asciilifeform: 'dunno where's what in pygmylandia' != 'dun know that toilet dun plug into mains'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform chet had a screwdriver in her purse. with fittable heads. and a tiny one separately.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but it IS cluelessness.
asciilifeform: chet was from the era when people were people.
asciilifeform: y'know, when chix flew biplanes over german lines and dropped frags
asciilifeform: and died like men.
mircea_popescu: was funny, too, with all the airports and shit. "is that a screwdriver ?" "yeah" "you can't take screwdrivers on the airplane!" "no, it's ok, see, it has fittable heads" "ah... uh... i see. well it's ok then."
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> asciilifeform but it IS cluelessness. << AHA, and it transforms it to more finessed cluelessness with actual education and practice. "Is this fasterner best attacked with ratchet, breaker bar, or impact gun"
mircea_popescu: anyway, i don't score cluelessness for stupidity. it's structured and self defending/perpetuating cluelessness that triggers.
mircea_popescu: most of the girls had no idea eg, thermodynamics puts strict limits and firm relations between movement and energy, including as it pertains to their eating. or that all things that exist can be made and are in fact made. or how to evaluate anything, a distance, a cost, a length or a volume. or so on.
mircea_popescu: they come out of it.
BingoBoingo scores it as indicator of environmental defect
mircea_popescu: just had lulz on a walk with girl yest, in that we saw a larger than common cement mixer on a construction site, and i said it's they're normally like a coupla galon's worth, and she agreed, and then she guessed the present one at 30 and i said it's like 120 yeah and she was totally blown out, no way it's 120 galons ? no, liters. this girl, two years ago, misjudged the volume of a hangar she was physically present in by three
mircea_popescu: degrees of magnitude ; and now found a 4x factor inconceivably off for an item half mile in the distance.
BingoBoingo: Progress (actual sort!) not perfection, works while you work it
mircea_popescu: quite exactly. the normal brain will retool if at all possible.
BingoBoingo: This is why conversion therapy works.
mircea_popescu: i've not found it to work in anyone but the young.

mircea_popescu: very active phuctor these days huh
BingoBoingo: I've seen it work in the old, but then again looking different places.
BingoBoingo: In old requires substantial desperation
BingoBoingo: And still more substantial resignation
mircea_popescu: nah, it leaves sechellae.
mircea_popescu: i suppose different definitions of work
BingoBoingo: Well, there are different degrees of works
BingoBoingo: Daily repreive contingent on maintaining one's spiritual health works when discussion 60 year old alcoholic crack addicts who have more than half a decade of continuous sobriety.
BingoBoingo: Seems to count as works
mircea_popescu: but they can't go into a bar and have a drink.
mircea_popescu: my ex-dumb sluts CAN go into a whatever, starbux, and have a chat with their ex-peers.
BingoBoingo suspects there's less physical pathology in the ex-dumb
mircea_popescu: which was the original point here, started with alf's recoil.
BingoBoingo just likes dropping "conversion therapy works" bomb in log for the point that it is toxic to socialists
mircea_popescu: a is it ?
BingoBoingo: It doesn't feed Inca is one point where it is toxic, but the other point I observe is people when recovering appear to become more ideologically sane as part of transformation.
mircea_popescu: well that;s a given.
BingoBoingo: This makes them more resistant to socialistoid indoctrination. This is why pantsuit loves people smoking the funky green shit.
BingoBoingo: Not occasionally, but habitually
BingoBoingo: Nothing better for pantsuit demographics than brain numbed stoners
BingoBoingo: For every functional, sane, moderate using danielpbarron there are many more who become chemically demotivated and endumbed
mircea_popescu: im sure.

BingoBoingo: Who cares about Law at Harvard?
BingoBoingo: Surely not alumni Hussein Bahamas
mircea_popescu: inb4 somebody comes up with the idea of forbidding black students in missouri from involvement with the dnc.
mircea_popescu: "pantsuitardation. not even once."
BingoBoingo: Hopefully this is an indicator that we are moving into a lulzier part of 2017

BingoBoingo: Congratulations to whaack on his successful submission to Qntra!
whaack: why shux ty
mircea_popescu: ahahaha nice.
mircea_popescu: what do the brits need their own brains for anyway. off with their heads, miserable half-man species.
mircea_popescu: if that isn't an occupation government, what exactly would constitute one ?
BingoBoingo: BART isn't Brits, it is "Bay Area 'Rapid' Transit"
mircea_popescu: oh isn't it british assrape something ? my bad then!
BingoBoingo: So presumably raid was less Raperham and more Ferguson
mircea_popescu: this is shockingly enough even more retarded. what will the inference be, that a buncha azns did it ?
BingoBoingo: But it could have also been good at math or owned all the property.
BingoBoingo: lol, I typed too slow
mircea_popescu: those fucking pinoy man, always gangsta and shit.
BingoBoingo: lol, just wait till those Hmong find the internet
mircea_popescu: also, samoans.
mircea_popescu: those are the worst. leberworst.
BingoBoingo: Samoans aren't azn, too big and wrestler stereotyped
mircea_popescu: if samoans aren't azn then why are the japanese azn ?
BingoBoingo: Because the japanese don't want to be azn as evidenced by the white skin, blue eyes, and blond hair when they draw themselves as cartoons.
whaack: peehaps there are no recordings, and many of the alleged "cameras" are made of cardboard to keep cattle in check

mircea_popescu: it is, actually, the german model. that's how they modernized.
asciilifeform: ru hasn't modernized. pipeized.
mircea_popescu: and then the japanese copied it. to also great success. which is why both japan and russia allied with germany.
mircea_popescu: the simple country boy is loyal, the problem is the town boy is nutty.
asciilifeform: last proper modernizer of ru was old man iosif vissarionovich.

