mircea_popescu: dun see why you'd want a positive rating from
that mind anywya
mircea_popescu: if someone wants
to negrate you because legacy pile was bad, hey, all
the better.
phf: asciilifeform: did you miss
the insides of parenthesis?
phf: even dpkg/apt would be better
than portage (note
that dpkg and apt lets you build packages from source in a reliable and automatic way, but
the setup for
the process is not documented anywhere, since it's supposed
to be "package maintainer
technology")"
trinque: it's a mountain of hacks under
the hood
trinque: asciilifeform: I moved portage over
to openbsd (which had been done once before by another) only
to decide
the
thing had gotten far
too complicated.
trinque: asciilifeform: yeah, when I run my gentoo recipe, it's usually musl unless I actually need
the glibc
turd for something
trinque: danielpbarron: I've got like five versions of
that genbootstrap
thing; what are you
trying
to accomplish ?
mircea_popescu: whart,
they gonna keep her in embalming fluid
till 2024 ?
thestringpuller: Kanye singlehandedly unleashed high frequency
trading onto
the sneaker world en masse.
trinque: after a very serious meeting with
Trump he apparently chose
to move his very serious run back from 2020.
trinque: kanye just gotta get his retweets from black
twitter and #2024
trinque: how's
that cultural revolution coming along?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu:
ty, piece now more accurately reflects org chart
mircea_popescu: whatever
the fuck
that
traci lorde did is exactly right for
them.
mircea_popescu: and honestly,
there;'s absolutely no need for
the orc hordes
to
touch shakespeare.
phf: oh man, upenn, et
tu, brute!
BingoBoingo: In similar news, Christmas Shopping for
the frugal: Buy a Christmas
Tree. Have
the bottom limbs stripped off and cut it in half so
the
top becomes a small
tree. Slice
the now detached bottom log into disks. Score
the bark on
the disks with a knife. You now have a
tree and
tree scented disks
to give as presents.
BingoBoingo: Anyways
this is a serious Coindesk problem. People ask about doing
things, decide
to not do
them instead doing
the Silbert fiatola
thing, and
then make Coindesk list because it is all silbert stuff nao.
BingoBoingo: That one girl who came in with generic "bitcoingirl" nick or something like
that and left. I
think early 2014-ish
mircea_popescu: how quickly we forget
the very reason we even have
to call it "blockchain" rather
than pretend it's bitcoin.
tsk
tsk.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-13 18:44 asciilifeform: or (at
the risk of sounding like complete idiot, because i did not play it) alchemy in eulora, it works
there, but meatspace 'alchemy' is considerably more expensive, painful, and rewards -- few and far between, and most practitioners live and die without accomplishing ~anything...
jhvh1: danielpbarron:
The operation succeeded.
jhvh1: danielpbarron:
The operation succeeded.
danielpbarron: !~later
tell
trinque can i still get
this file somewhere?
mircea_popescu: or maybe it's all part of
the summoning of
the great again. new york used
to be
the cheapest in
the werld at some point.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-14#1583068 << maybe
the dear hearts an' gentle people of iowa&co finally figured out new york's really not worth
the hassle ? and stopped moving
there in hopes of becoming a magazine writer with a manhattan mansion just like
that carrie bradshaw irl genuine real person ?
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2016-12-14 05:14 hanbot: ...nah. but
totally, a derpy
tourist pidgin would be just
the
thing
to
take off here.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-14 05:06 hanbot: "i'm still getting used
to my contact lentils", i said
this.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-14#1583052 <<
that's nothing ; in romania she asked
the clerk in
the fish shop for a coupla sidewalks, because english
trout seemed cognate
to romanian
trotuar and wtf is a "pastrav".
that guy is probably STILL staring into
the empty space.
☝︎ ben_vulpes: someone showed me a 'data point'
that supported
that hypothesis recently
BingoBoingo: Except I don't get
to play with
the food as much.
hanbot: anyway BingoBoingo a major lesson of
the forum was
that "nothing/nobody could be
that fucking stupid" fails
to pan out, and pretty much every
time it's
tested,
too. i imagine scouting stories for qntra yields
the same realization.
hanbot: ...nah. but
totally, a derpy
tourist pidgin would be just
the
thing
to
take off here.
☟︎ ben_vulpes: "oh, contact lentils,
that's what
they're called"
hanbot: oh no, i realized
this on my own. when out grocery shopping.
ben_vulpes: how long did it
take
the arsholes
to correct you?
hanbot: "i'm still getting used
to my contact lentils", i said
this.
☟︎ hanbot: speaking of which, i got contact lenses for
the first
time last week.
talked
to a few people here about
them,
then realized i'd been calling
them "contact lentils" (lentejas de contacto vs lentes)
BingoBoingo: But
the forum offer a flayground full of bodies
to skin!
hanbot: couldn't've hurt. really
though,
there's nothing like
travel and working for mp
to give someone a pair of disdain and derision glasses.
BingoBoingo suspects it was
the years in
the forum slop helped
to hone hanbot's craft
jhvh1: mod6:

phf: well, definitely not moving
to argentina
a111: Logged on 2016-12-13 17:41 asciilifeform: four
times more per what ? per km ??
phf: ru still uses pascal, at least at msucmc when i did evening math school kuryachiy
taught everyone C, which i later learned was a kind of rebelling. dept proper uses pascal for all course material
mircea_popescu: in wetware
these are stress-switched (which is why "stress" even exists in mammals) ; but i don't expect hardware
to be able
to reconfigure my machine from one
to
the other - just as long as it does either well i can buy
two machines.
mircea_popescu: this kind-of mirrors
the
two functions of brain discussed in neuroscience,
the fuzzy and
the sharp state
mircea_popescu: as per
the first, returning "nothing
there" wrongly when i scan hill will result in wolf eating me; returning "wolf" when nothing
there will just result in more checks, no biggy.
mircea_popescu: there's
to my mind
two different and unduly conjoined at
the hip in practice meanings of "computer". ONE is "i need
this
tool
to amplify my searching - false positives are not a concern, false negatives are very much a concern" ; but
THE OTHER is "i need
this machine
to reliably do boring
task for me - false positives are CATASTROPHIC, false negatives not so big a deal".
