| Framedragger: | mircea_popescu: ah, that's cool and useful, ty | [07:18] |
| mircea_popescu: | actually, 2nd largest bw eater this month, i also served 12 GB worth of http://trilema.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/lit.txt | [07:19] |
| mircea_popescu: | but that's been #1 pretty much since april. | [07:19] |
| mircea_popescu: | Framedragger it's an iffy thing from my pov, because on one hand you know, you did it i should link it but on the other i dunno how many people'd click and how well you're set-up for it. anyway if you'd like a blog linked or something do say. | [07:20] |
| Framedragger: | mircea_popescu: thanks. in point of fact a blog is now in actual plans, not only oneday-maybewaybe. :) re. capacity to handle, at least the connection is unmetered, and it's just static nginx. but it's not anything big. so this is useful and appreciated. | [07:22] |
| mircea_popescu: | cool deal. | [07:22] |
| * mircea_popescu | checked, about half of that was in the first half hour (thanks god for delayed rss otherwise it'd prolly be within five minutes eh!) so that's like 3MB/s jus' there. | [07:23] |
| shinohai: | "Let's ALL scrap GPG, getting too hard to spy on peeps" https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2016/12/giving_up_on_pg.html | [07:24] |
| mircea_popescu: | Framedragger not so much a matter of the webserver itself, the load on that is minimal for large file transfers but from experience most hosters offer 1Mbps to 1MBps links unless actually specified. and this is outide of any "intelligent" throttling at the router interface etc. | [07:26] |
| mircea_popescu: | shinohai ironically we're also giving up on gpg, for the exactly opposite reason. | [07:26] |
| mircea_popescu: | there's a lesson in this, where being a jwz dun pay. gotta pick sides, loud and clear. | [07:26] |
| shinohai: | I shall make haste to leave these walls the day you recommend using signal+tor | [07:27] |
| mircea_popescu: | the incredible audacity of the usg assets. really, they are STILL pushing tor ? | [07:27] |
| mircea_popescu: | it's about equivalent to mit still pushing ethereum. | [07:27] |
| Framedragger: | mircea_popescu: yeah, good point. well the hosting provider is ~shitty and quality of bw offered is not great (OVH), but it *does* make a more-or-less successful attempt at providing an actual full duplex 100 mbps, which isn't a lot, but still decent to my liking. so at least there's that. | [07:29] |
| Framedragger: | even Framedragger doesn't push tor anymore. *and that's telling you somethin'* :D | [07:29] |
| mircea_popescu: | lol | [07:29] |
| mircea_popescu: | i honestly don't know anyone (who is someone, i don't mean kids with no money, no power and no value dicking about and who isn't actually nsa) is still using the thing. | [07:30] |
| mircea_popescu: | so it is somewhat moot. they might as well advertise microsoft powerclip + yahoo briefcase as a solution, for all the difference it'd make. | [07:31] |
| mircea_popescu: | and god knows both those "corporations" need it badly. | [07:31] |
| mircea_popescu: | Framedragger you actually saw this in action ? ie, served 40ish GB in any given hour or anything like that ? | [07:32] |
| Framedragger: | (i use tor to access things like library genesis while still in airstrip one, but that says more about airstrip one than anything else.) | [07:32] |
| mircea_popescu: | !~google library genesis | [07:32] |

