11:59 mircea_popescu comments welcome!
12:02 mircea_popescu shinohai hanbot maybe posting the form via get would allow me to search directly ? or how'd i use this a la !#s ?
12:03 mircea_popescu http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-09#1767519 <<< o look, when the saudis "bought" that piece of shit it ... wasn't "corruption" and the saudi state very much does not need to take measure to eliminate the "corruption" of giving usg money. it's only when non-usg gets dough that the idiot neets need to stand up and herpderp on social media about "corruption" amirite ?

12:04 mircea_popescu anyway, it's a good thing the usg "coallition" totally won the isis war.
12:05 shinohai I am pondering that mircea_popescu ... as hanbot said it would be tedious to dump a bunch of links directly to chan, so I was thinking maybe to a paste.
12:06 mircea_popescu mebbeh
12:06 mircea_popescu but how do i get my query out to it ?
12:08 mircea_popescu http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-09#1767528 << lmao argentina coincidentally waking up to "hey, everyone thinks you're shitheads" after half a century of happy solipsism.

12:08 mircea_popescu PIZDI NO PILI, BITCHES! and next time say what and where you read that gave you teh existential angst.
12:16 mircea_popescu aand in other lulz from the meatmarkets, "lady_canesworth".
12:18 mats its interesting that isis has found sympathizers in south east asia, which has a syncretic islam
12:18 mircea_popescu mats i don't expect isis is more islamic than "fuck the us".
12:18 mircea_popescu but what do i know, i dun have fifty +1/+1 green beret cultural experts on the ground to write me briefs.
12:20 hanbot <mircea_popescu> comments welcome! << you could put grabbing a chunk of trilema to index in there, possibly --though the activity doesn't force presence/participation here in chan
12:20 mircea_popescu hanbot like... red ?
12:20 hanbot anyway i used post over get because of the (3k?) char limit on get --if someone has a lot of terms to put through, the url could get ginormous
12:21 mircea_popescu but would they practically ?
12:21 hanbot mircea_popescu prolly yellow morelike
12:21 mircea_popescu the average log search is what, 10 chars or such.
12:22 mircea_popescu hanbot on meditation, i think it belongs into discreet. i think the idea is very sensitive to idiots "helping", you really don't want rando "contributing"
12:24 hanbot i was thinking it'd have to be checked, but sure, could open a door best kept closed, i get it
12:24 mircea_popescu can always waylay the possibly-useful later on, not like we don't know whose mind works.
12:25 hanbot true
12:25 hanbot anyway i'm happy to change to get so stuff can be played with.
12:26 mircea_popescu part of the problem is that the syntax is complex, if I want to search for something i have to remember what's what.
12:27 mircea_popescu re bot integration i mean
12:27 mircea_popescu this actually may be the like... ONE known case to date where i'd rather go to the site and click buttons than type in !~tadb comments=1&blabla
12:29 hanbot aha. well a lot of the options on the page atm are just an attempt to offer...more options to folks, lol. typically when i have the missing article problem with trilema it's along the lines of "what was that piece about korea, there was some history in it and a picture, and it was after 2015". not exactly an exhaustive list of checked parameters
12:30 BingoBoingo And this is how cutter numbers get long...
12:31 mircea_popescu aha.
12:31 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo the problem with books in a library isn't even that terrifying, seeing how they usually pick a topic. trilema article picks like a dozen, ikt's all about the interlinks.
12:32 mircea_popescu (incidentally, the argument may be brought that dewey was a terrible cost upon human culture and ~the reason us never amounted to anything : the tendency to pick a topic is not unlike the tendency to pick a gender. "i can't think now, since i'm a girl" sorta bs.)
12:32 BingoBoingo Right, but the insanity gets worse with the Library of congress system
12:33 mircea_popescu it does.
12:34 BingoBoingo And then there's OCLC which ends any attempt at sense and soley exists to keep catgenders employed
12:35 mircea_popescu in any event hanbot 's attempt actually suggests an approach to quantifying the "That the republic readily exceeds the literate production of the combine of "modern democracies" should be unsurprising ; that they sorry shelters of the stunted ever manage to reach its quality is altogether dubious." claim.
12:35 mircea_popescu just write out the exhaustive topiclist per item and then count links.
12:39 mircea_popescu ie what is informally referred to as http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-07#1766620
12:39 a111 Logged on 2018-01-07 21:01 mircea_popescu: leaving aside the remarkable poverty of reference, i'd like at least for the few popitems he uses to be at the fucking least correct!
12:39 mircea_popescu of course, merely quantitative approaches do not work, lest you end up with a http://trilema.com/2017/the-ethics-of-liberty-by-murray-n-rothbard-adnotated-part-vi-a-crusoe-social-philosophy/#selection-299.0-299.217 style hacker in those entreprising new worlds bereft of any serious thought.

