mircea_popescu: asciilifeform look into termcap macro thingee

mircea_popescu: iirc it does vt100 nartively, believe it or not.

mircea_popescu: i suspect a large part of why i like it is that i never run into this kinda problem. i had to futz about ansi terminal standards literally never.

mircea_popescu: people got really excited about the whole tv txt mode or w/e that was called

mircea_popescu: "i know, minitel worked so well, let's emulate it!"

mircea_popescu: impressive

mircea_popescu: wait, is this gentoo or cuntoo ?

mircea_popescu: i thought that was the substance of teh announcement :p

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't get it, what about it ? ☟︎

mircea_popescu: jesus that was the era of loud hdds

mircea_popescu: :)

mircea_popescu: next we're going to dig up a 1990 era soviet stolen sub to run it on their handcranks also.

mircea_popescu: in other news, i look at the time, and it's 13:37.

mircea_popescu: not much of a priority.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-03#1884048 << oh i see. i just saw a "omfg my traffux" dork "blogger" typical piece, the numbers seemed low for a month of amateur bloggership so had to take a 2nd look, turned out they're FOR THE YEAR, what can yo9u do. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-03#1884059 << yes, but he gotta invent problems for himself. which he does at an amazing rate, ~comparable to his capacity for solving problems. after all, stability is self-enforcing. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i believe, but maybe deep link to the something useful.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-03#1884068 << i don';t expect any of the ten thousand fly eyes has a dec, ever had a dec, or can come up with any actual use for a dec. or for that matter care to know whether their code doesn't work at all. different paradigm!!! ☝︎

mircea_popescu: not bad.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-03#1884081 << any reason you believe this ? (i have nfi, there's some obligation to participate in the sense of weighing in on decisions for the lordship, but afaikl dude never was/wanted to be, and for the citizenry at large there's no such thing is there ?) ☝︎

mircea_popescu: keks nice final note.

mircea_popescu: anyway, many people took yearish hiatuses, mats recently emerged after a slumber for eg.

mircea_popescu: !!up stratum

mircea_popescu: anyone knows who this is then ?

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-03#1884083 << bwahahaha. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: as she points out, http://logs.minigame.biz/2019-01-03.log.html#t14:53:01

mircea_popescu: Mocky but the important part is "resilient design" so to speak : it should keep polling after doing what it thought it did. same exact thing as with the "put stuff in inv" : put all you find of the type you're putting, if you miss some on one cycle, catch up on next. sorta thing.

mircea_popescu: there's a good principle in there we're digging out.

mircea_popescu: specifically : the oldest illustration of "robotics" in the charlie chaplin deeply misguided http://btcbase.org/log/2015-03-06#1043874 approach (and yes, i am very unimpressed by charlie chaplin as the "intellectual great" pantsuit make him out to be, specifically because this sort of deliberate stupidity to cater to pantsuit nonsense dun count as wisdom) is an amelia bedelia-esque "person sent to broom will broom the room, r ☝︎

mircea_popescu: obot sent to broom will broom individual items" sorta bs.

mircea_popescu: there's no serious reason to write our poor people in the way THEIR poor people would like our poor people to work [for the transparent reason that thusly, our poor people won't outcompete and drown out their poor people].

mircea_popescu: (and yes, republican bot is ==== imperial "we the people", no question about it.)

mircea_popescu: from the gimme a second ima clean up this bimboconvo.

mircea_popescu: stratum and who might you be then ?

mircea_popescu: cool.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform http://trilema.com/2019/what-is-meant-by-ai/ 'ere you go.

mircea_popescu: stratum we are only interested in destroying the capacity of posturing of the "state actor" known asw the usg.

mircea_popescu: random schmuckette futzing with her phone "losing" her nudes is of no consequence, she is a party favour anyway, whether she knows this or not.

mircea_popescu: and "most irc people" is an undefined symbol. there's the lordship and absolutely nothing else. there's no "irc people".

mircea_popescu: poor danielpbarron, i'm starting to understand his problem : specifically because http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-18#1881534 ie much lower intellectual bar, it is actually WAY THE FUCK EASIER to sell his church than the republic, to the sort of random interneteer. memory vs thought, hands down easier to memorize than structure the world. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-03#1884196 << the point isn't the "monetary" cost, they have 0 money anyway. the point is the intellectual cost -- they're monkeys, they barely got enough brainpower to cluck at the shiny, what computer, what computers. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: Mocky we're in the same time distortion field. i recall people dead for centuries as if we just interrupted a coffee conversation days ago ; i forgot idiots i met yesterday as if milennia had passed.

mircea_popescu: time exists in the mind.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-03#1884103 << i think the logs reflect my thinking similarily at first ; but kinda dropped it also. ☝︎☟︎

mircea_popescu: possibru.

mircea_popescu: memory management in c is one of the weirdest things. this is not directly obvious first off, but if you stop to think about what you're saying ~actually means~ it's a guaranteed starseeing moment.

mircea_popescu: i suppose the first step in the wonderful world of language is the kid's "what incantations do" rather than "what does this mean". takes a considerable time exposed to "she is your genie, ask what you will, she'll produce it" sorta situation for the former to mutate into the latter, "what the fuck am i asking these genies to do here!"
