mircea_popescu: (lasts, not because chickens will become xilinx fans, but because the last people who know how it works will die, and then their writings will... BE MOVED TO NEW DIRECTORIES. and that's that.)
mircea_popescu: BAD DIRECTORY STRUCTURE. no, might and magic 6 is NOT HAPPY to find itself in a directory including spaces, ampersands and unicode's mother on a stick.
mircea_popescu: for the record, in my experience a good HALF of wine errors encountered in practice (man wants to play the games from the times when games were worth playing) are...
mircea_popescu: anyway, i got it flattened into shape, but because debugging the videocard not because googling the web.
mircea_popescu: but this isn't my point. go ahead, search yourself, it's just a pile of the usual chickens doing their usual chicken crrr-crrrr-crrrrrkkkk!
mircea_popescu: and on like that forever. i long ago despaired of trying to google error messages.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i ran into problem trying to get mm6 to run on wine ; error message search (R6034 !) yielded NOTHING USEFUL. just endless pile of imbeciles doing the usual imbecile thing "oh, you got that ? so did i. i heard johnny also did or had a friend who did hey have you tried washing hands?"
mircea_popescu: basically tries to figure out how links work to fuck with it.
mircea_popescu: inbcidentally asciilifeform as per that discussion of how much it costs to index etc, phuctor is a total google poison.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the tmsr situation is very much like, space ship landed on new planet, there's a few people and tech of unspeakable power, and otherwise a bunch of shamanic tribes on the surface. fuckable, but that's about all, their ooga-ooga language is fucking tiresome.
mircea_popescu: don't start too soon. we've not yet the manpower or infrastructure to do a google.
mircea_popescu: "you can pretty much guess what % of imbeciles make up an old, established site's userbase by what % come via search."
mircea_popescu: you can pretty much guess what % of imbeciles make up a site's userbase by what % come via search.
mircea_popescu: "for banal www as long as i don't look for things anyone in the libertard camp may object to, conceivably"
mircea_popescu: No results found for "at any rate, talk to the old trotskyists, mats , they might help.". << via the web interface
mircea_popescu: yes, i'm aware it can point me to google's facebook. tyvm it never seems to be a practical need i have.
mircea_popescu: it "does" except not this not that and not the other. which is the fucking point.
mircea_popescu: !#s "at any rate, talk to the old trotskyists, mats , they might help."
mircea_popescu: !~google "at any rate, talk to the old trotskyists, mats , they might help."
mircea_popescu: it also doesn't do anything, because yes srsly, i don't need to "google trump" to find trump's facebook page.
mircea_popescu: oh, but when i want stuff from the log i also don't google
mircea_popescu: yes dude, if you want wikipedia answers for wikipedia user's interests it's fucking great!
mircea_popescu: whenever i actually want data i have to crawl myself but people go around saying "google is the only working search engine"
mircea_popescu: except when we wanted eg framedragger's data we had to crawl ourselves, yes ?
mircea_popescu: so you know, they're doing their patriotic duty to pretend so as to create the aggregate dogvomit upon which "nobody could have predicted" in case there's any responsibility to allocate later.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: in proper terms : even the empire figured out the incredibly tenuous position of google, who a) provides no useful service and b) survives exactly out of yahoo-style ponzi scheme (as described by paul graham, one of its architects pre dot com bubble)
mircea_popescu: some dork named danluu was raving on about how microsoft sucks because google got all the engineers that exist.
mircea_popescu: exactly. so no, the svg lines aren't garbage - on the contrary, unlike netlist, interesting.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no! they aren't garbage, as you sdaid yourself - nobody would want to see the netlist, because they'd want to see the "unofficial" LINES.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform which of the two thises are you inquiring about ?
mircea_popescu: a svg also "can not be longer than the total line count"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes but irrespective, it's for the same ~reason~.
mircea_popescu: fuck 'em. they want to get into engineering school, first they acquire literacy in their mother tongue what the everliving fuck might this have had being!
mircea_popescu: one fucking step away from "this site maybe hacking, we here at google al-halala, no hack, no hack at all sir!"
mircea_popescu: then they choose to write in brainfuck and everybody goes "oh, brainfuck, modern language" rather than "oh, these idiots can't even speak english."
mircea_popescu: it may be, it might have been, whatever the fuck, same thing.
mircea_popescu: how the fuck is it that those supposedly ubervaluable engineers that don't exist anywhere else and can't be replicated (as per microsoft idiot) nevertheless DO NOT COMPREHEND the difference between the present conditional and the pluperfect conditional.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: lol /me googles "nabt", first result ? national association of biology teachers (this site may be hacked).
mircea_popescu: this is becoming quite the autonomous "net awareness" item.
mircea_popescu: ah. because boxes with the various "autoupdate" things mya do that.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger unlike to make it before jan tho. sorry bout that.
mircea_popescu: "but mp, it was simple when i made it" "yes, if i define three letter strings as various pieces of literature, i'll be able to "write" whole books by saying agafufu. so what of it."
mircea_popescu: they're the same length however, and for the same reason : item too complex.
mircea_popescu: also the reason your handmade netlist is not usable is ~same svg is not usable : too long.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i fear the only way forward is for data to be base64'd, deedbotted, and then referenced as such in code.
mircea_popescu: "oh, THIS leaf doesn't go with THAT datapile! gotta use THAT' datapile! except if you feed THAT' datapile to THIS' leaf it comes alive at night and fucks your wife!"
mircea_popescu: including data with the code is a nightmare not least because it puts state into things
mircea_popescu: (i've been running into a version fo this in eulora too ; with the art assets)
mircea_popescu: bundling data with code is a serious problem ; the v model brings it in a very sharp focus
mircea_popescu: to justify why there's no legal recourse for bad software - and guess what, it stands just as well to explain why it is better to murder and rape than to microsoft.
