ReadErr: i do cnc/solidworks stuff
trinque: impressive ReadErr
mircea_popescu: ReadErr the bot autoarchives links, btw.
ReadErr: its mostly just for fun
ReadErr: its all good
ReadErr: i just like to do things myself, like electronics stuff, its cheaper from china
ReadErr: but when i do my own, i can make it how i want
ReadErr: rather than depending on someone else to
trinque: !!up ReadErr
deedbot: ReadErr voiced for 30 minutes.
mircea_popescu: ReadErr say "!!up" to deedbot in a pm ; then !!v
ReadErr: danielpbarron: did you do that pcb?
ReadErr: !!up
ReadErr: oh in pm
trinque: here works now that you've done it
mircea_popescu: nah, asciilifeform did ; the whole thing's in a v tree
ReadErr: looks like a arduino
a111: Logged on 2018-01-03 04:56 mircea_popescu would link fg, if there was a page ;/
danielpbarron: ReadErr, i bought them from No Such lAbs
ReadErr: whats under the shields ?
danielpbarron: i bought out the entire first run
ben_vulpes: ReadErr: what are those pcbs?
asciilifeform: ReadErr: see the archive link, has photo
danielpbarron: i've been sending out any non prime numbered units
ReadErr: ben_vulpes: few flight controllers
ben_vulpes: fixed and quad it looked like from the photos?
ReadErr: heres something i did kinda recently...
ben_vulpes: that skateboard looks like a ripping good time
ben_vulpes: schematics for the fixedwing flight controller anywhere?
ReadErr: a magnet goes on the back
ReadErr: and a piece of wire + magnet on wraps around it
ReadErr: and it will charge a 1s batt but also provide 5v output from 1 battery
ReadErr: and fits in a pouch on keychain
ben_vulpes: useful!
ReadErr: not really lol
ReadErr: but i made it for fun
ben_vulpes: well for tiny usb thingers
ReadErr: ben_vulpes: ya i got some stuff up FC wise
ben_vulpes: header forest lol
ReadErr: so timecop did the white one
ReadErr: but the pinout was kinda shit
ReadErr: so i just did mine to piss him off and make it more usable, but did it smaller w/ more stuff
ben_vulpes: heh neat, so how do you use one of these fcs?
ReadErr: well, thats pretty flexible
ReadErr: theres a few codesbases depending on what you are trying to do
ReadErr: some are focused more on racing/performance
ReadErr: others autonomy, like gps navigation
ReadErr: but they are typically stm32
ReadErr: (ARM)
ben_vulpes: gotta wire IMUs etc to it or is that all on the pcb?
ReadErr: its all on the pcb
ReadErr: btw
ReadErr: any recommendations for a photohost?
ReadErr: i dropped smugmug since they pissed me off
ben_vulpes: run a server, set up apache?
ReadErr: and dont have most of my stuff uploaded
ben_vulpes: costs like 5 bucks per month
ReadErr: ya i was trying to avoid the self hosted route
ReadErr: i have a bunch of vps
danielpbarron: ReadErr, feel free to provide a service :D
mircea_popescu: buy a box.
ReadErr: but its more so I want them somewhere just incase
ReadErr: i dont know which gallery to run though
danielpbarron: i'd rather pay you than use imgur
ReadErr: software wise
mircea_popescu: !#s mp-wp
ReadErr: smugmug was nice but
ReadErr: they changed how they did photolinks
ben_vulpes: sounds like you want a holistic personal backup strategy, really gotta go bolting shit to the side with galleries as well?
ReadErr: so it replaced all the urls with smugmug rather than my domain
ben_vulpes: dude it's just going to keep happening. sv baitnswitch.
ReadErr: ben_vulpes: nah i just need something with a good mobile app though too
ben_vulpes: what why
ReadErr: since getting them from phone -> web is a pain through a browser
danielpbarron: step 1) get the user base. step 2) ??? step 3) fuck it, change everything maybe we get moneyz
ReadErr: smugmug had a great mobile app
ReadErr: which is why i originally used them
ReadErr: but they quit dev on it, stopped working with new phone updates
ben_vulpes: ReadErr: has an iphone with the soldered in storage probably, cannot pull sd card?
