diana_coman: asciilifeform, thanks!
asciilifeform: there's a whole bunch of weird stuff in gnat, some of it potentially plunderable, some -- dunno -- e.g. a ~complete implementation of SNOBOL

deedbot: billymg voiced for 30 minutes.
billymg: thank you asciilifeform
asciilifeform: billymg: now please repeat your introduction here
billymg: first of all, apologies for cluttering the channel, i missed when my name was mentioned earlier
billymg: i don't mean to only lurk, i'm a long time log reader and am hoping i can be of service to any of the lords in their projects. by trade (as defined in fiat land at least) i am a ux designer and developer. happy to introduce myself in the channel if i am voiced again
asciilifeform: billymg: 1st step is to reg your key and get in wot :

billymg: i pm the output of the decrypted OTP to deedbot?
asciilifeform: you pm it !!v yourdecryptedstring
asciilifeform: like that.
billymg: ah cool!
asciilifeform: billymg: nao tell us about yerself
billymg: i work for your typical sv company, which is my current connection to a fiat faucet, and for that reason i'd like to keep this identity separate from my fiat identity (to avoid an overzealous coworker who may stumble upon the logs trying to get me kicked for a CoC violation or whatever)
asciilifeform: billymg: i suspect that this hazard is largely mythical : asciilifeform for instance has blogged under his human name for >decade nao, and never 1nce encountered this problem
billymg: i have been working in the "tech industry" for about 10 years now, mostly as a ux designer but i can also produce code
asciilifeform: billymg: for so long as you avoid obvious hand-in-bear-trap in the vein of 'hi, i'm j. smith and i work for xyz corp and their product is liquishit' , generally nobody gives a shit
billymg: asciilifeform: ah, i understood that your situation was more independent, like that of a consultant/contractor?
asciilifeform: billymg: if you're ux/art expert, you will definitely want to be around when mircea_popescu wakes up
asciilifeform: billymg: not always
billymg: fair enough
billymg: art not so much (not a designer of the graphic/illustrator variety)
asciilifeform: billymg: in my experience, if yer fiat shop is looking for a reason to sack you, they'll find one whether or not you posted anyffing 'interesting' ; and if not, and you're actually doing something useful there for the pay, then not
billymg: but more of the software interface variety. although i can also make things look aesthetically pleasing
asciilifeform: billymg: you'll definitely want to speak to mircea_popescu & diana_coman , i suspect
billymg: but i have worked a lot with those in the graphic/illustration side, so can speak their language and manage them through projects if need be
asciilifeform: billymg: are you familiar with s.mg ?
billymg: that's the area of the republic i am perhaps least familiar with
billymg: i know it's the home of eulora
billymg: but not much more
billymg: if that's where the priority is though, then it would be great to help out there
asciilifeform: as i understand that's who ~might~ be interested in ui expertise
asciilifeform: billymg: be sure to stick around when mircea_popescu wakes up, and have portfolio of some kind for him to see
asciilifeform: ( hopefully you have an example of ui work that aint secret )
billymg: i can pull together some older examples, will think about where to host/publish
billymg: more recently i was running the design operation for the company though
BingoBoingo: billymg: You probably want to hang out in #eulora

mircea_popescu: you have no idea (in fact, i am sure no human can form idea, as an attempt from first principles) what the frisco atmosphere is like these days.
mircea_popescu: they literally caged ~50k monkeys who have nothing to do all day. king of the flies is a joke, these are adults (well...) not highschoolers and tens of thousands not hundreds.

