ben_vulpes: <ascii_modem> ben_vulpes: what did mit do, eat your cat? << 'tis a tentacle of the beast slithering out of the lake, seeking to fasten its suckers onto and drag under those who'd otherwise fight by my side
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> well here's to not. << happens to all of us, no sense derping about when or under what conditions.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes and this person was under 30, and had never taken a virgin asshole, or planted a tree or butchered as much as a rabbit, couldn't put together a disassembled weapon of their choice if they had the whole day
ben_vulpes: it's the mircea_popescu show!
assbot: Logged on 11-04-2015 19:14:20; ben_vulpes: the most that'll happen is that you'll get patches regendering the codebase.
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: What about using citations found on WikiPedia from somewhat credible sources (post 1980) that lack PGP sigs?
ascii_modem: ben_vulpes: what did mit do, eat your cat?
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel see, the djikstra quotes are great. because they are SOMEONE.
mircea_popescu: !up ascii_modem
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: "this" the distro?
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel " I've assembled some quotes from Wikipedia which paint, from what I could tell, an accurate picture," what is the meaning of "from what i could tell" in that sentence ? because the follow-up, "I've lived in the US for 22 years and heard nothing about" seems essentially an appeal to ignorance. but that aside, how does the "From what i could tell" construct emerge here ?
trinque: mircea_popescu: my old boss called it the "end-user/developer divide."
trinque: ben_vulpes: 6.1 was eric's thought on the matter as well

trinque: ben_vulpes: this writeup is triggering my end-user-programming ptsd
ben_vulpes: gabriel_laddel: 6.2.3 has some bogus character formatting
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel if you wish the path analogy, moocs are like tourists : they go "to a foreign country", spend their time between local mcdonalds and local starbucks in the "idiot foreigners" quarter.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel autodidacts are a case of split personality
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel show, don't tell.

mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel "MOOCS (massively open online courses and the like) have failed due to fundamental issues with their technical perspective - a perspective shared by nearly the entire fiat world. New frontiers have opened, Masamune provides a technical foundation for mission critical programmes of the future."
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell gabriel_laddel "If you're reading this on github there is a more attractive HTML version here." but "here" IS on github. subdomain.gutrot.io

Chillum: mircea_popescu: I found this: http://tim.jagenberg.info/2015/01/18/low-power-esp8266/ the sleep mode power consumption is 78 microamps and it can wake up and transmit packets in < 2ms
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not mystery
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell funkstein_ not bad.
asciilifeform tries to recall mircea_popescu's post re: how modern notion of 'chain of command' applied to medieval structures is simplistic; remembers that www is down
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i had an eerily 'sovok' experience the other day. went to a shop that sold, among other items, wooden planks. needed one sawed to fit in car. waited for whole hour, while clerk after clerk inquired, where, where is the one and only man authorized to use saw (kept under lock and key)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: we - or at least i - knew that you're fond of courtroom challenge. but i can't help but also remember the various folk who tried this in ussr.
assbot: Logged on 11-04-2015 04:54:00; mircea_popescu: Guest64542 you know about the log ?
asciilifeform was kinda surprised, he admits, to learn that mircea_popescu even hosts in a part of the world which even pretends to honour dmca etc.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it is a more or less plain case of 'i have the right to wear this rape dress'
Chillum: mircea_popescu: as usual the conversations here require context that takes time to learn
decimation: mircea_popescu is performing a service for folks too poor to afford a lawyer
decimation: mircea_popescu: true, but I suspect that the dc could 'find you violating' without asserting anything w.r.t. dcma claims
Chillum: mircea_popescu: "chills" is what they called me in high school
Chillum: mircea_popescu: I know I was using it before the web
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'refused to dismiss counter-claim.' but how did the case end?
decimation: mircea_popescu: couldn't the dc simply claim that you were violating their tos?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i predict that the case will hinge on whether 'fetlife' is a tendril of usg in good standing
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: l0l, not even copyrasty ?!
assbot: Logged on 27-09-2014 15:41:18; dignork: mircea_popescu: on a concept level lurkmore is a copy of encyclopedia dramatica, but they do much better job imho
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: e2 ?
asciilifeform goes to dig for the trilema summarizing mircea_popescu's conference-ii speech re: this, but remembers that his www is down
Chillum: mircea_popescu: it is nothing more than a starting point for understanding
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this actually is a two-layered shit sandwich
assbot: Logged on 11-04-2015 00:04:38; asciilifeform: <mircea_popescu> ... dude, why so disdainful ? if you don't trust people you don't know on the basis of what they write << because i can see the hallmarks of educated mendacity. the man, whoever he is, knows that i know the history. and pretends otherwise, and that he has some sort of 'lesson' for old ignorant me. i know the type, they infest (or once did) my comments section.
Chillum: mircea_popescu: my spelling is lacking, but I assume you can make out my meaning
asciilifeform: <mircea_popescu> i wish to see the female alf. and her shoe collection. << lol, 'i wish to meet the female chingis khan and her sheep collection'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: a man-portable encyclopaedia (and Forth interpreter!) that runs on two batteries for several years and does not need the net seemed like a good idea.
Chillum: mircea_popescu: self propelled humans
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: http://vilavi.ru/pes/aviamarsh/avi1.shtml << example. massive mega-historical-derp re: whether nazi stole an iconic song, 'aviators' march', from su, or vice-versa
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: eh there was a good bit of 2-way
Chillum: mircea_popescu: If I must
assbot: Logged on 21-02-2015 01:19:34; mircea_popescu: "she's been going through 6-7k each month since autumn, but i get to go visit p diddy whenever i feel like it. it's a wash"
asciilifeform: but mircea_popescu has a point here, in that a pet does not -cost- very much per se
decimation: mircea_popescu: is this related to the dcma thing?
assbot: Logged on 12-03-2015 01:35:08; mircea_popescu: btw, anyone know how cockney got to be called that ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu ^
Cummerbund: mircea_popescu: Do you mean if the subject matter is poor? I'm merely referring to sentence structure. I would at least like to pretend that the subject matter is okay
decimation: mircea_popescu: of course, most of the actual slave driving is directly done by.. engineers in management
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this was written already, in a parallel universe where this was not the actuality.
Cummerbund: You guys' all remind me how terrible my writing skills are. Nice post funkenstein_
