trinque: dat clinton sneer. I hope
there are many butthurt shots
today.
mircea_popescu: actually he may find
that
the district of niggers makes a point of pride out of
their ignorance & lazyness, and equate
these with democracy and
their dismantling with you know, racism, rape, etcetera.
mircea_popescu: in
the lol of
the day, "Trump, who's accustomed
to completing projects "on
time and under budget," will
try
to bring an unfamiliar business discipline
to
the nation's capital. He may find
that Washington is not as nimble or responsive
to orders from
the chief executive as his family-run business" (npr)
mircea_popescu: or nobody is supposed
to have face recognition software outside
teh alphabet ?
davout: trinque: not on my box, on
the servers i rent
trinque: davout:
that SSD would probably arrive by rowboat faster
than you'll sync on platters
mod6: i'm making some good progress on my V changes
this week. hopefully won't be
too long be for I can help you out with any wallet related
things you might be doing on
trb.
davout: kinda
tempted
to get a proper SSD
to give it a decent home
davout: pretty good! my
trb node is synced around october 2015
mircea_popescu: (the official line btw is
that "the polls weren't off by much, because clinton got 2% of popular vote vs 4-5% predicted". supposedly incredible ineptitude on an unseen-before scale is
to be pivoted into "we're still right, smart and
the icons of humanity ;
the electoral system is rigged" and
this'll somehow fly because
the democrat voting bloc doesn't form memories for longer
than half a week and nobody else properly speaking
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the "i've been an activist all my life" womenz of unchristian first names movement (WUFNM) flailings are getting pretty unreadable.
mircea_popescu: i bet soros
thinks it's a good day if he manages
to shit on his own power,
today.
mircea_popescu: because somehow
the astroturf "democratic" groundswell failed
to materialize. but it's all ok.
mircea_popescu: and on
the other side of idiot isle,
theguardian (NOT A FAKE NEWS! NOT A FOREIGN INFLUENCE AGENT!) is doing about 50% of
the official coverage ; quotes soros (NOT A US-CONVICTED FUGITIVE!) and harps about how in 2015
trump might have hired actors
to clap.
mircea_popescu: and in other lulz, 208.178.195.210 (global-crossing-argentina-s-a.xe-0-1-0.ar3.eze1.gblx.net) is currently losing about half my
traffic
a111: Logged on 2017-01-20 00:37 phf: which brings me
to my question, what's a good book on inorganic chemistry (or general chemistry)
mod6: but I'm so glad I wrote
these.
mod6: these automated
tests could use some serious cleanup and refactoring --
they work fine, just not very pretty, etc.
mircea_popescu: phf
the problem with
the bolt-ons being
that why are you bolting on, use
the language of
the boltons instead.
mod6: yeah, i saw some of
that. neat stuff.
mircea_popescu: mod6
there';s a bot you can fuck around with if you wanna
try it out.
mod6: would
that alone be worth experimenting with, just
to see how expensive it really would be?
phf: if you
take any of
the canonical bignum-in-lisp implementations and port
them
to
tinyscheme, multiplication of one 5 digit number by another 5 digit number
takes ~seconds~. optimization is left as an exercise. i suspect some of
the routines can be implemented as opcodes.. you could also
take
that numeric
thing asciilifeform extracted out of gnupg and bolt it
to
tinyscheme as a PoC
mod6: i did see
that. and yah,
that sucks. for lack of a better way
to put it.
mod6: would it be a worthy project for someone
to start
to write some essential libs for
tinyscheme?
phf: scheme48 comes closets
to sane lisp imo, it was written on a lisp machine, and comes with a lot of very sane batteries (the library is clearly inspired by cl)
mod6: (i ask all of
the questions because im simply curious, and it seems
to be such a broad range of different dialects, if
that's even a way
to put it)
mod6: what is
the general feeling of 'common lisp' within
the republic?
phf: then you have a version of LISP for project mac called MACLISP, also capitalized. but it shares so much with LISP
that you can call it LISP
too
phf: well, i
think, if you're
trying
to communicate clearly, LISP means
thing
that mccarthy wrote, and
then spinoffs of
that, LISP 1.5, 1.6
mod6: what's
the meaning
there, is LISP
the "proper" lisp for an actual lisp machine?
mod6: capitalized in
the sense
that most lispers live in
the park in san fransisco?
phf: this is not really
the case with scheme,
T, clojure, etc.
phf: there's a lineage of lisp, which is significantly mutually compatible. LISP, maclisp, interlisp, zetalisp. common lisp is a standardization attempt on
top of
those. for example if you
take eliza code (written for LISP 1.5) you can make it run on common lisp without any
transformations (need
to provide some missing forms
though)
mod6: <+phf> no in scheme land you have mit scheme and scheme48 << with
these, which one is more preferred? or why choose one over
the other?
mod6: is
there any big hang-ups about chicken scheme?
phf: asciilifeform: i wonder how much of scar was removed in sbcl. i know while newman was still hacking, he removed a lot of gunk. i vaguely suspect
that cmucl can't be improved without
tackling
the bootstrapping problem, which is probably going
to look very similar
to sbcl's solution
mod6: oh, yeah. almost forgot... having
the feather stems in
the pillows is
the worst. i refuse
to use
them for
that reason. nothing worse
than
those
things poking you in
the face.
mircea_popescu: phf enjoy it while it lasts bub, i had
the same
thing in my 20s/early 30s
phf: girl couldn't figure out how i can eat so much (now) and not gain any weight was a mystery. few weeks ago a lightbulb "ooooh, it all goes
to
thinking!"
mod6: omg. i bet
the bolognese is awesome.
mircea_popescu household goes
through >100k calories / week and all
the girls are dieting.
mircea_popescu: yesterday was a 2 gallon pot of bolognese with smoked mozarella.
today was 7 sushi rolls.
this isn't counting
the pastries, cookies, cocktails etc.
phf: also
the sbcl os patch, applies cleanly against sbcl_0_9_14, but is missing
the forth bootstrap
that nyef's
talking about
phf: sometime in
the early 2000s my family basically lived on what we called wolf diet. small bits and pieces, like nuts and fruit for
two
three days, but
then once in
three or four days we'd cook a giant steak or roastbeef or such.
there was no reason for it, just sort of gravitated
towards..
mod6: i'd get medieval on someone if
they did
that
to my salami
mod6: we
talked about how some
this happened once upon a
time in a socialist hell hole.
mod6: i was at
the deli
the other day, buying up all
the meats... and just remembering, and getting even pissed about
the
thought of some asswads substituting soy in for fat.
mircea_popescu: wait you mean
to
tell me
the keto dorks "reinvented" a fad diet from
the 60s ?
mod6: all meat, no carbs
type
thing.
mod6: i just had
this impression
that alf was on atkins or something
