mircea_popescu: consider as a fine applicaiton of recursion just how "ugly" (from a purely complexity-boundedness pov) this discussion of, let's recall, originally http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-04#1764040 got. and within a short time. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: quite. nothing wrong with it, as such. but AS SUCH.
mircea_popescu: well, i thought it was being proposed as a forward looking heuristic.
asciilifeform: correct mechanics of model ( aka notation ) for a problem , has the same effect as levers do in mechanical work
mircea_popescu: far be it from me to impugn fiction as the primary driver of engineering effort.
mircea_popescu: so entrepreneurial witch doctor applies self to inventing problems he could actually solve, so as to flip "doesn't" into "does or doesn't".
mircea_popescu: but the statement is that this is an in-universe, ie, fictive model. it dun work except as such.
asciilifeform: right, his algo follows 'dump truck' model. my orig one -- did not, it did exactly as mircea_popescu describes.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform when building a tree, first load up the sig folder, then apply it as a mask on the patch folder, then proceed building with only the patches that passed.
mircea_popescu: don't tell me it came out as "blockchain never had 1mn blocks so why should we care"
asciilifeform: ( same as -- in ada )
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2016/republican-thesaurus-with-vocabulary-and-dictionary/ << added orc and -fu ; comments welcome as always.
asciilifeform: ro as 5th lol
BingoBoingo: That's bullshit of the same vein as the t-shirts that say "Keep East Saint Louis Beautiful"
mircea_popescu: phf i can't understand why this would be, after all ubuntu came about as an attempt to bring linux to the masses.
mircea_popescu: ReadErr and ironically enough, take an item such as say http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-04#1514478 -- it's right there, begging to be bought. but... ☝︎
ReadErr: im honestly surprised no country as started farming humans yet
mircea_popescu: in this competition, inept foreigners (as in http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-02#1745682 ) credit a certain item, which happens to be the fed trade account ; usg controls that -- the stated of * does not. that is the whole and complete story -- whatever usg says state, corporation, individual does. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: there is no such thing as "morals" or "faith". you got a population of caged rats -- if the mysterious feeder person shows up in the morning they eat ; if not, they starve. they've been caged long enough for the the incredible productive assets and unlimited human ingenuity existing in America" to consist of 1001 ways to navelgraze.
mircea_popescu: considering the states attempts to print money work as well as california's at best...
phf: heh "Classification of Dugin as a fascist is justified, regardless of the fact that today the MGU professor frequently speaks not as a primitive ethnocentrist or biological racist. (...) By «fascist» we understand the «generic» meaning of the concept, used in comparatory research of contemporary right-wing extremism by such well-known historians-comparativists [etc.] ☟︎
ReadErr: not gonna lie, im lost as to what printolade is
trinque: lobbes: somehow he's in both deedbot and wallet as lowercase.
danielpbarron: but i can meet wherever as long as you give me some notice
a111: Logged on 2018-01-04 02:04 gabriel_laddel: Daniel can be seen for sales. He has right of way to sell M as he sees fit.
Troika: Can one create a new WOT identity? For purposes of paying "corporate tax/tithe" to TMSR, as opposed to an individual WOT identity.
mircea_popescu: many problems that previously had poor or altogether no solution are essentially resolved now as a result.
gabriel_laddel: Daniel can be seen for sales. He has right of way to sell M as he sees fit. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: somehow the "small" and "prosperous" relationship, as in, "for as long as you're not overpopulated, you can be prosperous" is not-evident to the pantsuit fans of iceland.
BingoBoingo: "While Iceland has had equal pay laws in place since 1961, the new standard is seen as the first time that the small and prosperous nation of about 340,000" << This is a population in the range of "invadable by Uruguay if Uruguay were managed like USSA"
asciilifeform: 'Ms. Valdimarsdottir, an organizer of the demonstrations in 2016, said inequality still persisted in other areas of Icelandic society, such as wealth distribution and representation in the arts and literature, as well as in the upper echelons of business.' << didjaknow.
mircea_popescu: conversely, is there such a thing possible as "distil the wine", in the sense of, "taking a cask of wine in which were put no droppings of any kind, and making it wine-irier, somehiw" ?
mircea_popescu: is there such a thing possible as "distill the wine", in the sense of "putting in less chicken droppings than previously" ?
asciilifeform: it isn't clear to me why any such thing as 'distill the entropy' should be possible.
mircea_popescu: THERE CAN NOT BE SUCH A THING AS ORDERED ENTROPY!
asciilifeform: the ones asciilifeform slept in at uni dorm were jumpable-IN as well as out
mircea_popescu: phf ahaha that thing. "comes alive at night AND FUCKS YOUR WIFE!!!" has endured as a harem ditty.
