mircea_popescu: asciilifeform are you gonna vpatch the new dict on the old btw ? or what's next step here ?
mircea_popescu: so is your original, has word, definition, english equiv.
shinohai: Would be greatly appreciated to have plaintext item, asciilifeform .... I also prefer to simply grep word I am looking for whilst studying.
mircea_popescu: the correct transform imo would be from your (word/dubious expl/engl equiv) into (word/proposed english equiv/ipa notation/proper dex expl). this can be done mechanically on the basis of the two items.
mircea_popescu: look at it, it's always separated in the definition, at beginning
mircea_popescu: you could ALSO add the etymology notation as separate field, but can also leave it as is (part of the expl)
mircea_popescu: now, i would much appreciate if you took the current bs and ipa'd it properly (it's not THAT hard, ro ipa set is narrow and unambiguous)

mircea_popescu: lol randomly perusing we find "a da muie la statuie" (to fuck statue face), ie superlative dissidence.
mircea_popescu: this would be (as per tradition / discussion yest etc) actually a very powerful item ~for the student of english~, too. even if he only spake english.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, for some reason i thought dex included a pronounciation guide, but it seems mostly absent/unreliable.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform can even put them as aside binary blob, as discussed re fg/bootturds etc. "you wanrt to see the orcograms, find item #x in list"
mircea_popescu: anyway, to leave the pressure off : im still willing to go through it by line and improve as time permits, but there's no rush, so let's first make an optimal basis and see.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform as an aside : the "limba romana este singura limba care se scrie cum se citeste" ro linguistics dogmatics promises there's a workable ro-ipaize-tron somewhere. at least in the sense of "we could get 99% success rate". it IS a point of fact that ~any romanian speaker can correctly notate new words on the basis of sound, and this is PRECISELY the sort of artificial intelligence that's amenable to numeric methods.
mircea_popescu: in the sense that the resulting code would be in itself an interesting knowledge pile.
mircea_popescu: i suspect it is. no proof until code written of course.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform let's try this. make up a girl's name and i'll tell you how it sounds in romanian. then diana_coman spyked alex_c whosoever else can confirm or infirm.
mircea_popescu: (point being -- UNKNOWN romanian words stll have a strict phonetic / alphabetic correspondence in romanian. somehow. how ?)
mircea_popescu: but incidentally -- same treatment could be applied to ru-eng item, resulting in a megabridge here.
mircea_popescu: (is hysterical bit re this in classical ro comedy film, "monsieur se scrie, monsieur se citeste, ci tat umbli cu cioara vapsita!")
mircea_popescu: anywauy, i didn't mean "same treatment" in the sense of ipaization, i meant same treatment in the sense of translaty/explainy flatfile.
mircea_popescu: got a gateway to latin and a gateway to the east, and the idiotic lingua franca of stupid people as the archimede screw for it all.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform always a problem of translaty dict, as discussed. no way out of this, translaty dict is perl.
mircea_popescu: but if explainy part provided, some perl on the side is no longer brain rotting.
mircea_popescu: ("but mp, wtf is explainy, not an english word" "fuck you.")
mircea_popescu: im not saying explainatory, esp because wtf is translatatory then.
mircea_popescu: much like they managed to turn banking system from system for achieving wealth to system for avoiding wealth.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so are we deciding that is to be the base item and not gonna dump new dex into it ?
mircea_popescu: it's blocking in my head cuz im not gonna edit items by hand if they're gonna be updated by machine.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it can't do the right thing if i changed the explanation.
mircea_popescu: whole idea now is "can safely replace explanation from 1 with item from 2". if we break this re 1 wtf do we do, you write AI to discern between dex-powered and mp-powered explanations of words ?

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-20#1741203 <<< I would like to help ( I believe it was mod6 that mentioned it previously) set up some sort of mirror for just this purpose, because yes outside things will become unreliable sooner rather than later.
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2017-11-20 13:59 spyked: for the record, the steps described in
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-20#1741187 work *today*. it will be increasingly harder to get a sane system once glib stops compiling with gcc 4.9, etc. an archaelogical approach would be to freeze the current state of the gentoo mirrors and build own stage1, stage2 etc. from scratch with known-working libc versions etc.
shinohai: Current setup will build Eulora and trb like a dream, with nary a barf like I experienced in my old deb days
shinohai: Yeah I switched 100% gentoo ~1 year ago, props to trinque for his patience with me.
shinohai: For me it was rather like building a model airplane, box of parts "Here, build this". Sometimes I wanted to just dump it all in the trash and just get high on the glue but persistence pays off I suppose.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-18 22:19 ben_vulpes: hey trinque do you still have that script for "infectious gentoo"? i might be able to get my old closet iron with 4.9 to build a respectable userland
spyked: shinohai, pretty good. gentoo diddling. I'm trying to get a new box up, learn v, compile trb, add an ada in, learn lisp internals ... (the list continues)
a111: Logged on 2017-11-20 14:06 mircea_popescu: glib is slated to stop compiling ?
trinque: eh why not use musl anyway
spyked: trinque, ftr, I tried getting a uclibc system up, but it seems to lack e.g. localization support, which didn't get me very far. will have to give this another shot on the next box I get up (which might not even be an x86 box; or else, it will be a pcengines).
☟︎ spyked: speaking of which:
http://archive.is/Vs1UC <-- "By 2020 [Intel] are said to be "removing legacy BIOS support from client and data center platforms." Based on the timing, it's then looking like for Intel Tiger Lake or Sapphire Rapids where they may cut off the legacy BIOS support." good riddance, eh?
☟︎ spyked: fancier name for Unicode et alia
shinohai: I think if one needs support for languages, etc?
mircea_popescu: so not having such support saves you the trouble of having to cut it out later ?
spyked: remaining problem is that it also needs to be cut out of software that relies on it. or eliminating such software altogether (this includes a large part of GUI software stack; did eulora go through the "needs locale" experience?).

