mircea_popescu: this identification of "any feeling at all" with "bad" in the mental collective is why bush needn'
t cary any responsability for his empire's failure in the middle east (i don'
t mean, "his empire failing to achieve something or the other in that locale", i mean "the empire failing, aka ending, at that place", much like if i say "clinton's aneurism at 15th chelsea street" i mean the dork fell in the street, not that the stre
diana_coman: ah, uhm; does that mean he didn'
t have sex before because return would be < 100% ?
mircea_popescu: "isn'
t it enough that i'm getting real returns on THIS ONE THING ? it should be. all the rest... imaginary!"
diana_coman: re fg inside, I suppose that's the "those guys don'
t know how to sell" - gotta make it a collectable, there's no use and no purpose other than it's cool; but mircea_popescu's explanation of self-valuation seems to me to explain it all much better really.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: as ~evidently enough there's not 10k earths around, but one, and as just as evidently russia ain'
t going along with ustarded "valuations", so even "Whole earth" is too high to reach, well... fellow "can'
t motivate himself"
BingoBoingo: I wouldn'
t be surprised if he picked up more when the decision to hold off on more productions runs came down
Mocky: the rss import can handle it, but that can'
t import post tags
Mocky: I've been building my wp import file out of my feed template. It's basically rss with additional wp tags. I just discovered the reason why only the last post in the file has been getting imported: wp import can'
t handle </item><item> without whitespace between.
a111: Logged on 2017-07-08 03:49 asciilifeform: i just counted gpg 1.4.10 : 156,436 loc -- and that ain'
t counting the autoconf liquishit, or the libs it pulls in
mircea_popescu: "oh, no, this totally isn'
t dork mcdorkenson, he's rakiim al fuckwit, who magically survived the concentration camp at quala-janqui, believe"
mircea_popescu: you don'
t mean "One time I want to draw your attention to #selection-387.154-389.22 while some other time #selection-43.21-43.46 is the point of interest." ? that's deliberate!
mircea_popescu: just like in their view, the fact that they befouled science with their politico idiocy means something about science. they didn'
t, by their lights, made the profession of "earth scientist" nigh on impossible for the average man. they, on the contrary, are forcing my hand when it comes to such topics.
mircea_popescu: a mistake powered by the fact that up until they came about tradition consisted of naggum's library. so of copurse thinking man wouldn'
t part with it.
billymg: in terms of test suite, i didn'
t actually write any automated tests for mp-wp, i only meant the manual testing i did, plus reading my own patch a few times
mircea_popescu: i suppose one can'
t fairly discuss the matter without pointing out that the ogilvy-derivative concept of "pr agency" is precisely this, witness to the usg's self-aware failure to develop a diplomatic service and a woprking embassy network, leaving the english as the last practitioner of the florentine art.
mircea_popescu: you don'
t get much done, you're uncomfortable while it's happening, and they have very strange notions of ritual purity, unparalleled even by the shiite.
mircea_popescu: no such thing still available, from white world embassies, at least not at the level where it should be. the iranis, eg, still do this for their citizens. the usgtards don'
t because they have no citizens, it's all govt entreprises and plebs.
a111: Logged on 2019-03-27 18:09 asciilifeform: gotta wonder re the thought process. door clearly marked 'If you don'
t know where you are, you shouldn'
t be here.' eh .
mircea_popescu: what would you think of a lord who actually googled for your key ? didn'
t have it in keyriong, something like wot.deedbot DIDNT EVEN EXIST
mircea_popescu: moeover, the 2nd function of embassy is to collect data. legally, not illegally, it's not the secret service, it's the diplomatic service. what confidence would you as a putative ivan groznii put in data flowing through your embassies when these sad concoctions were manned by idiots so fucking inept, they don'
t even have a black book with the phone numbers of ~their fucking colleagues~. every 15yo boy has a book with his c
mircea_popescu: earthly paradise, i don'
t imagine any cheetah ever complained of good hunting.
mircea_popescu: rather, the fact that the ostrich doesn'
t see the cheetah's a guarantee -- of the cheeta's inexistence.
mircea_popescu: "we don'
t know anything about you, and this ignorance enacts you into inexistence ; notwithstanding you know everything about us, this knowledge doesn'
t enact us into inexistence".
mircea_popescu: her answer to "wtf ios wrong with you" was "well, i never heard of the others, so they don'
t exist" ; but the REASON that was the answer was that ~i~ knew who the fuck she was within two hours, because guess what, my mother of all people actually knew her.
mircea_popescu: aka "we don'
t want to BE europe, we just want to JOIN europe". that's what any retarded kid not belonging in school asks misfortunate teacher : how to cast fireballs irl, aka how to be rich while staying poor, aka how to appear without being and so forth.
