i'll refresh memory for ancient thread. mircea_popescu has it -
i refuse to add recurring expenses when there is no revenue.
jurov:
i'm at loss of words.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu:
i haven't moved the domain yet
jurov:
i invested 100BTC into s.nsa.. to see penury mentioned in relation to ordinary business expenses?
ascii_field: jurov:
i don't deal in monotonic guaranteed trips to penury
jurov: not so long ago,
i have found alf a box, he declined. now he has to take whetever there is.
ascii_field: davout: just now
i took a moment to set up on that box, and ran into a few boojums
mircea_popescu: "The studious will note that this is a completely solved problem that no machine learning algorithm will be able to approximate anytime soon."
i'm sorry...what ? solved how ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: he's sitting over there going "hmm....
i would need something like a tube... but with fins on it... yeah that's right, two large fins..."
mircea_popescu:
i have the fucking body of research all published, which is why
i can always link
trinque:
I was drunk enough to deal with him at the time :D

I need the ability to publish a unit of research as an interactive program containing all information used to draw my conclusions. It shall be entirely and trivially modifiable, extensible, and if reproducing the research is possible on this machine, running the program shall be a single click or procedure call away. WYSIWYG tools shall be included and fashioned from the precepts of geometry. Thus,

I'm simply of the opinion that our current platform (irc) is too barbaric and doesn't force enough shared context upon us to do anything interesting. Any sort of shared vision or whatever gets watered down into discussions like the above.
mircea_popescu: but it can't be started from the glibc
i don't think. that's the middle.
jurov:
i haven't explored it to that depth
mircea_popescu: you can't go "oh
i don't use libnss anyway". you probably are.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: mod6 what
i mean is, for as long as you use any sort of function touched, whether you yourself use any of the libnss "functionality" or not, its gonna be there
mod6: Anyway, thanks guise.
I think that helps me clear a few things up.
mod6: <+ascii_field> the patch, note, did not remove all (there is a 'what is my ip' thing in there ) << ah,
i recall. ok and this is what initiated the conversation about SHA256 addy's as opposd to dotted quads right?
mod6: we were on track at that point to try to cut a milestone. but just about that time is when we hit the tx validation problem in 168`000 ;
I think your patch just got lost in the shuffle.
mod6: it's not broke from the web-perspective.
i've just read so much stuff that
I've confused myself.
mod6: ok maybe that's the part
I was missing - how libnss is somehow tied to glibc.
jurov: mod6
i can explain, too. to support different configurations for DNS/users/whatever resolving without glibc recompilation and without interprocess communication
mod6: asciilifeform:
I'm just trying to put together the monthy address; In one to three sentences cna you help me summarize what is going on with glibc/libnss?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: that either side is generally ignorant of the equivalencies is nothing short of hysterical, but hey. "specialisation drives performance",
i'm told.
davout: from what
I find it's a neologism from jacques derrida
mircea_popescu: at any rate, THIS is why
i ask people "well, can you do it on a cpanel box" well before.
☟︎ ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> [00:54] how the everliving fuck is cpanel used with anything other than php/static wwwtron << fwiw asciilifeform
i went through a very similar saga on a very similar popescuian box.
i just thought that "this was how things were supposed to be" and labored in silence.
mircea_popescu: "you're supposed to have been", jesus who the fuck came up with english grammar. "o
i know, we'll save on predicative modes!!1"
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> [13:23] that's prolly put
i nthere special for shooting down ben_vulpes dating attempts in kindergarten. <<
i dun get it
mircea_popescu: in any case, it is perfectly wrong to imagine scbl has the magical quality of magical quality (and then move on once the horde shows it trivially breaks). for one thing, c was a very intellectually respectable thing, back when
i was a kid.
mircea_popescu: trilema is filled with examples :
i spell this the french way this time for stylistic reasons. what now ?
mircea_popescu: and if
I write the dict, there isn't a way to write a program that can import it at all.
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=29-04-2015#1115422 << this,
i will point out, is in no way related to any inherent property of either (unless you mean lisp is inherently going to fail), but simply a function of context. had the linux kernel been implemented in sclb, and had the past 20 years been spent with scbl being "the cool language", you'd be having zhe pronouns and assorted idiocy to the tune of > 10 mn lines
☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu:
i suppose we should go beat her up, stupid fucking whore.
assbot: Logged on 29-04-2015 07:33:47; gabriel_laddel:
I'll note that
I wrote a prototype for the RPC described above - ran into an issue with TCP or the library
I was using it from. Messages were disappearing in flight.
mircea_popescu: it has nothing to check against,
i gotta do it by hand.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel "Why isn't there grammer/spellchecking for my comments? " << this
i can readily answer. because
I am what's called "a creator of language", which is to say one of those people who, through his usage, ENACTS the rules all amateur users of language MUST follow, as a mark of their linguistic inferiority. like fucking shakespeare.
