pete_dushenski: ben
_vulpes: that conclusion only lives here, ie. between the lines.
ben_vulpes: pete
_dushenski: and somehow the conclusion that "most humans are barely over the cognitive threshold of a farm animal" never presents itself
pete_dushenski: ben
_vulpes: you could surely get a deal on a dirty, beat-to-shit g-wagen. from what i hear they're not cheap to maintain
ben_vulpes: mircea
_popescu: aight, i'll see about this eval-ing of text from mp-supplied urls

_popescu: user ssh's into server, opens running emacs with `emacsclient -nw`

_vulpes so basically emacs telnets into the server or wut ?
ben_vulpes: pete
_dushenski: what i really want is a transmission that directs all power to the spinning wheel. it's spinning, that's how you know it's the one that needs the power!
pete_dushenski: ben
_vulpes: beeping and flashing orange dash light every time traction control activates, which in rwd car with 275 rear section tires on freshly snowed roads is... constant.
pete_dushenski: mircea
_popescu: glad you liked the piece! always happy to elucidate the strange in the four-wheeled world. but what's the 'c*' thing ?
pete_dushenski: ben

_popescu: much like if a boy's mating strategy consists of seeking out the places where no other boys go and waiting for girls to straggle in.

_vulpes: i don't know what sort of apology is due here as clearly nobody has ever even tried to apply those patches through a strict v, but i'm still going to go slam my head in a door until i get some of the stupid out
mircea_popescu: diana
_coman similarily, the life of the sane programmer is pretty unhappy. by comparison, java-machining-dotnet-etcetera dorks are very fucking happy, going from conference to conference to tell each other how fucking delicious the catered rubber chicken is, and how the 3 bedroom 1 bathroom atrocity is totally worth 1.3mn
diana_coman: mircea
_popescu, it sounds to me that their unhappiness comes from their own expectation that they are so very best, not from their master's expectations really; if it were from those, then *all* slavegirls would be just as unhappy
a111: Logged on 2017-01-09 10:18 diana
_coman: well, I don't really think someone can live a very unhappy life due to *others'* expectations; at most due to his/her own

_coman: Framedragger, there is sex and there is gender; in other words, an individual woman can be more of a man than a specific, given man and the other way around;

_vulpes: best i have is that woman adapts and survives and man dies broken, fighting to the last breath

_vulpes: it's not that women can't be cowards but that cowards (unqualified) are men.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-09 09:34 ben
_vulpes: Framedragger: which reminds me of a thought perhaps mircea
_popescu can make better use of than i, given how it's been evading my grasp: why is it that you can have brave men and brave women, but cowards are all men?

_vulpes: papercrete!
mircea_popescu: dude this piece is beautiful. tyvm pete

_dushenski, howdja make it?
a111: Logged on 2017-01-09 06:26 ben
_vulpes: (do people mute highlights from a111 ?)
a111: Logged on 2017-01-09 06:21 ben
_vulpes: i think you'd get significant mileage out of it, but the cognitive overhead would probably enrage you.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-09 05:45 ben
_vulpes: this is perhaps the one instance in the history of the world where the software schelling point might actually migrate /away/ from complexity.
Framedragger: diana
_coman: i see what you mean. at the end of the day if one cannot carve out existence on their own terms, they are doomed either way - this much i agree with. (also, i didn't really have a fleshed out point, thanks for clarifying things for me)
ben_vulpes: Framedragger: which reminds me of a thought perhaps mircea

_vulpes: i don't, useful for when you're answered to
a111: Logged on 2017-01-07 18:04 mircea
_popescu: ah. the way i was thinking this'd work would be : the bot answers to any lines where its name is mentioned ; and i can update its "brain" with a !^ url style command. whereby it replaces its "ai" code with the content of the file.
davout: mircea
_popescu: not sure the blocks need to be mined in succession
BingoBoingo: ben
_vulpes: Because rain noise you'll probably want some sort of roof above the steel

ben_vulpes: mircea
_popescu: neglects the cost of turning brick into structural frames and walls

_p: adlai: well it seems I can't have you do what I had in mind. Could you instead please review

_popescu: phf any idea on how to replicate Framedragger 's logger multiline selection thing without the hassle ? maybe something like "first click, highlights line ; second click, highlights area ; third click, highlights line within area" or such ?

a111: Logged on 2017-01-08 15:20 mircea
_popescu: Framedragger how about adding a · in between timestamp and speaker, so that timestamp is still lined as now, but the dot is linked to make range ?
a111: Logged on 2017-01-08 07:59 ben
_vulpes: so duh, vdiff does not guarantee patches will be sensible in a v tree, and it is incumbent upon a patch-grinder to ensure their patches actually apply cleanly.
mircea_popescu: in an attempt to fix/improve republican infrastructure, mircea
_popescu discovered his head is broken.

_popescu: and i must be able to figure out the state by looking at the url, which is why POST is not better than GET but much, MUCH worse, and why it was pushed as part of "ssl", typical usg-tardism
Framedragger: mircea
_popescu: so you mean that if one were to click on a line which falls in a previously-selected range (of highlighted lines), the anchor would be adjusted but the overall highlight range would be preserved, too?

_popescu: and the other thing : that entire "it is unclear whether people aiming to make an artificial friend have seriously considered the much cheaper, ordinary kind" which i can't fucking find in the log for some reason goes A LOT deeper than generally realised. it's not "oh, i'm not discussing ai so it's not about me". yes, IT IS about you. if the software you're contemplating aims to take fifty hours of engineer work to replace fi

_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-09-2015#1285635 << exactly the wrong kind of fucking ai. a) not actually intelligent ; b) negative - the last thing i fucking want to see is mechanically powered women nagging ; c) not self contained - at least the stupid nag you can beat into the ground.

_dushenski: have you ever wanted your car to list off a bunch of facts scraped from the web when you cross into a new jurisdiction?
pete_dushenski: could i think of better ways to spend ? $125k or whatever a gt4 is ? sure. but /me can still barely fathom whether gabriel
