(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: I'm not living among my own kind as it stands.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: absolutely correct. should be something more along the lines of "unemployment rate for skilled programmers".

(trilema) gabriel_laddel: BingoBoingo: hmmm. I don't know much about the situation there and will refrain from commenting on it.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: BingoBoingo: or?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: BingoBoingo: really? because now they can't kill irritating brown people outright?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: BingoBoingo: for now. say US drops off the map.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: copywriter?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: you can't program!?

(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: and what do you mean by cannon fodder - 130k/yr slave?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: why?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: really now. you're unusable in, e.g., Israel?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: BingoBoingo: everything I've got to my name fits in two bags. I understand that ascii can't leave because of equipment, but that isn't the situation for most people.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: BingoBoingo: they're a couple hundred dollars.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: BingoBoingo: "reasonable definitions of fly" explain.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: BingoBoingo: you're too poor to fly?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: right. so what I'm driving at is that one must make that destination himself.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: BingoBoingo: why not just fly out?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: BingoBoingo: sorry, pet insecurity?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: BingoBoingo: come on. you're telling me that you can't set out for the promised land with 50k cash in your back pocket and be able to figure out some way to a) have bitcoin in the future and b) make enough USD now to live on?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: BingoBoingo: You don't have to give up USD immediately if you leave the US.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: cattle from "eden", wherever it ends up being.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: BingoBoingo: this is however, a good thing. it will leave out the
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: BingoBoingo: of course it isn't easy. building Israel into somewhere you might actually want to live wasn't easy.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: BingoBoingo: dosen't matter really. have you met any American cattle? when the country fails they'll find themselves rejected everywhere / killed outright.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: "It's a shame that taxpayers have to be on the hook for the criminal actions of their "servants" but it's still good when citizens let police know that there will be some consequences for rights violations."

(trilema) gabriel_laddel: "noooo mr. ss man, I was baaaah, a good baaah bah baaah citizen baaaah baaah"
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: "before 'the sheeple wake'" hmmm... I'm sorta under the impression that they're not ever going to wake. the thing with sheep is that they get tend to get slaughtered. after 5-10 years of living the life of American cattle the brain starts to deteriorate from lack of use. threaten them an all you get is pathetic bleating.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: nah, all over the place. But I only ever compute in bed while sitting.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: okay, so the monitor folds down with a usb keyboard in some sort of rack attached to it.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: re in bed computing. is there something wrong with a bluetooth keyboard on the lap and a monitor that folds onto the ceiling?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: (re: Threaded Emacs, I've already walked that road - don't waste your time. Not going to happen and won't fix the underlying issues with Emacs anyways.)
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: decimation: Emacs needs threads.

(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: if you've information contradicting the stackoverflow question in question please say so. I'm in the middle of building a non-retarted linux distribution and would like to have Emacs as battle ready as possible by default.

(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: I'm rather curious as to why you're fixing (for some value of that word - more akin to fixing up a corpse before burial, w/e) up a openbsd box when you've got your own gentoo 'fork'?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: <asciilifeform> http://patrick.wagstrom.net/weblog/2008/01/03/goodbye-openbsd << vintage whine re: dependency hells << infinite hitpoits, see UNIX haters handbook. (This isn't directed at ascii, but rather n00bs who have not read it.)
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: does anyone with experience with either gentoo or funtoo care to share their impression(s) of the projects? I'm interested in which group of devs is more intelligent, sane, etc.

(trilema) gabriel_laddel: in CL this is utterly fucking trivial (apropos "").
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: yeah, I know. there must be a table avalible through some hack though, ie the master 'document' javascript object.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: no more fucking with browser versions, just abstract over one version in particular and never again upgrade.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: bounce: I'm going to do this fucker once and for all and be done with it.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: ged into the desired table via regexps, pointers would be greatly appreciated. I'll post the finished output of this somewhere permanent to make it worth your time. I'd like to call these functions while the program is running btw (via mozrepl). The format of the table I would like to generate: http://paste.lisp.org/display/144251/raw
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: bounce: I'm looking for a canonical reference for the entire API exposed by mozilla firefox (I realize there are two, JS and the XUL. I'd like both). I'm looking through the firefox extension documentation, but frankly, they're shit (eg, I want to open a new tab, where is the page describing this function call? not anywhere in the search!). If someone familiar with the sources knew of a few files that could be massa

(trilema) gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: yes. thank you.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: the paper isn't arguring "better" simply that iq holds for races across environments.

(trilema) gabriel_laddel: l children can do them in less than one second. More intelligent children, measured by conventional IQ tests, perform faster on these tasks. East Asians average faster reaction times than Whites who, in turn, have faster reaction times than Blacks."
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: from linked paper "National IQs have been reported for 192 countries around the world. The results show that the average IQ for East Asians centers around 106; for Whites, about 100; for US Blacks about 85, and for sub-Saharan African Blacks about 70. The same rank-order of race differences is found for ‘‘culture-fair’’ tests and reaction-time measures. Reaction-time tasks are so easy that al
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: "the genetics underpinnign cognitive function is debatable and poorly understood." really now? I looked into this, there is no debate on the matter of race / iq / genetics (there is however, lots of screaming). What genes specifically determine iq is definitely up for debate.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: fml, spellchecker. epigenetics.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: IQ isn't all physiology, ie, genetics. Your iq is in part dependent on your epileptics. So, yes, "there’s a lot to the functioning of the brain that’s purely cultural, and thus ethnic" but that "black kids immersed into white culture could in principle get the same IQ measurements as white kids" does not follow. Blacks have smaller brains and lower iq because of their genetics - placing them in a
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: (no, it’s not all physiology, there’s a lot to the functioning of the brain that’s purely cultural, and thus ethnic, and thus sure black kids immersed into white culture could in principle get the same IQ measurements as white kids while black kids from Africa or the ghetto never will) << lolno.

