01:27:43 <procto> at least in their behavior and such
01:27:49 <procto> as well as the worship of the gods
01:28:00 <procto> which has to do with both civilization being river-based
01:28:25 <procto> while cannan is quite markedly river-less (jordan doesn't count. it's barely a stream in places)

01:33:28 <procto> one of the most fascinating aspects of these cultures is that our current conception of good/evil if it even existed then, was not reflected much in their myths
01:33:45 <procto> instead, there was the battle of order and chaos
01:33:52 <procto> where the latter was badder

01:35:27 <procto> ard such
01:35:55 <procto> but of coures he was merely epitomizing the moral of order and law
01:36:22 <procto> so, I really hate the term "judeo-chrisitan"
01:36:33 <procto> especially when someone says "judeo christian values"
01:37:02 <procto> it would be much more accurate to say "germano-romanic values"

03:32:09 <nslater> if anyone fancies watching a film completely devoid of any realism I recommend indiana jones, which was released today
03:32:52 <nslater> they guy survives a nuclear blast by hiding in a frige, and that sets the baseline of believability
03:32:58 <nslater> fridge
03:33:07 <sbp> Indiana Jones has never really been a stalwart of realism now, has it?
03:33:23 <nslater> I can't really remember, this this film takes it to, literally, comic levels
03:33:33 <cre8radix> sbp: nice'n sleezy, erupt, scandalous, chilled but burning!
03:33:54 <nslater> I'm not sure if it was intended to be humor, but I found the total lack of any reference to real world physics to be hilarious
03:34:26 <nslater> he falls down three consecutive waterfalls, in a car, and is only slightly phased at the end of it
03:34:58 <nslater> but the whole hiding in a fridge thing really made me laugh
03:35:17 <nslater> someone should tell the government, we could save billions on anti-nuclear defenses, fridges for everyone!

03:40:02 <sbp> you said that at 16:09
03:40:08 <nslater> it's actually a pretty weird combination, that the film lacks any semblance of realism yet it's historical and archiological facts are, for the most part, bang on and totally based in real life
03:40:11 <sbp> Shakespeare's sonnets were published in 1609
03:40:15 <nslater> well, except the ending, but I wondt give that away

03:43:24 <nslater> actually, the most annoying part of the film is that a crystal skull features fairly prominently throughout (as you might have guessed if you knew the film's full title) but the prop they use is clearly made of perspex or some other light plastic because as indi is tossing it around and gesticulating with it in hand you can visually see that it weighs next to nothing. how hard would it have been for the props department to put some weighting in it, ...
03:43:31 <nslater> ... I would have thought that this kinda stuff was props 101
03:43:52 <sbp> no, it's just that he's really really strong
03:44:20 <nslater> every single scene with that skull I was distracted by my annoyance by the lack of attention to detail
03:44:27 <sbp> he's stronger than your five favourite superheros combined

07:23:19 <_bjoern> I wonder how IE (IE8 in particular) handles header merging with 304 responses.
07:23:40 <sbp> so what happened is that I was walking by a pretty girl—in the http://inamidst.com/whits/2008/pretty sense—and I was overanalysing the situation as usual, wondering what, exactly made her pretty
07:23:56 <sbp> she wasn't particularly remarkable except for a) her beautiful hair, and b) her dress
07:24:08 <nslater> I hope she's reading these logs
07:24:12 <sbp> so I thought about how much this was a personal choice and how much it was an edict of culture
07:24:45 <nslater> you dont think personal choice stems from culture?
07:24:57 <nslater> I can't see how you can seperate them completely
07:24:59 <sbp> and I figured that if we were in tibet or something, the mode of dress would be exceptionally different. would I find it as pretty? probably not. and that's probably more slanted towards culture too, so the reception is cultural as well
07:25:11 <sbp> right, I think they're definitely connected. it's not just towards one end
07:25:29 <nslater> I would have to disagree and suggest that it's almost exclusively based in your culture
07:25:34 <sbp> but I think that obviously if she were born in another place or time, she'd be wearing something completely different
07:25:44 <sbp> ehwhat now? isn't that what I just said?
07:25:48 <nslater> oh
07:26:21 <sbp> rightio
07:26:35 <nslater> I should imagine that if you lived in one of these african tribes you read about you might prefer the women with the biggest lip disks and strongest legs, or whatever, I dont know what is considered attractive
07:26:41 <sbp> so this made me think about some mens magz I'd seen from the 1950s or so
07:27:11 <sbp> the styles of these things are really weird, *except* for those that were produced in California. when I realised that, that was a major, major lightbulb moment too
07:27:21 <nslater> have you seen that comparison of playboy center folds over the years? very funny
07:27:28 <sbp> the modern “look” of women was very much invented in California in the middle of the last century
07:27:29 <nslater> how so?
07:27:30 <sbp> nope?
07:27:41 <nslater> oh, google for it, very interesting