ReadErr: lol
ReadErr: nah but theres something to be said about just tapping the screen twice
ben_vulpes: shake it hard it may come out, i hear the rohs crap is crap
ReadErr: and having it upload to a specific folder
ReadErr: rohs is crap
ReadErr: <-- all leaded
ben_vulpes: regulation is crap.
ben_vulpes: ReadErr: where do you get properly leaded solder?
ReadErr: amazon,
ReadErr: i use kester noclean
ben_vulpes: that easy, huh?
ben_vulpes: solved child enslavement and leaded solder equally well teh pantsuits
mircea_popescu: heh, apparently everyone hates nonleaded
ReadErr: this series
ReadErr: but a lot of smt stuff i do with paste
ReadErr: mircea_popescu: is mp-wp some wordpress ?
ben_vulpes: ReadErr: how much of a hassle is it to throw waypoints or actuator setpoints at one of those fcs of yours while its flying?
danielpbarron: ReadErr, i can send it to you. i got it from shinohai
ReadErr: ben_vulpes: well, with a tablet its quite easy
danielpbarron: ReadErr, it's the wordpress that runs trilema.com
ben_vulpes: oya? wifi stuff?
ReadErr: ahh i see
ReadErr: ben_vulpes: not wifi typically
danielpbarron: a preserved in amber old version of wordpress
ReadErr: its a noisy spectrum
ben_vulpes: how dyou get setpoints from table to fc then
ReadErr: a lot of guys in america use 433 or 915mhz
ReadErr: packet radio
ReadErr: here 1sec
asciilifeform: lol garage remote spectrum
asciilifeform: fulla liquishit
mircea_popescu: ReadErr yeah ; it's what i use for interfacing all my hosting needs.
mircea_popescu: finetuned to perfection.
ReadErr: that i just did to go full blow HIV
ReadErr: and put a bunch of stuff on it
ReadErr: those there a specifically for serial data
ben_vulpes: !!reputation ReadErr
asciilifeform: ReadErr: why the prefab rf modules ? why not make whole thing ?
asciilifeform: !!up ReadErr
deedbot: ReadErr voiced for 30 minutes.
ReadErr: this one lol
ReadErr: some guy got into a pissing contest saying he had the smallest UHF receiver
ben_vulpes: ReadErr: what does 'HIV' stand for?
ReadErr: so i just did that to be spiteful
ReadErr: human immunodeficiency virus
ReadErr: i was kidding it doesnt have HIV
ReadErr: but 'full blown aids' is like a expression people use for everything but the kitchen sink
ben_vulpes: new one on me
ReadErr: atleast in certain circles
ben_vulpes: subject of circles where does this timecop feller and this otherguy with the uhf dick swinging habit all hang out?
ReadErr: well timecop is kinda out of the scene now, the other guy was just a random on a forum
ReadErr: but he wasnt releasing his source
ReadErr: and it was part of an opensource project i was involved in
ReadErr: so i did this one in a few hrs and put it on github
ReadErr: so ppl had an option if they wanted to make it or not
ben_vulpes: so whatcha working on now?
ReadErr: reworking some stuff for a DIY oxygen concentrator
ReadErr: for running torches
ReadErr: glass and whatnot
ReadErr: its kind of an odd area of the law, since they are sold as medical devices
ReadErr: its grey buying 2nd hand units
ReadErr: but this one has a higher output than several of the medical ones combined and costed much less
asciilifeform: from where didja get the zeolite, ReadErr ?
ReadErr: 1sec lemme find the invoice
ReadErr: i got a ton though lol
ReadErr: Products Model Price Total
ReadErr: 1 x 5A 8X12 Molecular Sieve Desiccant - 25 LB Box MS5A81225 $99.25 $99.25
ReadErr: Sub-Total: $99.25
ReadErr: UPS Ground : $20.85
ReadErr: Tax: $0.00
ReadErr: Total: $120.10
ReadErr: so much cheaper when you buy 25#
ReadErr: asciilifeform: you have some concentrators ?
