mircea_popescu: it only has the appeal of the unknown,
as in who knows what pie we find turning over this pot.
mircea_popescu: that part i believe ; but
as to the science rather than the engineering of it.
mircea_popescu: ie, there's nothing capitalist about it whatsoever ; capitalism does order the disordered symbols in similar manner
as longhand does,
as an act of civilisation and a point of manifest superiority pointedly absent from the work (or generally ustardian mentality today)
mircea_popescu: also lulzy, in simiular vein, though i wouldn't for a moment call it "capitalist hell". it is pure and simple collapse among the symbols,
as typified in teh elevator scene.
mircea_popescu: (it didn't help that it was in the torah of the time,
as per saint habarnam gospels, "only blockprinted")
mircea_popescu: and he proceeded to blockprint. which was about
as shocking
as if he had taken off pants in class.
mircea_popescu: da fuck is wrong with people these days, i do not know, but i do recall
as early teens, 12 yo or so, there was this very exciting moment in school when they imported AN AMERICAN!!! to do some english classes. this was you know, wild wild stuff at the time.
mircea_popescu: 2. we select the first 22 bits of the dividend, to wit 1 0100 1100 1110 1010 0110 0 and we compare the divisor to it.
as the divisor is larger, we add one further bit, obtaining 1 0100 1100 1110 1010 0110 01.
mircea_popescu: W, precisely, it is to be obtained. this is why the concept of "function"
as heretofore used is not useful in republican computing, and we must introduce a new item.
a111: Logged on 2017-09-13 17:17 asciilifeform: apeloyee: anything that beats multiply-then-divide is an improvement, so long
as it meets the basic demands ( constant time, constant space, NO branches that depend on input bits, no use of approximations, no massively heavy - 100 loc is a good approx max - code )
mircea_popescu would be genuinely curious if this could be done. on one hand trained girl can do wonders with ass, on other hand that thing is fragile
as all fuck...
mircea_popescu: (and to round off the above : consider that the first metallic aluminum was shaped into a box and offered to the same person
as the ironclad drawings were offered. whyssat ? cuz that's how all science flew back when people could control it.)
mircea_popescu: more importantly -- that the chinese DID takle over "industry",
as well they should ; but that survival and prosperity depends on THIS. let them have THAT industry, it's actually a great fit for them.
mircea_popescu: that "trademark" is now owned by unilever,
as you might've guessed, and it's used to sell items in qatar,
as you might've also guessed. the point being that the poor rich arabs are trying to salvage whatever's left of the tsar's pile of salvaged material, today.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: but on the significance front i asked because the principal preoccupation of the russian tsar afrter the french went stupid was to rescue
as much of the old world industry stack
as possible, which is how jhe ended up with swiss, austrian, french etc manufacturers.
BingoBoingo: So long
as Trump can pull GOP to electoral sweet spot of a little economically liberal and a lotta socially conservative
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> j was by some accounts an introverted d00d, did not much get along with chix, after his wife died decided to solve problem 'the sexbot way' << Not 'sexbot way', in the way his time and place handled much beloved mistress; such status is indicated by liberation
as opposed to re-sale of the resultant octaroon children at their coming of age (
as opposed to Jefferson's death).
mircea_popescu: heck, they don't wanna fuck them
as it is, TODAY! look through the dating sites, two thirds of black female profiles indicate "no black males" in some manner (such
as, "no gangstas" or whatever)
mircea_popescu: all the dogs i ever met were thrilled to be scratched behind ears whenever and whichever way you felt like, the warm glow of "omfg, i am being handled BY HUMAN!!!" visibly overpowering all "thoughts" such
as they had in their dog brain.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well yes, because the free strings they can get hands on were written in 1980 by gosplan
as quoted, rather than in 2000 by perianne boring aspie
BingoBoingo: Well fiat by buying Chrylser seems to have went "we were fascist too, just
as better
as Daimler Benz" Which previously owned chysler when chrysler was Mitsubishi
BingoBoingo: Alfa Romeo returned to States recently and is marketing itself being Italian
as meaning alt-ferarri
mircea_popescu: no, i mean from the following cultural perspective : for
as long
as road network continues growing, the user wants massive, impressive beast of a steel machine. to show his supremacy over the attendant landscape in proper context (ie, he's affraid of the wilderness roads expand into). once expansion stops, he wants an efficient little thing, to get it over the next guy (ie, he's affraid of neighbour). and once road network st
BingoBoingo: Well, not usually station wagons so much
as hatchbacks like Ye olde economy cars
BingoBoingo: And the "nicer" Walmart always gets beat by the better at spreadsheets in space walmart
as old women get their 3 status items of not being poor from the faddy not-Walmart and race the rest of their money to the bottom walmart

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> superficially it seems like omfg lotta money ; but not so bad. people can afford to make eg icecube trays that retail for 3 bux ie cost a quarter each. how many of those sell ? 10k if you're lucky. << /me read
as "lotto money"
mircea_popescu: (ftr, what teh lordship usually catcalls
as your "Goalpost sliding" is really your most carnal aspect. you sound JUST like a woman when you do it.)
