Framedragger: "and have my esteemed pedigree tree"? isn't part of his (by now, tired, yes) point to the effect of the exact opposite? ("trust your biology, folklore, etc., they're better than experts telling you things"; "i won't give advice on $currency because i don't hold positions in $currency hence not exposed to the risk", so on)
Framedragger: maybe this is an instance of turning $1b into $1m, tho
☟︎ Framedragger: (well he did retire in his 20s by doing trading and also correctly shorting for the 2008 meltdown)
Framedragger: no i agree, should educate self before saying things like that, so will do.
Framedragger: i'll search later but if you have references handy, would be helpful and would read
Framedragger: i'm not convinced he lied (NOT TROLLING/BAITING) :D i think he may have just been daft, and expecting to be taken seriously when saying "oh i did dis. look an article"
Framedragger: but also a useful reminder that scanz done here are not original, and it's not an instance of "this was done before, whoops no data to show there." (ironically took a look at censys.io due to
https://eprint.iacr.org/2015/262.pdf (hanno boeck's article))
Framedragger: ^ could be useful (obvs would be even more useful to replicate all that data and own it (so to speak))
Framedragger: it's nice to be able to compress these structures so well in the mind, the patterns are so..predictable, it's insane
Framedragger: you know, i've never seen this pattern so excellently executed. tip-top. straight from the 'how to survive as a tick' rulebook. (maybe because i can follow closely in native tongue and have keener sense of smell towards these fucks)
Framedragger: the fat turd in question is otherwise 'well respected', at forefront of history academia in .lt, etc. etc.
Framedragger: *how could they have not been included???* NOBODY ASKED US!!111 meanwhile dude in question is humble, says "well, doubt is essential to science", and smiles.
Framedragger: see, it may have been supposed to be *him*. next year will mark 100y of independence, parades, state fiatola for 'history research' assigned, etc.; but beyond the banal, i *particularly* like the transparent sheer *indignation* by the 'historians' that this dude just.. read some books.. lifted his ass up.. took a bus to berlin (literally).. and that's it.
Framedragger: especially their leader, this ridiculous fat turd who nevertheless is featured in various tv shitshows ('to popularise history', you know) -- he's just plain jelly as fuck, (quote) "i don't even know this schmuck, some kind of driver (sic; literal), i would have great doubts as to the document's authenticity [meanwhile confirmed by germany archivists etc etc etc]", so on and so forth, in a complete caricature-like jelly manner.
Framedragger: that's nice, but the true _soviet_ of the story is, official 'bigtime' academic 'historians' / 'history' 'professors' in .lt (with bigtime names and state grants for 'projects') got *livid*.
Framedragger: in other newz, a nice dude, one liudas mažylis (after several months of research) found .lt's original declaration of independence (1918) in berlin's archives.
Framedragger: heh someone just logged in to an old buttfinex acct. websecurity
Framedragger: wonder if anyone's here read some fodor and his attempt at naturalised theory of meaning
Framedragger: i thought that was somehow obscurely intentional (but didnt understand why)
Framedragger: asciilifeform: (aha seems to have been the case. opensorest in 1998)
Framedragger: asciilifeform: (aha seems to have been the case. opensorest in 1998)
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: telecoms multinational but you'll see w/e, so w/e
Framedragger: for posterity, rust does have things like raw pointers (and no gc), etc.; but the kommunity around it is at this point perhaps ~insufferable, much like the javascript hipster legions. which is not a point to be ignored
Framedragger: but this is along the lines of "could be coal miner, chucking coal 18h/day". well yeah...
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: i thought he was being a bit satirical and snarky in that particular passage you quote (those two paras), from when i read it first. not that his general pose of presenting an excuse (if diligently detailed) of this kind of a good sign, of course. just that the tone is not *that* bad. (but, okay, perhaps bad enough when the piece is considered in whole.)
