mircea_popescu: the whole "don't fuck up or i'll beat you" mechanism exists ~specifically because~ the whole array doesnt fit in my (or anyone's) head. [00:20]
mircea_popescu: the saving grace is that they ~very much do not want to~ be bad. machines don't care. [00:21]
mircea_popescu: but this phenomenon exists whereby girl ends up in trouble for reasons which, upon later examination, turn out to not actually exist. that the whole thing was actually a misunderstanding is proof positive the entire system fits in no one's head : not in mine, who misunderstood what was going on, not in the girls herself, who, confronted with the misunderstanding, failed to identify what to say to dispel it. [00:23]
mircea_popescu: it's true that the failure is never (at least to date) permanent, but that dun seem dispositive. [00:24]
mircea_popescu: (the foregoing is also, if you're following the score, the principal argument of liberals (who, in practice, often end up very radical right wing, individual rights people) against the death penalty : since it is at least in principle possible that the whole thing was a misunderstanding, it is infinitely better to put the guilty in stocks in the basement than to throw them from a moving airplane. the later's reviewable.)

mircea_popescu: i bet you that, to use your numbers, the 6"5 cohort in your study composes a lesser section of "the ceos" than the 6"4 cohort. [00:56]
mircea_popescu: you can verify this sort of anti-property directly every time someone publishes one of these bs studies and actually forgets to scrub all the data. [00:57]

mircea_popescu: "Unlike TCP, the service mesh has a significant goal beyond “just make it work”: it provides a uniform, application-wide point for introducing visibility and control into the application runtime." [03:06]
mircea_popescu: dude, what the fuck is with the bullshit. "we made a tcp on top of tcp because we're bored at "work" and hurr." [03:06]
mircea_popescu: "The explicit goal of the service mesh is to move service communication out of the realm of the invisible, implied infrastructure, and into the role of a first-class member of the ecosystem—where it can be monitored, managed and controlled." << alternatively, you could read a fucking book. motherfucking chukas. [03:07]
mircea_popescu: o wait, and the whole thing is actually copy for this "linkerd" piece of shit "buoyant.io" is hawking. [03:09]
mircea_popescu: fucking hell. [03:09]
mircea_popescu: and of course no way to leave a comment on the "announcing linkerd 1.0" follow-up piece. but i could "share this post on hacker news". [03:11]
mircea_popescu: too bad i wanted to leave them a "drop fucking dead, bunch of illiterate monkeys" [03:11]
mircea_popescu: "Instead, the effort that could have been spent on securing the system was spent on public relations. The firm claimed that the attack could work only on our own copy of Fortress (in fact, it could work with any copy at all because it deduced the key from the data on the disk)." << from kochanski's (ancient) piece on comedy of commercial encryption software. the shamans still falling into same pits today, of course, as seen [03:18]

mircea_popescu: of course, any fiat paper must include its "hail party" lines, and so "In retrospect this time marks a turning point in the history of cryptology. No longer would products compete on claimed "better algorithms" than their opposition. It became in everyone's interest to focus on published algorithms whose design principles were well known. Cryptographic products found other areas to compete in (speed, features, ease of use) an [03:20]
mircea_popescu: d because cryptology is now a respectable academic discipline, the benefits of publishing a successful attack on a cryptosystem far outweigh the dubious benefits of keeping that attack secret and using it for some kind of fraud. In this area, at least, cryptology has grown up." [03:20]
mircea_popescu: to be perfectly clear : the ONLY use of a successful attack on a cryptosystem is to attack real world deployments. publishing is particularly a worthless (and stupid) endeavour, because it gives a lazy and entitled "public" something for free that it shouldn't have even for pay. [03:21]
mircea_popescu: no, break the thing, steal the shit, blame nsa. the gutting of the socialist empire must proceed apace. [03:22]
mircea_popescu: there is no "cryptology" field. nothing grew up. [03:22]
mircea_popescu: and findally, yes "products" no "longer" compete on algos but on puffery. this is not because of anything than laziness, intellectual and otherwise, on the part of everyone involved. similarily, "psychic healers" also do not compete on healing but on distance, having the phonelines open 24/7 and other points of ~convenience~.

