ben_vulpes: claims to, but i don't desire that at this moment
ben_vulpes: mod6: neat recommendation; i'm working with an abortion called 'exwm' for now
a111: Logged on 2017-06-20 16:30 phf: building wot for all comers will suffer the same fate as pgp. since nobody's using it, it turns into an arms race of easy to use, or "innovation" also known as masturbation over technical minutiae. i sort of realized this when i tried applying tmsr solutions to my cypherpunk friends: "no we don't need to research the difference between signal and telegram, just encrypt it to my gpg key and post it on dpaste or whatever." eliminated all the technical di
Framedragger: lol, i see :D i take my inner skeptic back
Framedragger: hehe ok thanks, i missed that one
mod6: i like mine.
shinohai: I'm so accustomed to it now I can't imagine going back to my old ways.
shinohai: lol mod6 caught it same time I did, was busy writing up the lulz and didn't see your msg.
mod6: lol, this is why i asked first!
mod6: so i figure if my X.Z is 8 words long, L = 7
mod6: i did that, see above.
asciilifeform: likewise the ability to refer to Foo'First and Foo'Last -- arrays know their size; and taking a slice from a nonexistent portion behaves SANELY (i.e. is a slice of size 0, and it is legal to assign another array to it, this is a null op)
asciilifeform: ( which is WHY i numbered'em from 1 !! )
mod6: which, i guess you would be assigning a null word then, also. not sure if that was intended.
mod6: asciilifeform: ok, i understand.
ben_vulpes: huh, i don't understand this comment then: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-21#1673195 ☝︎
asciilifeform: mod6: i haven't tried and have 0 intention of
asciilifeform: mod6: i mentioned all of the ones i could think of -- larger base case ( trivially necessary ), and parallelized recursing ( unacceptable in the msdos port, or on single-cored machines of whatever type, however )
mod6: i do not think this is depressing, more ~expected. we're doing things typically in crystal way up above where normally executed.
asciilifeform: in that i still do not know if the problem can even be solved satisfactorily.
trinque: http://vegweb.com/sites/default/files/styles/recipe_large/public/recipe/images/tofurkey2.jpg?itok=E92IW1jt << ah gross, I take it back
trinque: scam; I don't think you can stuff a tofurkey
asciilifeform: ^ veeeery prelim. version, i still gotta prove that it worx always and forever.
asciilifeform: i'ma about to post, momentarily,
phf: i don't think you could get published in america if you were to imply that gayness is biologically viral in nature
BingoBoingo: Of course it must have. I thought that's what the 1980's in "activism" was about. Vampire disease
phf: there was a young adult novel about vampires, and i can't remember the title or the author, but it was written by a virologist, had all kinds of trivia about this sort of viral parasites (obviously vampirism was explored from that angle too)
asciilifeform: i'd be surprised if it worked exactly same in man as in mouse
mircea_popescu: though the last word from harvard trained Psychologists (!!!) is psychopath, i hear.
phf: goes back to slavic mythology, but i don't know what bes is there. in old slavonic bibles it was used to translate the word "demon"
phf: which doesn't have a good direct translation. "they will soon stop throwing a tantrum" but the verb is from bes, i.e. old russian word for demon, so kind of like "they will run out of the idiotic and chaotic energy, and will eventually calm down"
mircea_popescu: mmm... i dun get it ?
phf: oh that i don't know, i was 10, so i intentionally avoided learning what the point was, i just had an uneasy sense that it was there
mircea_popescu: phf really ? i utterly missed that out. i think to this day. what was the point ?
phf: i liked twain, but he was also a touch wholesome. like an older uncle, telling you a yarn, that has a Point to it that you're expected to notice, because the uncle grins every time the point comes up
mircea_popescu: then i discovered romania actually had a niche equivalent of the us pulp, spinrad & all, so i moved on to that.
mircea_popescu: i preferred twain, but the problem is twain wrote enough for a coupla weeks, verne for a coupla months. every day as a 10yo i'd come home from school, stop at library, buy another jv book an' go read it.
phf: i have to be honest, i barely read jules verne. i think it's just an incompatible temperament issue, i preferred my romantics to be a bit darker.
asciilifeform: i thought star dreck was mostly about fucking peculiarly humanoid alien chix
shinohai: (has on chain if I understand correctly)
mod6: i dunno, if you feel like you wanna live in a submarine, then perhaps its time to gtfo and find a better place.
mircea_popescu: i don't get it.
mod6: ah, fair point. but i mean, whatever, probably wasn't daily sunning either.
mod6: i feel like that was once every 3 months though. haha.
mircea_popescu: i dunno man, there's many kinds of people and i dun expect to understand all, but going by observation to date the only reason people even put up (for brief intervals) with the many and significant inconveniences of navigation is access to the sun and the wind and so on.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: funnily enough, i have that part ( if little else ) solved.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno you'll be able to find anyone willing to indulge, so in theory not but in practice likely.
asciilifeform: while we're on subj of storms at sea -- i admit to having wondered why orlol isn't designing a small sub ( it doesn't need to have gigantic pressure hull, or even ~any maneuvering ability while under -- but only to ride out storms by submerging). afaik it dun get any moar storm-proof than a sub.
asciilifeform: i dun think an orloltron carries 12 wks of food/water
mod6: heheh. i can see it though, mircea_popescu
mircea_popescu: nudity is a start, but it's just... people have a bubble, it depends on many things and i suppose is of various types. if you pack them tighter than their bubble is they'll get increasingly pissier.
