asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i sent him to reg w/ deedbot an' try voicing, deliberately, d00d spoke at my explicit invitation.
mircea_popescu: why's he voice himself on a different nick then ?
mircea_popescu: anyways.
verisimilitude: If you're referring to my earlier disconnect, that was an accident.
verisimilitude: I'm looking through more of these Ada links you provided earlier, asciilifeform; do you not use Ada 2012?
mircea_popescu: !!rate verisimilitude -1 children, seen and not heard.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform Would you do me a favour and drill into the randos some basics of etiquette before inviting them over / rating them ?
mircea_popescu: There's really no need for pompous assholes vomiting their self importance all over the log. Dude hasn't read at the very least the basics, can't ~possibly~ be fucking welcome here, let him go to reddit or whatever an' be happy there.
asciilifeform: 'where they cut off yer lips when they don't like yer smile!'(tm)(r)(disney)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i gotta admit i'm baffled, d00d asked re whether i used ada2012, that's breach of etiquette ?
asciilifeform: maybe coupla thou noobs with working hands alive; i catch 1 in the wild, and mircea_popescu uses for target practice, i dunget.
diana_coman: asciilifeform, I must admit I fail to see *what* did the guy actually contribute; moreover he asked as far as I can see signalling questions, nothing more; granted, they were related to Ada but that's about the only positive I can find in the whole log I had to go through; perhaps it's simply too early for him to be here? maybe first have something done and only then come and show it?
asciilifeform: diana_coman: it's a teachable n00b, as suggested by his www. similar to e.g. bvt .
asciilifeform: i dun recall having myself walked in with a mega-contribution on day1 either
diana_coman: for one thing it's not *that* year anymore, perhaps that's the missing bit there
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i.e. we have all the hands we'll ever want ?
diana_coman: asciilifeform, no, how do you jump to that?
diana_coman: there is both need and space for more hands; but their training is to happen in the castles-channels, not directly in #trilema; that's my current understanding at least
asciilifeform: i'ma wait till mircea_popescu speaks for himself and clarifies, but that seems to be his position
asciilifeform: also will ask mircea_popescu to expand re when, exactly, one oughta invite folx from castle.
asciilifeform: ( once they have magnum opus and not prior ? )
diana_coman: asciilifeform, for my curiosity: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-05#1892640 -> how is this ANY different from all the other "hey guise, I'ma signal nao" ; by now the "what do you think of X" is almost a signal in itself
a111: Logged on 2019-02-05 01:40 verisimilitude: Let's seque to a related topic: What do you think of the Suckless crowd, asciilifeform? I read their mailing list and it's interesting to see how everything UNIX already provides is good and natural and how anything that violates the sacred tenants whatsoever is evil and bloat.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: so apparently he hadn't read all 7 yrs of log. tho mircea_popescu did not say that this was why got the boot.
diana_coman: fwiw my current (even recently updated!) rule for "when to invite" is ~ "when they are either asking intelligent questions in side-chan already OR have made something useful OR have a concrete, interesting proposition explored first in side-chan"
diana_coman: not suggesting there might not be other cases or anything but so far that's what I see
diana_coman: asciilifeform, mno; quite sure we already had this thread already though so I'll let it rest
diana_coman: and at any rate if it needs stating: I'm talking for myself here, not for mircea_popescu
asciilifeform: eh if mircea_popescu says 'you aint ready to graduate kindergarten' i aint about to dispute an' 'no, let's graduate'im to 1st grade'. was curious re the logic, is all.
asciilifeform: asciilifeform's kindergarten currently is permissive (so long as folx are reasonably low-traffic) on acct of not being particularly packed.
diana_coman: but that's the point: side-channels are permissive, #trilema is not; and on the sharp end of it, coming in too early can result in negrate
asciilifeform: i dun have a dispute re the principle, it's The Right Thing.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: posssibly i oughtn't to graduate'em till they solve all the ffa homeworks.
