BingoBoingo was just commenting on
the reddit applied ethics failure.
thestringpuller: coincidentally in fallout4 you start off in exactly
that, a cookie cutter subdivision.
BingoBoingo pretty sure
the 'Murican cookie cutter subdivisions are social experiments in
the vein of 'vaults' in fallout
thestringpuller: L0L.
That's understandable. Having gone
to university with
tons of basic white girl clones,
they do know how
to dress
to visual stimulate sexual arousal. But
that's about all
their good for.
thestringpuller: And not
to "date" just
to hit it and quit it after a fraternity party or something.
pete_dushenski: thestringpuller: i can't not
think of 'basic' without
thinking of
the seminal 'lohanthony' skit about 'all
the basic bitches' etc.
pete_dushenski: if anything can ever bridge
the black-white divide, it's
this genetic anomaly.
pete_dushenski: thestringpuller: you're not alone as a black-dude-with-an-affinity-slash-respect-for-the-non-black-dude-fro. when i let my hair down, everyone from
the ethiopian immigrants here
to
the locals in jamaica all be like "yo man! hao cum yoo iz gott hayur like mee?!"
assbot: Logged on 27-01-2016 03:51:03; BingoBoingo: Oh
trilema header returns with more pyramid and afro
BingoBoingo: No
that's a reason
to move
to a mountaintop.
thestringpuller: ben_vulpes: reason #310421 i need
to move
to portland: better air quality. How
the fuck do I get inflamed sinuses in fucking winter?
assbot: Logged on 27-01-2016 16:17:10; ascii_butugychag: you
telnet and get a repl.
assbot: Logged on 27-01-2016 15:13:14; mircea_popescu:
the idea is
to replace json with sexpr which means you'll have
to have some sort of scheme in
there. and once you do, it'll replace
the retarded format of coin scripts
too, eventually.
mats: i was just in a meeting where bosses decided
to downgrade ~10k windows 10 users
to
TLS 1.0 (from 1.2) because of a bug from patch
tuesday
☟︎ shinohai: ;;later
tell mircea_popescu I installed Eulora on my new lappy, any chance you can resend me my pass when you have
time?
thanx.
ascii_butugychag: 'Hercules is a continuation of
the
TMS470/TMS570 line. It's focused on safety and performance. One of
the key features of Hercules is dual CPUs running
the same code in parallel ("lock-step").
This lets you immediately detect faults in
the CPU itself.' << apparently not entirely extinct
adlai: and on
the 8th day, God released pdf2djvu
adlai: ascii_butugychag: danke! i was able
to get
the pdf from
the 2nd link with a
textmode browser... "look ma, no js!"
mircea_popescu: so in a quest for obscure nonsense, we encounter an interesting bit of david blight : "One of
the ideas
the reconciliationist Lost Cause instilled deeply into
the national culture is
that even when Americans lose,
they win. Such was
the message,
the indomitable spirit,
that Margaret Mitchell infused into her character Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With
the Wind."
mircea_popescu: so how does obama relate
to
the collapsed urban infrastructure i nthe very fucking capitol ?
PeterL: don't Chicago people do
that all
the
time?
ascii_butugychag: incidentally
the centerpiece article in
that rag was hilarious, it was about d.c. folk fighting over (yes) parking spots
they excavated in
the snow
PeterL: meh, it was
the first
thing
that popped up. I don't really reccommen
the link
mircea_popescu: PeterL anything about
the most
tediously unfunny cracked article ?
ascii_butugychag: so
there is a kind of phree volkischer-beobachter
they hand out in
the
train station here. and it had a full page ad in it
today, melted my brain, full pyongyang mode
mircea_popescu: yes, but it's necessarily a meaningless
test seeing how wikipedia itself is not notable.
