mircea_popescu: she's still a woman even at a
time prior
to having foaled.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i expect rms did no such
thing ; but
that he correctly believed
that if structured as ~radical~ socialism, socialism may be made
to appear palatable
to intelligent people ; at any rate more so
than
the commodified variant.
mircea_popescu: the notion
that
there can be an apolitical something is like
the notion
that
there can be a
transparent non menstruating woman etc.
phf: hmm, i always
thought his question was a lot more naively childish "why'd did all my friends i had fun with left
to do
these weird `grownup`
things"
mircea_popescu: mno. his question was "why do
these 12 people not see
the glory of socialism and dedicate
their lives
to making every receptionist live in luxury she can't pay for"
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> (strangely, even
though
ti was a megacorp already at
the
time,
their offering was
the least memorable) << No mystery.
They were likely operating from an internal assumption of leadership and
thus snore.
phf: actually
that's
the same (i assume rhetorical) question rms was asking
mircea_popescu: NOW --
the question is why did
this fucktarded dozen decide
the best
thing
to do is make 3-6-howevermany "Competing" entitite.s
☟︎ phf: asciilifeform: clim fwiw predates micro exodus. was, like common lisp, an attempt by
the
three vendors
to make a unified gui foundation. you can still see scarring in genera where
they started
transitioning
to clim apps from
their flavors
mircea_popescu: you seen
the premises ? not physically possible
to host 100 people working
there, let alone 500 wtf.
mircea_popescu: dozen people eighteen months.
thatssit. where's
the 500 undergrads ~actually~ working for decades ?
mircea_popescu: slaves, idem. if you couint every nigger at mit, derping about "we're one, man" and "i should have money anyway"
then yes you get
the figures, but if you count
THAT as slavery god help youi.
mircea_popescu: and
the problem of "slaves" and "work" is very interestingly repeating. so : if you count all
the receptionists in
the "work" you're getting an obviously diluted figure. if
this is were how work worked, i could build spaceship by hiring 1mn chickens/hair stylists in argentina. evidently, argentina isn't building any spaceships.
mircea_popescu: this argument will not prevail, because again, mit never paid
that many hours.
mircea_popescu: ie, a dozen people "worked" in
the us sense for 18 months.
mircea_popescu: mit never had a
thousand man-years of work, in its entire history
to date, counting all
the departments.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the question of "why
the fuck would anyone even bother with a mit '''license''' we'll leave for some other
time".
mircea_popescu: seems a lot of retarded one-man-ism
that gave
the world 5k "airplane inventors" and just as many canvas-made planes
that didn't work worth a shit.
mircea_popescu: yes,
though i'm not particularily interested in stallman's moth-eaten brain.
a111: Logged on 2017-04-09 21:17 mircea_popescu: why exactly did everyone in
the golden lisp era feel such a burning need
to compete with each other anyway ?
shinohai: Would be lulzy if it was
the same guy who fucked with all
their
traffic lights last year.
shinohai: Gotta learn
that variety speak!
mircea_popescu: shinohai is "tight-lipped" how you say "box of hammers"
this millennium ?
mircea_popescu: "celebrating "Palm Sunday", a feast marking
their holy
tradesman's
triumphant return
to Jerusalem days before
the holy
tradesman was martyred by combined Italian and Jewish police violence." << epic.
shinohai: I assume, since
they contacted FCC,
the system operates on some sort of radio frequency. Officials are "tight-lipped" lol
mircea_popescu: what exactly is
the "oh, must be local" rationale besides "we are retarded and so
therefore
things follow"
mircea_popescu: "The attacker was able
to
turn
the sirens back on 15
times in a 90 minute period" lmao
mircea_popescu: i mean rms, i understand, stray dog mit
took in, he'd bark at st peter if st peter came by. but
the rest of 'em ?
mircea_popescu: why exactly did everyone in
the golden lisp era feel such a burning need
to compete with each other anyway ?
