mircea_popescu: the whole "make your bot only respond to x" thing is a fine proxy for "make linux kernel only respond to x" hardness.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger why exactly is scriba reacting to non !$ strings ? eh ?
mircea_popescu: incientally by now "Wrongly inclined book" is ~= "imbecility in writing". there was a time when english style spines were promising. today, it's guaranteed to be some nonsense a la blue apron / fingerpaint cezanne
mircea_popescu: diana_coman reportedly theyt looked like the result of a crashed failvan.
mircea_popescu: they also had picasso. shockingly missing, waterhouse. because totally, there's anyone else i'd wanna do in crayons.
mircea_popescu: HOWEVER, and this is the kicker : 4.4. a book of "painting masters -- paint cezanne by the numbers" WAS included.
mircea_popescu: 4.2. the philosophy section IS NOT SORTED ALPHABETICALLY
mircea_popescu: 4.1. there is a philosophy section, taking 1/8 of one shelf, or ~0.625% of all floor space
mircea_popescu: 4. that returned this morning. the results are as follows : the library consists of a first half that's packing paper, shiny beads and well wishing cards
mircea_popescu: 3. after this bizarre situation, walking downtown with same girl, we went past library, where i pointed out book by roland barthes, and said "buy it and gift it her".
mircea_popescu: 2. she never heard of kirkegaard, she never heard of sartre, SHE NEVER HEARD OF KANT. girl goes TO SCHOOL for this shit.
mircea_popescu: 1. girl introduced me to local chick who hjas a job she hates and tries to study "metaphysics" which she explains as "life" and "healing". basically a large pile of hooey (she has the disadvantage of being black , which comes packaged with a bunch of stupid fat old women and their self-sufficient notions of "life" and "healing", tribal bullshit that should have been extirpated by whip and fire but apparently wasnt).
mircea_popescu: an attempt to have fun is how one starts on the long and winding primrose path of self radicalization
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes nah. talking about the "director of national intelligence" and "chairman of joint chiefs of staff"
mircea_popescu: much like the cock cage on the impotent middle aged man. saves him a middle age crisis -- it's not that it dun get up, it safely can't so all is well.
mircea_popescu: anyway, macroeconomically speaking i fully expect us to enact trade barrier simply because the us population is desperate for some protection. if it CANT buy the chinese crap because it's not allowed it gets to not buy it ; if it can it has to come up with some way to justify not buying it on its own and it's way too dumb, soft and useless for that. so in this perspective tariffs are +ev politically.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform people dun generally want to drop the hand once it becomes obvious it can't win, because reasons. it was obvious re swiss once they "agreed" to drop bank secrecy. it was obvious re trump once he "agreed" to promote niggers. etcetera.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger not just polish, ro also. i mocked it at length on trilema.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform amuysingly enough, since both fiat figures are made for the same purpose through the same process, their ratio is probably closer to reality than not.
mircea_popescu: yes. and a good way to judge what % of world hands are involved would be to divide the aggregate cost by the aggregate world gdp.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno pvc molding takes thatmany hands.
mircea_popescu: trinque btw don't get deterred, we do want deedbot wallet before any kind of deeds search.
mircea_popescu: right it's right there on re-read, rows removed by filter
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes mebbe noob, but i can't figure it from the paste. so 40kb of ram and 66 hits but how many total lines or index items or w/e it sifted through ?
mircea_popescu: and since nobody's taking the bait : similarities between dog and engineer : both have intelligent eyes and neither can express itself.
mircea_popescu: trinque that's more like damage control than anything. you'd be better off not ending up in that point eh.
mircea_popescu: you reading up on the wolbachia thing ? it's not, ftr, the genesis of gender. it's just the first revolutionizing thereof.
mircea_popescu: and unrelatedly, ancient romanian joke : what are the similarities between dog and engineer ?
mircea_popescu: trinque you gotta understand, up to a certain point i do enjoy executive priviledges that make it easier for me, but nevertheless up to a different point you don't express yourself too well.
mircea_popescu: as you perhaps imagine, mp will readily turn the ratchet the other way, "Hey phf, i thought lisp worked ?" etc.
mircea_popescu is in awe of the mighty power of the republic, that enchanted space where meaningful comparisons can actually occur, and inform.
mircea_popescu: who else was having a log ? i recall a 3rd, was it ben_vulpes ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform lulzy bit being that Framedragger didn't even implement a search yet, though he has the psql right there :D
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i expect 1.4mn lines is actually an understatement re trilema logs, afaik he imported the history, should be 2x that.
mircea_popescu: must be. i wanna look into this one because it is impressive.
mircea_popescu: "21 matches in 678 log files with 138047 lines (1.5 seconds)." << from lobbes 's logotron. "10 entries in 0.482s" from phf 's logotron. i imagine this log is about 10x as long, how the fuck do you do it phf!
mircea_popescu: anyway, my bad, was bitcoin "related" stuff. it's shocking identical to 5 years ago except new faces and new names.
mircea_popescu ended up reading twitter matter, minutes later was "wtf am i reading, holy shit what is this."
mircea_popescu: i can scarcely believe how utterly fucktarded usg platforms are. it's eerie.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform soviets similarily denied afghani whatever, then permitted again. this suggests - empire doesn't honestly gas.
mircea_popescu: i had one i couldn't touch. hence keep ssds in fanned thing
mircea_popescu: a yea good point : folks plox fan your ssds when doing mass blockeat experiments etc.
mircea_popescu: i dunno how active it is or anything ; but we were pretty rich if memory serves.
mircea_popescu: it's how you do military salute if you're playing excel-in-space
