phf: I did - it requires more work than it is worth atm
mircea_popescu: anyway, back to
phf 's thing : i frankly dun think rms/frf/etc are relevant here, not anymore than aunt molly's mole is relevant in a discussion of dermatology.
trinque:
phf: I see software being "shared" in such a personal way that you should expect me to ask you directly whether I can give to my L1, whether I can post sauce on www, so on
trinque:
phf: it's not WoT-tronic if I'm making decisions based on WoT and also this overarching religion about software
mircea_popescu:
phf i don't think stallman, for all his posturing, was muich in the philosophy department. seriously, ima have a special right to use code ? tell you what - have the inalienable freedom to use weapons, in any manner i deem fit, such as against the us president, and to use the penis, and plates of pasta, and napkin scribblings and anything else.
trinque:
phf: my point above is that, if you asked me for sauce I'd provide it for reasons entirely other than philosophy
mircea_popescu:
phf i'm game for a full analysis of them if you care to state any. the problem broadly is that they're nonsense as-found.
mircea_popescu:
phf i don't see a problem with gpl per se, but i'm not going to enforce it myself.
thestringpuller:
phf: ah. stackoverflow development. That's a good phrase. devs tend to be lazy, so when something breaks and stackoverflow has a solution they put they put a bandaid over wounds that require stitches and eventually someone sane has to sit down and deturdify the mess.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in any case, while the value of "bright young fellow wants to learn boyer-moore through checking out
phf's code" is there ; i'm not about to push you to publish phuctor code for some vague fetishist love of foss. which i don't have.
trinque:
phf: how do I get prin1 (or something more sensible) to barf an sexp with a euro symbol in it?

phf: "You can buy one or more Urbit stars for $256 - or, TODAY ONLY, only $205."
trinque: afaik.
phf, if not, lemme know and I'll whip something up
trinque: gave psql access to
phf to that end
mircea_popescu:
phf ikr! i lack the background and experience in management experience, is the problem.
trinque:
phf: write something incomprehensible on a napkin and drop it in front of them as you leave

phf: you get a balmore workshop not because it's a conan thing to do, but because you're insane and need to paint astral vaginas whether or not there's market for it, and you can afford to pay $90/mo (sometimes late) for your apartment and $100/mo (mostly late) for your studio
mircea_popescu:
phf actually this isn't a terribru idea, make shirts with the numbered tits.
mircea_popescu:
phf is this for the people who bought battleships, islands, now they can buy asteroids, next alphabet letters...
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so you gonna photocopy the sa, for when
phf has the tits svg'er ready ?

phf: i have that cockli box by the way. i'm probably going to spin up an instance on it, but if anybody wants to attempt that task, feel free to take over
gribble: mod6 was last seen in #trilema 7 hours, 28 minutes, and 31 seconds ago: <mod6>
phf: ah oh yeah.
mircea_popescu:
phf anyway, it's a very reasonable way to waste one's life. it can live on a server(s), connect via chatbot, solicit payment which'll work once trinque gets it added to deedbot... it's an actual biznis.
mircea_popescu:
phf and the third is that it absolutely should not make any concession to the finite nature of the universe. three billion trillion parameters ? OK!
mircea_popescu:
phf there's two (or perhaps three) aspects here. one is, that it should first pass through the entire item (book or w/e), to adjust itself, and then go once more through it, on the basis of that, and then again. similar to how "page rank" works, once the result is stable it thinks it's done.
mircea_popescu:
phf incidentally, how interested are you in the unholy art of probabilistic models ? it occurs to me that making a proper ocr would be a most respectable task, but not really for everyone.

phf: fwiw we're saying same thing, but a paper doesn't need to reveal some major secrets to be worthwhile, ~this~ particular paper takes a tired and ideologically aligned "it's them eggheads and their lisp that did it"

phf: asciilifeform: not at all 100% usg, that's why there was the west coast symbolics media lab, also government didn't stop buying, the contracts were bringing revenue well into the endof90s (i mean still do, but now it's life support peanuts)
mircea_popescu:
phf real estate is the traditional siren song that sinks a certain type of empire builder head.

phf's link, commentz: '...it's nice that run down neighborhoods get a face lift, and I love craft beer and good food and coffee as much as the next guy (er, gal)-but what happened to the factories and the people that used to work in them? Their lives were largely destroyed by "free trade" and deindustrialization. We were once a producer society, and we were an economically and culturally healthier countr

phf: once landlords or developers are involved the area has long been considered "interesting" by suburban types and "done" by the gentrification avant guard
mircea_popescu: well, slumlord
phf buy the place for them, then charges them 100 a month for a dildo to sit on
mircea_popescu:
phf well, depends if you're looking to monetize the scandal.
mircea_popescu:
phf maybe particular pufferfish may get away with it if small and exceptional.
mircea_popescu:
phf this is a monopoly trade. if you're not in the right lawyer club you'll end up in the middle of a scandal.

phf: i'm not quite grokking how this was an unexpected outcome. prices drop because of smaller things and this was a massive price signal. from my naive perspective you have a bunch of people saying "eu sucks" and "britain has standalone economy" both assertions need to be explored and nobody particularly wants to explore them
BingoBoingo:
phf: To remove the rust and leave a black oxide finish in its place.
mircea_popescu:
phf nah, because a) must be "proper" ie "standard" and b) they already sold out the headcount to a private company
mircea_popescu:
phf not how "democracy" etc works now is it. of course people make lists, they gotta be afraid. very, very afraid.

phf: this is roughly how the argument went in the connection machine book, but of course they didn't have access to large enough rams to make it shared
BingoBoingo:
phf: Party is on pause. Can't let BTC look too much better than ether huffing, so Buttfunex has to have some butt fun

phf: are there any 6502 computer designs where you have multiple of them sitting on same bus or talking to same memory
a111: Logged on 2016-06-24 02:05
phf: i'm sure you've seen cl-6502, and i think there's a compiler from the same guy (or perhaps cl-6502 has a compiler too i don't quite remember)
mircea_popescu:
phf i thought it was gonna be slotin and his beryllium hemisphere
thestringpuller:
phf: i'll have to write lisp to import it into a new sql db
