mircea_popescu: speaking of which -- anyone with a burning interest in the rainforests of asia ? it occurs to me it might be worth pinpointing a place by the criterion of "pantsuit radio silence" also.

mircea_popescu: by all means. the republic is eternal ; children are like ducklings, one day they http://trilema.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/best-in-the-world-13-560x373.jpg then you blink and they're 3 lbs being thrown into the pond. come back when you're mocky's age, you can have a lengthy history of java you daren't admit to the self you regret and you can go to burma or w/e. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: but i trust you to ~have read~ the woman's thing ~before~ you say it does something it does not in fact do.

mircea_popescu: and the problem is on clear display with the "i was sincerely confused" bit. you did the lowest possible effort attempt to get something out of it ; and in your case this was elevated into an actual minicrisis because i trust you.

mircea_popescu: but in any case, admonishments have nothing to do with any of this. i am stuck in the unenviable position of parenting an infantile adult woman, practically speaking, where i have to construct an image of committments ex post facto, from bits of pieces of silent activty. "oh, i wonder why she failed college, maybe it's because she's hooked up with some dood ?" sorta nonsense.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform good idea.

mircea_popescu: mod6 from my pov, you've transparently rotated from not being able to add to not being able to read ; and should something like "alf, do not speak to diana_coman anymore" should issue for some reason, you'll just move on to ~same somewhere else.

mircea_popescu: right.

mircea_popescu: anity, or anything, ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING else fuck it with a side order of marschino cherries, and let it be all damned. you've committed to working two jobs to raise some woman's kids, no other women will be considered, no other activities will be considered, just that and that alone until the proverbial http://trilema.com/2014/fred-quimby-and-ancient-evils/#selection-261.158-261.168 ; do i rather get the gist of it ?

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-14#1872207 << so practically speaking, http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-12#1871473 or not, http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-11#1870991 or not, you will ABSOLUTELY NOT get some sleep, or anything else in that vein. you will instead simply continue on your collision course, indefinitely and no matter what, and if the republic drops through the cracks fuck it, and if your own health does, or your own s ☝︎☝︎☝︎

mircea_popescu: what can i say.

mircea_popescu: no idea why you were using it.

mircea_popescu: heh. cool then

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo this blog disaster of yours has rescued a bunch of pingbacks you apparently never sent b4

mircea_popescu: ie, i can't distinguish his process from randomness.

mircea_popescu: problem is he hunts chunks of flotsam, rock etc half the time. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: i still don't know what you dislike about it, other than it's continued existence per se.

mircea_popescu: this is unrelated.

mircea_popescu: and no, thread that prompted me to publish the lulzitem was specifically the glib "oh, NOW here's shits and giggles"

mircea_popescu: if the hash is not there to carry load then why have it.

mircea_popescu: this intuition is not in fact proven.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-14#1872257 << i am not aware something better than oaep for rsa padding ~could in principle be had~, let alone actually is known to exist. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-14#1872250 << not so. i actually like it, as being one of the few proven-hard bits of the witches' brew we call crypto. ☝︎☟︎

mircea_popescu: o hai mod6

mircea_popescu: i meant diana_coman ah i see, you redid the whole tree, that was a patch.

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo trilema is mostly on myisam.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform oh i see, you redid the whole tree, that was a patch

mircea_popescu: right.

mircea_popescu: who the fuck would even consider such shaite.

mircea_popescu: "GDPR" heh,.

mircea_popescu: diana_coman where;d you end up with ye 2017 version from ? just used local copy, missed update ? ☟︎

mircea_popescu: http://thebitcoin.foundation/v/ << i suppose looking there would have made it obvious (check it out btw, 20th feb 2016, july 207, 22nd feb 2018!) ; but

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-14#1872142 << does it cancel anything ? ☝︎

mircea_popescu: ahh, but what a productive monday this has been!

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-13#1872093 << i utterly don't understand this "stealing" mindset. http://btcbase.org/log/2013-09-13#307975 ☝︎☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-29#1744472 << heh. aaanyway, it's not that g_l had necessarily a bad grasp of priors, but he did take them to strange, sometimes contorted conclusions. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-13#1872032 << hey, sinology very valid topic of study at republican ministry of foreign relations. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: ♖<< is this a chess piece (rook) ? ☟︎

mircea_popescu: that is http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-12#1871537 ☝︎

mircea_popescu: lumea s-a schimbat!!!

mircea_popescu: yes.

mircea_popescu: noo, didn't estlos make a lisp v ?

mircea_popescu: meanwhile in whatever, https://image.ibb.co/i6kXN0/idiots.jpg ☟︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-13#1871787 << afaik his lisptron works to spec, and ~only exists~ because everyone harped poetic about how great lisp "would be", only to predictably return to more brackish "we use python" once someone actually made something that'd need such a wonder as the inexistent lisp machine. ☝︎☟︎

mircea_popescu: splendid then

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-13#1871781 << one of you, diana_coman phf mod6 asciilifeform do me a favour and properly genesisize v.pl huh! ☝︎

mircea_popescu: heh

mircea_popescu: verily.

mircea_popescu: is it worse to fail in your attempt to unify all germany around you rather than "die Kais’rin hat sich mit dem Franzosen alliiert" austrian schmucks ? or to succed only to fail a few short decades later, twice, and over the fucking failure of your admiral to BRAVERY ?

mircea_popescu: not much less, either.

mircea_popescu: (which, incidentally, is the scientific name for http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-16#1799837 and http://btcbase.org/log/2015-06-12#1161937 indistinctly ) ☝︎☝︎

