack is man who couldn't control own monster he created and killed him
14:56 thestringpuller quite common for gamedevs.
14:56 asciilifeform thestringpuller: elaborate ?
14:59 thestringpuller when ID came under control of ZeniMax to begin with...
14:59 thestringpuller Carmack lost control of the machine and it ate him.
15:02 asciilifeform thestringpuller: carmack & co sold the firm, neh
15:02 asciilifeform for, as always happens, pixie-gold.
15:03 asciilifeform with it, as also often happens, he sold his arse.
15:03 asciilifeform now -- it was claimed by the purchaser.
15:10 ben_vulpes always a shame to see people trading unhedged.
15:11 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: how would you have behaved in carmack's position?
15:12 asciilifeform ( and since mircea_popescu is asleep, i will quote my robopopescu, 'carmack should not have been in this position to begin with, should have been making rockets for hezbolla, instead of 3d goggles' )
15:13 ben_vulpes i'm not the kind of guy who "just wants to keep making video games", so i'd never have stuck around in the first place.
15:14 ben_vulpes it's not "fuck you money" if you can't actually say "fuck you".
15:14 ben_vulpes (bought moar btc obviously)
15:19 ben_vulpes even if carmack is still extracting the remainder of his golden handcuffs at facebook, does the penalty impact him terrifically, beyond the decline in asset value of fb stock?
15:20 asciilifeform i've nfi. but would be surprised if he is not 'made example' of, to remind other carmacks that anal virginity can be sold ~once~
15:21 ben_vulpes what is anal virginity, rights to code produced by a carmack?
15:22 asciilifeform aha. sorta like the racker pg et al run.
15:22 asciilifeform *racket
15:30 ben_vulpes 'like' how? isn't the yc racket a straightforward "give us a large fraction of your eyeballcorp for a pittance and some quite likely useless advice"?
15:30 ben_vulpes or did i miss out on yc making bank from all of the devs the rights to whose work they now own a fractional slice of
15:33 asciilifeform exactly same. carmack et al sold id co. for $bagoffiatola. which they, quite likely, delusionally thought to be capable of buying such a thing as a defense against the new owner in case of arse claim.

21:04 mircea_popescu sooo apparently freenode is under standing orders to disconnect this box
21:05 ben_vulpes TIGHT
21:05 ben_vulpes the subterfuge grows ever more obvious
21:05 mircea_popescu these dorks are barely qualified to partiicpate in highschool./
21:06 ben_vulpes mircea_popescu: kicked by nick? ip? other fingerprinting?
21:06 mircea_popescu "lagged out".
21:06 mircea_popescu because totally, that's how the internet works.
21:06 mircea_popescu i dunno, i guess i should be impressed or something ? in any case i aren't ; grow a pair, come be slaughtered like pigs already wtf.
21:08 ben_vulpes message displayed in chan is "ping timeout: 260 seconds"
21:08 ben_vulpes i don't really want to know any more about the irc protocol than i already do
21:08 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: same fleanodetron each time? or different boxen
21:08 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: protocol fits on a playing card
21:09 ben_vulpes asciilifeform: "commands" as well?
21:09 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: if you dun 'pong' within few seconds of being 'pinged', drops
21:10 mircea_popescu asciilifeform using the same verne yes.
21:10 mircea_popescu asciilifeform the box pings alright. but hey, "can't hear lalala".
21:10 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: also subject to all classical tcp abuses (enemy can close connection for you without breaking a sweat or any cooperation from counterparty)
21:10 mircea_popescu asciilifeform cooperation from counterparty is certainly giving out ips.
21:11 asciilifeform helps, but not required.
21:11 mircea_popescu in this case it is, yea.
21:12 asciilifeform a tap on any of a dozen boxes (e.g., archive.is) will reveal ip used by any of the folx here on a particular day.
21:12 mircea_popescu i do not use this box for any other prupose.
21:12 mircea_popescu so yes, the tap went to fleanode.
21:13 mircea_popescu hey, "law abiding" right ? all it takes for the empire of rogues to exist is a bunch of law abiding dorks.
21:14 mircea_popescu and in other lulz, there's apparently a city in pennsylvania called "california", which has a university, which is called... california university. in pennsylvania.
21:14 mircea_popescu i imagine they have a dentist specializing in bucktooth palleatives with a fabulous practice
21:15 * hanbot goes to said uni's site, sees "vulcan information portal", leaves

