mircea_popescu: much like aeron flux, this film sins because a) the chick should have been naked about 50% of the film more, ie 50% instead of 0% ;
asciilifeform: the unfortunate bit is that folks who actually build & fly planes, typically do not make film
mircea_popescu: yeah, well, at least the other one was vaguely funny and vaguely sexy.
mircea_popescu: fucking parochial ustardism, what's next, galleons are built through correctly making the sign of the corss, and starships through correctly reciting the sensitivity credo ?
mircea_popescu: it's a remake of the 5th element, except the new mila jovovich (that eskimo looking chick that played suzi q, the rape victim) is not up to the dumb blonde par ; and without bruce willis the whole thing decays into incredible ineptitude.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: care to comment why barfed ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform wouldja watch the savages movie ? then ima ellaborate on that basis.
asciilifeform: solzhenitsyn's thing with 'if every man hit the arresting kgb agent with an axe' is not wholly mistaken, but consider, individual bee sting does not kill a bear. ~hive~ stings.
asciilifeform: my understanding is that mircea_popescu sees the difference as a 'balls', 'blood & iron' matter of personal courage. whereas it is slightly gnarlier, pashtun has his family->clan->tribe healthy human thing going, eskimo likewise, usian - has the 'star topology' with the Great Inca at the center and ~nothing else~ but own sorry carcass.
mircea_popescu: the means, they have.
asciilifeform: but not in usaschwitz, where chickens and people alike have their beaks sawn off, so as not to damage the valuable meat.
asciilifeform: Mar 30 10:02:53 <mircea_popescu> “I would never trust the legal system, frankly, to protect my family again,” Jeff Sikorski said. << l0l!! it is worth comparing usaschwitz inmate to, e.g., pashtun, or even eskimo. even lowliest savage has ~some~ means with which to bite back, avenge an affront.
asciilifeform: l0l the thing with shitberry pi
danielpbarron: used to to make a bunch of 0.001 notes to hand out
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ... "pleaded guilty on Tuesday to a federal terrorism charge" << recall, a few kidz were convicted after ~publicly speaking in favour of~ isis et al.
shinohai: Are they any good danielpbarron ?
danielpbarron: i actually have one of those things
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ' ... and check it out, the us has more "law enforcement agencies" than there are people who give a shit ' << 15 ~federal~ police agencies with powers of arrest alone! iirc.
shinohai: Thats an old post, wonder why it is just being posted to sfyl
mircea_popescu: mno. redditard claims he owns 43 btc and other things.
danielpbarron: oh hah, now i did the wrong channel thing
mircea_popescu: “I would never trust the legal system, frankly, to protect my family again,” Jeff Sikorski said.
deedbot-: [Trilema] How to best cultivate jealousy. - http://trilema.com/2016/how-to-best-cultivate-jealousy/
mircea_popescu: "identified more than 70,000 untested sexual assault kits in the custody of more than 1,000 law enforcement agencies in communities large and small, pointing to a national accumulation of untested kits that likely reaches well into the hundreds of thousands across the nation’s 18,000 law enforcement agencies." << and check it out, the us has more "law enforcement agencies" than there are people who give a shit whether it li
mircea_popescu: by now the entire usg government is approximately a webforum.
mircea_popescu: lol these derps.
mircea_popescu: "The couple was identified by authorities after they contacted undercover federal agents online about assistance traveling to Syria." ; "pleaded guilty on Tuesday to a federal terrorism charge"
mircea_popescu: wait, that's a crime ?
mircea_popescu: ("A Michigan woman was arrested after she expressed a willingness to have sex with a pair she thought was a father and underage daughter, police said.", obviously. gotta keep teh gestapo fed. publish or perish!)
mircea_popescu: "woman tried to arrange daddy-daughter tryst"
mircea_popescu: it's fucking moscow over there wtf.
mircea_popescu: "vanilla shortage - icecream prices to increase" ; "fast food workers share things you should avoid"
mircea_popescu: jesus the headlines on usatoday, "17 yo michigan girl gets 10-20 years for plot to kill family"; "dad who murdered his kids to be executed wed" etc.
shinohai: Anyone here having any luck on chan logs? I can log fine, but making them search-able has been futile for me thus far.
mircea_popescu: deedbot-> [Trilema] The Savages - http://trilema.com/2016/the-savages/ <<< incidentally, i'm really curious what peeps think iof this move.
mats: they did retake tikrit, but that's not rly a win... just less of a loss
mircea_popescu: neway, plox to qntra if you have juicy.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller "Join the world's fastest growing platform for moving, converting​, transacting ​and holding any form of money or commodity.​ Instantly, securely and for free.​" << if someone actually takes that sort of thing seriously...
mircea_popescu: omfg trinque like... TESTS shit ? this is an outrage.
mircea_popescu: mats i thought they won tikrit ?!
jurov: and subprime mortgages too. and...
