mircea_popescu is kinda amused at all the "oh noes, nuclear war destroys planet
as we know it". go for it boys, really.
mircea_popescu: it's gonna be funny
as we age, and all sorts of infantile derps are the #78589 satoshi
shinohai: Coinbase is rebranding their exchange
as well -added ETH like all the other hippies lately.
mircea_popescu: recall, the usg & friends,
as well
as any and all other wanna-be, pretended or otherwise power centers have been regularly humiliated.
trinque: just whatever's passed to the search page
as data
PeterL: depends on other factors
as well
mircea_popescu: acetone, barely 20, also rather volatile if not
as toxic.
mircea_popescu: but if the "purpose" of the axe (
as you imagine it) is unspoken part of the design,
mircea_popescu: even your "primitive man won't stray" argument is broken,
as you stop midway. a) the point of his following your recipe is that he got off lazy butt ; if he doesn't, he doesn't AT ALL. why would he get off lazy butt JUST
AS FAR
as you imagine he would and no further ?
mircea_popescu: anwyay, there's not so much difference between what we're saying. "make it repeatable"
as you say is part of parcel of "economy of scale"
as i say.
mircea_popescu: in fact, a useful heuristic to distinguish magic and technology, is that
as the stakes increase, magic gets harder and technology easier to do.
mircea_popescu: and who promised you such barrier
as "a jungle far away" ?
mircea_popescu: this "is_technology" function is never
as usefully decidable
as schoolteachers like to pretend.
mircea_popescu: inasmuch
as it allowed the swedes to pretend to being a nation for absolutely no other discerinble reason,
mircea_popescu: tell you what, something
as finely technical
as, the lorenz contraction, still is not "universally accessible". in fact, it is outside of the purview of ~all us schoolchildren.
mircea_popescu: because,
as per the discussion of "ideas" : in my hand it's an idea, in derp'\s hand is nothing, for derp may not have ideas.
mircea_popescu: just
as long
as you admit to an increase of maximal-possible-mojo per capita, and to a decrease in marginal utility per capita, you're basically admitting the premises.
mircea_popescu: i don't give the first inkliong of a shit
as to whether it could "rightfully" be called technical, inovation, or pornography. that's a concern for kids debating superman-vs-spiderman encounters.
mircea_popescu: but
as per our discussion of monsanto, if your idea of "innovation" in humanities is alligned with "absolute first", you can't even PERCEIVE humanities, let alone meaningfully interact with em.
mircea_popescu: for instance, i'm deliberately keeping my ongoing "war on the web"
as far
as attacking forums goes on a very low roar. not that i couldn't scale it up and end ~any web-based forum, owing to the incredible incompetence of the scammers involved. but then, millions of derps would in a voice go "ok so these are bad, what should we do ?"
mircea_popescu: this is where one writes code
as a young man that then makes them famous for rest of life, the c and whatnot of our time. you see what i mean ?
mircea_popescu: plenty of other good ones ( asciilifeform you recall reporting on that group pushing 20 year old schweizer
as "wai of footure" at some conference ? ), but the more important point is, that this is a fine field for innovation
as it stands. it's very far from "settled science", where the logical move is to simply import the universally accepted library and move on.
mircea_popescu: that aside, the IDEA of ipfs,
as far
as can be distinguished, is not necessarily bad.
mircea_popescu: anyway, Framedragger golang is not liked here because we don't own it, and we don't like usg.google more than we like usg.anything, and because it seems quite well engineered to work
as a baited hook for the usg chump works.
