pete_dushenski: unrelatedly, can anyone recommend a 15min UPS for a workstation ? the power in this building/town is going to the fucking pits, even if it is really goddam cheap.
pete_dushenski: anyone used cyberpower ? or is it apc all day everyday
pete_dushenski: 15min at 400w, to be more specific
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: May I instead suggest Honda EU3000iS
pete_dushenski: why don't you suggest i run mercedes inside house ?
pete_dushenski: 5.6L of power right there
BingoBoingo: No, make a cage outside house for it
pete_dushenski: or exhaust out tailpipe emissions from garage
BingoBoingo: Nah, don't want to fuck with CO
pete_dushenski: mercedes is ~200kW
BingoBoingo: But at what fuel price?
pete_dushenski: buck a litre
pete_dushenski: bizniz expense
BingoBoingo: No, I mean how much fuel to make the powah?
BingoBoingo: That affects runtime in case all the oilsand burns in a wildfire
BingoBoingo: Anyways diesel is better generators, but there aren't non-chicom small diesel inverter generator makers.
pete_dushenski: i'd guess about 15-20hrs of runtime on a 90L tank
pete_dushenski: so about $5/hr to run a neighbourhood's workstations
pete_dushenski: less heat loss, transmission loss, obvious practical issues, etc.
BingoBoingo: Or that honda with its ~14 liter tank can also hit 21 hours, but with less plugged in.
BingoBoingo: Exact runtime/fuel consumption can be readily calculated on the Honda
pete_dushenski: moar decentralised too
BingoBoingo: seriously. Also man portable for quality man.
BingoBoingo: Instead of ports man.
pete_dushenski: ya not a lotta portsmen in the prairies or midwest
trinque: They have always claimed that we Black cannot run an organization like AFRINIC (too complex for our small bird brain...) ... I have leaved [sic] through that during my 10 years as CEO both in Africa and globally. But the reality is that our own people let this kind of thing perpetuate. << muh sides
jurov: pete_dushenski: i don't believe these can sustain anywhere like 15min at 400W
jurov: but a desktop usually won't eat 400W either, or are you mining? have 24" CRT?

mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski if you own rather than rent, buying a large unit is a good home improvement move. for one thing, all electronics benefit from power filtering etc, tv sets, whatever has chips in it. for another thing, redundant power is great and brownouts a thing everywhere. not the worst 5-10k you ever spent, can just sit in the basement and make your day for a week each decade or w/e.
mircea_popescu: oh look at that, south african race relations are a paragon for the entire world :D
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-07#1477901 << gensets, either BingoBoingo or mircea_popescu's, do absolutely nothing until ~30sec or so after total blackout

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform normally it's a unit consisting of generator, inverter, batteries.
asciilifeform: well yes
asciilifeform: the battery in this case ( mircea_popescu's outdoor wagon ) is used to start the diesel.
mircea_popescu: so yes, it filters power throughout ; it supplants short timed blackouts electronically ; and longer course ones while the fuel lasts.
asciilifeform: nobody keeps serious battery (for double-converting ups) outdoors, they die 10x faster
asciilifeform: esp in a climate with <0 temps
asciilifeform: which yes, mircea_popescu doesn't ever see
mircea_popescu: all this, incidentally, was pioneered by filming crews.
asciilifeform: naturally. lamps.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform hey, it's a profession, he gets it properly instaslled.
mircea_popescu: yeah the large lights were very vulnerable, and expensive as fuck.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: here in the north americanistans he can get absolute rubbish installed for maxint.
mircea_popescu: well that's sad.
mircea_popescu: but in any case : serenity starts with autonomy ; and autonomy has some very practical underpinnings.
asciilifeform: and my point was that you can get a ~very~ good, and almost man-portable double-converting ups for almost nothing.
mircea_popescu: for instance, romanians in the 90s moved off the "central heating" paradigm on to individual gas units.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ah, i wasn't criticizing your thang.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what's so spiffy about this. so now they can rely on ru gas instead of own coal ?
mircea_popescu: that they rely on a machinery in their own hands with a commodity input
mircea_popescu: rather than rely on machinery in state owned building.
asciilifeform: dunno about ro, but where i live gas is piped in by the city
asciilifeform: just like steam was in su
mircea_popescu: also, romania has plenty of gas ; was running out of coal at the time.
asciilifeform: then logical.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile stopped exploiting it altogether iirc.
mircea_popescu: also ro-ru gas relations and energetics altogether have always been cordial.
mircea_popescu: the ru know that ro have plenty of their own ; also tech leader. no motivation to pester them whatsoever.
mircea_popescu: nothing's nicer in this world than a russian with his balls in vice.
asciilifeform: ;;later tell pete_dushenski look for 'double-converter' ups - 1500VA and up. these draw current at all times, and lack the familiar relay 'click' - the inverter is always on. they come ~exclusively~ in rack-mount shape.
gribble: The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: i suppose "power standards for tmsr home" is yet another item we should eventually write up huh.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the 'no motivation to pester' thing is possibly changing, as ro is slowly converted into usg forward base
mircea_popescu: romania does have a happy tradition of ending up caught in conflicts between various idiots, i'd be much surprised if this changed.
jurov: mircea_popescu: wtf is with mpex? it's like third time new order receives a signed receipt from mpex, and then completely vanishes
jurov: till someone pesters you
jurov: i'm not interested to keep coinbr running on such "fundament"
mircea_popescu: we're enjoying teh benefits of well running servers.
mircea_popescu: jurov is something caught right nao ?
jurov: yes

