mircea_popescu tried to watch "her", which supposedly is a movie. it is not. it's a fucking "movie 2.0". it's like these contemptible imbeciles agreed everything in cinema must have rounded corners now. the same inept muzak, a dude on a cello or a piano or a single instrument going SINGLENOTE SINGLENOTE SINGLENOTE SINGLENOTE SINGLENOTE. this is now music.
mircea_popescu: the same fucking BEIGE. everything gotta be beige, that's how you know it's the future. the same inept fucking "actors", the same literotica-level scripts, the same blergh.
mircea_popescu: a decade ago this shit used to be a bad joke at best. now it's all the maga that's left.
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.
mircea_popescu: not exactly ; there's a particular vein of competent orc being developed here.
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: 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: 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: 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: 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: afaik it spawned actually straight out of the whole "hide caches of $stuff in yurp" programme.
mircea_popescu: same resources, same offices even in places. same people, mostly.
mircea_popescu: there's intelligentsia and intelliglantsia. both equally bankrupt pseudointellectual endeavours, although on superficial examination "opposite". therefore, lettuce teach the controversy!
mircea_popescu: that right there is the whole shebang in one reference-ladden sentence.
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: i don't care about stupidity per se ; organised stupidity of any kind however is a different matter.
mircea_popescu: we might mean different things by organised. i don't mean what is meant by "systematizing" in eg "systematizing delusion"
mircea_popescu: at issue isn't whether they're systematic or systemic ; but whether they're projective.
mircea_popescu: what's with all the idiots counting "regulatory cost" as a thing in the first place ?
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: 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: there is ~no source of energy available in any sense outside of that.
mircea_popescu: the cnn-made alt-"putin" that the us invaded itself by ?
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: "evil ai" or "genetically modified" or you know, something.
mircea_popescu: because why, the only pick-up line he knows comes from dunne ?
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: i seem to recall early modern ru having one of the lowest capita per area of all the world.
mircea_popescu: why did you get the idea ru peasant spent time "indoors" ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i think your reading there maps more to feeling than to history.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> "weds 14:00 to 16:00, phf's lisp class". << this would be pretty cool actually. i'd attend if I could get the timing right...
mircea_popescu: i figure if he sticks to it people will slowly migrate their schedules.
mod6: While implementing automated tests for the wot-variant changes for V (99994) last night, I ran into an issue.
mod6: I've created some new tests and all of which have been looking good. But then I noticed what seems like a problem on the last, new test, to implement. In fact, it was the last step of the last new test.
mod6: So basically, the deal is, that when using TRB, I have one user in my wot, say "mod6", and I drop out a vpatch from the flow, say "asciilifeform_dnsseed_snipsnip.vpatch" by moving it's seal to "asciilifeform_dnsseed_snipsnip.vpatch.mod6.sig.foobar", then I expected a few things to happen.
mod6: I expected "asciilifeform_dnsseed_snipsnip.vpatch""asciilifeform_zap_hardcoded_seeds.vpatch", and "asciilifeform_zap_showmyip_crud.vpatch" to be removed from the flow.
mod6: Now, my flow, as currently coded in V (99994) actually does exactly what I expected above. ^
mod6: However, when I try to press, I realize that this is actually incorrect, or I ~think~ it is incorrect.
mod6: You see, when I've tested this in a single edge graph system -- a simple test vpatch set, this problem doesn't occur. a->b->c->d->e, remove 'c', and you just have a->b -- my current implemntation does this fine.
mod6: Even though the flow is correct, it depends on changes that are no longer there for files such as init.cpp...
☟︎ mod6: So basically what I'm seeing is that, once I discover my proper decendants, I also need to reverse check the graph for ~existing~ antecedents to ensure that a proper press can happen.
mircea_popescu: on trying to check out phf 's nice graph i discover btcbase.org/patches redirects, to btcbase.org/patches/nil
☟︎ mod6: His graph doesn't show all of the edges, and as this correctly highlights, I believe to be less than perfect.
☟︎ mod6: Since this is a multi-edge edge case (for lack of a better way to put it), this happens.
mod6: There is an edge betwee"bitcoin-asciilifeform.4-goodbye-win32.vpatch" and "asciilifeform_dns_thermonyukyoolar_kleansing.vpatch" which causes my V to think that "asciilifeform_dns_thermonyukyoolar_kleansing.vpatch" still belongs in the flow.
mircea_popescu: mod6 is your presser looking for "one" vs "all" antecedents ?
mod6: And for that one edge, it does make sense, but since that vpatch changes more than one file, this causes a problem when the files being changed do not aligh.
mod6: So my code finds all the decendants, then topographically sorts them. Then press based on the flow.
mod6: So I'm thinking that I need to add an additional check to ensure that every vpatch has a corresponding, existing, antecedent in the current flow.
