ascii_butugychag: well in my case ~any~ 2
ascii_butugychag: idk, seems like you can lose a particular 4 and die
ascii_butugychag: 5 is a lose-any-1-of-4
ascii_butugychag: (it instead introduced boobytrapped raid card, but i can deal with those more easily)
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: i like raid5, among other reasons, because it makes life very painful for boobytrapped hdd supplier
ascii_butugychag: hanbot gonna have to change launch codez now!11
ascii_butugychag: waiwut
ascii_butugychag: then it gives error when writing block and ends up dropped from array
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: eventually runs out of spare cells
ascii_butugychag: kakobrekla: e.g., 9690 series
ascii_butugychag: kakobrekla: yes
ascii_butugychag: and these were proper honest whole-box deaths, or just fail-to-write ?
ascii_butugychag: can keep time by it.
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: so they burn like candles, huh.
ascii_butugychag: (as far as i'm concerned, there is ONE manufacturer of raid cards)
ascii_butugychag: kakobrekla: not 3ware
ascii_butugychag: but these were classical disks
ascii_butugychag: i've been running sets of 4 in raid5 (parity, lose-1) for about a decade
ascii_butugychag: how did you get the 8 figure ?
ascii_butugychag: unrelatedly, anybody here ever harness ssd in raid box ? did they die in unison ?
ascii_butugychag: blew my mind.
ascii_butugychag: it would appear that he was.
ascii_butugychag: and offering rides
ascii_butugychag: and goes around bragging about his 'car'
ascii_butugychag: only if he tries to get in and drive !
ascii_butugychag: take me to where they keep the napoleons.
ascii_butugychag: but srsly, wtf
ascii_butugychag: just sig
ascii_butugychag: nah no crypto
ascii_butugychag: and belong there
ascii_butugychag: maybe i am already in the insane asylum
ascii_butugychag: *privacy
ascii_butugychag: i shit thee not
ascii_butugychag: in not entirely unrelated news, i'm reading mailz from world-phamous crypto guy and it is signed with 'android privary guard'
ascii_butugychag: on mircea_popescu's planet of immortal titans it might be different, but where i live there is ~always~ a funeral and a rehash of the process with younger derp
ascii_butugychag: ah in that sense
ascii_butugychag: or is it only for cool kidz.
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: ok i'll bite. where do i apply.
ascii_butugychag: or is it a gag door, with pirannha pond on other side
ascii_butugychag: l0l there is application desk?!
ascii_butugychag: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-01-2016#1386367 << mpex submarine! six MIRV cones, any questions.
ascii_butugychag: just like 20th c. usa
ascii_butugychag: su ran on the fumes of four centuries of derp-crushing
ascii_butugychag: but predatorial mountain men were shown their place, yes.
ascii_butugychag: most of'em were ethnically ru however
ascii_butugychag: (rural inhabitants fed the city but not permitted therein)
ascii_butugychag: incidentally, mircea_popescu has a mega-point in that su, unlike british empire, was self-contained, had own set of coolies
ascii_butugychag: this, like any operation against a thermodynamic gradient, is a fragile and temporary thing, and tends to end bloodily, but it is why we have computer and not fucking-goat
ascii_butugychag: unless preemptively pushed out.
ascii_butugychag: rats can also outcompete man, as can roaches
ascii_butugychag: the man-vermin separation is the whole concept of civilization imho.
ascii_butugychag: ah that, yes
ascii_butugychag: l0lwut
ascii_butugychag: (paid same as engineer, believe it)
ascii_butugychag: furnace stoker, night watchman, etc. were beloved trades of thinking folk
ascii_butugychag: but see, in the other usg, you could actually take up those professions and still live like a white man
ascii_butugychag: just like'em./
ascii_butugychag: i'd trade it for furnace stoking, also
ascii_butugychag: aha!
ascii_butugychag: i actually prefer shoveling snow to work.
ascii_butugychag: mmmm
ascii_butugychag has no pie here in the mine, but will enjoy a picture
ascii_butugychag: yes!
ascii_butugychag: last i checked, it was usg beating the shit out of derps pretending to sovereign
ascii_butugychag: it gets away with whatever in exactly the same way as the usg it is a tendril of
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: with own hands ?