| Framedragger: | mircea_popescu: well, didn't *serve*, but benchmarked myself. i can try again tho, that was long ago | [07:32] |
| mircea_popescu: | ah, same thing. | [07:32] |
| mircea_popescu: | note though that sub-hour benchmarks are meaningless. | [07:33] |
| Framedragger: | (oh oh, and also trying out masscan (the first-stage scanner, i.e. the one which sends TCP SYNs) with maybe 30-100k packets per second stable)) | [07:33] |
| mircea_popescu: | if you do it for say 10 seconds, well doh, they allow it. | [07:33] |
| Framedragger: | yeah sure. | [07:33] |
| * Framedragger | will consider testing it. would be useful knowledge, i.e. OVH *is* cost effective for not-super-important "lower grade hardware ok" deployments | [07:34] |
| mircea_popescu: | which is why like half of malware is hosted there | [07:38] |
| Framedragger: | certainly. (also while on topic, large part of tor relay network. "decentralization!!!") | [07:38] |
| mircea_popescu: | lol. right. | [07:38] |
| mircea_popescu: | this is a fucking issue ffs. if the world worked like FOSS ~pretends it worked~ then we'd have LIKE HALF A DOZEN ssh protocol definitions which'd still interoperate and from hundreds to just one implementations of each of those. by distinct people in distinct teams. | [07:39] |
| mircea_popescu: | irl, there's ssh 2.0 and ssh 2. 0 and ~one implementation, by a known-bad team. | [07:40] |
| mircea_popescu: | what fucking foss. there is no foss. microsoft is the natural structure of ustards and everyone taking after them which is to see in a hurry to see results and in no particular mood to examine the quality thereof. | [07:40] |
| Framedragger: | in unrelated newz, while installing an ubuntu package, | [07:42] |
| Framedragger: | > 173 new root certificates were added to your trust store. | [07:42] |
| Framedragger: | uh. how about, fuck your mother | [07:42] |
| mircea_popescu: | the third most commonly seen ssh protocol is a misspelling of the most common one pushed out by mistake years ago! | [07:42] |
| mircea_popescu: | Framedragger lol but you get free stuff for your store! | [07:43] |
| mircea_popescu: | is your trust store on etsy ? :D | [07:43] |
| Framedragger: | i don't even | [07:43] |
| mircea_popescu: | where is this trust store even, now i'm curious. | [07:43] |
| Framedragger: | i'm actually pissed, which just means that i was too optimistic about ubuntu. *i was installing a simple image editor* | [07:43] |
| Framedragger: | wait i'm checking. there's a chinese root authority there... maybe package name denoted something else... still, who in their right mind?... | [07:44] |
| mircea_popescu: | ftr it's /usr/share/ca-certificates and i got like... 7 | [07:44] |
| Framedragger: | `sudo apt-get install pinta` << is what i did. default ubuntu repos, default ubuntu install fwiw. | [07:45] |
| mircea_popescu: | dude just get gedit. | [07:45] |
| Framedragger: | k@burokas:/usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla$ find . | wc -l | [07:46] |
| Framedragger: | 174 | [07:46] |
| mircea_popescu: | i swear gedit is like the emacs of the art world. once you learn how to use its lisp parts you can never leave. | [07:46] |
| Framedragger: | "i wanted to try something new, and now i have sharks." | [07:46] |
| mircea_popescu: | do yourself a favour learn how to use gimp.scheme you will never look at graphics with the same eyes again. | [07:46] |
| Framedragger: | hm! interesting advice | [07:46] |
| Framedragger: | apparently i'm behind on linux graphics software | [07:47] |
| mircea_popescu: | actually i would propose it's a very fine way if not the best way to learn lisp. | [07:47] |
| Framedragger: | normally i'd just fool around with gimp | [07:47] |
| Framedragger: | aha! | [07:47] |
| * Framedragger | lunch, bbl | [07:47] |
| mircea_popescu: | not only does it mirror how we learned programming as kids (i did circles in a for loop in basic, obtained a nice worm guy!) but it gives an immediacy to lisping absent ANYWHERE else. | [07:47] |
| mircea_popescu: | literally, for the cost of installing gimp you get what ammounts to a visual repl. | [07:47] |

| Framedragger: | mircea_popescu: the 20M or so servers which responded to TCP SYNs sent to port 22. however, out of those, about 5M (or however many) did not respond to ssh handshakes, hence the lower number in the banners and phuctor payloads. | [08:16] |
| mircea_popescu: | ah right right. | [08:16] |
| Framedragger: | i guess one should standardise terms here. the larger number corresponds to "something's running there" servers, found via 1st scan phase. the lower 15M number corresponds to "actually speaks ssh protocol" servers, found via 2nd (ssh-keyscan) scan phase. | [08:17] |
| Framedragger: | i would avoid inducing all of this confusion if i wrote all of this shit up in place - mea culpa. will be done eventually. | [08:18] |

