mircea_popescu: Framedragger all bureaucracies prefer evoting for the simple reason that "representative democracy" doesn't work
anyway,
and evoting is way th fuck cheaper.
diana_coman: Framedragger, it's not the syntax, it's the whole "approach"; though if you find *that* acceptable, I guess you'll find planeshift code just as acceptable with all its 20-level dependency hell, mix-
and-match mess of concepts (hey, what IS a concept
anyway and what do you mean there is something other than interface
anyway)
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:
anyway, it's mildly amusing to watch internet people act under a very earnest notion that the portion of any one thing that they ran across has, grace to half a minute's meditation, formed a complete
and useful image in their heads.

mircea_popescu:
anyway, i suspect on the face, "the difference between stupid 5k cell brains
and smart 5k cell brains is in the yottabytes they looked at" is almost persuasive.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, the fate of the socialist empire in its eternal historical cyclicity is fascinating. so - nazis put everything on large tanks ;
and failed. but then soviets put everything on a particular notion of industrialization (steel-per-capita industrialization, so to speak)
and... failed. so the one socialist empire left standing is putting it all on "ai".
and...

anyway, to be fair here : the russians have no interest in waiting ; putin might be uncharacteristically meek, but in general a half dozen us ambassadors starting with the resident in manilla within the next week-10days is perfectly possible. at which point obama actually having the gall to call natl emergency
and set aside the transfer of power is not entirely inconceivable. after which the russians WILL sink all the us carr
mod6:
and furthermore, i guess it doesn't make any sense to continue on at all if something is missing in the flow, because even if you could side-step where the breakage is, the vpatch down stream would actually fail to press
anyway because its input hash wouldn't match the expected.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, idlewords guy is pretty much spot on as to how exactly silicon valley / "vc" etc world goes away. "Ray Kurzweil, who believes he will never die, has been a Google employee for several years now
and is presumably working on that problem. There are a lot of people in Silicon Valley working on truly crazy projects under the cover of money." this is pretty much it, the byzantines found their way towards byzantinism, will
mircea_popescu:
anyway. i have a perfectly serviceable way to harden keys for the record. it's just not ~standardized~,
and it's unclear it should be.
mod6:
and not that it shoudn't
anyway, there are some things about my implementation that i do not appreciate looking back on it.
mircea_popescu:
anyway. the divorce is required
and continuing in the current monolith sheer nonsense.
mircea_popescu:
and i have nfi how anyone fucks these 100lb, tits smaller than mine twists.
anyway.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, you're right in that the "free world" is significantly impeded in sane / reasonable reaction by the unwarranted, wholly baseless conceit that "all people matter", so they can't go on tv
and tell every woman she has a week to find a master after which will be packed on catle ship
and auctioned off in iran.

☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu:
anyway, you should see the early versions, with bitmaps
and shit.
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:
anyway, re the "world-you/i-you" dichotomy
and the nonsensical "fundamental attribution error"/"socpsy" poppycock : the determinations of others as to you are made in the context of world-you,
and correct or incorrect in THAT context ; your determinations as to you are made ~at your option~ in the context of i-you,
and correct or incorrect in that context ; or in the context of world-you
and correct or incorrect in THAT conte
Framedragger: haha! right, yeah. good to keep that in mind. (subconsciously, i think, that's why i abbreviated the term, it's pretty derp.) it's sad that some (actually) useful notions are held under its umbrella (such as FAE, even though, yes, we've probably seen the latter defined elsewhere in other ways,
and it's something that self-aware people tend to be conscious about
anyway.)
mircea_popescu:
anyway. afaik both russia
and japan still run significant (ie gigawatt) breeder designs
Framedragger:
anyway, i agree that there is a way to construct an "every" so that given a null set, it spits out true. however, "every" of what? usually there's a predicate,
and then the way you'd test "every" with a predicate is that you run that predicate on every element encountered.
and you test that it *obtains*, not that it *does not obtain*.
Framedragger: wtf is this shit
anyway. even if it's a logical operator,
and then, look: it's an
AND underneath.
and you all know the very-noncontroversial truth-table for
AND. true iff for every member, predicate applies. NOT vice-versa falsification goofyness.
mircea_popescu:
anyway. for completeness let it be stated that perceived problems of thought-computing mismatch are thoroughly a matter of perception,
and in principle can not be fixed (other than fixing the perception). it's the fundamental problem of "ai", as derided often enough here (see the "what if you name the procedures something other than "understanding" etc ; see also chomski's attacks on "ai" centered on the constructed repeating
mircea_popescu:
anyway, the problem generally is that "all things" have an ontology
and a gnoseology, which is separate
and so trivially separable even the greeks were privy to it (hence plato's ideal objects) ; except for the void, which is AT THE SAME TIME the absence of ontology
and the plenarity of gnoseology. which is to say, the same "thing" at the same time doesn't exist (ie, as nil)
and implies everything (ie, as "false").
mircea_popescu: Framedragger it's an iffy thing from my pov, because on one hand you know, you did it i should link it ; but on the other i dunno how many people'd click
and how well you're set-up for it.
anyway if you'd like a blog linked or something do say.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, to not make this entirely pointless : gtk-window-decorator --replace kills the stupid decorations ; gconf-editor allows you to set the bottom (
and top) bar position to -6 which gets rid of it.
hanbot:
anyway BingoBoingo a major lesson of the forum was that "nothing/nobody could be that fucking stupid" fails to pan out,
and pretty much every time it's tested, too. i imagine scouting stories for qntra yields the same realization.

☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu:
anyway, "png as v format" is inept beyond belief. let alone "i wish to inspect this matter
and can't use my eyes", it's worse : "suppose i want this to be 3x as large" "oh can't do that". well da fuck.
mod6:
Anyway, this is all well
and good. Just something we're working on,
and considering with the utmost care.
mircea_popescu:
anyway - the original point was how the environment changed,
and modernism is strictly no longer possible because exogenous reasons, not opened to consensusing electoralizing etc.
a111: Logged on 2016-11-29 16:50 asciilifeform:
anyway, i have neither the time (presently grunting out a much-delayed
and urgent item) nor inclination to do the entire backlog (what, 800 of these?! by now) by hand.
mircea_popescu: to some degree "society" needs them to for its definition of them to be fulfilled ; to a larger degree the currently fashionable notions of self require them to as well. but
anyway - people will lvie everywhere,
and historically have.
mircea_popescu: (basically delicious re-done,
and we all recall how that went. or no wait, was it magnolia ? right it was magnolia.
anyway.)
mircea_popescu:
anyway - even if the client src is published - it will ship with pw_prefix = "" pw_suffix ="". if you edit these
and recompile your pw won't work on stock or anyone else's client,
and there's no rule you have to compile on the exact machine you use. you can keep the src in your safe
and run object code.
mircea_popescu: yeah not a very good scheme.
anyway, convention is pw field uses $ver$pw,
and i see ubuntu sets it to 6.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, you should prolly go through your inventory
and hold a garage sale / auction. prices changed a lot since a year ago
mircea_popescu:
anyway. 10.04/10.10/11.04 are squeeze ; the rest up to 14.04 wheezy
and then jessie.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, i guess all this gives a very interesting answer to the "how does tmsr gpd compare to fiat states gdp". apparently they produce 2 gpgrams/year/capita,
and consist of what, 1k of the herbivores ? meanwhile ben_vulpes 's thing deals in what, dozens/day ?
mircea_popescu:
anyway, when i say "don't have these problems but others" i specifically mean as evident in sexual behaviour (cue that "scandal" when sarkozy took some random woman to random event
and the london-based journo-hos had a collective aneurism
and kept blathering about how they'll bus supporters over)
mircea_popescu:
anyway. the battle for mosul, originally slated to end about a month ago,
and then upgraded to end about today, has been upgraded again to take "months" hence. i think i want a refund.
phf: but
anyway, the reason why i mentioned it,
and the one thing of value that i derived from progstone is the idea of stess addiction. i'm not sure about the mechanism that he proposes, but identifying
and neutralizing sources of needless stress served me well for many years since i read it
mircea_popescu:
anyway, to expound on the whole huguenot issue : a) who expanded the medieval notion of "universitas" to a notion of "popular sovereignity" in the sense of "the people" being a unit, better
and different from its constituent parts,
and better than the king at hearing god,
and to be represented by parliaments ? b) who broke with legist theory of "tyrant = whosoever opposes the monarch" to introduce a transcription of calvin's
mircea_popescu:
anyway, it is somewhat refreshing to see the delusional dorks (self-identified as "liberals" or "progressives" or w/e) simpyl lift wholesale the aggregate production of the neonazis since the 50s, change a few pronouns
and bestseller-publish on their oh-so-important notebooks.
a111: Logged on 2016-11-26 16:03 mircea_popescu:
anyway, if anyone's keeping track, the "kow towing" must've not went all too well, because "the editorial board" of the nyt decided for the you know, "independents", "liberals"
and the rest of the us red army that the correct approach is to try
and impeach trump through the emoluments clause, sometime in 2018ish.