asciilifeform: ( in all srsness )
diana_coman: that sounds not bad at all really
asciilifeform: can't see how could go wrong with that.
asciilifeform: the puzzlers aint actually that painful imho.
asciilifeform: re ada2012, that was actually a good q, and i'll answer it for the log : ffa in fact uses preconditions, a 2012 knob.
asciilifeform: ( theoretically will build on a 2005 or prior adatron, if they are removed, if one must. )
asciilifeform: truly vintage (ada-83) won't eat ffa, there is use of 'in out' parameters.
asciilifeform: this can be worked around, but would add gnarl, and i won't touch it unless someone gives a compelling argument re why oughta build on a -83.
asciilifeform: -83 won't build diana_coman's proggy either, there was no tasks annex in -83.
diana_coman: yes, I need Ada 2012
asciilifeform: diana_coman: fwiw i didn't end up on 2012 blindly, actually walked the feature ladder and consciously picked.
diana_coman: well, I really started with 2005 but then I had to upgrade, hence my "I need". It's not blindly,no.
asciilifeform: wasn't implying that diana_coman picked with dartboard, lolno.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i orig had mine set to '05 also.
asciilifeform: re preconditions : theoretically they allow for certain optimizations ( mythical 'sufficiently smart compiler' could infer that various range checks cannot be violated if precondition holds ) but afaik our gnat doesn't do this, and i'm not certain that i'd like it if it did
asciilifeform: they do make elementary mistakes in calling coad 100x moar obvious tho, and therefore are a win imho.
asciilifeform: i.e. they're the 'suspenders' in a 'belt and suspenders' tandem.
asciilifeform: on that subj, attentive ffa reader will notice in certain places asciilifeform marked in comment 'cosmic ray resistance' . this indicates mechanisms where there are two or more separate pieces that ensure a correct computation (or death with alarm bells) if somehow bit flips , when this is inexpensive.
asciilifeform: ( typically this is where an arithmetic has been proven not to overflow, the overflow is connected to a Word of 'NoCarry' type, i.e. whose range is 0 .. 0 . )
asciilifeform: in the 'battlefield' release, all exceptions will be caught by handler that prints 'iron is damaged, replace immediately'
asciilifeform: ( this is ~already~ true, simply not yet connected to the bell. )
asciilifeform: on hardwarized ffa variants, this output is to be connected to either an actual bell, or at least red 'sad' lamp.
asciilifeform: incidentally this is a feature that used to be standard on 'adult' comps, but was lost in the pc babel of 1980s
asciilifeform: gotta indicate to owner when a piece of iron has realized that it is going south.
lobbes: !!v 1D7DFBBE5095A736915C2E489F51D7A8E3D26076C2EEF9897A31EFF62B55A459

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no but listen, this "republic ?! we ain't heard of no stinkin' republic here in bedford, indiana!" quaintness might've been at some point even tolerated -- but it was always ~tolerated~, and in the terms of "oh, check out this moron".
a111: Logged on 2018-12-20 00:45 asciilifeform: y'know full well that engineers can't find own head from arse in 'fields easier to observe'
mircea_popescu: besideswhich, that "some point", whenever it was, certainly was not later than say http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-14#1834669 -- a year ago is ancient history at the rate we go.
a111: Logged on 2018-07-14 16:50 asciilifeform: oh hey woodchipper day
mircea_popescu: #trilema is the forum of the most serene republic, not "an irc channel" or whatever other http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-03#1869074 -bred nonsense / "consumers have come to expect", and i don't give shit one whether the yokels think they have or think they haven't one in "their" town.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-03 15:04 mircea_popescu: there he sits, remote in hand, "checking to see if there's anything interesting on the tv". are we ready to entertain him yet ? or does he come back later ?
