asciilifeform: (hell, possibly whole usa is candidate for this)
BingoBoingo: Mapsploring I am finding a disturbing number of duelingbajos-fucktowns which by all right ought to have datacenters advertising colospace based on cable locations and intersections.
asciilifeform: they probably have cable in cement vault
BingoBoingo: A number of these fucktowns even have major connection endpoints in the form of bezzelversities
asciilifeform: incidentally, just about every american town of any size has a version of this: the hollowed-out fortified walls of the old strowger-switch telco exchanges
asciilifeform: they are being filled up with 'dc on the cheap'
BingoBoingo: Prime candidate for such an operation is carbondale, Illinois. Lived there once. Oasis of connectivity in a desert. Major chicago-New Orleans pipe. Indianapolis pipe. St Louis pipe. Shithole Kentucky pipes. Many hippies who want to "buy local"
asciilifeform: but still largely empty, because in bezzleworld 'cheap' is a relative thing.
asciilifeform: but at no point does it make sense to emplace anything of any value whatsoever in mr. randomschmuck's house.
BingoBoingo: USG datacenters 10 miles away in Marion, IL off of the pipe path because prisons and FBU
asciilifeform: i will have no part in it. and i can't picture any sane person wanting a part in it.
BingoBoingo: Oh I never said house. I said shed. Shed goes on shitland, in town's once industrial district. Preferably a "superfund" site.
asciilifeform: what, again, would you pay actual money to host in such a place ?
BingoBoingo: to host three machines in different locals for the price of one machine in a big city datacenter
asciilifeform: and how does it beat the 20-30bux/mo an old pentium3 in data center costs?
asciilifeform: methinks we're speaking of a 'chinese backyard steel mill' situation here.
asciilifeform: !s backyard steel
assbot: 6 results for 'backyard steel' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=backyard+steel
BingoBoingo: AH, in this region there is not such a deal I can drive to. A bring the box colo costs $70 USD for 1 rack unit
BingoBoingo: At half depth
BingoBoingo: I'm trying to think out a way to chump this down to $20 per box
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: that'd easily fit half a dozen of, e.g., these, http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-06-2015#1162727
assbot: Logged on 12-06-2015 21:46:21; trinque: http://www.pcengines.ch/case1c2u.htm << looks great
BingoBoingo: It really would. Or what was that thing which clustered a bunch of opteron slices.
assbot: Statelessness of fearlessness. | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski ... ( http://bit.ly/1Jdl1jx )
BingoBoingo: But the franchise model was suggested for a reason. When dealing with homo reddictus must put meatshield up to absorb derp.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'm just at a serious loss to picture how this wins.
assbot: Epidemiology is hard to follow. | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski ... ( http://bit.ly/1Jdl7HU )
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: nice job ? y'know i'm taller than that guy ;) though i can see the similarity
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Who said it wins? I'm merely suggesting it could take in more dollars than expended. At the moment McDonalds is losing.
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: your blog has a header ! and it's a c-c-c-car !!
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: 'Sorry, hun, doesn’t work like that. That was the Ambien you took.' << is this the new substitute for lsd ?
asciilifeform: what's it do, specifically ?
asciilifeform: feel like i heard of it before
BingoBoingo: Consider college towns. Local population of students who want a seedbox for torrents who can't on the campus network because of network restrictions on. Just need any box they can ftp into.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: indeed it's from tlp. and it's a sedative.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Ambien makes one trip balls if you stay awake instead of sleeping
pete_dushenski: ambien "It is a short-acting nonbenzodiazepine hypnotic of the imidazopyridine class[3] that potentiates GABA, an inhibitory neurotransmitter, by binding to GABAA receptors at the same location as benzodiazepines.[4] It works quickly, usually within 15 minutes, and has a short half-life of two to three hours."
BingoBoingo: Less LSD alternative and more "robotrip" alternative
asciilifeform: so ghb-like mechanism ?
asciilifeform: robotrip ?
BingoBoingo: ghb like, if GHB were ken shamrock and Ambien Kimbo Slice
asciilifeform is very much out of date on dope trivia
pete_dushenski: robotrip sounds like robocop come back from the dead as a walking zombie
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: You've never had a whole bottle of dextromorphan only cough syrup and communed with your toilet bowl contemplating "All"
asciilifeform will catch up on dope when he is finally confined to the психушка
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski still awake ?
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski ought to write a piece on the uprising at treblinka.
asciilifeform: (specifically)
pete_dushenski: hm. can't say i know much about it.
asciilifeform: ^ this re: the quoted thread with spandrell
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: have some source material handy ?
asciilifeform: re 'wives & children'
asciilifeform: what languages does pete_dushenski have a command of ?
BingoBoingo was prescribed Ambien to sleep in Undergrad. Made the mistake of taking before getting last cigarette of the evening. Ambien can trigger some odd things.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: for translation purposes : french and spanish. the romanian bits i do, awful as they are, are only because mp authored them.
BingoBoingo: Also... get ready for more bearded ladies http://pipeline.corante.com/archives/2015/06/18/aging_as_a_disease.php (female facial hair is most notorious metformin side effect)
assbot: Aging As a Disease. In the Pipeline: ... ( http://bit.ly/1Jdm0QG )
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: my recollection (ru sources) is that treblinka was the site of one of the very few uprisings on account of the participants in said uprising having already lost their women
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: what 'odd things' did ambien trigger for you ?
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: ah yes, this rings a bell now. probably from the logs.
pete_dushenski: !s treblinka
assbot: 4 results for 'treblinka' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=treblinka
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Mostly it triggered some interesting visual things and a profound compromise in judgement equivalent to a fifth of bourbon, but without the other tell tale warnings actual booze would offer.
asciilifeform: 'At Treblinka, an underground organization plotted an armed rebellion and mass escape. Learning about the Warsaw ghetto revolt from the last transports of Jews brought to Treblinka from Warsaw, the organizers decided the moment for revolt had arrived. On August 2, 1943, the underground fighters put their plan into action: to steal arms from the warehouse; eliminate the German and Ukrainian guards on duty; set the camp on fire;
