asciilifeform didn't make tops in arkanoid as a kid, either, can live with this
mircea_popescu wipes tear from eye, brought forth by how eulora will entertain even the blackhearted heretics who won't "play" it. it is a tear of joyous schadenfreunde.
mircea_popescu: there can't be inmiscible more-than-two-not-same-q piles.
mircea_popescu: what you say doesn't contradict what i say.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: do you ? seems like Mocky's proggy doesn't
asciilifeform: nao we haven't yet the proof, but seems like we can conjecture that if |qa - qb| = 1, then piles with qa and qb are immiscible in any ratio; elsewise, yes mixable, in a ratio that can be found, i suspect, in O(1) .
a111: Logged on 2018-08-24 00:30 asciilifeform: ( currently seems to stick to preying on the bottom half of the bell curve, mostly, but i suspect this won't last )
asciilifeform: didn't even get as far as primes
asciilifeform: 'we saw you got 10 btc and didn't declare, that'll be 900k plz by tuesday' ☟︎
mircea_popescu: "needed" being rhetorical flourish. i don't crush ants because needed.
mircea_popescu: herr heinrich who used to have a nuts and botls factory which hitler took from him because "we had a dreirich younger and better and managing your factory" or which stalin took from him "Because factories don't belong with heinrichs", in the end the same thing occured.
trinque: quite a few, but my meatwot isn't generally representative
asciilifeform: 20th c was century of dekulakizations, where 'these motherfuckers won't give up their hard currency to socialist motherland, let's light fire under their feet', typically shooting was not 1st step, but last step, of algo ☟︎
trinque can't argue it wont happen, or whether I have to shoot somebody breaking in tonight, or...
asciilifeform: ( currently seems to stick to preying on the bottom half of the bell curve, mostly, but i suspect this won't last ) ☟︎
asciilifeform: trinque: makes sense. tho thread wasn't about the inevitable mass implosion, but the erryday 'losing the lottery' where usg decides yer a good candidate for cokemachine
a111: Logged on 2018-08-23 17:59 asciilifeform: i can't speak for what particularly they're manacled to, only for self, tho.
trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-23#1843898 << not manacled, texas doesn't bother me, and I've not concluded yet how far away currency implosion is for the great soviet ☝︎
trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-23#1843771 << ah, hadn't checked the queue in some time. approved (afaik this means your next comment won't require approval) ☝︎
mod6: mircea_popescu: Alright, sorry to keep you waiting here. I'd say Pizarro is fine to hang on to ECU if we can try again in the next say, 60 days. This would eliminate the step of having to buy ECU (which clearly isn't a problem anyway). Otherwise, you can just !!pay. Amount was 1.1bn ECU. I originally bought 1.2bn from dpb, and I was going to hold the remaining 100mn until the end of the year, unless we
Mocky: asciilifeform, at the time, wasn't trying to confirm correctness of problem statement, was trying to deliver useful feature as described
lobbesbot: Logged on 2018-06-10 18:59:23: <diana_coman> so you want to ever mix only same quantity of items and of qualities either both odd or both even so you don't lose anything
asciilifeform: i can't speak for what particularly they're manacled to, only for self, tho. ☟︎
asciilifeform: in reality , obviously 'we have note from hitler, and you don't, suck it'
BingoBoingo: I can't imagine there is a surplus of HR chix capable of working alone or in sufficiently small groups to avoid creating a culture of drama.
mircea_popescu: outsiders can't readily appreciate the sheer POVERTY of all these chosen sons.
asciilifeform: ( auto still elementarily includes odometer an' fuel gauge, can't exactly hide the figure )
asciilifeform: i can picture the intel execs, golf club in one hand and martini in other, 'why didn't we think of this before' 'hey next time let's not just prohibit benchmark, but only if answer isn't what we like' 'brilliant, this will be at next board agenda'
mircea_popescu: and pravda wasn't allowed to publish benchmarks anymoar ?
asciilifeform: apparently the vw people weren't quite 'smart' enuff to try an' prohibit mileage benchmark
mircea_popescu: heh, remember when "car manufacturers", got dekulakized by the pantsuit, resulting in some shit packaged in ye olde "mercedes" "wv" etc boxes, which then didn't work worth a shit ?
asciilifeform: somehow doesn't keep a hobo from climbing fence and busting in erry year or so, but 'hatefact'.
