trinque: so I don't think I disagree, just that "who says it's reckless?"
trinque: I wasn't, but I see the sense in it.
trinque: but if I disregard my nailgun, might not get useful results
trinque: if that, I don't see immediately how it could be an advantage.
mircea_popescu: i'd rather expect it's "a reckless disregard of life and property".
mircea_popescu: because i'd so totally trade a mile of "internet" by which our friend of course means retardorama web 2.0, for an inch of bbs.
refferedbyloper: son't be mean, but be paranoid :) i'm just lurking around reading logs
diana_coman: lolz, I guess if I am, then I will, won't I?
diana_coman: yes, but more than that, they are actually curious (as far as I can tell and not only based on mine) and enjoy something new - they don't care about the level really, so it's more a matter of what the other people can "feed" them really
mircea_popescu: that's ok, i do that all the time anyway.
diana_coman: oh, the first days/weeks or so yeah, hormones all over the place and funny stuff (such as forgetting why I went to a room or another or stuff like that)
diana_coman: and no, I don't spend my whole day in a room with small children (and even when I do play with the lo, I find myself quickly ending up basically explaining graph theory on his train set/track or something other - not out of some idea that it will make him a genius, but out of boredom, yes)
mircea_popescu: diana_coman i bet you it's primarly driven by internalised expectations.
diana_coman: asciilifeform> don't discount the iq hit apparently imposed by spawning <- interesting theory, as a mother of a 3yo I can say that the only way I can see that work is mainly due perhaps to sleep deprivation
mircea_popescu: whereas fuctkarded abstractions fucktarded people come up with greatly, and i do mean GREATLY benefit from a spanking.
mircea_popescu: i guess the formula probably is, "the predominance of women best suited for housewifing equals the unit divided by the maximal litter of a woman"
mircea_popescu: which is why i went 15% either side of 1
asciilifeform: ice-cold, as far as i can tell
mircea_popescu: i see little more at work than utter contempt for "fellow man" in the common sense this is given.
mircea_popescu: i write the occasional bit of poetry/literature, and i don't either regard it as some sort of gain or myself as insane (for it)
mircea_popescu: i also you know, don't draw self portraits in it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: every sysadmin loves vi and nano, even. but programming in common lisp in an editor which doesn't automatch parens and autoindent is an example of something i might do in hell ☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: and re vi - whatever!!1 i used it for years. nowadays i find i mostly use nano. then again nowadays i mostly read other people's reports. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i'm unpersuaded.
mircea_popescu: not that i'm persuaded, but one can't not notice the coincidence.

punkman: asciilifeform: he had his own lisp and I think he published the code that ran HN at some point
assbot: Logged on 29-08-2015 13:57:20; mircea_popescu: i thought graham was supposed to be a competent old lisp hand. is this the brainrot lisp instills in people ?
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=29-08-2015#1255288 << he wrote a textbook on basic common lisp for schoolchildren once. i still have it. can't comment on his programmatic work, afaik none of it has ever been published openly... ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i never knew the russians to be czech minded.
mircea_popescu: i can see why.
mircea_popescu: i've been up an hour i've been reading nothing but scandalous stupidity.
mircea_popescu: here's what i propose : paul graham eat 500 calories for every 1k calories he expends. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i thought graham was supposed to be a competent old lisp hand. is this the brainrot lisp instills in people ? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: "I told him not to worry about it, because so long as he built something good enough to spread by word of mouth, he'd have a hyperlinear growth curve. If he was bad at extracting money from people, at worst this curve would be some constant multiple less than 1 of what it might have been. But a constant multiple of any curve is exactly the same shape. The numbers on the Y axis are smaller, but the curve is just as stee
mircea_popescu: fucking monkeys already. so he fucks up, once by getting involved in a piece of shit scam, the other for sucking at math. and what he wants to know ain't "i wonder how i could be less fucktarded" at any point.
assbot: Logged on 29-08-2015 11:36:42; btcdrak: mircea_popescu: I know your views about XTcoin, but what are your views about raising the blocksize limit by proper technical consensus and released through Bitcoin Core?

