mircea_popescu: basically,
the agent defects from a
to b and
then defects from b back
to a sort of "skeptical a".
mircea_popescu: do you recall
that ridiculous "bunker" with 30% dedicated
to "motorcycles" and a few fish
tanks "For food" ?
that sort of cvasi-religious nonsense is
the end result -- resources are diverted
towards making a show of compliance with designs
that are dysfunctional by
their very nature.
☟︎ mircea_popescu:
the space
to CLAIM appartenence
to
type b without actually incurring any of
the cost.
mircea_popescu: consider
the more obvious / discussed in
the logs case of "nuclear war preparedness". if you model
the us cca 1960 as
the existence of
two
tribes,
type a which didn't believe
there's imminent risk of nuclear winter and
type b which did believe
there's imminent risk of nuclear winter,
the fact
that
type b doctrine included "no need
to separate from
type a, we can just have some shit bolted on" allows random population member X
ben_vulpes: "resilient" and "antifragile" are
the shibboleths
mircea_popescu: i
think now he's
turned
towards a slightly more self-empowered version of lafond-ism, "structured communities" or somesuch.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes
this john robb guy, kept a blog for a while about guerilla warfare whatever ; but before
that he was with forrester research, kept doing pieces
that were more cogent
that most. re browser wars, re social me,dia, etc
ben_vulpes: john robb, pet dissenter in
the 'small wars strategy' orbit of washington
ben_vulpes: shoulda listened
to robb when you had
the chance.
ben_vulpes: ah, america. do you remember when you believed
that 'terrorism' was a geographically constrained
thing you could wage war on in a conventional fashion?
mircea_popescu: i am somewhat confused
to see
there's no consensus in
there.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, "Taboola adheres
to
the Digital Advertising Alliance Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising, a program run by
the Digital Advertising Alliance and
the Digital Advertising Alliance Canada with
the goal of providing Internet users
transparency and control."
ben_vulpes: globalization, also not all it's cracked up
to be
mircea_popescu: cool. state gotta learn
this "arrest" business ain't all it's cracked up
to be.
mircea_popescu: "Hostilities erupted last week when
the military and
the police moved
to arrest Isnilon Hapilon,
the Islamic State’s anointed leader in
the Philippines and head of an Abu Sayyaf faction."
mircea_popescu: lmao wtf did
they do, retrofitted air-ground missiles on medical helicopters ?
mod6: So
that should conclude
the collections for now. I'll be putting some effort into some fg-anal sometime soon -- maybe nothing more
than some basic facts extrapolated from
the
test results per collection and links
to
the raw results.
mod6: thanks! last dieharder
test is running now, actually.
mircea_popescu: btw mod6 kickass work with
the FG auditing, i gotta say.
mircea_popescu: i
think at
this point
the entirely scammy nature of mit is established beyond possible doubt.
shinohai: "All attendees received source code for a reddit
tipbot
that steals all user funds at a random date in
the future."
shinohai: If you neeced any more proof
the whole MIT expo
thing is just a
troll .... "Doge Doggie" listed on page with
the various other "Let's make Bitcoin liek Ethereum" scammers.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo "comments on
the campaign
trailed followed"
mircea_popescu: like humanized rat parade, what is
this, dreamworks mit lab ?
BingoBoingo: Much, Butt not
too. In
this we can be butt
trusted.
jurov: but on
the other side,
there are fungi
that use melatonin
to grow from radiation, without need for beryllium vacuoles
jurov: imo would be very -ev
to gain just few O radicals per decay
mircea_popescu: prolly, colorful from all
the heavy metals / ionization going on
mircea_popescu: and in other science fiction : imagine a xenomorph
that actually lived off radioactive decay. it'd get
to use
the fabled hepta-dna arrangement, and obviously have very active
teleomerase.
then it could uptake whatever relevant radioisotope into special beryl vacuoles, and colimate it into a specially built "tunnel" made out of whatever oxidables arranged with
the oxigen in.
then
the oxigens are knocked off, and
the lifeform o
mircea_popescu: and in other lulz :
the fda was actually established in 1938, on
the heels of ~100 people dying from diethylene glycol poisoning.
they were
trying
to
take sulfanilamide (dye byproduct), at
the
time (prior
to penicillin)
the only known bactericide.
shinohai: --> ag3nt_zer0 has joined #trilema <<< Haven't noticed
that name in a while. O.o
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes how
the fuck
they can pretend
to "democracy" an' "rule o' law" without putting
those schmucks in jail is anyone's guess.
Framedragger: (on
the plus side,
text loads on lynx, including
those
transcript excerpts.)
Framedragger seriously started doubting his eyesight while scrolling. "maybe
too much computer
time for me?"
Framedragger: (see as you scroll, it adjusts
the location of
the blur. genius)
Framedragger: finally web 69.0 standards are able
to match
the newest 2017 attention span of 0.25 seconds - enough
to read a line. wtf!
a111: Logged on 2017-03-27 19:31 asciilifeform: as ben_vulpes knows well, in usa bureaucrats have personal immunity for ~everything
they do on
the clock (unless
they get purged by
the party, in which case
they become liable for anything and everything, but
this helps you 0 )
mod6: Now, I just need
to re-run one more
test from FG #2,
then
the collections will be complete, all using 'fullblock'.
ben_vulpes: "our heartfelt support
to
the women and others who were
targeted!"
ben_vulpes: pretty funny how eudaly wants
to come
together and support
the women instead of saying anything about
the (admittedly nearly epsilon) valor of
the individuals attempting
to exercise some meager amount of sovereignty, even if it was just
to not have an assault on
their commute
mircea_popescu: ah yes, check
that out. complete with "call
to come
together" and other she-ministrations "against haet".
mircea_popescu: judging by
the weapon, i
take
this was a white man opressing innocents as opposed
to black man righteously punishing dnc defectors ?
mircea_popescu: the notion
that someone somewhere
takes
the rappaports & "allies" seriously is so fucking alien it fails
to even register as obscene. but it fucking should, because it fucking is.
mircea_popescu: this is about
two
thirds of
the anglo "anthropology", "psychology" and "sociology" by mass.
mircea_popescu: in caragiale's words,
there are waiters who've listened in on so many intellectual conversations,
they can
take out your average university professor, especially if
they go about it quickly.
mircea_popescu: and in other obscura nobody can possibly care about, helen rappaport is a fine example indeed of
the "new intellectual".
television starlet without work, ended up
taking a job for an "academic publisher" in her 40s, once she finally understood ~nobody cares
to see her. within a decade she had absorbed all
the "wiswom" and "knowleshee"
that'd fit, and she was writing "books" and emanating "scholarship" of her own.
diana_coman: I still read
that
thing as one of
the 10001 atrocious "story - advertisement" shit
that I can't stand
diana_coman: is
that simona related
to cristina bazavan?
mircea_popescu: most of her experience is in publishing
those shitty "women magazine"
things.
mircea_popescu: the author (simona bazavan), failed
tv starlet,
then went into management (ringier)
shinohai: I like
the site design, pretty clean.
dvsdude: not sure what
to make of it
shinohai: If only
there were a
tool readily available
that helped persons make
trust decisions ....
dvsdude: how many can be
trusted
thou
shinohai: Well I am quite certain you will find a never-ending supply of *those* on
the internet.
shinohai: So what are you working on
these days?
shinohai: Apparently you've been around lurking a while, I see your name in
the logs a couple of
times
