mircea_popescu: phf the "constraint" resultant strictly determines the item as a psychological rather than physical constructy.
asciilifeform: phf: there is also http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-05#1596880 ☝︎
asciilifeform: phf: i specced 'sub-50kusd machine in which one can live and NOT near scum', i dun care if boat, could be an orbital capsule if such existed.
asciilifeform: phf: if not open-ocean capable, it's rubbish, because fails at the elementary task of putting distance b/w operator and otherpeople
asciilifeform: phf: the old boat, he sold, it was an off-the-shelf item
asciilifeform: phf: he had, then, like idiot, got a wife
asciilifeform: umm phf these dun look like oceanic vessels
asciilifeform: phf: sails+livable ?
asciilifeform: phf: i can see what you mean, but i dunno that the problem (if you can call it one) is addressable. thing ain't 'friendly' any moar than a claymore mine is friendly.
asciilifeform: phf: wat, folx buy bare boardz all the time
mircea_popescu: phf definitely can get an electron microscope here.
asciilifeform: phf: funnily enough i dun have the infrastructure ~here~ either
trinque: phf: ftr, if ya stop the "now I think you're lying" when I'm an idiot, could shake your hand.
trinque: clearly so. and behold, phf and I can't seem to parse messages, probably both wondering what the fuck the other intends by the character
asciilifeform: old sigs WILL verify with current keys, mine, phf's, etc
asciilifeform: phf: and tmsr is a thorium molten salt reactor, dun forget.
asciilifeform: http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/QTnBx/?raw=true << mod6 , phf , ave1 , et al : most recent ffa
a111: Logged on 2017-05-19 19:23 phf: when i said mutations, i meant the iterative selection stuff. i don't know how well the seeds store, and if they don't, then there's not much of a point to the whole thing.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-19 19:12 phf: i think if not for an implicit whiny political message, it could've been a nifty long now project. if nothing else, a seed repository for museum purposes. it would be, for example, interesting to observe natural mutations that might take place from now till the vault is consulted
a111: Logged on 2017-05-19 19:08 phf: you'd think, in an engineering project, rather then a political one, an incident like that is a welcome opportunity to go back to drawing board and attempt to address the deficiencies of current design
asciilifeform: lol!! phf , that thing dun quite work
mircea_popescu: i have no idea about this whole thing! wut is it phf ?
mircea_popescu: phf the who ?
mircea_popescu: phf costa rica has a bird, does the EXACT FUCNING NOISE
asciilifeform: phf: can you strace ?
asciilifeform: i'ma guess that phf had ~another~ foo in his path
a111: Logged on 2017-05-17 13:43 phf: i guess that's aligned with the "we moved from SICP to python, because programming is no longer about writing code, but discovering libraries" that's periodically discussed in logs
a111: Logged on 2017-05-18 16:20 phf: i don't share the anti-postscript sentiment. i think it's a maxwell's equation of graphics programming. introduces idea of graphics state stack, with operations that happen inside state or in transition between state (e.g. "displace everything that i said so far by n pixels right") . pretty much all the graphics code (including for example opengl) is a variation on what postscript does. and most of the things postscript does simply doesn't make any sen
asciilifeform: phf: 1982 !
asciilifeform: phf: aha
mircea_popescu: phf let me formalize the statement here.
asciilifeform: phf: henderson's method, was, ultimately, 'the maxwell's equations of graphics'
mircea_popescu: phf how's what ? dude at some company was trying to print geodata.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-18 12:40 phf: i will probably get this wrong, but as far as i understand, here houses are sold any arbitrary number above list, and it's whatever seller can get away with
a111: Logged on 2017-05-18 12:36 phf: i moved into a new place closer to the lizards, had a funny exchange in the lobby. this lady "got lucky" and "bought a house at list price" because apparently "everyone's scared because of the upcoming impeachment".
