pete_dushenski: turns out it's quite the mish-mash out there. far from the taught controversy of reddit : "uasf" vs "core" vs "blockstream" . pretty much none of the software versions you read about anywhere outside #
t are actually the ones in use.
☟︎ trinque: reminds me, I haven'
t tried your getpeerinfo patch yet
trinque: I don'
t see any reason to do that.
pete_dushenski: if alf isn'
t the exception, trinque is more than welcome to remove contravex from deedbot blogroll. i won'
t be offended even if i do look forward to the comments here, be they negative or positive.
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo has it, not sure why asciilifeform still reads my blog ? must be short of things to gripe about in life. he was never a fan afaik, this isn'
t news, and yet he keeps sticking his hand in fire, wondering why the smell of burning flesh lingers in the air.
trinque: it's a wonderment things don'
t get better for them when they're behaving as hard as they can.
BingoBoingo: And it's his. Where else is he to be aggrandized if he doesn'
t do so on his blog?

In selecting the Knuth Prize winner, the Committee will pay particular attention to a sustained record of high-impact, seminal contributions to the foundations of computer science.

☟︎ trinque: "I don'
t care" is the correct answer.
trinque: the republic's forum is not "I will posture on whichever topics don'
t make me uncomfortable"
trinque: you couldn'
t have come to a worse place to tell us what it "means to you"
erlehmann: trinque i don'
t actually want to have a conversation about invasion, because i don'
t particularly care. i came here because of the v versionatron and because i liked the attitude behind that.
erlehmann: Framedragger it is the one where vampires can'
t do VR because they have autism and see the pixels.
ben_vulpes: trinque: oh hey while on the topic, best way to wind up modern genderbenders, blacklivesmatter et al feebs is to "i mean sure, but isn'
t that all just embedded in the class struggle?"
trinque: "I don'
t want to have a conversation re: invasion, so lets instead belabor whether we're all behaving ourselves."
Framedragger: oh there's a .de translation apparently, but can'
t attest to quality
BingoBoingo: <Framedragger> plenty of folks quite content living their frugal lives (in e.g. leipzig, from what i hear, to be particular), i guess #
t doesn'
t think much of them, i happen to have friends, what do. if bitch at 5% rent increase, sure, not much sympathy from me << Better to be frugal and not poor
Framedragger: erlehmann: "blatant racism" is an empty label here, and won'
t carry the same "prescriptive power" as elsewhere. that said, maybe you meant "heuristic generalisations are dangerous" (my (overcharitable) interpretation)
Framedragger: rehashing *conclusions* of tmsr dogma does not do much good. (i guess counter to that is "we don'
t have time for proper free education", which is fair).
☟︎ trinque: you think the same stupid arguments aren'
t raised every time someone improves a neighborhood anywhere else?
lobbes: ben_vulpes: if the "community" can'
t soak people who want to come there and spend money adequately to make tourism +ev for the hosts incl. cities, how can they even justify continuing to live << I grew up on The Cod in Massachusetts; "working class" locals were always bitching about how much they hated tourists, but that tourism $$$ is the ~only~ thing sustaining that particular sandbar. Fishing is dead, and retail and landscaping indus
☟︎ ben_vulpes: eh i don'
t see how "stop bitching about problems you can trivially solve without involving the state eg rent control, try moving to a neighborhood as shitty as this one was two decades ago when you crept in" is quite "slice lengthwise"

Framedragger: gotta agree with you, #
t will disdainfully sneer at "omg, kom000nity!!", but it does suck that local communities get negatively impacted in this regard

