BingoBoingo: Speaking of lunch today was
a liter of chocolate milk and
a tiny sandwich
a111: Logged on 2015-10-07 13:46 mircea_popescu: once newton/leibniz fixed notation, for instance, to take
a very easy historical example,
mircea_popescu: that's the major point here, that
a categorical split ("oh, either problem or aproblem!") is based on no equivalent phenomenological split.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-28 14:20 mircea_popescu: nah. cleverness in humans is simply equivalent of what drunks call "
a moment of lucidity", ie, stopped being indescribably fucking stupid for one god damned moment.
mircea_popescu: "if you're watching it-- it's fior you" means, also, "if you have this problem, it's not an alien problem", or otherwise put "
a study of alien problems is necessarily useless ; other than to prepare one for
a life spent trying to write for jezbel"
mircea_popescu: but the fact that such
a planet could never exist is left unadressed -- the needs of fiction are fictive.
mircea_popescu: anyway -- an alien problem is
a problem with
a banal retrospective solution that doesn't exist. it works well for fiction, where one can say "and on planet x, people all walked with their nose in
a clothespin, then our hero came in, told them to ditch the clothespins, AND THEREFORE WAS
A HERO. AND IS!" ie, establishing shot.
mircea_popescu: now consider the case of witch doctor. guy comes into office, outputs
a string ; witch doctor responds with some activity and some instruction ; problem does not get better.
mircea_popescu: consider the case of
a doctor. guy comes into office, outputs
a string ; doctor responds with some activity and some instruction ; problem gets better or doesn't.
mircea_popescu: consider the greater problem here asciilifeform : i give you
a set of 1mn units of blockchain. you are to reconstruct their order.
mircea_popescu: you know, not
a great graphs mind myself, but it seems to me our problem may admit better solutions eventually.
esthlos: ah I realized
a fucked up the seal handling, thanks mircea_popescu
mircea_popescu: (not
a great lisper myself, but it seems to me here he got caught in the "since i won't be implementing the posix and gnupg bs yet, im not going to put the thing dependent on tyhem at its right place either, because i wanna fuck myself over")
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform when building
a tree, first load up the sig folder, then apply it as
a mask on the patch folder, then proceed building with only the patches that passed.
phf: asciilifeform: i'm not sure you can even scheme without
a bunch of srfi's, the first dozen establish
a subset of common lisp standard
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform at some point phf will implement
a wordwrap ; which can be done for browser window.

a saladpoem out of your thoughts.
ReadErr: mircea_popescu: yea but ive just never been in
a position where it was desirable to learn that over something else
BingoBoingo: Learned is
a charitable description of my spanish
BingoBoingo: ReadErr: Why not? You got
a thing for humping hamplanets or something?
mircea_popescu: ReadErr not to mention speaks multiple languages. "esl" is
a thing even.
mircea_popescu: phf i thought it meant "toxoplasmosis is
a kind of meeting of the minds also!" tbh.
phf: did you know that the name comes from
a sacred african word, that means love and care for your fellow human being?
phf: ag3nt_zer0: there's
a general lean against ubuntu here (i mean it's
a piece of shit), but it should work, though you're going to run into pointless library conflicts and such, that an expert can resolve on sight. need sight though
mircea_popescu: ag3nt_zer0 do it again,
a) write down the specifics and b) don't wait
a month.
ag3nt_zer0: it was
a month ago so don't have the specifics anymore but system was telling me that i needed
a number of libs... I dl'ed and installed but the libs later in sequence were telling me they needed the earlier libs which were already supposedly installed. I tried the process several times and am happy to do it again if you think this is the best way but I was thinking maybe ubuntu isn't the most pragmatic for this?

a. j. ayer was once in the livingroom of one fernando sanchez on west 57th st, hanging out with
a buncha young hussies/models when one girl came arunnin' complaining that her friend was being assaulted in the bedroom. ayer went in, where he found mike tyson atop an obscure south london model. when the (at the time 70yo) oxford professor asked him to quit it, mike tyson wanted to know if he knows wh
mircea_popescu: they had all sorts of (utterly nonsensical) "cars of the future", their features being that they were "warlike" (in
a dysfunctional, anti-mechanicistic, looks-are-everything-and-hot-beats-cute girl pov) and that they had mechanisms exposed
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this "i gots to see what goes on in engine" thing is very present, though. /me watched
a half hour of "mad max, the version with the crazy south african hottie who got black gangraped so much in that beautifully democratic country, she's all about cutting out her tits and painting her face into wall-like appearances, EXACTLY like the native girls of the accursed africa -- and just like them, will NOT think of ty
ag3nt_zer0: ok in my attempts to set up trb node I encountered
a snag trying to install gpg keychain to verify sigs... tried
a bunch of troubleshooting tips but no luck. i'm using ubuntu 14.04 - thinking of starting fresh. what is best linux dist for trb node?

