mircea_popescu:
as yhou're not the boss it is not your job to make that call.
mircea_popescu: PeterL anyway, dunno how close you are to management / how tolerant of redditards your strategy is, but - you could even be proactive about it. register on whatever social medias they frequent
as "the lab", do some testing even on your own dime at first to establish rep,
jurov: "Others report that programs like CPU-Z, AMD Catalyst Control Center or CPUID were removed
as well during the upgrade."
trinque: I've fine-tuned gentoo on both this and a macbook pro previously,
as perhaps some kind of pain fetish
mircea_popescu: so the box you'd buy is putative,
as you didn't buy it, and
as far
as the rest of the quoted is concerned ima go on a limb and guess thye had other reasons.
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: Well, you could work your way up starting with an apple newton, and maybe someday achive an IBM
AS/400 ans still further in the future a system/360 "box"
BingoBoingo: Ah,"Thus, when you pray in the squat rack, sound no trumpet before you,
as the hypocrites do in the Smith machines and on the ellipticals, that they may be praised by others. For they work for false gains of false praise." - Masshuge 6:2
mod6: i actually have a v-genesis.vpatch for this new v99997 version
as well.
pete_dushenski: "Coley is quoted in police documents
as saying “You bumbaclot Muslim,” a phrase containing a Jamaican expletive. “I’m going to burn your Muslim temple down,” he added, before spitting on the woman several times."
pete_dushenski: "If you're blown away by the idea that fewer than 100 people control
as much wealth
as half the world today, imagine how concentrated money used to be." << lol and will be.
ascii_field: 'Before hitting the trucks, the American forces dropped leaflets warning that an attack was coming, and
as truck drivers are deemed to be non-combatants, they were told to "get out of your trucks now and run away from them" before the airstrikes hit.'
adlai: mircea_popescu: dunno, does recombinatory fucking count
as prior art?
adlai: << And according to Stavri – whose Twitter name is Another Angry Woman – she just wanted to see if it would work, because it “might
as well make itself useful.” >>
pete_dushenski: "Harvard economist Dani Rodrik, who began compiling data on manufacturing world-wide a few years ago, says he is seeing growing evidence of what he calls “premature deindustrialization”—the idling or shrinking of manufacturing sectors
as a share of the economy in poor countries like India that never industrialized very much in the first place." << in other not-nyooz where idjits with 'pc' blinders don't want to
pete_dushenski: "The team trades securities to keep rates in line with Fed policy decisions. At 12:45 p.m., a window pops open on a system called FedTrade and plays a sequence of musical notes—F-E-D—to open trading, traders said. A clock counts down the remaining time, turning from green to yellow in the final three minutes and then to red
as the last 30 seconds tick off. The music plays again when the operations’ results are

as it is now i dont have any obligation to keep it running, if one day i wake up and have enough i can just shut it down singlehandedly - if listed anywhere, this changes
punkman:
as long
as it's not red mercury
jurov: dunno really, how i could look better. even the hair refuses to fall out
as much
as predicted
phf: (experience of The Combine
as a palpable thing for example, during his pranksters period turned into attempts at active manipulation of others, i.e. The Consensus, through Control, which pranksters called "putting them into our movie". if you can put them into our movie, you can make them read our lines. etc.)
punkman: thestringpuller: adlai: didn't that happen with fight club
as well? << I thought epilogue of the book was better than movie ending
mircea_popescu: the film does a better job of this
as a film than the book does a job of it
as a book. arguably this is because film has less space to do it in ; countrariwise, film is more of a "tower of babel" sort of artifice, so it's harder to get anything done.
mircea_popescu: imo this is one of those situations where the better movie makes the book its bitch. yes the book is longer and goes into more detail,
as a book has space to do. but this is a twin edged sword
adlai: the movie is good, very good. but
as long
as the book's around, it'll only be second best
mircea_popescu: it's a reasonable condition. iirc the bitbet thing was a straight meeting of the minds, i wasn't going to do it with anyone else
as treasurer anyway.

