mircea_popescu: n a stalemate over it for weeks, and the whole time the patient was tearfully begging the doctor to release her. I cannot tell you how much willpower it took not to sneak into the patient’s room and yell at her “JUST AGREE TO GO TO THE REHAB AND THEN DON’T DO IT, YOU IDIOT”."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform eh, what, walk me throiugh this. let's use lesswrong codex as a basis. so : 1. you are in the hospital for "maybe wanting to kill yourself", after having made ill advised 1970s comments to 2010s paki diversity-"doctor" ; 2. "I remember working with a doctor who wanted to discharge his patient to some kind of outpatient drug rehab. The patient refused to go, so the doctor wouldn’t discharge her, and they were i
mircea_popescu: it's also improbable you were ever born, so good thing you weren't...
mircea_popescu: who the fuck used feculent in a sentence! i was just explaining it yest!
mircea_popescu: the moderate rebels of syria, shooting rockets at the elected government. an' the moderate rebels of ukraina, shooting rockets at civillian airplanes.
mircea_popescu: lol so in the end ns1/ns2.qntra.net are the pizarro nameservers ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: #ada is asleep ; and in other lulz dbotton disappeared. (guy used to run getadanow.com, maybe still does)
mircea_popescu: avoidable. sooner or later the bootstrap problem kicks in.
mircea_popescu: other than that, there's also the spoon+swamp of "get sorta-gnat compiled on arm64 freebsd, use that to compile real gnat, use that to..."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform indeed ; the easiest target is the upperclass housewife.
mircea_popescu: technologists are universally treasonous, that's fundamentally what the word means, a new face on the old "bastard", son of no father. they might go for it.
mircea_popescu: adacore is perhaps the closest contemporary approximation ; why not pay them a little for their pompous if economically dysfunctional "moneymaker" and then brazenly ask them to help you ruin the whole thing ?
mircea_popescu: just... here's the political reasoning : symbolics went to shit ~in part~ because nobody was there to corrupt the idiots involved into turning arms against the empire of stupid that spawned them and stab it in the back.
mircea_popescu: but otherwise it's very much not different in any meaningful way.
mircea_popescu: that';s the point, the support contract. can ask gingold and actually expect an answer, as opposed to hope for one.
mircea_popescu: anyway, im pretty sure the adacore people were fucking around with arm64 at some point. maybe asc gingold or someone ?
mircea_popescu: hey, check out the blogger from ealirer, there's enough stream of consciousness commentary there to last a legion of talk therapist.
mircea_popescu: so that;s why "nobody has published". thousand eyes don't do work.
mircea_popescu: seems certain it'll be one of those intermediate-steps-bootstrapping deals.
mircea_popescu: alternatively, freebsd had a thing for arm64 that may be able to compile a gnat capable to compile your gnat ?
mircea_popescu: now, it has a whole pile of "intel me" bs (did i mention - xilinx ?) but nevertheless
mircea_popescu: listen. the zynq is a 64 board ; and it's in the adacore's list of somewhat supported packages.
mircea_popescu: im pretty sure it was a "raspbian" ie, extra-lame-ubuntu
mircea_popescu: oh, wait, wait. by being this wikitard style of participative democratic cow. i forgot.
mircea_popescu: "An advertisement costs $250/month or $1250/6 months, plus an extra $50 if you want me to design it for you. Ads can expect about 10,000 to 20,000 impressions per day. Past ads that were interesting and well-targeted have gotten about five hundred clickthroughs in their first week, followed by a steady fifty clickthroughs per week thereafter." jesus christ, and ~nobody reads it on top of everything else. how the fuck do you g
mircea_popescu: he reads to me like someone on antipsychotic medication. maybe at some point in his youth he was intelligent, i guess, but by now i'd much rather listen to the barristas. at least they giggle.
mircea_popescu: he's not technically on the level of the literate-since-yesterday redditard, but he's very much on the level right above that -- zero intellectual curiosity (in spite of a lot of meta herp derping about it), absolutely no critical ability whatsoever, a complete inadherence to humor, metaphore, rhetorical device, subtext, any sign of an intellectual life whatsoever.
mircea_popescu: i managed to get to point X of his ENDLESS "i can tolerate anything except the outgroup" "recommended article", after going through another two or three items placed higher on his list of self-recommendations ; but eventually my patience was exhausted.
mircea_popescu: aaaanyway, my original curio in
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-31#1791647 is very much resolved. take the scott alexander fellow from above : he's been around for long enough, writes frequently enough, meets all the other criteria implied in the request. he's very VERBOSE too, and utterly fucking unreadable.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: in simple terms, the terrorists long ago won all possible battles. they're just not who you thought would be the terrorists.
mircea_popescu: anyway. some of the classical atenian poets stopped the rain. heck, one even sang his way into hell. he didn't actually accomplish anything down there, but he ALMOST did.
mircea_popescu: douchebag as above : according to whom, "the terrorists" ?
mircea_popescu: BigTexasBingo link where trump says anglin did something ?!
mircea_popescu: (no, ustards didn't invent pop culture. britny hilton existed 500 bc, fo sho.)
mircea_popescu: basically, you're engaging in the up to date equivalent of the athenian poetry competition.
mircea_popescu: try to leverage technology to convince the political power to give you some decidous leaves inscribed with flattering but ultimately hollow words such as "glory forever!" which will stick around for a season before turning to dust.
mircea_popescu: "I would love to make a billion dollars ; Between a few people, I have $3.5million that investors are willing to invest ; and I have a team of people who are extremely skilled"
mircea_popescu: BigTexasBingo according to mexico ? or the honduran refugees ?
mircea_popescu: douchebag well, from experience you won't make it supporting the system ; but burning it down.
mircea_popescu: BigTexasBingo i don't want to read that, can there be a one line summary ?
mircea_popescu: anything less than the billion dollars is the sound of you getting shortchanged.
mircea_popescu: think about it for a second, it's dubious if there are one thousand human beings alive today. the total monetary mass is well past the trillion mark.
mircea_popescu: douchebag as things currently stand, if it's fiats and it's not in the billions you're wasting your time.
mircea_popescu: the ammounts of money involved in all this are so trivial as to not meet the bar for being called money.
mircea_popescu: you could, if you were a "tester". or an "influencer". or whatever.
mircea_popescu: hey. ruining the possibility of pantsuit continuance is entertainment to me.
mircea_popescu: but as the elite increasingly opts out of supporting the "shiny happy faces of drooling imbeciles" modern of postmodern democracy, the thing will fall. it can't support itself, the only way it can live is for as long as you're willing to take $1k in lieu of "tell you what, I OWN tmobile now, you can all go home / hit the unemployment lines"
mircea_popescu: douchebag anyway, i'm not saying the options you're taking aren't on the table. they are. i am however saying that the table won't last ; which of course is about as interesting in the direct as telling a brontosaurus happily chewing on a fern that a meteoir's coming. "so... what does this mean ~TO ME~, should i switch to chewing palms ?"
mircea_popescu: yes dude. the failure of postmodern "democracy" is built out of the mass involvement of idiots who have no business outside of chained-in-dungeon, coupled with weak non-payments to pacify the elite and the self-seeking, comfort driven behaviours of everyone.
mircea_popescu: so they "pay" you in the sense of giving you nothing as far as they concerned to get in exchange the very valuable (as far as they're concerned) option to continue exactly as before ?
mircea_popescu: that's what you get for "getting more people involved" in things.