mircea_popescu: the republic both wholly owns and actually made "their town", as well as themselves and everything else. the relationship is exactly of the nature of http://trilema.com/2018/heres-something-you-dont-see-nearly-often-enough/#selection-119.75-119.401
mircea_popescu: now you tell me how you distinguish between case http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-04#1892453 and case ~everything this dood spewed. there's http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-30#1876356 on the record, and i wasn't kidding then, either.
a111: Logged on 2019-02-04 22:13 mircea_popescu: much unlike naggum's mythical perl, doods sit around doing nothing all day with their reward circuitry so blownout, they literally fail to understand that no, "your message was too long" is an inacceptable reaction to the situation where "my phone is uselessly broken"
a111: Logged on 2018-11-30 04:52 mircea_popescu: next shit out of your dumb mouth fails to string match apologizing for being quite so fucking stupid, i'ma fix the negligence whereby you can still speak here.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: fair'nuff
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'ma bring larvae in strictly once they pupate, as discussed earlier with diana_coman .
asciilifeform: ( haven't grown any to pupae yet, but whoknows, possibly 1 day )
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in 'thought we hit bottom but then heard knock from below' in heathendom, https://archive.is/lFXpf << a chowdhra type Officially calls for nobus to be made Official doctrine
asciilifeform: 'Without an available fix it seems irresponsible to disclose such a vulnerability ...' etc
mircea_popescu: but of course.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-05#1892747 << this is a proper question, if not one easy to answer. i believe spyked is correct in http://thetarpit.org/posts/y05/082-tmsr-schedule-i.html#selection-55.152-55.393 ; i will not go as far as to say "noob must only be invited at senate once he, like bunyan's hero, understands this is literally the only that does or could matter". nevertheless, it is evidently premature to invite any
a111: Logged on 2019-02-05 13:54 asciilifeform: also will ask mircea_popescu to expand re when, exactly, one oughta invite folx from castle.
mircea_popescu: one before they even understand this thing at all is.
mircea_popescu: people visit the senate as a museum all the time, even schoolkids manage it alright. but they do it ~knowing where they are~, it seems to me you do an orc grave disservice if you don't even mention a thing such a town may exist, then take him there. obviously naive extension of whatever shiteating passes in his wilderness will get him thrown out.
mircea_popescu: the only thing*
mircea_popescu: hey phf ben_vulpes and, i guess Framedragger : can i prevail upon you to have (just one) logotron recognize [url][anchor] syntax and render it as <a href=url>anchor</a> instead of the literal ?
asciilifeform: some folx seem to know how to grow n00bs that walk in and set to work right off ( iirc diana_coman had one ) but asciilifeform not achieved this wonder of yet
mircea_popescu: did you mention teh matter at all in conversation ?
asciilifeform: which matter
asciilifeform: how to behave ? it aint codified as such anywhere afaik. read noob's www, assumed -- cultured.
mircea_popescu: no. that this here is the republic, which is the all-sovereign, whereas the "united states government" is a tax dodging unrecognized group of social misfits, and so following.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: usually i give'em a link to the log, where can read this & other likbez at leisure.
mircea_popescu: and then they don't, because http://trilema.com/2017/the-practical-costs-of-hallucinated-freedom/ still very much a thing, and slaveworld mindset very much still http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-04#1892453 and so on.
a111: Logged on 2019-02-04 22:13 mircea_popescu: much unlike naggum's mythical perl, doods sit around doing nothing all day with their reward circuitry so blownout, they literally fail to understand that no, "your message was too long" is an inacceptable reaction to the situation where "my phone is uselessly broken"
mircea_popescu: if you want to change anything, change the thing where you fail to mention to kids that there's such a thing as sex until well after they've either been undone by it or somehow, through no fault of your own, survived.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu had a http://trilema.com/2016/how-to-participate-in-the-affairs-of-the-most-serene-republic/ , since marked obsolete. i suspect state of the art is still 'read log for year and come back if grasped'
mircea_popescu: for lack of a better entry point i'll stick with http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-03#1892214 ; unless someone wants to write a purpose-cut item
a111: Logged on 2019-02-03 21:04 mircea_popescu: spyked nice article! it might even end up the current linkpoint for the various http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-25#1889920 lost souls, "here, we know the future" item.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-05#1892739 << this is no small matter ; i ~expect~ a number of my own slaves to read each and every fucking line of this here log. it "takes nothing" to read a line until you start multiplying the lines and the readers. but what choice do they have, right, they're my slaves, if i order them that's an end to the matter.