| mircea_popescu: | Framedragger there's a lot of interesting stuff at the "western world" - japan interface. japan being, of course, the only non-european industrialised country. but it doesn't stop there - when the whole socialist world went up in flames in the 20s, japan was doing absolutely fine even made a bundle speculating the loser's currencies. | [09:21] |
| mircea_popescu: | this has A LOT to do with the mechanisms discussed in http://trilema.com/2013/digging-through-archives-yields-gold/ and so unsurprisingly the us marxists came up with all sorts of funny theories as to what "japan was really like" economically. | [09:22] |
| mircea_popescu: | it's a topic worthy of investigation. | [09:22] |
| Framedragger: | hey scriba catch this http://www.mail-archive.com/cryptography@metzdowd.com/msg09968.html | [09:23] |
| mircea_popescu: | he was wrong on one point, re the "political suicide". not that the niggers aren't PRETENDING of course, but their pretense aside my credit's evidently better than clinton's. | [09:27] |
| mircea_popescu: | so far it was political suicide - for her not for me. | [09:27] |
| mircea_popescu: | on which note i should wish to muchly encourage the ~competent~ youth to not fear "suicide" of this nature. it's a control artefact implanted by the socialist motherhood for their detriment, a sort of imaginary pain box of the bene gesserit. there's no reason to even HAVE a "group of women who don't fuck" as a political entity, let alone ridoinculous imaginary boxes. | [09:29] |

| mircea_popescu: | right. | [09:30] |
| mircea_popescu: | japan got buldozed chiefly because of the utterly immoral attitude of thinking people at the time. | [09:31] |
| mircea_popescu: | who, incidentally, mostly all figured out what a horrible sin it was to deliver the socialists the bomb. | [09:31] |
| mircea_popescu: | except, in typical "i'm a thinker not a doer" puppy style, figured out after. | [09:31] |

| mircea_popescu: | not really the point, is it. | [09:32] |
| mircea_popescu: | "i just want to" i get it, i get it. it's stupid and disastrous. | [09:32] |

