BingoBoingo: In other news,
this ciclón extratropical is rather disappointing.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless,
this is very
transparently
the aim here : "supporting social policy" on "science", as
the necessary v2.0 of "supporting sorta-science financially
through some bureaucratic process".
a111: Logged on 2016-06-23 11:11 mircea_popescu: back in 2010ish, some derps from us academia came with "proof" of
the (at
the
time still called) global warming nonsense, in
the shape of a much-loved-bymedia "golf cross pattern".
mircea_popescu: except for
the fact pierce never proposed supporting "global warming" and its ilk of nonsense on "massaged data" in
the sense of "the
golf club pattern-maker, put any data you wish in, see
the same
thing come out". nor would he have.

this fact but.

the only philosopher
to attach deep significance
to
this seli—cortecting ability is C. 5. Peirce."
mircea_popescu: "Herein lies a presupposition commonly harbored by philosophers: namely.
that empirical claims are only as reliable as
the data from which
they are inferred.
The fact is
that we can often arrive at rather accurate claims from far less accurate ones. Scattered measurements, for example, are not of much use, but with a little data massaging (e.g.. averaging) we can obtain a value of a quantity of interest
that is far more ac
mircea_popescu: anyway, mayo chick's
totally worth a skipread, in
the
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-02#1916737 sense. " We can put
together so potent an arsenal for unearthing a given error
that when we fail
to find it we have excellent grounds for concluding
that
the error is absent." and so on and on and forever .
☝︎ mircea_popescu: but at least
they got
the willy wonka / warhol
hairdo going. i mean... i guess it's something. right ? very weird hair ? grows from head ? in limine, intellectual production ? no ?
mircea_popescu: , and obviously a perfect candidate for
the same fate.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-10 00:53 asciilifeform: 'A 59-year-old woman who was a senior official at a Washington
think-tank was fatally stabbed in Baltimore’s Roland Park neighborhood as she was walking her dogs Friday night, police said.'
mircea_popescu: Rudolf Carnap by 138–3, loses
to Deborah Mayo by 32–26 etc.
mircea_popescu: and cornell's a notorious lolcow farm. and i don't
teach HTWAWAOTSWCLR 101,
thus "We learn from our mistakes. Few would
take issue with
this disctum. If it is more
than merely a cliche,
then it wouldseem of interest
to epistemologists
to inquire how knowledge is obtained from mistakes or from error." results in 62. Nicholas Rescher loses
to Rudolf Carnap by 140–8, loses
to Deborah Mayo by 38–27 Alan Musgrave loses
to
BingoBoingo: Ah,
the sidebar gives it away. It is a Brian Leiter production.
mircea_popescu: dumbass cuntlet wouldn't qualify for my introductory course on "how
to write academic work as opposed
to spinning wikipedia content like retards" at
the night
tradeschool for economically disadvantaged youths.
mircea_popescu: if popper's a philosopher,
thus
therefore so are both r. feyman and
that russian fellow who said "fuck you, who
the fuck are you
to give me awards, nitwits". much more of a philosopher (in
the sartre-ian
tradition)
than whatever Deborah Mayo,
this Audre Lorde professor emeritus of Women Can Add
Too (if you don't rush
them or say
the mean about
the buttock fats)
mircea_popescu: then
there's
the problem of "anglophone". by such criteria as could be insanely reconstructed from
the piled remains, naggum would qualify ; and
then he has
to be on
the list.
mircea_popescu: well, karl popper /
thomas khun.
tho
they're philosophers in a very dubous sense, kuhn's a sociologist and popper's a historian of science.
mircea_popescu: sorta like a bayes for
the femtards & assorted pantsuits
that don't like systems of equations.
mircea_popescu: aaanyway, dude (carnap i mean) is probably
the
thing all
the
g. supran subhumans perceive as
their "truly
truthiful undergirth", genuinely academic and intellectual because not-from-america and-we-dont-talk-about-that etc.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, obscure russel downstream, "anglophone" in
the sense of being german,
totally on
the list.
diana_coman: wtf is
that, voting "who do you
think bestest philosopher" or what?
mircea_popescu: russel, not on
the list (presumably because "not since 1945", notwithstanding legitimacy vs industrialism was 60s, iirc.
mircea_popescu: ~same. "I'd like
to give
that opportunity
to up
to 10 groups/companies/people
through patreon." or w/e.
mircea_popescu: eh, good for.
there's no intrinsic utility
to natural phenomena. what's water molecule good for ? it bangs around back and forth, what good.
mircea_popescu: i suspect
this might've been one of
the candidates
that didn't make it for... recall i was auditioning for whores
to do some reading or
the other at some point ? ended up with
this high energy brunette
mircea_popescu: a right, wouldn't write on
them or something, i dun recall. might've been one of
the earliest
mircea_popescu: i dunno, iirc she just showed up started
talking some day
BingoBoingo: Aite, some sort of cyclone is supposed
to hit here
tonight. Alerta Naranja
to
the west, but only Alerta Amarilla here in
the city. Advertised wind speeds aren't anything impressive by Midwest standards, but figured I'd offer notice. Not often
that
the supermarket lines are
this long during
the middle of
the month.
mircea_popescu: i guess
the logical summation of
this would be
that we all sit down and make a pact
mircea_popescu: it dweebed away once it became clear it's one of
those
things with
talking
to girls in
them.
mircea_popescu: and no, i am not AT ALL happy about it. quite
the opposite, in fact.
mircea_popescu: entirely 0 human beings available, if counting by
the criteria of "capable of getting a ircd federated by ANY other network"
BingoBoingo: Numerals aren't always
the best way
to view certain qualities of numbers

