mircea_popescu: people dun wanna publish, they shouldn't publish. if they publish, it's published.
mircea_popescu: #trilema, pissing on "right to be forgotten". since time immemorial.
mircea_popescu: i can just go to archive.is, put the url in and see the page.
mircea_popescu: yes yes, i mean if later i'm trying to read the logs, say in 2020, and we're discussing webpage of retard x
☟︎ mircea_popescu: so i don't actually need to know what it was archived as.
mircea_popescu: it has the advantage that if i later search for the link it pops it
mircea_popescu: adding a !#wws mircea_popescu for "what would mircea_popescu say" can't hurt anything
mircea_popescu: yeah, by now it's becoming evident that gossipd is to be delivered with a config file and a VERY LONG helpfile.
mircea_popescu: just take however many lines of x person here, create however many bogus lines, put on your blog or w/e.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger thinkl about it though : if they coincide, and they also coincide in the same second, all that happens is that your lighthouse... skips a beat.
mircea_popescu: in other news, apparently it is impossible to establish the calorie value of garbanzo beans. "somewhere between 80 and 150" should be good enough for anyone!!1
mircea_popescu 's naive notion of microtime would be "returns cycle count", and since all instructions take at least 1 cycle...
☟︎ mircea_popescu: but for my own cluing-in : is it possible to write code so that you obtain the same microtime value from two separate calls for it ?
mircea_popescu: perfect. feel free to use whatever archive services you prefer, also. i tend to like archive.is, but it's by no means the only one.
mircea_popescu: multiple/all bots doing this would not cause any problems either.
mircea_popescu: trinque i'm all for it, but feed it to me. i dun code much.
mircea_popescu: esp if a specific sexpr format should be included there.
mircea_popescu: trinque pete_dushenski : !!subscribe missing from your docs eh.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: shinohai trinque phf Framedragger any of you wanna get the links autoarchive thing going ?
mircea_popescu: which in practical terms means the usg is taxing a further 10% of the whole gdp, on top of whatever it admits to
mircea_popescu: check it out, the pistol on quadcopter thing a lot more workable in practice than in alf's theory ?
mircea_popescu: (the joke being, for the physically innocent, that sound is shockwave in gas, and consequently getting gas to move faster than sound is a challenge.)
mircea_popescu: "you're a very pretty boy, explain your lighthouse mechanism".
mircea_popescu: possible. the problem there being that the concept itself is like recursivity - poorly understood.
mircea_popescu: most people approach spec work as a positive endeavour ; which is why mine read so bewildering at first.
mircea_popescu: large part of spec's job is exactly in the negative. a good spec allows me to construct a complete negative of the item. this is much more important than commonly realised
mircea_popescu: and this is rather what a specification is. doesn;t allow you to produce a human ; but it allows me to reject some of your "human" products as not-human.
mircea_popescu: those two decimals, 4 significant digits, are actually accurate over the fucking population. variations are rare and slight.
mircea_popescu: yes, but that's an anthropological measure, of the ilk of "femur length in humans is 26.75% of height"
mircea_popescu: anyway. standard allows you to (predictably, ie, unsurprising to third party) accept or reject instantiated examples. this does not automatically allow you to instantiate examples, though it very often helps.
mircea_popescu: intercourse lasting above ten minutes with female capable of orgasm on command with pelvis sufficiently toned to appreciably seal on who is serious about and dedicated to the task of pleasing the cock.
mircea_popescu: the part where you can spec things that don't actually fit in head. for instance, i can specify "a good fuck", or "an acceptably behaved slut" or "a boring housewife"
mircea_popescu: i can say "the population of argentina has a total sum IQ of 170 over ~40mn people" ; this may be so or not, whatever ; interpreted by the reader. you can ask "o yeah, if you can build things then how would you go about building folded hypercube ?". to which i won't answer. for the reason. are they both caricatures ? maybe so. does that do anything ?
mircea_popescu: depends how you define better. but it stands in a way the question does not.
