mircea_popescu: ok. what else,
the microwave ? velcro ? what shall we
take ? gsm comms ?
mircea_popescu: so
take something random, say
the
touchscreen. who invented, who got assigned ?
mircea_popescu: yes but also best model of
this "assigned
to respectable people"
thing.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes, and in
that something it's justified.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you don't know
the result until AFTER. you gotta start building it BEFORE.
mircea_popescu: the difference between ligo and cern is
that
the later actually does something ;
the former...
mircea_popescu: in
this sense and very generally, large scale investigations of
the nature of "let's see what happens
to laser interference" are not substantially different from historical items such as foucault's pendulum, or
the
torgue balance of 1700
mircea_popescu: the fact is
that
the
textbook is incomplete. fails
to explain gravity credibly.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-17 13:43 phf: i guess
that's aligned with
the "we moved from SICP
to python, because programming is no longer about writing code, but discovering libraries"
that's periodically discussed in logs
mircea_popescu: i always suspected
the ligo nonsense was why alf had such a low opinion of eg cern cyclotron.
mircea_popescu: so obviously
the
trauma produced some reactions. but
to outright ban photons is a little much.
mircea_popescu: i dunno if you recall, largest grant by nsf, caltech and mit (of course) spent a decade starting with post-collapse (sept 2001)
trying
to see how gravity influences laser beams
through measuring interference. never saw anything.
mircea_popescu: i did not, because i did not like
the reactive nature of it ^ above.
mircea_popescu: came up with a way
to explain away laser interferometry not showing
these "grav waves" by declaring photons kulaks / enemy of
the solid state or such.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "Gravitational coupling of
the propagation four-vectors of matter wave functions is formulated in flat space-time."
mircea_popescu: i'm just
trying
to follow
the conversation, clap along.
mircea_popescu: "The G4V
transforms
the standard DJ MIDI device into a dynamic and formidable software performance controller. Within its fully metal enclosure are 2 ..."
mircea_popescu rereads log, missed
this line apparently because doing log checking in parallel with bothering ex romanian ex con ex prime minister.
trinque: ah so g_l refueled on smart-guy virtue signaling, off now
to dry clothes on line next
to peter
thiel's agar pool?
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the web / backend decoupling will hafta occur, it's
too fragile as it is
mircea_popescu: there are also shitty mobile browser
that "prefetch", but whatever.
mircea_popescu: and yes, i sometimes will click on a bunch of links. i imagine others
too.
mircea_popescu: yes, loading
the page. but maybe someone clicked
the links, is
the idea.
mircea_popescu: note
that
the items in your paste... are indexed as such.
mircea_popescu: or people read some article somewhere,
tried
to check out phuctor.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno
that 100 lines in 5 minute can count as a dos
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: yeah i used NAT in much
too general a sense of
the word. i meant "rando PCs behind routers etc."
mircea_popescu: Framedragger something would have an ip.
that which has
the ip -- has
the ip/
Framedragger: asciilifeform: you may be right, seeing as
that "betaBot" is a piece of some older malware, seemingly