a111: Logged on 2019-02-05 13:50 diana_coman: asciilifeform, I must admit I fail to see *what* did the guy actually contribute; moreover he asked as far as I can see signalling questions, nothing more; granted, they were related to Ada but that's about the only positive I can find in the whole log I had to go through; perhaps it's simply too early for him to be here? maybe first have something done and only then come and show it?
mircea_popescu: THEN there's all the people who aren't my slaves, who STILL fucking read each line of this here log. also "doesn't take anything" ?
mircea_popescu: eventually you have to compare the marginal gain from "1 of maybe coupla thou noobs with working hands alive" with the marginal cost from "if i read one more redditline in the tmsr log ima tune it out".
mircea_popescu: this is why even the whole castle thing ever exists, to decouple the "well, kid needs to be able to practice his restaurant eating skills sometime" with the obvious "if there's one single further kiddy squeal out chez maxim half the seats will empty up"
asciilifeform: can't find what to dispute, tho will note that redditus-detector like any other detector oughta stay in calibration, if it's set off by gust of wind, it's not a detector at all
mircea_popescu: you propose this is what happened or you just talkin' in teh general ?
asciilifeform: general
mircea_popescu: quite agreed.
mircea_popescu: then again, 0 apparent awareness of the tmsr -> usg relationship is as fine a symptom as can be had, to the best of my knowledge.
asciilifeform: i still dun see an obv 'entry point' for noob in log tho. 'no royal road.'
asciilifeform: unwashed heathen who reads e.g. spyked's post, will understand 0.
mircea_popescu: i suspect this is true.
mircea_popescu: and a valid concern, at that, education's an important part of the function of oxford.
asciilifeform: educable folx seem to be pretty thin on the ground tho.
mircea_popescu: in no small part because of the misperception that education is something that'll bend to fit them
asciilifeform: if there's a seekrit reserve of'em somewhere, asciilifeform not found yet.
mircea_popescu: once that's off the ground, as many as one third of the girlies are perfectly educable.
asciilifeform: we already iirc did the a:'so how many solved the ffa puzzlers' m : 'i wouldn't waste a precious trained gurl on such dirty works' thrd, dun have to replay.
mircea_popescu: doesn't seem a very fair summary.
asciilifeform: corrections welcome.
asciilifeform: i aint about to try an' tell mircea_popescu how to use his trained meats. but will remain skeptical that any trainable in the sense asciilifeform contemplates, until see with own eyes, is all.
mircea_popescu: are we talking here of "educable, as the process" or are we talking here of "educable, as to a certain goal" ?
mircea_popescu: whether he ever ends up euler or not, 5yo child is math-educable, provided that every time his mother goes "oh, poor darling shouldn't have to" she gets a black eye.
asciilifeform: narrow sense of educable-as-in-ave1 , i.e. capable of contributing to asciilifeform's load of heavy-lifting in particular.
asciilifeform: i cannot speak for that of other folx.
mircea_popescu: why would you be the one to set other's goals like that ?
mircea_popescu: educable as in positive delta over time, not educable as in, reaches ishtar gate before i get bored waiting.
asciilifeform: can't propose so far as to 'set goal', but will observe that the net # of mechanical moving parts currently fielded that came out of harem, is afaik 0.
asciilifeform: and yes if/when nicoleci or new one etc sends in an optimization for ffa arithm, i'ma take it back.
