mircea_popescu: proper army bootcamp ? doesn'
t work for non-whites. alright, make the modern us army then, it'll be shittier but whatever.

t the thing to follow some pretty simple decision algorithm: here's a gps list of viable landing spots, here's a gps list of interesting targets. given your positional knowns decide and execute a flight path that'll take the aircraft through highest number of interesting targets before landing in any one of the viable landing spots. surprisingly large number of moving parts in a situation like that
mircea_popescu: the killer's breed, or the demon's seed. the glamor, the fortune, the pain. back to war again, blood is freedom's stain. don'
t you pray for my soul anymoar!
mircea_popescu: i wouldn'
t expect anyone gives much of a shit about merkel and may's "europe"
mircea_popescu: whaack artificially high prices are a fine way to wreck a symbol. consider how torpedoes work (they don'
t push at the ship, but create a vacuum. it then gets filled). consider also the parable of the walmart giant and the neighbourhood chair.
shinohai thought about this piece when Coinbase recently asked for more VC $$$but couldn'
t turn it up .....
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> asciilifeform aaaand if you wish to be REALLY rattled in that vein, compare and contrast with mp giving random "bitcoin banker" wanna-bes coupla HUNDRED btc just so they can'
t keep the pretense up any further. << aha. scammers abound.
mircea_popescu: fortunately for me, the advanced kako-nubbins logics of 2016 hadn'
t yet arrived on the scene back in 2012. somehow.

shinohai: "You're in for a treat if you haven'
t read yet any 'works' by MP of MPOE/MPEX fame and his #bitcoin-assets associates. " <<< Well THIS guy is just up-to-date isn'
t he!
mircea_popescu: the other bizare part with houses is this thing whereby the door opens into the street. wouldn'
t it be logical to have the door open into the "back" garden ?
andreicon: but i take pride in being an above-average thinker so i'm sure i'm in the right place. just don'
t know why until i read the 22mn lines of logs
a111: Logged on 2017-07-13 19:00 mircea_popescu: there's a dazzling depth to these pointless shits, which is why the whole "oh i wonder why ancient people didn'

mircea_popescu: the point isn'
t the mistake, but the fact that girl collapsed as a writhing, mucuous mess under the whip, because ~couldn'
t~.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform consider the following point : girl confronted with
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-02#1678254 and my plain and clear isntructions broke down in tears, because, in her own estimation, couldn'
t understand what she's supposed to do. because had no idea whatsoever how toilet works, imagined it has something to do with electricity, so of course it can'
t flush if there's no power.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: the guy who learned in earnest how to "empathy" has not merely lost his time in the pursuit of subliterate idiocy ; but actually invested that time into implanting harmful gargauni into his skull, much like someone who spends $100 to buy some radium which he then swallows isn'
t out merely the $100 he paid for the radium
mircea_popescu: and so in this sense, the problem of the reddit hacker isn'
t something he does. it's something he did.
mircea_popescu: phf consider this : in many insects, as well as reptiles and other inferior (and therefore simpler) lifeforms, the male/female decision, or else the reproductor/drone decision (such as in bees) is not made genetically, like it is in mammals, but through some manner or other the egg comes with a lever settable in the field so to speak. now -- the male lizzard come out of egg that was cold in its youth ain'

diana_coman: mircea_popescu, re core: disease/old age can eat out a person's core in more than geometrical sense; do you mean that any person who didn'
t die core-intact basically had no proper core to speak of?
a111: Logged on 2017-07-13 15:07 diana_coman: well, I can'
t see how slow accumulation of concession to shit leads to anything other than "chemically bonds to it" at some point
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-13#1682471 << it all goes back to the following fundamental : is there a substance to things beyond the context, or isn'
t there ? (traditionally stated by ustardia as "nature-nurture conflict", which is nonsense). in any case -- can you take the tica out of the barn and the barn out of the tica ? or just one ? does the whore become ~substantially~ unwife through living in the brothel long enough
☝︎ phf: microsoft did a "pivot" under the indian guy and "embraced" "open source". they have an aws competitor, and a user space lunix and i don'
t know what else.
andreicon: i don'
t believe burp does that iirc
phf: drill in pi is a legitimate device though. "don'
t want to think anymore"
mircea_popescu: "but it doesn'
t work" "well yea but i got this power drill, will fix brain."
mircea_popescu: so you're telling me windows isn'
t just a skin on a functioning machine, but an actually dysfunctional from the ground up one ?
andreicon: we can'
t allow the music to stop now, can we?
andreicon: my tiny rpi won'
t run kodi and apache at the same time
mircea_popescu: usg hasn'
t tried anything since ww2. and even that was half-ass
mircea_popescu: there's a dazzling depth to these pointless shits, which is why the whole "oh i wonder why ancient people didn'