asciilifeform pictures mircea_popescu drinking warm sake from genuine vintage tin cup from kamikaze corps
mircea_popescu: actually this is a very nice japanese place, eel, yellowtail, red snapper, even serves kimchi.
mircea_popescu: (immature and overspicy, but then again they're not koreean)
asciilifeform: billymg: prolly this is obvious, but i'ma remind for the record : whatever you do, dun lose yer pgp key. it's your only connection to the wallet, pizarro, wot . nothing can be done for folx who lose key.
mircea_popescu: well, folks who personally know other folks can beg for a rebirth cert from those other folks. not that it fixes everything.
asciilifeform: billymg: the only way to ever change a key is to 1) sign with old 2) ask trinque politely. there are no 'emergency resets'.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: right, but this is not to be relied on. and only even in principle could work for close meatspace associates of existing l1 folx.
mircea_popescu: in any case, even if i say "basfii-liceform is actually asciilifeform 's new key, he managed to lose the old one", you'll be stuck speaking from the new name and depending on everyone evermore both a) encountering that notice and b) giving a shit, to jump the gap.
billymg: asciilifeform, mircea_popescu: understood
asciilifeform: losing key is the ultimate 'coarse error of pilotage', and it's happened before, so worth mentioning to all n00bz.
mircea_popescu: i thought it's "gross error"
asciilifeform: right, prolly better engl.
asciilifeform has nfi what the english pilots call it. perhaps 'mccain pilotage'...
mircea_popescu: lol. mostly used by crash inspectors.
asciilifeform: naturally
billymg: what is the best method for backup? other drives or paper/physical?
mircea_popescu: billymg this is altogether an open question.
asciilifeform: billymg: intensely personal matter. put it where 1) you'll find it, and can decipher 2) nosy third parties, won't
billymg: fair enough
asciilifeform: billymg: for some , ciphrogram printed on drum printer; for other folx -- burn a 1980s rom chip and put in a crate of 9000 identicals ; for yet others -- memorize ; very deeply personal preference
mircea_popescu: tattoo on slavegirls, whynot. then -- 3bn identicals!
billymg: lol
asciilifeform: billymg: out of general principle, and esp. for usaschwitz inmates, it dun hurt to have a well-masqueraded copy sitting some place far from yours or your associates' usual business & habitation
mircea_popescu: i just noticed i sent BingoBoingo an unelf message. were you elf'd before ?
BingoBoingo: I may have been
BingoBoingo: Imma have to do some history consulting

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i mentioned it because he put some qty of coin in wallet.
mircea_popescu: oh. right then.
asciilifeform: so potentially painful.
mircea_popescu: iirc other than new voice model, a "flush addy" was also in deedbot upgrade spec.
mircea_popescu: not that it solves the ~general problem~, now gotta safeguard the addy.
billymg: !!reputation billymg
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo don't you find it distinctly amusing that reputation has "puta" in it ?
billymg: not even coupla noob ratings :(
asciilifeform: billymg: it's refreshed nightly
asciilifeform: billymg: notice that you're self-voicing, so the actual mechanism is real-time.
billymg: ah, got it
asciilifeform: only the display, presently, isn't.
mircea_popescu: nothing's instantaneous.
asciilifeform: billymg: you may also take an interest in http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1762 , tho the mechanism relies on friendship with existing l1 folx , and is considered experimental ( it is a means of insuring against catastrophic crypto breaks )
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I find it entirely natural and to reputation's credit that it would have puta
mircea_popescu: la re-puta-cion de los di-puta-dos!

mircea_popescu: even translates fine back to english : the rewhoreation of the biwhoretwos.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo hory shit that's a pit viper.
BingoBoingo: Well, it's a couple beaches away from me
mircea_popescu: i had nfi they even lived there.
BingoBoingo: Well, people bring pets
mircea_popescu: that's a helluva pet.
mircea_popescu: but yeah i guess, circus or w/e sorta thing.
BingoBoingo: I think they also might have a zoo over there
BingoBoingo: Fellow could have hitched a ride on a truck
mircea_popescu: snake can be very sneaky, but usually younger / adolescent males. this dude seems quite adult, i'd expect moar territorial with hissings and whatnot.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: my recollection is that circus snakes are typically 'fixed', de-venomed. if was 'pet', then prolly belonged to hindu fella
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: in orcistan where zoo snake still has glands, prolly the war museum has shells with live fuse still in, betcha
mircea_popescu: usually... who knows. i can't tell from pic iof still has his lol
BingoBoingo: Well, Carrasco where the fellow was found is one of the "richer" barrios
asciilifeform: incidentally, erry so often, a critter untypical for $region turns up, having stowed away in asian shipping container
asciilifeform: it's how we got those pestilential stink-beetles here in washingtonistan
asciilifeform when reads of 'venomous snake found', inevitably thinks of conan doyle's 'speckled band'
mircea_popescu: kinda how the plague m,oved, too. old history of shipping spreading... new ideas.
asciilifeform: or prior : the rat
asciilifeform: ( difficult to picture nao, but at one time the rat was unknown west of urals )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu recall when 'venetian mouse!111'
asciilifeform: there are nao raccoon, i recall, in germany, some idjit brought'em in
BingoBoingo: Well, shipping container would be on the other side of the city. Could be airplane passenger
BingoBoingo: hitchhiked on landing gear, fell when doors opened
asciilifeform: ( raccoon, to euro folx, can look like exotic fairy tale beast, but it's effectively a dog-sized rat , can chew hole straight through the typical north ameristani wooden house )
BingoBoingo: Well, location of being found lines up with airplane approach path
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's ok, euros don't build like that.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they have fields tho. and it apparently knows how to level a hectare/day, like boar
asciilifeform: mega-pest
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> ( raccoon, to euro folx, can look like exotic fairy tale beast, but it's effectively a dog-sized rat , can chew hole straight through the typical north ameristani wooden house ) << Latinas apparently view mapache (aka. trash panda) as mystery critter and protagonist of children's stories
mircea_popescu: most of yurp pays farmers NOT to farm.
mircea_popescu: " Latinas apparently view mapache (aka. trash panda) as mystery critter" << that's pretty funny, seeing how... that's EXACTLY how people see latinas themselves!
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: critter is amazingly resilient, like some kinda miniature grizzly, can eat a 300m/sec gram into forehead and still run
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well, maybe you need a better dog?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i dun have a dog, or where to.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: only the 2nd best pill.