(trilema) gabriel_laddel: thestringpuller: I suppose if you're following the D3 example you provided it makes little difference as its fixed dimensions.

(trilema) gabriel_laddel: manager. what if you want to fiddle with something in the package you've installed a (by definition) non-standard fashion? I hope you like grepping through sources, cause you're not gonna have M-. etc.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: thestringpuller: your client starts your visualization with the browser taking up 1/2 screen and resizes it. sure you're able to grab the relative location of all nodes and regenerate the whole graph to prevent it from having visual clipping errors, but UGH, fixing this requires CSS/HTML hackers. okay. someone has a library that handles this. cool. you install this library how? JS doesn't have a (standard) package

(trilema) gabriel_laddel: thestringpuller: I'm curious as to the stack you're using for the visualizer. Care to divulge details?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: I suppose. In any case, your essays exist.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: re, what they could get out of your posts. You've rather clearly articulated the problem with the current computing stack. I'm unaware of any other person documenting the incumbent's desire to cater to the stupid. As thinking men, they must find it irritating to interface with today's machines.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: I sent it to Terry A Davis, perhaps he can be convinced to write Lisp...
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: The list of targets, irc is Nick Szabo, Nicholas Taleb.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: decimation: thank you.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: do you have a link handy for the fellow who got pretty far?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: am I correct in assuming that documenting efforts in reverse engineering a particular xlinx model is illegal / will land one in trouble with usg?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: I'm at a loss for a better name. ALGOL, ~algol or algol is fine with me. Even their honorable ancestor was part of a fruitless evolutionary tree.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: I see. What I don't understand is why CLers haven't just ditched the web.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: you're claim is that the problem with lisp is that it's not built for the c-machine. my point is that even on c-machines it's still better than anything else out there.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: decimation: re, the problem with lisp... this isn't CL's problem, and not a real problem anyway. Compare to writing ~ALGOL on c-machine.

(trilema) gabriel_laddel: ;; google site: loper-os.org where lisp fails
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: not necessarily. middle management worldwide likes java... why?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: I doubt this very much. 'Lisp' simply needs managers to understand why they should order those not good enough to sling dope to write it.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: ;; google 3 generations of imbeciles was is enough
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: I don't understand what you're getting at. (emacs) Lisp still has to store things in files.

(trilema) gabriel_laddel: He got old and fat, making a change was too much for him. He says that there are 'problems' with (common) lisp. http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2006/04/lisp-is-not-acceptable-lisp.html
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: Funny little bit of history. Steve Y. goes on and on and on about how C++, java, etc. (algol derivatives) predictably create massively bloated codebases, gives lip service how Lisp solves these problems (which is does) and then goes back to... writing in ~ALGOL. (I asked a Googler who was recently on the same team as Steve what language they worked in - Java.)
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: steve yegge?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: Vexual: Thank you. I'm registered with gribble, but don't have the neccecary level to voice myself. As such, I shall note publicly that if I've something to say, I will ping a member of the channel.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: Regarding sexbots, I'm surprised that no one has brought the custom maid 3d integration with oculus rift.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: I read logs+loper-os+trilema, I have not yet registered for my own reasons.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: Registering with gribble?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: No one terribly interesting.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: You don't have to tell houseguests to flush the toilet. I see no reason you would have to tell SB, Taleb, etc. that they should use their brains. (Which is all I got from fluffypony's post)
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: That seems to me to be "just any terms"
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: What roles do you have in mind for them?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: So what we've got so far: There needs to be a list of people that we want here, and reasons why. We don't want them here on any terms and since they're VIP, we should have reasons for each of them. Why NS? Why Taleb specifically?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: everyone that matters will be here eventually, the question is when.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: would Theil be on it?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: Who do you have in mind for this list other than NS and Taleb?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: Okay, so what are these terms exactly?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: In the case of Nick Sabazo, one could sponsor a robotics contest for a highschool in his neighboorhood. Rules for this contest: http://web.archive.org/web/20060307220916/http://www.lucifer.com/~sean/N-FX/macro.html
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: imo, if you really want them here, you may have to personalize the invitations.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: The girl in question should start unbottoning her shirt at the second incidence of "bitcoin" taking it off ~2 sec after finished speaking. She should then proceed to give her show. Presumably she has some skill at this, and requires no futher direction. The video itself should be free of advertising, logos, watermarks etc. and be shot with a high quality camera.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: We hope to see you in-channel.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: You are hereby invited to join #bitcoin-assets. The interests of current members include: bitcoin, auditable cryptographic equipment, increasing economic inequality worldwide, non-Von Neumann architectures, etcetera. In short, we're repurposing Earth's resources for the pursuit of our collective aesthetic and would appreciate your input.
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: camgirl script:
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: Is your express purpose for the cam video to get people like Nick Szabo and Taleb to join #-assets?
(trilema) gabriel_laddel: they spend a lot on the homeless every year in SF. I imagine that when they hand it out they sort out the papers for these 'people'.
