mircea_popescu: asciilifeform tell you what, m-r
as found in gpg, with its "12" that are really 11 witnesses is worthlessly useless.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: esthlos look through the various FFA items
as pasted by asciilifeform first ; to get an idea what the item is like. so you don't have to wait till he's finished publishing it all
mircea_popescu: or rather 4.6e-10
as the case may be, since you need two.
mircea_popescu: and
as bonus lulz, we'll never know whether i would have actually paid the whole length or not.
sofiababy: is the romanian calender same
as greek
mircea_popescu: or
as the orthodox tradition says, "durerea-i ziditoare"
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: which is why "surprised by wealth" exists
as a concept. ers wasn't being creative, he was being... you know, manly. filling a pre-existing hole.
BingoBoingo: ^ Bonus observation: The drive to grow my own tomatoes, not
as strong here. Pretty delicious tomatoes rather available.
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
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: 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: asciilifeform idiot site does "pages"
as iof that's fuycking permissible ; so now we'll end up with an archived first quarter.

mircea_popescu: wtf does movie player need unicode for, left
as question for wiser men
mircea_popescu: this is the whole story, both
as to why "physics died" and
as to why and wherefore etc.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-18 02:55 asciilifeform: hey bureaucrat sees ~everythign~
as usg org chart, climbable, naturally has steps! itmust!!
mircea_popescu: now, one of the substandard ones actually SUED. because she deemed that the release of "her private data"
as to how bad she sucked is such an important matter, it precludes the public interest.
mircea_popescu: and he deemed it a major securtity risk. which it was.
as events proved.
mircea_popescu: it's that there were four women ; which were judged by the (absolutely and entirely fair and utterly unsexist,
as a factualmatter beyond dispute) men involved
as : hultgreen, marginal, the rest, substandard.
mircea_popescu: the navy tried to win honestly ; and it failed. it's not JUST that woman, Hultgreen, crashed her airplane in a manner that a) was taught
as incorrect and b) she had been negged for doing in training.
mircea_popescu: there's also the very problematic... consider. the highlight of my entirely negligible theoretical physicist career such
as it was, was pariticpating at this "international contest". it was named... "the first step to nobel prize in physics".
mircea_popescu: this is how coffin liners are mostly produced. for
as long
as you still hold it, it still has something going for it.
mircea_popescu: why did you fart when you farted
as opposed to at any other time ?
mircea_popescu: but it's absolutely and eminently NOT the case that smart people were doing smart people things and some bureaucrats came in su style and "henceforth you shall publish or perish". it was rather the case that some smart people sat around doing existential anguish, and some bureaucrats came by, packaged it
as "publish or perish" and then proceeded to sell it to them (in exchange of an island of manhattan worth of "scientific" s
mircea_popescu: cuz relative size problem, they perceive themselves
as small.
mircea_popescu:
as opposed to what exactly, the experts sex change source of all software ?
esthlos: mircea_popescu:
as to quantum computers, I don't know a whole lot about quantum, but i believe that an information-theoretic approach to spacetime is the best bet to quantize it
a111: Logged on 2017-12-18 01:25 phf: meanwhile, homebrew, the mac os x package manager, finally pulled the final bate and switch. "build from source" option is now marked
as "unsupported" (!!!) in the man pages, everything's being pulled using precompiled archives. building a non-trivial set of packages from source fails along the way with clearly misconfigured formulas. this is possibly of interest only to ben_vulpes (?)
cazalla: one burmese bitch even starting complaining she couldn't do
as many men
as some of the other girls
cazalla: phf, 26yr excellence was nice, but maybe i built it up in my mind to be something other given its cost, i'd be just
as happy to drink the 18 or 15 tbh, not that i drink much at all these days anyway
phf: mircea_popescu: i was saying we should invite him, but i realized that was stupid
as soon
as i said it

