mircea_popescu: moreover, it's quite evident WHENCE it came in this discussion : we have some problems to solve.
mircea_popescu: no dude, the appeal of "do what i tell you to do" is an artefact of the republic even existing in the first place.
mircea_popescu: of course, education, esp common trunk education, dun include anything as modern as support for this non-1800s approach.
mircea_popescu: large cats are very vulnerable to common pneumococcus, whioch makes one wonder whether it being "the cow disease" in humans is merely coincidence
mircea_popescu: this was fashionable in the 1800s, but to my eye today, better way to think of species is in terms of immune system protein trees.
mircea_popescu: one way to think of species is in terms of morphology, classify-by-what-it-looks-like.
mircea_popescu: so now, considering this 1970-2020 fiddy year bridge -- how is baltimore ? did the black preachers turn it into a garden yet ?
mircea_popescu: 1970s us poverty very much correctly and convincingly depicted, and then when running into latino poverty, he excalims "shit, this is like baltimore or something"
mircea_popescu: yeah, say, i was watching some oliver stone flicks (as part of an aborted integral, jesus that guy sucks, and the 70s suck with him) and in one of them lester (of cucking de niro in casino fame) was a very poor reporter going to san salvador to report on the 1970s maduro thing there (which btw -- last i heard still ongoing).
mircea_popescu: how can anyone be "down a young male" ? that's what the fuck they're for, i'm not "down six boxes" because i got six boxes on atm.
mircea_popescu: you see, highways are impassable WALLS for the lions ; and because "genetic diversity" is the summum bonum for late-roosevelt pantsuits, it then follows there must be "land bridges" erected so african immigrant lions can come into the suburban lions' house an' cuck 'em.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo it might tickle you to find that while the mountain lion (aka, puma) is a species of "least concern" (ie, in the pantsuit designator of animal concern trolling, they figure as "excluded") nevertheless the pantsuit comfortably living off other people's income in and around los angeles are "advising" "the town" on how to "improve genetic diversity" in the "fragmented" populations.
mircea_popescu: this is fucking ridiculous, you can't have a language like that.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman imo you'd rather have them work not in a guarded maner but in an acid-ish manner, and kill them after a set time established administratively.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo nevermind the bomberos, and fi you're going to do it at all do it today.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo so send them emails / drop by offices in person, "hey, look!"
mircea_popescu: every time you load one you have to load the whole pile of everything, for the whole case set. eventually (it stands to reason) you'll find it cheaper to specialize them.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: yes. because ada entities keep getting wrapped in things that end up eating runtime to "elaborate" and whatever ion thios vein.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i suspect you'll end up with them specialized, rather than case-switched, on acct of the overhead involved. however, time wil ltell
mircea_popescu: apache workers ain't jobs ; and i took alf's comments to mean "why are you killing them 9k times/s", which is in his usual style of random assumptive approach, nobody said they'd be killed often.
mircea_popescu: there's nothing to force you to kill them any more often than you benefit from anyway.
mircea_popescu: it is actually better to have a robust life.death cycle than to pretend like death ain't supposed to happen.
mircea_popescu: the problem is, since you can't guarantee workers staying up, you'll need a way to create them anyway.
mircea_popescu: the ustard is that species of moron who imagines anything outside his shithole doesn't, properly speaking, exist.
mircea_popescu: famously, a hungarian was defined cca 1890s, as that species of moron who would rather eat soap wrapped in paper painted his coutnry's flag than french cheese in a plain wrapper.
mircea_popescu: a need to not fucking starve was identified, and the ministry of idle pomp and spurious circumstance has issued a raft of confetty with scribblings on them in this general direction!
mircea_popescu: which is so su it screams, except of course it dun scream audibly enough to penetrate the us moron shell.
mircea_popescu: already in full swing. the one response when getting $item for enslaved usgistani girly is "o wow this is the best $item i ever had".
mircea_popescu: well, it'd be unfair to women of color or some shit to make them.
