asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the theory was, iirc, 'audience won't notice because mask'
BingoBoingo: Well, they way they've handled it in the past is they just change actors and STFU. In the past 12 years the Hulk was Eric Bana, then it was Edward Norton, the Mark something or other. Cattle doesn't care.
gribble: The operation succeeded.

mircea_popescu: for the random pile of asciilifeform's aftermarket shocks : http://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2010/09/fanapt_deconstructing_a_promot.html
mircea_popescu: i confess i almost never read the comments.
mircea_popescu: imagine how the past two weeks would have looked like if ballas was actually up there in the wot.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski unlike in the case of tlp, i'm also here to scream back.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: going through tlp that methodically and chronologically is sure to yield an interesting unfolding of intellectual development. it'd be pretty well impossible to do with with trilema unless one also spoke ro, but even just the last three years of reading would be a hell of a journey/mindtrip
mircea_popescu: this incident aside, the cultural production of b-a/b,tmsr~/the cult/however you wish to call it is both scary and exploding on an exponential. i dunno how we'll cope.
mircea_popescu: i do however hold all these as conversation openers, if anyone ever feels like delving into one of the articles etc i'll be happy to hear the conversations. truth is digesting tlp will take more than just this.
mircea_popescu: for that matter - im almost done with 2010, there's only ~4 years left, i should hope im done this month.
mircea_popescu: jurov ikr ? i've been spamming the shit out of tlp, but the truth is it's a much more convenient format than trying to make all thgese half and quarter articles into trilema items.
pete_dushenski: i spent the who weekend speaking french so i'm still thinking in it lol
pete_dushenski: i see that there's a modest pile of logs and quite a bit more trilema to catch up on.
mircea_popescu: that's why chris rock / chapelle were so important. they didn't make it tho.
mircea_popescu: and so you know, there's a b lister that's kinda half-black or whatever, from kenya. nobody cares. get all agitated when carson v2.0 turns out to be black.
mircea_popescu: "From this very clear description of the problem comes the most terrible solution imaginable: let's go back to the authoritarian approach." << exactly. there is a reason the schelling points of failing socialism are always PERSONS. you don't like colbert, pick another Dear Leader. what you can not do is go all "country of laws not men", that's dead.
mircea_popescu: (and, note, colber's power has EXACTLY NOTHING to do with "TV" in the sense of "system". the franchises use actors in masks now, because they want to keep the copyrights, it's their "Character"| and why should an actor get to own the face of their character. but colbert is not that. so, no, it's not the system.)
mircea_popescu: butthurt the hell out of the "system", too.
mircea_popescu: the fact that i get a seat at the table and you have to wait for the reporters to invite you in, that's the criteria.
mircea_popescu: and he told them exactly what you'd expect : my magic is more powerful than your magic, notwithstanding that your magic contains a statement of its own all-powerfullness and my magic doies not. this is not the criteria.
mircea_popescu: the tv personality went there AS A TV PERSONALITY, to confront the other tv personalities. because that's what everyone in congress is : a b lister, of dubious talent, coming not from central casting but from ballot casting.

mircea_popescu: capitalims got you from where your president couldn't afford to pay the bill to stay in a hotel in Europe, so he had to stay in the stable section of a cheap inn, to where you could derp about how things should be. it works.
mircea_popescu: "hey, i didn't lose any weight on that mcdonalds diet - because corporations are evil ; nor when i went to that magical fairy wicca woman, because she was a scammer. but it didn't even work while i was PRETENDING to be working out while watching chicks work out on tv! clearly dieting doesn' work! certainly being fat is the natural state of stupid people!"
mircea_popescu: there's a reason socialism is the ideology of the stupid, and it's this sorta fatlogic
mircea_popescu: now they move on to pretending like the failure of the third attempt as socialism was really called for no reason "capitalism" and lo and behold, socialism failing EVEN WHEN IT MASQUERADES AS CAPITALISM proves ~capitalism~ doesn't work.
mircea_popescu: gotta hand it to the socialist mind. after having spent 50 years explaining how the predictable, obvious and necessary failures of both socialist systems seen to date "aren't really failures of socialism - because the nazis were evil and stalin was wrong),
mircea_popescu: "The global capitalist system is approaching an apocalyptic zero point... comprised by an ecological crisis, the consequences of a biogenetic revolution, imbalances within the system itself, and the explosive growth of social divisions and exclusions."

