trinque: ^ question marks in my
term. zealotry!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform wtf yet lol.
there is no such
time
there weren't. AN END
TO SLAVERY!
trinque: asciilifeform: if it had found its way into ansi,
the shitgnomes would've demanded moar glyphs, and ended up in exactly
the same place
trinque: erlehmann: been
treated amply in logs you haven't read
trinque: I was relating
the uniturd
thread
to $girl in
the pool just now, and she challenged erlehmann
to start writing software in emojis. and if not, why communicate with it.
mircea_popescu: instead
tell me you were
there while it happened and didn't notice, and i shall believe it, but also point
to it for your benefit.
mircea_popescu: now
tell me
they did not do
this in berlin and i shall not believe you.
mircea_popescu: the ~only
thing all survivors of socialism agreed on, even
the ones
too dumb
to live.
mircea_popescu: why ? because even in
their sclerotic stupid fucking heads
that should by rights have been
taken off en masse at
the very onset,
the value of SPACE exceeded all other values.
mircea_popescu: just as soon as
they managed
to get a little capital, which is
to say money not needed day
to day,
they stuck it in
this deeply improductive activity. not went
to istanbul
to buy cheap colorful crap
to resell, not anything else.
mircea_popescu: this is
to say, standard soviet matchbox dwelling, like berlin is still full of, came from
the maker with a "balcony", which was open
to
the outside.
they -- paid, scions of
the decrepit metalworking industry,
to solder/weld/glue
to
the balustrades ugly scrap metal pikes and pipes, and in between
them put glass.
mircea_popescu: you probably are familiar with, but anyway :
they ~~~ENCLOSED
THEIR BALCONIES~~~.
erlehmann: not in
the mood for guessing history i'm not familiar with
mircea_popescu: this is not so, but let us not diverge any more. what did
the old people do, as
their principal neo-society endeavour ?
erlehmann: large scale deployments are always driven by statistics. i once read
that many stats have no bike helmet laws because lawmakers are convinced
this would reduce biking
to
the point where more cardiovascular diseases outrun benefits of less head injuries.
mircea_popescu: process
that produces antibiotics -> people needing
to hold on
to a
tree while peeing.
mircea_popescu: note helmet works -- before
the fact. it's not fucking antibiotics.
erlehmann: process
that produces
them → people die from head injuries?
mircea_popescu: (helmets -- great.
the process
that normally produces
them -- poison)
erlehmann: sounds like what a qualified cognitive-behavioural
therapist would say indeed!
mircea_popescu: you won't get a bike helmet industry, which is a
tolerable loss.
mircea_popescu: yes. if you permit
the woman
to act out her "worry" about "What may happen" you will sink. if you beat her black and blue every
time she worries -- about anything, you'll suddenly get great parties.
mircea_popescu: do guess, you i hear are from
the right germany
to guess./
mircea_popescu: erlehmann let me
tell you a story. after
the fall of
the romanian socialist republic, people were left with no practically useful skills and no capital. a mad rush
to accumulate both ensued, which was subsidiarily great because it put young people above old people and as a result produced
the only sort of society worthj living in -- with anxiety way way underregulated. now
then -- what did
the old people do, as
their principa
erlehmann: asciilifeform what you
think of unifont hex file format?
mircea_popescu: erlehmann and yet, funnily, everyone comes
to make war in europe. and yet, funnilky enough,
the byzantine empire still prays
to
their legions in heaven, notwithstanding
the reality daily debunk
mircea_popescu: war makes
the only
thing peace never can,
that is -- empty space.
the value of empty space varies, from negative after a war
to infinite during socialism.
☟︎ erlehmann: mircea_popescu it's only war in europe
that is made less profitable. lots of wars
to shop around for otherwhere.
mircea_popescu: erlehmann war IS more profitable
than peace. whether you find
this or not.
mircea_popescu: "make domestic arguments less profitable
than watching
tv".
this isn't washing
the dishes.
erlehmann: consider
that idiots like hitler, napoleon etc. pp. found war more profitable
than peace
erlehmann: i
thought singular project is interconnection. make war less profitable
than peace.
mircea_popescu: erlehmann security, yeah,
that old "come be eaten by ants for you're
too scared of hunting bear"
mircea_popescu: and i don't mean, because eu bureaucrats
tolerate greek, eu is going
to shit. i mean -- because eu has absolutely no project (which is
the direct equivalent) everyone is only
there while
the food flows. and furthermore, because
the men
tolerate
the misbehaviours of
the women,
the countries are dropping off
thje map, and so on.
mircea_popescu: and is going
to shit. BECAUSE of it. not simply "in
the
time of it", but BECAUSE of it.
erlehmann: just pay your
taxes and you'll be spared from war or worse!
erlehmann: mircea_popescu empire does not pretend equality, but
tolerance it has. EU has 23 official languages AFAIK.
mircea_popescu: erlehmann but
that's prtecisely what
tolerance is. an ill designed attempt
to swallow.
BingoBoingo: <erlehmann> i
think it is not about
the literature. i
think it is
to cater
to
the special interest groups. << Maybe
these groups need specialler interests?
mircea_popescu: there shall be no equality, and
there shall be no
tolerance. black man either dresses like white man or picks cotton.
erlehmann: to me
that is not
tolerance, but annexation
a111: Logged on 2017-07-15 16:51 erlehmann: can it be
that your complaint is more with
the egyptian glyphs
than with unicode itself?
erlehmann: i
think it is not about
the literature. i
think it is
to cater
to
the special interest groups.
a111: Logged on 2017-07-15 16:50 erlehmann: okay, but most of it. a special interest group (egyptologican geeks) used a glyph standard. unicode swallowed
that standard.
this is how it usually goes.
mircea_popescu: "oh but all
teh great literature shall be lost" hurr durr. egyptian had just as great literature. JUST as great. its loss was
thought important for centuries, before drunk soldiers broke
the code and it was discovered -- egyptian literature is barely fit
to grace
toilet paper.
mircea_popescu: look at bureaucrat wank, it's directly
translatable
to word
table.
a111: Logged on 2017-07-15 16:57 asciilifeform: if i start writing english as strings of 16-bit indices into
the oxford dictionary, people will laugh.
mircea_popescu: i'm not proposing a sorting here. i am just proposing
they notice
the parts of
their skull made of cow dung.
BingoBoingo: <erlehmann> asciilifeform ok enjoy your latin1 while it lasts. << 卍 We must secure
the existence of our people and a future for white children 卍
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but we DO know mine still permits
the use of language.
mircea_popescu: coming
to
that minimal point of self-awareness any bimbo with half a peanut in her skull manages in fact
to come
to, where she realises it's not
the fucking squiglies painted on her nails
that make her unique.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-15#1684289 LEARNING A LANGUAGE. accepting
that chinese is not a language ; accepting in order
to accept
that
the simple annd obvious fact
thjat your mother and father, if you're chinese, were FOR
THAT REASON idiots and imbeciles ; and for
the reason also
that
their parenjts in
their
turn -- idiots and imbeciles.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: there is NO REASON
to continue
the nonsense. learn a language.

