trinque: that animal can be considered crazy just
as a paper can be rejected by peer review.
adlai: my main takeaway from the 'experience' (including 46 days of involuntary commitment in the closed ward) is that there is no such thing
as crazy. sure, some people are out of touch with consensus reality, but you can define that quite precisely, and a lot of "crazy" people do not meet this definition.
phf: psychotic episode, later diagnosed
as bipolar after ~~1 year of weekly mushroom use. split personality after one mushroom use (guy believes that the second person inside of him is god). psychotic episode after weed/lsd combination. obviously all diagnosed and hospitalized at one point or another
☟︎ adlai: the more nuanced answer recognizes that i was hospitalized
as a direct result of an argument, which would not have happened if i'd left the house with a sweater that morning. so... don't forget to bring a towel?
adlai: the "just fine" answer is: "no, i was hospitalized
as an indirect result of conversations which would not have gone the same way without my reaction to certain situations involving drugs"
adlai will read the lamport piece to the friend
as a patience test, before suggesting sicp / little schemer
adlai: lamport's DnD example is perfectly logical: (apply #'<folder> file) -> "label this file
as belonging to that folder", (apply #'<folder>) -> "show me what you got"
adlai: "That all happened twenty years ago. In retrospect, thinking of programs
as automobiles wasn???t so bad. Automobiles are pretty simple. If their car stops working, people expect any good mechanic to be able to figure out why and fix the problem" << Welcome to the 21st Century, where the computers still don't work but now they're in everything!
trinque: braindamaged thing uses the same command to init a drive
as attach the softraid again next time
ben_vulpes: not necessarily underground so much
as unknown by people
ben_vulpes:
http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160916/#242 << plausible, sure, but what has actually happened is that a) the chicoms have diddled the phillips female bit such that it cams out at the slightest provocation and than on top of that the zamac used to replace it wears after so much
as a single slipped drive and b) torx is a convenient workaround for the shit metals
adlai: [scalpl] seen from a distance, is a pretty good machine for converting ten thousand dollars into twenty thousand. [no footnote here! it can make money in crashing markets, too] But, given the [minimum trade size] it is profoundly useless
as a machine for converting ten dollars into twenty.
mircea_popescu: if you're not going to do anything anyway, might
as well take the lab.
mircea_popescu: ./lisp -core lisp.clcore, one line after they misspelled it
as losp.clore is really fucking endearing, too.
adlai: precisely,
as opposed to crystallization
trinque already pulled up the tinyscheme source, will read
as he drinks wine
mircea_popescu: to counterbalance the oestrogen overload, here's some harm : "Without boasting, I can tell you that, when Volodya struck me across the ear and spat in my face, I really got him, so that he won't forget it. It was only after that that I hit him with his primus and it was evening when I hit him with the iron. So he didn't die straight away by any means. This doesn't prove that I cut his leg off
as early
as the afternoon. He was
adlai: oh there are links in the links, and idiots spreading false myths (
as opposed to the other kind)
adlai: how the hell would you arbitrage the asset formerly known
as S.MPOE, other than across time?
adlai thinks out loud: 'crystallising' might be a better metaphor than 'freezing', since the purpose isn't only to reduce code temperature, but also to remove impurities
as they emerge
adlai: serialization is how most (?) novels were published for ~ever. strikes me
as a fairer economic arrangement than premium+royalties but i'm probably just a clueless outsider
mircea_popescu: just
as long
as you make sure that a) usg can't get at your wealth and b) you left a network behind you're liable to find the prison term more pleasant than life at home./
mircea_popescu: in practical terms, if you'll be going to prison for limp dick shit, your best move is to have bitcoin and a wot. the personnel is poorly paid, greatly infiltrated by gold diggers who correctly intuit this is their easiest way to endear themselves to the sort of people who can touch real money, however briefly, and generally very supportive. for
as long
as you got leverage outside you'll be fine.
mircea_popescu: anyway. "don't gamble" is solid advice. gamble works in prison exactly like outside -
as taxation. unless you're running the joint, gambling is just another way of looking for a boyfriend.
mircea_popescu: some of the weirdest shit there. including somebody who thought using a common glass salad bowl
as a receiver is a good idea, somehow ; lotta casual "your cunt's bare, why not be naked" stuff, and etc
mircea_popescu: ok, this is almost
as fun to watch
as girls doing butt lifts.
phf: anyway, first version of btcbase was written in python, and ran for a year
as a proxy to znc with a synchronizer to kako. basically exactly what Framedragger has right now
phf: asciilifeform: well, fwiw i used sbcl for years and was running in increasingly larger number of problems. just small annoyances. when i tried interacting with sbcl "community" it turned out to be the usual suspects, google employees, gender pronounced. i have the same antipathy to sbcl
as you to llvm
pete_dushenski: 'EVERYTHING MUST GO IN THE DISHWASHER AND THAT MUST BE FINE.' << chez moi i throw everything in the dishwasher, which i then run when full and empty thereafter, while the girl does this 'wash by hand
as you go and air dry on the rack' thing for reasons i don't fully comprehend.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: i always thought 'garburator' was more of a garbage-purolator : a machine for mailing garbage
as far away
as possible
pete_dushenski: 'I was dead-set on finding a house with a garbage disposal, or "garburator"
as our sorry ("Sorry!") neighbors to the North call them,' << l0l! love the souble dorry. also, i've never lived in a house or condo with a garburator and may never.