07:27:54 <phenny> nslater: http://digg.com/celebrity/50_Years_of_Playboy_Centerfolds_NSFW
07:27:57 <nslater> yay
07:28:04 <sbp> well in non-CA magazines of that period, people look like they're using flapper styles still, or hard to characterise but completely different styles from what looks "normal"
07:28:21 <sbp> but these ancient Californian women looked very modern
07:28:32 <nslater> hmm, that link is fail
07:28:58 <sbp> yes, very fail
07:29:06 <Arnia> I'm thinking of going as a cocktail made from orange juice and champagne
07:29:14 <sbp> so I was still looking at the girl and thinking about this, and I was like man, I have to write this down in my notebook
07:29:17 <nslater> doesnt that have a name?
07:29:24 <sbp> so I did, and then I looked for the girl again but she'd disappeared
07:29:28 <nslater> bucksfiz?
07:29:30 <sbp> so there must be a moral to that too somewhere

07:30:04 <nslater> heh
07:30:09 <sbp> because I'd been reading about how far Paradise Lost might be an analogy of the civil war
07:30:29 <sbp> and not that the girl was particularly beautiful or anything, but that she managed to inspire what to me what a pretty important idea
07:30:46 <nslater> that could have been your chatup line ;)
07:31:01 <sbp> that fashion is like zero. we don't think of zero as evolving or being discovered, now, but it was

07:47:09 <sbp> bloody 'ell
07:47:34 <Arnia> I do have some capacity to write you know :p
07:47:34 * sbp needs to stop setting challenges to himself... :-)
07:48:33 <sbp> well I already knew you're fast at things (cf. Pluvo reverse-engineering), but the ratio of 50ish seconds to however many days or weeks I've been pondering this is grumble-invoking...
07:48:52 <Arnia> Although having written it, I would quite like it as my epitaph if I were to die tomorrow

07:54:22 <sbp> Arnia: I'd give you a reciprocal epitaph for me... IF I COULD
07:54:31 <cre8radix> can you send me some of your thoughts about paranoia, fear of terror, surveillance and such?
07:54:38 <sbp> cre8radix: yeah. how much?
07:54:45 <cre8radix> sbp: as you like
07:54:48 <sbp> good timing, since I'm procrastinating liek a moongrasel
07:55:03 <sbp> it has to be in radio form, I presume?
07:55:04 <cre8radix> i'll have to translate it, so don't write a book ;P
07:55:09 <Arnia> sbp: just think about what the most important part of your approach to the world is
07:55:09 <sbp> 'k
07:55:12 <cre8radix> yeah

