mircea_popescu: i'll
tell you : he's heard some
things, and what i say seems similar. in
that sense, guess what ? it is.
diana_coman: myeah; I meant
that I don't quite see
the basis on which
this guy "sees"
the similarity; but I'll admit I was being harsh
mircea_popescu: and in #trilema better homes and gardens,
today's breakfast idea : cut open aguacate (green plox, not
the black jewishabomination), remove seed, replace with
thinly sliced blue cheese (aoc, plox, not argentinisms) and balsamic vinegar in some proportion. yum!
diana_coman: well, at least
there's so much more ridicule patiently waiting for him
to notice it...
diana_coman: what grace? what
think? what...I??? where?!! lol
mircea_popescu: but why ? he, alex softcheese, a rotten reed just like milord bacon, has
thought just like anyone ever
thinks.
diana_coman has
trouble getting herself
to read past
the
title even, given
the...vibes of
the whole
thing
mircea_popescu: in nucet,
the argument is
that
the empirical measure described is reliable until relied upon, at which point it is unreliable immediately and without remainder.
mircea_popescu: fellow identieis me as you know, "scenariul pesedisto-antenist". right ? on
the basis of something he's read, or w/e, encountered in his daily lyf.
diana_coman: might; or
the EU ...mhm, dunno, peace; or whatever in between; at
the other end one... is ahead of it so can see already where
the future is
diana_coman: mircea_popescu> orcs are slow. <- from my personal experience
this is actually a rather reliable empirical measure of how much someone groks reality as is;
the analogy would be as
to how far away
they are from it, hence how much it
takes for
the "light"
to
travel aka
them
to see it; for some
the splendours of Rome are visible only now so
they still hold
today's Rome
to be
the greatest
thing; others are still seeing
the Habsburg
mircea_popescu: o yeah ? you should see when asciilifeform is not asciilifeform but female 20 years his junior. WITH
TITS!
mircea_popescu: for centuries large open air garbage dumps, yet
the call of
the blood calls on.
mircea_popescu: you never know what
the kids will do.
this is
the definition.
mircea_popescu: the reason it is vehehehery important for
the kids
to keep being distracted by "technology" aka bimbophones is
that ... well... if
they ever were
to look up from zee angry birds...
mircea_popescu: turns out
there's a lot of interesting us history "nobody ever knew".
mircea_popescu: the situation where manhattan may well be run by goldman sach's own boss
tweed but five points is run by will poole and dontcha forget it is well anathema
to
the democrat corruption machine.
mircea_popescu: "clean
the slums" very specifically means -- an effort by
the early pantsuit
to remove local autonomy from
the poor. yes
they'll be just as poor --
the important point is
to make sure
the landlord is one of us not one of
them.
mircea_popescu: ok, well,
there was once a place in new york worth going
to. meanwhile...
a111: Logged on 2016-12-07 15:31 asciilifeform: 'well ~i~! know now
that i'm not an acorn. but do
THE SQUIRRELS know??????'
mircea_popescu: but... meanwhile "they sanitized
the slums", resulting in social sterility.
mircea_popescu: it did. including for
the feminist (ugly
tomboyis streetwalker
that hates men) and for
the woman in
tech (pickpocket distracting
the mark by playing
the whore) and so on.
a111: Logged on 2017-07-12 03:27 mircea_popescu: amusingly --
the chicken stealer (ro gainar, each language
that saw
them has its own word) is
the lowest level of gypsy male qualification. a sort of
transient baccalaureat if you will.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it works fucking admirably
though, compared
to
the soviet approach...
mircea_popescu: the rest of
the "balance sheet",
two bit gainarii /
trading of stolen phones and classmates' inept sexwork is entirely spurious nonsense bolted on
mircea_popescu: actually,
that only works because
the chinese are playing
the role of romanian student's mother, sending over lunchboxes fulla pork and beans without economic counterprestation, accepting self-issued "certificates" in lieu of payment.
mircea_popescu: the whole "western world" is built on
the hope
that nope.
mircea_popescu: because if problem
they'll change "discharged" with "deferred" and nyah nyah.
mircea_popescu: yes but
the pantsuitistan
theory is
that poverty is an absolute bar
to cash repayment and "human rights" are an absolute bar
to фуфло repayment and consequently repayment obligation discharged, problem ?!
a111: Logged on 2013-12-25 21:01 asciilifeform: borrowed -> has
to be repaid. in cash, or фуфло.

