ben_vulpes: fireworks are just marvelous for
a fourteen month old's sleep
☟︎ jhvh1: BingoBoingo: Error: "Congrats" is not
a valid command.
mats:
a day long shit show of people getting wasted and stumbling around causing trouble
BingoBoingo: But for srs, this is
a very azn way of handling people
mats: parliamentarians appear to be trying to push it through despite some polling indicating
a 1:1 split in public opinion
mats: in much less interesting news, tw is in
a tizzy over
a draft law regarding same-sex marriage
trinque: it is the empty set that explodes in circles in my mind, not that I deny that it must be named first. that the definition of all things has void as
a dependency induces virtigo when looking out at the world.
mircea_popescu: when you first expand your sex life to include
a woman, you vividly remember her, and everyhing, minute detail. and once it further expands to include two, still. and three, and slightly dimmer four. by six its growing steadily dimmer, and maybe by the 7th is the first time you start losing track of them.
trinque: no, and I perceive that proceeding further will require more than
a casual understanding of mathematics.
mircea_popescu: and on the other hand, "the number four told me to headbutt
a door!". really, it did ? i suppose, perhaps, if the number four is followed by
a double-sifr and occurs on your blood test result sheet right where the locals wrote "glucemia" it may be said "the number four told me to stop eating icecream", but it is rather forcing the point.
mircea_popescu: and in this perspective, arguments as to the existence of gods become truly amusing. even in
a world in which, through some strange workings of happenstance, no set of four items did in fact exist, nor ever had, and supposedly never will... there's also no number 4 ?
mircea_popescu: apollo the symbol strives to mark down the discovery of apollo the god, much like ٤ stives to mark down the number 4. you wouldn't know it to look at the poor thing, but it is what the ~actual~ arabic numeral for
a set of four items looks like.
mircea_popescu: "i gotta borrow trinque for
a minute. i scrubbed the expiry off my pgp key, which of course makes
a new pubkey even if it is the same modulus as before" not "i gotta borrow trinque for
a minute. i have
a refreshed (nonexpir) pubkey as of 5 min ago"
mircea_popescu: now do me
a favour and also deliver the habit of sorting what you say in order of node importance!
mircea_popescu: "but they're both written down with letters". so what if they are. if i shoot an hour of
a woman fucking half
a dozen men, thereby i've constructed
a woman ?
trinque: I'm saying
a man creates "apollo" the symbol as an act of will
mircea_popescu: you don't make
a very good teacher, even as you're
a fine engineer!

http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-31#1594446 <<< i'm confused, isn't the 8-ball
a set of factors that you multiplied into the running product, and for which 're-running' makes little sense, as being already present in the global factors product?
mircea_popescu: to be
a god they must have purpose without purpose ; both observably and demonstrably the Central Committee (which is what this is) do not.
mircea_popescu: i would say it is improper, because the fundamental quality of
a god is that it's not constructible, much like no woman ever came in the shape of
a lego set, be the parts delivered together or scattered in the landscape. conversely if you prefer, it is not proper because gods contain the metaphysical equivalent of
a teleological dimension.
trinque: but then I don't know enough about that end of things to know whether the ideology actually flowed from
a particular fountain
trinque: mircea_popescu: I've wondered whether it is apt to call these human aggregates gods, in that the term was
a passable label for distributed-world-model running among nodes of
a wot
mircea_popescu: what rms thought, in his amusing naivite, to be defending hadn't in fact existed for
a decade by the point news of it reached him. fruhlingserwachen, the steiner offensive.
mircea_popescu: and it is
a hope based on something, right or wrong. "is russia more complex than gcc ?"
mircea_popescu: "it could buy russia" does not mean - it could. it means - if anyone on our side has
a prayer - them.
mircea_popescu: this apple, nsa, whatever, nobody gives
a shit, but this "apple" is the empire's last hope, half-Alphabet-half-AAPL-half-contractors whatever it is.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: not as productively, yes, not for the end user, at any rate, but there never was
a rule that intelligence be benevolent.
mircea_popescu: the "apple software ecosystem", while on
a level dysfunctional as ben_vulpes oft informs us, is on another edge intricately designed.
mircea_popescu: which is NOT
a random string, nor the result of
a markov process, run on dry sand or wet protein.
mircea_popescu: and then thought abvout it, and then came up with
a model for
a world which includes gcc, and then ran simulations of that world and evaluated which moves best serve
a specified interest.
mircea_popescu: someone, or for the sake of rigor, "someone",
a tom knight equivalent, sat down and read all of gcc, slowly, loaded it in head. i do not mean, "one version". i mean ALL of gcc, like i know words in the sense of who is their mother and their father and the fine degree derivatives in all trees in ten languages. all of gcc.
phf: windows for
a longest time had
a very stable abi, as per "you can run windows 95 programs still!1", where's i suspect mac os x probably doesn't. it's the same problem on openbsd, sure you can static link, but you will have to recompile after the next release.
mircea_popescu: llvm is, from
a gnoseologic point of view,
a superset of gcc, the upper node.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform to say it again : llvm is not "
a competitor" for gcc. llvm was written quite exactly with full knowledge of gcc in mind. you know they fully understand how gcc works, and i don't mean on the first order, but on the last, BECAUSE of little signs like these.
mircea_popescu: this being the difference between
a technology company like apple and
a media company like yahoo, aka microsoft : the former actually fit gcc / their erstwhile competition in head. the latter just blather on in the hopes the holy paper clip will help with the printing press.
phf: we briefly exploerd this fun fact back when static linking became
a thing (with bitcoind)
mircea_popescu: sure. they know how to do it ; llvm is not "
a competitor" for gcc, the notion that someone could "hold out" is nonsense. llvm was written quite exactly with full knowledge of gcc in mind.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-31 04:50 asciilifeform: 'The ability to limit concurrent coredumps allows dumping core to be safely enabled in these situations without affecting responsiveness of the system as
a whole. I have several servers running with this patch applied (actually backported to v2.6.26) and it has allowed me to deal successfully with the situation described above.'
Framedragger: probably
a useful piece of code to have anyway; actual tests for proper maintenance. :)

☝︎☟︎ a111: Logged on 2016-12-30 22:18 asciilifeform: historically accurate to the point of wtf -- even radio controls (what good are they in
a sim?) are there.
trinque: lel, it's been
a busy day!
mircea_popescu: at least i banned
a bunch of people for join/part spamming the logs today
mircea_popescu: so you did nothing, the 8ball didn't do it, and it's not
a rank repeat.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes
a space in the set of integers where nsa parked its special, "secretly" nonprime eggs.
trinque: having
a read db separate from workhorse db is pretty normal.
trinque: if you are already loading whole db, dumping whole db, repeat, could fart the thing into
a second display database somewhere in there.
trinque: but not much of
a recommendation can be made blind, anyway
trinque: probably would involve replication to
a db not doing the phuctoring
ben_vulpes: imma leave phuctor to stuff the log, kid is awake and i'm going to squeeze
a skosh more dopamine out of the evening
ben_vulpes: look put
a proper promotional video together you'd be happy to see in public
ben_vulpes: gabriel_laddel_p: i saw
a few names and project details, figured they were placeholder content
gabriel_laddel_p: ben_vulpes: it is 14 min long, go, watch the whole thing, think about it for
a bit and get back to me.
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: because I've already had
a legion of idiots (#clim) show up when I show off masamune in public.
ben_vulpes: just out of curiosity, asciilifeform, why is key download...
a submit button?
