the enslavement of
the general population, murder, rape, arson and jaywalking.
mircea_popescu: anyway ;
the cat situation evaluates
to worse quite explainably, because if woman misbehaves and woman is beaten
then 1 norm is breached ; whereas if woman misbehaves and cat is beaten
then 2 norms are breached.
the way reptile brain works,
the sum of
two variables is larger
than either one no matter what happens ; and larger by a fraction of
the largest of
the
two, not by
the smaller of
the
two.
Framedragger: one day i fear of mircea_popescu going into recursive loop by being outraged by wikipedia definitions, using other
terms
to show his point, and
then finding
those
terms
to also be ill-defined on wikipedia. :)
mircea_popescu: anomie is NOT "a condition in which society provides little moral guidance
to individuals". for one
thing, because it's not a ~condition~, it's a situation. no,
these aren't
the same
thing. for
tyhe other, becaue individuals provide guidance for society, not
the other fucking way around.
the "individuals who are guided by society are called children.
mircea_popescu: nobody actually knows what anything is, do
they. not anymore. just word word word word word noun verb adjective numeral whatever
the fuck no meaning whatsoever
to be found anywhere ; complete and
total anomie.
mircea_popescu: there's no immorality involved in
this for
the love of all
that's holy.
Framedragger: and in other "socpsy" newz,
http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0956797616673193 << "When given
two scenarios: one in which an individual reacts
to his girlfriend’s infidelity by beating her, and
the other, by beating her cat, participants judged
that
the cat beater had worse moral character
than
the woman beater, even
though
the act of beating a woman was judged
to be more immoral."
mircea_popescu: Framedragger if
they weren't dipshits it might even matter.
Framedragger: indeed,
that's be pretty interesting. (chatter came from leaseweb, so unfortunately prolly just a bot. but a polite-enough bot.)
phf: hmm if chatter wasn't just randomly spewing scripture it would be mildly entertaining if we had
two competing fundamentalists with matching knowledge of
their respective books
Framedragger: hm, i guess so. seems
to be
the case. apparently it's a US
tech company employee
thingie (with some springs of PR by
the companies)
Framedragger: oh yeah, i've seen quite a bit of
this on various
tor irc channels
chatter: to accept islam say
that i bear witness
that
there is no deity worthy of worship except allah and muhammad peace be upon him is his slave and messenger
Framedragger: ^ (not saying it's not a lost cause while working for one of
those "tech" "leader" companies, in
the way
that applying adhesive
to a bursting pipe is not fixing a water problem)
Framedragger: << "We,
the undersigned, are employees of
tech organizations and companies based in
the United States. [...] We refuse
to build a database of people based on
their Constitutionally-protected religious beliefs. We refuse
to facilitate mass deportations of people
the government believes
to be undesirable. "
trinque: rather, not solely
the above, but implementing
the lisp primitives in it.
trinque over here farting around in amd64 asm, wondering if
the above is enough
to say done with ASM,
time
to move up
to implementing lisp atop
the forthylisp
trinque: asciilifeform: curious, by "consless lisp" did you mean basically a Forth with parens? or in other words, sexps of funcs, params, and a stack, and
that's about it?
shinohai: Pink bike, she must be
trying for
the Amy Schumer Barbie look
phf: i'm pretty sure
that look is permanent. i've seen it while
they negotiate with a shopkeeper, while
they cary bags, while
they decide where
to go, etc.
mircea_popescu: who
the fuck wears socks with actually nevermind who
the fuck wears flipflops!
mircea_popescu: and we'll look back on
the age of
the "idea man" as a great again focus.
mircea_popescu: whereas scholarship will be i dunno, screenshots of "discussions" including no equations but a lot of "concepts" and lolpics. perhaps full of comrpession artefacts ot
the point of unreadability.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
turn
towards fetishization continues. in another decade "hacking" will be collecting software
tools which ~could be used~
to explore directorry structures in which commands ~could have been run~
mircea_popescu: to quote, "but my son and my daughter came out of
the water and said papa, you promised you'd play!"
