assbot: Logged on 30-10-2015 15:57:35; mike_c: ;;later tell adlai yeah, I don't see why not. I'll take a look at posting it somewhere.
mircea_popescu: http://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2011/10/you_are_the_98.html <<< best ever analysis of "ows" derpage. so good i don't even want to write one myself.
jurov: asciilifeform: sadly i don't have your message because it started eating the bounces for yet unknown reason
mircea_popescu: i count myself fortunate you don't know about j/g
phf: actually i don't think v6 has threads
phf: could crosscompile the core, but openssl/boost, i don't even imagine the scope of that one
punkman: asciilifeform: a tenured prof is prolly the closest thing that presently exists in the western world to ~titled nobility~ << I don't buy it. Back when tenure was a thing, they wanted to keep professors around until parts started falling off. Now there's an endless stream of "professors", and gotta hire them so they can say "our PHDs get jobs"
mircea_popescu: i don't get this : not like you can't put encryption on top of a clear channel
mircea_popescu: "You will observe the Keisha does not even have the enthusiasm to know what is written on the most important economic documents of her life. "I don't know, bipolar, panic attacks, whatever they put on there." She can't be bothered to handle those papers, someone else is in charge of that. How attentive will she be to the frier? McDonalds doesn't want to find out."
assbot: Logged on 18-10-2015 16:46:39; asciilifeform: 'this problem will not be solved for you personally, pray that your grandchildren get to live like people' <--> 'but i don't want to have children, i want to live like people ~myself~'
v_diddy: i don't think pete's actually interested in /building/ the skoolarium ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i don't get what that tilt derpage i supposed to be
gabrielradio: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=29-10-2015#1310923 << tbh, i'm completely oblivious of the indivual players. i don't watch the games i bet on. i often place bets on teams i haven't heard of. i trust the people doing the analyses, our incentives being aligned. i like to view is as an investment and detach myself emotionally from the games ☝︎
ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=30-10-2015#1311991 << did i sleep through this? i don't recall adlai sc4mz0ring anybody - he just writes commonlisp, dourly ☝︎

assbot: Logged on 13-11-2014 22:09:24; mircea_popescu: don't bother with the wot, i'll neg you anyway.
assbot: Logged on 29-10-2015 08:32:51; mircea_popescu: this is, incidentally, a fundamental point to be considered for those inclined to interact with the scum (aka, non-qntra reporters), a point which that seduction expert (i don't recall which one but was in the logs - something about how he went on a "live" show where the 5 dollar audience bood him on cue) : you do want to control their codes. because you must project your own ownership of reality, an
asciilifeform: how would i know, i don't drive one of these things
diana_coman: I'd have though it was much simpler than that mircea_popescu: most people don't like learning.
Namworld: I don't mind testing the game whenever I have some free time.
mircea_popescu: there is no "resistance through culture", you don't get to tell me "hey i knew all along X was a scam, i just promoted it ironically"
ascii_field: but i don't work in either.
mircea_popescu: is it because i eat the tainted food of argentines, who are the sort of people who don't fly, and probably for a reason ?
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: unless your intel folks told you something i don't know about tlp - his life is a pisspot because he lives and works in usaschwitz being veterinarian to the cattle, rather than because he fails to properly grasp the mechanics of 16 y.o. gurlz...
davout: and note that i'm extremely unqualified to speak on the subject, but it seems to me that as long as you behave, you don't get beaten up
assbot: Logged on 29-10-2015 09:46:02; davout: i don't really see why there should be only one kind of computer
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=29-10-2015#1310702 << i don't regard the subject as a box of mysteries. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: and I don't know any guy in the world who has an extra pack of socks available "just in case." << now you do. chicks (that don't even wear underwear!) carry spare socks and similar stuff around for my convenience. so there!
punkman: otherwise, I don't care about teh colors enough
ascii_field: i don't even have it.
mircea_popescu: i don't even want to do the unpacking.
gabrielradio: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-10-2015#1309423 << lol, pocket change is not "doing well". i need to liquidate anything & everything besides top earners and stash it into bitcoin & mpex, i don't want to try to solve an already solved problem ☝︎
mats: i don't have a reason i can table for scrutiny, just intuition -- there has been a lot of great work done in recent past that makes it possible to substantially reduce attack surface of e.g. linux, a monster weighing, what, 14mn loc now?
mats: i don't have your exhibitionist streak.
