davout mircea_popescu: it shares with the dutch oven the fact that it's a pot i guess, it's exclusively made of clay though [05:23]
davout anyway, i think it's the type of things that is best when simply demonstrated [05:24]
punkman davout, does the handle of the thing have a hole for air to escape? [05:25]
davout punkman: mine doesn't have a handle, and no, it doesn't really need holes for air and steam to escape, the thing is not tightly shut [05:28]
punkman davout, a lot of them seem to have a little hole on google images, seemed weird, guess it doesn't go all the way through the handle [05:29]
punkman what else do you cook in it, since it's unglazed? [05:30]
davout it has more to do with the way it's manufactured than and actual functional necessity [05:30]
davout i only use it for potatoes [05:31]
punkman I suppose it'd be good for chestnuts and things [05:31]

punkman "As the representative glyphs for people in the Unicode code charts look in many cases as if they represent white people, even in monochrone, and as the earliest implementations of multicoloured glyphs tended to show very pale skin tones, there has been an impression that Unicode is only catering for a certain racial demographic. Over the last year or two there have been widespread calls [07:32]
punkman for the Unicode Consortium to encode racially diverse versions of emoji characters representing humans or human body parts, and under intense pressure from the public, the media, and consortium members such as Apple and Google, the Unicode Technical Committee put forward a set of five emoji skin tone modifier characters as a solution." [07:32]
punkman "By themselves these five characters are intended to be displayed as square fragments of colour, but when combined with any of a defined set of Unicode characters representing people or human body parts they should magically change the character's skin tone." [07:33]
punkman "This solution may work for Unicode characters showing a single person, but you may wonder how multiracial emoji symbols showing two or more people with different skin tones could be represented. Would there, for example, be a way of specifying that U+1F46A family should be rendered with mother, father and child with different skin tones? The answer would seem to be no; but the Emoji Ad [07:36]
punkman hoc Committee has come up with an cunning solution that allows for the combination of emoji characters, emoji modifier characters and zero-width joiner characters to produce arbitrary emoji glyphs, where a sequence of eleven Unicode characters would be intended to be rendered as a single colourized glyph showing a multiracial family." [07:36]
jurov yay, hope they will add all the other colors, too. so that gorbachev's head can be accurately rendered [07:42]

mircea_popescu seriously, send them oxen back to the farm, there's no need for freeing THESE particular slaves. [10:55]
mircea_popescu davout anyway, its usually a 5 liter-ish, unglazed clay pot with a lid (that can be made airtight by applying a butter seal). i usually cook potatoes with meat in them (potatoes on the outside, make a house for hte meat). also great for mousaka, lasagna etc [10:57]

mircea_popescu iirc it was just another shrinkwrap attempt [11:59]
mircea_popescu (under a "better" name) [11:59]
ascii_butugychag shrinkwrap ? [12:00]
ascii_butugychag it doesn't link other libc, no [12:00]
mircea_popescu "preserve state of the shitstack so our software works" [12:00]
ascii_butugychag but has dummy stubs for most of the gnarly bits (fopen, etc) [12:00]
mircea_popescu incidentally, i've been thinking lots about your famous silicone whine. (ie, "trb can't exist until etching plant"). from a twu wuv perspective, what we actually need is an alternate technology. i am guessing that a) it will exist and b) whoever deploys it will be trb anyway. [12:02]
mircea_popescu gotta make self-meshing petri dishes! [12:02]
ascii_butugychag iirc i described several hypothetical variants here. [12:02]
mircea_popescu indeed. [12:02]
ascii_butugychag or possibly in gpggram [12:03]
mircea_popescu central topic at teh conference too [12:03]
ascii_butugychag aha. [12:03]
mircea_popescu but no. the more i think about it, the more etched silicone is not something you wish to marry to. [12:03]
mircea_popescu not anymore than the soviets actually wanted to marry to the hitler-era notions of economic activity and growth [12:04]
mircea_popescu "oh we need more steel mills!111 machine factories!!11" [12:04]
mircea_popescu to make an alternate but related point : i just ran grep -Fxv -f on two files, about a million records together. the ~quarter mn result took all of two seconds. [12:08]
mircea_popescu the idea being that there are two discrete and identifiable uses of computing power. one is as above : leverage for already present intelligence. the other is as in the webstack : compensation for absent intelligence. [12:09]
mircea_popescu in economic terms, approach B is A LOT more resource thirsty. from a planning perspective, the world is undeniably going into a resource-scarce phase. [12:09]
mircea_popescu as such, it is conceivable that z-80 powered trb can actually drive into the ground 12nm process powered united-prbs. [12:10]
ascii_butugychag how's that ? [12:13]
ascii_butugychag i actually considered a parallel sov-z80 thing [12:13]