| trinque: | muh feelings. | [12:02] |
| Framedragger: | re. asking questions involving properties which do not exist, hah this is something that russell was actually battling with. what is the truth-value of the statement "the present king of france is bold"? some would say it does not have a value (because the term "present king of france" does not have a referent) russell would say "false". | [12:02] |
| mircea_popescu: | it is false. | [12:02] |
| mircea_popescu: | truth-value can not be nil. | [12:02] |
| Framedragger: | so all statements have truth-values, then? | [12:03] |
| trinque: | so then, I just said "is every element in this set true" and got a true on the empty set. | [12:03] |
| Framedragger: | (ruseell's theory of definite descriptions says "yes", other frameworks say "not necessarily") | [12:03] |
| Framedragger: | "bagumpa is blerpy" has truth-value? | [12:03] |
| mircea_popescu: | Framedragger if your semantics allows for it. whether they do or don't is not the same as the truth-value BEING nil however. | [12:03] |
| mircea_popescu: | i know it's commonly taught as equivalent, but saying "x doesn't have an y" is not the same as saying "x's y is nil" | [12:04] |
| trinque: | is this a "the void has all properties" thing ? | [12:05] |
| Framedragger: | note, strawson, frege would say that the king of france *expression* fails to provide a *(logical) proposition*. i.e., it does not have one. imho this is a valid thought, i.e. the matter is not 100% clear. | [12:05] |
| mircea_popescu: | note however that many languages (which aren't english) allow purely constructive usage such as adjectival forms constructed from nouns, the noun of a verb and the verb of a noun and so following. depending on semantics bagumpa is blerpy could well have a truth value - if say your definition of is includes an equivalency class for all elements starting with the same letter. | [12:06] |
| * Framedragger | would like to carry on with phi of lang but will resume later, need to move self body | [12:06] |
| mircea_popescu: | trinque perhaps the cheapest way to visualise the difference between nil and falsehood is to contrast "ex nihilo nihil" with the value table for false-implication. | [12:07] |
| trinque: | so how do we get across the bridge from "the empty set has no members" to "every member of the empty set had blue hair" being true? | [12:07] |
| mircea_popescu: | all sentences spring from a false but nothing springs from the nil. | [12:08] |
| trinque: | I understand the difference, was saying lisp *should* have a separate false. | [12:08] |
| mircea_popescu: | ianale. | [12:09] |
| trinque: | nil is used everywhere to mean false, not say "this question can't be answered" | [12:09] |
| mircea_popescu: | well part of the problem is that nil can't be used to mean anything other than nil./ | [12:11] |
| Framedragger: | (imho lisp's use of nil as false *is* incorrect, even if you disagree with "every member of the empty set had blue hair" having to be true. it *is* an unholy confusion, falsehood != nil.) | [12:11] |
| trinque: | aha | [12:11] |
| trinque: | SQL gets it right here. | [12:11] |
| mircea_popescu: | as to the blue hair issue : if you can't produce a member which has non-blue hair, the proposition stands and if i can prove you can't (which i prove by showing there's no elements in the null set) then the proposition evaluates to true. | [12:13] |
| trinque: | ah! | [12:13] |
| trinque: | proceeding from falsification I can understand. | [12:13] |
| Framedragger: | suddenly karl popper in set theory? :O *suspicious* | [12:14] |
| Framedragger: | but, consistent. | [12:14] |
| Framedragger: | that's all well and good when you can enumerate countable set elements exhaustively / have firm grasp of a term's extension, but what if you don't - any predicate stands true until shown otherwise? | [12:16] |
| trinque: | it feels practically wrong while logical | [12:17] |
| Framedragger: | maybe there could be an empirical-tmsr-set-theory thing :) but for logical analysis, that's weird imo. for one, ontological arguments in regards to god's existence may gain more grounds. | [12:18] |
| trinque: | if one proceeds from there the definition of truth gets pretty squashy | [12:18] |
| mircea_popescu: | Framedragger a proposition ~stands~ until falsified. and is true once it can be showed it can't be false. | [12:24] |
| mircea_popescu: | if i were to endeavour to prove all primenumbers larger than 2 are odd, you'd count yourself satisfied if i showed a number that's prime and larger than 2 can not exist, yes ? | [12:24] |
| phf: | you're not asking for falsehood, when you're asking for nil-ness, so semantic confusion that arises from using same symbol for both concepts is almost always a theoretical problem. and when it's not, like in other situations of semantic ambiguity you can choose to be more precise. luckily people who like to solve theoretical problems of thinking-computing mismatch have moved away from lisp and are doing haskell now | [12:25] |
| mircea_popescu: | the proposition "four is a prime number" doesn't stand, because a factor is known the proposition "this and this rsa key is made of two primes" stands, but is not known to be true. | [12:25] |
| mircea_popescu: | lol phf up in arms. | [12:25] |
| mircea_popescu: | anyway, the problem generally is that "all things" have an ontology and a gnoseology, which is separate and so trivially separable even the greeks were privy to it (hence plato's ideal objects) except for the void, which is AT THE SAME TIME the absence of ontology and the plenarity of gnoseology. which is to say, the same "thing" at the same time doesn't exist (ie, as nil) and implies everything (ie, as "false"). | [12:28] |
| mircea_popescu: | this duality then makes it a fine candidate for a "prime mover", which bothered the scholastics immensely, because they, much like the scholastics-lite version of smith in the us say, wanted to intercede their own agent in there, so he could do things and therefore their derpitude could matter. | [12:28] |
| phf: | i just found this thing, and this should've been that, and that should've been the other, va a fare in culo! :E | [12:29] |

