[00:01]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], NPR had a junk article the other day.
[00:01]	IsambardPrince	It said that the collapse of the AI bubble will cause mass unemployment.
[00:01]	IsambardPrince	So they're admitting it's a bubble now?
[00:01]	IsambardPrince	Typically nobody in the MSM says bubble until it's already collapsing.
[00:02]	IsambardPrince	They didn't say housing bubble until a couple months before the bank failures.
[00:02]	IsambardPrince	They didn't say dotcom bubble until the stocks crashed weeks later.
[00:02]	IsambardPrince	Everyone wants to live in the bubble, nobody wants to say bubble.
[00:03]	IsambardPrince	They defend the bubble until it's on the verge of total failure.

[00:04]	TR Bot	 NO TITLE
[00:04]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], $8.07 for a McDonald's order in 1990.
[00:04]	IsambardPrince	$34.68 for the same order in 2026.
[00:05]	IsambardPrince	I typically only go to McDonald's if it's so cheap because of a coupon that it's just a few bucks.
[00:06]	IsambardPrince	Did that again today. Double cheeseburger, medium fries no salt (lots of ketchup), and a refillable small Diet Coke. $3.16 plus tax.
[00:06]	IsambardPrince	But that's not just going up to the register and ordering.
[00:07]	IsambardPrince	If you do it all that way and don't use a coupon glitch, then just the double cheeseburger would cost $4.19. The Diet Coke would cost $1.19. And the medium fries by themselves would be $2.89. For a total of $8.27 plus tax.
[00:07]	IsambardPrince	That's more than a quarter pounder with cheese and a "super size" coke and fries used to cost in 2004.
[00:08]	IsambardPrince	In 2004 you could get the QPC, Super Size coke and fries for $4.89.

[00:08]	IsambardPrince	I remember the price exactly because I went there on my lunch break so often.
[00:08]	IsambardPrince	They were in the parking lot.
[00:09]	IsambardPrince	McDonald's brought back the Super Size fries by stealth.
[00:09]	IsambardPrince	They call it "the fry basket" now. It's literally a basket of fries that's about 1.75 times the size of a large fries.
[00:09]	IsambardPrince	They don't go out of their way to advertise it.

[00:27]	nobody	one of the most saddening i know, that's why i haven't watched it ever again for more than 10years
[00:27]	admfubar	how old is your dvd drive?
[00:28]	nobody	well, i got three dvd drives to test with, two external USB2, and one internal, and the dvd failed with two dvd drives already
[00:28]	nobody	doesn't matter, i might try to torrent a ready-made dvd-rip from somewhere
[00:29]	admfubar	i've been picking up dvds and bluerays at goodwill (cds too)

[00:32]	IsambardPrince	<cybershow> how did American food get so complex Isambard?
[00:32]	IsambardPrince	Capturing the "consumer surplus".
[00:33]	IsambardPrince	Also, there's a concept in groceries called "Key Value Items".
[00:33]	IsambardPrince	People pay closer attention to what milk, eggs, bread, butter, and some other things cost.
[00:37]	cybershow	wow I think I'd starve in the US, I'm just not a captured consimer key value pair sorta type :)
[00:37]	cybershow	generlly I go by smell
[00:39]	cybershow	<nobody> you tried cleaning the disk really good with polish etc 
[00:40]	nobody	sure, tried to clean it, carefully
[00:40]	nobody	doesn't matter, i'm downloading it, only loosing german audio track and subtitles then
[00:46]	nobody	online most dvd-rip downloads do not contain foreign language audio tracks and subtitles
[00:48]	cybershow	often i look up a .srt file ust to get the transcript, they're quite common out there, well before all the search stsrated dying 
[00:49]	cybershow	its just so hard to find anything any more
[00:49]	nobody	it's relatively easy to bundle multiple audio tracks and subtitles when ripping dvds
[00:50]	nobody	i'm doing it with handbrake.exe here, and a busybox.exe shell script
[00:50]	nobody	only annoyance is dvd-navigation, to identify which title and track to choose

[00:57]	nobody	produced on low budget
[00:58]	cybershow	watched werner Herzog's film making course and that hit home... how massive budget movies get made that are not worth watching
[00:58]	cybershow	but films made or 10k are some of the best

[01:22]	IsambardPrince	Vice City was where I really got into it.
[01:22]	IsambardPrince	Because you were far enough into the 3d era that it started being passable.
[01:23]	IsambardPrince	I liked V because the mission design was so good, and the handling of the weapons was more realistic.
[01:24]	IsambardPrince	So there's that level of immersion like the police show up and you feel like you're really in a shootout with them and having to duck behind cover and there's bullets flying everywhere and scenery completely falling apart.

