09:04 mircea_popescu what's that even.
09:05 mircea_popescu btw, i'm writing a mega-piece on clinical psychiatry. so save yourself an hour this evening.
09:05 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: i.e. 'ideological' #b-a perma-resident.
09:06 mircea_popescu eh.
09:06 * asciilifeform allocates hour.
09:06 mircea_popescu what's the ideology.
09:06 mircea_popescu "we hate X guy" is politics, not ideology. gotta have an idea for to ideology.
09:06 asciilifeform then none.
09:07 Framedragger asciilifeform: thanks for putting words into a person's mouth, i'm sure that did great justice. you call this ideological? http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-08-2016#1453186 << i call this just being more critical and reflective
09:08 asciilifeform Framedragger: this is exactly it though.
09:08 asciilifeform kakotronic.
09:09 Framedragger you know, i recall shitty philosophy students dissing entire philosophical works by just calling them "platonic". can't really do justice by generalizing like that, can you now
09:10 Framedragger (in truth, not the best of analogies)
09:11 mircea_popescu anyone mind quoting the source material ?
09:16 Framedragger 16-08-2016
09:17 Framedragger ‏‎asciilifeform:pankkake: the 'can't admit being wrong' thing is quite true, and whether you can afford dealing with mptronics, is very personal matter. so i do not actually disagree, as such, with pankkake.
09:17 Framedragger "i'm more curious re kakobrekla's motivation for withholding any of the info."
09:17 Framedragger "the only possible explanation is that not all of it contributes to the narrative he wants to build."
09:17 Framedragger ‏‎punkman:flimflams: "oops flushed the orderbook again", "oops mispaid dividends again", "HELLO I AM THE CEO OF BITCOIN, HERE IS THE BITCOIN EXAM, oh what do you mean btc addresses don't keep a balance?" "it's not socialized losses, it's btc cartelisation research" "you were being an asshole so I banned your mpex account"
09:18 Framedragger quotation with right-handed text is fucked
09:19 asciilifeform it was lulzy, kako promised 'proof that mircea_popescu is really nigerian' or similar
09:19 Framedragger ftr i haven't made up my mind and a man is more complex than just a binary state machine
09:19 mircea_popescu i am what ?!
09:19 Framedragger haha
09:20 mircea_popescu anyway, so what's the problem ? guy thinks he's on to something, this is the bread and butter of a life of the mind.
09:20 asciilifeform i've tried and failed to convince the fella to write up his 'something'
09:20 Framedragger my frustration with kako is that he doesn't think it's worth the time to write up a coherent narrative from his point of view. i'm sure it'd be useful to have it. maybe it's because it's impossible to have one in that case; maybe not; i for one don't fucking know
09:21 mircea_popescu yeah well, these things take a while. go have einstein write up "his something" the year prior his writing it you know ?
09:21 asciilifeform and hey, i might learn that i also was always nigerian?
09:21 Framedragger :D
09:21 mircea_popescu this is fucking absurd, not like guy never saw me ? wtf.
09:22 mircea_popescu is the idea here that "whatever, we've already fucked ourselves with anyone with a clue, might as well say things that'd perhaps persuade a fraction of anyone else" ? or what, is "nigerian" more of a state of mind than a state of pigmentation ?
09:22 asciilifeform mind
09:23 Framedragger totally sure it was meant with "mind". it's kinda gotten out of hand and is imho not constructive; i mean, to keep to this narrative but not put it into (coherent stream of) words
09:23 asciilifeform as i understand, he now disbelieves in all of mircea_popescu that he had not personally seen
09:23 mircea_popescu heh sure, anyone can be anything etc. whatevs.
09:23 mircea_popescu to get back to it, "i am suspicious of this mp fellow" is not an ideology ; nor in itself much of a problem.
09:24 thestringpuller ;;later tell diana_coman RE: our conversation of engines >> http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/KevinNormann/20160412/270186/Game_Engines_Past_Present_and_Future.php
09:24 asciilifeform the really depressing bit about kako is that he floats in a vacuum now.
09:24 mircea_popescu Framedragger it's trauma, dude. he did what he earnestly believed was right at the time ; turns out to have been entirely and unmitigatedly wrong. this is catastrophic, and especially so in poorly socialized, introverted, intelligent males. now gotta reevaluate everything, the evaluations often don't come out meaningful, the correct alternatives are frequently perceived as alf-impossible, it's a mess.