ReadErr: asciilifeform: just noticed re: modules
ReadErr: its mostly an ease thing
ReadErr: and they are so cheap (5$) from china
ReadErr: all the matching stuff ends up being quite a bit of extra parts
ReadErr: 1:09 AM <ReadErr> TI has some cortex/RF SoC for those ranges
ReadErr: 1:09 AM <ReadErr> if i went that route i would just try one of theirs
ReadErr: didnt notice the unvoice
mircea_popescu: ReadErr the channel is logged, see eg http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-03#1762950
a111: Logged on 2018-01-03 06:17 ReadErr: didnt notice the unvoice
ReadErr: so now that im authenticated it wont -v ?
mircea_popescu: there's no need to worry anyone misses anything you say
mircea_popescu: and yes, now it won't -v
ReadErr: nice good deal
ReadErr: so is this stuff decentralized as well?
ReadErr: or does it all hinge on deedbot
danielpbarron: the log is hosted in at least 3 places, but decentralized is a sort of USG buzzword bullshit
ReadErr: multi-homed ?
trinque: rendunderant
danielpbarron: that's a better term, sure
ReadErr: so like master/slave dbs
trinque: just multiple bots present logging.
ReadErr: gotcha
ReadErr: just quiet ones
scriba: Logged on 2018-01-03: [06:19:00] <mircea_popescu> yes, for instance http://logs.bvulpes.com/trilema?d=2018-1-3#274054
ReadErr: so question
ReadErr: if theres a netsplit
ReadErr: hows that work in terms of missing pieces
mircea_popescu: ReadErr actually there's all sorts of functionality implemented, see http://www.contravex.com/trilema-bots-directory/ for the list
mircea_popescu: ReadErr if there;s a netsplit every bot sees its shard ; generally discussion stops tho.
mircea_popescu: if you read the logs, you'll see there's a lot of important stuff in there.
danielpbarron: like the intel shit that's blowing up
mircea_popescu: anyway, you can make one too, if you want, it's not that hard.
ReadErr: ahh cool off ircbot
mircea_popescu: afaik this is new.
ReadErr: ive been wanting a reason to mess with https://github.com/irccloud/irccat
trinque: it is.
trinque: danielpbarron: how'd that cuntoo build go
mircea_popescu: ah, that's a different item.
ReadErr: the idea of being able to echo outputs of stuff into iirc
ReadErr: irc*
ReadErr: makes quick stuff really easy
mircea_popescu: ReadErr that's the idea. ircbot is in lips ; if you dont' grok that there's also supybot which iirc is python
mircea_popescu: and maybe others.
ReadErr: its pretty light footprint wise
danielpbarron: trinque, it finished but my rapid enter hitting caused it to default the user creation part, and i've yet to chroot back in to fix it
ReadErr: i run a supybot on efnet mostly for twitter crap
ReadErr: its easier to see the stuff in a channel
ReadErr: than twitter.com
trinque: danielpbarron: lol, classic "next" mashing.
trinque: I should've put one of those fancy web toolbars in there.
mircea_popescu: pretty much everything is easier/better if you take the silicon valley idiots out of the loop
danielpbarron: i looks like it'll work tho, nice job
ReadErr: what I *really* want
ReadErr: is a irc twitter gateway kinda thing
trinque: danielpbarron: ty; if you made it to user creation you were done with the build
ReadErr: you connect to a znc or some server proxy
mircea_popescu: ReadErr how'd that work ?
ReadErr: and each @user has a pm
ReadErr: and channels would represent hashtags
trinque: made it past lilo and all that.
danielpbarron: the power at my house coincidentally went out on new years day and i'm still recovering from dancing
mircea_popescu: ah like a twitter bridge ? very likely get banned.
ReadErr: so you can add it to your client
ReadErr: and view 1 users tweets in order
ReadErr: reply
ReadErr: etc
ReadErr: yea API is kinda limited free tier
mircea_popescu: twitter isn't likely going to support this.