[03:44]	IsambardPrince	This can go on for years, but eventually there are either profits or there's a bankruptcy.
[03:44]	IsambardPrince	Having a tech startup is usually less about whether the product will ever profit, and more about making it look like there's a goal so you can pay yourself out of investor cash before bankrupting the company.

[03:58]	IsambardPrince	Layoffs are absolutely a failure of management, they are always a failure of management.
[03:58]	IsambardPrince	The employees there did not do anything to deserve being laid off. They did valuable work that created profitable products.

[04:33]	IsambardPrince	<schestowitz[TR2]> today i read about barclays bank
[04:33]	IsambardPrince	I have a Barclays credit card.
[04:34]	IsambardPrince	They have a US division. They're a deeply subprime bank that issues many store cards at exorbitant interest rates even for a credit card.
[04:41]	schestowitz[TR2]	they do us cards?
[04:41]	schestowitz[TR2]	didn't know
[04:49]	IsambardPrince	Yeah, they do the Priceline Visa. Lots of others.
[04:49]	IsambardPrince	Their online banking is terrible.
[04:53]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], There's apparently an open source project to replace the video game engine from Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance now called OpenXWA.
[04:53]	IsambardPrince	It's still pretty early in its development, that was a good game though.
[04:53]	IsambardPrince	The problem with all these old games is the same.
[04:53]	IsambardPrince	The binaries "rot".
[04:54]	IsambardPrince	They would still work on their target operating system, but few systems are left that can run that.
[04:54]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], I remember when my mom was married to Dave and we were going through some old boxes.
[04:55]	IsambardPrince	I found old discs from 15 years before that for Windows 98 customization, on a PC I hadn't had in 11 years.
[04:55]	IsambardPrince	I guess that she was always trying to move out in a hurry in the middle of some sort of disaster because of one of her ex-husbands and the discs survived for many years.
[04:56]	IsambardPrince	Just shoved somewhere and sitting around in Gonad the Barbarian's house or her apartment, or the move into the first house with Dave.

[05:23]	schestowitz[TR2]	as rianne put it yesterday
[05:23]	schestowitz[TR2]	in the 90s people didn't have enough
[05:24]	schestowitz[TR2]	they wanted more and more
[05:24]	schestowitz[TR2]	and that's why things ended up so baadly
[05:24]	schestowitz[TR2]	Mincer would say it's a "Devil Apes" issue
[05:24]	IsambardPrince	We had enough in the 90s.
[05:24]	IsambardPrince	Technology wasn't as advanced but society was much better off.
[05:25]	IsambardPrince	We're living in an advanced but incredibly diseased society now.
[05:26]	IsambardPrince	This is what happens when degenerates take everything over. Load the system up with debts, cut safety nets. Talk about penises while they help impose mass surveillance on people.
[05:26]	IsambardPrince	Windows is one aspect of mass surveillance.
[05:26]	IsambardPrince	This is why governments are getting off of Windows and Microsoft.
[05:26]	IsambardPrince	They realize that the US is using it to spy on their government.
[05:27]	IsambardPrince	That everything their government does goes through a computer, the CIA is aware of it immediately, Trump hands it to the Russian ambassador.

[05:36]	IsambardPrince	Most of the people I voted for are considered shoe-ins anyway.
[05:36]	IsambardPrince	But I would consider them better than the people they're replacing in the House and Senate.
[05:37]	IsambardPrince	The usual problem.
[05:38]	IsambardPrince	"Moderate Democrats" that pretend to be "concerned" and then give Trump whatever he wants after mulling it over for five minutes. Been in Congress for 20-40 years.
[05:38]	IsambardPrince	This year's primaries were at least spicier than usual.
[05:40]	IsambardPrince	The Democrats in Illinois are making the districts too lopsided.
[05:40]	IsambardPrince	To the extent that the ones that win the House race get 68-70% of the vote sometimes.
[05:41]	IsambardPrince	This results in wasted votes that could probably be used to safely purge at least one Republican out of our delegation.

