BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I'll give
this some more
though
today as I
take my
turn at
the homestead clearing debris
mircea_popescu: and of course never is
the gamble discussed, or
the mechanism for
that matter.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo
the power of
this scheme, such as it is, is reductionism. specifically : map a large number of idiocies on
the same (historical)
term for similar idiocies. it is a dangerous gamble.
BingoBoingo: "minority groups" likely
transforms on its context
to "political patrons" "loyal mobs" and "select demographics"
mircea_popescu: "Under
the Republic an almost unlimited frankness in public utterances was
tolerated and a considerable confusion of
the mind, unfeigned and unabashed, was bared
to everyone's inspection. Under
the Dictatorship only one idea of political and philosophical relevance could be safely expressed. As a result, public utterances became uniform and, in
the same proportion, insincere." heh. said of every republic ever.
mircea_popescu: phf ithought we were disucssing
the cl vs scheme
thing ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i mean specific
transforms. "minority groups"
to be rendered "aryans". etc. would require some
time spent with
the fishwraps i guess.
phf: to some extent init.scm is like a v patchset, functions referencing functions, which is in
turn a popularity contest, except not directly supported by wot
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo might actually be a good idea for qntra
to establish a standard procedure
to do
this. <<
There already is.
Tack a paragraph on
top of it explaining its deviance from sanity and wrap
the document as plaintext in block quotes
mircea_popescu: "The commission found evidence
that city staffers had failed
to enforce diversity and had unfairly blamed aryan-owned firms for delays in projects."
mircea_popescu: in general
the first requirement of
thought is "use language derived from
the objects not
the subjects"
mircea_popescu: after all, no physch writes up disease in patient
terms.
mircea_popescu: there is really little cause
to discuss usg behaviours in any other
terms, and
there's very good cause
to NOT discuss it in
the
terms usg itself comes up with.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo might actually be a good idea for qntra
to establish a standard procedure
to do
this.
mircea_popescu: The California Supreme Court
took up its first diversity case in almost seven years
today, agreeing
to decide
the legality of San Francisco's program
that grants preferences for aryan contractors.
The court granted a hearing on appeals by
two companies
that say
the city ordinance violates Proposition 209,
the 1996 initiative
that outlawed aryan preferences in public contracting, employment and education
mircea_popescu: phf and do you
take
the further step and say "since all ambiguity is definitionally bad design, we prolly need
to cut
this knot at a higher level" ?
phf: re standartization, issue i'm personally running into is
that we can drag
tinyscheme in
the direction of common lisp or stick
to scheme conventions. both have downsides
phf: we don't have a way
to serialize/deserialize yet, so
the point is moot, but probably not for long
☟︎ phf: ben_vulpes: get-difficulty is a straight rip of
the c from bitcoinrpc.cpp << correct way
to do
that one is
to write get-index-best
that returns block-index structure
that you can get bits value from, and
then have get-difficulty do all
the equivalent calculations in scheme, bitshifting and all
mircea_popescu: or fine - should you protest virtue is cheap for
the purpled - shakespeare, idem. and
that man had absolutely no virtue.
mircea_popescu: (unrelatedly - i've re-read
the arabic old
texts.
the previous
time i did
this
they ended up in
the fire. somehow,
the shit's grown EVEN MORE offensive over
the years. scarcely can explain
this wonder -
the people involved have been dead for a
thousand years.)
mircea_popescu: lest you hear evil
things of sin and decide
to
throw all
this crap in
the septic
tank where it belongs.
mircea_popescu: but in any case - do not
talk
to
the ones
that don't have
the official allakhu-snackbar brand,
mircea_popescu: "172 – Rule: Men are allowed
to speak
to non-Mahram women as long as
the following
two conditions are met: It is not with
the intention of lust. "
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform allow me
to quote from
the prophet moar!
mircea_popescu: that enough bar is necessarily higher in eastern societies,
that aren't quite as fucktarded as anglotwerps, and so here we go.
mircea_popescu: islam is not specifically oppressive of women. it is merely opressive of INDIVIDUAL women enough so
that
the men may be persuaded
to swallow socialism.
mircea_popescu: which goes right back
to a much older
thread re arabs and women and how it all works.
