mircea_popescu just about. [05:07]
mircea_popescu if you go through the insanities they [used to] drop on the forum, the way unemployed/unemployable css derp sees the matter is, "he put 1000 hours worth 100 dollars each into the thing that is not really worth anything. so how about the users split the damage ?" [05:08]
mircea_popescu that his hours aren't worth anything isn't a point he's well inclined to grasp under torture, let alone figure out on his own. [05:09]
mircea_popescu that the site isn't worth anything FOR THAT REASON idem. [05:09]

mircea_popescu nubbins` i happen to agree, fwiwi. [13:40]
mircea_popescu ahahaha. so that makes three of us, like supermajority of those that got it ? [13:40]
nubbins` while i reserve the term "elegance" for things much, much simpler in execution than the flaming turdball of code, it completely applies to Bitcooin as a concept [13:41]
mircea_popescu well, let me put it this way : [13:42]
mircea_popescu you write a play, and this company wants to do it. they're an odd couple really, not much of a staging company. he's on three different mental meds, she's a crack whore. they make the scenery out of chewed up used tissue. [13:43]
mircea_popescu now, if your play manages to shine through all that and bring down the house [13:43]
nubbins` what a play it must be! [13:43]
mircea_popescu i'm calling it elegant. because fuck you, i'm a dragon and im out of words. [13:43]
ascii_field mircea_popescu: it's rather reminiscent of the first h-bomb. the one that needed a dedicated building with h2 liquifaction cryoplant [13:44]
nubbins` no joke, in my cubicle life, the christmas social/dinner/dance was called (i'm really not making this up) an ELEGANZA. [13:44]
mircea_popescu ahahaha. buncha octogenarian canadians! [13:44]
ascii_field it is interesting to contemplate what 'cold war' would have looked like if the portable variant had never been built [13:44]
mircea_popescu ascii_field yup [13:44]
ascii_field where h-bomb is either a fat ship or stationary on land [13:44]
nubbins` stationary ones much less useful as offensive weapons [13:45]
mircea_popescu altho natural engineering has over software engineering this marked advantage, that the horse will throw you off, whereas epistula non erubescit. [13:45]
ascii_field nubbins`: not necessarily. can always build it in the enemy's capital, a bit at a time [13:45]
mircea_popescu ascii_field that only works in dreams. [13:45]
nubbins` worked for tiananmen square ;p [13:45]
nubbins` granted, that was a statue, not a compicated piece of machinery [13:46]

nubbins` lead-shielded diplo-pouches [13:46]
ascii_field (it is widely believed that us embassy in ru, and ru in us, contain nyookz) [13:46]
mircea_popescu it's not a matter of, couldn't, physically, be done. it's a matter of couldn't socially be done. [13:46]

mircea_popescu several fundamental things in [23:35]
mircea_popescu fundamentally different ways." [23:35]
mircea_popescu ^ check it out, it allowed them to mix text with display rules, because xml. [23:35]
asciilifeform obligatory naggumism: ''It is like going to a library full of books that took 50 man-years to produce each, inventing a way to cut down the costs to a few man-months per book by copying and randomly improving on other books, and then wondering why nobody thinks your library full of these cheaper books is an inspiration to future authors.''

mircea_popescu o.O [23:36]
mircea_popescu "Flare is based on XML. In dialects of LISP, both the program and the program data are represented as lists. In Flare, the program and program data, and ideally the program state, are all represented as well-formed XML. Because XML is annotative (additional sub-elements can be easily added to any parent element without destroying the structural integrity of existing data) and extensible (new sub-element types can be [23:37]
mircea_popescu easily created), these properties are shared by Flare objects and Flare programs." [23:37]
mircea_popescu this just broke my head. seriously ?! [23:37]
mircea_popescu in what complang is it the case that you can't add stuff to code ?! [23:38]
asciilifeform ^ the stuck-capslock 'LISP' is an almost foolproof leper's bell of folks whose knowledge of the subject comes from 1970s encyclopaedia article [23:38]
asciilifeform (no one who actually programs in any lisplike thing whatsoever, will ever write it out that way - the fingers simply won't do it) [23:39]
mircea_popescu how old was he when doing this flare thing ? [23:39]
mircea_popescu If the Flare interpreter knows that "human" is a class defined in the module "people", then it knows to expect that the tag "arms" refers to an instance member with numeric content. This is how the Flare interpreter knows that 2 means the number 2 and not the string "2". [23:39]
mircea_popescu ^ almost as painful to read as his fiction. [23:40]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: in the parlance of folks who actually program computers on occasion - 'blocks of code are a first-class object' is the claim. which is true for all lisp-family [23:40]
mircea_popescu is the above quote included in your "read all" ? [23:40]

