mircea_popescu: (significantly harder, ofcourse, but at
the
time most everyone was used
to manual
typewriters, which is maybe 10x
the force anyone born after 1980
types with)
mircea_popescu: but
the
tim-s was decent, about on par with
today's no name chinese kbd
mircea_popescu: the hc had a very retarded arrangement, where
the straight rather
than /-\ shaped keys caught, and so on.
mircea_popescu: the
tim-s had a decent, steel spring actioned keyboard
mircea_popescu: well minus
the monitor and deck
tape, which are random items
mircea_popescu: what was
the name of
that derpy french knownothing
the english world went all gaga over earlier
this year ?
mircea_popescu: anything but
that.
the chinese paid with slaves later on, and it
took.
mircea_popescu: in any shape or form
the deal would have been a
tech
transfer, not an item sale.
mircea_popescu: because idiot's main concern is whether
this makes
the other guy better
than him
mircea_popescu: the reason "export controls" work is
that idiots perceive
themselves as ~equal
to everyone else.
mircea_popescu: what, you
think women pop out smart people now or something ? what is
this,
the spherical future ?
mircea_popescu: dude, i had
to be
the first one
to show
the concept of a map
to random cairo cab driver.
mircea_popescu: if his desperation of
the world meant what it usually means, he'd be long gone.
mircea_popescu: if he were not desperate ~of
the world~ he would be pursuing a career.
mircea_popescu: it is meaningless
to speak of a revolutionary's desperation.
mircea_popescu: recall
the case of
the british
terrorist who used caesar cypher because "excel smarter
than anything
the gyauri could have invented" ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform apparently
the prophet is said
to have forbidden, by some
twerps
mircea_popescu: just, one admits
to himself he's filth,
the other does not.
mircea_popescu: and yes hearn is a better political animal
than gavin, but not more intelligent
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ayup,
they are very singlemindedly following
their
talking pointsa.
trinque: asciilifeform: your and other material has long since disabused me of
the idea
that I'll own a computer any
time soon
assbot: Logged on 12-06-2015 22:28:57;
trinque: ascii_field:
thanks for
the link
to pcengines; very interesting
to me for a variety of uses
trinque: asciilifeform:
the github repo says "this is so
totally not about blocksize"
assbot: Logged on 12-06-2015 22:17:19; shinohai: suppoae i wish
to ignore xt nodes by default
mircea_popescu: minigame will always release a "reference client", but i'd frankly love for people
to make
their own.
mircea_popescu: anyway, fwiw,
the
thinking minigame side is
that if
there's
three or four independently maintained clients which each does its own
thing
that's perfect.
mike_c: yeah, i'll have
to
take another crack at compiling
this
thing
cazalla: oh boy
this article is gonna be a good one
trinque: doesn't seem like
they're amused by
the "pivot"
jurov: yes, if ~
then i'll do
the irc stuff in py,
too. but
then have
to bundle python in win32 package,
too
mike_c: so
the plan would be
to modify client in someway
that would
then support python scripting
jurov: seems
that feature was left
to rot
jurov: just found scripting support in cs and after some diddling, compiled and ran
tutorial app
mike_c: jurov: have you been able
to write a python script
that'll do something in
the game?
mircea_popescu: people who use money are fundamentally different
than
the sort of bovines sturggling with us college education.
mircea_popescu: "anyone" is a particularly inept model. it presumes
the world composed of imbecile 20somethings like one finds on reddit.
Bob32442: Maybe I should read
the rest of it lol
Bob32442: so... wait,
then why does anyone use bitcoin if
they
think
that's going
to happen?
Bob32442: hmm, I don't get
the cap, why is it
that it can't be removed?
jurov: danielpbarron: could say sooner
the claims are
there. i just logged in
today and let it be.
danielpbarron: the learning curv is very steep with eulora,
to
the point where it's a chore
to get going with it. But once I had a few
things figured out it is now becoming addictive
danielpbarron: well.. "last night" .. "very very early
this morning"
