mircea_popescu: good thing they keep whining about all the inept consensus events tho, THAT is important.
mircea_popescu: http://irc.netsplit.de/networks/statistics.php?net=freenode << in otheer lulz, freenode lost 20% of its channels late june 2017. THAT is however not something they feel the need to discuss at all, much like the report that they were going to publish coupla years ago about the nsa infiltrated servers they turned up.
mircea_popescu: and speaking of "holy shit can you imagine how that smells", http://68.media.tumblr.com/ef8d57472ee7fe4e7d2c75827aef5324/tumblr_nvtsc6G38p1u2v3gso1_400.gif
ben_vulpes: oh ffs trinque that's hate speech
trinque: can't have anything smaller than walmart employing people
trinque: he'll hang on long enough to fuck up the great again's reduction of the passthrough rate to 15%
mircea_popescu: one of the foremost things 2017 us has to be ashamed of, alongside pantsuited hilarity and friends.
BingoBoingo: Well, no different on that front than Sumner Redstone et al
mircea_popescu: so is that vomit mccain dead yet ? or still clinging to a world that really has no place for him ?
mircea_popescu: and let's not talk of small yellow men from far away.
mircea_popescu: anyway, physics is only broke in the us, and mostly because us is broke. euro physics is doing fine, spending about the entire us welfare budget on things like large lasers, ciclotrons and the like. ☟︎
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2017-09-02 16:41 mircea_popescu: one major point is that other than mpfhf which has been well implemented thanks to peterl, sina and ben_vulpes (and to some degree researched -- speaking of which, still cooking ben_vulpes ?), there's keccak which HASNT yet been implemented much ; and we really could use a fixed-block hash function that's any good.
ben_vulpes: http://logs.bvulpes.com/trilema?d=2017-9-2#197795 << moving, building new command post over the next two weeks; should return to 'contributing member of society' status within the month
mod6: thanks for the update
asciilifeform: s clearly an area of tremendous importance. In fact, I had to switch to an engineering department to work on it, because physics departments are broke and enamoured with ex-string theorist well-fare projects like topological insulators....' ☟︎
asciilifeform: 'There is no will to work on hard problems, which is why technological progress is slowing down and immense resources are wasted on succulent turds like modern “artificial intelligence.” Take non-equilibrium statistical physics, my thesis topic of choice. Working on it is probably an academic death sentence because it is not sexy and because it is very challenging to produce sexually arousing bullshit inspired by it. However it i

mircea_popescu: (which fraction of this via http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-27#1703771 they're not required to declare, as per "fair and balanced" pseudo"legislation" enacted by self-same pantsuit. but it'd be a fair guess half to two thirds of comcast income is entirely fake, govt gifting, putting them at a hefty 20 to 30bn loss a year from continued operations) ☝︎
mircea_popescu: (speaking of subtle differences : wikipedia has a mention of televisa's income (700mn profit over 5.3 billion gross, 2012 figures) but not of nbc's. this is of course not a meaningful omission, IF you're the sort of mentally dull retard that actually takes wikipedia seriously. the word fucking "income" is not on the nbc page.
mircea_popescu: wait, which is the us tv station again ? disney is not for people, nature is not for people... news stations are for ohio blondes... which is the us tv again ?
mircea_popescu: here's an inconvenient fact : more white trash us citizen females under 20 ran off to mexico to be TV stars on televisa than brown trash mexican citizen females under 20 ran off to california to be TV stars on.
mircea_popescu: because whatever the fuck, algonquin round table and saving their stale "jokes" for weeks.
mircea_popescu: but yes, they never fucking imagined THAT is going away. us never managed to write a novel, nevertheless new york hacks off tin alley readily imagined themselves some kind of cultural power.

mircea_popescu: yes, it's "mean", but at least it doesn;'t leave your ass flying as a kite the moment the "everyone wants to be a roman citizen" dries off.
mircea_popescu: so would have the "imaginary planes".
mircea_popescu: chose the wrong thing because "it's what mother cunt would have wanted". except what mother cunt would have wanted is ~always the wrong fucking thing.
mircea_popescu: just goes to show the libertards are actual retards. who the fucking hell picks "headcount" over "metaphysics" as a tool to bezzle, if given the choice. and they did have the choice.
mircea_popescu: it's very vulnerable to border strangulation in a way the republican corporatelandia is not (their scam is "high tech" instead of "job creation")
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo re http://qntra.net/#fn2-7835 : this is both correct and well grounded. pantsuit exists by and for a certain section of us corporatelandia ; which entirely exists of and for "job creation" as the racket through which to launder "public funds" ie fake money printed by fed on the basis of chinese indiscriminate crediting of the us foreign account.
mircea_popescu: due to (), there seems to no actual movement () to compete with ().