asciilifeform mircea_popescu: last i saw this crap, it was a series of forum posts... [23:40]
* asciilifeform out of the loop for a good long spell [23:40]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform but the language is the message, here. guy's not writing down to anyone but himself. [23:40]
asciilifeform i don't even know that this brochure was crapped out by mr y himself [23:41]
mircea_popescu "Not written by Dmitriy Myshkin." [23:41]
mircea_popescu in any case, .ro space has a coupla of these, "artists" that wish to be philosophers/scientists. the result is endless lol fountain. [23:41]
asciilifeform in the spirit of mrs. ceausescu ? [23:42]
mircea_popescu nah, in the spirit of mr pecuchet [23:42]
mircea_popescu ceausescu was a shoemaker. [23:42]
asciilifeform thinking of the woman [23:44]
mircea_popescu ah. she was a common whore. [23:44]
mircea_popescu unlike argentina's, she wasn't pretty, either [23:44]
mircea_popescu (tho i don't find evita peron pretty, but hey) [23:44]
asciilifeform whore who walked around collecting 'honorary diplomas' in chemistry [23:44]
mircea_popescu point being, artist. [23:44]
asciilifeform while actual chemists cringed, bit tongues [23:45]
mircea_popescu i dunno if you know this sort - often comes out at the beach. tall, good looking kid, not a jock, has learned some poetry and gazes into the distance a lot. [23:45]
mircea_popescu sorta emo-precursor. [23:45]
decimation re: education < http://www.wired.com/2015/02/silicon-valley-home-schooling/ < apparently Thiel et.al. were educated in a Montessori school (which was a crazy idea invented by a random italian chick) to let kids decide for themselves "how to be schooled" [23:45]
assbot The Techies Who Are Hacking Education by Homeschooling Their Kids | WIRED ... ( http://bit.ly/1GWn4qs ) [23:45]
mircea_popescu very successful with a certain age range, mostly because well... the gals are itching for a trashing, but also kinda affraid it may hurt. [23:45]
asciilifeform decimation: iirc 'montessori' is done to very young, elementary grade pupils only [23:46]
mircea_popescu yeah, it's extended kindergarten [23:46]
mircea_popescu (dunno about yer lands, but that's exactly how kindergarten was done when i was 5ish) [23:46]
* NewLiberty has quit (Ping timeout: 265 seconds) [23:47]
decimation heh no they do high school now [23:47]
mircea_popescu nuts. [23:47]
mircea_popescu ok alf, I got it. here it is : [23:48]
mircea_popescu This whole conversation feels ham fisted, Hariezer is consistently telling us about all the manipulative tricks they are both using. Its less a conversation and more people who just sat through a shitty marketing seminar trying to try out what they learned. WITH RAPE. [23:48]
mircea_popescu [...] [23:48]
mircea_popescu I’m not sure why you’d use persuasion/marketing as a shiny metaphor for science, other than its the theme of this chapter. ”If you know science you can manipulate people as if you were literally in control of them” seems like a broad, and mostly untrue claim. [23:48]

assbot School of the Woods - Montessori - Established 1962 - preK thru 12 Education ... ( http://bit.ly/1GWnptc ) [23:48]
mircea_popescu so your theory'd be, fitting with the above, that this is what they called a "sensitive child" who is trying to assuage his existential vertigo by "taming" [pseudo]science to play the role of a sort of marketing ? [23:49]
asciilifeform approximately. [23:49]
mircea_popescu reads to me more like a cry for help. [23:50]
mircea_popescu "mommy look how fucking stupid i'm being, help me!" [23:50]
asciilifeform whatever it was a cry for, it werked - mr y has a rotating harem, a flat in san fran, and a phoundation to invoice for the lot - and i don't [23:51]
asciilifeform so yes, i l0l, but sc4mz0r sp4mz like a pr0 [23:51]
mircea_popescu what's a rotating harem ? [23:52]
asciilifeform the kind mircea_popescu has [23:53]
mircea_popescu wait. wut ? [23:53]
asciilifeform where younger gurlz rotated in, etc [23:53]
* asciilifeform not sure of the correct term of art [23:53]
mircea_popescu you're basically saying he's having a lot of sex ? [23:53]
asciilifeform sex he doesn't have to go shopping for [23:53]
* asciilifeform again not sure of the term of art [23:53]
mircea_popescu might be "dating" [23:54]
decimation re: "intelle;ctual property" < I spoke with a patent examiner once, she said that she often was 'paid a visit' by pharma/medical people who were under the mistaken impression that their devices were still under patent [23:54]
decimation when it had long ago expired [23:54]
asciilifeform wai wat [23:55]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform i'm tryin' to follow! [23:55]
asciilifeform (no one remotely connected with the filing of an american patent is under any doubt whatsoever regarding expiration thereof) [23:56]
mircea_popescu "I enjoy speaking at financial firms on human rationality." << there, your mystery's solved. he's doing the entertainment for vc teambuilding events. [23:56]
decimation asciilifeform: she said they would have long conversations where they were apparently mistaken about this [23:56]
* OneNomos has quit (Remote host closed the connection) [23:57]
mircea_popescu so is, for instance, her : http://40.media.tumblr.com/fc9005c0f6ad1619a382f70c2796027e/tumblr_msbf0u15E61rmm9buo1_500.jpg [23:58]

decimation mircea_popescu: snake-oil sales for 'business seminars' is quite big business [23:58]
asciilifeform if he does this, it is to rope in chumpz for his phoundation [23:58]
mircea_popescu well... you gotta put something up, you know ? gavin can't run to all of them in his satoshi costume [23:59]
asciilifeform and - it works [23:59]
mircea_popescu and out and out nudity is more of a terrorism&money laundering trope than anything [23:59]
asciilifeform (-somebody- is paying his bills) [23:59]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform he could say the same about you. [23:59]
asciilifeform exactly the same [23:59]
decimation re: mr y. < are you sure it's gurlz instead of boyz? [23:59]
