i.e. on ~small children~, who
don't train for it or expect it ; and worx fine for sorting folx into the 4 basic buckets,
mircea_popescu: this suddenly clarifies a lingering... not quite disagreement
i wouldn't say, but something or the other with asciilifeform re iqs.
i don't credit the concept at the upper bound -- saying this guy is smarter than this other guy because 138 > 133 is a very dumb way of approaching the matter ; or othersise stated, IQ > 100 is entirely meaningless.
mircea_popescu: "If
I had to describe using only a couple of sentences what it feels like to be a conservative,
I would probably compare it to the hypothetical but surreal experience of noticing how many people around you have headaches because they keep banging their heads against the wall. If you
don't do anything, that makes you objectively a "part of the problem", especially if you express any distaste towards having to pay for some incr
shinohai: Well,
I see "Bitch" in there. This is why
I don't translate Chinese.
phf: (fwiw so far
i've been using patches prelude to stuff metainformation there. one interesting property of patching an already pressed lisp system, is that you
don't want a clean press. instead you want to find what state your system is, and then press it further down the chain. but because you
don't want to restart the system likewise, you want some additional actions performed as you're moving down the press chain. so
i've been using prelude as a place
mircea_popescu:
i don't know how it allows if
i can't move a god damned file.
phf:
i don't think that's a good idea, but
i can't articulate an objection. vpatch now needs to know about your wot and wot management, or else the process of patching now becomes explicitly providing a pub key, a corresponding sig and a vpatch itself.
phf: well, signature validation is done by gnupg,
i don't see any reason to bring that whole thing in, and there's very little reason to system("gnupg ...")
mircea_popescu: yes we
don't have a gns yet, but this doesn't excuse us from... doing the same computations by hand as if we had it! it's not suddenly allowable to go "well since
i have no running water
i therefore do not wash". no bitch -- since you have no running water, you walk fifty miles uphil each way to GET water in a bucket. still wash.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-14 15:38 asciilifeform: the 1 thing
i still
don't fully understand is why diana_coman's subdir gotta move
diana_coman: fwiw
I managed to do this to some extent, but
I don't like this "to some extent"
jhvh1: asciilifeform: jurov was last seen in #trilema 1 week, 2 days, 10 hours, 33 minutes, and 45 seconds ago: <jurov> mod6: ben_vulpes: have you decided about forked coins on foundation's address? should
i report them, or sell, or they
don't exist?
phf:
i don't think
i've ever seen a non-working lift in moscow! certainly never two (and there's always two in those 15s) at the same time
mircea_popescu: yeah.
i always was more of the ... how to put this, defensive hunter ? "
i don't mind killing things but
i really dun wanna carry them" sort.
mod6:
I don't have a low-land dog either, no. Definitely need a newf or lab or whatever.
mod6: Duck is good eating.
I don't have all of the equip. for it. Most guys have a lot of decoys and a blind or boat of sorts.
mircea_popescu: well... kinda the whole point of smoking, neh ? "it just... relaxes me, man" "and how do yo uthink it does that ?" "
i don't know, there's some like brain receptors or something"
BingoBoingo:
I don't think USG can simulate the smell of cannabis smoke, however the Brazilians here for the "expo cannabis" are departing either for home or Punta del Este
RagnarDanneskjol:
Don't know if you already have anyone in place for comparing/assessing outputs.. In the past
I've used colleagues in Beijing to help screen candidate writing samples (cause
I don't read or speak Ornamental).
I'm happy to have someone do the same if it helps. Otherwise, will just let you take over from here.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-10 13:10 mircea_popescu: the ~other~ explanation, however, might well be that
i don't write on topics about which they're trained to think they have an oppinion. it's easy to forget the parameciums are not actually people, and to imagine human process impels them ; this isn't however the case, they just go where they were trained to go and do what they were trained to do, no more.

don't mind,
i'm curious what they charged you
izabera: all good,
i don't actually need help or anything
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
i don't dispute that part. sure, necessity is the mother of invention, a proper beating whenever needed the cornerstone of domestic bliss, and so following.
mircea_popescu:
i don't expect the hyphenating kind would put the husband first.
mircea_popescu:
i get it, you
don't powerlunch there every day. but if you run into a gal that takes your breath away... wouldn't it be the proper time ?

I don't recall ever seeing cleaning crews near the river. or anywhere other than the esquinas of convenience stores. anyway, if they're anything like their southern neighbors ~everyone you meet will warn you about pickpockets/bag snatchers, to the degree someone who doesn't offer such warnings is by that sign a potential friend ;)
mircea_popescu:

i ever met an argentine who had any money. at all. ever.

