ben_vulpes: sofiababy: what
the hell is wrong with you
mircea_popescu: the result is a matter of necessity in
those circumstances.
mircea_popescu: nothing interesting can happen on mfc because mfc is composed of a)
the people
there who b) operate under
the delusion
they may make choices.
ben_vulpes: for five seconds, an interesting
thing happened on mfc
sofiababy: and no1 on mfc acknowledgges anything unless its
tits

the lie "Argentina no es un pais pobre", Montevideo's is
the
truth "Montevideo es muy
tranquilo"

mircea_popescu: o hey, so here's a deal, read out
the log
to
them. i'll pay you say a bitcent for an hour.
mircea_popescu: sofiababy hey, do you have voice on your cam
thing or just video ? can you
talk
to
the virgins ?
sofiababy: evry one is selling
time one way or another
sofiababy: dude evry one is a prostitute
to some degree
mircea_popescu: which is why
the whole "men will do anything
to get some" social fiction, with it's attendant "surprises" of
the
thoroughly fabricated sort, "i can't believe far far away somewhere in like japan
they don't". gotta mask
the bitter
truth
that ~woman~ will do anything
to get some. literal anything.
mircea_popescu: let it be stated
that
the deep root of
the whole "prostitution is unfeminist" current stems from about
the same place as "it's in poor
taste
to sell
them lost in
the desert water at extortionate prices".
mircea_popescu: ry because
the race must perish without her
travail: if
the risk of death and
the certainty of pain, danger, and unutterable discomforts cannot deter her, slavery and swaddled ankles will not. And yet we assume
that
the force
that carries women
through all
these perils and hardships, stops abashed before
the primnesses of our behavior for young ladies."

twitch after it was inundated with gamer girl camwhores, but i read
they do well sparking up league of legends, chatting
to virgins and getting
them
to donate
to
their patreon
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-18#1753038 <<->> "Men, on
the other hand, attach penalties
to marriage, depriving women of property, of
the franchise, of
the free use of
their limbs, of
that ancient symbol of immortality,
the right
to make oneself at home in
the house of God by
taking off
the hat, of everything
that he can force Woman
to dispense with without compelling himself
to dispense with her. All in vain. Woman must mar

that reserva, was nice, i still prefer bundy rum (although
the one i like can't be bought now)
BingoBoingo: Still sweeter is watching
the crashing. So much crashing.

