mircea_popescu: it's funny how good education ~always~ comes down to a woman with a whip.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman actually the way it played out was imo the best possible outcome.
mircea_popescu is vaguely envious of phf's adolescentine paradise. i expect they were all lanky slav coughars with uncharacteristically large tits for that type, and spent a lot of time doing stuff in the nude
mircea_popescu: and so the highschool admitted 17 more people into it, off the end of the list.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman the way this worked was, "gpa over X", which meant 8 people out of the region. then everyone went into the normal-great classes. but THEN it came word from the miniostry that they won't run a class for 8 people
mircea_popescu: diana_coman cluj suprareal cca late 1990s had exactly ONE girl in the set of 8 people that were accepted on merit, and about 14 in the set of 17 others who were accepted to pad the class so it may be made.
mircea_popescu: PeterL "nobody kept in touch with the smart women they met so they have no proposals to make so the list is mostly guys"
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes you know for everyone from europe public school = best school. private school is where people with money send their retarded offspring to keep up the pretense.
mircea_popescu: thanks got PeterL was confused earlier eh ben_vulpes ?
mircea_popescu: also, i thought kakobrekla was a girl ? no ? because -a ?
mircea_popescu: either that or more women that went to school for purposes other than talking about boys.
mircea_popescu: in any case we're early here, two months til april, and then all of april.
mircea_popescu: and if one isn't a lord... well... why would they want it ? fucking milstone around one's neck of the first degree.
mircea_popescu: my doctrine is that it's the simplest thing in the world for a lord to get his seat.
mircea_popescu: then he came back there was a bit of trouble, but nothing we can't handle.
mircea_popescu: hey, when richard was gone to the crusades forever they put john on the throne.
mircea_popescu: understand, this "different files" is flimsy as fuck. for all you know the "same files" are not really the same at all - their content changed.
mircea_popescu: you necessarily and always specify the order when you write the patch, because it includes the hash of the thing you want it applied on top of.
mircea_popescu: thye chain you see, X is applied on "that patch with hash h1", ie G ; and in turn Y is applied to "that patch with hash h2", ie X
mircea_popescu: well i have nfi what you mean by "same level", but to my eyes and from graph theory considerations it would mean "patches applied atop the same one patch"
mircea_popescu: PeterL> or am I totally confused? << a patch can only be safely applied to its antecedent. two patches at the same level CAN NOT be both applied by definition.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: you can thank ben_vulpes for making work for everyone!

http://trilema.com/2016/the-lordship-list-third-year/ mircea_popescu: ;;google the mailman always petes the door three times
mircea_popescu: i never expected him to not show up under his PROFESSIONAL names...
☟︎ mircea_popescu: in other news of no particular interest, long sloppy blowjob the night before means you'll be picking red hairs out of your crotch for the rest of the morning.
mircea_popescu: as you can see my dear vulpes, it's not that we're BORN any better. it's that we've been doing something about it since then.
mircea_popescu: it's just the plastic wanna-be crap, has nothing to do with bitcoin
mircea_popescu: eh, wipe all licenses. tmsr does not honor agreements between parties not attached to the wot.
mircea_popescu: it's all fine and dandy, makes up the very characteristic weird we've come to love under the label alf, but do not expect it's a consideration (or even meaningful) for anyone else.
☟︎ mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-02-2016#1400259 <<< i'm with ben and the whole rest of the world on this. you display a very entrenched form of stockholm syndrome. not just here - but in all points of confort. can't move out of dc because it's the only swamp in the world with lid suspension and hotplugging something or the other, gotta use apple because insanoarcana, etc.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: which i suspect is the proximate reason no blame attached to buzzdave
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo yeh. course, fpga thing even then counted more like amateur hour than anything.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the winds have pointedly turned against apple. the time when they did that "we'll brick your device if you used other parts in it" thing i'd arbitrarily pick as the jumping the shark moment. but in any case : apple is for the next decade a company to sell, not to hold and CERTAINLY not to buy.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: oddly enough, the io constraindness of the bitcoin makes for better ssd fit.
mircea_popescu: write endurance is notably not a major point of interest for bitcoin node ssds. the way it works is that most of the files are stable forever, and you have a hot end you keep adding to. this is a match made in heaven for ssds, they can use the spare capacity to compensate for your rewrites and once done it's done.
mircea_popescu: how about you vouch for your spanish. pick any of my articles that discuss argentina and show me!
mircea_popescu: shinohai do you charge a lot and is your spanish very good ?
mircea_popescu: shinohai for that reason! 500gb is enough for now. 1tb in a few years, will be cheaper.
mircea_popescu: people are fucking late. shoulda derped about how dead it is back then.
mircea_popescu: anyway, looking at the graphs bitcoin ~was~ actually dead march to about sept 2015/
mircea_popescu: but then because of that very increase, ironically, even if they eat 2x as much the 2nd year, they can only maange a measly 3x
mircea_popescu: so far it'd be a knob connected to not very much. once we have an actually meaningful protocol, then.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the definition of "nonstandard tx" is iffy.
mircea_popescu: "Much later, in 1993, the specific online design processes we used were later studied and written up by researchers at the MIT Sloan School [Yates93]." << word.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform just so you know, ima refer to this thing liberally whenever you bitch at me about things.
mircea_popescu: "As of next Thursday, ITS will be flushed in favor of TOPS-10. Please update your programs."
mircea_popescu: empted to set up some formats for writing a manual. When that produced something pleasant to look at, it occurred to me that I should just make a whole manual about MACLISP."
mircea_popescu: During all of this, I picked up a lot of trivia about the MACLISP language, which was not very well-documented. David Moon had written a manual a few years earlier, but it was out of date and featured primarily the Honeywell Multics implementation of MACLISP, not the PDP10 implementation. Also, as it happened, Don Knuth had just come out with TEX typesetting language and I was looking for possible uses for it, so I att
mircea_popescu: I spent nearly all of my hours at the Lab, often to the detriment of my class work, which is why I took 5 years to graduate. During my time there, I worked mostly for credit, only very occasionally for tiny amounts of money—about $5 per hour for a small number of hours a week programming MACSYMA, as I recall. Most of my time was as a volunteer, and in that time I did some additional work on MACSYMA but also some pers
mircea_popescu: , I immediately went to the several other undergraduates working on the same project and said, “they don’t know we’re not supposed to have offices.” But soon we all did have offices, or at least desks in offices with dedicated VT52 terminals atop them. My office was shared with Guy Steele, co-inventor of the SCHEME programming language, and JonL White, author and maintainer of the MACLISP compiler.
mircea_popescu: "ne day while working with the MACSYMA group, I was around when someone was assigning offices—or desks, really, since offices were generally shared. “Where is mine?” I asked, somewhat jokingly. As far as I knew, only graduate students were entitled to offices. The person doing the arranging didn’t realize I was joking and responded in seriousness that he didn’t know and would try to find one for me. Of course
