asciilifeform: at risk of digressing, i will note that it is gut-bustingly funny that people who cannot produce a comp that doesn't crash, prattle on about planet-reshaping wunderwaffen
kanzure: wouldn't roasting to death interfere with your no-suck computer goals
kanzure: no that doesn't work so well; private space ventures would then also be world government instruments.
asciilifeform: how about, say, i ~like~ warmer climate, and don't want it 'mitigated' ?
trinque: if you can't communicate a specific model, why are you talking, other than to cast your upvote for whatever futurememe gives you a semi?
kanzure: also: around these parts, is it sacrilege to speak about technologies that aren't at the far end of nasa's readiness scale? that might explain a lot. ☟︎
kanzure: isn't it a little early for me to mae such a specific proposal..?
trinque: no, you haven't
kanzure: i haven't absorbed the implication of logged channels?
trinque: channel's logged bub, and you still haven't absorbed the implications of that.
asciilifeform: i ain't ever joining in this 'we'.
asciilifeform: kanzure: what part of 'i don't want to be shaded' is hard to understand ?
ben_vulpes: more of the classic progressive "we'll fix the world for the poor brown people, because they can't want it for themselves"
trinque: it was brought up in the context of "climate change". don't slime sideways now.
asciilifeform: or how about 'i didn't ask to be shaded' ?
trinque: if that old cunt knows exactly how much money to print "to grow the economy" why wouldn't some other old cunt know exactly how much solar shield to build
ben_vulpes: also gimme a break, the root cause here is the chain reaction of burning all of the stored hydrocarbons, and it ain't going to stop until all of the fuel is gone.
asciilifeform: i gotta wonder, kanzure , you don't like money ? or what. ( or make it not by selling anything ? )
asciilifeform: 13:08 < kanzure> why do you think we don't already have 10 copies of this shit?
mircea_popescu: totally. what the fuck is kik anyway, the irrelevant nonservice that facebook didn't buy for a trillion ?
mircea_popescu: wtf does buying "their" version of the usg coin get me ? "uhhh... same as the republic's" bitch... you can't be the same as the republic. you suck ; the republioc doesn't.
mircea_popescu: We're Boring And Stupid doesn't quite have the same sound to it
asciilifeform: point being, they don't align phasewise: so N W-watt diode != N*W watt tube.
asciilifeform: that won't make the waves align
asciilifeform: of small ( 1-5W) diodes. and they don't cohere together (because how?)
asciilifeform: it dun make sense at low power, to bother, so they ain't made small.
asciilifeform: ( if you don't recirculate -- e.g., mine, does not -- limits power greatly, because gotta exchange heat )
kanzure: "Anyways, it doesn't actually do magic swole imparting without at least some exercise" not according to some studies. i mean it depends on how magic you're looking for.
BingoBoingo: kanzure: So what really is the selling point of hplus if it can't beat Trenbolone?
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-29#1705103 << that convo doesn't support your interpretation. ☝︎
kanzure: i don't know why you are surprised or confused about any of this. you don't do this kind of butt sniffing? it's what dogs do.
mircea_popescu: no ; but so far the story here seems to be that the crowning achievement of a decade's effort is one item that happened a coupla weeks ago and you don't care about.
mircea_popescu: you don't ?
kanzure: a few weeks i don't care
kanzure: well last update i got is that we're still testing it, maybe he hasn't configured shopify what a shame
a111: Logged on 2017-08-29 15:27 kanzure: asciilifeform: what projects would you like to see specifically? didn't like the electroporator?
a111: Logged on 2017-08-29 14:31 asciilifeform: i can't decide if this is more or less hilarious than gaseous food.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-29#1704901 << no but... he has a point doesn't he. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, <@fenn> nobody ever got rich by not asking for money << i don't recall my ever asking anyone.
kanzure: i haven't. just the graphs (that was one-off).
BingoBoingo: Trinque isn't washing away for the same reason I didn't wash away this spring or winter of 2015. White priviledge.