☟︎ BingoBoingo: I mean enough US gears is in ISIS hands Russia had to assume the US infared IFF market meant ISIS had taken that warship
as loot
BingoBoingo: That bullshit pushed
as us business pseudo-ethics
mircea_popescu: punkman if it doesn't get up
as much
as before for a few weeks the effect's supposed to go away.
assbot: Logged on 24-11-2015 08:47:46; mircea_popescu: makes 0 sense. to be paid 500k when you die, even starting
as a 20yo man you'd have to do at least 500 bucks a month in premiums.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> makes 0 sense. to be paid 500k when you die, even starting
as a 20yo man you'd have to do at least 500 bucks a month in premiums. << Such deal are typically "term" policies expiring in 5 years
mircea_popescu: makes 0 sense. to be paid 500k when you die, even starting
as a 20yo man you'd have to do at least 500 bucks a month in premiums.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski you will note that the thing discussed in my article was health insurance, which is a contingency sort of deal. life "insurance" has nothing to do with this,
as everyone dies.
as practiced it is moreover a sort of heavily discounted investment plan\
pete_dushenski: and
as if any sum of money is going to replace me. ha !
pete_dushenski: "If you make it half a million you just happen to be at the cusp of what the scum perceives
as "Oprah rich" and they just almost kinda go for it," << coinkidink of coinkidinks, the token insurance salesman in my choir has recently set his eyes on me and yesterday pitched me EXACTLY 500k of life insurance coverage in exchange for $25/mo.
assbot: Logged on 05-07-2015 21:33:29; kakobrekla: right now there are more urgent things on the plate, once api is working
as id like we can do something like dat. until then you can run the platform with wine.
mircea_popescu: this figures way higher than "oh, president bahamas of london 1715 - what do you mean he didn't exist, not like he's a recent invention dun be racist! - forced companies to pay more in wages which is why manna fell from the heaven
as it certainly will now!!1"
pete_dushenski: more likely : your ancestors lived off the table scraps of the adventurers and businessmen, then
as now.
pete_dushenski: well 'hudson's bay co did this' and 'east india company did that' is pretty much
as far
as the minds of american tv watchers go.
mircea_popescu: gotta be "companies",
as if such a thing even existed in any sense any recent derp would be familiar with.
pete_dushenski:
as long
as she doesn't twitch and break the table, so nothing.
trinque: "The mafia has a bad reputation, but much of that's undeserved," says Gambino, who moved to Brooklyn in 1988. "
As with everything in life, there are good, bad and ugly parts – the rise of global terrorism gives the mafia a chance to show its good side."
pete_dushenski: and for the unawares, Stevan Jovanovich using 'rogers' email indicates that he's a client of the country's largest telco, and that if his comment's place and content weren't sufficiently informative
as to his demographic placement, he's almost certainly in his 50's.
mircea_popescu: this is an interesting problem to have. one edge of it could be readily dismissed
as "well obviously if you can't write so instead of writing you substitute copywriting
as per
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-11-2015#1330345 & all, imonlydoingmyjob bla bla you will be predictable, after all copywriting is designed to work much like computer codewriting : others gotta be able to pick up your job once you quit"
☝︎ mircea_popescu:
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WildMassGuessing << this is pretty interesting. the idea being, and i cite, "The trope has also become increasingly important in more traditional fiction
as of late because the Internet's technological revolution is such that an author's "twists" could easily be predicted ahead of time if enough clever fans put their heads together and talk things over. (And over.) "
mod6: i did check
as recently
as yesterday and it was fully sync'd.
phf: it seems like people use cffi
as a trivial-ffi compatability layer, which mostly just gives you least common denominator ffi (it was a pain to work with after cmucl's native alien facilities)
mircea_popescu: it all depends what it's for. i add shit to every joke
as a matter of course.
mircea_popescu: One choice the writer has is to go ahead and show the supposed "ability". But if they don't do the research, this leads to such laughable characters
as the scientist who spouts Hollywood Science, the tactician who comes up with the sort of tactics a five-year-old would think of and the "genius" who is only a genius because they're the only one coming up with any plan at all, and everyone else is downright stupid. Lack
mircea_popescu: but
as that only goes so far, also by insisting that "this is everything" and that "being told off is mean"
mircea_popescu: could be "Mr. Michael Stute Co-founded Global DataGuard, Inc., in 2000 and serves
as its Chief Technology Officer. Mr. Stute has over 13 years of experience in IT", in which case...
kakobrekla: so i google 'google parking lot' and get 'Google employee lives in a truck in the parking lot '
as first hit.
mircea_popescu: <kakobrekla>
as it stands now, all ''german manufacturers' are using 'us tech' and no 'us tech firm' is using a 'german manufacturer' << you ever looked in the parking lot of these "tech giants" ?
kakobrekla:

jurov:
as long
as all the values take their primary keys with them, you're fine
trinque: the usefulness of this declarative mode is I think
as you describe, "get me a that" damn it, because I want one.
trinque: this magic is why (
as I understand it) asciilifeform abhors the thing; you have in no way been involved with what steps will be taken to compute the result other than describing the result itself, barring again, the places where actual programming crept back in
mircea_popescu: and honestly i don't mind it so much. about the same
as my life generally, really.
trinque: kakobrekla: it is amusing though, yes, that this that was originally intended to be a user interface got buried
as it did
mircea_popescu:
as far
as her dumb ass is concerned, the best possible train is a ghetto blaster with the volume welded to low, playing christmas carrols from under the mirrors-ensconced speakers.
assbot: Logged on 22-11-2015 16:23:54; mircea_popescu: i dunno why the fuck this point is so unobvious, but : most of the intellectual gains humanity has made came after it decided to do what science always does : arbitrarily clamp down on complexity in one place to use this
as leverage against complexity elsewhere.
jurov: you explicitly named the place
as "use these letters and fuck you and your ugly mother."

☟︎ mircea_popescu: (there's a very good reason they keep going on with cow and dog are animal. there was a great paper in the log about "you know what, just change your chosen names to hashes, see if teh system appears to be doing
as much "understanding"
as it did before.)
mircea_popescu: phf the problem with the village of ugly women is that well, there's probably something wrong with the water. yes the people now involved may be subpar for whatever reason or explanation to do with them. maybe. or maybe THIS offshot of the hope to ai is just
as rotten
as the rest of the various attempts to ai that preceded it.
phf: it's actually from latin caesura, which is now used
as the name of pause in a poem. i thought caesarean section comes from that, but wikipedia article has a very confusing "etymology" section so i don't even know what to believe anymore!
phf: a lot of "expected" oop behaviors like objects owning methods, synchronous bidirectional messaging that is equivalent to a procedure call, extreme early binding, etc. are artifacts of implementation and optimization strategies,
as such they don't have meaning, don't have "real world" correspondence and just are. building taxonomies on such a shaky theoretical foundation results in a very messy thinking
mircea_popescu: "i'm writing a book
as a fallback plan in case i go broke". 14 yo.
linton_s_dawson: indeed. the community must consist of "true believers"
as well, i guess, since external factors can easily screw things up. like, if 1 btc buys 5 apples in my community but 1000 apples in the outer world.
mircea_popescu: in general the supply side is going to be "
as many btc
as that community can get hands on" and the demand side will be "all the goods and services it wants to trade".
