asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-31#1707320 << this knife has another edge, ben_vulpes . most commercial ops don't have the budget ( time, mainly , but money also ) for ActuallyWorksAndFitsInHead(tm). ( picture, if you will, ffa as a commercial project at a secular software co ) ☝︎

PeterL: ah, thanks for the voice
BingoBoingo: I'm very uncertain. It's easy to know pantsuit eats their own. I lack a refined oracle atm for which demographic pantsuit eats next.
BingoBoingo: Sure, not worth forcasting that in detail, but it is useful to have an idea where floods first.
BingoBoingo: Which means it may show aggression beyond its station and try bullying bigger commercial vessels out of their lanes to its loss and actual people's inconvenience.
mircea_popescu: there is that.
mircea_popescu: i measure the whore's performance not her internal states.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I doubt it's a folding to Republican ideology so much as "Remember how popular Black Lives Matter was electorally..."
BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> BingoBoingo: actually now that you mention it, i hopped on a scale for lulz recently and realized that i should really stop calibrating my intake against hers << Smoking cessation invokes a similar realization when the implication of one's resting heartrate falling to a human value from a near avian value on basal metabolism hits

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-31#1707293 << in fairness, they folded "their oppinion" / alligned to republica ideology WAY the fuck earlier this time around. ☝︎

ben_vulpes: even he almost gets it, "oh yeah, they just poured the whole sugar bag of syntax in. javascript has python, c#, you name it."
ben_vulpes: i tell you, listening to the young feller who shares the toxic trainstation orifice with me prattle on about the majesty of es6 takes what wind is left in the sails of trying to fix a young man's mind clean to /dev/null
ben_vulpes: a headline that won't make the cut this evening: "<something> Javascript: It can work"
asciilifeform: gestapotronic colour treekiller , neh
ben_vulpes: you can tell it's artisinal asymmetric warfare gear by the vintage yellow dots on the manual ☟︎
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: all the printed matter is on www also. but dead tree is backup ( and asciilifeform likes hard copies ... )
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: we had one go to argentiniatan an' back: 0 inner bubblez popped...

mircea_popescu: tho maybe he wants to usew you know, his own name. Bryan Bishop's Actual Science Report.
BingoBoingo: <kanzure> mircea_popescu: the trick is convincing everyone to give me their science each day. most people just say "nah you'd die from information overload" but they haven't tried. << Have you tried building an obelisk for your science. I hear it works wonders.
BingoBoingo: * asciilifeform was about to ask 'she ain't named tanja lange...?' lol << LOLOLOLOLOL
BingoBoingo: <gabriel_laddel_p> do they? << Yes, unless you want to be gimped for life. It's a permanent hit to your hitpoints
mircea_popescu: that's whart a fucking library is for in the first place.
mircea_popescu: but don't put in the wrong figures.
asciilifeform: 'but pray tell mr babbage, if i put into the machine the wrong figures...'
mircea_popescu: arxive is jwz through and through. most all of it is crap.
mircea_popescu: maybe he's nuts enough to actually act autonomously, who knows.
asciilifeform: this is so. but in the process exposed that whole edifice is a prestigefarm: 'it won't get me tenuretracked at shitbridge, why should i print there'
asciilifeform: btw worth recalling the fate of various 'open access journal'
mircea_popescu: which should answer #hpluswhatwas it's curiosity. i can coerce, because people can't live with themselves if they don't do as i say. a lesson some learn on own skin and some intuit naturally.
mircea_popescu: he -- thinks otherwise.
mircea_popescu: but this is why i'm not telling you to do it.
asciilifeform: and i suspect that there are no cutlets in there.
asciilifeform: would have to separate the flies from the cutlets tho
mircea_popescu: ALL this takes is to have a basis. it'll acrete once that is large enough.
mircea_popescu: he can type fast.
mircea_popescu: "i want my computer to lisp because i want to inspect the trees and i think science should be in acrylate slices, like the fucking horses"
mircea_popescu: what, you weren't there, what the fuck happened ?
mircea_popescu: not so idiots could "oh noes, typography, like in a book"
mircea_popescu: it's why we even made the fucking net in the first fucking place motherfuckers.
mircea_popescu: for the inept "typographic" qualities you gain with dejavu and it's shittier monkistan degradations, you LOSE OUT!!! on the only important thing. the only thing that fucking matters. the hyperlinking.
mircea_popescu: this is 100 times more valuable than "oh noes, i drew out my product symbol hurr"
kanzure: mircea_popescu: the trick is convincing everyone to give me their science each day. most people just say "nah you'd die from information overload" but they haven't tried.
mircea_popescu: just like select-link to trilema/archive.is works now
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the WHOLE POINT is to get future science to hyperlink old articles. ☟︎
asciilifeform: ( it doesn't texthighlight, however )
mircea_popescu: kanzure you could probably RETYPE, by your own hand, all the science worth existing being produced each day thrice over.
asciilifeform: http://www.loper-os.org/pub/hl/hl.html << example of one 'handmade' alternative to djvu & similar ☟︎
mircea_popescu: inquire with teh tulpas.
kanzure: hmm. that's unsettling.
kanzure: i called you an idiot and you gave me money. the non-registration goes both ways.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes yes, it's a better turdormat.
mircea_popescu: omfg my derrogatories don't even register with this guy.
kanzure: anyway, i agree that the data is in terrible format, should be fixed before dumping 50 TB of crap on everyone
kanzure: i haven't checked if that's the case.
kanzure: do you feel bad knowing that it's for vampire fanfic? is that something you really want to know?
mircea_popescu: html of text plus img WHEN NEEDED. that's what science is.
gabriel_laddel_p: off for a few days to heal, work & catch up on logs. nice chatting.
mircea_popescu: im not aware the shitpiles are allowed in here. but perhaps.
gabriel_laddel_p: mircea_popescu: criuise ships don't really check ID + bribes exist. I can probably take a one way cruise, hop off & become someone else if I felt like putting in the effort/
a111: Logged on 2017-08-31 02:28 asciilifeform: i had nfi it were possible to be 'banned from berkeley' - what is this, 1500s germany?
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-31#1707010 << i expect it's mostly a sign of recognition. his narrative seems to confirm. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: well, before money, some thought.
gabriel_laddel_p: imho, throw money at problem, goes away like most else.
mircea_popescu: eh, all the peta dorks have passports.
gabriel_laddel_p: mircea_popescu: inside research lab. at night. with no ID to be in there.
mircea_popescu: has to be federal, which wouldn't be for "trespassing" ie i got drunk at a party.
mircea_popescu: afaik unless felon, can get passport. talk to a mexican lawyer.
gabriel_laddel_p: mircea_popescu: I'm not a felon. trespassing & petty theft + ignored warrants for years.
kanzure: yes but the scihub person isn't do that :(
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel_p so what's a plane to cr, 500 bux
mircea_popescu: throw up MOST of the papers, establish a level they have to meet, be the king of angloscience.
mircea_popescu: AND the fact of the matter is that the whole "scientific community" is a bunch of desperate teenaged cunts. all they need is a trump to pussygrab them, and they're cheering for his appearnce.
gabriel_laddel_p: sf sucks. tsmr rocks.
gabriel_laddel_p: mircea_popescu: fwiw, can't wait for the 5-10 years or w/e to come meet irl at some point.
mircea_popescu: kanzure the crap i mean, actual bad "research" papers.
gabriel_laddel_p: rich kids who think they're clever hate this, apparently.