BingoBoingo: IRL the rain girl's name is monique. She don't really care about her BF and half her baby dadies are in Louisiana's Angola penitentiary.
kanzure: why can't i type urls right anymore
mircea_popescu: it very well fucking won't.
asciilifeform: will remark, that microscopes ain't made of meat, either
mircea_popescu: so far the danger doesn't seem too great though.
a111: 8 results for "computers you can't program", http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=computers%20you%20can%27t%20program
asciilifeform: !#s computers you can't program
mircea_popescu: < kanzure> well who's at the top then << i am, aren't i.
mircea_popescu: phf i perceive he's trying. doesn't know how is separate issue.
phf: mircea_popescu: i actually think we had a thread. activity is either happening, and thus further cultivated (i.e. doers encouraged, talkers are shed, whatever the method), or else there's nothing happening at all. in a sense that you can't draw your pistol faster than your draw speed, so there's nothing really to worry about. i ~suspect~ that there's just no effective culling happening
mircea_popescu: you don't want the "color levels" nonsense of bitmap/jpeg family. you want the gif palette, and a clearly explicit mapping to the electron microscope output.
mircea_popescu: (i don't mean animated gifs, i mean paletted.)
asciilifeform: ic dies don't move.
asciilifeform: phf: can't permit a doingnothers-gap!11
kanzure: death rays ain't what they used to be
mircea_popescu: the only time they don't dare is when the girl is right there and she's taller than them and as the song went, "modelul nou de fata s-ar putea sa-l bata"
asciilifeform: 'one you aren't using'
asciilifeform: 'What about if we just block all possible ways to do this? We could block the production of any of these dangerous things? We could have someone decide. But it would also block legit things, and people will work around it. Another thing we could do- we plan to introduce blocks of some sort, but we don't have a plan for how those blocks will work. '
mircea_popescu: i don't think anyone can be arsed to process them.
asciilifeform: which is why don't wait for'em to sink 1km down!1111
mircea_popescu: "as it is now, you can't have any jobs because there aren't any. but if there were some, you still couldn't have any, this time for being the suck."
asciilifeform: couplea shades ~below~. you couldn't stay in business as a vacuum repairman with this type of empty skullcase.
asciilifeform: all this international trade of drugs? You can't make any of the drugs we have right now in a clandestine way. You have to have giant tanks, or fields of poppeye. I have no idea what the effects of this are, but I think they are probably really big.'
mircea_popescu: <@fenn> just dumping this rare element overboard for no reason other than we don't feel like keeping it anymore << speaking of He, it's pretty much the only material in which usg has a monopoly. china and to some degree russia own the rare earths/heavy metals, but teh u7s got teh heliumz.
mircea_popescu: i don't know anyone who doesn't.
asciilifeform: ublished work on bioterrorism stuff. Bonafide researchers in academic institutions are (aren't?) on the list. We've only had one circumstance where we had someone we chose not to sell to, and we referred to the FBI in 10 years of business. It's not a huge practical issue, but it doesn't take a lot of mistakes.'
asciilifeform: 'I would consider it irresponsible to sell a potentially dangerous composition of matter to someone who you don't know or haven't met. It's just bad judgement. Most of the people on that list are either folks with a history of exclusion for various fraudalent activities, either domestically or internationally, or people who might potentially being terrorists kinda environment, or folks who have published in North Korea, or who have p
mircea_popescu: kanzure i can't discern much from this wall of links. can i have a three sentence summary ?
kanzure: wheelchairs, can't build a wheelchair according to 'em
asciilifeform: kanzure: join doesn't put the people who were talking, magically back, and you folx don't appear to have a culture of linking to logz (or mechanism for handily pointing at individual lines)
kanzure: alf doesn't know about /join
mircea_popescu: heck, i met this chick in cairo, she lived inside a perfectly empty hole in the ground most us solitary inmates wouldn't deem fit as a prison. she had six children.
mircea_popescu: i'm merely pointing out to you that no, you don't.