[20:05]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I'm still making my way through that movie about Vidkun Quisling.
[20:06]	IsambardPrince	They put him on herring and boiled potatoes every day.
[20:06]	IsambardPrince	While he was in prison awaiting trial and his execution.
[20:06]	IsambardPrince	It was pretty fitting, that's what political prisoners and Jews were fed while his puppet government was signing the orders to arrest them.
[20:07]	IsambardPrince	The Nazis didn't bother to dismantle the entire Norwegian government. They just put in a figurehead government and handed it orders to sign.
[20:07]	IsambardPrince	It reminded me of Puyi being the "Emperor of Manchukuo" under the Japanese.
[20:08]	IsambardPrince	He was surrounded by Japanese "advisors" who were running the country and handing him things to sign while they strip mined the place and caused a drug problem and used the local women for brothels and set up horrific biological warfare labs.
[20:09]	IsambardPrince	The Last Emperor was a great movie, fabulous movie, one of my favorites.
[20:10]	IsambardPrince	But the red Chinese were in charge of censoring the script in exchange for unprecedented access to film in the Forbidden City.
[20:10]	IsambardPrince	So one of the things that went out the window was that Puyi was struggling with impotence his whole lifetime.
[20:10]	IsambardPrince	Another thing was he was bisexual, and leaned heavily towards men.
[20:11]	IsambardPrince	And another thing they glossed over was he wasn't just having the city looted by his subjects, the servants around him were sexually abusing him as a child.

[23:34]	schestowitz[TR2]	this was signed off this week
[23:34]	schestowitz[TR2]	by torvalds
[23:35]	cybershow	so you're saying kernel contributions are anonymous now?
[23:35]	schestowitz[TR2]	anonymous commits is not the same
[23:35]	schestowitz[TR2]	but it's pseudonymous
[23:35]	schestowitz[TR2]	I covered ages ago what red hat did
[23:35]	schestowitz[TR2]	NSA patches were inserted with redhatt.com accounts

[23:35]	cybershow	there is still a leger and people will be found accountable and dealt with 
[23:36]	schestowitz[TR2]	the name on the pushers (as in git push ... or ccommit) is not the whole story
[23:36]	schestowitz[TR2]	itt just says which  user account it came from
[23:36]	schestowitz[TR2]	cybershow: worse
[23:36]	schestowitz[TR2]	now the real patches

[23:36]	schestowitz[TR2]	can be excuses

[23:38]	schestowitz[TR2]	*claude
[23:38]	schestowitz[TR2]	ok, put it this way
[23:39]	schestowitz[TR2]	what linus signed off this week is,
[23:39]	schestowitz[TR2]	i don't care who wrore your code
[23:39]	schestowitz[TR2]	and it it's not you
[23:39]	schestowitz[TR2]	don'ty disclosure where the code came from
[23:39]	schestowitz[TR2]	i don'
[23:39]	schestowitz[TR2]	t want or need to know
[23:39]	cybershow	what independent organisations audit the Linux kernel source code?
[23:39]	schestowitz[TR2]	and the code signed by xyz can be anything from anybody
[23:39]	schestowitz[TR2]	cybershow: it's vast
[23:39]	schestowitz[TR2]	it's like thism 
[23:39]	schestowitz[TR2]	IME
[23:40]	schestowitz[TR2]	AMD MIGHT audit the AMD code
[23:40]	schestowitz[TR2]	iow, several staff in the orgg that makes it
[23:40]	schestowitz[TR2]	but noot outside it
[23:40]	schestowitz[TR2]	and something not evven that
[23:40]	schestowitz[TR2]	so sole author, openbsd has multi-persoooon rules
[23:40]	schestowitz[TR2]	for each package
[23:40]	schestowitz[TR2]	now, with slop, it can be 0 person
[23:40]	cybershow	I've heard the Greek legends about the vastness of the incomprehensible Linux source tree :)
[23:41]	schestowitz[TR2]	it can be machine spew with 0 review

[23:42]	schestowitz[TR2]	old code
[23:42]	schestowitz[TR2]	written by humans
[23:42]	cybershow	plough it over and replant
[23:42]	schestowitz[TR2]	based on SLOP machines
[23:42]	schestowitz[TR2]	so the slop decided to  remove code madde by humans
[23:42]	schestowitz[TR2]	to "fix" things
[23:43]	schestowitz[TR2]	it won't be long before majority of linus is rewritten with slop
[23:43]	schestowitz[TR2]	and then linus is only a brand
[23:43]	cybershow	so the last stable snapshot is something like 2.8
[23:43]	schestowitz[TR2]	*linux
[23:44]	cybershow	I'd love to get him on the show to face the accusation that his city is in ruins
[23:44]	schestowitz[TR2]	the creaks already show, e.g.:
