hanbot | mircea_popescu well at least those marriages could be dissolved with this guy's plan. walk her up to some chicks, "listen, i know this is weird, but this woman won't leave me alone. would you stay with me a while so she'll maybe leave?" | [00:01] |

ben_vulpes | funny, i was just having a conversation with ladybird about how "teh h0rr0r" of the holocaust (mostly concentration camps) is the entirety of what americans are taught about wwii and hitler and de and politics of the time generally. another instance of "stealing the having been stolen from". | [00:37] |

mircea_popescu | a | [00:40] |
asciilifeform | ben_vulpes looked surprised also, l0l | [00:40] |
mircea_popescu | i have no idea how the russkis imagine "great wall" works on people who follow torrents | [00:41] |
mircea_popescu | i mean, the peasantariat of china, ok. | [00:41] |
mircea_popescu | it hinders the least effort, bs approach of the ustarded "media", ok | [00:41] |
asciilifeform | it works on moo | [00:41] |
mircea_popescu | but how's this supposed to work. | [00:41] |
mircea_popescu | well moo's not on trackers | [00:41] |
asciilifeform | 'omg111111 allthetorrentsareinoneplace.com is down!!111' | [00:41] |
mircea_popescu | you know, the one red thread here is, a certain mental pattern of the imbecile. "hearn spoke TO BANKS" says the idiot who, after asking two awkward hermit females and a distant relative, gladly reports "i asked WOMEN". | [00:42] |
mircea_popescu | so then "this is the website of torrents!" | [00:42] |
mircea_popescu | because hey, "this is place of work" and "this is paycheck" and "this is life" | [00:43] |
mircea_popescu | he's the same sort of idiot who parks in the nuclear core twice, ~~~discovers~~~ "nothing happened" and announces there's a conspiracy re nuclear cores to make proles believe they're bad for you when really NOTHNING HAPPENS | [00:44] |
mircea_popescu | he's tried twice! | [00:44] |
mircea_popescu | makes me think of the argentines a lot. this very speciffic "wool pulled deeply over eyes" going through things. | [00:45] |
asciilifeform | 1,2,3,maxint | [00:45] |
mircea_popescu | pretty much. a deeply seated, apparently deliberate but certainly defiant opposition to data integrity. | [00:45] |
mircea_popescu | the meaningless-er the better-er! | [00:45] |
asciilifeform | anyway the situation with ru torrent bans, prosecutions of the great b00kw4r3z libraries (yes) etc. is that the copyrasts latched onto putin's 'dictatorship of the law' thing of the past decade to try to have their 'rights' | [00:46] |
asciilifeform | which, unknown to most western folks, include outrages like privatization of classic sov. works incl. children's items which are still ubiquitous, etc | [00:46] |
asciilifeform | and the public at large is largely laughing its collective arse off | [00:47] |
mircea_popescu | not so smart. | [00:47] |
asciilifeform | can't fault their logic though - if privatization of the rest of the shebang (from petro to fish) slid by without mass guillotinings, why not this. | [00:48] |
asciilifeform | and given as the thread holding these folks together is the particular odd notion that books, films, are entirely like petro & fish - unsurprising | [00:49] |

asciilifeform | in other 'news', sov era 2kB EPROMs have been regularly selling for 5 bux or so each. SOMEBODY's buying. | [01:04] |

ben_vulpes | today i learned that one can else in a for in python | [02:38] |
ben_vulpes | what the shit | [02:38] |
phf | it's a pretty useful behavior | [02:40] |
ben_vulpes | oh i get it now. | [02:41] |
phf | like for example, for stuff in things: if right(stuff): break; else: error("can't get the right stuff") | [02:42] |
ben_vulpes | but that's inside out! | [02:43] |
phf | i think typical refactoring done elsewhere is to put the whole for loop into a small function, replace break with return and then assume that any escape out of loop is an error | [02:43] |
phf | or rather an escape out of loop means that nothing was found and the alternative should be taken | [02:44] |
phf | otherwise you need to do foo=NULL; for(...) {...}; if(!foo) { ... } | [02:46] |
ben_vulpes | looks like ad hoc implementation of common use cases with arbitrary language features to me, but i've also spent a bit of time with the loop macro lately | [02:46] |
phf | but then you potential run into sentinel issue | [02:46] |
ben_vulpes | i just discovered named loops and returning from inner loops to arbitrary outer loops and am just startled at this particular codification of the pattern. | [02:48] |
ben_vulpes | it's an interesting gem demonstrating how the design of a language determines how people think about solving problems in it. | [02:48] |
ben_vulpes | related: mod6 and asciilifeform's v implementations. | [02:49] |
phf | named loops in common lisp? i don't actually know the feature | [02:53] |
phf | but speaking of v.pl, lines 92-102, is precisely that pattern | [02:53] |
ben_vulpes | yeah, using variables. | [02:54] |
ben_vulpes | the else thing just threw me. | [02:54] |
ben_vulpes | (loop named foo ... (loop named bar ... (return-from foo thinger)) | [02:55] |
phf | in fact in v's case $verified serves no other purpose, but to do the whole for:else: | [02:57] |
ben_vulpes | exactly. | [02:57] |
phf | oh yeah, re lisp, i've not had a chance to use it, but i'm pretty sure i have a bunch of code that does (loop .. do (catch :foo ... (loop ... (throw :foo ...))) | [02:59] |
assbot | [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 9807 @ 0.00054864 = 5.3805 BTC [-] {2} | [02:59] |
phf | probably can be cleaned up, but where's that catch being interpolated when you do (loop named foo...) | [02:59] |
ben_vulpes | interpolated? | [02:59] |
phf | placed in the form that's the result of macro expansion of loop | [03:00] |
phf | oh, it's placed around, so (loop named foo ...) == (block foo (loop ...)) | [03:01] |
phf | ok, on this incoherent note, i'm going to sleep | [03:03] |
ben_vulpes | ah, blocks under the hood | [03:04] |
ben_vulpes | i've not touched blocks yet. | [03:04] |
phf | ben_vulpes: yeah, you can do macroexpand on loop to see what's going on underneath, though it's probably least readable macroexpansion | [03:04] |

