'We want to track all our victims, presumably in some sort of set or container, so that we might disinter them later as needed.

asciilifeform: 'Based on the input grapheme codes, the neural networks generate one by one the 30 bit code indicating the presence or the absence of the 30 articulatory features. The output feature vectors are compared with the encoded vectors of the phonemes used. The distance between the output vector and each coded vector is calculated using Manhattan distance function and the system response is chosen as the vector with the smallest distance. T
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform postdoc student ; after my time
asciilifeform: feedstock was that very same Dex

a111: Logged on 2017-11-20 01:01 mircea_popescu: now, i would much appreciate if you took the current bs and ipa'd it properly (it's not THAT hard, ro ipa set is narrow and unambiguous)
mircea_popescu: it's all there is ; then people wrangle themselves into a tizzy trying to "fix" the unfixable.
diana_coman: ah, there is that, certainly
trinque: male filtering being lossy, females costing more to lose biologically
mircea_popescu: exclusion is much more effectual tool in male than female petri dish, which is why men fight and women gossip.
mircea_popescu: not to mention the top-3 men average will beat the shit out of the top-5 or top-3 women average, which is the problem in academia.
mircea_popescu: and average doesn't have to be higheer, at all. if five men are measured by your criteria as 12, 11, 10, 9, 8 and five women are measured 10.5, 10.4, 10.3, 10.2 and 10.1, the female average is still way over the male average and yet the first two Xs will be men.
mircea_popescu: possibly move the average, but it's still not going to have an impact. women alive today compete with people alive today not with the previous generations
diana_coman: and then there are anyway tradeoffs at all points; e.g. male stronger, yes; but generally less agile
diana_coman: to start with I'm not sure there is such total separation between genders as in searches in male gender means advances do not translate further down the line in moving up the average on female gender too , for instance
diana_coman: I can't say I really looked into this; I do remember your trilema article on this idea re searching in the male gender
mircea_popescu: you lower the bar for any objective performance you will get more women qualified ; and conversely the only way to increase female prevalence in any activity is to lower the performative bar.
mircea_popescu: that's the sadness of evo biology : if you have a sexuate species (as the predicate) then you will have sexual dismorfism. because if you don't, why bother with sexuation. if you have sexual dismorfism, you will have a more diverse and a less diverse gender. because that's what dismorfism IS. if you conventionally name the more diverse gender male (as you do) and the less diverse gender female (as you do), then NECESSARILY as
diana_coman: oh, it helps to pretend for a bit longer and then fall from the top of a higher cliff; is that the help?
diana_coman: who the hell does it help exactly
diana_coman: well, it ends up hitting everyone at that, doesn't it?
mircea_popescu: but the lowering of the bar ends up hitting women
diana_coman: but yes, that's my point: it's nothing to do with women per se being there; all to do with lowering the bar
diana_coman: dunno the facts there, but afaik professional cooks are still majority men, aren't they
diana_coman: I guess you can take "women become dominant" as visible threshold of "everyone makes it" but to my eyes that's already late as it were; profession ended long time before that
diana_coman: mircea_popescu> the writing is on the wall : whenever women become dominant in [what used to be] a profession, that profession ends. <- more like whenever *everyone* makes it into something, it's a clear bet that it's not anymore the something it used to be
mircea_popescu: there's no "ill make myself beautiful and then win" solipsistic approach. make yourself really obedient and you'll win.
asciilifeform: i thought bernstein were a bloke
mircea_popescu: all this aside, i'm very performance driven. i care much more about what she does than what she looks like. which is why djb, sexy as she might be, has nevertheless 0 hot factor for me. ill behaved / stupid hotties are not hot to any degree i can personally measure.
mircea_popescu: also, the testosterone issue is visible in much older women. when she was 16, noether was as much helped by the 16 yo's boon as any other girl.
asciilifeform: sad thing is, 'noethers' have a tendency to die fairly young and virgo intacta
mircea_popescu: i'm not THAT attractive.
