danielpbarron: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-04#1763541 << sure, send me some and i'll see what i can do ☝︎
gabriel_laddel: am trying to get passport so I can just show YOU rather than fking around with low-fidelity comms
gabriel_laddel: I am catching up on logs now, but until now have not bought into V whatsoever.
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: I have not followed anything diana_coman has done, whatsoever.
gabriel_laddel: FTR: what I bring to the table is the closest thing to LISPM available, and direction + productive discussion for those already down the rabbit hole. Non-alices need not apply. ☟︎
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"
a111: Logged on 2017-12-29 21:30 mircea_popescu: here's 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
gabriel_laddel: trinque are there some local kids I can pay to ship me some senegalia berlandie?
mircea_popescu: nothwithstanding that bb opened the pot talk, there's the problem that if i want to point to something to explain what you do to an innocent third party, i don't know where to, gabriel_laddel
gabriel_laddel: dumbass. the reason I say nothing is because there is nothing to say about it other than "WIP". What, you need to hear about how pleased I am with (ALIAS 'f 'cl::defun)? gtfo'
gabriel_laddel: pity. I was going to ask you what you know about there coca plants.
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: ben_vulpes: By kids I mean the small homeless children.
gabriel_laddel: ben_vulpes I destroyed my machines, usb sticks using the BART track before leaving. recover my harddrive bitches.
gabriel_laddel: I can get it from customer was pasting to then
gabriel_laddel: I dropped some code in there I'd like to not rewrite. Destroyed old machines on traintracks before leaving CA...
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!
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.
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
trinque: I dunno; wouldn't be a bad thing for someone to investigate if there's a sickly <-> pantsuit correlation
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.
mircea_popescu: i dunno who listens to these shitheads.
ben_vulpes: no really, you're crying because he got dinged and not because you didn't get the raise? i am so very convinced.
ben_vulpes: and in riotously amusing equalitarianism and whocouldapredictedz: "After the committee ruled in her favor, the municipality lowered the man's wages to Ms. Sigfusdottir's level. 'I went home crying,', she said in an interview. 'I would never have gone forward with the case knowing it would only lead to my colleague receiving less."
asciilifeform: if there are -- i dun know of any. yet.
asciilifeform: whenever i work on 'entropy' i get the uncomfortable suspicion that i am working with a phlogiston
mircea_popescu: well, i guess we break out the metaphors. suppose you're now a vintner.
asciilifeform: well obviously cuz i'm missing sumthing
asciilifeform: i'ma have to eat the 'not bias!' answer. even tho it leaves me without a clean analysis-flavoured picture of why successive rounds of faircoin improve entropy metrics across-the-board (regardless of what litmus is chosen)
phf: anybody know how to refresh gnu screen's config remotely? i set `escape ^))` which apparently doesn't work
mod6: oh i gotta check out ch5!
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-03#1763181 << i luled. ☝︎
mod6: i never did get sha1 of my tape to equal anyone elses that were posted tho
mod6: <+asciilifeform> but yes phf's algo -- worx. << I came up with same: ``<{'_}{_}_ (n-1)
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i mean, you know, 20 layers of bunk.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo dude when i was your age i jumped INTO a chicks bunk.
mircea_popescu: ftr, i think it's bandiDos, bb
ReadErr: i cant throw a baseball so id probably die
ReadErr: i always liked, arc, velocity etc
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".
mircea_popescu: i suppose...
asciilifeform: i suspect that almost any chore, in measured doses, is somebody's hobby somewhere.
mircea_popescu: in there with "i gnaw at my own prepuce and shove nail clippings into my lacrimal ducts" sorta "fun"
mircea_popescu: nfi who'd throw grenades recreationally, but i suspect the reason it's part of mental diagnosis is because it's so fucking unfun, you have to have serious issues to think otherwise.
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 can't imagine who has the energy/resources even. but...
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"
phf: mircea_popescu: i go to burning man related parties, i'm unfortunately very familiar with what "kink scene" is. at this point using any relevant terminology as applied to self is suspect.
mircea_popescu: mechanism to "loosen out the pressure", if you will, ie textbook social dynamic. if you want context see ice cube & butt buddy interaction with their landlady's son in that abomination i referenced recently, wtf was 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"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i pictured 'knockout' as vaguely like the thing where bratva would 'lose a man at cards'
mircea_popescu: for her oh-so-precious evaluation of things, that's why the world exists, so she can say "i rate this very good and interesting" ; then there they sit like so many manatees, "i am kinky and what's an entry point?!"

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-03#1763220 << since for some reason nobody's said it yet, i will admit that it is ordinary 'bubble sort' ☝︎
mircea_popescu: 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 ? ☝︎☟︎

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i've always liked ~good~ pocket calcs. ( not as a comp replacement, or a head replacement, but exactly as a 'tactile arithmetization' plaything. ) but no good ones have been made in decade+ or i expect ever will be again.
ben_vulpes: not only that but it doesn't display 8 decimal places naively, and i don't care to figure out how to fixit, so it got binned on the spot.
ben_vulpes: so i dug this ti-89 platinum out of my closet last night to have something tactile to do arithmetic on and holy shit i'd completely forgotten about the input lag ☟︎
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-03#1763202 << i've been thinking of abolishing the artifact where a 0 stays on the stack after the 'else' branch. it'd require only 1 extra state variable ( a WBool ) ☝︎☟︎☟︎
ben_vulpes: mine's been doing 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
asciilifeform: ( and PeterL when he comes , i will ask this also )
phf: oh hey, PeterL also did an optimization that i didn't notice at the time
asciilifeform: phf: i'ma look, 1s
phf: asciilifeform: oh hey so i posted my solution on chapter 5, and this time around i have an id: 18558
phf: so i pulled an old iphone out of storage for travel, and discovered that half the ips it gets are klined on freenode. at least from nyc
asciilifeform: ^ though i'ma nitpick, i actually ~had~ ( nao sold, ty phf ! for finding buyer ) a symbolics 3620 ; and it beat the shit out of the 2000s crapples, winblowz boxen, etc, at least subjectively. ( i did not obtain a 1000fps camera, unlike in the experiment claimed by linked item )
ReadErr: I mean, real talk, i would settle on a flashbang too
ReadErr: i wan to go to a country that lets you toss live grenades ☟︎

BingoBoingo: ReadErr: http://www.thedrinkingrecord.com/ for updates on the journey here. Disregard the name. I've been sober for a couple years now.
BingoBoingo: Here the locals say Ciuda Vieja is dangerous at night. I walk around there at night. Very safe. Just a bunch of idle dorks sitting around.
ReadErr: now i mean
ReadErr: i could see that

BingoBoingo: ReadErr: Well after a prolonged search for an acceptable ISP to host servers, not a single one in the world was found. So I was sent to Montevideo to work with a datacenter to start one.

danielpbarron: sorta why i did 0.01, no tits ;<
danielpbarron: i used that search to print out a stack of papers to post in a co-workers office, got fired.
danielpbarron: it used to work well, when i could reply to "celebrities" and have my reply get top billing

danielpbarron: trinque, it finished but my rapid enter hitting caused it to default the user creation part, and i've yet to chroot back in to fix it
