i suppose the first step in the wonderful world of language is the kid's "what incantations do" rather than "what does this mean". takes a considerable time exposed to "she is your genie, ask what you will, she'll produce it" sorta situation for the former to mutate into the latter, "what the fuck am
i asking these genies to do here!"

i started with adaism,
i initially found the preservation of indexing in array-slices annoying. but then saw the wisdom, it whips programmer into having a much firmer grasp of wtf he is doing.
mircea_popescu: Mocky we're in the same time distortion field.
i recall people dead for centuries as if we just interrupted a coffee conversation days ago ;
i forgot idiots
i met yesterday as if milennia had passed.
mircea_popescu: poor danielpbarron,
i'm starting to understand his problem : specifically because
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-18#1881534 ie much lower intellectual bar, it is actually WAY THE FUCK EASIER to sell his church than the republic, to the sort of random interneteer. memory vs thought, hands down easier to memorize than structure the world.

i did not tell him to join, and
i have given up on reaching that crowd
stratum: If individuals want to communicate using heavily encrypted sneakernet to avoid NSA goons, that is certainly okay by me. But
I don't see that happening for the billions any time soon.

I think it is probably better than nothing, just like easily popped household locks.
☟︎☟︎☟︎ stratum:
I doubt any locksmith, who knows how easily they can be defeated, is arguing against locks for the average person, grandmas, and such. It seems like the argument against
https from the likes of dpb is an argument of this type, in my opinion.
stratum: Most people don't even have one "box" -- More and more browsing from their phones as their sole computing device, billions of them.
I think there is a disconnect in what we're discussing: which is why
I mention RMS and his helpers.
Mocky: also re bot,
I do see the underlying problem that is revealed when someone says "oh hey, never thought of..."
stratum:
I think most IRC people would be more concerned with some random internet jackoff fucking with them than GCHQ.
stratum:
I do not recall any skeptical talk about rsa, though,
I do think
https can be valuable in attempting to mitigating some issues one may encounter, this is true.

i am a real person who has seen the wonderful dpb spread the gospel and came here to watch

I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?'
I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.'
mircea_popescu: specifically : the oldest illustration of "robotics" in the charlie chaplin deeply misguided
http://btcbase.org/log/2015-03-06#1043874 approach (and yes,
i am very unimpressed by charlie chaplin as the "intellectual great" pantsuit make him out to be, specifically because this sort of deliberate stupidity to cater to pantsuit nonsense dun count as wisdom) is an amelia bedelia-esque "person sent to broom will broom the room, r

i haven't built anyffing useful from ice40 with own hands yet. but, interestingly, when bought a 'scsi2sd' device for replacing disk in bolix box, found that author in fact used ice40 for the job
Mocky: oh hey, never thought about multiple skill dings,

i have nfi, there's some obligation to participate in the sense of weighing in on decisions for the lordship, but afaikl dude never was/wanted to be, and for the citizenry at large there's no such thing is there ?)

i believe, but maybe deep link to the something useful.

I don't see why would one keep the sha patches; onth replacement in place aka no name change doesn't break anything either
diana_coman: heh, talked in parallel there;
I know and that's why
I did not mention it at all at first; it was just because you asked for as much nitpick as possible, so now it's at least said
diana_coman: re nitpick: in my code
I tend to keep to XS'First..XS'First+X'Length but it does make it ugly & long
diana_coman: asciilifeform, yes, it was rather basic stuff but the fact is that
I read Knuth ~10 years ago so refresh was long due
diana_coman: ftr
I had to refresh a bit on Knuth Vol 2 at some point but
I don't see that as a minus at all

mircea_popescu:
i thought that was the substance of teh announcement :p
mod6: How goes tmsr~?
I ~think~ that
I have a working wp-mp now.
I've converted over my most recent blog post about diana_coman's V Genesis. If you see something broken, or similar please let me know.
mircea_popescu:
i suspect a large part of why
i like it is that
i never run into this kinda problem.
i had to futz about ansi terminal standards literally never.
mircea_popescu: but there's more to it -- running around the hillside belongs in the fucking hillside,

I remember. They started to disappear from retail something around second grade when anything that wasn't Chicom plastic got purged from the walmart toy shelves
mircea_popescu: biquarterly
i get a "but mp, you know how you could really improve trilema readership ?! MAKE IT AN APP!!!" "why ?" "because
i have unexamined headcockroaches about the influence, importance and interest of social media" "how about we put your cunt on your linkedin and see how long until someone says something ?" "FAPFAPFAPFAP"
mircea_popescu: here, have a recent sample : AL_GA_Peach 26F Exploring "The message literally cuts off after whatever it is youre.
I dont know not having all of the information is a mark against my intelligence but okay."
mircea_popescu: cuz that is the fucking job of the producer,
i don't care what "american moron's association" "trade practices" are. as long as it's a set, and something'\s shooting, the producer's job is to rape the talent.
mircea_popescu: hey, "nobody watches pulp fiction because [some anon schmuck claimed she was raped by] Weinstein",
i actuallty heard this said (by some girly who never saw any movie worth the mention in her ~~~entire~~~ coupla decades. they say this, too, like it's a thing. "my whole life". )
mircea_popescu:
i think of the various strange ideas you started off with, this "hitler is intellectually respectable, does great magicks" thing fared the worst.