mircea_popescu: CFNM, right there on ESPN.
mircea_popescu: Women didn't earn this over the resistance of an old boy network; the media conglomerates decided it would be awesome to televise a hyperfemale in a locker room with a nearly naked hypermale and pretend there's no sexuality implied. So anything that goes wrong is between individuals, nothing to do with the Machine.
mircea_popescu: Note the power set up. All you fools think that female reporters are in the locker rooms because it is some sort of measure of equality, "why should the males get the best interviews?" that this is somehow a success for equality, something that women had to struggle to earn, and you think that because you were told that.
mircea_popescu: It may be unfair, but it is the most important fact of human existence: people exist independently of you."
mircea_popescu: "What you want is to be able to behave sexy, or rude, or ridiculous, or offensive-- and still demand to be seen the way you want to be seen.

mircea_popescu: for bonus points : shoots all possible intel "optimization" in the head
mircea_popescu: the specifics escape me. burt anyway
mircea_popescu: didn't you get banned for spamming something or the other
mircea_popescu: i can already picture the reaction "folks" will have to anything, from you going naked in the street to you making chirality engine.
mircea_popescu: fuck them
asciilifeform: i can already picture the reaction folks will have to my sha512 that takes 10,001 times longer than the customary one
asciilifeform: anyway it is inevitable that there will be multiple generations of this. it is a very thick mental cock that folks will have to slowly and methodically dilate for before it can fully park.
mircea_popescu: which is then WELL emulated on binary box.
mircea_popescu: ideally that the algos are written for a ternary box
asciilifeform: then in what sense is the result 'emulated ternary box' ?
mircea_popescu: i can see the logic, yes
asciilifeform admits that he was very tempted to do precisely this. but went in for 'absolute minimum of moving parts' for the current experimental item, for reasons which are not difficult to understand
mircea_popescu: the damage is immense - imagine, now they gotta learn ternary to even approach this!
mircea_popescu: the value is relatively small - oh noes, enemy is gonna mess up our code ? so yoy mean like on github ?!
mircea_popescu: IF we are ever going to do this, THIS is the place to test it.
mircea_popescu: leaving aside the technical talk, understand the high level strategic considerations.
mircea_popescu: if i put two registers together, have i now made a trinary register ?
asciilifeform: and they are made of what?
mircea_popescu: so you mean my p4 will take 0.03 seconds instead of the 0.00007 ?
mircea_popescu: why the fuck not make the machine ternary.
asciilifeform: the beauty is that with a few hundred bytes of overhead, it can eat standard gpg messages
asciilifeform: prototype is essentially an 'rpn calculator' where you can push bignums on the stack and instruction 0x01 --> 'pop two, multiply, push back' or 0x70 --> modular-exponentiate, etc.
asciilifeform: no hardcoded algos, other than arithmetical. period.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-10-2015#1298917 << thread where i sorta spilled the beans on this.
mircea_popescu: the huge problem tho, and im sure you have also been thinking on this on the quiet
asciilifeform: it'll be more of a thing once we get the sha1 out of the loop though.
mircea_popescu: and it will know what to pull from either chain
mircea_popescu: and i can even use the same trusted set of keys.
asciilifeform: (considering that there is not a meaningful default for it, even in principle)
mircea_popescu: well that solves it then.
asciilifeform: the only item that requires manual handling in a correct vtron is keys.
mod6: yeah. that patch won't be added into the mirror. now if someone wants to try out his patch locally, they'll have to pull his vpatch, and add his key to the wot manually and then see what happens if they want to press out a branch that includes that vpatch.
asciilifeform: but if funkenstein learns the ropes and remains a contributor, he will need to antipatch himself.
asciilifeform: point is that a malefactor could probably find something public with which to create headache if the mechanism 'takes anything signed like-so'
mircea_popescu: do not sign in the manner of v stuff you don't intend to be in v
mircea_popescu: so then no, this is policy.
mod6: Ruby or others can be used as well...and I've only just started using Ruby as well. (which makes me feel dirty lol)
mod6: i like it a lot. its sort of too bad that the step definitions behind the "gherkin" or cucumber scenarios are written in Perl, python may have been easier for people to digest. But I'm not as up too par on that.
asciilifeform: mod6: one aspect which i never fully fleshed out imho needs some thought: when the thing is hooked to a live wwwtron, what is to stop idiots from tossing in arbitrary signed crud from #b-a logs into it ?
mod6: For instance, I assert all of the appropriate antecedents and decendants for each vpatch, etc.
mircea_popescu: and they mostly don't have it even here.
mircea_popescu: as they were ever since 1885 or so
asciilifeform: as they were in 1944.
mircea_popescu: they are probably mostly oenologizing oil.
mircea_popescu: but one thing people DO NOT appreciate is that if i had to find the "lost meta-engineers" alf wants to have been in software\
mircea_popescu: they actually have a liquefaction process (in the civilised world, not in the us) that significantly reduces the intellectual relevancy of this
asciilifeform: this is even (especially?) a problem for coal. if you have noncombustibles in there (and, increasingly, you do) you get ruined furnace, downtime, outages.
mircea_popescu: so there's epicly many layers to it.
mircea_popescu: that's all there is. now you gotta know an infinity about the fluid.

