mrottenkolber: asciilifeform: yep I think thats it.
mrottenkolber: asciilifeform: But I get WARNING: asciilifeform-kills-integer-retardation.vpatch.asciilifeform.sig is an INVALID seal for asciilifeform-kills-integer-retardation.vpatch !
mrottenkolber: asciilifeform: So I dowloaded v99.tar.gz because I thought it was a cool hack, and expected the following to work: (inside the v99 directory): ./v.py -v --wot wot --seals sigs patches f
phf: that's a bit too many dirty words for my taste, but i'll give it a try
nubbins`: i would've put money on a heart attack, perhaps exacerbated by drug use, not cancer
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i think i saw this engine in person
ben_vulpes: davout: http://i.imgur.com/uH98Hyq.jpg
mircea_popescu: it's one of the best made documentaries i ever saw.
asciilifeform: i have not, but it sounds like precisely my sort of thing.
mircea_popescu: great documentary. (i'm also a crumb fan, so)
asciilifeform: 'As I said, the Washington régime is just as hated within the US as it is around the world, if not more. Trump's slogan of “Make America great again!” may sound overly ambitious, but what if his promise is to make America great again at exactly one thing—throwing members of the Washington régime on the ground and stomping on their heads until they pop? I am pretty sure that he can get this done.'
BingoBoingo: https://i.sli.mg/JytKLG.jpg
BingoBoingo: I thought JCVD was supposed to keep these things from happening in Belgium because Action Movie!
assbot: Logged on 22-03-2016 00:16:30; asciilifeform: (the real question is why usg would ever admit to it - whole point of the charade was to build precedent-setting verdict. i suppose this outcome became in doubt, and whole thing was brought to what is intended as a quiet burial ?)
mod6: i'll have to keep picking away at it.
mats: i also considered a portrait of myself, perhaps in a classic mao pose
mats: a wasps nest could be good, however, i am not strong in the crafting arts
mats: but, i am open to proposals
mats: i found a 24x36in wooden frame and currently looking for pranks to play with it (apr1 is fast approaching)
mod6: oh i got that one ref manual from 95
asciilifeform: i have the 2012 ed.
mod6: eh, im sure if i get the hang of its conventions, etc., i'll get somehow masochistically into it.
mod6: i've bee working my way though all the examples in sicp
asciilifeform: i can almost guarantee you won't like ada then.
mod6: well, we'll see when i start getting into it. ive liked playing with scheme.
mod6: yeah, i'd seen the name before, but never heard anything about it until you were talkin about it. now it interests me because bitcoin needs to work better than a goddamn 777
asciilifeform: mod6: i got into ada ~1y ago. and it was ~very~ reluctantly.
asciilifeform: sorta why i unearthed it.
asciilifeform: mod6: i also liked http://www.adaic.org/resources/add_content/docs/distilled/adadistilled.pdf
mircea_popescu: in other crazy news, i just popped (ie, got a major loot) in eulora. 1+ bitcent's worth of brave man's nosehairs.
asciilifeform: and i wouldn't listen to any explanation of how it couldn't be done.
asciilifeform: he found some toy puzzle thing that nominally satisfied, but i knew it was a sham.
asciilifeform: i begged my elder brother to give me, somehow, some ~numbers~
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> now i want to find the cartoon! and watch. << http://documents.tips/documents/carte-balaica-si-bobocel.html
asciilifeform: i can see no possible ~logic~ for announcing 'someone opened it' and torpedoing own case
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> trinque: idea was to play stupid & set judicial precedent in favour of arbitrary do-what-we-say orders << i think trinque is much closer to the facts of the field. beast doth not know what it wants not merely for the provable impossibility of such a want, but mostly for absence of a want organ.
mircea_popescu: but if you asked me i'd have thought mine was romanian
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> phf: you may have been thinking of bash.org ? << i don't think he is and i have a vague recollection of this from the very early 2000s that i also can't place
asciilifeform: interestingly, if it were not for mircea_popescu , i would have never learned this
asciilifeform: aha i found the thread
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mod6 http://cs.fit.edu/~ryan/ada/programs << you will find these useful, i did
asciilifeform: i'd like the badly unresolved eq on mine tho
asciilifeform: neato, where do i sign up!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i once met a young girl who thought she is no good with math. she was creative you see, and on her grave was to be inscribed a vintage purse rather than a badly unresolved equation.
asciilifeform: http://trilema.com/2013/me-aged-5 << got this in trilemarandom and it is mega-lulzy. now i want to find the cartoon! and watch.
asciilifeform: i esp. like the footer.
phf: asciilifeform: so i actually made an effort to go through my notes and found it immediately, http://2lmc.org/spool/. they nuked their entire log and just one static page remains, hmm
asciilifeform: phf: now this i have never seen, but would like to, if you turn it up again
trinque: that I can see
phf: asciilifeform: nah, was actual blog, i started reading it when it had coherent topical posts, but studying their history, it started as snippets and gradually acquired features. like early posts were straight up logs, later names were stripped and only text from "posters" retained, etc.
asciilifeform: trinque: no incoherence, i can remove the motherfucking nand ~here~ in this godforsaken hovel ☟︎
trinque: absent that I have to assume sheer incoherence on the part of hitler
phf: "i don't speak for hanbot for hanbot has a tongue."