phf: mircea_popescu: i go to burning man related parties, i'm unfortunately very familiar with what "kink scene" is. at this point using any relevant terminology as applied to self is suspect.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nah, it's a very genuine social dynamic in monkey society (or "african-american" if you prefer), wherein strength dominates the very crowded quarters they're forced into, but speed is more useful for the group (as seen in ferguson, say). consequently, quick fuckers now and again scurry behind the big kahuna and knock him out, just foer the experience of it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i pictured 'knockout' as vaguely like the thing where bratva would 'lose a man at cards'
mircea_popescu: phf you know, "kinky" is rapidly becoming a very dirty word, sorta like "moron" ? 99% of my exposure to "kinky" comes from reviewing bot logs, where the pattern is 1. item self-identifies as "kinky" ; 2. bot goes through HELO/EHLO with them, provides entry point ; 3. they come back with "here is my valuation of $entry-point". because totally, anon bitch on meat market is a) in some kind of position of power and b) being asked
a111: Logged on 2018-01-03 17:51 phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-03#1763208 << i think that's a matter of perspective. i treat is as what knuth&graham call a "recurrent problem", i.e. it can be solved by finding a small case, which is self-similar to the whole. the solution can also be proved by induction
mircea_popescu: same reason us never managed to get restaurants as a thing
asciilifeform: the proximate cause of death was, reportedly, the discontinuation of the jp micropower 68k and accompanying chipset, as that atlantis sank. and not replaced.
mircea_popescu: it's rather likely the boys-best-friend calc went exactly the way of lassie. too expensive, and who is the terrorist reminding people that back in the 60s, every boy owned a dog as training for when he'll own a bitch.
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-03#1763208 << i think that's a matter of perspective. i treat is as what knuth&graham call a "recurrent problem", i.e. it can be solved by finding a small case, which is self-similar to the whole. the solution can also be proved by induction ☝︎☟︎
a111: Logged on 2015-09-10 00:32 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you're mystified as to wtf all of this was, these old gadgets are (literally) 'derive.exe'-in-a-can.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i've always liked ~good~ pocket calcs. ( not as a comp replacement, or a head replacement, but exactly as a 'tactile arithmetization' plaything. ) but no good ones have been made in decade+ or i expect ever will be again.
asciilifeform: phf: be so kind as to demonstrate yours on pehbot for the permalog
asciilifeform: but in very unrelated lulz, https://archive.is/bON1p >> 'It’s a bit absurd that a modern gaming machine running at 4,000x the speed of an apple 2, with a CPU that has 500,000x as many transistors (with a GPU that has 2,000,000x as many transistors) can maybe manage the same latency as an apple 2 in very carefully coded applications if we have a monitor with nearly 3x the refresh rate.' ☟︎☟︎
ReadErr: so is this stuff decentralized as well?
ReadErr: its kind of an odd area of the law, since they are sold as medical devices
ben_vulpes: sounds like you want a holistic personal backup strategy, really gotta go bolting shit to the side with galleries as well?
danielpbarron: i'd suggest you leave it in there tho, as the fee to send is a somewhat significant chunk of that
deedbot: 7C3D6F997D3D965D5A7C74CE9E4BD72145B88987 registered as ReadErr.
asciilifeform: ... same parts as were sold in 1996.
asciilifeform: upstack re dram , in particularly in its role as 'cheap simulacrum chocolate made of liquishit' item -- in august asciilifeform exhaustively researched available sram, and found that most of it ALSO does not get anywhere near rated speed except in sequential burst !
a111: Logged on 2017-08-24 14:41 asciilifeform: ( why to do this ? just as in other cases of 'i can't believe it's not X!', dram is not actually random-access -- all currently sold drams only achieve their rated speed in 'burst mode'; and from that it follows that they are only ever read to fill a cache line; and from this, trivial timing leak etc. and the joys of 'rowhammer', bonus. )
asciilifeform: that particular idiocy isn't even new , existed more or less as-is in 1970s ('timesharing')
mircea_popescu thoroughly ignored "cloud" since the day it was invented. the fact that they failed to address this for a decade does not somehow enact a special sovereignity for them, and make cloud a thing. it is still not a thing, as it NEVER FUCKING WAS. hurr.
mircea_popescu: anyway, to revisit the upstack problem : the solution to rowhammer, 3.0 as 1.0, is not to "make kernel flush all the time, 50% performance penalty" nor the original "solutions" nor any of that crap.
mircea_popescu: in retrospect the whole fucking point of the "game" is evidently "take girl outside of her own safety margins as she herself imagines them" ie fundamental maturation step.
mircea_popescu: seems reasonable. "Dear zek, do your part in building of this great state as we define it".
mircea_popescu: no, because if train car was as marginal as bridge, you couldn't drive it with fucking grain.
mircea_popescu: (and it behooves me to point out that the antique arrangement is transparently evident in the domestic affairs of the french, (and slightly, somewhat, the italians) as late as the 60s.)