asciilifeform: for the bloke with bad-habits, baggage, debt, tv - what other thing is possible ?
mircea_popescu: if homo redditicus would pay as much as five borrowed dollars for "a woman" the us would look like argentina.
mircea_popescu: "woman" as in, overweight, with college debt, with bad habits, with the entire baggage of having watched as much as 5 mionutes of for-women tv is worth less than a pig.
mircea_popescu: and otherwise, people want a teenager.
mircea_popescu: but the woman is an unwelcome addition to the resources.

asciilifeform: it is a crock of shit, because the pretense is trivially shattered in 1,001 ways
asciilifeform: yes, i get that this is the fashion, 'box with no root'
mats: i haven't read through all the patchsets, so can't say exhaustively which does what, etc
mats: many of these protects kernel from root
asciilifeform: (with the possible exception of /proc - but i gotta run strace! what, i have to sudo to strace now?!)
asciilifeform: on an ordinary linux box you already need root for these
mircea_popescu: no. the irony is, they think "there was nothing [else] i could do."
asciilifeform: and yes, for every meth-taking erdos or wiener, there are ten million nobodies who think that their sulfurous rancid turd burning at both ends is a candle with lovely light, yes.

asciilifeform: mats: my objection is ecological rather than immediate, understand.
mircea_popescu: they're not models. and once they try to become models they quit promising.
mircea_popescu: no. they are promising for the same reason 15yo hos "are" promising.

asciilifeform: i was conjecturing that this particular myth has a kernel of truth in it, just as the stories of 'great flood' are said to
mircea_popescu: well tlp in this case. but the mechanism of pissing on X myth is parenting.
mircea_popescu: your parents aren't supposed to understand YOU. they're supposed to understand the world.
asciilifeform: because i can easily see a rational mechanism for 'i am not now really alive but if $condition then i will be.'
asciilifeform: this is also why i do not piss on 'one day my real life will begin!' fantasy with the same abandon as tlp and mircea_popescu

asciilifeform: tlp et al are right in a sense: depression, weird circadian rhythms, etc. are not diseases in the sense that leukemia is. all of these people would happily live without dope, on some different planet. the problem is that they cannot move to this planet.

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-10-2015#1307597 << WITHOUT EXCEPTION this kind of thing is said by people who, if you were to wire them to the mains to get the truth, will admit that they see any disease that doesn't show up on a blood test or xray as 'in your mind'

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-10-2015#1307497 << actually the most serious problem is that eventually it stops doing anything at all.

asciilifeform: ;;later tell gabriel_laddel: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-10-2015#1307560 << i could tell much the same tale as you. eventually i discovered that i have a 26-hour circadian cycle and no amount of punishments, risks, dope, lost money, etc. will do A FUCKING THING about it. the only cure is to break out of workschwitz so that to sleep ad libitum.

mircea_popescu: what the fuck is this "ethicists".
trinque: the thing I'm moderately curious about is what question gabriel_laddel is asking
trinque: salvia is pretty out there.
gabriel_laddel: have you done anything really out there, like DMT?
gabriel_laddel: then what the fuck is the point!?
trinque: your feelings about the thing do not matter
trinque: the fucking oxygen you're not getting for one
trinque: coding, getting the nicotine going and thinking I was "so much more focused"
trinque: gabriel_laddel: actually I will admit to using cigs in precisely the same way you were talking about coffee
trinque: not that I'm ancient, but I'm not trying to wreck the thing either
gabriel_laddel: the problem with being healthy is that I get too turned on by everything.
trinque: so this whole thing is mainly about what you want, which is orange crush and other things, but not being healthy