☟︎ jhvh1: shinohai:
The operation succeeded.
phf: mcclim always reminds me of how rms was planning on competing with symbolics by reimplementing everything
they had on
top of gnu platform.
that was
the goal. only a handful people who actually worked with a genera realize how "special"
the result of rms's work was.
☟︎☟︎ a111: Logged on 2017-03-29 16:04 phf: i met fare at one of international lisp conference's and i
thought he was kind of off, but
the kind of work he did on asdf3 precisely corresponds
to his personal and writing styles. sort of like a dirty kid
that you have
to constantly remind
to like fucking go wash yourself dude, omg
phf: no, obviously not,
that's mcclim
a111: Logged on 2017-04-08 21:20 phf: well,
that's
the
thing,
the original backend from clim2 goes all
the way back
to genera, and it's literally all solid 1-pixel lines, and bulk of
the display is
text.
a111: Logged on 2017-04-09 02:53 asciilifeform: it ain't new, it is copy of 'athena' (
the
thing found on old suns,
that made
their ui eye-clawing fugly and painful
to navigate )
mircea_popescu: trinque incidentally
the best solution probably is
to do a sweep
tx now and again (once a year or such ?)
to aggregate all
the inputs into one single output
jhvh1: pete_dushenski: Bitfinex BTCUSD
ticker | Best bid: 1222.8, Best ask: 1224.4, Bid-ask spread: 1.60000, Last
trade: 1223.6, 24 hour volume: 15946.33337183, 24 hour low: 1177.2, 24 hour high: 1226.9, 24 hour vwap: None
mircea_popescu: this might even fix it, but it's not certain, given
the festival of adhoc magic numbers
trb is also known as.
trinque: that
this is reported as "insufficient funds"... mkaaay
trinque: I reduced
the deed amount
to make room for moar fee
trinque: ah yes
totally relevant
then
mircea_popescu: yes
trinque ; but if a
transaction is under arbitrary amount, it is arbitrarily "Dust" and can not be spent.
trinque: should have
the
thing working again later
today, and will back up current wallet for inspection
trinque: txns are always deed amount + fee + refund rest back
to same addy
trinque: looks like
trb was not pleased with python's json.dumps()
taking upon itself
to use scientific notation after I changed fee and deed amounts.
trinque: current bundle of deeds is blocked on
that while I investigate
trinque: ^ PSA: I'm looking at some kind of
trb wallet bug which is reporting suffient balance, but insufficient when
trying
to send a
tx
BingoBoingo: Yeah, founded by Bill W's wife
to cope with "He stopped drinking, why am I still not
the center of his universe"
BingoBoingo: AHA, "Al-Anon" is people not usually alcoholic
themselves
trying
to live with drunks
Framedragger: (as
the corpus of
text expands, it becomes something like a fractal derrida and is heavier
to manage in mind, at least in my mind)
Framedragger: i'm just
teasing; i will consider setting up a
topics-index page; something which is less formal
than
tickets; and a way
to easily add new items by citing log line ranges. (old idea i know)
mircea_popescu: no, i'm aware what
the problems are. just, absent a written form, im stuck going
through
the matter question&answer style.
mircea_popescu: but didn't discuss it, and
therefore i've not what
to link.

the WhirlyGig it's
temperature-based modulation of ring oscillators.
a111: Logged on 2017-04-09 14:42 BenBE: Depending on
the circles you worked in, you knew GnuPG is broken on several levels.
a111: Logged on 2015-10-09 01:20 asciilifeform:
the chore
that everybody here has been putting off into indefinite future -
that of ~actually distributing one's entire modulus~ - is a necessary
thing.
a111: Logged on 2017-04-09 14:45 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally,
the more i
think about it
the more i'm convinced
the ONLY "fingerprint" for rsa key may be...
the modulus. 4096 bits and fuck you, if you can't
take 32 chars you don't belong here.
mircea_popescu: yeah. put
that evaluation in
the stack
though, i wanna hear what comes of it.
BenBE: But
that's nothing left for
today.
BenBE: In
the way you rate
this part solved. I'm not quite convinced here yet. Will need
to evaluate
the information.
