10:19 mircea_popescu asciilifeform thinking about it, it occurs to me that locklin's maudlin piece about reals is exactly typical of him and his "i am not intelligent, nor creative, but here's a bunch of hood ornaments i stole from other people's cars so you may think me intelligent and creative if you've never seen a car before" stance.
10:20 mircea_popescu what an actually intelligent, creative person would have said would have been that the sad, sad excursion in reals on mid-early machines was an utter disaster, the scars of which we may only hope one day to outlive ; that the move away from that stupidity and to purely int machines and appliations is the heart of sensibility,
10:21 mircea_popescu and that finally there is absolutely no reason to implement arbitrary division in the machine, nor does such idiocy exist in nature ; that the correct machine representation of numbers is FRACTIONS not fucking "decimals", and that computers that natively support bignum up to the size of memory and execute gcd in hardware aren't either particularly hard to make nor their absence to date excusable.

12:52 mircea_popescu asciilifeform orly ? do this experiment. "has wasitline" is defined as " waistline < (tits + hips) / 3". pick up a tape and measure!
12:53 mircea_popescu i suppose alternatively it could be "waistline in human females goes from 22 to 24 inches", if you want an absolute value. the problem is it'll admit all sorts of nags + most children. this is a debatable stance.

15:53 asciilifeform 'swat' originally referred to 'special weapons' but is also a very pointed double entendre , 'swat, like fly' - which is all that the lone unorganized malcontent with pea shooter is. insect, effortlessly crushed by gestapo.
15:55 shinohai I remember having a chuckle this Halloween past, a few stores had child size swat outfits to dress kids in.
15:56 asciilifeform hitlerjugend.
15:58 asciilifeform on the other end of thing, police firing ranges now have child-shaped targets. someone found that most n00bs hesitate when shooting children and this obviously will not do!
16:00 mircea_popescu asciilifeform needs be reminded of http://trilema.com/2015/strategy-for-the-antisocial-struggle/
16:00 asciilifeform aha.
16:00 asciilifeform swat was the usg answer to ^
16:01 mircea_popescu well no, swat was mostly the source of bodyes for bags there.
16:01 mircea_popescu iirc it was 2/3 of the coupla dozen dead.
16:01 asciilifeform why would usg care how many bystanders are bagged?
16:01 mircea_popescu we're not discussing bystanders.
16:02 asciilifeform modern cops have proper armour.
16:02 mircea_popescu "proper armour" is like "battleworthy aircraft carrier".
16:03 asciilifeform mircea_popescu himself linked to perfectly usable coats hat stand up to 7.62 fmj.
16:03 mircea_popescu so you don't fire 7.62 fmj. you fire he/incendiary.
16:03 asciilifeform what to shoot them with? crew-served aa gun ?
16:03 mircea_popescu yes.
16:03 asciilifeform ahahahahaha sure.
16:04 mircea_popescu it omes in .5 caliber you know.
16:04 asciilifeform why not with hbomb while yer at it.

16:18 mircea_popescu these people came up with the brilliant idea of mounting an autocannon in lieu of a proper cannon on a tank chassis. which is dumb enough ; but... instead of a belt feed, they came with the even briliant-er idea of having it manually loaded, with 3 round clips.

16:27 mircea_popescu "they came up with the idea of having the access hatch block the gun turret!"
16:28 mircea_popescu asciilifeform ze germanz hated the russian tanks and despised the anglo tanks (sherman included). there IS a difference.
16:29 asciilifeform sure.
16:30 mircea_popescu (though honestly it - esp the m4 - looked to me more like a hastily copied t-34 than anything)
16:31 asciilifeform the real magic of 34 was in the ~production~

19:43 jurov what about.. i don't know what is called - these accordion things ancient blacksmiths were usign to blow air?
19:44 asciilifeform jurov: bellows, in engl.
19:44 asciilifeform they aren't esp. quiet.
19:45 jurov idk, maybe the flapping noise would be more palatable :D

19:47 jurov i'm sure they can be done silent with modern materials as they have no fast moving parts
19:47 asciilifeform slow moving parts make plenty of noise.
19:47 asciilifeform as does air.
19:48 jurov um.. and what about combining them with keyboard?
19:48 asciilifeform ugh
