mircea_popescu: !$ssh 131.252.130.248
mircea_popescu: kanzure re "broken while uploaded" : tell fenn phuctor has not just all the pgp keys ; but also all the ssh keys, though apparently not the one for his home computer. and to stop being so superficial wtf.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: we're ~61% though the Framedragger dataset atm.
mircea_popescu: aha. not to mention you know, http://trilema.com/2016/internet-census-2016/ and so on.
asciilifeform: ( after this -- Framedragger take2; then ssl ... )
mircea_popescu: but then again this is how the whole "democracy" derp dies, "publish the data so people who don't have the time to study it don't study it"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: hey, why would they want to study it! can simply 'unhappen' it. i suspect they will not even flinch when we start formatting their hdds
asciilifeform: and zeroing their fw.
mircea_popescu: o lol, what was that, i recall something in this vein
mircea_popescu: oh oh, the alt-power dorks, right right.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform : in other news, cat *.log | wc -l > 1231786.

asciilifeform: aaah the heathens
asciilifeform: that's what, a month of us.
asciilifeform: in 5y...
mircea_popescu: nah, about 5 years.
mircea_popescu: what's the noise level here, 500-1k lines a day or something like that. about same.
asciilifeform: #gavins or wherever, about same, i suspect ( if largely part-join spamola )
mircea_popescu: ah, i didn't specifically exclude that. lessee.
mircea_popescu: cat *log | grep -v ' \[~' | wc -l > 921344
mircea_popescu: notrly that bad. 1/3 or so.
asciilifeform: now if only it were something more interesting than thiel fellatio, string-theoretical quantum mimblewimbles, and gaseous nutritions...
asciilifeform: ( so far is all i saw )
mircea_popescu: time has a splendid way of resolving such uncertainties.
asciilifeform: whole thing reeks rancidly of 'bay aryan'. whether there is something of substance buried beneath the kilometres of sludge -- i cannot say.
mircea_popescu: i think one of the major advantages of my not living there is starting to shape itself pretty clearly. you're rather reactively allergic, aren't you alfie.
BingoBoingo: 'bay aryan' is just another way of spelling 'gay carrion'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if i live to see the thermoablation of shitifornia, i will have lived long enough.
asciilifeform: ideally 1 perfect sheet of glass, not 1 tree standing.
mircea_popescu: dja have any idea what that'd cost ?
asciilifeform: well clearly toomuch. but can dream!11

asciilifeform: wellyes.
asciilifeform: recall scene from '100 yrs of solitude'

mircea_popescu: or to anyone for that matter.
asciilifeform: and will point out, glass sheet consisting of former 'bay area' ~is~ possible.

asciilifeform: pretty sure that the curative asteroid would also leave behind a few blind,deaf crapple campus janitor, to tell tale.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform saw the lulzy part where superficial fenn correctly identifies usg as "a bunch of neonazis that want to gas everybody except themselves" ?
asciilifeform: entirely correct
mircea_popescu: even the blind clock...
mircea_popescu: anyway. kinda not so much there that i want to read other days on its basis.
asciilifeform: btw the original 'donor blood' BcHE 'bioscavenger' thing -- afaik still in production. when you donate blood in usa, chances are, some of it goes to help lizards survive their inevitable someday contact with the curative gas.
mircea_popescu: kanzure recommend a coupla good log days in your estimation if you will.
asciilifeform: as 20k-usd/dose prophylactic.
mircea_popescu: not even that expensive. one openbsd.
asciilifeform: per fucktard per day.
mircea_popescu: sounds about right
asciilifeform: y'know, the old legends re liches drinking blood of young ? well, these -- do.
asciilifeform: literally.
mircea_popescu: hey. there's nothing wrong with ilya muromets kills the koschei. BUT! there's also nothing wrong when koschei kills all the fucktarded uppity youth who weren't ilya.
asciilifeform: they largely die of boredom.
asciilifeform: turns out -- koschei's sharpest knife.
mircea_popescu: guess so.
asciilifeform: oh, speaking of death by boredom,
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform heh
asciilifeform: unfuckingbelievable.
BingoBoingo: From the WhatTheFun mines: "I come from the Houston area and have been heartbroken about the damage and scenes from Harvey. I decided to donate $250 and asked my girlfriend if she would match it. She agreed, and then when I asked if she had given to the Red Cross or someone else, I learned that she donated to the Humane Society. I know she’s absolutely nuts about animals, especially our own dogs, but to give to animals when people are
BingoBoingo: in trouble seems heartless to me. She’s much more politically active than I am, and I finally asked if she did that to avoid the possibility of giving money to someone who voted for Trump, and she admitted that was one of the reasons. I think that’s awful, and we’ve been fighting about it ever since. She thinks as a gay woman I should see her side, but I just can’t."
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: wait till she learns how the street dogz of houston, voted.
BingoBoingo: Make Kibble Great Again!
mircea_popescu: fun fact : dogs grab pussy all teh time ; would have all voted trump.
mircea_popescu: nothing hates old women society as much as dogs do.
asciilifeform: they'll root out the menstruators, also, as if pig -- truffle
mod6: aha
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> nothing hates old women society as much as dogs do. << lettuce not forget the Human Society's other priority, the cats! Cats who fleece old women society while snorting catnip and other drugs during pussy grabbing orgies.

