knoobie: heard of a funny story
taking event yesterday in here, so definitely decided
to join... hahahah
a111: Logged on 2018-01-07 21:01 mircea_popescu: leaving aside
the remarkable poverty of reference, i'd like at least for
the few popitems he uses
to be at
the fucking least correct!
mircea_popescu: just write out
the exhaustive
topiclist per item and
then count links.
mircea_popescu: in any event hanbot 's attempt actually suggests an approach
to quantifying
the "That
the republic readily exceeds
the literate production of
the combine of "modern democracies" should be unsurprising ;
that
they sorry shelters of
the stunted ever manage
to reach its quality is altogether dubious." claim.
BingoBoingo: And
then
there's OCLC which ends any attempt at sense and soley exists
to keep catgenders employed
BingoBoingo: Right, but
the insanity gets worse with
the Library of congress system
mircea_popescu: (incidentally,
the argument may be brought
that dewey was a
terrible cost upon human culture and ~the reason us never amounted
to anything :
the
tendency
to pick a
topic is not unlike
the
tendency
to pick a gender. "i can't
think now, since i'm a girl" sorta bs.)
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo
the problem with books in a library isn't even
that
terrifying, seeing how
they usually pick a
topic.
trilema article picks like a dozen, ikt's all about
the interlinks.
BingoBoingo: And
this is how cutter numbers get long...
hanbot: aha. well a lot of
the options on
the page atm are just an attempt
to offer...more options
to folks, lol.
typically when i have
the missing article problem with
trilema it's along
the lines of "what was
that piece about korea,
there was some history in it and a picture, and it was after 2015". not exactly an exhaustive list of checked parameters
mircea_popescu: this actually may be
the like... ONE known case
to date where i'd rather go
to
the site and click buttons
than
type in !~tadb comments=1&blabla
mircea_popescu: part of
the problem is
that
the syntax is complex, if I want
to search for something i have
to remember what's what.
hanbot: anyway i'm happy
to change
to get so stuff can be played with.
mircea_popescu: can always waylay
the possibly-useful later on, not like we don't know whose mind works.
hanbot: i was
thinking it'd have
to be checked, but sure, could open a door best kept closed, i get it
mircea_popescu: hanbot on meditation, i
think it belongs into discreet. i
think
the idea is very sensitive
to idiots "helping", you really don't want rando "contributing"
hanbot: anyway i used post over get because of
the (3k?) char limit on get --if someone has a lot of
terms
to put
through,
the url could get ginormous
hanbot: <mircea_popescu> comments welcome! << you could put grabbing a chunk of
trilema
to index in
there, possibly --though
the activity doesn't force presence/participation here in chan
mircea_popescu: but what do i know, i dun have fifty +1/+1 green beret cultural experts on
the ground
to write me briefs.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: mats i don't expect isis is more islamic
than "fuck
the us".
mats: its interesting
that isis has found sympathizers in south east asia, which has a syncretic islam
mircea_popescu: aand in other lulz from
the meatmarkets, "lady_canesworth".
mircea_popescu: PIZDI NO PILI, BITCHES! and next
time say what and where you read
that gave you
teh existential angst.
shinohai: I am pondering
that mircea_popescu ... as hanbot said it would be
tedious
to dump a bunch of links directly
to chan, so I was
thinking maybe
to a paste.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's a good
thing
the usg "coallition"
totally won
the isis war.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-09#1767519 <<< o look, when
the saudis "bought"
that piece of shit it ... wasn't "corruption" and
the saudi state very much does not need
to
take measure
to eliminate
the "corruption" of giving usg money. it's only when non-usg gets dough
that
the idiot neets need
to stand up and herpderp on social media about "corruption" amirite ?
☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: shinohai hanbot maybe posting
the form via get would allow me
to search directly ? or how'd i use
this a la !#s ?
shinohai: I'd
tell
them
to piss off back
to
their own country,
they can
try
to reclaim
the Faklands if
they want a vacation spot.
jhvh1: trinque:
The operation succeeded.
trinque: !~later
tell Birdman put a 0 in front of
that .0185
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
Tomorrow at
the meeting do you want me
to inquire if
the datacenter has space at
their hall on
the other side of
town for
tiny
thing colo, or is
that
too close when measured in internet cables?