asciilifeform: destroy the extermination area; and, then help the remaining prisoners escape to the forest. Many were killed during the rebellion, including all the resistance leaders, as the flames and reports of the revolt brought German reinforcements from all directions. But as many as 200 prisoners escaped to the neighboring forest, and perhaps twenty of those men survived German efforts to recapture them.'
asciilifeform: ^ engl. summary
BingoBoingo: If in bed immediately after ambien... much sleep. Problem is I developed tolerance to the stuff rapidly.
assbot: Uprising in Treblinka ... ( http://bit.ly/1JdmiXY )
pete_dushenski: written in 1945 and presented before us congress.
asciilifeform: does it mention the interesting detail re: the women ?
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: I'm probably missing some nuances because... a decade ago
trinque: I had a roommate who would sleepwalk on ambien
trinque: started talking to me about the rollercoaster theme park he was at one night
trinque: and other hilarious nonsense
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: just scanned it. account describes particular atrocities against women and babies, but doesn't specifically state that 700 "workers" who staged coup were mostly or entirely men.
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: alcohol sounds more fun.
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: It is
BingoBoingo: trinque: The cognitive impairment if I remember correctly is at least equivalent to 750ml of 80 proof liquor
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: that they were men is no surprise of any kind. but the detail i recall was that they were men who either had no wife, no sister, in the camp (or knew that these were safely dead)
trinque: BingoBoingo: yeah I took some for the hell of it
trinque: felt disoriented, confused, but nothing worth repeating
BingoBoingo: A couple years later I was at a conference I wanted to nope the fuck out of, had one left in my grooming package. Challenged the up escalator and lost. Thankfully my (actual) sherpa kept me from falling in the Chicago river
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: spandrell's 'we should stop and think what makes bold people bold, and what patterns are common to people who can fight back' is reasonable observation
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: seems like a tricky and rather specific detail to unearth about treblinka. may be apocryphal ?
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: may be.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: also ties into mp's "married men should stfu" piece
pete_dushenski: though most don't need to be told this, as spandrell points out.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: re: spandrell and courage: think about the soviet propagandists' exhortation to 'go kill a german with your bare hands.' was it this that won the war? or also other things, like supply lines from factories set up in open air past urals, etc. ?
asciilifeform: bare courage gives you: zulu.
asciilifeform: charging british 'maxim'
asciilifeform: (there were occasions where zulu - won! but notice we have a britain today, shrivelled cock and all, but still on the map; but no zulu)
pete_dushenski: well, strategy's a thing.
pete_dushenski: courage doesn't mean kamikaze in a port-a-potee
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu might disagree
pete_dushenski: perhaps.
asciilifeform: if saturday's thread is anything to go on
pete_dushenski: ok so courage is necessary but not sufficient
pete_dushenski: it's *all* the zulu had
funkenstein_: there may be things in the world not on your map
pete_dushenski: there most certainly are.
funkenstein_: as someone who spend fathers day cleaning shit off lightbulbs, i look forward to the opportunity to disprove the thesis
asciilifeform: if funkenstein_ has a secret map pointing out a kingdom of nuke-wielding zulu, he oughta share.
funkenstein_: they show up in gibson's cyberspace don't they
asciilifeform wonders how shit might end up on a light bulb
asciilifeform: own a pet hippo ?
pete_dushenski: funkenstein_: this'd be the thesis that family men have too much to lose to wage war ?
funkenstein_: that's the one
funkenstein_: compare e.g. mao and kai-shek
funkenstein_: at least from the histories i have read
funkenstein_: kai-shek had son captured by russians, was incapacitated
funkenstein_: mao, didn't give a flying fuck about kids
asciilifeform: famously, fate of stalin's son
pete_dushenski: funkenstein_: i suspect that a healthy chunk of b,tmsr~ is equally prepared to prove this wrong.
pete_dushenski: the digital domain being quite a different landscape from the concentration camps, i suspect it's entirely possible.
pete_dushenski: like the deficits that we can run, no one else can do.
asciilifeform: i never grokked that part
asciilifeform: by same argument, e.g., linux, has been running a far bigger 'deficit,' longer
pete_dushenski: difference between voluntary and coerced taxation model is my understanding.
asciilifeform: (are we simply mentally tallying unpaid specialist labour?)
asciilifeform: who was coercively taxed to write linux kernel ?
pete_dushenski: we're mentally tallying 'the state's' revenues vs. expenses
pete_dushenski: revenues are decentalised and therefore 'off the book'
pete_dushenski: expenses are 'for the greater good' and 'on the book'
asciilifeform: just pointing out that herr torvalds could run the same kind of calculation, and end up with similarly fantastic numbers
asciilifeform: of how many armadas could have been bought with the money he never had to pay
assbot: Re: realistic but short and simple LISP examples? - Naggum cll archive ... ( http://bit.ly/1Jdo3V5 )
funkenstein_: time to reveal my complete ignorance of lisp
asciilifeform: funkenstein_: read link. not actually about lisp
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: torvalds might do just that if he saw the value of such a calculation and understood the implications
funkenstein_: ah, you are on topic :)
asciilifeform: colour me thick, but i still don't feel like i have a grasp of the implications.
funkenstein_: he feels "tricked" to "give away work"?
pete_dushenski: well you're far from thick and not all that coloured, but the implication is that for an organisation as ambitious as this one, our enemies have their work cut out for them.
assbot: Logged on 18-02-2015 16:36:33; mircea_popescu: it's not so much a "i want those guys back" as it is "i want the situaiton where being 20 and into computers was more distinctive than any other thing - and you could spot a govt mole from a mile away"
asciilifeform: ever wonder how this went away ?
asciilifeform: the original generation of 'computers are interesting and we know basic maths, etc' grew old, mostly did not die yet except in ben franklin's sense of 'most people die at 25 but buried at 75'
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: i dunno torvalds well, but he doesn't seem to have 1/10 mircea_popescu's ambition
pete_dushenski: as such, torvalds won't direct his unpaid armadas towards anything like the targets and projects that mp will.
asciilifeform: but they went into the meatgrinder described in linked naggum piece.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: my nodes are actually failing to connect to either IP
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: mine connect 100%
asciilifeform: anyone else having same experience as ben_vulpes ?
funkenstein_: doing useful work is hardly a meatgrinder
ben_vulpes: i must be cocking this up in some novel way
asciilifeform: funkenstein_: read the naggum piece again.
asciilifeform: esp. the part re: 'is a surplus phenomenon'
funkenstein_: i'm not hugely impressed by his analysis

