ben_vulpes: is associated in my head with a post i recall
as "river of sluts", which i'm sure has an actual title.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: well, "short drive". 800 or so miles, which to me still counts
as "one day drive".
as opposed to say 2.2k miles portland-austin.

as an aside, I discovered the rationale behind the need for CS threading library, and boost for that matter. i.e. that incoherent c++ memory model prevented reliable semantics for multi-threaded access beore c++11, so they rolled their own and in the process had to also roll compatible data structures
mircea_popescu: because this is what the shit even exists FOR ; getting everyone to be a moron, only some with a positive and some with a negative inca outline is perfectly fine "getting everyone to be a moron" outcome,
as far
as inca's concerned.

as much concrete and steel
as possible for 48 hours—this is critical" << this is terrible advice lol. metal cover for shelter more dangerous than the explosion itself. Bremsstrahlung ftw.

BingoBoingo: Mocky: But yes lots of low power two wheel motor vehicles here, but they tend to go just
as fast
as everyone else. Most people with cars drive Uber to offset the cost, most with motocicletas do food deliveries

as you might've guessed, and it's used to sell items in qatar,
as you might've also guessed. the point being that the poor rich arabs are trying to salvage whatever's left of the tsar's pile of salvaged material, today.

as far
as uneducated, "hard" ustardian kids were concerned, the dilemma stood between stories of killing injuns and "building a civilisation out of a wilderness" by then two generations expired, or else ~kids just like them actually doing it~, driving motorcycles through the endless dusts of the middle earth and erecting oil pumping metropolises across the siberia.
mircea_popescu: so no, the "wait for parents to die", traditional euro-french strategy of the "age of enlightenment"
as it were, nevertheless long in the tooth.
Mocky: in the 90's all of the 'how to operate' tank training was in tanks and ~all the 'how to fight
as effective tank platoon' was in shitty simulator. this for both army and marines. Makes me wonder about 'modern' pilot training
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> i picture her
as gigantic guinea pig.. << What puzzles me is that the hairless cultivars all seem to be in the pet trade. Due to their size you gotta defuzz the skin instead of skinning them lest they get to dry during cooking.
BingoBoingo: Anyways the armaments of the ATM refill crew are pretty armed with the rifles and submachine guns (apparently the ATM crews are organized
as fireteams with specialists?)
mircea_popescu: (ah, note also the greedily opening butthole. this happens, in girls that regularily take it up the ass, because sexuality,
as a subjective psychological construct,
as well
as sexual function,
as a matter of physiology, are both TRAINED BEHAVIOURS, and absolutely nothing else ; certainly not some kind of "path to truth" or "deeply genuine and unfalsifiable expression of the self" or any of that 1900s "reformist" protestant ov
trinque: mod6: were the previous ones incorrect
as well?
mod6: I'm gonna invoice
as soon
as I have confirmation. I apologize. I just wanna make sure it's right before I do; measure twice, cut once.
mircea_popescu: just like average hottie doesn't go "but tell me, have you noticed my tits" for 3rd date conversation -- sure
as fuck if you've made it three dates he did notice the tits, yes.
mod6: mircea_popescu: hey, sorry about that quote. I never did get to invoice you
as I was hoping to do that tonight.
a111: Logged on 2018-04-16 19:09 mircea_popescu: 3. darwin fish spent a decade, up until macarthur was ~50, in that church (after some other wrangling, mormons, whatever). then suddenly,
as he himself reached 30, there was a major "time for my own church" moment. except, of course, nobody gave HIM the bn-dollar moneymaker. any they even told him why : he's way the fuck too cool for it, or
as joe pesci put it, "that was the last fucking time...."
mircea_popescu: just like the whole fucking point of having danielpbarron
as EPT was so that he gets people in, for his own self fucking interest, rather than sit about. just how all the point of ALL these functions ever is : don't sit about going "oh, i have function x, see, this paper says so"
a111: Logged on 2018-05-15 15:05 mircea_popescu: but you will have hell on wheel in your hands trying to get more money
as a palliative solution to "i don't feel like building sales today".
mircea_popescu: and much like in the way of blogs, i want states of display ~linkable
as such~.
mircea_popescu: the problem is this : given a flatfile of datapoints, convert that into 3d representation, that can be rotated, zoomed, shaved ; that is already colored correctly (meaning,
as human would like it to be) and whose shaving and presentation can be scripted well (arbitrary and undefined well).
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i thought lips permitted one to produce rotate-able cubes
as a thing ? hm ? HM ?