ascii_butugychag: so, in usa ~being sued~ typically costs you your net worth + some, if you're a poorfag
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: it is/was (?) the software equivalent of riaa/mpaa
ascii_butugychag: (somehow the conclusion that 'computers you can't program' don't belong in a security application, is lost on folks)
ascii_butugychag: (there was a spiffy talk at shmoo, which mentioned how nn used in image recognition usually imprints on what - to a human - would be an entirely accidental cluster of pixels, and if you flip'em, it will recognize an obvious, e.g,. cat, as a refrigerator, etc)
ascii_butugychag: golden age?!!
ascii_butugychag: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-01-2016#1386128 << holy fuck what
ascii_butugychag: 'software publishers association'
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: this is, or at least was, an actual thing in usa. 'spa' inspectors, demanding licenses
ascii_butugychag was the keeper of a linux cluster at a u.s. army thing and had a pile of magical spells, paperwork, etc. to keep the devils away from it
ascii_butugychag: like the rest of usg.
ascii_butugychag: pete_dushenski: betcha gs requires all boxes to run winblowz
ascii_butugychag: if for some reason you need it.
ascii_butugychag: pete_dushenski: if 'not a poorfag', can hire a reverser and make linux client.
ascii_butugychag: (the translit system on this box maps c/ц)
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: eagle eyes. this was an artifact of my keyboard
ascii_butugychag cleans rus/lat key
ascii_butugychag: l0l
ascii_butugychag: etc
ascii_butugychag: етц
ascii_butugychag: e.g., smith, кузнецов, етц
ascii_butugychag: i imagine that if the modern shitworld somehow survived for another few centuries, there would be programmer names the way we currently have smith names
ascii_butugychag: nfi
ascii_butugychag: (is there a, e.g., henry heap?)
ascii_butugychag: why not king trace.
ascii_butugychag: hey if we had a joe stack
ascii_butugychag: incidentally afaik knuth is the last living among the folks-who-made-usa-worth-not-glassing
ascii_butugychag: *not
ascii_butugychag: l0l i think that's knuth, no me
ascii_butugychag: in honour of.
ascii_butugychag: brockchain!11
ascii_butugychag: ah yes
ascii_butugychag: mod6: that thing is worth more than my organs
ascii_butugychag: but based on various clues, nobody is getting outlandishly rich
ascii_butugychag: may as well take off your pants and shit right on the table
ascii_butugychag: pete_dushenski: where i live it is the ultimate taboo, to even hint at asking
ascii_butugychag: pete_dushenski: i genuinely have no idea
ascii_butugychag: (everybody else lives in $4-5k 'garçonnières' nearby)
ascii_butugychag: interestingly i appear to be the only one at $firm with any sort of serious commute
ascii_butugychag: mod6: only when the snow is falling or at least fresh
ascii_butugychag: PeterL: constraints - i insist on living in a house, i insist on renting it, and i refuse to pay over half my wage for it
ascii_butugychag: PeterL: pretty much impossible
ascii_butugychag: mod6: aha
ascii_butugychag: but this is not interesting so much.
ascii_butugychag: (which had to be dug out ~twice~, 2nd time after bulldozer reburied it)
ascii_butugychag: 2+hr in wheeled coffin
ascii_butugychag: wasn't it in mircea_popescu's recent article where 'common man must be pumped through a sewer tunnel but oughta have a small escape hatch' ?
ascii_butugychag: while i have seen thinking people end up waiting tables etc
ascii_butugychag: i've never seen a human woman land by mistake in a cow pen and end up processed for beef
ascii_butugychag: but i find a good bit of what these people do to themselves to be readily optional, at least in the sense that eating one's nagant is optional
ascii_butugychag: approxim.
ascii_butugychag: i must admit this glaring omission. i have not.
ascii_butugychag: is, if only residually
ascii_butugychag: the beef is not a playing character...
ascii_butugychag: for waitress and cat - perhaps less so ?
ascii_butugychag: for eater - optional
ascii_butugychag: for instance, drinking yourself into catatonia every friday is optional
ascii_butugychag: ergo they choose to?