| * trinque | should bitch about programming moar often what a ride | [12:30] |
| mircea_popescu: | anyway. for completeness let it be stated that perceived problems of thought-computing mismatch are thoroughly a matter of perception, and in principle can not be fixed (other than fixing the perception). it's the fundamental problem of "ai", as derided often enough here (see the "what if you name the procedures something other than "understanding" etc see also chomski's attacks on "ai" centered on the constructed repeating | [12:33] |
| mircea_popescu: | strings) | [12:33] |

| mircea_popescu: | hey, i'm not here to defend extant programing language design choices. | [12:55] |
| mircea_popescu: | but i shall discuss logic with you, if you do not appease us. | [12:55] |

| * trinque | appreciated the discussion, learned. | [12:55] |
| mircea_popescu: | i think it's a fabulous testament on the very matters at hand that the ~only guy who has a very introspective, quiet, slow and complete approach to thinking/speaking got derated for emotionals. | [12:56] |

| * Framedragger | adjusts tone | [12:57] |
| Framedragger: | :D | [12:57] |
| Framedragger: | anyway, i agree that there is a way to construct an "every" so that given a null set, it spits out true. however, "every" of what? usually there's a predicate, and then the way you'd test "every" with a predicate is that you run that predicate on every element encountered. and you test that it *obtains*, not that it *does not obtain*. | [12:59] |
| mircea_popescu: | "every nonexistent thing" | [12:59] |
| mircea_popescu: | amusingly all null sets are the same set. | [12:59] |

| asciilifeform: | or the pythagoreans | [13:07] |
| Framedragger: | mircea_popescu: just to clarify so you don't think i'm trying to fuck around, i mean that all predicates would be true under null set. i don't find that to be a good idea. that's all | [13:07] |
| mircea_popescu: | there's an ancient quote about the wine vessel aleph of a party, with 3+ being the breaking of furniture | [13:08] |
| mircea_popescu: | considerations of null set clearly are better than wine. | [13:08] |
| BingoBoingo: | lol | [13:08] |
| BingoBoingo: | Framedragger: Then don't linger in any null sets? | [13:08] |
| mircea_popescu: | Framedragger you don't so far find it to be an idea altogether, as best it can be determined. | [13:08] |
| Framedragger: | here's a compressed internal model: "mircea_popescu wants truth-conditions of predicates in set theory to abide by a kind of falsification-based criterion." | [13:09] |
| mircea_popescu: | this isn't actually what i said though. | [13:10] |
| mircea_popescu: | i just pointed out the method works didn't say it's the only approach. | [13:10] |
| Framedragger: | (and just for the record, i'm interpreting any remarks by anyone here charitably, assuming no snide, and trying to be snide'y myself.) | [13:10] |
| Framedragger: | okay, fair. | [13:10] |
| asciilifeform: | how come nobody barfs from multiplications by 0 yielding same result no matter what is the multiplicand, but predicates being true under the null set -- different matter ?? | [13:10] |
| mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform this distinction stands at the very root of naive notions of "i'm creative" vs "i'm good with math" | [13:10] |
| asciilifeform: | mircea_popescu: expand ? | [13:11] |
| mircea_popescu: | ok. | [13:11] |
| Framedragger: | because first of all these are not the same thing. we would first have to introduce, say (as an example), peano arithmetic atop set theory, and go from there. "multiplication" is a diff beast. why not division? etc etc. | [13:12] |
| mircea_popescu: | it's not just that computing isn't thought what happens in the brain is also not reason. as far as the logic is concerned things may be whatever they are, but in the objective development of the subject there's an i-ontology and a world-ontology. this disjunction is or is not resolved in time but from the subjective development it was never a problem in the first place. | [13:12] |
| mircea_popescu: | Framedragger we need no such thing, "0" means the same in the language of the commutative ring R as "nill" means in the natural language above. | [13:13] |
| mircea_popescu: | it's just whether one is inclined to allocate either both of these domains to i-ontology, or just one of them. | [13:13] |
| mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform does that answer ? | [13:14] |
| Framedragger: | waitwait, algebra, okay [i'm trying to actually follow] | [13:14] |
| Framedragger: | mircea_popescu: as regards that particular point, you are probably right. but what do you mean by "i-ontology"? the latter becomes wibbly-wobbly | [13:15] |
| Framedragger: | seriously, i'll write an mp-bot with markov model to rebuke any arguments people throw at me. i'll reap ca$h. | [13:15] |
| mircea_popescu: | i mean there's a set of expectations (this is what an ontology, ie, list of items and predicates, always is) for the self and ANOTHER one for the world. | [13:16] |
| mircea_popescu: | what some psychologists then turn around and measure as "integration". but in any case, it's trivially evident that ~the world~ may be good or bad, but not the subject. observable at all scales, from the freeranged girlfriend of your choice to the us propaganda discussing aleppo/mosul. | [13:17] |
| Framedragger: | okay. can you give an example? "for the self" is too continental-philosophy ) | [13:17] |
| mircea_popescu: | yes. derps at dept of state GENUINELY BELIEVE that they "did what they had to" in mosul and the russians are being evil criminals in aleppo. | [13:18] |

| mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform you may be surprised by that rocket thing iirc i posted a guy attached to a car. | [13:19] |
| mircea_popescu: | yes. | [13:19] |
| * Framedragger | off, bbl. plox to be kind | [13:21] |
| mircea_popescu: | in any case - mental models of logic, as with mental models of anything found in nature -, are approximations. the same mechanism that allows a guy to isolate 0* from null.predicate allows one all sorts of psycho-imunological responses that are rather requisite to maintain the subjective notion of the self ~in a format comprehensible to itself~! | [13:21] |

| asciilifeform: | Framedragger: correct. it is possible to carry on fission with < ~100 yr.-halflife exhaust. But It Would Be Wrong (tm) (r) because ohnoez, 'reactor indistinguishable from weapons cycle' and ohnoez nonpetropowered world. | [15:40] |
| Framedragger: | ahh. i guess in the same vein, "stop what you're doing iran because it's weapons, and wrong" | [15:42] |
| mircea_popescu: | tis not so plain an' simple as all that alfie. notwithstanding that yeah, prolly breeder reactors are going to take over as we run out of space to put the waste nevertheless they're more expensive an' complicated and etc. simply larger bar. | [15:46] |
| mircea_popescu: | current used types are yet cheaper mostly because uranium turned out to be more plentiful than anyone realised in the 50s, and because the cost of waste storage is not properly accounted. | [15:47] |
| mircea_popescu: | that 2nd lobe will change the economics, but in decades from now. | [15:47] |
| asciilifeform: | very much cheaper, esp. since cost of breeder, properly accounted, includes obliteration of usg AND petrolizards | [15:48] |

| mircea_popescu: | yeah well to create a new set of miners. | [15:49] |
| mircea_popescu: | anyway. the problem of very long lived actinides (like iodine 129) is certain to eventually drive burner designs. even if they're run as two separate installatiosn as currently the case for some insane reason (really, germany burns up uranium in light water reactor, then ships the leftover by train to france to be reburned in a special burner. could have done all in one place but hey.). | [15:54] |

| pete_dushenski: | lol i just mistyped !Q as iQ is all. | [17:21] |
| mircea_popescu: | nope. when typing commands i use the right for the right shift, the fuck finger for ! and the index for whatever else. | [17:21] |
| mircea_popescu: | therefore bot commands will be known as fucksticks. | [17:22] |
| BingoBoingo: | asciilifeform: AHA, these things pete_dushenski is raving about are stricly Canadian thing. | [17:22] |
| * pete_dushenski | also uses right shift for commands | [17:22] |
| ben_vulpes: | and you two are strictly talking about irc interfaces? | [17:22] |
| mircea_popescu: | actually on meditation i almost never use left shift. cuz my left thumb is on ctrl/macro | [17:23] |
| asciilifeform: | mircea_popescu: 'g' was result of my frustration with trb's plaintext tcp | [17:23] |

| mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform you wanna give him the code or what ? | [17:23] |
| pete_dushenski: | BingoBoingo: it's mostly that we just get shittier models here, eg. micra. but obv. with weaker currency we pay more for same model. this is thankfully compensated by being richer in btc/localfiat terms. | [17:24] |
| mircea_popescu: | www* not wwb | [17:24] |

| mircea_popescu: | eh it'll be fine. | [17:24] |
| asciilifeform: | and tmsr-rsa needs rng. | [17:24] |
| mircea_popescu: | when that happens, we can upgrade. | [17:24] |
| BingoBoingo: | pete_dushenski: Anyways the solution to the "wheels for alf" problem is he needs three 1990's Lexus IS 300's from which to construct a one superior example. | [17:25] |
| asciilifeform: | BingoBoingo: it so happens that i have a working auto | [17:25] |

| ben_vulpes: | possibly 'lemon' if you can't get in a car and hear mid diff wobble, possibly lemon if you don't do the sale at a dealership and pay 100 for the safety inspection before purchasing, possibly lemon if all sorts of 'civilian' | [17:40] |

| pete_dushenski: | asciilifeform: dude, walking out your front door is 'travelling to some shithole'. and no one will bring new car to you! so might as well live a little. remember how fun chicago was ? or ba ? | [17:58] |

| asciilifeform: | iirc you needed one | [18:03] |
| pete_dushenski: | asciilifeform: well, tbf, you put all your rust ~in your house~ with all those old pdps and alphas. at least we put ours in garages. | [18:04] |
| * asciilifeform | has never ftr owned a pdp | [18:04] |

| ben_vulpes: | asciilifeform: capital equipment is not for 'fun' | [18:06] |
| ben_vulpes: | mig engines are for 'fun' | [18:06] |
| BingoBoingo: | What about STFU buy used screams rich folk? If 2005-later cars suck the solution is buy older! | [18:07] |
| asciilifeform: | BingoBoingo: classic 'gentooist' mistake in thinking: to forget to factor in the costs, not insignificant, of garage space, of time spent dealing with the finicky rusty bucket | [18:09] |
| asciilifeform: | of being stuck in roads, parking lots | [18:09] |
| asciilifeform: | of hunting for parts | [18:10] |
| asciilifeform: | you're still paying ~= what new auto costs, just more slowly, painfully | [18:10] |
| asciilifeform: | unless you are already 'grease man' and so it seems 'free'... | [18:11] |
| ben_vulpes: | "this dress took me thirty minutes and ten years to make" | [18:11] |
| asciilifeform: | aha. | [18:11] |
| ben_vulpes: | theorems to prove, belts to change... | [18:12] |
| ben_vulpes: | fwiw, i find car-swearing-time doubles as excellent design/thinking time. | [18:12] |
| asciilifeform: | i know a d00d who reassembles '50s 'golden age of usa' autos. has machine shop, and even multiple houses , which he rents out except for garage, in each - keeps 1-3 of these museum pieces | [18:14] |
| pete_dushenski: | "Uber relies on location services to ensure safe and accurate rides. In this latest version of the app, you’ll now be asked to allow location information collection from the time you request a ride through up to five minutes after it ends.