asciilifeform: funkenstein_: would you be willing to share, roughly, how old you are ?
funkenstein_: this might apply to say, nethack coding
funkenstein_: but some things do have needs they address
funkenstein_: probably older than you, just not wiser
funkenstein_: due to various factors you may have already surmised
asciilifeform: funkenstein_: so you oughta be well-equipped to understand the observation re: 'it costs a hell of a lot to live'
funkenstein_: ok i don't know norway.. but i think that needs a bit of sussing out
funkenstein_: he does mention "advanced society¨..
asciilifeform: norway was considerably more expensive for naggum than for just about anyone
asciilifeform: on account of how he ended up - literally - taxed to death
funkenstein_: ok that context does help thanks
asciilifeform: (short version: he decided that he could easily live off the consulting pay from working a few months / year. no. gov. decided that he must be secretly working the remainder of the year, and demanded tax, which he could not afford to pay. was driven into penury and died of self-neglect from easily treatable diseases)
funkenstein_: it is an often discussed irony that technology decreases leisure time
asciilifeform: but overall he was, i think, referring to the more prosaic fact that it costs a hell of a lot to ~not live like a 17 y.o. shit~
asciilifeform: that is, having four walls to sit in without strangers sharing the space, to eat real food, to sometimes visit doctors, etc
asciilifeform: this is even aside from the expensive things folks sometimes ~choose~ to do when they grow older, like producing children, etc
pete_dushenski: children, traveling, cars, hobbies...
pete_dushenski: it adds up quickly.
asciilifeform: there are other 'costs' that aren't precisely monetary, like the fact that you can't do the 20 years where you became a serious specialist in something - over again
funkenstein_: the travel one rings true.
pete_dushenski: ah yes, 'opportunity costs'
funkenstein_: damn in norway? that is surprising, from what i hear of social system there
funkenstein_: anyway, the irony is that he is.. while complaining about it.. donating his time to write the piece
funkenstein_: for us to discuss here now
asciilifeform: funkenstein_: a usenet post (or, for that matter, me speaking here) is more like a fart
asciilifeform: than 'donated time'
asciilifeform: it doesn't soak up concentration of the kind that is a serious limited resource in a thinking person's day
funkenstein_: useful work
funkenstein_: you can't be serious
asciilifeform: next time you're hungry, try eating this 'useful work'
funkenstein_: i'm sure you dream IRC
funkenstein_: I'll stick with oats and water
funkenstein_: I had a dream, something happenend in channel, and you or someone said "six months! right on schedule"
asciilifeform: wasn't me
funkenstein_: hehe
asciilifeform doesn't recall doing the 'six months' thing personally, either
funkenstein_: so it's a thing?
funkenstein_: i mean, past the excellent Yeshiva post
asciilifeform: it was a maxim made up by either mircea_popescu or pete_dushenski (forgot who)
asciilifeform: whereby a n00b 'must read log for 6 mo' before he can make any sense
funkenstein_: :D
funkenstein_: maybe that's what it was
asciilifeform is still not certain that he 'makes sense' even today
funkenstein_: lol

