mircea_popescu: "There is no reason that a programmer should know that this rewrite is needed. On the other hand, finding that performance was not
as expected should not have led the manager of the programmer in question to conclude,
as he did, that Lisp was the wrong language." ahaha what ?!
mircea_popescu: This example is a mistake that is easy to make. The programmer here did not declare his arrays
as fully
as he could have. Therefore, each array access was about
as slow
as a function call when it should have been a few instructions. The original declaration was
as follows:
mircea_popescu:
as someone once said, "their tricks work for them only a short distance of their run, and for us the whole run."

mircea_popescu: "And outside the US there were major Lisp efforts, including Cambridge Lisp and Le-Lisp. The humble US grassroots effort did not seek membership from outside the US, and one can safely regard that
as a mistake. Frankly, it never occurred to the Common Lisp group that this purely American effort would be of interest outside the US, because very few of the group saw a future in AI that would extend the needs for a standa

as to what the difference between his and "everyone else"'s is, so got lost.
mircea_popescu: such
as a backflow of "your shit is broken/down/fuck you"
mircea_popescu: anyway, the point oshivers' not aware of is that THE ONLY way to have 100% solutions is with the power of the wot
as deployed by b-a
mircea_popescu: that we'll doublespend all the txn that they see
as conformant, and then impose the longer chain with the doublespends.
adlai should maybe have used Y for the soft limit example; these are different parameters, and until miners start wasting their own money to back up these claims, the claims might
as well be plaintext on a webpage for all Bitcoin cares
psztorc: This has two larges exchanges
as well.
adlai: psztorc: i'm more interested in measuring the seismic trembles
as miners agonize over raising their soft limit past 1MB... ie, being the guinea pig that expends their own hashpower-hours to verify whether or not it's all a fluffy bluff
ascii_butugychag: or simply derping about, prescribing tools for folks who actually ~do~,
as if proposing stalls for cattle ?
assbot: Logged on 12-01-2016 13:32:43; mircea_popescu: "f course, a full charge won't be that important most days," << god fucking help them once memory effects and other such things start taking a toll. the full prospect should read "
As previously announced, the Bolt's 288 cells will be able to go over 200 miles on a full charge about 20 or so times. Good fucking luck with your new disposable car!"

☟︎ mircea_popescu: do you mean "this" manner,
as in the latter ? or actually "that" manner,
as in the former.
mircea_popescu: "the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the square of the catheti", for the curious. kids the world over (in those places with an actual culture,
as opposed to hunter-gatherer societies of primitives) actually learn this by heart, and it's one of the first steps on the stair they ever meet.
Tomiii: BingoBoingo: well, determinstic keys, and much smaller keys. possibly
as small
as a bitcoin address.
BingoBoingo: Generating GPG keys that don't suck is hard because RSA encryption is decrypted by division. Too easy to divide, falls. ECDSA in Bitcoin gets more breathing room for now because not
as straight forward.
mats: why not just modify 'CLFLUSH' to do the same thing
as 'CLFLUSHOPT'
pete_dushenski: "For all that it appears to be a JS abomination running on the iPhone, the Google Mail application routinely trounces the Apple Mail application in searching, rendering, speed, and more or less everything one would want from an email application on the phone." << beats desktop (eg. thunderbird) handily
as well. web-gmail just... wins.

As this realization dawns on me, the room seemed to grow dim and slip sideways. I look up at the Ultimate Unix Geek, spinning slowly in his padded chair, and I hear his cackle "old age and treachery...", and in his flickering CRT there is a face reflected,
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: the kid knows his ashtanga from his saatva and not a lot besides. trudeau's
as innocent
as a butterfly, which is why chix dig him and dudes couldn't care less. he's nowhere near
as much of a strong retard
as the commie premier cunt running alberta for the next 3.5 years
pete_dushenski: "GM has put a 60-kWh lithium-ion battery that weighs just just 960 pounds into the floor of the Bolt.
As previously announced, the Bolt's 288 cells will be able to go over 200 miles on a full charge. That full charge takes nine hours on a Level 2 EVSE thanks to the onboard 7.2-kW charger. Of course, a full charge won't be that important most days, which is why GM says that you can get 50 miles of range in "less
mircea_popescu: you can say "for any x" just
as well
as you can say " ∀ x".
mircea_popescu: but
as far the machine is concerned, there is no difference between sum-sigma and letter-sigma. nor any meaning to any symbol. and so the whole "oh we gotta have universal quantifier
as a symbol" is to my eyes an exercise of naming the function "understanding" so
as to get ai.
mircea_popescu: there is no actual meaning to proposing Σ-which-i-interpreted-
as-sum and Σ-which-i-interpreted-
as-plotin are somehow different in the "eq" manner but similar in the "equal" manner.
mircea_popescu: there's
as the romanians say, "mai e mult pina departe". there's a lot to go to far away.
mircea_popescu: "
As an example, table 13-1 shows the character labels, graphic symbols, and character descriptions for all of the characters in the repertoire standard-char except for #\Space and #\Newline."
mircea_popescu: i bet you they all grew up
as kids among a herd of wolves worshipping the symbol, never once thinking to make them write it down in words.
mircea_popescu: feels like 30 fucking years, i reemember it
as from under a concrete slab.
mircea_popescu: so everything starts
as gpl, welcomes any sucker foss head to contribute, then "progresses" to a mit license and hey, maybe apple wants to buy it!
jurov: "Secondly, we want to release a new version of Electrum for mobile devices and tablets. In order to make Electrum available in various app stores (such
as Microsoft's Windows Store or Apple's App Store) we cannot keep the restrictive GPL license,
as publishing Electrum on some of these stores may break the terms of the GPL."
mircea_popescu: (this has in point of fact been measured, and stands
as such)
phf:
as far
as i understand, the point is to walk with mp to his vantage point to see something or other. for example that the railroad runs from hitlertown to the work camps. pretty sure he'll just be delighted if you invited him to your own private railroad that goes from your living quarters to your wineries.
mircea_popescu: anyway, afaik hostaliases is standaerd on all linuxen, but it runs into problems with sanitation, for things that run
as root
mircea_popescu: i can if you wish pick a page of strings theory for you to transform into any other theoretical framweork of your choice. but might
as well take a page of source from gcc and write the lisp.
mircea_popescu: <phf> presumably mp disagrees with iverson's "notation
as a tool of thought" paper in principle << i do not. i do however disagree with the theory that tool is substitute sufficient.
ascii_butugychag:
as if using longhand made text somehow magically comprehensible to all and unpriestlike.

☟︎ trinque: and applies
as easily to C++ or any other hell
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: mno. you are, for instance, using irc client, which is not same
as telnet, isn't showing you (or making you manually type in) the PING and PONG, say
mircea_popescu: there shall not be any more. and sure
as fuck not infinity.
PeterL: I have had a reactor make a foof sound
as it lit fire, not a pleasant experience (and that was just a simple combustion of THF, nothing explosive)
mircea_popescu: but be that
as it may :
as the oathkeepers article derrided here yest nevertheless correctly points out: other people's problems,. to be resolved by those self-same other people.
mircea_popescu: i don't agree that brazil works
as an example for your purpose.
mircea_popescu: ironically... i believe if one were to add up the number of usg agent deaths
as evident from prosecution attempts, and then compare that figure with the number of usg agent deaths
as reported by the usg for various statistical purposes, a 10:1 difference wouldn't even be surprising.
ascii_butugychag: you can think of this idea
as a more fascist version of 'make'
ascii_butugychag: for so long
as the crud gets put there, you don't have deterministic build