mircea_popescu: so much effort put into making
the 30yo gorgons look like 16yo fragaria vesca
mircea_popescu: and in other randomness, let
there be shed a
tear
today for
the poor wedding photographers. i mean
the expensive ones, catering
to an "upper class clientele" consisting of women slightly uglier
than
the average with fathers slightly richer. dear god
these poor people,
they
try.
they ~try~.
mircea_popescu: today, hacking means
that "o noes, we discovered stratfor was being hired
to spy". dude...
mircea_popescu: it's funny, at least
to me,
the evolution
towards fetisization. coupla decades ago, hacking meant
that party a informatizes whatever system, say its satellite network, and party b hacked into
the said system
through
the novel avenue ~and used it~
to i dunno, whatever, make itself a plate of french
toast.
mircea_popescu: isn't
this quite literally
the definition of
the
term among
the illiterate yet contemporaneous monkeys ?
mircea_popescu: alternatively it should be standard defense of every "hacker" : dude, i didn't hack anything, i simply exploited code
to release information
Framedragger: this means
that next
time i provide paginated and nicely indexed access
to relational data
to a customer, i can call
the feature "HACK
THE SYSTEM"
mircea_popescu: in random lulz, "**UPDATE- 4/10 22:21 EST** I mentioned in
this post
that it was hacked,
that was incorrect of me.
The person who created
the list simply exploited Fetlife’s code
to release information."
mircea_popescu: actually no, lessee. a
try's about seven seconds, and
then if something's found
that's about another 10. you don't always find something, but if skilled enough you mostly do, so say you gotta make 4 steps a minute. each step calls for a random radian value, which meaningfully is about 9 bits but nevertheless comes as a double which iirc is 64 bits. so you're doing 256 bits ie 4 bytes/minute.
shinohai: That's one of
the biggest `Signal+Tor makes you invincible!!!!!` guys
too.
Framedragger: (only worx for URLs
that had already been archived on archive.is (doesn't matter if by scriba or not))
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform very much what it says on
the
tin, you go out with
tools and materials, find natural resources, develop
them and get minerals.
danielpbarron: the randomness is generated and used strictly on
the user's end.
the server doesn't care which direction you walk
danielpbarron: the default method is 'line' which doesn't use rand(). but i've recently added a method which uses rand()
to choose which direction
to
turn before moving
to
the next /explore attempt
a111: Logged on 2016-12-17 23:40 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's kinda lulzy
the barrett dude never showed up, seeing how we're actually doing all he aimed
to do a lot better w/o really
trying. but hey, such is
the power of
the inept.
danielpbarron: mining generally means running foxybot which gathers (/explore) and optionally builds
the resulting exploration markers and collects
the resulting resources
a111: Logged on 2016-12-17 23:11 mircea_popescu: incidentally asciilifeform : actual usecase for FUCKGOATS in eulroa play : because
the current mining software uses random
to position
the miner,
the quality of
the rng generator decides how likely you actually step outside of
the coords you are. ie, if your rng is biased, you're more likely
to go outside.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform your kindergarten went out of business, what can i
tell you.
Framedragger: oh, i know
the issue. damn. basically as part of its "have i archived
this?" check it greps
through log of "i archived
this:";
the "dev" instance was crawling
through a 500K logfile,
the production one however has
to cope with ~220M logfile. not feasible...
Framedragger: ah, i was probably under
the assumption
that
the movement was already directional, i.e.
that
the next-angle-choice was infrequent...
mircea_popescu: Framedragger if you introduce
that bias you
turn it into directional movement.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: don't
think
that's nonsense - it's simply introducing a bias into choosing "which direction - left or right - should i prefer", no? or do you mean
that it's not "realistic" and would look stupid? (maybe...)
danielpbarron: could add another number
to
the already long /bot explore command
mircea_popescu: yeah
there is
that, in
theory. in practice, you can't implement it anyway, walk/run
toggle is all you got.
danielpbarron: Framedragger suggested
that
the character prefer
to move left over right (or vice versa)
danielpbarron: i don't see how moving forward more or less after having
turned a random angle would change
the overall pattern
danielpbarron: the random from 0
to pi picks which angle
to use within a certain half of
the circle (of possible angles), and adding pi
to it would put it in
the other half
