mircea_popescu: by now getting kinda dim tho. but the 0000 sets, definitely worth doing.
mircea_popescu: there'd conceivably be onlty a coupla thousand of them.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, you realise what this suggests : try all primes of the format xx(124 bits of 0)yy.
mircea_popescu: as it's fucking unlikely two machines crashed the particular way i describe.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the fact that both 220.157.192.232 and 113.37.155.10 used ~different~ keys that had this as a factor kinda favour your theory, "set bit on null-rnd, nextprime()".
mircea_popescu: ie, conceivably, someone had a set of 64-bit registers, one of which contained "cd"
mircea_popescu: "our prime generator consists of crashing the program and using the core dump"
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron, while present, i'd say these are marginal considerations here, mostly exploited for their comedic potential.
mircea_popescu: anyway, ~most~ of what's left of imperial cultural / intellectual life is exactly, "explaining bits and pieces of the deceased culture of the white man, for gorillas that aren't white man but like to feel like they ~could be~, if they ~really wanted to~.
mircea_popescu: may i suggest one of your next posts, by the title "A summary of MacArthur & stuff, for the use of MP, who doesn't give a shit about such things" ?
mircea_popescu: btw lobbes, let me ask you this : when is a door not a door ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: he was put on the radar once his lordship danielpbarron decided to move to rural ok.
mircea_popescu: well adapted to life in a democracy, sure, but that's besides the point. mentally vacuous as all get-out.
mircea_popescu: i'm not making any judgement about him ; but i am pointing out the whatever they're called, the dudes he's fixated on, are very obviously total tards.
mircea_popescu: this is incidentally a pretty decent parlour trick : take a bonbon in one hand and nothing i nthe other, and present young child with the choice -- but shake your head no as he goes for the bonbon. you'll be surprised (really, in esl lands you'll be downright shocked) how much trouble young kids have in escaping this trap.
mircea_popescu: because this works, especially if you're a 40yo woman confronting a 5yo boy.
mircea_popescu: /2015/heres-what-they-dont-tell-you-when-they-bring-you-those-papers-to-sign/ sense of choice) : either he picks "someone", where someone is defined as ~one of them~, some boeck or other, in which case, "here's an article by the boeck ~you picked~ saying ~you're wrong" ; or else VERY BAD AND WE WILL ALL SHAKE OUR HEAD AND PRETEND LIKE YOU DID UNSPEAKABLE WRONGS
mircea_popescu: rather, you realise, david fish is not ~personally~ interesting to whatever ocean trawler neoprotestant californian "mega" church. the strict item that interests them is to reduce the sovereignity issue. as far as they're concerned the most important property of the universe is integration, a single center with everything in a star pattern. so he's supposed to be confronted very much with a "choice" (in the
http://trilema.com mircea_popescu: be that as it may ; the question was, "are you aware why they ask".
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron, you aware the dood has a set of detractors/"critics" yes ?
mircea_popescu: it's a seinfeld joke. from the virgin. "you could get forty hooks in here!"
mircea_popescu: aande in random words today : talaz, meaning wave in romanian. because θάλασσα.
mircea_popescu: it's true that on one hand this failed spectacularily with chinese in my own hands (
http://trilema.com/2016/lets-do-chinese-together/ ) ; and that a girl's on the record as having spent A YEAR with a moderate length ENGLIS?H text in this way. nevertheless, no other avenues work, long and involved and beset with perils as this one may indeed turn out to be.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless with patience you can construct your own dictionary translation, which may be informative ; and in any case is a process of actual learning as opposed to going to us.school.
mircea_popescu: hey, trilema is like, the larger half of the internets.
mircea_popescu: in fact, polyamory and the harem are exact opposites under this aspect, that polyamory is transparently enough an attempt to limit the depth of investment (after all, good soviet shouldn't love anything more than the party, right) whereas harem is on the contrary, what pitre'd call "an exagerated" investment. absolute enough to consider "move on or burn myself" dilemma as such.
mircea_popescu: and besides -- what the fuck should happen ? eventually you're old. and then dead. what, all of them should kill themselves ?
mircea_popescu: this is not so rare ; most harems end up hijacked. if slut follows soldier, then necessarily.
mircea_popescu: in this sense i suppose djb is a boneh, though i don't like how he runs his harem ; wheras yuk dude is a boeck.
mircea_popescu: i suppose as far as the orcs are concerned, it's mostly a boneh-or-boeck distinction.
mircea_popescu: Mocky, why surprised ? the republic's well informed, its spies reach far indeed.
mircea_popescu: lobbes, sure ; though it's iffier there, in that caesar and then espeically augustus actually attempted a restart of the proper republic out of the ashes of the shit it had ended up in. caesar in this sense is the polar opposite of lincoln, ie, attempted to manipulate the overwhelming pantsuit into the extinction-or-sanity dilemma, rather than being manipulated by the underwhelming pantsuit into internecine warfare.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: (ie, the constructive read theory of the legitimacy of the historical read would be, "it reproduces the structure of set theory without explicitly importing the priors, therefore it's valid". or something in that vein.)
mircea_popescu: ructive explanation of itself, making it meaningful in the alternative view.
mircea_popescu: n in the reduction of the tree of "what could the author possibly have meant" built on first pass is "what was author aware of". a direct way to bruteforce this problem is to look at dates -- exactly like we did above re FG question. if you'll look at dates, they become essentially the equivalent of the set limits in set theory -- and it is thereby you know the historical approach is intellectually valid -- it permits a const
mircea_popescu: in summary : comprehension of a text permits two approaches, one constructive and the other historical. if you approach it constructively, a text means the most it possibly can, irrespective of any auctorial considerations. it is from this school that we have eg, the theory of value in art, whereby "art are those texts that continue to mean after their context was extinguished". if you approach it historically, a major concer
mircea_popescu: Mocky, so we know you've not spent any considerable time in the field between literary theory and hermeneutics, however you'd call it. "advanced reading".
☟︎ mircea_popescu: taq/tpq : limit up to / from which something is measured ; there's also terminus a quo / terminus ad quem, but i don't like them because confusing to non-latin speakers.
mircea_popescu: dude's become a bit of a laughingstock here, after that.
mircea_popescu: nobody said the devil doesn't have a nice, thick, pleasant penis. the problem with the devil isn't that EVERYTHING is wrong.
mircea_popescu: well, "lesswrong" included. dood's checked all the checkboxes. recovery should have been impossible, if one credits the "merituous recovery" theory of recovery.
mircea_popescu: how about instead of making the female worldview the male mental default and physical females socially unacceptable, we go about the other fucking way around! LIKE SANE PEOPLE!
mircea_popescu: if you think about it, what we're ~even fixing~ about computers is EXACTLY this : god damned, maintenance ? the whole "please upgrade" bs started exactly when the female worldview became socially acceptable.
