mircea_popescu: you can obviously either have independence or the fake growth of govt sponsored ponzi participation.
mircea_popescu: well, the romanians have ipods like any other marginal civilised place : well in excessd of need.
mircea_popescu: and you propose to defend this behaviour or what am i missing ?
mircea_popescu: no, they aren't. theyt're exactly the grade of orc ukrainians are. except here they have good steak and there they have good whore.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: there's strictly no reaction between the bovine quality and the feline quality.
mircea_popescu: for instance, the argentinians : they are definitely orcs. they queue perfectly well.
mircea_popescu: the notion that a queue is an acceptable situation is more enmitous to humanity than any other mental device.
mircea_popescu: the girl, being too young, thinks this is a bad thing, because romanians are thus so observably different from the "more civilised" assorted cattles of europe.
mircea_popescu: i'll tell you what it did. allow me to bring the illustration, one second.
mircea_popescu: but whatever, this point needn't be decided theoretically now, seeing how it'll be decided practically in just a few years anyway.
mircea_popescu: the govt sponsored ponzis are not economies to begin with.
mircea_popescu: "Taler is thus a currency for the mainstream economy, and not the black market." lmao ok. here's a news tidbit : so called "black market" IS the mainstream economy.
mircea_popescu: im not bothering with rms anymoar. prolly like the libc improvements, he doesn't understand what it is and whatever, more words to put on website
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that is kinda why i was mocking the "lisp as its own thing" thing days back
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: the usg-approved, built-in-tax-collector-and-stoolie altcoin is finally rolled out. << lmao "taler", who the fuck came up with that one. but anyway, no. they are weak and know they're weak. throwing shit at wall to see if maybe sticks but in no case admitting ownership. so... no.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but at least that thing compiles to a fixed form.
mircea_popescu: &=sub(if microsecond time is prime, output [this program but with microsecond+1 tested] ; else if microsecond time si not prime, output [this program])
mircea_popescu: what if i make the program branch, and then load itself as $_ ?
mircea_popescu: no, the local boys don't need zee german. they are perfecty of age, and perfectly capable to split the goods themselves, which includes the women, which includes his wife.
mircea_popescu: phf you mean a number not a pointer, and using it to be a function is abuse ?
mircea_popescu: gavrea, whom i've recently mentioned, had a very similar saying to distinguish between the "mathematical understanding" as described by funkenstein and the genuine article, by using the difference between the romanian words muzician (musician) and muzicant (roughly speaking, illiterate gypsy that can play by ear)
☟︎ mircea_popescu: for asciilifeform won't deign to call that thing a compiler
mircea_popescu: but nevertheless $_ can take the value of being a function
mircea_popescu: you can actually use this to obtain code that compiles to different results can't you ?
mircea_popescu: is support mandated throughout the whole namespace ? can i assume randomfunction knows of $_ ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's another way to say im inefficient :)
mircea_popescu: what the everloving fuck the undeclared function of if.
mircea_popescu: it's not "this is moot to mp, with army of slaves". it's "he who refuses to buy into, can't help but end up with army of slaves".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if i actualy had to do that i'd hire a mexican to drag a desktop and use special cabling before i'd use a fucking proprietary laptop.
mircea_popescu: what, you needed to render the film of fucking stoya in your hotel room ?
mircea_popescu: so was the reported death exaggerated or the name misspelled or what gives.
mircea_popescu: i have a dead sand nigger on file, but his name was spelled differently.
mircea_popescu: ontogenesis repeats all the accidents of phylogenesis in a distorted, cursed form.
mircea_popescu: which is to say, fucking divination and assorted theatrical bullshit.
mircea_popescu: so they ended up with an exact equivalent of "idiosyncratic medium, creative artistry"
mircea_popescu: for the reason discussed! no access to verifiable, predictable small parts
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the point re peripueral fever is important. see, the people DIDNT KNOW pottery is no good for reuse. so couldn't get to chemistry. guess why ?
mircea_popescu: this is starting to feel like fucking highschool all over again. shit, i missed that.
mircea_popescu: problem is the people giving the latter peripueral fever didn't really realise
mircea_popescu: corpses are almost pregnant women for almost any purposes
mircea_popescu: dude, nobody had to wait for glass to do chemistry either
mircea_popescu: a half-baked implementation of V is what i had been maintaining in my head throughout my schooling years.
mircea_popescu: but V is the best simulation of how actual math learning happens (in those brains actually capable to learn math) that we ever had as a fucking species.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: now if only i was in prison and i had the fucking undisturbed time to actually do this.
mircea_popescu: which... you know, i slept on this, and it occurs to me that ACTUAL MATHEMATICS might be the perfect thing to implement over V.
