decimation "Draft resistance is at an all-time high: a mere 6 percent of those called up have reported voluntarily. This has forced the Kiev authorities to go knocking on doors – where they are met either with a mass of angry villagers, who refuse to let them take anyone, or else ghost towns where virtually everyone has fled. In the Transcarpathia region of western Ukraine, entire villages have been emptied, the inhabitants fleeing to Russia [00:40]
decimation to wait out the war – or the fall of the Kiev regime, whichever comes first. " [00:40]
decimation lol, apparently the ukranians are fleeing the russian invaders by fleeing to ... russia [00:40]
decimation " In a Facebook post that was quickly deleted, Defense Minister Stepan Poltorak wrote: “According to unofficial sources, hostels and motels in border regions of neighboring Romania are completely filled with draft dodgers.” P" [00:41]
decimation wonder how many lei it takes to get the local romaninan police to 'overlook' your immigration [00:42]
asciilifeform per orlov's analysis, kiev is summoning draftees not to fight and win, but to 1) create 'humanitarian' wank in the hope of usg assistance (georgia gambit) 2) forcibly burn bridges for the conscripted men (the idea being, they've fired on the east and 'must' fight to the death) [00:42]
decimation the local villagers, not being entirely stupid, want neither to die as nato puppet nor at the hands of ru army [00:43]

mircea_popescu Naphex yes, it's what one of these things is, "con your family and friends". [08:42]
mircea_popescu "they won't give you money directly ? that's fine, trick them into giving it to us! " [08:42]
Naphex yeah but they just send it upwards [08:42]
Naphex which is even more retard it [08:42]
mircea_popescu as average iq keeps dropping and average intelligence drops with the square of the iq, and as complexity increases like a fucking cube of time or something, there's bound to be more and more of these. [08:43]
mircea_popescu when i was 18, the average 18 yo could support himself. [08:44]
mircea_popescu now im 35 and the average 35 yo CAN NOT support himself. [08:44]
mircea_popescu kinda why defranchising of most of the population / having money and resources controlled by a tiny minority / having most people live in ever larger harems, as ever more abject slaves of whoever's brain still works is unavoiable. [08:45]
mircea_popescu this is the case for it : people of average intelligence are not actually smart enough to survive. [08:46]
mircea_popescu and you can't you know, "make everything illegal so idiots have a chance". it will be tried, obviously, but with no expectation of working to any degree. [08:47]
chetty Have people actually gotten dumber or has the world just gotten more complex? [08:47]
mircea_popescu people have factually gotten dumber. AND the world has got more complex. [08:47]
mircea_popescu something like smart = Cx / t^2 while complexity = Cy + a t ^ 3 [08:48]
mircea_popescu clearly smart/complexity -> inf. [08:48]
mircea_popescu -> 0 * [08:49]
mircea_popescu (the reason one can be ^ -2 while the other is at ^ 3 is the hugeness of population : you only need one guy to push complexity up. so in this sense, lower population is in fact insurance against decreasing average life quality) [08:50]
chetty well the time between your 18 and 35 is not enough for actual species change, so its environmental ? [08:50]
mircea_popescu but megatrends may well be observable in a short interval even if they are not in fact contained in that interval. [08:51]
punkman re: 10m people, what kind of world can you run on that considering current complexity? [08:51]
mircea_popescu if some drunk driver loses control over vehicle at t=0, goes over embankment at t = 1.8s and explodes at t = 3.5s, [08:52]
mircea_popescu it will be BECAUSE he lost control, but the losing of control would have happened long before [08:52]
mircea_popescu punkman depends how you select them. if well selected, something pretty cool i imagine. like, a world in which nobody is going to spam. [08:52]

punkman mircea_popescu: downsizing would of course remove large swaths of complexity/scarcity, but I was thinking if "global village", how many people do we need so I can have computer and underwater fiber network, 10m doesn't sound like enough [09:06]

mircea_popescu you don't seriously imagine that "people" out and about are in fact efficient ? [09:06]
punkman doesn't take much to feed them [09:07]
mircea_popescu currently you have machinery that can cut up, melt and re-set the asphalt. much like a sort of "3d printer for roads", really. [09:07]
mircea_popescu the only reason it's not automated ? roads aren't straight. and that is because ? [09:08]
mircea_popescu take out 99.85% of the population, suddenly roads can be straight np. [09:08]

