mircea_popescu: which grokking, admittedly, doesn't happen in 90% of
the population.
PeterL: did you
take a look at my reverse hash
thing, does it all make sense?
PeterL: oops, I had
the wrong e!
mircea_popescu: anyway,
there's a lot of work
that went into
this "program needs list of prime for initialization"
thing back when people still actually put
thought and work into computers. see wheel factorization etc if curious.
mircea_popescu: (euler actually came up with
that doing
the riemann zeta function product)
mircea_popescu: (the ancient original, cut out nth number, everfy 2nd from 2 every 3rd from 3 etc. euler's sieve is "take out a number, multiply
the remainder of
the list by
that number,
take out all
the items in first list found also in second". which is faster yes, a generalisation of
the 6k+-1
thing.)
mircea_popescu: PeterL
the reason she stated primes as 6k+-1 is because 80% of numbers are divisible by 2 or 3, and it makes no sense
to check
them.

thing, a gallon is like 8 bux. for
the other
thing,
that gallon is like 5% pits.

to share his bbq marinade recipe ?
PeterL:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-18#1699952 <<
the other day I marinated some pork pieces in
the juices of a freshly squeezed lemon, about a quarter cup of Michigan maple syrup, some crushed red peper flakes, and salt and pepper.
Turned out pretty
tasty on
the grill.
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2017-08-18 00:22 mircea_popescu wonders idly if
they even
teach e's sieve
these days. prolly
too "high level" math for
the "Real world" as imagined by eloy ortiz oakley.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo
the point is interesting. plants do indeed get cancers ; but because plant cells do not
travel in
the anima's body at all, plant cancers aren't
terribly agressive (so wouldn't normally kill
the plant). nevertheless, very valid point, can readily study impact of background radiation on cell division by inspecting
the monoclonal grooves.
BingoBoingo: So are plants and kiloyear
trees live along with 10-100 kilo year clonal groves
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform>
this is no longer so, and i suspect
that
the last 200yr
turtle has already died. << Occasionally 600 year lobster and 500 year bivalve are still found
shinohai: I shall defeat
that scoundrel Guliano once and for all!
a111: Logged on 2017-08-18 04:47 ben_vulpes: and in
the morning i will still be a married man
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-18#1700026 << in
teh morning mp wishes
to state
that while
the harem arrangement, however understood, is not
to be discarded out of hand, nevertheless it can't possibly be
the correct solution for everyone everywhere all
the
time. specificity of, you've guessed it, diddling!
☝︎ valica: ty for voicing me, mircea_popescu. I will create a pgp key as soon as I will have something
to say.
mircea_popescu: and
they're looking into bubberand-powered
trains,
too!
mircea_popescu: (fun fact -- lead poisoning is mostly an african reality
these days. nigerians lead
the pack in
topical research)
mircea_popescu: i'm not aware of such disparity (we're not
talking km ocean depths here.). possibly died, but i expect
through chemical rather
than radio
toxicity.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform on occasion
they do,
there's now and again an ancient fish or mollusc
turned up.
they don't really die in
the usual sense.
mircea_popescu: "just about everybody gets cancer" is
the american way, nothing else. "improved quality of life" ie higher density sardine packages at
the cost of quality.
mircea_popescu: it's lead not strontium. anyway, lead is not found in diet outside of civilisation, and microgram does are experimentally safe. so :
the first microgram of lead is free.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-18 05:32 mircea_popescu: now,
the fact is
that lead is also legally unavailable
today.
this is not necessarily sorosconspiraci : orcs with very low passive environmental exposure may very well afford a little bit of lead sugar now and again for a sprain. nevertheles, "civilised" ie overexposed pantsuits can nor afford such a
thing.

mircea_popescu: there's certainly merit in helping
the smallholders stay in business.
mircea_popescu: there's no way
to make a dead hooker bounce as pleasantly as a live one.
that said, vacuum pack away.
mircea_popescu: only
time i bought cows in
that manner was when making
them
thief style for immediate consumption\
mircea_popescu: if you must age it, better age deliberately
than letting freezer burn do its worst.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes look into steak aging i guess if you're decided
to buy cow
timeshares.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes you're more
than welcome
to find out on own, but freezer meat is for fridjof nansen's fram, not for people living at homr.
mircea_popescu: it's perfectly fine if half children's and if still poledancin' hos
then girls'
too calories come from meat. but
this comes
to what, 20-30k a week for a young woman with
three children, ie about 6kgs ?
that's a goat not a cow.
ben_vulpes: i am also curious
to see how poorly
the freeze
treats
the meat
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i
think horizontal freezer will hold a quarter of an animal
ben_vulpes: the smallholders who raise
them in
the area inevitably surround
the purchase with all sorts of hijinks. "you will come
to
the farm and we will introduce you
to
the herd; you and
the rest of
the half and quarter-purchasers will have a rollicking good
time with your and our children dancing and drinking around
the fire until
the wee hours. room in
the barn for all, plus
tents outside if
that appeals."
mircea_popescu: don't be silly. whoile cattle is for when your dozen women have
their
thirtieth child or such.
ben_vulpes: i would like
to get a half cow next year.
mircea_popescu: anywya.
the proper name for what i mean is bistecca fiorentina.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes brewing up
the first white football mvp in like a decade eh ?
ben_vulpes: now let me
tell you about how delicate
the personal-injury lawyer's kid up
the street is...
mircea_popescu: dog is perfect for up
to 10 or so.
then can
take it riding.
ben_vulpes: took a skull
to
the face
the other day. black eye and barely a whimper.
ben_vulpes: monster dog has been excellent for
toughening up
the
tyke
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes anyway, dun let hosptial visit dissuade. kid is made
to be
thrown around up
to
the limit of physical resistance / crying. it's good for it.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes if you're going
to
throw kid around , grab above elbow.
ben_vulpes: "just look it up on youtube if
this happens again"
mircea_popescu: like most common pediatric presentation in functional family units, or something like
that.
ben_vulpes: i went
to
the doc, doc showed me
the various manipulations
to effect
mircea_popescu: o nm, it's
the elbow luxation in children. i misinterpreted
teh words!
ben_vulpes: romping around with kiddo, felt a *click* in his wrist, rapidly sad child who didn't want
to use his left arm
mircea_popescu: (i could have sworn ~~~I~~~!!! used
that story first. alf stealing all my good old country folk stuff!)
a111: Logged on 2014-06-01 03:06 asciilifeform: 'doctor it hurts when i do
that. -- don't do
that.'
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: hey on
the other hand, i did learn
the 'nursemaids elbow' fix
the other day
Birdman: oh i assumed
that was
the case beacause in
the command line it points
to
that second quote with a ^
ben_vulpes: Birdman: well you said it had something
to do with
the second quote, which didn't make any sense
Birdman: ben_vulpes i dont understand,
thats just
the error im getting
mircea_popescu: and
the fact remains, official usg.medicine has no
TREATMENT for sprains, outside of imobilizatiopn and
tramadol. which is not
treatment.
mircea_popescu: anyway : mustard has nothing
to do wirth all
this, still very effective.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes
that's reallly forcing a point. pipes were lead
throughout pipe history, all
the romans ever used.
