trinque: BingoBoingo: open code's still the only way to do it, only those involved mustn't be so poor as to worry about giving away words
mircea_popescu: and as per theresa may, running out of them won't make them stop, either!
mircea_popescu: for as long as they can keep burning granpa's furniture to power the pretense machine, i suppose they can keep pretending like that matters.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't find it objectionable. it IS however disqualifying, for their claims as to the self. in other words, i don't respect them above chattels, and there's a fine reason why i'm right to not respect them above chattels : right here.
asciilifeform: how many entries counts as 'quorum' ?
a111: Logged on 2017-05-23 03:18 asciilifeform: the 'formulate as predictor' came from asciilifeform's ongoing regular stabs at breaking shitoshi's rng.
asciilifeform: ( i was half-convinced that mircea_popescu did this exercise as a response to the dieharder thread )
mircea_popescu: whole thing started as a dispute re the practical meaning of learning.
mircea_popescu: that's the fucking point. as bama well observed, "my old man used to gamble when he plantted his field and prtayed dfor rain. i figure if a man's gonna gamble, might as well do it without plowing."
mircea_popescu: moreover i imagine ima actually work it like this : anyone can add as many agents as they wish for 1 bitcent per ; total pot minus what the simulation costs is divided to top scoring agents.
mircea_popescu: you end up with fn initialized as say -2 x + 14 and then on the first pas it becomes say -2 * 35 / 16 x + 14 * 35 / 16
mircea_popescu: they start as ints.
mircea_popescu: the state is kept as bytes, except for a and b parameters of linear functions, which are reals, and which change through division by ints.
mircea_popescu: (the transition is via fractionals, as you can see)
mircea_popescu: it'd seem to me the model as described does in fact generate reals properly from rng.
mircea_popescu: "fuck you, reality sucks for machines", as it were.
asciilifeform: ( esp. given as you then also xor it with uint8's etc -- the result is ill-defined )
asciilifeform: serving coffee, in modern-day usa, is seen as 'rock bottom', possibly like picking cotton once was -- there is a seemingly infinite bureaucrat population, and drinks seemingly infinite litrage of coffee
mircea_popescu: dork wasn't perceiving itself as part of a cheapo corporate culture ; on THE CONTRARY!!!11
mircea_popescu: as that dude selling out in 1929 pointed out -- there are people you really do not wish to commune with. by the time shoeblacks are buying stocks, stocks are for shoeblacks.
asciilifeform: and - as always - after these come the 'free market!111 i'm sure to find a place, and Profit!111'
mircea_popescu: i'd say that's fair, 70s us vs 2010s us might as well be different planets.
asciilifeform: asciilifeform had the privilege of meeting various folx who moved in '70s-80s -- sounded as if entirely different planet
asciilifeform: and when emigrating, follow same logic as ants when 'emigrating' to my kitchen : 'hey, PILES OF SUGAR!!!' rather than 'i'd like to be Tested!'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it isn't obvious, at least to asciilifeform , that having worked as a legit surgeon for 30yrs, say, in orcland, is a serious advantage to starting illustrious butt-silicone-injections-in-back-of-truck career in oakland
asciilifeform: local elite has things mostly divvied up, as anywhere.
mircea_popescu: twas supposed to impress the sheiks, 99% of all it was good for. as you can see the problem remains even today, in exactly same terms.
mircea_popescu: it was ~same as short fat dude in 2nd hs year will pay strippers to come hang out with him in the cafeteria.
asciilifeform: usg offered 'untermenschen' all kinds of lures, while they had (what was perceived as) secrets to trade -- honourary colonelships, professorships, etc.
phf: to be fair i heard that one as "i didn't get out, because knew for a fact that $old-relative will get in trouble"
mircea_popescu: the fact that elites failed to defect is a very sad testament on the structurally broken in the head nature of postmodern elites. something we know as jwz-ism today, but has preexisted jwz.
phf: americans have been trained on the whole iron curtain vs the free world narrative. so now any place that's politically disagreeable is seen as potentially behind iron curtain
asciilifeform: seems to play same ecological role as winblowz -- to make linux look appealing in comparison.
mircea_popescu: "Strict and firm action will be taken against anyone who shows sympathy or any form of bias towards Qatar, or against anyone who objects to the position of the United Arab Emirates, whether it be through the means of social media, or any type of written, visual or verbal form," Gulf News quoted UAE Attorney-General Hamad Saif al-Shamsi as saying. << bwahahaha check out the us lap dogs.
ben_vulpes: 'tis one thing to press bae back in her seat with a downshift, another altogether to rattle the whole crew around as the vehicle rattles around its hysteresis envelope as the geartrain and suspension return to steady-state
pete_dushenski: ... than manual. and better than normal auto because, yes, as mp said, hills
shinohai: whaack: seeing as how there is little Qntra market these days I offer (wot based) Spanish tutoring as well.
