mircea_popescu: e millenary cultural tradition, when i'm expressing the exact same things expressed by
a similar guy on
a history half this tall ?
mircea_popescu: but it certainly puts some cold water on any progressive verbiage. "the people" of today are EXACTLY as smart as the people of forever. euclids, eulers, etceteras come and go, but the problems of reality REMAIN, and remain identically the same, irrespective of the "progress" at the top of the representational hierarchy. what does it help anyone or anything that i sit here and express this in context informed by
a three to fiv
mircea_popescu: that it so happens perfidious has
a lot of literary skirting putting it in its proper context, whereas the novel coinage "faithless" does not is kinda like permitting the gypos to change their name, or calling idiocy or "handicap" something else.
mircea_popescu: the funny bit in all of this is that very much yes, the latin "per-fides" much like "per-jury" and other constructions surviving to this day denotes quite literally, faithless, "with
a broken apparatus for the human behaviour commonly known as faith".
mircea_popescu: (incidentally, since nothing is explained anywhere anymore : the REASON iliterate folk singed as an X was that then they'd put their thumb on the fresh ink dropped in that pattern. it wasn't
a blank X.)
mircea_popescu: speaking of fingerprints, it's becoming
a latam tradition to require fingerprints with various paperwork. whole thing has
a very collapse-into-preliterate-times flavour to it
BingoBoingo: But the detail is less obscure when I am surrounded by them. Or maybe pessimissm is contagious. I disappoints me
a bit that I have yet to meet other immigrants interested in extermination talk yet.
mircea_popescu: needless to say never before was this insanity seriously contemplated, of having reality as
a subset of representation.
mircea_popescu: in any case, all to the last of the paralogic, cvasirational behaviours of the neet, the pantsuit, the modern man generally all come back to this exact problem, of misrepresenting ontology as
a subset of gnoseology, "things that exist are those among the things that are said which also had the 'exists' attribute set."
mircea_popescu: and obviously the driver of that is, "there's so much said, it's
a deluge already, even without considering anything else. so we're not gonna."
mircea_popescu: which is the deep problem we reference now and again with the "original penguin" stories. "nobody told me that the men with guns can very well kill me" is not the idle protestation of
a retard, but the desperate cry of
a broken mind that literally DOES NOT REALISE things that weren't on the spec sheet may indeed exist.
mircea_popescu: could readily argue that it's
a cognitive revolution on the level of the original "voices in head" multicameral mind, in impact, effects, whatever.
phf: that's also
a lot more generous than my "goddamn kids trying to force
a cult following out of
a turd"
mircea_popescu: whether one enjoys this or not is muchly
a case of mood, i suspect. there's nothing intrinsicly good or valuable about it, it's like pareidolia except not about faces, but about stories. if you see something in there, you brought the something you see from home.
mircea_popescu: oh, and you should see their lock knock system! it looks like
a converted sewing machine!
mircea_popescu: no but listen,
a revolver, right ? it revolves. how does it revolve ?
phf: you cut put
a silencer on
a small caliber subsonic rounds, and then you're going to get
a very satisfying "tink tink tink" sound, but that's not going to have any kind of stopping power.
mircea_popescu: but i mean... dat prison-made REVOLVER. with
a PERFECTLY WORKING SILENCER. all made out of common prisonhold materials.
phf: so bad, it's not even worth
a trilema review.
a byline in logs at most.
mircea_popescu: and on the old films front, "20`000 years in sing sing" is
a gnarly piece of nonsense about on there with "the room". except with spencer tracy playing the incomprehensible retard.
phf: was supposed to be btcbase/patches, like "patches" as
a not very descriptive name of the section where vpatches are stored
phf:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-06#1793785 << items predates melpa by many years. i suspect first serious item to rely on gnutls was GNUS, but initially integration was done by calling
a subprocess and piping things into it. gnutls (as well as dbus, libxml, imagemagick) as linked in library is
a more recent phenomenon
☝︎ mircea_popescu: honestly i'd propose taking the "Spellchecker" out altogether, but something tells me the hackery is not limited to that module. i guess make
a list of all the places they appear, see if it can all be excised or just replaced with better notation ?
mircea_popescu: hanbot : file -bi reports "text/x-diff; charset=us-ascii", which seems proper ; however awk -vFS="" '{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++)w[$i]++}END{for(i in w) print i,w[i]}' 'mp-wp_genesis.vpatch' spits out
http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/YQn0g/?raw=true which shows the problem -- you got
a buncha garbage single-occurence chars in there.
mircea_popescu: 6mb to get
a fucking blog cms going. oh epic world of bits...
☟︎ mircea_popescu: consider actual example : as i said at some point i bought used bmw. you might know or not, but these engines actually have
a GEARBOX for the fan aspirating air to cool the radiator. this particular engine's gearbox for the fan was shot, resulting in
a fan so weak you could stop it with finger (properly maintained, it's so strong as to snap
a finger off). therte's
a... special 2nd line fan system for this situation, and car w
mircea_popescu: you could have
a much simpler car, of course, but X would be proportionately larger. which is why no 1918 car can compete with modern cars in terms of say fuel economy.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this line is shakier ; i have seen good cars missing
a few % of the parts through locals' insane notions of maintenance, still running. "what were they for ?" well, it's like this : the cost for the car to run is X, built out of x1...xn costs to do various itemized portions of "to run". if cost xi is due to components Ci1...Cim, should Cij fail, its slack will probably be picked up by the rest (often, in some so
mircea_popescu: much like the kid who spent his preteen years sewing footballs for nike is never going to be
a great pianist.
a111: Logged on 2018-04-06 19:35 hanbot: latest in mp-wp saga: spyked's patch on vtools let me gpr build the phf's patcher and vdiff, latter of which made
a genesis, former of which dies on pressing wiff:
http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/2IVPp/?raw=true mircea_popescu: i never saw such
a patch (then again i am not
a major patch reader>)
mircea_popescu: the equivalent would be
a "very good compiler -- it either compiles or never finishes, so it can't be said it ever encountered an error. drop your compile error rate to 0% with our new technology".
mircea_popescu: it could be "one dood's blog", if rms could ever muster enough cogency to keep
a blog. but in fact, it's
a loose association of conference-goers. for the same money they could be
a "polyamory club" or w/e.
mircea_popescu: well, i guess we'll have to have
a terminology standard then. how about this : fsf = "
a little coven of pantsuit retards defined by loyalty to rms and no further characteristics", ie fsf is about on the level of importance of "starslatecodex" ; gnu = "symbol with no concrete reference, sometimes used as g- or gnu- prefix by marketeers exacly like the string 'super-'" ; open = "group of usg wreckers working on perpetuating the
mircea_popescu: moreover, there's exactly ZERO discussion of this anywhere. major, undeclared fork passing uncommented for what,
a decade ? is this the level of "rational" idiocy in these muppets ?
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-06#1793570 << lmao. because children imagine "being
a programmer" is having magical powers. somehow "being
a cook" doesn't come in their head with
a "food automatically makes itself around you", on the basis of direct experience with the mcdonalds fries counter. but "programmer" still means you magically intuit what the shit idiotic assumptions every mcdonalds employee baked into the "codebase".
☝︎ mircea_popescu: this bright okhrana idea resulted in
a very shot tsar.

