diana_coman: ugh, I can'
t seem to find a transcript of the thing
mircea_popescu: notwithstanding that a) trump decides what's secret and what isn'
t and b) lolreally ? wtf did the blue state imagine diplomacy is ? reading the fake news outloud ?
mircea_popescu: isn'
t this a little like the 18 yo girlie asking "what'd getting into fucking this late get me anyways, people'd been fucking forever"
mircea_popescu: not even a rando. the newborn has the excuse that he wasn'
t there to hear the calling ; but the dorks who frittered their time away in presence have no excuse, nor any way to wash the shame of their cowardly, subhuman build.
mircea_popescu: but the general point being : the anglotard narrative is fundamentally broken. it's not you know, "broadly correct, needs adjustment". it can'
t be fixed. whatever you read in english newspaper makes you dumber, and you can'
t fix this.
trinque: asciilifeform: think of the expense of holding that territory, and then you have all these underlings who don'
t want to pay you!
ben_vulpes: and he asks why i don'
t burn down city hall.
mircea_popescu wouldn'
t take over eg romania if they paid. i can'
t imagine oregon or w/e is any better
mircea_popescu: and so now you have to maintain accountants + hitmen, and neither one is sufficient, to keep enough pressure on the crown so it can'
t come up with bullshit.
trinque: asciilifeform: because they can argue a greater percentage of "omg they were just going to pocket it" than of "and we also have to pay things you don'
t know about"

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-15#1656143 << lol i'm afraid i don'
t understand this 'fix' well enough to implement on disposable craptops that actually have intel me on them. let me know if you take the plunge :)
mircea_popescu: this isn'
t a bad movie. it's insufferable, because it is a good movie about cockroaches that really shouldn'
t exist.
shinohai: I was already convinced that Roger Ver populates r/btc with markov bots. Can'
t even find anything to Qntra about there unless BU breaks, etc.
shinohai: I wouldn'
t be surprised if they actually found that entertaining.
BingoBoingo: Nah, unless it's burning petroil mix, the exhaust won'
t smell right
pete_dushenski: anyways, geekwad, no, evidently doesn'
t have dirigible.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: india isn'
t as socially stratified as it used to be. member of parliament was recently banned for ~all air india flights~ for chiding an attendant who stuck him in an economy seat.
mircea_popescu: also, i don'
t expect the hotel makes any money from the deal. they're giving the rooms away free. etc.
mircea_popescu: i don'
t get it, so india apparently sees a rider for the very first time, gets all excited ?

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-14#1655841 << why did btc4rx7 deal fall through ? /me offered previous owner of saddam 10btc. he declined because 'too volatile' and 'family to feed'. i didn'
t think he'd bite, but now there's at least one more schmuck who can'
t say he never had the olive branch extended to him. i guess that's something.

