mircea_popescu: many problems that previously had poor or altogether no solution are essentially resolved now as
a result.
mircea_popescu: to wit, "computer algebra is broken in
a few fixable ways" ; "digital cryptography is broken in
a few fixable ways" ?
mircea_popescu: yes, but did you follow either asciilifeform or diana_coman 's approach to
a very similar problem ?
gabriel_laddel: well for one, I'm not really prepared to sell M to the mass market & recently reached the conclusion that CLIM is backwards in
a few fixable ways. #1, commands are to be computed by code walking rather than define-command & by using (declare) and FUNCTION-LAMBDA-LIST
mircea_popescu: i can't, on the basis of that video, infer anything beyond, "hey, if we ever want to upload
a youtube video with apologies about some software, maybe gabriel_laddel is free"

a problem i perceive phf : you could guess about log(n) of my understanding of various things that interest me on the basis of reading trilema ; i could not guess epsilon of thge say your understanding of sbcl on the basis of reading whatever you provide voluntarily. i could glean it from this kind of interaction, but here's what that means :
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-29#1760839 ben_vulpes: holy hell someone set off an alarm at
a construction site down the street and now i cannot think through the blaring
BingoBoingo: Also Yerba's got
a bit of
a different kick than coffee
BingoBoingo: trinque: How do you know that wasn't
a leprachaun pretending to be pete's peeple?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo this is
a normal people wooden door, up on
a ledge. whatevs.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i thought some idiot actually kicked it, which makes no sense seeing how
a few layers of metal grates etc to get to it. but i was like... oook, who dies today. << AHA metal grates everywhere here too!

trinque just had joo oral surgeon chop out wisdom teeth, did
a great job
trinque: BingoBoingo will put you in
a backpack
BingoBoingo: gabriel_laddel: That'll give us
a corridor through the city
gabriel_laddel: Nope. ISY in Ohio. Saw
a COMPETENT WHITE DOCTOR today and got CAT scan + surgery scheduled
BingoBoingo: gabriel_laddel: Eh, I would have recommended those places to you
a few months ago, but seriously just get
a place in Ciudad vieja. There's
a coworking place near aguada park.
BingoBoingo: <trinque> I dunno; wouldn't be
a bad thing for someone to investigate if there's
a sickly <-> pantsuit correlation << There is

BingoBoingo: I mean, culturally Argentina and Uruguay are similar stock. But there is
a palpable difference between the people of both places assembled and individually.
BingoBoingo: "While Iceland has had equal pay laws in place since 1961, the new standard is seen as the first time that the small and prosperous nation of about 340,000" << This is
a population in the range of "invadable by Uruguay if Uruguay were managed like USSA"
mircea_popescu: it is EXACTLY like keeping
a filthy house so cockroaches and rats can spread ;
a shameful act and
a polity delictus.