trinque: whaack: as it happens mircea_popescu lives there now.
whaack: I'm leaving the US and going to Costa Rica in about a month. In the off chance anyone wants to make some btc by renting out a place there send a msg to my key. Any advice is appreciated as well ☟︎
asciilifeform: ver num. is worth about as far as you can throw it.
danielpbarron: no, but they are the "same version" as reported by themselves
danielpbarron: strange thing is i can take the drive (that is, that which shows up as /dev/sda) out and put it in an identical machine and it will boot with the lba32 thing
danielpbarron: i also got something to work that i had been stuck on for a while: lilo stalling on the bios data check. seems as though the solution is to use 'linear' rather than 'lba32' in etc/lilo.conf
diana_coman: trinque, perhaps; I don't quite buy this cutting off a tit but I can't say I spent a lot of time on it as such
mircea_popescu: whole "position of power" bs is so much statal crap. but on the positive side, it's definitely wringing itself out of existence, as finely exemplified by teh "tangerine in chief" etc. what exact power is it ?
jhvh1: danielpbarron: [KJV] 1 Corinthians 14:34 :: Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.
a111: Logged on 2016-10-09 21:45 danielpbarron: >> The Lord did not design men to have women rule over them. He designed men to rule over women. "The head of woman is man" (1 Corinthians 11:3), and "Adam was formed first, then Eve" (1 Timothy 2:13). This is why women are to be submissive (1 Corinthians 14:34). God has placed men as the authority (head) over women, and therefore they need to submit to this authority. Moreover, this authority was established from the very beginnin
a111: Logged on 2016-10-09 21:44 jhvh1: danielpbarron: [KJV] Isaiah 3:12 :: As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
mircea_popescu: i expect the indirection layer between "reality as is" and "reality as perceptible", rudimentary as it is, should be entirely suffcicient to go from hurr durr as displayed by academics to actual science.
mircea_popescu: though something tells me you'll say exactly the same re this as re the other model : http://trilema.com/2017/the-failure-mode-of-abundance/#comment-122198 ie "there's no time to consider ACTUAL meaningful models, all we have time for is nonsense. where's that happy meal ?!?!"
deedbot: http://qntra.net/2017/06/rwandan-bank-profits-up-as-us-retail-sinks/ << Qntra - Rwandan Bank Profits Up As US Retail Sinks
asciilifeform: dun get quite so hot an' bothered, it's still made of traditional xilinx (which needs the massive toolchain) and still contains sdram ( for which no controller other than xilinx's , works ) but this board is actually useful -- in comparison with my existing aging 'ml501' ( as pictured in http://www.loper-os.org/?p=702 , http://www.loper-os.org/?p=797 )
mircea_popescu: and you were "they're dumb as rocks". which is true, they are, there's no dumber beast than the asian. nevertheless -- to break it inadvertently they don't need deliberate, directed effort. they just need to be numerous and take themselves seriously. which they are.
asciilifeform: this might sound like a snore, but isn't : thing is wires as 'port', rather than as bus
asciilifeform: in other lulz, https://archive.is/pbE6V >> 'The user can choose a device number that corresponds to a terminal currently in use by another user. This allows an attacker to run any command allowed by sudo with read and write access to an arbitrary terminal device. ... As before, the bug is specific to Linux systems that have SELinux enabled ...'
mod6: yeah, i get some strictness errors with gnatmake, probably can fix as discussed above.
mircea_popescu: maybe dumb cunt hangs self in prison, optimal outcome as far as the pantsuit are concerned.
asciilifeform: 'Existing implementations of mmap() return the value -1 when unsuccessful. Since the casting of this value to type void * cannot be guaranteed by the ISO C standard to be distinct from a successful value, this volume of POSIX.1-2008 defines the symbol MAP_FAILED, which a conforming implementation does not return as the result of a successful call.'
asciilifeform: but linus did love to brag, 'nobody promised you a stable abi', as if this were a point of pride.
asciilifeform: but it ain't a -1 to us, because we are using a sane language and it is treated ONLY as the addr of the beginning of the allocated mmap. but first gotta check for the failure. so this requires a comparison to FFFFF....[buswidthsize]
asciilifeform: ( because unix was dropped as a child, it uses in-band idiocy and magic failure values that are not type-distinguishable from successes )
diana_coman: asciilifeform, furthermore: adding -gnat12 got rid of the default discriminant barfs (as promised by ada docs) but I still have the complaints on prefix of "image" attribute
mircea_popescu: besides, iran as a russian proxy seems to be ready to ship
BingoBoingo: Anyways, seeing what happens to Qatar as the weeks roll on should be lulzy
BingoBoingo: What part of methuselah means useful? And what keeps tumorous liquishit from being useful? HeLa has to be cheap enough now to be used as ballast.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: as you can probably guess if you think about it for 5min -- this isn't the hard part
asciilifeform: same folx as went to mgu in '80s?
