mircea_popescu: for that matter, "ai" wouldn't be confused with a large bank of switches.
mircea_popescu: if the average programmer were literate as opposed to marginally qualified clucker, a) configuration wouldn't be confused with programming and b) vice-versa either.
mircea_popescu: and the whole thing relies on a certain blindness of "why is the tomato green on your cash register but blue in my plate and shouldn't tomatoes be red to begin with" which is the very bread and butter of both "mit is the premier science and technology institution at the world series" as well as "thank you for your leadership we will conqueliberate mosul in two weeks three years ago. or four."
mircea_popescu: phf i fear the matter was more in the vein of "mcdonalds has hieroglyphic rather than numeric cash reigsters because it uses monkeys not people to operate them"
mircea_popescu: diana_coman i guess the rurality point is actually very apt. just because the monkeys got force-moved to urban "developments" doesn't mean they're not still retarded.
mircea_popescu: i suspect this was built by autoshitter emulated on human head.
mircea_popescu: and no, it's not syntax. if it were, " minutesToDegrees" would be AngleMeasure.Variable.MinutesToDegrees
mircea_popescu: there's a problem with these "obvious" things that are only ever obvious in retrospect.
mircea_popescu: i dunno, how the fuck am i to come up with "DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay" ?
mircea_popescu: it's very bad not because of the computer, which nobody fucking cares, but because it stupids your head.
mircea_popescu: phf yes of course it's not good or bad, "all turing machines are equivalent let's malbolge nao"
mircea_popescu: and they honestly imagine THAT is what people use emacs for, also.
mircea_popescu: at some point someone recounted me an anecdote about the indian minded programmers using like a dozen empty for loops in lieu of sleep ; and then when one was hired to optimize the code he did a nested for loop, the inner being one of the previous and the outer equal to their count.
mircea_popescu: re you know it you reimplemented openssh in blockchain technology).
mircea_popescu: i suppose he has a point - and if you're trying to make one of those clock walls, you'll just you know, paste down the code three or five or n times with various offsets on the TimeSpan timespan = DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay; plus should one of the clocks have to go backwards you'll paste the code once more but put a minus somewhere (which maintenance will take off because automated bounds checking indicated they should - and befo
mircea_popescu: apologies to the participants, but this fucking belongs in here. THIS IS NOT CODE.
mircea_popescu: Quaternion.Euler(0f, 0f, time.Second * -secondsToDegrees);
mircea_popescu: Quaternion.Euler(0f, 0f, time.Minute * -minutesToDegrees);
mircea_popescu: Quaternion.Euler(0f, 0f, time.Hour * -hoursToDegrees);
mircea_popescu: 0f, 0f, (float)timespan.TotalSeconds * -secondsToDegrees);
mircea_popescu: 0f, 0f, (float)timespan.TotalMinutes * -minutesToDegrees);
mircea_popescu: 0f, 0f, (float)timespan.TotalHours * -hoursToDegrees);
mircea_popescu: every method can in principle be *fast* from a certain perspective, horseback travel is blazing cca 1100. but for making a clock appled my time budget does not exceed a quarter hour nor am i willing to do much more than A COUPLA LINES!
mircea_popescu: you can't EVEN GET IT RUNNING today. forget build anything.
mircea_popescu: did you just say "it doesn't work but it's the usg.offer for the space and therefore it must be respected" ?
mircea_popescu: and plox do not tell me "i just assumed it does because it is the usg.this-thing and i automatically assume the usg.this-thing in all cases and for all things offers".)
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes pray tell why do you recommed unity in favour of eulora ? eulora bots exist as a matter of fact, with people hacking on them and repl-ing the results after a 10 minute compile. what equivalent to this does unity offer ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: fancy we're at the sad stage of decay where i am going to use a vague memory of another as to something i myself said as a reference point.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform do you happen to have link to original discussion of older us male who goes to orcland under delusion of being roman army veteran, gets used as cattle by locals ?
mircea_popescu: hm pretty sure there must be an option for redirects somewhere.
mircea_popescu: (and no, the above truth isn't "about primes" anymore than the golden section is "about a4 paper".)
mircea_popescu: at least in my head this is the deep reason alf's hatred of arithmetic transfgorms makes sense to me.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, there must also be a "timing" attack that relies not on time but on properties of integers. and no i don't mean birthday attack - if your hashing is an arithmetic process then necessarily the fundamental fact that "primes count is log integers count" in some sort of restatement is going to bite you somewhere.
mircea_popescu: OF COURSE there's going to be c code in python, what, are you racist ?
mircea_popescu: nobody fucking wants to REPLACE anything. they're just building an open society where everything can live side by side blind to any considerations of identity or heritage.
mircea_popescu: why does "Apparently this issue is fixed on pycrypto's development branch with commit 8dbe0dc3eea5c689d4f76b37b93fe216cf1f00d4, but this change can't be applied directly to the latest pycrypto release tarball; too much has changed." not read "we should have fucking written it all in v last year" is anyone's guess.
mircea_popescu: when in the blink of an eye you suddenly know it's fucked
mircea_popescu: currently, trilema month stands at 32 days, and there's 11.40 of them / year
mircea_popescu: anyway, i think it's poetic, like a month that keeps increasing in day count as i add more pictures. a sort of bizarre astronomy of a planet that slowly distances itself from the sun thereby decelerating and thereby more and more earth days are needed to complete its monthly cycle.
mircea_popescu: works on the basis of decimal(hash(date string)) mod banner count.
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, i've had trilema changed so that it publishes a "random" header each day out of my apparently extensive collection of 32! different ones.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes which one is a "modal" ? "carousel" is that stupid shit when pics keep scrolling like a 2.0 version of <marquee> right
