a book that connects pythagoras to newton, with proofs for all the nodes in between?
nubbins`: i have no business holding
a degree
assbot: Logged on 12-09-2015 20:29:47; mircea_popescu: but V is the best simulation of how actual math learning happens (in those brains actually capable to learn math) that we ever had as
a fucking species.
trinque: nubbins`: mime types are
a shitty implementation of something that came before it
trinque: seems entirely clear to me that
a better web would be nothing more than something like
a CLIM listener here, and
a network of data sources out there
trinque: had
a thread with gabriel_laddel recently on whether hypertext was even valuable; I hold that it is
nubbins`: "Assays of GD bars are determined by the refiner at the point of manufacture. An assay is likely only to be checked again when
a bar is used as raw material in

a plant manufacturing products like jewellery."

a function I wanna get the result of via
a socket

a battle and take their turn
mircea_popescu: gavin should write
a GIP to improve gold transfer blockspace.

a great game. Just so many different endings.
danielpbarron: cazalla> danielpbarron, what's competitive smb3? << the game can be played "2 player" and each player has
a separate score. You get the most points from time left over on the counter, so it's not usually
a good idea to go back for coins.
thestringpuller: danielpbarron: You ever play Secret of Evermore? That cartridge is worth quite
a bit these days iirc.
trinque: I think the point about data vs code is key, that I might be willing to encounter someone else's data without
a WoT relationship, but I'll be damned if I want to run their code
trinque spend some time last night writing notes on
a WoT+deedbot web of CLOS displayed by CLIM
mircea_popescu: <nubbins`> mp's argument is hey if you're refugeeing, tanzania is just as good as anywhere else << no. my argument is that if you're refugeeing, where you go to refugee discriminates you. if you go to the eu, you're
a scumbag. if you go to tanzania, you're somebody.
assbot: Logged on 13-09-2015 23:06:04; mircea_popescu: "american" is not
a thing, to begin with. he just lives there.
cazalla: thestringpuller, link has changed tremendously, he's
a girl now
thestringpuller: trinque: star fox is
a lot like link. doesn't really change. (i'm under the notion windwaker was
a throwback)
nubbins`: implication is that while you're
a smart guy, you rely on other things to make your smartness useful
nubbins`: you mean you wouldn't move to tanzania if you could milk
a cow?
nubbins`: but... the gameplay's usually there, so they get
a pass
thestringpuller: can't make this dumb up: "surprise surprise. This was already brought up here about 3 months ago. Unfortunately with the Coinwallet Stress Test the other Altcoin businesses will use the results as
a casestudy when they pitch their own blockchain to Fidelity, Citibank ,etc etc."
assbot: Logged on 13-09-2015 23:38:34; diana_coman: gotta say though that I can (and did) get him to freeze by using
a certain tone
nubbins`: man, the final level in this captain toad is
a worthy challenge
assbot: Logged on 13-09-2015 22:42:29; anton_osika: But I will go on in my venture to find
a way to verify my identity.
mircea_popescu: it's like, soviet citizen goes to paris, ahs
a decent meal, then is like... "ima sneak these steaks back into leningrad"