asciilifeform: neato mod6
mod6: As soon as we get through the testing, will deploy here and hopefully can turn attention to trb stuffs.
mircea_popescu: exciting mod6 :D
mod6: yeah, it should work -- it won't be perfect, but it should at least get us started.
jurov: asciilifeform: how do you know it's him?
asciilifeform: jurov: i don't. but it is not entirely unreasonable conjecture.
asciilifeform: yes, could easily be his sworn enemy, praying for his key to pop, wahtevr.
jurov: i posted the phuctor urls to his blog, and it's rather popular
mircea_popescu: or random bot following links to "seo"
mircea_popescu: this entire "web numbers map to people" theory is just about as ridiculous as the whole "bitcoin addresses map to people" theory.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if bot, it was a spiffily human-like bot. when you have log scrolling in one eye all day, ~every day, you get a feel for the zoology
mircea_popescu: the notion one can distinguish a supervised bot from a slightly less supervised bot is wishful thinking ; no matter the effort expended.
asciilifeform: this is a typical and lulzy reversal of the usual mircea_popescu vs asciilifeform mega-threadz
mircea_popescu: there's big money in this, of course, and has for decades. "advertising industry" "fraud detection". it never worked.
asciilifeform: yes, in principle it is not difficult to pass 'log reader turing test'
asciilifeform: but in actual practice, ~nobody bothers.
asciilifeform: mainly because it cuts into throughput.

asciilifeform: (can write bot that operates sluggishly, human-like, loads various unnecessary sub-pages, etc. but this means fewer clickfraudulent clicks etc.)
asciilifeform: how not ?
asciilifeform: sure, if you ~only~ want to emulate 'human reader', it is not difficult. but what exactly is the point of this exercise.
mircea_popescu: what appears to you as sluggish is simply thing doing sluggish for someone else meanwhile.
mircea_popescu: it pays to do it that way, stays under rader.
asciilifeform: i meant, what is the use of this.
asciilifeform: what does the bot operator get out of it ?
asciilifeform: it isn't as if the site somehow resists crawling of the usual sort.

gribble: The operation succeeded.
asciilifeform: even google has the pretty much whole surface-visible structure indexed now.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's just how the bot is written to work.
asciilifeform: yes but ~why~
mircea_popescu: because one size fits all ; and easier to have it work this way universally.
asciilifeform: fact is, a good chunk of the traffic on dulap 80 is from traditional bots who loudly proclaim themselves.
mod6: phf: you sent that to me yesterday right?
mod6: the biggest pain about that format is the incremental id.
mod6: but the rest I can do, and I won't be logging messages as this thing will drop pms.
mod6: anyway, thanks again for pointing me to that
mod6: i meant phf, but you too Mr. P. :]
mircea_popescu: i was talking to alf :) sure, lots of bots are loud.
mod6: ahh. lol.
mod6: my bad.
phf: maybe the id can be optional, but fwiw it doesn't need to match what the btcbase has. as long as it's unique and incremental on your system. the main usecase is that if the bot drops, for the duration of reconnect logger wants to know what happened on channel. so can do since_time=<+-10 minutes around drop time> and then fuzzy shuffle messages in
phf: but then i was thinking that i can periodically poll all the sources since_id=<last id for the source> and check things for consistency, etc.
mircea_popescu: mod6 he has a point you know, simply setting an index as "autoincrement" in your sql should supply this.

