mircea_popescu: there's no way out of
this, which is why
them ignoring #trilema is a forced mistake.
mircea_popescu: or else you're in
the business of
trying
to shape public discourse for hitler, in which case
the above is unacceptable, and you've blown your cover.
mircea_popescu: aaanyways. very strict dilemma : either you're a derpy magazine looking
to give some material
to your readers, in which case
the interview being published in fuill and first on
the logs does not bother you in
the slightest ;
mircea_popescu: and
this is why i won't
talk
to any of
them, unless in
this manner.
mircea_popescu: and if
they're not willing
to eat his cumbiscuit, it's clear why :
they aspire
to go political in
the manner discussed above.
jurov: ;;later
tell BingoBoingo pls
to doublecheck
the figures on qntra report,
the figures are hysterically off
mircea_popescu: the pill against
this, of course, being
to force
them
to conduct
their interviews here. which means
that our logs publish better material faster
than
they do. which means
that we >
them.
mircea_popescu: the reason you do not want
to discuss anything with hitler, such as for instance in
the shape of hitler's own propaganda magazine "interviewing" you is
that
they aren't interviewing you. what
they are doing is
trying for a "o noes scandal and wilhelm lost all his support" piece. if it works,
they got it, if it doesn't work, "it never happened".
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway,
to bridge
this discussion with
the kaiser wilhelm "disappeared" daily
telegraph interview discussed last week :
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway, yeah, no fake logs appeared yet. and miner conspiracy no longer exists, also. and
things.
mircea_popescu: lulzy shit, anyway. complete with sig
that used
to be someone coming back from
the dead, apparently not quite sure what its nick is.
mircea_popescu: except, of course, any bitbet logs are an ulterior fabrication,
they never existed prior
to march 2016.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform kinda
too lazy
to deedbot a list of
the various spots in logs where
the fact
that bitbet keeps no logs was discussed. seems about 99 and 3/4%
that
the whole point
there was
to create an entry point for later parallel construction, "o look what bitbet logs show".
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes amusingly enough, in ro
the difference is made as "real" vs "humane" schools.\
ben_vulpes: yeah, once i browbeat my parents into moving me
to a school with a decent physics and math program
things picked up.
mircea_popescu: the idea was quite deliberately
to make connection with liquid flow etc,
the next year bernouli discussion contained EXACT SAME PROFILE
ben_vulpes: attitude
towards math during my
tenure at hippieschool was "oh, you finished
the long division worksheet? oh uh let me go photocopy some more."
mircea_popescu: old style curricula actually included machined piece of various metals, large chunk with varying
thicknesses, with movable screw connectors. with voltmeter and amperemeter, you could measure
the material.
mircea_popescu: uh. no, actually, in my country physics = 6th grade,
they spend a year doing such stuff.
ben_vulpes: teacher lined us up, holding
the rod, and applied a
torch
to one end.
mircea_popescu: "My mom did
the beds. I did
the bedwarming. A memoir."
ben_vulpes: do you know how we were
taught about conduction?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes> look i didn't grow up on usenet it's nyoooooz
to me << your
third grade sucks compared
to his
third grade!!!
ben_vulpes: mhm well let me know when you find
those other loglines
jurov: i do remember it being discussed
too
ben_vulpes: look i didn't grow up on usenet it's nyoooooz
to me
mircea_popescu: just in case anyone in argentina is both a) smart enough
to know
that #trilema logs are more important
to his country
than anything happening in spanish and b) interested in wtf would someone care about fauklands.)
mircea_popescu: (re interdiction zone : yes, subs fire icbms, so have range. but
they're not orbitals, and interdiction zone can be practical
things such as "a ring around either end of panama canal, down by
terra del fuego and up by newfoundland, for instance)
ben_vulpes: already wrote
three
tests
this morning. making coffee and wanking over scintillation for a spell.
ben_vulpes: it's disturbing how hard
this conversation is making
mircea_popescu: doesn't have
to find you across
the atlantic, just lock on you if you come within 100km
mircea_popescu: and could consist of a 100kg batyscaph with some fiber
towed, a sort of intelligent depth charge
mircea_popescu: the mirror relation between "world peace" and "bitcoin" in its
treatment in usg agitprop sources being, of course, striking.
mircea_popescu: thus, undermines [what's left of] "world peace", as
the usg defines
the
term.
this after
the 2000s saw
the underminiung of
the other chunk, with china, russia and now iran making carriers useless.
mircea_popescu: but yes, for
the slow,
THIS is what
they mean by "undermine peace".
the us doctrine is
that its ability
to strike is roughly speaking equal
to "world peace", and
this makes any sort of us "projection" unfeasible.
mircea_popescu: no idea where
that's at by now, and i suspect everyone involved would much rather not even look at
the discussion.
mircea_popescu: as well as a programme
to deploy pu decoys on ocean floor.
tho a) russians map
the shit and b) so wtf does it do for you anyway.
mircea_popescu: anyway. if memory serves
this became obvious during late 70s / 80s faroe islands gamewars with
the russians, resulting in us subs doing all sorts of lulzy, dangerous, landhugging
mircea_popescu: this would allow nuke sub detector
to unerringly destroy all
the subs.
that's
the last hope, now
that carriers aren't worth
their weight in bull viscera.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the usg is very worried about it, because
think about it - unshieldable missile
target.
mircea_popescu: (incidentally -
THIS is fundamental illustration of "republic may not exist if rules are homogenous". historical republics failed on
the basis of people agreeing as
to what's beauty in women.)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform hey, not
that poor. unlike
the rest of her misfortunate sisters, at least she has someone
to say "you may not be a person until you learn fractions".
mircea_popescu: tall, pretty
thing. small
tits, but
that's easily fixed.
mircea_popescu: and you'll have
to desist with
that, by
the way. yesterday girl burst into
tears in subte because i went "you don't understand fractions. pick up a
third grade book, or at least it was
third grade in romania, whatever highschool / college course it is in english, and study fractions."
mircea_popescu: i suspect nobody really went
to YOUR
third grade, alf.
mircea_popescu: and by "sun" i mean "earth" for all
the difference
this makes.
mircea_popescu: or in related news : guess oh dear reader why
the sun is mostly nickel/iron by mass
mircea_popescu: suns don't yield
them, supernova, quasars and black holes only
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes neutrons are interesting for
the reason explained in alf's link :
they only exist as result of activity of a select set of materials/conditions
mircea_popescu: lol wankery is one
tyhing, but afaik no such observatory exists ?
mircea_popescu: (my crude idea being
that according
to wavelength,
the neutrons will be captured
top
to bottom)
mircea_popescu: you need 3141 * 10**6 * 10**3 meters worth of fiber, and you get
the best damn measure of background neutron radiation ever made.
mircea_popescu: actually i'm surprised not more radioastronomy effort is put into
this. imagine if you will : array of a few million km long fibers, arranged inside a cylinder, in layers by angstrom
thichness from 1mn on
the bottom
to 1 A on
the
top, in a circular pattern at 0.001 rads apart each.
mircea_popescu: anyway. let's leave
this in mod6's
ticket
tree somewhere offscreen for nao.
mircea_popescu: this sounds more like a job of "if i had
the she-thieves"
than $$$
