mircea_popescu: speaking of which, it's true that the whole alt-pantsuit "foss" movement failed to design (or to deliver, or to mean anything, or etcetera, sursure), but nevertheless the ashes they left behind are amenable to retrospective redesign.
mircea_popescu: it's pretty clear LAMP was the whole schtick, and it's evident where imagemagick would have fit into that stack.
mircea_popescu: whole fucking thing is browser candy for the masses, aka "linux".
mircea_popescu: now, why they opted to do it poorly and scatter-piss-idly instead of straight up is anyone's guess.
mircea_popescu: phf it's just a genesis, why multiple patches ?
phf: was supposed to be btcbase/patches, like "patches" as a not very descriptive name of the section where vpatches are stored
mircea_popescu: oh
mircea_popescu: anyway, meanwhile binary bits were discovered in there, so it'll likely change still.
phf: yeah, saw in logs, i'm going to throw it at the patcher anyway to see if it behaves
phf: also in gnu patch news http://rachelbythebay.com/w/2018/04/05/bangpatch/
mircea_popescu: lel
mircea_popescu: and on the old films front, "20`000 years in sing sing" is a gnarly piece of nonsense about on there with "the room". except with spencer tracy playing the incomprehensible retard.
phf: so bad, it's not even worth a trilema review. a byline in logs at most.
mircea_popescu: too remarkably bad to not say anything at all.
mircea_popescu: but i mean... dat prison-made REVOLVER. with a PERFECTLY WORKING SILENCER. all made out of common prisonhold materials.
mircea_popescu: (pro tip : silencers dun really work on pistols, even with today's materials science.)
phf: you cut put a silencer on a small caliber subsonic rounds, and then you're going to get a very satisfying "tink tink tink" sound, but that's not going to have any kind of stopping power.
phf: *can
mircea_popescu: no but listen, a revolver, right ? it revolves. how does it revolve ?
mircea_popescu: are you going to put caulk in the space it revolves through ? or what ?
phf: oh oh, right
phf: i missed the revolver part
asciilifeform: nagant -- silenceable
mircea_popescu: leaving aside how you even make revolvers out of whatever dubious zamak. i mean yes i've seen prison made firearms, but they were without exception single round sorta things.
asciilifeform: ( has that oddball expanding neck shell and cylinder that racks forward, closing the gap )
mircea_popescu: gas seal thing
asciilifeform: aha
asciilifeform: interestingly, after half century pause, nagant rounds being made again, commercially -- iirc serbia
mircea_popescu: was kind of a big deal for a while, that.
mircea_popescu: anyway ; the item in the film is not a nagant.
phf: i'm not sure what the comparisons to the room mean at this point. i suspect it means "it's not really `so bad it's good`, it's really just dull bad, and you should avoid it", or?
mircea_popescu: oh, and you should see their lock knock system! it looks like a converted sewing machine!
mircea_popescu: phf it means it does not map to any sort of rational, coherent, non-contradictory model of the world.
mircea_popescu: whether one enjoys this or not is muchly a case of mood, i suspect. there's nothing intrinsicly good or valuable about it, it's like pareidolia except not about faces, but about stories. if you see something in there, you brought the something you see from home.
phf: hmm, i can see that
mircea_popescu: items like the celebrated http://trilema.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/cina-cea-de-lol.jpg ; is it art ? if you think so, it's definitely not because of it.
phf: that's also a lot more generous than my "goddamn kids trying to force a cult following out of a turd"
mircea_popescu: no but see, it's a fundamental problem of the meta-world. it's not JUST pareidolia that is a very specific disease by which man born after 1990 can be well set apart from man in general. it's also a confusion between pets, ie animals, and cartoon characters, ie fictitious people as discussed in http://trilema.com/2015/peripateticists-kinda-except-girls-not-boys-bare-cunt-instead-of-toga-and-walking-around-the-house-not-the-ga
mircea_popescu: rden-but-otherwise-exactly-the-same/ and "peta" and "stereotypes" and the whole rest of it.