13:25 * mircea_popescu 's favourite of the later travelpics is http://trilema.com/2017/il-coccodrillo-amico-delluomo/
13:25 mircea_popescu perhaps unsurprisingly, i always liked crocodiles.
13:28 shinohai Their skin makes beautiful leather.
13:28 mircea_popescu ever heard one bray ? lol.
13:28 shinohai Yup, they sound like a deep huehuehue to me
13:28 mircea_popescu ya lol
13:29 mircea_popescu it's somewhat a pity internet culture settled on "troll" as the mythological beast. crocodile perhaps much better on cool examination.
13:30 shinohai Now you make me think of it, the crocodiles were just as entertaining to watch as the birds when I was in Florida. My trip was strictly for birds!
13:31 mircea_popescu those are more like aligators neh ?
13:31 * mircea_popescu has nfi, originally trhought new world "crocodile" poor copy, real crocodile in africa. then it turned out costa rica has actual bona fide crocodylus
13:33 shinohai Nah A"American" crocodiles seem to be extremely North of range in Florida, but those weird swamp people love fucking with them.
13:33 mircea_popescu i certainly had some aligator steak to certify the fuck with claim.
13:34 shinohai Was it good?
13:34 mircea_popescu yes, actually.
13:34 shinohai I did not try, only reptile I have ever consumed was the iguana in Guatemala.
13:35 mircea_popescu if mod6 came by all nonchalant like and was "hey, i shot a 350 lb shrimp today" what i;d expect the steak to taste like would be ~alligator.
13:36 shinohai mod6 would be proud of me, I managed a pair of quail the other weekend when it snowed.
13:37 mircea_popescu o wow, i had no idea you hunted.
13:37 mircea_popescu what did you shoot ?
13:37 shinohai I have a Winchester Model 12
13:37 BingoBoingo <mircea_popescu> it's fucking easy here, i think place invented birds. << There's good variety here but the only photogenic motherfuckers are the pigeons
13:37 mircea_popescu no i mean for ammo
13:37 shinohai I don't go much anymore
13:37 shinohai 00 bird cartridges
13:38 mircea_popescu is that 2.25mm shot ?

13:42 mircea_popescu aha. yeah.

13:44 mircea_popescu wait, slock.it is no longer the bees' knees ?!
13:44 mircea_popescu next you're going to tell me doge isn't the new ether anymore or something!
13:45 knoobie bah, god i hate bots!!!
13:46 shinohai Doge managed to get itself back up to 100 satoshi .... still less than the 5cents xD
13:47 mircea_popescu knoobie what did bots did to you ?
13:48 knoobie mircea_popescu: we just never seem to see eye to eye on things.. lmao

13:51 BingoBoingo knoobie: You don't import it, you decrypt it
13:52 trinque paste the actual whole line you're sending to deedbot here.
13:52 knoobie BingoBoingo: English, Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, and some Turkish
13:53 mircea_popescu so if i follow the history correctly here, some tranny made a mistake that accidentally exposed some lie they've been telling themselves for a long time, which they couldn't cope with, so they went on the usual pantsuit bender of "trying to find the correct authority figure to whine/lie to", which resulted in some random retired stockbroker relocating to dubai in joining #trilema.

14:38 BingoBoingo In other fakes: "The fake passage purports to describe a scene from the early days of the Trump presidency in which the new executive expressed frustration that his television didn’t display “the gorilla channel.” When his aides “compiled a number of gorilla documentaries into a makeshift gorilla channel,” the president remained frustrated, insisting that the animals should fight one another. "

14:38 mircea_popescu is this more from the "i did not vote for this" NEET channel ?