mircea_popescu well this discussion is too far removed from tactics to be readily wrappable into something that'd make any sort of sense at that level. [12:14]
ascii_butugychag do try ? [12:14]
mircea_popescu but the point remains that what I use computers for and what they use computers for are very much disjunct, and relevantly so : they require about two or maybe three degrees of magnitude more materiel. [12:14]
mircea_popescu soon enough they won't be able to afford to pay for computers. [12:15]
ascii_butugychag the ludicrous waste of the wasteful idiots is a thing [12:15]
ascii_butugychag but does not cancel bitcoin needing certain horsepower. [12:15]
mircea_popescu you have to appreciate tho : to them, it is not a waste. it's a raison d'etre and so fundamental its unwind would make life worth living. [12:15]
mircea_popescu indulge me with an example that's domestic for a moment. [12:15]
mircea_popescu then we get to the mining issue. [12:15]
mircea_popescu so : i am a rich land developer, i buy some land, develop housing. it's 16 lots, which are bought the same year by 16 couples. [12:16]
mircea_popescu five years later, the "water table" so to speak changes. like you know, it changed in the ukraine recently, or in moscow in 1988. [12:17]
mircea_popescu so sixteen husbands come back home one evening and explain to sixteen wives that honey : a) eating out is out of the question from now on. and b) you're going to wash your scarf by hand. and use it to make a diaper. and then wash it by hand. [12:18]
mircea_popescu and c) no, the electricity's not coming back. and no, i don't mean tonight. [12:18]

mircea_popescu now... fact of the matter is that most women to date have lived and thrived and been happy in the "horrible" situation described. [12:19]
mircea_popescu the other fact of the matter however is that most if not all of those 16 women don't even own a scarf that could be used as described. because they don't buy by THAT criteria. [12:19]
mircea_popescu their shitty plastic thing will be worn through on the 3rd pass. [12:19]
mircea_popescu so, to come to terms : the sv circus is already bordering on unable to maintain its presence. which is why "the cloud" and so forth. [12:20]
ascii_butugychag most folks who ever lived, happily lived and died within a few metres of the the ground. but fall out of just one airplane... [12:20]

mircea_popescu they won't be able to keep on supplying themselves with computers capable to make "fair" unicode. [12:20]

mircea_popescu and so... [12:21]
ascii_butugychag they recently switched to meat compilers [12:21]
mircea_popescu does this actually coallesce into a point or not yet ? [12:21]
ascii_butugychag well it calls to mind the 'death of the middle' thread [12:21]
ascii_butugychag there isn't really a collapse scenario where z80 remains [12:22]
mircea_popescu the middle died long ago. my idea is that one of the horns is headed for a major splat, and well... it likes to think there's not another horn. fortunately this is not so. [12:22]

