mircea_popescu: "for as long as you weren't born yesterday, not being born yesterday worx".
mircea_popescu: how about "i have disks from before 2016 because I WAS NOT BORN YESTERDAY"
mircea_popescu: there's no future for english speaking children. we knew this already.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform why tge fuck would i DOWNLOAD it! wtf am i, new ? this is like going "go google something and see if you can find something besides wikipedia". dude... srsly, i'm googling things now ? let me try this, oh, let's google "mathematics" see what happens, I NEVER THOUGHT OF THIS BEFORE
mircea_popescu: all the bad hbo productions cranking up to 11 a theoretical future in which everything is "mobile" and "intelligent" by default ain't gonna make the fad not be a fad.
mircea_popescu: yeah, really. mozilla hanging on to dear life, mostly through its actual workspace having been cannibalized by google at great expense, because holy shit people are going to give up "web" altogether and nobody cares about the tablets in the long run.
mircea_popescu: situation is fucking dire and the winter is coming, in the sense of it being late november, there's frosts at night.
mircea_popescu: o mention ancient strongholds of usgism such as kock-gpg, tor or (again) openssl are being butchered left and right. the attempted anti-bitcoins failed to catch on.
mircea_popescu: aqnyway, the "hive mind" is fucking comedic already. FIVE YEARS with the subverted python, got them nowhere. close to five years pushing rust, nothing to show for it. systemd is still mostly a joke, and the hatred is growing exponentially while the pustule is growing logarithmic at that. meanwhile the republic cracked open the heartbleed in quite the painful fashion, no matter how much effort went into "rehappening" it. not t
☟︎ mircea_popescu: hey, it's not for me either, so the sentiment is mutual.
mircea_popescu: ahahaha steve klabnik. roflmao where the fuck do they dredge up all the amir taakis
mircea_popescu: ok so you pruned the theoretical tree for only things that touch same file. ok, makes sense in my head now
mircea_popescu: well yes but this isn't necessarily a criterion is it ?
mircea_popescu: and i thought win-32 is actually a codependency for ver_now_5_4 alongside thermonyukyoolar.
mircea_popescu: either it depends on the whole tree up to it, ie genesis, asciilifeform.1, rm_rf, asciilifeform.2, asciilifeform.4, dnsseed_snip, zap_hardcoded
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, me reads " Eric, a year ago I came to similar conclusions. Watching the chaos on the mailing lists and IRC channel,", proceeds to join #rust, is shocked by the sound of utter silence. maybe the guy meant join/part spam, who knows. nice going anyway.
mircea_popescu: a patch can only apply if ALL of its antecedents are present ; not if ANY of its antecedents are present
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: if that's removed from the flow, how could it still press
mircea_popescu: well its antecedent is clearly "asciilifeform_zap_showmyip_crud.vpatch"
mircea_popescu: and if that's not pressed (as you removed its seal), then this shouldn't either.
mircea_popescu: theoretically the patch you indicate only depends on zap_showmyip
mircea_popescu: mod6 is your presser looking for "one" vs "all" antecedents ?
mircea_popescu: on trying to check out phf 's nice graph i discover btcbase.org/patches redirects, to btcbase.org/patches/nil
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i figure if he sticks to it people will slowly migrate their schedules.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i think your reading there maps more to feeling than to history.
mircea_popescu: why did you get the idea ru peasant spent time "indoors" ?
mircea_popescu: i seem to recall early modern ru having one of the lowest capita per area of all the world.
mircea_popescu: such bizarro notions. really, because dork can't think it then follows that mp can't be right and nature will go out of its way to accomodate ?
mircea_popescu: because why, the only pick-up line he knows comes from dunne ?
mircea_popescu: "evil ai" or "genetically modified" or you know, something.
mircea_popescu: it's funny how each little churchlet of the "reason&science" persuasion has a very carefully not named devil or two.\
mircea_popescu: the cnn-made alt-"putin" that the us invaded itself by ?
mircea_popescu: there is ~no source of energy available in any sense outside of that.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform random nonsense aside, i also don't believe fusion is +ev in a practical sense. obviously if you can be arsed to gather together enough hydrogen you get your own star for free. but that's about it.
mircea_popescu: usg came up with idea of hiding the tax burden under spurious headings, dorks imported it somehow. then ten years later "obamacare is not a tax". sa mori tu ?
mircea_popescu: what's with all the idiots counting "regulatory cost" as a thing in the first place ?
mircea_popescu: at issue isn't whether they're systematic or systemic ; but whether they're projective.
mircea_popescu: we might mean different things by organised. i don't mean what is meant by "systematizing" in eg "systematizing delusion"
mircea_popescu: i don't care about stupidity per se ; organised stupidity of any kind however is a different matter.
mircea_popescu: and fwiw my reading of orlov is very much in this vein, which is how he keeps evaluating to below 0 in my hands. perhaps counterintuitively for more neutral readers.
mircea_popescu: that right there is the whole shebang in one reference-ladden sentence.
mircea_popescu: there's intelligentsia and intelliglantsia. both equally bankrupt pseudointellectual endeavours, although on superficial examination "opposite". therefore, lettuce teach the controversy!
mircea_popescu: same resources, same offices even in places. same people, mostly.
mircea_popescu: afaik it spawned actually straight out of the whole "hide caches of $stuff in yurp" programme.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes ; moreover i'm talking about a very specific "intellectual" thing. not in any sense intended for mass consumption. intended for perenity.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i find it quite amusing that esr tried to do ~exactly what i just did, except with much more rudimentary tools and with much less interesting results. idiots living among idiots ALSO has a cost eh.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's impossible to hide the albright from any of this. but then again they don't specifically aim to hide it from us, secure in the knowledge that the orcs it's addresses to entirely lack the receptors in the first place. which is true.
mircea_popescu: well, it's complicated. and obviously nonsensical on the face of it, which is why it's being approached very gingerly. and also why the poster child of the whole movement, its sam altman if you will, is this ex physicist turned "philosopher".
mircea_popescu: roughly speaking the gambit would be described as "knowledge is evil in that it bestows power, only through neutering the power element may it be rendered pure", something after this fashion.
mircea_popescu: not exactly ; there's a particular vein of competent orc being developed here.