a111: Logged on 2017-08-29 03:26 kanzure: if operatig the yudkowsy parody twitter account for five years is insufficient to convince you that i absolutely hate the person, then what would?
phf: there was a wiki in 2005 or so, called "mentat wiki". i think it was cool not so much for the content as the premise. it was supposed to be a collection of techniques for memory recall, arithmetic, problem solving, that sort of stuff.
phf: but i think it was cool as a kind of roleplay toy "learn all these tricks and you'll be just like a mentat from dune"
phf: but the name was obviously tongue in cheek
phf: my impression is all that lesswrong, rationalwiki, yudkowsky, etc. is basically mentat wiki that took itself seriously.
kanzure: you're still lumping me in with the "rationalists"?
shinohai catches up on megalog with coffee .... [~]D
phf: well, that aside wasn't about you, but about yudkowsky.
kanzure: alright
phf: but yes i still think that you're a rationalist, without quotes. i don't think you would object to it, i mean, if you go by definition (opinions and actions based on reason and knowledge) rather than "rationalwiki" "rationalist".

asciilifeform: 19:41 <@fenn> the patent was the excuse everyone used for not sharing their homegrown plasmids
asciilifeform: 19:41 <@fenn> but now that there's no patent, still no free bacteria
asciilifeform: 17:11 < justanotheruser> kanzure: are you the 1%?
asciilifeform: 17:12 < kanzure> why do you ask?
asciilifeform: 17:12 < justanotheruser> kanzure: because you buy stuff for a bunch of people on IRC in the name of science
asciilifeform: 17:12 < justanotheruser> sounds like what a scientist would do if he became a 1%er
asciilifeform: 17:12 < seba-> really
asciilifeform: 17:13 < kanzure> i am probably 1%

asciilifeform: 17:13 < seba-> what will you buy me
asciilifeform: kanzure: you've been doing this since... '07? or when. what do you and the platoon of talkers have to show for it ? where is the desktop-biolab-on-a-chip ?
asciilifeform: or how about this gem:
asciilifeform: 15:06 < kanzure> uh, my complaint about lasers isn't about the laser itself, but rather the optics usually associated (or, in cases where i need to maintain a co2 tube, i also mean co2 tubes)
asciilifeform: srsly, 'too hard to maintain co2 tube and exhaust' ? let's-go-shopping ?
asciilifeform: even i have a working co2 setup. and i'm not even '1%'.
asciilifeform: i dun even live in fucking califuckia
asciilifeform: or... 15:26 <@fenn> now this may sound radically radical, but why not just use a metal tube << this and elsewhere, demonstrates that any and all of these people, are innocent of having ever worked with their hands, or studied so much as kindergarten experimental physics, chemistry, take yer pick

a111: Logged on 2017-08-28 23:07 phf: it is certainly because you haven't found the right pdfs

asciilifeform: there's 50x moar gem material in that there linked log, but i will spare the reader.
kanzure: asciilifeform: what projects would you like to see specifically? didn't like the electroporator?
kanzure: prefering solid state lasers to co2 tubes is not a crime. but you're welcome to chase ancient tech.
kanzure: interesting how you dismiss the possibility of "hand work" by some irc logs. i guess his equipment is totally fake, huh. (wtf?)
trinque: quote logs or gtfo, seriously.
trinque: this sloppiness is not how threads go in the forum.
kanzure: yes i'm sure things are usually like this (asciilifeform making up bullshit)

