mircea_popescu: can't see why not. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: actually rather evident http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-04#1839388 calc. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: kinda goes for the whole thing, tbh.
mircea_popescu: though in fairness, current crop entirely unsurpassed. much better camera, much better operator, mo' money...
mircea_popescu: though perhaps there's a lead.
mircea_popescu: there's this place we visited then, that can not be found now anymore.
mircea_popescu: imagine you, they have!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it grew to at some point include a forum also, and i put a buncha cr pics from first trip there, which was teh ~only reason i considered over the years digging up archives, but was too lazy.
mircea_popescu: lmao. back when hanbot was chitlins and things ?
mircea_popescu: the amateurship ~lulz~, ie, look what we discovered and how usgtards ended up renamed.
mircea_popescu: no no not what i meant
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-04#1892255 << and besides, has book references. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform re report, ima put in the amateurships yea
mircea_popescu: https://web.archive.org/web/*/zenofeller << /me went an' searched ☟︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-04#1892248 << wtf is a walterschen.de ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: you know ?
mircea_popescu: "DERMATOL está programado en muLISP-90 Version 7.00 (03/06/91) para IBM . PC MS-DOS de Soft Warehouse, Inc. Las funciones están definidas en base a la estructura y algoritmo de la red neuronal ." << no, item evidently DID exist.
mircea_popescu: hm.
mircea_popescu: so is this the mulisp 90 then ?
mircea_popescu: https://www.cbronline.com/news/soft_warehouse_says_mulisp_90_is_up_on_h_ps_95lx_palmtop/ <<
mircea_popescu: and the derive people announced it has a lisp also.
mircea_popescu: hp made this tiny, "can't decide if laptop or pocket calculartor" item\
mircea_popescu: was the 90s thing that mulisp-xt or w/e, on the palm ?
mircea_popescu: so there's actually 3 ? ha.
mircea_popescu: i thought it was 86.
mircea_popescu: im sure eg spyked would love ot give it a gander -- maybe he thereby learns asm and becomes as smart as ave1 for one, and maybe it helps his adalisp for the other. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: you know asciilifeform ... just cutting out the asm lisp compiler and putting it on loper may be a huge boon.
mircea_popescu: i dunno what it was, but the only fucking time i threatened a wanna-be teacher with shooting in my life. dork was derealized enough to think i was kidding.
mircea_popescu: besides, derive was half-parens by weight, or more, and i liked derive fine.
mircea_popescu: it didn't even have paranthesises!
mircea_popescu: the annoying part is, i hated it so much i don't even have any distinct memory sufficient to identify wtf it even was.
mircea_popescu: i dunno why specifically it was called lisp, but it was stupid and verbose and i fucking hated it.
mircea_popescu: you will be nonplussed to hear that my only mental model for php is this "lisp" thing they had for "especially bright kids to learn how to computer" bla bla back when i was a teen.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-04#1892247 << see how comms trip you up ? had you ~said~ this much i'd have said very different things, because i entirely don't see the problem with a cl blogotron. ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-04#1892244 << manual how ? i have a script somewhere doing it for trilema, want me to dig it out ? ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: but yes, if one was aiming to alt-pantsuit jirinovski status, that's the right play.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform problem being, those are shockingly fucking stupid.
mircea_popescu: "we'd much rather not all be jack keefe, and you know what ? if we never ever mention it it's just as good as if we actually weren't. also, don't say king coon, nigger or cripple."
mircea_popescu: very much exactly http://www.loper-os.org/?p=165#selection-311.0-311.469 reasons, yes ?
mircea_popescu: but lardner, who ever talked of the most important american writer in the us ? and WHY NOT ?
mircea_popescu: there's ALWAYS a denied middle in everything pantsuit does. shakespeare, it perceives it has no choice but to talk about, because a) "too big to fail" and b) whatever, "we'll '''antibody it away anyway".
mircea_popescu: shakespeare isn't even the major problem ; the major problem are the english greats pantsuit ~deliberately~ ain't talking about, because very much http://trilema.com/2014/in-which-you-become-grain/ sorta reasons
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform can't be helped, you write in english.
mircea_popescu: never take pantsuit useful sites for granted ; they're always useful momentarily and coincidentally, because pantsuit is always more pantsuit than anything else, and the only thing pantsuit is is stupid, thus therefore useless and annoying.
mircea_popescu: there's no doubt in my mind it will.
mircea_popescu: totally must-be-done tho, lest the BingoBoingo 's of the future end up missing out on their soulfood.
mircea_popescu: aha. not much work.
mircea_popescu: should prolly also salvage http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/ but that's going to be more work than a straight download & strip headers job.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, either spyked or lobbes what do you need to make a complete gutenberg.org copy ? it IS going away, for one thing the initiator guy died and for the other thing, with their world-famous http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-15#1627828 there's no way they'll stay online all that long. ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: spyked that's what i mean. it\s very convenient when reading short footnotes
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo anthropologist ; disservice.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anything we want ot include in this month's s.nsa report ? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: need i mention that this is SUCH a wonderfully elegant device for checking exactly what we're interested in checking.
mircea_popescu: that anil dash moron with aspirations also "still around". huzzah for cheap ramen.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in continuations http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-31#1891084 of antique lulz, http://trilema.com/2014/the-nigger-a-practical-exercise/ ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i expect phf at the very least will muchly love a republican drakma.
