asciilifeform: in other noose, http://www.rigelcorp.com/fiberoptic.htm << i dun think i can make'em cheaper than this.
gabriel_laddel_p: mircea_popescu: Would you mind explaining why what I'm doing constitutes "banging my head"?
mircea_popescu: mkay. i don't think this is working out for me.
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: I'm updating an incomplete svg parser someone else wrote + tying it to open government datasets.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally i fully expect whoever does the graphing work to end up with the core of what will be tmsr sexpr svg in the end.
gabriel_laddel_p: I was adding support for shapefiles and svgs earlier today because the "base layer" of masamune is complete, and I can now rely on it to grow with me moving forwards.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-30 16:43 gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: I'm not designing an atomic dirigible. I'm catching up on all the learning I've forsaken over the past four years to build Masamune. Yes, the eventual goal is to make a lispm, but it isn't as if I'm skipping meals to do CPU design.
asciilifeform: (i.e. without electron microscope)
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel_p: actually i somehow assumed that you wanted the metalens so as to enable chip microphotography in kitchen conditions
gabriel_laddel_p: I'm still confused about what I dropped.

asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel_p: i recommend to take the advice of mircea_popescu ! in the sense where it is a waste of brain cycles to , past certain point, design 'atomic dirigible' if you haven't with what to make it, and have no foreseeable approach to it
gabriel_laddel_p: ftr, I was asking if there are comparable effects at EM frequencies other than visible light. I presently have no use for said technology, though it would be fun to replicate.
gabriel_laddel_p: I wonder how hard it would be to "brain parasite" a community college..
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: I was not. And presently have no ideas as to how this would be done in jungle conditions.
mircea_popescu: not that i've seen.
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel_p: i get 'connection refused'
a111: Logged on 2017-01-30 15:05 asciilifeform: i suspect that reduction to practice is nontrivial.
asciilifeform: i suspect that it will not be long to wait, to find out which, if any, work.
mircea_popescu: "i was in the situation room" hillaric clinton's case was no different ; just that in the case of that old hag / usg asset nobody is interested in ass.
asciilifeform: did i sleep through announcement from obummer where '50 percent off tax if you post yer arse and you're a hot chick' ?
mircea_popescu: then the republic owned the usg.apple platform known as "the cloud" and published her naked ass. and the ustards, to quote, "https://archive.is/0E16N Even if it is her and something gets leaked let's give her and everyone listed the respect to their privacy. Though on this subreddit I'm sure it goes without saying." https://archive.is/0E16N#selection-1687.1-1701.166
mircea_popescu: and i submit the "fappening" is a fine example of how the usg-ustards close coupling works in practice, because it is. so : usg got all sorts of idiots, including for instance dreamer asset sarah schneider, to take pics of their ass and put on usg.apple cloud. like so : https://rektcelebs.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/sarah-schneider-naked-2.jpg
mircea_popescu: netmonk hey, it worked so well for india... and moreover socialist "europe" SO VERY MUCH wants to be just like india that i'm not at all surprised.
asciilifeform: i suspect that reduction to practice is nontrivial. ☟︎
gabriel_laddel_p: Incidentally, I have a copy of that volume and don't need a link.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> hey i genuinely disagree that power saw needs an 'am i sawing finger' sensor. << Ideally saw operator has said sensor
asciilifeform: i for one like being able to correctly display ALL v-pressables on my entire box.
mod6: Hm. Well, maybe I'll take out the check then. And it's really up to the operator.
mircea_popescu: i dunno what one must be smoking to imagine this will ever occur, but hey.
asciilifeform: hey i genuinely disagree that power saw needs an 'am i sawing finger' sensor.
asciilifeform: i still see 0 logical reason why 'flow' command has to barf -- it can happily display both flows. 'press', on the other hand, will NEVER have any problem knowing which flow to press to point P
asciilifeform: i can trivially cause it on my box by throwing, e.g., FUCKGOATS genesis, into trb dir...
asciilifeform: 'multiple roots' is 100% inevitably caused by patch curator (i.e. v operator) and never the submitters
mod6: ben_vulpes: i like how wotpaste works in lynx btw.
mod6: oh fwiw, like we discussed, I also added a "multiple roots found, continue?" question for the user.
mod6: the current #trilema-mod6 log is pretty short, but I've done some upfront testing with mulitple roots. If you want to see the info, here's a log link to the goods: http://logs.bvulpes.com/trilema-mod6?d=2017-1-29#0fde4881-aaa8-4bf7-ba7c-9c0bd0d3856c
mod6: I need to get the ball rolling for something like that with TRB as well.
mod6: it actually doesn't take long to set it up at all. but i need every spare minute possible for V atm. but when I have a few spare cycles, I'll get that going. at least I have a box for it now.
diana_coman: mod6, testing is still in the future of eulora mostly ; sadly; and I get what you say there: I wouldn't spend the time now to set the client up if it wasn't already there and ready to be left on its own for days at a time
mod6: but, i'll see about getting that new client setup. i kinda want to use foxybot to mine stuff for me.
mod6: diana_coman: well, i've got a box. my main focus has been getting these V changes put in. and pretty much think that's complete, but got a ton of testing in front of me.
mircea_popescu: not really. i don't think it ever gets under 15
mod6: *nod* it is fairly warm there. it certainly isn't like where I'm at. I mean, it's less extreme. Here it gets really hot and humid in the summer, and extra cold in the winter.
mod6: Yeah, no idea what they might have as far as game down in that region. Aside from like snakes. That's what I think of. Snakes.