08:24:33 <Arnia> danke
08:27:15 <zachb> soo
08:28:08 <Arnia> zachb: What would your 81 words be?
08:29:10 <zachb> Hmm?
08:29:16 * sbp just went through whits trying to find a candidate 81 words, but no joy
08:29:26 <zachb> What are we talking about?
08:29:35 <sbp> 20:13 <sbp> Arnia: if you could only leave 81 words to posterity, what would they be?
08:29:35 <sbp> 20:13 <sbp> like, a scrap of paper in the desert to be found in a few hundred years
08:29:35 <sbp> 20:14 <sbp> attribution and whatnot is considered part of the surviving context
08:29:46 <zachb> Ah
08:29:56 <zachb> I thought only speaking using 81 words
08:29:59 <Arnia> I'm quite satisfied with mine
08:30:18 <chandler> Arnia: what are they?
08:30:28 <sbp> <Arnia> "With time comes experience. With experience comes meaning. Let none of us waste those few moments we have, nor squander the joy that comes from living to the utmost of one's abilities. When we pass, all we leave are codified accounts of that which we have seen in order to inform and entertain the next generation of souls. Do not let your experience be wasted on the wind."
08:30:29 <chandler> oh, I should just be reading logs
08:31:26 <zachb> Heh, I like it
08:32:01 <sbp> ouch, the 115th Semantic Dream is over 500 words
08:32:19 <sbp> if I could compress that into 81 words, that'd be right on
08:36:33 <sbp> “I have nothing to declare but my writer's block.”
08:40:00 * Arnia considers a second epitaph
08:40:06 <_bjoern> "Dear Friend of the American Iranian Council (AIC) ..." - we would I be a friend of any american council?
08:40:09 <Arnia> For my second grave in the country
08:42:27 <Arnia> sbp: What is your most cherished belief?
08:42:59 <_bjoern> It is never inappropriate to reply with nu.
08:43:35 <Arnia> Perhaps something a little more inspiring?
08:43:41 <_bjoern> nu
08:43:58 * Arnia deletes _bjoern
08:44:44 <procto> I like Feynman's
08:44:48 <procto> "everything is made of atoms"
08:44:58 <Arnia> Except electrons
08:45:02 <Arnia> And quarks
08:45:06 <procto> in answer to leaving a hint for regenerating science in case of some catastrophe
08:45:13 <Arnia> and everything which isn't
08:45:37 <procto> the point is to engender reduction explorations of the physical work methinks
08:45:45 <procto> reductionist*
08:45:51 <procto> world*
08:45:59 * Arnia explodes Feynman's corpse
08:47:23 <procto> you're just jealous
08:48:13 *** mahound has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
08:48:38 <Arnia> Of being a corpse?
08:49:00 <Arnia> Sometimes, but only when I'm in a zombie-masochism mood
08:50:08 <sbp> Arnia: okay, here's something
08:50:09 <sbp> “There's a biography of Sappho where one or two words have been accidentally torn out of the papyrus, in the only surviving version. Because of that, we don't know exactly how many works she wrote. An old joke says that the Odyssey wasn't written by Homer but another man of the same name. Maybe Theopompus made up the name Herostratus. Once I wrote a poem whose first word was ‘Tottering’; for you to know as much as this is a miracle.”
08:50:49 <_bjoern> You need a less elaborate most cherished belief.
08:51:11 <sbp> I didn't see the cherished belief advice before I wrote that
08:51:18 <sbp> now I'm pondering the cherished belief... :-)

