mircea_popescu: (cigna, for
the noobs, is
the usg dept of "insurance" human records)
mircea_popescu: "if you're
the sort of guy who almost escaped
the homeshitland, wouldn't you like
to register in a cigna-powered "community of
trust" ????"
mircea_popescu: which is
the correct strategic choice, once
the opponent has demonstrated
the ability
to behead your "academic" assets, zerg him with
the academic aspie assets.
they surely got
the "man"-hours anyway.
mircea_popescu: and
the various noise groups are both incapable mentally of using a wot and actually very affraid of locking out newbies because
they perceive an (wholly hallucinated, but w/e,
they're immersed in socialist ideology) existential
threat : "they'll die without noobies"
mircea_popescu: anyway. it's altogether unclear how on earth one will wipe
them
this
time. intelligently
they're no longer using a gavin, but ~an anon hydra.
mircea_popescu: no it's not gavin coin, because old wedding picture was associated
to random string! it's jeff rubin now!
mircea_popescu: but yes, having
the "fork" nonsense defeated, and
the "we'll promote a shitcoin" defeated leaves
the usg.lizzards ... one option.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform more interesting, "who's
this suddenly very active jeremy rubin character"
hanbot: PeterL of interest was
their "Academy of Art", degree-granting. not
their prep school.
PeterL: I seem
to remember
they have a nice museums for art and science on
the campus, my dad would
take me
there a couple
times a year as a kid
mircea_popescu: seems
to be
the case
that for as long as you interact with idiots, what you do doesn't really matter all
that much.
mircea_popescu: considering a large part of
the historical beef with
tardstalk was over mismanagement of shitposting rights for idiots,
the adventure of r/bitcoin is not particularly encouraging.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
this is
the special preserve r/btc where
the idiots went once
theymos
took away
their shitposting rights in r/bitcoin
hanbot: lol "Want (MP)
the one who put out
that hot notice on sipa one
time?"
hanbot: iono dude,
this project is making me
think
there's no regular needs institutions up
there
mircea_popescu: apparently r/btc exists
to collect
the various idiots who never heard of obama and
think
the russians invaded atlanta, georgia like a decade ago.
hanbot: next piece is just
the wall, entitled, "i promise it's just ketchup"
hanbot: maybe it's interactive, you visit and pummel
the subjects with
the spuds.
hanbot: you mean
the concrete cornfield? i wish it were a single statue.
mircea_popescu: wtf is with
the potatoes already ? you know
they have a fucking STATUE of like... corn, in ohio ?
mircea_popescu: actually scratch
that, apparently nasdaq no longer knows of it.
hanbot: sue
the salt sue
the salt
mircea_popescu: sure, and
there's a nasdaq
tmsr, and some canadian band ; and
thorium-molten salt reactors and what have you.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-05 08:46 jurov: i just have embedded ecl in eulora and made quite a complete functionality available
to it
hanbot: ah, danielpbarron beat me
to it. was gonna post my config file, had similar issues as shinohai
danielpbarron: hah i just closed out my client
to re-apply exactly
those changes
mircea_popescu: you know, someone had a similar problem due
to ancient gfx card / old drivers or somesuch. iirc
there's a solution
to
tone down world items.
danielpbarron: just downloaded and verified
the new
tar.gz, unpacked it into ~/development , ran
the same recompile.sh script as before
mircea_popescu: my ftjam finished in 12:44 on
this (kinda old) machine
mircea_popescu: i guess it depends on machine
to a more significant degree
than i
thought.
shinohai: it isn't difficult at all
to build, and jurov's deb makes it even easier
mircea_popescu: it was a painless ~10 minute compile for everyone who
tried it so far, but diana_coman 's kinda curious if
that holds out in win or not.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so how do you find out if you have
the erdos gene ?
mircea_popescu: PeterL ironically,
the reason i'm convinced it's genetics is
that of
the (~half dozen) girls i encountered with
the problem, ALL hated nordic fish
mircea_popescu: yes but... i
tried lactate. i
tried glycosulphate. i mean... holy shit, what, does it come as part of a chunk of protein eight miles long,
to count ?
PeterL: just
throwing out ideas
PeterL: could be both (needs some enzyme
to get
through gut, another
to change
the complex coordination in liver so
the rest of
the body can use it)
mircea_popescu: i'm pretty sure it's
the gut, myself, but
then again wtf do we know.
mircea_popescu: i mean... ammonium citrate. useless. but just how complex does
this coordination have
to get ?
PeterL: might have
to do with how
the iron is complexed with organics in
the liver, mostly non-complexed in
the pill
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in
the intestine ? LOTS of it.
the intestinal surface is just as fucking complex as
the brain. it selects certain bacterial populations ffs.
mircea_popescu: so you next suppose "oh, it's because
the pill creates
this point with a gradient, whereas livers are distributed". so you grind it into a dust, mix it in say, humus. nnnnnope...
mircea_popescu: intuitively, you'd
think "oh well,
there's
these many oxidative presentations of iron, i've
tried
them all,
time for you
to say goodbye
to life". yet, chiken liver works. bloody steak somewhat but not as greatly (and only with proper red wine anyway, so clearly oxidative pathway)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well, good for you
then. but generally in modern anemia
the problem is bad genetics leading
to poor intestinal uptake.
mircea_popescu: errofuckitsmother and etc. girl doesn't absorb, has
to go on diet of chicken livers and so on.
THAT works.
mircea_popescu: what IS a very bad analogy however,
that i let pass
though i shouldn't have, is
the fucking iron pill. you don't know
this, because insufficient exposure ; but i run a farm of women my whole life and let me
tell you
that a) pernicious anemia is still a fucking
thing. unlike syphilis
that isn't since antibiotics, pa is, iron pill or no ; b) iron pill doesn't work worth a shit. every fucking
time i'd
try every glycosulcinate, f
mircea_popescu: "oh, alf decided he's going
to solve problem by paying someone
to startle him every 5 minutes"