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform right, point being "if the baby fails to grow up the house it lived in will be taken over by rats". ie, K selection failure leads to r overwhelming it.

mircea_popescu: !Qlater tell spyked to continue the thing that never ends : http://trilema.com/2012/generatia-fara/#footnote_0_34776 <<->> http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-18#1802173 ☝︎

mircea_popescu: ah that's possible, yeah

mircea_popescu: goes with that whole http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-27#1729826 ☝︎

mircea_popescu: well, apparently i can't find it anymore. is line in log somewhere, "if you understand, like ro girls understood in the 90s, that your cunt does not belong to you, the place will stay cool for slightly longer" or somesuch.

mircea_popescu: how. i'll tell you fucking how.

mircea_popescu: the item i present would be improvement, and the costs for the improvement are externalised (ie, not borne by they benefitting)

mircea_popescu: sadly, this is quite so.

mircea_popescu: should have taken the fucking buildings.

mircea_popescu: also works.

mircea_popescu: leaving the "french" ie algerians literally the bare ground.

mircea_popescu: respectively, russians going over to paris, taking all the huysmans building and movingthem in voronetz reservation/park.

mircea_popescu: and i don't mean, "stop feeding", i mean chinese troops marching in new york, tearing down statue of liberty to replace with huge penis, and forcing everyone to do by-hand electronics picking for the rest of their miserable woirtheless lives.

mircea_popescu: just a bunch of inept niggers. ran away from missouri century ago, recreated missouri in michigan.

mircea_popescu: chicago is a sort of indiana. there is no other market.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you don't understand how useless the anglos are. do you know that in ALL OF CHICAGO 100% of the "bitcoin market" consists of this one inept fed ? ☟︎

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform china (prolly + russia) vs us and its colonies.

mircea_popescu: i fucking hope there's a war already.

mircea_popescu: "our commitment to protect our citizens from child predators, terrorists, violent extremists and other illicit actors." << o look, it expanded.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-13#1871767 << i can see it. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-13#1871739 << jesus fuck this is what people don't like about emulators. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: (art here is used in the classical, and only proper sense. same cognate as "artificial", not "artistic". there is no such fucking thing as "artistic" not anymore than there's "tech industry" or "nation of africa" -- broken abstractions borne of "perceived need" of the ignorant)

mircea_popescu: everything requires maintenance. that's the difference of art : man made, requires maintenance.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and aqueduct also exciting for medieval town ?

mircea_popescu: roman art WAS workaday obj lol

mircea_popescu: the reason "roman art treasure lie forgotten" was specifically that what the fuck is german peasant to do with it lmao.

mircea_popescu: or at any rate the only available approximation thereof.

mircea_popescu: cuz it is dear life.

mircea_popescu: cuz you can fucking tell, a little lantern with mirrors in a case.

mircea_popescu: i visited this jewish doctor here, and he looked at my retinas, with this old set he had. i asked him how old it is, and he said "maybe thirty years". "yeah, thirty years counting from the 90s ?"

mircea_popescu: and, amusingly, everyone's now a "designer", that design's so fucking dead... do you ever look at classical soviet oh of courese you do, the buran discussion right ? that item had a line to it, and you can tell from a glance it was made by humans.

mircea_popescu: the fucking line. pen on a paper.

mircea_popescu: lots of that. but really it comes down to http://trilema.com/2015/what-was-the-lomax-any-why-was-it-there-and-who-could-have-lifted-it-to-take-it-somewhere/#selection-67.0-67.13 versus https://www.amore.ng/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Leonardo-Da-Vinci-Jesus-YouTube.jpg and guess what the fuck wins.

mircea_popescu: aha.

mircea_popescu: wheel -- turns -- ALWAYS THE SAME WAY. exept sameness visible only retrospectively.

mircea_popescu: funnily enough, a) he thought he had found "the west indies" and b) he landed on some skirting islands, never found mainland.

mircea_popescu: an obscure man named something or the other sorta-landed on the shore of crypto a few years ago.

mircea_popescu: either that or 1492 and cinquecento about to turn in

mircea_popescu: some guys draw correct lines, that's all there is to it.

mircea_popescu: there is such a thing as an incorrect line -- proven by the fact that the overwhelmingly vast majority of them are.

mircea_popescu: "fuck you, i'll burn your fambly in da vinci's oven to heat him while he draws another"

mircea_popescu: "but mp, why do you think these squigglies are worth millions, there's not even color on them"

mircea_popescu: the problem of art is that the freehand line is the hardest thing i nthe world. put pen to paper, and draw it, and see.

mircea_popescu: nfi, but i'm not even discussing that. i am discussing THE LINE

mircea_popescu: i'd rather have bayernische body hammered back into an approximation of its original, genotypic shape, than mexican body as its mom made it.

mircea_popescu: because i get it, toyota "new from factory", but it's a stupid fucking factory i want little do to with.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes. this is the fucking problem, if faced with the choice of the crashed bmw or the new toyota i'd still buy and fix the crashed bmw.

mircea_popescu: (and this, for the record, is also why i think very little of eg pete_dushenski's private committments : http://trilema.com/2015/very-bad-things/#selection-37.0-37.32 female misbehaviour exists ~specifically~ and strictly and only because they're covering up for this fundamental "between boys and walls daddy chose walls, don't upset him".

mircea_popescu: so in a very specific, and very purple and meaty sense, the moronic lartinos are way the fuck ahead of the moronic anglos.
