phf: there are some interviews with feynman where he's
trying
to explain how doing science is a constant game of catching yourself lying
to yourself long before it becomes a question of "scientific community" etc.. dogen is coming from
the opposite direction of learning
to see
things clearly as a goal, and a lot of his essays are descriptions of what he saw
phf: i
think it's impressive how he manages
to
think his way out of nothingness. his baseline is basically 15 year old monks in
training, who need
to be
taught not
to shit on
their hands, etc. knowledge
transfer consists of dialogues about buddha
teachings. it's very much
the case of grinding lens by hand
to study astrophysics
mircea_popescu: da fuck is wrong with
this knickers fixation in contemporaneity!
mircea_popescu: i mean, how's he
to know
that god damned submarines leave a
trace, and certainly follow a path.
the waterbirds, wut.
mircea_popescu: but otherwise whatever, it's 1k ad. guy's a notable
thinker.
mircea_popescu is vaguely irked by
the whole "overthink your communication and only make it if it 'benefits' " as if
that's somehow possible.

trinque: Citizenfive | What I'm saying, if I'm saying *anything*, is
that
the words don't matter. << I used
to
think
this; lately I consider it an autoimmune disorder caused by lifetime immersion in symbolic shit
trinque: what, inventing words was forbidden, so
they had
to grunt and point ?
pete_dushenski: phf: aha. and now you're inadvertently making me miss
those
times when i spent evening after cold winter evening in
the depths of buddhist and hindu
teachings
trinque: I don't see any point for
the whimsical obfuscation
trinque has
the gateless gate, read it a couple
times
phf: pete_dushenski:
there's a lot of vague, mystical
takes on dogen, but i
think
that most of
the
time he makes very straightforward points, like in
the wild fox koan, he just says
that everything is bound by cause and effect, and if you
think you can have a magic
talisman against it, you're going
to suffer
mircea_popescu wonders vaguely what'll happen once one of
these karl zigglers (hey,
they contribute
to sales! everyone else -
to costs!) sits still long enough
to get
to
transfinite ordinals in his math
textbook.
mircea_popescu: got
to "explained 1 or 2% of
the variance", clicked away. jesus christ
these shiteaters.
mircea_popescu: "writ large". see alf ?
the go "ai" is already
taking over "science".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the beauty being
that with some work, she COULD break free see.
mircea_popescu: so
they put her in vase (really, it's made out of porcelain on lead glue, much like stained glass) so she can be flower.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah but i
thought
the chick is lazy, won't cook or clean.
mircea_popescu: i dunno
that
they ~have
to~ come here
though. i mean, not
that anything's keeping
them, but botmaster's discretion.
lobbes: Aight. I'll set lobbesbot
to !Q
☟︎ lobbes: Euporium (jurov and Azelphur) is another bot
that lives only in #Eulora. Also
to
take in consideration
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i
thought
that was more of a case of "drown, old man, drown" ?
mircea_popescu: lobbes i dun wanna allocate @ at all ; and i'm going
to skip # as a first character also. how about you know !Q
lobbes: Speaking of reserving prefixes, lobbesbot (while not here, but in #Eulora), uses !@. Should
that be reserved across both channels?
mircea_popescu: o hey,
the historical reenaction chick looks pretty hot. i dunno
they actually had
that french style balconette cut
till french indochina, but neways
mircea_popescu: mod6 sure, we'll
tell pete_dushenski
that it's
taken and
to move
the underline one.
PeterL: just realized I set scoopbot up
to recognize
http as links but not
https, fixed
that now
scriba: Logged on 2016-09-14: [16:22:33] <PeterL> I added archive.is
to
the list scoopbot ignores, it seemed kinda silly
to have it archiving
the archiver
phf: people who can't clearly visualize a cause and effect graph
trying
to do science. dogen is laughing at
them all
the way from 13th century
☟︎ mod6: <+shinohai> Shouldn't it be `!%^^^xxx?` instead? << what do you mean by
this?
mod6: i dunno wtf. i'll have
to look at it later. anyway, i just wanted
to reserve '!%' or whatever.
mod6: (I can probably have
the updates for
this put in place in
the next few days.)
mod6: <+pete_dushenski> mod6:
tb0t's new call command is !% << mircea_popescu speaking of
this, I did get a chance
to read
that
trilema lastnight - and I was wondering if I could reserve
this mnemonic for
tb0t. Is
that agreeable??
PeterL: I added archive.is
to
the list scoopbot ignores, it seemed kinda silly
to have it archiving
the archiver
shinohai: i wonder if
that could start a war
pete_dushenski: in other lulz, jhvh1 prefers slovenian over slovakian (both have 'sl'
two-letter
translation code). also belarusian > bengali.
mircea_popescu: you realise
that
the gossipd model with markov chains is probably
the one source of
the singularity
shinohai: Paris Green still killing
the remnants around Victorian
times.
mircea_popescu: challenge
to
the scholars present, identify
the verse.
Framedragger: like
that
theory about
the fall of
the roman empire due
to lead poisoning due
to lead being used *everywhere*
jhvh1: mircea_popescu: whenever I said honey I'll get
to wear your hair like another?
mircea_popescu: !~translate RO
to EN "de cite ori
ti-am spus eu draga mea ca vei ajunge sa porti parul alteia ?"
mircea_popescu: girls add atropine
to enlarge
their iris, because
this is hot. after a while with
this,
they are blind.
mircea_popescu: well we don't know anyone can supress gag enough
to
think ; but otherwise oubliette was on ceiling.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform eh,
that was jus' a footnote. feel free
to put it in a comment if you wanna.
Framedragger: shinohai (or whoever): btw are
the recent bashes available somewhere? i ask because i want
to use
them for a quick something, i.e. a .txt would do
PeterL: ^ yeah, I read
that
to be shows ratings nick1 made, I guess it is just
the ambiguity of English
pete_dushenski: 'Omitting [nickname2] shows rating from operator
to [nickname1]' << clarified ?
pete_dushenski: PeterL: !!rated is actually correct. 'person asking' is 'operator'.
though i can see how it might be ambiguous.
mircea_popescu: possibly
the most outrageous
thing ever
to be penned by human hand.
PeterL: omiting
the second nick gives rating from
the person asking
to nick1, not ratings from nick1
PeterL: pete_dushenski I
think deedbot !!rated is wrong
pete_dushenski: also,
tb0t added
to bots directory. perhaps mod6 can lemme know if everything appears
to be in order
there.

trinque pete_dushenski : !!subscribe missing from your docs eh.
Framedragger: instead of cleverbot.com
there could be mpbot.com where one could consult with synthesized mp dataset (trilema, irc) regarding financial investments and spanking
techniques. markov model based on irc queries/replies could help with context awareness. #1bnvcideas

there is no such
thing as nsfw. public service i guess
