mircea_popescu: so the -ists
as basically, the filename, whereas the file contents is a pile of heuristics/hacks, work
as well
as you might expect ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform mommentum-inertial could work
as substitute for mass-inertial
as a ready notion. who knows what other cleverness lies silent.
mircea_popescu: on the basis of his authority (
as i understand it) i can decode meaning out of words.
mircea_popescu: kanzure> i wonder if people just signed their work with leibniz's name
as a way to get it preserved << your reference points are pythagoras and perhaps
mircea_popescu: the captured male how to behave so it doesn't rub wrongly. Example suffices, he will perhaps protest but certainly learn and definitely change to fit the limit on his penis. It's not like he's not very eager to alter his behaviour so he can maintain that sweet, sweet delicious cage for longer, for
as long
as possible, forever. Whatever he may say, it's all window-dressing for that simple, fundamental fact -- he's happier neu
☟︎ mircea_popescu: protective confines of your steel gift. They do want to, all of them do. Impediments, such
as exist, all come from circumstantial happenstance, you have to be careful not to pinch their delicate skins putting it on -- and mind that for every inch of physical skin males have miles upon miles of mind-skins enveloping them like a far-reaching cocoon. Once on, you'll have to make sure it doesn't rub wrongly, and especially teach
mircea_popescu: "Every male you ever run into will be looking for an excuse, to explain to himself, and to "everyone else"
as he represents that in his head, why he isn't doing, more, better, etcetera. You happen to have an exceptional answer, and one that he is extremely eager to receive from you. For this reason you are to expect no fundamental problems, it's not like you might run into a male that doesn't want to find himself in the safe,
mircea_popescu: from experience they subjectively think they're "doing pretty good" ; in any case "better than those other deplorables". whereas discoursively he could in principle say anything, chiefly because is not convinced words carry any meaning.
as long
as he's not saying something verboten like "africans have no culture", it's all up for grabs. "for controversy" which is somehow related to "funding".
mircea_popescu: i can't. it's
as incomprehensible to me
as the girls. a boy that dun wanna fight, really ? exactly like a girl that dun wanna fuck, i look at these like a dog looks at a painted bone. "nice work i guess lol. but..."
mircea_popescu: a speaking of which asciilifeform i was meaning to ask, seeing how they keep popping in pairs : how many times
as a % of cases is that when we pop a modulus we pop it for BOTH p and q ?
mircea_popescu: they get trained by tv and candy crush to be
as superficial
as possible because it reduces production costs significantly.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-28 23:35 mircea_popescu: because the political power is a super-2 exponential on smarts, whereas cost is a logarithmic on stupidity, it's very easy to be powerful hanging out with smart people. almost
as easy
as it is to go bankrupt hanging out with many people.
mircea_popescu: right. which is why in my mind it's represented
as a sort of you know, moon. "you can't reboot the machine without knowing what it's doing"
mircea_popescu: yes, i did read the original coupla books,
as a 15yo boy.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-29 13:24 phf: but i think it was cool
as a kind of roleplay toy "learn all these tricks and you'll be just like a mentat from dune"
a111: Logged on 2017-02-24 02:36 asciilifeform: veen: let's try a historical angle. according to legend, emperor qin shi huangdi (same d00d
as known for taking the 'immortality pill' and promptly croaking) had a palace with 1,500 rooms. and would not tell anyone in advance which one he plans to sleep in on a given night. and which ones he would put cutthroats in, ready to kill anyone who opens door. think 'minesweeper.'
trinque: "goal" is being used
as a placeholder for the macro-expanded version which lines up the causes
☟︎ kanzure: like i said, this all seems like a bunch of noise. you're welcome to haphazardly flounce around but at least be honest with
as much.
phf: but i think it was cool
as a kind of roleplay toy "learn all these tricks and you'll be just like a mentat from dune"
☟︎ phf: there was a wiki in 2005 or so, called "mentat wiki". i think it was cool not so much for the content
as the premise. it was supposed to be a collection of techniques for memory recall, arithmetic, problem solving, that sort of stuff.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> nothing hates old women society
as much
as dogs do. << lettuce not forget the Human Society's other priority, the cats! Cats who fleece old women society while snorting catnip and other drugs during pussy grabbing orgies.
BingoBoingo: in trouble seems heartless to me. Shes much more politically active than I am, and I finally asked if she did that to avoid the possibility of giving money to someone who voted for Trump, and she admitted that was one of the reasons. I think thats awful, and weve been fighting about it ever since. She thinks
as a gay woman I should see her side, but I just cant."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform saw the lulzy part where superficial fenn correctly identifies usg
as "a bunch of neonazis that want to gas everybody except themselves" ?
a111: Logged on 2017-08-29 03:28 mircea_popescu: be it in school, on reddit, whatever.
as a result, have deeply nfi about relatively fundamental, basic stuff, and WAY too much familiarity with relatively irrelevant fringe extensions of minor alt-theories in obscure fields.
mircea_popescu: anyway, re lungs,
as im a fan apparently : gas exchange happens through a wonderful bevy of yet poorly understood fluid/fluid phenomena. there's some true space tech going on in there.

