mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah, it's just... i'm fucking scandalised. junior high "taking over the world" what the fuck is wrong with all these idiots. what, "let's all manalone while the children reconstruct the world in their image", what the fuck already.
mircea_popescu: it is ~they~ who fail to understand human emotions ; and predfctably attempt to replace the actual complexity of human emotions with a 1-2-3 cliffnote constructed out of their own stunted half-brain. why actual humans would permit this sham is beyond fucking comprehension, and an outrage outright.
mircea_popescu: understanding emotions eminently does not map, or much relate, to the validation of stupid old cunt's "feelings".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform boys that "magically"/"inexplicably"/etc "do not seem to be able to find" #trilema generally (and "who could have predicted!!!"-predictably) come out with some kind of "since the world is entirely composed of the stupid cunts crowding over at the stupid cunt hut, it then follows i must wear pantyhose and lipstic now"
mircea_popescu: say "i will x" rather than "for the past n weeks i had been x" whenever at all feasible. for one thing, it'll get you more people, cuz ima redirect those trying to same x. for another thing, it'll give you something to look at, of your own. "here's what i said i was gonna do." yay or nay, it's absolutely better to have than to not have.
mircea_popescu: i don't mean "it is against group interest". i mean it from a very personal perspective, not using this is like not using fridges, or CAT scanners. YOU miss out. your own life is shittier than it need had been, on your deathbed you'll look at less of a life than it might've been. there's just no point to run the race eyes closed, none whatever.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-17#1850719 << she has a point you know ; i don't just mean ave1 though it's a fine example here. you folks have an excellent semaphore system, which works well and has been historically proven to work well (not to mention have all the interest in "feelings" of a guillotine). it is very stupid NOT to use it, to eschew use it, to miss out on using it.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: diana_coman i am not reading on. i'm done with torvalds.
mircea_popescu: schmuck. let's studiously overlook the man hut, so we can pretend "overwhelmed by cunt hut" latger on.
mircea_popescu: !!rate torvalds -10 "The above is basically a long-winded way to get to the somewhat painful personal admission that hey, I need to change some of my behavior"
mircea_popescu opens "Subject: Linux 4.19-rc4 released, an apology, and a maintainership note", runs into "the code of conduct addition" , loses interest.
mircea_popescu: ave1 once he publishes later today you can just read/patch/collaborate.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform all for posting $subj, this way minigame can just use it rather than make yet-another-new-one
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in other lulz, the middle english word for "raise awareness" would be... animadverting.
mircea_popescu: how are you going to handle the weird data models implied by teh nutty syscalls in an ada proggy ?
mircea_popescu: are you going to write an ada program to treat c-defined syscalls as black boxes and spit out ada acceptable output ; opr are you going to write a c program to treat c-defined syscalls as compatriots and spit out ada acceptable output ?
mircea_popescu: half the fucxking manual on recv deals with a) spurious extra prototypes and b) data size definition soup.
mircea_popescu: "According to POSIX.1-2001, the msg_controllen field of the msghdr structure should be typed as socklen_t, but glibc currently types it as size_t. " and other joys of the c world.
mircea_popescu: more specifically : what exactly is the limit of the "c-ness" of the system calls ? can we pretend they're ada system calls until they are ?
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in alt coins, "Super Male Vitality is the result of ancient wisdom reinterpreted over several years in the light of modern equipment and analysis."
mircea_popescu: ah if only it were 1998 again, how bien trouve shit like "hip-adjacent" would catch wings and fly! what a "dank meme" it'd have been, back before they had a word for it.
mircea_popescu: internet "of today" runs into internet of 1990s : maddox saying "the obvious" that "nobody wants to hear", inexplicably enough nobody gives a shit.
mircea_popescu: . You're not hip, and you're hoping desperately that nobody notices."
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in random lulz, "Using slang you didn't come up with isn't a substitute for having a personality. And that's the Internet in a nutshell today: a bunch of vapid morons trying to be cool by parroting phrases back and forth to each other. It's meme language, and just like people use memes as a substitute for their inability to tell a joke or make a cogent statement, people use this type of language to seem hip-adjacent
mircea_popescu: (tl;dr : youtube wizard attempts to start hasbro consumer boycott because it rustled his hotpockets or something ; item fizzles.)
mircea_popescu: ds and at Holloman. With the capabilities of modern electronics and batteries, it's possible that such a system wouldn't even need to be hard wired. "
mircea_popescu: lol, "It seems more plausible that a foreign operative or an operative working on a foreign government's behalf might have been able to install an antenna/sensor apparatus onto the top of a structure that is part of the facility and within line-of-sight of the valley below without anyone noticing. This could allow them to persistently gather electronic intelligence on whatever might be happening on, around, and over White San
mircea_popescu: or the next ... this is the sort of thing that benefits from quiet contemplation.
mircea_popescu: though in fairness esthlos impl is more didactic than optimized.
mircea_popescu: "Though I wouldn't try the thing on files larger than a megabyte at the moment." <<->> "As you can imagine, large files may give you ample time to draw a bath" or something.
mircea_popescu: and don't put dire mysterious warnings like that in your work, it turns off people for no real reason.
mircea_popescu: irony of ironies : there exists such a place as "grand Island", nebraska.
mircea_popescu: in any case, looks like he's getting 40kb/s more or less.
mircea_popescu: esthlos "Though I wouldn't try the thing on files larger than a megabyte at the moment." whynot ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: apparently the heavens above don't think so very much of this miami-led cvasi-"independence" they got.
mircea_popescu: in other local lulz, costa rica's independence day celebration postponed for cause of heavy rain.
mircea_popescu: iirc we even had a discussion re standardizing a byte order ; though from the fact that i don't recall the results i take it i got shown broken cats.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: anywya, great reads this morning! the republic prevails!
mircea_popescu: anyway, reading through this, i suspect ada threading may turn out to be a pleasure.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: diana_coman entirely possible you're the first one to ever put udp through gnat.sockets.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: actually, the us has a direct implementation of the idea -- can take a free 2 week vacation in florida on premises of people who aim to sell you real estate.
mircea_popescu: the point here'd be not the death, but the rekindling of a loss.
mircea_popescu: "no fountains and no english lawns -- at least i cough just like my heroine..."
