mircea_popescu: fucking state in the string processor, are you kidding me ?
mircea_popescu: if i take a buffer, split it up in words, and give you some and him some, and you convert them to strings and give them back, i must be able to reconsturct the original buffer without possibility of error.
mircea_popescu: but the fucking concept of putting a turing complete machine in the bitstream/string mapping has got to fucking burn already. who the fuck even hatched this idiocy.
mircea_popescu: you'll still going to have to do some porting. just as long as it's not 52 or some other mit-esque idiocy, should really not be a big deal.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, im not sure what the benefit from the old machines perspective is for the char to be 16 rather than 64.
mircea_popescu: the current tech pretty much run its course, wetware or w/e comes next will prolly not do bits)
mircea_popescu: (it seems perhaps a smart move to actually make it 64 bit - for one thing there will probablyt never be 128 bit machines.
mircea_popescu: but today machines are 64 bit. for all i care your alphabet can be on 64 bit chars.
mircea_popescu: alternatively, you can instruct your fucking display to do any rot-13 you prefer on glyphs and chars.
mircea_popescu: also, i am not in the sliughtest against 16 bit chars.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform as long as "unicode was sent" neatly transforms into "we received a broken string of ascii" all is well.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform same as what means cleanly in medicine : is it a fistula or a bump.
mircea_popescu: i'd personally much prefer unicode join the scrap heap with "pki", dns, ntp etc.
mircea_popescu: gaming being 32% of time spent on mobiles in 2014, 15% in 2015.
mircea_popescu: "The top games on mobile in 2015 are the same games that were at the top of the charts in 2012" << if that pond ain't dead...
mircea_popescu: bitcoin.info tries to hijack everyone's servers by having them run some closed source item.
mircea_popescu: >Existing users, beginning January 1st 2016 you will need to complete a brief installation of a local service in order to continue using this API. Please follow the installation instructions below.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: it's unclear that giving away coca-cola for free specifically hurts the thing coca-cola is a head of.
mircea_popescu: some people didn't really want to have said what they did in fact say back in 2012! awww!
mircea_popescu: notice how the mpoe-pr blowing the cover off pirate is on page 41 in 2013, around the middle, but on page 40 right at the top in 2015 ?
mircea_popescu: shinohai mind using direct links rather than that crap ?
mircea_popescu: but more than on one occasion i could tell the 30-something year old's past by my own cinavia, and the situation was pretty much exactly "i brought her up here after the first date and basically - she never left"
mircea_popescu: WHY thefuck would someone WANT one of these is beyond the scope of this article, or my capacity to reason.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform honestly i think it's nest building. dudes have discovered that the way to attract washed up ex-whores in family mode is to fill the fridge and mega-tv-couch arrangement.
mircea_popescu: TOTALLY worth seeing random schmuck doing nothing in 7k px
mircea_popescu: and on it... they watch dumbass 2nd hand us sitcoms and mexican tv productions.
mircea_popescu: that's the other thing you know, every other derp here that i ever visit has bought a huge tv, oft times at a cost that compares to that of his car.
mircea_popescu: but, tv format, who cares, you can push it into one cd per season.
mircea_popescu: punkman do you actually watch these or just collect them ?
mircea_popescu: seriously, if you can't paint a canvas within 10x10, or if you can't tell your story in 700mb, you've got other problems than painting or making movies.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: punkman he was ? who the fuck cares about the consumer here that i may negrate him!
mircea_popescu: (and yes, my despise of laptops and crapple-ade is well grounded in this strategic choice made 25 years ago. if it is not programmable i am not buying it!)
mircea_popescu: i've never bought any of the non-computing computer crap since the fucking 90s. which includes no fucking playstation, no "analog video camera" no bs.
mircea_popescu: even better : don't use any electronics with closed bullshit. what, can't play on computor ?
mircea_popescu: (prolly not worth caring to, afaik the only utility of "NN"/"AI" image recognition to date is to recognize films)
mircea_popescu: lulzy bullshit a la cinavia is trivially defeated if you care to, irrespective of how the material was obtained.
mircea_popescu: (this, for any deeply insecure personalities that may be reading the logs, does neither say that big is good thus therefore bigger is necessarily better, nor does it propose that there can't be a "big enough". so simmer down.)
mircea_popescu: ima try to identify the mammaries and pick the species with the largest ones as a candidate for intelligence.
mircea_popescu: but the fact remains that if i am examining the photo data from foreign planet with life on it,
mircea_popescu: (and yes - it's not "the ability to communicate", as early darwinists thought, out of their inclination towards pious frauds to favour socialism, that distinguishes us from animals. nor is it "an ability to make and use tools", as the 50s folk retreated to in desperation. no, none of that - just this, that our females have tits so deeply disproportionate to their bodies it is unseen in nature. CIVILISATION!)
mircea_popescu: it's not too hard to discover that small tits and annoying, nagging, deeply insecure personality correlate quite well in practice, and so the historical male preference for big tits that actually drove the monstrous mamomegalia that principally distinguishes us from monkeys could well be rather explainable.
mircea_popescu: the temptation to presume this somehow invalidates the curriculum and teachers' approach however is not necessarily warranted. it may be that women with better tits are simply better women overall, which includes both an ability and an interest in learning.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and we know for a fact that the tits ~were~ a major factor in the academic performance of these girls, because the better boobs (with maybe one exception) agglomerate at the front and between the teachers.
mircea_popescu: note however the incidence of decent boobs in the population. out of 8 visible, 3 or 4 are miserable, 3 or 4 are acceptable, 2 or 3 pretty good actually.
mircea_popescu: more like japanese basic literacy school for islanders.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes> i am categorically unqualified to opine on this << wasn't a matter of cryptography, merely of you know, "what's reasonable management of contest"
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo> punkman: Also they stole hanbot's pirateat40 joke for their exchange name << 24`733 people around the world tried to run off with shit and it still didn't work for them.
mircea_popescu: more\s the case - the endless list of us derpage gives us a list of concrete violations to take to those who facilitate the activities of the international crime syndicate. we can say to these people : the us is a rogue state. you further their conspiracies at your personal risk.
mircea_popescu: “[The Antiguan legal victory] gives us a concrete decision to take to others who facilitate SlySoft and their business. We can say to those who do business with them: ‘This is an illegal activity’,” AACS’s lawyer added.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i don't get it, derpy windows-based, closed source dvd copy thing ?
mircea_popescu: in other news, french chief poof is visiting buenos aires