mircea_popescu: theoretically the patch you indicate only depends on zap_showmyip
mircea_popescu: and if that's not pressed (as you removed its seal), then this shouldn't either.
mod6: ah, since there are more than one graph edge, it must be clobbered as well, "asciilifeform_dns_thermonyukyoolar_kleansing.vpatch", I mean.
mod6: (and anything else that depends on init.cpp downstream from that as well)
mircea_popescu: well its antecedent is clearly "asciilifeform_zap_showmyip_crud.vpatch"
mircea_popescu: if that's removed from the flow, how could it still press
mod6: so technically, yeah, "asciilifeform_dns_thermonyukyoolar_kleansing.vpatch" has four antecedents.
mod6: and removal of one doesn't, in my current implementation, ensure it's removal, as there are three other antecedents for this.
mod6: so I propose that I need to ensure of its removal by reverse checking every decendants antecedents.
mircea_popescu: a patch can only apply if ALL of its antecedents are present ; not if ANY of its antecedents are present
☟︎☟︎ mod6: this makes sense in theory, and mechanically because otherwise, unable to press.
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.
mod6: Anyway, wanted to spend a few minutes elaborating on my latest battles; I'm making progress, but still need some time to get it straightend out.
mod6: Once I have that part correct, will update and continue wrapping up the automated tests. Then further testing will begin, etc.
mod6: bitcoin-asciilifeform.4-goodbye-win32.vpatch, asciilifeform_dnsseed_snipsnip.vpatchasciilifeform_zap_showmyip_crud.vpatchgenesis.vpatch
mod6: whoops, missed a space & comma above
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: and i thought win-32 is actually a codependency for ver_now_5_4 alongside thermonyukyoolar.
mod6: so those four, are vpatches that touch the same files that "asciilifeform_dns_thermonyukyoolar_kleansing.vpatch" touches.
mircea_popescu: well yes but this isn't necessarily a criterion is it ?
mod6: i don't know how the mechanical hash matching would work otherwise.
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: ahahaha steve klabnik. roflmao where the fuck do they dredge up all the amir taakis
mod6: mircea_popescu: thanks for talking me through it though. Even though for some out there, this might be painfully obvious stuff, but it's not, at least for me. So it's worth going over in detail.
mircea_popescu: hey, it's not for me either, so the sentiment is mutual.
mod6: I'll work on getting axiom into place in the code, will update further if I hit another issue or need further discussion/direction:
mod6: asciilifeform_dns_thermonyukyoolar_kleansing.vpatch
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> a patch can only apply if ALL of its antecedents are present ; not if ANY of its antecedents are present << this.

trinque: alpine linux is still pretty good
trinque: but there are only a few gems out there left
trinque: alpine is musltronic even.
trinque: nah, anyone wanting that level of control, straight to gentoo
trinque: aha, upstream tightens the web of interdependencies by the day
whaack: mircea when you got a sec could you give me a Eulora account?
trinque: I have still on my disk a semi-working portage on openbsd
trinque: but have a hard time justifying the effort to myself any more than other half-measures.
trinque: started reading the python source for portage, barfed.
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: there's no future for english speaking children. we knew this already.
whaack: i asked for one a long time ago but i never got the game working and didn't save the dpaste message unfortunately
mircea_popescu: how about "i have disks from before 2016 because I WAS NOT BORN YESTERDAY"
mircea_popescu: "for as long as you weren't born yesterday, not being born yesterday worx".
mircea_popescu: wtf would i install ? "oh i wonder what these new things called ides are, how about i install one and try it out"
mircea_popescu: what the fuck is there i may not know about and wish to have ? list ?
mircea_popescu: point is - either you're an adult or you aren't. if you're an adult you don't find out where your asshole goes from googling assholes. if you're not an adult there is no hope for you anyway, no matter what.
mircea_popescu: there's nothing that'll turn taaki into a human being.
mircea_popescu: so the point is essentially moot. yes, if anyone gave a shit "they'd form their whole worldview through watching cnn". the problem is that the people watching cnn aren't goingto ever form a worldview anyway, and the people who will ever have formed a worldview don't watch it.
mircea_popescu: so it's a bit of a pointless victory of the imaginary kind.
trinque: not an entirely accurate picture of it
trinque: it didn't take me longer than 5min to copy the openbsd emacs makefile and remove everything I didn't want
trinque: the ports makefile system is pretty clear
trinque: it does lack the "dbus is haram" across packages, which is certainly an omission.
trinque: so, socialist bureau of portage community is supposed to be there always?
trinque knows asciilifeform would like to nuke it all
trinque: point being it may not be unreasonable system tuning work to modify the build process of packages; what openbsd has is quite close to having portage feature parity
trinque: the thing lacking is people using the exact same "flavor" names (flavors being analogous to use flags)
trinque: and then one could rather trivially modify the thing to blacklist flavors
trinque: certainly in the case of both portage and bsd ports, "I got my patch past one community organizer idiot" is no standard of merit
trinque: aha, and though doomed to accrete fewer hairy workarounds, doomed still.