ascii_butugychag: i can readily observe at least a subset of things they choose to do, when i find myself readily able to avoid doing them
ascii_butugychag: (usually slowly, with drink etc. but.)
ascii_butugychag: why do you suppose just about all of these people kill themselves ?
ascii_butugychag: everybody?
ascii_butugychag: in every godforsaken cube farm tower
ascii_butugychag: we got drudgery on tap
ascii_butugychag: whaddayamean can't comprehend drudgery
ascii_butugychag: this makes sense.
ascii_butugychag: small pellet leads to thinking of next pellet always. as in the professor who described to me how crack is smoked
ascii_butugychag: how so ?
ascii_butugychag: (it isn't about whether the pellets are small, as in a zoo, or large, as in a harvest season - but that zoo ~answeres prayers~ and rewards wheedling)
ascii_butugychag: i'd conjecture that 'africanization' is at its height when the 'food dispenser' ~responds to human buluceala'
ascii_butugychag: because land doesn't actually behave so differently from a food dispenser
ascii_butugychag: and farmers do their share of 'must not upset the gods'
ascii_butugychag: ensure?
ascii_butugychag: how does that work ?
ascii_butugychag: srsly?
ascii_butugychag: ... isn't that sorta like 'toilet is a magnet for shit' ? yes, sometimes people plant flowers in one. but speaking as to its purpose.
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: the observation about 'camgurlz are a magnet for the attention of subhuman bois' seems unsurprising
ascii_butugychag: 'gold rush' is always quite similar, no ?
ascii_butugychag: thestringpuller: this was re: the latest trilema article
ascii_butugychag: same feel of 'alas sunken atlantis'
ascii_butugychag: reading mircea_popescu's recollections of the '90s porn set feels a little like another one of my predilections, memoirs of su physics/math folk
ascii_butugychag: one does not need to be mircea_popescu to test this.
ascii_butugychag: i verified it experimentally at minimal cost
ascii_butugychag: the observation about 'girl is not annoying because it is a girl' is spot-on
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: that article makes me think of (i entirely forget the source) - approximately - 'every man's life has a time when things were working correctly'
ascii_butugychag reads
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: the grep output ?
ascii_butugychag: but really in his harem scenario i'd imagine he would build something more like a horseshoe shape, so the users can face one another
ascii_butugychag: (7-seats variant ?)
ascii_butugychag: it would probably look something like a nagant cylinder turned up
ascii_butugychag: have been thinking about it
ascii_butugychag: i prefer mircea_popescu's idea
ascii_butugychag: USER blah
ascii_butugychag: NICK luser
ascii_butugychag: PASS none
ascii_butugychag: e.g.,
ascii_butugychag: PASS and USER ?
ascii_butugychag: that looks like a full relay ?
ascii_butugychag: i suppose the theory is that we are morons, and will conclude that 'trb is broken, can't sync' ?
ascii_butugychag: what, usg botnet only works on trilema ?
ascii_butugychag: why this wankery.
ascii_butugychag: here's a riddle. why no straight tcp ddos against any of'em ?
ascii_butugychag: ah hm
ascii_butugychag: trinque: if it's not a seekrit: why does deedbot use a heathen bitcoinatron ?
ascii_butugychag: l0l
ascii_butugychag: increasing idiocy.
ascii_butugychag: 3) testing.
ascii_butugychag: 2) mathematical proof
ascii_butugychag: 1) fits-in-head. also known popularly as 'knowing precisely wtf you're doing'
ascii_butugychag: in order of decreasing idiocy,
ascii_butugychag: there are exactly three mechanisms known for creating correctness:
ascii_butugychag: !s dijkstra testing
ascii_butugychag: no.
ascii_butugychag: l0lzies
ascii_butugychag: as in sunni vs shia ?