ReadErr: they will
danielpbarron: twitter is absolutely fucked
ReadErr: they just want $
ReadErr: for the extra api calls
danielpbarron: that's not even the problem
danielpbarron: they are trying to be facebook
ReadErr: twitter culture is dumb
ReadErr: but the few places i follow
ReadErr: its easiest to get quick news
ReadErr: and whatnot
danielpbarron: it used to work well, when i could reply to "celebrities" and have my reply get top billing
ReadErr: ohh crap check this out
ReadErr: those 1st reply bots
mircea_popescu: !#s from:mircea "tumblr"
a111: 2366 results for "from:mircea \"tumblr\"", http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=from%3Amircea%20%22tumblr%22
mircea_popescu: ^ talking of nsfw.
danielpbarron: oo that's a good url
ReadErr: lol mircea_popescu nice stuff
ReadErr: a lot of freenode chans are stuffy about that kinda thing
ReadErr: efnet doesnt really care
ReadErr: every click is risky
ReadErr: holy crap, 1700+ entries
mircea_popescu: it says, 2366
ReadErr: oh hm odd
ReadErr: it changes per page
ReadErr: good having folks like you that paste the good stuff, sift though the bad
danielpbarron: i used that search to print out a stack of papers to post in a co-workers office, got fired.
danielpbarron regrets nothing
ReadErr: mircea_popescu you trust wordpress enough ?
mircea_popescu: mp-wp yeah.
ReadErr: ive seen so many boxes compromised from garbage wp pluggins
mircea_popescu: it's been running trilema for almost a decade, 0 spam 0 issues.
ReadErr: timthumb etc
mircea_popescu: it comes with all the plugins you need.
ReadErr: do you just prevent uploading?
mircea_popescu: no, there's tons of pics on trilema. look : http://trilema.com/2014/ill-pay-for-your-tits/
ReadErr: hahah 0.02BTC for tit pics nice
danielpbarron: sorta why i did 0.01, no tits ;<
ReadErr: im not workin with much
ReadErr: any reliable postage selling sites that take eth?
ReadErr: yea couldnt find much either
ReadErr: i used stampnik ages ago
ReadErr: but with fees and stuff its too much
ReadErr: this must be one of those channels people actually sleep and live functional lives ;p
BingoBoingo: !!up yangwao
deedbot: yangwao voiced for 30 minutes.
BingoBoingo: yangwao: Who is your daddy and what does he do?
BingoBoingo: <ReadErr> this must be one of those channels people actually sleep and live functional lives ;p << Yes, and some people in this channel even get sent on missions to Montevideo.
ReadErr: lol explain
BingoBoingo: ReadErr: Well after a prolonged search for an acceptable ISP to host servers, not a single one in the world was found. So I was sent to Montevideo to work with a datacenter to start one.
ReadErr: oh haha thats awesome
ReadErr: setup a few racks?
BingoBoingo: Well, starting with one. At the moment mostly learning Spanish and waiting for the papers that declare me a very.legit.bsnsman
ReadErr: lol
ReadErr: i have so many dumb domains now
BingoBoingo: Anyways this is one of the few places where hard work, not being stupid, and sticking around leads to opportunities and access to leverage.
ReadErr: i let chatting.pro expire though
BingoBoingo: Ah, we have our own pastetank here courtesy of Senor ben_vulpes http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/
ReadErr: hard16 is for ascii stuff not 16 year olds btw (16 color palette)
ReadErr: it was afterwards i realized people might take it the wrong way
ReadErr: how much you planning on deploying ?
ReadErr: odd that you arrived at uraguay
ReadErr: is it one of those bulletproof hosting setups or whatever
BingoBoingo: Well, After scouring the world Hong Kong would have required demasiado racks to support human presence near the datacenter, Brazil's visa process involved too much time and bullshit, and Uruguay is like "cool man, whatever"
ReadErr: must be a pretty serious thing if you can afford to do it fulltime for now
BingoBoingo: The setup however is not bulletproof. It turns out they don't make ballistic rated servers or cabinets.
ReadErr: lol surey they do :)
BingoBoingo: Well, part of the secret is keeping the burn rate on the cash low.
ReadErr: infact there was a german
ReadErr: in linuxcnc
ReadErr: thats all his company did
ReadErr: crazy chassis for tanks and vehicles
ReadErr: super shielded for RF
ReadErr: but yea need remote hands avail
BingoBoingo: Anyways, I am living in a hostel and rent a desk at a cowork space. The black people here are friendly, unlike in Saint Louis, and the girls are pretty.