asciilifeform: the 1 item i'm still curious about, before the floor hatch opens to eject kanzure , is why the hell he is here
kanzure: i thin there are >1 kw laser diodes
asciilifeform: there are . they're five-figures.
asciilifeform: my tube -- 300bux./
kanzure: right.. so they exist.
asciilifeform: of course they exist. but q was 'why the hell still using tubes'
asciilifeform: because diode -- still golden toilet.
kanzure: i think generally we should prefer less breakable things; i'm not convinced that the non-tubes should be expensive.
asciilifeform: kanzure: if you're selling kilowatt 1000nm diode -- i'll buy !
asciilifeform: ... if costs less than tube.
kanzure: this is sounding more and more like a market. there's even demand. hmm.
asciilifeform: kanzure: there's ~infinite demand.
asciilifeform: tubes suck.
asciilifeform: but currently best bang for the buck, by order of magnitude.
asciilifeform: ~all large industrial cutting laser -- tube, still.
asciilifeform: diode could take over in hobbyist niche, if 30W diode didn't cost same as 100W tube. ( 30w cutter is a toy, fit only for carving porn into wooden planks )
kanzure: do you know why the laser diodes are expensive?
asciilifeform: can't say that i do
asciilifeform: will guess -- small runs.
kanzure: ugh i hope not. that would be the stupidest reason.
asciilifeform: how about find the reason, kanzure . sell some diodes. sell something useful. elsewise it looks very strange, you come here for no apparent reason than to insult, 'y'all idjits, noise, yer products, all fake, mp is powerless dolt just like me and my shilliconvalley catamites' etc
asciilifeform: pro tip : piss on american patents, 'regulations', decrees.
asciilifeform: boosts not only your profit margin, but respectability, 100x.
asciilifeform: if -- as i understand -- you're a money man, kanzure , what the hell are you still doing in the heart of the shitreich ?
asciilifeform: get out, to the free world.
asciilifeform: take a fat, greasy shit right into the mouth of 'intellectual property', 'bioethics', misc. retardations.
asciilifeform: visit pyongyang. moscow. betcha there are sane folx there, who will listen when you offer cheap laserdiode, microplate analytical box, etc
asciilifeform: ( the flip side: if you don't deliver on schedule, might lose your head... but you WILL deliver, neh? 0
kanzure: apparently you forgot the reason why i entered. i had a question and it has been answered ("nah we only do noise- it's intentional though, so it's okay to be worthless.")
asciilifeform: project much ?
asciilifeform: where is the www where i can order kanzure's physical product ?
kanzure: it's literally the answer i was given
asciilifeform: so far i see only the page where i can read his noise
kanzure: do you mean the electroporator? which thing are you buying and why?
asciilifeform: electroporator is trivial, i can get surplus one or make own for a hundy
asciilifeform: how about cheap laser diode ?
asciilifeform: or desktop ic fab
kanzure: that's not something 've been working on. so i'm not sure it merits surprise that i don't have one?
asciilifeform: fine, desktop hplc ?
asciilifeform: iirc you were making one in '07
asciilifeform: i'd buy
kanzure: hplc in 2007 no that doesn't sound right. might have been someone else.
asciilifeform: aite... what DO you have ? can haz catalogue ?
kanzure: that's a reasonable request. i'll make catalog.
asciilifeform: plenty of unsolved technical problems, of the 'yes, golden toilet from lockheed exists, but how about a human-priced version that pisses on patents and 'property''
asciilifeform: i'd buy a desktop atomic force microscope, say.
asciilifeform: or compact electron microscope.
kanzure: i bought a FIB recently btw. have you played with one?
asciilifeform: nope. but would buy !
asciilifeform: supposing it were cheap, but, even more importantly, SMALL
kanzure: yea had to get a forklift to move this thing
asciilifeform: my microscopy plans are very modest : 1uM ic dies.
kanzure: 1 micron feature size?
asciilifeform: early 1990s.
asciilifeform: what do you image with your FIB, kanzure ?
kanzure: yes i am not sure why everyone wants to obsess over 28nm these days.
kanzure: FIB was recently acquired, currently sitting in crate, needs to be uncrated at goon house
asciilifeform: so... purchased 'just in case' ?
asciilifeform: ( nuffin' wrong with that, i suppose, if you have infinite floor space )
kanzure: just in case it works? haha
kanzure: infinite floor space is located right next to my mobious strip
asciilifeform: ( i assumed 'goon house' means warehouse with 'infinite' floor or similar )
kanzure: no it's literally someone's house.
asciilifeform: fib is interesting to be strictly from home-fab pov
asciilifeform: but it scarcely qualifies, costwise, as 'home'
asciilifeform: ( and yes, i am no stranger to buying surplus instruments. but they only SEEM cheap. what if you needed 25 of them ? or a guarantee that they continue to work for six months, without major interruption ? then welcome back to seven-figure list price. )
asciilifeform: kanzure: mp insists that he 'has no goals', but i've got a few. one of them, is a 100% nato-free workstation comp.

