mircea_popescu: george everytard's "yes i didn't do any work, but bear in mind i am in the smaller office" very much apropos.
mircea_popescu: eulogy or "political analysis" or what have you, comes out. it's true that it doesn't make much sense, and bears a very torturous relation to reality -- but bear in mind it has the right color!!!
mircea_popescu: kinda like how imperial text production / shannonization works : they got an ancient piece of paper and a cutout, they put the cutout on the piece of paper and spray the right color bits.
mircea_popescu: sorta exact rewrite of the mccain story, except with different epitheths.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo btw, you ever read the fascinating story of young george cottrell ?
mircea_popescu: jesus the pantsuit press looks just like the pravda. seriously, Ludendorff died ? aww!
mircea_popescu: hey, i twisted my ankl;es numerous times in this here ocean. some things worth a twist.
mircea_popescu: now i got the choice of either chasing a ~nothing or making some scammer's day ? pshaw.
mircea_popescu: jesus fuck, check out these idiots : advertise it at $1.89 ; charge $15. da fuck.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "There was a problem with one or more of the NameServers you entered.This is likely caused by the entered NameServers not being created yet."
mircea_popescu: nicoleci : ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "nicole@MP's whorehouse"
mircea_popescu: the question of HOW to store sparsely is a re-implementation of the original question asked, in haskell.
mircea_popescu: im not even the biggest, iirc danielpbarron got 100s of millions of whatever from his remarkable claim
mircea_popescu: and i have items with six figure qualities right now in my inventory.
mircea_popescu: 4d. think, just looking through my storage right now, i have a dozen or so SIX FIGURE stacks.
mircea_popescu: but the smallest possible factor being 2, two consecutive numbers are always coprime.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's the criteria, that 173 and 174 share no factors. if they do -- then x * factor +y and x +y * factor both work.
mircea_popescu: ask honest questions, and the value of the answers will never cease to amaze.
mircea_popescu: Mocky right, this is a recurrent problem with extremely meta-stable attractors, i don't expect in the end it makes ANY difference that in an isolated state it produced weird double-evens.
mircea_popescu: so in short, i don't see a practical reason to say ave1 's 7846x173q 1592x177q is not a legitimate final state, even if it doesn't match what we've been saying final state should be.
mircea_popescu: then again, from the crafter pov, debalanced stacks not preferable, because of considerations of interplay between item q and bp q in the final product, it'll be more work to calc proper bp q for two stacks apart than for two stacks consecutive
mircea_popescu: but it also is at variance with what was de-facto specified, though not seriously ever reviewed.
mircea_popescu: i don't see a problem with it, from a gameplay perspective.
mircea_popescu: fucktards. NOT ONLY do they do it wrong, but they ACTUALLY attempt to pass their failure for "how it is" and "move on".
mircea_popescu: "oh, it's so difficult to make computer games -- you spend millions and months to generate content, and then the players consume it in minutes"
mircea_popescu: (it's zug-zwang, but honestly the onomatopoetic value justifies the grammar breach)
mircea_popescu: (or rather : for something to be a move, quality-diversity in the universe decreases)
mircea_popescu: how the heck can you get a cycle ? "quality" here approximates enthalpy, it only moves one way
mircea_popescu: (and, for the esthlos of the present and they of the future, the "lie-tician" was a reference to lie groups, which is a sort of we-wanna-galois-too but with more symmetry, less comprehensibility and possibly much powerful-er overall. i half-expected he's going to start throwing manifolds at me or who knows what nonsense, take me out of commission for the remainder of the season.)
mircea_popescu: anyway, let it be pointed out how lulzy and innerving the recurse-dream relation is. "can't make the first move till you made the last move" etc.
mircea_popescu: also, it is imo a great mistake to limit the modelling in terms of 2 pile starter conditions. this is very rarely the case.
mircea_popescu: but you have a point, in that investigating the "large enough" condition might shed some lights.
mircea_popescu: q of diff parities are ; but in ~practice~ it is ~almost always~ the case that a "large enough" starter set is presented to that q, q-1 occur.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what do you mean ? that's exactly how it goes, atomically. all mixed piles will be of size sum sizes and quality w-a qualities.
mircea_popescu: the addressable quanta here is the single unit, of a specified quality. these are presented in groups (of the same q), and you're asked to reform the "minimal groups", ie, 2 qualities. whether any individual strand belongs in final-group-A or final-groub-B is however ambiguous until you've made the last move (recursive pov, the last move is tha first move, recursion flows backwardsd, like dream states).
☟︎ mircea_popescu: Mocky alf's mysterious disappearance promises he saw the problem with his idea :p
☟︎ mircea_popescu: so it relies on logbot and interfaces with it via postgres db ?
