mod6: <+mircea_popescu> nice work mod6 <<
Thx, cheers!
pete_dushenski: so wouldn't update if owner
took off
to, say,
take a shower ?
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: how'd you approach
the problem of frequently updated blockheight on
the wrist ? well, "problem"...
pete_dushenski: sounds a lot like
teh prairies except in cr you can't see spot running away for weeks
mircea_popescu: in other grandeurs,
this place is a bona fida meteorological observatory. i sat over pasta and watched a complete cloud system move across
the sky. here
the sky's blue, here's
the coming cloud front,
there's rain...
mircea_popescu: anyway, over 1TB burned, month half way. blog infrastructure liek bitcoin infrastructure in more ways
than one.
mircea_popescu: superficially seems like all sorts ; kinda not have
the
time now
to feed a quarter gb log
through summarizer.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, looking
through logs we notice
trilema served 1.5mn pages... earlier
today, during four hours or so.
this is usually a week or
two's worth.
mircea_popescu: the point being
that
the pantsuit machine RELIES on
there not existing
toxicitems in
the environment, because
the whole
thing is so least-effort driven as
to directly uptake
them if present.
mircea_popescu: (to explain
the lulz : huffpo penned piece about gervais, whio's still active and who did whatever huffpo-demo interest item recently ; upon deciding
they want
to write it up
they proceeded
to "do research" in "depth" as such works ; as it happens
trilema owns millions of "long
tail" items, including as
the case is here whatever-they-searched-about either cemetery junction or gervais or some combination of other words. eviden
mircea_popescu: mmm, i dunno
that we have a gentoo equivalent of
this deeded anywhere.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: "whatever it is you're building" is "gentoo", and what goes into
that is still a mystery
to me
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes ride
the rotor
train all
the way
to
there
then have it build whatever it is you're building.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: couldja sketch how
this pill might work for me?
shinohai: Ah yeah somehow I had forgotten
that *DUH* is part of
trb
mircea_popescu: and for
that matter, evidently "whaterver you got" dun include post wreckage gcc 5+
ben_vulpes: yeah i have one of
those as well but also ew
ben_vulpes: i don't really know how
to apply your use flags
to
the creation of a new gentoo
then. i do have an older gentoo box
that is pretty faithful
to
the crapolade flags, has gcc but don't really have a map for making
that produce a root fs
that i can put on another box or what even
the correct way
to go about doing what i want
to do
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i did
that, but i believe
that 5 snuck in from stage3. at
the
time i got loads of errors about 5 being present on
the system in violation of use flag specification, attempted
to purge but
this did not result in a usable box somehow
ben_vulpes: i couldn't find a stage3 with 4.9 on it when i needed it for
this machine, and so got 'phuqed'
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: yeah i have now pissed upon
this electrified fence as well
ben_vulpes: hey
trinque do you still have
that script for "infectious gentoo"? i might be able
to get my old closet iron with 4.9
to build a respectable userland
☟︎ ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i
tried recently
to build a chroot with 4 from
the machine with 5
to no avail
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform:
the box
that barfed uses gcc 5.4.0
diana_coman: make a not
that
there are negative, "non-natural" numbers, what else is
there
to do, lol
mircea_popescu: hermeneutics, amirite. "how
to map complex structures".
mircea_popescu: usually
this returns "religious artefact AND GET
THE FUCK OUT OF MY OFFICE". understandably.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you'd love archeology by
the way. half
the job is "here's
this pile of relations with no cognitive correlate. please explain."
mircea_popescu: and people who cut off
their own leg
to spite
the doctor do exist from what i hear.
diana_coman: well, I get what you mean i.e.
that's
the zero, yes; however ...constructs of stupidity do...exist, what can I say
mircea_popescu: incidentally, walked past item in market yest, "and god walked
the earth, and came upon a man who was so very poor
mircea_popescu: diana_coman but constructs OF STUPIDITY have no bearing on
the actual reality. child is, natura nuda, poorest
thing
that can exist.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, I'd say plenty *poorer*
than children actually; I can't see how is "adult" with debt and whatnot "richer"
than child
mircea_popescu: which
they do, endlessly entertainingly. let me show you
the most recent :
mircea_popescu: absent either
the eventually or
the complete... it's back
to black monkeys picking
through each other's fur.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform learnable failures are always
the byproduct of an eventuallty successful complete
tree.
mircea_popescu: almost 0 shits given
to "after ww2 but before clinton, america
the great" wank for very much
this reason, actually.
mircea_popescu: "but mp, if you don't study failures how
to avoid mistakes ???" "study non-failures and non-do what
they didn't do either!" wtf, ima have
to look at anything but WORKING engine
to establish how
to not make engine ? pshaw.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
they can
take
their "yoni"s and shove
them, i'm
too busy archeologisting actual
things
to be bothgered with "but mp, before going
to shit india was interesting". had i lived before it went
to shit, i might've persuaded by
this.
mircea_popescu: now, one could say "but of course, mp is rich, man of leisure". except... i STILL didn't have a particular destination /
timetable as an eight year old. if anyone's ever poorer
than a child...
mircea_popescu: this is also why i've not learned say sanskrit, and why i despise indians as
the cultural construct. bitch, interrupted classics isn't a qualifier, if all
the jews had ended in 300 ad
they'd be in
the same pot.
mircea_popescu: it's why i won't learn subhuman languages, such as anything black people ever made : not NEARLY enough classics
to keep me interested in
this manner.
mircea_popescu: i can't answer for others, but i, a man with no particular place
to go and no specific
time
to be
there, find in general
the approach endlessly entertaining. go into a
two day loop
through whatever lang's dict after having read a phrase in some classical work.
mircea_popescu: until you have enough familiarity for
the proper dict
to be useful
to you, you don't properly speaking have anything
to say.
mircea_popescu: you get
to
this
takeoff in
the manner children do, which is : be seen and not heard. you... read.
mircea_popescu: gains ~not just for
the "new" language~!
the old one as well! i'm a much better english speaker
than absolutely any esl speaker BECAUSE i speak a bunch of other languages
that ARE NOT english, which STRENGTHENS my english.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-21 18:32 mircea_popescu: because no, words don't "have meanings". your meanings for ANY WORD are a function of ALL
THE OTHER WORDS YOU KNOW. which is why my definitions regularily blow out english dictionaries, wikipedia and other sources of "wisdom" out of
the water - i know more words, and in
this knowledge i know all
the words i know ~better~. infinitely and irreproducibly so.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-09 16:12 mircea_popescu:
trinque
the method i recommend, if you care, is
to work selections of classical
texts with
the dictionary ;
then proceed
to answer any systematic questions you have when you're sick of
the slog.
mircea_popescu: it's not FORBIDDEN. but if you insist
to break
the "why do you
think you have anything
to SAY yet" rule and instead of reading ro
text with ro explicative dictionary as per
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-09#1580455 jump ahead
to
trying
to ~produce~ ro
text on
the basis of your english ideas augmented by a english-to-ro
translateatron,
the result will be
that you'll end up with a subset of romanian as permitted by your english
☝︎ mircea_popescu: even if your binary runs, your brain suffered in
the process.
