mircea_popescu: wtf "wrodwise" ?
the only way
to do division is divisor-bitsize
mircea_popescu: we continue comparing
the divisor, adding bits from
the divident's
tail and substracting
the divident until we run out of digits, at which
time we have
the remainder. every
time we substract we mark down an 1, every
time we add digits from
the divident's
tail we mark down a 0.
mircea_popescu: 3. we substract
the divisor from
this fragment of
the divident, obtaning 1 0100 1100 1110 1010 0110 01 - 10 1110 1010 1101 0111 0000 = 10 0100 1000 1101 0010 1001 (aka 2395433).
mircea_popescu: 2. we select
the first 22 bits of
the dividend,
to wit 1 0100 1100 1110 1010 0110 0 and we compare
the divisor
to it. as
the divisor is larger, we add one further bit, obtaining 1 0100 1100 1110 1010 0110 01.
mircea_popescu: 1. we notice
that 349087340 being 1 0100 1100 1110 1010 0110 0110 1100 is 29 bits long. we further notice
that 3059056 being 10 1110 1010 1101 0111 0000 is 22 bits long.
mircea_popescu: this is
the stupidest shit i ever heard. gimme
two numbers.
mircea_popescu: well, it's
the core of
the combustion engine, innit ? continuously-variably-voluminous.
mircea_popescu: there's some common language overload
that seems
to make "mechanism" preferable, but it's slight and who cares.
mircea_popescu: this new item is
to my eyes fundamental pillar of "fit in head", because a
thoroughly well understood mechanism can
then be relegated
to background and built upon.
mircea_popescu: W, precisely, it is
to be obtained.
this is why
the concept of "function" as heretofore used is not useful in republican computing, and we must introduce a new item.
mircea_popescu: oh btw, should prolly formalize
the function/mechanism
thing from yest a bit. so, a function (in
the correct, math understanding, a "procedure" in cs lingo is no different, which is why lisp hasn't "procedures") denotes correct results, but does not connote any particular method of obtaining
them.
this is no good for us, in many military applications, where we must actually specify not merely WHAT is being sought, but also HO
mircea_popescu: i can't say
that i know. what complexity is our current item ?
mircea_popescu: now, good insulation DOES model
the flow of heat, ie
the hotter outer part will cool more before it
touches your sram, so not entirely useless.
a111: Logged on 2017-09-13 17:17 asciilifeform: apeloyee: anything
that beats multiply-then-divide is an improvement, so long as it meets
the basic demands ( constant
time, constant space, NO branches
that depend on input bits, no use of approximations, no massively heavy - 100 loc is a good approx max - code )
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you realise
thermic isolation is a
time function, yes ? eventually all parts of assemblage do end up in
thermic equilibrium,
there's no pill for
this. insulation just makes it
take longer is all.
a111: Logged on 2015-01-18 21:18 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: head-worn displays are considered, by usg,
to be key military
tech (all existing manufacturers of serious - i.e. svga and above units - supply usg exclusively)
mircea_popescu: no, gotta leave something for
the industrious
to gift.
mircea_popescu would be genuinely curious if
this could be done. on one hand
trained girl can do wonders with ass, on other hand
that
thing is fragile as all fuck...
mircea_popescu: "your higheness, have your favourite slave fuck herself in
the ass with it!"
mircea_popescu: (and
to round off
the above : consider
that
the first metallic aluminum was shaped into a box and offered
to
the same person as
the ironclad drawings were offered. whyssat ? cuz
that's how all science flew back when people could control it.)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
there's
two kinds of people -- and only one of
them comes back from
the war
to complain about
the boots.
mircea_popescu: more importantly --
that
the chinese DID
takle over "industry", as well
they should ; but
that survival and prosperity depends on
THIS. let
them have
THAT industry, it's actually a great fit for
them.
mircea_popescu: and broadly speaking --
that without
THIS neither laplace nor
the lathe are happening, period and full stop.
mircea_popescu: and laplace existed BECAUSE OF
THIS not because "i fucking love science" and "you like nerds, fuck one" ie "we want
to get more science".
mircea_popescu: but
the point remains
that
the high performance lathe was invented FOR
THIS not for
that!
mircea_popescu: so :
the faberge egg,
the original, was made in 1885 ; but it was
the continuation and in a sense
the crowing of a current of
thought (ie, culture) and proper civilisation
that reached back over a centry.
