asciilifeform: again you don't need to state it in compilable ada
asciilifeform: and i ain't eating 'american cheese' either.
asciilifeform: ( and if you make it not propagate - you automagically get a thing that I WILL NOT USE because it ain't propagating to my fingertips )
BingoBoingo: Even then, rest of switch mechanism doesn't have to be ceramic. Just the keycaps. Solves problem of letter wear. Everything else can be buttjection molded whatever, as long as it is soft enough to not piss of keys.
asciilifeform: understand, i dun use 'squishies', if every key dun sound like a kalash dryfiring, it ain't a keyboard
BingoBoingo: What are you banging it into that it can't be keycap on top of fiber cement subcap? (i.e. like a floor)
asciilifeform: if you wouldn't make a hammer handle out of it -- it makes for poor kbd material.
asciilifeform: ( supposing you aren't doing it allday, everyday )
mircea_popescu: anyway, i suppose i'm the only one that doesn't actually care all that much.
mircea_popescu: there's a substantial difference between "i don't like this" and "this doesn't compare favourably to rando coworker's item". these two can never mix. this isn't sophistry, but plain sense.
mircea_popescu: either the first part, or the second part. you can't mix these.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that doesn't enter into it.
asciilifeform: let's forget model-f pistons and flappers. which aren't made today, and can only be made with injection mold. take, at the very minimum, that you decide how many keys, and where they go.
mircea_popescu: gimme a break. the letter A isn't your invention.
kanzure: lateral movement isn't so bad, sean wrona does that all the time
asciilifeform: ( don't be confused by the external resemblance to 'terminal model-m'. mechanics entirely different. no rivets, for one thing. )
trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-12#1712365 << reflects poorly on the world in which we live that there isn't a bespoke keyboard-maker. ☝︎
PeterL: now I am wondering, what else does my keyboard have that I never use because I don't even notice it?
PeterL: plus, it is waaaay over there, isn't it easier to just hit shift-8 ?
PeterL: somehow I didn't even think of that, I never use the numpad *!
mircea_popescu: besides, st. clinton promised them they won't have to.
asciilifeform: i can't seem to find a time when the thing wasn't a screaming joke, e.g. http://btcbase.org/log/2014-08-29#815106 , http://btcbase.org/log/2015-09-22#1282100 , http://btcbase.org/log/2015-12-27#1354322 ☝︎☝︎☝︎
mircea_popescu: im sure it was an accident that didn't happen and doesn't mean anything.
BingoBoingo: OMG Google doesn't care about (black) people!
mircea_popescu: recall that bit where he and laurie "don't understand" how privatization works ?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: AH, well different parts known an unknowable. Local "has a chance", this is known. He could get mega sportsball bucks, but lacks papers showing doesn't suck and may even be 3/4 white.
mircea_popescu: non-a is "threatening" aka "i don't understand what mp says!!!" ; non-b is "unreal".
mircea_popescu: and, make no mistake, there is no choice and no other consideration in this inability. it is inability, plain and simple. much like the quadriplegic isn't moving his limbs not because "he thinks it better for the environment". fucking can not.
mircea_popescu: can't simply rape and pillage, MUST have someone else do that and regurgitate the proceeds in their open craws.
mircea_popescu: you orc you. those don't cunt.
mircea_popescu: you don't understand how the narcissist autist works, do you ?
asciilifeform: ftr my internal heuristic is 'if it fits in main ram of my smallest boxes, it ain't large'
asciilifeform: a 1995 hdd ain't 'large' in my eyes
asciilifeform: can't picture they would go there
mircea_popescu: turns out it ain't, and it's gonna sting.
asciilifeform: fromloper: register a key, it doesn't take long
asciilifeform: fromloper: because chances are that you haven't read every line of the proggy that you are about to throw the privkey into
asciilifeform: fromloper: again depends WITH WHAT. if you haven't audited the thing you are importing the privkey into, you are best off moving the btc first.
asciilifeform: fromloper: it doesn't hurt to move the btc first.
mircea_popescu: and i don't just mean scientific, or imagological baiting. pantsuit.comedy ie "speak truth to power" is supposed to be all about an insufficient monkey goading the closest thing to a lion that could be found. i dunno why they're so fascinated with the pointless nonsense (aside the obvious anal children reference, ofcouars)
mircea_popescu: you shouldn't HAVE glob at all. you should have "on this directory" ; not as a LIST of files but as "this directory".
phf: (the old, not "modern") emacs approach was that you provide non-ambiguous, predictable building block operations that ~specific operator~ can build dwim tools out of. but those dwim tools shouldn't really leave your own toolbox
asciilifeform: my whole gripe was that it ain't one.
asciilifeform: there ain't a latin | either.
spyked: asciilifeform yeah, but "rm -rf *" doesn't mean "all files reachable in this path". it means "expand * to arbitrarily long sausage, then pass result as args to rm".
mircea_popescu: * should be implicit ; and it can't not be implicit in working world.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-10#1711819 << prb wasn't involved here, was operating on trb .dat's ☝︎
mircea_popescu: it ain't.

