☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the point of study isn't "memorize this list of bugs"
mircea_popescu: study is just another kind OF PLAY ; and paper is just another kind of TP.

mircea_popescu: the fucking idea is to get POSITIVE leverage for crying out loud

mircea_popescu: but there was a time, people and jackals ate the same three day old carcasses.
mircea_popescu: i dunno that anyone but anthropologists even conceptualize interspecies commensalism.
mircea_popescu: the difference between "at mercy of parasites" and "reasonably healthy" is strictly predicated on "not commensal with beasts of the field"

mircea_popescu: it does not need to serve any practical function other than, allowing people so willing to set the bozo bit on the idiot club.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and if it can't drive a 10,000 x 5,000 pixel array at reasonable frame rate << how did you get the numbers asciilifeform ? for instance, shouldn't it be 16:9 ? so then why not 16000 : 9000 ? 8000:4500 ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: bwahahaha that came out great. in romanian must = pre wine (stum).
mircea_popescu: [by virtue of nobody else being on that same island] apparently nobody wants to burn him at the stake!
mircea_popescu: much to his surprise, the blowback is significantly less thgan what he had expected!
mircea_popescu: usg is roughly in the position of the guy lost on a deserted island, who comes out of the closet, toi the rocks and the palm trees.
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-09-2015#1273847 << cuz at the time it wasn't exactly clear how this'd work (as the contract is a future on a yet nonexistent pair) and cuz i wanted it to be a negotiable instrument rather than a specified thing, specifically because that sort of vague future deal requires some room to wiggle.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: thestringpuller: So the people in #bitcoin-xt have <<< i'm like wtf, srsly ? /join #bitcoin-xt turns out there's one other guy there and williamdunne made the chan. lol. mkay.

mircea_popescu: are those "hundreds of colleges" pretty much community "colleges" etc ?

mircea_popescu: but 3k years' worth of bumbling efforts at "teaching" math by ear certainly never got very far with it.
mircea_popescu: the problem is that until and unless someone takes a serious byte out of making the damned thing, it's kind of hard to guess if and how the graph is actually summarizable, or w/e the term is.

mircea_popescu: wich strictly means that a) mathematics is not open to human beings and b) even ultraspecialised approaches are pushing the proposition.
mircea_popescu: <gernika> I feared as much. << the objection is valid, and in no way different from "you can have a working os, i sort-of have one here, it's made out of 400 pieces and i could maybe remake it if i had a week off."
mircea_popescu: there's going to have to be a bisection and it's hard work, of the "do not bother me for three days" sort.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: in between me pointing out gentoo does not actually work and alf getting off his "works for me" horse.
mircea_popescu: but for some reason either the histeresis is great or outright resistance to the notion is great.
mircea_popescu: and go to great lengths to manually bypass barriers << incidentally, this is why a b-a linux is such a low hanging fruit.
