asciilifeform: The Trooo Ultimate Ro Dict prolly oughta be a sexpr
mircea_popescu: making you a major cultural player, in the vein of dead people.
asciilifeform: that's separate item tho. it's a толковый словарь
mircea_popescu: so in this sense, having a harem of galon-boobed females is the ~only sort-of get-out-of-jail-card for http://trilema.com/2012/cine-se-casatoreste/ problem,
mircea_popescu: anyway, getting briefly back to http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-20#1740875 : the importance of big boobs in women is exactly this : if you make the decision to forced march through desert, the offspring of A-cup camp followers will die ; DD and so forth will survive -- female body will melt the tit into nothing before letting kid starve, whole process driven by that one true whip of the female psyche, the child-dying-of-hunger ☝︎
asciilifeform: was far from his home element, if a slave.
asciilifeform: i was stuck on a plane with that d00d, pretty far gone case
mircea_popescu: yes but rarely will a us born esl fellow wriote his angst under the correct piece.
mircea_popescu: but yes, was kinda sad it went nowhere, he certainly made a something out of nothing.
mircea_popescu: anyway, srsly, married guy with small kids. gotta bring home some kind of bacon. he tried to put that idea into work, with you recall, betting something. imo did a great run of it, too. but it didn't catch. so he tried something else and that caught better.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and that helps anything ? i'd rather marry the whore the brothel uses to advertise than a different, "secret" one.
asciilifeform: it is possible to work in the saeculum without having one's face plastered on a sad sack of sad rogue's gallery tho
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-20#1740838 << i dunno, what explaining'd be there ? "they offered a job and i... took it". pretty sure his previous spot sucked arse, guy was getting stress blisters. family man, gotta provide, what. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: good to have a blog, i routinely forget shit i did, then i end up confronted with it and im like... hey. pretty cool!
mircea_popescu: and so, to get back to it, and in the words of the great nigger Hussein Bahamas, "if you did a thing you didn't do that thing". therefore matt blaze neither was touched nor could have been touched by anyone, be they john drapper or anyone else ; nor has matt blaze had published anything of any note, re ciphers or cooking or anything else.
mircea_popescu: that nsa chose to publish some derpage through usg.nsa.x-shithead or through usg.nsa.y-shithead is not a meaningful point of difference.
mircea_popescu: right so : usg remora. nothing any http://trilema.com/2015/more-factored-rsa-keys-and-assorted-other-considerations/#selection-413.0-419.38 / http://trilema.com/2016/psa-hanno-bock-still-a-deceitful-shitbag/ "publishes" may be credited to them.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the odd thing re blaze is that , unless there was a completely other matt blaze working for at&t -- he's the d00d with the only published attempt at a provably hard symmetric cipher , in 1990s
mircea_popescu: (windows got a sort of monopoly for banking there, it's hysterical what stack they run)
a111: Logged on 2017-11-19 14:51 BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> (apparently okcupid went full app-shit sometime in the interval also ?) << The website has increasingly little to hook, and is increasingly poorly populated. Last week Uruguay had 4 girls, now has 2. Extrapolating from Uruguay's 4 million population this means ~35000 girls is all okc has left. Been in decline for a while, but now fallen sharply.
a111: 2017-09-11 <mike_c> congrats! I did that a long time ago too. Good luck with it.
asciilifeform: aint that a thing that only grows in equator
mircea_popescu: in other wtfs, girl opens jar, a scent of paradise fills kitchen. i go over to investigate. the item is helpfully labeled : melaza. ie, molasses.
asciilifeform: afaik a quality 'expressions' dict dun exist for any modern lang. it's a tricky item.
mircea_popescu: it misses so many of the most trite expressions it's not worth mentioning as a dictionary anyway, much in the way a "map" of texas that only had dallas.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform lots of good ones missing. "i-a picat fata" (his face fell off) ; "a dat cu mucii-n fasole" (he snotted the refried beans) ; "iti pica fisa ?" (does the coin inserted into your coinslot actually fall through the spuriously complex machinery inside your otherwise empty skull to make the necessary contacts ?) ; "a freca menta" (mintrubbing, absent ?! gimme a break!) ; "ai morcov [in fund] ?" (to have a carrot [up
asciilifeform: because apparently when caesar lived totally belongs, according to these folx, in a dictionary.
asciilifeform: oh btw i cut some truly egregious nonsense from orig item : it had a coupla dozen 'dates of life of great people'
mircea_popescu: "12 este divizibil prin 2`12 is divisible by 2" holy shit. there are some useful expressions in the expression item, however a) very low snr, lots of useless crap and b) idiomatics not really a good fit for dictionary, much better fit in blog articles.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform how many lines the expression item ? (tech i will asume worthl;ess sight unseen -- bot didn't write a ro tech dictionary and ~nobody else was qualified to)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform here's a lulz for you : before making the fain@polimedia item discussed in logs recently ( http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-28#1730110 etc) i actually attempted a... ro dictionary full rewrite. was called "adex". ☝︎
mircea_popescu: leveraged human thought to a degree not seen before nor, honestly speaking, conceivable without the example./
mircea_popescu: in a totally meta-point : can you BELIEVE how INCREHEHEHEEEEDIBLY useful our whole infrastructure actually is ?
a111: Logged on 2016-11-29 14:43 phf: we had a thread when diff was first discussed as a way to do patches (i think maybe before even v), where i was erring on the side of no unicode support on the grounds that if we decide to support unicode we have to, to borrow asciilifeforms, drink the whole spittoon
asciilifeform: the hilarious bit : the orcogram in question is a ~short stroke~
a111: Logged on 2016-12-23 14:55 mircea_popescu: suppose we had a rule stating that "all patches must include as a comment the patch upon they are to be applied" ?
a111: Logged on 2016-11-29 14:36 mircea_popescu: speaking of above article, can i get a commitment to never signing any V material which includes any non-ascii characters ? BingoBoingo diana_coman hanbot trinque mod6 danielpbarron mircea_popescu mike_c asciilifeform davout ben_vulpes phf jurov
a111: Logged on 2017-04-07 18:25 mircea_popescu: as a general rule, people who can't produce genus/difference definitions for all the symbols in their own output are better off not thinking yet, as what they think thinking is isn't.
a111: Logged on 2017-07-22 21:51 mircea_popescu: so i joined the whores going to the gym. my first time in a gym at that! it was discovered that yes i'm a lot more powerful than they are, but i have neither the flexibility nor the endurance.
a111: Logged on 2017-07-22 21:11 asciilifeform: at the cost of a bit of log clutter, let's indulge asciilifeform's crackpottery, and lay out 妓 ( U+5993 : whore ) :
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-20#1545815 << fucking unicode, nothing but a means to oppress the only elements of any group that actually matter. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: as per teh logic of the venerable http://trilema.com/2014/namecheap-goes-off-the-deep-end-anyone-know-a-decent-domain-registrar/ : insert ways for me to demean women in your "novel standard" as the first list of must-haves, because the ~possiblity~ of demeaning women is fundamental to any workable communication system. not inserting them isn't going to forward your political agenda ; it's going to simply precipitate a http://