☟︎ phf: also they use it to hack trees for kindling, etc. i tried using the knives for that purpose during camping, couldn'
t do much damage either. i suspect, yes, there's a tricky technique to it.
mircea_popescu: phf it's all because of mommentum. counter-military blow, the blade decelerates just as it hits somehiw. i can'
t do it either.
mircea_popescu: altogether very well made knife, and wouldn'
t shame the milanese.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-02 02:06 mircea_popescu: and speaking of the "новые высоты прогресса и цивилизации", it can'
t quite escape one's notice that EVERY SINGLE FEMALE of reproductive age without exception lives in this thing where the bed is always within physical reach.
phf: that fpga receiver is also technically an illegal device. i don'
t know if that's in the same article, but consumer gps is supposed to cut off signal when traveling above certain speeds or certain altitudes (i don'
t remember the specifics though)
mircea_popescu: "Mixing with the same code in the correct phase de-spreads the wanted signal and further spreads everything else." << if this isn'
t technology i dunno what is.
phf: i won'

☟︎ phf: well, if you can write me an avionics code that will do all the things (figure out the position of aircraft in space, both on micro i.e. in relation to earth's surface and macro i.e. gps levels, knows how to adjust that position both in normal operational and critical situations, etc. etc.) then i won'
t have to study existing ones either
a111: Logged on 2017-07-13 16:14 phf: but ffa also doesn'
t have that many moving parts. it's a single stack mathematical code that mostly operates on same, uniform memory regions. so my original issue was that there's no enough quality code, certainly plenty of shit code, which is not quite the case in common lisp world

☟︎ phf: i don'

☟︎ mircea_popescu: who aren'
t nearly as well selected or invested into their own mental life.
phf: just because socialists stole the terminology, doesn'
t mean that words somehow lost their meaning
phf: nah, potato programming doesn'
t contain any sort of insight. the quality is a bit higher, once you're done wrestling with the compiler, but it takes experience, intelligence and taste to come out on the other end.
phf: well, problem is that there doesn'
t seem to be much in terms of tasteful ada code available to public. with common lisp you can go to mid-90s and before and you start getting some very reasonable works, worthy imitation.
diana_coman: well, I can'
t see how slow accumulation of concession to shit leads to anything other than "chemically bonds to it" at some point
☟︎ phf: i haven'
t stayed up to date, i'm instead studying this avionics software source code (it's a bit iffy, written by universities, but has a wider variety of stuff)
diana_coman: as otherwise one can'
t even know it's *you* talking next time
diana_coman: andreicon, what do you do for a living if you don'
t mind me asking?
shinohai: (Rome wasn'
t built in day, etc.)
andreicon: never heard of it, but it doesn'
t sound like a curse. not in my book
andreicon: i don'
t think i've updated mine in a while
shinohai: Otherwise, most ppl present here won'
t be interested.
a111: Logged on 2017-07-13 05:21 mod6: this is actually using karatsuba, haven'

mircea_popescu: "alternatively, don'

t have a problem."
mod6: this is actually using karatsuba, haven'

☟︎ mircea_popescu: (and no, the driver didn'
t get any. i drink responsibly.)
mircea_popescu: they weren'
t there on the way back, either. because a truck had crashed into a mini
mod6: ah, well at least you didn'
t get taxed extra.
mircea_popescu: guy goes through dirver girl's papers, then asks for car papers. i'm liek, you don'
t need car papers in cr dood, sez my lawyer
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> motorized dumpster! << so recently i was told a story about how this guy in ohio borrowed this car that was a dumpster on wheels -- i'll spare you all the details, but the long of the short of it is; this guy's life was saved when he was
t-boned by a dumptruck on the freeway because of all the garbage in the car.
BingoBoingo: <mod6> don'
t get me started about the people and their fucking lotto tickets. << BUT ELLIOT!!!
mod6: don'
t get me started about the people and their fucking lotto tickets.
mod6: but not a week goes by that some fuckstick isn'
t standing in line to get $1 worth of gas. aka, fart into his tank.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nato doesn'
t have a spec. for anything. look you it up.
a111: Logged on 2017-07-12 21:02 BingoBoingo: Well, religion doesn'
t start with invisible friend. Starts with axioms. Parabels acrete. Then editor makes narrative cohesive enough to sell.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, the Obama-can rules don'
t appear to apply to metal "safety" containers
mod6: can'
t argue with that.
mod6: they have this frickin lock/unlock "spill proof" neck on them. that i have to simply discard cause i can'
t figure out how to use it.
mod6: everything is child-proof. don'
t get me started about the soviet gas can.
