mircea_popescu asciilifeform you use tghe wifi ? [00:59]
asciilifeform i threw the intel wifi in the trash and installed atheros. [00:59]
asciilifeform but yes, i use it. [00:59]
asciilifeform its a motherfucking laptop. [00:59]
mircea_popescu ah right [01:00]
asciilifeform and i own an ir thermometer. [01:00]
asciilifeform and fucking hate idiots. [01:00]
mircea_popescu maybe i'm thick, but... [01:01]
asciilifeform the original card heats, yes. new - no. [01:03]
mircea_popescu ah [01:03]
asciilifeform plus there is apparently no remnant of doubt that coreboot (aka linuxbios) does not properly handle the variable cpu clock thing, nor the fan controller [01:04]

* joshbuddy has quit (Quit: joshbuddy) [01:09]
phf most of the time i spent setting up linux on macbook pro was tracing and eliminating overheating problems [01:09]
asciilifeform eliminated how ? [01:09]
phf cargoculting /proc and disabling almost everything. on mbp issue is mostly with discrete ATI card [01:11]
asciilifeform 'almost everything' being, e.g., what ? [01:11]
mircea_popescu what's cargoculting ? [01:12]
phf ati card, bus that it sits on, wifi, sd card slot, firewire slot, hdmi, bus that those sit on [01:12]
asciilifeform phf: what is even the point? why not throw whole thing in the trash ? [01:12]
asciilifeform what is the use of the box without these parts ? [01:13]
phf manually forcing cpu to run in save as much battery mode [01:13]
asciilifeform ick [01:13]
asciilifeform go and gentoo on that. [01:13]
asciilifeform what rubbish. [01:13]
phf well, that's why i'm back on mac os x in defeat [01:13]
phf i gave up because integrated intel card and ati card combination required some fancy grub PEEK/POKE combination, and i didn't want to do grub [01:14]
asciilifeform i would have said 'there is a less atrocious machine, the legendary x60' but now i WON'T ... [01:14]
phf oddly enough doing that same PEEK/POKE after the linux framebuffer kicked in would blankscreen the machine. [01:14]
asciilifeform dual gpu boxes will never work, don't even bother. [01:15]
phf i'd probably persevere but it was interfering with my work, only so much you can do with cli emacs, without a proper browser [01:16]
phf mircea_popescu: extreme case of "tom knight and the lisp machine", doing things with no understanding hoping to produce desired effect [01:17]
asciilifeform at some point (not any time soon, i've elementarily no time) i will replace the thermal paste in the x60 with industrial diamond [01:17]
asciilifeform it often helps. [01:17]
asciilifeform but srsly wtf. [01:18]
phf i have a borrowed carbon x1 that i'm hoping to make use of. guy was running ubuntu on it, and clean slackware install at the very least doesn't exhibit particularly aberrant behaviors [01:19]
phf but the whole exercise feels a bit hair shirt [01:20]
asciilifeform i draw the line at 'randomly crashes during compiles' [01:21]
asciilifeform this is not tolerable. [01:22]
phf maybe i can get away with running 10.9 for the next five years at which point b-a will have its own scheme-81 clean room, yeah? [01:22]

asciilifeform (at 50% cpu utilization) [01:24]
phf well, yeah, all those hoops i jumped through, compiling anything non-trivial would kick in fans at 60000 [01:24]

asciilifeform libreboot just sort of runs it at mid-rpm at all times. [01:24]
asciilifeform and hopes for the best. [01:24]
asciilifeform this immediately tells me something about the authors [01:25]
asciilifeform namely, that they do not actually use linux (i.e. gentoo) on their boxes [01:25]
asciilifeform or the idiocy would have become immediately apparent [01:25]
asciilifeform as it dies in the first 20 min. of setup, during the very first compiles [01:25]

