mircea_popescu: diana_coman fixed indeed, ty.
phf: diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-24#1882924 << 26Nov-2Dec 54450, 3Dec-9Dec 24809, 10Dec-16Dec 31298 with breakdown http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/afho0/?raw=true i had word count code laying around not wired, it now sits in the stat bar at the top as the (running) word count for the day. http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-22#1882726 << added
a111: Logged on 2018-12-24 15:58 diana_coman: phf, would it be a big bother to get for me the number of words in the logs for the weeks 26Nov-2Dec, 3Dec-9Dec, 10Dec-16Dec 2018? It's more to satisfy my curiosity on whether the relative sizes match the variation in size of my summaries for those weeks or not.
a111: Logged on 2018-12-22 17:25 diana_coman: asciilifeform, phf I've signed and mirrored ch6 of ffa: http://ossasepia.com/reference-code-shelf/#selection-603.0-617.46
diana_coman: phf, thank you!
diana_coman: perhaps unsurprisingly, the relative lengths of logs are not quite enough to predict relative lengths of summaries, ofc; the 10-16 dec summary is a whopping 5.1k compared to 3.7k 26-2Dec despite logs being 31.3k vs 54.4k respectively; anyways, I'm rather relieved it turns out that the summary IS at least shorter than the logs!
diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-25#1882978 -> I'm in 2 minds on it: basically there is a lot to gain from doing it, the way I see it so that's a big pull; onth it can eat up a lot of time and it's not always the easiest of things either
a111: Logged on 2018-12-25 16:56 mircea_popescu: kinda addictive to write, too, aren't they.
diana_coman: at any rate, the fact that the summaries seem to elicit further discussion and clarification of the original topics is further benefit (I did not expect it / think of it at all initially)
diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-25#1882987 -> my tests show that you can rely on <strong> </strong> for it to show in bold (b, em seem to be eaten); in further infuriating things, <blockquote> works but ONLY if used on separate line (i.e. this is a <blockquote>bbw </blockquote> will do nothing but this is a \n <blockquote>biegw</blockquote ...works
a111: Logged on 2018-12-25 17:36 mircea_popescu: btw diana_coman can i rely on <b><em><blockquote> working in your comment section ?
diana_coman: this might be to some extent theme-related as well but I'm not too keen on sinking time digging into it really
asciilifeform: guten morgen, diana_coman phf
a111: Logged on 2018-12-18 11:56 phf: asciilifeform: i saw you posted a highres photo of macivory you found on the internet, but could you perhaps post a couple of nice photos of your current board, where one can see labels on chips and whatever text on the surface
a111: Logged on 2018-12-25 23:02 asciilifeform: i'ma share a pair of example inputs: http://www.nosuchlabs.com/pub/bolix/pic/ivory_bottom_a_super.jpg http://www.nosuchlabs.com/pub/bolix/pic/ivory_bottom_b_super.jpg (warning: 300MB! each!) .
asciilifeform: ( xray is waiting on the film tho )
asciilifeform: plan with the mega-photo, is that -- when i figure out how to stitch'em -- will make metre-sized poster for wall, to scribble on as i reverse the thing...
asciilifeform: ( nao, if we had a source of ~coherent~ xray, could then replicate that https://archive.is/Gb34O thing! 'if wishes were horses..' )
asciilifeform: flatbed scanner for pcb aint perfect, observe that what it gains in res vs digicam, it loses in depth of field
asciilifeform: prolly ideal photo would be from stitch of N 25megapixel shots with small aperture and machine-cranked slide platform. but i currently dunhave a machine-cranked slide.
asciilifeform: this is re the component-side, naturally. (flatbed is unbeatable for the flat side imho)
asciilifeform: phf: i've also bought a period (msdos-powered!) paltron, will attempt reading the original pals this wk

mircea_popescu: in other stray thoughts : isn't it a wonder the "orange man" and the "guy fawkes" memes aren't merging ?
mircea_popescu: i'd have expected a LOT more orange plasticrap masks.
asciilifeform: who was 'orange man' ?
mircea_popescu: donald trump
mircea_popescu: i suppose the bare truth of the matter is that much like bower bird building nest out of what plastic can be found, ustard also, will be fashionable ~out of pre-existing selection~, not otherwise.
mircea_popescu: can't merge because while intellectually meaningful, practically impossible, no mfg base.
asciilifeform: not only this, but worse, the pre-existing selection consists of hollywood (e.g. the guyfawkes meme is not made from the historic personage, but from film 'v for vendetta', where rather different item in turn recycled from older meme)
mircea_popescu: trump also exists from hollywood media for the "orange man" crowd.
mircea_popescu: entirely unrelated to historical anything, much like car advertisings unrelated to car, related to viewer.
asciilifeform: made from junkyardwars. but i dun recall him claiming continuity with historic-anyffin
mircea_popescu: (for the benefit of sluts nicole's age : a meme is not 'an image with text in thick font sprawled over'. a meme is a virus for the brain ; the ur-example of a meme [ie, ~SPEECH~] being discussed in http://trilema.com/2014/the-bicameral-world-in-one-room-the-city-dump-in-the-other-room-the-starred-restaurant-do-these-talk-to-each-other-read-on-to-find-out/ )
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform him who ?
mircea_popescu: um. trump is an actual physical person, an old guy, son of a magnate, bankrupt a coupla times, very entertaining town fool in the 70s, etc.
asciilifeform: rrright, but was speaking of trump the stage character, as played for ameritard consumption
asciilifeform: rather than the actor playing $role
mircea_popescu: this is a history, whether you know it or not, whether you rubbed shoulders with the chicago outfit back when they were inventing las vegas and the new york set and so on.