pete_dushenski: where have the last 15 months gone ?

pete_dushenski: i've personally taken a lot more than i've given, at least intellectually.
pete_dushenski: for that, i've received a hell of a deal.
pete_dushenski: i couldn't imagine having spent the last year and a bit more productively, even if, yes, it wasn't free. but what of value is ?
funkenstein_: the whole shebang maybe?
funkenstein_: hawking said, the universe is the ultimate free lunch
funkenstein_: i think this whole cost analysis thing only makes sense to do in a specified context
funkenstein_: which is part of the problem with the naggum piece as well

mircea_popescu: "more efficient use of physical memory. All processes share the same physical pages for the code in the DSOs. With prelinking startup times for dynamically linked code is as good as that of statically linked code."
mircea_popescu: retard put thios right after his two "security" "killer arguments" ?
mircea_popescu: so what's the idea, "using the bus instead of owning a car is a killer security feature, because a) if someone wants to piss in your seat they don't know which seat you will take (you're of course still open to sitting in a pool of urine that nobody intended for you particularly) and if the ny dept of idiocy decides to make the seats smaller and affix dongs, you get smaller seats and a dong up your ass the next day, no

mircea_popescu: they wanted the women, congregating in churches, to decide elections instead.
mircea_popescu: because they just so happened to have 0% survival changes in a bar, and ran churches.
mircea_popescu: pretty much every failure of the us post gilded age can be traced to the losing of that battle. and no, giving women the vote was not a bad idea. great idea. but they should have burned the missionaries on a stake.

ascii_field: it was begging for bullet for years
mircea_popescu: (peer over irc acquisition never worked worth a shit - the reason it was moved off freenode for instance is that it needed a special ircd to have even a vague chance)
ascii_field: what's special in that one
mircea_popescu: but i am very much perturbed by your proposition that it worked until recently. to what degree worked ?
ascii_field: i'm not seeing any oddities
mircea_popescu: can you say, count all the peers you ever got off irc ?
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i got peers from it
ascii_field: ever since i've snipped out the gavindns seeds & the hardcoded seeds from my own tree
mircea_popescu: did you actually do a full sync that was throughout dependent on irc as sole primary peer source ?
ascii_field: one full sync and several partial (into the high 200k's)
mircea_popescu: ascii_field iirc the problem was something about how /who flooded the client. so they made a limit so it only shows 100 entries
ascii_field: (terminated through no fault of their own, simply because wanted to start from scratch when testing patches)
mircea_popescu: but then botched it and it always showed the same 100
mircea_popescu: which then flooded the clients in question so they stopped working
ascii_field: this almost certainly stopped being a problem ages ago
ascii_field: as the thing (mostly) died
mircea_popescu: still, special.
ascii_field: so irc on butcher block?
mircea_popescu: can you discern from whence you sit if the following is a possible explanation : you got now and again (rarely) a peer, which gave you its lists of peers, which is how you actually synced.
mircea_popescu: irc on butcher block.
ascii_field: well of course that's how i synced
ascii_field whets knife
mircea_popescu: so maybe the "doesn't work" vs "worked 3 days ago" is simply that you ran yours for a day and ben_vulpes ran his for fifteen minutes.
ascii_field: quite possibly.
ascii_field: i will remind readers that 'irc on butcher block' means a 100% reliance on seeds we enter in config. and also on specifying node's external ipv4.
ascii_field: which is, i suppose, as it should be. but means that: we need seeds.
mircea_popescu: i will provide no less than three, on physically separate machines, provided this can actually be made to work. which depends on excellent documentation.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: do you presently have a system where the thing builds ?

