hanbot: mpaa sez
topless grocery expentitures are illegal!
mircea_popescu: cuz
that's how fucking decadence goes, you get
to
the "dozen girls hanging from
the light fixture" WAY WAY WAAAAY before you get
to
topless.
mircea_popescu: i rewatched gents prefer blondes, earlier. it's "holywood
takes out all stops", but amusingly in
their quest for "over
the
top decadence" and other delicious salamis,
they have uberdressed girls
tied
to a spurious spinning chandelier RATHER
THAN
taking anyone's
top off.
mircea_popescu: how is it,
that
they'll go
to all
the
trouble but only just as long as it's not doing anything useful ?
mircea_popescu: incidentally, "every shop must have a website (with ssl everywhere!!!)" and "every customer must have a loyalty card"
trends of useless nonsense somehow haven't converged
to
the most basic sanity of, "give us your rsa pubkey,
then download your data from our website whenever you want
to, just go
to shop.com/yourname"
mircea_popescu: is it at least ascii alphabetical, or do
they do javaturd unicode alphabetical ?
hanbot: my grocer moved from listing
things on receipt by
their order on conveyor (which i diligently sort so i can do weekly accounting at a sane rate)
to alphabetical. in other seemingly miniscule
things
that end up being completely maddening. 10 mins ---> 30 mins + neckache, fuxory.
phf: but i'm not sure
the added complexity improves anything, until we go full chuck moore with a pervasive custom encoding scheme on a system level.
mircea_popescu: letters-numbers-everythingelse seems logical-er, given
that you want
to extend
the list, if at all,
towards
the end
phf: err,
the ordering of 1A+~? is +1?A~
phf: yeah, we settled on a pragmatic "sort it as ASCII", which works for me, but i need
to
think about it some more, and at least do a write up on
the subject. i mean, ascii has some funny properties, like some symbols come before numbers, some after numbers, and yet some more after letters, e.g.
the ordering of 1A+~? is +1A?~
a111: Logged on 2018-02-23 03:23 hanbot: phf anyway re your footnote four, i
think it looks great, and stolen
takes one l,
though "stollen from elsewhere" sounds delicious
a111: Logged on 2018-03-08 18:03 mircea_popescu: also fucking
terrible comments interface you got
there ; how do i know how many
there are ? before clicking on
the article ; and how do i visually separate
them, and why aren';t
they numbered and so on.

typed with jcuken but on a qwerty layout. it's an old derogatory runet
term for diary writing, but in
this case it's
the default category i use
that i forgot
to change
☝︎ diana_coman: mircea_popescu, cheers! and I'm glad ave1 asked
this actually, as it strikes me as a point where a reader would hurry in
to "optimise"
the code potentially
hanbot: phf kk, i'll shoot for
that
hanbot: no reason i know of
that i can't revert
though. alright, glad
this came up now,
then.
mircea_popescu: follow
the mainline. whole fucking point is
to move vpatching
to keccak mechanism. don't genesis on
the old style why would you.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: hanbot why would you follow
the dead branch i don't get it ?
phf: hanbot: are you using
the new differ
to produce
this?
a111: Logged on 2018-03-18 00:30 hanbot: speaking of which, i'll have a genesis of mp-wp up
this coming week.
hanbot:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-18#1788161 << sadly i have
to scratch
this; i have a genesis file but
testing etc is waiting on having a site again. i let some shit into my wine with
the nfs choice, and moreover i should've jumped on
them
the moment shitpay's final coffin nail was discussed here. apologies
to anyone waiting on it --s'not forgotten, but it will be late.