asciilifeform: phf ^
a111: Logged on 2017-05-18 12:28 phf: i think the word chip is ruined for marketing purposes by clipper

a111: Logged on 2015-08-29 19:40 phf: but if the argument is really reduced to воры/суки then guys above are idiots, because иван иванычи and have all the intelligentsia deficiencies
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2015-08-29#1255852 <<< phf 's verbiage endures time well. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-05-17 14:05 phf: also doesn't leverage the competitive advantage of google. massive datasets, crowdsourced solutions (hire all the developers, hope something works!1)
a111: Logged on 2017-05-17 14:03 phf: there's an earlier talk he made, maybe 10 years ago, where he basically said "we used to do all these analytical algorithms to AI, but turns out you don't need none of that, because we have massive datasets instead."
a111: Logged on 2017-05-17 13:53 phf: i doubt there's going to be one, the talk was made at lispnyc, but is otherwise very thin on lisp. ("LISP had exploratory programming, and we need exploratory programming, therefore, you lispers, go and ugh do things!1") i doubt there's any interest to transcribe it.

a111: Logged on 2017-05-17 13:28 phf: “What was it like to self-learn programming before Stack Overflow? (2016) (quora.com)”
asciilifeform: phf: same norvig who wrote ai textbook with 0 lisp
diana_coman: phf, the sad reality is that "school" nowadays *teaches* kids stack overflow/monkey copy/paste/ you-can-program-without-knowing-maths as "the way to learn"

mircea_popescu: phf` suppose this morning you have to read l'histoire de mademoiselle cronel ditte fretilon. because whatever, as part of your plurious activities you're helping a girl get a place off the ground and being a serious agent you scoop the quarries of truth quite that deep. what now ?
a111: Logged on 2017-05-14 14:09 phf`: that article was inoffensive, but sloppy. some offhand points i think required elaboration (i.e. missing republican footnotes!), others were superfluous
a111: Logged on 2017-05-14 14:13 phf`: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-11#1654941 << so i got a replacement copy, in it's in even worse state than the first one! this one the entire lower edge is butchered during cutting. automated self-publishing ftw
a111: Logged on 2017-05-11 21:24 phf`: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-10#1653984 << so i got a copy, mine had a mechanical looking gash in the spine, had to send it for replacement. otherwise it's not horrible. it's a cheap thermal binding, but the paper is crisp, and the source is TeX so it looks reasonable.
asciilifeform: phf`: which one
mircea_popescu: phf` fwiw styles is actually right. arguaby chavery is a genre.
mircea_popescu: phf` your evidently good taste ensures you'll make friends fast in bucharest! bamboo awaits you!
mircea_popescu: phf` tbh, there are two items very popular in mp household. 1 is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-unZ6sUEio the other's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ulinu-_FYc
BingoBoingo: phf`: ty
asciilifeform: phf`: laser cutter is absolute champ in this regard. 'smells like fireplace, like home!' and then somebody puts in plastic sheet...
mircea_popescu: phf` is there a ru equiv of the "ciorba de spalatoare" ro concept ? dishcloth borscht ?
mircea_popescu: phf` not that little known, spent half hour trying to syncronize watches with uk resident engineers coupla weeks back
a111: Logged on 2017-05-10 11:37 shinohai: Nifty phf, I kinda want a copy myself now.
asciilifeform: ( asciilifeform wrote a mips in school and i bet phf also did )
mircea_popescu: phf` go to moscow, incorporate, hire a coupla hookers at the moscow uni, pref 2nd/3rd year, send one to baikal once you're done fucking them ?
asciilifeform: incidentally iirc phf` had a phriend with access to subj
mircea_popescu: phf` this is true ; but the way he got there was through saying all sorts of weird/taboo things over 30 or so years.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-10 14:36 phf`: i'm pretty sure wp arbitrarily mungles posts/comments on render. that's why mircea_popescu's wp version has a special hack that wraps gpg data in a pre and ensures that wp doesn't touch it in any way
mircea_popescu: phf` why do you think sex doll ? common female also can get clit shield / urethra buzzer installed.
