mircea_popescu: noob joins
trilema, someone asks sto etcetera, noob answers.... "here's a
thing i made", and it goes over well.
mircea_popescu: if you are
to evaluate a <30 yo boy, do you want
to see his nigger records or his work records ?
mircea_popescu: i wanna see jesus' carpenting school exam work, not
that he fucking impressed a buncha journahos with his "profundity".
mircea_popescu: ges of x begot y who lived z until one falls over.
THAT is what interests you ? really ?)
mircea_popescu: (has any of
the reformed-judaism-that-calls-itself-xtianity folk even CONSIDER
to date
that it's fucking weird
their divine item was shown as ~a very competent nigger~,
talking smack in church and whatnot, but is not even CONSIDERED in
terms of his vocation ? where's
the passage in
the "here's what we stole from
torah" where it is gone into detail as
to
the quality of
the man's joints ? because
there's oodlebunches of idle pa
mircea_popescu: but yes, asciilifeform 's suspicion is very much my own --
the "chuka writer" and
the "chuka reader" circles are very close
to identity.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and so what if "Even carpenter" ? most items
that crawl out from between woman's legs can never be a carpenter.
mircea_popescu: which is why societies
that fail
to
teach basic numeracy
to girls as a collective spring up all
the
time, and quite naturally :
they are realising "savings" in
the sense of bacteriums.
mircea_popescu: teaching MOST girls basic numeracy is not actually a gain for
the most girls in question ;
the whole
thing is
that for
the ~very fucking few~ for whom it IS a gain, it is such a
thundersome gain it eclipses
the "inconvenience" imposed upon
the majority.
shinohai: A monkey hitting keys at random on a
typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of
time will surely recreate
Trilema!
mircea_popescu: we're not even considering
the point of, "could okcupid/facebook/mit/etc scum rewrite
trilema". we are considering whether "the collective of x" COULD EVEN BENEFIT from reading it.
a111: Logged on 2014-02-26 06:23 asciilifeform: channelling herr naggum: 'It is like going
to a library full of books
that
took 50 man-years
to produce each, inventing a way
to cut down
the costs
to a few man-months per book by copying and randomly improving on other books, and
then wondering why nobody
thinks your library full of
these cheaper books is an inspiration
to future authors.'
a111: Logged on 2016-05-30 15:37 asciilifeform: but i find it hard
to see how it is not obvious
that 'every sewer rat can publish' is a considerable damper on culture
mircea_popescu: ygrade", i mean
there WILL NOT, period, be anything he could have fucken found.
mircea_popescu: and i don't even mean ~subjective~ functions here! it's not a case
that "to
the exceptionally gifted as identified by ivy league, worth as he is maybe $1000 with clothes included,
the subjectively perceived marginal value of information is slightly negative. no, no, no, OBJECTIVE, you can
tell him whatever
the fuck you will and he will not have any use for it -- i don't mean "he won't be able
to find any use, above his $1k pa
mircea_popescu: here's
the sad fact of
the matter : if you plot
the HVF against
the IVF, you will discover
that
the diff doesn't get above water until far far FAR
three standard fucking deviations out in right field. for most humans information value is negative.
mircea_popescu just re-read it, and it's like... hello 1995! where were you all
these years!
shinohai: gm mircea_popescu .... well it appears
to be an Argentine, what
to expect? lol
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo do a few
trades with
the locals
to get a feeling of
the place an' report ; also gpgram me
the story of bbisp fiat holdings ab origine.

trinque: literature seems exactly
the right item
to define line of project history, both in
the obvious and vtronic sense

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-20#1773347 <-as I realised I never said
this anywhere:
this
trouble with no-pingbacks on page is part of
the reason why I have post+page for
this sort of
thing (the code reference shelf is one,
the bac data another) - so
that pingbacks can go at least
to
the post introducing
the page; ugly workaround of sorts
phf: ooh ffacalc should do
that
phf: i don't grok
the first homework: do you mean produce random computations, and programmatically verify ffa against
them?
trinque: asciilifeform: why'd it need
to know anything about it

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-20#1773273 that design input is welcome on. 1.
the intuitively correct format for
this would be
to make it a page (like
http://trilema.com/eulora-shop/ ) rather
than an article. but mp-wp pages don't
take comments/pingbacks, which im starting
to
think is
the height of idiocy.