a111: Logged on 2015-12-22 14:54 mircea_popescu: the fundamental argentinian-ness of the human mind, "oh, ok, this is what i get paid, now how could i move down what i gottaq do for it ?" really needs the british imperial "fuck you, you don'
t eat" as typified by lord newton.
a111: Logged on 2019-03-28 16:54 BingoBoingo: Her cause can be reduced to that unyielding socialist faith. "It imagined it working, why isn'
t it?"
mircea_popescu: because at the very least, when alf goes to meet bingoboingo, he doesn'
t start yelling at airport.
mircea_popescu: they have cvasi-sedan ones, doesn'
t have to be a truck
mircea_popescu: there's this purely idiotarian usgistani view of "oh, young woman always better than old wife". really, bitch ? cuz why, cuz the precious cuntlet can'
t take without breaking down a 1% of what the tried and tested old ho can swallow unblinking ?
mircea_popescu: i do not believe any same-year made car during any of the years involved could have survived as a replacement. (i don'
t even take the newer / better ones for this sort of treck -- and tbh, i do not respect them NEARLY as much. i grew to love the cheap unassuming old car on the merits, which is to say what it'll take. like any woman.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-16 15:58 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i have the converse problem. alternator dies on road, /me takes car back to (otherwise very competent, and very able) independent mechanic who charged 75 an hour for tools and labour to find what needs changing and then install mp's parts (75 CENTS!!!). "why the fuck was not this on the bill ?" "ah, it wasn'
t really broken yet, still hung on a thread".
mircea_popescu: the cheap one wasn'
t expensive at all, and yes worth every god damned penny.
mircea_popescu: "go ye in county for contempt and you can get out when some other judge says so, cuz i ain'
t gonna."
BingoBoingo: Her cause can be reduced to that unyielding socialist faith. "It imagined it working, why isn'
t it?"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: gifts from the hand, in civil law, that aren'
t in possession aren'
t title.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, i don'
t get her cause of action, nudum pactum much ? she wants 700k pesos FOR WHAT ? "he wrote so" ain'
t no cause of auction, in both civil and common.
mircea_popescu: i don'
t even mean radicals, or fast calculations of things like 149 * 16 as "well, 24 minus a unit"
mircea_popescu: fwiw, since it was mentioned : i don'
t see what's so scandalous with the "new arithmetic" whereby one explicits the powers rather than whatever historical approach.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, point being, can'
t just take the 2nd half. yes, start at 2.
mircea_popescu: just because "it is random", doesn'
t mean 2 can'
t happen.
mircea_popescu: if we were even close to space saturation, itr wouldn'
t be called crypto, it'd be called social security numbers.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, there's a difference between "show x can'
t be done" and "show how to do x"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, i dun see how works either! but what i'm saying is that you don'
t have ~proof~ it doesn'
t!
mircea_popescu: it is factually true that the liar occurence in (1, n) is ~1/3 ; i don'
t know how to evaluate the occurence in (n, n+k). it could be 1/3^2 or 1/3 ^ k or 1/3 ^ 1/k^16 or whatever the fuck else.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, possibly a is actually significantly weaker than b. i dunno, intuitively i'd readily agree with you, but the fact is ~we don'
t know~.
mircea_popescu: the engines won'
t go very far on it (in no small part because it';s almost never taken to ~water density, ie, 800 or so atmospheres) ; but there's still a lot of air that can be fit in some not-so-huge tanks.
mircea_popescu: i don'
t think it's dead though, answers to eg !!key. mayhap something i'm fucking up syntax-wise.
mircea_popescu: ie, you don';
t have to try "all", but do try all mutual products of all known carmichael numbers.
mircea_popescu: but also afaik, it doesn'
t work with "and all same size"
mircea_popescu: i dun see the problem, so it takers a minute. current gpg takes as much, and ssh which doesn'
t is sucja cryptojoke as to not be worth the mention.
Mocky: I did. And now I'm going to find a way out that doesn'
t involve poverty.
mircea_popescu: well, im not sure i follow what;s going on, but didn'
t you execute a 1. i must pay dubaloos so and so a month to landlord therefore -> 2. i must take job in empire and thus logically -> 3. gotta live there ?
a111: Logged on 2019-03-26 21:31 asciilifeform: i'll add that even a tcp skin wouldn'
t be entirely useless ( right nao the only way to write a wwwistic proggy in ada is to use adacorpse's 'gnatsockets' crock of shit )
Mocky: I think I get it but havn'
t used yet, other than a trb build from online that didn'
t require much thinking.
mircea_popescu: (note also, but importantly, that one doesn'
t have to write peh by hand anymore than he has to write asm by hand. there's perfectly conceivable one has an optimizing pehpiler.)