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-17#1752737 << laundry is dry ; dishes are wet ; laundry is light, dishes are heavy in terms of dirt -- if you ever fish
as much oil out of a shirt
as out of a plate you oughta see a doctor. consequently laundry keeps better than dishes.
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2017-04-07 18:24 mircea_popescu: no, let's also de-equivocate think. there's two kinds of think, one's a forge/reflow/examination of trees resulting in analytical consumption of inputs with actionable outputs guaranteed ; the other is a neurotic behaviour perhaps best described
as spinning, whereby specific emotional triggers / detriggers are visited in succession. the prussian model was never concerned with the former in any sense, but merely aimed to elimi

as roughly similar to ones with outdoor latrine

as 'iq tests' were used 100yr ago, worked great . i.e. on ~small children~, who don't train for it or expect it ; and worx fine for sorting folx into the 4 basic buckets,
BingoBoingo:
As in there is now a pool over the center of the building ~3.5 cm deep at its deepest.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-17 05:49 mircea_popescu: let's try and understand this : running a house without a bipedal dishwasher, either in personam or
as the role only, to be filled by whichever of the available persons according to some (arbitrary, male-oppressive-phalocentric, etc) criteria results in the situation where you gotta pay 3 cents whenever you use a fork. what has been saved ?
mircea_popescu: aand in other news, "What is the lowest IQ that allows some person to write a peer-reviewed paper that proves that IQ is meaningless? Another curious paradox that I noticed was how the anti-IQ camp fears that acknowledging the existence of IQ would result in some people being classified
as "subhuman" and treated accordingly. However, every single time that I have actually seen somebody being called a "subhuman", this has
mircea_popescu: "Once we get rid of the social construct that men are physically stronger than women, little girls will surely grow up to be just
as strong
as men. We can already see glimpses of this future utopia of equality in many junior sports events where a 12-year-old girl competes with 12-year-old boys and wins!"
mircea_popescu: in a sense taking the garbage pouring out of pantsuit mouth
as such and trying to engage it on merits is not unlike the fool of old, looking at the hand that pointed at the moon.
mircea_popescu: able to locate it easily, and exactly same for pantsuit. they picked "gay" to worship because it's relatively cheap and easy and ineffectual (
as in it dundu nuffin, see also
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-13#1750998 re this) -- because there's virtually no gays
as such.

☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway, back to the upstack, the "science tries to [...] silence all hedonistic and rebellious dissent against it" nonsense is a sad misread of history by people who really should know better. yes it's true that for a while scientists were also puritans,
as a religious inclination.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-31 16:28 asciilifeform: and if someone wants to mention godel etc -- ethical engineer MAY NOT cite godel, EVER, just

mircea_popescu: but it bears repeating : there stands, and well respected for good cause, an century old result of science that shows there can not be such a thing
as an explicitly consistent system.
mircea_popescu: it's evidently not true that "all reads are equally valid" or in any way just
as good ; but it's certainly not the case that science is sufficient per se. this should be directly evident, but even without that : science is, much like nature itself, a SMOOTH process (a valuable reference here being
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-04#1732986 ), and
as such WILL get trapped in local maxima. which is why heuristics is a thing, and
☝︎ mircea_popescu: "A few decades ago before all this current silliness started, the humanities and liberal arts departments in academia were badly losing the science wars. After all, even astrology at least makes falsifiable predictions (to say nothing of the fact that stars actually exist), a hurdle far above the abilities of most of the humanities.

mircea_popescu: "The entire spectrum of thought of those who we call liberals, progressives, socialists, trendoids or Marxists [ie, what we call pantsuit] depending on what is fashionable today, can be reduced to and explained

mircea_popescu: in exactly typical socialist fashion, the fucktards have been selling off this item not belonging to them, "technological progress", repainted
as "hey, new iphone came out!! it's cheaper and shittier and works less!!!"
mircea_popescu: night hall inherited from his granpa with modern teracotta item. THAT was progress, and the knights applauded, and felt proud to fight and die for such a greatly SUPERIOR homeland,
as represented by their lords castle,
as communicated to them by their god damned STOVE. and by, to quote period, "wer kriegt so prompt wie der preusse sein traktament!"
mircea_popescu: but, also just
as important though not in fact exposed for other reasons : stove IS BUILT IN PLACE.