☟︎ Framedragger: > There's just no life in this idea
as originally thought out, a browser thing.
mircea_popescu: by 1160, which catches us in paris, we're up to a leverage of maybe
as high
as twenty, and so "most men" is good enough an approximation. about 60-70% really.
mircea_popescu:
as the bar to the individuation is fixed ~the mean of the leverage, so obviously
as that increases the sigma-ness associated increases also (by about the square root ?)
mircea_popescu:
as the maximal leverage avaialble to the individual increases, the % of things crawling out of cunts (which, recall, run perl) that may ever individuate decreases.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: nah. i disagree. usa was first to pretend like underage male fuckwards are "worker bees", which only can be meaningfully attempted for ~a certain kind~ of software. what we reference here
as the web.
mircea_popescu: the very deeply ignorant approach is rather notable, to my eyes. derps seriously think that's how genetics works, much like a baby perceiving his environment
as a photographic still rather than a dynamic equilibrium and so faceplanting self once an hour
mircea_popescu: but yes, for any republican bioscientists in the making : the scientific way to study something like plant resistance to X is to : 1. create the first generation test environment. this means a witness, and a number of exposures (maybe dosed variously, with other substances too, etc). 2. create next generation environment. this means, your experiment now subdivides into
as many experiments equal to 1
as there were tests perfor
mircea_popescu: by the time this is actually needed, all that'll be about
as interesting
as soviet rubles.
shinohai: Radio was like the first thing I was interested in
as a child.
shinohai: I grudgingly admit that mircea_popescu was right
as always, that I would enjoy it if I got off my ass and did it.
mircea_popescu: i took "temperament" to stand
as proxy of general human quality.
mircea_popescu: about
as successful
as their homologues over at chernobyl
mircea_popescu: who the fuck hires noobs
as free agents. if you train them, they either pay or indenture wtf.
a111: Logged on 2015-04-07 00:10 mircea_popescu: just like having a car doesn't alow having gasoline. it's true that often people who have cars also independently have gasoline, but the two are fundamentally unrelated, and there is such a thing
as the fool's breakdown, ie, car's outta gas on the side of hte road.
mircea_popescu: should prolly brand it
as such, "Bob and Joe's Lewd and Lascivious Carwash"
mircea_popescu: pretty much the same effect on my hindbrain
as i suppose the "NUDE GIRLS" shows for vegas habituals
mircea_popescu: cocacola does not propoise that the reason it somehow has value (notwithstanding it exists
as a rented office with five derps in it) is its "market share"
a111: Logged on 2016-05-12 15:47 mircea_popescu: also, please don't refer to tmsr
as "a community". it is not "a community", it is your liege.
mircea_popescu: 4. convert the phuctor key db into a sks
as per republican spec. the strategy being that we will confiscate all public key crypto just like we confiscated bitcoin from the fucktarded zombie horde.
mircea_popescu: and why'd you install "a server"
as distinct from just merging phuctor db ? wtf is this, since when do we credit sks-pr ?
mircea_popescu: and the reason i had to have it fucking machined is exactly this, "oh sounds like hammock stand we got that" "bitch, did i say this pos ?!" "oh, it's just
as good!" "go make a fucking website somewhere".
Framedragger: i guess i can post that text
as comment on original blog post
mircea_popescu: weight in plutonium for this item is hereby defined
as "in excess of 1mn usd / kg".
mircea_popescu: (ftr, while "internet brands" is exactly the same shit
as interactive corp, it's patently untrue vbulletin was ever anything but a steaming pile of shit.)
a111: Logged on 2016-05-17 16:02 BingoBoingo: Anyways, prolly ought to convert
as many appliances
as you can from electric to 2-cycle gas motors because Hitler hates their farts.
mircea_popescu: but no, generally no such thing. note that the breast we all know and love is clinically known
as the immature breast

BingoBoingo: And Bahamas insisting people allow transgenders to use the bathrooms they identify
as, even if they are mayogender but still identify
as their former gender

☟︎☟︎ BingoBoingo: In other news, Imgur.com is the latest popular shitsite whose urls will lead to a Qntra comment being auto ignored
as spam.
a111: Logged on 2016-05-17 08:01 mircea_popescu: honestly, it's a surprise to me they haven't introduced cockcaging for us kids
as of yet. for one thing, they're doing the entire fucktarded "can't drink till 21", so they definitely could. for the other thing, it'd make so much fucking sense, in the twisted psychopathy that passes for sense in the us world : kid gets a nice cage around the age of 3 or so. prevents penis from growing, which is +++. mom gives the key to a well
mircea_popescu: anyone has any argument
as to how exactly the "computer security" people aren't EXACTLY scammers ?
