mircea_popescu: trinque always struck me as a case of "i know these people are right but i don'
t want them to be" internal tension.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: trinque i imagine dood just didn'
t know how to proceed and too weird to ask.
trinque: at any rate, the thing's HORRIBLY NAMED AND DEFINED class tree is bad enough; I don'
t think I'd ever sign anything that introduces yet another atop.
mircea_popescu: this a) re an ip that hasn'
t sent any mail in the past i dunno, six months ? and b) from the phuctor people.
mircea_popescu: shinohai i actually don'
t mind it, it's sort of like trying to write only in aliterations.
mircea_popescu: heck, in one of the many plaintive items about "omfg you aren;'
t going to believe the state of nuke tech", there even was the story of jhow bluetooth is bannable offense.
phf: asciilifeform: i haven'
t had a chance to meet with zeptobars guy yet, but will do before the end of my visit
phf: asciilifeform: yeah, it was a very niche thing. a sort soviet retro future exhibit that somehow survived through the 90s. i don'
t quite remember what else was there, plasma globes, various magnet accentuated magnetic liquids, that sort of stuff
phf:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-13#1713800 << one of the appeals of VDNH back in the day was a tucked-in-the-corner collection of Denisyuk holograms. so i went there again, place is almost a shell at this point, BUT one of the buildings was taken over by polytechnical museum, not only did they make a rather nifty science (without quotes!) museum but they also preserved all those old holograms. i suspect i wasn'
t the only one who loved
☝︎ mircea_popescu: eg, item indeed dun exist but no obvious reason why it couldn'
t be made.
a111: Logged on 2017-09-13 18:06 asciilifeform: ideallly. i don'
t have a fixedtime reciprocal finder.
mircea_popescu: also lulzy, in simiular vein, though i wouldn'
t for a moment call it "capitalist hell". it is pure and simple collapse among the symbols, as typified in teh elevator scene.
mircea_popescu: (no, the present socialism isn'
t the first to run headfirst into the female brick wall. who could have predictered!)
mircea_popescu: (it didn'
t help that it was in the torah of the time, as per saint habarnam gospels, "only blockprinted")
mircea_popescu: oh btw, should prolly formalize the function/mechanism thing from yest a bit. so, a function (in the correct, math understanding, a "procedure" in cs lingo is no different, which is why lisp hasn'
t "procedures") denotes correct results, but does not connote any particular method of obtaining them. this is no good for us, in many military applications, where we must actually specify not merely WHAT is being sought, but also HO
mircea_popescu: i can'
t say that i know. what complexity is our current item ?
mircea_popescu: entirely orthogonal tech stacks ; and wouldn'
t you know it that the simple man's reaction to perceptible orthogonality is to pick one and pretend the rest dun exist.
trinque: got to take trip(s) to paris, etc, didn'
t she?
mircea_popescu: heck, they don'
t wanna fuck them as it is, TODAY! look through the dating sites, two thirds of black female profiles indicate "no black males" in some manner (such as, "no gangstas" or whatever)
mircea_popescu: the proposition that there existed black woman in the time discussed who didn'
t similarily bask in "omfg, WHITE MAN!!! is scratching me between the legs" is out and out ridiculous anachronism.
a111: Logged on 2017-09-13 17:00 trinque: such racism, to assume that sally hemings couldn'
t possibly have *liked* jefferson.
BingoBoingo: Yeah, it didn'
t take. through Mitsubishi years they did economy thing with lonely Viper and Neon SRT-4 being only power offerings that weren'
t trucks
mircea_popescu: i thought they were trying for the economy thing. didn'
t take huh.
mircea_popescu: they also didn'
t have eg "total make-over" shows and so on.
apeloyee: can'
t extract a reduced-length number?
trinque: such racism, to assume that sally hemings couldn'
t possibly have *liked* jefferson.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: besides, you won'
t make one, you'll make say 100. because fuck it.
ben_vulpes: point stands, don'
t use decorative materials for the precision tracks
mircea_popescu: anyway, doesn'
t mix well with other metals is its main thing.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform silver dun tarnish lol, there's such a thing as proper silver. and it has low melting point and easy to work and it doesn'
t grow fungi.
mircea_popescu: it's not automatically bad just for being a list ; you don'
t have to pare it down.
mircea_popescu: good for you ; but your problem isn'
t what you presented it as being.
mircea_popescu: this approach of "i have a girlfriend and i am blind to all else" doesn'
t work with girlfriends, or anything else.
mircea_popescu: so you won'
t have many passes of it. just as many as elements in list at the most.
mircea_popescu: rothbart you're perhaps too new to know this, but the PREVIOUS time there was "miner consensus" it turned out the miners that "voted" and "supermajority" didn'
t give the slightest shit about the whole thing, and did NOT actually implement what they were misrepresented as having supported.
mircea_popescu: but whatever, i don'
t mind making money out of mit's "blockchain of the future", like i didn'
t mind fleecing "ripple" or cashing btc crash. free bitcoin will continue for as long as usg can draw breath, i'm not against. let them lose what they can'
t invest.
rothbart: wouldn'
t he have to redo all that PoW since segwit wen'
t active on his fork?
rothbart: I've been trying to grok the segwit "theft" incentive - as the bounty grows, so does the PoW defending it - doesn'
t this keep the segwit outputs safe?
☟︎ rothbart: asciilifeform - haven'
t even started syncing it yet - still processing the plan in light of your advice (ie. sweeping via trb first)
rothbart: asciilifeform - cheers. I read the article about the Cardano, but don'
t see it on NSA site?
rothbart: I've registered a public key with the bot, but haven'
t verified it yet (key was generated on GPG4Win) - should I start over from my Linux box, with a new public key?
mircea_popescu: but generally wouldn'
t want to ; fake teeth are not made this way because not really good enough.
mircea_popescu: anyway, only reason dentist doesn'
t bake you a new dentine layer is the temperature involved ; in a lab you can make arbitrarily large un-enammeled tooth.
mircea_popescu: it's not even so expensive, in today's terms. if only we didn'
t live among anodyne barbarians and the tech stack all rotten away.
mircea_popescu: (and yes, wood is a plastic is the key to ANOTHER side of "you didn'
t read up on your art in college, you lose" surprisebox. because yes, wood will do the "Doluble injection cast mold". it was the arab world equivalent of chinese china. look up "mother of pearl"
mircea_popescu: the important categories in this discussion are metals (ie, materials where the electrons don'
t sit with their atom ; form cloud. these -- always conductive electrically) ; porcelains (or glasses, or ceramics, or how'd you call them) and then plastics (polymerized item).
mircea_popescu: and y'all have to thank bb for mentioning this, because i don'
t take iron to the wood so to speak.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i wasn'
t aware your design envelope was going to randomly expand to "i want a wrench droppable kbd now too".
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: is trying to slip into the crack between 'science, indisputable facts!' and 'can'
t make a sword blade out of ceramic dummy, wrong situation'?
mircea_popescu: facts aren'
t open to engineering, they're the subjects o' science.
mircea_popescu: we weren'
t discussing an application ; we were discussing a fact.
ben_vulpes: myeah, dent test don'
t make so much sense applied to ceramics