☝︎☟︎ phf: " British 15-year-old gained access
to intelligence operations in Afghanistan and Iran by pretending
to be head of CIA, court hears"
phf: also
the whole exercise only becomes worthwhile if i can also produce reasonable html out of
the cweb source, since
there's general allergy here
to pdf/ps
phf: it's considered, i'm just
thinking from which side
to start unraveling
this spitoon
phf: by
the way, knuth's CWEB nicely solves
the whole auto-wrapped comment issue.
the
TeX part doesn't mandate newlines, and obviously does it's own formatting, but
the C part is also very aggressively formatted by
the CWEB code. specifically /* comments */ are
treated as
TeX source, and get re-wrapped according
to
TeX rules.
phf: works out
to about 170 pages of very nicely
typeset source code.
this is actually first
time i'm working with printed source code proper (unlike ascii i prefer
to work on-screen) and it's quite a joy
phf: dvi>ps i had
to use a full
tex install, because i haven't found a non-modern dvips implementation yet.
phf: in unrelated i managed
to produce a literate programming dvi out of diff's source code from first principles.
the actual content is not really a literate programing, since it was mechanically produced, and it doesn't yet compile since cat of headers and source produce a bunch of duplicate definitions, but first step.
diana_coman: hence
the end of
the line
there: "I didn't really find a reasonable way
to keep comments in"
mircea_popescu: every updatre
to a footer (eg,
the select script) has
to
take a bash script ? meh.
diana_coman: ftr I'm still on wp purely because
there has always been something else
topping
the pile; I just about switched
to statically generated pages
too but I didn't really find a reasonable way
to keep comments in

phf: gpgme doesn't
tell you if original was armored, so requires a separate check (in before gpgme is evil), it does
tell you everything about untrusted keys and source and such
phf: also one of polarbeard's, but
that one has
to be reground anyway
mircea_popescu: wtf is
the remote box even for, if not
to do
the shit i don't need supervised.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes, and alf has also never uploaded
ten
thousand images. which need
to be autoscaled in multiple sizes and so on.
mircea_popescu: the problem is
that
this intuition would seem imply
that
there are actually
TWO kinds of links, ie first class and second class, and
this is what ineptitudes like
http code 30x are
trying
to implement
mircea_popescu: 2. if i upload items, i'd very much like
to use
the already extant uploader ; but
that
thing puts everything in year/month directories.
tho i
think
this is actually a good
thing,
tell people "do not link item directly, link
the code shelf itself".
a111: Logged on 2018-01-20 14:39 mircea_popescu was considering making a similar item
too, it's a pretty good idea.
spyked is reading
the spec (
http://archive.is/FQ7P ); until now, lived with
the wrong idea
that pingbacks are a wp-dependent
thing. but hey, it looks pretty clear!
mircea_popescu: note however
the format is flexible,
there's a
tag
to announce rpc endpoint, and you can put
there whatever you want.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-20 15:53 mircea_popescu:
this is not even a fair statement : if you notice such a call in your log fail, it is YOUR item
that is broken.
the assumption
that you're pingbackable is in fact ~The Right
Thing~.
spyked: hi asciilifeform. applied your pill on my
tree, can confirm it did
the job
shinohai: Too bad 'OR 1=1/* doesn't work on
them.
shinohai: Now your
task involves getting sane output from a computer.
BingoBoingo: But is very nice
to have a day where
the
task does not involve
trying
to recieve sane outputs from
the locals
BingoBoingo: Going
to need
to get a beefier box here, likely going
to be a beefy opteron fueled supermicro box
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo did you settle on what you'll use
to offer vps ?
BingoBoingo: In other news, signing contracts Monday in
the afternoon.
This weekendś adventure setting up a MUSL webserver for Qntra.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: 99% of all
the stuff in anyone's www log is crap anyway ; going up
to 100% in
the case of facebook world.
spyked: calls should go only
to WP links
though, right? I don't remember how Wordpress did it (did it look for /xmlrpc.php ?).
though I suppose it should work either way (non-WP links would 404 and
that's
that)
