mircea_popescu: just as well could say "and when i was
three i put
toddling
things aside and
took my place as king of
the walking"
mircea_popescu: but notice
that
the child "learning"
to, eg, walk, is hardly something YOU give it. from outside like.
mircea_popescu: that it provides you with
the delusion of learning
to match
the societal hallucination of "progress" doth not mean it moved.
mircea_popescu: (yes all bridges move. no such
thing as a rigid bridge since many years nao)
mircea_popescu: inasmuch as it's a bridge, use it for car
traffic rather
than as a wind foil ; and pray
the architect wasn't a whore fucking drunks.
that's about all.
mircea_popescu: collapses,
the better it's built
the less it collapses and
that finally age conquers all.

that
the second person inside of him is god). psychotic episode after weed/lsd combination. obviously all diagnosed and hospitalized at one point or another
mircea_popescu:
http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160917/#562 << let's instead
talk of bridges. badly designed brigde will collapse in rush hour. or maybe not in rush hour. or maybe while closed for repairs, because heavy winds. or maybe just of old age. or perhaps for other reasons. however you model psychoactives - as cars, or as winds ; however you model other people being assholes, cars, winds - fact remains
that
the less it's used
the less it

that's a
tricky claim. i've
taken much, much, much larger doses
than
the ones
that (indirectly!) led
to
the aforementioned bad situations. i
think YGFS50 depends much more on "set and setting"
than on a molecule's shape and headcount
a111: Logged on 2016-09-17 06:11 ben_vulpes: i'm going
to go out on a limb and doubt
that
there's enough data even on variation in human sensitivity
to drugs much less by class and genotype
to even be making claims about "LD50"
mircea_popescu: or are you
the weird sort
that assaults
the woman for cheating rather
than
the dude she's cheating with.

the more nuanced answer recognizes
that i was hospitalized as a direct result of an argument, which would not have happened if i'd left
the house with a sweater
that morning. so... don't forget
to bring a
towel?
a111: Logged on 2016-09-17 05:56 adlai: what's with all
the shitty drugs? i step away from irc-every-day for a couple months, suddenly everybody's fiending alcohol,
tobacco, and firearms^H^H^Hcaffeine?

tonight. i've got
tea pot, i've got hookah, i've got a fuck you
to "no smoking in building" complaints
a111: Logged on 2016-09-17 05:24 phf: one of
the reasons i went with cmucl originally is because it has known
tight memory behavior and sbcl dev equally famous stance
that "memory is cheap", which, for
the case of keeping log in memory, was discouraging

these hurdles
a111: Logged on 2016-09-17 04:46 phf: adlai: same code and data
that was
taking up ~~500mb with cmucl blew up lispworks
to 4gb, and now blowing up sbcl
to 1gb, which results in heap exhaustion errors, despite
the fact
that
there's still extra heap available

to convey Patrick's offer

phf: "dhs prevents countless
terrorist attacks each year, which we are not at liberty

they will compromise ongoing and future investigations"

a111: Logged on 2016-09-17 04:33 asciilifeform: 'While details of Cook’s actions and
the alleged
threat have not been publicly released, law enforcement officials have said
they believe
the
threat was real, but has been stopped by Cook’s arrest. “There’s been no evidence
to suggest
the involvement of anyone else locally and no evidence

mircea_popescu: this kinda follows from definitions, and moreover ...
the odds, montresor.
mircea_popescu: "there are 9 4096 bit strings for any given privkey
to which you can not encrypt or decrypt."
a111: Logged on 2016-09-17 04:24 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu et al: in other not-quite-noose, 'To every pair p, q of distinct primes
there correspond 9 positive integers x no larger
than pq such
that x^c ≡ x mod (pq) for every odd positive integer c.
Therefore
these 9 messages x are unconcealable in any Rivest-Shamir-Adleman public key cryptosystem which has
the product pq for its encoding modulus.'
mircea_popescu: tell you what, nothing
the us did
this year compares. what
the fuck is with
the pinoy.
mircea_popescu: anyway. i guess unintentionally
the problem with pictographics ("it hides
things from you!
they came bite you in ass latere!") was yet again, for
the uncountablyest
time, shown in all its nude glory.
mircea_popescu: "and if your mother had any
taste you wouldn't be here."
mircea_popescu: this is "if chicken were spherical and in vacuum"++. "if building cvadrature of circle is
trivial,
then here's a drawing for adding angles"
mircea_popescu: the problem here discussed is when
the fucking chickens are shown an impossible object and
they cluck right along, "oh, look how great".
mircea_popescu: because
the man's brain wasn't rotten by virtuality, and fetishism, and ustardism.
mircea_popescu: phf more fucking importantly, it contains no hidden bits. such as "how did you build
the square"
mircea_popescu: "we are
the premiere science and
technology institution in
the world. and we can't light a lightbulb. both of
these for
the exact same reason - we "learned" from wikipedia,
ted
talks, and other inept contrivances."
phf: euclid's elements are literate, if you look at
the extant copies,
they have drawings of shapes with labels, but all
the details are otherwise in
text
mircea_popescu: wherein
to run around like headless chickens. if a headless chicken.
mircea_popescu: no but really. "given
the circle cvadrature, isn't
this escherian
trestlework ever so informative ?"
mircea_popescu: "oh, with provided premeasured
tools
this
table is just long enough" hurr.

truthiness and just follow

http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160917/#348 << it's entirely unclear
to me why you
think
the hieroglyph is noteworthy. sure, in
the context of "let's draw hyeroglyphs", it's as good as many other alternatives. in
the context of "let's describe basic
trigonometry", it's not particularly useful. and you'll realise

two weekends ago i had
to excise some rust-welded nuts

mircea_popescu: and also
that "enemy will decrypt your disk and fuck you"