asciilifeform | forfuckssake | [19:26] |
mircea_popescu | ie, there, "it's not the job of the state to protect the cultural patrimony OF INDIVIDUALS and their clans ; if those individuals and clans are so degenerate, bankrupt and chlorotioc as to no longer be able to protect their heritage, let the worms havce it. no, not even for comunist metaphisics ; no, the property of x isn't "ours", no x's history isn't "ours". let them uphold it or let it die. | [19:27] |
mircea_popescu | same exact fucking thing with the books : they belong to a defeated people. | [19:27] |
mircea_popescu | either retel the | [19:27] |
mircea_popescu | either retell the books you care about or let them die. | [19:28] |
phf | après nous le déluge | [19:30] |
mircea_popescu | no. | [19:30] |
mircea_popescu | they lost. i didn't tell them to lose. they did it all on their own. | [19:30] |
mircea_popescu | unless they come back out from the graves and make books matter again, they get burried with them. | [19:30] |
mircea_popescu | i'm not scanning fucking accra idols, either. i piss on them instead. they make fine urinals, for a very good reason. | [19:31] |
asciilifeform | mircea_popescu sees no difference between, e.g., galois algebra, and an idiot idol ? | [19:31] |
mircea_popescu | is it in a book ? | [19:31] |
mircea_popescu | if it's in the logs it gets to live. | [19:31] |
mircea_popescu | if it's not in the log, the difference is not there. | [19:31] |
asciilifeform | it isn't in the log until it is. | [19:32] |
mircea_popescu | so put it in there. but mind what i said : RETELL. | [19:32] |
mircea_popescu | this is important. the defeated tribe does not get to live on through "scanning". | [19:32] |
asciilifeform | i can retell galois or i can $work. | [19:32] |
mircea_popescu | they get culturally absorbed. the price is complete and total loss of identity. | [19:32] |
mircea_popescu | like women marry. no rights for the people of books. | [19:32] |
asciilifeform | btw ru did this when it swallowed europe's maths & eng. | [19:33] |
mircea_popescu | right ? | [19:33] |
mircea_popescu | and look how well it worked. | [19:33] |
mircea_popescu | meanwhile, "america" (the ideal construct, that never really existed) SCANNED the fucking europe books. | [19:33] |
asciilifeform | mircea_popescu, i betcha you learned 'ostrogradsky's' and not 'gauss's' theorem. | [19:33] |
mircea_popescu | look where it's now. | [19:33] |
mircea_popescu | asciilifeform no, it was gauss'. the romanians sat omn the sidelines poking fun at the russians. | [19:33] |
asciilifeform | then only because of this. | [19:33] |
mircea_popescu | yea. | [19:34] |
mircea_popescu | kinda why/how that "ustards keep rebranding things" article came about. the comment in the house of mp was "check these idiots out, like the second coming of some castrated soviets" | [19:34] |
funkenstein_ | hardcopy can survive a generation of nobody giving a shit. | [19:44] |
mircea_popescu | it can't survive this. | [19:45] |
mircea_popescu | it is culturally irrelevant now, because i expect my text searchable and my lines logged and indexed and so forth. | [19:45] |
mircea_popescu | there's no way for books to compete with the log. | [19:45] |
funkenstein_ | as long as there are people of means archiving the log, i agree | [19:46] |
mircea_popescu | this is not a valid precondition | [19:46] |
mircea_popescu | as it's the precondition to culture in general. | [19:46] |
mircea_popescu | if there aren't, books aren't gonna MAKE THEM | [19:46] |
asciilifeform | [19:46] | |
mircea_popescu | the us experience again is informative. | [19:46] |
funkenstein_ | look at e.g. greek classics.. would be lost without hard copies in arabic | [19:47] |
asciilifeform | i personally picked up too many of these to list. and they will live for at least as long as i do. | [19:47] |
mircea_popescu | asciilifeform ill be sure to recall this if we dispute computers in the future :) | [19:47] |
mircea_popescu | funkenstein_ they ARE lost. | [19:47] |
funkenstein_ | ouch | [19:47] |
asciilifeform | i dug balanced ternary system out of FUCKING BOOKZ | [19:47] |
asciilifeform | and could have otherwise spent my whole life rediscovering it | [19:48] |
mircea_popescu | good for you, asciilifeform | [19:48] |
mircea_popescu | good for YOU. | [19:48] |
asciilifeform | so this is all batshit. if i need islam i know where to find it | [19:48] |
mircea_popescu | i dug whatever, the giving tree out of a book too. | [19:48] |
mircea_popescu | it sucked as i found it. | [19:48] |
mircea_popescu | and im not linking to the book. because, elementary, can't. because IT is fucking islam. | [19:49] |
mircea_popescu | (i lie, i never read the actual book, it was online or it wouldn't have existed.) | [19:50] |
phf | is the idea that ascii can read book, or whatever, can even give me copy to read, or whatever, but ultimately there's not going to be library of b-a, because only relevant knowledge is whatever ascii or i (in this example) say in the logs, how we got there is our own business? | [19:51] |
mircea_popescu | pretty much. | [19:51] |
mircea_popescu | to put it another way, if you think the SCANNING is time consuming you have nfi. | [19:52] |
phf | right | [19:52] |
asciilifeform | the translation, reading, GROKKING, etc. are very time consuming. i expect to spend most of my life on it. | [19:52] |
asciilifeform | but none of it can happen without the scanz! | [19:52] |
mircea_popescu | i expect you to be happy that your life ends before it. | [19:53] |
mircea_popescu | because... srsly, think about it. | [19:53] |
