mircea_popescu: the shoemaker's literal shoemaking skills, admirable
as they might've been, fail to hold interest.
mircea_popescu: there's a difference between when stupidity is a character flaw, such
as in mongolia, and when stupidity is a social requirement, such
as in san francisco.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform was pretty evident. the end result of the societal changes driven by the roosevelt-socialist government (aptly summarized
as "female is the only legitimate owner of property") is that 2nd generation consists of these innefectual males bound to the great mother through the simple fact that well, she owns the hut.
lobbes: esthlos: now this is very true; if you're going to trust your coin to a 3rd party, it may
as well be someone in-wot. anyways, whenever you want to set up an account hop on over to #pizarro. I'm sure BingoBoingo or mod6 can get you started
mircea_popescu: actually i'd say they're a standard sui generis, "if you're going to distribute binaries, at least do them
as well
as nvidia"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the thing is the death of moore bit them in the ass too. i am very happy with 10year old cards
as it is. and even when i buy "new", i buy old ones.
mircea_popescu: but
as you were typing that, i was thinking "We fucking need an expert gfx card wizard to debinary that shit already"
mircea_popescu: i cheat ;
as per alf "is a toilet" magics, i just use nvidia's binaries.
a111: Logged on 2018-07-19 19:10 mircea_popescu: for that matter, apple wants to take advantage of tmsr-style release, let them get in l1. but even before that, it's so shocking to me alf would accept a binary from "bintray.com"
as some sort of item.
mircea_popescu: i do not pose
as expert gymnast in any sense ; and yes this caliber turd is somewhat common in unixworld altogether. but still, holy hell, fucking gymnastics.

☟︎ phf: mircea_popescu: the upstream X is already a mess of libraries, substantial gymnastics are required to build it on any system without assistance of something like gentoo's portage. in case of apple things are typically distributed
as a binary, which is what i linked above. xquartz.org also has the sources, that are patched versions of original freedesktop code. one could theoretically build that by hand, but typically one would use
mircea_popescu: let's put it this way : should i double click that on an apple, i'd find a bundle so that a) if i exclude all non-text files i can then b) use at least one specified version of a compiler chain i can build in same manner so
as to c) produce object files which then d) run on my system.

as always, speaking of civilized work.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no but that's the fashionable thing, ever since "our brave boys in uniform" came back, erryone's permitted to go about pretending
as if they have some kind of business.
BingoBoingo: And occasionally yellow fever crosses the border in the North
as well
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
as far
as I can tell the bee sting variety, but I have seen a couple people with sizeable welts returning to the hostel from there after day trips
mod6: Ah, alright. Just thought I'd bring it up
as most "CHANGELOG"s that you see out there grow upwards.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, hm, discussed
as in #eulora or #trilema?
mircea_popescu: if program includes this sort of thing, define stack
as max mem.
mircea_popescu: so if the init were made so
as to pass cmd line args
as THAT, ie, proiper string, ie 3 part string, ie, x + y + z bytes, then...
mircea_popescu: but no, language-
as-coprocessor does not imply any genetic linkage.

as ada is concerned, the tmsr ada is a subset of standard, that only exists in your head, and can be somewhat inferred from ffa. that's no standard

as it will run on ice40 , i.e. 'tmsr cpu'.
mircea_popescu: sellign real estate, baking home cookies for faire sale, anything that's a real activity,
as opposed to gardening. kids, plants, whatever.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes if you'rte going to use veterinarian's anesthetic, might
as well go the whole way and fuck veals, no ?
mircea_popescu: (evolutionarily, if anyone's curious, it's a key component of how they "fall in love", because there's need for some ample shutdown of higher cognitive function for the animal to permit such gross usage
as childbearing entails.)
a111: Logged on 2017-04-07 18:24 mircea_popescu: no, let's also de-equivocate think. there's two kinds of think, one's a forge/reflow/examination of trees resulting in analytical consumption of inputs with actionable outputs guaranteed ; the other is a neurotic behaviour perhaps best described
as spinning, whereby specific emotional triggers / detriggers are visited in succession. the prussian model was never concerned with the former in any sense, but merely aimed to elimi
ben_vulpes: the gist i get is that there's several physical regions that see high bloodflow when the mind is in an idle state that are correlated with "ruminantive"/"obsessive" thinking that are grouped by experts
as "the default mode network"

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-16#1834927 << i'd not distribute anything but trb patches to allcomers ~already~; if i made a useful thing i'd trivially share the source for it with l1 and rely on y'alls judgement
as to whom to further share it with but i wouldn't concern myself with preventing leaks-to-kloinkers. beyond that, i share certain specific source with a subset of my own l1 and no further, with a
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2018-07-18 12:55 phf: well lispworks has capi, that doesn't have an non-proprietary equivalent, so if your work requires any kind of gui, you're stuck with some very dodgy solutions (in the early days i even used emacs/slime
as a gui backed by ccl)
mircea_popescu: phf i was talking about the "collected people who use lisp"
as a roomful there. and i very much doubt you can't reproduce anything you effectually use. of course, couldn't vs wouldn't distinction.
BingoBoingo: I can't wait for the congress critter that start getting prosecuted
as British and German agents by the Trumpreich
mircea_popescu: but anyway, seems to me evident that the ~only way something like that could have worked was
as monastic order, ie, harem, not
as "company" ie "nuclear family" takeoff. "prove to us you can use this compiler for anything and you can move at franz hq and hang out with us / party with the hussies."
a111: Logged on 2018-07-18 15:04 phf: but for all i know they have a traditional american sales approach, where you ask them for license, and they size you up
as to how much they can get out of you, and there's pure winging it. i'm missing the "baseball in hands" part though, that's an indicator one way or another.
mircea_popescu: phf and the batshit insane situation of "x per y" doesn't strike
as altogether broken ?

mircea_popescu: THEN bingoboingo would have the following dilemma before him : either tax the one or two products in that tree dozen that are actually smarter than him even, so with the proceeds to buy crutches and prosthetics for the half dozen mongoloids necessarily included by mother nature in the discount three dozen, so
as to vaguely push them into a cvasi-semblance of normalcy

☟︎ phf: asciilifeform: you can still add a feature without violating the standard, but there's tones of features like that that can only exist
as part of compiler and also not violate a standard. lazy symbol is a particularly good example: the symbol behaves according to standard, but accessing its value "stops the world" for all practical purposes, calls some other machinery, "resumes the world" with the value provided by machinery.
phf: well, 100 ln patch to the compiler, because it can't be done
as a user proggy (e.g. (symbol-value 'foo) triggers a mechanism of some sort, without an indirection)

as there'd be a real incentive for bad actors to attempt working their way into l1 solely to gain access to source code.

mircea_popescu: all modern evil in the field flows from this original sin of the idiots involved, and no it shan't be passed in silence. had they done this right and equally flunked all other parts
as they did flunk them, we'd still be mostly-right rather than thoroughly-broken today.
mircea_popescu: it is NOT FUCKING PERMISSIBLE to "love all your sons equally". fuck you, there is no such thing, that's for their dumbass mother, because she's too stupid to distinguish cocks (and btw, if your "monogamous" "wife" "loves all her children equally", time to start looking carefully at the milkmen, they contributed to that brood
as a foregone conclusion.)
