mircea_popescu: this is
the important point here, be a fucking capitalist already, let
time work for you. drop
this nonsensical "oh, we can waste resources, inflation wiull make up for it anyway" nonsense.
mircea_popescu: let
them have a microscope
that produces something each day.
mircea_popescu: phuctor spits out a few broken keys each day.
this accretes, because it's relatively cheaper
to do it over
time. good luck
to anyone
trying
to replicate it
TODAY.
mircea_popescu: not a matter of reproduce. a matter of produce in
the first place!

the guy putin beat for

teh pantsuits. clinton forever, herdemocracy herp derp...
then gore lost
to bush, nemtsov lost
to putin, nyc lost
to gravity, sads sads sads.)
mircea_popescu: certainly. but no, sometyhing, anything. "in
the past nine years while
the republic choked
the remnants of
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-10#1696459 we at
the soviet biolabs have a) deployed
ten
thousand chips in
the back yard resulting in
three different bactins ; and have
this microscope
that spit out 10k gifs.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: hey, i'd be absolutely exstatic if
the wetware computing progressed along while we're busy with
the hardware ones.
mircea_popescu: my oldest emails are from
the 90s, and were left behind with
the 386 pine-running system
that housed
them. probably of interest, but not really
to me.
phf: (and in completely unrelated
to anything lulz, i just discovered
that
the very first email in my email archive, june 2006 is an allegro lisp
trial license)
mircea_popescu just counted,
trilema (articles only) stands at 10`631`726 words.
this excludes my comments
there and of course whatever my share of
the log's 2mn lines (ie about what, a further 20-30mn words ?) is.
☟︎ phf: the wisdom of
this joke is lost on me.
though past few days
the joke
that's on my mind
the most is,
the one about shtirlitz: borman i shtirlitz pyut vmeste. borman govorit, "shtirlitz, a ved vi yevrey!" "Net!" govorit shtirlitz "Ya russkii!!!"
kanzure: why are you learning about
that from me
phf: my cousin asked me if i'm "into
the whole bitcoin"
thing, and mentioned
that
they now sell houses and stuff using btc. i said i heard about it..
phf: asciilifeform: he fucked up his scheduling, but afaik he's still comming
to dc in november.
phf: asciilifeform: speaking of doing
things with limited resources. fyi i'm in zeptobar slav land with an ivory chip.
mircea_popescu: < kanzure> well who's at
the
top
then << i am, aren't i.
kanzure: it's reason
to shut
them up
mircea_popescu: anyway. people are way
the fuck worse at science
than
they are at politics ; and women ESPECIALLY so. but
the general population sucking is not a reason
to ignore
the field.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i saw something similar re "philosophy". so let's ask again, you know, "Why is
the FBI not focused on
the soup"
mircea_popescu: phf i perceive he's
trying. doesn't know how is separate issue.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu>
there's no automatic fuck yous. << Penis in butt?
phf: mircea_popescu: i actually
think we had a
thread. activity is either happening, and
thus further cultivated (i.e. doers encouraged,
talkers are shed, whatever
the method), or else
there's nothing happening at all. in a sense
that you can't draw your pistol faster
than your draw speed, so
there's nothing really
to worry about. i ~suspect~
that
there's just no effective culling happening
BingoBoingo: Anyways arbitration process is rarely an automatic "fuck you", have
to pursue it
mircea_popescu: anmyway, on
the strength of what you presented you got a few k's worth of go away money
there.
BingoBoingo got a speeding
ticket earlier
this month. In ~two weeks
there is a hearing on motions and discovery
mircea_popescu: ah. so
then proper statement is, "alf has no use for
them"
mircea_popescu: you know
they're not going
to do anything worth
the mention as part of
the definition.
mircea_popescu: "Why is
the FBI focused on
the amateur side, and such a higher risk or higher
threat from people coming out of
the more
traditional sciences?" << because people coming from "traditional" are already neutered.
mircea_popescu: (likbez :
the result of microscopy is a set, of levels,
that are not numbers in
the proper sense. consequently you wish
to see a list of
them, but can not do implicit color conversions such as blue+yellow = green, because color #45
the microscope saw has nothing
to do with #65 or #72)
mircea_popescu: you don't want
the "color levels" nonsense of bitmap/jpeg family. you want
the gif palette, and a clearly explicit mapping
to
the electron microscope output.
kanzure: microscopy is supposed
to be gifs? next you're going
to
tell me webm
mircea_popescu: kanzure
the overhead of movement is 90% + of
the cost you incur ; and 1% or less of
the point of interest. microscopy is supposed
to be gifs. and correctly colorized so as
to allow me
to get back
the electron microscope original.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Of course it's not a 'proper' ray! It's a DEATH ray! No reason
to be polite
mircea_popescu: < kanzure> also it's because i feel ashamed for not having
thousands of hours of microscopy video already << i hope shame intensifies. but in any case : why
the fuck wouldf you make it video.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo bullet may have a waveform associated with it, but it's
trivial!
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> aaactually deathray is one of
the few items
that stayed quite
the same since 1890. << Nah, now
they jacket
the mass of lead atoms with a different metal
phf: why i'd be
the next genghis khan in my mind by now
phf: if i only i had more men
to continue doing nothing with me
kanzure: death rays ain't what
they used
to be
mircea_popescu: the only
time
they don't dare is when
the girl is right
there and she's
taller
than
them and as
the song went, "modelul nou de fata s-ar putea sa-l bata"
kanzure: nmz787
took an electron microscope.
the gigascope never materialized
though.
mircea_popescu: < kanzure> jrayhawk_: would you be willing
to host a microscope? responsibilities would include keeping it plugged in and internet connected. also
there would be an irc bot
that controls where it looks. you'd also be pestered
to load samples periodically. << did
this 2014 idea ever get implemented ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
there's still oil in
the soil nobod ycould be arsed
to process.
to
this day!
mircea_popescu: "oh mp,
this neatly explains how
there came
to be no jobs in
the first place!"
mircea_popescu: "as it is now, you can't have any jobs because
there aren't any. but if
there were some, you still couldn't have any,
this
time for being
the suck."
mircea_popescu: this is
the lulzy dark side of MAGA : supposed it worked, and suppose
there were all
these jobs... and supposed
teh beoble applied, and
they were
turned down for sucking.
mircea_popescu: all
the better
that nobody wants
their vacuums repaired.
mircea_popescu: not a fucking clue, just bumbling idiots barely a shade above
the herd
they supposedly shepherd
through "Science!!"
mircea_popescu: you know, it started with
this 80s "judges are not
to wear
their capes in kid court lest
the implicit, intended majesty of office scares children".
then
the "slightly aloof" but
totalluy "genius" uni professor occured in
the 90s. he spoke like a dork deliberately.
BingoBoingo: lol, most US meth anymore seems
to be made in used soda bottles