asciilifeform: naturally the man -- has a history
mircea_popescu: this historical character, who happened to win a presidential election IN SPITE of the wishes of the media machinery and the expectations of their vat-dwelling retards, was re-interpreted for their minor intellectual needs as "orange man" by the same mechanisms.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> in other stray thoughts : isn't it a wonder the "orange man" and the "guy fawkes" memes aren't merging ? << There was some overlap with people wearing gray bodysuits to play NPCs
BingoBoingo: Orange bodysuits when?
asciilifeform must admit nao that asciilifeform has not been following in realtime the tard squeals of recent yr of trumpreich, and so cannot comment on 'orange' etc
mircea_popescu: those morons, cuz it's really not worth calling the http://trilema.com/2016/please-stop-using-dns-already-and-other-considerations/#footnote_6_65060 set people, are ~also~ approximately the barney sandals crowd, and the guy fawkes crowd.
mircea_popescu: and they're known for a strict incapacity to maintain multiple loci of interest. so if indeed orangemanguyfawkes masks would be available, then #orangemanguyfawkes would have 1mn users ; but as they aren't, thereofe #orangeman has 800k users and #guyfawkes 200k users.
mircea_popescu: entirely the same ones, too,
asciilifeform: aand if 'coke' were to merge with 'pepsi', the # of drinkers of phosphoricacid-cum-cornliquishit would remain ~same
asciilifeform: but forsomereason they havent yet
mircea_popescu: exactly my point, right.
mircea_popescu: but there's ~economic interest~ in ~actually maintaining the divide~. not like guyfawkes foundation is out there buying ads.
asciilifeform: cuz faux 'choice' is part of the product.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform faux choice gotta be maintained. like any other http://trilema.com/2009/inchipuiti-va/ item.
mircea_popescu: and in this case, i suppose china's maintaining.
asciilifeform: and it's maintained by 'you can buy orange mask or black mask', 'red bottle, or black' etc
mircea_popescu: if one day they discovered orange paint one cent per ton cheaper than w/e sorta-like sickly white man pallor pigment currently in use...
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform all guy fawkes masks i ever saw were evidently same exact item made same exact place.
asciilifeform: naturally, iirc they're a disney catalogue item
mircea_popescu: (the study of masks, btw, is a very large part of anthropology, for very good reasons. not much to study these days, but what can you do.)\
asciilifeform: i saw one in ro, in the back of a parked car
asciilifeform: (exactly 1.)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i guarantee you that schmuck had a large debt load to maintain his illusion of being "in civilised world" along with occasional participation at "color revolutions" and various idiotic conversations with similarily inane "friends".
asciilifeform: was my immediate conclusion
mircea_popescu: ie, the orc pantsuit are just as pantsuit as the empire pantsuit.
asciilifeform: cant think of what else an orc could be trying to say (and it was scotchtaped so as to be visible) with that thing.
asciilifeform: prolly belonged to an amstan-like fella of 1 type or another
asciilifeform: y'know the type; prolly runs a 'tor' node, hangs out with Framedragger's chix, etc
mircea_popescu: in romania that's asking too much.
mircea_popescu: possibly runs ubuntu tho. or w/e, android, same thing.
asciilifeform: why, if in lithuania apparently pestilential
mircea_popescu: romanians are tards, what can i tell you
mircea_popescu: (everyone with two neurons to rub together long left)
asciilifeform: it dun exactly require brain
asciilifeform: ( to go around 'let's all anonymous' etc )
mircea_popescu: maybe not to your standards.
feedbot: http://qntra.net/2018/12/nation-of-africa-movement-towards-continental-free-trade-zone/ << Qntra -- Nation Of Africa: Movement Towards Continental "Free Trade" Zone
asciilifeform: in gringolandia these folx helpfully advertise themselves with '1337 h4xx0r' tshirts. but perhaps they dun sell those in orcland.
asciilifeform: iirc phf described the ru variant, with their clone of '2600 magazine' etc
mircea_popescu: it's actually a different demographic. ~these~, the moron you saw in romania, advertise themselves in the us as "having a hobby" in their corporate cv. they go race rc boats every third weekend or somesuch.
mircea_popescu: THAT is the level.
mircea_popescu: romania is a small country, and it is incorrect to identify groups by their rarity. a 10k demographic in romania is NOT "the same" as a 10k demographic in the us ; it's the same as the 100k one.
mircea_popescu: thus therefore, the romanian "vampire" is ~the us mall rat hanging out by hot topic ; not the cosplayer.
mircea_popescu: though there's about as many ro.vampires as us.cosplayers.

asciilifeform: wb mod6 !
mod6: Cool, yeah, I hear ya there. We smoked a ham, was pretty great actually.
mod6: thx asciilifeform
mod6: Anyway, I just stopped in as I've been resting, reflecting, doing a spot of work on these forthcoming blog posts over the month.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-26#1883094 << do i have this right, so the logs were ~43% shorter but this drove a summary ~37% longer ? ie, snr varied by at least a factor of 2.4 ?
a111: Logged on 2018-12-26 12:58 diana_coman: perhaps unsurprisingly, the relative lengths of logs are not quite enough to predict relative lengths of summaries, ofc; the 10-16 dec summary is a whopping 5.1k compared to 3.7k 26-2Dec despite logs being 31.3k vs 54.4k respectively; anyways, I'm rather relieved it turns out that the summary IS at least shorter than the logs!