09:24 asciilifeform i suggested various constructive lines of work to him, and (mega-unsurprise) it did not help.
09:26 Framedragger mircea_popescu: don't disagree with your characterization. but i don't think the "entirely and unmitigatedly wrong" is objectively / necessarily the case. mining konspiracy, i don't know, mircea. but at this point i'm too out of the loop for the "i" to be mean anything here.
09:26 mircea_popescu ftr : my "fuck you, you may not be poor and be here" is not (as i'm certain oft perceived, because why the fuck not, it's easier) simply mp-superby. it is a strict and absolute necessity for one's own mental health.
09:26 Framedragger to mean*
09:26 mircea_popescu this is BECAUSE people who are poor often lack the specific sort of sophistication that will keep them from falling in that exact hole.
09:26 asciilifeform eh the fella is richer than , e.g., asciilifeform
09:27 Framedragger asciilifeform: this is prolly again one of those "mind" things
09:28 mircea_popescu i dunno what it is ; but the risk is certainly there.
09:28 asciilifeform Framedragger: in case you didn't know - kako sits on a tall pile of earlyadoptronium (and also bbetronium)
09:28 mircea_popescu asciilifeform as a model, i propose to you that there's no substantial difference between this and say your bizarro position re llvm yest.
09:28 mircea_popescu not in its substance, MIND YOU
09:28 mircea_popescu in its expression.
09:28 asciilifeform he doesn't work for money and doesn't, as i understand, ever intend to.
09:29 mircea_popescu i have slaves who also don't ; so has the welfare state. this doesn't makethem "richer than x". they are the 0 of poor.
09:29 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: my position came from a substantial stint of actual study and experiment with llvm.
09:29 mircea_popescu so yes, in this sense, it IS a "mind thing"
09:29 mircea_popescu asciilifeform yes, but your expression of that position came from five minutes of being a teenage boy alone.
09:30 Framedragger http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160907/from:569/to:569#569 << interesting - but i agree with mircea_popescu here that it's not entirely relevant, as it's not meant in that sense. but, interesting

09:31 mircea_popescu yeah sure, soon as apple's check clears.

09:31 asciilifeform but i have nfi how to fit it in 1 line as other than 'elaborate work of evil, baited mousetrap.'
09:32 mircea_popescu i'm not trying to repress you! i'm just using things.
09:32 mircea_popescu it's not "x was wrong, bad alfie!" it's "well review how x worked and it'll offer a model for how y works"
09:32 asciilifeform lel
09:33 asciilifeform jurov: mega-disappoint! where is the vomit?
09:34 mircea_popescu Framedragger the miner conspiracy is in no way related to any of this ; however. if you recall, that disagreement as such resulted in entirely no friction.
09:35 Framedragger oh really? interesting. but in http://trilema.com/2016/the-greatly-anticipated-bitbet-sbbet-february-2016-statement/ there is that "Cost of doing business in Bitcoin : 17.94766149 BTC"
09:36 mircea_popescu if someone shouts "down with the government" and then tries to grab a policeman's gun, he will be prosecuted ; and he will obviously claim "it's political". nevertheless...
09:36 mircea_popescu Framedragger sure. businesses will on occasion run into unexpected costs. this is a fact of [business] life.
09:37 asciilifeform his position was, and afaik remains, ' mircea_popescu's misconfiguted btctron blew away 17+, he should pay ' etc.
09:37 asciilifeform *configured
09:37 mircea_popescu and this is, as you notice, entirely divorced from that.
09:38 asciilifeform i do not yet notice?
09:38 Framedragger wasn't the whole point of it that kako disagreed of you attempting to charge bbet money for spending money twice (ironically, zero fee tx will be more difficult with no block size increase - which i'm against, too). that this was not in the gpg contract. so he did not sign bbet statement. and then bbet proceeded to be liquidated. you also disabled his mpex account for an unsigned comment on qntra or wherever which did not breach any clau
09:38 Framedragger se of the gpg contract, but that's separate, too, i guess
09:38 mircea_popescu that it's a smoothly working machinery, where escalation was tried and failed and then tried and failed and then and failed AND THEN TRIED!!! and failed does not excuse one from pretending "the last step" is "because the first step".
09:39 mircea_popescu there bowls of "fuck me, i'm stupid" to be eaten at every juncture. perhaps of increasing size, it is true, but there nevertheless.