mircea_popescu: aaahahahaha o god
mircea_popescu: ok this was the comedy highpoint of the day!
asciilifeform: what's a 'red ryder'
mircea_popescu: 15yo's rifle.
asciilifeform: aa no, not quite so sad
mircea_popescu: then what's the
BingoBoingo: The best ways to coonicide are 1. 100 lb dog assigned to sentry duty 2. cage traps 3. projectile weapons
mircea_popescu: "300m/s gram" ?
asciilifeform: item drills 2x4 wooden plank, phone book, etc.; specially built for that type of pest.
mircea_popescu: anyway, from experience of my north american east coast dwelling friends, the correct racoon weapon is actually a crossbow.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: funnily enuff, i tried those 1st
mircea_popescu: no dice ?
asciilifeform: nope, gallops away with arrow straight thru
asciilifeform: they're some kinda mutant horror.
mircea_popescu: maybe they meanwhile build armor.
asciilifeform: the fat from eating garbage, is mega-armour.
mircea_popescu: kinda what fat is, yeah.
BingoBoingo: This is why you need 45 kg of either black and tan or bluetick hound assigned to sentry duty against 3 lb pest
asciilifeform would happily use elephant rifle, but not so great in 'civilized' city, 9000 police cars in 5min if one were to

asciilifeform: Mocky: mine emails. but i dun recall if mp-wp has this knob.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: to round out the thread, trick was to actually rtfm -- forehead thick. gram in ear was the magic pill, worked where arrow in torso didn't.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i recall this video of a coon exhibiting all the "intelligent" behaviour of black chicks code : was rubbing a rock against a glass door, because it had seen rocks open glass doors before but didn't quite understand how impact works. so cargocultcoon.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there aint so many critters that know how to think about glass
mircea_popescu: right. but -- trying, works!

mircea_popescu: molotov cocktail coon squad!

mircea_popescu doesn't share the coon hate, having never lived for long where they actually were pests.
mircea_popescu: ~everyone in mass/ct/nh/vermont etc fucking hated coons tho.
asciilifeform: they're great when yer in a place where it's in zoo, like kangaroo.
asciilifeform: not so hot when right there when you open front door.
mircea_popescu: i believe.
BingoBoingo: I suspect they only become mega pest in areas with coyote and deer deficiency
mircea_popescu: i dunno, plenty of deer in the ne.
BingoBoingo: When I left hometown they were pest, but not asciilifeform doomsday pest. More urban customers to my last fiat employment described asciilifeform type doomsday pest, but they also lacked coyotes
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: plenty of deer here. the 2 species dun compete for fodder at all, afaik
BingoBoingo: Both raid trash. I suspect the coyote is bigger factor. Takes 40 lb scavenger/predator niche
asciilifeform: i have yet to see a deer eat rubbish.
asciilifeform: they'll eat grass, and yes garden
asciilifeform: but dumpster ?!
BingoBoingo: Have seen
asciilifeform: deer imho aint comparable to a dog-sized rat with human hands, re lulz potential
asciilifeform: as for coyote, naturally none in the city, lol, no wolf either
mircea_popescu: depends. one day walking through forest saw doe chased by "barking" buck, tied up companion naked, arms bound behind back and hoisted over branch, then fucked her. great lulz were had!