* BingoBoingo relishes in that feeing of power that follows one's presence ending a turf war. [02:58]
BingoBoingo the turf, one well lit front yard. The combatants a vocal orange neighborhood cat and a fox [03:00]
BingoBoingo I go out front to see what the fuss is and the cat shoots out of the tree and under a car while the fox shoots off into a the park [03:01]
phf BingoBoingo sets own yard on fire to settle a long running dispute between cat and fox in favor of man [03:03]
BingoBoingo Nah, just smoke a cigarette and pissed on some bushes [03:04]
BingoBoingo They gotta understand that when man can mark territory with their weight in piss it is man's world. [03:06]
phf i'm always reminded of that movie where i guy was living among wolves, every morning he'd drink a lot of coffee and make rounds [03:07]
BingoBoingo Well coffee helps when keeping up with all the rest of nature [03:08]
punkman https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CcWsxw8UMAAI2El.jpg:large [03:23]
assbot ... ( http://bit.ly/1pjL2pr ) [03:23]
phf that evokes images of a decisive cup, rationed coffee as a boost for man's will in harsh conditions. most of the coffee experience i'm surrounded with is not like that at all. office workers on a litre a day, hipsters with artisanal pourovers, three jobs just to keep up crowd on a dunken donuts extra large. not much keeping up with nature [03:24]
mircea_popescu you should see the coffee here. [03:24]
BingoBoingo Wait, you don't drink it all by the pot? [03:25]
mircea_popescu nah, i drink a pot of coffee in like a month [03:26]

* pete_dushenski has quit (Remote host closed the connection) [03:32]
BingoBoingo phf: Because that would be bad for my sobriety [03:33]
phf i thought aa mostly object to other substances only as much as they trigger alcohol abuse. unless you have a history of mixing alcohol and speed, there shouldn't be any crossover [03:35]
BingoBoingo How would I know if I did have a history of that? [03:37]
phf some good parties you go to [03:37]
phf it was mostly a rhetorical question, i just think that once you cross certain line with a substance, perhaps it's worthwhile to try something different. but since coffee guzzling is mostly done from lack of attention, perhaps it's not a good idea [03:39]
BingoBoingo Well, supposedly coffee is good for the liver [03:39]
phf in a correlation/causation world of pop medicine here's ten things that you need to know about new use for an old drug that's all the rage [03:42]
BingoBoingo Well, the mechanics make sense [03:43]

phf so does any other arbitrary chain of biochemical events that some team somewhere decides to investigate. it's the mutual interaction of those events that makes the entire system not amenable to reasoning [03:49]

mircea_popescu kinda so-so. [04:13]
mircea_popescu notrly. more like a logline at best. [04:14]
phf BingoBoingo: oh i wasn't saying it's harmful, i was saying that when coffee stops working, perhaps it's time to take amphetamines, since it's a cleaner and longer productive high. of course with a history of substance abuse of any kind it is perhaps not a good idea (same people who drink coffee by the litre, start eating amphetamines, etc.) [04:14]
phf but i'm going to drop the subject, i'm being tedious and i need to pass out anyway [04:14]
mircea_popescu phf amphetamines are not a good idea in any case. [04:14]

