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% ;
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.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform wouldja watch
the savages movie ?
then ima ellaborate on
that basis.
danielpbarron: used
to
to make a bunch of 0.001 notes
to hand out
shinohai: Are
they any good danielpbarron ?
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.
mircea_popescu: I would never
trust
the legal system, frankly,
to protect my family again, Jeff Sikorski said.
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 nations 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: "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: ("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: "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

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.
mats: they did retake
tikrit, but
that's not rly a win... just less of a loss
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...
jurov: and subprime mortgages
too. and...

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
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
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"
mircea_popescu: it is INDUCTIVELY accessible, if you have
the
time
to induce all
the needed factors. which we knew.
mircea_popescu: phf quite exactly. which is why i don't use
the
term nor
think much of reasonings employing it as a rule.
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"
mircea_popescu: phf i hope you're not about
to put magic numbers in
the fucking code!
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.
phf: mircea_popescu: i didn't understand
that last question
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
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"