Framedragger: (i also called them to inquire but teh law is that they can't tell me more than on a postcard (which gives amount to pay, basically, i mean for srs). i may have gleaned something more by showing up at relevant delivery office (not the closest one) but i didn't bother (paid online and got it posted to my door))
Framedragger: i can post it later but need to finish a thing tonight
Framedragger: the only form they gave me was basically a fucking postcard saying "you gotta pay us if you want it"
Framedragger: minimum import duty amount ~£8, *but* there is a tax for the tax (not kiddin) - administrative fee - which is also £8, so £16 in total for import (lololol)
Framedragger: it *could* be that it's because asciilifeform nicely noted down a dollar value on the parcel but then if he didn't he'd technically be breaking some law or another i'm sure
Framedragger: re. FUCKGOATS customs hold-up in UK: according to their story the hold-up with uk customs was due to them having to apply import duty (had to pay a bit) from u.s., *even though* i've had plenty of shit sent in from u.s. of a. before, so who knows (they wouldn't tell me more) :D
☟︎☟︎ Framedragger: CompanionCube: in my view they're just continuing on a well-set path... opportunistically used london terror attack to repeat 'e2e encryption is going away' to acclimatise folks when they're more 'receptive'... etc.
Framedragger: i guess so - it doesn't seem capable of leading one anywhere, so to speak. (this connects with (again) "generates nothing to be falsified"). iirc they tried to connect with "mirror neurons" etcetc "look we make it more concrete", but it was too eclectic / a cheat (don't recall, for anyone curious the article in question was iirc
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3223025/ )
Framedragger: idea is stimulating to me but maybe that's about it.
Framedragger: definitely some kind of circular presupposition yeah (+ "i love recursion!!!" "i've read hofstadter" vibe)
Framedragger: guess so. (guess you can trace quite a bit of jaynes in it yeah.) not enough evidence for sure, and not concrete enough (to generate falsifiable predictions, etc.)
Framedragger: but it's *expensive* and there are lots of ways to short-circuit the mechanism (cheating the award mechanism to think you've accomplished something, etc.) not rigorous at all but yeah
Framedragger: somehow reminds me of a theory in social neuroscience (not original of course) whereby genesis of 'self-awareness' is attributed to buildup of neural machinery to predict what the other social animals in a group are doing/thinking. you end up having to predict what the other animal is predicting *you* to be doing, hence have to have a model of your own attention/awareness.
Framedragger: balancing the democracy stack takes up lotsa memory...
Framedragger: reminds me of your story about observing a dog which attempted to systematically find a new owner. sanest mammal in town sorta deal
Framedragger: i'm sure that down south they'd also patronisingly stare at you if you dared smoke a cigarette in a park. the scottish at least tend to give less of a fuck, but still a nanny state 100%
Framedragger: oh yeah! nuts indeed :( sad view. and in general parks are a bore in the uk
Framedragger: and in general were snow to appear, they would go bonkers. like for instance use rakes in edinburgh to try to make it disappear from streets (duly observed)
Framedragger: no snow! it's actually spring here (or well, was yesterday lol, good enough for a nice picnic), and ~here~ is scotland, down south could be even better
Framedragger: well so far all i've got is that camera temperature was allegedly 29 degrees (C) which makes me to conclude after careful consideration that it must be "some place real warm at night". :)
Framedragger: asciilifeform: ack! got yer package after customs cleared it. visually looks intact and in good order. (won't be able to test it till ~weekend)
Framedragger: to reframe into a pragmatic context, my log doesn't and won't for the time being (busy af) have search. as regards its formal status, i don't know man, but i'll just keep maintaining it :)
Framedragger: at the very least the definite article 'the' wouldn't be the one i use
Framedragger: (scriba should have an option to force rearchiving i suppose. it does tell me if it fails to submit to archive (if archive.is does not return 'ok'), but in this case as far as archive.is is concerned, it's been properly archived; the fact that the contens say 'wotpaste: nothing found' is not its problem.)
Framedragger: oh shite, says 'nothing found'. could it be that the ID had already been used long ago? i suppose so
Framedragger: ycumbinator is funding some kind of experiment or some shit iirc
Framedragger: (i think it's just because there's a customs fee to be paid but will see - lulzy)
Framedragger: never happened before, will be fun to inquire why
Framedragger: asciilifeform: parcel arrived at delivery office but (lol i was right) got held up by customs :D
Framedragger: here i have seq but no jot. i see, so no guarantee
Framedragger: !!v CB100C13DC966135F1D4D0FD4FBDC994EEAA381B961D96516A407FA51DAD3151
Framedragger: doppler: ah right, seq is actually a binary, fancy that (so works outside bash - hence why various .sh scripts use seq instead of bash's {} i guess, to be more compatible? just a guess)
Framedragger: phf: just curious, you wrote `seq` yourself? 'cuz bash already has seq built-in
Framedragger: trinque: sorry for the noise, man. you're right, of course.
