mircea_popescu: the
text follows
the conflict between
the progressives (hey, whatever it costs, worth doing) and
the conservatives (keep your damned ringworms off our famr!)
mircea_popescu: but i got an idea of a graphic novel, suddeenly : in
this crapsack world in which
the implementation of
the "jews eating babies"/"white slavers" moral panic / fetish is actual farms
to literally produce baby viande as per
the modest proposal, it is discovered
that ringworm infection of
the abdomen in 2nd
trimester females results in
tastier, if very strangely diformed veal.
☟︎ phf: ben_vulpes: i've seen fmt like
tricks used all over
the place
to do for example date formatting, e.g. (year #\- month #\- day), but
the previous sexp is compiled
to either format or directly
to princ's. unless your domain is
text formatting, it makes little sense
to have an intermediate form.
mircea_popescu: shape's wrong, mechanical failures are wrong,
the whole
thing looks digital.
phf: ben_vulpes: i don't
think fmt is a horrible idea, but it (and similar packages like iterate) would've been great if
they were part of
the standard. as it stands
they get you some elegance at
the expense of being an idiosyncratic external dependency. you still have
to learn format and loop, but once you do, you start
thinking
twice about replacing
them with something marginally better.
mircea_popescu: somehow
the women
their mother's generation did not have
this problem. it ... sprung out of
the void, around 1970 or so.
mircea_popescu: until i beat
the shit of her every
time she didn't do math properly ?
mircea_popescu: you knew who else grew (for whatever reason) with a complete atrophy of
the part of
the brain
that does "that math-y stuff"
trinque: sure but go back x years and
that's writing letters or what have you
trinque: probably every other
time I go spelunking for information on lisp machines
trinque: asciilifeform: I run into places you've interfaced with strangers all over
the net.
mircea_popescu: that you readily see
the "cpu in cpu"
thing for what it is, yet you';d allow
THE SAME PEOPLE do
THE SAME
THING
to your own brain.
mircea_popescu: it earned it, on its own merits, as part of
the whole construction's history. it's
there and you honor it.
mircea_popescu: the actual life of
the mind as a
thing is of
the mind, not of a butchered brain.
mircea_popescu: "i have decided
that only
the upper
third of
the mandelbrot set is of interest. WHY DOES
THE REST KEEP RECURRING WE HAD AN AGREEMENT!!1"
mircea_popescu: tel lyou what :
the weird make it,
the brave
take it from
them, and
the smart
take it from
the brave.
true in
the "empire building" us west as well as in lublianka.
mircea_popescu: again you do not get
to say what parts of brain are irrelevant.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, you musta been readoing a different www, half of mine's with and about whores, criminals and
the insane.
mircea_popescu: for
that matter what do you
think you are,
tchaykowsky ?
mircea_popescu: dark alley is life of
the mind alright.
the first. still
the best.
mircea_popescu: and you don't get
to declare what parts of reality are irrelevant.

to not
think anything of
the mathematician
that doesn't know how his fridge works. "oh he's specialised" fuck you. "but
this is how we do it here!" yeah,
this is how i do you in
the ass.

the problem with
this approach is
that you also don't agree with
the
theory
that
the deer is less
than
the fox. fine, don't agree :
the fox eats
the deer nevertheless. your options are either a)
to not share an environment, in which case your failures are not fit-reducing or b)
to grow uniformly.
assbot: Logged on 27-10-2015 16:43:36; mircea_popescu: but
this counted as valid science for decades in hundreds of convictions.
assbot: Logged on 27-10-2015 16:35:25; mats: it is p easy
to wax poetic about
the state of computing, but, folks run nix until
they don't and nonetheless need
to raise
the cost for attackers
trinque: the eternal september was already out
there;
the whole
thing was
the ignorant masses raiding
the internet from "out
there"
thestringpuller: i was more referring
to how people say memes in real life, i.e: "not bad dot jpeg";
the reddit eternal september is like an infection
thestringpuller: the most visible manifestation of
the eternal september irl
mircea_popescu: to put it in vernacular
terms, quod

te nutrit
te destructit.
mircea_popescu: there exists in
this world a woman whose actual experience of a first date with me includes
this part where she was
taken
to a dark alley in a completely new
town, made
to strip and well... no, rape didn't ensue. she jsut got a crack on
the butt.

there's, say, plenty of hungarian "aristocracy"
that were patrons of nothing
mircea_popescu: "but he just wanted email
to work" no, srsly, fuck you.

☟︎ assbot: Logged on 27-10-2015 16:09:38; asciilifeform: i don't subscribe
to
the cosmography where
the hoodlum is 'the better' and
the concert violinist walking
through
the alley is 'a loser' because... because why, he oughtn't have such a soft skull? if he 'were anybody' he could afford a security detail? because why ?

they want money ~they better go work for him~.
assbot: Logged on 27-10-2015 16:08:40; asciilifeform: just like a hoodlum who gets
the drop on you in a dark alley, cracking your skull with a lead pipe, is not 'your better' on account of it

there's a problem here. of
the original set of hoodlums, meyer lansky actually survived,
to die in
the 80s in florida like any serious jew from beyond
the pale. most memorable about him is
the anecdote
that when about 9 was
trying
to run a numbers racket with some friends, and when
the older boys
tried
to muscle in, as older boys are supposed
to, he demured. "yo
☝︎ mircea_popescu: phillipe equality was aristocracy. lavoisier & co were
the newly rich.
assbot: Logged on 27-10-2015 16:05:39; asciilifeform: i was sad, as a boy, reading about how lavoisier, father of modern chemistry, met
the guillotine
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-10-2015#1308917 << dude. "de" lavoisier was exactly
the opposite of aristocracy, more in
the vein of donald
trump. he inherited
the fortune of a ferme generale entrepreneur (tax scam
the french copied from
the romans - guaranteed
to make one crassus-rich. sort of at-the-time equivalent of "real estate development") and married
the scion of
the same.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: "The physical chip was designed by Mykotronx (USA) and manufactured by VLSI
Technology Inc. (USA).
The initial cost for an unprogrammed chip was $16 and a programmed one costed $26."
mats: I'm not sure you see how
tiresome it is
to rehash
the discussion as follows -- 'gtfo off leaky ship already', 'am in middle of atlantic', 'so swim
to island (without provisions)', 'then get on a ship without holes', 'there are none on horizon', 'getting on
that ship in
the first place is a problem of a logical class', 'yes, but... am here'
mircea_popescu: if after going
to all
that fucking
trouble and obtaining
that much actual superiority
the people for whom i supposedly did it behave like fucking
teenagers i would actually go
to
their house and feed
them
their children in cooked parts.
mircea_popescu: it's enough
to drive one stack. im surprise not more usg-kgb folks go on murder rampages. i know i would.