asciilifeform: kanzure: workstation
asciilifeform: as in, the item on your desk
trinque: "goal" is being used as a placeholder for the macro-expanded version which lines up the causes
asciilifeform: as in, machine for cad, crypto, chitchat, breaking rsa, viewing pr0n, whichever it is that one does.
asciilifeform: trinque: i don't disagree
asciilifeform: kanzure: 'nato-free' means, approximately, 'no place for nsa to hide'.
kanzure: yep understood.
kanzure: why took so long for the black ice storm whatever clifford wolfyap fpga stuff?
asciilifeform: which means NO black boxes, NO ic for which i did not personally approve the gate layout, and NO c/cpp code anywhere inside, as well as machine arch which boundschecks all array accesses.
asciilifeform: kanzure: ask the folx who did the reversing, not me, why took so long.
asciilifeform: presumably they had to pry apart the closed x86 floorplanner turds.
kanzure: "oh no i'll have to figure out an acid bath" siliconpr0n.org guy seems to do it regularly
asciilifeform: i don't recall him ever going from micrograph to fpga bitstream format
asciilifeform: ( would be spiffy tho. )
kanzure: uhh yes?
asciilifeform: kanzure: ever used ?
asciilifeform: understand what even 0.00001% ocr error rate means in re ic layout ?
kanzure: like errors when reading the nth dram cell matter
asciilifeform: who promised that it will be 'nth dram cell' ?
asciilifeform: and not somewhere else.
kanzure: anyway what was the goal, i thought it was established that circuit was insufficient, given doping layer trojans (yes there was a follow-up article but it was dumb)
asciilifeform: kanzure: i've always wanted to discuss, with clueful folx, what specifically one ought to put in 'doping trojan' to sabotage an fpga

asciilifeform: takes 2 arbitrary waveforms, on the 2 input jacks, has nfi whether they come from the analogue boards that ship with the unit, or from audit machine.
asciilifeform: ( which expects, e.g., a TB output, known only to the auditor )
asciilifeform: kanzure: believe or not, i keep up with the literature. tell me how to boobytrap fpga.
asciilifeform: so that instead of the specified circuit, it instead does something different. and such that i and the buyers, do not immediately find out .
kanzure: are you willing to accept sufficiently shit fpgas? you can do something like massive buffering of the bitstream and then do analysis to check for known circuits in a lookup table :\.
asciilifeform: kanzure: what means 'shit fpga' ?
kanzure: low performance
kanzure: notably annoying when setting the bitstream up
asciilifeform: there aren't many smaller fpga sold than the 9572.
asciilifeform: 72 macrocells.
asciilifeform: ( it's a cpld, to be pedantic. )

mircea_popescu: yes, i did read the original coupla books, as a 15yo boy.
mircea_popescu: i did not read the sequels.
asciilifeform: they were rubbish
mircea_popescu: i was busy with girls by then.
asciilifeform: original was entertaining. mentat was a sort of artisan, humancalculator-rationator.
mircea_popescu: yes, but in a mystical rather than artisanal sense
asciilifeform: ( a more refined variant of the real-life 19th c profession of 'calculator' )
mircea_popescu: ie, like a very beautiful girl ; not like a very well trained $sport boy.
asciilifeform: in the b00k, it was described that they were selected & trained, and somewhat rare ( i.e. if yours got killed, it was an expensive problem , to replace )
mircea_popescu: right. which is why in my mind it's represented as a sort of you know, moon. "you can't reboot the machine without knowing what it's doing"
mircea_popescu: you can't train into being moon ; and if you are moon you can train while playing civ or golden axe. i know i did.
asciilifeform: herbert does not say ~how~ they got trained.
asciilifeform: much of the appeal of the b00k, imho, was that it left such detail to imagination.
asciilifeform: as soon as he started shitting out sequels where the details filled in -- permanent ruin.
mircea_popescu: indeed. and much of the result is that it creates different notions in different people.
mircea_popescu: but you're very much correct, and yes, the #1 skill of mp-writer is exactly "do not specify".
mircea_popescu: it's plain to notice, too, all the fanfic porn on literotica or whatever always has these stat cards, "she was so and so and tits like that and the other".
mircea_popescu: that ain't literature anymore than memory-trained monkey is thinker.
mircea_popescu: i think the later author (iirc the sequels weren't written by the original, but some son or inheritor at any rate) suffered very much from the equalizing stupidity (ie, unaware of differences, thinking self equivalent to anyone) who then imagined "what people want" is "to have blanks filled in" and produced very much http://trilema.com/2017/and-dont-go-around-upgrading-the-testaments-either/#selection-67.187-67.188

asciilifeform: but the observation stands.
asciilifeform: orig b00k rocked because left much to imagination.
asciilifeform: this is an extremely common thing.
mircea_popescu: goes right back to http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-28#1704371 ; it's very easy as an author to write great books -- write books that only appeal to the intelligent and get a free ride on your reader's backs.

mircea_popescu: and further, how many are the same factors ? because it's starting to occur to me we might be able to find an openssh bug through birthdaying the factors it keeps popping up.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: mechanism is, if isprime(N / q), then p = N/q , announce(p).
mircea_popescu: and often it announces a p and a p'!
asciilifeform: that's when isprime(N/q)
mircea_popescu: if it's the case that "here's this list of 200 primes which popped 2000 moduli", then we should make a histogram of moduli per prime.
asciilifeform: this case is known as 'properly phucked'
mircea_popescu: yes, and how common is it ?

