asciilifeform: all of this being said, i suspect mircea_popescu would still barf if to e.g. fetch a trilema pg, 5km of tape had to move a full circle.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: re 'do you really need arbitrary access so often' : recall knuth's 'centerfold' page in vol.2 of aop
bvt: mircea_popescu: i'll try to get him into #trilema on the weekend
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the 'random' in 'random access' is imho an unfortunate misnomer.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: per the current instruction set, you could not write e.g. 'unzip' in it
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there's other constraints, e.g. peh is quite certainly not optimized for random-access on large data set , there is no support for even such thing as array
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the 'bootstrap' concept in that thread was specifically re 'what coupla kB can you start with in rom that would actually let you build the entire os', rather than the traditional 'boot' process , not to be confused with
a111: Logged on 2019-03-26 19:58 mircea_popescu: bvt, http://archive.is/febOU#selection-255.67-255.135 challenge specifically offers you excellent entry point : there's a bunch of contact details available, what's "me" resolve to as a provision endpoint.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, Cubans.
asciilifeform: bvt: seems like mircea_popescu's original eyeball verdict was 100% on target? i.e. 'mes' is a pile o'shit masquerading as they usually do for a solution
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they moar or less ~are~ 'in congress directly'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: fwiw in sovokistan churchill is moar famous as architect of intervention in '18
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i pictured '1947 'red' not as kennan et al tho, but as e.g. patton, churchill, et al - the folx who were ready to rearm germany an' proceed straight into ww3, and had to be stfu'd by the brass strictly on acct of truman having insufficient nuke pile (iirc atm ~7 or so)
asciilifeform: i'll buy. ( mircea_popescu will also find it entertaining that kennan was ~the~ 'sovologist' taught in asciilifeform's ameri-school )
a111: Logged on 2019-03-26 09:18 mircea_popescu: "The present generation of Russians have never known spontaneity of collective action. If, consequently, anything were ever to occur to disrupt the unity and efficacy of the Party as a political instrument, Soviet Russia might be changed overnight from one of the strongest to one of the weakest and most pitiable of national societies."
a111: Logged on 2019-03-26 08:58 mircea_popescu: n direction, stopping only when it meets with some unanswerable force. The individuals who are the components of this machine are unamenable to argument or reason, which comes to them from outside sources. Their whole training has taught them to mistrust and discount the glib persuasiveness of the outside world.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-28 23:10 mircea_popescu: kanzure " Obviously there is no possiblity of meaning outside of a structure of authority, and the authority can not be predicated on the meaning."

This means that truth is not a constant but is actually created, for all intents and purposes, by the Soviet leaders themselves. It may v

hanbot: meanwhile billymg phf mircea_popescu et al my patch from last night needed a reground, sorry for the pain in the ass. http://thewhet.net/2019/03/mp-wp-patch-for-enabling-html-comments/
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the 'preoccupation with crimes' also comes in diff. variants. consider e.g. lafonde, vs the typical ameri-suburbanite who has never so much as personally seen a homo-lafondicus with naked eye but nevertheless fixated , etc
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: who are in this context 'reds' and 'blues' ? ( presumably not the 2 usg armies mircea_popescu earlier argued have long ago merged into 1 ? )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i suspect that to guarantee pleasant-to-read diff, one has to specifically write proggy in certain style, and that the problem aint otherwise solvable in the general case
a111: Logged on 2017-09-30 00:40 mircea_popescu: in a sense, the "fascists" are more progressive than the "progressive"
hanbot: mircea_popescu, so wait, are you saying that the "black people & crime" thing is purely an internal debate of socialism, pitting the pantsuit against the more progressive TS faction in the attempt to establish "which parts of ideal socialism relate to me more"? ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2019-03-25 14:38 mircea_popescu: i'd like this narrowed if not entirely solved.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-03-25#1904673 << asciilifeform several times tried his hand at 'what if nonclassical diff', these are in the logs. but mircea_popescu barfed, and i dun even disagree, thus far nobody's thought of a moar human-readable diffism than the traditional one ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2019-03-25 12:31 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, o yeah. imagine that! sovok cyanoacrylate, aka aracet (polyvinyl acetate, elmer;s glue).
billymg: mircea_popescu: sure thing, i'll update to have it patched on top of hanbot's latest
billymg: hanbot, mircea_popescu, anyone else interested: i just finished deploying the latest mp-wp patch to my site and published the files here http://billymg.com/mp-wp-vtree/
a111: Logged on 2019-03-24 23:23 mircea_popescu: and no, oif course he doesn't "own rights". that's both why you're supposed to make y0our own blog, rather than rely on some usg.scammer platform (be it called "facebook" or "mit", it makes exactly no difference, all the products of socialism are the same product).
chonkin: mircea_popescu Well the cultural marxism (Whatever that is) sneaked into MIT when that one physics professor was instantly fired for sending something to a female student over email
a111: Logged on 2019-03-20 17:57 mircea_popescu: "conviction" of public person / functionary / official in orclands 100% "usg.blue interference" by now.
chonkin: mircea_popescu I mean *phew* Stalin really needed those dark magical powers to take down a thriving free market of russia, ya know with all its strong private land ownership, and thriving middle class :]
a111: Logged on 2017-07-06 15:09 mircea_popescu: which is how every god damned kid that was sexually abused through the process of socialist schooling (which is all of them -- education is education, and socialist school is definitionally sexual abuse of all children involved) ends up with the idea that newton sat down TO discover whatever he did (unimportant, really) and THEREFORE he did.
nicoleci: mircea_popescu, lol, i doubt the dorks have the nerve. probably just magic dry hump.
BingoBoingo: <chonkin> mircea_popescu Are you nudge-winking me that "every single sentence Marx put to paper was metphysically incorrect, so don't dare compare me to him in his wrong-ity"??? << You have to look at what the man was saying. Marx is a rather late fellow, 19th century. The world worked long before Marx. Marx cribbed a guy http://bingology.net/2016/01/24/the-theoretical-foundation-of-social-engineering-practice/ and tried to use the

