mircea_popescu: i'm not entirely clear why the thiord phase is 160 rather than 110 in eu syste, but anywya
mircea_popescu: europe uses 220 for residential, 380 optional. or otherwise you can get a 2 or 5kv industrial line.
mircea_popescu: i wonder if this is related to the "feelings driven" pseudo cultural economy.
mircea_popescu: my usual approach to reading text of unknown origin is not so different from the pagerank algorithm, whereas the meaning of discourse nodes (words, generally) is narrowed by the other nodes in the graph until the whole thing collapses into something.
mircea_popescu: it seems more akin to some sort of performance act than speech.
mircea_popescu: us army used to consist of ... soldiers. now it's mostly acneic tomboys of indeterminate gender wanting to play counterstrike
mircea_popescu: tbh, it has all the makings of a great DoD "investment"
mircea_popescu: so i take it the leaky submarine's still being worked on ?
mircea_popescu: those 8 years were started in a much better time for usg.
mircea_popescu: i never heard of anyone sleeping as you say through "Taking what was given"
mircea_popescu: if that bunch of watsap scammers got 20bn, i have no idea why anyone would take less than 10 bn a head from usg.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i don't see anything directly wrong with that model.
mircea_popescu: but otherwise, i have to strike the foregoing. i never challenged orlov.
mircea_popescu: dear peoiple : seriously, stop with the google blogs. you're indistinct.
mircea_popescu: when we discussed the "inflation in romania" factual error in one of his articles.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field if you recall, i challenged orlov and he came out with "I am a robot doing the above".
mircea_popescu: imo the entire menagerie, orlov, yarvin, whoi have you are simply doing this by hand
mircea_popescu: which is why i propose to do the job with a computer. it's plowing, there's no reason to pay for it.
mircea_popescu: but derived from it, a decent pseudo-AI project would be to make a long list of propositions, sort them in a thousand or so lists (ie blogs) and "publish" "articles".

mircea_popescu: because yes, if science were "open to all comers" in this sense, it'd just get ddos'd into the shit by S's.
mircea_popescu: at the very margin, this discussion reduces to the discussion of al schwartz' lack of access to measuring processes, if you recall it.
mircea_popescu: anyway. this argument is both too complex to be readily "intuited" by the children and also its results are deeply inconvenient to their wants and expectations (mostly of playing the spy and generalsly speaking "mattering" in their own head), and so i don't expect the S process to go away. it's prolly going to be productive enough to become a mode of "culture" on the interwebs.