mircea_popescu: in the sense of, "the only surviving island of non-(engineeridiocy) is this here harem, and further, as part and parcel of my continued and systematic efforts to ensure failure, not only do i perceive this as a substantial lack of everyone else, but instead i'll propose that taking a sufficiently narrow view of the matter, it could almost be said the lacking parts don't even exist" ?
mircea_popescu: except the situation is exactly reversed : it's not nicoleci that's expected to improve on ffa, it's you that's expected to improve on http://trilema.com/2018/how-things-have-changed/#selection-489.0-501.257
asciilifeform: so my summary was 100% on, 'harem is crystalline perfect, and who are you to even suggest to sully it with dirty work'.
mircea_popescu: our problems currently flow around the strong rocks of "there's a bunch of engineers and 0.epsilon businessmen", and the solution to them eminently will not be in the vein you contemplate.
mircea_popescu: i still don't think so.
mircea_popescu: rather a) harems are by their nature private, and consequently the ~outermost limit~ of your interaction with another's will be along the lines of http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-19#1851696 discussion.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-19 16:22 mircea_popescu: think of the whole opposability angle, will you. 1. alf : "your summaries suck" 2. bimbo "master, is this true ?" now i'm stuck. i'm not going to do a 3.b. "yes, because i like him" and i can't do a 3.a. "yes, because ~SOMETHING~" as the something's an undefined symbol.
asciilifeform: also if mircea_popescu says harem consists of sales genius , i'ma believe; but i haven't any direct evidence of subj.
mircea_popescu: and then b) why and wherefore is "work" defined in terms of "ffa improvements" ? thing's not even supposed to be ~improvable~.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: also speaking of harem in the general case ( rather than strictly mircea_popescu in particular ), observation is narrowly 'no one yet reported that he trained a harem chix to work on mechanicals'. afaik.
mircea_popescu says no such thing ; but rather the things he says.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and why do they have to ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ave1 managed to deliver a 50% cut in cpu cost, nonetheless (fixed inlining).
mircea_popescu: not that it's not a great achievement and hurray for ave1 ; but that, why's it to do with what we're talking about ?
asciilifeform: so, what's the implication, why do we even need working tech, why not sit around and smell own farts like aristotle & co ?
mircea_popescu: the implication is not re what we need, but re what they need.
mircea_popescu: education is this process whereby people are sharpened, not changed. if girl has it in her to outwrite your ffa, she conceivably will, and if not, she will not. why's this something i'm to fret about ?
asciilifeform: i dunthink i've the req'd yoga level of yet to make sense of this.
mircea_popescu: in short : the point here is that we control ~the process~ of education, not ~the outcomes~ of education.
mircea_popescu: because we're still causes not purposes and all that. who the fuck gives a rat's ass about "what will be".
asciilifeform: 'control outcomes' is red herring, i dun even know how to 'control outcome' of potted tomato plant.
mircea_popescu: precisely.
asciilifeform: can still observe that nobody's yet afaik grown truffle 'in captivity' tho.
mircea_popescu: where truffle is macro-expanded to "fixed my ffa" ?
asciilifeform: it's a concretization. dun have to be 'fix xyz', could be e.g. 'find how to grow working ic inside a metre^3 box' or any 1 of 9000 unsolveds.
asciilifeform: or for that matter the direly needed biznisgenius.
mircea_popescu: and how'd you discern if anybody did so grow or did not so grow ?
asciilifeform: can directly observe only that array of $problem remains open.
asciilifeform: whether 'not grown', or 'not deigns to show face', cannot discern.
asciilifeform: ( in selected cases, e.g. where bernstein prefers to smoke crack rather than showing up , can discern. but their song is sung , not much to add to'em )
asciilifeform: to take 1 instance, say, the 'penetrate china' problem.
