asciilifeform: not quite 'fits in head' machine, but 'fits in book'

ben_vulpes: phf: and then there would be only one logger, which is not in my book the best of worlds.

mircea_popescu: trinque no, it has its merits. of course if you're discussing X topic there will be a THE book, also, this isn't arguing against that.

asciilifeform: friend: 'i got you a book for your bday' -- chukcha: 'i already HAVE a book'

asciilifeform: but recall, i started by asking for 'the book' and for it to be as thin as reasonably possible (but not thinner..)

mircea_popescu: they need a new book.

ben_vulpes: i have no idea what goes on in these certificate program scams but i can't imagine not leaving if someone actually put a coloring book in front of me

I pointed out that I was publishing a book with O'Reilly, speaking at major tech conferences, and doing all of the things that you're supposed to do to have an "upward career trajectory", but they said it didn't matter and I needed to prove myself as an engineer.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-27#1619262 << "plastics" in current practice is a very different material from "plastics" in the 1970s soviet standards book understanding. it ain't no longer pvc, plexi & pp/pet. ☝︎

mod6: I already bought that Ada 95 lecture notes book and had it on my shelf. found it there lastnight. heh.

mod6: lol, so get this. i was thinking, "man i really should have gotten a Ada ref book..."

ben_vulpes: an otherwise gentle and lovely morning with coffee and breakfast in bed, followed by 20+ pounds of micro human determinedly sitting in my lap demanding a book be read him

asciilifeform: '- Where have you been, Dad? You can wait forever. You have to read the text through the polarizer glasses. Without them, all you’ll see is the ads! - What’s that for? - What do you mean, what’s that for? So nobody who hasn’t paid can read the book! Think, I buy a book, and someone who didn’t buy anything could read it over my shoulder…'

phf: i picked up https://www.amazon.com/Longitude-Genius-Greatest-Scientific-Problem/dp/080271529X that someone left on the train, it's a popsci history of longitude problem, which in turn pointed me to the gould book, which i found in a local collectors' bookstore

mircea_popescu: at which juncture, mp warmly recommends http://trilema.com/2016/black-book/

a111: Logged on 2017-01-07 23:33 gabriel_laddel_p: also, if you could locate the precise knuth book where he discusses balanced ternery, and then find me a warez copy, that would be useful

mod6: Looks ike a decent meat book.

diana_coman recollects of all a sudden a pocket-book from childhood: "Taiem porcul. Cum il preparam?"

mircea_popescu: i think you book it as a loss, but it is a gain.

mircea_popescu: this counts above fucking the woman, in my book.

snowbound33: no, sorry, I didn't write that article about the book. That was a guest post

mircea_popescu: anyway, there's a whole pile of stuff. but no, i didn't think you wrote the book you reviewed.

ben_vulpes: danielpbarron: i'm a bit surprised a segwit stoolie ranks as positive in your book

mircea_popescu: re the soros book : it's not terrible, there's a certain political bent to it but i expect you're immune. like how human doesn't catch most rat viral strains.

asciilifeform somehow happened upon http://www.romanianwriters.ro/book.php?id=14

phf: typically people recommend http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/ and it's a sort of "rails for beginners" kind of book, but i think best cl option is http://www.norvig.com/paip.html. norvig's paradigms of artificial intelligence programming. it's not so much about "ai", but about some very useful symbolic algorithms, written in ~very elegant~ lisp code

ben_vulpes: anything other than "yeah i'll get right on it" is a "no" in my book

gabriel_laddel_p: netmonk: and a copy of the book

gabriel_laddel_p: netmonk: I don't want all of them (well, I do, but nevermind that) - I want the specific book & page number where knuth discusses balanced ternery.

gabriel_laddel_p: also, if you could locate the precise knuth book where he discusses balanced ternery, and then find me a warez copy, that would be useful ☟︎

asciilifeform: in so far as can tell with naked eye, and with the sensors, it was built 'by the book'.

asciilifeform: folx will do ANYTHING!111 to avoid cracking a book.

asciilifeform: davout: similar book i recently read -- claimed that 'gear retract on parking lot' accidents are still a regular thing

ben_vulpes: amusingly, .is actually wrote the book on rocketry-resistant fleets. turns out -- many small boats. hard to do that with the holy tent.

asciilifeform: the 'riddle' unlocks very easily, scroll to the end of https://www2.adacore.com/gap-static/GNAT_Book/html/rts/g-socthi__ads.htm .

asciilifeform: if mircea_popescu signs 'τῶν γὰρ φύσει συνεστώτων τὰ μέν ἐστι ...', he does not also sign his copy of aristotle, and after that, the publisher's original manuscript, and with it, the medieval copy, and with that, the arab copy, and with that, .... plus the book from which he learned greek, and its manuscript...

mod6: <+mircea_popescu> mod6 remember that time someone put a mega sdice order in and flooded the book ? << Oh yeah, Sir. I'm still doing a O_O from that.