thing if you're running 'monte carlo' sims (digits of 'pi' work beautifully, as does 'A Million Random Digits with 100,000 Normal Deviates' (rand corp, 1955. book.))

a111: Logged on 2017-12-05 17:15 asciilifeform: and 'Ian Clarke is
the founder and coordinator of
the Freenet Project...' << single-handed judas goat and jailer of who knows how many idjits who
thought
they were 'communicating seekoorely'
mircea_popescu: indeed it was ; and so it did ; and woe and sadness upon
the half men riding
their half-measured rabbits
to battle.
mircea_popescu: i don't come up with
this shit because i have a very peculiar sense of humour, or for some sort of art project, or because i'm fucking bored some evening.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-17 17:27 mircea_popescu: obviously "nothing happens", until one day, when suddenly linus posts on his myspace page about how he's
turned off a portion of github or w/e.
mircea_popescu: yet
that perfect cifcle you don't have informs a lot more of your daily activity
than whatever else.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, perfect money, like perfect markets, like perfect health and ideal love, are not of
this world.
hanbot: lol show me a market sometime, i'd love
to see it! :D
hanbot wonders what quantity of busypaperwork/waiting in line/befriending idiot doorkeepers suffices as standing for "paying for
ticket"
mircea_popescu: definitionally, market is ~no barrier
to entry~. if you have
to buy a
ticket
to get in, it's no longer a market, it's a disco club.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, consider
the ~other~ problem of market.
hanbot: mircea_popescu, zero mention of btc anywhere on paxum.com.
there's pax*ful*, i guess. for some reason lists market price at a 9% discount, iono what kind of "market" it can be.
mircea_popescu: WHATEVER IT IS, you can only have a market if you control
the city.
mircea_popescu: this is nonsense. "idempotent" my foot. if it has a domain name, it has a domain name. if it has an ip instead, has an ip. if it uses a dns round robin, now
there's
the dns.
mircea_popescu: obviously "nothing happens", until one day, when suddenly linus posts on his myspace page about how he's
turned off a portion of github or w/e.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: market is, definitionally, where demand and supply ~come
together~
