mircea_popescu: and now, on
the
thread of
this analytic approach, i may present
the
theory
that
the problem aren't
the idiot consumers, but very specific opression of
the english sort upstream.
mircea_popescu: this very neatly mirrors
the pub, drunks observation, and for very much
the same reason.
the driver's
the same oppressive attitude upstream.
mircea_popescu: (vaguely related, mp's grandmother once recounted
the observation of one of her highschool classmates, who pointed out
that
they (the girls in school) should be more respectful of
the prostitutes, because if it weren't for
them (the prostitutes) none of
them (the girls, in school) would be (girls, in school)."
mircea_popescu: i mean i've been
toying with it in pieces such as "what's
the
tmsr gdp", which is very much exactly
the same
thing as discussion here, but anwyay.
mircea_popescu has been on a "pricing in
tech" mental kick for
the past half hour, so i was looking at
that angle.
mircea_popescu: importantly, one
that can't be factored with
the other one.
mircea_popescu: "the place where you drink" or "the public house" aka "brothel", ie,
the place where disorderly (as per anglican/puritan definitions of order) is
tolerated, ie, a
tolerance house ?
mircea_popescu: so : if you change
the convention, your objects become undefined. what's "a processor" ?
mircea_popescu: the removal of drunks doesn't have anything
to do whatsoever with "pubs" and also "a drunk" is not
the same drunk.
mircea_popescu: in
the russian world, where drunks do exist, but
the drinking place (which is NOT a pub, even if
translated as such because what you gonna do) is supported by a social conventionthat has nothing
to do with drunkedness
mircea_popescu: in
the english world, where drunks and pubs exist, and
the observation re pubs existing because drunks, not because sunday drinkers holds,
there are a number of objects defined, such as
the fact
that a pub is really a public house (which is relevant if for instance you wonder why it should need or want a permit
to exist).
mircea_popescu: if you change
the culture, none of your symbols in
there are meaningful anymore.
mircea_popescu: it could be cpu costs a dime or a
testicle,
the issue of price is ulterior in
this discussion, makes about as much sense as "the utilty of
the sun"
mircea_popescu: and
this is broadly
the point -
to
transition
to better culture.
mircea_popescu: not so. it couldn't exist IN
THAT STUPID CULTURE. but in better culture, kvas.
mircea_popescu: nor is it clear
that without
the konsoomer
the field would be asciilifeform-accessible anymore
than hillary's hairy snatch or
the satellite launching programme.
mircea_popescu: the probnlem of pricing in
technology is indeed large.
mircea_popescu: you skipped
the good part, which is : "If you are indeed a chip maker,
this is when you find out why fabless chip companies are worth so much more
than
the equally fabless vendors of "IPs" such as CPUs and DRAM controllers.".
mircea_popescu: and btw,
today was an epic log day. everyone's in great form apparently. monday people.
mircea_popescu: (or in other words -
the notion
that unicode invented shitsoup is nonsense ; we had idiots before we had water pistol glyphs)
mircea_popescu: fwiw, while ' may be valid,
trilema's
title-to-url parser helpfully nukes it.
phf: i believe
that was around
the
time i started reading asciilifeform
mircea_popescu: anyway at some point drop
the link
to
the actual yosefk article you wanted
to reference asciilifeform .
phf: erc also parses
the url incorrectly, but ' is a valid character in url..
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not a matter of "won't run". your gf runs in
the bedroom just as well as woman runs in gangbang party.
phf: also depends if we're still putting out massive interdependent designs, as opposed
to some modular architectures like greenarrays or scheme81 or
mircea_popescu: ie, how much and what kind of violonist is involved in
the hardware making of future.
mircea_popescu: anyway. management considers
the solution available no sort of solution.
mircea_popescu: be
that as it may,
the conceptual item solves
two major open questions here in
tmsr forum : a) "why is
this proggy 100mb ?!?" "because it has 100mn datapoints in
the ai massager, let it be" ; b) "why does
this proggy want
to call home ?" "because whenever you accept a design and put it in production, all other installations want
to review
the datapoint, it's valuable."
mircea_popescu: fror bonus points - steal google's go playing ai and modify it.
the problem of routing is grid-discretizable.
mircea_popescu: anyway - certainly a very valid place for any spinoza in attendance
to apply his next years.
mircea_popescu: so you know, "autorouting" is "a small matter" and "a solved problem" except in reality it's exactly something
to be solved via "artificial intelligence" as understood
today, ie, mega-matrix of mostly 0 parameter running a markov process.
phf: asciilifeform: i
thought maybe
the design was some historic artifact, but no, none of
the cads i looked at (including fucking cmu's NS, which is probably first or second cad in existence) had
that split.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ation of you know... all
the "Solved problems"
that aren't.
mircea_popescu: because
that's a key ingredient of "i just want
to" - deciding various arbitrary bits (especially ones
the jwz doesn't well understand) are "small matter". which decision
then drives poor resource allocation and is
the deep reason for
the festering morass of unsolved problems
that should have been ; while
tons of herbivores run around "revolutionizing"
things
that needn't on
the shaky in reality but strong in perception found
phf: same,
though i was
told by experienced cad people "autorouting is
trash" early on, but soon discovered
that
they mean "for
the purposes of my giant multiboard layout" not "everything
that you'll be
touching for
the next 10 years of your learning"
phf: (cadsoft used
to make EAGLE, which is sort of a goto cad
tool for people on linux)
mircea_popescu: (and no -
there are no whore exceptions. anyone involved in "open source" etc is a whore.)