mircea_popescu if she had to repay all her debts (and forget the financial angle - if she had to do all the work to count as educated at the level of education she perceives herself to occupy, manifest inability to think or even spell be damned) she'd simply figure "life is not worht living" and lie in a ditch to die. [12:35]
mircea_popescu and there is no special ft meade. we're the only special interest that exists. otherwise, ft meade still has to hire from the emoji, and it does. [12:35]
mircea_popescu as a result it ends up embarassed by charlotte manning or w/e that was. [12:35]
ascii_butugychag operational garbage gets 'embarrassed', yes, hires from emoji. -- but cryptographers ? [12:36]
ascii_butugychag silicon diddlers ? [12:37]
ascii_butugychag mno. [12:37]
mircea_popescu i'm unpersuaded. [12:37]
mircea_popescu for one thing, what you're proposing is patently NOT FAIR. [12:37]
ascii_butugychag wai wut [12:37]
mircea_popescu and as such, a subclass of "so just stop using the damned colored unicode bs". not gonna happen. [12:37]
mircea_popescu because if you can you must and because zero one infinity, and so therefore, life's not worth living. [12:37]
ascii_butugychag what i propose is that the cheap shed skin of the snake, is not the snake. [12:38]
mircea_popescu no government can ever be as complex as a snake. [12:38]
mircea_popescu the most it can achieve is dogvomit. [12:38]
mircea_popescu wherein there is some rudimentary sensation and motility as an aggregate. [12:38]
mircea_popescu (fuligo septica, the slime mold) [12:39]
ascii_butugychag as a whole - yes [12:42]
jurov mircea_popescu: i don't get the premise, you're able to grep gigabyte in 2s on z80? [12:42]
ascii_butugychag on N z80. [12:43]
mircea_popescu jurov no, the point is that what i need the things to do, they do well and i have space to spare (heck, i went for breakfast, figuring it'll take minutes. it would have been fine if it did). meanwhile what THEY need to do, the machines already can't cope with. [12:43]
mircea_popescu so there's a major differential, which colors the discussion. [12:43]
mircea_popescu ascii_butugychag> as a whole - yes <<< and as individuals, refer to http://qntra.net/2015/12/sound-money-everything-else-you-got/ [12:47]
assbot Sound Money > Everything Else You Got | Qntra ... ( http://bit.ly/1ZKqaEI ) [12:47]
jurov obv yes, you can run the job during breakfast, but bitcoin can't do it with blocks [12:47]
mircea_popescu jurov i wanted to detach the mining discussion from this discussion, because it is unrelated. [12:47]
mircea_popescu so detached : bitcoin mining still has to follow the rules. consequently, how much power goes into it in absolute terms is irrelevant. [12:48]
jurov so you say that since you don't need custom silicon, the problem does not exist? [12:48]
mircea_popescu the only thing that matters is the relative terms, ie, relative of total available. this makes the whole line moot, yes it'll be 50%+1 in all worlds, whether powered by pen on paper or star-sized megacomps. [12:48]