17:53 mircea_popescu this i judge as the right move, otherwise might've hanged self in despair years prior to republic.
17:53 asciilifeform yea the other 3 asciilifeforms prolly looked, ate nagant
17:54 mircea_popescu anyway, 1990s period /me "emacs is fucked, use vi, at least it's shorter and doesn't do anything" very much related to all this.
17:54 asciilifeform it also helps that i dun actually ~like~ emacs. i use it 'через нехочу'
17:56 phf asciilifeform; first class characters like in common lisp for one, proper defstruct implementation, also they clarified significantly the buffer structure
17:56 asciilifeform i dun see what good any of these do outside of an actual lispm
17:57 asciilifeform it's like that mircea_popescu article re running dishwasher from tank water
17:57 mircea_popescu presumably they do the good where one can at least read through and not want to hurt self ?
17:57 asciilifeform it wants city pressure
17:57 phf "hey man i just drive this tank, i don't know what makes it work" ok then.
17:58 asciilifeform phf: in all fairness, i barfed trying to read sbcl also
17:58 asciilifeform pc lisps are more or less all revolting to read.
17:58 asciilifeform imho.
17:59 phf mircea_popescu: to be fair both xemacs and emacs of that vintage are the height of readable elegance, compared to emacs of any later period
18:00 phf so whatever lucid did on top of emacs code was probably an improvement
18:00 asciilifeform phf: i'm curious re the politics of the continuing schism. what do the xemacsits and the orig-emacsists actually disagree on in modern day ?
18:00 mircea_popescu phf wait, which is it ?
18:01 phf which whach?
18:01 phf asciilifeform nfi
18:01 mircea_popescu you say a) emacs of 1990s were height of elegance andf b) whatever lucid did was improvement
18:01 mircea_popescu pick one ?
18:03 phf actually i'm not sure i can, it's been a while since i've seen xemacs internals (i.e. >10 years). the point i was trying to make is that emacs ascii is talking about is a wholy different beats from the 1990s items, which were at the very least not cancerous
18:04 mircea_popescu ah. i dunno, i guess not cancerous in the "but i got id saying im female" sense ; but very much had the clap.
18:04 asciilifeform this is tempting me to excavate ancient emacses..
18:05 mircea_popescu in the EXACT http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-09#1767895 sense of, "well i dunno what to do with this data and so here's me warping a vector into a string"
18:05 a111 Logged on 2018-01-09 20:48 mircea_popescu: "# fillerchar: A chosen special filler character to be used. This character is assumed to have no occurrence in the given plaintextstring and is not alphabetical." << holyshit wat.
18:05 phf so emacs had some architecture, lucid took that architecture and tried making it more of a lisp machine (i.e. better foundation for writing elisp applications), then they tried pulling google.vs.linus and failed
18:05 mircea_popescu eh nfi, lucid tried to make it a qt app. except qt didn't exist yet.
18:05 mircea_popescu nfw*
18:05 mircea_popescu because "commercial" meant "clicker monkeys" and whatevers.
18:05 phf i can buy that interpretation
18:06 mircea_popescu and rms saw ~no value in supporting x, especially if that was going to break any more of the thoroughly broken bag of fractures they were tending as emacs 18
18:06 mircea_popescu besideswhich, at the time it was entirely unclear x will survive.
18:06 phf x was already supported in emacs by then
18:06 mircea_popescu imo it's a wonder it did.
18:06 mircea_popescu phf this term belies a variety of realities.
18:06 mircea_popescu "supported".
18:07 asciilifeform as supported as now.
18:07 phf nah, definitely not, now emacs has an ungodly amount of xemacsisms in it. variable sized reflowable inline objects, that are also x11 windows and such
18:08 asciilifeform they couldn't embrace&extinguish, so infiltrated and poisoned yea
18:09 phf heh, that's a twist
18:09 mircea_popescu asciilifeform i expect the political divide is 100% xemacs will only accept merger INTO xemacs, which is to say, to get rid of rms, because he's useless / other camp can't get over "rms is useless".
18:10 phf i wonder of customize- facilitiy was already there by 18
18:10 mircea_popescu tbh and fwiw, if i ran the xemacs i would not permit rms anywhere near any sort of merged variant either.
18:10 asciilifeform rms is a mushroom nao, tho
18:17 phf for the curious emacs 18.59 2039069b where's 22.3 is 48010347b (that's just c,h and el)
18:19 phf and looking just at the kernel (and generously ignoring various xlibraries and shitplatforms for 22) 497576 and 1439148 respectively
18:22 shinohai https://lust.agency/ <<< "a goal to enable all human beings on earth to find their perfect sexual partner anonymously." What kind of sense does that even make?
18:23 mircea_popescu "i would like money from the internetz on my own terms kthx"
18:23 mircea_popescu asciilifeform 1990s rms, either. man was possibly the worst middle management i ever saw.
18:24 mircea_popescu and contrary to his grandiose aspirations (which came and went, so not uniform at least), he never was more than that, alcatel drone X on floor Y.
18:24 asciilifeform this is next best thing after ilf & petrov's famous 'cures foot itch, mice, and peeling paint'
18:25 mircea_popescu sure, he's the only one of the cuckarmy that even stepped forward etc.
18:25 mircea_popescu nevertheless, i can't think of any project that actually thrived under his management. systemd tard pm'd circles around a decade's worth of collected rms effort in half a year.
18:26 mircea_popescu this is not nothing ; even if it isn't the something one'd like it to be.
18:26 asciilifeform dunno that rms actually ~did~ anything in past 20+ yr. the man is a living flag.
18:26 mircea_popescu i can accept that terminology ; above statement becomes "of fucking course lucid didn't want an inanimate object seated in the chair"
18:26 mircea_popescu "nor would whatever successor today".
18:30 mircea_popescu phf also, the split didn't happen around 18.59, it happened around whatever the fuck it was, 18.10. there was a period when both lucid and fsf were releasing "newer" minor versions, skipping the other's.
18:31 phf yeah, 59 is the earliest one i have
18:31 mircea_popescu but that was what, 1993 ? iirc jwz item was 1991 ?
18:32 mircea_popescu not to mention they were both proceeding off "alpha" 19 which had been brewing at that time for at least 18 months.
18:32 mircea_popescu meaning you need a 1990s emacs, serious antiquariania over here.
18:33 phf a proper base for genesis!
18:33 mircea_popescu TECMAC!
18:33 phf heh, previous amuzing thread on mr. gabriel http://btcbase.org/log/2015-12-09#1339749
18:33 a111 Logged on 2015-12-09 21:04 ascii_field: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-12-2015#1339543 << r. gabriel was the 'worse is better' guy.
18:34 phf oh ffs, literally down two lines down in the logs
18:34 mircea_popescu ok, here, jwz variant : emacs 18.48 released 18sep1987!!!! off which they started epoch, and 18.55 off which they based both 19 and through that venue lucid version
18:35 mircea_popescu https://www.jwz.org/doc/emacs-timeline.html
18:35 mircea_popescu so the point of comparison would be i guess either 48 or 55
18:35 mircea_popescu apparently mule was originally "nihongo emacs" ? hurr.
18:37 asciilifeform phf: i'd actually rather see a resurrected zwei, than ancient cmachine cruft emacs, really
18:37 mircea_popescu (the whole nihongo affair may be interesting to the student of high functioning autist idiocy because it's to my knowledge the only documented case of japanese being incredibly fucking dense in the sense of "dumber for being smart than if you weren't smart at all")
18:39 mircea_popescu anyway, i suspect this was at the time the true problem : jwz wanted to unicode the japanese way and rms didn't even understand what's being discussed (which -- major fucking failure for the role, incidentally).
18:39 mircea_popescu but, new stockings parade demands my presence, so bbl.
18:45 phf naggum was pro unicode also
18:48 phf mule is probably part of the greater concern within the overal situation which was japanese and unicode
18:50 phf japs hated unicode for own, peculiar reasons, and still mostly do. the solution they were trying to push through on emacs actually supported their peculiar use case.
18:52 phf oh a relevant thread http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-03#1513931
18:52 a111 Logged on 2016-08-03 15:40 phf: the whole font changes meaning take two is coming from the japanese. they were actively promoting this idea back during early unicode standardization days, where there was a strong drive to include every idiosyncratic version of kanji in the standard, because "that's how my family writes it in our last name".