☝︎☟︎ mod6: not a year goes by that I don'
t read about some person who got drunk, fell asleep on their porch mid-winter, and loses some digits due to frostbite.
mircea_popescu: tornado be like "bitchez, didn'
t you want flying cars ???"
trinque: ah ok, can'
t say I've been there.
mod6: ya. i was just talking about this today, in fact. long story, but at the end, he fucked up, and how's he supposed to learn that he fucked up if no one slaps his dick and says "you fucked up, don'
t do it again" ?
mod6: i mean, how is one to learn if one doesn'
t know he did incorrect action/whatevers?
trinque: they also can'
t block a walkway or entryway to panhandle. next year they can ban the panhandling outright.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-29 16:10 mircea_popescu: (basically, long story short, usg financed a coupla units in georgia and ncarolina with japan's money, ain'
t giving it back. loss is whatever you want it to be, 3 to 10 bn)
mircea_popescu: trinque teens also can'
t take gf into woods to fuck her intensively no mo ?
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> on the upside, really can'
t be fired anymore. << probably not. i don'
t worry about it. if one door closes, another opens. besides, someday not too far off, this will be the thing.
mircea_popescu: it wasn'
t done originally because it'd have made core dumps much less readable.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> ( you can'
t do it on fpga. ) << needs actual crystal?
mod6: cool. that's good anyway, we don'
t need revenge of the floating-point bug.
a111: Logged on 2014-09-18 19:37 asciilifeform: 'happy is the man who has one leg, one sock doesn'
t tear, one boot isn'
t needed.'
trinque: all the more terrible and uninviting a universe if there aren'
t elsewhere salt water sacks whose symbols we could hope to grok?
Framedragger: sure, if you argue for (if that's the term) ultimate epistemological relativism, crabs in water, then whatever. but we don'
t intend crabs to intercept a space vessel anyway
ben_vulpes: i have seen this before, the continentals holding posts in usg bezzletrons, and i don'
t quite get how it makes sense. "we all went to hahvahd biz skool for credential washing to operate scammatronz", maybe?
mircea_popescu: "Your whole team can come together around the right design using Mockups. It's so easy to learn, both clients and customers can use it (for free even), to describe their needs more clearly." [because they are illiterate, and even if they aren'
t -- can rely on the requisite critical mass of literacy never being reached]
mircea_popescu: for the same money you might complain tail recursion can'
t be explained in any language hn speaks. hurr durr, let them fucking learn languages first.
mircea_popescu: nope. similarly pint of oil can'
t be fit in any prepuce any man carries. what's one to do ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but no, greek alphabet and most of greek text extant is understandable. and understood. that dutch can'
t be arsed is neither here nor there.
shinohai: The motivation for creating the shitty database boils down to "the one we were using wasn'
t written in a hipster language." <<< top kek
ben_vulpes: "baby you are entirely capable of deducing what the new buttons do, i don'
t want to hear that kind of nonsense from you any more."
a111: Logged on 2017-05-08 17:04 mircea_popescu: i don'
t think you either know or could meet if you dedicated a year to it someone possessed of an ai capable of identifying who the fuck to shoot.
Framedragger: (will produce text from mind if anything good comes up, but likely won'
t)
Framedragger: i suppose one cannot avoid this general structural, at least i can'
t, yeah. does wonders for my ongoing internal-anarchism debate :D
mircea_popescu: aristotle built plenty of machines that didn'
t work also.
mircea_popescu: the fact that you get an erection watching a picture of Anne rather than reading "Anne spent her days naked and her tits were big and milky" is no argument as to the ~meaning~. your erections ain'
t meaningful.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform or maybe because the hope that diagrams won'
t pile up and evolve to hieroglyphs entirely baseless ?
mircea_popescu: somehow the fact aristotle is a major source of quotes today in europe, but fukantothmoth or w/e her name was isn'
t a source of anything for "the great nation of africa" idem dun bother. why the fuck is it that i can recide names of ancient members of the republic of letters to fill an orthodox pomelnik for a full mass, and nobody can name three fucking egyptian authors he likes. supposedly they taught our barbarians magic an
mircea_popescu: somehow the observation that they could read aristotle in the middle ages but couldn'
t read egyptian until 1800s doth not bother the diagramist.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-21#1587264 << so delightfully naive, in retrospect. "oh, the reason alphabet doesn'
t work is that the meaning of words gets lost through thousands of years, but if only they had slideshare then! the wholly contentless meaningless diagram is eternal -- nothing there to lose!"
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2016-12-21 18:43 mircea_popescu: now we understand each other. dutch can'
t be "wrong" about aristotle per se. it is a fact he didn'
t much understand what the other said ; and it is a fact that in the dutch system, dutch's observations stand, however vaguely greek flavoured they may be.
trinque: if one can'
t derive ought from is, and authority dispenses commands, not so hard to process.
Framedragger: i don'
t have a strong case but don'
t consider all of analytic philosophy to be just "public intellectuals". a *large lot* of it, sure, so makes sense to just dismiss all of it for the sake of saving time / internal sanity
Framedragger: but yeah. also paragraph notion vaguely relates to "log ranges" concept (which i haven'
t developed any further, yet.) l1 folx give labels to log line ranges; these 'breaks' can then visibly (not obnoxiously) appear in online logotron.
Framedragger: ast-based-diff does imply getting rid of 'line' concept in source, doesn'
t it
mircea_popescu: no, Framedragger , it wouldn'
t be neat. it would be normal. code-as-ascii-string diff fundamentally can'
t work.
mircea_popescu: why the fuck can'
t i add the string 68 with the numeral 7 to get the real 74.99999999 as god intended ? it's ALL STRINGS YES ?
mircea_popescu: that the rest of the crap ~dun work that way... hey. i thought that's mostly why you don'
t like the rest of the crap in the first place
mircea_popescu: it's one thing to say "this fellow has no idea what the fuck he's saying" ; it's quite another to say "this fellow doesn'
t know of our hardships!". the former's an argument. the latter...
mircea_popescu: what, it's nonsense because we don'
t share the same incentives to misrepresent the facts ?
Framedragger: code can'
t scroll horizontally, breaks too many things. e.g. visual selection of blocks. needs to literally-fit-in-head horizontal-wise
mircea_popescu: anyway. you're telling me you can'
t read code broken on space like sane wordwrap does ?
mircea_popescu: your job is to write your line of code well ; not to "ensure" random person you don'
t nor can know LOOKS AT IT FROM THE RIGFHT ANGLE
mircea_popescu: apparently a bunch of idiots watch too much netflix and don'
t encounter nearly enough clubs to the mouth to know better than trying to apply in life what they saw in the cartoons.