asciilifeform: Mocky: 'kitchen robot' is euro for usa's 'phood processor'
Mocky: ooohhh, i get it
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: keccak is exactly the right pill for trbi, and iirc mircea_popescu was actually 1st to point this out, yrs ago
asciilifeform: but yes also oughta be put into service in all proggies where we previously had sha
asciilifeform: incl. the block archiver
asciilifeform: ( simply swap the 'sha512sum' in http://www.loper-os.org/pub/turdsums/readme_s.txt for phf's standalone keccaktron )
asciilifeform: Mocky: 'aggressive' trb vs regular, is just about 'night and day'. i also have ben_vulpes's 'super aggression' item lined up for test.
asciilifeform: it closes the remaining gap ( in his variant, long-connected but non-block-delivering peers get hassled for blox proactively )
mircea_popescu: problem with sha is that it has no niche besides "fuck you, i'm lazy", and even there... md5.
mircea_popescu: but otherwise, in crc applications crc32 much better, as alf pointed out ; and in what-is-being-hashed-is-long applications, keccak npq.
mircea_popescu: i can't think of what else is a hash used for.
mircea_popescu: certainly i'd rather use keccak than ~anything else for the "make crypto out of trapdoor" style alf thing for example
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: keccak even worx as a stream cipher, and afaik no better or worse than other extant examples.
mircea_popescu: well, minigame using serpent, but anyways.
asciilifeform: ( stream ciphers are a 'religious' topic , imho )
asciilifeform: the 1 plus of keccak-abuse is that you can make the key whatever size you want. but that's more or less it.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-29 15:55 asciilifeform: but to return upstack , if one could design a satisfactory ( somehow! ) hash , it would thereby also necessarily be a satisfactory symm cipher.