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: and yes i am an arse! with no social graces! but my aspiration is that when i finally go to the woodchipper, folks will remember the pile of dead nazis, and not how i was arse.
trinque: I'm nearly done with my deedbot- rewrite; I could add this as well. deed the list of tags per $interval or something
phf: i periodically try and remember its name to plunder for ideas, but failing so far..
asciilifeform: i.e. i might have a crude emulated mircea_popescu living in my head, but not a very well developed hanbot
asciilifeform: hanbot: to clarify, i meant that i cannot presume to speak for other people, esp. ones who i have not interacted with at great length
mircea_popescu: no, i'm not. i noticed it then, and was deeply surprised she was even considering doing anything ; not surprised in the end result.
hanbot: mircea_popescu you know that line gave me pause at the time, but i figured he was entertaining the noisebox so what do i know what he's answering to. all in all though, pretty odd.
mircea_popescu: well it's good i said something then. anyway.
asciilifeform: largely as i know mircea_popescu.
asciilifeform: i know hanbot, as she knows i, largely by works.
assbot: Logged on 08-03-2016 17:07:08; asciilifeform: anyway i do not know hanbot very well, cannot speak for hanbot.
hanbot: mircea_popescu i'm really interested in 'em, dead or alive.
mircea_popescu: i was of the notion you two had previously met.
hanbot: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-03-2016#1437059 << that sounds like the most sane solution on tap for efficiency & accuracy both. and honestly...crawling back through the last coupla weeks' logs to study this i couldn't really be paid. much as i'd like to lend some time to folks actually doing good work, this place is reeking rotten already. ☝︎
asciilifeform: (the real question is why usg would ever admit to it - whole point of the charade was to build precedent-setting verdict. i suppose this outcome became in doubt, and whole thing was brought to what is intended as a quiet burial ?) ☟︎
phf: <mircea_popescu> [20:02:06] i am currently of the " ' technology won't be solving human problems ' has been deeply abused and is taking its pound of flesh" school of thought. << i failed to parse, you saying "technology won't solve" has been overused, and there's need to lean in opposite direction?
asciilifeform: this i can see.
mircea_popescu: i am currently of the " ' technology won't be solving human problems ' has been deeply abused and is taking its pound of flesh" school of thought.
asciilifeform: i do not yet know if it is possible.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-03-2016#1437604 << this is ~exactly~ what i was aiming at with 'v algebra' thing, to see if it is possible to expand the 'real part' of signature. ☝︎
asciilifeform: l0l i thought jurov had already sold
jurov: yes, and withdrawing.. and i have to ping mircea_popescu again
asciilifeform: jurov: i meant, that somebody is selling megatonnes of various.
asciilifeform: i thought whole point of wot was to a) bare your chest to the knife and b) to even have a chest
mircea_popescu: it's stress syndrome already, lifeforms fully aware they live in shit. "i'ma make myself a house!"
asciilifeform: what am i missing.
mircea_popescu: ematics is known as a pole. attempts to create a netherworld between the sharply divergent f(x) and f(x+e) is what i've recently discovered - through the usual stepping on research process - to be a landmine.
mircea_popescu: mod6 << i think so too. but the road to hell is paved with good intentions. << there is no possible division between "punishment" no matter how defined and trust in any reasonable sense. either what you say matters, in which case the world rapidly evolves towards "too hard for peoeple, who just want to..." or what you say doesn't matter, in which case the world rapidly evolves towards welfare state. it is what in math
phf: i usually fail to come back to lists, but i think i've read most things recommended on b-a, the frequency is actually low enough that you can put things in a pile and catch up pretty fast
trinque: I want lists of things. I am not a damned secretary
mod6: i dunno, maybe. need something useful to fuck around with to learn that stuff.
mod6: but I think I might take a stab at writting it in ada so I can learn that with a proper example instead.
mod6: speaking of which... if we were still going to use scheme, long-term, i'd probably re-write my vtron in scheme -- if for no other reason, to learn it.
phf: i assume we're pre-second sack (or first for that matter)
asciilifeform: i.e. to get to where i can just have the dos box.
phf: like if forced i could spend rest of life with a dos machine, can't say the same for os x 10.10, but that of course assumes that i somehow don't ever have to work, and in fact live in a "concent" for the rest of life
phf: so did i, but i mean this for the hypothetical, "move back to dos and fuck y'all" retreat :]
asciilifeform: i used norton commander's editor for 99% of things.
phf: i don't mean Emacs, but dos emacs is enough for the "i have text, i need to shape text into new text" tasks
asciilifeform: and i don't think i will live long enough to fully exhaust the excellent gamez.
asciilifeform: i will have a dos box until i die.
asciilifeform: mod6: mircea_popescu had a good article, iirc, on this. it was the last gasp of the 'my computer is mine and i know how it works' era.
asciilifeform: phf: i think we all do
phf: i have love/hate relationship with dos
trinque: as long as the filesystem in question lets me find things rapidly by searching over metadata, I will happily give up my black boxes of such
asciilifeform: if i wanted registry, i would fucking run winblowz.
trinque: hm yeah, dunno how I was getting exit 0; might've been a case of having used inferior-shell wrong earlier
