billymg: hanbot_abroad: if you want to take a look i just published a
draft of the vpatch. i
think more can be done
in terms of cleanup
of the old code but i wanted to get some eyes on it before doing another pass
mp_en_viaje: anyways, to fix the tard's definition, since i had to fucking link idiots : epic does not mean "massive and imposing
in scale or size". i get ~why~ socialism/ourdemocracy would
THINK SO, but it's still not true. epic means "a story
of men". quite literally, that's what it is, the discussion
of heroes
in heroic
terms.
billymg:
in terms of what i'd see myself doing, i
think the most important task for the rest
of my life is to protect my keys, if i can do that then i should be fine
diana_coman: re flipping them
in one's head: I'm sure it comes with practice but I'm not yet there; and yes, it's more
of my shortcoming that I keep tripping on this but atm this is how it is; generally speaking I don't
think the ideal is to
think in terms of role rather than (any) direction but there are the (historical as you noted) left/right shift/rotate which inevitably still bring direction
in for me.
mircea_popescu: poor woman, bereft
of letters. i always read it
in THOSE
terms, "if you can't
think and can't use language, AT LEAST FUCKING SLEEP!!!"
mircea_popescu: this was fashionable
in the 1800s, but to my eye today, better way to
think of species is
in terms of immune system protein trees.
mircea_popescu: one way to
think of species is
in terms of morphology, classify-by-what-it-looks-like.
Mocky: they
think in terms of nanny state policies and what policies statistical facts would imply
mircea_popescu: it's my considered opinion that taking "the american experience" into consideration for any practical purpose is fundamentally stupid. might as well
think in terms of "hey mr wright, this bird
of yours is ok, but does it lay eggs ?"
mircea_popescu: no mata haris, fine, sure.
think of it
in game theoretic
terms, if you will ?
Mocky:
in terms of actual traders, the guy actually trading on localbitcoins pulled his ad. So I posted my own ad up. It's been up for some time now, more than a week i
think. no locals contacted me yet
mircea_popescu: very plainly put : that the elite is tempted to
think of the herd
in individual
terms (which for the herd are inadequate
in the sense shoes are inadequate to cows -- too much hassle for too little actual, practical, "how does the shoes relate to me" benefit) ; whereas the herd is only capable to
think the elite
in herd
terms (between
http://btcbase.org/log/2015-01-21#985204 and how, say, romanian peasants' imago
of "the king"
☝︎ mircea_popescu: and
think in terms of confusable ~by whom~. as far as 50% or so
of fetlife female moron population is concerned, they have "a master" or whatever
in that vein.
douchebag: Now with that said, I
think it would be a very interesting career being a vulnerability broker - however there are a lot more risks
in terms of nations state attacks for that sort
of stuff.
a111: Logged on 2018-04-03 16:36 BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> so this upscale local market ("automercado") that stocks all the shit i buy and consequently got a multi-mn monthly account came up with the very dubious idea
of running a promotion. one
of those things where you get stickers with your receipt and then you fill a book ?
in the
terms of the master provisioneer, "they'll rue the day!". i
think she's got like twenty
of the things all lined up. << Here "automercados" are

douchebag: I've just been trying to
think ahead about what I should do with my life. As
of now I have a pretty solid plan
in terms of getting started and whatnot, I'll definitely be living comfortable. I'm just not sure what I should try to do after that to
mircea_popescu: you
think of sv
in terms of what the andressen-graham-etc scammers ADVERTISE
mircea_popescu: there's 0 reason to
think in these
terms. let the self-important impotent judges-
of-all-things-makers-
of-nothing wash their heads with their reference rights.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i
think "real estate"
in terms of "entries
in the namespace"
mircea_popescu:
of course the computronist would
think mod 0 is "an op that dun terminate". but
in any case, the "divide by x" approach to calculating a mod is just shorthand, not fundamental. mod is defined
in terms of substraction (take x and y, substract y from x until remainder sub y), has nothing to do with multiplication side
of the number ring.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-21 12:12 spyked: asciilifeform, what do you
think of minimal baremetal implementation
of Lisp (RISC assembly only) on something like a MIPS core? I might be thinking this
in too abstract
terms, it's definitely not that easy. but I'm trying to find a middle way between working FPGA Lisp machine and Lisp on unix.