mircea_popescu: doubt the comparison "more pashtun than x" can be declared in scopes where nobody's killed anyone for honor.,

mircea_popescu: in any case the actual pashtuns might be nonplussed by the proposition.
ascii_field: doubtless
ascii_field: meant shorthand as 'less of a doomed child of specialization and overcivilization in general'
mircea_popescu: is he more convergent than you, also ? can you apply CBS to your own monotony "to some degree" ?
mircea_popescu: im not sure that less exists.
mircea_popescu: anyway, to formalize a positive form for this, not merely the negative :
mircea_popescu: i propose to you that a team of two people selected from five that are only informed in general computer sanity can produce in the same time better software than the sum of all five, each schooled in one specialisation : sysadmin, webdev, db management, ux and marketing.
mircea_popescu: yes, this means that three people out of five would starve. guess what ? four of five starve now.
ascii_field: then i ask mircea_popescu, as best proof of this conjecture, to supply two people who know arse from elbow re: therealbitcoin from this pool
mircea_popescu: nonspecialisation would be strictly a better outcome. the only problem with it is that it relies on falsifying the "we are all human" dogma.
mircea_popescu: clearly only two out of the five are human.
mircea_popescu: no, the two would pointedly NOT know it.

ascii_field: likewise, when mircea_popescu has occasion to visit a doctor, does he visit an 'obsolete' specialist, or just some fella who had a 'general sense of sanity' and decided, on a weekend lark, to open an anatomy book for an hour or two ?
mircea_popescu: last time i visited a doctor, it was doctor levy
mircea_popescu: i was about six, and my parents somehow had found an old jew - complete with chained pocketwatch - to be my personal physician

mircea_popescu: "C++ is philosophically and cognitively unsound as it forces a violation of all known epistemological processes on the programmer. as a language, it requires you to specify in great detail what you do not know in order to obtain the experience necessary to learn it. "
mircea_popescu: you know there's actually a strong possibility this assertion is correct. from my experience discussing programming with girls that don't program, it often comes to some derivative of exactly this.
mircea_popescu: either "how do you know that", "how was i supposed to know that" or the more broad "this shit is just fucking stupid already"
williamdunne: On a side note something I found to be interesting; whenever it came up that I preferred the traditional model of a wife being submissive to her husband who goes to work while she performs domestic duties, it was made out that I am a neo-nazi by people my own age

ascii_field: cpp, and other idiocies that force-rape the programmer with 'classes' etc - do.
mircea_popescu: williamdunne why would you prefer a wife that didn't work, and if you do, how do you know you're not actually looking for a mistress ?
mircea_popescu: ascii_field even cpp. let's model this on the act of telling a joke.
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Wife was simply for their understanding, I'm not particularly concerned with the idea of marriage
mircea_popescu: now, you've probably heard enough jokes in your time to know there are two basic styles. one style is "some guy walks into a bar" and the other style is "this bloke joe walks into the bar".
ascii_field: (this-bloke (gensym) (walked-into (bar)))
mircea_popescu: the former is often trampled on by scoping questions by the [lamer] members of the audience. the second uses misdirection (the name's a throwaway) to perhaps enhance the results.,

cazalla: why do you prefer the traditional model of a wife if no desire for kids?
trinque: think he means that *he* has to bother with
mircea_popescu: either because he wants to buy a whore rather than rent ; or because he wants a mistress but is affraid of her bulls.

mircea_popescu: don't the online whores these days call it exactly that ?
mircea_popescu: what is it, "tribute"
trinque: williamdunne: I have had chicks that don't have a career, and seen the detriment idleness can be

mircea_popescu: why not ?
cazalla: well if she's not kept busy raising your kids or some other hobby, don't be surprised when she ends up in the bed of another
mircea_popescu: if it's worth paying for is work, and if it's not then it doesn't answer to this line.
mircea_popescu: "Because I am not religious, I have no mystical conception of an afterlife. To me, a person lives on not in Heaven or Hell but instead in the minds and hearts of those they touched while alive"

trinque: ag3nt_zer0: how do you define traditionalism?
ag3nt_zer0: trinque: shotgun definition: orientation toward a suprahuman or transcendental "dimension"
ag3nt_zer0: Plato was a traditional philosopher
trinque: it's interesting then to see humanism in contrast to that term, as humanism seems to imagine this platonic form of "human" which we all resemble, and are therefore intrinsically valuable somehow
ag3nt_zer0: it is really perennial traditionalism, or perennialism that I am thinking of
ag3nt_zer0: well I suppose one way to english the difference is that a traditional orientation would be vertical (upward, toward the absolute, what not), vs horizontal (man is measure of all things and human contentment and "happiness" main goals)
trinque: I tend to be wary of systems that try to provide a taxonomy of human action
trinque: ag3nt_zer0: I see roughly what you're pointing at; what do you make of it?
ag3nt_zer0: trinque: still making of it hehe
asciilifeform: in other news, happy 22nd june, actual-start-of-ww2-day, to all.
trinque: ag3nt_zer0: more pointedly, I tend to assume that where someone makes broad generalizations about "being", they've actually given me a command
trinque: and I tend to interpret it along those lines, rather than there actually existing some transcendental realm where concepts exist, dance about, generating meaning
ag3nt_zer0: trinque: well the stuff of matter must rest upon something, no?

mod6: I am the liquor, bobandy.
mod6: asciilifeform: 1) don't have anything to add to this discussion atm. although, we can have it again if you like. 2) I don't have anything going atm; The working nodes (on deb6) are down because i'm working on the gentoo gcc stuff right now.
thestringpuller: http://i.imgur.com/xDGYGZV.jpg << for all the people using cloud as a buzzword
mod6: The patch we got from that mailing list was from a different version for sure than 4.8.4 -- so i've had to hack it in by hand. gentoo is now applying the patch properly. and it's compiling as we speak. there is one caviat that I need to get over before I can test it though.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform 190.172.13.251
asciilifeform: mod6: not looking for earth-shaking ideas, but release was 0.5.3.1, and the thing about to be fielded is clearly something quite else, imho needs a new name, at least new ver. 2) ~somebody~'s gotta have a seed
mod6: ah there you go.
asciilifeform: and mircea_popescu answered 2!
ag3nt_zer0: mircea_popescu: yeah i am looking for alternatives that's why I asked about btc and ed... is this question a simple "where does the trust lie?"... btw you know those cuddle-puddle poddies they have all the students arranged in now? You know, the ingenious design that promotes cheating and distraction and love? Those are fucking MANDATORY in some districts... teachers couldn't sit them all facing forward if they wanted
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform 0.5.4, 0.6, whichever.
mircea_popescu: ag3nt_zer0 but have ye read the logs ?
asciilifeform still in the process of sawing out the irc sync mechanism. after this, will have to see whether the deterministic-build thing actually works (my last attempt using therealbitcoin's 'official' script died in agony on account of gcc strange)
mod6: If we add in (officially the following): { Orphanage Thermonuke, TX Orphanage Amputation, { All DNS Thermonyukyooar Patches } }, I'd say that'd be a new milestone. And I'd propose to call it 0.5.3.2
asciilifeform: ^ why not.
mircea_popescu: 0.5.3.2 works
mircea_popescu: tho kinda long imo. nobody should need 4 digits of versioning
mircea_popescu: unless, of course, they're from ms. then they need 8. or unl;ess they're running boost and qt.
ag3nt_zer0: mircea_popescu: yes some, not enough, far from done...
mod6: haha
asciilifeform: imho we oughta cleanly break with the gavinists' versioning sequence (e.g., 31337.1)
mircea_popescu: make it 5.4, good enough
asciilifeform: for one thing, would piss on their 'too old' detection mechanism
asciilifeform: widely deployed among unsuspecting folks
mircea_popescu: this is the sequence, logically. buncha derps made some rejected "versions", who cares what they numbered them as ?
mircea_popescu: folks should suspect more.
asciilifeform: was there a turdalicious 5.4 ?
mircea_popescu: what idiots did can not now, nor ever be a consideration.
mod6: well, there isn't a previous version 5.4 -- stops after 5.3 and goes right to 6... so i guess that could work.
mircea_popescu: i'm not going to not name something america because obama.
asciilifeform: idk, what hogs do is in some circumstances a consideration at meat plant
asciilifeform: 5.4 works
mircea_popescu: so then, that.
mod6: let's let ben weigh in here.
asciilifeform: again, i'm not about to fire it quite yet. probably needs another evening or two of massage.
mod6: oh hey, i think my patch built ok...
mod6: now to find out if it actually /works/ XD
mod6: if this works out, it'll be my first official gcc hack
mod6: of course... there is the entire question on the table at this point about the "gentoo sanity" patches.
mod6: before we cut a new milestone, i'd like to have this sucker up and running on gentoo with uclibc & patched with the "gentoo sanity" patches as well.
mod6: then we can finally go off of a version that we support, etc.
mod6: (basically, I'm just saying those patches should have been included in my list above)
mod6: oh, and I keep hitting an additional problem aside from what the "gentoo sanitiy" resolves. i've been holding off submitting a patch for it until I can get this thing actually compiled and working.
mod6: (have been having to add `#define __STDC_LIMIT_MACROS \ #include <stdint.h>` to the start of net.cpp, util.cpp, and wallet.cpp for some bizzare reason)
asciilifeform: ^ that's what i was talking about re: the deterministic build script
mircea_popescu: anyway, this is pretty good progress and intel seems to indicate you're actually ahead of the curve, so, dun stress.
asciilifeform curious re: 'the curve'
asciilifeform wonders how many folks, toiling in forgotten pestholes, have walked same path
mircea_popescu: not that curve. the "o noes, 75% support" curve.
mod6: eh, guess i spoke too soon: my patch comiled in nicely... and much much later in the entire compile process gcc hangs on libcpp: http://dpaste.com/3XZH8PZ.txt
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-06-2015#1173048 << do not define, or even think about, things in terms of other things. it is a horrible habit and a path to idiocy.
assbot: Logged on 22-06-2015 23:24:56; ag3nt_zer0: trinque: well I had no idea what structuralism was but read something by mircer_popescu and at the end he said "welcome to the post-post- structuralist world that the internet has enabled" or something to that effect... that got me looking at structuralisma dn post structuralism and I was just confused because what I read was that structuralism was a reaction against humanism -and- tradition,, but as far
mircea_popescu: structuralism is the proposition that elements of human culture are defined by their relationships to other elements.
mircea_popescu: this is a complex point not accessible to the novice, and so nothing to be taken cavallierly.

