mircea_popescu: doesn't it strike ytou as way
the fuck easier
to lop some bits of fabric off a hip,
than some heads off ?
mircea_popescu: irrespective of blather as
to how "he doesn'\t want
to" or "his mother is
too old for lashing" or anything else.
mircea_popescu: same exact fucking reason i
think very little of
the shah of brunei.
thre's a word for
the man who can't keep his household in line, and
that word is "boy"
mircea_popescu: that's besides
the point. poorly regarded because
the woman had panties on.
mircea_popescu: why schmuck ? i dunno, cuz multiple
topless women, some of which crying, in my very kitchen. nor do
the pantsuit fucking dare mention my highness by name or anything ?
a111: Logged on 2016-08-02 16:13 mircea_popescu: phf allow me
to quote
to you from modern
tolkien : "The heir apparent, Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn, is poorly regarded in
Thailand and
the succession has clouded
the brows of not only
the
Thai political elite, but
the
Thai people, who believe a period of substantial instability will follow
the King's death"
mircea_popescu: dun
tell me
this became meanwhile your examplar of non-habsburgated.
mircea_popescu: you mean
the idle schmuck
that had a
topless wife for an occasion once and
they all
threw a ridoinculous fit ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: yes but
this also chisels your stand on existence all
the way into nothingness.
mircea_popescu: you can visit oxford
today ; it stands with ye olde habsburg court in a situation of pure equivalency, and with abandoned seashells just as much.
mircea_popescu: what,
the idea's habsburgs disappeared really whereas oxford mystically and
thus all
the same disappeared ?

then reality sets in when so happens you want a faucet fixed, or
tooth capped, or
to buy power brick for lappy' etc
mircea_popescu: "CEO Bennett Greenspan claims his desire
to [...] live out his fantasy of being Batman without
the risk of getting punched" << oh, but how aptly put!
a111: Logged on 2019-02-02 17:18 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's not like
the republic is ~avoidable~.
mircea_popescu: (this is engineered
to count as an insult, because supposedly, or at least by
the lights of deeply inept femtards a la virgina woolfe,
this guy "hated women" because wasn't sufficiently something or
the other ; and so proposing
that women'd benefit off his book is like,
totally, oh noes.)
mircea_popescu: of
the latter, same fond of idiocy offers a restatement of an gallingly anonymous "If
the reader is not particular about grammar and style, and is judiciously suspicious of dates, he, or more likely she, will derive both amusement and profit from Mr Browning's pages"
mircea_popescu: of
the former, wikipedia says "He
took much interest in sport at Eton, and
the high standard of rowing which
the Eton eights attained was due in a large measure
to his coaching. His 45 years' connexion with Eton
thoroughly identified him with its
traditions and ideals, and, without being remarkable either as a scholar or as a
teacher, he wielded a personal influence which has seldom been surpassed. "
mircea_popescu: edmond warre (a man of absolutely no accomplishment, either intellectual or social, but merely an avid ~rowsman~, am activity
the deeply ~coerced~ atmosphere at oxford "respected", much in
the way sovoks "respected" marx) met pesonally (and sacked) oscar browning (a man of arguably
the greatest intellectual, scholarly, and undoubtedly social accomplishment oxford of his
time -- and perhaps in all
time ever -- knew).
a111: Logged on 2019-02-02 18:23 asciilifeform: let's hear about
the excluded counters ? e.g. is
there a dynasty still going somewhere for 1000y
that never enhabsburgated into idiocy ?
mircea_popescu: this unseemliness will have
to be resolved at some point
trinque: if
that's correct,
the ebuild for same is going
to need
to be able
to bootstrap with whomever's own external gnat.
trinque: asciilifeform: looks like ave1's script will bootstrap for you with a downloaded gnat, but
the downloaded gnat wants
to live on a glibc system. happily building on such.
pehbot: asciilifeform: EGGOG: Pos: 4:
There is no Register 'f' !
diana_coman: that's pretty much
the crux of it: "infinite" comes with cost of heapism baked in, no choice
mircea_popescu: didn't seem controversial
to me either ; but still, now it's also published.