jurov i was talking about blocks/transaction verification, not mining either [12:49]
ascii_butugychag fact is, you can't z80-mine on a planet with asic miners, etc [12:50]
jurov even without it, can z80 verify block in 10mins at all? [12:50]
mircea_popescu yes, but this doesn't matter : on a planet with z80s you can mine with z80s, and on a planet with asics the asics that mine STILL have to mine. [12:51]
mircea_popescu so they'll be 1hr blocks, what difference does it make ? [12:51]
ascii_butugychag did martians land and confiscate the asics while i slept ? [12:51]
jurov ^ [12:51]
mircea_popescu not afaik. [12:52]
jurov the scenario "we will plod on z80 with 1 block/hr" calls for all of the existing hw to become suddenly unsuitable for mining [12:53]
jurov mircea_popescu: you predict this will be the case? [12:53]
mircea_popescu this is not what's being discussed. [12:53]
mircea_popescu but anyway : if it gets so bad that no further chips can in fact be manufactured at some point, then yes over time existing hw will become unusable. maybe a few decades tops. [12:54]
assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 41688 @ 0.00051957 = 21.6598 BTC [-] [12:55]
mircea_popescu the point however is not this. the point is that... hm, how should it put it so it clicks. looky here : usgavin and his merry cattle troop were not ranting about moore's law for no cause, early on. they represent not some people, not some institutions, but some beliefs and a way of life. a culture. [12:55]
mircea_popescu that culture depends on, and knows it depends on, a specific sort of infalted delivery of hardware. [12:55]
mircea_popescu that i crushed them like worms last year doesn't JUST mean i now have gavin's head and yet another painful humiliation inflicted upon usg's asshole. [12:55]
mircea_popescu it means a lot more than that. this fork will come stab them in the eye again and again AND AGAIN. [12:56]
mircea_popescu no more moore's law means no colored unicode emoji just like it means no "big blocks" [12:56]
ascii_butugychag in '90s folks predicted death of microshit for same reason. [12:56]
ascii_butugychag still waiting. [12:56]
mircea_popescu that microshit did die, notably. [12:57]
mircea_popescu much like walmart died and became the dept of ebt. [12:57]
mircea_popescu but yes : the policy of socialist government is to keep rolling up its failures. until it hits a hard limit. [12:57]
ascii_butugychag i would like, possibly more than most, to live in z80 planet. [12:57]
mircea_popescu this thing we're discussing here is such a hard limit. [12:57]
jurov what thing? [12:57]
ascii_butugychag but it won't come back, any more than piston engined fighter airplane [12:57]
mircea_popescu the point, mind you, isn't even a "z80" planet. and yes i think that extremely unlikely. [12:58]
mircea_popescu the point is that we need computing power to increase logarithmically and they need computing power to increase exponentially. [12:58]
mircea_popescu this difference has already chosen winners and losers. [12:58]
mircea_popescu i can do the grepping i do on computers as they are. and if they'll be twice as fast i won't notice. like i've not noticed any improvement since the 90s. [12:59]
mircea_popescu THEY however, with their needs to compensate for absent intelligence through the deployment of computing hardware, DO need the shit to "improve". [12:59]
ascii_butugychag yes, at some point they will have to stop using progressively-dumber 'coderz' [13:00]
ascii_butugychag but what of it [13:01]
mircea_popescu this is not an available option. [13:01]
mircea_popescu the coderz are getting progressively dumber as an unavoidable necessity. [13:01]
mircea_popescu you're saying "at some point they'll have to stop marrying progressively more annoying lazy bitches" [13:01]
mircea_popescu this is not something they can do. [13:01]
mircea_popescu for as long as you're committed to not beating the woman, the necessary result is a vicious circle of ever more annoying, lazy bitches. [13:02]
ascii_butugychag already they began the 'deskilling' [13:02]
ascii_butugychag (replacing machine operations with meat) [13:02]
mircea_popescu won't hold. [13:02]
ascii_butugychag java, for instance, was a major step in this direction [13:02]
ascii_butugychag as was the www shitstack [13:03]
mircea_popescu meat is notoriously NOT exponentialable. [13:03]
mircea_popescu so this is a retreat not any sort of step forward. [13:03]
ascii_butugychag but can be linearly stacked. [13:03]
mircea_popescu linear doesn't help here. [13:03]
mircea_popescu what the "democratic" socialism needs is exponential. hence its love of "science". [13:03]
ascii_butugychag i don't see why it needs exponential [13:04]
mircea_popescu you recall my explanation as to why any socialism is always and necessarilyt going to be unsatisfactory to the ruled mass ? [13:04]
ascii_butugychag because -ev ? [13:04]
mircea_popescu nope. [13:04]
ascii_butugychag hm [13:05]
ascii_butugychag then why [13:05]
mircea_popescu there are two items here. item I : http://trilema.com/2013/the-sops-or-what-might-you-expect-from-government-clerks/#selection-61.0-65.800 [13:07]
assbot The SOPS, or what might you expect from government clerks on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1mvbDyS ) [13:07]
mircea_popescu item ii : for very good evolutionary reasons, a geometric increase in stimulus is required for a mere linear increase in sensation. [13:08]
mircea_popescu these two work together to produce a very unhappy populace even in the ideal case socialism. [13:08]
ascii_butugychag mega-paste btw [13:08]
mircea_popescu heh. [13:09]
ascii_butugychag the specimen is typical ? [13:10]
mircea_popescu of her class, yes. [13:11]
mircea_popescu this is what "civilisation" misunderstood as no beatings and overgenerous welfare (such as school loans, and such as alimony, and so on) has created. [13:11]
ascii_butugychag did it create it, or just pipe it to where you can smell it ?? [13:13]
mircea_popescu i'm satisfied that it created it. [13:13]
mircea_popescu the marked similarities with the legal notion and cultural mores of the decaying roman empire, and the strict disjunction from the legal notions and cultural mores of the flourishing roman early republic, or the other republics avaialble gives the story away. [13:14]
mircea_popescu this is the situation of proletarians moved into kulak dwellings, heating themselves with the imported french furniture. [13:14]

