gabriel_laddel: Fucking Yegge and everyone else who was involved with CL, even
tangentially did a huge disservice
to
the language. He (and rich hicky) complains and complains about issues
that can be solved with a few macros.
mircea_popescu: anyway, eating
trail mix for survival, in
town. what's wrong with you know, cuisine.
mircea_popescu: oh
that was
the other
thing! "soylent". ran by some douchy dood with all sorts of "gonzo" marketing ideas, vaguely reminescent of
the airbnb clowns.
trinque: heh! I'd be careful with
that, masamune-san!
gabriel_laddel: iirc it was pretty clear
that mod6 needs
to read loper-os, but what do I know.
trinque: thought it was another recent
thread.
trinque: ah not in
that case
though. mod6 has perfectly legitimate interest
there, and so do I.

trinque: all roads lead
to make 50 billion dollars,
then cry as alf says it's not enough
trinque: gabriel_laddel: what's new in
the mclim-mines
BingoBoingo: One can also buy "power bars" in bulk and not regret
their life choices as
they eat mostly read food with
the occasional "power bar"

takes a batshit king and world's
thickest minefield
to keep out 'mcdonalds', it might yet
turn out
to be worth it.
BingoBoingo: Well, read past
the headline for
the other Kim Jung Uns
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Maybe, but from
the lie flow many
truths!

the mouth of south kr

http://www.loper-os.org/?p=752 mircea_popescu: by
the
time ice age 24 is available "only in select
theatres" because nobody can be arsed
to
torrent it
they'll be ready with iphone 17 ?
trinque: provoke him bad enough and he might even
teach you something.
PeterL: one man's (alf's) half-baked idea is better
than another's work of art
Framedragger: like,
there's a line between stimulating
the forum and
trolling
that should not be breached

trinque: feel free
to review some of my half-bakery from old logs.
Framedragger: it did, it did! but i feel i may be wasting people's
time by asking
to look into half-baked ideas
Framedragger: but i have
to stop presenting ideas i do not really believe in myself. i guess i
thought it may garner some useful feedback
tho.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: secret bot is an irc user in a channel which no-one knows
to be a bot (or a bot of particular use). scriba also has
that kind of hostmask (unaffiliated/framedragger/bot/scriba) but everyone knows what scriba is for.
jhvh1: mircea_popescu: (search <word>) -- Searches for <word> in
the current configuration variables.
mircea_popescu: who
the fuck
thinks
this works. seriously now.
trying
to shoot
the idiot is hard enough, but
to disable enemy combatants by spraying "uranium" on
them...
mircea_popescu: wtf,
they're going
to carry a plant by
the backpack so
the enemy has
to
take 10 minute breaks after every
two minutes of shooting ?
mircea_popescu: so fucking stupid. soviet workers shoveled dirt in
the very core of
the blasted ukrainian plant.
mircea_popescu: wasn't
this ancient us army crap from like
the 1950s ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform exactly what happened with indians,
too. mn randos were sucked into indian lands / indian women / etc.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger meanwhile i figured out
that if im careful
to never use it, it won'\t mostly pop in again
Framedragger: but it appears
the whole range
thing fucks
things up
too much
to be useful
mircea_popescu: if
the us lost 400mn heads
tomorrow it wouldn't stand.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'm not prepared
to go into microbiological details of smallpox. but even admitting vaccine saved 10, heck, 20% of
the population.
then what ?
mircea_popescu: they are protected however still, because "herd immunity", which is
to say OTHER people not gettng it artificially reduces
the "population density" from
the pov of
that pathogen.
mircea_popescu: but more's
the pojnt : even in very genetically diverse populations (such as yurpeans, because colonialism! such as not redskins, because stoneage losers), a good portion of
the population has poor vaccine response.
mircea_popescu: vacciness work
through stimulating
the expression of pre existing genes/proteins/complexes, not by creating a magical forcefield around your dick.)
mircea_popescu: all
these proteins are created, mostly in
the liver, on
the basis of blueprints, which are encoded genetically. which means
that if your father didn't have anywhere a marker for smallpox, and he had you with a woman who also, you are immune
to vaccination : it won't express anything.
mircea_popescu: (to explain
the science involved : immunity works as a multi layered interplay of numerous proteins. some recognize specific bits of cells - hopefully, pathogens only, or else autoimmune response - some mark
these recognitions, some others further mark, it's a whole shebang.
mircea_popescu: the indians didn't stand a chance. if you
think vaccination works in aboriginal population you're a very special sort of lovely.

mircea_popescu: gotta whiten, it's
the cryptographical priviledge check.
mircea_popescu: "here's how we're being respectful
to one another, because god forbid if someone should speak plainly we might hear about all
those classes we skipped in college."
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-08: [17:40:27] <asciilifeform> 'Data coming from
true random number generators is never 100% random. I am aware of no exceptions. Whitening is required in all cases before

mircea_popescu: Framedragger did i misread or did you say it's not doing
this anymoar ?
shinohai: I suppose ouput such as
this is designed
to get more $$$ in defense spending or somesuch
shinohai: <asciilifeform> i cannot parse
this document. it is output of a shannonizer. <<< kek
Framedragger: oh yeah. i'm
there for
the lulzy headlines. but you're right asciilifeform
mircea_popescu: trinque he has
this constructed
thing whereby "x must exist and
the
thing
that must exist we call x".