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-13#1787748 << just about, yes. i wanted a model file so we have something
to play with and
the original concept was
to have phf include it in his v
tree of his v rewrite because it seemed
the first item
that's coming out at
the
time from l1 hands ; but if it's holding you back re
tmsr-portage, go ahead and make
the sample yourself and we'll see how it works.
phf:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-13#1787751 << oh duh, missed opportunity. i
thought
the idea was
to integrate
trinque's design into code where appropriate, but it makes sense
that i could've just used
the design for my release.
☝︎ phf:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-23#1789396 << i already fixed it, but
took longer
than usual because
there was a new issue, i haven't seen before. when bot recovers, it asks additional sources for missed messages, which uses
timestamp amongst other
things for fuzzy merge.
the drift between servers exceeded
the hardcoded 15s, so
the merge was failing out on asserts. goes back
to
the ntp
threads

mircea_popescu: in other
tales from
the cave of noir, "big combo" is almost just as nonsensical as "his kind of woman".

these
things, jesus christ. NOTHING works.

mircea_popescu: right. but he didn't come up with

than he hit pause on

mircea_popescu: but so far on
the instant case, as
to 1. "the internet is right
there, it's your responsibility
to find your way out of
the pantsuit paper bag" -- well he's found
the republic ; and as
to 2. "make something of yourself, son"...
too soon
to
tell yet, isn't it.
mircea_popescu: e's no alternative" has never been devised. nor needs
to be devised, really.
mircea_popescu: for which reason, going with
the only available alternative is not unethical -- it's outside of ethics altogether (which, for
the record, is not "morality" or blabla. ethics is
the science of making correct choices, nothing else). obviously in practice
this is conflated with wilful blindness, where
the agent ~pretends~
to not have had
the alternative ; and better whip for stirring idiocy
to action
than
the false call
to "ther
mircea_popescu: yes obviously once
the choice is presented it's
the job of
the mind
to choose correctly. but
the entire job of management consists of being provided
two or more alternatives at all points and picking one.
there's no such magical chosing absent alternative.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: diana_coman you know, like
the correctly working cunt gets wet whether it's rape or dad or whatever context. which is why "consensual nonconsent" or "DD/lg" are not
things for 12 year olds.
diana_coman: that "correct" reaction sounds correct only for all sorts of definitions of "working mind"; dunno, working but un-reflecting; working but not worked; working blindly or something of
this sort;
to me it reads: "when in a broken environment,
the correct reaction is
to break yourself
too as much as possible"; perhaps it is, along
the lines of: one can hardly do anything else in
that situation anyway so might as well extract
the short-term app
mircea_popescu: this
then is
the gambit of socialism :
that it'll manage
to maintain
the breakage long enough so
that every 20yo with a working mind ends up a "web security expert". it's certainly a better approach in "threat control"
than ritalin, seeing how it's "invisible" (to
the afflicted eye it's quite hard
to see. unlike
the pill.)

the ~other~ engineering heuristic
that's absolutely imho grand, and
that i stole from mircea_popescu , is 'there is not a mechanical substitute for coming
to an understanding with
the people you live and work with'
mircea_popescu: this has
the unfortunate correlate of implicitly
training
the best in
the population
to be
trivial idiots (and
thus manipulable), much like life in mine
tunnels
trains eyes out of mammals, or
the life of sicilian mineworking boys bred symmetry out of
their gait.
mircea_popescu: uncle al's expression is "insistently rewarding poor performance breeds ennui" or somesuch, but
the fundamental problem is
that
the ~correct~ reaction of
the working mind confronted with
the broken system is
to... exploit
the breakage.
mircea_popescu:
http://logs.bvulpes.com/trilema?d=2018-3-22#317465 << i'd add a
third, which is "the insistence on
the
trivial case".
there's a fundamental
tension at work here, because we call it "exam
taking", but bear it in mind
that
the presence of exam
takers is not a flaw in
the population, but a failure of
the system!
trinque: What, you
took a day
to go from "I'll root yer shit!"
to "I-I can perl some logs..."
trinque: It does not mean you
trawl
through
the logs hoping
that someone made all his wallet operations public.
trinque: It means I ask you "give me
the balance of $x" and you respond correctly,
to my satisfaction
that you could do it for any account.

the line

tho. May be
the cleanest
that way actually.

though, plate been kinda full of late.

tar
the plugins up for you if you need 'em.

though.