mircea_popescu: except the us has no train infrastructure to speak of still, and instead of fixing that obvious problem blew wad on anti-car ; and the sligtht advantage submarine had historically is mostly gone, by now sub and ship equally detecvtable.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform still no way to have high performance electric engine without high performance magnet. which is all the lulzier considering usgistani "innovation" in "how to go three miles to the galon by first turning it into a large lithium battery"
mircea_popescu: the us could be producing supermagnets out of discarded starbucks cups just as well as it makes "bridges" or "college graduates" or whatever else they supposedly make.
mircea_popescu: in fact, pressed shitboard supermagnet just as likely as 3d-printed quantum computer or whatever the fuck else. they get all the amateur twerps to pretend like pressed shitboard made houses are 100% true and real houses, what's keeping the imaginary magnets and imaginary computers i wish to know ?
mircea_popescu: leaving aside how the 2011 thread seems to never have return to nobody's concern. coulda baked some quantum computing magnets for the same money.
mircea_popescu: the sheer unmitigated gall to announce "they identified and sponsored". what the fuck's it supposed to do, i identified a need for more sluts and sponsored the creation thereof at two bits a titpair. what, usg,dea is better than me or something, is the hallucination here ?
mircea_popescu: es in Critical Technologies (REACT) program, to develop alternative materials. In 2011, ARPA-E awarded 31.6 million dollars to fund Rare-Earth Substitute projects."
mircea_popescu: in other lulz : "Chinese manufacturers have become a dominant force in neodymium magnet production, based on their control of much of the world's sources of rare earth mines. The United States Department of Energy has identified a need to find substitutes for rare earth metals in permanent magnet technology, and has begun funding such research. The Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy has sponsored a Rare Earth Alternativ
mircea_popescu: was the only way -- they had to be better, i wouldn't lower myself to mine inferior stuff.
mircea_popescu: "do you realise what happens if he keeps mining $50 toys for 35 cent magnets ?"
mircea_popescu: it got so bad in mini-mp household, my father got me a stack of superalloy things. "how can you give that to a child ? you realise what can happen if he swallows one ?" (they were these thin tiny discs with hole in middle, enameled)
mircea_popescu: reportedly centroamericans had same thought when presented with equestrian tin toys.
mircea_popescu: you might've not been the only one, seen a lot of these
mircea_popescu: well no, it couyld happen because hardware is shit, software is shit, electromagnetism, you name it.
mircea_popescu: "i was nitpicking re strength, not the model per se". wth, it's not necessary the model airplane used to test out the worker hive's going to contain the sort of seating inside you can ~rely on~ to see in the finished item.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: you can't go "it doesn't seem to me this architectural model is very strong, seems made of polystyrene". yes, the model's made of polystyrene.
mircea_popescu: it is most wise to start restricted and push out as need be, no sooner.
mircea_popescu: i actually quite like the encapsulation she calls "sjm"
mircea_popescu: i find apache an excellent model for the problem here. the concept of "worker" as used there specifically.
mircea_popescu: if you go "job is the player", then you'll trivially want to support more than 1 player/core. if you go "job is crafting or w/e", you will have 50 cores doing "crafting" one time and 5 another time depending and so on.
mircea_popescu: because there's potentially more types of jobs than cores.
mircea_popescu: a more practical-minded culture, aka "numa' la foale ti-i gindu', sa le-ndopi!"
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't want to play any computer games hedgehogs made.
mircea_popescu: (in the direct, barzaun is the euro hornet, vespa crabro)
mircea_popescu: hence why "goange & gargauni" implies a gender-balanced population, whereas the other'd go better with eg gunnery sgt hartman's job.
mircea_popescu: goange more generic name, and i fear the implication is that female headspace not worthy of such distinctions, to be described generically.
mircea_popescu: so in this sense, inept shit like "o guys, i'm bitcoin jizzus" very much barzaun, whereas inept idiocy like "oh, why should i read log, i am busyman", gargaun.
mircea_popescu: whereas barzaun would be loudly and ineptly flying item, like various carabidae
mircea_popescu: romanians imply various subtle distinction. eg, "gargaun" would be the sort of skittering beetle that digs unseen and ruins structures, like termite or weevil (the folk name of which, "gargarita", very much model for name)