ReadErr: haha
ReadErr: ive been to st. louis a few times with a buddy
ReadErr: its not too bad, too cold though
ReadErr: not much to do in the city but drink
ReadErr: the AHB tour is neat though
BingoBoingo: In the summer it's too hot in St Louis too.
ReadErr: yea thats true too
BingoBoingo: And were you there before or after Micheal Brown was martyred in August 2014? Since then the city's gone into a far more intense race war
ReadErr: oh before
ReadErr: way before
ReadErr: imagine it depends what part of st louis you are
ReadErr: theres the super nice areas
ReadErr: and the super not nice ones
BingoBoingo: It used to depend. Now not so much.
BingoBoingo: The "nice" areas now are a daylight only sort of affair. Like the old "sundown towns" but in reverse
ReadErr: i could see that
ReadErr: now i mean
ReadErr: didnt realize it got that bad though
ReadErr: too midwestern for me
BingoBoingo: Anyways if you go into St Louis now at night, even in the "nice" areas... there is a 50/50 chance you get surrounded by a crowd of youth with half of them on their phones calling your pasty ass a nigger and waiting to surprise you with WORLDSTARHIPHOP
ReadErr: savage
BingoBoingo: Or you know... There's the knockout game.
ReadErr: there was a guy on efnet
ReadErr: ran his mouth off to some folks leaving a bar
ReadErr: they beat him up pretty good
ReadErr: he went to the news trying to say he was a knockout game victim
BingoBoingo: Here the locals say Ciuda Vieja is dangerous at night. I walk around there at night. Very safe. Just a bunch of idle dorks sitting around.
ReadErr: but it all kinda backfired
ReadErr: probably karma related, he was always trying to scheme
ReadErr: one of those types
BingoBoingo: ReadErr: http://www.thedrinkingrecord.com/ for updates on the journey here. Disregard the name. I've been sober for a couple years now.
ReadErr: gangster roll lol
ReadErr: nice
ReadErr: when i read mortar and 6 shells, i was thinking like real military stuff for some reason
ReadErr: which could have been fun
BingoBoingo: Nah, just the sparkly stuff. MP got the bigger stuff though http://trilema.com/2018/happy-mew-years/
danielpbarron: i did karaoke for new years. danced so hard i think i'm getting sick now
ReadErr: i wan to go to a country that lets you toss live grenades
ReadErr: no idea why
ReadErr: just sounds fun
danielpbarron: or a country that can't stop you from throwing them. who cares what they "let you do"
ReadErr: I mean, real talk, i would settle on a flashbang too
danielpbarron: be like best korea. not allowed to have nukes. gets nukes anyway
ReadErr: a RGP would be fun too

BingoBoingo: ^ Monday night's adventure
asciilifeform: in other lulz, intel ceo sells 100% of the stock his contract permitted him to sell ( and even filed the mandatory usg report to hitler, hence how it came out )
asciilifeform: 0 mention in 'mainstream media' re the obvious reason ( http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-05#1720909 ) why.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-05 00:19 asciilifeform: here's a choice lulzgem: 'One-location hammering is based on a previously unknown Rowhammer effect. With one-location hammering, the attacker only runs a Flush+Reload loop on a single memory address at the maximum frequency. This virtually keeps the DRAM bank permanently open. We observed that one-location hammering drains enough charge from the DRAM cells to induce bit flips.'
asciilifeform: but in very unrelated lulz, https://archive.is/bON1p >> 'It’s a bit absurd that a modern gaming machine running at 4,000x the speed of an apple 2, with a CPU that has 500,000x as many transistors (with a GPU that has 2,000,000x as many transistors) can maybe manage the same latency as an apple 2 in very carefully coded applications if we have a monitor with nearly 3x the refresh rate.'
asciilifeform: ^ though i'ma nitpick, i actually ~had~ ( nao sold, ty phf ! for finding buyer ) a symbolics 3620 ; and it beat the shit out of the 2000s crapples, winblowz boxen, etc, at least subjectively. ( i did not obtain a 1000fps camera, unlike in the experiment claimed by linked item )
asciilifeform: 'If we look at overall results, the fastest machines are ancient. Newer machines are all over the place. Fancy gaming rigs with unusually high refresh-rate displays are almost competitive with machines from the late 70s and early 80s, but “normal” modern computers can’t compete with thirty to forty year old machines.'