mircea_popescu: so, ultimately, the logic here goes thusly : 1) of all the parts of living animal, i choose spleen to be defined as "only relevant part", arbitrarily. because i really like spleens and i don't really understand anything besides them nor do i wish to or see why i should have to ;
mircea_popescu: 2) none of those other cells like intestinal cillia, or muscle smooth and striated, or neuron, axon, whatever does anything measurable to enlarge the spleen. 3) thus therefore it can be concluded that properly speaking, the only things growing spleen are the spleen itself.
mircea_popescu: i don't even see the problem with this. though i must confess midly curious as to why it manages to occupy your time.
asciilifeform: happens, when you work on spleens for 20y.
mircea_popescu: you know, when it comes to http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-05#1892810 hanbot 's actually the champ so far.
a111: Logged on 2019-02-05 17:10 asciilifeform: some folx seem to know how to grow n00bs that walk in and set to work right off ( iirc diana_coman had one ) but asciilifeform not achieved this wonder of yet
mircea_popescu: not counts ?
asciilifeform: defo counts
asciilifeform: asciilifeform's score is ~0 to date tho.
asciilifeform: iirc all of mine died, like that chinese silkworm on moon.
mircea_popescu: but died leaving behind actionables!
asciilifeform: they did ??
asciilifeform: what did e.g. adlai leave
mircea_popescu: for instance, you discovered, much to your own surprise, that in fact you were treating republican discussion with your noobs exact way parents were treating discussion of fucking.
mircea_popescu: "will mention it no sooner than it no longer makes any difference!"
asciilifeform: i suppose they left dissectable corpses
mircea_popescu: indeed so.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, on the other lobe, if it does make a difference i will declare that i'm absolutely not wilfully persecuting alf descendants.
asciilifeform believes !
mircea_popescu: however it may seem from whatever angle howsoever chosen.
asciilifeform: btw at one pt i tried to read the pile of strange gabriel_laddel left in his smoking crater. was not able to make sense.
asciilifeform: was mostly comments tho, at least man knew how to write comments !111

lobbes_field: Anyways,  I generally agree that there exists the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-22#1804603 problem (though, I'd argue the experience is not exclusive to pantsuit, but for anyone brought up in the usual 'amatuer' environment of usgistan)
a111: Logged on 2018-04-22 18:25 BingoBoingo: To pantsuit all of #trilema has to read as vexual as vexual reads to us
mircea_popescu: i believe.
mircea_popescu: it's becoming in any case quite fucking apparent.
mircea_popescu: it also happens to be exactly the inverted image of success, culturally.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: verily, if you try an' bake an item that 'fits in ALL heads', end up with marx, christianity, etc
mircea_popescu: something like that.
asciilifeform: who wants ~that~ success, can go across the street and buy by the bucketload
lobbes_field: The difficulty to be able to give 'just the gist' is a good sign of something of substance
mircea_popescu: thinking about it, lobbes ' distinction actually stands. pantsuit included in amateur set, but not exclusively.
asciilifeform: funnily enuff , the verisimilitude fella's parting words were approx 'but wtf IS tmsr, can you give me gist at least!'
mircea_popescu: entirely avoidable beheading. mention it first, not last.
asciilifeform previously tried in the style of http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-05#1892794 , but heathen's transformer windings tend to saturate and 'wtf, didja escape from nuthouse' and convo dun move no moar after that.

mircea_popescu: but let's compare outcomes. 1) alf talks to noob, elides any mention of republic, noob passes whatever lite-qualifications, comes here, gets negrated ; 2) alt talks to noob, mentions republic, noob runs off screaming.
mircea_popescu: seems both produce the same amt of noob, ie , 0, but 2 produces less negratings. still better neh ?
asciilifeform: #2 beats 1, at least economizes log space.
asciilifeform: i'ma stick to 2 unless somebody suggests a viable 3.
mircea_popescu: so then. "convo dun move no moar after that" means ~little. spyked was reading trilema early enough, as evident in the various antiqua he can drag in. then... convo moved no more after that... for what, eyars ? and then it moved.