21:18 mircea_popescu but yes, very much "creature of system". what's usg oligarch to do ? not like he has any value to anyone else.
21:20 mircea_popescu http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20170203/#196 << people who live in prison are stuck learning prison conceptual universe. plox do, how's one to explain.
21:20 scriba Logged on 2017-02-03: [20:21:11] <ben_vulpes> what is anal virginity, rights to code produced by a carmack?
21:21 mircea_popescu it certainly follows that if my pet takes a liking to someone else i'll shoot it, wtf is it my pet for ? there's no pet divorce.
21:24 mircea_popescu http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20170203/#206 << yeah, someone and his cat apparently.
21:24 scriba Logged on 2017-02-03: [21:05:19] <shinohai> Someone wants to be mircea_popescu
21:24 mircea_popescu who the fuck is "btc.top" mining pool ? did they put the toomim brothers back in the vat, took them out as green lantern or something ?
21:25 mircea_popescu "Zhuoer, who speaks in broken English, therefore his quotes have only cosmetically been modified to make them grammatically sound, tells CCN that he learned" << epic ethic flavour! minorities know best!
21:25 shinohai Suddenly all these new Chinese mining pools coming the fuck outta nowhere.
21:25 mircea_popescu is chinese better than romanian in terms of symbological ethnicality though ? I GUESS TIME WILL TELL!
21:26 shinohai Since I came to #trilema, I trust few people who can't speak more than one language.
21:26 mircea_popescu monolinguals make great draft horses and naught much else.
21:31 mircea_popescu http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20170203/#220 << pussy offering itself up for grabs, eh ? and then we're supposed to buy into this whole "i'm totally angry" narrative ? aww.
21:31 scriba Logged on 2017-02-03: [22:13:54] <asciilifeform> 'Swedish Deputy Prime Minister and Climate Minister Isabella Lövin appeared to mock the Trump administration with a photo of herself surrounded by women as she signs a climate law.'

21:37 mircea_popescu asciilifeform the main problem with the world in general is this cloud of university plankton.
21:38 mircea_popescu i have nfi why they're permitted to still exist.
21:38 asciilifeform ikr?
21:38 mircea_popescu i guess as per your "i can trivially pretend to have a 1TH man through employing 1k 1GH chickens" but still.
21:39 asciilifeform unlike these chickens, hash splits nicely, and still pulls, like the housecats pulled freya's chariot
21:39 mircea_popescu here's the scoop : if you're a nobody-professor-of-something-or-the-other you aren't above the average barrista. there is legitimate need for many many girls working the bar, working the pole, working the spotlight, working the suckers, working the cock etc.
21:39 mircea_popescu there is NO need of twenty "professors of philosophy".
21:39 mircea_popescu asciilifeform aha.
21:39 mircea_popescu meanwhile all the panglossen are entirely wasting the baron's cheese.
21:39 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: scarcely ever are these d00dz professor of anything
21:40 asciilifeform typically -- academipeon
21:41 mircea_popescu asciilifeform http://dblp.uni-trier.de/pers/hd/c/Charlet:Arnaud << random nobody, did a coupla of papers in a decade, moved on to gay for pay or w/e it is they do to support themselves in europe these days.
21:42 asciilifeform this dun look like a papermonkey, but moar like industrial grunt ordered to write paper once a decade by pointyhair boss
21:42 asciilifeform monkey churns out one per ~week, typically.
21:43 mircea_popescu Project Management Officer at EDF Région de Marseille, France Ingénierie mécanique ou industrielle
21:43 mircea_popescu Précédent EDF, The University of British Columbia Enseignement
21:43 mircea_popescu seems EXACTLY uniplankton to me.
21:43 mircea_popescu and no, there IS NO fucking reason british columbia should even have a refurbished adult theatre which it pompously if pointlessly calls "university"
21:44 shinohai What a waste of a perfectly good Adult theatre
21:44 asciilifeform iirc pete_dushenski went there?
21:44 mircea_popescu it is not physically possible for the barren fucking wastes to have such a thing as a university much like it's not possible for a two inch songbird to have "an erect penis"
