jurov: "vetoing out-of-hand a v/patch implementation
that diffs at
the sexpr level rather
than
the line level"
mircea_popescu: well... what was he declaring haram ? i'm confused on
that part.
shinohai: We forbid you
to forbid
things.
jurov: if it works for you, cool. every
time i
tried
to forbid somehing,
turned out I was
the fool.
mircea_popescu: more's
the point : whatcha mean with
the haram halal
thing jurov ?
mircea_popescu: anyway ; intel knows him, "one of
the more accurate predictors of apple's earnings" ; guy's been announcing "apple building new company" bla bla for a year
mircea_popescu: i have nfi who beil cybart is ; but
the article in question is spun copy, a notch under of
the conceptual value of fanfiction and about on par with wikipedia articles.
jurov: ben_vulpes: i'd definitely like
to see such
thing. otherwise i don't get
this obsession with marking stuff "halal" and "haram".
Framedragger: BingoBoingo: in
the merkel article, s/Germans having been
taking/Germans have been
taking/ ? :)
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: is
there an argument for vetoing out-of-hand a v/patch implementation
that diffs at
the sexpr level rather
than
the line level?
☟︎☟︎ shinohai: Lulziest headline of
today "Pablo Escobar's former hitman robbed in Medellin"
EDLionX: but it keeps
telling me
this:
EDLionX: im submitting my key
to deebot
EDLionX: oh man
thats even more condusing
EDLionX: but its confusing
the heck outta me
EDLionX: im just
trying
to import me gpg
to deedbot
mircea_popescu: i've never seen more reluctant male even among
the actual mongoloids.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-02 11:32 Framedragger:
totally recommend it, even if my film-recommendation-credit has run dry
mircea_popescu: it's impossible
to know, apparently
the "hello i am joe of clan moe" is no longer
taught in primary school.
trinque: got enough of
those in logs
trinque: "the internet is a place I make inane noises with other creatures
to soothe myself"
shinohai: Well at least he's not a
tulpa.
trinque finger hovers over
the button
jurov: you are unable
to say who/what are you :)
zKawaiiKittyz: Well I can asue you I have no
twitter with
this name xD
shinohai: A problem solved quite well by following
the instructions within
these hallowed walls.
trinque: same name is some kind of spam account on
twitter
BingoBoingo: Anyways zKawaiiKittyz Here's a sample way
to anwer
the question: "My dad's a gynecologist, he looks at vaginas all day long"
BingoBoingo: But introductions help make
the world go round. Let's play a game. It's called Who is your daddy and what does he do?
a111: Logged on 2016-12-06 21:10 mircea_popescu: pretty sure
the guy reads
the log with some sort of frequency.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i dun recall
the specifics but i
think
this may have been grafted not endogenous
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> eh pretty much every half-useful attempt at cancer has been 'bind $poison
to $selector' <<
That's essentially all of pharmacology. X fucks Y receptor
mircea_popescu: (general here means exactly
the same it does when i say we have a general cure for infection. it's not
that nobody can die of infections ; but
that
there's antibiotics, which mostly work.)
mircea_popescu: which is
the deep reason for a major redistribution of research resources from other fashionable causes
to cancer in
thepast decade, as cartman aptly observed.
mircea_popescu: there's been various successful
tests, including prostate-cancer-rat achieving complete remission
through 1 iv application. so we have maybe 50-50 chances
to see a ~general~ cure for cancer within our lifetime.
mircea_popescu: since recently dna understanding improved significantly, and
the workings of
the immune system, esp in its binding functions, became more understood ; and since complex molecule synthesis muchly developed as well, a universal cure for cancer based on
the principle of getting alpha-amanitin bound
to a specific
tumour cell seeking protein seems altogether very feasible.
mircea_popescu: and
to round off
the "fungi are interesting" general literacy
thread -
the way most (and
the most) poisonous mushrooms work is
through a substance
that inhibits extremely selectively rna polymerase 2.
this makes
the affected cells unable
to reproduce, and hence
the "eat destroying angel, get cramps/diarhea in
three days, drop dead in 7" effect.
mircea_popescu: they are some of
the most diverse biota, possibly 5
to 50mn different species.
mircea_popescu: (actually, for
they reading
to educate : most fungi live in more or less mutualistic relationships with lichens ; a few with
trees, which are advancedlichens)
mircea_popescu: governments,
turns out,
tend
to waste
their resources.
mircea_popescu: which is why i say, not much seriouys work done on
the actual
topic.
mircea_popescu: yes, but
there's a very few fungi
that are industrially relevant
mircea_popescu: in general
they were directed at "interesting"
things which didn't include fungi
mircea_popescu: if
they did produce anything useful in
the above vein i've never seen it.
mircea_popescu: which should prolly be a decent grant
topic for
the curious.
mircea_popescu: but afaik nobody has done serious work on "order species by spore resistance
to proton beam illumination".
mircea_popescu: there's planets with wild volcanoes of ethylene in our very solar system. red dwarf may make
them rather pleasant.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
there's some possibility
their spores made it out into outer space.
trinque: who said
those molecules give a shit about you
trinque: might be entirely natural
to fart around on a planet for a while
then get knocked by some rock onto
the next one
mircea_popescu: except
things like dog vomit, or
the previously discussed black alcohol modl.
they've been here fopr a long long
time now.
trinque: at any rate
the AI
thing is exactly "discover
the meaning of life"