deedbot: bvt voiced for 30 minutes.
deedbot: 6CF3EFF892A7F23E7E798E5EBA6B8C054B962B68 registered as bvt.
bvt: Hello, I am BT from the recent diana_coman's comments section
bvt: I have a bug report for vpatch from phf
asciilifeform: bvt: possibly fastest n00b-birth-to-key-regged to date
asciilifeform: bvt: ideally you'd put it on your www, where we'll read
asciilifeform: but p.bvulpes.com will work in a pinch
bvt: Sorry, don't have a WWW, but the fix should be a one-liner
asciilifeform: bvt: since you're already playing with a vtron, i suspect you know what the correct process is re patch
asciilifeform: ( and yes even 1liner )
bvt: sure, but I guess you are interested in explanation as well?
asciilifeform: definitely
bvt: basically, template variable here: http://btcbase.org/patches/vtools_vpatch#L285 is too short.
asciilifeform: bvt: didja get the orig to actually fail ?
asciilifeform: or is this a theoretical boojum
bvt: empty string ("") is special-cased in GNAT runtime, which does mktemp equivalent internally
bvt: but also sets a Temp bit in File record
asciilifeform: bvt: plz answer the given q tho
asciilifeform: does it bomb, yay or nay
bvt: sorry, slow typer
bvt: GNAT 2016 runtime deletes all files with temp bits at the Finalization stage, so everything should work fine. (Not an ada specialist, so when finalization is actually run is a mistery to me)
asciilifeform: per the standard it fires when object goes out of scope
bvt: GNAT 2017, though, deletes such files on Close call.
asciilifeform: interesting. so will bomb on gnat-2017 ?
asciilifeform: iirc ave1's current draft of libc-less gnat is based on 17. but afaik nobody's tried the thing on it yet ( with possible exception of bvt )
asciilifeform: !!rate bvt 1 n00b, ada/vtronics experiments
bvt: Nope, ave1's is 2016
asciilifeform: !!v CFBC2A3D9F8D4A245A20F4276C0977CDA42A7D2D123E1E5C23FEE8028C6EB63A
deedbot: asciilifeform rated bvt 1 << n00b, ada/vtronics experiments
asciilifeform: bvt: i assume you already know how to self-voice; if not, deedbot.org/help.html
bvt: thanks
bvt: well, I was reading logs for a really long time
asciilifeform: bvt: tell us a bit about yerself
bvt: I can't say I'm doing anything interesting in everyday life (PhDing in CS)
bvt: I live in germany, ukr by origin
asciilifeform: bvt: if it aint a seekrit, what sub-subject in particular ?
asciilifeform so happens also an ukr, at least by modern day map
bvt: "security", so in the end in boils down to handwaving problems away with TLS (aka pseudosecurity)
asciilifeform: hey, asciilifeform does a similarly loathesome, and at times ~identical, thing, for money in the saeculum. for so long as you approach it the way kepler approached his work as horoscope-maker, it's livable
asciilifeform: tho i wonder -- in principle academics get to pick their subject. so how'd you end up with ~that~ ?
bvt: Hello mircea_popescu!
bvt: I was too naive when I entered academia. Hoped for honest investigation of technology, but everyone there seems to be ok with building on broken stuff.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-10#1860394 << even if it doesn't actually bomb, he has a point.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-10 21:18 asciilifeform: interesting. so will bomb on gnat-2017 ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: yes, he does
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i was curious how he found, is all.
mircea_popescu: possibly -- read.
asciilifeform: entirely possib
bvt: I was man-aloning for quite some time
mircea_popescu: well, they say the path to sanity comes with finding out there's a word for insanity
bvt: Reapplied ave1's patches over gnat17, and musl-cross-make (https://github.com/richfelker/musl-cross-make/)
mircea_popescu: (this is not even so trivial a point -- generally insanity is perceived as so very personal by the insane.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in more general considerations, http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-10#1860386 << why the fuck are they doing the satoshi * thing!
a111: Logged on 2018-10-10 21:15 bvt: empty string ("") is special-cased in GNAT runtime, which does mktemp equivalent internally
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: man 3 mktemp
asciilifeform: ( yes, they are. but posix, rather than gnat per se )
asciilifeform: 'The mktemp() function generates a unique temporary filename from template. The last six characters of template must be XXXXXX and these are replaced with a string that...' etc
mircea_popescu: item removed in 2008.
asciilifeform: tho interestingly also
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu inb4.
mircea_popescu: introduced in 2001. would explain why yt blisfully unaware.
asciilifeform: ( removed in favour of ~what~ , i do not presently know )
mircea_popescu: well... maybe 12 characters.
mircea_popescu: since we're doing this... "BUGS
mircea_popescu: Never use mktemp(). Some implementations follow 4.3BSD and replace
mircea_popescu: XXXXXX by the current process ID and a single letter, so that at most
mircea_popescu: 26 different names can be returned. Since on the one hand the names
mircea_popescu: are easy to guess, and on the other hand there is a race between test‐
mircea_popescu: ing whether the name exists and opening the file, every use of mktemp()
mircea_popescu: is a security risk. The race is avoided by mkstemp(3)."
mircea_popescu: let me guess, this is like, the golden age of f&o&linus source ?
asciilifeform: oh gets better, watch :
asciilifeform: mkstemp : 'In glibc versions 2.06 and earlier, the file is created with permissions 0666, that is, read and write for all users. This old behavior may be a security risk... ...More generally, the POSIX specification of mkstemp() does not say anything about file modes...'