mircea_popescu: aaand in not-really-news : avalance in retezat (romanian mountain) killed a few kids that were european and world record holders in mountain-related items. ro "our democracy" media railing about how the trainer (also father of one of the victims) "forced his two daughters to break record after record while training in EXTREME CONDITIONS!!!1 ONLY TO SATISFY HIS OWN EGOTISM!!1111" [08:43]

mircea_popescu: they were probably eaten by successful white men!!1 [08:45]
diana_coman: from what I read it was more that they were idiots on the day ignoring the weather forecast and making a poor decision on the spot re path to take [08:55]
mircea_popescu: ex post facto-isms. where were these experts prior to the event ? [08:56]

diana_coman: there was another group who were pro and told them even to take a different route [08:57]

mircea_popescu: diana_coman yeah they are pretty weird with that huh. /me reads [09:20]
mircea_popescu: diana_coman apparently the greenhorns stand accused of having actually ~caused~ the avalanche that claimed the experts ? [09:22]
diana_coman: uhm, do you mean the mountain guide was the greenhorn? [09:25]
mircea_popescu: yes, i do. [09:25]
diana_coman: then that's what I read there too that they were accused of that, yes I don't know about the accusation as such though [09:26]
mircea_popescu: things like "there's no gsm signal therefore survival chances are minimal" tend to give him away. seeing how you know, gsm, our democracy and his assorted ineptitudes were invented slightly after retezat stood there. [09:26]
mircea_popescu: diana_coman let's consider this : late april, you can go lower or higher. if you're competent you take your pick, if you are not competent and so can't follow the competent YOU DO NOT GO. you don't fucking go anyway, relying on your group numbers, and then of fucking course if you bigfoot about HIGHER than the other guys end up... causing an avalanche. [09:27]
diana_coman: thing is: you are competent, right? and meet the big group who TELL you they are going on the higher route so then? [09:28]
mircea_popescu: tell them to get the fuck off your mountain. [09:28]
mircea_popescu: in a sane society, at least. [09:28]
diana_coman: eh, sure they didn't tell them that, nor did they take into account the reality basically [09:29]
diana_coman: so dunno how competent is that [09:29]
mircea_popescu: because no, random dork who's read all the tedx and reddit on the topic and intends to follow it by the letter is not thereby qualified to have an opinion on things and matters. which is what this catalin ioan berenghi schmuck strikes me as. [09:29]
diana_coman: oh, there are here those dorks but they SHOULD NOT be here therefore we just..ignore them [09:29]
diana_coman: is that competence now. [09:29]
diana_coman: ? [09:29]
mircea_popescu: diana_coman yes, and this is exactly my greater point here : competent people don't understand how to defend themselves from the tedx crowd, and don't. they're, basically speaking, dodo birds. [09:29]
mircea_popescu: and if society in general doesn't understand this either, in short order you'll find yourself wondering where the dodo bird went. [09:30]
diana_coman: I fail to see how is that competence, really [09:30]
mircea_popescu: diana_coman it's technical competence, not politicval competence. [09:30]
mircea_popescu: that's the problem, in nucet. [09:30]
diana_coman: oh, they were competent STRICTLY at climbing a mountain provided the mountain is in the lab in the void [09:30]
mircea_popescu: yup. [09:30]
diana_coman: bullshit [09:30]
mircea_popescu: you know, like jwz. or like teh people on #bitcoin-assets pre dragon call. [09:30]

Framedragger: ah, kk. i didn't spot the phuctor downloader back then [09:31]
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, eh, good try, you know? I'm not ignoring anything I'm simply saying that no, someone is NOT competent if they die when they try to do their thing in the real world [09:32]
mircea_popescu: diana_coman in principle, sure. so far as the matter stands, one man trained a bunch of record holders and the other man went around retezat in large groups. how the fuck even dare he take 51 persons over there ? [09:32]
mircea_popescu: you ever seen a group that large who wasn't 105% douchebag by mass ? [09:32]

mircea_popescu: well me either, but what can you do. [09:33]

