mircea_popescu: that's kept sterile via airflow, which is to say, the continual negrating of random idiots who don'
t evidently have no business there. and such things.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-26 15:47 mircea_popescu: there isn'
t a better approach to this. in particular "creating a semi-permeable membrane" is not one of them.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: in summa, this then is the covenant of the republic : that everything here exists to serve your needs ; and that you can'
t have needs that can'
t be.
mircea_popescu: yes, i'm aware palm calculators exist for a while now. they don'
t "fix math" for the blonde ditz.
mircea_popescu: for the exact same reason classical antiquity couldn'
t have blind emperors ; we today can'
t delegate "the people stuff" to others. we also cant' delegate "the numbers stuff" to others. there's no mechanical way out of this.
mircea_popescu: skills are skills. the expectation that one will go from craddle to grave without having to touch arbitrary class of skills "because i just don'
t go that way" is entirely hallucinant nonsense.
mircea_popescu: which she isn'
t, visibly, to me. and to her. and to no one else.
mircea_popescu acquired new $slavegirl. intelligent girl, very educable (i don'
t just mean in terms of training-for-slavery, a la BCT, i mean scholarily, with a native thirst for knowledge and a natural dedication to clean thinking) and altogether very pleasant. for historical reasons, unexperienced socially (twentysomething, second time she was in a bar, i took her there) and not particularily capable of talking to people.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger but the example shows ~shouldn'
t~ not ~doesn'
t~.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: names of women you fucked. i know the names and there aren'
t too many of 'em. and for some strange indefensible reason i think this applies to many folx here. but this is a tangent
mircea_popescu: argument is "keeping track of non-wot-ids is pointless, shouldn'
t be done"
mircea_popescu: to obtain a handle one must do specific things ; if they don'
t, they don'
t. i don'
t give out handles like candy because why would i.
mircea_popescu: i don'
t distinguish between eg adlai or nubbins ; i haven'
t allocated a handle ; they're just $dork, whatever.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you keep trying to design-for-ai. there's no need and no call for that ; moreover no practical way to ever do it. wot permitted me to ascertain enough information to eg behead that adlai schmuck most recently. there's no way "for you to explain how i reasoned to a machine", or even in general, and that doesn'
t hurt or stop me. moreover if there was such a way, then he'd simply act differently next time. and ther
mircea_popescu: there isn'
t a mechanical process for levers and swamp water.
mircea_popescu: and you also don'
t "must have signed gossipd lines", either. there was a mega discussion re that also on gossipd thread
a111: Logged on 2016-12-02 23:36 mircea_popescu: and for this reason ratings can'
t have to be signed - they can never be opposed to the maker.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-26 13:52 adlai doesn'
t like publishing incomplete work, even if it's useful for cave divering archaeologists. asciilifeform might be the first to see a useful turd, if one should drop. until then, radio silence.
trinque: which doesn'
t obligate anyone to accept their narrowing, either
trinque: I don'
t dispute the need of the record
trinque: and in those cases I don'
t think any sane person faults him when the patient dies
trinque: could always leave an expository comment in a file in your patch, but I don'
t know that it holds that "found item" is less the v-author's fault
a111: Logged on 2017-01-26 12:06 trinque: beyond that, what kind of dishonest hanno shitbag would negrate you for an item you clearly picked up in the forest, and if he doesn'
t know you well enough to know what your work looks like, has no business rating you.

Because who knows, maybe we're all dumb dumb and this contextual approach actually works, we'll end up thinking he's somebody because he's been acting as if he were for so long, everyone forgot he isn'

☟︎ mircea_popescu: i'm satisfied in my mental representation of the fellow and won'

Framedragger: i'm like that (useless) teacher in kobo abe's "woman in the dunes", walking around the desert and examining bugs :) one day i'll fall into a pit which houses a house and a woman, and i won'
t want to get out
mircea_popescu: Let it be plainly stated that you treat this sort of subhuman scum as if it were a person at your own peril. It won'
t benefit by your sacrifice ; you will sooner or later end up in the sad position of discovering you no longer have a soul.