mircea_popescu: why are we importing this turdology again ?
asciilifeform: nobody's baked a proper one yet. tho i can't presently see why it'd be difficult
phf: posix mandates 6 x's, glibc 3 or more, etc. thanks bvt for catching it, though it seems like a solution is to roll own
asciilifeform: bvt: try voicing yourself ( pm deedbot, see the linked help )
mircea_popescu: phf why do you even use it at all ? i mean... hash the time with a salt, that's your filename. no good ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: potential headache with processes running on parallel cpu
asciilifeform: 2 get same time turd, then collide, neh
mircea_popescu: mtime ever returns the same value ?
phf: well, you still have to stat the filesystem to make sure you're not clobbering
mircea_popescu: fine, hash(mtime + urand bit + salt)
mircea_popescu: "bit" as in "little bit" colloquial.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not that i see it as particularly likely, but afaik cannot be guaranteed not to, at least not w/out using inline asm, e.g. RDTSC on x86
mircea_popescu: neither "add some entropy" nor "inline asm" strike me as bad solutions.
asciilifeform: iirc we actually had this thread, and asciilifeform concluded 'just get 256bits from FG, and you're golden'
asciilifeform: !#s gensym
mircea_popescu: though i've never seen this thing where parallel execution gets same clock value. i half suspect it's hardware fucked to not.
phf: asciilifeform: to be fair musl's version is naive, it generates/stats in a loop until there's no collision, but theoretically you can still get a race condition. glibc i believe does all kinds of smart tricks to ensure that doesn't happen, but it's all magic
bvt: iirc mkdir does atomic 'create or error-out'
mircea_popescu: bvt unless "new" posix, that's what it is yes.
asciilifeform: bvt: thing is, there is 0 reason for this operation to ever eggog
asciilifeform: unless disk , i suppose, is full
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform many reasons. full media.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: right. but otherwise ~must~ succeed
mircea_popescu: full the other way (all possible names present)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: compute, for a laugh, the size of the disk where this can take place
mircea_popescu: were we discussing must or might ?
asciilifeform: ( it won't fit in galaxy )
mircea_popescu: unless there's further constraints, such as "all random numbers are 4"
asciilifeform: lol or unless wings fall off...
asciilifeform: rng is 'jesus bolt'
mircea_popescu: yes well ?
asciilifeform: ( if rng is sad, absolutely anyffing can happen, and imho this oughta be understood by errybody )
mircea_popescu: not what we were talking about! still error condition.
asciilifeform: oughta be a machine-halting eggog imho.
asciilifeform: 'evacuate nao'
a111: Logged on 2018-10-10 21:22 bvt: I can't say I'm doing anything interesting in everyday life (PhDing in CS)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is an amusing symmetry, republican machine that halts if it can't touch entropy like imperial machine that halts if it can't phone nsa hq.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: imho it's the honest thing to do. red lamp, 'grab yer parachutes nao!!', claxons.
asciilifeform: halon valve opens.
mircea_popescu: you're such a drama queen.
mircea_popescu: anyone told you before ?
asciilifeform: i'd be pretty interested to see FG spontaneously fail, what with the 4x redundant iron.
asciilifeform: ( and not as if it had no 'jesus bolt', it is sadly unknown to me how to make entirely without one )
mircea_popescu: this'd make a great sf-ish story : archeologist in far future uncovers remains of lost intergalactic civilisation,
mircea_popescu: and manages to figure out how to use ONE artefact
mircea_popescu: and it's a fg
mircea_popescu: and it... fails.
mircea_popescu: FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ITS HISTORY
asciilifeform: well the current crop aint rated to last >25yrs, not without rewriting the eeprom anyway
asciilifeform: but let the archaeologist find the fyootoor maskrom'd one.
mircea_popescu: "my phd in ancient history is -- the reason X civilisation died. turns out, physics subtly cvhanged, rendering environment uninhabitable for them"
asciilifeform: eh imho that's a 'dog bites man'. i'm moar into 'man bites dog', i.e. ~habitable~ 'small' changes-in-physics...
asciilifeform: ( habitable-yet-measurable at any rate )
mircea_popescu: yes well... great sf is always large scale dog bites man, imo.
mircea_popescu: scale so large, the dog sneaks up on you.
mircea_popescu: but maybe im too kafkian.
asciilifeform scratches carapace thoughtfully
mircea_popescu: i suppose the dog&man permutation duality translates escape-or-enslave dilemma.
mircea_popescu: you know, boat crashes on amazon island. some of the sailors -- excited to be rescued. some others -- burned down rescuer ships.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: btw recall that we have red lamp already ( iirc i suggested claxon too, back in the design days, but mircea_popescu said enuff-is-enuff )
mircea_popescu: imagine if fg had to come with semi tractor trailer.
asciilifeform: betcha it would, if usg.cisco.crapple had built it..
mircea_popescu: anyway, point being -- lamp's enough, don't have to turn off the chap's computor.
asciilifeform: if i ever find that mine stopped, whole thing is going to dissection table, fg, comp, power supplies, etc
mircea_popescu: yes well.
asciilifeform: btw folx read '>25 yrs' and laugh, but i have 30+y.o. iron on my desk even nao, working.
