to you. Either you accommodate yourself
to
the unreasonable, or you play out your life in some futile back alley. You are doomed
to
this by
the disgraceful history of your kind. Maybe it's fair, maybe it's not, but it is
the way
things are." << from another schmuck with a nobel prize.
ben_vulpes: serious wordsalading: "The need
to protect sensitive information being sent during war
times can be attributed
to
the development of various encryption
technologies, which are now widely available
to
the general public."

taking something uttered by usg asset as words rather
than "o look what kitten did with its own faeces!" is a little weird.
trinque: and
this as a crude option
trinque: what congestion; pay more
than what half
the mempool wants
to pay, what?
jhvh1: asciilifeform:
The operation succeeded.
BingoBoingo: It's
this
thing where
the children imagine
they've
transcended mommy and daddy's church only
to plagiarize it
BingoBoingo: * mircea_popescu recently saw "looper", a nine MILLIONTH!!! same retelling of here's whart we ustards managed
to steal off
the bible, whore (single mother!!!) and repentant sinner (junkie!!!) save baby jesus <<
That's half of US film between 2001 and 2015
mircea_popescu: have you been
taking snark classes along
the sanskrit phf ?
state_bits: Yeah I'm
trying
to keep up with it as much as possible
lobbes: state_bits you read
teh logs? If not, you should!
state_bits: Hello, been lurking
trilema for a little bit. Figured I'd join
the channel and learn more about
tmsr and bitcoin
mircea_popescu: i always
thought it's just "get
the preppy demo" attempt of
the pulp
to expand.
lobbes: Oya. Hence
the "premise alone". Falls apart rapidly beyond
that, but I appreciate at least
the attempt at "jesus/aliens ain't coming
to save you; save your fucking self. Get over and embrace your fears, etc"
mircea_popescu: lobbes except for
the part where
the way
these "resources" work in his case is exactlyu contrary
to
the way
they work in every other case.
☟︎ lobbes:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-11#1769401 << Somewhat relatedly,
this is why I've always preferred
the "Batman" over other american superhero lore, at least on premise alone. Roughly
the only "realistic" one of
the bunch. No magic flies ingested, just a dude who leverages his large pool of financial -resources- and goes out and does vigilante shit with it.
☝︎ shinohai: Could
this be a project for us danielpbarron ?
mircea_popescu: the new
trend is recycled 1990s fashion models. except a) fucking little boys is no longer fashionablr and b) what was acceptable in 1995 of 16yo "women" because 90s and gayness is not acceptable of
the same women aged 40
today.
phf: yes, but nobody's produced illustrated version of bible where all
the womens have large, barely covered
tits
mircea_popescu: canned fucking
tomatoes are not even worth eating in
the first place.
mircea_popescu: "what, you mean walk out of
town ?" "WHAT FUCKING
TOWN!" "but... but... it could be dangerous." "Bitch..." "think of
the children!!!"
mircea_popescu: "oh, great day
today, we found walmart surplus cans, rather
than
the usual polish crap"
mircea_popescu: phf suppose you live in arhangelsk oblast, and suppose all
they ever serve is some derivative of supermarket food. mostly, canned
tomatoes.
mircea_popescu: and
the fact
that
they're all stolen from new
testament cliffnotes particularly irritates me.
phf: the woman
twist is just a modern
twist on american lore
phf: well, it's pious
tzadiks writing revenge porn on goyim, which somehow fell on fertile soil in
this country.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: (and by
the way -- martial arts ARE FOR MEN. it dun work for women. AT ALL!)\
mircea_popescu: "why do any work, just wait around
to be knocked up by god and
then get a divorce settlement from god court" ~= "action movie" ffs.
mircea_popescu: you'd
think everyone is away fighting
the aliens or some shit, and
this is what happens in
the meanwhile.
mircea_popescu: whole fucking pantsuit world cinema is entirely "man puts magic into woman belly and
then activates it and
then woman wins" wank.
mircea_popescu: no
they don't even have
to study anything, evil patriarchy will put magical blue pills in
their
tummy and
then beat
them into activation see, and
then LUCY will become divine
through downloading magics.
phf: yes, but what if
they study martial arts
mircea_popescu: i so
totally need
to be
thusly saved, really, any lazy fat slobs wanna save me ?
mircea_popescu: whole lotta
that nonsense, "i was SO SAVED!!! by
this woman!!! HER LOVE!!!!" wtf, substitute symbol for "Sat around on my couch eating my chips", really ?
mircea_popescu: it was god awful,
that dumb bitch is like "threatening vagrants" and going about
that huge farm house as if mommy-usg is
there
to protect "her freedom of choice"
mircea_popescu: amusingly enough, soviet attempt
to industrialize culture fared just as miserably.
mircea_popescu: so yes,
the impression
that
the whole place just spins
the same ancient, dog eared retelling of
the same stolen story and
therefore
that everyone
there is braindamaged has A LOT
to do with
the attempted idnustrialization of culture.
mircea_popescu recently saw "looper", a nine MILLIONTH!!! same retelling of here's whart we ustards managed