☟︎ mircea_popescu:
anyway, given the mechanics of the retarded user
and of viral infection, i would suspect 100% of these download-things websites selectively scam their users.
mircea_popescu: hey, i'd totally see trump go on tv first day of term
and say "all us college degrees are utterly worthless
anyway, so nobody should have to pay back anything to anyone for them."
mircea_popescu: but back to the issue : they want to be paid to do what they were going to do
anyway AND STRICTLY THAT.
mircea_popescu: but
anyway - at issue is not what is claimed / appears to be at issue. at issue is that people want to be paid to do what they were going to do
anyway,
and not, for any reason, njot ever, be paid to change what they do or how they do it.
Framedragger:
anyway, i imagine a bunch of d(a)emons fighting for i/o...
and yeah no one is saying that there's a straightforward solution...
mircea_popescu:
anyway, make a call, do i have it rebooted or let it be for a while
and see if it digs itself back out ?
Framedragger: asciilifeform: of course.
and also don't treat this as high priority, i prolly wont look at it before wednesday
anyway. but would be interesting to take a look -
and i'd take a look
mircea_popescu: but ironically, YOU don't want to v until the code's done
anyway and put it all in root. so...
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-18#1569826 << meanwhile read the source. phoronix forum lel.
anyway - funnily enough,
and predictably enough the dude plays the "commentary supersedes reality" game,
and purports to handwave the... what is it, 1.5k cracked moduli with loose discussion of a coupla imaginary examples he came up with on the spot, notwithstanding that after all the whole fucking thing is published.
☝︎ mircea_popescu:
anyway, ima go to buy chocolate
and do things, so bbl we can continue.,
mircea_popescu:
anyway. i don't think they wasted my time nor do i think myself the victim. fact is i can turn them into value if i so decide, much like the beekeeper can make candles
and honeycomb if he wants.
and if i don't want - i just don't make a fiverr account. not like they can do anything whatsoever, they can't even elect hillary.
Framedragger: the whole "patch a DNS server
and run alternative root" effort sounds interesting
and useful, but, as you said, eventually the underlying layer would need to swapped for gossipd
anyway. in gossipd, UDP/TCP as currently used by DNS may not even work. hence there may be a redundancy of effort;
mircea_popescu:
anyway, frege's own example is much better than the latter retellings in english. he used der Abendstern
and der Morgenstern.
mircea_popescu: ollege. If you are going to college to get an education
and not to meet guys, you are insane, literally insane, delusional, in reality one is never going to happen
and the other is going to happen
anyway,
and you could have gotten both for free at a bookstore. Worked for me. The only question for the future single mom is whether it's worth $XXXXXX a year to meet guys,
and the answer is of course it's not, even nightclubs l
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes
anyway, for to enlighten
and instruct : champagne proper (ie, in theregion) is mostly made of pinot
and chardonnay.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, this just in : democratic party has ~same level of political clout / practical control as the libertarians traditionally do ;
and significantly less cachet than the tea party at its peak. they're going to be content with... municipal politics, for the next 4+ years.
mircea_popescu:
anyway - trump has wi (10) by 4% with 10% left ;
and az (11) by another 4% with 25% left. that's 265. he leeads by 1% in my (16), which is very enough. he also leads in penn (20) 2706146-2680667 with ~3% still to count.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, it's over, they know it's over, moved on to soppy shit with little girls
and whatnot.

anyway; considering however that it was set for Halloween, I guess I'd go with "goriest"
and therefore BingoBoingo should win; as a side, I must say I don't quite follow the point of "all possible positions expressed" since they were quite clear/obvious
anyway;
mircea_popescu: the logic is judicious from the pov of socialist empire : the marginal utility of stem is actually nil, because whatever rocket they invent the russkis will steal
and the chinese will make cheaper
anyway ; whereas the marginal utility of
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-05#1563151 is manifest : however many are needed to brew a head of fucktoys required by bill de blasio to forget the monkey at home.
☝︎ mircea_popescu:
anyway. obama's choice (we'll prosecute drugs ; not prostitution) exactly mirrors the proceeds of eg appalachian convention
and generally the prevailing opinion in the mob. when you have only limited enforcing capacity, as you necessarily will, fighting prostitution is unfeasible.

anyway, i appreciated bb's story on account of its total lack of fear or restraint,
and diana's for its jabs, particularly the spellchecker. i'll be naming myself though, on the simple criteria of having liked it best. as far as second
and third places go i'll name bb second
and diana third, for no other reason than to see all possible positions expressed.

☟︎ PeterL: IIRC, they were slightly too big
and fell under the "dangerous weapons" regulations
anyway, should have gone all the way to mini-rpg
mircea_popescu:
anyway, it's directly evident the most rabid of libertards realised clinton ain't got it ;
and are in their grief dealing mode. pronouncements that "the election is rigged" (phrased, of course, as "this was an unedifying year" blabla), assurances that "whoever wins will be a single term president" as if that fixes anything ; even a pretense that putin will take advantage of trump. specifically. as if a) it isn't in the nature
mircea_popescu:
anyway, the point being, the miner cartel brink-of-war event didn't proceed, but "equipment" derived from it is now widely deployed,
and as you can observe it can selectively disappear txn from the mempool.

and clicked 'no thx'
and was treated to it loading
ANYWAY)
mircea_popescu:
anyway. the guy has it, the us lost air superiority sometime in 2010ish
and lost cyber presence cca 2015. they're on par with serbia today.
phf:
anyway, i want to try
and deploy masamune, but i'm also trying to spin up clim2 to see if it's maybe less of a dog (i imagine it would be since it was probably battle optimized for all that ported-from-legacy contractor software)
trinque: the guy must be talking about having x11 windows overlap,
and who does that
anyway mircea_popescu:
anyway, what is it, "now that the gays can has marriage time for furies to push into mainstream", because who could have predicted
and they've got a better shot than the child fuckers, who'll have to wait their turn ?
mircea_popescu:
anyway. your penis will break first,
and by an order of magnitude first.