mircea_popescu: !up liquidassets
Hasimir: or to put it another way (re: structuralism), everything is interconnected ...
ag3nt_zer0: mircea_popescu: yeah ok, after looking up structuralism, I was just hung up on the idea that if humanism is constructed on erroneous principles, and is structuralism is a reaction to humanism... then its just doubly wayward...
mod6: here's the gcc 4.8.4 patch in question (gcc needs to be patched with Gentoo/uclibc/PIE patches beforehand): http://dpaste.com/0QHZ59X.txt
mircea_popescu: of the crooked timber of humanity no correct thing was ever made.
mircea_popescu: to say that any paradigm is flawed is not to say very much at all.
ag3nt_zer0: so maybe with a post-post-post the ship eventually by chance faces due north
mircea_popescu: it'd be interesting if you can show how its flaws impede its intended results and how can they be cheaply remedied.
Hasimir: "these sorts of things have happened before and have always been attributable to human error."
mod6: i'm gonna nuke that machine again and try to compile it again with the patch. see if it works. if not, i'll just see if it'll even compile gcc itself.
mircea_popescu: mod6 i didn't know la serenissima had nukes :D
mod6: just of the bitwise persuasion :]
mircea_popescu: ag3nt_zer0 the entire thing started with the absolutely correct observation that words have i nfact no meanings, not anymore than any one website has google pagerank. a theoretical model was proposed where meaning of all words is produced through iteration, exactly in the same manner pr is calculated (and this is why google used to be notable - it implemented a major tenet of culture at the time)
mod6: so one of the reasons i'm being kidna hard-headed about 4.8.4; i'm worried that with a downlevel version such as 3.7 or whatever, that there might not even exist a set of patches (such as Gentoo/uclibc/PIE) that are required for Gentoo -- might be a whole seperate ball of wax & problems.
mircea_popescu: this model is very stupid, notwithstanding interesting results it produces in some cases, and the failure of google exactly illustrates the failures of the model.
mod6: so if we get this one to work, i think that's our best/easiest path, currently.
mircea_popescu: post-post-structuralism is in no sense and to no degree a return to "Traditionalism", which is strictly distinct from the humanism the original structuralism was supposedly a reaction to. it is merely the observation of coexistence : the stupid generate their pseudo-meanings out of iteration, the smart (i've called these before language creators) have thei own dictionaries, the two categories interplay in praxis.
mircea_popescu: (praxis being the usage of a language, or more properly, representational system)
mircea_popescu: and traditionalism, for the record, is the fundamentally correct observation that there can not be such a thing as a new phenomenon, and the fundamentally flawed proposition that for this reason, it is more important to interpret phenomena through history than through any other lens.
mircea_popescu: stuff like taleb is a much more damaging criticism of traditionalism than structuralism ever was or could aspire to be.
mircea_popescu: (and humanism is the proposition, beyond naive, that there exists an universal aspect to everything which is immediately accessible to people. if this sounds stupid well... it's because humanism, like any socialist ideology, is made by the stupid for the use of the stupid)
mircea_popescu: at its core, humanism is the proposition not that there exists a saint peter by the pearly gates, nor that he would understand your language, but that ~you~ would understand ~his~,
mircea_popescu: or for that matter even recognize pearly gates if you saw 'em.
mircea_popescu: which is exactly contradictory to the hermetic tradition, nothing else. (which no, is not simply "jewish")
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 12785 @ 0.00041206 = 5.2682 BTC [+]
mircea_popescu: so now you're in a position to understand why strong (ie, absolute) cryptography is such a threat. it actually annuls a fundamental presuposition of western culture. if there exists something that is in fact inaccessible, then there can be no such thing as "humanism", and thus therefore socialism is just stupid, rather than being what the "nordic system" chicklet claimed for it : stupid but universal.
mircea_popescu: and this is also why "social mobility" is such a big deal, representationally, notwithstanding the nonsense it is in practice, and why the worst thing you can do is kick a black dude out of your clubhouse or whatever.
mircea_popescu: and wtf is "perennialism" even supposed to be, pico de la mirandolla and friends ?
ag3nt_zer0: mircea_popescu: thanks for the response... I am confused about this: "and the fundamentally flawed proposition that for this reason, it is more important to interpret phenomena through history than through any other lens." -is this how traditionalist discourse treat phenomena? exclusively historically? and also: you say taleb can provide a damaging critique of traditionalism? May I kindly ask, whose? What authors/thinkers
mircea_popescu: principally historically.