mircea_popescu: could readily argue that it's a cognitive revolution on the level of the original "voices in head" multicameral mind, in impact, effects, whatever.
mircea_popescu: people today literally lost the ability to conceptualize the negative space between ontology and characterisation.
mircea_popescu: which is the deep problem we reference now and again with the "original penguin" stories. "nobody told me that the men with guns can very well kill me" is not the idle protestation of a retard, but the desperate cry of a broken mind that literally DOES NOT REALISE things that weren't on the spec sheet may indeed exist.
mircea_popescu: which is why they make such terrible programmers, "i didn't tell the computer to give out root, why did it ?!" ; and which is why they make such terrible partners, "i did not consent to my asshole being sore after fucking!!1".
mircea_popescu: it all comes down to the same "how can something exist that's not SAID", which is what's at work here too.
mircea_popescu: and obviously the driver of that is, "there's so much said, it's a deluge already, even without considering anything else. so we're not gonna."
mircea_popescu: in any case, all to the last of the paralogic, cvasirational behaviours of the neet, the pantsuit, the modern man generally all come back to this exact problem, of misrepresenting ontology as a subset of gnoseology, "things that exist are those among the things that are said which also had the 'exists' attribute set."
mircea_popescu: needless to say never before was this insanity seriously contemplated, of having reality as a subset of representation.
mircea_popescu: "but mp, you agree the cardinal of the set of all the things that can be represented is larger than the cardinal of the set of all the things that can be" "of course" "so then you say the set of things that are necessarily contains the set of things that can be represented ?" "yes" "but this is self-contradictory!" "hurr. there's more reals than there's rationals, and the happenstance that each rational can be denoted as an i
mircea_popescu: nfinity of nominally different fractions doesn't help this. yes 2/4 3/6 4/8 etc etc. you still can't touch pi, and pi shall bury you."

BingoBoingo: !~later tell Trinque Happy Birthday and Congrats on crossing Block 400000
jhvh1: BingoBoingo: The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: and in today's dose of scholarship : the texts of the catholic church endured unchanged for at the least eleven centuries : from the gelasian sacramentary or before, until the 1950s. at this point, the long held tradition of praying "et pro perfidis judaeis" became insufferable. at first giuseppe pacelli declared that "perfidis" in the original does not mean perfidious, but faithless. then roncalli made this an official rule
mircea_popescu: at first, then took the adjective out altogether. then vatican 2 took out the reference to the "veil on the hearts of jews" also, because "possibility of misinterpretation".
mircea_popescu: the funny bit in all of this is that very much yes, the latin "per-fides" much like "per-jury" and other constructions surviving to this day denotes quite literally, faithless, "with a broken apparatus for the human behaviour commonly known as faith".
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, this doesn't actually make the "perfidious" translation incorrect. that's fucking exactly what the term means today, also.
mircea_popescu: that it so happens perfidious has a lot of literary skirting putting it in its proper context, whereas the novel coinage "faithless" does not is kinda like permitting the gypos to change their name, or calling idiocy or "handicap" something else.
mircea_popescu: you know that the rotten substance will permeate eventualyl the fresh covers, and sooner or later you'll have the same association for the new term as for the old, as the association is earned, not arbitrary.
mircea_popescu: but... somehow pantsuit finds itself subjectively in this position where it has the sovereign authority to keep throwing out people's work, and subject them to having to re-do the same work.
mircea_popescu: "please upgrade to the new prayerbook, [and then take another 1100 years to work out the value of "abraham and his posterity", which just happens to be exactly equal to the original "perfidis judaeis", but whatever, you don't KNOW that, yes, it's not "scientific", what do you feel about the methodlogy ?!?!?]"
mircea_popescu: and of course faith here isn't "religious belief", but faith, quite literally, metaphysical trust. the behaviour that breaks the prisonner's dilemma.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ilkka kokkarinen had a hilarious piece iirc re the changing of words, in almost exactly this formulation
mircea_popescu: kinda hard to escape notice.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i find it hysterical that the ~only possible interpretation of the internet meaning of "jew" today is EXACTLY the meaning that the catholics distilled into their prayerbook, "these dorks can't break out of prisonner's dilemma".