mircea_popescu well wtf, i get the same results from my dog. i don't make the dog a strategist. FOR THIS REASON. [15:01]
mircea_popescu if dog could see future, dog would also be general. [15:01]
asciilifeform actually rms is the most consistently and accurately long-term doom prophet i'm personally aware of. [15:02]
asciilifeform beats the shit out of everyone else. [15:02]
mircea_popescu prophets are not strategists. [15:02]
mircea_popescu they're a sort of singers. [15:02]
asciilifeform ~accurate~ prophet. [15:02]
mircea_popescu ~good~ singers. [15:02]
kakobrekla yeah, his talks have been a carbon copy for a very long time on all the confs. [15:02]
asciilifeform so what's the operative difference ? [15:02]
mircea_popescu between what and what! [15:03]
asciilifeform prophet / strategist [15:03]
asciilifeform is it that the latter tells you what to do ? [15:03]
mircea_popescu listen to prophet, be entertained ; follow strategist, survive. [15:03]
asciilifeform well yes. [15:04]
asciilifeform but i was asking, what they do differently. [15:04]
mircea_popescu because why, anything can be expressed in pascal ? [15:04]
asciilifeform aha! [15:04]
asciilifeform remember, i don't deal in inexpressables. or i'd be hanging at the dirigible club with mircea_popescu, and not here in this ditch [15:05]
asciilifeform i'm stuck with expressable. [15:05]
mircea_popescu you'll have to one day tell me what's the "operative difference" between peach and pear, but not in the sense of "one has a wooden pit". instead, in the sense of "what do the trees do differently" [15:05]
mircea_popescu and i presume "everything" doesn't suit you. [15:05]
asciilifeform i can arrange this but the answer will be a few MB long. [15:06]
asciilifeform but certainly not inexpressable. [15:06]
mircea_popescu don't flatter yourself. you can't arrange this, and the answer would provably be > petabytes long. [15:06]
asciilifeform MB if we get to #include from the genus. [15:06]
mircea_popescu but you UNDERSTAND the meta point, which makes you lie to yourself about your capacities, because you really really want things to be a certain way. [15:06]
asciilifeform otherwise mircea_popescu has it. [15:06]
mircea_popescu so basically this discussion just became 'explain this to me, and if you do i'll just pretend the explanation doesn't exist" [15:07]
asciilifeform actually i have a suitably grim picture of the capacities. [15:07]
asciilifeform having actually been tasked with attempting something quite like the peach/pear before. [15:07]
mircea_popescu aha [15:07]
mircea_popescu note in any case that "operative" in that context specifically seeks "wooden pit" type answers. [15:08]
asciilifeform but mircea_popescu misunderstood, i have no intention of pretending that the inexpressable distinction does not exist. merely stating that i am not equipped to deal in it. [15:08]
mircea_popescu and who is. [15:09]
asciilifeform possibly mircea_popescu ? [15:09]
asciilifeform whose profession it is. [15:09]
mircea_popescu sadly, nope. [15:09]
asciilifeform ( strategist ) [15:09]
mircea_popescu o, it is ? maybe when i'm having a good day. [15:09]
phf goes back to cause/purpose thing [15:10]
mircea_popescu now, granted, in re the trees, while it stands that you can't do it, i suspect you're right in suspecting it CAN be done. [15:10]
mircea_popescu which makes it perhaps a substantially different bojum. [15:11]
asciilifeform i can't personally, with own hands, put a satellite in orbit, either. [15:11]
mircea_popescu right. [15:11]
mircea_popescu but i know people who put satellites in orbit ; i know no one who made the answer to the tree question. [15:11]
mircea_popescu "step towards" is you know... another ledge. [15:12]
asciilifeform the tree question is approx. where rocketry was in 1930. [15:14]
mircea_popescu mebbe. [15:15]
mircea_popescu note that cold fusion has been approx where rocketry was in 1930 for a good century now. [15:15]
asciilifeform mno. [15:16]
asciilifeform it was where transmutation was in 1500. [15:16]
mircea_popescu what's the operative difference ? [15:16]
mircea_popescu they're both where virgin teen is on prom night. is it going to be a good experience/marriage/life ? who knows ? [15:16]
mircea_popescu who even cares ? take it off! [15:16]