mircea_popescu: "+cardinalitate, posibilitate a unui sistem informatic de a reactiona simultan diferite operatii`cardinalidad" << "cardinality, the possiblity of an informatic system to simultaneously react different operations".
a111: Logged on 2016-02-25 17:12 phf: i've been mulling over that question with logs. fwiw, entire log can be kept in memory for analysis, annotation, whatever, 180mb as utf-8 byte arrays. with unicode strings takes up twice the memory on 16-bit cmucl, and ~~4 times on 32-bit sbcl. i'm not yet convinced that transcoding everything you get into string and then transcoding it back to a bytearray onto the wire is the best strategy
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-19#1740662 << it is as best i can tell a ~complete~ list. which yes, it's how romanian sinonymy works, you get 1k for whore etc. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: also, my policy re "diacritics" as they're called is that i don't write them, but i don't actually bother to take em out from text i touch. so there's all sorts of ro literature i fixed on my blog, where it's quite evident what the original author contributed and what i put in, because the rotards are very much into this "currently correct romanian notation is alphabet + 5, down from alphabet + 12 a century ago, and THIS MATT

For example, "wget -pk --user-agent="" -e robots=off --wait 1 http://archive.is/MiJ5U" yields a handful of .pngs and nothing else. Versus just wget-ing the actual trilema item with the same options yields a perfectly usable local copy ☝︎
asciilifeform doesn't plan to spend a long time needing one , but currently will admit to it

mircea_popescu: mmm, i dunno that we have a gentoo equivalent of this deeded anywhere.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: "whatever it is you're building" is "gentoo", and what goes into that is still a mystery to me
asciilifeform: it does if you magicize a compiled gcc sure
ben_vulpes: doesn't gcc itself count as a magic binturd?
asciilifeform: ( yes i could post a known-worked stage3. but eww )
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i'd like to find a pill for this problem that doesn't involve preserving a magic binturd in amber
ben_vulpes: i don't really know how to apply your use flags to the creation of a new gentoo then. i do have an older gentoo box that is pretty faithful to the crapolade flags, has gcc but don't really have a map for making that produce a root fs that i can put on another box or what even the correct way to go about doing what i want to do
ben_vulpes: more likely i made a mistake
asciilifeform: stage3 method ( the only one supported by post-infiltration gentoo ) is a tar fulla binturds
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i did that, but i believe that 5 snuck in from stage3. at the time i got loads of errors about 5 being present on the system in violation of use flag specification, attempted to purge but this did not result in a usable box somehow
ben_vulpes: "step 1: build a gentoo five years ago"

ben_vulpes: i couldn't find a stage3 with 4.9 on it when i needed it for this machine, and so got 'phuqed'
ben_vulpes: hey trinque do you still have that script for "infectious gentoo"? i might be able to get my old closet iron with 4.9 to build a respectable userland ☟︎
