asciilifeform: i haven't tried to plant the thing on iron, as of yet. nor do i know whether the author has.

ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: they have their place. i find it convenient to have tests when rewriting large swaths of a thing either i've written: with the behavior codified, i don't have to manually poke at the thing to ensure that it still behaves the way it did before i tore it apart and put it back together.

ben_vulpes: i think you may have even cited that before

mod6: I'll try to chat you up later tonight.

mod6: shinohai: thanks for doing all that testing on V. looks like I might need another round yet before tomorrow.

mod6: ok everything passed. I'm glad I wrote all of those. makes regression testing on core functionality like this so much easier.

mod6: i've got one more spot in the code to change out 'each'

mod6: i've re-written the traversals of the map for ante & desc and my new changes passed the automated tests.

asciilifeform: (hey it beats scatology - who am i to talk! i'm writhing in the guts of winblowz kernel presently...)

mircea_popescu: " there should be no instinct at all to defend such a jerk, and yet----- and yet that is precisely the instinct many people get." << check it out, usg wants monopoly on orcdom now. IT can defend the outcasts so they can terrorize the cattle, i'm not "allowed to" because hey, there can be only one and it can't be me, amirite ?

mircea_popescu: funny how this happens, on perhaps 1% of articles, i actually want to add more stuff in the morning.

mircea_popescu: now I fucking need it too.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i see!

asciilifeform: it is difficult not to be reminded, reading this, of the legends re: icbm cables with differing pin counts being pounded in with a sledge (from ru literature, obviously pertaining to sov rockets, but i'd be surprised if similar legends did not circulate in usa)

punkman: I guess this happens every other year http://www.salon.com/2000/05/08/judas/

asciilifeform: how did they go about, i might ask, 'determining why the man did not attach it' ? with a seance ?

punkman: I guess the easy way to do it might be a harness around your armpits

assbot: Logged on 07-11-2015 16:11:21; asciilifeform: i find the subject of 'theatrical noose' interesting. how does it work? are there multiple schemes? have there been notable historic snafus with this device ?

asciilifeform: i'm also at least vaguely aware of at least one case where a prisoner arranged to be hanged on a theatrical stage, as part of a performance

assbot: Logged on 07-11-2015 07:21:15; punkman: asciilifeform: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfpq5dKnYJs << I dun get it. fake-stoning could be fun too

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=07-11-2015#1319176 << when i ran into the linked film, i sorta assumed that something went wrong and at least one of the gallows birds really did hang properly. was very disappointed to learn that this was not so. ☝︎

assbot: Logged on 07-11-2015 06:51:36; mircea_popescu: i<asciilifeform> 'yellow' is, one might suppose, wet pants ? << dja know the stephen the great jokes ?

mircea_popescu: i confess to being slightly obsessed.

punkman: I feel like I've read that one two dozen times

trinque: focusing on the things I've neglected sitting at a keyboard too long

trinque: plenty of eye candy over there; I did various machine press, curls, that weighted rowing machine

BingoBoingo: Both. I think his big role this year was as a giant robot who gets killed by a purple dildo.

mircea_popescu: "I'm pretty sure that's Charlize Theron, not Scarlett Johansson." And I'm pretty sure they're the same person, and just because now she's Rachel Maddow doesn't mean she's serious.

mircea_popescu: "In the world where the media postulates social media as an absolute requirement of the modern era-- the era where everything is fetishized-- no one is permitted to make the distinction between a value and the picture of a value, they are made equivalent, so daring to criticize Randi's baby pictures is made to sound like misogyny or misobaby. It's not. I love food but if you ask me to look at a picture of a food I wil ☟︎

ben_vulpes: mod6: i see

mod6: asciilifeform & all, I've added one more change to V for the forthcoming version of 99998: People have been letting me know that if their system us using a version of perl less than 5.12 that it's been causing problems. So i've added a statement that requires a minimum of 5.12.

pete_dushenski: re: 'conpherences' : http://www.conventionbusinesstravel.com/events/growth2015.aspx << looks like i just missed one in my own backyard, featuring speakers that include, and i couldn't make this up, a magician.

pete_dushenski: and even still, i think panta's mom would get a kick out of seeing him pull it off

mircea_popescu: but yeah, i imagine the regulotards are prolly livid.

BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: I'm not so sure

mircea_popescu: "no, i'm sure it's just a crazed ruiu acting alone". obviously.

shinohai: I was unaware they had that sort of outfit in "Oh my God it's coming toward us!" sizes.

shinohai: I dunno but it just cost pete_dushenski a bitcoin.

shinohai: I must banish that from my memory with a pricey escort. I may send you the bill pete_dushenski.

shinohai: I just like the cemetary, awesum place to get married, quite beautiful in my eye.

ascii_field: shinohai: yes but am i missing something

mircea_popescu: <pete_dushenski> though i grant that some actors only have one character, but we shouldn't even know the names of such fungible plebes << like who, bogart ?

pete_dushenski: how newspaper mentions, hits, views, etc. would be measured and compensated remains an open question. and one of considerable interest to me personally. so i'm chewing on it.

pete_dushenski: it's one thing for me to represent tmsr~ to fishwraps as a voluntary service, correcting issues in 'news pieces' when and where i see them and acting as a point of contact for future inquiries

pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=05-11-2015#1317770 << now that i see this has been awarded a priority at the level of 'Thing,' i'm giving more thought to what this might look like in praxis. ☝︎

pete_dushenski: though i grant that some actors only have one character, but we shouldn't even know the names of such fungible plebes

mircea_popescu: "It is a kind of extreme method acting; call it ironically absurd behavior." << i knew "method acting" was fucking stupid the moment i heard of it

ascii_field: 'thank you - you have showed me that i am not an addict.'

punkman: from the department-of-mailing-lists-I-didn't-read-but-saved-it-anyway-because-maybe-sometime: http://dpaste.com/16WQEP7 Organizing the World's Delusions

trinque: though I would've otherwise said the same

trinque: ^ this I think is just focus

kakobrekla: i enjoyed the subjective time dilation experience

mircea_popescu: What you don't see is that this logic isn't even self-justifying, it is self-destructing. Not "since I have sexual problems, I wish I had the drug"; but, "since I wish I had the drug, I have sexual problems." Since I wish I had the drug, two hours have already gone by. I'm staying in tonight.

mircea_popescu: rdis, then I would know how to pilot it. If such a drug existed, then my sexual problems would all disappear.

mircea_popescu: Because picturing yourself exerting power is fantasy; imagining yourself as victim is easy. Which is why you brought this all up. You spend a lot of your waking life creating elaborate fantasies of power that contain their own self-justifying logic, and those fantasies are so numerous that added together they actually take up a real portion of your day. A portion you're not spending on something else. If I saw a Ta

mircea_popescu: which takes us round circle to viagra : yeah, i don't take it either. because i happen to be satisfied with the sex. because the women i fuck rock. because etc.

mircea_popescu: "i must be immune"

mircea_popescu: i take it as a personal point of pride that i've yet to discharge a weapon and NOT HIT SOMETHING.

ascii_field: as i said, most of the takers want 'world for nothing'

trinque: considering the multiple placebo effect threads, I would not be shocked to find believing "I am about to enter a hyper-aware state" is all there is to it

ascii_field: i could use 4-6

ascii_field: (not really, because i would not wish this on a friend. but you get the idea)

ascii_field: i would like to see how much attention mircea_popescu would pay if he NEVER got a full night of sleep

trinque: perhaps; I would not know. as with modafinil, would mircea_popescu say "yes, this is called paying attention, you idiots"

ascii_field: and i realize that most idiots want to get a maxint from a zero

trinque: with a great deal of discipline I'm certain one can observe himself in the same manner with no such substance.

trinque: ascii_field: you know very well I'm merely saying "not drunk/high"

trinque: I have seen both, certainly. Chicks that take all kinds of substances such that they never have to look at their model of the world with clear eyes

ascii_field: 'i figured out that being me sux, i'd like to be somebody else'

trinque: kinda what I'm saying

trinque: I would accept that in the vast majority of uses it's regressive

trinque: "I am the 3rd coming of Jesus H Christ" or whatever, even worse

trinque: jurov: your observation about yourself is not unlike experiences one might have on acid, in the ballpark of "this entire system of ideas that forms the world as I know it is built of assertions accepted within this universe simulation in the mind" which might be an excellent argument for the general population not having access to the stuff

mircea_popescu: "oh i've been raped". no, you haven't, you were whoring out. "but nobody asked me" yeah, they did. "i'm just here for the free food" well... enjoy the extra protein. actually natural.

ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i am speaking of those who did not buy

jurov: there was ample evidence i am wrong

trinque: oh I got ya

mircea_popescu: i'm confused. what are you trying to say adlai ?

trinque: I am quite backed up on things deedbot- needs, but am aware of most of them