mircea_popescu: in other lulz : i was having breakfast outside, and it's raining here like erry other day, utter tempest. the lighning was so strong and so close this time i'm pretty sure i tanned from it.
mircea_popescu: you can tell it's for the future by the vehemently futuristic silver shiny.
mircea_popescu: wtf, what's michelle obama qualified to say ? she exists as "that guy's wife", homemaker ne ultra better homes and gardens!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is like asking "why does this down syndrome case grow so stunted". ever heard of genetics ?

ben_vulpes: pantsuit deedbot for the mentally incontinent: https://verrit.com/
trinque: because the govt HR department is in the midst of the realitywinner distortion field
mircea_popescu: "there isn't an euro firewall" is very much a constructive "there isn't a great bureaucratic conspiracy to kill every man". sure, there "isn't" in the sense it's not working, but strictly due to them being inept. if they could they would and if they could do it any better they'd do it.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> imho the remarkable bit is that there ~isnt~ yet a 'great firewall of' eu (usa, etc) << Eh, not enough for me to feel like newsing on it's own. May support a later newsing
mircea_popescu: "the 5yo boy isn't a criminal because while he lay in wait in the little girl's closet for her to fall asleep and then tried to force a plastic knife in her eye, he didn't have enough force to actually reach the brain. he did leave behind a work on "most efficient ways to kill people" open at the stab-to-eye page in the library, but nevertheless!"
mircea_popescu: that they suck at it is not a mediating circumstance.
mircea_popescu: the argument wasn't "a firewall implemented so and so for purposes this and that". it was "a firewall".
asciilifeform: and refusing to serve 'unamerican' ips
asciilifeform: iirc that was from shittube et al cooperating
mircea_popescu: how about teh "blurred out" swastika ?
mircea_popescu: how about all teh times euroz came here reporting "Can't load x site" or "x video" or so on ?
mircea_popescu: ofcourse there is.
asciilifeform: imho the remarkable bit is that there ~isnt~ yet a 'great firewall of' eu (usa, etc)
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-06#1711007 << just random run-of-the-mill "we aspire to relevancy" euro bureaucracy nonsense, what's remarkable ? ☝︎
ben_vulpes: the sales text on shkreli's ebay listing is pretty hilarious, elevates past 'every jcl'
shinohai: Then we'd have to litter the logz with every Johnny-Come-Lately POS
ben_vulpes: great again coming to an etf near you: http://thereformedbroker.com/2017/09/01/maga-muppet-bait/
ben_vulpes: can't be nyooz, much less old unless it's in the logs
ben_vulpes: shinohai: his selling of it was in the logs already?
shinohai: Paging thestringpuller ... o wait
shinohai imagines some random girl pulling this on mircea_popescu .... would likely wind up in the trash ala my favourite Trilema header
BingoBoingo: Who needs windows if this is the shit you blog
shinohai: Because if your date tosses her poo and winds up breaking your window, should totally fund that.
asciilifeform: 'where i should put this!?' (tm)(r)('borat')
mircea_popescu: totally not "creative" writing trying for attention ploy, or else it wouldn't be on his fucking busking myspace.
BingoBoingo: With the night already ruined, the pair went into the bathroom to try to solve the crappy problem. The windows open from the top, so Smyth’s date — an amateur gymnast — got a boost from Smyth, then went upside down into the gap from above, grasping for her turd."
BingoBoingo: Unfortunately, her poop didn’t make it out the window at all. Due to a design quirk, the bundle instead fell inside the wide gap between the window’s two panes.
BingoBoingo: OMG it's there: "“ ‘I went for a poo in your toilet,’ she told me,” Smyth wrote on his GoFundMe campaign site. But when the toilet wouldn’t flush, she lost her head a little: “I reached into the toilet bowl, wrapped it in tissue paper, and threw it out of the window.”
shinohai: I'm wondering if I should go back to bed: "Woman On Tinder Date Gets Stuck In Window Trying To Retrieve Her Own Poop"
mircea_popescu: anyway, re s.nsa report : working on it, will be published today im pretty sure. sorry for teh delays.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> a kiss is a contract! << The sacred ones are just there witnessing

mircea_popescu: i considered sending it as a qntra, but... in the end i judged trilema better positioned to absorb the fake newsness of it.
a111: Logged on 2017-09-06 15:41 trinque: ha, very nice.
trinque: also any extra water the thing's pulling up would slow it. more mass, more friction. harvey slurped up a big drink before hitting us, and lost what, 120mph of wind in the process.
