mircea_popescu: do they pump white smoke off the chimney if his dick is on the right side ?
mircea_popescu: o.O sikrit meetings of representatives ? sounds so very november parade-y!
mircea_popescu: "the golden age of all the games suck but we finally don't feel threatened by pgp anymore"
mircea_popescu is particularly annoyed because tried to play torchlight, total clone of diablo ii with ~half the ideas. i'm not sure anyone born after 1980 can even comprehend what a fucking insult to human reason that statement is.
mircea_popescu: ie, the same idiots who thought clinton can win actually think they got the platform sufficiently under control.
mircea_popescu: consequently attwood pens excited pieces about how "the golden age of x46 gaming is now".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform sure, because
https & assorted crapola of "progress" made it safe to move the box on their pc. and it is cheaper this way.
mircea_popescu: fucking epileptic trees had a seizure and took over us media production department.,
mircea_popescu: put on stage by exactly the sort of lazy, stupid and therefore unfuckworthy nitwit that used to be consigned to the margins of etsy craftsmanship and bad mary sue fanfic.
mircea_popescu: "oh men are bad and racist and let's all hold hands and have luce irigaray-level issues"
mircea_popescu: turned out to be unwatchable - the EXACT same imbecile substance.
mircea_popescu: are you fucking kidding me ? bad media is becoming deeply universalized ; i made the mistake to try and watch "black mirror" because omsone said here, it's TERRIBLE from a cinematic point of view (the idiots can't act, can't block, can't speak, can't anyfucking thing ; the whole thing's a droned on ted talk, which is the point) and now i see it everwhere. last night tried to watch film with harvey keitel and michael cain, it
mircea_popescu: so watever, tivo ? cable top box ? call it what you will, the official-media-consumption-toolkit.
mircea_popescu suffers from a chronic inability to distinguish the microsoft vermin.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform at least media consumption data comes from their netflix boxes spying onthem
mircea_popescu: it's like the girl that naturally fucks on the first date, and demands to be fucked in the ass. yes they can exist. no they don't figure in anyone's expectations.
mircea_popescu: i don't think you understand how software works. there's a very clear denied middle : it is either the product of a ~lone individual~, or else of a corporation. there is no multiple-people-work-without-usg-foundations-and-crap in most people's minds, because there isn't such a thing is most people's experience.
mircea_popescu: convertors, not a bad idea. we'll have to fix everything to work with proper rsa format anyways
mircea_popescu: ahahaha! so : according to mp's meticulously kept state archives : yes it's true one josef israel kugelmann from fritzlar-kassel (#29044 born 13may1877, prev residence munsterstrasse 60) was (and died) at dachau. his wife, ~betty~ sara, was nee plaut not rotschild.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo the solution traditionally involves starvation & leather belts.
mircea_popescu: as much as we might like the (self-unaware) lords involved, it can't be seriously argued that mit actually did much in cs.
mircea_popescu: phf hey, at least unlike the 15-20 years of "ai research", this ~actually does something~.
mircea_popescu: but hey, idiocy doesn't hurt ; if it did wikipedia'd be larger than silk road.
mircea_popescu: anyway ; the cat situation evaluates to worse quite explainably, because if woman misbehaves and woman is beaten then 1 norm is breached ; whereas if woman misbehaves and cat is beaten then 2 norms are breached. the way reptile brain works, the sum of two variables is larger than either one no matter what happens ; and larger by a fraction of the largest of the two, not by the smaller of the two.
mircea_popescu: anomie is NOT "a condition in which society provides little moral guidance to individuals". for one thing, because it's not a ~condition~, it's a situation. no, these aren't the same thing. for tyhe other, becaue individuals provide guidance for society, not the other fucking way around. the "individuals who are guided by society are called children.
mircea_popescu: nobody actually knows what anything is, do they. not anymore. just word word word word word noun verb adjective numeral whatever the fuck no meaning whatsoever to be found anywhere ; complete and total anomie.
mircea_popescu: there's no immorality involved in this for the love of all that's holy.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger if they weren't dipshits it might even matter.
mircea_popescu: who the fuck wears socks with actually nevermind who the fuck wears flipflops!
mircea_popescu: and we'll look back on the age of the "idea man" as a great again focus.
mircea_popescu: whereas scholarship will be i dunno, screenshots of "discussions" including no equations but a lot of "concepts" and lolpics. perhaps full of comrpession artefacts ot the point of unreadability.
mircea_popescu: anyway, turn towards fetishization continues. in another decade "hacking" will be collecting software tools which ~could be used~ to explore directorry structures in which commands ~could have been run~
mircea_popescu: to quote, "but my son and my daughter came out of the water and said papa, you promised you'd play!"
mircea_popescu: so much effort put into making the 30yo gorgons look like 16yo fragaria vesca
mircea_popescu: and in other randomness, let there be shed a tear today for the poor wedding photographers. i mean the expensive ones, catering to an "upper class clientele" consisting of women slightly uglier than the average with fathers slightly richer. dear god these poor people, they try. they ~try~.
mircea_popescu: today, hacking means that "o noes, we discovered stratfor was being hired to spy". dude...
mircea_popescu: it's funny, at least to me, the evolution towards fetisization. coupla decades ago, hacking meant that party a informatizes whatever system, say its satellite network, and party b hacked into the said system through the novel avenue ~and used it~ to i dunno, whatever, make itself a plate of french toast.
mircea_popescu: isn't this quite literally the definition of the term among the illiterate yet contemporaneous monkeys ?
mircea_popescu: alternatively it should be standard defense of every "hacker" : dude, i didn't hack anything, i simply exploited code to release information
mircea_popescu: in random lulz, "**UPDATE- 4/10 22:21 EST** I mentioned in this post that it was hacked, that was incorrect of me. The person who created the list simply exploited Fetlife’s code to release information."
mircea_popescu: actually no, lessee. a try's about seven seconds, and then if something's found that's about another 10. you don't always find something, but if skilled enough you mostly do, so say you gotta make 4 steps a minute. each step calls for a random radian value, which meaningfully is about 9 bits but nevertheless comes as a double which iirc is 64 bits. so you're doing 256 bits ie 4 bytes/minute.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform very much what it says on the tin, you go out with tools and materials, find natural resources, develop them and get minerals.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform your kindergarten went out of business, what can i tell you.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger if you introduce that bias you turn it into directional movement.
mircea_popescu: yeah there is that, in theory. in practice, you can't implement it anyway, walk/run toggle is all you got.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's kinda lulzy the barrett dude never showed up, seeing how we're actually doing all he aimed to do a lot better w/o really trying. but hey, such is the power of the inept.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: (this is not currently feasible in eulora ; but you could have a fixed ratio by togling walk/run each step)
mircea_popescu: and yes, alt-client for emacs etc has long been desired. if you make it happen there's eulora riches for you.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger certainly going towards player-run towns etc.
mircea_popescu: incidentally asciilifeform : actual usecase for FUCKGOATS in eulroa play : because the current mining software uses random to position the miner, the quality of the rng generator decides how likely you actually step outside of the coords you are. ie, if your rng is biased, you're more likely to go outside.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: Framedragger it already tests the limits of common understanding, with good stuff like pricing, industry models, etc.