a pair of the sealskin sneakers. She said, 'I'm taking my chance. I really want them and I'm going to take my chance.'"
nubbins`: thinking of
a few things to make w/ it
trinque: mircea_popescu: hm yeah, even that is euphemistically skirting the issue of "was commanded
A, did B"
nubbins`: i found
a jar of kimchi that i made april 11 in the back of the fridge today
mircea_popescu: suppose your wife dies in
a car crash next year. which can happen, as it happens thousands of times each year. was it the kid's failurew that did it ? no ? how do you know ?
mircea_popescu: * trinque [...]
a very angry man about why what I did was below what was expected of me << for the record, i don't think very much of this entire "expectations" verbiage/bs. if you think
a little about it, so would you.
a) what sort of fucking powerless vulnerable schmuck lets himself get into the position of DEPENDING on
a kid ? that's what you're saying. don't say that, not only is it not true it's also very stupid.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: <diana_coman> you mean you get
a teaspoon of honey whenever he has
a tantrum ? :))) << ehehehe see, this is why women are stuck with raising kids.
trinque: oh, nothing's going to stop
a screaming baby
trinque got
a kick in the ass, and
a conversation with
a very angry man about why what I did was below what was expected of me
cazalla: not whenever nor everytime, just when it gets so bad that i'm about to have
a tantrum myself
trinque: boy did I grow up in
a time of cultural transition, lol
diana_coman: you mean you get
a teaspoon of honey whenever he has
a tantrum ? :)))
diana_coman: gotta say though that I can (and did) get him to freeze by using
a certain tone
☟︎ cazalla: and i've made the war face and had staring competition with the kid when having
a tantrum, he doesn't budge so quickly
assbot: Logged on 13-09-2015 21:04:22; cazalla: goes beyond the parents these days though, kids are seen as owned by the community and all that shit, i expect to meet
a lot of opposition and resistance in the years ahead
assbot: Logged on 13-09-2015 20:51:27; cazalla: not at 20 months, maybe 6-7 years of age.. but who knows, maybe i've grown soft having not had
a fight or been punched in some time
assbot: Logged on 13-09-2015 20:47:22; cazalla: trinque, i really don't think they'd understand or be able to make
a connection between their behaviour and your reaction
assbot: Logged on 13-09-2015 20:45:19; trinque: because reason is something you fall out of the womb with, not something carved into your haphazard mess of
a brain
mircea_popescu: "american" is not
a thing, to begin with. he just lives there.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the secret police broke
a dozen display windows down on the main street. that was most of it.
assbot: Logged on 13-09-2015 19:57:55; nubbins`: going apeshit in the streets is generally
a direct result of treatment, either by other citizens or government
mircea_popescu: the people who immigrated into the us ~back when the us was
a shithole~ made it great. the people who immigrated after it was great made it
a shithole again.
assbot: Logged on 13-09-2015 19:49:18; shinohai: I'll bet Islamic extremists are foaming at the mouth hoping to recruit
a few.
mircea_popescu: i am genuinely expecting to see white teens on the open market in the sub-btc range as
a result of all this, which is all the better.

a wildcard.
assbot: Logged on 13-09-2015 19:46:50; trinque: the idea that
a million or more people are going to peacefully integrate with
a country of roughly 80 million is questionable
trinque: til deedbot's regex dun mind
a comma
anton_osika: I'm getting
a new identity with phunctor...
nubbins`: suppose there's 20 people trying to cross
a river. 19 of them can't swim, the 20th is an olympic gold medallist and can lift 5x his own body weight, while swimming.
mircea_popescu: it's the exact sylogism of germany is
a powerhouse i r immigrant there.
mircea_popescu: i hear women live longer, go become
a woman to live longer.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` i don't follow b and
a is
a ridiculous strawman effort to somehow gang b.

a) stay (b) go to tanzania

a smartphone... why leave, right?
mircea_popescu: anton_osika better go on
a venture to find
a way to protect your next one.

a cow milking interdiciton ?
anton_osika: But I will go on in my venture to find
a way to verify my identity.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: anton_osika
a) gpg contracts are already defined, cuz that article ; b) we don't agree.
anton_osika: The meaning of GPG contracts are being defined as we speak, as of those being honoured and those who are not, and I think you might agree that it is
a better contract if it can - as any other contract between to individuals - be honoured in good faith aka. when fulfilled beyond reasonable doubt.
nubbins`: mircea_popescu do you suppose they'd still be holding the sign if tanzania was
a first-world country that also happened to carpet bomb syria?
mircea_popescu: anton_osika the main intellectual pivot here is the notion that "everyone must make it". this is what informs your "what if there's
a solar flare" thing.