09:39 mircea_popescu the anal child's "you didn't buy me my toy so it's your fault i'm a junkie" only works in the mind of the anal child.
09:39 asciilifeform i happen to think that kako was a bloody fool for signing up for '0 asset corp'
09:40 asciilifeform it is like that no-fat lab mouse
09:40 asciilifeform if you forget to feed it just once...
09:40 asciilifeform or it gets excited and runs a little too long
09:41 mircea_popescu Framedragger not only separate, but entirely nobody's concern. i can ban anyone for any reason or for no reason and i offer no explanations. this is how, you know, your bank works, also.
09:41 asciilifeform i did point this to him.
09:41 mircea_popescu aaaanyway.
09:41 * mircea_popescu goes back to his article.
09:42 * asciilifeform goes back to his unspeakable horrors.
09:43 Framedragger mircea_popescu: absolutely. and at the same time you can understand why a bunch of people do not intend to hold any money with you ("these people have money?!" - mp laughs), because even if the "ban" is legit, it doesn't exactly inspire things.
09:43 * Framedragger goes back to $job :(
09:43 trinque are we back to opining on a man's private business decisions like it's reddit or what
09:45 Framedragger that's a ridiculous slippery slope; street thieves also run private business enterprises in that respect, i suppose

11:19 mircea_popescu lol. phf let each bot do its own.
11:20 phf mircea_popescu: well, i want the arrows to still work, so i explicitly ignore his for quoting
11:20 * shinohai still prefers readability of phf's logs, no offense to Framedragger
11:20 * asciilifeform also
11:20 mircea_popescu well ok but you can't have each bot read each line in chat what is this.
11:20 phf but there's a nifty way to bring down both bots, which i think i should fix asap
11:20 trinque ehehe
11:20 asciilifeform phf: i did think about this.
11:21 trinque also
11:21 asciilifeform mutually-recursive barf
11:21 mircea_popescu if people reference your thing, let your bot read it ; if people reference his let his bot read it.
11:21 mircea_popescu you can count references any way you please, that's an unrelated matter
11:21 phf mircea_popescu: that's not the problem above though
11:21 mircea_popescu oh it recursed ?
11:22 phf a111 quoted the two btcbase urls. one of the urls contained mkj url, so scriba quoted that
11:22 mircea_popescu this is actually not bad.
11:22 asciilifeform phf: neato
11:22 phf unless you post a mutually recursive url (one that contains both links at the same time and references another one that contains both)
11:23 mircea_popescu if you do that i'll ban you, how about that.
11:23 mircea_popescu the problem is that as discussion progresses, there will be genuine references that are very long./
11:23 mircea_popescu i think best would be if phf Framedragger and everyone ever running a log bot limits the number of lines the bot will read without interruption from human to three.
11:24 mircea_popescu for the needs of this, however, we'd have to keep a list of bots, which is mildly obnoxious.
11:25 mircea_popescu #trilema, at the forefront of ai research.
11:26 shinohai All jhvh1 wants is to be sure you have a working copy of trb when X-Day comes
11:32 phf actually looking at code i'm already using my bot list to ignore bot messages when annotating, which is not the best behavior

11:37 asciilifeform and assbot dun live here, and neither, afaik, lobbesbot

11:38 mircea_popescu lobbesbot lives in #eulora ; lobbes- did it.
11:39 mircea_popescu but yes, we cameto a crossroad, where ai denizens are actually a significant enough portion of the republic's cohorts.

11:42 mircea_popescu "all ais are subject to registration. any ai found without proper registration will be destroyed."
11:43 * shinohai chisels this into republic law stones
11:43 Framedragger ah! lol. in relation to mutual recursion, scriba won't repeat same line forever, fwiw; it will switch to "..."; but mutual destruction hasn't been empirically tested, so heh.
11:43 Framedragger i'm not sure regarding explicit list of bots for each bot for good citizenry / collaboration purposes, but as phf said his bot already does that, kinda.
11:43 Framedragger (if same irc nick invokes same line multiple lines that line won't be repeated foreva; so there's that)
11:44 Framedragger believe it or not bot writers (scriba just piggybacks on a general bot) think about these things, sometimes :p
11:44 Framedragger of course a mutual recursive *chain* could maybe be constructed....
