BingoBoingo: But yes, if Trump legalizes weed at the federal level which he appears to be moving towards... it will be for very good reason.
BingoBoingo: Can't pin all of the swells in the world on it
mircea_popescu: but yes, substantial change in teh world.
BingoBoingo: Well, for the most part pot is a marginal thing mostly used by marginal people
a111: Logged on 2018-10-15 17:54 mircea_popescu: "In spite of the frequency with which the practice of rolling joints is carried out, skill in rolling remains rare." << this will be the written epitaph on this whole sad world. sorta like Abdulkhakim Ismailov's twin watches the epitaph of previouis reich.
BingoBoingo: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-15#1862995 << And to be clear on this point I am not talking about a lack of artistically inspired one time smoke instruments. I mean they produce joints that are poorly packed, with loose paper, that need substantial babying because they fail to burn consistently (Even when they cheat by bulking up the payload with tobacco to ease rolling).. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-10-08 17:21 mircea_popescu: as i say -- the young hussies already are looking for slavery and abjection, in contrast to their stupid mulas and stramulas. from rotherham to anytown, usa, the 15 yo is saying "please, beat, rape and light me on fire -- anything whatsoever but having to talk with my kinmorons."
a111: Logged on 2016-07-11 12:11 mircea_popescu: hilary should really be a very informative example for all teenaged girls today : NOTHING slavery inflicts upon you is quite as bad as what "being a successful" mainstream derp does to you.
mircea_popescu: kinda the same all over the world, http://trilema.com/2017/where-the-fuck-is-everyone/ etc. might have nothing to do with pot and everything to do with http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-11#1500948 / http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-08#1859575 evolution. ☝︎☝︎
BingoBoingo: Hey, down here I am watching the Fat Forehead party realize it doesn't have a activist base anymore in real time.
mircea_popescu: "Consumption of marijuana promotes the development and belief in false memories. The social engineering potential for this is tremendous, which is likely why Pantsuit pushes normalizing marijuana consumption. The effect on activism in the previous point is likely why Pantsuit is cautious in actually legalizing cannabis." << check it out, #metoo was really of and by and for and about potheads ?!
mircea_popescu: "In spite of the frequency with which the practice of rolling joints is carried out, skill in rolling remains rare." << this will be the written epitaph on this whole sad world. sorta like Abdulkhakim Ismailov's twin watches the epitaph of previouis reich. ☟︎
asciilifeform: possibly they do like the wine people ? (i.e. 'x % of grapes from yr n, x % from n-1, ... ' etc )
mircea_popescu: i can't imagine how it'd be consistent then, but anyways.
BingoBoingo: And it's production appears to largely be a subsistence farming thing rather than mega-cartel deal
BingoBoingo: It's what most of this continent has
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> in 1980, you'd pop in an entirely random porno vhs and kinda know what you'd get ; and similarily light up and similarily know. << The classic 'pot' pot is still readily available in Uruguay. Pressed, consistent, shelf stable Product of Paraguay is available from most fellows in vests helping people parallel park
asciilifeform: lol if only gabriel_laddel were alive to defend his people!11
BingoBoingo: Whereas the pot kiddies very much imagine they are wine snobs
BingoBoingo: Nah, he's going to get his driver's license and maybe even a job
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform most kids go by color as the only indication. the more advanced also look for lettering.
BingoBoingo: girl in Argentina, and a couple more weeks back at the hostel...
BingoBoingo: Story time: A kid came to Uruguay from a non-gringo white anglophone country. Regular smoker, he only intended a couple weeks in Uruguay before moving on to explore the rest of the continent. He asked me where to find weed and I told his this is Uruguay, weed will find him when he stops looking for it. 4 days into Uruguay he found pot. Five months later, after having spent nearly 3 months at the same hostel, one and a half with some
asciilifeform: can't say that i follow subj actively; but doesn't pill at least have measurable mass, and you can estimate how much glue and how much $item
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is very much not so, if you've ever seen any of the pill kiddies pill.
asciilifeform: supposing it is possible to use the word in application to doping, seems like the pill folx are 'smarter' -- they at least have a rough idea of how much $subst they're eating
mircea_popescu: back then, pot used to be like porn. nowadays -- also is like porn. compare and contrast.
mircea_popescu: truth be told, "weak enzyme -- to what ?" people who smoked in college pre 2000ish and then kinda stopped aren'\t ready for what has become of the pot scene.
asciilifeform: even odder then.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform long time smoker (though with pauses).
asciilifeform: i also wonder if there's a 'chukcha and firewater' effect in play, possibly some folx have weak enzyme
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo this wasn't intentional.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Because they are chasing the euphoric effects their body's tendancy to homeostasis has robbed them of
mircea_popescu: i have no idea. but i mentioned because a) wouldn't have believed the story and b) witnessed with own eyes.
asciilifeform: seems excessive, tho, why would anyone want it as expensive sleeping pill.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the interplay of random hybridation ( BingoBoingo does a good job of describing what open source weed did) and personal genetics. this is what happens.
