trinque: looks like they got
as much
as they could out of allah a while ago
assbot: Logged on 10-04-2015 19:57:02; ascii_field: trinque: why would any powerful man use himself
as another's rocket fuel? << in so long
as this is phrased this way in his head - never.
Chillum: then a freaking baboon walked by our table and gave us a nod
as it went by
ascii_field: what particular state religion is in use, is unimportant so long
as ufimtsev et al can do their thing.
mats: there is such a thing
as frictional force business you know
funkenstein_: seeing
as the same shit keeps coming up.. a certain amount of accepting what we have might be in order
trinque: chart a course towards the smallest of them, and towards selling it
as well
☟︎ ascii_field: and even less worthy of discussion,
as an individual.
ascii_field: even in so much
as it was necessary so that paul erdos could have a glass of milk.
ascii_field: no cow that lived so much
as 50 years ago is worth discussing
Chillum: not all applications call for security. I am making a device that uses a laser to detect a falling drop of water and triggers my camera just
as it is impacting in a pool
trinque: ascii_field | trinque: are you able to see value in the truth
as an abstract ? << I had the opportunity to work for a guy that thought the relational database should be central to operating system design
ascii_field: citing the failures that he and his ilk were responsible for,
as proof that problems cannot be solved.
ascii_field: 'that the protection stuff like checking array boundaries and pointer validity can be handled by the compiler just
as effectively
as it can in hardware, with the running product a lot faster and a lot simpler to build.' << imbecilic garbage
ascii_field: trinque: are you able to see value in the truth
as an abstract ?
ascii_field: trinque: why would any powerful man use himself
as another's rocket fuel? << in so long
as this is phrased this way in his head - never.
☟︎ ascii_field: Chillum: the only further comment i have for this is that you will be well-served to read up on actual scenarios resembling your hypothetical. rather then using 'zombie apocalypse' 3d shooters
as a mental model.
trinque: why would any powerful man use himself
as another's rocket fuel?
funkenstein_: one has to inherently weight the present
as more important, it's an endless problem
trinque: funkenstein_ | you might
as well ask how you make anyone care about what happens to themselves << no, this is automatic for me
funkenstein_: you might
as well ask how you make anyone care about what happens to themselves
ascii_field: the basic idea of the thread is that no one is willing to pay -
as in, -really- pay - for non-retarded things
ascii_field: trinque: i presently do something very vaguely similar to what you suggested, working for something that could be described
as an antivirus firm. and it eats most of my stamina.
Chillum: well
as far
as compact wealth that is fungible goes it cannot be beat. Bitcoins are great if there is still an internety
ascii_field: trinque: this fails because the subject of the thread is -
as i firmly believe - necessarily the work of -one mind.-
assbot: Logged on 30-08-2014 20:46:17; asciilifeform: but,
as every treatise on the subject invariably begins with, first try to understand what is to be hidden - and from whom
mircea_popescu: there is such a thing
as group delusion. that's how the french ended up with the urinals.
assbot: Logged on 07-04-2015 00:10:01; mircea_popescu: just like having a car doesn't alow having gasoline. it's true that often people who have cars also independently have gasoline, but the two are fundamentally unrelated, and there is such a thing
as the fool's breakdown, ie, car's outta gas on the side of hte road.
ascii_field: bits expensively stored
as charge on si ought to be available for computing asynchronously.
ascii_field: memory
as a device that just sits there, is a 20th c. idiocy.
ascii_field: gabriel_laddel: there is also such a thing
as the mental equivalent of stretched arse-rape sphincter
gabriel_laddel: Urbit is probably a good example for what I think stas is discussing. You can get paid very well so long
as you are very active doing nothing.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field that gets extremely easier once you fuck his gf. you notice the subtle difference between the same object
as he perceives it, and
as it is.
ascii_field: 'the eagle never lost so much
as when studied from the crow' or what was it
mircea_popescu: depends ben_vulpes. the problem chiefly is that
as the mental models get much better, learning speed collapses.
mircea_popescu: and
as nubbins would point out, not doing enough whippets.
mircea_popescu: in any case, this would present excellent cause to disallow acces of women trying to appear *
as women* in this field. either they learn how to be men or learn to live without participating in technology.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: not if 'arse covering' works
as well
as 'secure'
ascii_field: same
as the 'wriggleys gum' and plastification of industry
mircea_popescu: if this is true, which i still doubt but perhaps just
as an artefact of my limied circle, then the pill is simply destruction of the legal protections.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: don't get me wrong, i shall write again. and yes - for the archaeologists,
as before. but presently cut among 1) dayjob 2) s.nsa 3) sleep,eat,...,write
ascii_field: Yes, once upon a time, the "programmer" was a serious engineering profession with a shade of elite status. In those years, genuine mastery of certain technologies was demanded from him, and this was not attainable by all. Whereas today any Downs-syntrome-autist can call himself a programmer, because he has mastered the basics of redneck-coding and will work for food.
