mircea_popescu can't summon
the interest in
the instant case, but by all means.
mircea_popescu: if you say something
to mp, you also can't immediately say what he'll respond, but
this is actually interesting, as opposed
to
the clock jitter, mechanical jumps of chair etc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform which was
the source of my original, "how do you distinguish
this item of furniture from your chair"
mircea_popescu: your usage of it is defensible, but
to declare it a clock seems a little much.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, he's evidently not useful. but he's not a logic gate, either. he's certainly not human.
the fundamental identification/classification of "i will deliver result X
through randomly chosen path each
time" is... rng. at least
to my mind.

this is why on
the long
term
they always either "delete"
their blogs
to start over, or else become insanely
trite (and
then "give up").
mircea_popescu: same problem manifests with
the pantsuit mendacious little shits as with any larger system built on
the same basis.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-31 16:27 mircea_popescu:
the important point here is
that
there can be NO retrospective read of
the history of ideas in any actual discipline
that is both a) longer
than epsilon and b) fails
to discover
the PRINCIPAL bar
to discovery is personal dishonesty.
mircea_popescu: recall at some point was some pompous asshole locklin, "scientist" ?
there's no end conceivable of supply. once one swallows
the "always has choice" usg pill,
that one becomes
this. it's inescapable.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: or of saying anything useful or meaningful, either. orlov similar example, but at least he cycles
the
topics. one day -- expert on boats, next day -- expert on firearms, on it goes.
mircea_popescu: yarvin opted for
the latter ;
this one may be
too
thick
to notice yet, or whatever, i've not looked.
mircea_popescu: this is why on

☟︎ a111: Logged on 2017-05-23 02:46 asciilifeform: but
to display ~existing~
test failures in predictor-algorithm form
mircea_popescu: he's saying
the
things
that could be said, some fraction
thereof, as a function of
the possibility of saying and no more. other exactly identical items are saying other fractions, and will continue
to do so.
to credit
this is
that long discussed error,
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-17#1523269 ☝︎ mircea_popescu: but you're not frankly sitting
there and asking for explanation of perceived patterns in fg output.
mircea_popescu: you actually suspect motl can
think in any sense different from fg plugged in can
think ? why ?
mircea_popescu: in what way do you feel closer
to
this particular item of furniture
than
to your own chair ?
mircea_popescu: i have no idea why rational behaviour would be expected, or rational explanation for misbehaviour would be demanded of items
that clearly lack either agency or reflective capacity.
mircea_popescu: for all you know, orlov lives on a moored boat, and
this dood lives in rms's quarters.
mircea_popescu: but yes, broadly speaking, who has any interest in
them and
their flow of made for
tv snacks.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the cheques consisting of remarkably very little. most of
these hopefuls live in
the most abject poverty, made palatable
to
them by
their idiocy and
the abject poverty surrounding every aspect of
their life.
mircea_popescu: i suspect
the "inteligentsia" as it dreams itself has meanwhile redefined intellectual discourse
to equate
the above wank.
mircea_popescu: like
the unhappy girls of usgistan,
these misfortunate
trannies imagine
they "have
the options" etc.
mircea_popescu: inb4 "tony
told me
today something about sex with girls under 12" in another decade or so.
mircea_popescu: fucking
tony.
to quote from recent
trilema, "And obviously it will
then become, suddenly and unexplainably, a "native"
topic of conversation ailleurs, specifically in such ESL ailleurs as may "coincidentally" but necessarily "forget"
to mention where
they even discovered
this may be a
topic of conversation in
the first place. Oy vey.."
mircea_popescu: "Tony
told me I was a statist because I am a critic of
the Bitcoin.
Tony isn't
the only man who has raised
this accusation."
mircea_popescu: whatever, whoever is dumb enough
to imagine john smith invented religion is called "ustard" for a reason.
mircea_popescu: it's little more
than a restatement of ye olde, dearest dream of all nigger, "we'll get in later anyway:"
☟︎ mircea_popescu very much will refuse
to consider random fucktards who spent 2012 going "oh, who pays for mpex seats" in
the hope
that "hey, i'll weasel my way back in
through peripheral commentary anyway"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: they all parasitize some
topic or other. obama is a constitutional law scholar or how did it go.
mircea_popescu: wasn't ever much more
than alt-flavour "rational" w/e pantsuit flavour
mircea_popescu: dude... nobody gives a shit now, ever will, or ever fucking has given a shit about your retarded usg idiocy. wake up and smell
the coffee, jesus fucking christ, it's like watching imbecile african mamies with dirty bare feet and stupid headgarbs drone importantly about what-they-remember
the preacher said in church.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-17 21:41 asciilifeform: 'Cyber space is an increasingly risky discourse and
therefore will inevitably be securitised.' << exactly what i said: usg stuffed shirt.
mircea_popescu: there's a natural
tendency
to do
the right
thing
that needs lengthy and elaborate stamping out before you get
the full blown jwz.

trinque: if so, how did folks
this corrupt build anything worth having?
mircea_popescu: his ~10 mn retirement went
to a home in martha's vineyard and supposedly some memoirs
to come.
mircea_popescu: this is about as likely as imagining john kerry is a better dresser at home
than when sardined with orcs for publicity photos.
mircea_popescu: amusingly,
the romans also regularly inspected, for 90% of
their history, both bridges and aqueducts (not so different in
ther practice, items). stopped late 300s.
shinohai: Drive
through rural Alabama sometimes.
mircea_popescu: granted,
the idiots here are something else --
they did everything up
to but excluding
the asphalt cover. an exercise in "how
to spend 95% of
the cost
to get 3% of
the benefit"
mircea_popescu: well... car spent one hour on asphaltless road, lost
two
tyres. not fucking acceptabru.
mircea_popescu: i want 200km pitstops for
the car like i want fat old women in my livingroom.
mircea_popescu: ill get
tubes in whatever
the fuck i fucking want
them. but yes,
they
try not
to sell
them anymore.
shinohai: Heh, curious you mention
that about
tires, never
thought of it until now mircea_popescu, but bicycle wheels are
the only place you can still get an inner
tube afaik.

to be fair
the company was not really a honest commercial co, moar like one of
those unofficial usg research institutes,
they proliferated under reagan and died with him
a111: Logged on 2018-01-17 20:43 fromloper: so
there is at least one possible address, gotta
try it
a111: Logged on 2018-01-17 20:32 fromloper: yeah, somehow a lot of potentially interesting people on social media end up mostly posting
this kind of crap
mircea_popescu: and what people who aren't imperial majesties
themselves will do i have nfi.
