mircea_popescu: nothing wrong with people taking things in at their own speed. everyone does it regardless if there's anything wrong with it or no anyway.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-05#1765282 << there is that. and, as he points out, "lo! i moved!" etc. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: "this makes no fucking sense" needn't be either scary or worrisome -- it's the fundamental, unviersal state of mankind anyway.

mircea_popescu: deliberately blind. see what can be wrested out of this gesserit cube.

mircea_popescu: yeah seriously. failure of the esl mind is mostly ensured by a very broken evaluation of "success". take the brick in hand, enough achievement for the first day is to have managed to fucking hold it. yes, it's completely opaque to you. so what if it is. so are many things. see what can be cracked out of it ; there's no shortage of "science fiction" "magical realism" whatever in the actual world once one's you know, no longer

mircea_popescu: myeah

mircea_popescu: "did it not ever occur to you to get a week's supply ahead of time ?" "here's a $20 check"

mircea_popescu: there's this lulzy "guy wrote 5 checks for $20 each every SINGLE day for three years" sorta stories from law enforcement.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-05#1765278 << teitelbaum gaon sez, excessive virtue still vicious. nothing wrong with a little of whatever now and again, i for that matter drink the occasional cup of coffee and so on. the problem's when it becomes a regular thing, "i am in X circumstance therefore must Y". ☝︎

mircea_popescu: right.

mircea_popescu: this is a neural network in the sense frog has cns.

mircea_popescu: in a sense of nn whittled down to mean "here's this 1T bayesian array"

mircea_popescu: possibly.

mircea_popescu is persuased neural networks / expert systems / etc ai.mit nonsense is waste of tiem ; however we could put the difference between trng and prng in these terms : only one is useful for evolutionary work.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nah nah, was some other kid, had a whole pile of "nsa recognizes you for your not having done any work in x field" certs and whatnot.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2015-10-13#1298079 ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-05#1765251 << this is so fucking epic. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-05#1765236 << no that was the different one, with the microscopy. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: this is very much the problem of thinking man, "i know what i like i just don't know what it is" ie http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-05#1765170 ☝︎

mircea_popescu: for instance -- i did not observe then that "tab" makes 0 sense, entirely vt100.item to borrow your reference, and will not be maintained. CONTRARY to what i thought at the time, i don't like tabs, i like the thing tabs emulate, which is lisp autoindent

mircea_popescu: EXACT application of "idiots can not have ideas -- idea in hand of idiot is not idea."

mircea_popescu: very substantially the same but formally different because no good form yet, so entirely useless (other than from historical pov)

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-05#1765209 << yeah, somehow it became the epicenter of vcritique. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: well this has been a productive morning then.

mircea_popescu: cool. not like there's any rush.

mircea_popescu: (contrary to above newjersyization, print was mega-republican tech, in that it STANDARDIZED LETTERS. you would NOT FUCKING BELIVE the unicode the dark ages had produced!)

mircea_popescu: and then harem on top.

mircea_popescu: yes but i like how lisp does it so how about default that

mircea_popescu: in the republic, the reference system is patch-tree ; press-head ; word-offset. wtf is wrong with that!

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform much in the way pain in eye goes away once you move the fucking spoon.

mircea_popescu: have fixed indentation for all languages (aka only use languages with fixed indentation) and my text can flow!

mircea_popescu: so then, can we forget the inanities. reference is by wordcount, paragraph, work ; there is no "generic" work title but only correct patchid, ie the bible take 349875938475893749854379857 above ; and this is fucking all.

mircea_popescu: wtf is v for!

mircea_popescu: the bible take 349875938475893749854379857 paragraph 96 word 17

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-06#1765738 ☝︎

mircea_popescu: dude!

mircea_popescu: how is this anything than "high fucking time we implement the original correctness" ?

mircea_popescu: yes.

mircea_popescu: which is... to not go around with photocopies, but REPRINT! ie, reflow.

mircea_popescu: NOTE!!! however thatr foercing this ("all bible pages begin and end on same fucking words motherfuckers!!!) ruins the very point of print

mircea_popescu: there was an early knuth trying an early standardization of the same inanity, cca 1600, yes

mircea_popescu: "works 80% of the time and breaks everything"

mircea_popescu: it became new-jersey possible

mircea_popescu: by title, author, paragraph and word offset. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: ok.

mircea_popescu: explain it to me like i'm new.

mircea_popescu forgets.

mircea_popescu: everyone else can go pack mud.

mircea_popescu: the ~only~ person who matters, in ALL of fucking computer, is HE WHO READS CODE, all hail to him, the greatest one.

mircea_popescu: code reference is to be optimized for the reader of code.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform code reference is not to be optimized for the writer of code.

mircea_popescu: notrly, i'd be happy with "text is made of words" ; my problem is entirely "text is made of words ARRANGED IN LINES".

