thestringpuller: LOL. my coworkers just bailed. it's weird being
the responsibile one...
mircea_popescu: jurov> (i actually did
the prototype, noone picked it up yet, really gnarly) << yeah i know it's rather miserable.
jurov: this is *the* problem, not chained unconfirmed
transactions
jurov: it will be done some day in shivascheme, maybe even by me, but I don't seehow
to keep good (or predictable) memory usage
jurov: (i actually did
the prototype, noone picked it up yet, really gnarly)
jurov: to compare, implementing mircea's ring buffer with both random insertion and low memory overhead, now
that's some real algorithmic complication on C machine
☟︎ BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo should i do a small piece on argentina or really
too far off scope ? << Go for it
mircea_popescu: and in other gross and deeply disturbing news you had no idea you were interested in :
the right way
to get
the butt flavour in girl's mouth is
to fuck ass with condom on,
then
take it off and have her suck you. bacteria - do not cross
the silicon barrier. mercaptans and other intoxicating goodies - do.
mircea_popescu: come
to
think about it, i guess good intel works pretty much like you want your lisp ast
thing
to work.
mircea_popescu: PeterL honestly i suspect it's more of a "we're slowly outgrowing
this quaint historical convention where it's what's done."
PeterL: Abstract in English so
that people can decide whether or not
they need
to get
the rest of
the paper
translated
mircea_popescu: or as much as fits in
the buffer i'm willing
to handle, at any rate.
mircea_popescu: so if i want
the raw for something, i can generally get
the raw for something.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the way my intel works is
that i don't give a shit about
the source data, i read summaries of summaries. but god fucking help you if i go for a endpoint-to-endpoint spot check and
the whole conduit isn't
there.
PeterL: "English is
the language of science!"
mircea_popescu: and curse you, now i want
to read inept shit about cuprate superconductives.
mircea_popescu: libraries in cn about physics written in cn by cn
that you can't get in english
mircea_popescu: sure. but
the stupid parts are not of particular interest here.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform publishes plenty, and
the ru even
translate here and
there.
mircea_popescu: PeterL your definition of works being, of course,
that it's never included in any actual measurements of anything. look
through
the actual research sheets,
the euros never bother asking
them
to replicate jack.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform seeing how
the article is about english articles, exactly not like
those.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform recall
the lulz i had in
the logs when it was discovered
the icbc, an economic institution with a sheet larger
than
the entire us banking sector, was actually NOT EVEN
TRADED in
the us ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
there's all sorts of chinese, and enough of each sort,
to feed all bologna factories both with workers and raw material. and still have leftover actual phjds.
mircea_popescu: and all
the smoke and mirrors
the vc freakshow may aim
to deploy with software ain't gonna help lipstick
this one pig.
PeterL: well,
the cyclotron works currently,
the frib is an addition
mircea_popescu: this means
the good chinese phds do not go
there anymore ; and
that
the americans who aren't fucktarded long left.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform only works if you're alone.
the us is quite behind in
tech fixed goods atm.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, beause
the euros and
the chinese are building actual working
things.
mircea_popescu: not
that. "National superconducting cyclotron" <
that.
mircea_popescu: because
the cyclotron building either works or does not. and
they can't lie about
the latter.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform is what i'm saying here making sense
to you ?
mircea_popescu: PeterL how much does
that sorta
thing cost ? you know ?
PeterL: The chemistry building where I went
to college sits adjacent
to
the "National superconducting cyclotron",
they were in
the process of building
the "facility for rare isotope beams" when I graduated
mircea_popescu: ironically, sultans and other practitioners of "man-slavegirls-theirlitter family" did and regularly do hear such, for reasons
that should be obvious and for which reason
they're never discussed in idiocy-land.
mircea_popescu: i don't
think any human being in
the history of
this "man-woman family" idiocy has EVER heard "sure dad, go ahead, it's your money anyway"
mircea_popescu: try having children sometime, and
then give
them money, and
then see what happens.
mircea_popescu: it has its own head. and
this is a serious problem for
the pretense of central planning, because
they effectively suck down resources.
mircea_popescu: it is NOT a usg crown hedgefund anymore
than romania was a soviet property.
mircea_popescu: the savings show in mit's bottom line, not in
the fed's.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it looks like, mit still is
the hedge fund it was, whether it spends x on wage and y on fixed/capital goods or just x/2 on wage and epsilon on f/c
assbot: Logged on 04-03-2016 18:20:51; mircea_popescu: specifically : while
the universities may well be pushing costs down as you describe,
they're sure as fuck noty passing
the savings up
the chain
to comecon.
mircea_popescu: you know what
the eu cyclotron cost ? you know,
that
thing
the us could never afford ?
mircea_popescu: (but now we know what
the "protests" were for. softening - in preparation of
this.)
mircea_popescu: curious if any of
the loser satellites will succeed, or for
that matter
try, something similar.
mircea_popescu: notably enough : romania
told
the soviets
to shut it, and as a result
the policy was updated
to allow people (ie, romania)
to do w/e it pleases.
mircea_popescu: specifically : while
the universities may well be pushing costs down as you describe,
they're sure as fuck noty passing
the savings up
the chain
to comecon.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: that's 100
trn in air bubble
to breathe while
the dod keeps losing
trucks nominally full of
trucks
that were fully loaded with
trucks.
mircea_popescu: you can replace
the ~100
trn worth ivy league & friends
that do a 10-20 bn spending on actual hardware each year and otherwise shuffle paper on
the exchanges with a new-and-improved
thing worth ~1-2 bn
that spends 50 bucks on mcdonalsa a year.
PeterL: isn't
the "m" in "stem" math?
mircea_popescu: oh,
this isn't about math.
this is about stem. stem costs
TURKEY dollars.
mircea_popescu: why ? currently
the harvard/mit/etc hedge funds masquerading as universities are pretty much
the largest problem on fed's map.
mircea_popescu: cuz yeah,
the socialists here more or less ready
to firebomb
the socialists from
there.
mircea_popescu: oh in somewaht lulzy news : obama is going
to be in argentina 23-24th. he (and his 850 camp followers) is however not going
to stay in buenos aires, but some far flung provincial shithole. either because afraid of running into me on corrientes, or else because petrified of LEFT WING PROTESTS.
mircea_popescu: something else other
than
the uni-money pump can't be sustained anymore ? why ?
mircea_popescu: new party line i guess. proactively closing
the uni financing gap and all
that.
assbot: I no longer understand my PhD dissertation (and what
this means for Mathematics Education) — Medium ... (

danielpbarron: dealing poker at porcfest;
that picture was
taken in
the morning near
the end of an all-night game
danielpbarron: btw,
that guy on
the right is Birdman of Eulora infamy
mircea_popescu: you gotta re-doi
the overlay on
the header
tho, i can see
the edges and a nose/hairline of a guy in
the irght
