mircea_popescu: in this sense i suppose djb is
a boneh, though i don't like how he runs his harem ; wheras yuk dude is
a boeck.
mircea_popescu: i suppose as far as the orcs are concerned, it's mostly
a boneh-or-boeck distinction.
mircea_popescu: lobbes, sure ; though it's iffier there, in that caesar and then espeically augustus actually attempted
a restart of the proper republic out of the ashes of the shit it had ended up in. caesar in this sense is the polar opposite of lincoln, ie, attempted to manipulate the overwhelming pantsuit into the extinction-or-sanity dilemma, rather than being manipulated by the underwhelming pantsuit into internecine warfare.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: n in the reduction of the tree of "what could the author possibly have meant" built on first pass is "what was author aware of".
a direct way to bruteforce this problem is to look at dates -- exactly like we did above re FG question. if you'll look at dates, they become essentially the equivalent of the set limits in set theory -- and it is thereby you know the historical approach is intellectually valid -- it permits
a const
mircea_popescu: in summary : comprehension of
a text permits two approaches, one constructive and the other historical. if you approach it constructively,
a text means the most it possibly can, irrespective of any auctorial considerations. it is from this school that we have eg, the theory of value in art, whereby "art are those texts that continue to mean after their context was extinguished". if you approach it historically,

a way that auditor can see
a tight correspondence between every line and what machine physically does. note that this doesn't entail 'use C!' but can also mean different machine.
Mocky: I have had an interest in working on hardware for the past few years. Not in the 'make ic fab' sense, but just like 'know how to make something'. But I haven't known where to start. Not super juiced to drop some python on
a raspberry pi and consider myself
a 'maker'
a111: Logged on 2018-04-30 16:16 asciilifeform: ( for the sake of thread-completeness, what would the ~alternative~ to this story look like? i suggest -- it'd be
a process which does to ic fab what 'polaroid' process did to colour photography. find way of etching the circuit from prefab 'sandwich' without caustic baths, sputtering, etc... )
Mocky: asciilifeform, I must to confess to having been
a reader of your blog years ago for
a short time. but you seemed so bitter about the state of hardware and future prospects. maybe just my perception.

Mocky: his writing had for me
a flavor of what i would now say is: (read in logs here can't find now) "stop being so fucking stupid for one goddammed minute"

a bit of
a laughingstock here, after that.
mircea_popescu: nobody said the devil doesn't have
a nice, thick, pleasant penis. the problem with the devil isn't that EVERYTHING is wrong.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, i hadn't even noticed that. i dun think i ever actually watched it that far in. srsly Mocky, it's
a somewhat common term in hacker culture. esp the ru set.

A twitter storms ?
fettiffany: hat's the worst, they spend their time complaining about inflation and dollar today (it's
a page that puts the prices of the dollar and the euro at black market prices) and they are selling dollars and bitcoins or satoshis at exaggerated prices. they complain when they are supporting corruption
fettiffany:
a mi solo me gustan las arepas que yo preparo. las hago un poco dulces
fettiffany: According to Diosdado they were going to charge
a percentage of the remittances that family members made to Venezuela. and that's
a steal
fettiffany: et's see. in 2012 there was an economic crisis in venezuela, but you still went to the supermarket and got products. Today 2018 in the supermarkets there is nothing and if you get
a product the price is equivalent to
a minimum salary. How are people supposed to eat, buy medicine or clothes?

http://btcbase.org/log/ , y por supuesto el blog de mircea_popescu. me imagine que el va
a ser activo aqui mas tarde hoy.
fettiffany: ya le habia dicho
a mircea_popescu que solia trabajar en un call center pero despidieron
a un monton de personas incluyendome. asi que me encuentro nuevamente buscando empleo, y aun peor porque no me encuntro en mi pais.
hanbot: ah. tenemos varios personas aqui que hablan espanol, pero normalmente si, hablamos en ingles. i asked you if the "declaration" you read
a couple times made any sense to you, and in general what your hobbies/jobs are.
danielpbarron: this "site" is
a chat room for people involved in Bitcoin to talk about anything. having
a key registered lets you participate with more features
mod6: Ah, gotcha. Well, generally, if you want to be
a person, you need to get yourself
a key and register with deedbot. Then you can self-voice, and participate. As one does.
Mircea_PopeSkew: I will come back with
a real identity and ask my encryption question to someone who will understand, like you.