BingoBoingo: In other news pro-Falun Gong paid advertorials are popping up in alt-right venues [15:21]
mircea_popescu: what is that thing again ? [15:22]
BingoBoingo: The chinese verision of "back to Budda" conservative religious movement. Kinda somewhere between the Southern Baptists and the Mormons, but my eastern religions map is not adequately calibrated anologize it precisely [15:25]
mircea_popescu: oh the verboten right right i recall. [15:26]
BingoBoingo: Calls for elmination of the pervert's Communist Party of China and does outreach through dance troupes and pretty girls [15:28]
mircea_popescu: aha. [15:29]
BingoBoingo: Also the Dalai Lama is the historical anti-Christ [15:29]
BingoBoingo: So maybe a touch of Jehova's Witness in their theologisty [15:29]
BingoBoingo: And their tagline to the alt-right is China could be "Great Again"(TM)(R) if only we dumped the commies and opium [15:31]
mircea_popescu: except china has never in its history been this great. [15:32]
BingoBoingo: but it could be AGAIN!!! [15:33]
mircea_popescu: oic. [15:34]

asciilifeform: we have'em here, in their cult outfits, dourly waving photos of cn executioners, supposedly disassembling similar derps for organs [15:50]
mircea_popescu: what'd you have them do ? [15:51]
asciilifeform: die? [15:51]
BingoBoingo: The only thing that matters is "Are their girls pretty and well behaved?" [15:51]
asciilifeform: 'mr bond, we expect you to die!' (tm)(r) [15:51]
mircea_popescu: lolk [15:52]
asciilifeform: entirely, afaik, typical 'colour revolutionaries' . [15:53]
mats: the 'bodies exhibit' is, even now, plagued by persistent rumors like that [15:56]
mats: 'they use corpses of executed chinese political prisoners!' [15:57]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform hey, they want to be part of the great beyond / "our" democracy! [15:57]
mircea_popescu: death cults are death cults, what. [15:57]
asciilifeform: not only 'be', but to drag the whole 1.5bn-strong middlekingdom, along for the ride. [15:59]
mircea_popescu: hey, it'd validate them! [15:59]
BingoBoingo: Death cults sell. Step 1 Death Cult with fambly values, Step 2 Don't actually die so much ??? Profit [16:01]
BingoBoingo: Anyways, Koran sells a death cult too [16:02]
mats: most of the west's exported culture is death cult [16:03]
mats: obsession with zombies, alien attacks, replacement by replicants (Bladerunner, Battlestar Galactica), ... [16:04]
asciilifeform: mats: forget bladerunnner. mcfood is what if not deathcult. [16:04]
Framedragger: i still say 'fuck you cisco' for pitching (and later selling) customised surveillance infrastructure to china by saying that its shit can "combat ‘Falun Gong’ evil religion and other hostiles" (sic) [16:05]
asciilifeform: mcfood, mchouse, mcjob, mclife makes good ol' death look pretty good in contrast. [16:05]
Framedragger: not sure if falun gong really had done much at that point. but cisco wiretapping was used to track 'em down and kill 'em [16:05]
asciilifeform: Framedragger: possibly the one meritorious thing cisco ever did, if true. [16:06]
Framedragger: (https://www.wired.com/images_blogs/threatlevel/files/cisco_presentation.pdf &c, for posterity) [16:06]

Framedragger: saw 'em in seoul, too. "meh", let them be, no? [16:08]
mats: anyone manufacturing comms equipment, anyway [16:09]
mats: cisco's not special in that way, just particularly visible [16:09]
BingoBoingo: Anyways this cult seems to have realized the leftists humanitatians care more for spreading Aids in Africa and would rather cozy up to Trump [16:10]
Framedragger: mats: sure, sure. but it's *particularly* in-your-face when you're pitching and saying "we can track X down so you can er lawfully take care of em" [16:10]
mats: the honesty would be refreshing, but i see no mention of falun gong in that lin [16:13]
mats: k [16:13]
Framedragger: it should be under 'golden shield' section [16:14]
Framedragger: page 57 [16:16]

BingoBoingo: Not really. Not between the pantsuit judges and the realization that Congress is a bunch of welfare queens. [17:14]
mircea_popescu: hey, representatives. [17:15]
BingoBoingo: 2018 primary season will probably brings substantial lulz [17:15]

mircea_popescu: so no more pissing in the best reich ? [19:31]
mircea_popescu: but since we're doing etimologies or what was it, apparently uppity tortilla (who was living independently for incomprehensible reasons) set his apartment on fire, and other than being kicked out is being prosecuted by a bunch of people who claim he owes them money (again). [19:32]