asciilifeform | not having to rederive, e.g., motherfucking group theory, is ~how we actually advance~. not because better classes of human were dropped down from the sky each generation, no. (quite opposite, afaik) | [19:56] |
jurov | yes, should we recreate everything out of orally handed first principles? | [19:57] |
mircea_popescu | not a matter of should. that's reallty all you got. | [19:57] |
mircea_popescu | not like anyone invented a substitute for actually re-derivign the whole group theory IN YOUR HEAD as part of "grokking" it. | [19:57] |
mircea_popescu | what barbarian apostasy is this, the talisman of book ? | [19:58] |
jurov | and burning the books helps how? | [19:58] |
asciilifeform | ^ | [19:58] |
mircea_popescu | i only burned a coupla! | [19:58] |
mircea_popescu | and also they were not very good. | [19:58] |
asciilifeform | mircea_popescu: talisman of the parachute. it's old, rat-eaten, and has ДОСААФ 1966 printed on it, but ~it's the one you're wearing~ while falling. and you can try to make a new one out of your underwear before you splat, or use that one. | [20:00] |
phf | well, it's very medieval idea (without the negative connotation) or reminiscent of samizdat culture. scans only come when someone asks for a scan, rather then the other way around, i.e. "archiving initiatives" | [20:00] |
mircea_popescu | do i look like i'm falling to you ? | [20:01] |
asciilifeform | no but only because 'i'm ok to ride a horse' | [20:01] |
mircea_popescu | what more could there be ? | [20:01] |
asciilifeform | i mean, this ~is~ a self-consistent thing. pashtun needs galois like a dog needs beets. | [20:02] |
mircea_popescu | do you need all the ars longa you don't currently have ? | [20:03] |
asciilifeform | but mircea_popescu for some reason is not moving to afghan, has not sold his computer, bought moar horse ? | [20:03] |
asciilifeform | actually yes | [20:03] |
mircea_popescu | aha. | [20:03] |
mircea_popescu | relax, alfie. you got plenty of time. | [20:03] |
asciilifeform | i'ma need electron beam lithography, for instance. | [20:03] |
asciilifeform | and possibly a bit of else. | [20:04] |
* | funkenstein_ once had pictures of dog eating beets. Sadly they were never put on paper so lost after a decade or so. | [20:04] |
asciilifeform | phf: at no point did i ever propose 'scan everything' | [20:05] |
asciilifeform | that'd be the braindamaged pack rat approach, and yes, it has adherents | [20:05] |
mircea_popescu | loot the tombs at your leisure. | [20:05] |
mircea_popescu | just for as long as you understand they're tombs. you don't belong there. | [20:06] |
asciilifeform | exactly what i was suggesting re: the scanz. | [20:06] |
mircea_popescu | what's that great quote... | [20:06] |
asciilifeform | and i think i might have once described how maths is to work should a sane computer ever be constructed | [20:07] |
asciilifeform | (as a demonstrable moving part of the edifice) | [20:07] |
asciilifeform | somewhere, in the logz | [20:07] |
mircea_popescu | "My companion drew in the dank, cold air of the Tomb. It seemed to... strengthen him. I stood in the doorway between Light and Dark. What was left of my sanity implored me not to enter. But that voice... was just a whisper now. As we worked our way down, deeper and deeper into the Crypt, I began to see a change in my companion. He seemed to be gaining strength. I could hardly see in the gloom, but my companion seemed t | [20:07] |
mircea_popescu | o know the way. We came at last to a great hall... It was then I realized my companion hadn't been gaining strength. He had been losing what was left of his humanity." | [20:07] |
mircea_popescu | damn the dumbass "humanity" all to hell. | [20:08] |
* | mircea_popescu , perfectly willing to wipe books altogether to get rid of rousseau & friendz. | [20:08] |
mircea_popescu | or in other words, books, much like plutonium, are liable to make your stupid and your offspring monstruous. handle with care. | [20:10] |
asciilifeform | does mircea_popescu have anti-rousseau spray to apply to prevent relapse ? | [20:11] |
mircea_popescu | mno. | [20:11] |
mircea_popescu | i read somewhere it can't be had. | [20:11] |
asciilifeform | this also is sorta what the books are for. | [20:11] |
mircea_popescu | mno. | [20:12] |
mircea_popescu | not unless you mean "cancer is also what people are for" | [20:12] |
* | hazirafel has quit (Remote host closed the connection) | [20:14] |
phf | asciilifeform: right, i'm not arguing your original statement, just trying to understand this part of thread. if i wanted to grok electrodynamics, can get scan, or easier to just walk to friend and get landau of the shelf. doesn't matter that he has millions of other books, or that there's an archive of book scans somewhere. mp's point seems to be that the activity should be treated as tomb raiding either way, rather then "i have a | [20:14] |
phf | library, therefore" | [20:14] |
asciilifeform | phf: everybody and his mother has a copy of landau | [20:14] |
asciilifeform | but many of my own explorations are powered by relatively obscure works | [20:14] |
mircea_popescu | i just don't want the easy mistake be made where the stupidity of the children of books today is ascribed to non-bookdom. | [20:14] |
mircea_popescu | it is UPON THE BOOKS. they, chiefly, mostly, did this. | [20:15] |
asciilifeform | mircea_popescu: 3 y.o. finds an uzi, sprays. not the machine's fault | [20:15] |
asciilifeform | it's an excellent leadthrower | [20:15] |
asciilifeform | the other thing is that, at least from my perch, nowhere are there symptoms that the folks pushing rousseauism actually read the bloody book | [20:17] |
asciilifeform | idiots are perfectly able to propagate their cults without the verbatim text | [20:17] |