mircea_popescu: "Let's take all this at face value. Is he entitled? Delusional? I don't doubt for a moment he sincerely believes he is a lawyer, because lawyer for him isn't a profession or even a job, it's a label, a code word for a kind of intellectualism he wants for himself. As long as "all of my friends see me as..." it was well worth the cost. He didn't study to become an attorney, he bought a back-up identity." << exactly
mircea_popescu: "Bank bailouts, company bailouts -- I don't know, we're the generation of bailouts," he says in a hallway during a break from his Peak Discovery job. "And like, this debt of mine is just sort of, it's a little illusory. I feel like at some point, I'll negotiate it away, or they won't collect it."
pete_dushenski: imo the mental framework that a (canadian/uk) legal degree provides is that i) there are always loopholes to exploit, ii) you can debate anything, iii) don't ask a question unless you know the answer.
mircea_popescu: g. "I think I belong in a top tier school..." How do you know? The analogy is you have no idea what kind of a man you are and thus what kind of a woman would be right for you, so you just harass the girls that other people think are the best. Then if you don't get her you're angry at the girl ("these bitches just want jocks and legacy applicants"); and if you get her you're surprised to find that three years with
trinque: as for investing in deedbot I don't see the angle
phf: ben_vulpes: i don't think fmt is a horrible idea, but it (and similar packages like iterate) would've been great if they were part of the standard. as it stands they get you some elegance at the expense of being an idiosyncratic external dependency. you still have to learn format and loop, but once you do, you start thinking twice about replacing them with something marginally better.
asciilifeform: trinque: trick is that i don't do it in real time and with meat
asciilifeform: guess what, i don't give a ~flying fuck~ about 'it's more seek000re except against the folks with the master keys'
assbot: Logged on 27-10-2015 16:09:38; asciilifeform: i don't subscribe to the cosmography where the hoodlum is 'the better' and the concert violinist walking through the alley is 'a loser' because... because why, he oughtn't have such a soft skull? if he 'were anybody' he could afford a security detail? because why ?
asciilifeform: but i don't see how it would follow.

asciilifeform: i don't see them as 'my betters'
asciilifeform: (how to abolish 'rowhammer' ? a) don't use ddr3, why does a tetris-playing accountant need 128GB of ram?? b) use ram that is wired as a hash table, where n+1 is NOT physically adjacent or otherwise predictably distant from n. ---- BUTBUTBUT i want 128GB! but i want bust readwrite! FUCKYOU
mircea_popescu: "I don't expect journalists or anyone else to be free of moral ambiguity, but it should be a postulate that if you choose to write those words you should not also be having sex with your daughter. Allegedly.
trinque: I don't know why that article called it a kernel module; it was the "ok google" plugin
mircea_popescu: "And in Georgia, a state appeals court in 2004 upheld a hospital's decision to kick Dr. Donald Ray Taylor off its staff. The anesthesiologist had admitted giving young female patients rectal and vaginal exams without documenting why. He'd also been accused of exposing women's breasts during medical procedures. When confronted by a hospital official, Taylor said, "Maybe I am a pervert, I honestly don't know," according
BingoBoingo: "She animatedly tells a story about a recent Tinder rendezvous: “One time, I agreed to meet with this guy at 8 or 9 at night. Before we met, I said to him, ‘This is the work I do, I know the chief of police ... so, don't try and get creepy; I know all my rights.’ And five minutes later, he was like, ‘Actually, I'm really not OK with how you just assume I'm a bad guy. And I get very bad vibes from that, so we shouldn't hang
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> (google uses the gpl as a urinal and has, for years. this is not, i think, a secret.) << "don't be evil"!11
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=idgi | As two friends chuckled about how fake the scene looked one seemingly naive friend commented "I don't get it", "what's so funny?". At last the IDGI was re-born.
trinque: I don't tend to "abuse" substances
gabriel_laddel: well, that is a fair point, but I don't want to e.g., lose weight.
gabriel_laddel: trinque: I don't know.
gabriel_laddel: yeah, I don't know what this "being a man" stuff is about
gabriel_laddel: I understand the point you're making, but simply don't find that it applies to my situation.
mircea_popescu: <gabriel_laddel> and then I spend more time hacking apart portage than I would have otherwise << no you don't. this is like the ridiculous notion of teenagers that they'll make a car "better".
gabriel_laddel: I don't have ideas that I would consider interesting.
gabriel_laddel: and this goes away completely when I don't drink a lot of coffee
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: I simply don't understand what you're saying.
gabriel_laddel: apropos of nothing: if anyone here is addicted to coffee, and finds that caffine pills don't cut it, I've found that brand EasyUp works WONDERS.
mircea_popescu: i don't mean to impugn, btw.