asciilifeform: overall notbad.jpg.
asciilifeform suspects that subjective latency depends more on statistical spread than the avg delay.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-03#1762942 << nope. and imho ye olde 'water torch' is more interesting tech ( no need to buy o2 OR fuel... )
a111: Logged on 2018-01-03 06:00 ReadErr: asciilifeform: you have some concentrators ?
phf: happy new year, tmsr
asciilifeform: ohai phf !
phf: so i pulled an old iphone out of storage for travel, and discovered that half the ips it gets are klined on freenode. at least from nyc
asciilifeform: gets from where
asciilifeform: ( which telco ? )
phf: tmobile
asciilifeform wonders if same is true in other million-meatbag cities
phf: asciilifeform: oh hey so i posted my solution on chapter 5, and this time around i have an id: 18558
asciilifeform: phf: irc on shitpnojes sucks mightily. can be made ~tolerable with 'bouncer' .
asciilifeform: phf: i'ma look, 1s
asciilifeform: phf: it was under a tall pile of spamola. should be visible nao.
phf: ty
asciilifeform: PeterL's too.
asciilifeform: congrats to phf and PeterL : solved ch4.
phf: oh hey, PeterL also did an optimization that i didn't notice at the time
asciilifeform: phf: be so kind as to demonstrate yours on pehbot for the permalog
asciilifeform: ( and PeterL when he comes , i will ask this also )
asciilifeform: hm it croaked...?
asciilifeform: just... vanished. left 0 record of why.
phf: welcome to running an irc bot
asciilifeform wonders if it is even in principle possible to make a freenode-crapolade-tolerant bot
asciilifeform: betcha that's what killed it
asciilifeform: prolly cheapest pill is simply to sit it down behind znc
asciilifeform: !~later tell trinque how does deedbot's block-fetch history for past 2wk look ? zoolag's performed very, very well re 'tip of spear' , and there appear to exist at least 5 other fully-synced trb boxen that regularly speak to it.
jhvh1: asciilifeform: The operation succeeded.
ben_vulpes: mine's been doing a marvelous job at staying at the tip, and i suspect that my network slices have made transaction broadcasting more reliable, but This Ain't Science

phf: using the boolean we execute an if/else branch which either swaps the two numbers and drops the top most '_, or drops the top most without swapping _. the final drop _ is an artifact of conditional implementation that always leaves a value on the stack.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nah, it's a very genuine social dynamic in monkey society (or "african-american" if you prefer), wherein strength dominates the very crowded quarters they're forced into, but speed is more useful for the group (as seen in ferguson, say). consequently, quick fuckers now and again scurry behind the big kahuna and knock him out, just foer the experience of it.

asciilifeform: in other verymuch nonnews, asciilifeform for some reason only today realized that von neumann's fair coin algo is simply 'numerical differentiation' for discretes, and removes bias for the same reason differentiation removes constant
asciilifeform: this wouldn't be worth writing about, except that it invites a gnarlier analysis q -- what is the bias that 1 round of faircoin ~does not~ remove ? ... analogous similarly directly to successive degrees of polynomial 'not removed' by differentiation in continuous functions ? can prove this ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah...

asciilifeform: wat's a1 .. an ?
mircea_popescu: indices of polynomial, corresponding to root 1..n
mircea_popescu: a0x^0 is the constant
asciilifeform: then yea
asciilifeform: i'ma have to eat the 'not bias!' answer. even tho it leaves me without a clean analysis-flavoured picture of why successive rounds of faircoin improve entropy metrics across-the-board (regardless of what litmus is chosen)
mircea_popescu: because they're metrics!

mircea_popescu: conversely, is there such a thing possible as "distil the wine", in the sense of, "taking a cask of wine in which were put no droppings of any kind, and making it wine-irier, somehiw" ?

BingoBoingo: I mean, culturally Argentina and Uruguay are similar stock. But there is a palpable difference between the people of both places assembled and individually.