asciilifeform | how does it remove ? | [21:10] |
mircea_popescu | and NO, idiots are not able to propagate anything without the printing press. which is why prior to it there were 5000 different idiocies summing to 0 and ever since tyhen we've been deluged in organised imbecillity. | [21:10] |

asciilifeform | punkman: what's this | [22:20] |
punkman | asciilifeform: which | [22:20] |
asciilifeform | lullaby | [22:21] |
punkman | from greek version of Federico García Lorca's Bodas de Sangre | [22:22] |
asciilifeform | ah | [22:22] |

ben_vulpes | hola | [22:30] |
* | asciilifeform observed an interesting effect. have two very similar pairs of cheapo headphones, but one emits strange scratchy sounds, other does not. then realized that it is the ~insulation on the cord~ that was at fault | [22:37] |
asciilifeform | one set had cloth fiber, to 'look retro' presumably | [22:37] |
asciilifeform | and it scratched on shirt, chair, etc. and vibration - propagates | [22:38] |
asciilifeform | the other, with the more ordinary smooth insulation does no such thing. | [22:38] |
punkman | sounds like the wire is damaged, not the insulation | [22:39] |
asciilifeform | brand new. | [22:40] |
kakobrekla | yeah cable microphonics are annoying as fuck. | [22:40] |
asciilifeform | nono | [22:40] |
asciilifeform | this is WITHOUT ANY CURRENT | [22:40] |
asciilifeform | as in, 100% mechanical | [22:40] |
kakobrekla | yeah. | [22:40] |

punkman | without current, like cans and string? | [22:41] |
asciilifeform | aha | [22:41] |
asciilifeform | precisely | [22:41] |
punkman | oic | [22:41] |
punkman | never seen this | [22:41] |
kakobrekla | prolly most headphones do this. | [22:42] |
asciilifeform | mno | [22:43] |
asciilifeform | only this set with the cloth cable. | [22:43] |
kakobrekla | most headphones have shitty cable. | [22:43] |
asciilifeform | not in this particular way. | [22:43] |
kakobrekla | superlux do this as well. | [22:44] |
kakobrekla | put them on, unplugged, move the cable, hear noise. | [22:44] |

asciilifeform | and not one did this. | [22:46] |
kakobrekla | very lucky. | [22:46] |
asciilifeform | l0l | [22:46] |
punkman | question is, does nobody test the things before making a full factory run | [22:48] |
asciilifeform | turns out not | [22:48] |
asciilifeform | OR, more interestingly, yes, and it doesn't matter | [22:48] |
asciilifeform | they laugh all the way to the bank | [22:48] |
asciilifeform | the cloth on the cable is a classic 'fuffle' | [22:49] |