PeterL: doesn't wikipedia have some sort of "needs
to be noteable" policy?
mircea_popescu: i'm not even sure if
the events or
the
tardpedia retelling make it.
adlai: any self-respecting unit had exceptions in place, but every single new recruit had
to sign a form exempting
their sergeants from such rules
assbot: Logged on 27-01-2016 17:19:02; ascii_butugychag: he can say 'drop and fifty pushups, maggot' and it will not even occur
to one
to not do
the push-ups, much less
that one is not maggot
punkman: "Earlier on Wednesday, Facebook's chief executive had said its own AI project had been "getting close"
to beating humans at Go."
mircea_popescu: anyway,
this discussion goes splendidly with
the article i've been working on, so ...
mircea_popescu: yes, well, in
this sense at rest photons are
the most valuable
thing in
the world, seeing how nature doth not shit
them out at all.
ascii_butugychag: whereas a bloke is worth something possibly at
the moment he charges
the enemy machine-gun nest successfully
ascii_butugychag: i recall a spiffy mircea_popescu article re: how one ends up having
to lie
to chix, when
telling
them
that
they are worthless, because
they are in fact worth something
mircea_popescu: but
the deep reason isn't
that it doesn't occur
to
the girls. it does occur. what also occurs is
that it doth not, at
the
time, matter! whether
they're maggots or not.
mircea_popescu: anyway - i keep slaves, it affords me deeper knowledge and more experience in less
time
than any sargent could ever hope for.
ascii_butugychag: he can say 'drop and fifty pushups, maggot' and it will not even occur
to one
to not do
the push-ups, much less
that one is not maggot
☟︎ ascii_butugychag just now realizes
that mircea_popescu would make a world-class sergeant
kakobrekla: anyone got
that recent pic/link showing bitcoin dev by lines since beginning at hand?
mircea_popescu: stop passing by reference and instead pass by value. lest you sit among a pile of knotted pointers wondering where all
the value went.
mircea_popescu: that's
the problem here.
this constant "turns out" device which allows you
to pretend metaphysics beats physics and meta-* rules supreme.
ascii_butugychag: with money. but
then
turns out
that said goat was subsidized by american occupying soldiers...
mircea_popescu: all you can
tell from aside is what it can't look like.
mircea_popescu: it doesn't altogether seem a stretch,
to me,
this. but
to attack
the concept is
to attack yourself.
mod6: <+ascii_butugychag> mod6: should i re-grind
the
ts genesis? or can your vtron eat
this without choking. << i can
throw it in my patches dir
tonight and see what it does with it.
mircea_popescu: but until such a
time, i'll extend
those dudes
trying
to do stuff
the same slack i extend you, which is : who knows, maybe
they are what
they wish
to be instead of what
their environment seems
to dictate. and maybe one day.
mircea_popescu: so, how about : you show me you can in fact live like a man, rather
than as a welfare child, and
then i show you where
there are partisans,
to believe.
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: i
think even
the air i breathe is subsidized somehow.
mircea_popescu: and let's stick with
the "narrative" bs. whether
the us has any sensible life left in it somehwere or not doth make very little difference
to me. i'd be quick
to believe it makes very little difference
to you also, if it weren't for your sad situation of being EX
ascii_butugychag: PeterL:
the goal is much more modest, i just need something
that lets me poke around a running
trb
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag> incidentally, ~nobody~ noticed
that i used an ancient vdiff
that shat out
timestamps << no, i noticed, as well as
the "false" string.
PeterL: is
this a step
toward a working bitcoin-os?
PeterL: basically it gives you hooks into
the internal guts of bitcoind?
ascii_butugychag: shiva is a very dangerous instrument, and anyone considering using it for whatever purpose will need
to read
the docs and 'measure seven
times, cut once'
assbot: Logged on 27-01-2016 15:12:03; mod6: I have no clue. Was hoping asciilifeform would explain all of
this when he gets a chance.
ascii_butugychag: (perhaps whoever shot out
the substations in ca last year, partizans)
assbot: Logged on 27-01-2016 15:02:51; mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> but in point of fact
there are no partizans in usa. <<<
this is factually not so.
ascii_butugychag: mod6: should i re-grind
the
ts genesis? or can your vtron eat
this without choking.
ascii_butugychag: incidentally, ~nobody~ noticed
that i used an ancient vdiff
that shat out
timestamps
ascii_butugychag: my first attempt was a very dirty hack, i re-did it as a properly vtronic
thing (to preserve pedigree linkage
to classical
tinyscheme)