a suckless spinoff
mircea_popescu: the way dept of state "think tanks" imagine creating "moderate rebel" leadership works is you have
a fake one to protect the real one like
a skirting.
mircea_popescu: "<Evil_Bob> C-Keen: read the fucking backlog, im not going to repeat myself" lol. perhaps the idea is that one's required to maintain connection as
a show of loyalty.
a soert of "mining" if you will.
mircea_popescu: eventually she was awake enough to remember ~she had put earplugs in~ because went to sleep while place still active, and ~that was why~ she couldn't hear
a word i was saying.

a manifesto right there at the top.
mircea_popescu: MDude things you've done is
a point of interest. places you've been... unless you have naked chicks in the streets of the czech republic / parks of buenos aires / dunes of egypt etc, no.

a pseudo-tmsr 'bitreich'.

a resurgence of sorts of gopher protocol, various hipsters spinning up personal websites, etc. whether the resurgence was shortlived or i'm just late to the game, but there's already
a community of wreckers (one of them groups is coming from this federated twitter platform, mastodon) discussing all the various ways that they want to "improve" gopher, tls, utf-8, markdown renderer, "minimal subset of html", etc. but at the same
MDude: Yeah, if that manages to go anywhwere, it'd be neat if making your own gopher browser and server would be
a part of it.
MDude: Anyway, I think there were
a few things I was thinking of for
a bit, one of them being gopher://vernunftzentrum.de/0/ckeen/ciy-manifesto.txt .
MDude: Hey, I'm
a police offic-*rining from my concealed earpiece:"SHIT, DAMNIT, HE'S TRYING TO TRICK YOU."*
gabriel_laddel: managed to kill
a x220 circuit board by swapping the screen to another, identical while machine was running. is this the sort of thing to 'fry' circuitry, and as
a general rule I suppose no life fire electronics around CPUs?
mircea_popescu: which exactly, so you can live from now on in the full serenity of knowing that it's perfectly possible you've been kissing my ass
a number of times to date. all the best."
