mircea_popescu: in other lulz, "Hey! I'm Ashley. I'm an 18 year old girl living in Houston, TX who's in a bit of a financial bind at the moment. I'm a senior in high school. I don't even have my drivers license or a ride to work so it's not like I can get a normal job at the moment."
mircea_popescu: !!pay 123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890.123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890
mircea_popescu: douchebag there's an almost-official gentoo version floating about, we're working towards making it definitive.
mircea_popescu: also if you manage to upset the developer's expectation javascript uses ints, it'll fail all sorta 4.9999998 = 5 tests
mircea_popescu: (as you might intuit, i was a terror as a 5yo being introduced to darwinism. "so why did the other birdy quit ?" "well the guy was bigger." "so ?" "so he's affraid of him." "why ?" "because he's bigger." "So what if he's bigger ? what could he do ? just flies around like an idiot" "could peck it" "so could the smaller one!" and on and on.)
mircea_popescu: part and parcel of the problem of postmodernity, and the deep cause behind all the superficiality, is that nobody ever gets a run for his money. like in overadvanced (supercowardly) species, the whole contest of life consists of display and nothing more.
mircea_popescu: it also looks like douchebag ran out of chicks in his discordbook, so we shall enjoy productivity unblemished lel
mircea_popescu: if you have the time i'll hussle you with annoying fundamental questions. if not, later.
mircea_popescu: phf that's the issue in my head, of no practical consequence as it is : why, exactly, different beast, and how ?
mircea_popescu: i don't remember what you said when i asked if your new diff diffs binaries ?
mircea_popescu: it's not even the timewaste per se, it's the subjective relation to it.
mircea_popescu: it's just... jesus christ i am at a loss to comprehend what the problems involved are. fuck me, i'm working on an ai sex bot to fetlife ? really ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform seems to me a correctly designed and properly implemented version of trinque 's original doodle, which he summarily described as "bundle all files together and hash"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: just... why the fuck! "i am an intelligent fellow. i have these dumbells on my feet ; and this loudspeaker screaming in my ears". dude...
mircea_popescu: and so you check the dood's bio, and "I currently work at Ozlo, where we’re building an AI-powered digital assistant. Previously, I worked at Firebase, a scalable realtime application backend. Before that, I worked on a wide range of experimental projects to improve the web at Mozilla Labs."
mircea_popescu: meanwhile otherplaces, "shared libraries are obviously a good idea until you’ve actually used them. then whether it’s obvious or not that they’re a bad idea is mostly a matter of how close you are to trying to get them to work." such a great share that anant thing.
mircea_popescu: yes, the idea was to make a "reorg" patch separately if you're going to move files about.
mircea_popescu: file a/hurr/durr.txt hash aba1 matches file b/hurr/hurr.txt hash aba1, durr.txt was renamed as hurr.txt (renaming and moving are, like norton commander correctly identified, the SAME op. it's all a namechange.)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the logged discussion on the topic was, "if hashes match but paths do not, the file was moved ; if hashes match and paths match, the file is untouched ; if hashes do not match but paths match the file was modified ; if hashes do not match and paths do not match the file was created/deleted"
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: gns:mircea/writings/trilema/categories/ is just about the only way to corectly refer to the item.
mircea_popescu: myeah. the only problem is that i suspect the unix notion of filenames (if ~properly~ regarded, ie, full paths) is actually entirely correct, and how gns will have to work anyway.
mircea_popescu: "all files are identified by hashes of their (proper) name and content" and all that.
mircea_popescu: at which juncture i suppose it'd pay to check, huh. hey phf, my memory of logs discussion includes this item whereby the above problem was fully resolved by declaring the path as inseparable part of the filename. you on the same page ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: this is where we admit that while the alternative solution presented passes on technical merits, nevertheless the thing it's an alternative to has much better political support. i ~want~ to require people to say a word about their patch, for human eyes.
mircea_popescu: (i get it, i get it, you use the republican-standard declare-size cut method. yes yes.)
mircea_popescu: basically you add all files into a temp together, space-separated ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform basically breaks every patch up into single-file units ?
