ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: aight, i'll see about
this eval-ing of
text from mp-supplied urls
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Well gotta keep
the record of excellence in
the log so we can point gabriel
to a minimum viable residence
☟︎ mircea_popescu: no it's really good, he mounted blades on it, can now mow
the sidewalk
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: stop
trying
to hawk your electric
toothbrush wouldja
ben_vulpes: mid-nineties suburbans are more my style.
the 3/4
ton body...
mircea_popescu: "i want
to buy a c classe from a real used up hooker with real cum stains on
the interior"
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: i want one
that's 10 years old with plenty of dinged up body panels
ben_vulpes: yeah, i've heard you object
to
that before.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes so basically emacs
telnets into
the server or wut ?
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: what i really want is a
transmission
that directs all power
to
the spinning wheel. it's spinning,
that's how you know it's
the one
that needs
the power!
pete_dushenski: 'saddam' my 27yo merc WITH LOCKING DIFF will be
taking over dd duty, despite having a much shitter heater, until
the roads are cleaned up.
pete_dushenski: it's goddam inexcusable. i
think 'progress' is
the going claim for open diff v rear locking diff
ben_vulpes: "fuel economy" is
the argument, right?
pete_dushenski: the beeping only comes on when
tc is REALLY going hard, but flashing dash light flickers with
the mildest invocation
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: beeping and flashing orange dash light every
time
traction control activates, which in rwd car with 275 rear section
tires on freshly snowed roads is... constant.
pete_dushenski: whoever
the fuck
thought
that an open rear diff could be compensated for by electronic nagging should spend
the rest of
their lives in noyabrsk
pete_dushenski: speaking of which, fucking
terribad roads
today. made me yearn for g-wagen.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: glad you liked
the piece! always happy
to elucidate
the strange in
the four-wheeled world. but what's
the 'c*'
thing ?
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: nothing speshul about
the chart. just centre-aligned, single-spaced(shift-enter), and used
the 'special character' directional arrows. bout it.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, as part of a vast "argentina night life" programme,
these nuts banned alcohol on
the beaches, and are going around making kids open up
their bags and shit.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-09 19:52 adlai: sure,
that's one of
the methods.
this was in response
to dude complaining
that alphabets know who is, eg, studying up
towards mass-production of HNIW;
the precise response was roughly "be more schizo"
a111: Logged on 2016-12-29 18:38 mircea_popescu: much like if a boy's mating strategy consists of seeking out
the places where no other boys go and waiting for girls
to straggle in.
adlai: it's just one example. some knowledge is
too specialized
to appear in general aggregations; and it's also way
too easy
to estimate who is germinating which ideologies if you have access
to eg which news
they read. anyway, i'm supposed
to be prepping for my lab
tomorrow...
this is
the fun one, where we dick around measuring boring stuff but end up with ice cream
ben_vulpes: buy a set of old brittannicas and use
tried and
true blam
tech perhaps?
adlai: sure,
that's one of
the methods.

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-09#1599879 << despite hating
this word (as a medical
term, it's about as precise as "caught a cold"), i did use it
today for
the first
time in a while: "technological schizophrenia" is
the
theory and practice of compartmentalizing/dissociating net use across multiple devices and connections
to defeat
the whole "google knows she's preggo before she does"
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2017-01-08 08:02 ben_vulpes: i don't know what sort of apology is due here as clearly nobody has ever even
tried
to apply
those patches
through a strict v, but i'm still going
to go slam my head in a door until i get some of
the stupid out
phf:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-08#1599317 << actually btcbase is broken in
that respect. i keep filename from
the first appearance, and
then
track hunk relationship
through hashes only. which will break if
there's hash collision
☝︎ ben_vulpes: demo of
the integrated lisp development environment if you will
ben_vulpes: fwiw i have a spiffy little minimal interactive lisp bot you can diddle
the behavior of in
toto from emacs
mircea_popescu: anyway, im going
to
town nao, so we'll continue later
today.
mircea_popescu: vps from my machine, my machine from vps, both of
these from random internet soup. not
to a standard higher
than "post wwwform"
ben_vulpes: and from external attackers? or
to secure your box from whatever strange is on
the vps?
ben_vulpes: which "the connection"? from your machine
to
the bot machine?
mircea_popescu is in no
terrible hurry
to produce menny lines of code.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the way i liked
the original "send urls" was because
then other people can see wtf.
mircea_popescu: i dunno dood,
threat model.
this is happening over
the internet no ?
mircea_popescu: can spend your whole life sifting
through puddles and sidewalks looking for
that georgia
that's worth dyin' for. but on its merits, it's not.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform man chooses his stand, how should i know what he decided
to die for.