☟︎☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: so
the austrian orfevres could make better movements for
their puppets.
mircea_popescu: but
the preoccupations of
the culture at
the
time were such
that INSTEAD he "of his own" "preferred"
to solve some important geometry problemsa
mircea_popescu: dood could have been a general discussing importantly female
transsexuals in
the french expeditionary force
mircea_popescu: hence all
the clock
towers with figurines, and about 50% of german lands gdp.
mircea_popescu: before europe went stupid, and blacklivesmatter all over itself,
there was a major concern with making mechanical life.
mircea_popescu: entirely orthogonal
tech stacks ; and wouldn't you know it
that
the simple man's reaction
to perceptible orthogonality is
to pick one and pretend
the rest dun exist.
mircea_popescu: and no, none of
the "three for five bux, plastic injected and happy face" is in any way competition (or god help us replacement!) for what's here discussed.
mircea_popescu: we're at
the
third pass of midden filtering!
think about it!
mircea_popescu: that "trademark" is now owned by unilever, as you might've guessed, and it's used
to sell items in qatar, as you might've also guessed.
the point being
that
the poor rich arabs are
trying
to salvage whatever's left of
the
tsar's pile of salvaged material,
today.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: but on
the significance front i asked because
the principal preoccupation of
the russian
tsar afrter
the french went stupid was
to rescue as much of
the old world industry stack as possible, which is how jhe ended up with swiss, austrian, french etc manufacturers.
mircea_popescu: anyway, since nobody apparently got
the faberge egg bait, let's put it in
the logs. so yes on
the substance front i asked alf if he knows what it is because it is in fact stained glass, except with gold instead of lead and porcelain instead of glass, ie just like his properly cast key, piston-and-typeface in metal, bulk in porcelain.
a111: Logged on 2017-09-13 19:21 mircea_popescu: way
the fuck cheaper socially
than my stricter "i will only have children in a society where i get
to decide if
they live or die"
BingoBoingo: So long as
Trump can pull GOP
to electoral sweet spot of a little economically liberal and a lotta socially conservative
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well,
the flip is happening Great Again!
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo well, us "parties" history is funny in
that having no proper substance of
their own (let alone ideology, bridge
too far)
they keep osciallting
throiugh
the same zero both. it's like centennial switcharoo game.
trinque: romans would
toss
the duds into slavery, eh? similar outputs?
mircea_popescu: way
the fuck cheaper socially
than my stricter "i will only have children in a society where i get
to decide if
they live or die"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: come
to
think of it,
the arrangement where
the woman is a slave (like every sultan's consort up
to roxana) and her offspring ARE SLAVES
TOO until such a
time father
thinks otherwise (which yes, can be coming of age, if ever) is probably best way
to do it.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> nonsensical-populist. << And not Pantsuit
took over
the party he founded
mircea_popescu: not enough popdensity for populism
to work politically yet.
mircea_popescu: but if it's not fucking obvious
that in 1800 agrarianism is another word for nonsense...
mircea_popescu: jefferson was, in
truth, a bit of a lulzfest after his unseating. somewhat of an early us ron paul / jirinowski etc.
trinque: got
to
take
trip(s)
to paris, etc, didn't she?
mircea_popescu: the pretention
that "they have other
things
to do" a flimsy wrapper over
the obvious "you've nobody
that'd
take you in"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it'd work a-ok for all
the current ronin ones.
mircea_popescu: but
the more general points of "rape" and "racism" were being discussed.
