hanbot: BingoBoingo diana_coman mircea_popescu "right mess" indeed lol. anyway, i appreciated bb's story on account of its total lack of fear or restraint, and diana's for its jabs, particularly the spellchecker. i'll be naming myself though, on the simple criteria of having liked it best. as far as second and third places go i'll name bb second and diana third, for no other reason than to see all possible positions expressed. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: Anyways I think this is progress because the buck seems as though it will inevitably be passed unfairly back to mircea_popescu

diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-04#1562842 <- I find myself agreeing and disagreeing with everyone on this so it's a right mess; agreeing with mircea_popescu on it being close, quite disagreeing with him on this newly found democratic idea of passing on the hot potato; agreeing with BingoBoingo on the importance of one voting for oneself first, I'll do just that and vote for myself first; will vote for hanbot 2nd for her rectibu ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2016-11-02 16:11 mircea_popescu: "With Nate Silver putting Trump on a 28.8 per cent chance of victory, it’s almost unbelievable that the race could be so close, given the consequences.

phf: mircea_popescu: dog slow is same as intractable but applied to system design, solution that theoretically works but in practice takes too long to be useful. depending on the kind of algorithms involved dog slow has different solutions, like if it's a linear algorithm, then you can solve dog slow with a faster machine, but if it's a polynomial complexity algorithm, then dog slow might be solved by putting constraints on inputs
trinque: mircea_popescu: I can't develop on that imagined computer any more than Eulora wrote its own OS.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> pro tip : you can still jumpstart cars today as in 1916 << Some German "innovashuns" are exceptions. Unless your bar for "jumpstarting" only carries to turning motor over then still true.
asciilifeform: but i suspect that the acid will win in mircea_popescu's case. nuke builder does not want to make the booby overly sensitive, killing himself
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: fwiw the idea was to make it cheaper to make own nuke than to recycle opponent's.
asciilifeform: for some reason i thought that mircea_popescu cremated all of these when he moved out of ro

a111: Logged on 2016-10-29 19:24 mircea_popescu: just going by it generally. esltards pretend whiskey to be an actual drink (it utterly is not, fruit alcohol is the only stuff worth drinking), and if we grant that faulty premise then 40 bucks for a quart of flawless whiskey compares favourably with a middle of the road cognac going more in the 100-200 range.