| asciilifeform: | at one point i wanted to rent one of his houses, but learned that every single garage is in use ! | [18:14] |
| asciilifeform: | so 0 plus over my current one... | [18:14] |
| ben_vulpes: | with the new monstrosity abutting the property line next door, i think i've finally bumped carport up on the list of shit to build | [18:15] |
| ben_vulpes: | omg may i relate how bad a job next door is doing | [18:15] |
| asciilifeform: | pete_dushenski: i used 'uber' a number of times, it is a very mixed bag | [18:15] |
| ben_vulpes: | so the vinyl, stamped-with-wood-grain siding showed up and was applied to the house | [18:15] |
| ben_vulpes: | and maybe 2 boards out of the whole 150' house length per row are matched at the ends | [18:16] |
| ben_vulpes: | which is particularly amusing, as this stamped material is designed to line up perfectly for the whole run | [18:16] |
| pete_dushenski: | asciilifeform: i've generally had very positive experiences with it. 95% excellent drivers. 75% decent cars. proper taxi flips those two figures but also costs 20% more and wait times are unreliable. | [18:23] |
| pete_dushenski: | ben_vulpes: sounds gnasty. | [18:23] |
| BingoBoingo: | <asciilifeform> you're still paying ~= what new auto costs, just more slowly, painfully << Nah at some point you just break up with car and get new $2500 car for another few years. | [18:24] |
| asciilifeform: | pete_dushenski: it's the picking-up part that works half the time. | [18:24] |
| BingoBoingo: | ben_vulpes: Problem is after stamped plastic leaves factory | [18:25] |
| ben_vulpes: | asciilifeform: when booting anode in 'solipsistic test network' mode with gen=1 and genproclimit=some reasonable fraction of local cores, i should see a few cores go to 100% utilization immediately, no? | [18:25] |
| ben_vulpes: | BingoBoingo: noshit.png | [18:26] |
| asciilifeform: | BingoBoingo: problem is anyhing that introduces 'will it start tomorrow??' into my workflow. | [18:26] |
| asciilifeform: | ben_vulpes: theoretically | [18:26] |
| BingoBoingo: | asciilifeform: In that case you want a 90s honda civic or 90s lexus 300 | [18:27] |
| ben_vulpes: | asciilifeform: 'getinfo' is telling me '0 hashes per sec', which is troubling | [18:27] |
| asciilifeform: | BingoBoingo: that converts it to 'yes it started, but will it stop before i finish going to $place' | [18:27] |
| asciilifeform: | ben_vulpes: you have empty blockchain ? (genesis only ) ? | [18:28] |
| BingoBoingo: | asciilifeform: Max cost of brake work on such a vehicle tops out at ~900 to ~1200 to replace entire "make car stop" system. | [18:28] |
| BingoBoingo: | Some expenses actually have a maximum | [18:28] |
| asciilifeform: | replace with ~what~ ? | [18:29] |
| asciilifeform: | where do i buy a NEW 80s merc motor. | [18:29] |
| pete_dushenski: | as someone who just oversaw ownership of early 2000s lexus is300 that put on 40k km in a year, i'm not sure i'd recommend it unless you're pretty handy. not hard to work on, but parts aren't super cheap, it's a bit dicey in the winter, it's a ~very~ firm ride, and it's soooo hard on consumables (gas and oil). | [18:29] |
| BingoBoingo: | new pads, calipers, rotors, drums, cylinders... | [18:29] |
| ben_vulpes: | asciilifeform: genesis only | [18:29] |
| BingoBoingo: | Oh, I thought you meant "will car stop when I press pedal" misread | [18:29] |
| BingoBoingo: | And we are not talking 80s merc motors unless pete_dushenski, we are talking 90s honda motors of which there are LEGION! | [18:30] |
| asciilifeform: | BingoBoingo: no, i meant 100% deterministic operation, starts when i turn key, stops -- when i unturn it, and never else. | [18:30] |
| asciilifeform: | BingoBoingo: new ones?! | [18:30] |
| BingoBoingo: | In which case 90s honda is solid choice | [18:30] |
| BingoBoingo: | asciilifeform: Rebuilt and remanufactered ones | [18:31] |
| asciilifeform: | not same. | [18:31] |
| BingoBoingo: | It's Honda, quintessential "idiot proof" car | [18:31] |
| asciilifeform: | 'dun worry, when your lemon dies, you can assemble a new one with parts from other lemons' | [18:32] |
| BingoBoingo: | Brand new anything gets problems too | [18:32] |
| BingoBoingo: | But more expensive ones because loan keeps "throw it away and replace" from being option | [18:32] |