mircea_popescu: "what have we learned today, dottirsherd ?" "today we have learned that the capital duty incumbent upon the dottir herswoman is to find herself
a master to obediently follow ; because if dottir herdswoman attempts to act of her own, disaster universally follows."
mircea_popescu: conversely, is there such
a thing possible as "distil the wine", in the sense of, "taking
a cask of wine in which were put no droppings of any kind, and making it wine-irier, somehiw" ?
mircea_popescu: is there such
a thing possible as "distill the wine", in the sense of "putting in less chicken droppings than previously" ?
mircea_popescu: well, i guess we break out the metaphors. suppose you're now
a vintner.
mircea_popescu: think about it for
a second, what's the aleph of entropy ?
phf: no c-
a doesn't work anymore, since that's what escape directive does
mircea_popescu: one of my dreams is to one day visit
a nubile young woman's place of domicile and discover this slighlty humid cave, with beds piled up like racks, 20 of them on either side.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo dude when i was your age i jumped INTO
a chicks bunk.
BingoBoingo: Jumping is not
a gringo power. They even made
a movie titled "White men can't jump"
mircea_popescu: and you still gotta get the hang of spanish flow. "la noche pasada, nadie robar mi escalara" = "last night, nobody to steal my steer" is funny, but "la noche pasada nadie me robo nada"
a little more in the vein of common speech.
mircea_popescu: phf ahaha that thing. "comes alive at night AND FUCKS YOUR WIFE!!!" has endured as
a harem ditty.
mircea_popescu: ok, but do me
a favour, don't drink the whole river at the same time.
mircea_popescu: why not exploding fossil amber marbles with tyronasauri trapped inside! they could gnaw at your ankles! play it in the bed of
a piranha infested river!
ReadErr: mircea_popescu: what about
a flashbang
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes yes, wake me up when YOU are the dood they make
a film about.
ReadErr: i cant throw
a baseball so id probably die
ReadErr: oh yea the damage is way less in
a game
phf: it's
a common redneck activity here, i've been to
a desert event where guy was shooting
a mortar
mircea_popescu: though i also suppose misrepresentation in media has
a lot to do with ellaborate misperception. no, if you drop one on your toe you're not going to escape with merely the gift of blindness, "like that guy in scent of
a woman".
a111: Logged on 2018-01-03 14:26 ReadErr: i wan to go to
a country that lets you toss live grenades
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-03#1763141 << the us "lets you" in the same way anyone ever will, drive to the desert and blast away. the only problem is that i'd rate throwing grenades at more annoying (in the sense, you'd have to pay me more to do it) than using
a concrete drill/chainsaw for four hours. PER ITEM. even if you have the shoot spiggot on the ak they're
a pain in the butt.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: i suspect it's "school"-induced passivization, "i have to spend twelve hours
a day while
a bunch of teachers/advertisers/politicans/whatever try their best to summon my attention out of the fatty crevices it hides into"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nah, it's
a very genuine social dynamic in monkey society (or "african-american" if you prefer), wherein strength dominates the very crowded quarters they're forced into, but speed is more useful for the group (as seen in ferguson, say). consequently, quick fuckers now and again scurry behind the big kahuna and knock him out, just foer the experience of it.
mircea_popescu: "i was brushing my teeth this morning, officer, and i got distracted by
a finger's worth of underboob in that gym advertisment, and so accidentally hit myself in the jaw with the toothrbush and that's the last i remeber! THERE WERE THREE OF THEM AND THEY WERE BLACK!!!1"
mircea_popescu: phf you know, "kinky" is rapidly becoming
a very dirty word, sorta like "moron" ? 99% of my exposure to "kinky" comes from reviewing bot logs, where the pattern is 1. item self-identifies as "kinky" ; 2. bot goes through HELO/EHLO with them, provides entry point ; 3. they come back with "here is my valuation of $entry-point". because totally, anon bitch on meat market is
a) in some kind of position of power and b) being asked
BingoBoingo: Urban schools put
a greater emphasis on the regalia

a matter of perspective. i treat is as what knuth&graham call
a "recurrent problem", i.e. it can be solved by finding
a small case, which is self-similar to the whole. the solution can also be proved by induction
a111: Logged on 2018-01-03 14:01 BingoBoingo: And were you there before or after Micheal Brown was martyred in August 2014? Since then the city's gone into
a far more intense race war
a111: Logged on 2018-01-03 13:55 ReadErr: must be
a pretty serious thing if you can afford to do it fulltime for now
mircea_popescu: same reason us never managed to get restaurants as
a thing
mircea_popescu: it's rather likely the boys-best-friend calc went exactly the way of lassie. too expensive, and who is the terrorist reminding people that back in the 60s, every boy owned
a dog as training for when he'll own
a bitch.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-03 17:14 asciilifeform: phf: dunno that 'recursive' is the word. it's
a wholly ordinary iteration.

a111: Logged on 2018-01-03 17:07 phf: using the boolean we execute an if/else branch which either swaps the two numbers and drops the top most '_, or drops the top most without swapping _. the final drop _ is an artifact of conditional implementation that always leaves

a marvelous job at staying at the tip, and i suspect that my network slices have made transaction broadcasting more reliable, but This Ain't Science
a111: Logged on 2017-10-05 00:19 asciilifeform: here's
a choice lulzgem: 'One-location hammering is based on
a previously unknown Rowhammer effect. With one-location hammering, the attacker only runs
a Flush+Reload loop on
a single memory address at the maximum frequency. This virtually keeps the DRAM bank permanently open. We observed that one-location hammering drains enough charge from the DRAM cells to induce bit flips.'