☟︎ davout:
I KNOW! LET'S REWRITE SCOOPBOT IN COMMON LISP!
mircea_popescu: what bothers me is that
i see no way to either dismiss it, or pick it.
davout:
i'm really too lazy to argue further,
i just tend to remove code instead of adding more whenever
i can get what
i want either of those ways
mircea_popescu:
i would definitely read the essay discussing the merits of either side.
i just realised
i actually don't grok this shit.
mircea_popescu: none of this "
i'll fix the details later,
i'm in the middle of doing sexy work now". fuck you and fuck your "ideas".
mircea_popescu:
i want it to complain to the dev about every.single.problem. EVERY SINGLE PROBLEM. and it must be as a fucking clickbox, in his face.
mircea_popescu:
i don't need to fucking remember to ask it.
i can walk away from the terminal if
i need some space.
mircea_popescu: ort what
I can figure out about the context ? b) iterate you through all locations ? c) change it back ? d) run a trace see what happens ?"
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel "why are the holes not marked or filled?" << ftr this is not what
i was contemplating. what
I was contemplating is, why the fuck don't defaults pop up. bring back the fucking paperclip, put it the ONE place where it makes fucking sense. "hey john,
I see you changed FuckOff() from bool to int. This function is called 82 places in 22 files. Would you like me to a) check all places where it's called and rep
☟︎ kakobrekla:
i thought they would be friends but ok
mircea_popescu: "can
i please have the bullet then ?" "uhhh... but we don't make those anymore ? too expensive."
Adlai:
i'd say it's lulzier that the guy just has two first names
mircea_popescu: "omaigawd
i have to finish this by tomorrow because
i had three weeks to do it but
i was busy until tonight!!111"
mircea_popescu: welcome to beartraps & caltrops day on bitcoin-assets.
i'll be your lovely host, with the mostly incontinent Sharon Cohen serving as my co-something or the other.
davout: heh, already heard about it, although thankfully that's not something
i've witnessed
mircea_popescu: the excruciation however, yes.
i think you even saw one of the crosses.
mircea_popescu: no, not software. if
i wake up to find that slavegirl shat the bed,
i'm not going "shit must die"
mircea_popescu: friend, and the last thing
I see before
I black out is a patch of yellow cheese powder inside her long tangled beard."
mircea_popescu: "Put another way, grep sells out its worst case (lots of partial matches) to make the best case (few partial matches) go faster. How treacherous! As this realization dawns on me, the room seemed to grow dim and slip sideways.
I look up at the Ultimate Unix Geek, spinning slowly in his padded chair, and
I hear his cackle "old age and treachery...", and in his flickering CRT there is a face reflected, but it's my ex girl
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: that's prolly put
i nthere special for shooting down ben_vulpes dating attempts in kindergarten.
chetty: And my girlfriend too, who's contractually obligated to pay attention to everything
I say./// that is so sad
mircea_popescu: "And, as everyone knows, the best way to get amazing results is to set arbitrary goals without any basis for believing they can be reached. So
I set out to search faster than grep by thirty percent." << damned straight. it's exactly how
i manage. especially those... contractually obligated, shall we say.
mircea_popescu: "
i used to be a pop star but then
i took a down to the knee"
mircea_popescu: jurov that's ok,
i'm unable to find working code anyway.
punkman: related,
I watched a cab driver fashion a cooling system for his lenovo tablet/gps thing because it'd overheat and shut down
mircea_popescu: currently for instance, cpanel forums require ssl, and so
i'm not visiting them.
i don't generally visit sites that don't have a
http version.
jurov:
i expect at least one round of redoing all the world if the derps succeed enforcing SSL everywhere
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel: 1. A WoT host has been mentioned a few times in the logs - MP's new hosts << yeah
i had sent teh guy an invite. all it takes is for him to actually show up etc.
mircea_popescu: lol
i go to bed, gabriel_laddel comes online. avoiding unpleasant convos yo ? :D
mircea_popescu:
i am at the forefront of people who noticed, and demand changes.
mircea_popescu:
i guess this could be progress. it could also be normalization. whatever it is...
mircea_popescu: IF
i am going to allow these retarded kids out of their basements and into society, they HAVE TO spiff up their act.
mircea_popescu: hm...
i think the ddos might still be on. that lolz dude left exactly 246 s after
i voiced him.
jurov:
i don't get you then at all
mircea_popescu:
i was ftr not proposing this was a thing at any point in the past.