mod6: Much appreciated. Other than this problem with the roots at hand, I think mine is in pretty great shape. The implementation of the all-antecedents axiom creates a bit of a slant here for what I have. But I'll do some digging into what your v99 looks like again and see if I can'
t get something resolved with that.
mircea_popescu: there isn'
t two different someones out there in a reliable sense.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, i am saying, flatly, that this isn'
t a knowledge. as per lieberman.
mircea_popescu: historically this isn'
t so accurate, everyone lived in the ~same shit.
mircea_popescu: anyway, not like patches can'
t be rebased into conformancy.
mircea_popescu: not sure it wasn'

mircea_popescu: well, i get it that you think you did, except you didn'
t, because, note this, BECAUSE it didn'
t crash your algo.
mircea_popescu: v links add value ; which couldn'
t have been made by "an ai"
mircea_popescu: but an important point here i must stress is the COGNITIVE LOAD of a v tree. these aren'
t mechanical "oh, it changed x file so it goes with x". you think, as the author, and exactly in the manner of scoring wot members : what should this item be anchored on ?
mircea_popescu: yes i'm aware that forcibly works and their own heads don'
t. so ?
mircea_popescu: not even that. i don'
t perceive they're actually hurting. yes they're fucking up the lives of idiots. so ?
mircea_popescu: and this isn'
t just re derpy "democratic" forum or herpy "free" sexploitatation venue. this applies to the fucking guardian, or to wikipedia.
mircea_popescu: broken shit is what you get when you don'

a111: Logged on 2017-01-25 21:47 phf: so if you have a system that you implemented fast, but it's slow, but you know how to now slowly make it fast, you have a strategy. if you're chasing corner cases, running a profiler and get mostly flat distribution, writing in special cases, etc. you don'
t have one
a111: Logged on 2017-01-25 20:59 asciilifeform: 'Why haven'
t you embraced Bitcoin to get away from the restrictions of the banks / credit card companies? - We used to accept bitcoins through Coinbase. They dropped us a year ago because we are a kinky site. No joke.'
a111: Logged on 2017-01-25 20:54 asciilifeform: 'Yes, it was mainly for FetLife's and my protection, and we had to act swiftly. One could easily argue that we didn'

ben_vulpes: i ain'

phf: so if you have a system that you implemented fast, but it's slow, but you know how to now slowly make it fast, you have a strategy. if you're chasing corner cases, running a profiler and get mostly flat distribution, writing in special cases, etc. you don'

☟︎ ben_vulpes: okay so i didn'
t not do my homework yet.
mircea_popescu: ie, yes the case is "reasonable likelihood of confusion", but no this does not mean 'don'
t use the word'.
phf: hmm, i can'
t recall anyone doing it in the 90s. i think this is a uniquely american problem though, where you can'
t trust frame to hold the door in place. traditional solution is to simply put the door on welded frame inside a concrete hole, so you will need something better than a claymore to dislodge it
mircea_popescu: because no, excitation levels aren'
t "quantum" in the sense contemplated here.
mircea_popescu: there isn'
t even a measuring tool ; we have nfi if any observed effect is even anything.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile the problem with quantum computing is in the fucking name. we have NO tools to do quantum work with. none. we've never heard of one existing, we can'
t conceive how one'd even work, if it did, which it doesn'
t, because it doesn'
t exist.
mircea_popescu: (the "strongest magnet in teh werld" title goes to something in the 20-30

davout: protip if one ever tries to order food there: ask what they have, don'

mircea_popescu: ican'
t recall if ben_vulpes or phf were maintaining it. who was it ?
mircea_popescu: her, so she joined up with the Americans instead. Charlie 82d had dads in their mid-thirties, and it had dads not yet old enough to buy beer. My platoon had a single mom who had been working as an exotic dancer before she raised her right hand and took the oath; another had married young, got divorced and wanted to get as far away from her Ex as possible; she figured the Middle East was probably far enough, but if he tried