asciilifeform: wasn't looking at mempool, but at actual blockchain
asciilifeform: almost as if it isn't the EIGHTH motherfucking year of bitcoin existing
mod6: <+asciilifeform> it also doesn't dump WHOLE keypool << what is meant here? you want to see every private key dumped?
phf: hyperspec mandates it to be no less than 50, which basically means you can't rely on #'apply working on unbound lists in a portable way
phf: well, yes, unix. but my point since it wasn't obvious that it's not rm specific. it's a deep, inherent stupid
asciilifeform: it also doesn't dump WHOLE keypool ☟︎☟︎
shinohai: afaik there isn't one :/
BingoBoingo: All broadcast media in the United States carries fucking Kars4Kids ads. They don't get that kind of budget without being the Jewish children of Pantsuits club

mircea_popescu: yeah. the icecream fascism thing isn't terrible either.
mod6: have to use Interfaces.C to exec gpg and things. which, I don't love. but eventually, will need to be rebuilt to work with 'p'.
mod6: i feel like it wasn't that long ago that I had to start doing the apt-get install sshd thing on boxen
mod6: this started about a hear ago where i think they just figured "if we don't ship with ssh, then they'll just go back to using rlogin"
pete_dushenski: "i even asked my nerdy cousin but he said he'd never seen the sun either, though he claimed that a wow-head buddy had years ago back when the sun was only a little tyke, but i can't be sure how accurate that account is"
pete_dushenski: what's more entertaining is watching usg.xxx struggle internally with pretending the sun isn't really rising but wouldn't it be neato if it did and i bet you it would follow this calculated trajectory along the sky.
pete_dushenski: derps are great at convincing themselves that things that they don't like are fake, wrong, or generally shouldn't exist.
mircea_popescu: ~0 chance of "well since bitcoin can't be regulated by govertnment, no point in having government anymore"
mircea_popescu: yes, but the next step is going to be their whining about how if it can't be regulated therefore it shouldn't exist.
mircea_popescu: us ships are not for fightin'. they're, much like latina mommy-whores, for showing. if the showing dun impress you, they sure as fuck ain't lifting a foot above knee level, wtf is this, work ?!
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-07#1711383 << because you don't understand how they'd like for the world to works. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: and since it's an orcland, the government actually had the audacity to make hiring ilegals A FELONY, while the local farmers can't find farm hands.
mircea_popescu: the numbers also don';t matter. if he drives it up 1.01 instead, he STILL gets to bleed you for the 0.01
a111: Logged on 2017-06-26 20:07 asciilifeform: from earlier, lulz, 'In April 2017, an unexpected and disruptive change was made to the MIT network: the sale of historically MIT-allocated IP address ranges to external entities such as Amazon. The sale wasn't announced to the MIT community until after it had taken effect. '
mircea_popescu: so don't ask me why usg & friends is bleeding its ~worthless ass over bcc. ask instead mit why it is http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-26#1674638 ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-07#1711361 << how hasn't it happened ? have you looked at the hashing over time ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: anyway, the scale is exponential, 5 ain't a sort of 60% of 8.
mircea_popescu: how the fuck didn't i feel ANYTHING ?

mircea_popescu: go right ahead and claim "historically unprecedented nadir" every time dude farts, what is it going to do ? he's still not grabbing your cunt, and that because HE DOESN"T WANT TO.
ben_vulpes: those bussed refugees are going to receive just the most cordial welcome in the ethnically homogeneous states that didn't want them in the first place, i bet

mircea_popescu: (quick likbez : evariste galois among a whole school of northern french/swiss 19th century mathematicians wished to know why there's 5th degree polynomials which don't admit closed form expression. this seemed, and still seems, intuitively impermissible in some sense. the proof of the abel-rufini theorem might be interesting here. nevertheless, other than the practical use of bridging field and group theory, allowing some inc
mircea_popescu: but -- language doesn't work this way. the reason the bags aka words are useful AT ALL is that there's a little of each and every other bag in each and every single bag.
mircea_popescu: now, forcing a point : if complex numbers are notated as a + bi, then it is a correct approach to describe a sum as x (= a + a') + y (=b + b') i rather than x' (= q + p i + r + t i) + y' (=q' + p' i + r' + t' i). the former notation would be a normatively correctly stated theorem (elements are orthogonal) whereas the latter would, while still equivalent, nevertheless be normatively incorrect (it mixes up the lemmas!).
mircea_popescu: it wouldn't mean anything to elliot himself, or to the blonde girls that "didn't give him a chance", but it'd nevertheless be a perfectly correct description of the situation they found themselves in, unwillingly the lot.
mircea_popescu: also, we're stuck getting lucky with women, because we can't meaningfully talk to them BEFORE we actually can talk to them.
mircea_popescu: note that i'm not saying ~your notion~ of up and left can't be orthogonal. of course they can be, in fact they'd better be. but the WORDS thatr denote them, can't be, at least not while staying words.
asciilifeform: if that ain't orthogonal i have nfi what and where is
mircea_popescu: eh wtf, we don't have the koans in the logs now ?!
a111: Logged on 2016-12-21 18:32 mircea_popescu: because no, words don't "have meanings". your meanings for ANY WORD are a function of ALL THE OTHER WORDS YOU KNOW. which is why my definitions regularily blow out english dictionaries, wikipedia and other sources of "wisdom" out of the water - i know more words, and in this knowledge i know all the words i know ~better~. infinitely and irreproducibly so.
mircea_popescu: a fine example in that very same paragraph : "I don't expect I've done" is very much different from the "plain english" "equivalent" "I don't think I've done" : as there is no relation between expectation and reality, saying "i don't expect i've done" is a perfectly fine sendoff on a masterpiece. not same in the case of the latter
mircea_popescu: very direct measure of the power of a language -- weak languages only have van der waals links and thereby can't support complexity such as life
asciilifeform: PeterL: 1 nitpick so far : you can't presume the bitness of 'Natural'
mircea_popescu: but anyway, i think i said it before. and if i didn't, here it is again : curtis yarvin may be stupid, or else he may be evil, but in either case he's done more to ruin his country than quisling did to ruin his.
