cazalla: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-06-2015#1170296 <<< perhaps this explains the recent avalanche black cock tumblr images? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: amusingly, plenty of usians are becoming quite end-of-world italians these days
mircea_popescu: im fully unconvinced by all this complicated, farcical, cinquecento-ish "string of instruments" puppet theatre.
asciilifeform: (a thesis he stole from 'the death of the american city')
asciilifeform: mr mold, for his part, does eventually admit that the black mobs were an instrument of somebody quite else
mircea_popescu: and i am pointing out that in that story... the author's side is abominable, and the story doesn't even credibly flow as he claims.
mircea_popescu: the discussion i'm derrinding, with "A's and B's" pretends there is
asciilifeform: ussr tried to take 'the black side', result was comical
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: thing is, taking a side requires there ~being~ a side.
mircea_popescu: shoulda shot the whole lot of niggers up.
mircea_popescu: no, the boers were the hardy folk there.
asciilifeform: iirc they did this
asciilifeform: welcome to zimbabwe ?
mircea_popescu: i honestly, if i had to pick, would side with the "evil niggers" and beat the shit out of the pesky internet-addled "civilised" folk.
asciilifeform: i can admit some explanation of 'why burned' but to say that 'had nothing to do with it' is a tall glass to drink
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: didja visit the charred ruins left over from the folks for whom 'violence has nothing to do with it' burned to the ground ?
mircea_popescu: violence got nothing to do with it, it's a convenient scapegoat. like 13 yo girls claiming they don't want to associate with boys because they smell, rather than the obvious "my vagina's not yet developed enough"
mircea_popescu: saying "nigger" is trolling ?
mircea_popescu: they are running away from their own sexual impotence.
mircea_popescu: maybe south carolina. thereabouts
mircea_popescu: the incident in question where they assaulted some schmuky blond kid (and the police had to come - i wouldn't have bothered) was iirc alabama
mircea_popescu: i dun need you to show me the port quarter. can find on own
mircea_popescu: you recall, i traveled the polace by bus ? hung out with black dudes in the back of greyhounds ? ☟︎
asciilifeform took the 'grandest' version of this tour once, in an old armoured wagen
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: come to usa incognito (parachute?) sometime, i'll take you on a tour of 'what they escaped'
trinque: asciilifeform: ah I don't buy that; the hairbrained thing it was doing is in that bug thread, I think
mircea_popescu: fucking bullshit. the dicklets are fleeing to escape their own ~sexual~ impotence.
mircea_popescu: "Large areas of X, including entire major cities, have been ethnically cleansed by the departure of class-B people fleeing class-A violence."
asciilifeform: and does ~not~ today on no fault of its own
trinque: doesn't mean it was any good then
asciilifeform: fuck that. 'mathematician code' or not, it FUCKING WORKED IN 2011
trinque: one more on the pile of "needs to be rewritten by non-mathemetician"
trinque: sounds like the build system for it is totally fucked
asciilifeform: so culprit is to be found, and fed into woodchipper
asciilifeform: at some point since - i'm told - stopped
asciilifeform: it built on by box and runs there.
trinque: asciilifeform: I lobbied the maintainer to patch the thing so it'd build
asciilifeform: (other than corpse of 'diehard'. which is obvious)
trinque: I'm beginning to see that mathemetician-code is a thing.
assbot: Bug 531268 – app-crypt/dieharder-3.31.1 - In file included from bits.c:7: /usr/include/unistd.h:1043:20: error: unknown type name 'intptr_t' ... ( http://bit.ly/1TEE9tE )
trinque: asciilifeform: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=531268 << "Ugly hack was added to dieharder-3.31.1-r1." hehehe
cazalla: continued even.. anyway cosmo forget the rest.. get ur bitcoin on
cazalla: mircea_popescu, lol so is the contined "x is doing something interesting"
cosmo: at least you're not the kickban type
mircea_popescu: put some substance in the vapid verbiage oy.
cosmo: bitshares seems to be doing an interesting job with pegged assets
cazalla: its creators and followers are super keen to sell their 2.0 creation for bitcoin
cosmo: and what's that cazalla ?
cazalla: cosmo, whether bitshares, ppc, ethereum's ether etc etc, they all have one thing in common
mircea_popescu: you're too new here to say "i"
cosmo: i like what they're doing but i'm not sure how their 'shares' or coins or whatever are minted/distributed
mircea_popescu: it was memory holed at the time, and not well known since.
assbot: O bucatica de istorie, sau 1907 din primavara pina in toamna, de Ion Luca Caragiale on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1TECwfC )
mircea_popescu: it is excellent, on one hand because the man is supremely qualified - he is, no doubts about it, he who wrote romania's software, since the kingdom days - and because he actually lived it and saw it, and its context. top notch historical primary source.