mircea_popescu: the whole point being,
that if you use
threading properly, which is
to say --
to implement workers which eat from a queue --
then you will ahve
to ~somehow count
therm~.
that count can be either static or dynamic, and it seems
the case
that dynamic count's a losing proposition.
diana_coman: asciilifeform, it IS stock ada
tasks, sure; it's not
that
the q
mircea_popescu: this is much cheaper
to maintain, code-wise,
than some attempt at an otherwise useless "infinity" ; and in
the situation where software's not really expected
to work "by itself", ie, will always have someone in charge,
the cost of "well, if situations change, alter
the value and recompile" doesn't seem an overwhelming cost.
mircea_popescu: now, it seems
to me
the case
that since
there's little benefit in having more
threads
than cores, it is perfectly acceptable (in
this situation)
to hold
these in an array set as
to whatever maximum is reasonable. 32 or 64 or whatever count.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: this is of general interest as i don't expect eulora
to be
the last republican item with
threads in it.
mircea_popescu: since we're doing adaisms : it came before
the minigame board
that we have
to make some specific decisions re
the
threading model.
trinque: right,
thought his script bootstrapped with binary gnat or something. perhaps I'm mistaken
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform latin america much more nation
than spain,
that's for damn sure.
mircea_popescu: whereas us barbarian, because never actually raised its head out of its ass
to date.
mircea_popescu: thus
therefore, venetians long after "enhabsburgated" nevertheless nation, because venetian whores won in
the bedroom
the "war" charles' soldiers "won" on
the field.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> if you redefine all words
to mean simply "i love you", you will "live" in
the most loving world imaginable. << 2019 is shaping up
to be A+++ year for logs
mircea_popescu: in any case, besides
this distinction, i don't see any way
to meaningfully divide people at
the scale here contemplated.
a111: Logged on 2018-12-20 15:46 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform on meditation,
that piece makes it plainly evident redditardation is ~generational~, not ideological.
there sit
the russki kids, who'd be in a fine position
to understand
the problem. god knows
they have much better access
to much better priors
that readily illuminate it.
a111: Logged on 2018-12-11 17:35 mircea_popescu: russkis understood what it is
they;'re copying and why. chinese -- neve rdid. in
this sense, chinese copied nuke like russians copied ics.
mircea_popescu: i'm not even sure either ;
though by
the fruits i judge former.
mircea_popescu: but, back
to
the problem, i dunno why i should credit chinese history more
than i credit any other imaginary characters history.
there's a history of desdemona, you know, as "brought
to life" by various gals over
the ages and
the stages.
mircea_popescu: so,
to bring it back
to
the chinos : "they agree it serves
them right", of course, of course. do you know why ? because
they've seen
the adults do it.
mircea_popescu: this is
the "economic cycle", and it's been playing out since 1800, ie, since
these schmuckls got
together in a burg and read newspapers.
mircea_popescu: and also privately agree
they'll personally be damned if
they forward
this inhumane and anti-business aggenda "of other [unknown, now] morons".
mircea_popescu: at which juncture, all
teh merchants in
the burg ~publicly~ agree it's a bad
thing (in general, mind you!) for anything
to get in
the way of business and
therefore clothing
the poor naked whores and feeding candy
to
their crying spawn ;
mircea_popescu: then nature resumes its course, and guess what ? c)
turns out
to be costly, and getting in
the way of business!
mircea_popescu: generally
this
takes
the refinment of "more general", just for good measure. cuz
they're not a bunch of morons, see. women and children and everyone else do well
to follow
their wise lead!
mircea_popescu: so, whenever some unpleasant shit happens, such as
the merchant fleet stepping on a rake, all
the merchants in
the burg agree : a)
that nobody could have predicted it ;
thus
therefore b)
that, individually and personally, none of
them could possibly be blamed ; and
thus c) some agreement should be made
to in
the future avoid such unplesantries.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform let me
tell you a story about regulation.
mircea_popescu: "this
train is
too loud and it priviledges
the speed of sound over other speeds much more important
to us" ~cixi, 1800s.