20:01 mircea_popescu phf iirc naggum was very anti-mule
20:03 phf right, anti-mule, pro-unicode
20:03 mircea_popescu well, it's not clear to me his position was ever pro-unicode outside of a platonic object unicode was about as much as smgl was.
20:04 mircea_popescu "computers should do things" "yaaay" "here's the things" "OMFGWTFBBQ"
20:05 mircea_popescu anyway, jwz's own history, self-serving as it is, nevertheless seems accurate to me : mule is what was left once all the inept
20:05 mircea_popescu nihongo they could figure out how to amputate was snipped.
20:06 phf right, platonic unicode, i think it was more aligned even with common lisp's notion of character object or somesuch, than what the spec actually become. i think he might've ranted somewhere about ms fucking it up and such
20:07 mircea_popescu right, basically his internal, sadly unvoiced position was "oh, unicode is what you kids wanna call native lisp character model ? mmkay, i r agree"
20:07 phf hah, you know that might be the gift of his delusion
20:07 phf err gist
20:08 mircea_popescu jesus that phrase came out hard to parse. let's parens : (well, (it's not clear to me ((his position) was ((ever pro-unicode) (outside of a (platonic object (unicode (was about as much (as smgl was)))))
20:09 phf you calling me esl!
20:09 mircea_popescu phf which is the fucking problem with the sort of mind. by avoiding to correctly order output (ie, most significant byte first!!) and ESPECIALLY by failing to correctly filter output (least controversial part is filtered, least copacetic part is passed, NOT the other way around!!!) is what mires technical discussions altogether.
20:10 mircea_popescu phf not you, but future me. i will be senile one day, in 2075, and i might need to read this.
20:11 phf i think somehow lisp symbols tie into this, i'd call it sanskrit thinking, because you also see that a lot in sanskrit. let's attach as much meaning to this symbol as we possibly can, but when we speak the correct meaning will be communicated because the other person is also a vedic god
20:12 mircea_popescu anyway, speaking of roman numeral systems, the dumbest thing about writing is that , doesn't come with a symmetric-comma.
20:12 mircea_popescu NOT EVEN UNICODE HAS IT. i looked.
20:13 mircea_popescu phf in principle and up to a certain degree this can be pulled off. but the management of that degree tree is i'd say the principal job of cultural management. because holy shit the failure modes.