punkman friend wanted to buy one of those, but local council wasn't gonna fire 12 man-crew [09:09]
mircea_popescu exactly. [09:09]
mircea_popescu no more need for make work jobs ? robots. [09:09]
mircea_popescu i seriouslydon't see why anyone would be laying optic fibre by hand. [09:09]
mircea_popescu and we actually have the technoogy to make the robots work together and automatically [09:10]
CoraCrisT becouse as a cable company, we pledge to offer jobs ;)) [09:10]
mircea_popescu much like that vacuum cleanner manages to keep the house clean [09:10]
mircea_popescu what's it called. the little derpy robot guy [09:10]
punkman hard to replace human repairman with robot currently [09:10]
mircea_popescu only because so dense. [09:11]
CoraCrisT hmm.. i would disagree [09:11]
mircea_popescu once space no longer such a constraint, very easy to do. [09:11]
CoraCrisT robots are pretty capable of diagnosis and automated repairs [09:11]
punkman because human can do things robot can't, even if it has a brain to remote-control it [09:11]
mircea_popescu there's no doubt in my mind that the "every fuckhead's sacred, god needs every one" current mantra is headed the same way monty python saw catholicism go. [09:11]
CoraCrisT also robots can do things humans can`t [09:11]
mircea_popescu punkman yes, but those things don't have to matter. [09:12]
CoraCrisT imagine a waste disposal team made of robots , in chemical situations, etc :) [09:12]
mircea_popescu this is like saying "artisan can do things cnc mill can not" [09:12]
CoraCrisT fukushima robo cleaners [09:12]
mircea_popescu very true. however, you don't HAVE to fight a war to suit the artisan. [09:12]
chetty actually no need to straighten the roads, just do away with them [09:12]
mircea_popescu you can fight the war so as to suit the cnc mill [09:12]
mircea_popescu which is fundamentally the point of ww2. [09:12]
mircea_popescu chetty they won't be roads i imagine, more like hovercraft pads. [09:13]
mircea_popescu doesn't take much to feed them << this is true. cigarettes also don't take much to buy. [09:16]
mircea_popescu dealing with the after effects of having bought them, however, different story. [09:16]

asciilifeform '...so nodes running an older protocol version will be skipped.' << phoundation's answer to us, yes. anyone contemplating kelvin versioning again ? why should enemy have this much of an easy time with rejecting our nodes? [16:20]
mircea_popescu "we fixed your car and your wife, overal the parts count has conserved" [16:20]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform dude, reacting to idiots is an inept policy. you will end up with egg on your face. [16:21]
mircea_popescu the correct thing to do is to ignore stupid not to code up to stupid. [16:21]
mircea_popescu the latter always leaves YOU with stupid in your code. [16:21]
asciilifeform in general i agree re: 'wrestling with the pig', but i'm at a loss re: how we aren't simply wearing bull's eyes for no particular reason [16:22]
mircea_popescu but if it's a serious point of concern, either move the version string in the config file [16:22]
mircea_popescu or i guess i'll ask danielpbarron to include instructions on how to arbitrarily set it. [16:22]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform the reason is that the nude woman is perfectly safe in the manly company of the impotent. [16:23]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: it is very easy to set. but i wanted to see logic. [16:23]
mircea_popescu fuck em. best logic ever. [16:23]
mircea_popescu oh lulzy, so they're going to skip safe nodes from whatever harebrained changetip scheme they came up with next ? [16:24]
mircea_popescu help me rwanda. [16:24]
mircea_popescu notice who is driving this boat : i want to improve incentive structure for nodes ? they execute. [16:25]
mircea_popescu why exactly is this bad and why exactly should this be fixed ? [16:25]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: which this ? [16:25]
mircea_popescu let idiots FINALLY pay nodes to node, after five years wasted power rangering, because mp said so. win-win. [16:25]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: ah that. ^ they'll be paying (chump change, apparently) for satanic nodes. [16:26]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform isn't the entire discussion about how someone (who ?) is going to (citation needed) pay some loose change to everyone that runs a node ? [16:26]
mircea_popescu so let them do something useful for once in their lifetime, it's not a bad thing. [16:26]
asciilifeform phoundation. [16:27]
mircea_popescu yaya, fake foudation doesn't actually have what to pay gavin with for the rest of this year. had they stayed in the us they'd have been open to some pretty lulzy litigation. [16:28]
asciilifeform if actually happens, even - it's chump bait. 0.8.6 nodes that will be 'seamlessly upgrades' to gavincoin (how? easy - will lose most history, faux verification from that point on, etc.) [16:28]
mircea_popescu and as far as i hear you can't really sell A series as a non profit. [16:28]
asciilifeform nsa can always donationwash another or ten. [16:29]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform that's exactly my point. let them spend their resources paying nodes to node, it's useful. they are incentivized to maximize numbers, which means they will be paying nodes that are conformant to us. [16:29]
nubbins` seems easy enough to write a patch that changes version string [16:29]
mircea_popescu becayuse while someone may take 1 buck a day to noide, as nubbins` says, they won't fuck up a node for chump change. [16:29]
mircea_popescu an' so... [16:29]
nubbins` would be pretty lelly to publicly fire up a few k's of .foundation nodes on EC2 and start claiming dat money [16:30]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform i already bought a bunch of the pogo guys [16:30]
asciilifeform nubbins`: yes, easy. question was about the logic. [16:30]
mircea_popescu nubbins` it's a stupid idea anyway, how do you verify nodeness ? [16:30]
mircea_popescu if it could be done it'd have been in the fucking protocol. [16:30]
nubbins` well, y'know the next step [16:31]
mircea_popescu if they manage to do it well, all the better, goes into actual fork. [16:31]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: congrats on scoring the pogos! [16:31]
nubbins` web dev equivalent: "don't target the browser, target the features" [16:31]
nubbins` make a >1MB block and pay nodes that relay it [16:31]
mircea_popescu yeah, sure, sure. [16:32]
mircea_popescu anbd then discover you actually fucked up the code [16:32]
mircea_popescu LIKE EVERY SINGLE PREVIOUS TIME [16:32]
nubbins` didn't stop em before [16:32]
nubbins` anyway, mark my words [16:32]
nubbins` if they're shelling out cash, they're not doing it for a user-settable agent string [16:32]
mircea_popescu yeah, because gavin really has a coupla k bitcoins laying around to "repay" the miners that bit a steel girder by trusting him. [16:33]

