mircea_popescu: whole idea now is "can safely replace explanation from 1 with item from 2". if we break
this re 1 wtf do we do, you write AI
to discern between dex-powered and mp-powered explanations of words ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it can't do
the right
thing if i changed
the explanation.
mircea_popescu: it's blocking in my head cuz im not gonna edit items by hand if
they're gonna be updated by machine.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so are we deciding
that is
to be
the base item and not gonna dump new dex into it ?
mircea_popescu: much like
they managed
to
turn banking system from system for achieving wealth
to system for avoiding wealth.
mircea_popescu: im not saying explainatory, esp because wtf is
translatatory
then.
mircea_popescu: but if explainy part provided, some perl on
the side is no longer brain rotting.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform always a problem of
translaty dict, as discussed. no way out of
this,
translaty dict is perl.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ikr ?
the previous set of globalists, with
the
tripod sites etc, promised lots of jules verne crap, went away like nothing.
mircea_popescu is noticing how
this "how come nothing was done before republic got
to it" point is fading out of discourse.
trite!
mircea_popescu: somehow a dictionary entry is
the best way
to distinguish men from idiots.
mircea_popescu: got a gateway
to latin and a gateway
to
the east, and
the idiotic lingua franca of stupid people as
the archimede screw for it all.
mircea_popescu: anywauy, i didn't mean "same
treatment" in
the sense of ipaization, i meant same
treatment in
the sense of
translaty/explainy flatfile.
mircea_popescu: (is hysterical bit re
this in classical ro comedy film, "monsieur se scrie, monsieur se citeste, ci
tat umbli cu cioara vapsita!")
mircea_popescu: but incidentally -- same
treatment could be applied
to ru-eng item, resulting in a megabridge here.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform let's
try
this. make up a girl's name and i'll
tell you how it sounds in romanian.
then diana_coman spyked alex_c whosoever else can confirm or infirm.
mircea_popescu: in
the sense
that
the resulting code would be in itself an interesting knowledge pile.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform as an aside :
the "limba romana este singura limba care se scrie cum se citeste" ro linguistics dogmatics promises
there's a workable ro-ipaize-tron somewhere. at least in
the sense of "we could get 99% success rate". it IS a point of fact
that ~any romanian speaker can correctly notate new words on
the basis of sound, and
this is PRECISELY
the sort of artificial intelligence
that's amenable
to numeric methods.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
to leave
the pressure off : im still willing
to go
through it by line and improve as
time permits, but
there's no rush, so let's first make an optimal basis and see.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform can even put
them as aside binary blob, as discussed re fg/bootturds etc. "you wanrt
to see
the orcograms, find item #x in list"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, for some reason i
thought dex included a pronounciation guide, but it seems mostly absent/unreliable.
mircea_popescu: this would be (as per
tradition / discussion yest etc) actually a very powerful item ~for
the student of english~,
too. even if he only spake english.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-19 02:00 asciilifeform: caveat x2 : no îțâșă . but it was missing in
the original, i did not remove it. ascii-only, in
the derp's original, e.g. 'uşă'
turns into 'usa'.
mircea_popescu: making you a major cultural player, in
the vein of dead people.
mircea_popescu: but with
those changes you not only have only ro dict online, but you also have best ro dict ever made in 3k years of ro history.
mircea_popescu: now, i would much appreciate if you
took
the current bs and ipa'd it properly (it's not
THAT hard, ro ipa set is narrow and unambiguous)
☟︎ mircea_popescu: you could ALSO add
the etymology notation as separate field, but can also leave it as is (part of
the expl)
mircea_popescu: look at it, it's always separated in
the definition, at beginning
mircea_popescu: the correct
transform imo would be from your (word/dubious expl/engl equiv) into (word/proposed english equiv/ipa notation/proper dex expl).
this can be done mechanically on
the basis of
the
two items.
shinohai: Would be greatly appreciated
to have plaintext item, asciilifeform .... I also prefer
to simply grep word I am looking for whilst studying.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform are you gonna vpatch
the new dict on
the old btw ? or what's next step here ?
mircea_popescu: (whole
thing is entirely symbolic by now, obviously. but at one point ...)
mircea_popescu: specifically
the "Si daca
tot m-am enervat, sa facem si o regula : cine se casatoreste nu mai are dreptul sa fie dizident. Dizidenta e pentru barbati, nu pentru pulalai inscrisi in registru' reproductiv al neamului. Odata ce
te-ai casatorit cu una ai
terminat-o cu pretentiile si nemultumirile apropo de "orinduirea sociala". Nu mai ai ce sa comentezi,
te inscrii acolo in ordine asa cum este ea si iti vezi de sters cacatu' de p
a111: Logged on 2017-11-20 00:43 mircea_popescu: what complaint can
there be had ? "starve
to
the light" is for
teens, small children have no useful fat reserves.
mircea_popescu: anyway, getting briefly back
to
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-20#1740875 :
the importance of big boobs in women is exactly
this : if you make
the decision
to forced march
through desert,
the offspring of A-cup camp followers will die ; DD and so forth will survive -- female body will melt
the
tit into nothing before letting kid starve, whole process driven by
that one
true whip of
the female psyche,
the child-dying-of-hunger
☝︎ mircea_popescu: was he
the one dedicated
to
the service of some woman ?
mircea_popescu: yes but rarely will a us born esl fellow wriote his angst under
the correct piece.
mircea_popescu: well, archeologists of
the future are welcome
to resolve
this, i ain't digging.
mircea_popescu: (admittedly, it became obvious
to me faster
than "to most people" or w/e)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i
thought
that was re me de-backing altcoin once it become obvious can't work
