asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i was quite certain that djb is gone for good when 0 replies to multiple attempted reach-outs re phuctor.
erlehmann: mircea_popescu if you like RTS without multiplayer, i suggest to try out liberation circuit. the math seems to be fixed-point only, so real-time multiplayer should be possible if you can wade through the abysmal codebase.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: oh and coauthored with nadia heninger
erlehmann: mircea_popescu only by mail. apparently he writes games on windows with code::blocks. i wrote a dofile and contributed some features.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that djb piece is epic multilayer shitsandwich : he advocates 1TB+ keys; consisting of MANY (i.e. smaller!) primes ; and because 'quantum apocalypse'
erlehmann: mircea_popescu a real time strategy game by linley henzell (who created overgod and garden of colored lights) where every unit is programmed in a language not entirely unlike C.

erlehmann: mircea_popescu maggot. a maggot is what makes a fly.

phf: mircea_popescu: dribble's already taken http://clhs.lisp.se/Body/f_dribbl.htm
erlehmann: mircea_popescu i think i do understand the many implementations thing. data that flowing over abstraction boundaries has the potential to trigger a holographic fracture (i believe that is how it is called). to prevent this, you need a parser and an unparser and both need to have the same grammar (max deterministic context-free) and check it.
erlehmann: mircea_popescu i was not aware a) registering is possible b) registering is desirable for me. so what do i get out of it and if i want to do it, how?
erlehmann: mircea_popescu i also recommend http://langsec.org/papers/curing-the-vulnerable-parser.pdf

asciilifeform: however asciilifeform's tastes are approx. mircea_popescu's-with-a-minus-sign, and aspects of this are detectable with naked eye even.
asciilifeform: but i have nfi what mircea_popescu keeps as 'inpatient' pets.
asciilifeform: ( on other hand there is some variation in tastes : e.g. it seems to asciilifeform that he likes gurlz with fully 2x the live mass of the ones in mircea_popescu's photos, for instance )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu had some article where he describes the process. but what's the worst 'patient' he cured ?
a111: Logged on 2017-05-24 16:37 mircea_popescu: gotta be teh dreamers, that's the only way the batshit insane expectations of 8 bn heros in their own stories can be "satisfied" after a fashion.
asciilifeform: i encountered this nonsense when i built my very first prototype rng, iirc mircea_popescu even turned the resulting dialogue into a whole post on his www

asciilifeform: i wouldn't. for all i know, mircea_popescu works on it, in his dirigible, and never said a word.
asciilifeform: and yeah sure whatevers, folx who ain't mircea_popescu and can't make thousand btc / hr by farting in spare time, 'don't belong, oughta slice lengthwise!111' sure.
asciilifeform: by same logic, say, mircea_popescu drinking fine whiskey is -ev -- he ain't getting any fatter, martian farmer looking on earthlings as cattle will say 'why this fine specimen is being fed non-nutritive thing'
asciilifeform: incidentally pretty good analogy -- a handful of very rich ~and eccentric~ folx had personally-owned pdp8, say; but many in fact thought 'computer is neato, but only good for accounting, i'll buy one for office', just as mircea_popescu immediately went 'yacht is for whoring, wtf, idiot, to think of living in one'
