mircea_popescu: the reason the list of firm targets doesn't include the soft "well, i'm curious what he does about X" is precisely because... how hard am i gonna push it ? that's kinda the constraint, on one hand death by vagueness & ambiguity, on the other death by insufferable overbearingness.
mircea_popescu: phf i'm not saying you're the badman, or that it was necessarily plainly communicated. but, for what it's worth, that's what it was there.
mircea_popescu: now, from the evaluation late march, it seems to me i was correct in thinking back mid dec that you understood what the problems are, but that you didn't bother to implement any solution for one of them ? or what am i missing ?
mircea_popescu: Dec 14 14:07:00 <mircea_popescu> maybe he bites the bullet and makes special files. or who the hell knows. i'm curious.
mircea_popescu: Dec 14 14:06:42 <mircea_popescu> i'm letting him contribute, what. he understands what the problems are.
mircea_popescu: Dec 14 14:00:23 <asciilifeform> yea but mircea_popescu demanded sane namespace behaviour
mircea_popescu: um. no, i said as much months ago, dja want me to dig the log ?
mircea_popescu: terrible idea to do it on trb. no, you want to do it on something small and simple, speciifcallty because "it's not hard to regrind existing tree"
mircea_popescu: well, the vdiff new tree was originally the most promising point for such a sample. i did say something in the vein of "i'm not going to keep trinque mothballed forever if you don't do it" recently, but anyways.
mircea_popescu: so then you understand trinque's problem and trinque's idea ; or just the problem but not the idea or what was it ?
mircea_popescu: but "it's for the reader" is a very weak answer, because if patch 3 touching a and b is written so as to include patch 2, whereas patch 3` touching a alone is written so as not to include patch 2, "the reader" will have a most terrible time deciding which to use and why the fuck his build don't work.
mircea_popescu: should he spyked make a patch 2, which changes file b, is that patch 2 off G or off patch 1 ?
mircea_popescu: you, phf, made genesis G, with files a, b, c. you then made patch 1, which changes file a.
mircea_popescu: let me state it canonically then, to guide the looking :
mircea_popescu: his patch is a loose leaf, because it doesn't touch any of the files ?
mircea_popescu: phf do you see the problem spyked's patch to your v tree encountered ?
mircea_popescu: reason i even did things in this manner is because it's not clear to me why it was contentious or whether the contention was resolved.
mircea_popescu: it's not supposed to look like anything, nor is it supposed. it flows from a necessity, what.
mircea_popescu: phf that's the whole fucking point, implement his idea, having only "vague" understanding of how it's ~supposed~ to look. then he can comment on it.
mircea_popescu: what's in a year. people who "become president" on stanford's list usually take 3-5 decades.
mircea_popescu: i wonder which one of these identitties will pop up later doing anything worth the mention.
mircea_popescu: "qntra : under the deluge of tit bits, website-exchanges btc price keeps falling" lmao
mircea_popescu: (btw, vice is SO butthurt at "fashwave" it's something else. how fucktarded do these shriveled up, useless cunts who thought they can "become writers" need to be not to realise that the only thing they're doing is fanning teh fire ? aaanyways)
mircea_popescu: aand in other morning glories, "i dreamed that i was in trouble, i don't know what, and i was walking back to where you were, shaking incontrollably from all joints. but then, voice-of-god you, that was in the air, said "don't worry about it, pet. go back to sleep". so i went back to sleep." "did i also look like the old king on the packaging of small chocolates ?" "no, you didn't look like anything, it was just the voice."
mircea_popescu: i dunno wtf is it with sketchers, but they're the sketchiest bunch by far.
mircea_popescu: in case this is the last you hear of me -- know i've had a good life.
mircea_popescu: it is now in the freezer. i'm having the third serving. best 300 calorie spoonfulls i ever had.
mircea_popescu: AND THEN i cooked the flour in the fat and bechamel'd it with the alcohol. the resulting sauce got poured over cut up bananas.
