mircea_popescu: "romanian-english dictionary" is
the exact equivalent of programming in "microsoft visual c".
mircea_popescu: there's no special procedure for any age, hole, or circumstance of any kind. always
the same process.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-18 21:03 mircea_popescu: i'd propose it as
the standard. explicative dictionary, of course, not "translative" dictionary.
this is
the correct approach btw, "translation" dictionary is made of 100% sheer nonsense and not
to be
touched.

mircea_popescu: but
this is an universal problem of all languages advanced enough
to have a dictionary --
the "scholars" are
too dumb
to produce
the correct item.
mircea_popescu: now,
the item suffers from
the EXTREME braindamagedness of romanian academics, 1967-2017, and is consequently not nearly as useful as could be ; most definitions are severely broken logically, even if heuristically usable.

the chinese coolies who grad student in places where work is required ;
then
there's
the poor-but-stupid us-born
tard, who graduatestudents where no work is required, spends day being "expert" online
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but anyway, no. "graduate student" is 100%
the human composition of wikipedia, reddit etc.
mircea_popescu: some people had from hitler AND dej. i guess none of
them will ALSO have from bahamas.
mircea_popescu: put it right next
to
the Legion d'Honneur etc foreign insignia.
mircea_popescu: recently, gave a bunch of chinese intel workers
this distinction. it's practically speaking
the Order Of UStards are Retarded, first class.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i've known more
than one fellow with a "us court conviction" so framed and displayed. amusingly enough,
these are STILL produced.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-17#1740200 << reminds me about
that sf piece of alt-world in which
time machine was invented but restricted
to "academic and research usage", wherein a dude discovers all
the "primitive savages" he is "studying" are similar students,
they're4 basically studying each other's execution of what
they

☝︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's a staggering ammount
to
the schmuck who fucks my receptionist because i can't be arsed
to kill flies yet goes about pretending is human being and all
that.
mircea_popescu: which is
the real lulz behind
that "decimation of american productivity". usg.blue lost "american"
trademark, did not REALISE
this ; lost also
tax immunities, and HAD NO IDEA. only approximation is a cow so dumb it only notices someone cut off its legs when
trying
to stand up.

took you seriously. please go away! we have absolutely nothing

jurov: ben_vulpes: i'd
try
to disable
the cxx useflag (or maybe all useflags
the package has, for
that matter)
ben_vulpes: relevant barf from a failure
to emerge 'dev-lang/gnat-gpl'
mircea_popescu: sorry
to disappoint everyone ; but i've sold all my bitcoin and am 100% bticino hodler nao.
this is
the right fork guyse as it will
totally win
the letter ordering debate and is supported by broad letter consensus. see you all @moon soon.
shinohai: Wonder how
the Argentines are doing with
their hunt for Rojo Octubre
today.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
this strategy whereby one contributes nothing
to
the conversation but insists
to advertise
their name
through join/part spamming nevertheless... bad idea, really.
shinohai: mircea_popescu was extremely patient with
that one ......
ben_vulpes: but
the very very funny event was
the script from
the adacore binstaller simply fails, and instructed me
to check an empty log file

mircea_popescu: imo you solved
this "i got bins,
they're needed but hated" problem correctly,
there.
mircea_popescu: i wasn't proposing
to
treat
the binturds as genesis
themselves, no. attached exactly in manner fg did it
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the interesting part is where you change 1 byte and you get sony's copy protection in a new package.
mircea_popescu: v is still needed
to manage
the metadata on
them. such as you know,
the
textfile explaining how
to produce
them and what (at least) portions say
mircea_popescu: what you mean is "the diffs aren't directly meaningful" which is
true, but also what can we do ?
mircea_popescu: yes, yours is already reversed.
the others aren't YET.
mircea_popescu: rather
than pretend alongside
the usg
tards it's an "insurmountable
task". it's not. build
the
tools and spend
the
time, do your part
to ruin wintel and with it
the united states.
mircea_popescu: i would much prefer
to have a v-root for whatever bios, with
the binary clearly laid out, so people with
the competence can
take it apart.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: binturds are NOT unapproachable.
they are very much as approachable as, eg, reversing ivory/bolix software. not necesarily as perfumed, but be
that as it may.

the only x86 bios without winturds, is for opteron or ancient (pre-2008) intels. with recent chips even binturd-containing coreboot dun work, and yer stuck with
the heathen fw shipped in
the box.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-17 06:48 BingoBoingo: Still, calls
to it add up
mircea_popescu: eg, originally phuctor box was specified with lots and lots of ram,
then software improvement brought
that original perceived bottleneck ~in line with
the others so overram no longer a critical measure of box quality. and so following.

the
top of his list of needs.