ascii_butugychag: but i'm probably the last one alive who gives half a shit
ascii_butugychag: rather than vice-versa
ascii_butugychag: and borrowed by korolev
ascii_butugychag: turns out that the '3' system was possibly saharov's idea
ascii_butugychag: interestingly, i did some digging,
ascii_butugychag: i think i already mentioned them in the logz
ascii_butugychag: it was when feynman became a popular cult figure
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: i think everybody remembers the o-rings
ascii_butugychag: it is not enough, for a classic bureaucrat, to avoid accountability; he has to put in scar tissue that gives the appearance thereof
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: no, but i've met hordes who just ~loved~ faux-accountability
ascii_butugychag: they have a bastardized pgp, for instance
ascii_butugychag: or does it even make sense to suppose that usg uses anything of the kind
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: i've been wondering, what the nazi variant of 'v' might look like
ascii_butugychag: and dc metro dept. pulls interesting tricks - retains ~half the staff actually needed so that the remaining can work mandatory overtime and earn ~200K-usd
ascii_butugychag: every day one gets stuck, rails crack, various joys
ascii_butugychag: as for why they'd close the trains, i cannot say except that the latter are in a historic state of disrepair.
ascii_butugychag: doesn't help that d.c. roads are packed to 110% even without any snow or rain etc
ascii_butugychag: (which happens every coupla years)
ascii_butugychag: when there actually is some
ascii_butugychag: PeterL: normally. result is that the place is grossly underequipped for anything like reasonable snow, and traffic grinds to a halt
ascii_butugychag: thestringpuller: nobody cancelled the uranium mines.
ascii_butugychag: (you need not only snow but rails that aren't traversed regularly)
ascii_butugychag: i suspect that usa isn't ~long~ enough to feature this scene
ascii_butugychag: (no word on whether obamitler is buttoned up inside or went off to the tropics)
ascii_butugychag: even white house apparently skeleton-crewed
ascii_butugychag: also they sent usg home
ascii_butugychag: lived here since '92 and it never happened.
ascii_butugychag: which is a new thing
ascii_butugychag: i would have ignored it but there was much noise about preemptive closing of the trains
ascii_butugychag: (there is supposed to be a snow fall tonight in this part of the world, train stations will close, etc)
ascii_butugychag: perhaps he did not want to get marooned in this tower.
ascii_butugychag notices that boss is mysteriously missing
ascii_butugychag: (which is why i normally like to write'em)
ascii_butugychag: these are only marginally easier to read than to write...
ascii_butugychag: aha already found it
ascii_butugychag goes to read the patch
ascii_butugychag: but they are not equivalent
ascii_butugychag: both statements are correct
ascii_butugychag: (other side of the equivalence)
ascii_butugychag: which is the other ?
ascii_butugychag: can just say vchSig
ascii_butugychag: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-01-2016#1380926 << this kind of sad is well-known from the 'hired welfare fella and now he's poorer' thing
ascii_butugychag: hm ok
ascii_butugychag: am i missing something ?
ascii_butugychag: these statements don't even refer to the same destination
ascii_butugychag: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-01-2016#1380965 << how could this possibly be true ?
ascii_butugychag: in exactly the same sense that man who eats chicken is not a man-chicken chimera.
ascii_butugychag: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-01-2016#1381007 << these were not chimeras ! but immunocompromised beasts
ascii_butugychag: which i don't.
ascii_butugychag: i even would like it, if i liked being in cars.
ascii_butugychag: no doubt.
ascii_butugychag: but this is lunacy, i will build own car right after i build own woman.
ascii_butugychag: built for lifts.
ascii_butugychag: hell, i'd buy a soviet motor
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: i think these pre-date the zamac thing
ascii_butugychag: mno, no transmission
ascii_butugychag: and why the fuck would i buy a new one?!
ascii_butugychag: i linked to the motor.
ascii_butugychag: decays rapidly.
ascii_butugychag: mega-scam.
ascii_butugychag: incidentally, i sure as fuck wouldn't use li ion
ascii_butugychag: for very small, prepackaged cells
ascii_butugychag: http://www.ebay.com/itm/200-HP-RELIANCE-ELECTRICAL-MOTOR-TYPE-T-R-U326781-T1-/252252847844
ascii_butugychag: take, say,
ascii_butugychag: a century, even
ascii_butugychag: out of scrap
ascii_butugychag: folks have been building electromobiles for decades
ascii_butugychag: pooperty.