11:45 Framedragger regarding readability, yah /me prefers phf's html too, i think :D i'll see about it after more important things are taken care of; but it's prolly good to have different designs, too.
11:46 Framedragger and yeah cool stuff phf
11:48 Framedragger only question right now, is this http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160907/from:698/to:700#698 a good thing - i think that it's not bad, too

11:51 mircea_popescu though honestly, i'm not sure why it's useful, other than you liking it. people routinely read around linked items.
11:51 Framedragger makes sense to me
11:52 mircea_popescu or at least they'd god damned better.
11:52 Framedragger i guess it has a socialist bent to it - i thought - noobs won't read actual logs so might as well quote what's actually needed; and, it is useful for when it's just a couple of lines. but it does add to the thickness of logz.
11:53 phf Framedragger: also i did notice that utc+3 to utc shift midday ;)
11:53 mircea_popescu Framedragger we don't cater to stupid.

14:16 mircea_popescu alice reddit.
14:16 asciilifeform it was where i found it!
14:16 mircea_popescu these were, believe it or not, unrelated strands.
14:16 asciilifeform it wrote to me (reddit has a pm thing)
14:16 asciilifeform and i reflexively mailed it back phuctor 'contact' link (~all of my 'fan mail' is phuctor-related these days)
14:18 mircea_popescu aaanyway.
14:19 * mircea_popescu very much welcomes criticism / improvement / further research of teh suto.
14:19 asciilifeform i ended up, to my woe, looking up the 'pony' thing trinque mentioned, there are ~0 actual females there btw.
14:20 asciilifeform which is lulzy because the thing at its root is some american cartoon about (all-female!) unicorns.
14:21 asciilifeform who were originally a plastic toy, and the maker commissioned a 'toyetic' (actual term of art) tv show to market it with.
14:21 asciilifeform sorta how 'adventures of gummi bears' happened in 1980s.
14:22 asciilifeform (there was a ru translation! and no one had any fucking notion that there ever existed the candy, much less that it preceded that children's cartoon.)
14:23 mircea_popescu what pony thing ?
14:23 mircea_popescu oh, i thought you meant ponygirls. iirc "brony" was for a while years ago a pedo rally cry.
14:23 mircea_popescu much like habbo hotel worked a decade prior.

14:24 thestringpuller spells of genesis joins the hype train: https://news.bitcoin.com/spells-genesis-mainstream-success/
14:25 mircea_popescu no, you don't "identify as a pony". you pretend to be interested in a preteen cartoon show because a) trying to talk with preteens online and b) if you do it enough maybe it normalizes.
14:25 trinque the cover theory makes a great deal of sense.
14:26 mircea_popescu thestringpuller because totally skinning a product is innovation now.
14:26 thestringpuller at least its pretty
14:26 asciilifeform ζζζζζζ!111111
14:27 mircea_popescu remarkably enough, the don't mention the ~only bitcoin game worth the mention other than eulora, that being a tale in the desert.
14:27 mircea_popescu aaanwyay, roger ver and friends, doomed by stupidity.
14:28 thestringpuller well tale of the desert isn't bitcoin based. that's a knights tale by the same guy
14:28 mircea_popescu a right right.
14:28 thestringpuller also a tale in the desert gets REALLY boring
14:28 mircea_popescu same engine.
14:28 thestringpuller but it's crafting system is unprecedented.
14:29 thestringpuller but who am i to judge "boring" the countless hours watching tv to kill time while waitng to get in an FFXI party to play for like maybe 30 minutes of combat
14:30 * mircea_popescu finds magic the gathering and clones boring, for that matter.
14:30 thestringpuller anyhow. the srs MTG crowd actually think SoG is a joke, it may pull some player, but there's no point.
14:30 shinohai Wasn't "Spells of Genesis" another Voorhees enterprise?
14:30 thestringpuller i think that's why it pivoted to arcade game with "card battle system"
14:30 mircea_popescu which is exactly what i meant above. really, they skinned someone else's thing ?
14:30 asciilifeform ftr, the ζ thing almost led me to wonder if 'alice' wasn't an educational experiment created by mircea_popescu .
14:31 asciilifeform punishment, for my sins.
14:31 mircea_popescu asciilifeform i had no hand in any of this!
14:31 asciilifeform (per the 'orc symbols' and 'cheap sybils' threads!111)
14:31 asciilifeform aite.