☟︎ BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> "that aside, experimentally BingoBoingo produced a gangster roll out of a btc.
i don't expect anything changed other than same item now costs .5" << you get THE ITEM THAT IS. for ever less btc. << And there's the pain of the experiment
mircea_popescu: diana_coman
i don't mean re this, necessarily. mpi as an import is one thing
diana_coman: asciilifeform, can you work me through the steps to "subsume it into your own"?
I don't yet see clearly what that is

mod6: because what
i don't want to do is have a perl genesis, then some vpatch that deletes everything and inflates a bunch of ada stuffs. prolly be better to start in the lang you expect to say within for the lifetime of the application.
diana_coman: asciilifeform, there is something
I don't understand: shouldn't
I be able to press the second cut now with the new genesis present?
mircea_popescu: incidentally, re that :
i don't think most people are equipped to evaluate how much it'd suck.
i base this on my own experience, whereby
i didn't understand what sex in tub is like before trying.

i don't get what the fuck ELSE did they imagine it's for ? normal people taking tramps in for a fuck&suck say so. that they
don't say so just means they're WEIRD, it doesn't mean "it ain't gonna occur". a tramp's a tramp, a thing, like a hammer, with a proper usage implicit. aaanyway.

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-05#1746522 : that discussion was mid and then late 2016 ; on dec 2017
i had to direct s.mg tech to CREATE rather than simply use a cripto lib. for this reason
i don't wish to pay nsa anything -- it didn't do the work
i wanted it to do. it's true that it released a "intangibles and goodwill" sort of

☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: or in better terms : the conversation could have been carried in 2016, in the terms of "here's what the future looks like, wut do" rather than end-of-2017 in the terms of "here's what
i don't like about how the past looks".
mircea_popescu: however. if
i don't have a neck to squeeze when something blows up no work was in fact done. that's the writing/reading distinction, code is enacted by reading, in the speciffic v sense of the term.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-18 15:19 mircea_popescu: in other items of republican interest : eulora is at a stage where we have to set down what we'll use for sensitive data encryption (such as for instance the privkey files).
i don't particularily wish to use aes ; anyone wants to contribute to this emerging spec ?
mircea_popescu:
i don't really think it's much of an issue altogether, except for the part where it fails to find a line for ascii search.
mircea_popescu: the other problem
i'm confronting is that
i don't now remember what the chinese even meant.
jurov: mod6: ben_vulpes: have you decided about forked coins on foundation's address? should
i report them, or sell, or they
don't exist?
phf: do you see it rationally and then deconstruct it, or do you first experience the wrongness and then seek the source of it? because if it's the first one, then
i'm possible lacking necessary tools, but if it's the second, then
i just
don't always get to the seeking out the source part
mircea_popescu: phf
i don't understand the dating scheme involved. page says august 15, 2012, text refers to 2001 as "13 years ago" (so was it 2014 ?) and you present it as an event that just happened ? which is it ?
mircea_popescu: he has a good nose sniffing it out, but
i don't believe your sicilian's "if thumbs hurt, cut arm at elbow to be sure" approach is warranted. next patch put a warning in the comments an' let 'em be.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-01 23:44 phf: well, scratch that,
i'm just ranting. once you have the setup, it's a pretty smooth operation
i suppose.
i just
don't want to bother with the whole backing up the internet thing

I don't have an ada at my disposal atm. So will do an entire test of the thing tonight and post results as
I have them (probably on my site).
mircea_popescu:
i don't think the previous runaround was enough punishment for his sins.
phf: mircea_popescu: nope, it's a styling bug, which needs to be fixed, but
i've been having hard time with it last time
i tackled it (but
i don't remember what was the issue, something related to tables and <pre>s)
mircea_popescu:
i can see the point re "birds gone by". by the time your fighter jet comes with "and
don't turn left lest its jew nose cuts off engine compressor" its like... WHO DID THIS IN RAILS!
mircea_popescu: even in the 90 ie 91,
i don't expect a majority of nubile collegiate sluts perceived AS AN OBLIGATION the invitation to whore out for the airmen.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform depends where.
i don't see china clearly enough to say. maybe they got turkeyws.
mircea_popescu: generally substance abuse in post soviet world would curl the contemporaneous mind. cluj tribunal, three levesl, maybe say 50k sq foot of floor space, a thousand or two (mostly women) working there had A TRUCK.
i don't mean a van.
i mean a semi.

i don't see it sending agents to blow up dept of state trashbins.
mircea_popescu:
i don't recall castro making any decision in the kennedy ultimatum, at any juncture.
diana_coman:
I don't think he realised/understood/perceived the option or he'd have gone for it as far as
I can tell otherwise
diana_coman:
I don't doubt it; precisely my point above: they will go for whatever is cheapest available regardless of anything else
diana_coman: no,
I don't; we always had leather shoes/sandals and
I suppose
I did not really notice much what others had for shoes
mircea_popescu:
i'm like "silk" dude recognizes the word, it's like
i went to fish shop in 1980. "oh, THAT is what we
don't have here!!!
i know what it is! it's the thing this shop doesn'thave!"
mircea_popescu:
i don't think anyone uses kvm in the sense you use it.
mircea_popescu: if
i mention how
i had slave-labour-made fresh crannberies sauce as well as yogurt chimichurri for the lamb over thxgiving (which we
don't even actually celebrate)
i'm just being an asshole rite.

I'm curious about the utility of microscopes.
Don't really care about meth purity too much.