ag3nt_zer0: but i understand that it is used to analyze financial information, particularly in markets
mircea_popescu: in any case, THAT is traditionalism for you. between "nobody went out of business buying ibm" and "our gauss copulae indicate the future will be rosy", crash after crash and disaster after disaster.
mircea_popescu: and THAT is where taleb engages traditionalism - where it matters. nobody is still left at the wheel who can talk back, so nobody does, all that's left is a cargo cult of the dead st. thomas, trudging along.
mircea_popescu: but such is life.

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-06-2015#1173066 << check em out, the original windows wizards. to think idiots of all stripes today still try to "be zatko"
mircea_popescu: i imagine that's gavin's wet dream, if anything.
ag3nt_zer0: ok. but I am under the impression that at the core of traditionalism are simply metaphysical absolutes... for instance, "the greater cannot proceed from the lesser" - there is one absolute source, be it languaged in a number of ways, etc...
mircea_popescu: the why is the controlling aspect, not the what.
mod6: does that guy have a Matryoshka doll tie?!
mod6 laughs
trinque: bahaha who the fuck adopts "Oblivion" but keeps "Brian"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 190.172.13.251 is dead
asciilifeform: go, connect.
mircea_popescu looks into.
asciilifeform notices that certain nodes in the wild... won't return the genesis block!!

mod6: ok weird. same exact error as last time after complete nuke. tomorrow i'll nuke again and see if gcc will compile without the patch.
asciilifeform: achtung, panzers!
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes, mod6, mircea_popescu, et al:
asciilifeform: '(EXPERIMENTAL) Full IRC Demolition; Manual External IP Setting; Version Bump.'
mod6 looks
asciilifeform: ^ precisely what is printed on the box. but all plz read
assbot: Logged on 23-06-2015 03:11:09; Hasimir: the problem I have with the rarity of black swans is they nest in the lake across the road every spring ...
cazalla: actually forget it, we had this conversation a few weeks ago
mod6: ah and it bumps the version too
asciilifeform: unless someone notices serious problems, this is what will be built (using deterministic build process) and fielded on the first public node
mod6: thanks for your work on this asciilifeform!
asciilifeform: i would like to ask the fine gentlemen to read this and the antecedents (ben_vulpes has a pretty good review on his www)
mod6: im hoping I can figure something out with gcc tomorrow. if I don't get anywhere, perhaps time to cut bait and head in a different direction.
mod6: i've read the patches and ben's review on his blog. i'll be writing up a summary of my own in the SoBA at the end of the month.
mod6: (same sort of deal as last month)
asciilifeform: btw i will note (in case this wasn't clear) that i test-fire everything i post
asciilifeform: prior to posting
mod6: *nod*
asciilifeform: (this does not excuse other folks from test!)
mod6: as soon as I can, i'll be sure to patch everything in the order specified and kick off a full regression cycle.
asciilifeform: here's a thought:
asciilifeform: deleting crud from bitcoin is so much fun,
asciilifeform: almost sorry we're running short on things to axe.
asciilifeform: !up Vexual
Vexual: stones no longer safe on earth
asciilifeform: 'every program contains at least one bug. every program can be reduced by at least one line. ergo, every program can be reduced to precisely one line - which doesn't work.' (dijkstra?)
asciilifeform: astute readers will notice that proposed 5.4 does not permit externalip to be altered at runtime.