14:31 mircea_popescu and i'm still reeling from the tulpa coincidence.
14:32 thestringpuller mircea_popescu: skinned someone else's thing << Just cause facebook lined up a billion idiots. And WoW poached MTG pkayers for "Hearthstone", kinda just biomass going from time waster to time waster
14:32 mircea_popescu it is strictly possible that ~all the facebook/reddit/etc "profiles" belong to a single person.
14:32 asciilifeform it is apparently a fad in yudkowskian 'rationalist' (yes) circles.
14:32 mircea_popescu thestringpuller i actually checked out hearthstone. it's fucking boring i dunno how they 15yo manages
14:32 mircea_popescu asciilifeform what is ?
14:33 thestringpuller mircea_popescu: imagine you're a millennial raised on an ipad and your attention span lasts maybe 1 page of a normal novel.
14:33 mircea_popescu how am i going to imagine that
14:33 thestringpuller Imagine you're the ipad!
14:33 thestringpuller XD
14:33 mircea_popescu lol
14:33 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: the massive stash in the git, of 'this program is written in 'vrelta', which is written in 'ukuku, resting in all its pride and glory' is not shannonized. i am satisfied that it is the multi-year product of genuine madness.
14:34 mircea_popescu how did you achieve this satisfaction ?
14:34 thestringpuller this imo is why the state of gaming is where it is. Games have become "babysitters", rather than quality toys.
14:35 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: largely by familiarity with the process. i personally grew up doing it. and this is 3rd example i run into publicly to date (others being mr mold and terry davis.)
14:35 ben_vulpes subject of ipad, apple is picking a fight with the 3.5mm audio jack
14:35 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: old noose.
14:35 thestringpuller ben_vulpes: They trynna to patent it cause "Square" et. al?
14:35 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: ever since koreans came out with the watertight pnoje , demonstratively shipped in a jar of water, crapple threatened same
14:36 mircea_popescu ah this finally happened ?
14:36 asciilifeform the korean one happened years ago
14:36 asciilifeform but iirc it still had a jack, with a rubber stopper
14:37 asciilifeform !!s ampoule phone
14:37 mircea_popescu for anyone who spent childhood around kids comparing the "waterproofness" of their watches, by meter depth - esp kids who never went into water
14:37 asciilifeform $s ampoule phone
14:37 a111 1 result for "ampoule phone", http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=ampoule%20phone
14:37 mircea_popescu that the same will occur to "smart" phones was expected.
14:37 thestringpuller ben_vulpes: from what it sounds like they can't make money on the 3.5mm jack, so they gonna make a USB lightning adapter?!?!?
14:37 thestringpuller "If you have a favourite pair of older earphones or headphones, you can plug them into the Lightning or USB-C jack with a little adapter. Some will have splitters so that you can charge your phone and plug in headphones simultaneously." << what the actual fuck
14:37 ben_vulpes "why ditch analog stereo headphone jacks? well, we're still smarting from losing the firewire/usb format war, so we're going to pick a fight with a defacto industry standard."
14:38 asciilifeform ah so no ampoule phone yet.
14:38 mircea_popescu "older" being the keyword. what happened to you know, "better".
14:38 asciilifeform just a 'let's make proprietary jack' thing.
14:38 asciilifeform so 1990s.
14:38 trinque they're gonna beam microwaves through your skull moar now
14:38 thestringpuller I don't understand it, cause bluetooth traditionally sucks for audio fidelity
14:39 asciilifeform bluetooth sucked from the 'pairing' thing.
14:39 thestringpuller this is why as an audiophile, I have a vinyl player at work.
14:39 asciilifeform (srsly, multi-second delays?!)
14:39 asciilifeform which is why the logitech mouse proprietary-radio thing still sells so well
14:39 asciilifeform 0 delay.
14:39 mircea_popescu thestringpuller here's a little understood bit of corporate insanity : if a dying company dies normally, it is assumed the ceo & co were idiots ; if it dies as a result of doing something large and monunemtally stupid, it is assumed the ceo & team were brave souls who caught a bad break.
14:39 thestringpuller asciilifeform: you ever try watching a movie on early bluetooth headphones?
14:39 mircea_popescu this stimulates a lot of outright insane behaviour in large companies.
14:39 asciilifeform thestringpuller: early bluetooth was ~unusable entirely.