mod6: ah, i agree. naked girl(s) + boat go hand in hand.
mircea_popescu: which is why i said don't buy it in the us, cuz yes those people are SO into papers and empty signifiying by now that it's a legitimate problem.
mod6: i don't seem to have problems with that either.... at least, i have't had it yet.
mod6: well, i think that it's fun for a day; imagine going port to port for weeks on end. i think it'd get tiring. maybe i'm wrong. *shrug*
mod6: i personally have only been on a boat for a day at most.
asciilifeform: for instance, almost 100% of the btc i ever tx'ed out, was on the dumb alphago bet
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i dun particularly need a motorcycle..
asciilifeform: at any rate, and ought to satisfy mircea_popescu , i dun buy machines i have nfi how to drive, i did not buy airplane either.
asciilifeform: tru!! if i needed 10,000,001 -- would be stuck paying the chumptax
asciilifeform: but i've had the same (inherited) auto for eons.
mircea_popescu: i swear the loony reservation is doing things to your head. you ended up baking in us "consumer protection" laws at some level.
asciilifeform: i certainly do.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform sure. when you buy a used electric transformer, i'll keep my peace.
asciilifeform: and i would not buy anything BUT a used car, wtf
mircea_popescu can buy used cars. CARS. because i bought and own hundreds. i can't buy fucking used boats, and i doubt you can (or would, or do for that matter) buy used cars. ☟︎
asciilifeform: i'll be sure to buy new b0at in china as soon as i learn chinese, get into cpcn wot, and obtain teleporter.
mircea_popescu: it is a stupid thing to do. i don't care what you think "means never" means.
mod6: the ocean is a desert. i don't think i could do that for extended time.
mircea_popescu: normally this happens "privately" as per usg.freenode's notion of that, but since http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-20#1672501 i figure what the hell, we can have one public day. ☝︎
deedbot: http://www.contravex.com/2017/06/21/i-know-the-last-train-is-leaving-the-station-but-thats-ok-ill-grab-the-next-one/ << » Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski - “I know the last train is leaving the station but that’s ok I’ll grab the next one.”
erlehmann: no, actually, i can't
mircea_popescu: i do not believe.
asciilifeform: castes -- exist. and i can even see the argument, that one oughta be able to make the call from 10 metres, rather than burn away 10minutes of yer life listening to a wikipedian
mircea_popescu: holy shit, i had nfi preet actually married A DUDE.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-20#1672706 << they do. and not forget, http://btcbase.org/log/2015-11-06#1318952 as a stand-in for shit-academia. though i suppose obama would work just as well, "constitutional law scholar". read motherfucking constitution of ghana. ☝︎☝︎
asciilifeform: relatedly, i've been seeing lines pop into existence on my client end in 2-3ln bursts
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-20#1672705 << this collapse is scam, i want my money back. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-06-20 18:54 phf: (thinking some more i only had one clarification, second one relating to action/thought i don't think i have a good grasp on...)
a111: Logged on 2017-06-20 19:36 erlehmann: > I read the Baseline Requirements document (version 1.4.5, section 4.9.1.1), but I wasn't entirely sure whether this is considered a key compromise. I asked Hanno Bock on Twitter
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i've never seen anyone (other than fly going splat) in earnest that it was accident.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i believe for good reason.
mircea_popescu: i will also note that there's a very interesting relation between... i mean! it is almost always the case culture shock engenders #trilema conversations. and it is at least in principle possible to measure how interesting rthey are ; and then to relate that value to just how shocky the shock is. it'd seem moderate shock like eg erlehmann works a lot better than full on blast splatting like the fly earlier today.
mircea_popescu: "i'm not going away from here without a head in this here bag, so which head is it going to be".
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as result, i suspect, of missing the 'silver age' etc, asciilifeform never imprinted on the various kabukis of the genre
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ah, that. i dunno, really. filming physiology is not pornography. there's a certain intersection of cultural items to make porn, and i'd say it expired just about the time michael jackson was completing his diana bowie-ross morphism.
mircea_popescu: golden age of porn was the vhs. silver age of porn was the early internet paysite, which if i recall the figures correctly were hit 80% dialup, then a few years later 60%, and then a few more years like 5% or so, and the cheap digicams were everywhere
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i wasn't speaking of the 'age of porn-makes-money', i wasn't there to see either end of it.
erlehmann: i had a lot of fun with this and the goebbels diaries
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform notrly. by the time broadband + sonycams hit, it was already gone, and i was already out.
erlehmann: for those who know german, i can suggest „die läufige leinwand“ from christian kessler, a book about american hardcore porn from 1970 to 1985. maybe there exists a translation?
mircea_popescu: i know, for i was there. and it was glorious.
asciilifeform: i.e. the folx on whom the hot irons worked ok
mircea_popescu: erlehmann i don't think anyone alive made as much money per time, at the time. so in this sense i guess i was a fully professional... banker ?
erlehmann: people involved expect payment i guess, but at a lower rate than full-time professionals
mircea_popescu: im theoretically technically promising, but practically rather inept. i don't even drive.
asciilifeform: for some reason i pictured mircea_popescu filming to celluloid..
erlehmann: mircea_popescu i believe i got that information not from porn, but from what a porn director claimed
mircea_popescu: i mean director can't NOT be on the set.
mircea_popescu: erlehmann entirely possible, i've not been watching for a long time now.