asciilifeform: 'A few examples of posts that the Harvard Crimson cites are posts referring to hanging a Mexican child as “piñata time,” and posts mocking sexual assault or the Holocaust. These are all things that are part of common discourse on some terrible parts of the internet. Yet they are not part of common discourse at Harvard, or the administration doesn’t want them to be.'
asciilifeform: 'At least 10 students who had been accepted as members of Harvard’s Class of 2021 have already learned an important lesson about real-life consequences for online behavior. They had their offers of admission rescinded after the college learned that they had been posting wildly inappropriate memes on a private Facebook group. Here, “wildly inappropriate” means any combination of racist, bigoted, sexually explicit, or violent.'
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-06#1666474 << the original recipe came from asciilifeform's x60 lappy : same one as featured in http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-11#1601534 and http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-11#1601544 thread ☝︎☝︎☝︎
asciilifeform: ... but it isn't as if i ever audited 4.x. ...or 3.x, or 1.x..!
asciilifeform: trinque: as soon as credible alternative -- poof, linux is bad memory
trinque: not as if I wouldn't like there to be recourse here.
trinque: I think phf is right in pointing to old debian cd sets as dep time capsules.
asciilifeform: before you say 'nowai' -- i was equally surprised that the poettering ban worked as well as it did
mircea_popescu: as i was saying, been there, done that, got no tshirt.
phf: yeah, cursory interneting reveals as much
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-06#1666252 << as was mentioned in logs before, portage doesn't contain sources. it downloads sources from elsewhere ☝︎
asciilifeform: as if year were 1997
mircea_popescu: after eating however many woman-weeks as the stupid shit is wont to do.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-03 02:47 asciilifeform: in such a way as to judas goat the authors of said code to rewrite it such that it DEMANDS the new 'improved' compiler.
phf: of course as soon as i asked, i figured out the right keywords
BingoBoingo: No instead as soon as you invoke "suspension" in a string google/Bing/CuckCuckGo all return fatso pandering
asciilifeform: the last reich luvvved concrete just as much.
mircea_popescu: of course, it only works in naive circumstances, as this shit always does. once mp/someome starts deliberately fucking with your words the whole shit goes nowhere. but obvioujsly "nobody could have predicted" etc.
mircea_popescu: but yes, this will be the enduring legacy of the ustardian "culture", such as it is : a really large attempt to calculate the sum-value of strings of words. because "the alternative is hard" and besides "this kinda works".
asciilifeform: it is interesting how phrase 'life savings' already has an archaic 'patina coat' -- same flavour as 'workhouse', 'savings & loan', 'joint stock' ☟︎
mircea_popescu: how the fuck would someone actually believe this nonsense, self-contradictory on its face as it finds itself, is beyond the scope of comprehension.
mircea_popescu: the funny part being they actually believe their inane shit. "oh, if i type $string then it'll be parsed by all-comers as such! oh and i don't have to parse any strings myself!"
mircea_popescu: well as long as you're entertained.
BingoBoingo: AHA, and WAPO fuckers suggest that as a virtue
trinque: I read that first as "castrato"
scriba: ssh banner of 190.7.26.40 as seen on 2016-06-13: SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.3p2 Debian-9
mircea_popescu: in other lulz : ubisoft (famous as a place where great franchises go do tie) actually CHECKS YOUR PW FOR "BAD" WORDS.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-04 17:40 mircea_popescu: bunch of old women are supposed to manage to misrepresent their trite idiocies as hip and "universal consensus", though the unlikely venue of marking reddit user groups as spam and deleting shit people said on twitter.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-05#1666045 << the way the lizards expect the shit to work is exactly in the way mp -saves-openbsd worked : as seen moneyz. recall the story of the us embassy spending a whooping 50k to start an "empire" of fake news tv stations etc ? ☝︎☟︎☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-05#1666042 << i don't think the bullshit is ever going to cease, for as long as there's a single socialist-criminal standing up somewhere they're go9ing to engage in criminal socialism. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: Lo-l http://qntra.net/2017/05/fiat-wraps-up-miserable-may-as-malaise-reaches-new-lows/#comment-100543
mircea_popescu: and, as a fine example of what being a dumbass cuckold actuaslly is like in practice, i bet you none of the people who were published as speakers will lifetime shitlist anyone who was involved in organising the shitshow.
asciilifeform: ^ over here you have to go as far from 'throne' as, e.g., uni. of md, to see these.
