mircea_popescu: consequently, nothing of theirs can be trusted. they don'
t have objects in the usual sense. they have religious artefacts.
mircea_popescu: so basically, that's the dispute. you believe turbine part is turbine part qua se, and i'm gonna say, "but alf... these aren'
t turbine parts, they're ~religious artefacts~. similarity to actual turbine parts ~coincidental~."
mircea_popescu: ie, you're a materialist-idealist. though with some derrogations, you don'
t like importing the code of these turbine makers.,
mircea_popescu: in the end this is the problem, isn'
t it -- you think that ~yes he is~ making something -- turbine parts. as if the parts have an existence beyond and above the incadom they're made in
mircea_popescu: i honestly could as well see it, for the same money i don'
t see it. not like it costs me.
mircea_popescu: i dunno, maybe you're right, and the problem is i've predetermined not to see it. but then again this is a terrifyingly weak argument, because of its association with a dutch moron called søren, whose bright idea it was to propose that the reason you don'
t see what distinguishes his fsm from all the others is that you don'
t want to!!!
mircea_popescu: in the very strict terminology of the turing test : if you get a mystery box you can'
t explain whether it contains type 1 moron or type 2 moron.
mircea_popescu: it's not merely that he can'
t "progress" in "levels" such that empire gives him an exception.
mircea_popescu: in that they're (as you well poined out) readily equivalent to "ai", they don'
t ~have to~ see a face.
mircea_popescu: ie, returning conquering heroes. they didn'
t get away with putting the precious cuntlets in their tailhookers place ; and that was THE LAST TIME.
mircea_popescu: consider the very similar case of cattle farm : cattle may think billy bob farmer is an ok guy, and doesn'
t even go to town that often.
mircea_popescu: the quataris also don'
t routinely introduce the indian slaves to the qatari admin office.
mircea_popescu: again -- just because you personally never saw the face of the usg allocated mamie in charge of usg.aspect in question doesn'
t mean jack. she's still there, and she's still getting the same per capita.
mircea_popescu: there's a reason neither methlabs nor sane workplaces ~advertise~. "come work here, we don'
t do the whole usg bs".
mircea_popescu: when i discuss some random cuntlet and you propose she's inexistent, i get you concretes. when you discuss some imaginary item, you don'
t extend the same courtesy.
mircea_popescu: but yes, the perpetual and universal hostis generis is precisely this "wanna everything be good and why can'
t everyone just be friends" schmuck.
mircea_popescu: anyway, this lulztron just won'
t quit. "Kriti Sarda, Recently moved to the United States Answered Jan 6, 2016 I work at Appknox and we are thought leaders in the mobile app security domain. I can unanimously agree with everyone here that cyber attacks WILL rise in 2016. Apart from that here are our predictions for the upcoming year - " (meanwhile this quora expert moved back to dfjkhgfkjhgkdjhkfj injia"
mircea_popescu: just because you didn'
t see douchebag's julia... o wait. i think you might've...
mircea_popescu: heck, odds are they met "at a conference" where they "being professional" to each other etc (ie, didn'
t fuck, notwithstanding how dimly regarded teens who don'
t do it are)
mircea_popescu: in other news, i fucking loathe that interactivecorp footer. never EVER seen it on a site that didn'
t suck balls in the exact wikipedia style of cheap cardboard alt-reality.
billymg: if that's a worthwhile goal i wouldn'
t mind tackling some of that next
billymg: i think there also might be some opportunities to remove code from mp-wp. for example, the included tinymce browser text-editor plugin seems to come with three different themes. i haven'
t looked too closely but i'm guessing only one of them is actually used
mircea_popescu: you don'
t see "african americans are the scum of the human race, accidentally transported against their own capacity to our lands" in the respective article, do you ?
mircea_popescu: you don'
t see THAT mentioned in those articles, do you ?
diana_coman: does anybody know whether/how can I use Ada task types from C/CPP code? afaik from GNAT docs there isn'
t a way to export task types as such

a111: Logged on 2019-01-06 16:55 mircea_popescu: just the sheer insanity of the js loading model. who the fuck can'
t put it all in one file ?
mircea_popescu: much like "all that needs to be, or can be expressed in redskin tongue takes <1 page, which is why they don'
t need writing, can remember a page"

http://btcbase.org/log/2015-07-08#1193607 << this makes for a pretty lulzy re-read, in the context of the meanwhile better fleshed out notions of structure and trees and whatnot. isn'
t it obvious, asciilifeform , that the ~substantial difference~ is not at all the "head rng" but simply the extension and especially quality of the conceptual trees involved ? the "head v" so to speak ?
☝︎ mircea_popescu: "being in legal trouble" is generally a decent first order approximation of that youth. (not that the empire isn'
t abusing imagignarly "legal process" to attempt to wage war and other such bs, but i guarantee you nobody targetted some schmuck selling fireworks in rural bumfuck because of his roger ver-ness.)
mircea_popescu: so the idea of
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-19#1881910 isn'
t as much "don'
t make promises to people outside the walls" ; it's rather "don'
t make the ~sort of promises~ they make outside the walls ; but if you're too young to know the difference don'
t make any at all".
☝︎ mircea_popescu: efore -- that is, zero-cost shouting ; (the bounty of that experience also readily provides us with a luxury no woman knew before -- that is, zero-cost defloration, the experience of the "significant" cost of expression as perceived afore the fact dissolving into nothingness with the consummation, "what a big deal writing this blogpost was going to be that it didn'
t turn out to be after all") ; and so following.
mircea_popescu: the reason i wrote
http://trilema.com/2018/patriarchy-vs-matriarchy-the-straight-dope/ wasn'
t that i was bored that day ; or that i don'
t like people. for as long as you continue thinking your value is established by some woman, you will continue having the same ~type~ of problems. they can be colored any way you like, and lives can readily be spent in that coloring exercise ; but as far as substance is concerned they will be

