jurov: Is mircea going
to do
this for eulora? I missed it.
a111: Logged on 2016-10-03 18:23 mircea_popescu: so we'll just have people run historical snapshots and
that's
that.
mircea_popescu: so it's stable, and can continue indefinitely.
they have not
the power
to change
the situation at any rate.
mircea_popescu: this both satisfies
the desire of github rats
to feel connected
to bitcoin even
though
they aren't ; as well as bitcoin's necessity
to be rid of
the "talented" young minds.
mircea_popescu: but w/e, after
the
total rout of
the gavin forks in 2015 and
the political rather
than
technological defeat of
the summer of forks earlier last year
the remaining hole - which is also not going
to get plugged - is exactly in
this vein (segwit is no different), where all comers are more
than welcome
to define magic versions, script meanings and paralel chains ; which everyone else is more
than welcome
to ignore.
shinohai: "We propose a soft-fork
that defines a new opcode (redefining a NOP opcode) as
the OP_COUNT_ACKS using
the segwit script versioning system"
mircea_popescu: anyway ; like colored coins except with a different dood pretending
to authorship.
jhvh1: ben_vulpes:
The operation succeeded.
ben_vulpes: !~later
tell pete_dushenski 'no ceilings' isn't a /bad/ mixtape, on review
mircea_popescu: so girl bought "brazilian grapes".
they're indescribably aptly named. colored
this luscious black, like a brazilian chick's
tone ; big, and round, and
tough and sweet.
PeterL: I
think she knows
that one already
mircea_popescu: PeterL has
this decided "kids interests" streak in him. he knows all
the shit 12yos are liable
to find cool.
PeterL: what is
the difference between a zippo and a hippo? One is very heavy and
the other is a little lighter!
mircea_popescu: think of starting a wood fire. "many
trunks in
the forest, including mine and friends' i saw, had zippo lighter approached
to
trunk - nothing happened"
mircea_popescu: as
that pacino character aptly points out, "i'm chippin'"
mircea_popescu: well, opium adiction is very slow. you need
to actually get addicted.
mircea_popescu: it was safe mostly \because lacking
the social context.
mircea_popescu: we are discussing very unlikely situations here. back when i was a kid, codeine as a phosophorous salt was
the child cough remedy ; i
took plenty ; so did other kids. did ~nothing.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: but yes, humanity being what it is -
this isn't a complete solution. given a large enough population, you'll find individuals capable
to survive anything ; hiv even has innate immunity believe it or noit.
mircea_popescu: he mostly studied men.
there's a marked difference between
the genders.
mircea_popescu: surely. dope is still
the best way
to open up china for "trade" ; as it is
the best way
to get
that snotty chick with "plans for
the future" open for... hm. "partying".
mircea_popescu: if you're willing
to die
tomorrow you can have five pounds of your choice of dusts, seeing how yo ugo rob a bank.
mircea_popescu: and
the beauty is,
the only
true boundry on
the $costofdopehabit is
the ceiling on
t.
mircea_popescu: addiction limits
that
t very narrowly closer
to inf. if you get her started in college she'll die before her
tits sag if we're
talking eg meth.
mircea_popescu: specifically,
that male self-hate
tends
to reject
the world (which is what "i hit rock bottom" always is - it is insanity
to imagine
the addict understands
the world in your
terms, and "Has seen reason" ; no such
thing, he just activated a peculiar, and reasonably well understood, psychological process. no rationality involved) whereas in females
tends
to reject
the self.
mircea_popescu: there's some biological factors
to account for
this, both directly (shittier metabolism ; stronger response
to neurotransmitters ;
the venereal 50/5
trap etc) and indirect (through
the workings of sexuate reproduction women are always vandable) ; but i'm pretty sure
there's also psychological factors involved.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: womne almost never hit rock bottom.
this is almost entirely a male phenomenon.
mircea_popescu: much like hillary, she
thinks it merely enhances her life and she could quit at any
time, if
the balance
turned -ev
mircea_popescu: (note
that
the ~only punishment described is... having
to leave "the country". as if not smelling
the fucking farts of ustards is
the worst fate.)
mircea_popescu: "protecting esper l3 comms from
terrorists who don't understand how demolished world works."
mircea_popescu: it's literally what hillary clinton
thought she was doing with her derpy email server. and still
thinks
this.
mircea_popescu: incidentally,
the demolished man is an excellent piece, inasmuch as it's pretty much an exact description of both
the ideal as well as
the practical implementation of "modern democracy, civilised & globalized" as
teh bureaucrats perceive it.
mircea_popescu: vaguely related, it
turns out
that
the per capita price for polish children cca 1942 was 25 zloty.
mircea_popescu: i suppose not enough faux "women in
tech"
to satisfy
teh libtards.
scriba: Something went wrong while attempting
to read
the log.

http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20161003/#340 << yes. as we speak diana_coman is busy at work making snapsnots of linuxen. because it's obvious from practice
that
the way
this goes is "i can't install eulora on linux" "we
tested
this" "but i can't".
then upon extensive and expensive research it
turns out...
THEY CHANGED
THE FUCKING DISTRO. breaking software. because why not.
PeterL: I guess
there is something
to be said for not doing everything at once, makes it easier
to understand
trinque: Framedragger: I can help you fix
that python error; ping me when available.
☟︎ shinohai: Well I certainly learned
the merits of preserving an older gcc
this weekend
mircea_popescu: if anyone is inclined
to maintain forks of any linux distro (much in
the manner of
trb -
to clean, not
to "support"/utf/systemd/etc) we can prolly work something out.
☟︎ ben_vulpes: not
that i'm claiming
to understand what
the machine is doing.
ben_vulpes: this gulf between computers as
toys and computers as devices
to be used by people who can patch, understand what
the machine is doing stretches wider every day.
mircea_popescu: so we'll just have people run historical snapshots and
that's
that.

think 'old version.' if
there existed a medieval gcc, i'd at least consider it.
mircea_popescu: there's a fucking right way
to do
things, and
this arbitrary "i shall now be a becoming actress" ain't it.
mircea_popescu: how is it
that
the republic can do just fine progressing at
the clip of its own progress, no faster
than
that, nor slower ; and
that while we don't specifically wnat
to "do
things" or set goals, nevertheless we do
things and achieve (other people's) goals ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "i will now make apple pie out of
turnips, because here in new york all we have is
turnips. mmmmm delicious apple pie, new-york style.
the angel morni
told me so!"
