BingoBoingo: In other pantsuit failures "I wanted to tear my hair out. HOW CAN YOUR RACE NOT BE THE BIGGEST PART OF WHO YOU ARE, I wanted to scream. DO YOU NOT KNOW YOUR HISTORY? WHY WILL YOU NOT LET ME TEACH YOU?" >> "Would it have been different if I was black rather than brown?"
trinque: good stuff. guess I'll have to listen to some eagles of death metal now.
mircea_popescu: then again the only black rapper i could name is the real slim shady.
mircea_popescu: point in case, i never heard o' him.
mircea_popescu: i expect it's where it's headed. already produced vast herds of dependent idiots who 100% couldn't feed self without the empire.
asciilifeform: i dun recall if it was told, which.
asciilifeform: re 'bostonism of star trek', i recall reading that it is ~officially~ a plot point, that the starship had no toilet. erryone shits in pants, and it is teleported out. this is automatically what i think of when hear 'star trek'
mircea_popescu: much like in the case of say showgirls, the pantsuit "public oppinion" panned the wicked lady, speaking of course with the usual pretense of ex-cathedra "everyone agrees" and http://trilema.com/2018/memoranda-of-congress/#selection-159.15-161.0 nonsense. nevertheless it's an infinitely better movie than all the retarded crap they gush over. i'd take it every time over crap like "mandy" (aka "clash of silence", the 1952 waste
mircea_popescu: #3 is do i need to go on ? bruckheimer, the fucktard behind pirates of the whatever. at least he's an alcoholic.
asciilifeform: ... or is it moar of a general-purpose 'workout', a la stalin's generals, i.e. 'yes guess what, generals are removable'
mircea_popescu: it starts with "i don't drink alcohol." once you hear that, you know what you're dealing with pretty much.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, they're already there. have been, for decade+. you should see the shitheads doing the "mega franchises", jesus fuck i wouldn't have the misery in my house.
asciilifeform: i.e. when they start installing the ideologically-correct replacement producers
mircea_popescu: (obviously i was using a metaphore, i don't actually do the watching as such.)
asciilifeform: i actually did this for shitware-analysis
mircea_popescu: but i have no faith in the process.
asciilifeform: but admittedly i only have naked eye observation. i have not the first notion re what they dream.
asciilifeform: all i know is where their 'mecca', for king and slave alike, seems to be -- not in the frozen old puritanistan , but in sf
mircea_popescu: i've yet to meet any of the us aspie class who aren't firmly head-based on state st.
mircea_popescu: i dunno how familiar you are at all with cultural trends in that uneasy federal empire of entirely uncommunicating groups, but does eg greenspun sound cali to you AT ALL ?
mircea_popescu: i dunno, it's a complex matter. but my read on the whole shebang was "hey, californian dumb beach babes, this is what's good and proper, isn't it what you believe ?" "duh".
asciilifeform: somehow i thought they moved it west, like su moved capital to moscow from peterburg
asciilifeform: i haven't even been to west usa, even.
asciilifeform: somehow i never actually met the 'troo believers', only the cynical распил profiting folx
asciilifeform: and 'dead' is not quite how i'd describe a thing that's mostly replaced the actual comp for all of luserdom
mircea_popescu: you know, i think i published A NUMBER OF bashens that never crash. or is bash not perl ?
asciilifeform: it's 'crash-only', i.e. perlistic, kompyooting
mircea_popescu: aaand in other batshit, i am dissecting this system whose .mozilla directory is... 1.7GB. THREE CDS. what the fuck intricacy of prophylactic detail could possibly be stored there!