as far
as anybody could tell ) rat << And time + selective breeding some well built bulls in Belgium
mircea_popescu: so basically, this is a sort of republic-like, some people got together trying to do [what their idea of] good is. not nearly
as dead
as cat-v.org thing for instance.
mircea_popescu:
as oft discussed, the current system excists
as does because satoshi was a lazy thinker.
kanzure: they can have many invalid things,
as long
as they choose to broadcast the valid thing
a111: Logged on 2017-03-01 19:32 asciilifeform: ooook try this on for size : suppose fixed-width TX (
as discussed earlier.) T(N) is the Nth tx, T(0) is the first tx in genesis block, etc. Tmax is the last tx in the currentheightblock.
mircea_popescu: "'I think his followers actually kind of excommunicated him after he lost their bitcoins."
as opposed to "he actually blew up the early feelers of teh cartel a year ago, we're STILL butthurt about it".
kanzure: you'll have to find someone else to do
as much
mircea_popescu: anyway, amusingly enough that exact outlook, 'world of plenty', 'infinite resources', '
as soon said
as done', 'just needs to be managed and komyoonitiorganized' resulted in the panic of 1837.

as such they're not only infinite and uncountable, but even undefined" but isn't this what calibration is for. you communicate with people because you are trying to callibrate collective goal behavior shit.
mircea_popescu: and the bad notation makes you go into walls,
as per "since it's power it must have goal"
mircea_popescu: power is a misnomer in any case ; it's arche
as in greek not power
as in latin.

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-28#1703856 << moreover the "effects of loci" thing is rank nonsense of the level of "here's my thermometer-based debugging tool. who wants to measure cpu quadrant temperatures
as software runs ???". there's no localisation in that sense.
mircea_popescu: the ~only useful point of the state at this micro level is that it leaks tax money, enough so
as to support hopeless research in fields not favoured by industry.
kanzure: "and

☟︎ kanzure: well i don't really know if memory has an actual size (that concept might be bullshit)-- what about retention, is that the same thing
as size
kanzure: the difference between a monkey and a human is interesting. the difference between human and human,
as measured by iq, is totally irrelevant to me. humans are idiots if you compare them only to each other.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-28 20:20 kanzure: well in many cases the mutations listed on that page have not been documented (on that page)
as impacting positively or negatively. so the document should not be considered a definitive lookup table.
mircea_popescu: you recall, "where's the south african rembrandts, same size
as flanders"
mircea_popescu: and yes there's some relation between discipline
as a societal construct, and politics. but this is complicated and poorly understood.
mircea_popescu: it changes with intellectual ~discipline~. thisis not the same thing
as effort.
kanzure: yes there are many tools that are necessary to make progress, such
as order-of-magnitude cheaper dna assembly and synthesis technologies.
mircea_popescu: sigh. alright, here, let me give you a primer on genetics
as a tehcnological consideration, so you can impress the "what happened to mp" ass-up-buttholes with your transcendental scholarship.
kanzure: optogenetics is one way of interactive toggle (usuaully using neuronal receptors but there are other techniques such
as light-sensitive cas9/recombinases/etc)
BingoBoingo: uch
as binge eating, pathological gambling, and drug abuse. (more)"
BingoBoingo: lol, this is their take on a common mutation: "The polymorphisms rs1800497 and rs2283265 (also known
as the Taq1a polymorphism) near the dopamine receptor 2 (DRD2) gene are associated with improvements during working memory training. (rs1800497(C;C) better avoidance of errors). However this polymorphism comes with serious tradeoffs: antisocial, borderline, dissocial, and avoidant personality disorders, addictive and impulsive behaviors s