mircea_popescu: and let's breadcrumb http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-20#1571682 as it's quite apropos. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: the latter is also known as "how cucks see the world"
mircea_popescu: so then. as the demographic pressure increases, the conceptualization (the MALE conceptualization, as the only kind there is) of the environment switches from land, cowoman separate to landwoman.
mircea_popescu: marrying into the hand of the husband signified that the woman became his property, like any other slave (with some exceptions, such as can't be given in lieu of the damage like common slave), and was achieved through continuous cohabitation (one year with no break longer than two days)
asciilifeform: the traditional picture is that folx went for land. and it ain't as if you can bring it back to old europistan.
mircea_popescu: cuckoldry in the americas has not perceptibly changed, i suspect it's driven by the very land. same exact item as before euros showed up, really.
mircea_popescu: that your arm "dun work" especially in the "as well as neighbour's" flavour <
mircea_popescu: physiology is no criteria upon anatomy. that your arm "dun work" especially in the "as well as neighbour's" flavour is very strictly no proof of "broken arm".
asciilifeform: just as mouse without white cells ain't complete mouse.
mircea_popescu: the заградотряд process doth not promise 0 losses among the guards ; merely ~manageable~ (as opposed to womanageable) losses.
mircea_popescu: eg, argentina celebrates the day of its defeat in the faulklands as "victory over whatever" day.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: dunno, they can just as readily plug embrasures as anybody
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo and which as a general rule were no kiond of victories.
mircea_popescu: anyway. the attempted de-speakabilization of the item previously discussed as "spread your legs and think of the empire" would pretty much be the ~only "cultural contribution" of the new wannabe angloempire over the old one.
BingoBoingo: * mircea_popescu is very fucking happy to see other people can apparently secrete these wonders, i was starting to suspect http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-31#1761935 issues. << It took substantial reading, and re-reading. For the definition of cash used in the standard... There is simply no way USD counts as cash ☝︎
mircea_popescu: which, for the record, is the fundamental feminine device, so much so as to mark a psyche for femaleness in the exact manner cunts mark a body for femaleness
asciilifeform: selective disclosure of 0days to benefit empire -- same as any other wetwork for empire
a111: Logged on 2018-01-02 06:11 ben_vulpes: you know what's surprisingly legal? marketing something as chocolate with no milk in it
diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-02#1762161 <- ugh, I'd never have described ro as streamlined; I get what you mean though and at least the holidays certainly froze everything over there ☝︎
ben_vulpes: you know what's surprisingly legal? marketing something as chocolate with no milk in it ☟︎
ben_vulpes: portion sizes shrinking daily, new ersatz showing up on shelves daily, styled as healthy and pandering to lord only knows what delusions
mircea_popescu: good thing same exact thing's not entirely just as true in southern cali or the outskirts of seattle then.
mircea_popescu: for the record -- it's deeply idiotic to try and prevent children from working. about as stupid as trying to prevent them from fucking adults, actually.
ben_vulpes: but afaik you are correct in that the formulation hasta be "if you can't raise them as a +ev proposition, you didn't have any business doing it in the first place" and just like everything else of +/- ev in this world, there is only one way to know if you can pull it off
mircea_popescu: the whole thing is basically "hey, middle earth worked for the oxford gang, nothing else worked in the post-war period, might as well apply it. what choice do we have ?"
mircea_popescu: the most positive light to shine upon political hacks such as curtis yarvin would be that they "continue" this decay.
mircea_popescu: ular conventions ("simple english" titles that admit a direct and somewhat meaningful interpretation while also referencing literary cannon, generally layeredly [there's both a modern poem as well as an item of that name in the instant case]), but not universally terrible.
esthlos: as in, it's the only sane solution
ben_vulpes discovered today that airpark hangars are not quite as dry as i'd expected
revnja: thanks for voicing me so i can inquire as to such
a111: Logged on 2017-12-25 19:00 mircea_popescu: anyway, for the record and in case it isn't entirely self-evident on the basis of http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-25#1758486 : whenever some self-proclaimed "sovereign" of the fiat sort tries to say "hey, we have a law", the correct response is to a) point out to that self-proclaimed faux sovereign that there exist other just as valid because just as self-proclaimed faux sovereigns (the eu, russia, china, whatever, bucnha them
a111: Logged on 2018-01-01 21:58 ben_vulpes: in other words meaning things news, california is aiming to allow its subjects to voluntarily donate to a state charity and have that count as a credit towards the tax bill in order to preserve its deductibility at the federal level
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-01#1762111 << it'll evidently need moar money to actually buy machines ; as uruguay is not specifically known as a center of iron production the machines will have to be shipped in anyway. so practically speaking, customer that is lazy/unconnected can definitely have machine produced for him, but if one's atop the game shipping his own iron hurts nothing. ☝︎

BingoBoingo: diana_coman: The current bottleneck is getting set up as a business with a bank account.