asciilifeform: hello fromphuctor !
mod6: mircea_popescu: yah, it makes some sense.
mod6: im proud to say no sql is used :]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform bot :D
mircea_popescu: mod6 so what do you do, flatfile ?
mod6: anyway, i can make it happen. just gotta ensure its fast, don't want any io to slow stuff down.
mod6: ya. flat file for everything
mircea_popescu: so get the line number.
mod6: sure, that'd be something too
mod6: i'll work something out for it. i see how it can be handy.
mircea_popescu: or unixtime. etc.
mod6: werd
mircea_popescu: ah nm, he said incremental.
mod6: well, that's probably incremental, just not sequenced
mod6: but yeah, i getcha
shinohai asked tb0t for a cup of tea, only got hot water.
mod6: worked through the test plan after 2 small fixes, seems to be working as designed.
mod6: gotta add one last part before we can really use it in here; get it a pgp key, register it with deedbot, then build in functions to selfvoice

asciilifeform: as with mr mold, yudkowsky 'cheated' by being a rather good librarian
asciilifeform: he did not personally invent his crackpotteries, but carefully cut out of actual works of philosophy, translated to sv porchmonkey language, and marketed.
asciilifeform: successfully.
mircea_popescu: no such thing ; the dead mechanism either rots and stinks ; or else exactly immitates life - so much so as to be actually alive ; and if actually alive - it heals.
asciilifeform: ustards specialize in exploring the borderland between life and putrescent soup.
mircea_popescu: much like the "bitcoin corrupts" argument - harem heals. if you actually get one, you can't be "yourself".
asciilifeform: tell this to the lunatic sultans.

asciilifeform: what's that
mircea_popescu: you ever read bitter moon, say ? or i guess saw the movie, which was terrible, but i suppose still carries ?
mircea_popescu: ok, let's try a general statement. the trite rules of common sensical behaviour exist principally not because they're good or useful or productive ; but because they are banal, and in being banal are safe.
mircea_popescu: he who steps outside of their braindead protection will encounter great power ; which, without control, will ruin their life ; in such catastrophically major ways as to defy plain description.
asciilifeform: a la lottery winners ?
mircea_popescu: quite very much so.
asciilifeform: and as per the 'money and power, car and petrol' thread
asciilifeform: most commonly, 'helpful' folks will come straight up out of the earth itself to 'help' mr. rich spend 'his' moneys.
asciilifeform: wife, mother, brother, ... whoever.
asciilifeform: until he is $maxint in debt, even.
mircea_popescu: harem heals ; and what that means if it's dead rather than alive ... god only help you.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu is probably still thinking of yudkowsky as a rich man, even if in the lottery sense. but he is actually, in effect, an employee - simply a very highly-compensated one
asciilifeform: the infrastructural work of keeping weevils out of the stash is, presumably, handled by his master.
mircea_popescu: what differece could it make ?
asciilifeform: the difference that the death he was supposed to die as per mircea_popescu's observation is forestalled.
mircea_popescu: that's a story of money ; cunt works differently.
asciilifeform: the cunt is responding to the man being a master of an army.
mircea_popescu: what, his mother handles his harematic affairs, as per abdul hamid ?
asciilifeform: this is where i say that i have absolutely nfi. was only conjecturing as to why the 'ring of popescuinity' has not melted his flesh from radiation damage.
asciilifeform: could be -- i've heard it rumoured that his harem includes dudes
mircea_popescu: is polyamory when chicks fuck around ?
trinque: says he only dates women dating other men
mircea_popescu: that's cuckooing not cuckolding :D
trinque: heh yeah, it can go that way too
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: wouldn't it depend on who 'wins' ?
mircea_popescu: "This is a post about applied luminosity in action: how I hacked myself to become polyamorous over (admittedly weak) natural monogamous inclinations. "
mircea_popescu: lulz what the fuck am i reading.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform understand, a major part of the appeal of prostitutes for many people is that they already have a pimp. contrary to what polite society likes to believe, men don't generally want THAT much to do with women.
asciilifeform: noshit.jpg
asciilifeform: 'pay to go away'
asciilifeform: which is why i was initially puzzled at mircea_popescu's setup
mircea_popescu: i've known plenty of folk who'd only do say married womenz. "she's married already".
mircea_popescu: i've known even more folk who wouldn't deflower a girl, myself included. etc.
asciilifeform: eh why not ??
trinque: has no idea how to do it
mircea_popescu: cuz she sucks at fucking ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not everyone that gets invited to be taken for a ride is invited to stay.
mircea_popescu: not even close.
asciilifeform: well sure
asciilifeform: but why install any
mircea_popescu: because good.
asciilifeform: i can see this.
mircea_popescu: you ever read asylum in the end ?
mircea_popescu: frankie explains. "organised fun"
asciilifeform: see, i dun need convincing, i have a pet installed, and in principle room for moar, but never found any moar.
mircea_popescu: her job anyway.
asciilifeform: well yes.
trinque: and something that probably kicks on in her when there's wealth.
trinque: asciilifeform: and we both live in poorasfuckistan
mircea_popescu: ah there is that. harem reproduces, just like "monogamous fambly".
asciilifeform: trinque: which something
mircea_popescu: if you're poor she can readily be excused.
asciilifeform: did i miss a line
trinque: asciilifeform: the desire to increase the number of women
asciilifeform: properly-configured petz don't cost much
trinque: it's a reproductive thing
asciilifeform: esp if they are 'inpatient' and share infrastructure.
asciilifeform: per asciilifeform's lights, 'properly configured' means reliably sterile
mircea_popescu: children cost even less ; yet it's a matter of perception.
trinque: you're not a chick!
trinque: lol
mircea_popescu: here's a good idea : singular, anecdote ; plural, anecdata.
mircea_popescu: anecdata being what socially passes for "scientific studies" - enough badly curated data to lend apparent support to whatever fashionable political claim.
asciilifeform: pretty sure i've seen this term used in precisely this light.
trinque: pretty good
mircea_popescu: yay, me reading trinque 's link was not entirely wasted.
trinque: also wouldn't surprise me that anyone in amerika with a functioning nervous system has a strong instinct of "this place is done for" going off
trinque: why would a woman's nesting behaviors go off under such circumstances
mircea_popescu: "I have lived with them for seven months now and never once have I seen them get in a fight (I know there is way more to being a couple than not fighting but I’m trying to think of objective numerical evidence I can report here beyond “if you know them, you know what I mean”)." << it's a miserable fucking criteria wtf.
asciilifeform: trinque: different folks respond differently to it. some - build walls.
asciilifeform: others - ships. etc
mircea_popescu: if your idea of "a fight" is one screaming his head off and the other begging forgiveness on knees and kowtows, then "no fights" is a completely dead relatopnship where no instruction is taking place ;
asciilifeform: it remains to be seen whether any wall, including the sea, is tall enough
mircea_popescu: if your idea of a fight is for the submissive to blather off, then o my fucking god what shambling abomnation is this!
mircea_popescu: "They both go way out of their way to make the other happy, and although part of this is just that they’re both very nice people who go out of their way to make everybody happy, I think there’s got to be some love involved there too. They are engaged, working on the “getting married” thing, and have every intention of having lots of children and staying together for at least one lifetime." << california can't grow eno
mircea_popescu: ugh lemons to fix america, i swear.
mircea_popescu: "I once felt a small pang of jealousy when one of my girlfriends was having a very public display of affection with a non-Mike person I didnÂ’t know quite so well. But I get upset with/jealous of public displays of affection in general, even among people I donÂ’t know, and itÂ’s very hard for me to disentangle this feeling from jealousy and it could have just been my imagination." << or otherwise, could start by defining "