mircea_popescu: spyked what software do you use that relies on unicode and why do you.
mircea_popescu: anyway, eulora client is specifically left as exercise to eulora player. can make it do anything you wish.

spyked: mircea_popescu, problem isn't whether unicode is needed. but that "modern" software insists on shoving "support" down one's throat. it can be removed, of course (either support or software altogether), only I suspect the pile of unicode-enhanced crap yet hides some useful items.

spyked: "#selection-21.75-21.93" doesn't exist." (which leads me to believe that no JavaScript code is being run, although JavaScript *is* enabled at run-time!); links (probably mircea_popescu's browser) throws out some explicit javascript errors (doesn't parse === token), but this because it has it's own parser/interpreter.

mircea_popescu: it's a harem not a fucking advertisment. you can keep whatever you like.
mircea_popescu: ugly-and-not-noether no. but, hard to argue against the company of smart chicks.
mircea_popescu: also, the testosterone issue is visible in much older women. when she was 16, noether was as much helped by the 16 yo's boon as any other girl.
mircea_popescu: all this aside, i'm very performance driven. i care much more about what she does than what she looks like. which is why djb, sexy as she might be, has nevertheless 0 hot factor for me. ill behaved / stupid hotties are not hot to any degree i can personally measure.
mircea_popescu: others' mileage may vary, of course. but as far as i'm concerned...
mircea_popescu: there's no "ill make myself beautiful and then win" solipsistic approach. make yourself really obedient and you'll win.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu> the writing is on the wall : whenever women become dominant in [what used to be] a profession, that profession ends. <- more like whenever *everyone* makes it into something, it's a clear bet that it's not anymore the something it used to be
diana_coman: I guess you can take "women become dominant" as visible threshold of "everyone makes it" but to my eyes that's already late as it were; profession ended long time before that
mircea_popescu: it's forcing a point, cooking for instance didn't end with women becoming dominant sometime cca 35k years ago
mircea_popescu: but for many modern and postmodern activities it's a great heuristic.
diana_coman: dunno the facts there, but afaik professional cooks are still majority men, aren't they
diana_coman: but yes, that's my point: it's nothing to do with women per se being there; all to do with lowering the bar
shinohai: lowering bar so black girls can code?
diana_coman: well, it ends up hitting everyone at that, doesn't it?
diana_coman: oh, it helps to pretend for a bit longer and then fall from the top of a higher cliff; is that the help?
mircea_popescu: that's the sadness of evo biology : if you have a sexuate species (as the predicate) then you will have sexual dismorfism. because if you don't, why bother with sexuation. if you have sexual dismorfism, you will have a more diverse and a less diverse gender. because that's what dismorfism IS. if you conventionally name the more diverse gender male (as you do) and the less diverse gender female (as you do), then NECESSARILY as
mircea_popescu: you lower the bar for any objective performance you will get more women qualified ; and conversely the only way to increase female prevalence in any activity is to lower the performative bar.
diana_coman: I can't say I really looked into this; I do remember your trilema article on this idea re searching in the male gender
diana_coman: to start with I'm not sure there is such total separation between genders as in searches in male gender means advances do not translate further down the line in moving up the average on female gender too , for instance
diana_coman: and then there are anyway tradeoffs at all points; e.g. male stronger, yes; but generally less agile
diana_coman: diversity means it covers a wider range; doesn't necessarily mean average is higher
mircea_popescu: possibly move the average, but it's still not going to have an impact. women alive today compete with people alive today not with the previous generations
mircea_popescu: and average doesn't have to be higheer, at all. if five men are measured by your criteria as 12, 11, 10, 9, 8 and five women are measured 10.5, 10.4, 10.3, 10.2 and 10.1, the female average is still way over the male average and yet the first two Xs will be men.
mircea_popescu: not to mention the top-3 men average will beat the shit out of the top-5 or top-3 women average, which is the problem in academia.
mircea_popescu: exclusion is much more effectual tool in male than female petri dish, which is why men fight and women gossip.
trinque: male filtering being lossy, females costing more to lose biologically
mircea_popescu: it's all there is ; then people wrangle themselves into a tizzy trying to "fix" the unfixable.