mircea_popescu: in other suicide notes : i had girl grind into fine dust a 100% chocolate bar while another ground into similarily fine dust semillas de maranon. i myself was dumping raisins into rum.
mircea_popescu: basically, didn't ahve the time for the pantsuit to work it into idiocy, which is how things die there, "we added a code of conduct".
mircea_popescu: alt because works on more platforms and costs less and so on.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you understand how the usg uroborus goes ? constant eating its own tail : 1. have "idea" ; 2. get "finance" for idea ; 3. implement "idea" to "grow big" because "monetize later" ; 4. someone else has "same idea" does it cheaper ; 5. collects finance to "grow big" because "money later" and so on
mircea_popescu: douchebag but he has a point, there's a large pile of discord sluts / servers dedicated to them. can just as well raid those.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform alt-skype. exact same thing, too, which is lulzy.
mircea_popescu: the whole point of the exercise is to bring the light of the new world to the masses.
mircea_popescu: lol, is it actually open to arbitrage, ie hire hooker for a bitcent, write on her tits, make two bitcents ?
mircea_popescu: why, have you been sweet talking the girls into giving out your btc addresses ?
mircea_popescu: as long as they jump through the hoops, they get the cents.
mircea_popescu: it saved imperialism from collapse into africanism ; it'll do us a spot of good too. write letters home.
mircea_popescu: no, it's a worthy exercise, let him write reports to understand wtf he's doing even.
mircea_popescu: anyway. classification is the first and remains the foremost job of the scholar ; the cornersone of all understanding. its tools are the paramount tools of knowledge.
mircea_popescu: and "peasant civilisation" as in mirvniki or the wooden civilisation that covered the hills of transylvania as late as the 1800s is "both must repress"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "decadent bourgeoisie" is both must compete. you know, like late roman / late greeks / late manchuku / etc.
mircea_popescu: and this is, incidentally, why i don't for a second believe "alt-right" is anything but alt-socialism ; or why i never looked with friendly eyes upon say modlbug.
mircea_popescu: the "feminist" aka, "reverse-alt-right" doesn't even sort in a different box, either. they're the exact sorty of nut, precisely in the manner of how the guy who always speaks the truth and the guy who always speaks the opposite of truth aren't DIFFERENT.
mircea_popescu: the particular sort of nut that proposes that men needn't compete and women must repress is always and everywhere the same, whether it calls itself "young communists" or "students" or "Straightedge" or "alt-right", there can not be a difference once that unity is given.
mircea_popescu: and there's only two available fixes : either compete, or repress. there's nothing else, but these and mixes.
mircea_popescu: sex regulation is the first and fundamental point of even having a society in the first place, you understand this ? because a guy can maybe do a woman for an hour a day or such, but a gal can do all the men that walk in the door, and then some. it's mismatched, by nature.
mircea_popescu: when's the last time you saw a pantsuit worry outloud about how much sex a woman's been having ?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes this is a necessary problem of "unpumped tanks". sulphur compounds sort themselves to the bottom.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes consider the relationship to "promiscuity" ; and the notions of male-regulation of copulation rate. it's one of the best standards to sort "mass movements", much like the two metal bars slowly growing apart are the best standard to sort eggs.
mircea_popescu: (for the connoisseur : the only noteworthy, but indeed noteworthy for the insane lulz, part of this "straightedge" is how early usian starry-eyed communism had its EXACT equivalent of the... wtf was the soviet name for the anti-nep youths that didn't wash ? same group that did the great leap forward in china ?)
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i think alt-right is more a continuation of "straightedge" 90s fashion than any kind of 1950s wasplandia.
mircea_popescu: douchebag you know, for all the pretense the us is one of the few remaining orcistans where not everyone has a room to themselves.
mircea_popescu: but, truth be told, the reason i keep asking about previous work is precisely this. aaanyways.
mircea_popescu: i thought the whole point of "smart"phones was the camera.
mircea_popescu: i dunno why i keep getting cheap-ass webcam screenshots.
