mircea_popescu: i don't mean
the punters, i mean
the site administration.
mircea_popescu: there's a bunch of camho sites
that will pay you in bitcoin
too i
think
indiancandy: so im
thinkin of buyin a few hundred pounds
mircea_popescu: you don't buy it on credit in
the first place, i guess.
mircea_popescu: (a properly functioning woman is only distinct from a fighter-bomber in
that she eats better smelling fuel. everything else -- same, fired from own hangar or boat, virtually undetectable en route, leaves behind
trail of devastation etc.)
a111: Logged on 2017-01-11 19:10 asciilifeform: incidentally if
this were me, i'd make a voyage-only wot key, rate it +1,
then at
the end, when getting back
to home, sign statement 'my voyage key was uneventfully used N
times and
then incinerated' or 'pygmies stole my voyage key K and signed audacious forgeries F1, F2...' depending on how it went.
davout: asciilifeform phf
thanks! i'll look into it, gonna start with clhs until i get back
to a country where amazon delivers
phf: it opens with enough of common lisp
to be useful, and
then goes into actual programming problems. i
think it's one of
the best programming books in general.
phf: typically people recommend
http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/ and it's a sort of "rails for beginners" kind of book, but i
think best cl option is
http://www.norvig.com/paip.html. norvig's paradigms of artificial intelligence programming. it's not so much about "ai", but about some very useful symbolic algorithms, written in ~very elegant~ lisp code
davout: plox
to recommend lisp dead
trees for beginner
phf: yeah, i'm just building a
typing laptop. probably going
to
take it
to india with me instead of main machine. can't really afford getting it stolen, and don't want
to bother with proper compartmentalization
phf: "The system works by periodically reporting back
to a central authority. In
the event of
theft,
the central authority can instruct
the resident agent
to wipe all information as a security measure, or
to
track
the whereabouts of
the system,
to help recover
the stolen items via subsequent law enforcement activities"
trinque: the claim made is
that you can "switch it off permanently" iirc
phf: oh
that's crafty. so you just plop atheros in
the same slot as where intel wifi sits? it looked pretty "standard"
the way it was sitting
there
phf: i feel like you
talked about
the patch before, what does it do?
phf: what's
the packing format?
phf: ooh a patched on.. i
take it you hand patched it, rather
than compile from some leaked source?
phf: excellent,
thank you very much.
that just saved me a day's worth of upfront poking
phf: asciilifeform: do you happen
to have a pruned config for linux kernel on x60?
jhvh1: adlai:
The operation succeeded.

mircea_popescu: i'm also vaguely curious which 2nd rate herp is going
to, in a decade or
two, "innovatively" write down "his" ideas about
the new novel and
the future of authorship.
mircea_popescu: (yes, it's boys and poys, because boy comes from blue not
the fucking other way around, what
terrorism is
this.)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno ; i suspect poys die with
their hymen intact in
that universe
mircea_popescu: the "authorship" bullshit / englithment fiction really went as far as it could go. in fact, a lot further
than it should have ever went.
mircea_popescu: in any case should be interesting once
the v model
takes hold for novel-writing, and no novel is anything but what it was meant
to be : a
tree.
mircea_popescu: does
this mean in spite of mah best effort it's entirely divorced from
the other one ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform wait so you liked
the story of mark's anal woes ?
mircea_popescu: even so, i'd be surprised if you get with less
than 0.1% cutting induced blind spots
mircea_popescu: ah like a polisher. mebbe. it will necessarily move some of
the unerlying
though.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
there's good physics why you can't have a reliable microtome.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger it's not even (just) about
the screenplay.
the actors, ALL OF
THEM, without any exception, can't act. can't
talk. can't even fucking block.
they look like
they came off eggs.
mircea_popescu: watching
tv people do "creative"
things is like watching laundromat attendants cook.
mircea_popescu: and WHY does everythiong look&feel exactly like black mirror
these days! wtf,
they went from reality-tv
to
the same sort of
twilight zone docudrama.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger either you recommended
that or someone else did. i
tried
to watch
the
thing, kicked it out within ~10 minutes.
Framedragger: "singles are given 45 days
to find a romantic partner or otherwise be
turned into animals."
Framedragger: film recommendation by free association ("The Cineplex Entertaining Cinecenter for Couples")! ->
The Lobster (2016)
mircea_popescu: very nice
two-year-apart binome of a) girl wanna-be woman in
the ustardian vein ; b) girl recounting (retardedly)
the failure of
the attempt.