mircea_popescu: i know i was. ie, it was not directly evident to me that mining
as originally designed has this weakness.
mircea_popescu: sounds a lot like "your house is fine mr p, for
as long
as you hold on to this here bearing beam"
mircea_popescu: there's even dedicated "investment" stupid money chasing such "ideas". not
as many
as there were in the 90s, owing to a lot of unfortunate interactions with various "transhuman" tards past 20 years, but still some.
mircea_popescu: i ate off my great-grandfather's set, still clean
as the day in 1870 it was made.,
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform silver dun tarnish lol, there's such a thing
as proper silver. and it has low melting point and easy to work and it doesn't grow fungi.
a111: Logged on 2017-09-12 23:12 mircea_popescu: and finally 3. the item there described is not exactly a function. it rather something i'd call a mechanism, a discrete item that does a fully defined thing.
as we're looking more and more through ada eyes and constant time things and so on, a study of these mechanisms
as an distinct category will prolly be useful. somewhere between conway's cells and commandline utils, they are.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform im pretty sure i read the whole knuth
as a teen, so it's likely just memory at work.
mircea_popescu: but that inconvenience is not the same
as the "Same number of cycles" claim.
mircea_popescu: whether this approach is actually faster than the current mod of 97
as implemented via knuth is open to discussion, i guess.
mircea_popescu: it is also extensible in the sense that if you wish to compute the mod of a 512 bit number, you can cut it up into
as many powers of two
as there are 1's, feed it into this, and get a modulus.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well, modulus bitness sum
as opposed to N bitness sum. but sure.
mircea_popescu: you feed into my above function the list 6, 9, 15. it adds them : 30. it then writes down 30 -17 ie 13. it then writes down 13 + 17 = 30. it has peroduced a list
as long
as the original (3 elements), among which the SECOND is the modulus of 1433293 +7926803 +9266137
mircea_popescu: alrigthy, so. you take a list of numbers. you add these numbers. you write the result down. you compare this result with the modulus. if the result is smaller than the modulus, you add the modulus to it and write it underneath ; if larger, you substract the modulus and write it underneath. you repeat this step until you have a list of added/substracted moduli to the result
AS LONG
as the original list of elements. in it, you
mircea_popescu: good for you ; but your problem isn't what you presented it
as being.
mircea_popescu: so you won't have many passes of it. just
as many
as elements in list at the most.
deedbot: 410951F4EED9132643015A058B46D224AE9E116C is already registered
as rothbart.
mircea_popescu: rothbart you're perhaps too new to know this, but the PREVIOUS time there was "miner consensus" it turned out the miners that "voted" and "supermajority" didn't give the slightest shit about the whole thing, and did NOT actually implement what they were misrepresented
as having supported.
mircea_popescu: but whatever, i don't mind making money out of mit's "blockchain of the future", like i didn't mind fleecing "ripple" or cashing btc crash. free bitcoin will continue for
as long
as usg can draw breath, i'm not against. let them lose what they can't invest.
mircea_popescu: let's drop the math for a moment and delve. at time t0, bitcoin works. at time t1, some wreckers under "public pressure"
as discussed well in
http://trilema.com/2013/digging-through-archives-yields-gold/ attempt to attack this bitcoin that works, by producing an alt-bitcoin, that does not work. the specific way in which the alt-bitcoin thatr does not work "works" is by deeding (exactly like deedbot) some strings into the bitc
rothbart:
as in, the attacker would be doing a chain rewrite in order to keep the segwit outputs on his fork?
rothbart: I've been trying to grok the segwit "theft" incentive -
as the bounty grows, so does the PoW defending it - doesn't this keep the segwit outputs safe?
☟︎ trinque waiting on a turdnode
as well
mircea_popescu: the important point, however, is that nacre has a young's modulus
as high
as 100. (young modulus being a reasonable measurement of an aspect of intuitive "brittleness".)
mircea_popescu: in the simplest sense, mother of pearl is discs of calcium carbonate "glass" suspended in chitin (the insect plastic equivalent of celulose ; same thing
as makes hair in mammals.)
mircea_popescu: these, amusingly, were also driven by similar processes
as the pre-usgification of europe, ie "gotta impress the single solitary unique sultan"
mircea_popescu: if you make your key of ebony or some other high quality wood and the letterface out of say mother of pearl, you have a very good wear profile item
as well.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo he solves it by fucking getting up to speed with 18th century art
as an engineering practice!
mircea_popescu: well... the 200lb man it's not
as kalahsh-SOUNDING
as the 3 lb wrench!
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> man pizza is part. so are various vehicles (such
as de-icers) and etc. << AHA
mircea_popescu: man pizza is part. so are various vehicles (such

ben_vulpes: different ~everything; what, make me a strand of wood fiber
as thin
as spider silk and let's test it