phf: i agree that the secrecy approach doesn'

☟︎ phf: i don'
t see sharing of parts, or the whole with asciilifeform under whatever terms, etc. irrespective of what will be done as resolving anything: i made original promises in good faith, and i'll be breaking them. my ideas of how to work around that were idiotic and in retrospect that was an obvious mistake, which ftr asciilifeform avoided by refusing any kind of dealings. on the other hand the point
phf: "talking past each other" comment was on point, i don'
t know about asciilifeform, but i was just shouting.
phf: i have nothing to dispute in the thread or in the consecutive conversations that i wasn'
t part of. for one, i think i lost my shit (i'm sure week 2 of grandmother also didn'
t help), because the very first mp reaction was the whole deal, with my role and the outcomes being immediately obvious: i made amorphous promises outside of the republic, and then attempted to badly navigate around them, with the inevitable result. trinque's
a111: Logged on 2019-01-05 14:38 mircea_popescu: so, phf : how about you start clearly communicating yourself, beginning with a complete, correct and true to life adnotation of said discussion in your own hand, because this "ima go meditate on things until everyone involved forgot what i was meditating on" isn'
t a workable approach to intellectual life.
phf:
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-05#1884626 << i wasn'
t meditating, i just don'
t have the mental energy to defend myself. i'm in russia primarily to take care of my grandmother who has dementia, and she was in a pretty critical state when i got here. i'm sure it'll stabilize, but as of right now i don'
t trust myself to have rational conversations around sensitive subjects online.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: same exact reason preteen boys don'
t discuss their "sexual conquests" within hearshot of adult woman.
mircea_popescu: libraries, definitionally, contain functionality some end users won'
t use.
mircea_popescu: anyway, nothing wrong with that ffa design choice, if you like it ; if you don'
t anymore, also not the end of world.

t have very small factors. pick a nonzero remainder mod 2, mod 3, ... mod largest-prime-fit-in-your-primorial and find what number of primorial is congruent to it using chinese remainder theorem
mircea_popescu: i don'
t get it how you expect to multiply some value by a (product of primes +1) and not get an even number.
mircea_popescu: lobbes on the positive side, at least now you know that should that occur, it won'
t occur in 2019.

diana_coman: well, if they don'
t, they'll find out quickly :|
diana_coman: well, I hardly see how you can *stop* people from using it directly or why exactly; and the endian + div0 don'
t sound like a huge layer anyway
a111: Logged on 2014-10-15 19:58 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform to follow that model. qntra isn'
t a seller of 0-dioxin, 1814-equivalent tomatoes, but a greengrocer where they don'
t hire retards and don'
t mix shit in the fruit sala.d
diana_coman: asciilifeform, sometimes I wonder what exactly do you think you need/don'
t have to move to Romania or wherever else you consider it to be "paradise, can now do just ffa/trb/..."
diana_coman: well, don'
t get flattened please, there's already waay more work than active hands as it is
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it doesn'
t ; nor will it, because what truly brings serpent in is the ~space~ not the time problem. ie, because of padding, straight rsa doubles message bulk, which is a major problem for online game.
mircea_popescu: point being : de-sslification of bitcoin is not stalled on this. it is stalled on prior de-sslification of cuntoo, which as such doesn'
t yet exist, which is not really stalled on this either.
mircea_popescu: the ~algo~ tho. not specifically for v trees, but it strikes me there doesn'
t exist currently a bin differ ~at all~.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-06 23:51 phf: asciilifeform: i don'
t have binary diffing even in prototype form, if you could adaize your needleman-wunsch i could add it to vtools, the way i did with diana_coman's keccak
a111: Logged on 2019-01-05 14:22 mircea_popescu: finally, asciilifeform is working on rsa-based ssl-ism replacement (notwithstanding he ~seems to be~ working on any and all wank on the "side" during spare time he doesn'
t have and all that), which we want so we can finally move bitcoin off sheer cretinity and into cuntoo (and which is principally why we want sane db also, but as i said -- yet immature).

☟︎ diana_coman: fwiw I can'

mircea_popescu: "Python ints don'
t have a fixed number of\ndigits." priceless. especially for the 000a intercalation.
mircea_popescu: (ie, you are MORE likely to die for being behind sheet lead/steel/whatever than not. because high energy electron won'

mircea_popescu: don'

mircea_popescu: i guess one doesn'