For this reason you are to expect no fundamental problems, it's not like you might run into a male that doesn't want to find himself in the safe,

We say we'll do it cheaper (or whatever), we license it all open source and so on, make our money from it, and apply it to what we need to get done in our tech-base of free stuff anyway."

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: recall that time when somebody wrote in and asked mircea_popescu to 'lend him a gurl' ?
asciilifeform: 'one you aren't using'
asciilifeform: it was in a trilema
mircea_popescu: IT IS EVERY TIME
mircea_popescu: the only time they don't dare is when the girl is right there and she's taller than them and as the song went, "modelul nou de fata s-ar putea sa-l bata"
mircea_popescu: but otherwise, yes, daily.
asciilifeform: 'oh and can i borrow the deathray too!'
mircea_popescu: and the eye glasses and you know.
kanzure: death rays ain't what they used to be
phf: if i only i had more men to continue doing nothing with me
mircea_popescu: neither the future is what it used to be.
asciilifeform: aaactually deathray is one of the few items that stayed quite the same since 1890.
asciilifeform: !#s deathray plot
phf: why i'd be the next genghis khan in my mind by now
asciilifeform: phf: can't permit a doingnothers-gap!11
mircea_popescu: phf what'd you have him do ?
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> aaactually deathray is one of the few items that stayed quite the same since 1890. << Nah, now they jacket the mass of lead atoms with a different metal
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo bullet may have a waveform associated with it, but it's trivial!
mircea_popescu: so not a proper ray!
asciilifeform: 'GMO is not allowed unelss you have a certified lab. The chief of the fire department institute, it's called CDDBTK (what?), but we have a positive dialog about when to file they will give us permission apparently to do GMO work. '
mircea_popescu: < kanzure> also it's because i feel ashamed for not having thousands of hours of microscopy video already << i hope shame intensifies. but in any case : why the fuck wouldf you make it video.
kanzure: you prefer individual jpegs?
kanzure: elaborate
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Of course it's not a 'proper' ray! It's a DEATH ray! No reason to be polite
asciilifeform: ic dies don't move.
kanzure: but pokemon do
asciilifeform: devils move , at room temp, but that's why you crystallography'em
mircea_popescu: kanzure the overhead of movement is 90% + of the cost you incur ; and 1% or less of the point of interest. microscopy is supposed to be gifs. and correctly colorized so as to allow me to get back the electron microscope original.
mircea_popescu: (i don't mean animated gifs, i mean paletted.)
kanzure: microscopy is supposed to be gifs? next you're going to tell me webm
kanzure: oh.
mircea_popescu: you don't want the "color levels" nonsense of bitmap/jpeg family. you want the gif palette, and a clearly explicit mapping to the electron microscope output.
mircea_popescu: this way you actually have a de facto lossless, and rather useful, microscopy remote format.
mircea_popescu: (likbez : the result of microscopy is a set, of levels, that are not numbers in the proper sense. consequently you wish to see a list of them, but can not do implicit color conversions such as blue+yellow = green, because color #45 the microscope saw has nothing to do with #65 or #72)
asciilifeform: 'FBI question, not biocurious... there's 30k or 40k people getting PhDs in biology, and 100s of people in amateur biology. Why is the FBI focused on the amateur side, and such a higher risk or higher threat from people coming out of the more traditional sciences? Nathan: Well, we're not a one trick pony. We have a lot of assets dedicated to academic biosecurity outreach. We have established such a great relationship with DIYbio from
asciilifeform: the beginning, we wish to continue the conversation and use this as an exchange of information, so I would say that amateur biology on the stage from the FBI's perspective should not be perceived as us taking the community seriously from a threat or security perspective, these are the whitehats in this room. It's our goal that we operate safely and securely to identify those blackhats if they are out there. .... we're from DNA 2.0. W
asciilifeform: e're engaged with the FBI, proportionally as the FBI engages in the amateur community. '
asciilifeform: hey hey mircea_popescu , do you remember back when fbi/nsa 'engaged with' the 'cryptographer komyoonity' ?
asciilifeform: and what the result was ?
mircea_popescu: yes. and what a lulz that was.
mircea_popescu: "Why is the FBI focused on the amateur side, and such a higher risk or higher threat from people coming out of the more traditional sciences?" << because people coming from "traditional" are already neutered.
asciilifeform: noshit.jpg
mircea_popescu: you know they're not going to do anything worth the mention as part of the definition.
asciilifeform: asciilifeform lives next to a large reservation for these creatures. lab that makes usg-approved, 'law-abiding' drones; ic fab which makes safely-useless rubbish; electron microscope where asciilifeform is not invited within cannon's breadth, even for money; etc
asciilifeform: lately asciilifeform cannot even use the library catalogue. copyrights, you see. 'students only'
mircea_popescu: so enroll, what.
asciilifeform: i used to do just that
asciilifeform: got tired of feeding the scambeast.
mircea_popescu: ah. so then proper statement is, "alf has no use for them"
asciilifeform: then bought scamola 'life membership' , which retro-revoked ~all useful features recently