☟︎ phf: oved." etc. etc. last tex release (apart from bug fixes) is version 3
in 1990. you'd
think(c)(r), but the reality is that layers and layers
of cancer are grown on top
of it, and when there's a discussion it is
in terms of original values, but when it comes to details its "use this lua pdf unicode thing which comes as part
of a 5GB package"
a111: Logged on 2017-07-09 15:48 phf: which made me
think that hashes are typically implemented
in terms of machine words, so you don't have this kind
of issues. fhf might be inherently "unoptimizable" since units that it operates on must be bignums

☟︎ mircea_popescu: people like to
think in terms of the former, it's less impedancy, but reality works on lattert
mircea_popescu:
think in terms of the old crime world. producer is the fixer, he gets some guy's house for the weekend. director is the office manager, he makes sure all the cunts end up on the couch and all the film cans
in the lab.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: i mean, when you're thinking
of spinning up those mirrors, you (i now suppose)
think in terms of months/weeks, not days or hours or minutes, hm. yeah, i see.
a111: Logged on 2017-04-04 22:32 mircea_popescu:
think in terms of that cartoon re final cs class at stanford : "and you are the idiots who didn't get hired
in 2nd or 3rd year". same deal, whoring is a fine plan for cut-above-rest 16yo. by the time she's 30 she's either married or too rich to care.

☟︎ phf: haha, well, we're on the same page. i have a soft spot for shoulder pads, because that's your 80s moscows, blade runner, so i just can't see them
in terms of "hear me roar". but i
think we had the whole sean young thread before..
Framedragger agrees. (but fwiw i don't
think it's legit even
in terms of logical analysis, even before practical considerations)
mircea_popescu: come to
think about it the early years were better
in terms of sheer crazy. there was also atlas, and that dank dude with the festival.
phf: the argument is that technology needs to be entirely routing agnostic, where's now you
think in terms of (afair) mappings between keys and addresses
ben_vulpes: when the problem domains are simple, the solution proposed appears to work.
in reality, as *tard mgmt demands more features, flexibility, reports, etc, the complexity
of maintaining and extending under the frameworkreich becomes more and more costly, a thing not necessarily apparent to anyone who hasn't suffered the saga or who doesn't
think in terms of complexity minimization from the get-go.
phf:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-30#1493744 << i
think of these projects
in the same
terms i
think of "knowledge"
in general. same way as there's no abstract scientific knowledge that's somehow "accessible" to "society", there isn't universal good value to naggum's emacs, but there would've been value
in naggum's ~to me~ as a kind
of abstract node
in what i'm hoping is a graph
of sane people. same way as "scientific knowledge" is only a kind
of comm
☝︎ thestringpuller: "I
think we're soon going to see discussions
of liability consume this community
in a way that makes the MtGox fiasco look simple by comparison -- because it was,
in terms of liability."
mircea_popescu:
think in terms of nuclear processes. "where are the pressures that create elements heavier than iron ?" "not
in this star"
Framedragger: yeah it's probably bull; interesting to
think in terms of IP though, whether there's a valuation methodology possible
mircea_popescu: he is clever. to wit : "What kind
of intellectual climate existed
in that time. What happens when everyone is coming up with new ideas all the time?
Think about it
in contemporary
terms. What happens when everybody and his grandma has his own ideas is… a whole lot
of signaling spirals."
mircea_popescu:
think in terms of "hepatitis alone" rather than "influenza alone"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
think in terms of websites. they just build themselves.
mircea_popescu: you wish to
think in terms of your chosen art, which is meaningless. it's not always the same art that provides the additional leverage.
diana_coman: I
think what is difficult to grok at all there is what exactly (even
in broad
terms) is the offering - what is this millenium
of code challenge at core
mircea_popescu: "Yves here. Get a cup
of coffee. This is a deep dive into how Bitcoin works from a payment systems perspective, and why the failure
of promoters and journalists to look at it
in those
terms has led them to greatly overestimate its significance." << "come hear my very novel take on why bitcoin is not disruptive because it doesn't do the buzzword i
think i understand and for this reason matters more than everything else!"
assbot: Logged on 26-07-2014 18:48:15; asciilifeform: this is why i simply don't get people who continue to
think of their relationship with the u.s. court system
in legal, rather than military,
terms.
mircea_popescu: rought and disposed
of (either accepting it or rejecting it) because both sides are present. Conversely, if you set a boundry for Amy
in the
terms of "don't try and
think honey, that's for men, just sit there and be pretty" she might listen, especially at 7, but you've set a boundry for her that has no upside. "Men" doesn't even exist per se. So this isn't an argument that can be considered, it only has one side to it.
mircea_popescu: but hey, they're fiat-based leeches and
think in terms of "can i sell this bitcoin"
pete_dushenski: politicians don't
think in terms of delivery, they
think in terms of re-election and passing-the-buck
mircea_popescu:
think of it
in terms of, being a very mediocre, fat woman that was writing code. lotta goto's, the ocasional for-loop-by-hand, and no passing by reference.
mircea_popescu: punkman
in practical
terms ownership
of capital goods is very messy. you
think gm owns the equipment
in gm plant ? as what, outright ? mno.

