mircea_popescu: somehow working together it was 1 minute, i am confident it'd have been half a fucking hour of my life otherwise.
mircea_popescu: it IS a search problem. "i want X". "can you put X in X' ?" "no but i can tell it to alf"
mircea_popescu: well, i got my link about 500x faster than if i searched for it. somehow.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: but if he simply asks another idiot and averages the two out, he reduces the error 3x
mircea_popescu: the experience he discusses (afaik this is amply documented) is the strange situation that if an idiot guesses, he's off by X, if he "tries" to think about it, ie, meditates on the answer and why it could be wrong he improves the guess (reducing he errror)
mircea_popescu: btw, you ever read that article by tlp about how "asking another is the best bias reducer" ?
mircea_popescu: ascii_field do you happen to have link to log where we discuss idiocy of "bayesian" approaches to stuff ?
mircea_popescu: in line with the "sane measure to be applied just as soon as all alternatives exhausted"
mircea_popescu: im sure they did. i would say overal there's no stupid thing the us haven't tried
mircea_popescu: you can't have a toy election anymore than you can have a toy pregnancy.
mircea_popescu: i don't get this nonsense. who the fuck gave her the autority to overturn the election.
mircea_popescu: yeah but of interest here would have been the convicts that don't write.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, it's not hard to meet convicts. there's a program you can sign up for, host one getting out of prison for a few months.
mircea_popescu: because why would they ? if they know the topic they don't need to search google, what the fuck is that you know, "i would like to see what the republican party says, i wonder if they have a website". on the other hand if you don't know it, why would you trust google. "i wonder if thye have a republican party in bali. o look, republicanpartyinbali.blogspot.com comes up first."
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "oh, but i'm gonna be the exception". sure you will baby. heck, maybe she actually will be. THE EXCEPTION. geddit ?
mircea_popescu: the jobs available are the jobs available and you fucking like them.
mircea_popescu: im sure alf doesn't wanna be an engineer either, he wants to be a hunter. what of it ?
mircea_popescu: "oh, but women don't wanna be extras in a man's movie just for being women". tough.
mircea_popescu: because otherwise, OF COURSE some random derp is gonna be the symbol, and in this sense "100 mn" is purely symbolic. it's not the number, and you are drastically naive to contest the actual number. the point is somewhere else.
mircea_popescu: heads and OF COURSE already, it's their guy which means he owns them), but that other chick what's her name, and oh really, "nobody's cavalcade is coming tarram tarram tarrarram tam tam" ? what the fuck is this shit, put the nigger back in the prison he squirmed out of an the white women back in the fucking ofcourse.
mircea_popescu: <funkenstein_> But oh, I saw 100million written down so, lets just believe that shall we? << that's not even it. the tlp article has the story, and it's rather obvious : they ACCEPTED to be extras in HIS movie. that's what it is. rihanna, of course (of course ? madonna didn't do that for ritchie, not really ; angelina jolie didn't do that for brad pitt ; moreover nobody told them to get the fucking crazy out of their
mircea_popescu: uperiority over it, go read the fucking thing again and answer this question yourself. HOW is it that they are exactly the same ?
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-10-2015#1303415 << at this point i firmly believe there's something lost ; in the reading. in other words, im vaguely persuaded you do not actually have the ability to read (yes, you can follow the letters, but it's not the same). so earnestly, in full view of this censure of your intellectual faculties, without any attempt to hide from it or to pretend an imaginary, unwarranted s
☝︎ mircea_popescu: in fact, the reason prison is better than the web (no, it's not "the internet", fucking reddit facebook and washpo aren't "the internet") is preciely that they fuck up the derps in prison.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: there is no community with the derps. a world without them is a better world, under ANY circumstances.
mircea_popescu reads tpbit thing, is unimpressed. oh you mean people wanna blather about nothing rather than do work because a) it's easier and b) they don't wanna do anything anyway, they just wanna appear so and so ? mmmkay.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell funkenstein_ what is your definition of "nothing" ? be the careful you wish to see in this world. for instance as an exercise : compare the "nothing" you falsely claimed with the "something" that was actually there, see if the conclusions ACTUALLY DRAWN by the people you read were in fact commensurate with the something that there was, IRRESPECTIVE of what your kneejerk [based on nothing] interpretation of
mircea_popescu: jurov << instead of all this shitgnomery << eh, the problem with exceptions is that they have to be managed.
mircea_popescu: but in any case... "The audience-- people, Twitter, performers, Leno, The View, the President-- are can't help but comment on the show. They don't understand that they are actually part of the show. They aren't getting paid, but neither were Statler and Waldorf. And they were the funniest part of it."
mircea_popescu: in fact, it might actually be a large part of why said kids are broken in the head.
mircea_popescu: lol all this shit that supposedly at some time existed.
mircea_popescu: the probolem with THAT is that it only works for as long as the press is firmly attached to the public mind, but the more it works the more tenouous it makes that attachment. so... notrly.
mircea_popescu: anyway. tlp's idea about how to report the stuff in the media to prevent its repeating is entirely correct (and also exactly what china does, which he doesn't notice - tho he notices correctly that it's what the dod forced everyone to do for the wtc bombings)
mircea_popescu: what if you mass murder accountants ? irs accountants ? black women ? people working at the southern poverty law center ? congressmen ? etc.
mircea_popescu: the problem with this safe, sanitized, society-first view of individual action is that it deliberately avoids the problem of class.
mircea_popescu: "Mass murder is the violent expression of being a pussy. The people killed are almost never the people who actually hurt you-- they are the nameless collateral damage of your fear of confrontation. Every person who Sodini felt hurt him is still alive. Every person he shot was nothing but polite to him, if they had any contact at all. This is almost universally true about mass murderers. In other words, the people w
mircea_popescu: This is how famous people die: they take stimulants to party all night, and sleep very little. Finally, on day 3 they're too wired to fall asleep naturally, so they take a few extra sedatives (because they feel so wired.) However, the full dose of the pills doesn't happen until after they fall asleep; the sedation is worsened even further by stimulant withdrawal; and, of course, the natural exhaustion that comes with
mircea_popescu: there's no saving the 30yo black woman. she'll balloon, tis the genes.
mircea_popescu: if you're gonna go, might as well go whatever way it happens
mircea_popescu: from what i could gather, the sort of kid that plays football comes from the same pool of kids that "sing rap" or get shot in turf wars.
mircea_popescu: it's really hard to go through america's main cultural product and not come to the notion that the country was born with down syndrome.
mircea_popescu: "the evil guys" who are obviously and necessarily an affixion upon him, provide it!
mircea_popescu: and now : how the fuck is superman going to provide the manifest possibility he's killing the woman ?
mircea_popescu: (chiefly because you'll probably not give her children, which has its own knot of evolutionary logic behind it)
mircea_popescu: the REASON they said this, and stuck to it, is the correct observation that absent a very certainl possibility you'll fucking kill her, from which you wilfully abstain, the woman's not even slightly interested.
mircea_popescu: the churchly doctrine has always been that absent the possibility of sin, and the wilful rejection of sin, salvation is impossible.
mircea_popescu: at which point, i'll definitively confuse the matter by going on the least expected tangent :
mircea_popescu: works in demographic imbalance. otherwise, you gotta make some sense, somewhere, somehow.