phf: but
then (presumably since i've not read en) brandyskoks or some such is probably original english, and preserved
phf: all
the names
that are "common
tongue", got russian
translations
phf: well, since you've not reread, i've noticed
that
they creatively munged
the names.
phf: asciilifeform: i've started rereading lotr while i was sick, but i'm reading
this 1992 russian edition.
apeloyee: would 'doon' be a good replacement for "dune" books? because I recently compared Bored with
the Rings with
the original, an' find
the original insufferable. 'hobbit' at least doesn't pretend
to be any more
than a fairy-tale for children.
phf: it's
true, first rts is dune universe!
mircea_popescu: (because yes --
this is
the fundamental
truth of computers -- rts is scifi and
tbs is fantasy and fuck anyone who genderconfuses!)
mircea_popescu: i never cared for
the
twitch-style "competitions". besides, who wants can quake, no need for fantasy rpg, let him have his sf and choke on it.

the archs -- lattice ice is analogous
to children's
toy 'lego' where you get 9,000 identical bricks; xilinx ( and altera, and
the 'adult' lattice fpga on fancy dev boards ) are analogous
to... i guess
the 'erector'
toy, where
there are a certain number of fungible pieces, but also ~a~ motor, ~a~ heavy iron base, a quantity of gears, etc.
phf: is
the new api still going
to support real
time? i
take it you basically have
two
types of data communicated: spreadsheet mgmt and
the sword swinging. right now bulk of complexity is from
trying
to cary spreadsheet data over sword swinging api (which i
think is basically just a giant enum of msg
types
that can be packed into a udp)
phf: joke (?) re blender was
that
the original blender "consumer came
to expect" was
the rewrite of
the NaN's idiosyncratic gui into slightly less idiosyncratic gui
that current version of blender has. i
think happened around 2.03
a111: Logged on 2018-01-11 16:45 phf: diana_coman: yeah, i remember
the python 2/3 rants in logs here
too. i
take it s.mg at
this point mails CDs of prefab player AND developer environments
a111: Logged on 2018-01-11 16:05 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: boots
that can
take ~removable~ (check into baggage when going by airplane) iron plates would be spiffy imho
a111: Logged on 2018-01-11 16:00 asciilifeform sometimes sees photos of africans, straw ebola huts in background, wearing 'nike',
tshirts, etc. and wonders if
typical ameritard viewer sees 'ooh hey
they get Real Clothing, Like Us' rather
than 'hmm why am i dressed like ebola african'
a111: Logged on 2017-12-13 18:10 mircea_popescu: affiliate. "Hi,
this is Bill from Cleveland, and I blame liberals." Son of a bitch, why didn't I
think of
that.
The system not only pays poor people, it employs lots and lots of almost poor people. I'm not saying
this is a good
thing, or a desirable
thing, I am simply stating a fact. Some of
these are direct government jobs (e.g. staff down at
the SSI office) and some are pretend private sector jobs. If you're a psychiatrist
mircea_popescu: moreover,
there's a whole population of ustards who are entirely invested in
this as a lifetime choice. dood with "Degree" in nothing in particular firmly depends on
the whole social security infrastructure in place being continued.
apeloyee: asciilifeform: if he does,
then not Officially.
mircea_popescu: ie, out and out "we got a line into
the oil pipe, now we need mass
to swing it!" joy call of
the nigger.
mircea_popescu: apeloyee o you have simulators
too now ?! but yes, "we are now entering a littoral combat quantumship era, where
the fiatola conduits are well in place and
thoroughly divorced from results, so all you disgusting niggers listening in -- know
that it's a "safe" field in
the sense your "criminology" degrees are."
apeloyee: ale Quantum." Does anyone read it as desperate 'we now are entering an era of quantum computer which wouldn't be all
that good even if it worked ("intermediate scale"), and it doesn't really ("noisy")' or my mircea_popescu simulator is broken?
apeloyee: Meanwhile, one ardent quantum computerist, one John Preskill made a 'keynote speech' or whatnot
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1801.00862.pdf "Even with fault-tolerant quantum computing still a rather distant dream, we are now entering a pivotal new era in quantum
technology. For
this
talk, I needed a name
to describe
this impending new era, so I made up a word: NISQ .
This stands for Noisy Intermediate-Sc
mircea_popescu: and i can't quite shake
the impression
that someone over at pantsuit hq actually imagines
they "won"
teh global warming lulz.
mircea_popescu: consequently
taking something uttered by usg asset as words rather
than "o look what kitten did with its own faeces!" is a little weird.
