mircea_popescu: such as i dunno wtf
these schmucks did before becoming "scientists", but i imagine revolutionizing keyboards and inventing better paper clips
mircea_popescu: well,
the science is setled alright :
there is no science in "climate blabla, back
to more productive uses.
BingoBoingo: d" face
the inevitable and logical consequence of
that stance."
BingoBoingo: Just deserts from
the mines "With an ax rather
than a scalpel, Australia's federal science agency last week chopped off its climate research arm in a decision
that has stunned scientists and left employees dispirited. Why? Because
the science is settled,
there is no need for more basic research,
the government says. No doubt many will experience a case of schadenfreude as
they see
those who have long claimed "the science is settle
ben_vulpes: i am now renaming my cock
to CSCL Indian Ocean
☟︎ ben_vulpes: mega container ship grounded in
the elbe for FIVE DAYS
mircea_popescu: my foreskin generally retracts on
the first pass, just how wide IS
this woman ?
mircea_popescu: wait
this hk boat / elbe
thing was a sexual innuendo item ?
ben_vulpes: unrelatedly, it
took 12 (!)
tugs
to get
the HK boat ungrounded from
the elbe
BingoBoingo: Also
to chase away wild Obeasts who happen
to glomp in
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i chastise, yes, but i don't believe in destroying
the woman. canes, not clubs.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: re: codebabez you should
totally come visit sometime
jurov: the last
trb release is a WRONG
thing nao?
jurov: "nor is it clear
that it is a useful
thing
to do" but lxr must show it!!1 lmao.
phf: extended version usually deployed by short and fat female cops in american
tv shows. "sir, SIR, sir. sir!"
BingoBoingo: But seriously
these
things are useful for beating down most
things. Better made for
that
than some hammers I've seen
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
There's a full range of
them
BingoBoingo: Also
thinner C cell model for people concerned about weapon retention
BingoBoingo: <phf> i
thought police carries
those oversized maglites for
the purpose of using
them as batons in a pinch << yes. For
this 4, 5, or 6 D cell models
phf: i
thought police carries
those oversized maglites for
the purpose of using
them as batons in a pinch
BingoBoingo: But flashlight are
the only
thing US does, so now cottage industry around making
them into other
things
mircea_popescu: it
took me a while
to buy one
that wasn't uv-led powered.
mircea_popescu: they can't make a plane or maintain
the roads, but by god have you seen how superior
their flashlights are over
the orcs' ?
mircea_popescu: actually
to risk going on a limb :
the us is an ex-industrial pwoerhouse, made pseudo-rich by uninspired finalcial arrangements.
the degeneracy
that necessarily came from
that picked a
tiny
topic and is making
the glory of past days play out all over it.
that
topic is flashlights.
mircea_popescu: it boggles
the mind, what
the fuck people are doing with flashlights over
there
these days.
mircea_popescu: because
there's a humongo market of ... flashlights, of all
things, in
the us. and
trying
to invent value for it so
the assburger'd males keep buying
them
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: "storage cups"
that go into
tubular aluminum flashlight body... Come with replacement end cap featuring drilled hole.
mircea_popescu: the
task is :
to compute a) and b) for N2`, N3`` and all N4s.
mircea_popescu: i could hash out a more complex example if it may help, since
this NOTATIONAL FORMALISM (see
that alf!!!) actually solves
the problem of saying graphs. something i wasn't going
to do before not because you can't display
them, but because im
too lazy
to draw em.
mircea_popescu: this is
the counterposed
thing. in
this case, i would wish for N6
to know
that a) abc and b) c ; whereas for N4
that a) abc and b) a OR b and finally for N2
that a) abc and b) a Or B or C
mircea_popescu: what i said
then phf was, i must be able
to
tell a) which people in
total contributed and b) on what sets of people does
the present press depend.
phf: it's not, i need
to reread relevant
threads, and
this one
mircea_popescu: this gets
to
the core of what i was asking of phf
to do with
those lists.
mircea_popescu: of what ? no, it's not a
tie, is c running off with
the count
mircea_popescu: in
this situation, "longest chain signed by ab) is 4, longest chain signed by c is 6. what is longest chain signed by abc ? 6
too ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform consider
this problem for a moment if you will : have people a, b and c ; have nodes as follows : G(a,b,c) -> N1 (a, b, c) -> N2 (a, b, c) -> N3 (a, b) / N3' (c) -> N4 (a,b) / N4' (c) -> N5 (c) -> N6 (c).
assbot: Logged on 09-02-2016 15:16:19; ben_vulpes: press a patch without hashes in
the headers
mircea_popescu: aite, i see. really should drop
the latest it's confucksing
BingoBoingo: V like everything else only exists in
the present
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform note
that longest per se is meaningless.
jurov: alf said
there is!!!!11
jurov: and
to press
the "last pressable" I do what command?
mircea_popescu: but
this is not really a cogent consideration. as far as levels are concerned,
this "current" one would be just qas much l1 as all
the other direct-G descendants.
mircea_popescu: how would it be among "Current" leaves. we don't have a notion of
time.
jurov: If
they can come
to unanimous agreement, which one is
the longest, praps.
mircea_popescu: i also confess
to mentally having an imaginary pre-G as a master node for all
the various G's such as shiva's bitcoins v's etc.
mircea_popescu confesses
to still
thinking of v
tron in
terms of
tree not exactly dag.
