mircea_popescu: there WAS the molten metal tech, same
as what they printed the 1929 nyt on. but cca 1970s it was replaced by photo
mircea_popescu: suddenly puts the ai
as digital-machine-intelligence problem in its proper perspective, and also supplies a very good explanation for the genysym issue. people going think() are ACTUALLY approaching the river at the other end.
mircea_popescu: i'll receive it
as i'll receive it, that's my problem.
mircea_popescu: depict in
as what, adding some screenshots in the text ?
mircea_popescu: moli_ i think the media's just
as petrified of saying my name today
as years ago.
mircea_popescu: next time just load the fucking images,
as images, like trilema does it.
phf: pretty much
as close
as it gets to pdf-izing html
Framedragger: yesyes, the whole format is broken, yes EC, so basically almost
as bad
as bitcoin :)
Framedragger: is itoa implemented in stdlib by default, then,
as expected? NO! because fuck you
mircea_popescu: this'd seem to explain why the redditards are single,
as opposed to harem'd. not why they're poor.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-18 12:40 phf: i will probably get this wrong, but
as far
as i understand, here houses are sold any arbitrary number above list, and it's whatever seller can get away with
ave1: my division was many times slower (
as I did a shift N left on every iteration)
mircea_popescu: javascript idiots actually implemented base64
as "btoa" and "atob".
phf: i will probably get this wrong, but

☟︎ mircea_popescu: almost
as if it were the case the whole "contradictions" bs is really a subcase of "unearthing hypocrisy", ie the traditional codeword of the inept adolescent "fighting" with authority.
mircea_popescu: mortar and pestle, graded pipettes, tube for your own burning, bunsen burners you could hook to same thing
as stove, etc.
mircea_popescu: "leveraging the synergies" or how's it called, "ironing out the waste and inefficiency" ? anyway. why need apple when has windows and intel ? samsung can make the tablets
as usg.intel profit center.
mircea_popescu: once it's obvious that either everything has a purpose or nothing does, it's therefore established there is no such thing
as purpose.
mircea_popescu: the clear proof (for the expert) that purpose is meaningless is the simple fact that if you accept it, then it follows
as universal, whereas if you don't accept it, it's universally absent. this is always and everywhere the fate of null notions.
mircea_popescu: which is why a good hospital is the one where the doctor says "well mr p, here's what we could do to you"
as opposed to "here's what we want to do "
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this theory of yours is flawed. there is no such thing
as purpose in nature.
ben_vulpes: not wrong so much
as very fittingly /silly/
mircea_popescu: and the simile is, "if your lungs and liver and etcetera worked the way you code, you'd be just
as dead
as this guy."
a111: Logged on 2015-01-29 05:22 asciilifeform:
as in, hot iron.
mircea_popescu: don't like the guy's driving, shoot his kid. sure, "kid is innocent", "that was uncalled for" bla bla. point fucking remains -- now he has to make another one, which takes no driving. at driving -- he sucks, so he can't appreciate what that means. putatively at other thing he doesn't suck nearly
as much, so he CAN appreciate.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes, but the usual retellings don't include the EMH reference, there's no explanation
as to why it worked.
mircea_popescu: but the best thing that you could do
as google manager is, have swat teams round up all the employees in a field somewhere, randomly shoot 10% and tell the rest the next round of shooting is in six weeks, they'd better impress.
mircea_popescu: vory/suka, for the record, is this ancient dispute in ru penal system, whereby it is verboten for respectable criminal to help the government. this going about
as far
as the jews, dudes won't push a fucking button.
mircea_popescu: the way scum reproduction works is that when scum's tiny it does dumb shit like this and nobody really cares about it ; then
as it grows up it moves to stealing mysql and naming it something else, like facebook.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-17#1657324 << funnily mirror of the "We used to go out and talk to women, which was interesting, but it turns out you don't need to do all that,
as there's all these... um... uh... massive...errr... data..sets, yeah, that's right, massive datasets to explore!"