BingoBoingo: Can't forget the organized retailiation strike in Oklahoma City to avenge Waco and Ruby Ridge
mircea_popescu: the official record isn't comprehensive for obvious reasons.
asciilifeform: tho the mechanics of the biology, i suspect, work against it, when d00d 'goes t-cell' he closes in, in rightful mistrust of stoolies and 'helping hands'
mircea_popescu: except you can't liberate anything if !!key you doesn't work
asciilifeform: it isn't as if the 'legit owner' is somehow not cow.
asciilifeform: and not like the other fella's usg.parents didn't give him the airline for free.
mircea_popescu: not like his parents didn't give it to him for free. or the dean did. or htat weird old guy. or someone anyway.
asciilifeform: as i understand, the morons didn't even have the simple lock on the ignition that a toyota has.
BingoBoingo: Inca should have ate less un popped popcorn if it doesn't want to feel the turdbumps
asciilifeform: ( 1980s. wasn't publicized until after the final curtain call, unsurprisingly. )
asciilifeform: the janitor with a pail of petrol, is a t-cell, killing off inca cancer, whether knows it or not. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: otherwise... i didn't even go by bus as a jr high kid, wtf is this.
asciilifeform: i can't resist to ask, if mircea_popescu will say, what he was doing on the bus. what, all 63 porches were in the shop ?
asciilifeform: upstack, i dun buy 'thief doesn't understand property'. chingishan understood property. just unzipped and pissed.
mircea_popescu: there's the man, who tells the woman, "it'll hurt" and then there's the boy, who tells the girl... "it won't hurt"
mircea_popescu: if you read the "social media", 100% the approach of the dweebs would be "i won't take up much of your time, anything"
asciilifeform: lol, feynman didn't
mircea_popescu: they call it "terrorism" and whatever, but all i can see is wediditredditardism. dood doesn't even conceptualize property in any sense above diego rivera's "it's the people's wall!".
trinque heard a tard say exactly "mark of the beast would be so convenient; I wouldn't have to worry about losing my credit card" just the other day
mircea_popescu: can't imagine who'd give an inkling of a shit, besides the republic's incredibly advanced entomology dept.
mircea_popescu: the only question is, why isn;'t mr campos here saying this ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, dood didn't get dragged anywhere, he kept crossing teh border.
Mocky: oh hey, i didn't have the context for that knapsack challenge when I read it in the logs, had no idea what it meant. meanwhile forgot all about it
asciilifeform: Mocky: process scheduler is annoying in re timing the instruction count used by a proggy . but doesn't leak anything if your proggy doesn't data-dependently address or branch.
Mocky: time i can see. space i don't see. max stack + max heap hard space bound, no?
mircea_popescu: "why don't you eat these delicious foods ? they've got meat in them!" "yeah, 80%, the rest is digoxin, who wouldn't eat them!" "you mean you're one of those tinfoil weirdos with the homeopathy ?" "yeah, actually. http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-20#1843215 " " ☝︎
mircea_popescu: the 2000s gutting is in http://trilema.com/2018/wood-impregnated-in-oil-a-metaphor/ ; don't ask about the 1900s gutting, it's too painful to think about
mircea_popescu: i'm making a rhetorical point, it doesn't survive so well minute analysis.
mircea_popescu: THEN at said moment it switched into "here kids, i have this magical method to call books into programs now". these two aren't at all the same thing ; moreover, only one is useful to actual people.
Mocky: doesn't sound familiar
mircea_popescu: back when someone last thought about this, "calling paradigm" wasn't even a problem, because you weren't supposed to fucking call it, you were supposed to READ it.
Mocky: i agree re average developer. stepanov says i video that 1% should write library and 99% should just use. but that's bs. if 99% don't know algos or time complexity, then shouldn't be trusted with anything
Mocky: haven't heard of klein tale
mod6: It wasn't a waste of an hour and a half.
mod6: asciilifeform BingoBoingo : Can you guys address Mr. Popescu's request above here ^. I haven't the slightest idea on that stuff.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-30 14:50 asciilifeform: trinque: erlang wasn't simply about 'uptime', or even 'no pointer arithmetic', it also was the only case i know of where process migration actually worked
mircea_popescu: don't use crapple.