mircea_popescu: “Do you not see
that Allah knows whatever is in
the heavens and whatever is in
the earth? Nowhere is
there a secret counsel between
three persons but He is
the fourth of
them, nor (between) five but He is
the sixth of
them, nor less
than
that nor more but He is with
them where ever
they are;
then He will inform
them of what
they did on
the day of resurrection: surely Allah is Aware of all
things.”
mircea_popescu: but
this is not a matter of parties per se. it is not a matter of conviction, it is a matter of biology.
mircea_popescu: but... he speaks of minorities. minorities are not women. what's
the logic ?
mircea_popescu: i don't see how
this sawed off grenade made for
the purpose of convincing kids not
to make or use grenades you linked has anything at all
to do with
the bomb above,
tbh.
mircea_popescu: anyway.
to continue
the
thought -
the usg and its ephemera are deeply and fundamentally antifeminist.
they hate women as individuals and aim
to exploit
them as a mass.
this is EXACTLY
the situation of black people in
the antebellum south : hated as individuals, exploited as a group.
mircea_popescu: for
the same reason - army could have overthrown soviets,
tech can overthrow soviets etc.
mircea_popescu: much like
the 1st soviets would have said "have more politruk/comissars in
the army",
the 2nd soviets want more women, unspecified, in
tech.
mircea_popescu: note
that it is not said "have more WOMAN, as in, have more of
the romanian chick at mit who wrote
the ai guy's eulogy"
mircea_popescu: women, not in
the sense of individuals but in
the sense of
the mass monster
they constitute in aggregate, are always and everywhere in favour of
the state and
the statu quo.
mircea_popescu: which is why i put
the question in asciilifeform ,
the is is actually
thoroughly nailed down for
this scope.
mircea_popescu: all "produces" reduce
to "ought
to", easier for people who comprehend enough physics
to know
time is not a
thing, but even for more pedestrian minds.
mircea_popescu: "i do x because x OUGHT
TO y" < wrong. non-thought.
towards purpose.
mircea_popescu: "i do x because x IS y" < correct.
thought. from cause.
mircea_popescu: more generally, and for extensibility & standardization purposes,
the canonical form :
mircea_popescu: this is
the problem with forward-looking attempts at
thought.
mircea_popescu: "i do x because x produces y" is fundamentally
THE forward-looking statement.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless,
try an actual reasoning (ie, from causes) rather
than a faux-fiatesque monstrosity (as
to purposes)
assbot: Logged on 28-02-2016 15:11:22; mircea_popescu: i've been spending
the ~week since
the various selectatron discussions meditating on
the problem. i do not believe javascript is rescuable. not withstanding all
the effort derps put into it, javascript is fundamentally a broken idea
that for
this reason can never be useful.
assbot: Logged on 28-02-2016 14:53:51; mircea_popescu: and speaking of "good
things
that ruin other good
things", is it generally obvious
to
the esteemed b-a WHY
the movement
to "more women in
tech", "more women in army", "more women in bla-bla"
trends ? i
thought it is, but
then again maybe i'm
the only one
to whom it is.\
assbot: Logged on 28-02-2016 14:45:10; mircea_popescu: from what i hear lisp is "already standardized". i personally am not
terribly persuaded by
this claim, but will entertain it on a
technical basis as
the cases may come. who knows, maybe gabriel was right and it is.
assbot: Logged on 28-02-2016 14:44:32; mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-02-2016#1417192 <<< current shiva is
two steps away from even ~beginning~
the process of standardization. people with lisp experience will supply common but ultimately inconsequential conventions (hyphens plox!), but in general speaking, shiva's usage and lisp's general lack of practical usage or utility means
that our work here will actually standardize LISP ju
assbot: Logged on 28-02-2016 14:37:30; mircea_popescu: Оборонно-массовая и патриотическая работа, ie what
the whores (see То знай: за честь должна считать Знакомство юнкерского хуя!) and
their litter does.
mircea_popescu: once red hat can not also pay, for
the printing press was smashed,
then yes. not before.
mircea_popescu: if
this
thing is constructed on
that process, we've
therefore got nothing.
assbot: Logged on 28-02-2016 07:43:07; ben_vulpes: i recommend a
thorough course of benjies, piped straight
through
the developer funnel.
assbot: Logged on 28-02-2016 08:31:50; punkman: "the release of
the final report of a lengthy public inquiry into Mr. Litvinenko’s death."