08:54:05 <procto> I'm wondering that message should be self-contained
08:54:09 <procto> or can refer to things
08:54:21 <procto> for example, to get feynman's phrase you need to know what atoms are
08:54:30 <sbp> well, see my premise again
08:54:39 <chandler> good luck making it self contained
08:54:49 <sbp> you have to guess. I gave three hundred years as the approximate date
08:54:54 <procto> well, self-contained to a degree
08:55:01 <procto> for example, if I say "cybernetics"
08:55:02 <procto> which i want to
08:55:09 <procto> what will that mean?
08:55:21 <sbp> for example, I was thinking that people might not understand the reference to Theopompus
08:55:32 <sbp> but then I figured people could probably *guess* even if they didn't know the exact reference
08:55:39 <sbp> which is what we tend to do with lost folk tales and stuff
08:56:11 <sbp> it happens quite a lot in reconstructive literature... actually I'm probably preaching to the superchoir here given what you study :-)
08:56:26 <sbp> I mean you don't know what the pqq-plant is
08:56:32 <sbp> but you know it cures a hangover pretty well
08:56:43 <Arnia> Superchoirs.... iz dat lik super-symmetry?
08:56:52 <sbp> more like musical chairs
08:57:29 * Arnia stops the music
08:57:46 <sbp> *bloomph*
08:57:51 * Arnia sits on an interesting chair shaped like an onion
08:58:03 <sbp> that's no chair, that's a space hopper!
08:58:07 * Arnia realises it is a member of the channel and apologises
08:58:13 <sbp> poor Monty
08:58:17 <Monty> if (octopus == software) { GIMP will never match vast bicycle;}
08:58:42 * Arnia replaces plum with an octopus
08:58:49 <plum> replace with whatever generates the file list, so you can tab in the middle of or highlight a section of text and get a list of replacements from other sentences with its context.
08:59:07 <sbp> chandler: you don't want to use the rest of your words?
09:00:17 <chandler> sbp: no. I think stopping short of 81 words conveys a message too.
09:00:28 <chandler> (of course, does the reader know that I was allowed 81 words?)
09:00:28 <procto> sbp: heh, yeah

09:05:02 <nsh> procto, chandler, sbp: recommend me a film
09:05:12 <procto> redbelt
09:05:17 <procto> of those in theatres now
09:05:19 <nsh> chandler is an abbreviation of cabbage handler, clearly
09:05:35 <bancus> I thought he actually made candles for a living.
09:05:45 <sbp> nsh: Breakfast at Tiffany's
09:05:50 <procto> nsh: that's your movie recommendation btw, redbelt
09:06:05 <nsh> procto, checking nowser, thanksuns
09:06:30 <nsh> chandler, bancus: opines?
09:07:07 <procto> does it have to be currently showing? I mean, I can recommend stuff nearly endlessly
09:07:16 <chandler> nsh: manchurian candidate, the original (with sinatra)
09:07:17 <nsh> nah anytimes
09:07:19 <procto> any constraints you would like to place? so I can produce optimal results
09:07:30 <nsh> has to been imagination-fueling
09:07:30 <procto> perhaps give me a list of 5 movies you really like
09:07:35 <procto> so I can tune my classifier
09:07:45 <nsh> mm, i have a lack-of-recall issue
09:08:24 <nsh> watched "Primer" the other day, that was pretty impressive
09:10:11 <procto> yarr
09:10:20 <nsh> enjoyed American Gangster, Miller's Crossing, The Prestige was great, V for Vendetta hit the right buttons
09:11:03 <nsh> these are just off the top of my head which is not very representative of relative-enjoyment, on account of aforementioned untriggered-memory-poverty
09:12:02 <procto> watch Paprika
09:12:07 <procto> it's an anime by satoshi kon
09:12:09 <procto> movie
09:12:35 <procto> http://www.apple.com/trailers/sony/paprika/trailer/
09:12:55 <nsh> mmm, sounds interesting
09:12:55 <nsh> oh man
09:12:55 <nsh> win win win
09:12:55 <nsh> good recommendation
09:13:13 <nsh> in fact, i have (rather) vague memories of once hearing about something like this
09:13:21 <nsh> but never managed to find it
09:13:38 <procto> I really recommend watching it with a good sound system
09:13:40 <procto> or headphones
09:13:48 <procto> susumu hirasawa (the composer) is not to be wasted
09:13:53 <nsh> noted

10:33:56 <Jibbler> you should expect that

10:56:45 <mahound> epic fail
10:57:15 <Arnia> He's referring to Adenosine, but I haven't referred to that myself for years
10:57:16 <Arnia> Hm
10:57:20 <Arnia> Literally years
10:57:28 <Arnia> About 4 or 5 actually I think
10:59:40 <nsh> lolwutIs(Adenosine);
11:00:40 <Arnia> Adenosine was a language I discussed for semantic desktop systems. It was a language concept more than a language