☟︎ erlehmann: but i also don'
t have airnbn next door
erlehmann: joke's on you, i don'
t do such stuff
jurov: O.o my first two airbnb experiences were fine, but that was in greece, they don'
t mind noise
☟︎ mod6: <+asciilifeform> if answer to either 1, 2, or both, is 'yes' -- asciilifeform won'
t use. << wait... i thought you were big on a workstation that you could use... but this doesn'
t include a mouse?
ben_vulpes: claims to, but i don'
t desire that at this moment
a111: Logged on 2017-06-20 16:30 phf: building wot for all comers will suffer the same fate as pgp. since nobody's using it, it turns into an arms race of easy to use, or "innovation" also known as masturbation over technical minutiae. i sort of realized this when i tried applying tmsr solutions to my cypherpunk friends: "no we don'
t need to research the difference between signal and telegram, just encrypt it to my gpg key and post it on dpaste or whatever." eliminated all the technical di
shinohai: I'm so accustomed to it now I can'
t imagine going back to my old ways.
shinohai: lol mod6 caught it same time I did, was busy writing up the lulz and didn'
t see your msg.
mod6: you mean, storing the halfwords isn'
t going anywhere?
mod6: yeah, don'
t let it get you down. all in good time.
trinque: scam; I don'
t think you can stuff a tofurkey
a111: Logged on 2017-06-18 23:30 asciilifeform: and realized, while doing this, that in fact you don'
t need 2k+2 bits for the karatsuba intermediates, you can do instead of (x0+x1)*(y0+y1) , (x0-x1)*(y0-y1), and then you don'
t need to propagate carries, but only take absolutevalue and xor the borrows to see if gotta invert the resulting term
mircea_popescu: it's even better that nobody (tm) is even bothered by this, exactly like they weren'
t in teh self-same soviet union.
mircea_popescu: phf incidentally, it's a great thing the free world (tm) defeated the soviet union where people couldn'
t be published for writing things outside of the yemu sam's letters.
mircea_popescu: but you can'
t sell your vampire story unless everyone in it is very twinky.
phf: i don'
t think you could get published in america if you were to imply that gayness is biologically viral in nature
phf: there was a young adult novel about vampires, and i can'
t remember the title or the author, but it was written by a virologist, had all kinds of trivia about this sort of viral parasites (obviously vampirism was explored from that angle too)
mircea_popescu: of course, they don'
t really have rabies in galilea, but wut-eevars!
phf: goes back to slavic mythology, but i don'
t know what bes is there. in old slavonic bibles it was used to translate the word "demon"
phf: which doesn'
t have a good direct translation. "they will soon stop throwing a tantrum" but the verb is from bes, i.e. old russian word for demon, so kind of like "they will run out of the idiotic and chaotic energy, and will eventually calm down"
mircea_popescu: kinda why buying the ourdemocracy pantsuit lolboat is such a ridiculous deal. the only thing you know for sure about it is that, "wait a few years, they won'
t like it anymore".
mircea_popescu: the "uncles" ie uppity aunts don'
t like it anymore these days, though. too much nigger in it, not to mention a very strong vein of "things are as they are not only because that's how they are but also because that's how tyhey should be".
phf: oh that i don'
t know, i was 10, so i intentionally avoided learning what the point was, i just had an uneasy sense that it was there
mod6: ah, fair point. but i mean, whatever, probably wasn'
t daily sunning either.
mircea_popescu: which is why i said don'
t buy it in the us, cuz yes those people are SO into papers and empty signifiying by now that it's a legitimate problem.
mod6: i don'
t seem to have problems with that either.... at least, i have'
t had it yet.
mircea_popescu: anyway, a word re the "new chump tax drives off the lot loses 10k value" thing : it loses 10k of RESALE value. it does not lose 10k of value, ie, your new car still won'
t need new shocks just because you drove it off lot.
mircea_popescu: yes, from a pass/fail perspective brake pad is either broken or isn'
t. but natura not facit saltus, it gets there through a continuous process. there's no discrete processes above atomic scale.
mircea_popescu: of couse your brotyher isn'
t going to stick you with a lemon.
mircea_popescu can buy used cars. CARS. because i bought and own hundreds. i can'
t buy fucking used boats, and i doubt you can (or would, or do for that matter) buy used cars.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: it is a stupid thing to do. i don'
t care what you think "means never" means.
mod6: the ocean is a desert. i don'
t think i could do that for extended time.
mircea_popescu: so in the same sense kentucky fried chicken isn'
t "something that is happening" nor "something you could be part of", neither is "african american" or white, or wmaf or w/e the shit already.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-20 18:54 phf: (thinking some more i only had one clarification, second one relating to action/thought i don'
t think i have a good grasp on...)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform for as long as there's slop trickle in stable, pig won'
t find truffles in forest.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-20 19:36 erlehmann: > I read the Baseline Requirements document (version 1.4.5, section 4.9.1.1), but I wasn'
t entirely sure whether this is considered a key compromise. I asked Hanno Bock on Twitter
mircea_popescu: amusingly, 1970s parents even had internalised this whole thing into daily speech. "don'
t make me come over there!"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform quite. "don'
t fucking tell me it can'
t be done, they've done it which is why there's bombs falling everywhere"
mircea_popescu: this confluence of a) forming an idea (why can'
t you deepthroat ? SHE CAN!) and b) having a lab is the key to all everytrhings.
mircea_popescu: anyway, but back upstack : it'd be perhaps fair to say that it wasn'
t porn ~per se~ that changed the world from pantsuit to breathable. it was the fortunate situation that just as the chick in every young household had been exposed to other girls outperforming her, the dude could then afford a cam and so he could go "ok, get to work bitch".
mircea_popescu: ie, "you tv folk can come in and see our hot gear on a wednesday but don'
t teach anything"
mircea_popescu: erlehmann i don'
t think anyone alive made as much money per time, at the time. so in this sense i guess i was a fully professional... banker ?
mircea_popescu: im theoretically technically promising, but practically rather inept. i don'
t even drive.
mircea_popescu: director can'
t be on the set. producer on the set is a clear symptom of serious trouble, like white cell count
mircea_popescu: you have nfi. you keep going "oh, we have fruits also in soviet union." no, you don'
t, your ethylene pinkomatoes aren'
t fit for a dog salad.