phf: (entire perelman archive in djvu http://publ.lib.ru/ARCHIVES/P/PEREL'MAN_Yakov_Isidorovich/_Perel'man_Ya.I..html, probably of interest only for ascii) ☟︎
phf: asciilifeform: i thought dulap hosting was stateside. shame, tummy people are excellent at what they do
mats: http://j00ru.vexillium.org/ntapi/ I had no idea a complete table like this existed
asciilifeform: i still have that perelman.
phf: i had a friend, who run a fido node from his apartment, who looked exactly like that cat, if that's even possible
phf: i forgot that event existed, probably got thrown out during the move, along with my copy of занимательная физика by perelman
phf: http://j.livelib.ru/boocover/1000317190/o/4e97/A._Zaretskij_A._Truhanov__A_ya_byl_v_kompyuternom_gorode.jpeg << book i was given as a small boy << i remember that book! it had a totally soviet intelligentsia cat guy
mircea_popescu: i hated these as a kid
asciilifeform: http://j.livelib.ru/boocover/1000317190/o/4e97/A._Zaretskij_A._Truhanov__A_ya_byl_v_kompyuternom_gorode.jpeg << book i was given as a small boy
asciilifeform: ahahahahaha. i think i ~have~ that one
mircea_popescu: i have one for you, too!
asciilifeform: http://i.imgur.com/1CdpS.jpg << in technicolour!
asciilifeform: but i don't actually expect to live this long.
mircea_popescu: i think the latter kids don't really grok this "don't reboot machine " thing ☟︎
asciilifeform: i formally declare the hosting subcontractor to be a piece of shit
trinque: I am referencing our glorious head of state's comments re: business
trinque: I must've been one of a handful of USian kids in the last generation taught respect, if nothing else
ascii_field: (though i have cats orbiting the house)
ascii_field: i don't have a cat
ascii_field: wtf am i to do there.
cazalla: i would pay to watch a live stream of you in that room
ascii_field: i'd rather have uncle al's room temp supercon
mircea_popescu: i hadn't even known oregon has a university.
ben_vulpes: crappy link, i know
cazalla: i would hazard a guess that the lifetime supervision is about minimising the chances this kid can enact his own justice once he reaches an age where he realises what a dud deal this was for him (around the time he gets out i would guess)
trinque: and I'm skeptical there are even "groups" to speak of
mircea_popescu: i have nfi
trinque: rather, I suppose I am thinking with phenomena
trinque: forgets about sessions after a bit, I guess
trinque: mircea_popescu: hell, my old boss before I struck back out on my own used "cosmic" constantly
mircea_popescu: as if you know. but hey, the sets are rheaaallly very important to them i tell you.
trinque: I don't know that the relationships need be between things which would be considered to be in the same set
trinque: but I'm by no means happy with those definitions
trinque: causes me to think, but I'll first suppose that the former includes the multitude of things within, and the latter refers to the structure within which those things exist
trinque: hm, yeah. I have trouble with that one.
BingoBoingo: More than anything I use the numbers as a rough combination of interactions and "bus factor"
cazalla: BingoBoingo, yeah i understand the numbers thing only has value to you, so i am sure you will not be offended that i don't rate higher than a 4-5 for anyone i've yet to share a meal with.
mircea_popescu: and yes this discussion of structure does merely belie much deeper divergence in the actual usage, which i suspect is driven by fundamental divergence in phylosophy.
mircea_popescu: "how representative of this person i consider my experience with them"
BingoBoingo: Oh, I did the WoT clean up just a little bit ago
cazalla: perhaps, but i suspect BingoBoingo had a few drinks much like myself last night
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: that's an explanation, i dare say, not a translation
mod6: hm i dunno, maybe it'll come back
trinque: I've suspected due to the way russian speakers speak english, "a" and "the" might be absent or expressed differently
trinque: yeah, I can begin to see how a particular language can limit the specificity of expression
trinque: oh, I admitted my english puniness
trinque: though their specificity, I'm sure very useful
trinque: I love the way the german language sounds.
trinque: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/81HYaGSkfFL._SL1500_.jpg
trinque: lol, somebody bought me "moon shoes" when I was a kid

ben_vulpes: d-e-r-p-i-n-g
trinque: biggest network from what I've seen
trinque: finding a paging service is rough... seems like I want to find a reseller for americanmessaging.net

trinque: so I've been looking into pagers, speaking of smartphones
fluffypony: danielpbarron: I've often used ARP poisoning at coffee shops, for shits and giggles
