mircea_popescu: kakobrekla and at any point prior to march 2016 i would have readily believed that. now however, is simply something i can't discern.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: adlai i'm specifically suggesting we better stop flailing emotionally and fucking think, because things are not going well.
mircea_popescu: in the end, what they did was they sparked through the dielectric.
mircea_popescu: HOWEVER we didn't, because hey, maybe they do somethign good
mircea_popescu: should have fucking killed those derps back when they were nobody and losing bitbet bets,
mircea_popescu: adlai wouldja think for a moment ? if miners fork tomorrow, pre-miner-fork trb will not be defensible. because bitfury (you know, kakobrekla's friends) have access to vc capital, and will bridge the gap between us printing press and chinese mining.
mircea_popescu: THENNNNNNN we will have no fucking good choices to make.
mircea_popescu: again. how is this related to what was being discussed ?
mircea_popescu: and how does this relate to what was being discussed ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well, this'd be what i mean. capitulation what ?
mircea_popescu: well, money's a whore, kinda old by now, consequently keeps changing her attire.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller hey, life is good, whadda ya want. partay!
mircea_popescu: adlai i don't see the problem with this objection ? "they are. that's what i'm telling you. you don't use greek bronze weights, do you ?"
mircea_popescu: what you shouldn't do is up known idiots, but few resist the temptation.
mircea_popescu: adlai you can just up unknowns, they'll resolve it soon enough.
mircea_popescu: (no, no, intelligence is not a THING. it is a behaviour. like dancing.)
mircea_popescu: intelligence is an adaptive behaviour ; which is why anyone with a clue would rather spend the time chatting up a random whore or street urchin than some jewish princess or "young exec".
☟︎ mircea_popescu: well... computers of the future will be better, right ?
mircea_popescu: kinda how decay goes : stuff is the butt of jokes and "how stupid can these stupid people be", then next decade - sop.
mircea_popescu: this entire "look what prb does" is so much cosmo kramer from kramerica industries fixing the fire dept. what was that episode
mircea_popescu: i mean yes, it's true that most of the firemen are kids that played with fire trucks. it is however quite pointedly not true that most of the equipment down at the fire station is toy fire trucks brought in by conscientious neighbourhood kids.
mircea_popescu: in roadtrip they go "we gotta take the weirdo - he has a car".
mircea_popescu: in fact, the difference between THAT approach and what actually happens is exactly the difference between infantile and adult life.
mircea_popescu: nobody goes "i'm going to hire joe, he's kinda meh but he has a kickass workstation!".
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller yes, but they don't come with their own home fucking computers.
mircea_popescu: might as well say "it's because pogos", which would be equally flattering just in a different direction and otherwise equally afield.
mircea_popescu: yes, various derps on poorly connected boxes still play with it. this is about as relevant to the discussion as considering what machines aspiring webcomic designers use when discussing pixar or something.
mircea_popescu: massiro it's an interesting theory, apart from the fact that nobody uses core in production, or has for many years now.
mircea_popescu: which, ungenerously enough, seems just a step away from the breakdown specific to shitholes like argentina, where people altogether don't even comprehend words are in any sense meaningful, above and beyond the chirping captive populations of chickens do to reassure each other.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ow english speaker even realises there's a disconnect between what the words mean and what his actions do.
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-03-2016#1433659 << i dunno why you think this odd. as far as my experience goes, 100% of english language literature (long before the days orwell quit and his naive, square jawed colonial subjects took over the pretense of empire) is exactly this "here are our assumptions, which clearly paint us as utterly and hopelessly stupid, let's lampshade it and carry on". i don't think by n
☝︎ mircea_popescu: trinque iirc the bitcoin-derived one had two parts named 1 and 2 which you both need
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes ok but i don't get what you're saying here.
mircea_popescu: trinque iirc it was a little ambiguous because bot ha standalone and a bitcoin-derived shiva set
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform something like "here's a list of my deepest unrelated fears" ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the credits certainly look like a 70s sexploitation thing ; music idem.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the first ten-fifteen minutes are not bad, for the sheer deluge of omnisexual crazy.
mircea_popescu: i have nfi who told the dumbass that sort of behaviour is independent or whatever the fuck she thinks it is.
mircea_popescu just watched the velocity of gary, holy shit she has no problems regular whippings wouldn't have fixed long ago.
mircea_popescu: i saw it in frieda and i thought it's prolly the role, right ?
mircea_popescu: in other news, holy shit selma hayek's an obnoxious, annoying bitch.
mircea_popescu: btw danielpbarron here's a nice idea for article : step by step guide to run your own wp on pogo.
mircea_popescu: those are heretics even according to the orthodox (which literally says - TRUE FAITH. in the name!)
mircea_popescu: it's only THEM that don't get along, it's not about him.
mircea_popescu: i'm kinda waiting for the lulzy moment when "the community" decides he's you know, religious nut bla bla, then it's revealed he hangs out just fine with flaming iconoclasts such as yours truly, famous stake-in-butt practitioners like alf, sunni muftis like yourself, cascadians and what other scandalous outrages there be in this here menagerie
mircea_popescu: "Yea so you are an idiot. There’s no need to comment and make these shitty articles. Who are you to determine what “false churches” are? Religion is something an Indevidul believes in. It is what the said person puts their faith and trust in. I just think you should read up and do your research before posting nonsense. Thanks."
mircea_popescu: in other news, i'm kinda curious what comes of this danielpbarron blog in the end.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo on the basis of that tidbit alone you'd be logically correct.
mircea_popescu: you'd expect the anti-lizard fellow to be anti-diebold definitionally and before anything else. "either paper trial or no vote took place",
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo incidentally, since you're maybe the only guy here that actually gas re us politics : admitting for the sake of this argument that trump really is the you know, tell-it-how-it-is, fight back against the system independent bla bla : what does the fact that he isn't making "electronic votes are not a sufficient way to settle this election" a central part of his campaign ?
mircea_popescu: like it or not - the prince of persia curricula is how a country the size of oregon ended up providing half the engineers hired by microsoft.
mircea_popescu: only to implement gotos by another name in everything all the time
mircea_popescu: i guess the point i'm getting at is that teaching technology is always and everywhere a secondary concern to the human quality of they being taught.
mircea_popescu: INCLUDING a variant which worked on peek and poke in gwbasic.
mircea_popescu: ~1/3 of the kids figured out how to give themselves infinite lives by trashing the ram.
mircea_popescu: of course, meanwhile usability and friendliness and utf and reddit happened, so that no longer works.
mircea_popescu: i am unpersuaded better curricula could have been devised.
mircea_popescu: when i was a kid, computing class consisted of prince of persia.
mircea_popescu: the fact that this model exists and is of anthropological relevancy proves that yes, categorically impossible.
mircea_popescu: shoot as many as you'd like, the sort of sniveling cur that'd become a preacher is abundently provided by the perl cunt.
mircea_popescu: (institutul de tehnica de calcul, one of cluj's tallest buildings, certainly its only proper office building for a few decades (complete with cubicals!) and one of the places where ro was going to be defended informationally from the us!)