☝︎ mircea_popescu: but they're not learning anything, which is to say,
as a self-transformative activity. they're "learning" in the sense of "raising awareness" about themselves, which is to say : they expect, or rather act
as if they rightfully expected, that the whole world changes so
as to accomodate them
as they are. that's the whole story of this "learning".
a111: Logged on 2017-02-18 22:29 asciilifeform: '... what was once dedication is replaced by greed and sometimes sheer need
as the motivation to enter the field.'
phf: i saw a rambling talk by peter norvig (he called it "
as we may program", considering the complete lack of substance that's
as bombastic reference
as it gets)
diana_coman: phf, the sad reality is that "school" nowadays *teaches* kids stack overflow/monkey copy/paste/ you-can-program-without-knowing-maths
as "the way to learn"
BingoBoingo: And no, Apple is not
as big
as Sears was. Apple sells no iHouse, and Apple has never conducted a public service on the scale of Sears donations of toilet paper to the masses that they wrote off
as marketing
trinque: trump loves suing people; what prevents him
as president for suing the rag for libel?
mircea_popescu: there's no such thing
as genuine naivite enduring over half a decade unchanged.
mircea_popescu: otherwise, same
as in korea - 20 years of slowly fading away.
mircea_popescu: while that lasts. god knows the scum are trying their best to scumify china
as well ; and sadder still -- the ~only reason it exists is that it's really just an alternate pathway to scum. slightly different sort of cockroach, that's all and no more.
Framedragger: hailed
as "citizen kane of bad movies". for a reason! it's terrible, horrible, amazing movie you should watch!
ben_vulpes: prototype the stack
as a "turbo furace"
pete_dushenski:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-14#1655830 << speaking of throttles, 'car throttle' was started at the same time
as my old car site by a very entrepreneurial brown brit by the name of adnan ebrahim. we used to email back and forth in those early, uncertain days and we met up in london in 2014 for a few drinks. he obviously went the vc-route and has done very well by the metrics of that world, certainly better
☝︎ pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: not saying you should depart with btc for $car, but i've yet to meet the seller who turned down,
as you say, incadollars.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: india isn't
as socially stratified
as it used to be. member of parliament was recently banned for ~all air india flights~ for chiding an attendant who stuck him in an economy seat.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: even artist can grow up
as poor canadian, never exposed to culture, and continue 'successful career' equally sheltered, shuttling from airport to hotel and hotel to arena, forever contained in $bubble.
mircea_popescu: shinohai its position
as 5th altcorn yo. not it's. its.
BingoBoingo: Only disadvantage I am seeing here is that reconfiguring chainsaw to be chainsaw instead of bike mover takes time. Time that could be used to clear obstructions like hamplanets had one been simply traveling
as a pedestrian with a chainsaw.
BingoBoingo: Advantage of chainsaw
as powertrain is having a chainsaw to clear road obstructions provided rest of chainsaw is kept in saddle bag.
mod6: probably some. i think i've had it quite a bit. not to the point of decay or amputation or anything. but there've been many times I remember playing hockey outdoors
as a kid in 10 or 20 below f weather.
mod6: i've always wanted to do my best, or be
as good
as I can be at something that interested me. im not
as smart or
as clever
as many, but I put in the work. i find that putting in the work pays dividends later.
mod6: altogether, i'm trying to stay focused on trb too. and learn these other topics
as I go.
mircea_popescu: mod6 basically, a digital machine has no real reason to store a 1
as a 1 rather than any other arbitrary time-pattern
mircea_popescu:
as the one, the only, the forever carlin said, "the man himself was philosophical about it : it's that much less skin to wash."
Framedragger recommends egan's "wang's carpets", to contribute, in all seriousness. (later incorporated
as a chapter in his "diaspora", asciilifeform will know)
mircea_popescu: "sure, and
as anything they want to! there's a fortran for that."
Framedragger: the pulsar part i think would count
as asciilifeformic diagram, maybe. but just that, and only just
mircea_popescu: connectsolutions got aquihired by aaski (usg front, recently got 1bn in pork for unspecified services. primo target for some data liberation,
as it happens.)
mircea_popescu:
as if anyone gives a flying fuck what difficulties middle eastern dorks have in going naked down the street.
mircea_popescu: anywya, im not reading this pile of garbage ; but from the skimming -- the whole argument is born of ignorance. reddit got its start
as a heaven for child porn peddlers who got banned on digg.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: (for the record, since apparently dictionaries are
as shitty
as always - no, prepuce is not "technical term for foreskin". it is technical term for the space between foreskin and the glans ; similarily, it is not the skin surrouinding the clitoris, ie clitoral hood, but the fold between the two.)
mircea_popescu: whatever, they're too fucking smart and in charge of things and matters to be catholics like "those beasts" of "the dark ages". too busy getting "just the facts" and "drawing their own conclusions" so
as to be polytheistic dorks like the aztecs, the harappan, and whatever other tribes forgotten through disuse.
mircea_popescu: "the sun was walking down shithead avenue in maryland, and
as it sat down at the starbucks it felt a ..."
mircea_popescu: the whole fucking thing is that for ~
as long
as there existed human culture, which is to say the greeks, it was both known, evident, and accepted that the situation of life on earth is precarious, and the party will end.
BingoBoingo: And
as socialists candadians treat money and markets
as a waste stream