asciilifeform: then nao we know where the planet's 2.5 allotted noethers went!111
mircea_popescu: ugly-and-not-noether no. but, hard to argue against the company of smart chicks.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-30 21:05 asciilifeform: ( revisiting upstack: one sad irony of beelzebub : the world-class chix, e.g. emmy noether, tend to be square faces. testosterone will do that. )
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-30#1677914 << thread ☝︎
asciilifeform: fwiw not only does mircea_popescu not keep those in his harem, but wouldn't want to . high testosterone ( ever see portrait of e. noether ? )
mircea_popescu: and train.
asciilifeform: this is yet another of those occasions when asciilifeform is half-convinced mircea_popescu posts from a parallel dimension, where females who can keep e.g. 100-state fsm in their skull, are something other than 1 ppb
mircea_popescu: if you wait to sharpen your fangs until you have what to use them on... you won't have the time!
asciilifeform: 'what if i need to hire some engineers and dun have a harem' 'slice lengthwise!!'
asciilifeform: lol it'll be the translationdictionary dirigible thread alloveragain won't it.
mircea_popescu: explicit power relations, including rape as a definite portion of the curricula, all that good stuff.
asciilifeform: afaik the 'private' unis are exactly same, but with fatter idjits
mircea_popescu: education should not be available via "public" ie tax-subsidized channels. let woman that wants to actually learn anything find a master and submit sexually.
mircea_popescu: honestly, i see no problem with this.
asciilifeform: re asciilifeform's local shithole, moar interesting observation -- at one time the comp sci dept was ~90% male. today -- after subjects like 'operating systems', 'compilers' -- where you gotta form a working mental model of what the fuck yer doing, or you have no chance , and the working material is not amenable to 'i'ma randomly hammer until it works' -- no moar.
mircea_popescu: some of them, at least.
jhvh1: shinohai: The operation succeeded.
shinohai: !~later tell spyked I managed to find archive of w3m-js patch (for v 0.4) http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/OFXDG/?raw=true ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the men leave when a profession is deskilled. at least in the weaver example.
mircea_popescu: no but see, hos moar "conscientious" than bros. 49% female faculty = 70% female campus walkers. because they put in more hours etc.
asciilifeform: interestingly they also doctor the Official stats re subj : a casual walk through u of md reveals ~70+% femality, but Official figure, last i saw, was 49 or somesuch
mircea_popescu: what happened a few decades ago was the transition to the macgonagall stage, so to speak. first clowns take over, then women.
mircea_popescu: so -- get ready for no moar academia, very much in liune with trilema bull on topic.
mircea_popescu: eg, textile making survived for as long as weavers were men.
mircea_popescu: the writing is on the wall : whenever women become dominant in [what used to be] a profession, that profession ends.
ben_vulpes: lizards dun like it when you talk like that mircea_popescu
asciilifeform: elative to men’s) that translate into better grades and superior college app qualifications' etc
asciilifeform: howdjaguess, 'At the University of Texas at Austin where I teach, the sex ratio is 54 percent women to 46 percent men. This imbalance may not seem large at first blush. But when you do the math it translates into a hefty 17 percent more women than men in the local mating pool. Speculations about reasons range widely. They include the gradual removal of gender discrimination barriers and women’s higher levels of conscientiousness (r
mircea_popescu: let me guess, "can't find enough males willing to support the fantasy" ?
mircea_popescu: she's just saying a thing. so is this dale dougherty anon.
mircea_popescu: there's some scene in some italian film in which a woman (who is trying to convince a guy she believes is a movie producer to take her pubescent daugther to the movie-making place) says "sfondami tutta". during copulation (she also offered to hold down same daughter for defloration). she does not literally mean that she wants him to tear her uterus through her abdomen and into the light.
ben_vulpes: ahahand in tangentially related hate speech: "assortative coupling on education level does have an unintended down side -- it's a major contributor to economic inequality in the larger society", from https://www.edge.org/response-detail/26747
mircea_popescu: "it is always wrong to question female identity" === "oh baby give it to me hard".

mircea_popescu: heh, the whole "drama" is by now legit kink play.
