kanzure: perhaps if you tried harder
kanzure: seems to be one of your goals
kanzure: on a totally unrelated note i promise, what exactly is your progress towards nuking california
kanzure: nah i strictly hold myself in higher regard than mircea_popescu no worries there.
kanzure: let me know when you're done admiring mediocrity
kanzure: i've never asked as much; is that important?
kanzure: you think i have not implemented sats?
kanzure: all answers must be submitted in the form of questions, thanks.
kanzure: can you make a more specific complaint
kanzure: mircea_popescu: the trick is convincing everyone to give me their science each day. most people just say "nah you'd die from information overload" but they haven't tried.
kanzure: asciilifeform: you mean... png?
kanzure: i called you an idiot and you gave me money. the non-registration goes both ways.
kanzure: anyway, i agree that the data is in terrible format, should be fixed before dumping 50 TB of crap on everyone
kanzure: i haven't checked if that's the case.
kanzure: do you feel bad knowing that it's for vampire fanfic? is that something you really want to know?
kanzure: huh? asciilifeform said djvu is yes
kanzure: yes but the scihub person isn't do that :(
kanzure: re: throwing out the crap, someone was working on 'compression' (since pdf is awful and highly redundant). he estimated the total data could be 10x reduced.
kanzure: asciilifeform: the torrents are not mine; those are snapshots from either libgen or maybe scihub.
kanzure: asciilifeform: there is a cache of all the papers. anything not cached is snarfed in real-time through ezproxy magic. yes.
kanzure: full-collateralization only
kanzure: you have something against libraries....? i mean other than all the librarians being spineless.
☟︎ kanzure: reportedly 97% coverage of entire elsevier collection
kanzure: it's about ~50 TB total of a large chunk of all papers
kanzure: but it's not downloadable in any reasonable human timeframe
kanzure: well there's some stuff from libgen that is allegedly a backup or mirror if scihub
kanzure: few kilobytes/sec when i looked a ~year ago
☟︎ kanzure: one of the problems is that there's not any high-quality seeders for any of the torrents.
☟︎ kanzure: well i think she was attempting to be anonymous she was just bad at it, back in 2013 and pre-2013
kanzure: well if it's true that i was the origin of her doxx (which is totally possible, i fucked up), that might color her deicsion, although her continuing to talk with me anyway doesn't add hope to that being right
kanzure: i don't think lungs are currently compatible with that idea. is it beyond understanding that such a scheme would require different components?
kanzure: asciilifeform: does mircea_popescu live everywhere or something?
kanzure: e.g. daylength can be shortened by ~1 hour by clever shading
kanzure: re: "right to farm", sunshade can be tiny, can be big, can be over ocean or whatever, all sorts of magic.
kanzure: yeah i tried offering her money for copies of all ~50 TB but nope
kanzure: seems that you think i am here for "true domination". you said so just a moment ago..
kanzure: what value would it be to dominate a bunch of aimless folx?
☟︎ kanzure: do you have a specific problem with megalomania? or am i going to get a zen butt statement about balance in reply..
☟︎ kanzure: have i claimed that i am going to move the earth? what?
kanzure: is three degrees enough for that
kanzure: wouldn't roasting to death interfere with your no-suck computer goals
kanzure: asciilifeform: regarding your preference for warmer climates, is there a limit?
kanzure: no that doesn't work so well; private space ventures would then also be world government instruments.
kanzure: ben_vulpes: well, low-cost non-shading approaches might be <$1B but i have given those less thought. you can deploy nukes for less than $1B (like to change orbit parameters) but that also causes other problems that would be viewed as more extreme than climate change.
kanzure: trinque: i think our disagreement is regarding the level of readiness or detail of a model. your requirement is one for models that are much more mature. i think it would be better if you insist on as much upfront in the future... i'll try to keep that in mind.
☟︎ kanzure: also: around these parts, is it sacrilege to speak about technologies that aren't at the far end of nasa's readiness scale? that might explain a lot.
☟︎ kanzure: isn't it a little early for me to mae such a specific proposal..?
kanzure: why do i need to make a hard statement about a star shade deployment plan?
kanzure: so, for example, there seems to be an assumption that a star shade would *have* to shade asciilifeform. why?
kanzure: i haven't absorbed the implication of logged channels?
kanzure: so why would deploying a star shade and testing it-- perhaps not even on the earth-- preclude understanding what you're doing?
kanzure: i've lost the flow of this conversation.
kanzure: if you consider my existence to be overly taxing to you, perhaps you should drop dead
☟︎ kanzure: ("is it going to shade you?")
kanzure: what part of "why are you going to be shaded?" did you forget to reply to
kanzure: if we're going to talk about cowardly conversation tactics how about "omg you're going to nuke us because you're planning to deploy a sun shade"
kanzure: why would you bring the poor into this
kanzure: eh, i think it would be tested before using it re: climate change.
☟︎ kanzure: the sun shade does not necessarily need to be used between the sun and earth. there are many potential uses for sunshades, some that even provide experimental data without loss of life ~necessarily.
☟︎ kanzure: almost everything can be weaponized. that's not a good argument.
kanzure: ah good thing everyone is omniscient... what?
kanzure: what is the specific complaint about a star shade other than narcissism?
☟︎ kanzure: it's on ye olde todo list and your request will be answered in the order in which it was received
kanzure: i am down with nuclear ablation too
kanzure: except this one is hilarious
kanzure: "Anyways, it doesn't actually do magic swole imparting without at least some exercise" not according to some studies. i mean it depends on how magic you're looking for.
kanzure: happened a looong time ago. ever since "bullet proof coffee" and even before that. really awful history.
☟︎ kanzure: and do you mean cocaine resistance? why would you inflict that on someone?
kanzure: trenbolone is longevity now?
kanzure: my definition of a viable nootropic is one that helps enough to make a better nootropic. so basically they are all garbage.
☟︎☟︎ kanzure: (i mean her term sheet was garbage)
kanzure: she wanted like $80M from me "but not for treatments"
kanzure: have you guys laughed at the bioviva stuff yet?
☟︎ kanzure: a lot of the roid rage fearmongering is just general anti-anger wishful thinking
kanzure: but your timeline is still unreasonably short
kanzure: i suggest using it to source anabolic steroids
kanzure: that's a rather fast timeline
kanzure: then i'll claim crappy peers
kanzure: i pretend to read many languages, does that count?
kanzure: typing quickly is comparatively a lesser concern
kanzure: illiteracy was regarding my inability to read and write