mircea_popescu: unspoken, ununderstood, golum of humanity, forever retracing the same potholes.
mircea_popescu: but it certainly puts some cold water on any progressive verbiage. "the people" of today are EXACTLY as smart as the people of forever. euclids, eulers, etceteras come and go, but the problems of reality REMAIN, and remain identically the same, irrespective of the "progress" at the top of the representational hierarchy. what does it help anyone or anything that i sit here and express this in context informed by a three to fiv
mircea_popescu: e millenary cultural tradition, when i'm expressing the exact same things expressed by a similar guy on a history half this tall ?
mircea_popescu: "oh but mp, jewface 4chan memes are so very DIFFERENT from 1418 easter celebration puppet shows" "i'm sure they are ; and i'm sure you'd know ; because i was there back then and didn't see you in the crowd, so logically you'd know and i wouldn't, hurr."
mircea_popescu: now how the fuck this invariance can exist in the first place, and how the fuck that seeming impossibility ~was implemented~, so that whether possessed of speech only, or of speech and the written word, or of speech + written word + pony express, or of all that + internet, boy still doesn't know what the fuck to say to girl AND ALL THAT... how, really. how ?
mircea_popescu: that's metaphysics right there.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the reason pogroms started happening sometime after 1100 or so and then stopped happening sometime aroun 1900 or so has absolotely NOTHING to do with "antisemitism" or "hatred", circle of ~ or not whatever. zilch whatsoever at all.

mircea_popescu: pogroms started happening because the post-cluny society became economically interdependent to a degree where specific behaviours (as above) were required for its survival. as late as 900, everyone could be "for themselves", and mostly not starve, but by 1300 or so the ONLY chance of alimentary survival in western europe, all of england etc was co-operation. and the faithless behaviour is very much a bar to cooperation, and t
mircea_popescu: hereby a major threat to survival.
mircea_popescu: and pogroms stopped happening because as capitalism integrated this interdependency in a more comprehensible conceptual graph, they were no longer blindly necessary. and they're expensive as fuck, so. went bye-bye.
mircea_popescu: pointedly absent in all of this, any giving of a shit ~whatsoever~ about jews in their subjective sense, of "son of my mom" or w/e it is.
ave1: thx asciilifeform, will post it a little later!
mircea_popescu: so rather than taking the "perfidis judaeis" out of the catholic prayerbook, how about replacing all the instances of inept economy discussion on the internet about how 1000 people fish in a pond and then the pond loses productivity and bob comes up with the idea of not fishing so much but abraham BREAKS FAITH with what it fucking is. "the jew jewed the all-filter agreement, duh."
mircea_popescu: anyway, i'm done. sorry for the lengthy log spill, it evidently should have been an article but sadly it dribbled into my head in bits and i never realised this.

douchebag: I'll stick one right on the skydeck in Willis Tower too
douchebag: That'll cost money though if I remember correctly
douchebag: I think it will be a real fun day, especially telling the workers at these places to fuck off while they're threatening to call the cops on me

mircea_popescu: otherwise, it's made by people who haven't the first clue re principal cinematography, editing, purchasing, anything. the script is evidently laboured, and not terrible. it takes a lot of effort to rise to the level of unremarkable in that field.
mircea_popescu: anyway, a sort of "pennsylvania magical realism" if you will, where "magazine subscription" selling outfit doesn't need a SOP for dealing with hookers, because they're not everyu other recruit ; nor are there any pimps to burn down your shit for turning tricks in their hick town ; and you can safely go for attempted murder + gta in rural texas and get away with it np.
mircea_popescu: they evidently have nfi who adriana was, for instance, judging by how chick misses out on drowning for a closer. it's just... i'd pass them if they were in my hs cinema school, and throw away the tape.
mircea_popescu: hs cinema class*
