mircea_popescu: once she's buck naked the music stops and teh guy inquires why the fuck she stopped ? he was having fun!
mircea_popescu: bored eastern ruler, is presented with novel entertainment. girl comes and slowly strips to music.
mircea_popescu: (ftr that's the fucking definition of the heap : program's own notebook, that it doesn't show you)
mircea_popescu: nope. all programs hide the heap. why does that not qualify ?
mircea_popescu: the problem is that complex systems are not obviously normal-izable.
mircea_popescu: no, that doesn't make lying not lying, but it does make the problem of not lying as an idiot intractable.
mircea_popescu: it is exceedingly difficult to not lie if bereft of sane priors.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you will note, re "lying", that in my extensive experience 90% of beatings that ever get administered do get administered to a crying, repentful slave that does not believe she was lying.
mircea_popescu: neatly mirroring the dichotomy discussed earlier today, about the group that is trying to use computers to compensate by its members outright lack of intelligence, vs the group that is tryi9ng to use computers to leverage the already present intelligence of its members.
mircea_popescu: the former paradigm works well for people without identity. the latter is ideal for people with.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is a longstanding bit of C"S" idiocy. somehow the idea of a "painless" subsystem is "a subsystem that lies about being in pain". if organs worked like that we'd be all dead.
mircea_popescu is somewhat surprised at how in the log, the deep understanding comes from the newb!
mircea_popescu: fucking brain rot. all these brogrammers have nfi what the point of programming computers even is.
mircea_popescu: but yes - i would have loved to be a bff of gpg. instead we're just best enemies.
mircea_popescu: "subkey" belongs exactly in the same pile "expiration date" belongs in
mircea_popescu: at any rate, history dun even enter into it. the thing's broken for no good reason.
mircea_popescu: ""People want to hear about how bitcoin can help fight poverty. Talking about how some guy is getting rich? The audience in the West is not really interested in that." heh, the audience of Taylillevi5's might not wish to know about it. but they are fucking irrelevant to any discussion of anything whatsoever.
mircea_popescu realises with unmitigated horror that now he's going to have to rewrite the fucking merchant of venice
mircea_popescu: in a country where human herd stampedes regularly kills hundreds, any death reports with finer granularity are irrelevant anyway.
mircea_popescu: yes, or perhaps i wanted a cow mounted on my kitchen wall to give me milk.
mircea_popescu: copypaste small computers may have their uses, but 70% of the iphone is the touch sensitive screen, if you'rer going to spend the money might as well put more % of it towards buying thew actual small computer you wanted.
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag for my curiosity, what's the desktop equivalent of the shits, do you happen to know ?
mircea_popescu: i'm unfamiliar with any jurisdiction where i'd give a shit.
mircea_popescu: so how is it illegal to use your iphone as a fucking doorstop if that's what you want.
mircea_popescu: using the box as a general purpose computer is illegal << what ?
mircea_popescu: no i mean, i don't believe shakespeare's loose mores detracts from his literary value.
mircea_popescu: shakespeare is difficult to match in many ways, chief among which his inclination to pander.
mircea_popescu: guy had to do a travesti because that's what a comedy was at the time. the situation of true romance is very similar : compare tarantino's own cut with the bullshit the studio released.
mircea_popescu: copypaste i think it's nonsensical pandering and not really worth the mention.
mircea_popescu: well... teh pr machine's looking for some hook on this slippery eel.
mircea_popescu: and what's worse, they tend to prefer the latter disproportionately by quality.
mircea_popescu: the only problem is that supplied with the choice of "enforce this hag's worldview" or "enforce mp's worldview", young women tend to prefer the latter.
mircea_popescu: i have no doubt that yes, if we wish for her heavily indebted persona to be evenr marginally sustainable then yeah, i OUGHT to be unattractive etc.
mircea_popescu: yeah well... good luck and all that, but it seems i'm discussing the is and she the ought.
mircea_popescu: pasted material being point in case, the woman "just knows" that i'm not attractive, notwithstanding that i'm willing to bet that's the most popular profile on the entire site, and what the fuck would she know about what gets teeny sluts hot anyway ?!
mircea_popescu: there seems to be a pervasive meta-conviction that so and so, but i have never yet encountered the thing it purports as a practical matter. as best i can determine it's just another fashion, self-induced. people have read "on the internet" that the government hid elvis in hoffa's urinary tract and so now "everyone thinks so".
mircea_popescu: see something like that, say something like that for crying out loud. how the fuck are they to know when they're out of line if you never tell 'em ?
mircea_popescu: and honestly, i blame you dumb fucks. that dumbass lived her entire life without anyone ever telling her what her place in the world is, i'm ready to bet. it's a shameful fucking situation.

mircea_popescu: this is the situation of proletarians moved into kulak dwellings, heating themselves with the imported french furniture.
mircea_popescu: the marked similarities with the legal notion and cultural mores of the decaying roman empire, and the strict disjunction from the legal notions and cultural mores of the flourishing roman early republic, or the other republics avaialble gives the story away.
mircea_popescu: this is what "civilisation" misunderstood as no beatings and overgenerous welfare (such as school loans, and such as alimony, and so on) has created.
mircea_popescu: these two work together to produce a very unhappy populace even in the ideal case socialism.
mircea_popescu: item ii : for very good evolutionary reasons, a geometric increase in stimulus is required for a mere linear increase in sensation.
mircea_popescu: you recall my explanation as to why any socialism is always and necessarilyt going to be unsatisfactory to the ruled mass ?
mircea_popescu: what the "democratic" socialism needs is exponential. hence its love of "science".
mircea_popescu: for as long as you're committed to not beating the woman, the necessary result is a vicious circle of ever more annoying, lazy bitches.
mircea_popescu: you're saying "at some point they'll have to stop marrying progressively more annoying lazy bitches"
mircea_popescu: the coderz are getting progressively dumber as an unavoidable necessity.
