deedbot: mircea_popescu rated cnomad 1 at 2018/06/12 21:46:46 << dood either ran off with my boards or else produced an image of some sort ; we don't know
the future yet
a111: Logged on 2019-06-08 11:49 mircea_popescu: in other news,
the russkis apparently made a vampire-succubus-orc mod for king's bounty while nobody was looking.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in sad lulz,
the
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-08#1917766 item most eminently does not live up
to
the legacy of
the name ;
there's none of
that exquisite attention
to detail
that made
the original.
the dialogue's
terrible, both in conception as implementation,
the maps are shoddily made...
☝︎ mircea_popescu: as
anil dash would no doubt wish
to know, "are you even familiar with
the redemption cycles in
that culture".
hanbot: sure. i'm used
to seeing freedom used on slavemaker apparati like stickers proclaiming some homeopathic garbage is detoxifying or whatever,
though. FREEDOM!!1 Eat it and live forever, pleb! rare
to see it approached like
the foreign, dead carcass i suppose it actually has become, like
this, poked with a stick from a distance, "freedom of expression".
mircea_popescu: it's been
the pantsuit kick for
the past few years, "hurr durr nignogs matter, herp derp freedoms dont"
hanbot:
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-08#1917763 << haha check out
the scare-quotes on supposedly sacred institution: Publishers in Japan argue
that
the graphic depiction of underage boys and girls having sexual relations in manga doesnt necessarily exploit real children, and
that such a move would infringe on someones freedom of expression.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: in other news,
the russkis apparently made a vampire-succubus-orc mod for king's bounty while nobody was looking.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: but if we live in a shit world
today, it's in no small part because ~everyone has neglected
to crush bitchslap
the provincialist lobby lo
these many decades.
BingoBoingo: In old country news, flood waters are approaching 1993 levels, but no one has managed
to break anyone else's walls
though some enterprising urban youth
tried
to wash out
their
town
mircea_popescu: in other lulz : apparently cca 2016 steam had a "run windows
titles under linux"
thing.
mircea_popescu: well, "fighting corruption", right ? uppity dweebs, went into poker room
to dump
their edgecase links.
mircea_popescu: this is not so. gambling in
the old style, along with prostitution and not listening
to your parents were
traditionally important pillars of republic.
mircea_popescu: "oh, we're making so much money now [burning down
the oilfields]". lasted for what,
ten-fifteen years, now it's fucking dead.
mircea_popescu: neither premises are any longer
true,
the slots "market" is like
the disco pants / 70s hairdos market.
mircea_popescu: item existed at a certain point because from one hand
technology sucked just enough
to be able
to make
that kinda blinkenlichten box but no better ; and from
the other hand because country bumpkin were just bored enough at home on
the farm
to find
the box entertaining.
mircea_popescu: for
the record,
there is NO MARKET and absolutely no fucking need for slots games/machines/whatever.
they're
the contemporary equivalent of buggy whips
mircea_popescu:
https://www.sosgame.com/ << other sduch lulz. "We are saddened
to share
that SOS and SOS: Classic has been permanently shut down. However you can use
this website
to play free Slot Games and win $25 per day by simply spending
time on
this website. [...] Free slots were created as a consequence of a growing need of
the market
to play slots..."
mircea_popescu: how
the fuck are
they gonna make a game worth half a 32 inch monitor is anyone's fucking guess.
mircea_popescu: they've gotten cheeky btw, i recall
the furore when blizzard dared break
the
tacit "no game shall cost over 19.95". by now ? 80 euros (ie, aboyut a benjie).
mircea_popescu: tons and
tons of fruit flies with driveways and car payments, pretending
to granite gravestones and "a normal life".
THEY'RE FUCKING FLIES.
mircea_popescu: all
these big deals were here at some point. at some point in my lifetime. frankly, it doesn't seem so much earlier
than
today's breakfast.
mircea_popescu: just went away. arianna huffington, right, "mover and shaker", america's most politially influential whatever
the fuck dumb cunt, right /
mircea_popescu: gigaom,
this "big deal" specialist/experiencialist/entrepreneur/moasa-sa pe gheata.
mircea_popescu: sells in
the end for 1,5mn or some shit.
that site fucking owned
the internet before altavista could return a search page on "google"
mircea_popescu: it's just... look, i guess a preoccupation with gravestones and old musty writs and whatall else is
to some degree a professional deformation / professionalized mental issue. but nevertheless, consider : slashdot. fucking slashdot, yes,
the people who named
the site so
that lamers couldn't
tell it each other over
the phone, calling each other from
the video store (which, face it, early ,com internet was 100% videostore cle
mircea_popescu: nothing seems
to ever live up in death
to
the pretenses it puts up while alive.
mircea_popescu: kinda how it's fascinating
to me how all sorta
things end
these days.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-07 21:06 asciilifeform: what was
this ? ( a mud ? )
diana_coman: btw asciilifeform ch14 and esp
the 14Abis (the bounds proof for barrett's reduction) were a pleasure
to read.
diana_coman: just for any log readers around:
this is not yet
the 3d lib at all; it's JUST
the planeshift client really, still.
diana_coman: funnily enough (though quite usual in my xp) precisely after I complained re
the left/right confusion, I had now
the pleasant surprise
to find out
that meanwhile my brain sorted it really; I suspect it was more
that initially I did not realise
that
there was a mismatch rather
than
the actual changing of convention; getting back
to it was fine.
diana_coman: it's much more sanely structured so one CAN actually understand it, you know;
that's
the main
thing; not
to mention it's ...worth getting it into one's head
to start with; anyway, unless I end up writing a blogpost on "why size is really not all re code", it's probably enough
to say it's saner really.
diana_coman: "a break" as in
taking a break (from
the mess)
diana_coman: on
the bright side, ffa is such a contrast
to euloran client
to make digesting FFA a break in itself
diana_coman: asciilifeform: my
test was with bits directly read from fg, not buffered (if it wasn't clear); also fwiw further
timings and
tests are still on my list - it's just
that my hands are/have been rather overflowing with eulora
mircea_popescu: yes well, just as soon as someone wants
to do all-visible-celestial-bodies montecarloisims / novel protein folding etc -- can pay you
to do
the lyso array
mircea_popescu: for
the needs of desktop crypto
this is perfectly calibrated.
mircea_popescu: you want industrial
thoroughput for some kind of scientific megaapplication, use
the crystals.
mircea_popescu: (here god stands for lobbes an'... spyked doing it
too iirc ?)