thing, approx.
mircea_popescu: visa could
totally buy russia, if russia were dumb enough.
mircea_popescu: notice how
this works : visa is sending "up
to $10k in bitcoin"
to its own bitcoin addresses
to claim "people" have "invested" in whatever nutty bullshit faux coin
they have going ; visa is sending "up
to 10k" faux news on dead paper
to its own offices
to claim someone actually gives a shit what
the new york
times says on any
topic ; visa is
then giving 10k in cash
to 50 of its own merchants
to pretend like you and i should d

https://archive.is/a3GZE >> 'Visa... offering up
to $10,000 each
to 50 U.S.-based small business owners
that are committed
to going cashless... "We are declaring war on cash," said Andy Gerlt, a spokesman for Visa.'
mircea_popescu: he could as well be
their fucking patron saint,
the party of vaux.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and yes, brougham is a monument of socialist retardation. devout abolitionist (which, incidentally, is coming
together in my mind as
the spot where western civilisation actually went off-course, early 1800s), argued with young re wave form of light, argued with some statistician re solar spots impact on wheat prices,
tellingly
thought everyone else unscientific and by comparison
to his bright mind very stupid indeed and perp

tell mod6 1.326 + log2(N)/2 + (log2(N) - 1.443)*N gives bitlength of N!
to 1% or so.
mircea_popescu: again, no argument.
T needs
to be measured, factorial is a fine case
to measure it in, we don't resort
to
the lab when we wish
to prove
theory wrong but in all cases and at all
times because we like
the lab.
mircea_popescu: no argument. but i am a practical man and i like plugging
things in.
a111: Logged on 2017-07-15 12:45 asciilifeform: while we're on subj, ffa is more or less guaranteed
to lose
to just about any heathen bignumtron in factorial speed, and it should not be hard
to see why.