mircea_popescu: because you don't want any or because there's a certain amount of equipment you need before you can have children ?
mircea_popescu: no and we don't want one.
mircea_popescu: you don't understand how the world works.
mircea_popescu: (honestly i'd prefer it if it weren't)
trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-29#1705403 << I didn't expect it to be used direct to address anyway, but rather to just change hands, then the other guy has to ask for a withdrawal ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i wasn't aware you had a such.
kanzure: you don't get pm's?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: seems like i've read the d00d before, long ago. but can't remember when, and where..
mircea_popescu: "can't emerge world" "tried ./rational.ist on it ?"
phf: mircea_popescu: i don't think a thinking man is any kind of ist. i think it's an affect, one could be a rationalist and then he's going to talk about occam and denounce causes, or one can be some kind of mystic, and then he's going to have a particular stance also. i don't think any of this has to do with with any sort of understanding.
asciilifeform: kanzure: now, here's 1 cnc tool for which you ~don't~ need rigidity -- electrolytic cutting head. was tried in su, and still (!) in production today, but 'industrial' scale. would be interesting to see compact version thereof. ( see old log )
kanzure: asciilifeform: you don't need mass
mircea_popescu: 14:43 < kanzure> i was just going through "the list" in my head (i don't really have a list, i'm just making things up that sound important) << ehehehe. this is becoming very alike that seinfeld episode where they had an opposite world and there was an opposte alf named fenn and so on. THE RSMT!!!
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-29#1704897 << see, the problem is not THAT it's ponyfic ; but that it's bad. there's plenty of demand for good fearmongering (don't stick your tongue in wall socket, son!), the problem is there's no demand for bad fearmongering. it's the quality, not the kind of item, that's the problem. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: in particular phf what'd be the name for "opinions and actions based on "i don't see anything wroing with it"" ? still rationalist ?
a111: Logged on 2017-08-29 14:00 phf: but yes i still think that you're a rationalist, without quotes. i don't think you would object to it, i mean, if you go by definition (opinions and actions based on reason and knowledge) rather than "rationalwiki" "rationalist".
asciilifeform: or kako's 'shitcoin forks went away on their own, they just didn't feel like winning'
mircea_popescu: i don't think that really even happened. i mean... WHAT PROOF DO WE HAVE
mircea_popescu: the captured male how to behave so it doesn't rub wrongly. Example suffices, he will perhaps protest but certainly learn and definitely change to fit the limit on his penis. It's not like he's not very eager to alter his behaviour so he can maintain that sweet, sweet delicious cage for longer, for as long as possible, forever. Whatever he may say, it's all window-dressing for that simple, fundamental fact -- he's happier neu ☟︎
mircea_popescu: protective confines of your steel gift. They do want to, all of them do. Impediments, such as exist, all come from circumstantial happenstance, you have to be careful not to pinch their delicate skins putting it on -- and mind that for every inch of physical skin males have miles upon miles of mind-skins enveloping them like a far-reaching cocoon. Once on, you'll have to make sure it doesn't rub wrongly, and especially teach
mircea_popescu: "Every male you ever run into will be looking for an excuse, to explain to himself, and to "everyone else" as he represents that in his head, why he isn't doing, more, better, etcetera. You happen to have an exceptional answer, and one that he is extremely eager to receive from you. For this reason you are to expect no fundamental problems, it's not like you might run into a male that doesn't want to find himself in the safe,
asciilifeform: i can't comment, having not even a faint clue
asciilifeform: witness the response, also typical, 'oh hey , you don't fellate lincoln? you must LUVV AYNRAND then'
mircea_popescu: i can't. it's as incomprehensible to me as the girls. a boy that dun wanna fight, really ? exactly like a girl that dun wanna fuck, i look at these like a dog looks at a painted bone. "nice work i guess lol. but..."
mircea_popescu: myeah. good thing people are busy "thinking" about things they don't understand instead.
asciilifeform: 01:28 < fenn> i don't know how to do that and not interested in learning right now
