diana_coman rated mihi 1 << Wrote a Wireshark dissector script for Eulora protocol.
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman mine's been working on, i'm already at 6/50 clicks done!

diana_coman yes, and this is exactly my greater point here : competent people don't understand how to defend themselves from the tedx crowd, and don't. they're, basically speaking, dodo birds.
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman in principle, sure. so far as the matter stands, one man trained a bunch of record holders and the other man went around retezat in large groups. how the fuck even dare he take 51 persons over there ?
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman bullshit, yes. but this is a factual description of the world. you're gonna ignore it now ?
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman it's technical competence, not politicval competence.
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman yes, and this is exactly my greater point here : competent people don't understand how to defend themselves from the tedx crowd, and don't. they're, basically speaking, dodo birds.
☟︎ mircea_popescu:
diana_coman let's consider this : late april, you can go lower or higher. if you're competent you take your pick, if you are not competent and so can't follow the competent YOU DO NOT GO. you don't fucking go anyway, relying on your group numbers, and then of fucking course if you bigfoot about HIGHER than the other guys end up... causing an avalanche.
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman apparently the greenhorns stand accused of having actually ~caused~ the avalanche that claimed the experts ?
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman yeah they are pretty weird with that huh. /me reads
mod6: Thanks to
diana_coman for the help with gnuplot!
shinohai: Heh I remember reading
diana_coman 's article and spent whole weekend plotting shit and writing scripts
mod6: thanks a LOT to
diana_coman who helped me :]
mod6:
diana_coman: thanks, yw!
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman conceivably they left because nuclear family inhibited sexual maturation.
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman btw do you know the "just like mom used to make" joke ?
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman reportedly theyt looked like the result of a crashed failvan.
shinohai:
diana_coman: So maybe individually wrap the ingredients and ship them in a box along with a microwavable pan and instructions of which dividers to put them in
ben_vulpes:
diana_coman: one could skip the whole jump-into-pan step and ship everything in barely-there al 'cookware'
mircea_popescu: Framedragger this great stance happens to have been held for many years, sucyh as for instance when in 2010
diana_coman didn't sleep a weekend to liberate the ro min of edu's data.
Framedragger:
diana_coman: you are forgetting the detail where phuctor wasn't the first to do what it did.
Framedragger:
diana_coman: i don't believe that phuctor is *that* important, yes.
Framedragger:
diana_coman: do you take issue with any *particular* points, or just the "alphabetic ordering of names oh no"?
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman yeah, recall all the hissy fits about "oh this prof translated work, EVIL!11"
Framedragger:
diana_coman: i haven't read the method section yet but so far so good.
ben_vulpes: davout, trinque, mod6, mircea_popescu, danielpbarron,

diana_coman: lobbes, I'll gladly pay for the auction services in Eulora; Foxy's currently in a days-long craft so will have to wait for that to finish first though
a111: Logged on 2017-04-02 14:48 asciilifeform: the basic q for him, per
diana_coman earlier, 'who the hell ~are~ you, to ~speak~'

diana_coman: it seems that academia meanwhile went even faster downhill than I thought possible; at this rate it will soon produce colouring books and "educate" people on how pencils are not even good for much besides making marks on paper (for which one can use their hands anyway! there's one chapter on that plus 10 on history of mark-making and its perks)

diana_coman: asciilifeform, the "appeal" from an idiot perspective is "it's popular" ; that means that at some point (late, but anyways) they WILL find it appealing
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman this is a problem more fundamental than code. consider : well run us, relying on the wealth amassed by people whose toes today's imbeciles aren't qualified to kiss, the carnegies and rockefellers and etc of the golden age, readily allowed inept management the APPEARANCE of working, at least initially. 1970s us still appeared like it has a future, notwithstanding it had all the future of argentina. why ? because pi
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman nothing's obvious to the powerless. this is a pleonasm.
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman no see, she wants to have power. because she doesn't. and if you go into teaching you have power, because that's why they keep prosecuting them.

diana_coman rated lobbes 2 << Made a very useful bot for #eulora. He's very modest, too.

diana_coman: hm, the first thing I purposefully learnt when on skis was...how to fall; as in: how to fall *without* breaking anything etc
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman that's first thing half-decent horseriding instructor teaches you also.
mod6:
diana_coman, Framedragger: thanks
mircea_popescu: i dunno, it does some exporting gnarl.
diana_coman published a recipe, i can dig it up if you wish
trinque:
diana_coman: kinda depends on whether intelligence describes some internal property or is judged by others externally, which circles right back to the top of the thread.
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman after all, if the alternative investments weren't that, they'd naturally fold right in, becoming logreaders suo modo. in this view the "who are you" question reflects exactly this, "what of your previous investments is actually meaningful ?"
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman well, vanity in any light it didn't bring from home... does.
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman their alternative investments ; sum total thereof.
ben_vulpes: stack, for the curious: moar tests for v.pl (i'm writing them because my personal heap is too fragmented to make me a useful manual tester), read and compile a large and a small patch from asciilifeform, ops tasks in support of WIRES, gaze into the writhing horror
diana_coman needs a lasso around, and somewhere find an hour to finish up the import of phf's logs back to early 2016
deedbot:
diana_coman rated thestringpuller -1 << he puts conditions on others for "being useful" despite no evidence of ever *doing* something useful
thestringpuller:
diana_coman the sad thing is all the good gamedev code is sealed, especially after the mid 2000's renderware incident with EA.
ben_vulpes: ahaha
diana_coman i salute you that is some serious archaeology
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman can't get from point a to point b, what it usually means.
mod6:
diana_coman: well, i've got a box. my main focus has been getting these V changes put in. and pretty much think that's complete, but got a ton of testing in front of me.
mod6: <+
diana_coman> mod6, it was actually quite decent << right on. how've you been lately? how's eulorian things?
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman did you see that "amintiri din epoca de aur" antology ? there's a segment there re apartment gassing of pig.
Reuel: mircea_popescu,
diana_coman, re: your criticisms, I would say that, at the higher level, there is a choice in target audience, people who live democracy as implemented in the west and agree with it will find no trouble wasting time on a game like this, since it mimics familiar mechanisms (even if broken). In this particular channel, probably not enough ppl would be interested.

diana_coman rated phf 2 << Only known fault so far is making public the day he leaves for vacations.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ben_vulpes and davout are evidently struggling with the trb ; so was mod6 before we fucked up his week with v stuff ;
diana_coman is purging idiocy out of eulora and so on. plenty of people.

mircea_popescu:
diana_coman similarily, the life of the sane programmer is pretty unhappy. by comparison, java-machining-dotnet-etcetera dorks are very fucking happy, going from conference to conference to tell each other how fucking delicious the catered rubber chicken is, and how the 3 bedroom 1 bathroom atrocity is totally worth 1.3mn

diana_coman: well, I don't really think someone can live a very unhappy life due to *others'* expectations; at most due to his/her own

diana_coman: Framedragger, there is sex and there is gender; in other words, an individual woman can be more of a man than a specific, given man and the other way around;
Framedragger:
diana_coman: i see what you mean. at the end of the day if one cannot carve out existence on their own terms, they are doomed either way - this much i agree with. (also, i didn't really have a fleshed out point, thanks for clarifying things for me)
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman it's no good because they'll then say void main {void}
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman consider someone who has a perfectly functioning brain and no prior exposure to programming.
pete_dushenski:
diana_coman: the "results" of "real hackathons" ? some lulz and some memories of "that one time" mostly.
mircea_popescu:
diana_coman consider - there isn't a general statement of "what is it exactly {} do". this is already a fine and complete statement.