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-03#1763108 << i had to google the name, ran across principally the picture of an ugly orc thug in one of those university bonnets. why the fuck is
a 18yo monkey wearing collegiate apparel, not nearly old enough ?
mircea_popescu: demand from plebs is
a) entirely imaginary and b) fucking poisonous. fuck them, let them eat their plastic and thank their incagod.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-04 14:47 mircea_popescu: well, by far the cheapest masquerade of
a solution is spending the 45mn or so to buy
a junky old tanker and be happy.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> ReadErr when's the last time
a veyron/fighter jet etc was advertised TO YOU ? << The last time
a Buggatti was marketed to me was about ~45 minutes ago when I went to Tienda Inglesa for Chocolate milk. Here Bugatti markets... High end asado tools.
mircea_popescu: there were
a lotta muppets with the whole "who buys mpex seats" issue back in the day also ; it's
a poor people's limited universe problem.
mircea_popescu: ReadErr when's the last time
a veyron/fighter jet etc was advertised TO YOU ?
ReadErr: it seems like it would be
a very profitable venture
mircea_popescu: ReadErr if you want the use of
a twat, you can go to your local twatspensary, it's 20 bux or w/e. if you want organs (to eat, to transplant, whatever) it's like 50k
a pop or so, they do it in most countries ; if you want... what exactly do you want ?
mircea_popescu: trilema is like that thing from the matrix, one minute you're swallowing something, the next minute you're fucking
a bulky black dude with shaved head AND ENJOYING IT!!!1

a kidney tomorrow
phf: mircea_popescu: i was trying to do
a quick likbez on why the linked article might be funny, i believe we used to do
a disclaimer, for expert entomologist only
ReadErr: this is
a lot to take in, depth wise
mircea_popescu: towards the end i wanted to link
a primer, much in the vein of "here's how to eulora" or gentoo or etcetera : "here's why you are intolerably dumb and how to stop being intolerably dumb ;
a guide for pantsuit chickies".
mircea_popescu: in this competition, inept foreigners (as in

a certain item, which happens to be the fed trade account ; usg controls that -- the stated of * does not. that is the whole and complete story -- whatever usg says state, corporation, individual does.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: there is no such thing as "morals" or "faith". you got
a population of caged rats -- if the mysterious feeder person shows up in the morning they eat ; if not, they starve. they've been caged long enough for the the incredible productive assets and unlimited human ingenuity existing in America" to consist of 1001 ways to navelgraze.
ReadErr: money will play
a huge part for sure

For some workloads, the effective total loss of the TLB lead around every system call leads to highly visible slowdowns: @grsecurity measured

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-04#1763550 << ftr, it's high time for gabriel_laddel to grasp that his item has less to do with actual lispm than
a stuffed dog has with
a live one
phf: heh "Classification of Dugin as
a fascist is justified, regardless of the fact that today the MGU professor frequently speaks not as
a primitive ethnocentrist or biological racist. (...) By «fascist» we understand the «generic» meaning of the concept, used in comparatory research of contemporary right-wing extremism by such well-known historians-comparativists [etc.]
☟︎ phf:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-04#1763609 << not sure Dugin falls into either category, he's one of the "national bolshevik party" leaders, and wikipedia is eager to point out that he's
a "fascist!11" and calls to hasten "end of times" with "all-out war", but linked piece is just lulzy in its Vladimir Sorokin slavic nationalist futurism
☝︎ ReadErr: but how would that work in
a closed loop system
ReadErr: that people have to expend energy/effort to get
a dollar, but nothing is required to put that dollar into circulation
ReadErr: but if i sell you
a loaf of bread for
a dollar
ReadErr: i would have thought it would be
a redistribution
ReadErr: printolade is
a finite resource then ?
danielpbarron: ReadErr, it's
a lot different. there is no limit to how many dollars get printed
danielpbarron: i can see
a world in which local banks print notes backed by bitcoin, but the bitcoin itself is not backed
a111: Logged on 2017-12-31 16:39 mircea_popescu: don't lie, because if you do you form
a sort of mental habit that will prevent you from ever inventing anything.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> not, certainly,
a lispm. any moar than old rusty toyota with the holes caulked, and oars fitted, is
a boat . << Well, hazard of desyncing is ending up on the caulk chain
trinque: there's
a cheap meal down there in the decimals
lobbes: k. should I set up
a new invoice or just resend the !!v ?
gabriel_laddel: danielpbarron where are you located? I'm in cincy getting
a job now to pay for some flights to see people like you
gabriel_laddel: thats
a damn good idea, I was referring to DanG who hosted the youtube video tho
mircea_popescu: to put it in other words : the republic does not deem corporatyions to be persons.
a corporation can't owe tax for the exact same reason the united states government can't be sovereign.
☟︎ Troika: Can one create
a new WOT identity? For purposes of paying "corporate tax/tithe" to TMSR, as opposed to an individual WOT identity.
