esthlos: the program should be a good substitute for reading
the paper directly
esthlos: phf: vaguely,
that
the code maps
to
the actual problem with no extraneous complexity, in an easily readable way
phf: esthlos: what do you mean by
transparently?
ben_vulpes: they're not all
there, as
that's
the directory
they get dumped into after mimisbrunnr is asked for
them
the first
time
phf: original figure, i believe was wc -l on everything, i refined
the loc mesasure
esthlos: fwiw I read McIlroy's paper and would be willing
to implement it _transparently_, if
there's interest
☟︎☟︎ phf: i
took a little break
to put it into CWEB so i can print it and read it (cutting process was mostly mechanic, so now i need
to actually grok some of
the
things it does), but
that
turned out
to be a pita
esthlos: phf: a little birdie
told me you are working on a diff replacement. have you made significant progress?
a111: Logged on 2015-06-29 02:56 asciilifeform: i sorta want
to start doing
this
thing where we for blocks 0 ... n, sha512sum block_n | gpg ...
a111: Logged on 2015-06-28 19:14 mircea_popescu:
the entire idea of what we are building here is NODE HIERARCHY.
mircea_popescu: where
the fuck is
that piece commenting on how soviet citizens all sooner or later wake up
to
the disney quality of
their state ?
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2017-12-28 16:05 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform republic has strength
to enforce dunnit ?
a111: Logged on 2017-12-29 00:36 asciilifeform: ( because
they don't be sitting for 30sec
to 6min per block grunting ecdsa )
a111: Logged on 2017-12-28 22:16 mircea_popescu: works ok for eg
torrents, where all data is needed once in no particular order, but blockchain is not
torrent.
mircea_popescu: one item is stated ;
the other item is not stated. does
this belie anything about
the relative situations of beliefs ?
mircea_popescu: you understand statement is
the first process in
the dissolution of
taboo and
the de-fanging of belief ?
mircea_popescu: how come
the arcane "you're missing
the includes" need not be mentioned in one piece but was mentioned in
the other and
this gives you no pause in
the "that's how i'd have done" ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform how come your above item fails
to point out
the obvious, "he was dedicated
to
the supremacy of white man, and his enslavement of
the entire world and nature itself
to his own
tastes and inclinations" ?
mircea_popescu: it should perhaps be pointed out
that while
things like grocery lists, love letters, blog articles, ransom notes at all one might "should" write, it is
the obituary which stands alone among all
the literary forms as
the only piece man must, eventually but absolutely MUST write.
mircea_popescu: am i actually
the only one
to have written any obituaries, incidentally ?
mircea_popescu: it's one
thing
to say "if i were writing it i'd have written
the same" when you wrote a few and considered how you'd write even more. but on
the nude... ?
mircea_popescu: but you spoke like one who had considered
the matter of writing obits quite well ?!
mircea_popescu: well now i wanna see
this. pretend i'm dead and let's see
three paragraphs.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so
then
there's no substance
to your disagreement, nor is
the reading martian after all ?!
mircea_popescu: god knows nobody has YET written a piece for
the usg faux news outlets
that survived braindamaging at
time of packaging (and some
truly eminent examples documented by various parties)
mircea_popescu: the other direct avenue, of course, is
to say "text was a lot better as author submitted it, before forbes"ru" chiseled it into visible shape". which for all i know might even be
true,
phf: but
there's a point
there, which is not necessarily about
the man, but about
the author.
the selling forbes part, which i
think is
true. bulk of su intelligentsia went full "progressive" after
the collapse
mircea_popescu: what, fellow could not have used his language
to say what he meant, i am
to reconstruct
the dinosaur out of half
tooth ?
mircea_popescu: as i said, i can see
this reading ; but it is entirely not what
the
text says.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless!
the "genuine similarity" as one might in sufficient analysis passes unearth, is spurious when compared
to
the evident construction and its evident goals.
mircea_popescu: at
the very least because, obviously, no
two
things man-made can be entirely disjunct
thereby.
mircea_popescu: the argument is not
that usian socialism is utterly and entirely disjunct from soviet socialism
mircea_popescu: the story would work just as well but better with
the coffee/tea switched, but i did it
this way in memory of
the master nikolay pushkin.
mircea_popescu: at
the inspector's puzzled query, asciilifeform responded "it's clear he meant
tea rather
than coffee by
that request".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform was once director of insane asylum. moscow inspectors came
to examine ivan bonapartii napoleonovich, a celebrated nutcase. ivan said "einstein is a jew, because his
theories privilege
the speed of light in preference of other speeds
that are much more important
to us" and asciilifeform brought ivan a cup of
tea.
mircea_popescu: he created a partition over
the statal space, and choose some bits.
mircea_popescu: what he did was IN SPITE of
the politruk, not for
the politruk.