asciilifeform: and monsanto

BingoBoingo got a speeding ticket earlier this month. In ~two weeks there is a hearing on motions and discovery
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: usgistic 'memberships' ( and this case was no exception ) routinely contain a 'we can do WHATEVER the fuck we feel like, incl. throw you out by the ears' clause.
asciilifeform: and 'arbitration clause'.
mircea_popescu: does yours ?
asciilifeform: 'dun like it -- dun use'
asciilifeform: sure did.
mircea_popescu: arbitration is not necessarily bad.
mircea_popescu: anmyway, on the strength of what you presented you got a few k's worth of go away money there.
mircea_popescu: perhaps not worth picking up, your call.
BingoBoingo: Anyways arbitration process is rarely an automatic "fuck you", have to pursue it
mircea_popescu: there's no automatic fuck yous.
phf: mircea_popescu: i actually think we had a thread. activity is either happening, and thus further cultivated (i.e. doers encouraged, talkers are shed, whatever the method), or else there's nothing happening at all. in a sense that you can't draw your pistol faster than your draw speed, so there's nothing really to worry about. i ~suspect~ that there's just no effective culling happening
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> there's no automatic fuck yous. << Penis in butt?
BingoBoingo: Pantsuit party badge?
mircea_popescu: gotta purse it!

asciilifeform: 8-16 : 16:04 < kanzure> people are extremely bad at politics. it's off-topic. banhammerworthy.
asciilifeform: 16:04 < cluckj> technology is politics made concrete *flees*
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i saw something similar re "philosophy". so let's ask again, you know, "Why is the FBI not focused on the soup"
mircea_popescu: anyway. people are way the fuck worse at science than they are at politics ; and women ESPECIALLY so. but the general population sucking is not a reason to ignore the field.
mircea_popescu: heck, people are terrifyingly bad at fucking, also.
kanzure: it's reason to shut them up

asciilifeform: kanzure: we had the thread here.
asciilifeform: kanzure: but you did not condemn the idiocy, in linked text. so i gotta wonder.
phf: the wisdom of this joke is lost on me. though past few days the joke that's on my mind the most is, the one about shtirlitz: borman i shtirlitz pyut vmeste. borman govorit, "shtirlitz, a ved vi yevrey!" "Net!" govorit shtirlitz "Ya russkii!!!"

asciilifeform: 8-7 : 05:59 < fenn> i'm still unsure whether diybio is real
asciilifeform: 06:00 < fenn> it would be great if it were
asciilifeform also thinks 'would be great if it were'
mircea_popescu: hey, i'd be absolutely exstatic if the wetware computing progressed along while we're busy with the hardware ones.

mircea_popescu: so far the danger doesn't seem too great though.
asciilifeform: ^ oblig kreinin
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i was speaking metaphorically! you know, whatever bio-stuff.
asciilifeform: aite. ( there's a still-appreciable population of folx who actually go in for 'wet computer' nonsense. )
asciilifeform: in re 'amateur bio', in 1990s asciilifeform's brother worked with a d00d who spent his entire pay on surplus dna synths, various iron, liked to remark 'real programmers program lifeforms'. sum of this -- afaik -- was 0.
mircea_popescu: certainly. but no, sometyhing, anything. "in the past nine years while the republic choked the remnants of http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-10#1696459 we at the soviet biolabs have a) deployed ten thousand chips in the back yard resulting in three different bactins ; and have this microscope that spit out 10k gifs.

mircea_popescu: something like that would already be great.