Framedragger: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-17#1585207 << hehe pretty nice, like a monk scribing down book patch. btw danielpbarron, your Pi constant has a typo: you have 3.1415926545, should be 3.1415926535 (don't ask, i like memorizing useless stuff) ☝︎

pete_dushenski: lol. being chinese is so fucking opposite of being a jew i don't even know where to start. number 1 selling book in nigeria might as well be "how to raise child like a norwegian"

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform look, saying "the v is not allowing x char sequence i wanna use" is one thing. saying "o woes i have this here book of 5mn chars and i want it to be readable in 3 minutes" is another thing.

mircea_popescu: i personally prefer the "here's the book pile, go read whatever ; do something"

phf: asciilifeform: i think the ant one is the algo book, where's eberhart is an overview

asciilifeform: the old piloting book, interestingly, goes into subj

asciilifeform: 'As more people with less commitment to quality and much less attention to detail got involved in writing it, its educational value diminished, too. It is like going to a library full of books that took 50 man-years to produce each, inventing a way to cut down the costs to a few man-months per book by copying and randomly improving on other books, and then wondering why nobody thinks your library full of these cheaper books is an in ☟︎☟︎☟︎

adlai: Joshua-I: i believe the only person who regularly talks about "moral [inventory]" uses the Big Book

trinque: I'll have the page updates being fired via db trigger. I just don't do this "lets regenerate every page of this book every time the page is read" anymore.

a111: Logged on 2016-11-20 22:39 mircea_popescu: speaking of this, and re http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-18#1569760 : a) it was actually exactly the same usg pays via min wage (out of private pockets, but w/e, usg is the REAL government, not the republic hurr durr) and b) it made people do sensible things such as making pgp keys. a certain ammount of this "wash yourself" "read a book" basic training will have to be done forcibly, because ontogenesis may follow philogenesis,

mircea_popescu: well... unless you have a camera that works, i have no idea. the pigeons ~themselves~ aren't book-ready.

mircea_popescu: but the important point here i guess is that mpex is a service ; not a publisher. you're essentially asking "how do i include some pigeons in my book"

gabriel_laddel: trinque: then inform them off the "Without explaining the images, they had shown the book to their patients and asked them to pick a favorite. Every single one of them chose their drug of dependence, with 100 percent accuracy. Even the secretary who only ever drank coffee chose caffeine."

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the point you elude here is that education is not so much about gaining things as it is about losing them. it's like washing not like book implants.

mircea_popescu: look at it from the historical perspective : music was invented in babylon to quell the wail ; because the males there had the wisdom to kill the boys - for "no reason" but did it. then the jews came along and put it in their book to not do sacrifice children - and so the dumb women flocked to them, and they birefly prevailed. only to go to shit in a handbasket soon thereafter, so much so the fucking short-legged short-dicked

mircea_popescu: guessing "what the word could mean in context" doesn't mean you read the fucking book ; and "things making sense" to you doesn't mean they exist, or they make sense.

BingoBoingo: hanbot: ty. "total lack of fear" is part of inner peace that comes from the Big Book. page 83 paragraph beginning at the bottom of the page features a description

mircea_popescu: there is a thin sliver of stuff your training is useful for ; but most accidents, including with planes, including with controlled flight into terrain, come from not having read the book.

asciilifeform: ~while~ reading book also, yes.

mircea_popescu: would you want someone working on trb on the basis of having read the book or on the basis of having watched "the videos" ?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: trainers don't simply hand 'patient' a book..

thestringpuller: well silk road idiots didn't follow the book of jeezy

asciilifeform: but it is not worthless, school book does not discuss how to refine postindustrial rubbish from shops, utilize junkyard metal for the synthesis pots, etc.

asciilifeform: phf: there is enough deadtree-era 'underground' pseudoscientific literature on 'dope cooking' to fill book case. most of it of dubious quality, approaching 'anarchist's cookbook', rather than what normal people think of as chemistry

asciilifeform: t: they’re not. I feel like someone robbed me of my birthright, as should anyone else who speaks english but never read the Book of Exeter. I’d tell you to go ask the nuns how they did that, but your lot bought them vibrators and taught them to be lesbians, so there aren’t any left to talk to.'

asciilifeform: the last potus who tried to fire plum book folk got kennedied.

ben_vulpes: but: no way to install apps, no 'apps', even, max of 1000 text messages and some 200 address book entries.

mircea_popescu: AforA what book is that ?

AforA: read about the book...romanian? talk about synchronicity, I was just reading this guys work, and it seemed relevant to the point about domain invalidation from V: http://fs.gallup.unm.edu/florentinsmarandache.htm. hm. and as to answer your question mircea: the non-log part being absorbing the website.

mircea_popescu: in other early christian obscura : the 6th bishop of antioch (teofil, dead by 200) wrote a book "To Autolickus".

phf: hmm, half the book is about evasi0n and pangu though. i guess the overall exploitation techniques remain the same across devices

adlai digs out his dead tree math book and goes back to reconstructing the mind of god

shinohai: Been so long since I read that book

mircea_popescu: (speaking of which, "the rise and fall of the great powers" by kennedy is not altogether a bad book. esp. as "nobody could have predicted" in 1987)