20:16 asciilifeform with the 'suggestively named tokens'
20:17 mircea_popescu asciilifeform the doctrine that "alternative interpretations fall off as the tree is built" has two major weaknesses : a) you'd be surprised how often there's an unexpected fault in the dielectric and b) you'd be surprised how often people get caught in emo insanity.
20:17 asciilifeform plox to expand?
20:17 mircea_popescu let's formalize.
20:19 mircea_popescu suppose you have a set of symbols S1..Sn each with meanings Mij, i in n j in k. suppose you have a grammar G which has one function : if adding element Sx to a string made of q S, it permits you to discern which Sij are thereby invalidated.
20:19 mircea_popescu the interpretative theory (T) states that for all possible strings there is at most one M per present S. those which have exactly 1 for all S are called well formed ; the rest malformed.
20:20 mircea_popescu the PROBLEM with this constructive view of hermeneutics is that a) often G fails in its function and that b) just as often people fail to correctly apply it, impredictably and unreasonably.
20:20 mircea_popescu "cultural management" discussed above is in this model the curation of permissible M overload on given Sn and the construction of G such that T is maintained.
20:23 mircea_popescu a very strong ideal property of this is given in http://trilema.com/2014/the-romanian-language-for-other-people/#selection-245.1-238.5 ; which is a large part of the problem and also serves as illustration -- who the fuck knew that random whore story from 2014 is actually an expose on generative grammar.

22:43 mircea_popescu mandatory tumbler following by nsa ? seems like a decent lulz.
22:43 mircea_popescu let all porn i put in the chan be preserved forever as a matter of "national security" by all teh national-whatevers, why not.

22:46 mircea_popescu "oh, we will look for the strings". which fucking strings ?
22:46 mircea_popescu "this picture contains sicritz in it" "does the lightbulb contain martian dataz also ?"
22:46 asciilifeform would be interesting if there were a way to stuff them bits that isn't screamingly obvious
22:46 mircea_popescu why ?
22:46 mircea_popescu let it be obvious. the only thing it does is it makes it more demoralizing to the would-be eve.
22:47 asciilifeform ( the typical low-bit thing , is readily detectable even if you have nfi re the payload )