asciilifeform: and do not self-reproduce.
asciilifeform: 'junkyard wars' is a valid approach to technology in a decaying world, but has obvious limits.
mircea_popescu: not a matter of reproduce. a matter of produce in the first place!
asciilifeform: can 'produce' almost anything by... being at the right surplus auction.
asciilifeform: the puzzler is how to produce it again.
asciilifeform: ( or repair. )
mircea_popescu: phuctor spits out a few broken keys each day. this accretes, because it's relatively cheaper to do it over time. good luck to anyone trying to replicate it TODAY.
mircea_popescu: let them have a microscope that produces something each day.
asciilifeform: whoever walked off with dulap-I can prolly replicate..
mircea_popescu: also over time.
mircea_popescu: this is the important point here, be a fucking capitalist already, let time work for you. drop this nonsensical "oh, we can waste resources, inflation wiull make up for it anyway" nonsense.

mircea_popescu: you don't ?
kanzure: are you one of those mouthbreathing micro managers
mircea_popescu: no ; but so far the story here seems to be that the crowning achievement of a decade's effort is one item that happened a coupla weeks ago and you don't care about.
mircea_popescu: this is a pretty weak story.
kanzure: what gets to qualify as a corn achievement anyway?
mircea_popescu: whatever you want.
kanzure: hmm.
mircea_popescu: this is how people evaluate you, neh ? "what did you do ?". how else ?
kanzure: wpm?
mircea_popescu: i'm sorry ?
kanzure: words per minute. it's funny because i'm the fastest.
mircea_popescu: i thought the alt-tmsr you're trying to build was being discussed rather than your typing speed.
asciilifeform: what is the flex cable doing in the electroporator ??
kanzure: all questions to ##hplusroadmap thanks bye
asciilifeform: and why is the design for item that simply charges a cap to known coloumb charge, and zaps a millilitre tube, moar voluminous than, e.g., that of FUCKGOATS..
asciilifeform: why is 'micropython' needed in the micro
kanzure: eh it also has some reprogrammable features for different waveform zapmagic
asciilifeform: and for that matter..
asciilifeform: why a micro at all
asciilifeform: i had an analogue unit at nih, worked fine
asciilifeform: why gild the lily?
kanzure: gild the whatnow?
asciilifeform: не культурный.
mircea_popescu: !~tr ru to en не культурный
jhvh1: mircea_popescu: Error: "tr" is not a valid command.
mircea_popescu: !~translate ru to en не культурный
jhvh1: mircea_popescu: Non-cultural
mircea_popescu: kanzure "to gild the lilly", to attempt an expensive artisanal process to improve an item which is naturally unsurpassable.
mircea_popescu: sort-of like designer babies, come to think of it.
asciilifeform: from the groups link ( 2016!! ) : 'OK, so will you help me promote it with twitter, instagram, snap chat videos when the time comes?'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: non cultured
mircea_popescu: i've yet to meet a technical mind that understood promotion. (worship is not understanding)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no i know, i just thought it'll payoff in lulz. it did.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform come to think about it, i'm not so sure it's a lilly. different zap properties may prove interesting.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-29#1704960 << this is true, and yes pretty shocking.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-29 15:54 asciilifeform: ~all large industrial cutting laser -- tube, still.
mircea_popescu: but yes, the underwater cities not here yet either!
kanzure: how did you get from submarine to city?
mircea_popescu: no relation.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-29 15:56 kanzure: ugh i hope not. that would be the stupidest reason.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-29#1704966 << fwif not my reading of the situation.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-29 15:57 asciilifeform: how about find the reason, kanzure . sell some diodes. sell something useful. elsewise it looks very strange, you come here for no apparent reason than to insult, 'y'all idjits, noise, yer products, all fake, mp is powerless dolt just like me and my shilliconvalley catamites' etc
mircea_popescu: dude trying to figure out ; being male the strategy doth involve a little twisting of items around. no big deal, the items can take it.
kanzure: i must have missed that one from alf
trinque: it's the sideways californian variant of the twisting that grates
trinque: incidentally it occurred to me today that the accent in austin is shifting due to the years-long cali colonization
mircea_popescu: i can see that.
mircea_popescu: then again, the space of possibilities is vast. and we're pretty divergent.
trinque: sure
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-29#1704969 << this is actually an interesting q. why are you in there kanzure ? the unexamined impression that "talent" or somesuch ?
a111: Logged on 2017-08-29 15:58 asciilifeform: if -- as i understand -- you're a money man, kanzure , what the hell are you still doing in the heart of the shitreich ?
kanzure: uh holding on to some vague amount of optimism that you're just full of shit about goallessness
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-29#1704978 << i suspect you misunderstood something. which line was this ?