As for genuine professionals - like in many other
ascii_field: Or what remains - the other variant - to dive into the common flow of the sewers, and take hold of a passing piece of shit and feed upon it for the rest of one's pathetic life. Some are satisfied with this, just
as many are satisfied with the profession of the prostitute, the cleaner of latrines, a waiter in MacDuck, etc. But a more or less normal person begins to experience breakage in his value system, worldview;
ascii_field: The apprehension of one's inadequacy begins, of the futility of one's existence, the principal impossibility of fulfilling one's idiotic desires. But there is always a choice. If the first variant prevails, he will press on with self-improvement, the study of genuinely worthy technologies, on which there can be foundations for the creation of something better. And he will understand that no one needs him
as a smart-arse.
ascii_field: But the pathetic parody of a human does not grasp that it is not enough to have a cock's crest bachelor degree or to spoodge out a few pages of code at an olympiad, to become a programmer. In the course of this revelation, the lame abortus, reject of evolution, slowly begins to comprehend that the world is very much not
as he imagined it.
mircea_popescu: could
as well obey this law
as any other, and in the end none at all.
Chillum: What I mean is that just
as the religion of two people is irrelevant for marriage in the eyes of the law, so should be gender
Chillum: I think that law should not consider "gender" at all, leave it
as a social construct
mircea_popescu: a) it's not really
as much money
as you imagine and b) i forget.
assbot: Logged on 09-04-2015 20:13:46; ascii_field: can't speak for mats, but basic idea is that once you leave your meatwot, you are a fungible machine. this is a situation that,
as mats put it, 'resets you to entry level' - and overwhelmingly favours the very young
mircea_popescu: i guess re-reading this is ambiguous. did you mean "do to trezor"
as in, fixing ? or
as in, exploiting ?
ascii_field: ben_vulpes:
as a result, it is actually much easier to - usably - plant ada on 'bare metal' (sans os) than nearly anything else
mike_c: (
as i patiently wait for cardano)
mircea_popescu: "Upon leaving government service, Pope joined Sunrise Senior Living
as Director of Special Needs Assisted Living " << i wonder if they make her change adult diapers for the rest of her life now because of that incident.
PeterL: muslims are all on the other side of the state, western MI is about
as white
as they come
mircea_popescu: up to about 30something, a job no matter how stressful is no big deal
as long
as you actually sleep and eat.
BingoBoingo: I will offer the standard disclaimer that s.qntr shares are
as volatile
as fuck and we have no revenue yet
IHB: Tony Gaw is quoted
as being the founder, no LinkedIn profile or any other presence on the internet.
IHB: Laila Risan is listed
as the domain contact, She is located in Norway.
BingoBoingo: IHB: Yeah, qntra didn't have anything on them in particular because BTCgaw followed the exact same for
as a scam previously called out.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Yeah. Him and Pacquiao have just been doing old people set up fights these past few years, because boxing is uncompetitive
as hell
ascii_field: 'My real concern, of course, was not that he was using optimized data structures so much
as that he seemed on target to reintroduce numerical error back into a world that we had worked hard to make 'exact' (Macsyma used bignums from Lisp) or at least 'arbitrarily exact' (Macsyma had a derived type called 'bigfloat' that was internally a pair bignums, acting more or less
as a ratio but with lots of other hidden bits to
ascii_field: so he ended up
as a mad king of a small kingdom of sorts
ascii_field: the man is a crank who grew up
as 'next big physics mind' who ended up coming to nothing. but turned out that he was good at harnessing other folks to pull his imperial cart.
mircea_popescu: for that matter - electricity had a bad king, and it still sucks to this day,
as discussed yest
ascii_field: and before we say 'the americans and their wasted effort on pointless sigint' - let's recall how they set up a whole planet
as chumpers who can't access a sane computing system at any price...
ascii_field: mentionable, like everything else, so long
as the context is sufficiently obfuscated (or can be presumed to be unknown to the chumps)
ascii_field: not sure if this will make sense, but living
as a stupid -social- organism takes a lifetime of practice.
ascii_field: here i don't have a position
as such, only observations
ascii_field: one could argue that this is not true, and that 'there is still
as much work for systems engineers today
as in '70 - because nothing really works' - but '
as much work' does not mean '
as much employment'
mats:
as you know, a proper master is rare...
ascii_field: can't speak for mats, but basic idea is that once you leave your meatwot, you are a fungible machine. this is a situation that,
as mats put it, 'resets you to entry level' - and overwhelmingly favours the very young
☟︎ mats: after i clean this up imma start looking, but, i'm still 'entry level'
as far
as years-employed goes
ascii_field: i mentioned him at least once
as specifically an example of a particularly vile species sometimes called 'digerati'
☟︎ mircea_popescu:
as they cheapened and broadened they took their proper place. not because "there aren't real wearers anymore"
mircea_popescu: right. it's basically if they start putting on "
as seen in bash.bitcoin-assets.org" on shit long after we all left.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: who the fuck gets women off a menu << the fella with an already-assembled harem, such
as mircea_popescu ?
chetty: ascii_field, also know
as can't think outside the box
mircea_popescu: well... my tailor here'd prolly do it. it'd be weird
as all fuck... but hey.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: what i do have is 4 lcd laid out in such a way
as to fill my field of vision
mircea_popescu:
as in "what everyone does" normal or
as in "what should be done" normative-normal ?
ascii_field: i like moving eyeballs in y
as well
as x axis
mircea_popescu: actually trilema
as-is works better for ALL of these than pdf.
mircea_popescu: but fwiw, my experience
as an actual author is that the html format is WAY better than the pdf format for the web, which is why trilema is not delivered in pdfs.