mircea_popescu: A tendency to
think in generic
terms of people, races ... is undoubtedly the profoundest flaw
in mythological thinking.""

https://i.imgur.com/pe5i8Mb.jpg << you'd
think the us would catch up with the arab world
in terms of civilisation already and introduce the water jets. << "if you can't afford a shitspoon, public shitspoon will be provided"
mircea_popescu:
think in terms of "talented soccer players" or anything else, it's the exact same story.
gernika: I
think I asked the wrong question actually - but I'm not sure how to put it
in terms of causes instead
of purposes.

trinque: seems an environment to learn how to
think in terms of economics
mircea_popescu: tho thieves often
think in terms of "o look, a slow scam is being set up!!1"
decimation: "Apparently the availability
of money from NSA had had a corrupting effect on some mathemati- cians, who started to
think in nationalistic and jingoistic
terms so that they could write their proposal
in a way that they thought would appeal to NSA."
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> williamdunne yeah that's exactly the sort
of thing. what clueless derp would
think of the press bias
in these
terms ? << Whichever Timothy go hooked into working for Vox faced this dilemma. Staid with Vox to his peril
mircea_popescu: williamdunne yeah that's exactly the sort
of thing. what clueless derp would
think of the press bias
in these
terms ?
trinque: I
think it's foolish to
think of it
in terms of that
mircea_popescu: you know,
think in the more accessible
terms of a hospital.
mircea_popescu:
think in terms of impregnating women, trinque. why don't you do it ? because what it... means, what it implies. but imagine it implied exactly nothing. well then ? why not ?
mircea_popescu:
think in terms of women, easier to
think. "is this the right woman for me, for my life ?"
mircea_popescu:
think of it
in terms of particles : if muons live a second and meons an hour, and at all times 10%
of particle population is muons, then what changes does a meon to turn into a muon during its lifetime ?
mircea_popescu: im not all that up to date to their internal strife, but
think in terms of ny mafia. some underboss or other.
mircea_popescu:
think of it
in terms of throwing bowling balls at a tree from outer space. you won't get within a mile. and if the first ball lands 735`331meters rom the tree, the next five won't land 735`331 meters from the next five threes.
decimation: "Guest: One, we could feed the world without GMOs; there are other practices that we could follow. So the idea that we are prisoners
of this technology I
think is something that should be dispelled. On the other hand, I don't
think we should try that. I
think if our water is precious, if our topsoil is precious, if we really care about the hydrocarbon footprint that we have
in terms of the amount
of cultivation that we need to carry
mircea_popescu: "It's largely engineers who
think about it
in terms of game theory. They
think that if you have unlimited blocksize, then the cost
of transactions will go to zero because there will always be a competitor that is willing to include transactions even if you're charging X. They believe this will cause a race to bottom and there won't be any incentive for miners to secure the network because they can't cover costs.

mircea_popescu: it's a smallish business,
think in terms of roger ver's used laptops shop
mircea_popescu: coderwill
think of it
in sexual
terms. "honey let's fuck". "are you going to be around
in ten years to raiuse my children ?" "nope" "so i'm loaning you my taxed income
in the future ?"
mircea_popescu: dionyziz b ecause you're leaking information through the shipping.
think of it
in crypto
terms, you're using a 8 bit key on an amiga as part
of the process.
mircea_popescu: i never realised people could
think of toddlers
in terms of fat/skinny.
moriarty: xmj, let's try a little credo, i see ideologies as part
of a continuum, many
of the questions i am interested
in lies
in the intersection, i tend to
think in terms of probability distributions rather than dichotomous epistemic categories
mircea_popescu: integration, for the record, is simply a measure
of mutual dependence.
think in terms of a couple. the more things they do together, te more integrated they are.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: so you make a commitment to a house that exceeds the commitment you make to the woman
in question. seems a bad equity play. << it's a terrible equity play. but plebs don't
think in terms of +ev, only
in the emotional "nao"
usg_press_machin: Thanks Mircea. I
think crypto has a place to carve out individual privacy, but I don't
think it necessarily follows that the only option is to view the relationship
in terms of conflict. Reading now
mircea_popescu: <decimation> I suspect the median white father would desire to have a white grandchild, does that make him racist? <<< this is very us/midwestern. i don't
think a majority
of europeans identify
in those
terms or specifically care.
mircea_popescu: so let's take the baby home : real programmers
think in terms of functions and macros,
