pete_dushenski: "Before releasing
the lobsters,
the monks held a 20-minute ceremony with a prayer and chant
to
the Buddha of compassion. Dan said you don't have
to have a ceremony or be a Buddhist
to practice compassion
to be nicer
to all
the living beings around you and
try
to
think from
their point of view." << be nice
to
the other crabs in
the bucket mkay

this
thing just melted my brainz. some schmuck crying because he could not become a... health inspector! and pete_dushenski advising him on how
to cry less
mircea_popescu: seriously, olive branch ? by people who never saw an olive
tree or what.
Framedragger: will be interesting
to later also look how many of
the originally-online nodes were down in
this new rescan, and how many new ones appeared (i.e. when hetzner ranges are removed).
Framedragger: (i.e. i had originally planned
to re-scan
those hetzner ranges and include
them in
the original
tarball, but ended up postponing
that.)
Framedragger: from rescan of ipv4, from 'untainted' ip addresses.
the ">1M" is due not only
to rescan itself, but also because i had excluded ipv4 ranges for hetzner which had been sending
tons of abuse complaintz. i can handle
those complaints now. but i had forgotten about exclusion of hetzner ssh hosts.
the new
tarball will fix
this (it won't include any old ssh keys, only new ones).
Framedragger: and while on
topic,
there'll be another
tarball soon asciilifeform - considerably smaller, but still > 1M
Framedragger: trinque: re. "ssh ones are a bit long." << yeah you're right, need
to shorten
them..
trinque: yep, I'm gonna do something about
that. ssh ones are a bit long.
trinque: asciilifeform: I'm just paraphrasing you from other
threads, CPU^H^H^Hphysics might be hundreds of years from here.
mircea_popescu: you'd be surprised what a coupla hours' worth of left hand rule can do
to many acres worth of
tight maze
trinque imagines a rat who can smell
the cheese, gets stuck in a dead end of
the maze adjacent, never goes around
the other way, starves.
mircea_popescu: looky,
the question is a) entirely unrelated
to
the discussion and b) not substantially different from "what should
the senior washington official stabbed
to death have done".
mircea_popescu: anyway. soviet crazies, what can i
tell you, and why should i care.
mircea_popescu: so i'm not really
the right guy
to ask about
them
things.
mircea_popescu: i give ~no
thought
to
this entire "prevented from doing", much like
the
typically female "you made me do" dun enter into my
thoughts.
mircea_popescu: i am not even discussing
the schwartz fellow at all, i dun really know him.
mircea_popescu: and consequently, it becomes less a matter of "how my cryustals grow" and more a mattrer of "let's have coffee and gossip about
that asshole who's
the reason i can't do all
the good
things for humanatee".
mircea_popescu: this, obviously, is easy for adolescents
to do. but people all ages have or can develop vanity issues.
mircea_popescu: they all without exception stem from inflated vanity, which is
to say a contradiction between
the individual's own sense of worth and
the apparent or discerned valuation by "society", somehow defined.
mircea_popescu: there's more
to
that "adolescent business fantasy"
than just
that, money.
there's also an "imaginary womenz and sexings"
thing ;
there's also a "great ideas in my great idea binder" etc.
mircea_popescu: this being
the main problem with "idea people",
theoretical physicists or otherwise. "oh, i see over
the fence" "get lost"
mircea_popescu: no, no. you want
to
talk about neglected science being both valid and useful,
there's only one way
to do
this : do.
mircea_popescu: none of
this is interesting. unless you personally are looking for supercon, for some sort of reason, what diff does it make ?
mircea_popescu: i admit
to being a very short physicist,
theoretical or otherwise.
mircea_popescu: like say 75 billion kilometers
tall. random numbers, right ?
mircea_popescu: eventually
this stair
that was "accidentally made" by "rocks falling" will show a step
that's you know, higher
than 6 inches
tall.
mircea_popescu: seriously, it "just so happened"
that
the next
thing
to discover was within reach ? EVERY
time ? get fucked already.
mircea_popescu: (of all
the perverse reasons
to consider
the whole adventure is a set-up, such as, look how convenient
that it so happens water is a) universal solvent ; b) very high caloric capacity - life'd be not quite possible without either, nor is
there good reason for
them
to match up, not anymore
than for
the euler equation at any rate :
the science progression is one of
the best
mircea_popescu: in point of fact we're flat against a
tall stair, and so i don't expect much either way.
mircea_popescu: just like computing in
the sense of "ima hack my cpu
together out of sawdust" is gone ; physics will require forevermore rather expensive
tools.
mircea_popescu: i'm not even
the first
to observe
this, by a good century.
mircea_popescu: but be
that as it may - physics as a romantic endeavour is, and has been over.
mircea_popescu: anyway. dunno
that
the us is a significant actor in physics, or in general any science
these days.
they withdrew
to "engineering" in
the 70s, and
then moved on
to wtf
they do now, "Social sciences", gave
the engineering
to
the azns.
mircea_popescu: iirc came up in some discussion re why buffett wants higher
taxes
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the conversation flew as "alf: X NONSENSE STATEMENT!!!! PROBLEM ?" "mp: history doth not support" reiteraded numerous
times. eventually it
tires.
mircea_popescu: 5k, 10k, 15k, 250k and over. o look,
there's more in
this "250k or over"
than in
the average 5k increment! could it be because it contains i dunno, 111`864 increments ?
mircea_popescu: i wonder, if
they continued with
the same increments all
the way
to 100mn, would it look
the same way ?
mircea_popescu: "oh, look how discrepant
the data we manipulated
to look exactly
this way is!"
mircea_popescu: anyway, i kinda
tire of
this "here's random boyish nonsense i just pulled from ass, plox consider it seriously" affair. we shall resume later!