mircea_popescu: aha, phf` has it
phf`: welcome back to another round of "we trying to put TEXT into a TEXTBOX" with your host phf
shinohai: Nifty phf, I kinda want a copy myself now. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: anyway. this phf` - enabled short survey through the us penitentiary culture leaves me unimpressed. not much of a culture, is it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's in phf's search.
mircea_popescu: phf` discorsi da letto, no more.
mircea_popescu: phf` seems you have an interest in the item ?
a111: Logged on 2017-05-08 21:22 phf`: ct it would've happened already
a111: Logged on 2017-05-08 21:09 phf`: i think that traditionally would be called pogrom, rather than genocide. problem is that unlike jews, coptics, parsi, etc. american blacks don't have a culture to fallback to, and their persecution narrative is artificially constructed, so they just fall back. there's not going to be a tzadik in projects, unmovable, because torah told him to suffer
a111: Logged on 2017-05-08 20:59 phf`: i thin genocide in this case is not the literal lynching, but rather the systematic removal of agency under the guise of help and support, aka "useful idiots"
asciilifeform: phf`: this'd likewise describe ~all of 'white' world at this point.
BingoBoingo: ^ phf, no literal systemic eradication
a111: Logged on 2017-05-08 20:59 phf`: i thin genocide in this case is not the literal lynching, but rather the systematic removal of agency under the guise of help and support, aka "useful idiots"
asciilifeform: phf`: i dun see any respectable alternative to fuhrerprinzip.
mircea_popescu: phf` 1001 nights is all about that yes ?
asciilifeform: phf`: fuhrerprinzip!111
asciilifeform: phf`: endurance hunter, lol
asciilifeform: btw anybody other than phf` and mod6 built the example from earlier ?
a111: Logged on 2017-05-08 10:52 phf`: they were permanent residents of european hackerspaces, and if they did ~anything~ it would've been some kind of experimental "art"
a111: Logged on 2017-05-08 10:04 phf`: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-08#1652797 << i don't get it. i'd say i could get rid of about 20% of my books, but the rest i read or consult regularly. i had the bulk of my books in storage last year, and it was inconvenient (unlike say clothes or random "useful" junk that i have, that, once it goes into storage i don't even remember i had)
a111: Logged on 2017-05-08 09:57 phf`: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-08#1652831 << i thought those are mostly standard, but i take it your girls line dry after? because centrifuge doesn't get it dry dry

Framedragger: phf`: ah ok that makes sense. i checked bob black (lols), yeah gotcha. lulzy re "art"
a111: Logged on 2017-05-07 23:25 phf`: from where i stand, same people who supported pim fortuyn and theo van gogh, i.e. anarchists, leftists, etc. 15 years later are supporting multicultural europe and nodick values. etc.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-07 22:41 phf`: give it another 6 months before "puerto ricans are unfit for living"
a111: Logged on 2017-05-07 22:34 phf`: move to boingboinglandia, have space for electron microscope also
a111: Logged on 2017-05-07 11:27 phf`: cmu is replacing cyrus with "google suite" https://www.cmu.edu/computing/email/cyrus/project "an effort to provide modern (c)(r)(tm)(!!1), industry standard, cost-effective email and calendar solutions"
a111: Logged on 2017-04-05 18:13 phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-05#1638105 << dumping dom is not hard (it's innerhtml attribute on document.body/head), extracting images/objects is harder. used to be able to do it using canvas, but not there's security provisions. you literally have to go into the browser's cache (via internal apis) to got the graphic, etc. back. or else redownload, which is rife with potential issues
a111: Logged on 2017-04-05 17:34 phf: Framedragger: yes, archive.is is a headless webkit. it loads the page with all the resources, it lets the javascript run until the DOM is in some "final" state, it snapshots the DOM. at this point you no longer need javascript to further render page