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-05#1765140 << could trivially point into structure by word count! which is how it was fucking done before you darned kids started skatin' on the sidewalk! my addressing into classical text is paragraph count / word offset. what the FUCK is a line! ☝︎

mircea_popescu: tring is secret gensym ; gensym is public trng.

mircea_popescu: it is, isn't it.

mircea_popescu: right.

mircea_popescu: ("why not ?" "because he's not gonna reissue the item already in db doh")

mircea_popescu: when i ask for a deposit it won't fucking recur.

mircea_popescu: back at sanity ranch, ~only way to know it won't recur is the way trinque has it implemented

mircea_popescu: can also run into soulmate at butcher's!

mircea_popescu: re-read my comment, it is exactly accurate!

mircea_popescu: this is not the samr thing!

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform aaaand how do you make it not recuir lol

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-05#1765119 << this is actually the most cogent critique of phalocentrism in computing i ever read. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: o... wait...

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-05#1765100 << this is a gensym in the sense girl you met at butcher's is your true love. why not call gns like sane people. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-05#1765095 << there's a certain...ring... to that. "a cuntoo pressing itself". http://78.media.tumblr.com/9307e89967592d33f10d9598fcdbc2ec/tumblr_ndiplotSRF1th0gwho1_1280.jpg ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-05#1765066 << this inevitably led to mention of knuth which in turn makes one realize tex existed originally exactly because http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-05#1765177 ☝︎☝︎

mircea_popescu: who might you be jpx__

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-05#1765028 << lmao this guy. YOU PUT IT THERE! and moreover... what is the logic of "begins to suspect that ~nobody actually read ch5" when "it survived nearly a week of asciilifeform rereading whole thing every day." ? DID YOU NOT READ IT ? ☝︎

mircea_popescu: !!up jpx__

mircea_popescu: esthlos because if put in separate places they'll automatically personalize ; hence the blogposts comment.

mircea_popescu: "now we're getting somewhere" better predictor of failure ; and there being english names anywhere inside the item -- almost perfect predictor.

mircea_popescu: contrary to what pantsuit may be whispering in ear, "here i am, with this 10lb book of which i can read not a word" is a very poor predictor of failure.

mircea_popescu: and, for completeness : leaning german off kant is perfectly acceptable manner of learning german altogether, for the sufficiently intelligent ; much like learning greek off homer. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: exactly a problem of "where the fuck is your engine" ie http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-04#1763930 ie "your problem is that you aren't fucking thinking. AT ALL." ☝︎

mircea_popescu: what the everloving fuck already, car-paintjob-toenails-sunscreen-beachbod.

mircea_popescu: anyway, it's funny how englischer "german school" goes kant-schopenhauer-karlziggler-hegel"ians"-nietsche-clinton.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's a place where he was integrated into the borg, but it's a dubious weld.

mircea_popescu: but yes -- russian translations of kant, fichte, heidegger, husserl, spinoza, frege absolutely acceptable ; heck, even ro ones are fine. french is getting iffy.

mircea_popescu: hey, there's plenty, just not really on the topic [i inferred him to have] asked.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform job on movie set, ~handyman.

mircea_popescu: absolute ban on english as an avenue to this much in the same way absolute ban to barking as an avenue to opera. i don't care if you're a dog and i don't care if barking comes naturally to you

mircea_popescu: so do not fucking dare read anything having any ENGLISH SOUNDING NAMES anywhere at any point involved, which includes the fucking best grip.

mircea_popescu: and since this was mentioned : "kantian ethics", ie the item on which lazy-because-dumb-because-lazy-because-dumb-because esltards have gelled in their attempt to http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-05#1764883 ie spuriously pretend "oh, WE ALREADY DID KANT!!" etc is about as relevant to the man's work as newtonian alchemy is relevant to newton's work. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-05#1765023 << sadly, not in this language. but otherwise, the german school is the canonical introduction ; read ye yer kant, then proceed to http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=frege (not the other fucking way around ; english is a liability to the thinking man, and the latter's accessibility a burden). ☝︎

mircea_popescu: now let's see if this log can be caught up with.

mircea_popescu: old guy, etc.

mircea_popescu: why should he give a shit in either case.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-05#1764988 << good idea. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: goes well with the "didn't even afford paralelconstruct". this is some seriously low effort "job".

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-05#1764975 << very sad fucking item, i would fire the producer. contains "if he were" boilerplate verbiage copy-pasted in there, for utter shame. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: but he's stuck managing fucking state.

mircea_popescu: mod6 why not use the system logs instead ?

mircea_popescu: as he says, there be the logs.

mircea_popescu: mod6 i suspect the idea is sound, but maybe the posixism of "single fixed file" dun serve

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-05#1764935 << prolly worth it, "re-examine history with new theoretical framework" ☝︎

mircea_popescu: aha

mircea_popescu: mod6 any particular reason to want ? aid debugging ? or ?
