diana_coman: to link it
to
the previous
thread, it seems
to me quite similar
to saying
that "instinct" of noob pilot is shit,
therefore instinct of *any* pilot, experience be damned, is just as shit; I seriously doubt
this.
diana_coman: ugh; I still call it misnomer
though; "growing" like a
tree without any internal work still doesn't mean
that everyone's just as hollow
mircea_popescu: telling a girl she's complete is like
telling a pig it's a sparrow.
mircea_popescu: load, load, why not. perfectly anti-reality nonsense, crafted
to appeal
to a certain sort of moron.
mircea_popescu: and yes, indeed
their are -- her fucking guardian angels. never
the fuck mine, holy shit burn
the whole
thing down.
mircea_popescu: and no, of course "not needed", "do we still have
to DO
that". because why
the fuck learn from
the few and far between successes of
that sorry failed republic.
mircea_popescu: pretty much ONLY KNOWN SYSTEM where
truthfully and genuinely,
the promise of "drugs" or "tools" or whatever is actually fullfilled.
mircea_popescu: every
time alf goes on about "mind enhancing
tools"
the pvhd is my mental model.
mircea_popescu: a:
they both had
this projected faint light line around
the cockpit representing
the
true horizon. set so faint as
to disappear in direct vision, it nevertheless informed
the (more sensitive) peripheral vision, preventing accidents wonderfully!
snsabot: Logged on 2018-08-29 12:10:45 mircea_popescu: pro
tip :
the
thompson's a passible concrete cutter. it comes from
the same mental era as
http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=warthog ; made by
the same people for
the same reasons, abandoned by
the same cucks for
the same reasons.
mircea_popescu: in other same "burn down
tools" : what unites
the here discussed sr71 and
the other excellent us plane ever built,
the warthhog ?
diana_coman: lmao; I puzzled when first saw
there "flask" - but
then again, not sure one can bake www-anything quickly without importing any mess

tooling.
mircea_popescu: but yes,
the cunt lobby wants
the
tools destroyed, because
the only
thing
that can oppose "let
mircea_popescu: same bunch of morons who ALSO pushed
through very expensive but otherwise mostly pointless sensor upgrade -- also specifically so as
to claiom "costly"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, re
the sr being expensive : it was not particularly expensive, even by
the day's standards. it was however besed by
the dumb cunt lobby who, for instance, WOULD NOT permit it get upgraded with a data link, SPECIFOCALLY so
they could claim "useless -- data only avsilable on landing"
mircea_popescu: obviously from
THEIR pov if
there isn't any such
thing as a spear
to fucking poke
them until
they submit (yes,
the SPEAR was
the original society-changer,
turned human
tribes from matriarchy
to patriarchy because finally
there was an efficient way
to make
the dumb cunts stfu with
their dumb nonsense) all
the better ; but
theirs isn't a legitimate pov.
mircea_popescu: if
there's
ten,
ten million or no dumb cunts sitting around
their holy
tree or whatever
the fuck chanting
their spurious nonsense it makes no fucking difference whatsoever.

the whole of it was always hanging out with
the cool people. i don't mean, "cool", as in, swag. i mean cool as in david lynch quote above, dork bought a 12 room house for $3500 in
th worst gangland he could find for his wife and newborn kid and lived
there, "the fear was palpable"
mircea_popescu: but yes,
the sort of
thing involved
there, such as "listen sonny, ever heard of Schlieren flow visualisation ? no ? look here,
this is supersonic jet in flight!" are
the primary dirvers of intelligent adolescents even putting in
the work
to become adult engieners in
the first fuckin gplace
mircea_popescu: large undergirth of
the whole "republican-democrat" debate being pepsicans. most of
the manginas involved were republicans.

the sr71 was probably man's greatest achievement wrt flight. item carried no flares/countermeasures, because its defense if fired upon was
to... accelerate, and outrun
the missile. mach 3 capable, flying at 20-25km, never shot down, its parts fit so loosely on
the ground (because of
the significant
temperature variation it operated under, between relatively cold on

to have an archival of links it sees bolted on
to bot ?
mircea_popescu: incredible, i never had
that atrocious outrage ambered before ?!
snsabot: Logged on 2019-08-10 02:27:19 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, is it hard
to make
timezone settable from www ?
then can get free faux cross of page boundaries
mircea_popescu: apache is in many parts a better system (in
the sense of "system" used in "systems design)
than
the post-poettering and especially post-linus kernels ; mod_lisp may be a decent way
to get lisp running in practice
mircea_popescu: incidentally, i'm quite happy with jfw 's "Actually "mod_lisp" is perhaps a misnomer; it could be viewed as a generic IPC interface
that comes with a Lisp implementation of
the server side." comment.
mircea_popescu: (and, while at it, how
the first analog computers were developed -- no, it wasn't bomb calculators, it was jet engine air intake anti-unstarters for applications such as
this guy.)
mircea_popescu: 'find out how a loose assemblage of rare metal parts flew on insecticide', how about
that for a
title.
mircea_popescu: oh, and of course it burns synthetic fuel, rather
than distillate. so yes, chemical engineering
too.
mircea_popescu: (great story re fabrication,
too. item is 80%+
titanium, can't be washed in
tap water, can't be
touched with cadmium-plated
tools, its story is
totally worth reading from an 'achievement of human mechanical engineering' perspective.)
mircea_popescu: sonic flight)
that its fucking
tanks leaked fuel on
takeoff ~as a design feature~.

mircea_popescu: there was, of course, no supersonic civil flight since
the concorde/tu144 retirements, so i suppose we could use 1970s as a high water mark. but if anyone's having kids
these days, i believe by
the
time
they're our age
their only interaction with flight will be in
the
hanging-on-ropes format.
mircea_popescu: Let halves of aeroplanes
turn overhead,
their smoking, broken cockpits dripping "it is done"...
mircea_popescu: continuing
trend set with "civil air managed
to lose early 2010s
the combined profits realised since man discovered flight" (and
then continued by obama's ending of nasa
to redirect
the money no more properly african goals), white man is actually getting out of aerospace altogether.
mircea_popescu: in simple words,
the
F35 failure is bringing about a winter
the likes of which was never seen ; previous achievement of
lisp monkeys nowhere within 1%

tmsr owns 'em. atm
there's no genesis for a cl compiler/interpreter (let alone e.g. networking code a la usocket, or a curl etc.), so... inb4 "fuck you spyked, I can't even compile sbcl, how do you want me
to stand up your logotron"

time since my last reconnect : 1d 5h 8m
mircea_popescu: i suspect it'll be alling in
the us
too. it's how socialism works, give kids parents, give kids
teachers, give kids jobs...
BingoBoingo: The idea
that a school's particular program of study necessarily leads
to a job in
that field is far more intact in Latino land
than it has been in
the US.

this is utterly fucking false, of course.
the
telegraph doesn't get in a month
the daily readership of
trilema. but i
think
the ~pervasiveness~ of
the antiquated, and mistaken, worldview may rub off on people.
BingoBoingo:

to school for
to do what you do?" I answer "Bibliotecas." "What does
that have
to do with what you do?" "Well, a bit, but mostly I just stumbled into a dragon's den shortly after school during one of
those historical paradigm shifts and haven't been ate yet.

then online economy, by now...