asciilifeform the difference between 'needs moar engineering' and charlatanry that can absorb $trillion with not a blip of result ? [15:17]
mircea_popescu note that mom and dad of virgin teen can liberally hold either of these views, interchangeably. [15:17]
asciilifeform also fusion is very much the wrong term. [15:17]
asciilifeform you can go and fuse in your kitchen right now. [15:17]
asciilifeform (see, e.g., farnsworth's device) [15:17]
asciilifeform the boojum is ~ +EV fusion ~. [15:17]
mircea_popescu i think that's what the "cold" part is trying to suggest. [15:17]
mircea_popescu otherwise... all sorts of "more expensive than it's worth" methods are known [15:18]
asciilifeform you can also cold fuse right now. [15:18]
asciilifeform whack palladium deuteride with hammer. [15:18]
mircea_popescu in a different take of "cold". [15:18]
mircea_popescu ie, not high temperature, cold. but the meaning contemplated in the expression is, i suspect, quite, "+ev, ie cold" [15:18]
mircea_popescu as in cold ownage. [15:18]
asciilifeform well there are two schools of fusion crackpottery, the 'hot' (tokamak, but really is just refinement of hbomb codes) and 'cold'. [15:19]
asciilifeform both have delusions of '+ev any day now'. [15:19]
mircea_popescu i like the laser pumping people. [15:19]
mircea_popescu lasers are fun. [15:19]
asciilifeform the 'hot' folks managed to strangle the 'cold' for the usg pig trough fight, yes. [15:19]
asciilifeform the laser thing is really the quest for the 'clean thermonuke' in disguise. [15:20]
asciilifeform (i.e. thermonuke that doesn't require a fissile initiator, ergo no need for refining U) [15:20]
mircea_popescu aha. [15:21]
asciilifeform usg has an interesting relationship with the thing [15:21]
asciilifeform on one hand, it is the last thing a lizard wants to see appear. [15:21]
asciilifeform anywhere. [15:21]
asciilifeform on other hand, nobody can resist asking the question. [15:22]
mircea_popescu "ideally, it would want it not to exist ; but if it must exist, it wants to be the only one to ever have it" [15:22]
asciilifeform aha. [15:22]
mircea_popescu in a very "sf" take of the thing - actually workable, and perhaps miniaturizable laser-initiated compression would put the nuclear issue on about the same terms the war on drugs finds itself. [15:22]
mircea_popescu ie, anyoen can make drugs and you won't be able to detect them and fuck you. [15:23]
asciilifeform aha. [15:23]
mircea_popescu "here's where washington used to be, that crater to the left. oh, you never saw that 100cc of methane gas, did oyu ? awww!" [15:23]
asciilifeform and it won't cost much, either. [15:23]
mircea_popescu shoulda looked for methane instead of 2,3-blablatronium. [15:23]
asciilifeform quite possibly everything else that usg does is preparation for this exam. [15:24]
mircea_popescu unlike the qc thing, i can't even say this is not in the cards. [15:25]
asciilifeform since '53 or whenever ulam realized that you don't actually need the fissile firecracker. [15:25]
mircea_popescu besides. gotta explain all the other lifeless planets out there ~somehow~. [15:25]
asciilifeform i can see hitler and dulles nodding to one another, 'yeah it'll be better to create a planet of castrated zombies' [15:25]
mircea_popescu i don't see that better. [15:26]
asciilifeform ~they~ see it. [15:26]
mircea_popescu as the romanian expression goes, "apai atunci nu-i prea vad in clar" [15:26]
asciilifeform i'll take the lifeless crater, plox. [15:26]
mircea_popescu literally, "thus therefore, i don't see them to clearly", but that "not see clearly" really means, "it won't end up well for them". sort-of like prophet not seeing your future too clearly. [15:27]
mircea_popescu "in clar" also denotes plaintext, ie, immediately accessible. no need to explain and mediate their carcass into being, as it were. [15:27]
asciilifeform yudkowsky, of all people, wrote some story where there was a planet where they learned to make fusion device with ancient greek level tech. and the survivers evolved. into something strange. [15:30]

If, as seems to be the case, it is a rare and costly object as difficult to produce as a battleship, it [15:32]
mircea_popescu fortunately, it is not MERELY the atomic bomb that is rare and costly and as difficult to produce as a battleship. [15:50]