BingoBoingo: And it can't be that one places grass is better than the other's for cow feeding
BingoBoingo: Both countries shove just about everything into their capital cities
trinque: I dunno; wouldn't be a bad thing for someone to investigate if there's a sickly <-> pantsuit correlation

mircea_popescu: lel. "investigation complete."
trinque: lol
BingoBoingo: gabriel_laddel: Where did you jailbreak to?
trinque: so maybe the winds blow the shit away from montevideo better.
gabriel_laddel: well actually democrats are less sexually satisfied in day to day life, which ~= sickly
gabriel_laddel: BingoBoingo Ohio for now, prolly Ky soonish
trinque: gabriel_laddel: got working feet yet?
BingoBoingo: gabriel_laddel: Eh, I would have recommended those places to you a few months ago, but seriously just get a place in Ciudad vieja. There's a coworking place near aguada park.
gabriel_laddel: Nope. ISY in Ohio. Saw a COMPETENT WHITE DOCTOR today and got CAT scan + surgery scheduled
BingoBoingo: gabriel_laddel: That'll give us a corridor through the city
trinque: BingoBoingo will put you in a backpack
gabriel_laddel is getting photoID etc here in Ohio so can go to SA.
BingoBoingo: Also the people here... Whiter than in Ohio
gabriel_laddel doesn't care about 'white', but just so happens WMD (white male doctor) is far more talented than stanford semetic strange
mircea_popescu: jooz make great doctors historically.
gabriel_laddel: semetic strange = paki / nosed indian / arab
BingoBoingo only somewhat visually attractive to the local girls for his more northern euro facial features. Once BingoBoingo takes off his shirt and they see the tan lines though... all bets are in BingoBoingo's favor.
trinque just had joo oral surgeon chop out wisdom teeth, did a great job
trinque: dude was like 4ft 10in
mircea_popescu: in other holy shit sherlock news, the wind here actually got SO BAD!!! it bust down my door. fucking literally.
mircea_popescu: i thought some idiot actually kicked it, which makes no sense seeing how a few layers of metal grates etc to get to it. but i was like... oook, who dies today.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i thought some idiot actually kicked it, which makes no sense seeing how a few layers of metal grates etc to get to it. but i was like... oook, who dies today. << AHA metal grates everywhere here too!
gabriel_laddel: ben_vulpes is there some way to search wotpaste for "sb-c::info"
gabriel_laddel: I dropped some code in there I'd like to not rewrite. Destroyed old machines on traintracks before leaving CA...
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo this is a normal people wooden door, up on a ledge. whatevs.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel kept the paste 5-letter id then ?
mircea_popescu: pastes die in a week...
gabriel_laddel: I can get it from customer was pasting to then
BingoBoingo: trinque: How do you know that wasn't a leprachaun pretending to be pete's peeple?
mircea_popescu: what, after the pout of gold ?
BingoBoingo: You know... Big texas trinque with his big gold teeth
gabriel_laddel: sam hyde
ben_vulpes: gabriel_laddel: no
ben_vulpes: you did what now?
gabriel_laddel: ben_vulpes I destroyed my machines, usb sticks using the BART track before leaving. recover my harddrive bitches.
ben_vulpes: dude...
gabriel_laddel has new inventory in CA, new machine here, no biggie
BingoBoingo: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
BingoBoingo: Why not Union Pacific. Heavier trains delete more securely
gabriel_laddel: the party was in the train tunnels!
BingoBoingo: gabriel_laddel: You know if you come to Montevideo... They'll have an expocannabis again and you could actually be there this time.
gabriel_laddel: ty but no pot for me. stim convention where and when, im there then.
BingoBoingo: Ah, apparently the shit the kids chew is coca leaves.
gabriel_laddel: which, incidentally, do they market crystal or "work" to you at all down there?
BingoBoingo: Also Yerba's got a bit of a different kick than coffee
BingoBoingo: Down here people tend not to market hard drugs to the gringo that doesn't drink or smoke pot.
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: leaves not enough on their own, gotta throw in some of the magic dirt too
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: By kids I mean the small homeless children.
ben_vulpes: 'magic' just means alkaline; necessary to make the reaction run.
ben_vulpes: holy hell someone set off an alarm at a construction site down the street and now i cannot think through the blaring
gabriel_laddel: pity. I was going to ask you what you know about there coca plants.
