gabrielradio: the last one is particularly instructive
mircea_popescu: any place where your fiance (that's only had sex with like... 2 guys before you, and you're the best, and her father paid for her college) doesn't want to go but the stripper you met yesterday does.
mircea_popescu: gabrielradio any place that currently has currency controls in place is a good bet ; any place where rents are below cover value (romania - perhaps with the exception of bucharest - is a fine example here). any country with a weak central government (the ones with a strong central government don't have a middle class by definition). on it goes.
assbot: Logged on 07-12-2015 23:39:51; mircea_popescu: for this reason. the fundamental incentive to living anywhere is whether you can stick it to the middle class through this mechanism or not. if you can't, they can stew in their own juices and play mahjong or whatever the fuck they play, bingo.

mircea_popescu: how's he not better, how's he different from every afrigan goat ex-herder (the flood/drought/global warming/xenu killed the goats) that's now a garbage trawler ?
mircea_popescu: well he moves on to medium, and keeps at it. one of these days, if he wishes it hard enough, someone somewhere is going to trade actual bowls of soup and actual bong hits and so forth for some shit he found on a hard drive in the garbage dump.
mircea_popescu: shit doesn't make sense there, chiefly because wtf, it's still a pointless perl script nobody cares about. so he...
mircea_popescu: THEN when that boring shit goes nowhere, he convinces some misfortunate borderlines to... go live in thailand! because totally, shit'll make sense there.
mircea_popescu: so 1st, he's going to "sell" the genius "service" of literally a half hour's worth of perling around. and goes through all the motion as if this nonsense were genuinely a business, and had anything to do with money, employment, the works.
assbot: A startup postmortem with a happy ending? ..in... | By the Beard of Zeus! ... ( http://bit.ly/1Nvz17S )
mircea_popescu: about as sterile as it gets, except for the part where it drives the emotions of the mob into max gear.
mircea_popescu: so, on its own terms, in its own time, it just sinks further into this shitpit.
mircea_popescu: amusingly enough, this isn't the first pass of this nonsense. bill gates built microsoft out of the exactly same idiocy.
mircea_popescu: the way this shitshow worked is that every single fucking derp running the "changing the world" pseudo-entrepreneurial circuit is trying to encapsulate a short perl program into "a website" and then "sell it" to "a market". because fuck me, seriously, there's now "a market" for five awk calls. every single fucking "service" and "idea" and "product" and bullshit out there looking for "investment" is really a glorified p
ben_vulpes looks forward to mp's contract for the death of modern web tech
mircea_popescu: at some point and on some level the nude reality of "this guy wants you dead. no, he doesn't think you did a great thing. he doesn't even think you're 'not worth hiring' or even worth zero. he thinks you're so far under 0 it can't be put in other words". and "aaaah, he's crazy" only goes so far.
mircea_popescu: exactly in the same way "development" is similar to "argentina"
ben_vulpes: i don't see a macri coming by to devalue the webstack though. have been struggling to cook up the scenario wherein the world's managers declare technological bankruptcy and completely failing.
ben_vulpes: the mess of complexity in development (not just 'web', chil'ren) is very very similar to the argentine problem of everyone believing their flats are worth all that us paper.
mircea_popescu: "It is in a programmer's best interest to exaggerate the complexity of his program."
mircea_popescu: nobody cares to look at the root causes. "hey derps ? you're being as inefficient as humanly possible" "well of course, any other course would be an economic disaster" "your idea of economy is like a rat's idea of hygiene : the more sewers the better" "so ?"
mircea_popescu: meanwhile a whole lot of "global warming" snake oilmanship and heaps upon heaps of idle handwringing about various restatements of the "ecology" problem.
mircea_popescu: heh. he's right there. it would be an pseudo-economic disaster, in the sense "economic" has come to carry in the world of "we just wanted to" and "we have come to expect".
mircea_popescu: you gotta read the logs
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> pressing of cd was perhaps the ONE good idea in openbsd <<< certainly not a bad one.
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> how to bridge the gap between 'v means i read and agree' vs. 'we need the source for these deps in the v-tree'? <<< " I signed this because we need the source for this shit. I didn't read it, I don't need to read it to tell you it's shit."
gribble: The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: you know we really need a lot better communication for these things.

mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> only question in my mind is if we stick linus' kernel in there too. <<< eventually ;/
mircea_popescu: in other news, the oh in ohio is a pretty decent movie.

adlai: the culprit is variadicity, syntax is a lot easier when all operators have known 'stack effect'
adlai: "As an infix language, it encourages nested parentheses. Sometimes to a ludicrous extent. They must be counted and balanced." << some maintain that even prefix notation has this effect...
jurov: "But don't expect me to read the C, I couldn't."
ben_vulpes: yeah i didn't hear anything from asciilifeform to the contrary
mod6: so just those three then? and the rest are outside the scope then.
mod6: so just to be clear, so I'm not holding anything up here; hashes of the following tarballs in V: BDB, openssl, and boost.
gribble: The operation succeeded.
thestringpuller: ;;later tell pete_dushenski Did charlie just steal your article? https://medium.com/@SatoshiLite/eating-the-bitcoin-cake-fc2b4ebfb85e#.7l1nrx2a9
mod6: there's just a ton of stuff to do, 'tis all.
ben_vulpes will sign off on tarballs and v'd hashes thereof.
asciilifeform: mod6: we need to write own everything. long before the end.
ben_vulpes: yeah we might get there and again stan might get hit by a bus tomorrow
ben_vulpes: and just the likelihood of that happening makes me want those under v.
mod6: in the end.
asciilifeform: alternatively the whole orchestra is removable if somebody finds a bag of gold
asciilifeform: openssl is removable as per yesterday's thread (and the three or four similar old threadz)
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: all the deps, really, are on the chopping block
asciilifeform: pressing of cd was perhaps the ONE good idea in openbsd
asciilifeform: then we can have cd pressed, at some point, and distribute ANY AND ALL changes as vpatches.
asciilifeform: but yes, fetching tarballs from the net during a build is retarded
ben_vulpes: our current vendoring goes and pulls that from thebitcoin.foundation, right?
asciilifeform: but notably, the result is NOT something that anybody will dive into and clean up trb-style
asciilifeform: just hash the contents of buildroot's cache dir
assbot: Logged on 20-12-2015 22:01:59; asciilifeform: incidentally the de-glibc-ized trb WILL run on netbsd now!
asciilifeform: imho it has strictly two uses, 1) REFERENCE for writing an actual bitcoinatron, which is ~why i asked for it~ 2) keep the continuity flame burning until we can have 1
asciilifeform: i may have said this before, but it bears repeating - some folks might be labouring under unrealistic expectations re: what is possible with the reference trb.
mod6: or simply just a manifest of tarballs/deps required for the one-button-push deployment of trb
asciilifeform: v the tarball hashes.
ben_vulpes: how to bridge the gap between 'v means i read and agree' vs. 'we need the source for these deps in the v-tree'?
mod6: they're all a can-o-worms
ben_vulpes: none of those are really human-verifiable either.
asciilifeform: this experiment, if anyone recalls, is how i discovered the libc crud to begin with
asciilifeform: incidentally the de-glibc-ized trb WILL run on netbsd now!
asciilifeform: BUT i never finished the nand support.
asciilifeform: i even ported it to motherfucking pogo
ben_vulpes: (the kernel line was a joke, but whatever)
asciilifeform: i did try netbsd, which has all of the same necessary attributes, BUT lacked essential drivers
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: so buildroot is out of scope then.
asciilifeform: (and, note, there is NO known alternative to it)
assbot: Logged on 20-12-2015 21:51:41; mod6: but then alf said it's not ``'V'ifiable'' or something of the kind.
asciilifeform: rather than it being any kind of long-term answer to ANYTHING.
asciilifeform: i picked buildroot because it was the ONLY practical solution to letting folks who had not dedicated their lives to self-torture build a reasonable self-contained linux for $weirdcpu
assbot: Logged on 20-12-2015 21:51:10; ben_vulpes: well yes, source of all the deps right? are we biting off buildroot as well?
mod6: <+asciilifeform> http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-12-2015#1348879 << buildroot, iirc, will load tarballs from a local dir if they are present << yeah I think it does this from the 'dl' directory
assbot: Logged on 20-12-2015 21:51:41; mod6: but then alf said it's not ``'V'ifiable'' or something of the kind.
mod6: think its worthwhile just to put out the changes for V to have the checking of the hashes in place, while skipping over any "b" that is false? (files that since been deleted?)
assbot: Logged on 20-12-2015 21:51:10; ben_vulpes: well yes, source of all the deps right? are we biting off buildroot as well?
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-12-2015#1348879 << buildroot, iirc, will load tarballs from a local dir if they are present
assbot: Logged on 20-12-2015 21:25:44; mod6: asciilifeform: ok. i'll think about how to implement these changes to V. right now, im not sure.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-12-2015#1348856 << i'm not actually sure whether it needs any change
assbot: Logged on 11-12-2015 02:21:30; mod6: so what I'm hoping to accomplish here is to alter the .mk files that accompany buildroot, so they pull the 3rd party reqs directly from the foundation site instead of wherever they currently point to.
mod6: I think this was the conversation from a few weeks ago: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-12-2015#1340754
ben_vulpes: only question in my mind is if we stick linus' kernel in there too.
ben_vulpes: one could stick source dependencies into some "lib" dir, wire that into the builder, update the scripts and then produce some new patches with the entire world, right?
mircea_popescu: this is how the cancer spread in the first place
mircea_popescu: the FIRST cal however, is an infinity of leaks.
mircea_popescu: well no. every additional http call to get anothe rbundle is nothing
ben_vulpes: simply because every additional http call to get another bundle of source is another weak link, another hole for the night etc
mod6: but then alf said it's not ``'V'ifiable'' or something of the kind.
mod6: my original idea was the former.
ben_vulpes: well yes, source of all the deps right? are we biting off buildroot as well?
mircea_popescu: prolly the latter.
mod6: or re-package the entire source under our own "fork" of these pacakages?
mircea_popescu: in other news, one inch of costa rica coffee, three inches of milk, a pinch of black sugar, three drops of vanilla oil (actual!), four ice-cubes and havana club anejo especial (genuine) qs makes the god-damnedest... bootleg kalhua let's call it/
mod6: so I think programatically I have it worked out on how to make this happen, was about to test last weekend? lemme dig up the logs on this.
mircea_popescu: the question's thorny enough
mod6: ben_vulpes, mircea_popescu, asciilifeform: what are we to do about the deps for buildroot?