trinque: asciilifeform: don't worry, other half had to get raped on stock options prior to subsequent sale
trinque: (somehow... didn't can trinque)
mircea_popescu: stuff to do in the "den" for the sort of retard who can't figure out by looking whether charger cord reaches the socket or not, gotta try it out
a111: Logged on 2016-02-15 17:58 asciilifeform: specifically how there is no place in usa where one can 'i will pay double for non-monsanto but i don't give a fuck about 'gmo' and i sure as fuck don't want to see homeopathic crud in the shop'
a111: Logged on 2015-09-03 01:37 asciilifeform: the other interesting thing is that the market is segmented in such a way that anyone who doesn't want mcfood ends up paying for ~all~ the alt-crackpotteries, not merely the logical ones
a111: Logged on 2016-11-01 22:03 mircea_popescu: phf no, they just didn't have fish at the fish shop ; the meat they didn't have at the meat shop.
mircea_popescu: it HAS to be "strange" and "weird", otherwise can't make it in the ocean of "woke" shit.
mircea_popescu: hence mormons, "we belive in weird shit, bless our underwear ~~~AND DON'T TOLERATE ANNOYING WOMEN~~~".
mircea_popescu: very much a direct translation of "throwing the curve", ie, "if http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-16#1842058 then therefore prof MP can't flunk as all for not having had done the homework" ☝︎
mircea_popescu: in fact the us is pretty much there, it's just you don't live in "midwest".
a111: Logged on 2018-08-04 14:14 asciilifeform: kurt tank tore out his hair, iirc 'they don't even know how to make machine screws'
a111: Logged on 2018-05-11 21:01 asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: astronomical rents, i suspect, also play a part. it is ~impossible to stay open if you stock anything that doesn't move continuously. specialist shops are the first to die.
mircea_popescu: in any case, let it not be said economy is ~necessarily~ centralizing. if one uses the strand of centralizing devices, it can be. one doesn't have to.
asciilifeform doesn't own much in the way of toys with aftermarket value
mircea_popescu: weren't you going to do an inventory of your midden, to finance something or the other at some point ?
asciilifeform: ( and also not clear that it didn't desperately need burnin' down, for that matter )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it isn't clear to me that jacobins etc actually believed in anyffing other than 'let's burn shit down'
mircea_popescu: basically, "all humans could be any other humans, and if they aren't it's because NOT YET". much better than whatever marat believed in, or the jacobins, or etc. and here by "better" we mean both a) inconsequential, improductive, entirely steriole and b) flashy, marketable
mircea_popescu: much like the united states were stuck because the only king they had avaialble didn't want the job, ended up enthroning a length of poster.
mircea_popescu: rather, tis the necessary blossom of bogart's "all that dun ammount to a hill of beans in this crazy world". the necessary result of the "rationalist" fallacy (seen sprawling in say http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-22#1828645 ) and the century reversal of the penile fixation (from stuffy vienna's "civilised world" anxiety of "what if dad cuts it off" to today's stuffy washington's "civilised world" anxity of "what if it plays t ☝︎
asciilifeform: re 'johnson noise', absolutely troo, and can't think how could disagree
mircea_popescu: how about that! isn't that the greatest pun that ever lived ?
mircea_popescu: because this isn't a practical consideration.
asciilifeform: i'm not in the habit of retrofitting a why to where there wasn't one. i suppose i have one set of jumper settings, she -- another, or i'd be in #darpa or wherever the capons and kanzures live, and not here
mircea_popescu: hey, doesn't need it, but can take it.
asciilifeform: it isn't clear to me that old folx who cash their usg pension in bananistan instead of miami in any meanigful sense 'left'
mircea_popescu: so by this logic, the obvious thing i'd want to do is go to the place where idiots just like him take whores hired for the weekend, to trade my decade+ committed personal whores for their mercenary randos. because totally, i can't hire my own weekend whores if i feel like it, i gotta participate in the best buy of cunt.
mircea_popescu: like, we totally gotta go there someday. because the fact that their local "girlfriend" who "isn't a puta" but "you support, you know, financially" and "don't know if she'll be around in six months, or for that matter two" is immediately gravitating to my girls has ~0 to do with the fact they've been here years and speak less spanish than my bmw, and with the fact that the REASON they never learned it is because they fucking
mircea_popescu: but it is genuinely fun -- even if it doesn't seem so to the victim in the moment, it does retrospectively.
mircea_popescu: doesn't it link "Si nu-i da canoane multe ca cu mine is facute si nu-i da canone grele ca pacatile-s a mele." for you ?
Mocky: mircea_popescu, in the latest trilema piece I can't resolve the selection at the "ammends"(sic) link: http://trilema.com/2014/maramu/#selection-161.1-165.92