Framedragger: in retrospect, it was possibly
the most horrible illustration eva.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-09 09:40 Framedragger: yes,
there is
that model of a woman as someone who is expected
to, and is bound
to adapt in my mind,
too. if she runs away from a dangerous bank robbery scene, it's
to be expected.
ties into
the 'protecting children' function,
too. unless she *explicitly* is a heroine.
mircea_popescu: ah
then
that's why. so check out
true romance (the
tarantino cut plox) when you wanna watch something,
totally worth it.
davout: please be more explicit, i fail
to grok
mircea_popescu: it's not altogether clear computizing has
to be a sewer. but yes, for as long as one's stuck dealing with a large pile of broken solutions churned out by people who didn't understand
the problem nor were aware of
the fact...
diana_coman: this is why I said it has nothing
to do with outside expectations and what not really
mircea_popescu: "human happiness can not be a goal of policy, because
the direct solution is also
the correct one."
diana_coman: I'm very happy
to not be "happy" in
that way, lol
diana_coman: I suspect "unhappy lives" was/is quite loose as a
term
mircea_popescu: diana_coman similarily,
the life of
the sane programmer is pretty unhappy. by comparison, java-machining-dotnet-etcetera dorks are very fucking happy, going from conference
to conference
to
tell each other how fucking delicious
the catered rubber chicken is, and how
the 3 bedroom 1 bathroom atrocity is
totally worth 1.3mn
mircea_popescu: anyway, i don't mean "unhappy" in
the 1850s manchester bereft-of-any-joy sense.
mircea_popescu: yeah, but if he also speaks
to you
the usual contrition of
the sinful is overpowering.
diana_coman: it's not other guy, it's
the master;
to my mind
the master was exactly
the chosen god basically
mircea_popescu: follows from
the personalization of
the relationship
to
the divine. it's one
thing
to not manage
to imitate
the flight of
the dragonfly, as michelangelo
tried (and yes science is a reinterpretation of
the relationship
to
the divine, doh, what else). it's another
to not manage
to do what
the other guy
tells you
to.
mircea_popescu: not exactly.
there is some vanity in
there, now and again, but
the substance is just a sort of perfectionism.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, it sounds
to me
that
their unhappiness comes from
their own expectation
that
they are so very best, not from
their master's expectations really; if it were from
those,
then *all* slavegirls would be just as unhappy
mircea_popescu: this
then follows in general,
the average chump being a sort of windowsy emulation of a slavegirl, and without a master. so ends up reading feedback from /dev/urandom and interpreting it
through a similar 50-50 => 1-99 grille.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-09 10:18 diana_coman: well, I don't really
think someone can live a very unhappy life due
to *others'* expectations; at most due
to his/her own
a111: Logged on 2017-01-09 10:12 Framedragger: in certain places, it may be unnecessarily hard for say a man
to be 'feminine'. i
think
that's what i meant, not more
than
that
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: maybe not interesting cause story always ends with some disgruntled employee running off on
the plug with
the keys
mircea_popescu: "and will you disarm at
the end of
the fight ?" AHAHAHA NO!
a111: Logged on 2017-01-09 10:09 diana_coman: Framedragger,
there is sex and
there is gender; in other words, an individual woman can be more of a man
than a specific, given man and
the other way around;
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-09#1599727 << i'm with her. a woman may be assumed
to be cowardly, and a black man may be assumed
to be a
thief, and an asian guy may be assumed
to have a small dick, and if
that works for you all
the better. but it dun work in general, i don't
think, nor in my experience. all children are born cowardly, all modern society
tends
to encourage it,
the few who get out of infantilism aren't very gen
☝︎ thestringpuller: asciilifeform: Coinkite factory holds
the keys, so you own
that factory you own Coinkite as a whole.