mircea_popescu: ah. so then get the whet back and see from there. maybe new vdiff is ready ; if not and you want to march you can apply spyked's patch on the extant codebase as published by phf, if i understand correctly that should fix your problem. the diffs you produce with the thing thereby compiled will work with later restared vdiff too.
mircea_popescu: hanbot atm phf is re-grinding his vdiff to include histfile and afaik you didn't have hosting ? did that meanwhile resolve ?
mircea_popescu: usg medicine is very much like usg "technology" aka web development : "hey, it seems to work!"
mircea_popescu: the usg employee that told the truth hasn't been seen this decade.
mircea_popescu: piddly $100k career take for "elite" representatives of the embattled government ? vulnerable as all hell.
mircea_popescu: we just discussed this ; s.nsa is at the most selling one of the two spares. ill run the numbers later an' give you an aye or nay.
mircea_popescu: anyway ; training the "woke" in any sort of skilled anything is seriously immoral. knowledge is not to be used for evil.
mircea_popescu: oh, wait, being an annoying bitch doesn't work ?!?! ONOES!! WHO COULD HAVE PREDICTED!
mircea_popescu: "3x as many male managers are now uncomfortable mentoring women in the wake of #MeToo. This is a huge step in the wrong direction. We need more" << roflmao.
mircea_popescu: the notion there exists a fiatola bitcoin price was due for a trashing anyway ; part and parcel of a collection of quaint nonsense like the flat earth on turtles and the predictive power of phrenology.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes shinohai got an identity crisis after finding out he's lagging behind, is either genuinely finding his way out or else sulking somewhere waiting for the usual disasters to befal.
mircea_popescu: rape is only when a white boy on campus gets his nerve up to say hi
mircea_popescu: and the funniest part of all of this is that they're somehow not calling it rape.
mircea_popescu: "Qaisar Mahmood, a Muslim born in Pakistan, is the new head of the Swedish National Heritage Board." He admits "he has not read anything about Sweden’s cultural heritage." << bwahahaha
mircea_popescu: honestly i don't recall being as infuriated with computers hence.
mircea_popescu: hey, novell netware is what got me into hand-written serial cable protocols.
mircea_popescu: it's kinda funny to delve into the other side on occasion. check out the "i'm an idiot" style quotes, be unsurprised they use "npm" to chown root
mircea_popescu: bwahahaha "bug in npm changes permissions on / file system destroys productions linux or unix boxes. “sudo npm” will chown “/“."
mircea_popescu: imagine, dacia good, bmw and audi bad. a whole generation of dead romanians would cream SO HARD if they could see this.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, in between "here's what the french atlantic said about german cars, bmw is worst ever" and retweets of "Having kids to give life meaning creates more lives that need meaning. Basically it’s a Ponzi scheme." he did entertain me for a few minutes, so not all is lost.
mircea_popescu: basically cuck rage, but of a platonic rather than sexual nature.
mircea_popescu: dude thinks pantsuit is right ; hates the fact that i exist, and the way i tend to rub pantsuit nose in the necessary pantsuit failure / gloat at the success of my rape & "sociopathy" campaign REALLY gets his goat.
mircea_popescu: (he also hates bitcoin, because how dared it make me rich. and in general -- let's just say if he sees you driving my car he'll hate you too)
mircea_popescu: in other items of kibo-interest, salted roasted pistachios with milk make for a splendid breakfast. you shell a few, you take a swig ; you take a swig, you shell a few.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and the idea is to keep a spare there in any case, even if we don't use it for anything, "to make up for lost time", live a little as it were ?
mircea_popescu: also, do you want to lamp the main phuctor item rather than use the vps + server minigame system ? i imagine it'd be easier to do python bindingd and w/e that way ?
mircea_popescu: we have a main which is going to be the nsa / phuctor main machine and 3 spares was it ? or 2 ?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes you mean, of the servers asciilifeform is flying in ?
mircea_popescu: "oh, but how does one know something's random noise afore the fact ? isn't that begging the question ?" you can't establish something is random ~after the fact~, nitwit, randomness is not a property of the string ~but of the method that produced it~. therefore, it's random noise because it comes out of an unknown source, duh!