BingoBoingo: ;tldr sorry pete, Jews can't be pimps
mircea_popescu: "Empirically the most ‘attractive’ man in our community including for purposes of casual sex is Mike Blume, who (I’ve asked a woman or two) achieves this by being extremely polite, reliable, and generating a feeling of being very safe to be around or date (contrary to a number of people who’d allege that this is beta-male behavior who I’m beginning to suspect are just sheerly empirically wrong)." << ahahaha win. che
mircea_popescu: "Mike Blume, gadabout and preterist, has grown bolder and bolder against Apostolic holiness traditions which he calls legalism. He has denied several of our ..." apparently the other priest dudes don't think so much of him.

mircea_popescu: tucker max was a "finance expert" with scott lockinesque notions on bitcoin, last i looked,
mircea_popescu: you know, the fiction genius.
asciilifeform prolly wasn't here for that one
mircea_popescu: aww, you missed such a nice pile of anecdotes. so this guy, on the basis of a web forum populated by anglo dorks, and with the help of a "strategist" whose name escapes me atm but whose badly shaped cranium i still recall, were going to "revolutionize" and shit.
mircea_popescu: it was a very entertaining few years, i definitely recommend the study of "fratire" to the entomologist.
mircea_popescu: bwahahyaha check this shit out :
mircea_popescu: "Everything went according to plan: I can now comfortably describe myself and the primary relationship I have with MBlume as poly. <bragging>Since moving back to the Bay Area I've been out with four other people too, one of whom he's also seeing; I've been in my primary's presence while he kissed one girl, and when he asked another for her phone number; I've gossiped with a secondary about other persons of romantic interest
mircea_popescu: and accepted his offer to hint to a guy I like that this is the case; I hit on someone at a party right in front of my primary. I haven't suffered a hiccup of drama or a twinge of jealousy to speak of and all evidence (including verbal confirmation) indicates that I've been managing my primary's feelings satisfactorily too.</bragging> Does this sort of thing appeal to you?

