mircea_popescu: ic auction of furniture". and then cleared the hall of pressjews with the mounted police, breaking
as many heads
as at all possible.
a111: Logged on 2017-09-30 19:26 asciilifeform: modern historians paint the textbook edits, 'gentle suggestions', etc.
as an evil, but
as i see it the man went and 'tried soft power' first
mircea_popescu: granted disagrees with boneheaded traditions identifying the latter
as this guy who was you know, active throughout the 70s and 80s.
mircea_popescu: ok so, for summation : the objection re the gazette was that it said something about rosa luxembourg (
as the habit was to glorify the three l's, and stalin wanted it broken) ; the objection re ryazanov was that he typified a sort of marxist-leninist scholarship that was stalin-indifferent, stalin didn't like. and the objection re yaroslavski was that his original, 1920s item reflected a history not sufficiently flattering for
mircea_popescu: sorry asciilifeform . all i have are my own notes, which are
as all hand notes useless without hte backing of the library of origin (in this case, the universitary library of cluj). teh interwebs dun seem to have a "here's the list of trotsky letters".
☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway, fwiw slavsky is identified
as Yemelyan Mikhailovich Yaroslavsky. and reich is likely zinaida, esenin's wif.
mircea_popescu: you wanna know which fucking slavsky he supposedly strangled,
as it's not the yefrim director of medium machinery ministry, who survived to the 80s ?
mod6: but am flexible. my basic aim is to write the code, keep it
as tight and functionally appropriate
as possible, then tune it later.
mod6: but
as far
as I can tell, there is no way to do that in ada. the general thing i've seen out on the web is that you must write the output of the shell command to a file, then read it back in.
mod6: Another thing worth the mention is that my ada-vtron shells out to gpg - which adds some time
as well. one thing I think that would help is if I could figure out how to capture the shell command output directly back into the application instead of having to write to a file, then read the file back into the program.
mircea_popescu: basically it's a violin using a metal plate
as a mechanical amplifier. early 1900s idea.
mircea_popescu: known
as "vioara cu goarna" in romanian (higheghe cu tolcer in local dialect ; stroh violin in other local dialect) if you want to look it up yourself. it's the chosen / symbolic instrument of bihor country in transylvania, but widely used in teh nortern countries (of romania).

as not to stand out from the scenery when fighting on planets with pink vegetation and soil, clearly
mircea_popescu: (gentle reminder : the odds of father being same race
as mother is a hefty 99.5% today ; about same
as it was in times and places where it was actually illegal.)
mircea_popescu: hence why they are called socialists ; just
as much so
as their brethren pushing ourdemocracy.
mircea_popescu: in fact, i'd even declare it an absolutely required bit of republican computing,
as such. because it does make a first step towards the specifically stated uci goal, "location ambiguity"
a111: Logged on 2017-09-26 15:45 asciilifeform: in other lulzies,
https://archive.is/roEgM >> privesc 0day : '...all versions of CentOS 7 before 1708 (released on September 13, 2017), all versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 before 7.4 (released on August 1, 2017), and all versions of CentOS 6 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 are exploitable' << Aaaaaaand
as usual linus sat on the goods since april, because 'responsible'
mircea_popescu: i'd propose
as heuristics from this that the moment anyone proposes either a) a computable corolary of ZFC, no matter its kind or b) a computable corolary of AOC, no matter its kind, we're lost for reason.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no cube can be written
as a sum of two co-primes raised to the power of three or above.
mircea_popescu: none of this is dispositive ; what i'm saying here is that im pretty sure i read this, and it didn't come through
as much more than tyhe usual math grad wank to me.
mircea_popescu: and it requires more than that, if you step out of haskell and try to c, nonsense such
as "universal computability", which falls apart the moment you are invited to do relatively "simple" things such
as write cubes
as sums of coprimes raised to large powers.
mircea_popescu: all the people going "oh, it's against nature" have NO FUCKING IDEA whatsoever
as to nature.
mircea_popescu: actually i recall at some point bring well known super -NP, proven
as such, classes.
mircea_popescu: "in any amount of water there's some nonzero information
as to the original solutes"
mircea_popescu: "for
as long
as the plaintext went through alfhash, it is known
as a mathematical fact, irrespecvtive of any considerations, that so many steps must be undertaken to undo it"
mircea_popescu: the correct measurement of hash strength includes two parties, defined
as : party A, which knows the plaintext and computes the hash ; and party B, which does not know the plaintext and computes it on the basis of nothing but the hash.
ben_vulpes: cruciform: gpg keys of greater than 2048 bits expose you to retardation in gpg
as well
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform pictures davout
as having the same job
as the bear in old american cartoon 'tail spin', and so he dun have net access often from the old flyin'boat << AHA, you do remember Disney other than jaundiced pooh
mircea_popescu: but much like all property is presumed of the crown, with random sefs such
as yourself merely in tenous tenancy (known
as precaria, historically), which is why you can have things such
as "cases in rem", because the court admits no ownership vested IN PERSONS
trinque: mircea_popescu: incompetence or malice, what the fuck is this 6am to 9am
as a service window shit?
diana_coman: asciilifeform, I follow the part re make your own hands - thing there is that there IS gain in that expenditure of time; and that gain is arguably more than the 15 bucks; however, I don't follow how does that lead to "makes sense just
as much to collect coupons /whatevs "
mircea_popescu: there's no way out of this. if you don't write, you have to read, such
as the thing you linked.
diana_coman: sure, nothing wrong with that in itself; still for FG
as it is and given "it's underpriced anyway" ...surprising; that's it, all of it
mircea_popescu: in any case the amd cpu i bought was underpriced both at list price and at 2nd hand price. cuz i sure
as fuck ain'\t making one in my laundry room out of lint and wall shavings for less than a few hundred.
mircea_popescu:
as it happens in the case of FG afaik aftermarket is actually more expensive than list price, ie it's more like collected art than used cars, but to find that out you gotta ask, and the question sounds exactly like "any discount rembrandts around ?"
mircea_popescu: legitimate question. you all look on amazon. there's such a thing
as a car aftermarket. what of it.
a111: Logged on 2017-09-26 05:10 mircea_popescu: check out the dumb broad, she imagines moneymaking scales, rich dude is going to get into the same arrangements with her
as rando highschool boyfriend would.
diana_coman: well, it's not whatever really;
as far
as I know there is only one maker of FG; and moreover, if I think the "widget" is underpriced then no, I don't waste time running around to ask maybe it's even more underpriced sort of thing
mircea_popescu: this means one of two things -- either they're run
as state offices on the federal budget (which means they will turn from profitable to shit over a generation or two) or else they are run by rando scammers, trying to do the whole aluminum siding bit.
mircea_popescu: check out the dumb broad, she imagines moneymaking scales, rich dude is going to get into the same arrangements with her
as rando highschool boyfriend would.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: there;s this feedback loop for writers. it's great to write->publish->read. think of it
as a special sort of ooda loop.
elaineo: i don't think academia is
as retarded
as it's portrayed in MSM. they amplify the worst parts
deedbot: mircea_popescu rated elaineo 2 << somehow manages to write unirritatingly while also academia. i have yet no theory
as to how this is possible.