mircea_popescu: "autoloading" of proggies "from network" is basically javascript.
mircea_popescu: autofucking of girlies "from grindr" is a) trap and b) herpes.
mircea_popescu: so then it is entirely unclear what your position is after all.
mircea_popescu: beyond "i disagree with what mp just said because my tooth hurts and i agree with him"
mircea_popescu: but at the risk of repeating myself, here it is again : esr, fabled luminary of the "blabla programming style" failed to get his thing done in a week. mp, fabled terrorist, managed to get his thing done in a week.
mircea_popescu: and i'm not about to stand for any "it doesn't counts because".
mircea_popescu: so : if you're EVER GOING TO BE an adult, the idiocy outside doesn't matter. and if the idiocy outside matters, you weren't ever going to be an adult anyway. entirely disjunct sets
mircea_popescu: and yes sucks for anyone born in 1990s, but so it goes.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform tried to try out rust. he gets no bots, has to make his own irc server, there's no phf etc.
mircea_popescu: well imagine those schmucks, born in 1910, starved duyring puberty, while orphaned by influenza, then spent their adult years at war, by the time they were 40 they had a cot of their own and enough fleas to satisfy their dog best friend, because woman was old and ugly already when they met.
mircea_popescu: the fact that no one is surprised is an argument for what i was saying.
mircea_popescu: so, yet again : either you know computers, today, in which case you don't need the "open source" usgtards ; or else you don't know computers, today, in which case YOU NEVER WILL. period. no escape, no buts, no nothing. you NEVER WILL. and consequently it fucking does not matter one diddly what you do, be it github or reddit or writing lengthy missives to asciilifeform
mircea_popescu: this has not so much to do with them and a lot to do with satoshi being a derp.
mircea_popescu: every once in a while it'll happen that a retard has a good idea and fucks it up in the implementation. this is unavoidable, and some dirtying of hands will occur.
trinque: emacs is already a monstrous amalgamation itself, before dbus
trinque: they were just continuing the theme
mircea_popescu: yeah should be curious to see when did alf like dbus. rms ? pre ? post ?
mircea_popescu: in other holy shit wtf is wrong with people - mp decides to examine wtf are these dorks doing to his xmlrpc.php. so he writes in serialize($_POST), which is apparently how you're supposed to do this. but which also promptly fucks something up
mircea_popescu: this is utterly incomprehensible. so there's this bunch of bots that keep making empty post requests, identify as googlebot. here's a sample :
☟︎ mircea_popescu: (+
http://www.google.com/bot.html)" s:12:"QUERY_STRING" s:0:"" s:13:"191.101.6.178" s:14:"REQUEST_METHOD" s:4:"POST" s:11:"REQUEST_URI" s:11:"/xmlrpc.php" s:18:"REQUEST_TIME_FLOAT" d:1484362254.992538928985595703125 s:12:"REQUEST_TIME" i:1484362254 s:4:"argv" a:0:{}s:4:"argc" i:0 }
mircea_popescu: leaving aside the idiocy of ... seriously, you're going to specify BOTH request time and request time float to be passed around through each request forever ?!?! ... wtf is this ? empty posts to xmlrpc.php. why.
mircea_popescu: if anyone can explain this wonder to me i'd be indebted.
mircea_popescu: at first i thought they're trying to spam trilema, and doing it from central ip but inept enough to not realize that the custom error message trilema spits if you try this is NOT a success (ie, matching for failure, and failing to move on). ie, stupid.
mircea_popescu: but as the months wore on (no fucking kidding, half a year +, 2-3-5 a minute, every minute, no exception, i've seen by now 10`000s of ips doing THIS and this only) i started thinking maybe i'm the stupid one here ?
mircea_popescu: so i thought long and hard wtf it could be, and it finally occured to me maybe they're using the pingback checking trilema does to "drive traffic", ie, dorks "buy traffic", spammer asks list of wordpress installs to check if dork has pingback, dork thinks he's getting "uniques".
mircea_popescu: but no, you can't do this with an empty post, it'd have to include dataz.
mircea_popescu: oh unsurprisingly enough rust has a "code of conduct". this is getting to be signal-positive : if $item has "code of conduct", $item is comprised of idiots, imbeciles and their handlers.
mircea_popescu: "Your free speech is not our problem. We recognize that this policy is a restrictive political stance. That is the intent. If you want a room with different rules, go create one."

phf: a complete graph (with no trimming) ~could~ indicate missing antecedents, but only if you split vpatches by files first. so instead of having m files for n vpatches you have m*n vpatches, with one file per one vpatch. in that case a missing link will show a vpatch without antecedent
