mircea_popescu: this is your error here : when you say "they still have years of catching up
to do" you imagine a
theoretical construct
that has no bearing
to reality. just because you're far away doesn't mean you're far ahead. as it happens, you aren't, western women will survive much better
than western men.
mircea_popescu: look here : in physics (which is a practical matter), you can have such a
thing as a set with a measure and yet
thereby not obtain an ordering. in mathematics, your ring (set + idempotent/unit items) also
thereby has an ordering.
andreicon: okay, i don't know
the formal definition
andreicon: damn be
the
theoretical definition
andreicon: but let's win
this while we're ahead
shinohai: For
those
that *don't* self-lubricate, its helpful
to be a purveyor of astroglide.
andreicon: i do agree,
they have an accelerated pace
andreicon: they still have years of catching up
to do
mircea_popescu: women are better equipped
than you are
to adapt in
this sense. plus it self-lubricates.
andreicon: it's actually a
trait, you have it or you don't
mircea_popescu: taught
the masses
their chief marketable skill of
today --
the copy/paste.
mircea_popescu: not specifically.
that was mostly a 90s item, resulting from
the uneven development of broadband and
the uneasy interaction between society and internet.
andreicon: most likely,
that's
the first
thing
that comes
to mind
andreicon: i'm not willing
to be a public face for
that
andreicon: but
then it
turns out
there's hidden
tech, some stuff you never knew existed
andreicon: so she
thought she had
the same shit everyone else had
mircea_popescu: (ie yes,
the boneheaded fucktard is also incapable of learning from her own experience, but whatever, it's what
the us politruk class is all about)
mircea_popescu: the
time when people with better access
to superior
technologies ruined her inept shit precedes
this event.
andreicon: then some russki said she runs win2003 on her exchange server and from
there it all went
to shit
mircea_popescu: that was
the whole
thing.
that's all she had
to communicate, when all is said and done.
mircea_popescu: andreicon yet consider : when
the pantsuited hilarity was aiming
to somehow establish herself as actually real and existent as opposed
to merely imaginary fiction (in
the face of
trump's onslaught) her argument was ... "i was in
the situation room!!!". she was saying, basically,
that while she formally appears a redditard like any other, let
them not forget
that nevertheless she has... priviledged access
to... special
technol
shinohai: Am I
to presume
the pockmarked face = smallpox?
mircea_popescu: trinque back
then
the gray was soot. it's apparently antiseptic and anti-stenkik.
trinque: check out
that guy's hipster garb;
they even wear
the same clothes
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, eh,
that's history aka dead
things aka
things
that never even existed 'cause dead, hence... old exciting is dead, on
to
the new exciting
andreicon: i don't
think i have ~equal~ access
mircea_popescu: just as
the black worker on
the plantation
thought he is a slave because god made him stupid ; just so
the redditard of
today
thinks he has easy equal access
to everything.
mircea_popescu: andreicon
the illusion of "~easy~ access
to ~same~
technology" is universally and i find without exception
the macula of
the modern slave.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman amusingly enough, i recall a few... dozen moments of
this "advent of
technology" spring. like you know, Коммунизм = советская власть + электрификация всей страны.
andreicon: i find it challenging dealing with
the politics, windows degrades itself
andreicon: srsly, do you
think
that's all
there is
to me?
diana_coman: andreicon> not necessarily new, just a few
things i haven't
tried <-
the not-exciting ones?
andreicon: easy access
to
the same
technology*
andreicon: and with
the advent of
technology, it's now easy
to put x and y
together and get something exciting
☟︎ andreicon: not necessarily new, just a few
things i haven't
tried
mircea_popescu: i guess
there's a lot of new
things in
the world for you huh :)
andreicon: hopefully i'll have something
to sell for mETH
phf: mircea_popescu: i'm pretty sure we've even had
that conversation before, re girls looking for girls
andreicon: docker swarm + an army of webservers + w3 +
truffle
andreicon: not as of yet, i'm still getting my shit
together
mircea_popescu: anyway, why do you
think you've got something
to
train others ?
mircea_popescu: you're allowed
to
to whatever
the hell you please, at least for now.
andreicon: it'll run on an azure instance, only respond
to me and have its own pubkey registered with deedbot
andreicon: am i allowed
to use a bot
to get voiced here?
andreicon: i'm passing
the decrypt
to gpg on
the os
andreicon: i don't know how
to search
the logs yet
andreicon: i've coded a bot in js
that would voice me when i ask it
☟︎ andreicon: i'd rather
train others
to carry out
tasks on my behalf
andreicon: seldomly do what we
think of doing
mircea_popescu: phf for my curiosity, don't you find it
to work better when
the girl's looking for
them ?
