mircea_popescu: i don't fucking posit, "oh, they were all people, and here's how peopledom goes, on basis of this example i misrecollect"

mircea_popescu: i don't even disagree! everything ever will match this model!

mircea_popescu: you understand this, if i and you are florentines, and you teach me the facts of life, there's a very fundamental difference between "a. get boat ; b. use lodestone, navigate ; c. find curio ; d. bring back home. e. trade for lots of dough and good things, including a desdemona ; f. strangle her for being a whore" whether i say "i don't know this lodestone model be worth my time" or i say "i dunno this strangling be worth my

mircea_popescu: in short, i don't mean that it dun persuade me "it's the case". it dun persuade me it's worth my time as a model.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't believe there's necessarily an answer at all, let alone in o(1).

mircea_popescu: don't tell me "grew on land king gave you" lest i fall over.

mircea_popescu: i don't necessarily kid if i call my car carsy either.

mircea_popescu: i confess i'm mildly concerned when i don't see these "well understood" shits.

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: i don't know that there ever was a "conviction" that stood other than by sheer disinterest of the convicted.

mircea_popescu: in the end, "the smart don't like the intelligent" is the exact male equiv of ye female http://trilema.com/2016/the-pedoepiphany/ ; or in the immortal words of http://trilema.com/2014/millers-crossing/ " You are so goddamn smart. Except you ain't. I get you, smart guy. I know what you are. Straight as a corkscrew. Mr. Inside-Outski, like some goddamn Bolshevik picking up his orders from Yegg Central. You think you're so godda

mircea_popescu: i don't even remember ~when~ i last compiled apache.

mircea_popescu: i don't think there even exists a publication currently that manages 500 reader-days. period and full stop, the fucking bible doesn't get that.

mircea_popescu: vaguely reminescent of occasional fetard going "i don't know you" / occasional moron going "this trilema article is too long and complicated for my understander".

mircea_popescu: this is pretty fucking amusing to me, too. "oh, i don't understand the kids... and this is my problem". bitch... if i don't understand them i don't feed them, this "you don't understand me" is just about "tomorrow, i die", naught else. let them fucking work ass off to be understood, wtf, you want me to do it ?!

mircea_popescu: i don't get why they can't simply use a mirror / scintillator / something.

mircea_popescu: there's that old joke re "i read good books twice but bad books i don't read at all" which very much applies : if only one knew before looking whether an algo is fast or slow!

mircea_popescu: i don't think so.

mircea_popescu: i don't even need to declassify anything to make it plainly evident shannon kent wasted her youth on java.

mircea_popescu: i still don't see the problem, 1 in 6 failure rate ? was the one closest to the suspected hotbox from prev week ?

mircea_popescu: specific example of why i say war is fun -- not only losses don't count, but their replenishment consists of fucking a buncha women, whether they want to or not.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform aha. tech transferred for i don't recall what economic deal in the 70s

mircea_popescu: i don't understand how these misfortunate kids are supposed to respect the human failures using them for props.

mircea_popescu: i don't expect they'd know what to do to those.

mircea_popescu: i recall folks asking, and you saying ok, rather than "you know what... i don't even recall who made this kernel, maybe i remake it when i have time befgore oking this"

mircea_popescu: should be in http://minigame.biz/jurov/Eulora-client.git i don't expect anyone deleted it

mircea_popescu: i don't expect anything useful could be had in a timeframe shorter than re-doing all of bitcoin. it's a large box etc.

mircea_popescu: because i can see why someone'd go, "eh, whatever, thirty heathens to the cent, i don't even mind paying". as per ye even older http://btcbase.org/log/2015-02-21#1026639 ☝︎

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't know that there's anything wrong with returning gcd of 0,0 as 0. in my abstract mental model wherein 1 is a divisor of all numbers, gcd 0,0 =1, and furthermore 0 can never be a divisor of anything ; but this purely set-driven problem is inconsequential in boole's alt-world afaak.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform IF rm doesn't take much time, THEN i don't see the point of doing any gcd. because r-m is a complete test for what we need, and gcd is not.

mircea_popescu: i don't see the point.

mircea_popescu: i honestly could as well see it, for the same money i don't see it. not like it costs me.

mircea_popescu: i dunno, maybe you're right, and the problem is i've predetermined not to see it. but then again this is a terrifyingly weak argument, because of its association with a dutch moron called søren, whose bright idea it was to propose that the reason you don't see what distinguishes his fsm from all the others is that you don't want to!!!

mircea_popescu: when i discuss some random cuntlet and you propose she's inexistent, i get you concretes. when you discuss some imaginary item, you don't extend the same courtesy.

mircea_popescu: the reason i wrote http://trilema.com/2018/patriarchy-vs-matriarchy-the-straight-dope/ wasn't that i was bored that day ; or that i don't like people. for as long as you continue thinking your value is established by some woman, you will continue having the same ~type~ of problems. they can be colored any way you like, and lives can readily be spent in that coloring exercise ; but as far as substance is concerned they will be

mircea_popescu: i don't recall any villein serfs going around derping about http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-03#1884205 / http://trilema.com/2014/agency-and-other-notes/#selection-31.0-31.271 five centuries ago. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: i don't get it how you expect to multiply some value by a (product of primes +1) and not get an even number.

mircea_popescu: i don't know what you're astonished at ?

mircea_popescu: i don't expect it can be beat for mod work

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-03#1884068 << i don';t expect any of the ten thousand fly eyes has a dec, ever had a dec, or can come up with any actual use for a dec. or for that matter care to know whether their code doesn't work at all. different paradigm!!! ☝︎

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't get it, what about it ? ☟︎

mircea_popescu: cuz that is the fucking job of the producer, i don't care what "american moron's association" "trade practices" are. as long as it's a set, and something'\s shooting, the producer's job is to rape the talent.

mircea_popescu: i'm not even sure how that kelvin thing's supposed to work ; notably bothj knuth and mod6 attempted it, but the problem with starting with a number is that you don't know what to pick.

mircea_popescu: meanwhile i don't even consider fettards delivered to this world in that same five year plan the "reforms" came.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-25#1883039 << always a great idea. people ~should~ have ample opportunity to discover how insufficient, unimpressive, etcetera they are. i don't mean "fair" opportunity, ie, a 9mn% increase over what their environment currently provides. i mean fucking ample. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't think it's underhanded in the sense i don't think underhanded means anything in the context. there's a very strict difference between the priviledged and the unpriviledged position, "only do those things specifically allowed" vs "do all things not specifically forbidden". while you'd expect a customer to only read mail addressed to him, it's iffy whether you expect the post office to read all mail it can

mircea_popescu: i don't think you understand how pervasive this http://trilema.com/2017/little-miss-sunshine/ slash http://trilema.com/2016/vacation/ idiocy is.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't get it ?

mircea_popescu: anyways, i don't expect you have to or should vpatch the ~data~. is thar what you meant by "vectors" ?

mircea_popescu: i don't follow the logic ? are they that big or aren't they that big ?

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i am entirely not proposing any others ~have their mothers do~ anything specific, this or that. i am saying though, and plainly, that the sort of people whose mothers ~don't do what they tell them to~ это уже наполовину тетка.
