mircea_popescu: ie,
the illiterate 20something reader will read something else.
mircea_popescu: (note
that i ~can~ both follow and support
the reading of
the man's words
that'd permit you
to say "Yes" ; however it'd be very much a sopirla, and well distant from what "plain reading" delivers.)
mircea_popescu: does
this meet your criteria for " he did not know how
to do
things
that would be of use
to him personally, or some particular group" ?
a111: Logged on 2017-12-24 16:11 asciilifeform: kurchatov, supposedly, sat and
thought, and few minutes later answered, 'perhaps from philosophical pov
this'd be consistent. but
then we will have
to forget about obtaining
the bomb.'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what does "it seems
to me,
that he did not know how
to do
things
that would be of use
to him personally, or some particular group. everyone. or nobody." mean here in your reading ?
mircea_popescu: phf by
the
time you write obituaries "istos plausus, cum popularibus civibus
tribuerentur", you have already done
the deed, and now work for forbes.
mircea_popescu: the point of an obituary is
to satisfy
the spirit of
the departed.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the ideal of
the soviet man of science is
that until such a
time as every last soviet citizen can follow brin
the elder, no brin
the elder should speak ?
phf: i suspect
this dude doesn't have any kind of apropriate venue
to publish an obituary
that he expects
to be read by a lot of people.
that's sort of
the point of obituary, is
to get any random reddit man
to scratch his head
mircea_popescu: it's what we expect
to see, isn't it ? usg is specifically
the empire of "there's a difference between what is and what you want
to see, and we live out of selling
that"
mircea_popescu: phf which is why
this dude is
trying
to help forbes sell.
phf: there's soviets
that read "ponedelnik nachinayetsa..." and
took it
to heart,
they proped up
the rest of
the charade.
that's
the ideal soviet man,
that products of intelligentsia parents like ascii or myself
talk about. it is obviously a chimera, but it still has a mythical value
mircea_popescu: man at shop where
they don't hjave meat said, "well, if
there's not enough meat for
the whole queue, i
take no meat" ?
mircea_popescu: like, let's have an example of any item, mechanism, anything recognizably soviet
that worked as described.
mircea_popescu: the point is really, "soviet man didn't know how
to support a group" ?
phf: zavalashin is another old
timer,
the piece in question is his only contribution
to forbse
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i seem
to
think parts of dead frog behave more convincingly
than other parts.
mircea_popescu: and
the piece is OF a respectable man, but not by a respectable man,
though
the quality of
the masquerade is indeed high.
mircea_popescu: and
the dollar is "quoted" in rubles
to propose
that anyone would ever want
to buy some.
mircea_popescu: forbes ru exists
to lend credence
to
the empty notion
that forbes is a
thing, which is no different from
the proposition best-bitcoin-mining-trading-info-near-you-australia.s3.amazonaws.com is a
thing.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform how do you read "it seems
to me,
that he did not know how
to do
things
that would be of use
to him personally, or some particular group. everyone. or nobody. we all once were like
this. us. people from a destroyed country" other
than a) a retcon of history (soviet man EMINENTLY was never like
this,. but like
the opposite of
this) and b) "please please please let
there be no republc please" rendered in prolix sty
a111: Logged on 2017-12-28 22:34 mircea_popescu: especially fabuous as
the "you may also be interested in" bullshit is liek "virtualnoe bezdele rabotodateli rasplachivayutsya za internet SERFING" under "karera i svoy biznes". AS FUCKING IF!
mircea_popescu: these are
the spirits of
the dead, unsatiated, restless, unburied.
mircea_popescu: kinda why lemures/spectra/etc were scary
to
teh romans.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the fate of
the lost is
that
they continue at
their level of skill.
mircea_popescu is also happy at how diana_coman 's code veers
towards literate style. you've seen
this phf ?
☟︎ shinohai: "'Cryptocurrency enthusiast and cybersecurity pioneer John McAfee has claimed
that his
Twitter account was compromised by an unknown offender who used his social media account
to fraudulently promote “undervalued” digital coins.'
mircea_popescu: "daniel is a bot" "how can you
tell it's a bot ?" "because i don;t like what it says, but let's veil
this into some numerology considerations". hurr.
mircea_popescu: as if
there's fucking options at
their level. "oh, i am destitute but have options!!1"
mircea_popescu: lol all
the self important "i'll read something else". really bitch ? what will you read,
trilema ?
mircea_popescu: "the computing centers,
tired of routine, seized
the novelty" holy crap. moscow station last functional usg item, defo.
mircea_popescu: especially fabuous as
the "you may also be interested in" bullshit is liek "virtualnoe bezdele rabotodateli rasplachivayutsya za internet SERFING" under "karera i svoy biznes". AS FUCKING IF!
☟︎ mircea_popescu: im going
to make
this
the permanent reference endpoint
to
that entire story of how sane language protects
the speaker from idiocy as a passive aura.
mircea_popescu: putting
the usd and euro "values" as if
they existed or mattered up
top is one
thing. but
this,
thbis is liek moar skill and ability
than seen from usg in 20 years.
danielpbarron: they also gave me a gmail address, for what
that's worth. i'm like "what's wrong with doing it right here??"
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron idiots gotta idiot,
they're not fucking dedicated
to ANYTHING like
they';re dedicated
to
the maintenance and perpetuation of
the empire of idiocy.
danielpbarron: i had
that earlier
today, went
to #somechannel saying i want
to sponsor show.
they give me patreon link
mircea_popescu: i am personally insulted by all
the useless fuckwits with patreon profiles because unlike
the useless fuckwits a la say rms,
they MOVED
THERE AFTER
THE REPUBLIC.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-28 18:17 asciilifeform: keep
the 1:1 eaten:shat rule for bots
mircea_popescu: works ok for eg
torrents, where all data is needed once in no particular order, but blockchain is not
torrent.
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2017-12-28 17:37 asciilifeform: pushing dun do much for a

time

a111: Logged on 2013-02-10 04:08 benkay: i'm waiting for
the developing world
to figure it out
a111: Logged on 2017-12-28 16:58 asciilifeform:
the rest, variously, went mad
a111: Logged on 2017-12-28 16:56 phf: it was literally
the case of "milord, i made
this basket from only finest of
twigs, for your misses. ... bless you, milord"
mircea_popescu: lol
the pantsuit spamsites just recycle
the same "content" ? who couldve...
trinque: bot was getting disconnected due
to mysterytube reasons. your pm !!up might work now
phf: diana_coman: is working now,
ty
phf: ah,
the fix copy
thing!
phf: so
the weird graph indicates
that some hunks are missing antecedents, in
this case at least
test_mpi.c is claiming a previous version
that's not in btcbase
diana_coman: it does modify a lot of
things so it's seen as having antecedents ch1, ch2 and
the mpi-fix iirc
diana_coman: I
tested it locally with v and v99 and everything pressed fine
diana_coman: I just noticed
the weird graph; any idea what?
phf: diana_coman: i
think
there might be an issue with your ch3