as opposed to ai bullcrap) is both perfectly achievable, in many ways achieved, and the ~only reasonable use of the machine in the first place ; i nevertheless think the problem is catastrophically ill posed in the "you know, like bullzoder" sense. yes there was such an application for digital computers, it is called "the numeric method" and still not widely deployed notwithstand
mod6: lobbes: that's weird, I don't even have you in the notes
as being a shared customer
BingoBoingo: Brasil appears to have lots of mineral variety
as evidence by having a gems industry, but hard to tell how that translates from my chair.
mircea_popescu: they're not
as efficient
as the chinese. they're trying to fight the production war, but ...
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo that's ok, i got her pretty well overwhelmed / drowning in tasks
as a chronic condition.
BingoBoingo: Also ns1.qntra.net and ns2.qntra.net have records for bimbo.club now

diana_away: mircea_popescu: I figured out the motorway exit our taxi took that time when we got there faster than you - it's quite a bit after the Sheraton, it doesn't seem to be marked in any reasonable way; there is only this name carved in greenery on the side
as you go "villa real"; on the opposite side it's where it says country club santa ana

as other than parrots
mircea_popescu: and of course "inside eu doesn't count
as having left".
mircea_popescu: they actually don't. romanians like wolves. you can have an idiot mark or a whore mark, but no such thing
as "bad guy".

as a result of usg militant tardation. i can just drive into brazil. you -- can not. they "banned" turkish visitors,
as if anyone from turkey could be arsed to go to the us ; turkey reciprocated, meaning about 70% of classical antiquity is now off limits to what in english passes for "the civilised world".
a111: Logged on 2018-07-05 16:40 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform imo this is not even the wrong way ; will not only significantly cheapen our end, but ~all of the enemy hardware will ahve to be replaced, at capital costs far exceeding its current capacities (projected to diminish in the future
as they may be)

as too blatantly ridiculous: American right-wing radio and TV clown Glenn Beck believes that Sean Smith aka Vile Rat, the EVE Online diplomat who was killed earlier this month during the attack on the US embassy in Benghazi, was actually a CIA agent, relaying communications to his fellow undercover agents at Something Awful."

mod6: yeah, it's on the same network. im not
as worried about that, but i just thought that it might be bad to mix and match the portage files from what we have existing, to whatever the shared environment has on there.
mod6: curious
as to what apache2 version is suitable for just normal website or one that would include wp-mp
mod6: yeah, i want to move the website to one of the foundation boxes
as well.
ave1: Aha, I refactored the code to end
as soon
as possible, turning that back I get the same answer too.
Mocky: I'm not clear on how you can backtrack piles directly though,
as if they were from isolated branches, when possibly final 2 piles from mixed descent and not from isolated mixing
a111: Logged on 2018-08-24 17:49 asciilifeform: all you gotta do is to take { floor(sum(mass) / sum(qty)) - 1 , floor(sum(mass) / sum(qty)) }

lobbes: I've tried to design it to be 'modular' so that the operator can easily add their own custom commands, and to be 'vpatch friendly' in that folx can release 'whateverbot'
as a vpatch that just extends it (in fact, this is my plan for the auctionbot)
lobbes: times out here
as well
trinque: a quick google suggests the rate for distribution of profit is lower than the rate for regular income, which is what I'd have expected, so conceivably BingoBoingo could be compensated in part through his stake in the local corp
as profit
BingoBoingo: <mod6> So we might need to incorporate first. *might* << Or I can apply
as a unipersonal
a111: Logged on 2018-08-24 04:04 mircea_popescu: the ~other~ good approach is 1. calculate average quality
as a real ; 2. calculate the integer piles of consecutive qualities this reduces to (you'll never get an irrational value through 1, which in itself is a very itneresting lemma) ; 3. try all pile pairs in some (random ?) order for producing either of the two expected qualities.