mod6: asciilifeform: ok. i'll think about how to implement these changes to V. right now, im not sure.
BingoBoingo: But that's when integer mmol/liter in the body is achived.
BingoBoingo: It's good stuff. Just doctor sort of lithium doses aren't very good for actual hot weather. That much of different salt really messes with the sweating and made for a miserable summer.
BingoBoingo: Lithium's also the very rare psych drug that actually reduces suicide risk
BingoBoingo: jurov: AHA. I was just thinking something to reduce the voltages a bit, though too much lithium takes the action potentials up to 111eleventy!!! and seizures.
gribble: The operation succeeded.
BingoBoingo: ;;later tell TheNewDeal Have you considered lithium cooling for your brain to increase USG resistance?
mircea_popescu: above, simple weighted averaging. if you have any knowledge of the field there's prolly a better curve to use
mircea_popescu: obviously, HOW you reconcile the numbers is an open question.
mircea_popescu: for instance : if bet on tails is 50/40 btc and bet on heads is 42/49 btc, and they're both the same coin toss, then you could say it's (50+49)/(90+91) for tails.)
ben_vulpes: i guess i'm asking if there's a known closed-form solution to this question.
jurov: they're not pathological, just black swans. with a toupee.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes there's going to be disagreement so you hafta reconcile numbers somehow.
ben_vulpes: jurov: please for to not be getting the pathological cases involved
ben_vulpes: there are n candidates, each with individual odds of winning a competition. how do i derive odds on the whole field from those binary outcomes?
mircea_popescu: <TheNewDeal> I'll tell all of you where I live and my name and then they can watch for the news << alright ?
ben_vulpes: take the odds on the republican election
ben_vulpes: beyond that mircea_popescu and hanbot are probably the experts and asciilifeform might know the maths
asciilifeform: TheNewDeal: what means 'almost shot' ? bullet whistled by, took off hat ?
gribble: The operation succeeded.
ben_vulpes: unrelatedly, how does one calculate the odds of mutually-exclusive outcomes from binary odds on each individual outcome?
TheNewDeal: there's a lot of loose ends that are popping up for me
ben_vulpes: where's the "MPEx down for over a month in 2016" bet?

