mircea_popescu:
as far
as i know [and what i don't know in this town ain't worth knowing], the last "thai princes" in existence sported armenian moustaches, went about in confiscated warsaw pact uniforms and had names ending in that ridiculous accented c.
a111: Logged on 2019-02-02 18:08 asciilifeform: and it dun strike me
as somehow outlandish that in cn they've played the tape 3-4 times, while in europistan 1-2.
diana_coman: asciilifeform, the funny thing is that I have trouble remembering any names
as such - it's more when I read the names that I go "oh, THAT one"
BingoBoingo: Amazing how the last names remain revelant with Cobb being the outlier
as he always is
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo did you get
as far
as where he ~reveals~ the sauce for the "go at it the right way" device ?
☟︎ 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: 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: (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 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: 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: 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, 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: seems to me "china"
as the mythical beast went to join "egypt". yeah, sure, used to be tall men with elegant noses that invented mapmaking.
mircea_popescu: no, i'm just saying the expression is ~constructed~ so
as to ~by itself~ provide the universality.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's deeply untrue "kind had trouble tying own shoes". the habsburg empire (to this date a model for wanna-bes, from bahamas' crowd to merkel etc) ended very much by bombsteroid dropping. but other than that, the last emperor franz
as the last emperor albert-edward had a lot in common : very socialist outset.
a111: Logged on 2019-02-02 18:25 mircea_popescu: consider the armenians ; or the venetians. both encountered the exact same problem (not invented by them, either) : bad demographic breakdown. do you know for a fact the machined-down zulus had "enhabsburgated" ? there is such thing
as "cut down in prime", why not.
mircea_popescu: i am unpersuaded "man"
as such is the "transnational" universal socialists want it to be.
mircea_popescu: "even the study of math, mp, note you i said the study not the object studied, flourishes and dies
as described by my model!"
mircea_popescu: no dood. fails to distinguish
as in, fails to distinguish. the partition it enacts upon the world is into two sets : the set of the items you invited over to play tea time with, and the set of the items you didn't [yet] so invite.
mircea_popescu: you can't "give examples"
as to the welfare of chickens by "accidentally having happened to pick" only cows.
mircea_popescu: consider the armenians ; or the venetians. both encountered the exact same problem (not invented by them, either) : bad demographic breakdown. do you know for a fact the machined-down zulus had "enhabsburgated" ? there is such thing

☟︎ mircea_popescu: in short, i don't mean that it dun persuade me "it's the case". it dun persuade me it's worth my time
as a model.
mircea_popescu: "artistic"
as opposed to "conventional" in much the same way you propose "authentic" oppose "coherent". but mind for a second -- if your army's based on the enemy, you have no army at all, yes ?
mircea_popescu: shall i quote 1880s to you ? here : "The room was a long and lofty one, furnished in the stern uncompromising style of the Mahogany Age, now supplanted by the later fashions of decoration which, in their outset original and artistic, seem fairly on the way to become
as meaningless and conventional."
mircea_popescu: and yes, of course it goes straight to the core of what nationalism ~is~, very much not "a concept we no longer need"
as various low level slash "moderate" socialists propose.
mircea_popescu: (notice, for the noob, that the woman ~is actually depicted~ in the above illustration. she happens to be quadripedal, but
as #metoo taught you, this shouldn't matter IN FAIRNESS.)
mircea_popescu: so one day, when they kick their football into your window, you, instead of giving it back (
as trees, before), you... you... what do you do ? TEAR IT UP!!! is that it ?
mircea_popescu: anyone who wants to believe is welcome to. i... i have serious problems with works of fiction,
as the logs no doubt attest.
mircea_popescu: which is a process that speaks ~
as to your status~, not
as to her.
mircea_popescu: consider a simple case : sovok consisted of men in positions of feudal power (such
as boss of factory, chief of an office, whatever) fucking the prettier "married" women in their charge.
mircea_popescu: you take a view of man
as spherical-chicken-in-vacuum, which is at best naive.
mircea_popescu: failure or success in outreach, such
as pizarro, is a larger factor than anything to do with the world, in that sense.
mircea_popescu: either the world at large accepts #trilema and submits ; or else comes up with "its own"
as if that were possible and so on.
mircea_popescu: there's no fucking space in the future for "choice" nor for "human dignity" understood
as anything but the dignity of the precious few, and on in this vein.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> and pinyin is possibly built
as a joke on the 'white devil', the encoding has ~0 relation much of the time to the actual sound << FWIW Spanish doesn't work in Chile
BingoBoingo: OH, there's the food! During her "weekend" which
as a nurse is the mundane middle of the week I send her with a saddam worth array of chemical weapons and half the pesos I would carry on the same adventure during the actual weekend. Then I eat well.
BingoBoingo: Today I acquired a cultural artifact known locally
as a tenedor de ropa.
mircea_popescu: russkis bothered with it ~specifically~ to exploit usg's shocking cuntitude
as a superlative of weakness and for no other imaginable reason.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> how the fuck they expect to make those pipes work is anyone's guess. "rubber",
as fucking if. << If I went back to old country I don't think I could ever buy a house after seeing the local concrete glory.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-31 02:14 asciilifeform: i dun recall whether trinque specifically tested this, but
as i understand it oughta work precisely like-so.
mircea_popescu: how the fuck they expect to make those pipes work is anyone's guess. "rubber",
as fucking if.
BingoBoingo: Nevermind that
as latinos that can do international aviation with cedulas, apparently mom needs a passport. I suspect someone in the family is unhealthily attached to the 6 gar garage.
BingoBoingo: Monday there was boxing in "Estadio de la Arena" on my beach to mostly empty bleacher, which is about
as close
as things come to happening here
a111: Logged on 2019-01-31 02:14 asciilifeform: theoretically should produce ~same~ binary
as the rotor build.
mod6: That would be awesome, I'd love to at least get
as many lords to sign off
as possible. I know it's a big ask for all though. There's a lot there.
mod6: Well,
as it should be, really.
mod6: Naw, but I wanna draw out the full-adder and things such
as that. I want a very, very strong foundation so when I get into the later chapters, it's all in the front of my mind so I'm not getting lost.
mircea_popescu: Jan 30 18:41:19 <mircea_popescu> amateurs,
as it turns out, are a terrible plague.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-30 19:40 mircea_popescu: the traditional period greeting among boys, etched
as it finds itself in my memory, went "ma, tu poti asa ?" ie, "hey, can you do this ?". girls tended to challenge each other rather to knowledge of particular conventions, "you read so and so book ?! SO DID I!!!"
mircea_popescu: and then JUST
as i turn to grab the dood by the scruff of his neck and see who the fuck this is then, what, am i talking to myself here ?!