[13:25]
mircea_popescu pasted material being point in case, the woman "just knows" that i'm not attractive, notwithstanding that i'm willing to bet that's the most popular profile on the entire site, and what the fuck would she know about what gets teeny sluts hot anyway ?! [13:26]
mircea_popescu not like she's fucking any. [13:26]

mircea_popescu i have no doubt that yes, if we wish for her heavily indebted persona to be evenr marginally sustainable then yeah, i OUGHT to be unattractive etc. [13:27]

copypaste also, mircea_popescu, if i may ask you what you think of the end of the Merchant of Venice, in this article http://trilema.com/the-most-serene-republic-and-its-laws you quote a good portion of it, but skip the end of the proceedings where the out of town lawyer is invited in and (nonsensically, in a deus ex machina way, in my opinion) determines that blood is not part of one's flesh and therefore the [13:37]
assbot The Most Serene Republic, and its laws. on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1PG4vJb ) [13:37]
copypaste contract is unenforceable and goes on to seize all of the merchant's money or however it goes [13:37]
copypaste i just found it odd how you skipped the end is all [13:37]
mircea_popescu copypaste i think it's nonsensical pandering and not really worth the mention. [13:38]
copypaste so we're in agreement then, even Shakespeare, one of the so called greats, pandered often in his plays for "widespread appeal" [13:38]
mircea_popescu guy had to do a travesti because that's what a comedy was at the time. the situation of true romance is very similar : compare tarantino's own cut with the bullshit the studio released. [13:38]
copypaste good to know, thank you [13:38]
mircea_popescu shakespeare is difficult to match in many ways, chief among which his inclination to pander. [13:39]
copypaste hehehe [13:39]
mircea_popescu he's an utter slut. i don't believe this detracts. [13:39]
copypaste oh no, up until that point it was an excellent metaphor, i understand why you left it where you did [13:39]
ascii_butugychag meanwhile... 'Spurious check failures happen for machines without ECC memory. Of our test systems, all machines with Intel CPUs as well as some AMD low-end systems lack ECC. This is a result of that AMD supports ECC generally while Intel only supports ECC for Xeon CPUs relying on more expensive motherboards. But the GMP project is struggling to afford even the cheapest hardware.' [13:40]
ascii_butugychag and: 'We recently added testing with clang, which resulted in lots of new failures. These are not caused by GMP bugs, but rather by clang bugs, or on some case by compatibility problems between GCC and clang (the latter claims to be GCC and thereby is assumed to be compatible). It is in most cases not possible for the GMP team to resolve this situation. For now, avoid clang if you care about correctness.' [13:40]

copypaste clang claims to be gcc? the things people do for "compatibility" [13:43]
ascii_butugychag copypaste: apple ships boxes where gcc is symlinked to clang [13:43]
ascii_butugychag afaik nowhere else. [13:43]

phf in "social media" the mechanism of mediation is entirely controlled by platform owners. nothing even remotely similar could be produced on top of facebook, because it would get snuffed in its infancy, with undesirable behaviors eliminated through technical or policy changes. [20:09]

asciilifeform not uploaded yet [22:20]
asciilifeform because i did not have this problem before ! [22:20]
asciilifeform gpg won't allow the key to be signed again, either, because 'was already signed' [22:20]
asciilifeform i would like to personally shit on the grave of the author. [22:21]