ben_vulpes such unexamined assumptions. [18:08]
beetcoin maybe those aren't the best words [18:08]
beetcoin I have read some of the logs, but it is rather a lot to read [18:08]
asciilifeform i was specifically thinking about the out-of-order crapolade. [18:09]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform problem is that if you penalize nodes for misbehaving thus, you'll just in practice randomly cut them off. as thery all do. [18:09]
ben_vulpes beetcoin: one can either read the forums, or the log. not both. [18:09]
ben_vulpes reddit, in this case, counts as a forum. [18:09]

mircea_popescu that's the principal point here. it's not a "technology". it's not an invention. bitcoin is a discovery. [18:14]

mircea_popescu it was always there, and it'll hit you over the head until you die if you cross it. [18:15]
mircea_popescu for ANY value of you. [18:15]

mircea_popescu notrly. [18:16]
beetcoin fundamentally, it hasn't [18:16]
beetcoin but a number of forks have occurred [18:17]
mircea_popescu you might need to go do some reading. [18:17]
mircea_popescu if you mean the unintentional power ranger fuckup of 2013, that fork was killed. [18:17]
danielpbarron one could make the argument that bitcoin wasn't really discovered until you could use it on MPEx, and since then it hasn't changed [18:18]
mircea_popescu we are still on the OLD chain, we didn't move to the new one that emerged then. [18:18]

danielpbarron ohh.. [20:20]
danielpbarron right :/ [20:21]
asciilifeform danielpbarron: 128M of eeprom are more than enough to store whatever you want, but these things eat up ram footprint (both by themselves and when read-cached) [20:21]
danielpbarron is there a way to modify the linux that comes with the pogo? [20:21]
danielpbarron i have its source [20:22]
asciilifeform danielpbarron: but try to understand a more fundamental principle here. eventually this needs to turn into a system with -no- extraneous parts. as in, i take a stick and point to a byte, and you are able to tell me why it is there. [20:22]
asciilifeform danielpbarron: i have not been able to build the linux that comes with pogo. the included patches do not apply cleanly. [20:22]
danielpbarron i haven't tried it yet [20:22]
asciilifeform danielpbarron: in essence, like most supposedly 'gpl compliant' commercial products, the compliance is a total and unabashed crock of shit. [20:23]
danielpbarron so it's not just me; this stuff is just very frustrating [20:24]
asciilifeform danielpbarron: linux 2.6.x kernel is a mega-turd. and while there remains a single line therein which does not execute during the normal operation of bitcoind-on-pogo, i will maintain that this is true. [20:24]

danielpbarron i so wish that programmer castle school existed [20:25]

asciilifeform and before anyone asks, no, you can't automagically strip the crapolade away with a profiler. certain routines are quite legitimately there but are traversed infrequently (say, only when shutting down, or if disk is full, or a cable is unplugged, nuclear war has been declared, and so on.) [20:30]
asciilifeform danielpbarron: not so simple (doable, though) - it has to run from rom. you almost certainly must use 'buildroot.' i have a 'buildroot' config that grinds out a kernel and a userland, but said kernel fails to boot and produces no output to /dev/ttyS0 - despite being configured to do so. evidently the support for Marvell chips in the mainline 3.xx kernels is bogus.
