mircea_popescu: this is
the golden means between
the abaccus of filling
the log with #twitter #dumb #shit and
the insanity of string-searching gb of material each pageload.
phf: yeah,
that's what i'm
thinking, and
then
things like $#434 will just have whatever own buckets
that
they want
mircea_popescu: if he doesn't like space as a
tokenizer he has other issues.
phf: but
that means some
tokenization algo, which presumably breaks ascii's "want search like grep!!!1" requirement
phf: oddest
things using #'= in a search across numeric vectors instead of #'eql slows
things down by 1.3 seconds...
mircea_popescu: specifically "selling out
the general case
to favour
the common case"
phf: anyone remember
that article about grep doing some weird
tricks
to speed itself up?
phf: so a grep
through an entire log
takes 1.5s (testing with grep lsd), same
thing done in a log
thingy
takes 3s
mircea_popescu: the white people like it because it certifies
their interesting-ness, just like a neglected housewife is flattered by
the attention of pubescent makes.
the government engages in
the behaviour because it is a pubescent male. win-win as
they say.
mircea_popescu: which latter category
the whole "datamining/surveillance" crap is all about.
mircea_popescu: looky :
there's many kinds of know. couple lives across
the hall from you. you "know"
they're probably fucking now and again.
this is very different from
teenager spying
through door cracks
to catch glimpses.
mircea_popescu: what,
there's a relation between knowledge and action now ?
mircea_popescu: why can't it ask
them ? ha! because it's made up of pasty white boys. it can't ask
them for
the same reasonh
the pasty ass white boys individually can't ask
the cashiers for a blowjob.
mircea_popescu: usg would like
to know as much as black min wage workers ; but it can't ask
them
mircea_popescu: "The NEWS will depict
this violence as a protest gone out of control. However, as of 11:00 a.m. black female cashiers at
the Shoppers supermarket at Mondawmin mall knew
through social media
that riots were being planned by high school students—an attack from students at one school [Frederick Douglas high School] on
the very shopping center
their parent's patronized." <<
this actuallyt is very illustrative of
the whole "spyi
mircea_popescu: heh. guy won't even share what he's making when quitting in disgust.
teh bars run deep.
mircea_popescu: "I’m over six miles from
the city line, among
townhomes
that go for 400K, walking
through a park
that is a slice of solitude during
the day and a gauntlet at night; a park where I have seen
two gangs parley in a formal manner as I pretended
to be some homeless slob on
the next bench, and where,
this
time last year, I saw a white stoner in his 20s
trying
to
talk his girl into getting into a van full of black guys as she crie
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: how does leased electricmobile
that will work hummingly and economically for
three years until returned
to mothership compare
to plastic food
that becomes part of one's body ?
mircea_popescu: can develop personality, may end up wanting
to fuck your friends etc.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: for
the automologists, mind sharing make, model, and year ?
ben_vulpes: microelectric shitmobile is economical in
the same way
that ersatz american cheese is economical
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: what you'll
take and what's more economical are different considerations
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: cars ? just
two, soon
to be whittled back down
to 1, but
then perhaps back
to
two.
ben_vulpes: mostly because i intend
to own
the
thing for over a decade, and not drive it a whole lot.
ben_vulpes: i'll
take
the odd
thousand dollar charge over a car lease.
ben_vulpes: btw, where is
the epic mp asciilifeform
thread about
tuning
the nonce shifting
to ensure nodes have a market for
their digests?
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: not saying you should rent a car and "win" "points", but you recall our earlier discussion of
tco ?
ben_vulpes: not a lot of
time
to get keccak into
the hairball.
mircea_popescu: same stupid shit, from
the same roots, by
the same people.
mircea_popescu: what, you
think just because xtianity pretended
to quarrel with itself, socialism is anything other
than catolicism now ?!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the reason "no one can
take from you" is because it's been
taken already. sorta like nobody can burn water or steal
the intelligence of mongoloids.
mircea_popescu: (also more intensive use of capital :
took 5 swings of
the sword before running away, instead of 4. sword-on-battlefield is
the eminent capital of feudalism)
mircea_popescu: same headcount of cattle, weirs and lands
to distribute as squires, stronger army nevertheless.
mircea_popescu: investing is, by and large,
the capitalist equivalent of honorable in fedualism.
the country with more honorable barons had a better footing in war.
mircea_popescu: PeterL it works for
the group. a society with better investment policies will have more intensive usage of capital and
thus drive other societies out
mircea_popescu: efficiency works, in
the sense
that
the more efficient corporation will drive
the others out. but
this is a business, not a household concern.
mircea_popescu: part
two. how one proceeds
to not be poor is unrelated
to what mp does.
mircea_popescu: infantine equivalencies you propose
to
the world notwithstanding, as
they have no standing.
mircea_popescu: more importantly, since you won't let go : what you wish your asshole
to be used for and what it is used for are also divorced.
mircea_popescu: the cunt's experience in fucking whatever penis is not related
to
this in any sense.
mircea_popescu: in
the illustration used,
the cunt has
the CAPACITY
to procreate, with whatever man, as a function of whether it works or does not work. if it has
the capaqcity
to procreate, it will procreate. if it doesn't procreate, it's because IT didn';t work, NOT because
the cock was black.
mircea_popescu: part one. you said "i've never done 'honest work' in my whole life, phf." ; and "mircea_popescu has a spiffy article, about folks 'worth
their weight in frozen pork'".
this equivocates experience with capacity.