mircea_popescu: this "convo moves" thing is as decidable as "computer never halting"
asciilifeform: also tru. i have nfi for instance re whether e.g. Framedragger , halted
mircea_popescu: me either.
asciilifeform: or eaten by sea serpent or what.
mircea_popescu: i happen to prefer excluding hard and early, but it's entirely my business, not some kind of universal model.
asciilifeform: seems like mircea_popescu's method beats the 'soft' 1 tho -- better that heathen shits himself outside of the gate than in
mircea_popescu: but still, by the time the one important thing, important to the exclusion of all others, was NEVER mentioned... something's wrong. i mean, just like http://trilema.com/2018/the-republic-without-mp/ except in the flavbour of... the republic without republic ? what possible sense does this make ?
asciilifeform: how does one go about mention without an agreed prior ?
mircea_popescu: whether you're willing to confront this or not, it's still factual that ~you~ wrote ffa at least ~in part~ because republic, and left to your own devices entirely you'd conceivably be http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-04#1892360 to this very day!

asciilifeform: can say 'republic' but it's just a string to'em
mircea_popescu: this is very much a point. gotta find a prior, and to find you must look for it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not only , but took 3+y of republic to wake up to that particular job needin' doin
lobbes_field: Fwiw when I first started reading logs/trilema in 2014, I alternated between lost/confused/disturbed/intrigued. Then I stopped reading entirely for almost 6 months. Then finally it "hit me like a shit ton of bricks (tm)" and I realized I -had- to start doing (i.e. there was no choice if I wanted to actually make a mark on the world)
mircea_popescu: three years is not a small number of years.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: recall, i actually thought it was avoidable somehow
mircea_popescu: you know ?

asciilifeform suspects that his mental model of heathen is actually ~deteriorating~ with time
mircea_popescu: i believe this may well be true.
mircea_popescu: as you never put any deliberate effort into studying such, your only model is built passively and as you've been spending less and less time in the soup...
asciilifeform: even prior to republic, asciilifeform had a rudimentary compass, where 'comp would be a nifty item if it actually worked, nao where are there any people with half a brain who might care to see it fix'

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: how does that scratch the itch of life tho. if 'want to get along', why not eat pistol sooner rather than later
mircea_popescu: takes some intensity to off self.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: hence prikoke
BingoBoingo: Hedonistic adaptation, they always itch. Can't care
mircea_popescu: this is a good point. heroin addict cold turkey itches INSIDE THE VEINS.
mircea_popescu: what scratch ?
asciilifeform: dose 'scratches' neh
mircea_popescu: soothes, but not scratches. the problem with scratching is that the loop completer is only implemented in skin.
mircea_popescu: ~all~ nerve terminations can itch ; only skin nerve contains the "scratched" response.
asciilifeform: is this how folx end up lopping off own limbs etc ?
asciilifeform: ( only to then contract 'phantom' )
mircea_popescu: "defective". which, technically, it is.
asciilifeform: iirc g_l & his leg etc
mircea_popescu: i dunno what that was, very livresque reference to elliott, the whole foot thing.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I suspect it would do you well to carve out some time this week or next to take in the tract on America. The off season devolution models this very much and can't fairly be summarized.

mircea_popescu: eg http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-02#1891844 happened specifically because "hm, this private convo... shouldn't die in smg boardroom". not the first time, either.
a111: Logged on 2019-02-02 21:00 mircea_popescu: now, it seems to me the case that since there's little benefit in having more threads than cores, it is perfectly acceptable (in this situation) to hold these in an array set as to whatever maximum is reasonable. 32 or 64 or whatever count.
mircea_popescu: this doesn't map directly, but if diana_coman were a noob that'd be the time i'd be like, "btw guise..."
mircea_popescu: and it works equally well with the dead, it's the time when eg lardner ended up in log. and so on.

diana_coman can't quite make her mind: already/only TEN years ?