thestringpuller: seems dangerous to speculate BTC deposits
jurov: thestringpuller: so? every bank does, unless forbidden to
thestringpuller: looks like the Uphold people are speculating user funds.
thestringpuller: looks like the Uphold people /wind 2
shinohai: 01:32 +trinque http://dpaste.com/0RFY3HF.txt << getting there with deedbot <<< Awesum :)

trinque: I need to clean some things up, probably swap sqlite for postgresql, then it's ready.
mats: shit their pants and didn't even get inside city limits yet
trinque: http://dpaste.com/0RFY3HF.txt << getting there with deedbot
mats: history repeats itself -- iraqis are evidently clever enough to know they can't win
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: The old civil defense detectors tend behave pretty erratically
punkman: even better, you gift them in christmans/newyears, have them be normal for 3 months
mircea_popescu: diddled so after an hour of fuctioning or so they go into detecting overdrive.
mircea_popescu: speaking of detecting gear, one of the best geek gotcha april fools thing would be to gift scam geiger counters to friends
mats: imagine my disappointment when the thing turns out to be handheld
mats: when he said he 'kitted out [his] detecting gear', i thought he bought a mounted MD/GPR thing for his vehicle
phf: hmmm rotor script actually uses 4.9, for some reason i though it was frozen around 4.2-4.3 but maybe i'm confusing it with eulora
asciilifeform: but can't ~link~ to this.
mircea_popescu: didn't you say you wanted it to work like grep ?
mircea_popescu: omaigerd grep teh local log
deedbot-: [Trilema] The Savages - http://trilema.com/2016/the-savages/
asciilifeform: aha, in the sense where one can write a proggy, which is guaranteed to terminate in finite number of cycles, and will disgorge it.
phf: i assume you're talking not about a mechanism, but rather thinking process, in which case mp's private key is "known".
mircea_popescu: an ancient, and rather netwonian explanation of the difference is that deduction is all from god ; and induction from sensata.
mircea_popescu: you're thinking mathematical induction, perhaps, which has nothing to see with the logical concept of induction.
mircea_popescu: that's a deduction. you keep changing 2, that's your inductive job.
mircea_popescu: 1 : "p and q are in this n" ; 2 : "if q is this" then therefore 3. "p is n/this"
asciilifeform: what is being inducted in trial division /
mircea_popescu: well, why not. show the syllogism.
asciilifeform: just need a few thousand years of deductatron
mircea_popescu: it is INDUCTIVELY accessible, if you have the time to induce all the needed factors. which we knew.
mircea_popescu: this does not mean that it is deductively accessible.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: p and q are right there in that n
mircea_popescu: phf quite exactly. which is why i don't use the term nor think much of reasonings employing it as a rule.
asciilifeform: so i rarely find myself arithmetizing 'is this fella TOO FAR in the phase space of priors' or the like.
asciilifeform: the thing about 'crazy' is that, like bacterial infection, in practice it comes in a handful of varieties.
phf: because it comes out to something like, if the outcome of inductive reasoning differs from my (??) existing conclusions, than the outcome is crazy
phf: well, with that framing my definition of crazy is reduced to "what's not in groupthink"
mircea_popescu: this definition was obtained through negotiation in class ; teacher had speech mania of saying "obvious", we protested, eventually the poor guy couldn't be needled into the ground with it so this solution was agreed upon and upheld by all parties.
mircea_popescu: "accessible through purely deductive means = obvious ; requiring some inductive reasoning = unobvious"
asciilifeform: 'obvious' obviously is similar to 'lightweight' (for whom? elephant? ant?)
mircea_popescu: phf i hope you're not about to put magic numbers in the fucking code!
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, there it is.
phf: well, perhaps then transferability has some range values attached to it, "how much effort do i need to go through in order to grok"
mircea_popescu: but anyway, illustrations abound. from "the ratio of circumference to diameter" plouffe doesn't actually follow.
mircea_popescu: did he mean it like that ?
asciilifeform: 'obvious' is a term of art in mathematics.
mircea_popescu: phf "to an extent" is always the case.
phf: mircea_popescu: i didn't understand that last question
asciilifeform: 'I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate.' (tm) (r)
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform often asks pet, 'what does your female coprocessor say to ..X..' << not a bad line, this.
mircea_popescu: and another example recently in the logs too, actually one each day.
mircea_popescu: "<mircea_popescu> at any rate : it is immensely more difficult to actually make a physical proof than the scheme detailed by bernstein immediately makes apparent."
phf: but in this case priors are pissing, woman and backstreet of cairo
mircea_popescu: as opposed to every time ever ?
phf: that's a prior that can be easier transferred, but only to an extent. i've not had that specific experience, perhaps there's some insight there that i'm missing beyond the obvious
mircea_popescu: da fuck, you're not as slow as to not understand pissing, woman, backstreet or cairo./
mircea_popescu: i took a piss on a woman splayed in the backalleys of cairo. you did not. this is now not-transferrable ?!
phf: mircea_popescu: i clarified it a bit with "non-trivial to transfer"