BingoBoingo Seriously though, seems like time to stock up on 5 gallon buckets and ass to bucket adapter to have shit ready for when graves happen. [22:29]
asciilifeform subkeys are pure, unadulterated retardation [22:30]
asciilifeform (see, e.g., http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=24-09-2015#1284618 ) [22:30]
assbot Logged on 24-09-2015 06:18:08; mircea_popescu: mircea_popescu: one example of something which Must Die is 'subkeys' << absolutely. i have no fucking idea what chickenbrain thought that's a thing. "o hey, you know what this chevy is made out of ? chevys! because they didn;'t get me that lego set when i was nine and now im fucked in the head." [22:30]
asciilifeform and other threadz [22:30]
kakobrekla didnt a few ba folks write gpg tutorials including subkey handling not 2 years ago [22:32]
asciilifeform possibly [22:36]
asciilifeform but everybody (with the apparent sole exception of asciilifeform) is doing the whole 'no expire date' thing [22:36]
BingoBoingo I don't think I covered any thing about the subkeys in mine. One of the things passed around before that LOVED subkeys. [22:36]
BingoBoingo A subkey for every device that might be captured it advocated [22:36]
kakobrekla asciilifeform that or get kicked out of mpex [22:37]
asciilifeform subkey is one of those things that could be a useful idea IF IT WORKED and WERE NOT IMPLEMENTED BY IDIOT [22:37]
asciilifeform kakobrekla: my understanding was that mpex users kept a separate, unpublished pubkey just for it [22:37]
kakobrekla some perhaps do. [22:38]
mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-01-2016#1360407 << it's... not on FB. or on "Telegram". i'm feeling all babbage-like over here. [22:38]
assbot Logged on 04-01-2016 21:58:41; Tomiii: so what are the main technical differences between this room, and an invite-ony group-chat on FB, Telegram, etc? [22:38]
asciilifeform my main objection to subkey as implemented in gpg is that IT DOES NOT TELL YOU OR EVEN LET YOU CHOOSE with which modulus (i.e. which sub) it actually signs with ! [22:38]
asciilifeform anyone recall how mircea_popescu spewed chunks when i pointed out that he's been signing with a subkey and not with the magical modulus ? [22:39]
asciilifeform (the one on the tits) [22:39]
mircea_popescu "subkey" belongs exactly in the same pile "expiration date" belongs in [22:39]
mircea_popescu they're "your picture" [22:39]
asciilifeform it will all go to same pyre. [22:39]
assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 36849 @ 0.00051089 = 18.8258 BTC [-] {2} [22:39]
asciilifeform but presently it is plugged in and quite annoying [22:40]
mircea_popescu but yes - i would have loved to be a bff of gpg. instead we're just best enemies. [22:40]
assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 12289 @ 0.00050524 = 6.2089 BTC [-] {3} [22:40]
asciilifeform the sin, it turns out, was a mortal one, and there from the very beginning: [22:40]
asciilifeform it is in the attempt to divorce the abstraction of what the user is doing from the actual rsa (moduli) [22:41]
mircea_popescu go on ? [22:41]
asciilifeform http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=05-01-2016#1360580 [22:41]
assbot Logged on 05-01-2016 01:37:32; asciilifeform: my main objection to subkey as implemented in gpg is that IT DOES NOT TELL YOU OR EVEN LET YOU CHOOSE with which modulus (i.e. which sub) it actually signs with ! [22:41]
asciilifeform sorta like the lack of coin control in bitcoin [22:41]
asciilifeform (the idiot 'wallet' abstraction) [22:41]
asciilifeform same exact idiocy [22:42]
mircea_popescu so basically "trying to be a service". [22:42]
mircea_popescu fucking brain rot. all these brogrammers have nfi what the point of programming computers even is. [22:42]
asciilifeform 'have nfi what the point' would be an ~improvement~ [22:43]
asciilifeform instead they have a maximally perverse idea [22:43]
asciilifeform 'make this usable by monkey' [22:43]
asciilifeform but you cannot make even bulldozer 'usable by monkey', much less pgptron [22:43]
asciilifeform instead you only end up with monkey who is a danger to self and others. [22:43]
kakobrekla and a crappy bulldozer [22:44]
mircea_popescu myeah. [22:44]
mircea_popescu as phf ironically points out. [22:44]
* mircea_popescu is somewhat surprised at how in the log, the deep understanding comes from the newb! [22:45]
asciilifeform the other interesting part is that IT LIES [22:45]
asciilifeform e.g., the foo bar example, [22:45]
asciilifeform 'Key ID - 0xB98228A001ABFFC7' [22:45]
asciilifeform but looks like the actual rsa op was carried out WITH THE SUBKEY [22:46]
