mircea_popescu: not, at least, since
THE LAST FUCKING
TIME
THEY DID
THIS.
mircea_popescu: western civilisation died (again) because of its shitty books (again). not in spite of
them, not unrelatedly, nothing else - BECAUSE
the books were bad. it's poisoned and killed us and
that comes with a fucking smithing
the likes of which has never been seen
mircea_popescu: the fate of humanity is
to be
this endless rat in an endless baited maze. we can't, even as we sit and mourn
the dead muroid next, stuff own gullet with
the same fucking pellets, now can we.
mircea_popescu: you can't find a book
that's not informed by either a christian or socialist notion of
theosophy. neither of
these are intellectually acceptable, or even digestible.
the dumb will have
to be washed off books before
they may be instruments of human
thought again. asciilifeform does not feel
this because he insists on only reading an (insignificant) fraction, math is math eh.
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2016-05-30 17:49 phf: pre-80s hard bounds as a source of knowledge is a here and now sort of source, same way as pre-2005 amds, etc. not only is it a limited source, it is also unstable. a year from now, we're going
to see all
the fullstack developers switching
to "classics library", and buying up last-known-prints on ebay for +++ bezzle dollars on ebay
a111: Logged on 2016-05-30 17:45 phf:
there will be no great library of
tmsr, but on
the other hand no accumulation and exchange of amulets and fetishes of knowledge, because
the last can be subverted in all kinds of ways we've seen already.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-30#1473708 << note
that renaissance happened roughly speaking in
the sense
that a bunch of bloggers, pico & co, who had developed both
their
taste and knowledge in a blogging sense strictly stumbled upon a cache of "things you call books
today much in
the way you'll call
them blogs shorty -
they were rolls
though" which held
their own ;
☝︎ mircea_popescu: for all
the "cost
to us", seems
teh cost
to you is so far minimal eh! just point an' laugh!
a111: Logged on 2016-05-30 15:56 diana_coman: life costs quite a lot in itself and
the more elaborate you make it basically,
the higher
the cost, of course
mircea_popescu: that obama is going around in cheap suits and gets more crowded at dinner
than your average 1916 workman is
the fucking criteria.
a111: Logged on 2016-05-30 15:50 asciilifeform: for instance, even mircea_popescu does not seem
to be able
to find me a phuctor box
that will stay up
mircea_popescu: maybe credits should be its own entry on
the
top bar ? minor point
tho
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo props for being so on your game lately. every
time i've seen something remotely bitcoin-related elsewhere on
the net lately, i see
that qntra already had it covered. liking
the
terseness atm
too.
pete_dushenski: fucken eh
this greek yogurt is
the bomb. screw all
the 0% fat hippies. 11% or fuck off.
pete_dushenski: doubt he'll answer directly, but let
there be no mistake
that he's been intentionally directed
to
that little dig.
pete_dushenski: just when i
thought i'd be working my way up in years and find myself unable
to handle
the rigours of hard partying, i wake up sunday morning
to find
that i feel bloody fantastic and sore only from having worked out
the day before.
pete_dushenski: i
too, deedbot, apparently respond well
to gifts of booze. and how.
deedbot: I only respond
to gifts of booze and women.
mod6: it's about 01:30 gmt
tho
shinohai: lol. I haven't
thought of hamsters in ages.
phf: shinohai: gj, in ru we say "хомячки закопошились"
that is "hamsters are stirring up"
shinohai: Fast work
there mod6 ... isn't even midnight yet >.<
shinohai: Judging from
the flurry of messages I'm getting I
think I
triggered someone.
☟︎ trinque: How cool is
that Hanno Böck dude ? << bwahahaha
shinohai: may as well BingoBoingo hang
tite
shinohai: ^ I was gonna do a Qntra on
that since it
ties into my last article on
teh guy, but lazy
today.
trinque: I'd use
the same
to deed
teh logz
a111: Logged on 2016-04-25 19:25 pete_dushenski: phf: loving
the new search.
think you could add a button or link back
to
the logs so i don't have
to diddle
the url every
time ?
phf: can also do #eob
to get
to end of page
phf: more bitching on my part
than actual work. literally
two lines..
trinque: asciilifeform: yeah, you could also just put an incrementing integer in
there.
Framedragger: aha,
then i guess you don't really enjoy
the fact
that gpg uses aes for session key actually? :)
☟︎ Framedragger: asciilifeform: couldn't you use an argument of a similar form
to say
that e.g. AES depends on luck? (2^256 keyspace of luck, for example..)
trinque: I'll make no argument
that RSS is sane, only
that it has a definition
trinque: obviously here I'm just using some guy's python rss module; while I can go break
that
to behave, not what I prefer
trinque: as per "not breaking shit
that works"
trinque: phf: right, I would prefer not
to account for spec violations
phf: reload particularly needs
to be fixed, and it's perhaps 5 lines of code, but requires dropping one large context, and lifting another
to do it intentionally. as is whatever fixes done
to log str result of background radiation noise like effects of my brain, "i suddenly remember relevant bits, and here's
the solution, go write it down"
phf: so your rants only apply
to log, and not universally?
phf: asciilifeform: apropos, i remained surprised you reject naggum's suggestion
to iso everywhere
phf: or my favorite, ids
that follow some magical internal logic
phf: but you also have
to account of all kinds of other spec violations. like having non-blank ids
that are also non-unique
phf: i wrote a bunch of rss
tooling and dealing with non-unique ids is a bitch. i usually hash entry for entries with blank ids, and return
that as key.
trinque: because
the spec says it's unique
trinque: because he is not relying on
the ID field being unique
to determine whether he's seen an entry