the wrong place?
a111: Logged on 2017-11-03 12:08 mircea_popescu: yes futures exist, as a financial derivative. no
the millenials' meat isn't worth money "because human rights and democrcy" ; nor has argentina's masfuturo a financiable value.
mircea_popescu: this can only come
to grief ; and
the name of
the griefbox is "why is mp so arrogant ; we don't yet know whether it was a scam ;
this looks like a serious business because aeron chairs" and other such nonsense amply and insistently documented years ago back when i still vaguely gave a shit about what idiots say and how
the idiot brainbox works.
mircea_popescu: the problem, however, seems
to be
that your mind is actually regressing
to
the mean, and you find yourself in 2017 making
the
type of arguments you'd have readily recognized as an idiot's (not even a scammer's ; some people are
too dumb
to actually scam in

to create a space between
themselves and
their victims, so
they're just fucking everyone over without mens rea for lack of a m
mircea_popescu: now -- it's fine for you
to sorta-kinda keep up with
the logs, now and again, and
trade off
the credit you built historically. nobody gives a shit, per se, people have been failing
to keep up and getting shedded off like so much dead skin ever since day 1.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: yes futures exist, as a financial derivative. no
the millenials' meat isn't worth money "because human rights and democrcy" ; nor has argentina's masfuturo a financiable value.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "stuff
that doesn't exist yet" in
the sense of
the milking of
tomorrow when you own a cow is not "stuff
that doesn't exist yet" in
the sense of davout's isp
that davout neither owns nor will but for 0 reasons feels within himself a swelling indicating
that he's just as good as one who does, and
therefore in a small manner, as if by contagion, he also will. because he "could".
☟︎ davout: bottom line being, i do
think buttfinex is fraudlent, but for different reasons
than
this particular one
davout: aka promises aren't in
themselves fraudulent because
they are promises, failure
to deliver on
the promise is fraudulent
a111: Logged on 2017-11-01 19:11 asciilifeform: davout: no problem with selling items
that may or may not exist or have any connection whatsoever
to reality ?!
mircea_popescu: aw damn i
thought logotron gets
the utf points whatever
lobbes: And if
that is
the case, couldn't it be mitigated
through not having
the exceptions baked into code, but rather in a separate 'exception list'
that can be altered easily?
a111: Logged on 2017-11-02 18:36 mircea_popescu: whole fucking point of intelligence is not
to miss.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-02 19:46 asciilifeform: another is
to mimic a common source of crapola, e.g. defective electric motors.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-02 19:43 apeloyee: you will have
to deal with multipath . narrow spectrum modes is just pretending problem doesn't exist,
they just stop working on destructive interference
a111: Logged on 2017-11-02 19:33 asciilifeform: ^ per asciilifeform's current understanding,
thing is untriangulable unless enemy knows
the freq keying pattern, or is standing in
the near field of your
transmitter.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-02 02:46 lobbes: anyways, for
the wotpastes specifically, I plan
to download and store
those myself from
the get-go (and NOT route
them
through archive.is), seeing as
those are easily 'flagged' due
to
the predictable url.
To alf's point, even if archive.is stays up, diddling is always a
threat. Any bits I can do without it now is +ev imo

trinque: archiver process breaks, can fix, restart, keep munching on work queue
a111: Logged on 2017-11-02 02:31 lobbes: while probably elementary
to most here, I just discovered
that I can send POST requests with curl. One single line!
The simple joys of n00bdom.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, huh, not
that clear in my
text, is it; will update; specifically: with 12 iterations probability
that M-R falsely returns prime on a non-prime is less
than (1/4)^12
apeloyee: i find it worth noting
that doppler reappeared immediately after asciilifeform unrated for inactivity << perharps notification in IRC client on mention
