http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-20#1741176 << i don't need
to consider
that, i grok metacircularity, i.e.
there's no such
thing as builtin symbols. bytecode or not is lateral
to
that point.
spyked:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-21#1741755 <-- crap. sorry for
the confusion! I was
thinking about builtin functions, not symbols. need a meaningful way
to point symbols
to
those
things, and meaningful way revealed itself once I finally grasped your point. /me proceeds
to rewrite symbols+builtin pieces.
☝︎ ben_vulpes: good example of
tmsr as antireddit: nothing in
the "nollij of crowds", but if yr lucky some sages will come by with a set of koans
to set you rethinkin priors
BingoBoingo: OMG Crashing,
this is bullish for SegCrash
mircea_popescu: ~only utility for
those is "baby's first naked pic" back when
they didn't shave, didn't suck cock and didn't habitually strip naked in company.
mircea_popescu: holy shit
turns out i know a lot about field developing.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform cut up cardboard, coupla inches larger
than window, duct-tape on.
BingoBoingo to sober
time, will likely blog update progress upon return
mircea_popescu: (to keep form it has
to be always feminine anyway, so
this works surprisingly well)
mircea_popescu: (all
the proposed definitions are at least somewhat reasonable)
mircea_popescu: roll some rexona on
the chip and
throw it against
the wall.
mircea_popescu: if you're gonna do it like
this, why not use a fridge.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what reasoning would impel a sane fellow
to use fucking polaroids auto-paper, when a bit of film would have about 9k x resolution ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform used
to be reactives were expensive. no more. proper bath, listen
to me.
mircea_popescu: bathroom in most us places works as dark room, screw in red light plug
the window if it exists.
BingoBoingo: "How did he make his money?" "Communism fell,
there was money running porn studios in
the 1990's, and now he alternately builds and unbuilds empires"
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo *you would if you could import
the fresh
tuna.
BingoBoingo: "He's a Romanian living in Costa Rica" "Why? Because he can. You would if you could
too."
mircea_popescu: oh, in other lulz : costa rica failed
to send anyone
to miss universe competition (some indian midget won in china). on
the basis of observed data...
this is correct.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, explaining
to normal ordinary people in meatspace who Mircea Popescu is, is surprisingly simple.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: so i go into shop
that has you know, coffee
toaster and a buncha nuts etc, and go "camarron ?" and
the woman looks at me befuddled, so i'm like "semillas de camarron!" and she's eyeing me like wtf
then realises. "maranon ?"
BingoBoingo: The co working space is a block still further.
The mall is a block

The Pocitos and Buceo playas are equidistant.
BingoBoingo: Next nearest place with similar setup is on other side of Pocitos neightborhood, while
this one is across street and around block from World
Trade Center
BingoBoingo: Right.
This arrangement comes with roommates
through accident of having booked bed at same place. Also comes with breakfast.
mircea_popescu: "rent is 100 but i don't have
to spend 150
to get language lessons, o noes, im 50 in
the green here"
mircea_popescu: not bad start. find a shared apt deal among
the students after, will be cheaper in
the sense of paying for itself via roommates.
BingoBoingo: Sometime late february
to March price goes down substantially

tourist season.

mircea_popescu: eventually late 70s incarnations looked exactly like

the romanians added 10% hp / 10% speed etc five years later.
then added 15% more five years later. and so on
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform cuz head of
the reds, ie, vaguely left-centrists. but rather, because somewhat opposite
to usg party.
mircea_popescu: people did
that sort of
thing, back
then. and all
the fuckbook
tards who paint
the dude (rightfully or not, i don't give a shit) as
the summum malum never as much as put
together a fucking lego box.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: but
take
this forinstance :
thorouyghly hated politician active
these days MADE his own fucking ARO (70s romanian SUV). OUT OF PARTS. WHICH HE BOUGTH.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: depends. 80s were insufferable (but, according
to eg stanculescu, still better
than ru). 70s were supposedly great. 60s ro was ahead of
the post-war pack, but still... europe. even
the french had malnutrition.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: made
to
the
tune of 1,5k a day or such, respectable altogether.
mircea_popescu: proportionally 10x
than
the ru
things, because smaller pop.
mircea_popescu: and you showed up like for
the draft, paper in hand and specified comcast-style
times. "between 8 and 17". people fucking camped at
the plant.
mircea_popescu: i
tell
the girls stories, you know, "to get a car in
the 80s you had
to deposit 80k lei in
this so and so account, and
then 8
to 18 months later
they'd call you
TO
THE PLANT and you'd get, mostly, a car. of whatever color
they had available and maybe with all
the parts.
there were no fucking showrooms or anything, people drove
the car home 500 kms.

mircea_popescu: trinque> I just beat his face in << better strategy. "bitch, by
the
time i'm done with you, your mom's gonna be begging
to bring me my hat in her snatch every weekend after nine."
mircea_popescu: the most amusing example being
that in 1817, back when "miscegenation" was a serious offence, and in 2017, when "bbc" is kinda fashionable,
the prevalence of black-white mixed kids born was ~same. cuz exogamy is a behaviour and society is a blather, guess which comes later.
mircea_popescu: trinque
the
theory isn't
that it actually does anything ;
the idea is
that
the ~reason~
they
thought
they're doing it was pretty dumb.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> lifetime vaccine against equalism. << AHA, I ad