chonkin: mircea_popescu Then why the invective and acrimony>
chonkin: mircea_popescu YOU will have to deal with teh fact that Marx's ideas very much overlap yours. This is not *my* problem. It is yours. You deal with the obvious overlap in whatever emotional way you ened ot in order to sleep and night and get by.
chonkin: mircea_popescu The idea was that democracy and republicanism replaced the monarchies and rigid class of the fuedal period.
chonkin: mircea_popescu This sounds almost like verbatim pages out of Karl Marx.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> chonkin, this seems to me sheer animism. for the same money there's shared ethos in all furniture, "because of the wood". if you must, as a literary exercise, why not. << Powder post beetles are a thing
chonkin: mircea_popescu Okay then they are government thugs who protect property then.
chonkin: mircea_popescu Could you admit to some shared cultural ethos that elevates the Policeman Superhero to a person who reaches beyond themselves ina "call of duty" to "put their lives on the line" for the protection fo such-and-such
chonkin: mircea_popescu The outcry from the public over the sherrif's hiding in their cars while a school was shot up indicates that there is, at the least, a wound to people's collective conscience.
chonkin: mircea_popescu No I think it is more accurate to say that you are attempting to distance yourself from any kind of marxism at all for ______ (insert some unspoken reason)
chonkin: Now take that conclusion and put it in a bowl and mix with a beater until a fine foam is formed ---> [14:38] <+mircea_popescu> amusingly enough, that's not even false. i'm sure they're arrested more, the fucking function of police is to keep the underclass in check. wtf else are cops for than to arrest the poor ? and well, in the us blacks are usually it.
chonkin: mircea_popescu Let me be more literaly since facetiousness is not being communicated properly
chonkin: so vis-a-vis : [14:38] <+mircea_popescu> amusingly enough, that's not even false. i'm sure they're arrested more, the fucking function of police is to keep the underclass in check. wtf else are cops for than to arrest the poor ? and well, in the us blacks are usually it.

chonkin: mircea_popescu The award winning molecular biologist that discovered the structure of DNA (Francis Crick?) made some statements in public about African populations that got him called a "senile old racist coot"
chonkin: mircea_popescu Well -- I didn't even draw any conclusions. And because I did not virtue signal and chatter and state the colonizing oppression theory, I was called "shithead" and put on permanent ignore.
chonkin: mircea_popescu The Maori and the Aborigine were never part of any slave trade economy
chonkin: mircea_popescu You can justifiably place such statistics alongside the incarceration rates, crime rates, and prison conditions seen in nations that are extraordinarily homogenous
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I did not, now Imma have to find dalnet and hope that is where the Gauchos are hiding

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> the ppls don't see how electronics relates to them! << The rule the Peruana has to follow is the less important something seems, the more important it actually is.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, where I grew up local radioshack was a franchise op. Part Radioshack, part crafts stuff franchisee sold in his other store the next county over.
asciilifeform: ( iirc mircea_popescu found 1 down south at some pt, but there is no resupply for'em, the co long ago folded , asciilifeform went and bought ~entire contents of 1 for a hundy or so )
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> right ? and WHAT THE FUCK do they put IN THE PLACE, physical as well as financial, thus saved ? same thing women put in the place where "floor washing on hands and knees" and "bake cake" used to go, ie subhuman africanisms ? oh, but tyvm, this progress is so very fecal./ << What they put in the place are a bunch of storefront kiosks each selling a particular wireless carrier's products.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ratshack afaik 100% dead in north amer
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i mean, used to be every town of 100k or more white people had a store with some of ALL of those in stock << And then Retards killed radioshack

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i expect ~99.99... of ye olde golden age opterons have been melted down by nao, just like bolix etc
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu was hardline skeptic of subj from start iirc
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: will add that 'peanut' can grow to 'pea-elephant' if -- and this time verily cometh -- there is not a replacement on hand.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you end up throwing it, feel free to send for xray ( if thing is >35cm on the long edge, may have to saw it ) , then can say 'solder ball this-here unballed' etc. valuable old irons aging data point, potentially.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's pretty odd that yer spare was dead tho. caps shelf-age but not ~that~ quickly
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you still haven't thrown that mobo and wanna put it back in service, feel free to gpgram which caps you need, and where to poste'em, i'ma send you some from own crate, then possibly you can get the bmw fixer d00d to solder it for a bottle o'rum or etc

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: upstack to garbage warz -- not all garbage is created equal. e.g. asciilifeform found errything from pristine knuth aop , to far-infrared thermoelectrically cooled camera , zeiss lenses , etc. all in garbage. the key is to go to the correct garbage.