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-19#1788278 << i've discovered similar, my 3g phone barely has signal and doesn't last more than a day in san francisco. presumably because the number of 3g supporting towers is significantly lower here ☝︎☟︎
hanbot: and i'm not even in the us.
mircea_popescu: i rewatched gents prefer blondes, earlier. it's "holywood takes out all stops", but amusingly in their quest for "over the top decadence" and other delicious salamis, they have uberdressed girls tied to a spurious spinning chandelier RATHER THAN taking anyone's top off.
hanbot: my grocer moved from listing things on receipt by their order on conveyor (which i diligently sort so i can do weekly accounting at a sane rate) to alphabetical. in other seemingly miniscule things that end up being completely maddening. 10 mins ---> 30 mins + neckache, fuxory.
phf: but i'm not sure the added complexity improves anything, until we go full chuck moore with a pervasive custom encoding scheme on a system level.
phf: yeah, we settled on a pragmatic "sort it as ASCII", which works for me, but i need to think about it some more, and at least do a write up on the subject. i mean, ascii has some funny properties, like some symbols come before numbers, some after numbers, and yet some more after letters, e.g. the ordering of 1A+~? is +1A?~
a111: Logged on 2018-02-23 03:23 hanbot: phf anyway re your footnote four, i think it looks great, and stolen takes one l, though "stollen from elsewhere" sounds delicious
a111: Logged on 2018-03-08 18:03 mircea_popescu: also fucking terrible comments interface you got there ; how do i know how many there are ? before clicking on the article ; and how do i visually separate them, and why aren';t they numbered and so on.
mircea_popescu: glad i asked lol.
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-08#1787317 << дневник as typed with jcuken but on a qwerty layout. it's an old derogatory runet term for diary writing, but in this case it's the default category i use that i forgot to change ☝︎
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, cheers! and I'm glad ave1 asked this actually, as it strikes me as a point where a reader would hurry in to "optimise" the code potentially
hanbot: phf kk, i'll shoot for that
phf: hanbot: note that http://barksinthewind.com/2018/vtools-vpatch/#selection-147.0-192.0 i'm going to fix it by wednesday, but if you can give me an unsigned rough draft of a keccak mp-wp.vpatch before then, i'll be able to use it as a test ☟︎
hanbot: no reason i know of that i can't revert though. alright, glad this came up now, then.
mircea_popescu: hanbot why would you follow the dead branch i don't get it ?
a111: Logged on 2018-03-18 00:30 hanbot: speaking of which, i'll have a genesis of mp-wp up this coming week.
hanbot: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-18#1788161 << sadly i have to scratch this; i have a genesis file but testing etc is waiting on having a site again. i let some shit into my wine with the nfs choice, and moreover i should've jumped on them the moment shitpay's final coffin nail was discussed here. apologies to anyone waiting on it --s'not forgotten, but it will be late. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-03-13 19:11 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-13#1787748 << just about, yes. i wanted a model file so we have something to play with and the original concept was to have phf include it in his v tree of his v rewrite because it seemed the first item that's coming out at the time from l1 hands ; but if it's holding you back re tmsr-portage, go ahead and make the sample yourself and we'll see how it works.
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-13#1787751 << oh duh, missed opportunity. i thought the idea was to integrate trinque's design into code where appropriate, but it makes sense that i could've just used the design for my release. ☝︎
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-23#1789396 << i already fixed it, but took longer than usual because there was a new issue, i haven't seen before. when bot recovers, it asks additional sources for missed messages, which uses timestamp amongst other things for fuzzy merge. the drift between servers exceeded the hardcoded 15s, so the merge was failing out on asserts. goes back to the ntp threads ☝︎
mircea_popescu: a, b and i basically.
mircea_popescu: i suspect they wrote the scripts by drawing cards.
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-03-24 15:23 mircea_popescu: in any case you can't blame the vegetative system for cognitive failure ; and in the same spirit, i get it that ~everyone smells the pantsuit on douchebag and is driven mad to the point of barking with it. however, it seems to me the kid's merely maleducated, but fundamentally his brain works underneath.
trinque: http://logs.bvulpes.com/trilema?d=2018-3-24#318940 << yep, it's why I gave him a wager on his claims rather than negrate.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-24#1789555 << i dun think anyone even suggested that the kid was a tard. he suffers from specific infectious disease, if you will, as formulated in, say, http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-22#1788946 , i.e. the disease of extrinsic motivation , 'what's the minimal sweat i need to grab the brass ring' ☝︎☝︎
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2017-12-08 14:49 asciilifeform: the 'good climate makes folx lazy and slowly climbing 'back up to trees' ' item is an old saw, but i'm not aware of any major hole in the theory
mircea_popescu: http://logs.bvulpes.com/trilema?d=2017-12-8#255192 << he and i both suspect that eating bananas' ultimately not good for the spirit. yet what's the nigerian to do, hold out for potatoes ? potatoes don't even grow there. move 2k miles ? on what, his own farts ?

mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-03-22 17:34 asciilifeform: the ~other~ engineering heuristic that's absolutely imho grand, and that i stole from mircea_popescu , is 'there is not a mechanical substitute for coming to an understanding with the people you live and work with'
mircea_popescu: http://logs.bvulpes.com/trilema?d=2018-3-22#317465 << i'd add a third, which is "the insistence on the trivial case". there's a fundamental tension at work here, because we call it "exam taking", but bear it in mind that the presence of exam takers is not a flaw in the population, but a failure of the system!
trinque: What, you took a day to go from "I'll root yer shit!" to "I-I can perl some logs..."
trinque: It means I ask you "give me the balance of $x" and you respond correctly, to my satisfaction that you could do it for any account.
trinque: http://logs.bvulpes.com/trilema?d=2018-3-24#318721 << I said an arbitrary account balance. Do you understand what this means?
mircea_popescu: aaand in best vincent price lines, "alas, why must i be plagued by the harping of magpies on the eve of battle!"
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes the quotes i don't mind much but i need the from, can't find shit like what spyked said otherwise so i missed a "you have two" refernece, because apparently i only made a ro one on trilema and wtf.
ben_vulpes: i have two bots
mircea_popescu: oh it has implicit quotes i see
shinohai: Will do lobbes .... been busy setting up a binhost for personal use, so I don't have to compile the same goddamned packages 5,420 times.
lobbes: for some reason I want to say someone else had two, but I cannot produce a person so mebbe not
lobbes: no way I could be the first?
lobbes: I could always just slap up a separate gribble instance with this new pizarro shell tho. May be the cleanest that way actually.
lobbes: that works. Honestly could be a bit before I get to them anyways
shinohai: I can tar the plugins up for you if you need 'em. ☟︎
shinohai: Since I ported everything over to the trinque model (since yes I *did* find the sauce) prolly won't put it back up.
asciilifeform: i do not know the magic for it
douchebag: I'll continue pressing this bots buttons
ben_vulpes: well once we have hanbot up and running with an mp-wp produced from her patches i'll move this over to that setup
mircea_popescu: i dun think they break, you got some other bug in there.
ben_vulpes: aight well i switched it back for now but that's awful and will have to get fixed
ben_vulpes: i did not realize that previously published permalinks would break when switching to the slug
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes plox put a favicon on your log site, i can't pick it out of the tabline.
mircea_popescu: anyway douchebag come up with something interesting, i'll voice you so you can announce it.
mircea_popescu: oh i see
mircea_popescu: trinque there's something amiss here ; i see 4 ratings from 4 people in teh l1, how can it be +1 ? should be 0 no ?
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-03-23 16:22 douchebag: I don't see why every single thing that happens in this channel has to turn into some big ordeal
mircea_popescu: in fact, there is a TON of work for a competent art guy. eulora needs stuff ; i want to get a porny comic off the ground ; mp-wp needs theme work...
mircea_popescu: i guess.
asciilifeform: i don't know of any practical reason to; but strictly for mental muscle build, it is notbad
mircea_popescu: i was trying to figure out wtf is going on, which link in the chain is not performing.
ben_vulpes: because i'm fuckin dying over here
ben_vulpes: you know i think this is actually a devious plot to murder elements of the lordship with excessive laughter
danielpbarron: he means nigger, i called him a nigger
douchebag: I don't mind, but I just wanted to make sure that was on the record
deedbot: 2018/03/08 17:52:20 <phf> lisp failed to even identify the need for ffi, when it was standardized i don't think there even were lisps that could or needed to ffi, since they all ran on lisp machines
danielpbarron: ya i will do, sorry about that
asciilifeform: i have nfi why this had to wait, lol
douchebag: I don't see why every single thing that happens in this channel has to turn into some big ordeal
douchebag: If I do it again, do whatever the hell it is you want to do
douchebag: Listen I am not going to test the bots in here anymore
douchebag: I wont test it here anymore
douchebag: mod6: trinque told me I can test his bot, so that is what I was doing
