mircea_popescu: this was for orcs contemplating saying "yes"
to
the questions
that may only be answered with
the orlov niet.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo no,
that's for zeks imagining
themselves "inside
the system".
mircea_popescu: but i mean at
the ~onset~. by
the
time nixon was involved no such
thing as meaningful red spoke publicly.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the last
time
that distinction might've
translated a meaningful difference was literally at
the ONSET of vietnam war, opposing a very rudimentary "act from causes vs act for effects" dilemma.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo no,
this is
the "manalone dies like he deserves
to die, and like all will die"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
this is a distinction without a difference.
mircea_popescu: btw, anyone recall where
that
trilema article is, which literally says, "if you believe what usg lies
to you, you'll end up in impossible committments which
they WILL NOT help you pay for.
they'll just withdraw leaving you hanging." ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "sent
to die" gimme a break, whole premise of iraq was "nobody dies, nobody even walks
the ground. we all sit in mcdonalds and do munch"
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo it's a
tenous argument
that such a
thing as "red" even during vietnam era. which is you know, half century wtf.
BingoBoingo: And
the Syria situation where NATO member
Turkey's allies do not overlap with NATO member USG's allies
mircea_popescu: the warnings
to any orcs
thinking of following usg.blue's nonsense do pile on :
they'll leave you high and dry, yo! wake up an'
smell the coffee.
BingoBoingo: The USG defense industry marketers have been getting right fucked by
the
Turks since
they decided
Turkey was good enough
to make new
things, but not buy old
things
mircea_popescu: the problem being, of course, usg.blue
then gets caught with pants down regularly, and well, such lulz ensue. "you want us
to help you save your nukes now ? suck on
this cock, dorks."
BingoBoingo: And
Turkey being supplier of certain F-35 part for euro markets
BingoBoingo: Then
there's
the whole S-400 versus Patriot Missile air defense decision
the USG forced on
Turkey and is still
trying
to do
take backsies on.
mircea_popescu: Remarks have been made by
the
Turkish President Erdogan
that I consider highly offensive
to Australians, and highly reckless in
this very sensitive environment, Mr Morrison said.
mircea_popescu: there's
this fundamental self-hatred at
the basis of "decisions"
the schmucky whitebois
take. "i shouldn't do well".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so
the eu can fail rather
than
thrive.
they were "contending for
the faith", see.
mircea_popescu: somehow, magically, i don't expect any "democratic decision factors" being hanged, or even as much as confronted (let alone
admitting)
their strict liability for
this result.
BingoBoingo: ^ Brenton
Tarrant, very effective
Turkish Nationalist
mircea_popescu: ie, it's a major abstractive
tool -- consider only how it structured "interesting" above.
mircea_popescu: act~ definition of interesting ; concrete definitions are
things like "write a
tape
to do rsa with".)
mircea_popescu: yes, but consider : as a counterpart of
the "gnalr contest", which imo is not
that bad of an idea even if it flows necessarily from
the ~nature~ of
the substrate, "only intellectually challenging
thing
to do in c++ is gnarl, much like only
thing
to do with mud is mess", one could also resurrect ye olde game of life (remember
the mike_c project ?). construct say
the
tape
that has
the most interesting downstream (by some ~abstr
mircea_popescu: honestly i don't
think we've even scratched
the surface of what
this
thing can do.
mircea_popescu had
this prepared in his notes, "and
then he'll implement jumps, at which point dilemma : either all instructions are single byte, or else all instructions carry double meaning, from whence discussion of ambiguity in language etc".
mircea_popescu: this is a lot like saying "every knight is welcome
to
try and
tournament".
mircea_popescu: yeah, but
that doesn't mean anything in context --
there's a "nimblest dancer" at
the retirement home, also.

that I'm hosting (e.g.
thetarpit) will be down

this might cause.
diana_coman: hm,
the end
there got clipped; I meant: I'll keep both domains and have redirects in place so all links with either domain work anyway.
diana_coman:
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-03-19#1903447 -> both work and will work; when I started,
the only name I could say I won't change was my own, hence dianacoman.com; in
time I found a name for
the blog
too (took a few detours) and
that's ossasepia hence ossasepia.com; but I don't expect anyone
to go
through any
trouble and have
to change
their links either way; I suppose strictly speaking
the blog is ossasepia.com so
that'd be
the cannonical but I'll
☝︎ mircea_popescu: remarkably how little press
these guys get, considering how much
traffic
they buy.
shinohai was given ~$100 worth
that was immediately
traded for BTC on cryptopia
shinohai: lol I
thought VERGE got rekt already. (Got added
to pr0n sites, no one bothered
to use)
mircea_popescu: in other quite abstract lulz :
there apparently exists a "cryptocurrency payment processor" (aka,
https://probiller.com/ )
that
takes one of "Horizen", "Tron" or "VERGE".
mod6: I gotta step away for now, but I appreciate it. We'll keep discussing
this stuff. Maybe
that's 50% of my problem, not enough chats.
mod6: Anyway, it's not done being shaved just yet. But I'm getting
there. So
that's what I've been doing last few days.
mod6: Which,
to
trinque's point,
the
tool
that really helps (I had forgotton about
this) is
the `make menuconfig` search.
mod6: I've been working, in
the recent few days since "irc-server!!1", on just shaving
the yak of my cuntoo-kernel.
mod6: Yeah,
thanks for your input.