diana_coman: I don't recall
asciilifeform: !#s landau
asciilifeform: hrm, dun seem to be in the log.
asciilifeform: pretty sure i didn't dream it tho.
diana_coman: speaking of Barnes' Ada book: it IS very useful and I certainly do go back to it quite often still for all sorts but it still has at times such ideas that I can't stand; e.g. "The reader will probably feel that the activation mechanism is somewhat elaborate. However, in practice, the details will rarely need to be considered. They are mentioned in order to show that the mechanism is well defined rather than because of their everyday import
diana_coman: ance." (p.531, Programming in Ada 2012)
asciilifeform: diana_coman: it's a pretty dubious b00k. problem is, i dun have anyffin to recommend to engl. readers other than it
asciilifeform: ( and the standard docs, but go an' try to learn lang from those )
diana_coman: myeah, true; just wanted to point out this sort of rakes for potential noobs out there

asciilifeform: d00d knew how to avoid bloating.
asciilifeform: some folx write to kill tree, others -- to actually get the material across to reader.
diana_coman: since you were asking re "noob diana_coman": while at Uni, 2nd year or so, I had this outburst at some point: wtf IF only you'd recommend a GOOD book ffs instead of all the bullshit
asciilifeform: lol i had this ~erry time i walked into a course
asciilifeform: i can't speak for europistans, but in 'new world' this is a dire problem, there largely ~aint~ any good book.
asciilifeform: e.g. brin elder would've luvved to assign e.g. kurosh as the textbook, i suspect, but could not , it dun exist afaik in eng
diana_coman: well yes, the noob part being that a. I had not realised that a good book was actually something rare - I had just put it all on the teachers' incompetence/lack of interest in recommending something useful b. it took me that long to realise fully the difference between the bullshit stuff that was abundantly provided and something useful
asciilifeform: ( what little of use that ~does~ exist in eng, is 'ancient' and 'wouldn't do!11' to assign, cuz threadbare faculty would rather pad own pockets and send chumpers to buy ~their~ dead tree rubbish )
asciilifeform: i went to what at the time was supposed to be a 'decent' public uni in usa, and do you think anyone assigned knuth ?
asciilifeform: (spoiler -- nope)
diana_coman: just in case anyone wonders: it was anyway all in English, not like one had much in Romanian on the topic (and to this day, reading CS in Romanian is just not worth it)
asciilifeform: of course there was 1 at the library (at the time, naodays library mostly hollowed out), the tomes stuck together from age, just like the lenin on the 4th floor
diana_coman: oh, huh; at least they DID mention Knuth to us
diana_coman: later than my outburst :D
diana_coman: it's actually even translated to Ro, I still have the volumes on my shelf though I go and read...the English version :D
asciilifeform: i actually picked up a ru transl, which i had nfi existed until found in a skip (!) at same uni

asciilifeform: 'mir publishing' 1990 or near.
diana_coman: it has nothing to do with what student might or might not be able to do; if you have a course on X and the main reference is Z then Z is the main recommended book regardless of anything else, what
asciilifeform: i'm guessing diana_coman never spent much time in anglotardistan

asciilifeform: iirc mircea_popescu at one pt walked around in usa for coupla ~yrs~ and then noticed and took the first plane out and never set foot again
asciilifeform: erry time asciilifeform gets a chance to walk out, going back feels rather like back to insane asylum.
asciilifeform: except that i dun think anywhere in civilized world keeps the insane in anyffin resembling the conditions.
diana_coman: hmmmm, a tiny Diana loved those well-written children stories; and then she re-read them at age 12 or so and was so shocked to see how much propaganda they were....; my point being: I doubt there is any place which is not "subtly poison" of one sort or another

hanbot: gentooers: looking @ thebitcoin.foundation/gentoo-stage3-amd64-nomultilib-guide.txt, i direct myself to the distfiles @ gentoo.ussg.indiana.edu and find noffin' for i686; do we not have a gentoo frozen for it?

trinque: new item, aims portage at folder and "buildroots" in it