shinohai: "There is a distinct possibility
that
the United States might have supplied
the FLIR Systems
turret
the Yemenis claimed
to have employed during
this shoot down." <<<< lulzy mats
shinohai: ^ for
those
that wish
to handily refer
to link quickly here in forum
danielpbarron: yeah i started with some lil wayne and now
they are making stuff up on
the spot i guess
l0de: I can't help it, I'm a
troll
l0de: they will eventually ban you if you go
too far
l0de: yeah
there are some good rappers in
there
l0de: those guys are cool on
that discord
mircea_popescu: in short, i don't want
to read what sort of code apple wrote ; i want apple
to never write any code again as long as any of
them live.
mircea_popescu: consider : if microsoft word worked correctly, I WOULDN'T EVEN NEED
TO READ ITS CODE. not because "oh, practically no need" but because I WOULD ALREADY KNOW WHAT IT SAID. because
there's no other way
to say it.
mircea_popescu: the point is
to force
the sort of people who are actually insane out of
the production process entirely ; and
to keep
them out permanently.

http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-22#1486970 << you know,
the proposition
that drugs enhance
the mind is not so unlikely from
the proposition
that hanging polished stones of various colors, dead parrots and other detritus from
the weights of a grandfather clock improve its
timekeeping accuracy.
mircea_popescu: also re "epicycles", should prolly link
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-22#1487207 (or
the other one, iirc we had a better discussion somewhewre as
to how actual clocks were "hacked" over
time
to catch up with
the moving solar function, resulting in
these cvasi-organic piles of patches upon patches making
the original mechanism barely comprehensible). imo
the better example ; anyone who's seen a medieval clock can't help but b
☝︎ mircea_popescu: in fact all code is first and foremost literary work.
that (some of it) machines can run is about as interesting as which kinds of smoothies flies favour.
mod6: or did i hallucinate
that?
mod6: i may be mis-remembering
this, just
thought
there was a plan
to
take
the disassembly and produce asm
that you would
then fabricate possibly?
a111: Logged on 2018-01-06 23:05 asciilifeform: if one is satisfied with
the nonoverflowability of
the array refs , under all possible inputs , it is possible
to yank'em. and get order-of-magnitude speedup.
mod6: asciilifeform: you're gonna do
the asm unroll with
the bounds checks
tho right/
a111: Logged on 2018-01-06 23:05 asciilifeform: btw i prolly oughta have mentioned,
the
timing figures (not only in ch6, but all posted
to date) presume
that ~all~ bounds-checks remain enabled.
BingoBoingo: <hanbot> also not sure it's sufficiently detailed
to handle
the occult
topics...what is
the number for anal
torture? but i'll have a looksy anyhow << It's
there.
The
time consuming part is
the cutter numbers after
the .
mircea_popescu: hanbot it can get pretty fucking 9 digit detailed. i just vaguely remember
the general leads
mircea_popescu: (tbh, i
think it's somewhat shameful
the item doesn't come preloaded as a default in wordpress ; it SHOULD by rights,
that's what fucking culture is about in
the first place, offer
the classes preloaded ffs.)
hanbot: also not sure it's sufficiently detailed

topics...what is
the number for anal
torture? but i'll have a looksy anyhow
mircea_popescu has
toyed with
the idea of replacing current "Categories" with some kind of dewey-ism.
mircea_popescu: well,
to
the sort of people who have it preloaded in
their heads, it'd offer an advantage of convenience. also perhaps machine-classifiable.
mircea_popescu: i'm vaguely curious how useful
this'd be, "article X includes 003/101/209/309/402/801/908 !"
☟︎ mod6: mircea_popescu: hey, ok! way behind on
things, but otherwise good.
hanbot: okay
then. diminunizing claims!
hanbot: ohshit, even with all
the wikileaks itams?
mircea_popescu: i suspect
that secret consists of alf not having looked at anything other
than.
mircea_popescu: (contrary
to what literary personages like
to pretend,
there's no hardware hack for
this, can parade all
the missile
trucks
they want, it's still a literary phenomenon.)
mircea_popescu: well,
the fanfics are in
the business of credibility, generally.
a111: Logged on 2017-07-06 15:09 mircea_popescu: which is how every god damned kid
that was sexually abused
through
the process of socialist schooling (which is all of
them -- education is education, and socialist school is definitionally sexual abuse of all children involved) ends up with
the idea
that newton sat down
TO discover whatever he did (unimportant, really) and
THEREFORE he did.
mircea_popescu: costs
them more
to run it
than it makes
them, but, by all means, please, more of
the wahwahwah special cuntlet behaviour, i don't mind.