BingoBoingo: And not concentrated post modern tributes to hashish. It is of hashish
asciilifeform: i dun think this exists in usa, of yet
mircea_popescu: of plant matter as opposed to some distillate.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform three tokes.
mircea_popescu: btcbase.org/log/2018-10-15#1862927 ; and similarly ANYTHING ELSE. the bar strictly is "more than three people get together who aren't mentally subnormal". that's it!)
mircea_popescu: (also great case study in http://trilema.com/2015/the-triviality-of-slaying-the-surviving-socialist-beast/ ; it takes barely a farthing's worth of concerted effort to rape ourdemocracy in any ghole you choose. the only reason pedophilia, necrophilia or w/e else isn't "legally protected" today is strictly that all pedos, necrophiliacs etc are fucking morons. otherwise, self-mutilation legally protected to the degree of http://
a111: Logged on 2018-10-15 17:19 mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo it does go pretty faint, the respiration. which yes, can definitely panic the more medically-informed.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-15#1862935 << lol, how much does one gotta take, to get to this ☝︎
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Not at present. I am too stretched for time at the moment. It is more of a dump information of of my head to consult it later without keeping it in an active workspace portion of the head piece.
mircea_popescu: "As they succeeded, the cool is gone" << so fucking true!
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo is there some subtext of "hey, anyone wanna finance my becoming a grower" in there ?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> lmao the drug on wars. ok, i was entertain't. << Intentional
BingoBoingo: *not taken to collecting
mircea_popescu: lmao the drug on wars. ok, i was entertain't.
BingoBoingo has not taken to close measurements of vital signs
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo it does go pretty faint, the respiration. which yes, can definitely panic the more medically-informed. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: There have been a number of times in Uruguay where I walked through what could have been "opium den" scenes, except without anyone being in danger of acute respiratory cessation
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo there's no such thing as "propogation"!
mircea_popescu: http://bingology.net/2018/10/14/that-one-agricultural-product-and-uruguay/#selection-125.68-125.85 << i've recently seen this, it was something else. "like triple-dose ketamine"'d be the best way to describe it, nevermind "could not walk", subj could not keep eyes open, 6+ hrs.
mircea_popescu: bwahaha. good thing hilary clinton gave them their rights!
BingoBoingo: In other punchlines, titless canadian man wins a women's cycling championship
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: ty, fxd
mircea_popescu: it's kinda funny how the predictable result of an hour's logs is that... "hey guise... there's even MOAR space at the trough than we thought! you have engineermanyears to put to some use ? ohohoh here, here, uses, pick, choose!"
asciilifeform: a trooly ultimate sane replacement could replace both, yes
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i thought trinque was doing that exact thing for the linux machine.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-14 14:22 mircea_popescu: MEANWHILE, however, they have 100% unaccounted for the time externality. so basically it's a contest consisting of a guy without legs going about finding fault with people's fingers. because he's decided "legs don't count", and so as he has much better hands than the rest of those losers he should be captain of the football team.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform precisely my poiont. yet again as always & forever, the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-14#1783773 of http://trilema.com/2018/democracy-sucks-the-two-thousand-four-hundred-and-change-years-old-version/ at work. ☝︎
asciilifeform: btw phf , i'm starting to think that esthlos-vtron could be turned into a proper replacement for asdf,quicklisp,all the heathen rubbish packagerisms
mircea_popescu: (and the experienced historians among the "anyone" guessing will point to -- HIDDEN EXTERNALITY!!! as fucking always! they hijacked their conversation channels to repeat over and over AND OVER again "if you want it -- write it", ie, "the cost of portability, as the backflow of using stupid hardware, is hidden under the rug tee heee")
a111: Logged on 2018-10-15 00:25 phf: but you would never know, because in sbcl it generally does the right thing
asciilifeform: ( or consider http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-15#1862533 thread ) ☝︎
mircea_popescu: how the fuck they managed to live before, uncomputable-cost-portability herp derp is anyone's guess.
asciilifeform: hence the retardation of autoconfism
asciilifeform: 'portability' without active testing is an empty promisetronic thing
mircea_popescu: after us, it is a stable, sustainable and sane item, two data points : "to get x you burn y, make a call"
mircea_popescu: ussed is worth having, why do you think maintaining the respective branch is too much work ?"
