ben_vulpes: fwiw google makes
their robotranscripts available over
http mircea_popescu: i know a bunch of imbeciles who should speak a lot more hesitatingly
than
this guy. such as for instance ~everyone not-white. somehow,
they don't, going all
the way
to like obama daring
to even open his mouth in public.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know it's
traditionally spelled ceausescu.
there's no soft c in romanian, esp not next
to e.
mircea_popescu: and so on, a whole host of, centrally,
the same
thing. a sort of iliterate solipsism.
mircea_popescu: it's
the fundamental orcism,
this. expressed pluriously by
the orcs now inhabiting
the once-proud colonies. "you couldn't know as you haven't experienced". really, bitch ? what
the fuck DO YOU
THINK KNOWLEDGE EVEN IS!
mircea_popescu: "could you guess from context what
the unknown word means ???"
a111: Logged on 2015-07-05 23:53 asciilifeform: or
that other
thread, which i can't seem
to find, where we spoke of how 'maths wot is not essential for being published, but for even having publishable ideas instead of burning your life on fibonacci sequences or some other solved/irrelevant dead end'
phf: apeloyee: i have a friend who periodically attempts
to write his own programming language, but without reading any documentation. when i ask him, hey, why not read lisp in small pieces or something, he just goes "well, i'm going
to learn something just by
trying", which i recently realized is straight up american education model.
there's nothing
that comes out of it
though, he just keeps banging his head against solved problems!
BingoBoingo: The point is once lowered, bar keeps finding ways
to fall further
mircea_popescu: alternatively, beer is swill
to begin with, and esp
the alt-flavoured sprite
they sell in
the us.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> of course reality caught up with poor shoemaker's imagination, and
today's 'emperors' indeed have not only front porches but armchair with
tv with foxnoose, and refrigerator full of 'bud' <<
The local noise is dominated by 'bud' sales freefalling. Popular yet unverifiable by me
theory is lack of once much marketed 'Born on date' discontinued by
the Brazilians is letting retailers and wholesalers keep rancid product on
mircea_popescu: he likes
the z80 for
the same reasons in
the same way. and other obsolete matter.
mircea_popescu: not
that many examples of not fundamentally braindamaged computing around.
apeloyee: do you like
the 'ivory' architecture so much?
a111: Logged on 2017-11-14 14:55 asciilifeform: in sadder noose, cheapest bolix ivory microscopy quote, chinese,
that covers all
the layers ( metal and passivation ) is ~30,000 usd.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> 100% petrus in
this sense. << Petrus Macht Frei!
phf: asciilifeform: i understand your point, but i'm not sure
that
the author in question made a choice by considering viable alternatives, rather
than from not knowing
mircea_popescu: keeping sane memstructs 99% of
the job i am pretty well persuaded.
apeloyee: how
to avoid perlization of $newscriptlang
then?
mircea_popescu: by all accounts he had no sex in
the 70s or 80s ; but in any case had not even satisfied
that minimum bar of middle class bourgeoisie of a 2nd girl somewhere.
apeloyee: ascillifeform: what do you need a scriptlang for if haz a proper lispm?
to bootstrap lispm interpreter/compiler?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
that's scandalous ahistorism.
the man ate ~like a monk.
mircea_popescu: (more fully visible,
this evolution, in china. communists, rite ?)
mircea_popescu: ironically, romania's communist party had made
the socialist republic very very far from
the "sacred ideals". usg much more worthy of
the S
than rsr ever manafged
to be.
mircea_popescu: (but
the above,
there is mention made of eg, emperor going out into
the pridvor, ie peasant style veranda. cuz he must've had one. and so on. how could a house be without ? esp if rich enough ?)
mircea_popescu: in a sense. yes,
there's a certain purity in ignorance.
mircea_popescu: the ro folklore imagines
the emperor's court as a sort of larger peasant house. i have no doubt ceausescu imagined all others as a sort of "people from village i have known"
mircea_popescu: i do not believe
the man had any sort of comprehension of
the world outside
the sheerest anachronism.
mircea_popescu: had no idea of eg
the man's letters, as
they weren't in
the 3rd grade manual. or of anything else.
mircea_popescu: not at all. he had
the most cursory familiarity with
the man's work, of
the exact sort as might have been pounded into a
trades apprentice during basic schooling by kingdom efforts.
mircea_popescu: i very much doubt he understood alecsandri as anything else. "a writer", yes, like a sort of newspaper man ++, a young mark
twain, maybe
talented, his paternal job being
to "make available circumstances
to development".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
to get back
to
teh ceausescu lulz : he describes vasile alecsandri (a rich, old boyar who also wrote poems, very much like say pushkin, massive landholder etc. but ceausescu discusses his work in
terms of oyu know, "this journalist kid from
the 1800s, did his job, wrote for
the people".

that doesn't sound right, read and eval are distinct phases, by
the
time you get
to eval you shouldn't be operating with strings when but instead with interned symbols (i.e.
things
that can be eq'd in lisp and pointer equivalent on c machine level)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform sometimes i get
this feeling like he's
trying
to discern if we're idiots.
mircea_popescu: ah you meant in his
thing. yes it still applies, he shaves a further half bit is all.
mircea_popescu: apeloyee from 11(2045 bits unset)1
to 11(2045 bits set)1
apeloyee: what's
the range of candidate p's?
mircea_popescu: once you decide rsa is based on mult, you decide
to
take
the mult leak.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-14 01:09 asciilifeform:
the way i'd implement
the whole shebang, is simply
to reject both primes if
the highest bit of pq is not 1 .
mircea_popescu: apeloyee because
this is a mathematical leak, it's not avoidable properly speaking. multiplication is not a neutral op wrt
the
tails of
the multiplicands. but leaks.
mircea_popescu: even
the shoddiest 2011 scammers produce ~perfect "bitcoin business opportunities". hence
the popularity of scam-investment.