phf: hah, well,
this project has similar pedigree!
mircea_popescu: that's
the problem with me, i'm seldom actually doing what i'm say i'm doing.
phf: how do your attempts
to source graphics artists in argentina fit into
that?
mircea_popescu: phf i dunno what you've been doing with your life
to
this point, but let me point out
to you in no certain
terms
that adjusting what you do by what's available is
the child's lot.
phf: hah, make
them
talk over radio
to do a distributed coordination for
tps
mircea_popescu: but
that said, a large baloon with a string of gliders underneath
that detach bottom first like some sort of strange
technofruit losing its seeds like some sort of anemochorious epiphyte.
phf: i mean,
the hackerspaces
told me
that it's "too hard", but
they've been launching
the same weather balloons with a camera for payload for like years now. literally a highschool project
phf: but without having necessary craftsmen immediately available, it's hard
to make fast progress.
phf: well, it's certainly silly
to put all
this complicated electronics on a device
that would be
trivial
to also make self-propellent
mircea_popescu: glider bs is ww2 reich wunderwaffen (and i hope you read german for
they did explore
this
to death)
mircea_popescu: if you are destroying
the
targets
the solution is rocket engine, which by now are cheap and easy
to make. if you are merely diddling
the
target
the solution is flying lawnmower. (although if you only want
to do it monentarily, such as picture
taking as opposed
to eg van ecking
the solution really is satellite).
mircea_popescu: fwiw balloon-glider is a solution
to
this problem in
the sense straight razor and barber's bowl is a solution
to flebotomy. it does work, as it did long ago, but it does also kinda ignore
the more recent past.
phf: well, your basic algorithm is nearest neighbor, but
then you can assign random weights
to sites of interest,
to ensure
that different machines prioritize different walks (even if
they get dropped from same location)
mircea_popescu: for instance : if i were solving
this for military purposes i would have
the machine list all
targets it can visit such
that it can still reach one landing spot, and
then choose one
to visit RANDOMLY.
this offers some very strong guarantees : a) each machine will
touch one
target ; b)
the algo can be recursed at ANY point (such as power failure) ; c) if you make a fleet of
them you get coverage at no communication expense.
a111: Logged on 2017-07-14 01:14 mircea_popescu: i
thought he was doing a plane
thing
phf:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-14#1683203 << glider specifically. you drop a glider from a balloon, you have known altitude, air foil and weight, you can figure out maximum distance, but
that one's constantly changing, which you can
track from rate of descent vs distance
traveled. your drop point is also random because of
the balloon drift, but it's somewhere around sites of interest
☝︎ phf: of course, but does
that mean i should completely abandon
the problem?
mircea_popescu: phf but necessarily you won't have a closed form solution
to an ill defined class of a known hard problem.
phf:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-14#1683186 <<
traveling salesman has approximate solution strategies. besides in
this case
there's additional complexity of upper limit on
travel distance, which is also constantly changing. so if your maximum distance is above shortest path,
then you want
tsp, but if it's below
then you probably have
to rely on nearest neighbor/nearest fragment heuristics anyway
☝︎ mircea_popescu: "and
thus
they bid farewell
to carnal dishes and solid meats, and highly spiced ragouts
to live for fortry days on ill-dresses fishes, because
they add no sauces
to
their stews."
shinohai: Couldn't fault MP for wanting
to initial dat
mircea_popescu: you probably also forgot shitwater existed. easy
to forget if you're not served it every day.
mircea_popescu: would have been great if we had a service
that had already been open,
tested and could be advertised ; but it'll be useful even
to have it new, not like
the dorks have much memory or mental consideration space anyway.
shinohai: All signs point
to
this .... blockchain.info is added as DNS seed for segwit2x in recent commits on shithub
a111: Logged on 2017-07-14 16:47 mircea_popescu: aaand
trinque, incidentally, as it just occured
to me -- can you get deedbot payments online by
the end of
the month ? seems somewhat likely usg is gonna
turn off its "webwallet" bullshits from blockchain.info down.
mircea_popescu: finally, after mature consideration, china. and my money's not on
the anglotards.
mircea_popescu: so - germany, first.
then japan. upon jealous consideration of japan, russia.
these
tried
to actually band
together and strangle anglotardism once and for all.
they fucked it up, like
the idiots
they are.
mircea_popescu: well yes,
that's exactly what we're discussing, ru went 1910-1940 about same way china went 1975-2005.
mircea_popescu: the simple country boy is loyal,
the problem is
the
town boy is nutty.
mircea_popescu: and
then
the japanese copied it.
to also great success. which is why both japan and russia allied with germany.
mircea_popescu: it is, actually,
the german model.
that's how
they modernized.