thousand dollars with an annualized growth rate of 328% eh. NOT BAD

sofiababy: i want

the cool kids
sofiababy: damn i

mircea_popescu: or more properly speaking i suppose, can you v
that
thing so phf can
then not plop into his ever-growing lisp visualizer because it's not written in lisp and
tee hee ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: trinque can you run <g id="graph0" class="graph"
transform="scale(1 1) rotate(0)
translate(4 15840.7)"> on a dataset composed of log link references / nick references ?
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Ah, most d00ds aspiring
to
tech end up in alt walmart baggery
mircea_popescu: used
to be money, back when "thus britons for lucre fly over
the main". but
these days... "Women have never had money, continue
to have no money, and never will have any money.
The only reason women can “own” property in
this day and age is because you can’t “own” property in
this day and age."
mircea_popescu: through
the following mechanism : "Has it only been four years ?!?!?!?" asks
the boy. "I
think I aged less
than
that's worth", ie, "good use of my
time", ie... a derivative sort of youth elixir.
mircea_popescu: looking retrospectively, i suspect
the great lure of "tech" such
that "boys
turn
to
tech, girls
turn
to poundcake" is in fact
that if well done,
tech seems
to be
the closest
thing one has
to fountain of eternal youth.
BingoBoingo: Ah,
that great announcement where
the leverage had moved
BingoBoingo: Argentina's slogan is
the lie "Argentina no es un pais pobre", Montevideo's is
the
truth "Montevideo es muy
tranquilo"
☟︎☟︎☟︎ BingoBoingo: Next Friday one of
the other enterprises is
throwing a "Welcome
to Uruguay" welcome asado for
the gringo, which I should be much more awake for
than
the end of
the year celebration asado
they
threw at
the cowork which coincided with
the day of my arrival.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, now
that business is baking I'll be
touring
the datacenter
tomorrow.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, if
this were a hotel and I were paying hotel prices...
the minor for hostel structural and chinche issues would not be so easily dismissed, and
there would be wrath
BingoBoingo: Yeah, but reiterating
the problem for log readers.
The hotel/hostel confusion seems
to be a persistent one in conversations.
BingoBoingo: Renting an apartment now would mean either gambling on roomates for
the long haul or undertaking an exercise which introduces wasted hours of solitude not exposed
to languages
BingoBoingo: Also buys
time for meeting roommate capable persons
BingoBoingo: ^ Bonus observation:
The drive
to grow my own
tomatoes, not as strong here. Pretty delicious
tomatoes rather available.
BingoBoingo: watching
the gringo's language learning in real
time.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> amusingly, it msises
the very obvious failure of
the "chinese room" nonsense (yes, searle mc dumbnuts, you don't speak chinese NOW ; but if you followed
the recipe you WOULD, by
the
time you'd stop making errors, actually speak chinese. duh. eternal error of
the childish mind,
http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=from%3Amircea+dynamic+static etc ), but moving on
to more interesting
things : << AHA
the poor hostel staff
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform>
they like
to have both
tracks running, iirc << AHA,
this and rock music appears
to be what shaped most of
the younger local's english language ability. Ingles subtitulo Espanol, Not a very functional
thing,
thankfully only a flash of stink eye pushes
them pack into spanish practice mode.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> afaik pediwikism dun count as 'publication' << Eh, but
the so called deans prolly count pediwiki links as citations in
their minds if not on paper
ben_vulpes: and now for something completely different:
http://archive.is/IEa6u "I have always been fascinated, and a little
troubled, by
the concept of paper money, or fiat currency. If I
think about it
too long it makes my head hurt and I have an urge
to sell all of my
tech stocks and buy gold."
ben_vulpes:
http://archive.is/p526V << certain elements of
the pravda are funny;
the classic socialistoid "assuming
the sale" in "The
truth has been rendered here irrelevant" in regards
to
the /defamation case/, also
the hilarious verdict of ~"you'd have
to be /uniquely stupid/
to not understand
that you're a public figure by virtue of just fucking look at yourself"
a111: Logged on 2017-12-18 00:33 indiancandy1: u didnt predict
this
mircea_popescu: "identity as genus" occurs not when op says something extremely shockingly intelligent or w/e, but when you say "do you understand what you jsut said ?!" and
they retort "not really".
mircea_popescu: so
the whole "understanding" bullshit is a case of utterly misdefined goals.
mircea_popescu: note
that
the
true problem here isn't
that "computers don't understand context" or whatever othjer bl;a bla. people very provably do not either.
mircea_popescu: which is why
towlie of "i have no idea what's going on" southpark fame is very much interpreted as human-like.
mircea_popescu: "understanding" of
the "truely" or any other variety, in
the "human" sense is simply second order prediction. we would readily identify a computer as "hard ai" or "truly" comprehending what's going on if it a) deployed heuristics and
then b) made reasonable (which does not mean correct) predictions about
their likelihood of success.
mircea_popescu: amusingly, it msises
the very obvious failure of
the "chinese room" nonsense (yes, searle mc dumbnuts, you don't speak chinese NOW ; but if you followed
the recipe you WOULD, by
the
time you'd stop making errors, actually speak chinese. duh. eternal error of
the childish mind,
http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=from%3Amircea+dynamic+static etc ), but moving on
to more interesting
things :
mircea_popescu: there is no more fundamental human property
than
the need
to belong ; and since illusions are by
their nature sweet,
there's no more endearingly common characteristic
than misconstrued partisanship.
