mircea_popescu: there's a difference between well and wide, for fuck's sake. what is this, intellectual fast fooding
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so why the fuck is "amply agreeable" called "well understood".
mircea_popescu: what the fuck "cryptographic research community", at that ? what's THIS even mean, "cenaclul poetilor judeteni", aka "country poet's club" ?
mircea_popescu: i confess i'm mildly concerned when i don't see these "well understood" shits.
mircea_popescu: me either, tbh. is this also part of the "well understood distinction" ?
mircea_popescu: nowadays, smartphones are within half a second of each other -- jobs fixed paris timekeeping!
mircea_popescu: the original said "The French don't like being famous for their incapacity of being on time ? Let them fix their watches somehow to the same hour, so they quit going about Paris, apparent adults, with half hour's delta among what their watches show. " and i'm willing to attest even as late as LAST DECADE this was a factual state of affairs.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well no, but lots of people ~actually look~ at those images and so on.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform a narrative is a set of interconnected events. as long as no interconnectedness is proposed, it's not a narrative, whether fictitious or factual. so you could say a painting is plastic fiction (while a photography plastic realism). cuz they're not narrative.
mircea_popescu: cheaper than buying another pipe, that's for damn sure.
mircea_popescu: exercises in narrative fiction for the fat and the dizzy.
mircea_popescu: yeah, right. because there is such a thing as experts, and the femstate spawns them.
mircea_popescu: the fucking gall of these imbecile schmucks, then turning around going "oh, you shouldn't amateur"
mircea_popescu: pretty lulzy. you gonna take an article off once you publish to show off both his tests and your results ?
mircea_popescu: ~nobody left that does work, because nobody left that can work, because nobody left that even knows what work fucking looks like.
mircea_popescu: well, one possible explanation is "the smartphone revolution" : it managed to make say a butler overexpensive through the simple application of "why should i practice being stiff when i could just catpic all day". conceivably, if it managed to reduce the butler population to practical zero, it might've reduced others too.
mircea_popescu: the problem with knowledge : as reality scales with the set, knowledge scales with the powerset. not even calling it exponential does it justice.
mircea_popescu: this is obviously an approximation, and it holds as well as it holds. but what can you do.
mircea_popescu: much like lenses, really, the difference between a very expensive and a very cheap glass wasn't substantial, both made of polished glass. but much different in implementation, made of complicatedly boiled glass hand polished over months or not.
mircea_popescu: well, for a long time the movements in cheap and expensive clocks were ~same, with mostly a difference of fineness, precision of machining, to distinguish them.
mircea_popescu: well, what doesn't starve you edifies you or how did it igo.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman if you think about it, that's strictly impossible. they do indeed show delta time each tick, so it's dead reckoning. how the heck would they produce strictly random time.
mircea_popescu: (fwiw, i got trilema comments on feedbot 's rss, so it notifies me if/when anyone says something)
mircea_popescu: induction, neh ? if it cycles k times how's it to stop cycling.
mircea_popescu: lmao. you know, many have tried, none have yet succeeded in guessing as much as a title, as much as a sentence, afore i publish my brew.
mircea_popescu: believe it or not you figure by way of illustration in latest trilema opus.
mircea_popescu: anyone have a ready link to asciilifeform 's celebrated "in order for me to do anything else i'd have to have three trillion dollars in gold brick first" ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's only a witness for EVEN composites tho ?
mircea_popescu: in bernie bernbaum's tems, "what have you done for me lately", and ESPECIALLY "how likely do you look to be able to do much".
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo reading through this crap i see what you mean ; not exactly exultant pantsuit on the receiving end of trump's mercy. seems rather most of the low level bureaucracy will vote trump next, notwithstanding it owes so much to a lengthy clintonism.
mircea_popescu: absolutely 0 sense, why the fuck would "openrelay ddoser" follow 301s
mircea_popescu: and i'm cordially invited to sponsor his delusion. and if i opt not to, he will... RETRY.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: nobody's openrelaying anything. that it's a typical ustard was not in dispute ; that he's doing this manually neither. schmuck is sitting on a couch as we speak, "surfing" ie trying to load pronz "from google", because "he lives in a society" and etcetera.
mircea_popescu: google schmoogle. the ~only life skill of jugasvilli & co consists of clicking the retry button indefinitely.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform wtf tunnel is there between yonkers and queens or w/e ?!
mircea_popescu: i bet you 5 years after reddit went the way of the dnc, they'll still be pressing f5
mircea_popescu: guy prolly takes his pets to the vet, "doc, i think something's wrong, i keep retrying them on the nose but nothing happens"
mircea_popescu: i shudder to think how many times the average toaster is rebooted on an average week of its average life in the average yonkers household.
mircea_popescu: as it happens that's not a bot -- 74.90.192.109 is allocated to some schmuck in yonkers, ny, and the timing delays clearly indicate what these fucktards do : RETRY.
mircea_popescu: there's really no need they should die christened, let alone connected.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile trilema hitlogs for today >1gb. this "every tard a netlink" world sucks.
mircea_popescu: he's as much an "it specialist" as he is a carpenter, painter or politician. "could do anything!!!" as sure as fucksticks, but irl unskilled and unwilling to work.
mircea_popescu: there's some serious fucking issues in the brainbox of the rettardit generation. why THE FUCK do they think i'll take their pompous bullshit seriously ? what fucking fine arts. it's a dodge.
mircea_popescu: From 2000-2005 Jacob did almost no painting, working instead in IT business.
mircea_popescu: Jacob completed his secondary education in Moscow and thereafter studied at Tbilisi State Academy of Fine Arts from 1992-1994. In 1997 he graduated from the Glasgow School of Art (Painting and Drawing) with a BA. Between 1997 and 2000 Jacob showed at various London venues: the Boundary Gallery, Lamont Gallery, Royal College of Art, London Art Fair, Georgia 2000 exhibition at Cork streets Gallery 27. In 1999 his works were sho
mircea_popescu: the sudden political implosion & sinkage of airstrip one is pretty lulzy. "henry 7th powers" indeed.
mircea_popescu: kinda the eternal problem of the count-of-knobs. put it in, now it's in. put it behind a knob, now there's a knob. leave it out, now it's out.
mircea_popescu: aaanyway, i dunno if specifically should or shouldn't be included in mp-wp, but it's certainly there published to be coopted if useful.
mircea_popescu: over a lifetime of mathing those can in fact end up quite heavy
mircea_popescu: you also don't have naked women. but fuck me if im going to start budgeting my visuals now.
mircea_popescu: if anyone's hindered by teh item in their legitimate extersions lemme know.
mircea_popescu: in other unrelated luls, in the country apparently named "el salvador" there exists a town called "la libertad".
mircea_popescu: yeah, wasn't the us in state of emergency since the 70s ?
mircea_popescu: it sounds stupid until you realise that's 100% what's meant by "#metoo"
mircea_popescu: in the same vein, changing diapers is really something the aliens should do.
mircea_popescu: no problem, i suppose for as long as they keep feeding you, you'll keep vegetating in yourself.
mircea_popescu: does deliberate, stubborn stupidity pay something, somewhere ? or is it just the internal "satisfaction" ?