asciilifeform how this was ever tolerated ? [22:46]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform this is a longstanding bit of C"S" idiocy. somehow the idea of a "painless" subsystem is "a subsystem that lies about being in pain". if organs worked like that we'd be all dead. [22:46]
asciilifeform this is a classic case of what mircea_popescu spoke of in the earlier thread - 'illicitly uses thing outside of itself' [22:46]
asciilifeform obligatory crackpottery, http://www.loper-os.org/?p=278 [22:47]
assbot Loper OS » Seventh Law of Sane Personal Computing ... ( http://bit.ly/1RnpCSn ) [22:48]
asciilifeform 'The machine shall never tell a lie to the operator.' [22:48]
asciilifeform SHALL NEVER TELL A MOTHERFUCKING LIE to operator !11111 [22:48]
mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=04-01-2016#1360438 << the more important difference is re : identity. the POINT of social media is to make it possible for entities devoid of identity to seemingly communicate. the point of b-a is to make it fucking impossible for entities devoid of identity to pretend they're communicating. [22:48]
assbot Logged on 04-01-2016 23:08:28; phf: in "social media" the mechanism of mediation is entirely controlled by platform owners. nothing even remotely similar could be produced on top of facebook, because it would get snuffed in its infancy, with undesirable behaviors eliminated through technical or policy changes. [22:48]
mircea_popescu the former paradigm works well for people without identity. the latter is ideal for people with. [22:48]
asciilifeform !s dead souls [22:49]
assbot 17 results for 'dead souls' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=dead+souls [22:49]
mircea_popescu neatly mirroring the dichotomy discussed earlier today, about the group that is trying to use computers to compensate by its members outright lack of intelligence, vs the group that is tryi9ng to use computers to leverage the already present intelligence of its members. [22:49]
mircea_popescu !gettrust Tomiii [22:49]
assbot Tomiii is not registered in WoT. [22:49]
mircea_popescu go fix that noob. [22:49]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform you will note, re "lying", that in my extensive experience 90% of beatings that ever get administered do get administered to a crying, repentful slave that does not believe she was lying. [22:50]
mircea_popescu it is exceedingly difficult to not lie if bereft of sane priors. [22:51]
mircea_popescu no, that doesn't make lying not lying, but it does make the problem of not lying as an idiot intractable. [22:51]
asciilifeform actually it is difficult for machine to lie without having been constructed with malice [22:51]
mircea_popescu or stupidity. [22:51]
mircea_popescu stupidity is an exceptional proxy for malice. [22:51]
asciilifeform normally there is not much space between 'white noise' and 'works' [22:51]
mircea_popescu the problem is that complex systems are not obviously normal-izable. [22:52]
mircea_popescu hence fractals. [22:52]
asciilifeform at any rate, my axiom specifically concerned deliberate untruths [22:52]
asciilifeform (as in, intended by the builder) [22:52]
mircea_popescu your definition of deliberateness is weak. [22:52]
asciilifeform e.g., 'hidden files' in winblowz, etc [22:53]
mircea_popescu nope. all programs hide the heap. why does that not qualify ? [22:53]
mircea_popescu (ftr that's the fucking definition of the heap : program's own notebook, that it doesn't show you) [22:54]
kakobrekla unix has same [22:54]
asciilifeform and your gurlz hide their guts [22:54]
mircea_popescu quite. [22:54]
mircea_popescu you know the first strip tease story ? [22:54]
asciilifeform hm? [22:55]
mircea_popescu bored eastern ruler, is presented with novel entertainment. girl comes and slowly strips to music. [22:55]
mircea_popescu once she's buck naked the music stops and teh guy inquires why the fuck she stopped ? he was having fun! [22:55]
mircea_popescu so she's skinned alive. [22:55]
asciilifeform reads like a variant of 'i drill my own holez!1111' [22:56]
mircea_popescu well... "hiding", you know ? whassat. [22:56]
asciilifeform where was it... in koran ??? that had the reminder of 'woman is merely a vessel of guts!111' [22:57]
mircea_popescu i just burn 'em, i dun read 'em. [22:58]
asciilifeform at any rate, the problem is never abstraction as such, but leaking abstraction. [22:58]
asciilifeform as in, woman which has no back side and you put your arms around, and out come the viscera [22:58]
mircea_popescu aha. [22:59]