mod6: I remember it being like a greasy chicken type thing. Even had some dark meat in there.
mircea_popescu: mod6 well if you mean north as in "past artic circle" then i mean south as in "past tropics"
mod6: When I was out west, most of the deer were "mule-deer" much smaller than their northern conterparts. But there were wild-boar... so I guess I guy could have his pick from jack-rabbits or boar, or mule-deer. *shrug*
mircea_popescu: i had it in alabama. pretty good.
mod6: Which can be pretty big I suppose. I had it once. Was pretty tasty.
mod6: I suppose there are alyways things to hunt. Just not quite as large of game maybe? Although in the south east, they love, for instance, alligator.
mod6: I would like that kinda thing I think. Maybe in another life.
mod6: Only like 7 families remain. Most of them live off of moose & caribu I would guess. Fish. etc.
mircea_popescu: i don't expect the whole "not for people" libertard thing will last.
mod6: I was watching this recent show about this part of alaska that's now been deemed only for wild-life. It's this huge area in the artic circle. Some people still live there though, as they were granfathered in.
mod6: Aha, I bet.
mod6: i totally missed out on that.
mircea_popescu: when i was a kid ~every male was supposed to be able to do this.
mod6: someday, I really wanna get into butchery
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, I missed that it seems
mircea_popescu: "and then after i had threw them at the ugly mothers of my enemies"
mod6: then after that I used a pair of metal cutting scissors and cut them in to very small pieces.
mod6: then after that I blow-torched 'em.
mod6: but then after that, i scrubbed them all with very corase sand paper.
mod6: so to the tune of boiling in tomato sauce... I did this.
mod6: lol, these people think i'm nuts. they're like, "mod6, how much do you want? quarter pound?." i'm like waving it in. "gimme the whole thing."
mircea_popescu: actually i was speaking of the pasta in tomato sauce with minced meat dish, but nevertheless :D
mod6: Oh, speaking of cured meats... I hit up the deli again today and picked up a bunch of different salami.
mod6: I'm starting a huge testing phase as we speak. I thought it was worth the effort to /try/ get it working for others.
Reuel: but I can't wait to boil disks in tomato juice
mod6: Despite all of the recent discussion around multiple roots... I was able to get that working in the forthcoming version.
Reuel: oh yeah I read that before but had no practical use for it as yet, liked it though
mircea_popescu: ah. i haven't.
Reuel: well I have to copy paste he OTP, run cmd line stuff, etc, just curious how many here automated the process
Reuel: Am I still up
pete_dushenski: in less acute instincts, this has to be the lousiest author bio i've seen in a while : "Gary Leff is one of the foremost experts in the field of miles, points, and frequent business travel - a topic he has covered since 2002. Co-founder of frequent flyer community Milepoint.com, emcee of the Freddie Awards, and named one of the "World's Top Travel Experts" byConde' Nast Traveler (2010-Present) Gary has been
asciilifeform: in other wtf, old mobo comes back to life just as i readied to hoist replacement into place.
pete_dushenski: danielpbarron: i hear you. and no disagreement here. pride will dig you into unnecessary ditches from which you'll then have to climb out. also, yw for auctioneering :)
pete_dushenski: apologies also for the delayed responses. as ^^ points out, i was away and pretty, pretty, pretty unplugged.
asciilifeform: then again i would not be the first to know, if this weren't so.
mircea_popescu: what can i tell you.
mircea_popescu: i like the place where you live ; and would love to visit sometime.
asciilifeform: trb is the only one i know of first-hand
asciilifeform: it is much harder problem than i suspected originally.
mircea_popescu: people generally look to answer the very simple "who the fuck is this guy again ?" ; "he found that quirk on so and so linux flavour" is a better response than "i dunno, he just started talking one day".
Reuel: good, I will start there then
Reuel: or should i use another os
mircea_popescu: ah. well, from a simple "cs competency" perspective, doing a trb build first is very good practice. i'll familiarize you with what's here a minimal bar of qualification and anywhere else above the reach of graduate students somehow. and it'll show you the power of the tools and the quality of the engineering.
Reuel: i see it ties into bitcoin in the log but
Reuel: no, but if I make something useful, that would be of more benefit I guess
Reuel: thing was I already started on the voting game back end
Reuel: the game I can still unleash on the unsuspecting masses
mircea_popescu: Reuel if i were into that, why wouldn't i do exactly what the retard with "coreboot" did, or that unmentionable dimwit with "tor" ?
mircea_popescu: but the problem remains : i can tell you why any engine doesn't work in all cases ; you can't tell me why people like or don't like anything in any case.
mircea_popescu: the other guy is an elven astrologer. she wants to put in there a large couch and other things, according to a complicated scheme she has, which at all junctures is justified formallyt and specifically, buyt in general it all backs into "because i think people'd like this".
Reuel: i get it
Reuel: I think, you believe that the choice in what to vote in is totally free.
Reuel: I would say this would greatly increase complexity, as well as the cost of mistakes in the implementation.
Reuel: mircea_popescu, diana_coman, re: your criticisms, I would say that, at the higher level, there is a choice in target audience, people who live democracy as implemented in the west and agree with it will find no trouble wasting time on a game like this, since it mimics familiar mechanisms (even if broken). In this particular channel, probably not enough ppl would be interested.
mircea_popescu: In their late twenties the most intelligent among them say to me, "There's something missing in my life, but I don't know what it is." ; and i grin and if they have nice tits and are tall enough i show them to their cell.