For example: Nicotine causes causes stored sugahs to be released into the blood stream which means a substantial portion of the pain of acute nicotine withdrawal is related to the Beetus.

asciilifeform: one, the other, both, neither, could be a fiction, i have nfi.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: so why do you suppose they bothered ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, in summary : 885k in bank ; 14k in something called "cyro currency" as an "investment", 50k in prepaid expenses and 307k receivables. not clear whom from, but anyway.
asciilifeform: and iirc phoundation didn't even have a shill audit so this'd be classier, neh ?
mircea_popescu: 10k worth of furniture and 6k worth of "computer equipment"
mircea_popescu: oh and 8.6k worth of wells fargo credit card debt. lollercopter.
mircea_popescu: we now have a precise sum of yudkowsky's total interest in this venture.
mircea_popescu: he got ~8664 worth of groceries.
asciilifeform: iirc prior to deal with the devil fella was worth ~0
asciilifeform: he was booted out of school for insanity
mircea_popescu: o look at that, "salaries" 258k ; payroll tax and employee benefits 22k.
asciilifeform: and afaik neither worked nor mircea_popescud.
asciilifeform: sounds like they employ 2-3 people.
mircea_popescu: at 31 dec 2014 realized loss from ripples an' bitcoins of 138.5k ; unrealized loss of 17.3k
asciilifeform: at starvation wage.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nah, they employ one catamite. the lack of payroll tax is a dead giveaway.
mircea_popescu: that catamite pointedly isn't yudk derp.
asciilifeform: conceivably he is paid under the table ?
asciilifeform: i mean, if whole statement is a fiction.
mircea_popescu: not under table again. 8664, i'm telling you.
asciilifeform: incidentally in usa if someone is employed as 'contractor' there is no payroll tax reflected in corp statement.
asciilifeform: the victi^H^H^H^H^Hcontractor is required to pay tax manually.
asciilifeform: sooo he's paid california-style. given corp cc and off he goes.
mircea_popescu: more like pedowales style.
asciilifeform: iirc even steve jobs was paid this way.
mircea_popescu: "all frustrated at the heads using him for a sockpuppet, runs off with corp cc, is then forced to give it back"
asciilifeform: incidentally -$8k of cc doesn't conclusively prove this scheme, it is common for us corp to pump purchases through a cc for bureaucratic reasons
asciilifeform: and for it to be in the - at time of audit.
mircea_popescu: just my old vp intuition.
mircea_popescu: i spent a lot of my life going through exactly this sort of bs.
asciilifeform: small corp in usa almost always has a cc, for roughly same reason as humans do, it can dispute charges stemming from cc scamz, pay vendors which won't take american cheques, etc.
asciilifeform: and i find it mind-boggling that thiel would choose to pay him this way, vs hiring him as 'consultant' or fuck, gardener, or whatnot, and just handing him bags of money
mircea_popescu: atm looks a lot more like someone in tax shelters is using this to hide from a few mn worth of tax liability ; than thiel or anyone else wanting to give yudks as much as a half smoked marlboro.
asciilifeform: how does that work ?
mircea_popescu: you ever seen "the strawberry blonde" ? 1930s film with cagney, de havilland and a still starlet rita hayworth.
asciilifeform: thiel puts $sum in phoundation; then gets it back out? how ?
mircea_popescu: not a bad film ; cagney's a dope, friend of his offers him a position in management for a company where all he does is read the nespapers.
mircea_popescu: eventually govt deal obtained through tammany hall collapses an' he goes to jail.

mircea_popescu: except hey, for as long as thiel's connected, who's gonna rustle his clientelle.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform here mule claims to have received donations that never showed up. win-win as they say.
asciilifeform: not only is this logical,
mircea_popescu: the "assets match ~30% of theoretical income" is a major flag ; the periodic name changes a slightly less major flag.
asciilifeform: but i suspect that ~all american 'nonprofits' operate some variant of this chumpatron.
mircea_popescu: there's more. in any case - let it be said faux charities are today as were a century ago the principal tax fraud mechanism.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform bout two thirds.
asciilifeform: hey, since when even, children's crusade.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's a major factor in the "i can't explain why the fuck this guy went all usgtronic".
mircea_popescu: well... odds are he's a principal in a charity somewhere that cooked the books. "seemed the right thing to do" "i just took people's word" "i just wanted to" etc.