14:40 mircea_popescu stupidity on an epic scale not only didn't end carly fiorina's career among her own kind - but actually made her hillary's best friend
14:40 mircea_popescu a hillary who is also known for similar approach.
14:40 thestringpuller from all my ventures into being an audiophile at some point the analog tech produces sounds your ears can't even hear
14:41 thestringpuller hence why flac files are like gigs large
14:41 trinque one song flac is ~40MB
14:42 thestringpuller trinque: sorry: meant vinyl rips of albums.
14:42 thestringpuller Like the rip my friend did of one of my 70's Stevie Wonder albums was like ~2 gb
14:43 jurov vinyl has its own artifacts, no?
14:43 mircea_popescu this seems altogether a dubious proposition seeing how for all the wankery now surrounding them, vinyl records are industrial mass products ; from a time when 8kbps was a lot.
14:44 asciilifeform what bps, analogue.
14:44 asciilifeform snr, in db.
14:44 jurov the studio mastering has to shoehorn the record into vinyl's deficiencies (so that the tracks don't touch etc)
14:44 mircea_popescu yes they weren't originally digitized. if you think 1960s microphones and buzzy electronics make for a better quality...
14:44 trinque aha, they rip them in say 24bit/96kHz so they can hear the crackles and pops in ultra high def
14:45 asciilifeform 'audiophilia' is a psychiatric condition.
14:45 asciilifeform we had thread.
14:46 thestringpuller personal prefernce. i tend to like vocals on non condenser mic's cause they sound more "warm"
14:46 * mircea_popescu recently found out why ~all the casters in 1920/1930s sound the fucking same.
14:46 mircea_popescu the fucking mics!
14:46 asciilifeform noshit.jpg
14:47 mircea_popescu i thought they're just doing that weird voice deliberately
14:47 asciilifeform i had this mike, and a modern one, as a boy, and compared.

22:36 mircea_popescu i find it funny how they always fail on the most basic of questions. "who are you ?" "powers ? what powers ?" etc.
22:37 asciilifeform the power of mealsquare-gettin'
22:38 asciilifeform if the 'rationalist' folk did not exist, they would need to be created...
22:38 mircea_popescu it is mildly entertaining.
22:39 mircea_popescu currently appears as "coven of women wanted to be slaves - as women often do ; ended up stuck with a bunch of beta dorks, because whereby to get a master! did the best possible under circumstances, which is... at best pretty fucking weird."
22:40 asciilifeform dunno that more than ~handful of biological womenz are involved in any of this.
22:40 mircea_popescu i mean what the chick describes, "you dumb slut, when your master tells you to go the fuck outside you go the fuck outside, what arguments" is very basic slavegirl experience. the cruft she builts all around it though...
22:41 mircea_popescu what "imagine future self" for crying out loud. how about imagine your future butt. with welts and all.
22:42 asciilifeform none of these folk are getting arse welts any more than they'll be dragged on a rope under dirigible.
22:42 mircea_popescu yes, but the PLACE WHERE THEY'D GO is manifestly there.
22:43 mircea_popescu much like kid in soviet lands, with a catalogue for to apply stamps for a prize. there's the spaces clearly delineated ; and no stamps. ever.
22:43 asciilifeform ^
22:44 mircea_popescu aaanyway. i imagine in typical style of the poor peasant girl, they tell themselves the reason they don't get to go to the seaside is because they're better than that.
22:44 asciilifeform BIG BUGZ
22:44 asciilifeform or what was it
22:45 asciilifeform gargauni ?
22:45 mircea_popescu that, yeah.
22:45 mircea_popescu nah , those are different bugs.
22:45 asciilifeform hm
22:46 mircea_popescu anyway, re "handful of biological women" : there was at no point in the history of porn that i;m aware of, a differential lower than three degrees of magnitude between the chick count and the dork count.
22:46 mircea_popescu so.. handful of girlz, yes, and a bunch of dorks, yes. numbers check out.
22:47 asciilifeform about same % as in, e.g., mining camp ?
22:48 mircea_popescu naa
22:48 asciilifeform or whatever other meatgrinder-for-supernumerary-males-with-chix-audience
22:48 mircea_popescu see, the delusion of choice adds like two to twelve zeroes.
22:48 mircea_popescu miners wanted at least a whif of the pussy.
22:48 mircea_popescu dorks are happy with squarefucks.