mircea_popescu: phf but necessarily you won't have a closed form solution to an ill defined class of a known hard problem.

phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-14#1683203 << glider specifically. you drop a glider from a balloon, you have known altitude, air foil and weight, you can figure out maximum distance, but that one's constantly changing, which you can track from rate of descent vs distance traveled. your drop point is also random because of the balloon drift, but it's somewhere around sites of interest
a111: Logged on 2017-07-14 01:14 mircea_popescu: i thought he was doing a plane thing
mircea_popescu: for instance : if i were solving this for military purposes i would have the machine list all targets it can visit such that it can still reach one landing spot, and then choose one to visit RANDOMLY. this offers some very strong guarantees : a) each machine will touch one target ; b) the algo can be recursed at ANY point (such as power failure) ; c) if you make a fleet of them you get coverage at no communication expense.
mircea_popescu: i suppose this being what you meant by moving parts.
phf: :)
mircea_popescu: undiscovered externalities moar like it.
phf: well, your basic algorithm is nearest neighbor, but then you can assign random weights to sites of interest, to ensure that different machines prioritize different walks (even if they get dropped from same location)
mircea_popescu: fwiw balloon-glider is a solution to this problem in the sense straight razor and barber's bowl is a solution to flebotomy. it does work, as it did long ago, but it does also kinda ignore the more recent past.
mircea_popescu: if you are destroying the targets the solution is rocket engine, which by now are cheap and easy to make. if you are merely diddling the target the solution is flying lawnmower. (although if you only want to do it monentarily, such as picture taking as opposed to eg van ecking the solution really is satellite).
mircea_popescu: glider bs is ww2 reich wunderwaffen (and i hope you read german for they did explore this to death)
phf: well, it's certainly silly to put all this complicated electronics on a device that would be trivial to also make self-propellent
phf: but without having necessary craftsmen immediately available, it's hard to make fast progress.
phf: i mean, the hackerspaces told me that it's "too hard", but they've been launching the same weather balloons with a camera for payload for like years now. literally a highschool project
mircea_popescu: but that said, a large baloon with a string of gliders underneath that detach bottom first like some sort of strange technofruit losing its seeds like some sort of anemochorious epiphyte.
mircea_popescu: would be one hell of an art item, steampunk or no steampunk
mircea_popescu: of course for maximal artsy i'd make your gliders asymmetrical. give it some nutty spin.
phf: hah, make them talk over radio to do a distributed coordination for tps
mircea_popescu: phf i dunno what you've been doing with your life to this point, but let me point out to you in no certain terms that adjusting what you do by what's available is the child's lot.

mircea_popescu: andreicon the illusion of "~easy~ access to ~same~ technology" is universally and i find without exception the macula of the modern slave.
andreicon: :)) who coined that term?
mircea_popescu: just as the black worker on the plantation thought he is a slave because god made him stupid ; just so the redditard of today thinks he has easy equal access to everything.

andreicon: i mean sha256 and ripemd160 were already available, just hacked into doing something else
mircea_popescu: andreicon yet consider : when the pantsuited hilarity was aiming to somehow establish herself as actually real and existent as opposed to merely imaginary fiction (in the face of trump's onslaught) her argument was ... "i was in the situation room!!!". she was saying, basically, that while she formally appears a redditard like any other, let them not forget that nevertheless she has... priviledged access to... special technol
mircea_popescu: that was the whole thing. that's all she had to communicate, when all is said and done.
mircea_popescu: so what are you talking about ?
andreicon: then some russki said she runs win2003 on her exchange server and from there it all went to shit
mircea_popescu: the time when people with better access to superior technologies ruined her inept shit precedes this event.
mircea_popescu: (ie yes, the boneheaded fucktard is also incapable of learning from her own experience, but whatever, it's what the us politruk class is all about)
andreicon: so she thought she had the same shit everyone else had
andreicon: she couldn't possibly lose
andreicon: but then it turns out there's hidden tech, some stuff you never knew existed
andreicon: i'm not willing to be a public face for that
andreicon: yea, i'm a skiddie
andreicon: most likely, that's the first thing that comes to mind
mircea_popescu: not specifically. that was mostly a 90s item, resulting from the uneven development of broadband and the uneasy interaction between society and internet.

andreicon: *sigh*
mircea_popescu: look here : in physics (which is a practical matter), you can have such a thing as a set with a measure and yet thereby not obtain an ordering. in mathematics, your ring (set + idempotent/unit items) also thereby has an ordering.
mircea_popescu: this is your error here : when you say "they still have years of catching up to do" you imagine a theoretical construct that has no bearing to reality. just because you're far away doesn't mean you're far ahead. as it happens, you aren't, western women will survive much better than western men.

erlehmann: so it turns out that thumbnailers are worse than antivirus, regarding parsing things better left unparsed
erlehmann: this made me look at a few thumbnailers available for GNOME https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=784630
erlehmann: in one, i found the exact same vulnerability
erlehmann: but in gnome-exe-thumbnailer, the filename is inserted into ad-hoc vbscript that is then executed using wine. fun stuff!
trinque: erlehmann: got a blog? I'd read.
erlehmann: i should probably do a writeup of the vbscript thing, it's too funny
trinque: erlehmann: consider a qntra of it
erlehmann: the only thing that prevented me from immediately gaining execution is that the created script for some reason is UTF-16 LE – and of course my code-injection-via-filename is UTF-8.

erlehmann: it became slower, or so fefe claimed
erlehmann: bonus: only affected program is systemd
trinque: erlehmann: the logs would benefit greatly from a proper writeup of these, so the next time someone goes "hurr durr $shitlang" the blog post can be linked