asciilifeform: shinohai: i don't do x86 os.
shinohai: so I don't fuck up and buy a bad machine again
mircea_popescu: i don't even see much of a problem with tha.t
assbot: Logged on 14-10-2015 16:32:27; asciilifeform: 'I don't care if your language lawyers tell you gcc is right. THIS WILL CAUSE PEOPLE TO GET HACKED.' << this is not hundred percent idiotic. the c programming language is specified in such a way, with sufficiently pervasive 'undefined behaviours' and nonstandardized but inescapable routines, that it is ~physically impossible~ to program in it as-specified
mircea_popescu: Please don't misunderstand me, I am not blogging for money. I'm showing you that so much of what you think you know, what you think is fact, is established not by the force of evidence but by the absence of resources for the opposition. The ones with the money are all unanimously in agreement.
mircea_popescu: What do you think would happen if the NIMH paid astrophysicists to look into psychiatry? Ain't never gonna find out, they have their own problems. Specialization doesn't mean I'm the best, it means stay off my lawn. Since I/us/astrophysicists don't have the resources to publish at all/as fast as Pediatrics or CNN, they get to decide what's true.
mircea_popescu: If you don't like something going on in politics, there are ways to voice that. But looking deep into a "scientific" concept requires a level of sophistication which, if you possess it, means you're probably busy with a day job. So you have neither the time nor energy to dissect articles in Pediatrics-- and, anyway, no forum. I, at least have a semi-popular blog; but even so I'm subject to the same time and monetar
mircea_popescu: You mean because the further away we get from the hot news cycle, the less you're interested in the truth? And so apathy allows it to stand as true, because it all seems plausible (face validity, bitches.) That's social science for you. But the answer to your question is simple: I don't get paid to criticize studies. I have a job and a life and an alcohol problem that doesn't leave much room for blog posts.

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-10-2015#1306332 << and if you were to be against gpg, or against signed commits, or against "not everyone is/can be a contriobutor" or for "women in tech" in the sense of lipstick in the optic drive or a bunch of other equally nutty notionms, you could equally say "i don't think i am alone" and more importantly, FIND YOURSELF INCLINED TO SAY IT ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i don't explain 'em mr seinfeld, i just exterminate 'em.
mircea_popescu: they also don't put chunks of mango in the mango icecream i bet. you knolw ?
ascii_field: i don't need a 100MB pile of shit in my browser, ty
thestringpuller: me either. qntra isn't a webcomic so I don't expect it to monetize as such. but the webcomics have held their own.
ascii_field: and i don't think i am alone among thinking people in this position on paywalls. ☟︎
ascii_field: but then again i don't go in for consorting with strangers at all, so nobody-asked-me (tm)
jurov: anyway, i don't have any idea how you want it to be laid out. lxr's idea of versions is just a flat list.

danielpbarron: and I don't get the space between the last word of a sentence and the punctuation
trinque: though I don't know what they thought would have prevented it
trinque: I don't speak with many that'd be unaware they were well off.
pete_dushenski: <b></b> for bold and <i></i> for italic << my dumdum wp install does <strong></strong> for bold and <em></em> for italic. don't ask why but it seems unnecessary to specify which precise tags to use if strong/em seem to work just as well as b/i, which they do.
trinque: punkman: I don't either, likely due to string quoting in programming.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-10-2015#1305692 <<< meanwhile i xreferenced, he's the guy that wanted to do some hairbrained rent deposit insurance thing. i don't see anything actually negratable in there, so he's young and doesn't know all sorts of things. big whoop. everyone's born young. i don't see he did anything offensive past that. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: Signature is nice, but if Hitler writes better than submitter I don't yet have objections to hitler giving submitter shares. But that is an issue
mircea_popescu: i don't see the difference. obama 3rd term is probably a better outcome than trump vs hilary or w/e.,
mircea_popescu: i don't either. but i did study that show, like meade studied gorilla cock or whatever the fuck she studied.
mircea_popescu: this is why you can't have nice things. i end up with them and i don't even like them.
mircea_popescu: i have the blessed chomsky advantage. apparently this is rare, but, i don't mind bothering people.
ben_vulpes: yeah but i also don't care to have that conversation every single day
ben_vulpes: "i don't care how long you sleep or how long it takes you but this place better be clean and my underwear rolled in that drawer"
mircea_popescu: i also don't happen to think that "anthropology" conducted on the various types of monkey has any value whatsoever. it's roughly on the level of freud's practice, bored rich impotent folk want to play with their cock "elevatedly".