asciilifeform: is TheNewDeal 'calling in strike on own position' ?
TheNewDeal: I would not trust my own transmissions in the future, I believe they've gained access to my keys
mircea_popescu: in fact people routinely get poisoned with co and have not the slightest inkling.
mircea_popescu: it's not in the slightest bit an irritant.
mircea_popescu: well, if they do it's not co. you don't cough from that.
TheNewDeal: like the staff
TheNewDeal: they let out gas in the hospital
TheNewDeal: I'm telling you they used carbon monoxide training, or a similar gas on me in the hospital
mircea_popescu: the best soldiers aren't mercs.

TheNewDeal: or perhaps already on the rise
TheNewDeal: don't you think there's some sort of world war impending?
TheNewDeal: Watch them, I'm guessing they're going to put up an impending court case against me in the United States
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal honestly, this sounds a lot more like a psychotic episode than anything in phenomenology.
Birdman: TheNewDeal: It was explained to me as such, the unsustainable inefficient entity that is the USG probably isnt even capable of pulling off schemes like you suggest
TheNewDeal: and they could actually move my vocal cords and limbs as well
TheNewDeal: they had used mind control tools. they were literally prepping me with questions to talk to a psychiatrist the night before
mircea_popescu: yes TheNewDeal, you're being all vague and shit.
asciilifeform: TheNewDeal: perhaps you're just for target practice, like most folk
TheNewDeal: I didn't think that sending a couple transactions would bring on this type of firepower from the US
asciilifeform: TheNewDeal: for some reason they never fire at folks who own a spectrum analyzer, even a very old and ratty one
TheNewDeal: like the ones that require a spectrum analyzer
TheNewDeal: have they always been using these mind manipulation tools in the US ascii?
mircea_popescu: what else would you expect them to do with bitcoin ? send it to coinbase ?
mircea_popescu: you and at least ten thousand other peopl,e ?

mod6: so then those antecedents would point to the new vpatch (at the same node level as asciilifeform_ver_no_5_4_and_irc_is_gone_and_now_must_give_ip.vpatch) but a separate node.
mircea_popescu: the high stakes game of world diplomacy and international intrigue!
mod6: <+asciilifeform> it splits off from the node immediately prior to the removal << so in this scenario, the antecedents of asciilifeform_ver_no_5_4_and_irc_is_gone_and_now_must_give_ip.vpatch are [dns_thermonyukyoolar, rev-bump, static_makefile_v002, genesis ]
mircea_popescu: <punkman> mircea_popescu: was that the new phuctor box? << nah, the old qntra cluster. makes it the 2nd time in about a month wtf.
asciilifeform: it was the only reason i had it.
asciilifeform: without having to sign them
asciilifeform: because you can throw in any patches you like, made for the occasion of the test
asciilifeform: the only kind of thing that is 'in own tree' is a patch that has no common ancestor with ~anything~ in the genesis tree
asciilifeform: it splits off from the node immediately prior to the removal
mod6: I guess that makes sense since it wouldn't share any antecedents with the original graph.