asciilifeform: dont think so
asciilifeform: (of which europe saw fuck knows how many, and all ended exactly the same way)
asciilifeform: and the question of what differentiates a proper war from an idiot jaquerie
mircea_popescu: must suck to not have a clue.
mircea_popescu: first comment, too.
asciilifeform: (as in, what makes it more interesting from an engineering perspective than white light)
mircea_popescu: "Ian Smith could never have achieved any political prominence in prewar Britain, because his origins were decidedly middle-class": what, unlike Ramsay MacDonald, who was the bastard son of a farm servant, and twice PM?
asciilifeform: and, for that matter, last week's question about coherent laser light
asciilifeform: which brings back to the 'die in the van' thing
mircea_popescu: which is in no part active because an intelligent being somewhere has failed to feed it crap for decades now
decimation: only bothered if they manage to overpower your similiarly active immune system
mircea_popescu: i don't seem to be much bothered by either, but sure.
asciilifeform: (or to cockroaches?)
asciilifeform: so perhaps world belongs - to them.
asciilifeform: e.coli may not be very clever, but they have 'active' down pat.
mircea_popescu: yes, it is better to be smart and active than it is to be stupid and active.
assbot: "Why I am not a white nationalist" on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1TEBrV7 )
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2013/why-i-am-not-a-white-nationalist/#selection-933.0-933.687 << related, mostly because of the "The world belongs to the active, not to the thoughtful."
asciilifeform: (leaving aside, even, the question of just ~what kind~ of non-inaction he would advocate..)
asciilifeform: what would this even look like?
asciilifeform: ^ speaking of which, brings back to the point of whether mr mold is a disinfo agent. not that i can say definitively, but imho the best argument that he is not, is the difficulty of formulating a picture of a hypothetical 'moldbug minus the restraint' who does ~not~ advocate inaction
assbot: Logged on 29-08-2014 00:38:19; mircea_popescu: "This should be reason enough for anyone to avoid taking up cudgels on behalf of either."
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=29-08-2014#813861 << the previous pass through that thing if anyone gas. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: most people wouldn't hire girls what went to school for the longest time.
mircea_popescu: amusingly, it existed on the porn sets too.
asciilifeform: where god help you if you have, say, uni degree and history of serious technical work, and suddenly need to make ends meet by digging trenches, washing dishes, etc
mircea_popescu: the difficulty's not in question. the difficulty of finding wet cunts biweekly for the rest of your life is even more burdensome
asciilifeform: the difficulty of 'emulate stupid for the rest of your life' is likely the reason for the infamous u.s. police dept. which figured in a lawsuit where some schmuck was rejected from police academ for scoring too high on 'iq test'
asciilifeform: phun phakt: when i worked in u.s. army, a guard on the campus did just that
mircea_popescu: your type of intelligent person is not unlike the guard that shoots himself on the third day, because bored.
mircea_popescu: just as long as he doesn't wiggle them into kicks to his shn
asciilifeform: the result, in best case, tends to be something like mr mold.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: fact is, folks who are placed in the unenviable position of 'emulate stupid' still try to use their mind. just like a prisoner in solitary cell, who theoretically does not really need legs for much of anything, will still wiggle them around
asciilifeform: pronounced the way davout did, or more like 'gulp' ?
mircea_popescu: hence "<mircea_popescu> yes well, the understandings of the crowd as to the justification of rules is made for the comprehension needs of the crowd, not for the expressive needs of the rules."
mircea_popescu: and no, stupid folks are perpetually asked to run smart on emulator, and they don't even have one.
mircea_popescu: for how long would you personally be willing to run a chip on the breadboard ?
asciilifeform: keep in mind that this is considerably more than is ever asked of stupid folks
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: for how long would you personally be willing to 'run stupid on emulator' ?
decimation: but I would also note that 'come be an inside reformer' is also a usg recruitment trick
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in any case, i had to spend half my fucking life yelling at people that "the difference between stupid and smart is that stupid can't be smart, BUT SMART CAN BE STUPID. IF YOU'RE UNWILLING TO EVER BE STUPID YOUR SMART'S JUST ANOTHER FLAVOUR OF DUMB!1111"
asciilifeform: the exceptions - we don't even get to hear about.
decimation: asciilifeform: yes, imagine that you were a 'closet dissenter' working for the fed. the most 'reform' you could get away with would be symbolic at best
asciilifeform: thinking folks, faced with 'chop wood in magadan or prostitute for the party' tend to end up 'getting down on knees, ready to please'
assbot: Logged on 20-06-2015 23:17:19; asciilifeform: but no, he wants to use what the gods gave him.
asciilifeform: and the basic root is http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-06-2015#1170141 ☝︎