22:49 asciilifeform squarehappy.
22:49 mircea_popescu shouldn't happies be round ?
22:49 asciilifeform not these.
22:49 asciilifeform these - square.
22:49 mircea_popescu let's compromise :
22:49 mircea_popescu happycheese
22:50 asciilifeform sounds unpleasantly smegmatic for some reason.
22:50 mircea_popescu perhaps because it's true.
22:51 asciilifeform btw - ~why~ was it that the peasant gurl could not go to the sea ?
22:51 asciilifeform i never grasped
22:51 mircea_popescu by herself ?! what, as a 12yo or w/e ?!
22:51 asciilifeform or as older etc
22:51 asciilifeform folks dun stay 12 forever
22:52 mircea_popescu as older wouldn't be relevant to the story, being later. who knows, maybe she grew up to worship my footsepts.
22:52 mircea_popescu but in any case : you couldn't just BUY a hotel reservation. you had to get tickets.
22:52 asciilifeform ro is what, 900km wide ? and iirc it's got trains
22:52 mircea_popescu which were distributed by workplace
22:52 mircea_popescu so you had to be cool.
22:52 mircea_popescu if you tried to camp on the sea you'd have been arrested and sent to work.
22:52 asciilifeform crash with friends ?
22:53 mircea_popescu the #1 thing i liked about ro socialism and dislike in us socialism is this. idleness was fucking illegal, "homelessness" meant the police picked you up, beat you up, and sent you to work camp.
22:53 mircea_popescu and computer programming, as understood today, same.
22:53 asciilifeform тунеядство
22:53 mircea_popescu asciilifeform well this one had no friends.
22:53 asciilifeform ^ we had a word.
22:53 asciilifeform in the su penal code.
22:53 asciilifeform it doesn't even translate to eng.! afaik
22:53 mircea_popescu !~translate Ro to Ru vagabondaj
22:54 jhvh1 mircea_popescu: бродяжничество
22:54 asciilifeform that sounds more britishy actually
22:54 mircea_popescu i think i like this better
22:54 asciilifeform !~translate Ru to Eng тунеядство
22:54 jhvh1 asciilifeform: parasitism
22:54 asciilifeform nah.
22:54 asciilifeform or rather, not quite.
22:54 mircea_popescu yeah, this also existed, but entirely different.
22:54 asciilifeform more closely would be 'uselessly-eating'
22:55 mircea_popescu parasitism = mp lives off his investments. vagabondaj = alice_ is not sucking cock.
22:55 asciilifeform nono
22:55 asciilifeform that was different article
22:55 asciilifeform in penal code
22:55 mircea_popescu heh
22:55 asciilifeform 'нетрудовые доходы'
22:55 mircea_popescu two words ? such waste!
22:56 asciilifeform huffman coding !111111111111
22:58 asciilifeform i must disagree that the alices are idle, however.
22:58 asciilifeform they are busting their nuts for hitler.
22:58 asciilifeform cranking out systemd's, ukukus, etc.
22:59 BingoBoingo <asciilifeform> (i ~wish~ i were making this up... but: the 'rationalists' have this... sacrament? where they sit around in infinitely recursive stupour, contemplating 'future self') << HERETICS ACTING FROM PURPOSE
22:59 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: sorta what the magnetic pole of that direction looks like.
22:59 asciilifeform it ain't pretty.
23:09 BingoBoingo Looks like MAO-ism in the Nepali sense where every political party is a different kind of MAOist party
23:12 mircea_popescu here's something for lulz : https://svn.code.sf.net/p/planeshift/code/www/register/randString.php
23:13 mircea_popescu and in the same vein / from the same source : https://archive.is/uIBox#selection-9.1569-9.1577
~ 21 minutes ~
23:35 BingoBoingo win
23:35 asciilifeform dafuq
23:41 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: i read that as 'MAOI party'
23:41 BingoBoingo EIther way fava beans still kill
23:45 asciilifeform !!s tropar
23:45 asciilifeform !~s tropar
23:45 jhvh1 asciilifeform: Error: "s" is not a valid command.
23:45 asciilifeform hm
23:46 asciilifeform $s tropar
23:46 a111 4 results for "tropar", http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=tropar
23:46 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: what's a tropar
23:49 trinque "hymn" in romanian according to cursory googling
23:57 asciilifeform that'd make sense.
