mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-15#1863111 << thinking about this in the interim, it is EVIDENTLY the case. "files" as in ~the fucking thing REFERENCED~ in the "file"system names aren't even first class abstractions! the drive's a BYTE device! there's no fucking files ANYWHERE except in the imagination. ☝︎☟︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-16#1863187 << this'll take some rereading ; ima take it with me on trip. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-15#1863091 << at present i believe the ~entire file model~ in unix might have been subtly broken since the very beginning, and that breakage has in turn informed the way people think about the fs/os interface so as to not notice it. because it's as you see, a widening breach, what started with atomic creation moved on to permissions, and in general... in a word, it's not directly evident unix ha ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-15#1863084 << good! ☝︎☟︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-15#1863075 << a ok. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-15#1863069 << seems likelty one of those right wing "pay low tax get economy going" things. sometimes they're used as bait and switch by govt. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: "Consumption of marijuana promotes the development and belief in false memories. The social engineering potential for this is tremendous, which is likely why Pantsuit pushes normalizing marijuana consumption. The effect on activism in the previous point is likely why Pantsuit is cautious in actually legalizing cannabis." << check it out, #metoo was really of and by and for and about potheads ?!

mircea_popescu: "In spite of the frequency with which the practice of rolling joints is carried out, skill in rolling remains rare." << this will be the written epitaph on this whole sad world. sorta like Abdulkhakim Ismailov's twin watches the epitaph of previouis reich. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: "As they succeeded, the cool is gone" << so fucking true!

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-15#1862676 << speaking of this, might as well take the time to discuss the "stub manifest" point. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-15#1862617 << speaking of which, hey lobbes, feel like adding a param to !Q later tell, whereby it can tell next it sees guy but not earlier than x hours ? ☝︎☟︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-15#1862587 << i suspek the problem's deeper here. ie, "already exists" concept may altogether be broken on linux/unix ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-14#1862411 << but if you don't care about computers why are you talking to them ? you're not ~dependent~ on it, but i presume you care to some degree. ☝︎☟︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-14#1862408 << the benefit is that if they are legitimate multi, then there's different context which is well handled ; and if they are illegitimate (in the sense of, no context to well handle) there's pressure there to collapse. ☝︎☟︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-14#1862397 << because cut-and-paste was never contemplated as a possible alternative, it was read-and-rewrite. because moving from one tree to another is exactly translation, one must bear in mind context and only implement ~the algo~. consider how we got crc32 -- we did NOT cut-and-paste from anywhere. diana RE WROTE IT! ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-14#1862386 << not at all! there's two possible ways to implement crc32 : with lookup tables, and with plain division. these are mutually exclusive. type 1 is faster, and therefore mainline. type 2 is smaller, and therefore of interest in certain contexts. therefore, at leaf=n, one has to chose : either n+1 type 1, or else n+1 type 2. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-14#1862364 << this is important. ave1 you understand the difference ? ☝︎
