mircea_popescu: literally the aristotelian imperative. the first thing to have moved.
mircea_popescu: possibly your idea of "scales" is tainted by the idiots, "to scale means to be used by a larger cattle headcount". that has nothing to do. to scale means to go up the abstraction tree. an apple is a correct apple if it scales, ie, if the concept of apple follows from it.
mircea_popescu: not so. i can go from everything i do in an infinite string of correct whys to prime logic. broken shit can't do that.
mircea_popescu: sinful is also a proper attribute of incorrectness, because it is literally a headless spawn of the very devil.
mircea_popescu: davout something (convenience, anything else) is correct if it scales, which is to say is derived from the prime mover. anything else - incorrect.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i quite enjoyed flailing for definitions once i realised what the problem was (you can tell i move to arrays at some point in a desperate bid etc)
mircea_popescu: well, a large part of the problem is that strings aren't something.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger lol there you do deanonimizing trilema readership :D

mircea_popescu: davout knows, he poured a wine bottle on my head there for some reason.
mircea_popescu: every girl expands until she can pimp guys to guys and read mail.
mircea_popescu: i don't mean the punters, i mean the site administration.
mircea_popescu: there's a bunch of camho sites that will pay you in bitcoin too i think
mircea_popescu: you don't buy it on credit in the first place, i guess.
mircea_popescu: either very advanced spoof or very advanced real mccoy.
mircea_popescu: (a properly functioning woman is only distinct from a fighter-bomber in that she eats better smelling fuel. everything else -- same, fired from own hangar or boat, virtually undetectable en route, leaves behind trail of devastation etc.)
mircea_popescu: i'm also vaguely curious which 2nd rate herp is going to, in a decade or two, "innovatively" write down "his" ideas about the new novel and the future of authorship.
mircea_popescu: (yes, it's boys and poys, because boy comes from blue not the fucking other way around, what terrorism is this.)
mircea_popescu: and schoolchildren believe "female genital mutilation" === defloration.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno ; i suspect poys die with their hymen intact in that universe
mircea_popescu: the "authorship" bullshit / englithment fiction really went as far as it could go. in fact, a lot further than it should have ever went.
mircea_popescu: in any case should be interesting once the v model takes hold for novel-writing, and no novel is anything but what it was meant to be : a tree.
mircea_popescu: does this mean in spite of mah best effort it's entirely divorced from the other one ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform wait so you liked the story of mark's anal woes ?
mircea_popescu: which means you'll end up with a complicated pile of cutters servicing one photoghrapher.
mircea_popescu: afaik laser welding/cutting already happens under argon commercially.
mircea_popescu: even so, i'd be surprised if you get with less than 0.1% cutting induced blind spots

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's good physics why you can't have a reliable microtome.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger it's not even (just) about the screenplay. the actors, ALL OF THEM, without any exception, can't act. can't talk. can't even fucking block. they look like they came off eggs.
mircea_popescu: watching tv people do "creative" things is like watching laundromat attendants cook.
mircea_popescu: and WHY does everythiong look&feel exactly like black mirror these days! wtf, they went from reality-tv to the same sort of twilight zone docudrama.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger either you recommended that or someone else did. i tried to watch the thing, kicked it out within ~10 minutes.
mircea_popescu: very nice two-year-apart binome of a) girl wanna-be woman in the ustardian vein ; b) girl recounting (retardedly) the failure of the attempt.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski in the end, i wrote a continuation to hanbot 's thing.
mircea_popescu: sooo, i feel like translating ; anyone has a trilema piece they've been wanting in english ?

mircea_popescu: the robot pubescent puella doesn't suffer from the problem, sleeps well through the night.
mircea_popescu: the reason playing loose works in poker is the same reason you can keep a camp dormful of teenage girls awake until 6am by hiding a tape with giggles on it that plays every 5 to 10 minutes
☟︎ mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski ftr, poker needs no such thing as "ai". poker is a deterministic game if you wish, can program machine to play extremely tight, will beat most humans.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes jews are white nao ?! or is this joek because canada is so far up north even the coal's white there. not to mention the pines.
mircea_popescu: but the solution of course would be, i'll register a key for it and have it speak the !!v string.