a111: Logged on 2017-08-29 16:02 kanzure: it's literally the answer i was given
kanzure: i thought i quoted it later. keep reading.
mircea_popescu: why btw ?> what'd my being fulla shit re goallessness do ?
kanzure: i don't know why you are surprised or confused about any of this. you don't do this kind of butt sniffing? it's what dogs do.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-29 16:16 kanzure: infinite floor space is located right next to my mobious strip
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-29#1705038 <<< well obviously, that's the fucking point... i manage more of what people usualoly call results through NOT having goals than they ever do through having them.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-29 16:26 trinque: "goal" is being used as a placeholder for the macro-expanded version which lines up the causes
mircea_popescu: this is supposed to be noticed by the more mentally active amongst them.
mircea_popescu: at least once the butthurt over having wasted a decade washes away.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-29#1705019 << this is just bad translation ; i can readily prove this by pointing out that if nato changed meaning so would your "goal". you're just pursuing some causes is all.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-29 16:23 asciilifeform: kanzure: mp insists that he 'has no goals', but i've got a few. one of them, is a 100% nato-free workstation comp.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-29#1705053 << btw, cheap and obvious error correction : do once then rotate 90 degrees do again. then reconcile. is this used irl ?
a111: Logged on 2017-08-29 16:32 asciilifeform: understand what even 0.00001% ocr error rate means in re ic layout ?
BingoBoingo: Bio hacking horror story, with butch arms https://archive.is/2e3go
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-29#1705091 << pretty much everyone here is fluent in multiple languages. and, just like not being monetarily poor, not being linguistically poor is an imperative for the civilised man. so no, it's not acceptable to not speak languages anymore than it's acceptable to eat frozen dinners.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-29 17:03 kanzure: illiteracy does not seem to be a serious concern around here
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-29#1705103 << that convo doesn't support your interpretation.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-29 18:12 kanzure: BingoBoingo: re: random, http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-28#1704384
kanzure: illiteracy was regarding my inability to read and write
kanzure: typing quickly is comparatively a lesser concern
mircea_popescu: why are you monolingual anyway
mircea_popescu is hoping he's not about to hear "because nobody told me before it's unseemly"
kanzure: i pretend to read many languages, does that count?
mircea_popescu: no, pretense does not count.
kanzure: then i'll claim crappy peers
mircea_popescu: that's unfortunate.
BingoBoingo: kanzure: So what's the quick spiel on how to use the other channel to turn into an augmented superman. Preferably by next week.
kanzure: that's a rather fast timeline
kanzure: i suggest using it to source anabolic steroids
kanzure: but your timeline is still unreasonably short
mircea_popescu: lol bb in roid rage. that should be some lulz.
kanzure: a lot of the roid rage fearmongering is just general anti-anger wishful thinking
BingoBoingo: kanzure: So what really is the selling point of hplus if it can't beat Trenbolone?
mircea_popescu: people gotta have a home...
BingoBoingo: Still, if gene therapy is going to be a thing it has to start beating incumbents.
kanzure: have you guys laughed at the bioviva stuff yet?
BingoBoingo: This is why Tesla is a golf cart maker
kanzure: she wanted like $80M from me "but not for treatments"
kanzure: (i mean her term sheet was garbage)
BingoBoingo: Car needs to have range, and not take an eternity to refuel.
BingoBoingo: Similarly what does modafinil and other non-amphetamine nootropics have going for them?
kanzure: my definition of a viable nootropic is one that helps enough to make a better nootropic. so basically they are all garbage.
BingoBoingo: Anyway why focus on longevity? Why not focus on solutions like cocaine that allow for more living per year?
kanzure: trenbolone is longevity now?
kanzure: and do you mean cocaine resistance? why would you inflict that on someone?
BingoBoingo: No! I mean cocaine and trenbolone are drugs that allow people to experience more living in a year.
BingoBoingo: As opposed to living longer.
BingoBoingo: Because who needs to be 90 anyways? We already had Seneca
kanzure: ah you want hedonistic imperative https://www.hedweb.com/
BingoBoingo: Nah, living is distinct from hedonism
a111: Logged on 2017-07-18 05:35 BingoBoingo predicts trend of pantsuit boy CEO's getting into this sort of artificial masculinity and calling it "biohacking"
BingoBoingo: Conservation follows from there
kanzure: happened a looong time ago. ever since "bullet proof coffee" and even before that. really awful history.
kanzure: "Anyways, it doesn't actually do magic swole imparting without at least some exercise" not according to some studies. i mean it depends on how magic you're looking for.
BingoBoingo: Well, gotta exercise off the rage?
kanzure: what? surely not.