☟︎ phf: right, but apparently normally this comes in
as a err_nicknameinuse message, now it's err_unavailableresources
mircea_popescu: generally you should be able to open /proc/pid/mem
as a normal unix file.
mircea_popescu: !), inasmuch
as they wanted to something stupid, turns out to be contrary to what they... ~actually~ wanted to do.
mircea_popescu: which incidentally... it really makes me chuckle at the predicament of "AAA" studios. so first, they make a broken game (broken here defined
as, not-neutral state-evolution-graph) ; because their game is broken, they have to forbid bots - not just in form, but in practice. then if they don't manage to forbid them too efficiently they die everquest/diablo 3 style, inflation. but if they do manage to forbid them, they die like
mircea_popescu: "President of the Argentine Society of Writers and
as Professor of English and American Literature at the Argentine Association of English Culture"
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> (now,
as to ~why~ in the latter case, i do not know) << Usually because people now "finish" basements in new construction placing a toilet below sewer line. Grinder is so turds can be pumped up to sewer line.
a111: Logged on 2016-09-15 23:59 mircea_popescu: anyway ; i will propose that the large kitchen is a fundamental part in the happiness and sane social insertion of young women ; that even poor places in orcland implement it
as more essential sociocultural component than, eg, men's mechanicizing garage ; that all effort should be directed at having one above all else.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: at which point they throw fit ; you hang up ; they finally pay someone to read contract ; come back all seethingly angry but trying to hide it and explain how inconvenient it is to them. you... amuse yourself with it
as best you can.
mircea_popescu:
http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160915/#564 << which is why i love them. you sign contract, then you sign their faults report, w/e you call it. then they call you
as if this is literally the first time this happened (because... it is) and try to pretend like they're geting paid. you explain that they are not getting dime one ; and that if they do not remedy like - right now, they are not getting sued because contractor comes with
mircea_popescu: very inept job. for the same money could have left the keyboard
as a cover.
ben_vulpes: the chain mail is moderately more expensive but a /very/ effective replacement for such
as steel wool.

http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-15#1542439 << so i've done my own digging and asked a few others to dig
as well, and i can't figure out what "the code" i'm supposed to have is. grepping for 'footnote' turns up zilch in my copy of mp-wp. throw me a bone here?
phf: in fact, it's best to treat interactions with u.s. infrastructure
as a trip to the zone from пикник на обочине (or stalker for en readers), where rules of physics don't apply, nothing is what it seems and you're not guaranteed to come back alive
thestringpuller: they must pay off regulators to pass it off
as being "up to code" or something...
diana_coman: for 1 sec I thought ben_vulpes actually *washes* the dishes ;
as in using sponge+washing liquid, no dishwasher

☝︎ mircea_popescu: you might
as well apply basic grammar to myspace postings.
adlai learned that before pressing the clock, he counts again liberties of each group. this is
as relevant to irc
as it is to pokemon.
mircea_popescu: the concept of "require"
as "this particular primitive" is one thing ; but the way it's practiced and the way fucking galls me is
as "this particular collection".
mircea_popescu: the concept of "library"
as "this collection of primitives" is meta-syntactic, and strictly personal idiomatic. that a bunch of anglotards try this thing where they "all mean nigger in the same sense - and everyone always does!" is just you know, anglotards being anglotards.
mircea_popescu: which is what i mean : take that library apart, merge it into the bot, be happy, it'll be one project
as god intended.
mircea_popescu: there is no such thing
as a "library" ; and there is no such thing
as "code reuse". put everything in a directory and build it.
mircea_popescu: very useful for entryway
as it is. the monk is welcome to purify his learning after.
mircea_popescu: phf cuz logging
as we use it atm is a centralized thing
pete_dushenski: that i can totally see. but until such time... i mean, it's not
as if inline quoting is a skill that needs to be kept sharp.
phf: fwiw that approach is gossip-proof, there was a thread in logs, that there's not really such a thing
as "log" in gossip model, and the conclusion was that logging will need to be reexamined. inline quoting though remains
