thestringpuller: Pure unsupervised learning I don't
think is possible which I guess ascii and I both yearn for...
thestringpuller: the next best
thing is data mining and running it
through "machine learning"
to create models.
thestringpuller: meh. being a huge fan of AI, I understand
the harware yet exists
to create more formative models of "intelligence"
pete_dushenski: specifically,
that
the nsa doesn't leave ~everyone alone as a matter of practical necessity ?
pete_dushenski: "Billionaire investor and Palantir co-founder Peter
Thiel
tells Fortune
that he
thinks
that Palantir's data software can actually help end ubiquitous surveillance by showing agencies like
the NSA exactly who's up
to no good, so
they can leave everybody else alone." << fuck
thiel with alf's
telephone pole-sized stake. who is dumb enough
to believe
that
this is how ~anything~ works ?
assbot: Revelation 13:16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave,
to receive a mark on
their right hands or on
their foreheads, ... (

jurov: didn't he go further? like, upload your genome
to eth, and let it procreate
assbot: vbuterin comments on In
the future, will we be using Ethereum-like (& slock.it like)
tech
to document consensual sexual intercourse? ... (

pete_dushenski: i guess from now on massa is just gonna pick up
the
tab for his slaves
BingoBoingo: But detergent pretending
to be honest soap hides well
jurov: oh, it is irritant if you get it into
the eyes
jurov: well, i know people "indifferent
to it"
the developed hand eczemas after 20y of using it.
jurov: And when i do repeat and wash it off,
the skin is left completely stripped of fat film, which is not healthy.
jurov: I don't like laureate-contining stuff because it's hard
to wash off.
assbot: Logged on 11-03-2016 00:10:56; asciilifeform: no one wants
to LIVE badly enough
PeterL: I guess
this just goes back
to
thread on "your rent (per sqft) is
too damn high"
PeterL: asciilifeform re:quiet computer, have you considered having big computer in basement, using a chrombox-like
thing as a silent
terminal?
trinque: so now we'll have "had
the debate" as per BingoBoingo, and
the above will be overt SOP
☟︎ assbot: FBI could force us
to
turn on iPhone cameras and microphones, says Apple |
Technology |
The Guardian ... (

PeterL: In Mich if you are on a primary ballot, you cannot be listed as an independent or other party for
the general, I had
to write in Gary Johnson in 2012
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> if you run
the data, it'd actually be BETTER for him if
they refuse
to nominate. helps more
than hinders with voters. << yeah,
this way he prolly gets 20-27% of general election vote, GOP nominee gets 20-27% of vote, and Clitler gets 51.5%
☟︎ shinohai: adblock for lightswitches and
toasters.
PeterL: shinohai so
they can display personalized ads all around you
shinohai: why does lightswitch need
to know whoami ?
assbot: Logged on 11-03-2016 14:12:45; nubbins`: i assumed
this was "normal" until it just stopped happening one day
mircea_popescu: not like it made anything
that'd be remembered once it stops paying for
the service.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller no, eventually birthrate -> .5 and we forgot
this particular hittite empire ever existed, just like all
the other ones.
PeterL: could also just be where
they put
the cutoff for
the colors,
thailand barely makes
the bottom category, US and canada are barely into
the next color
mircea_popescu: thailand is a pretty interesting case - back in
the 90s it seemed very well positioned
to become a
tech superpower.
then... fizzled, somehow. korea won.
PeterL: mircea_popescu re:map of birthrates, any explanation for why
thailand is so low?
the other low places are japan and europe, which have been developed for a while,
thailand seems an outlier
danielpbarron: i assume he meant fingerprint, as in
the gpg variety
nubbins`: i assumed
this was "normal" until it just stopped happening one day
☟︎ mircea_popescu: that poor woman, she's done no film without a rape scene in it. if
there ever was an actor
that actually answered
to
the higher call of
the profession, it's probably her. and yet people will readily ignore
the point and focus on anything and everything, "hey, random stupid broad with nothing
to say wants us
to buy detergent!"
mircea_popescu: the "aquis",
the codified idiocy we've slowly coallesced into gallows.
mircea_popescu: they say it in latin,
too, as if
that makes eau d'idiot something valuable now.
mircea_popescu: because yes, romania poland et all did have a sort-of, "i made you an' ima kill you, now go learn
that fucking multiplication
table". again, until "aquis"
mircea_popescu: irl, "romania, poland et all didn't have
the problem - until
they joined eu".
mircea_popescu: and mind you,
the idiocy is quite infectious.
they way
they state it is
that "eu-28 showed signs of increasing fertility but
the
trend reversed".
mircea_popescu: i'm just explaining why i'd rather kandahar
than holland is all.
mircea_popescu: what, you were under
the impression i was proposing solutions ?
mircea_popescu: well, it cares, because
that 500mn europe has a 1.x children per woman, and 90% of
them are made with idiots, and
the 5mn are... also idiots. once you start looking at
the actual demographic breakdown, it couldn't really
take 50k of
the derps.
mircea_popescu: that's
the
thing various derps dun wanna say. sure, numerically, 500mn europe, what does it care about 5mn immigrants.
mircea_popescu: it's like, "take
the lowest quartile of
this population, let it reproduce with
the lower quartile of
that population, see what you get"
mircea_popescu: but now,
the higher value arabs are ALSO sitting home with
the bitches, and sending
the runts over.
mircea_popescu: demographically it's rather lulzy,
tho.
take europe : it went
through
three
to
twelve generations of
this negative selection, 0 reproduction from higher value individuals, depending how you count
the generations. and, woe of woes : BEFORE,
the better
tatars came raiding, and raped. so it fixed
things, for a century or
two.

they pass an old man who says, 'don't drown
this fellow. i'll feed him dumplings, he won't have
to do any work but
to dip
them'
assbot: Logged on 22-04-2015 03:59:18; ascii_lander: i would like
the ability
to shoot
them, for example, at any age
mircea_popescu: then
the female drive
to reproduce is finally balanced, and i frankly wouldn't care if
they want or don't want
to get pregnant, make your own choices.
mircea_popescu: even without shoehorning "hitler" in here,
the only sane way reproduction works is
that i have life and death power over any offspring until
they go on
their own.
mircea_popescu: if society were actually sane, i'd prolly reproduce, so
the cost issue is iffy.
mircea_popescu: depends
to.
the problem here is
that high value males are interested in owning females, not interested in producing litter. consequently, western world has fertility crisis.