a111: Logged on 2018-10-15 16:44 asciilifeform: supposing anybody actually needed this.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform to go back to that thread : i suppose the "portability" discussion is deeply broken in empire (and no, linus, rms and friends aren't "a republic of their own", they're leningrad school and naught else). consider how http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-15#1862894 drives the dilemma : "if the trouble of maintaining a tree is not justified, why do you think the iron discussed is worth having ? if you think the iron disc ☝︎
mircea_popescu: the puzzler of all time for the average fetlife-grazed chickie, too. "wait... you mean to tell me ~you~ don't really care to talk ~to me~ ?!@?!?! but pantsuited hilarity gave us our rights!!!" sorta "this development goes neatly against everything i've been told to believe."
mircea_popescu: because yes, there very much is such a thing as a bar for civilisation, or at the very least for conversation. ~could~ talk to anyone, much like ~could~ very much shit outdoors ; but one strangely enough discovers in a short time that... doesn't really want to.
mircea_popescu: and this started after eg mpoepr's ~exhausting the live ponds.
mircea_popescu: soon thereafter returned, very puzzled -- why doesn't $x ever wash ?!"
mircea_popescu: god knows all my attempts to dialogue, from http://trilema.com/surprised-by-joy-the-shape-of-my-early-life-adnotated to http://trilema.com/2017/the-ethics-of-liberty-by-murray-n-rothbard-adnotated-part-vi-a-crusoe-social-philosophy/ to http://trilema.com/2014/on-the-superiority-of-monarchy-or-adnotations-to-why-the-worst-get-on-top/ to what have you are entirely indistinguishable from "one day, mp decided to pay $x a visit ;
asciilifeform: ups the bar for civilization, indeed, sorta like once you've used indoor shitter you generally intend to keep using
mircea_popescu: i suppose they do create some obligation, as per ye olde "if you can -- you must", in the sense that much like girl can't imagien why she'd mate with dood who doesn't use soap, i can't imagine why i'd talk to dood who "has ideas" or w/e they call being filthy outside the walls.
mircea_popescu: not that anyone has to use them for any purpose. but -- they do indeed exist.
mircea_popescu: anyway, whole point being that we have elaborate research-driving/agreement-building & history-preservation tools.
asciilifeform: supposing anybody actually needed this. ☟︎
asciilifeform: i've used this in embedded boxen
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: btw for completeness strictly, note that there exists a ~third~ crc32 : division normally, but optionally generates table and then continues with table
a111: Logged on 2018-10-15 11:37 slycordinator: So, to introduce myself, I'm an American living in Korea teaching English and studying data science/machine learning in my free time
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-15#1862805 << any of the koreans you teach meet the qualifications of a) female b) young c) bright and d) active ? cuz there might be a job opening for one. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-10-15 11:30 slycordinator: I thought it was him. I sent a PM earlier but wasn't sure if someone else was also involved.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-15 10:26 ave1: btw, gnat specific; System.OS_Lib has 'Create_New_File' (it also has a temp file generator, but I cannot recommend, uses digits). bvt's implemention looks the way to go (Although the string allocations to talk to C should be removed)
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-15#1862793 << i'd rather never have to import c strings anywhere either, i'd say a major goal of the whole effort is to get rid of them. so paranthesis-yes! ☝︎
mircea_popescu: then later, when he had the time for it, or when others saw the wisdom of the point after his death, or whenever, that stub could've been replaced with the proper item.
mircea_popescu: so -- looking back to the crc32 situation, suppose that for whatever reason the consensus wasn't "yeah, should definitely have both" but "division is stupid, only tables are needed". at that juncture, ave1 could have made an alternate patch to the crc32-lookup consisting of merely a changed manifest, saying "Hey, for so and so reasons I think this should be a crc32-division, I intend to do it later."
a111: Logged on 2018-10-15 03:55 mircea_popescu: the leaves downstream from EACH n1 needn't be identical, nor needn't be different. in effect, the tree now has TWO groups of maintainers : those who maintain type 2 tree, for embeds, will not === those who maintain type 1 tree, for general use.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-15#1862676 << speaking of this, might as well take the time to discuss the "stub manifest" point. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: eulora is so much fucking nicer when you wake up to a working foxybot!
asciilifeform: just when i think 'no moar shitoshi surprises possible', i turn up yet another.
asciilifeform: in unrelated noose, mod6 et al : loox like trb doesn't remove banned peers from its addr table ! i.e. offers their addrs up to others, as if they were proper noades!! i never noticed this previously, it had to wait to be found empirically. really oughta be fixed, and pretty simple patch. ☟︎☟︎