BingoBoingo: Ah, here it is normal for the garage doors to be hooked up to sirens that sound when cars attempt to join traffic
BingoBoingo: gabriel_laddel: My impression is that in south america people with money generally only talk about their knowledge of hard drug markets within their wot
BingoBoingo: Perhaps there are exceptions, but... No reason to let USG get free intel

deedbot: trinque rated gabriel_laddel -3 << vapid addict
gabriel_laddel: dumbass. the reason I say nothing is because there is nothing to say about it other than "WIP". What, you need to hear about how pleased I am with (ALIAS 'f 'cl::defun)? gtfo'
mircea_popescu: nothwithstanding that bb opened the pot talk, there's the problem that if i want to point to something to explain what you do to an innocent third party, i don't know where to, gabriel_laddel
gabriel_laddel: trinque are there some local kids I can pay to ship me some senegalia berlandie?
gabriel_laddel: Daniel can be seen for sales. He has right of way to sell M as he sees fit.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel dja see how this is rather in the vein of asciilifeform "future of internet" png ?
gabriel_laddel: no? explain please?
mircea_popescu: consider the discussion with phf ( http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-29#1760915 )
a111: Logged on 2017-12-29 21:30 mircea_popescu: here's a problem i perceive phf : you could guess about log(n) of my understanding of various things that interest me on the basis of reading trilema ; i could not guess epsilon of thge say your understanding of sbcl on the basis of reading whatever you provide voluntarily. i could glean it from this kind of interaction, but here's what that means : http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-29#1760839
mircea_popescu: i can't, on the basis of that video, infer anything beyond, "hey, if we ever want to upload a youtube video with apologies about some software, maybe gabriel_laddel is free"
gabriel_laddel: well for one, I'm not really prepared to sell M to the mass market & recently reached the conclusion that CLIM is backwards in a few fixable ways. #1, commands are to be computed by code walking rather than define-command & by using (declare) and FUNCTION-LAMBDA-LIST
mircea_popescu: yes, but did you follow either asciilifeform or diana_coman 's approach to a very similar problem ?
mircea_popescu: to wit, "computer algebra is broken in a few fixable ways" ; "digital cryptography is broken in a few fixable ways" ?
gabriel_laddel: FTR: what I bring to the table is the closest thing to LISPM available, and direction + productive discussion for those already down the rabbit hole. Non-alices need not apply.
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: I have not followed anything diana_coman has done, whatsoever.
gabriel_laddel: will read her blog in full tonight tho
mircea_popescu: well, either / both of them work for the purpose here.
mircea_popescu: in other words : republican methodology for improving software, that was slowly swirling towards systematisation down the drain of v turned exponential / made some major breakthroughs in the past six weeks or so.
mircea_popescu: many problems that previously had poor or altogether no solution are essentially resolved now as a result.
gabriel_laddel: I am catching up on logs now, but until now have not bought into V whatsoever.
gabriel_laddel: In my mind, lispm, or interlisp editor + fixed clim comes first. hence, have been following that route
mircea_popescu: well, that's the fundamental problem here, you were left stranded.
gabriel_laddel: eh, the rabbit tunnels will connect. http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-02#1745646 is my motto & the world is a small place
a111: Logged on 2017-12-02 22:16 mircea_popescu: but otherwise -- everything's sough. you got tits ? make money. you can code ? make money. you can draw ? make money. you "got relations" / can pr/whatever the fuck you got ? MAKE MONEY!
mircea_popescu: yes, but until they do so connect you are at risk of "wtf is this and why is it in my feed" beheading.
gabriel_laddel: acknowledged.
gabriel_laddel: am trying to get passport so I can just show YOU rather than fking around with low-fidelity comms

Troika: Can one create a new WOT identity? For purposes of paying "corporate tax/tithe" to TMSR, as opposed to an individual WOT identity.
mircea_popescu: why would these be separate ?
Troika: In case the business changes hands or similar.
mircea_popescu: it's personal tax, if the business changes hands you realise whatever you realise and that's that.
Troika: Alright thanks -- back to lurking now, keep up the good work.
mircea_popescu: to put it in other words : the republic does not deem corporatyions to be persons. a corporation can't owe tax for the exact same reason the united states government can't be sovereign.