mircea_popescu: an' also, what writings predating no longer online you mean ? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: but i must protest re your blogotron that a) whay do footnote anchors not load the footnote in a hoover overlay! and b) whay does it send no pingbacks ? (or does it, did trilema eat them ?) ☟︎
mircea_popescu: spyked nice article! it might even end up the current linkpoint for the various http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-25#1889920 lost souls, "here, we know the future" item. ☝︎☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: hence serious business.
mircea_popescu: celery ahahaha
mircea_popescu: well, jack's outbox, but anyways.
mircea_popescu: THANKEE DARLINGS!
mircea_popescu: unlike whatever large-headed thai moron struggling to figure out a pipe, i live in this enchanted world where all i need do is whine -- mp's own this-or-that regiment stands ready at the teat, to stuff it in my mouth.
mircea_popescu: http://pennyspoetry.wikia.com/wiki/Vitai_Lampada_/_Henry_Newbolt << there we go.
mircea_popescu: eh whatever it was. the idea being that some dude hearing the coxcomb going "play up" and then on the nile the same "play up" and heigh-ho ain't britain great for being dumb. something like that anyway.
mircea_popescu: what the fuck is that retarded brit poem about the oxford oarsmen that then get massacred in egypt, "and england is far" bla bla.
mircea_popescu: in fact, period baseball may at least claim the honor of being among the few sports to have lived the sportive ideal, all that jazz about "creating moral imperative in young minds" etc.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo this isn't so, had major hold on kids.
mircea_popescu: back then they had other merits to look to.
mircea_popescu: anyway. the idea that star athlete would be permitted at the table in society is "obvious" today, but was inconceivable 1919.
mircea_popescu: ny socialite burned 10-20 a week "entertaining"
mircea_popescu: it wasn't very much money at the time. at least not looking at it from an anachronistic perspective and from within a society where athleticism is the only nobility left.
mircea_popescu: #ThatTimeWhenYouStepAwayFromTrilemaForAnHourAndYouComeBackToACompletelyDifferentUniverse
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo in other side-lulz, alf's gonna come back from tea and suspect the poppies were bad or something. "what the FUCK are they talking about!"
mircea_popescu: and besides, I won't sign with Detroit for no less than $5000 at most.
mircea_popescu: i suspected as much.
mircea_popescu: gotta be possible! cuz when a man sets his mind to it, aint not anything in the world he can't pretty well fix./ or at least not want to fix anymore.
mircea_popescu: (pro tip : the odds of left handed kid born in a house where live two adult males, the one which isn't you being also left handed, being yours are perhaps under 0.1%)
mircea_popescu: and THEN, in the vein of http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-31#1891044 you wonder ~why~ the big deal about lefthandedness ? was it because lo and behold, the trait is an extremely fine discerner of parenthood, in this specific context ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: a suspicious nature's no help against lardner. he's two steps ahead of all suspicion in his tower of shenanigan.
mircea_popescu: ie, she was ALREADY pregnant when they met.
mircea_popescu: only to discover that a) it's not fucking possible she got pregnant and ready to deliver in a single season and then b) actually count the months and discover a woman he married 2nd day after meeting mid-oct is delivering him allan's baby mid june ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo incidentally, did you also go "hmm... his wife returns, pregnant, after giving him the heave-ho... evidently not his kid"
mircea_popescu: because these exact same white socks are gonna sell the world series, aren't they.
mircea_popescu: and THEN, because no, this doesn't fucking end, does it, THEN you also know the future.
mircea_popescu: this being, of course, the ~correct~ way to imagine things. jack keefe, for being an imaginary character, is actually super-authentic as well as meta-authentic.
mircea_popescu: professionally, for a living, for thirty years.
mircea_popescu: you know ? and the insanity of it is, my own harem informs me, that is ~exactly~ what gleason ~actually did~.
mircea_popescu: anyways. certainly provides well needed perspective for all sorts of local-flavour insanities. "the success and importance" of "social media", aka "for the first time ever the circumstance that we have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to say to each other doesn't seem as much of an impediment anymore!"
mircea_popescu: (Sir Cashion walnut, for the curious, is most likely "circassian" walnut, aka plain and common walnut)
mircea_popescu: t I ain't afraid of no pitcher and what is more if you get me a couple of runs I'll beat him."
mircea_popescu: and of course, all sort of forgotten lulz, like say "I says I feel O.K. and I ain't afraid to pitch against Johnson and I ain't afraid to hit against him neither. Then Weaver says Have you ever saw him work? Yes, I says, I seen him in Chi. Then Weaver says Well if you have saw him work and ain't afraid to hit against him I'll bet you would go down to Wall Street and holler Hurrah for Roosevelt. I says No I wouldn't do that bu
mircea_popescu: 1930s as 1880s, fiddy years.
mircea_popescu: 10 bucks a month rural rents.
mircea_popescu: you know ?
mircea_popescu: why is it that pretty much the only thing two of them ever have to talk about is the latest ad and the only reason they can possibly meet is to try and sell each other tupperware, or try and sell each other out to whatever ?
mircea_popescu: there is a deep an' fundamental reason "the narrative" in that sad shithole consists entirely of and exists entirely as commerciam communication aka advertising copy ; and there is a deep and fundamental reason social relations ~do not exist~ among americans outside of commercial relations.
mircea_popescu: they very much had the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-22#1816498 problem. but they did not have enough fucking sense to approach it correctly. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: now, the question is -- why did sovok leadership not simply gift the population a buncha copies of this book ?
