pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: anyways, you wanted
the error logs (!), you got
the error logs.
mircea_popescu: i've not
tried, but i am willing
to bet
that it'll bne fine.
davout: mircea_popescu: has
to be!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it will please you
to know
that ibm laptop suspends
to disk without issue with ubuntu 10.04
davout: i have no idea what
the english word for "cravacher" is but either way,
that's what it needs
pete_dushenski: "those are lottery numbers, not how much
tax i owe !!"
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: as long as
they're using abacii and not fortune cookies
to
tabulate columns...
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski it's unfortunate as confucianism is easily
the dumbest
think ever shat forth by
the mind of man.
assbot: Logged on 08-01-2016 15:12:30; mircea_popescu: chinese
the new jew huh
davout: it's more like "fuck you, i'm fine eating
this delicious grass right fucking here"
pete_dushenski: god help venice if it needs
to rebuild
the roads of rome
assbot: Logged on 08-01-2016 14:39:46; punkman: fucking UPS. pay for 1-2day shipping and get 6day shipping instead, even if
the weather is fine and
there's over 9000 planes flying
towards my mailbox.
davout: that would be
the pony :D
mircea_popescu: for which, incidentally, a great ad would be, woman
takes it up
the ass furiously
mircea_popescu: i
thought
they owned
that "i can't believe it's not butter"
thing.
pete_dushenski: ftr 'becel' is some kinda margarine for when
there's no butter around
assbot: Logged on 08-01-2016 13:06:39; mircea_popescu: what
the fuck is all
that other shit and what's with
the heartshape fixation ?
kakobrekla: no worries, just returning
the complaint.
davout: kakobrekla: yeah, haven't gotten
to it yet
kakobrekla: anyway,
the meat has a similar
taste, very strong. needs at least 24hrs preparation
to make it
taste good.
davout: "need
to bend lower
to reach"
davout: how does it compare
to horse
testicles?
kakobrekla: incidentally i drank goat kefir yesterday - it
tastes like licking goat balls
pete_dushenski: kakobrekla:
the ethiopian and indian restaurants around here do goat very well around here
mircea_popescu: anyone remember
the red guy as a mall cop with an electric car ?
pete_dushenski: imagine how fast
they would've caught capone et al. if he fled
the scene of every bank robbery in an electric car.
kakobrekla: but goat needs lots of preparation
to make it good, horse not so.
pete_dushenski: the chicken i buy is $23/kg,
the beef $30/kg or so. $12/kg for locally grown, straight from
the farmer is a steal of a deal
kakobrekla: locally grown, straight from
the farmer. not expencive either, 8 euros per kilo.
kakobrekla: oh and yes pete_dushenski got a couple of kilos of horse meat in
the fridge and another batch coming in 2 months.
assbot: Logged on 08-01-2016 01:26:50; mircea_popescu: (in fairness, it was
the fuel of choice of f1 engines in
the 80s, but it really is much
too high octane
to use in shitty ro-made engines of
the era. not
to mention carcinogenic)
pete_dushenski:

the gasoline-benzene mixture
that mercedes was using at le mans in 1955, which made quite
the little *boom* when pierre levegh crashed and firefighters
tried
to pour water on
the fire, only
to watch
the fire expand as
the magnesium body of
the car reacted with
the water. 83 ppl died in
that one.
☝︎ BingoBoingo: “Grades are increasingly a lousy signal, especially at
those elite places
that just hand out
the A’s. So you don’t even have
that anymore,”
BingoBoingo: "Of
the latter, she describes a pattern in which faculty members effectively practice affirmative action for all applicants who are not from East Asia, effectively having one set of GRE standards for
the students from China and elsewhere in East Asia and another, lower requirement for everyone else. "
☟︎ assbot: Logged on 08-01-2016 00:35:57; mircea_popescu: "There is stunningly little knowledge of
these people and why
they move," << nordic system is a great system, provided you only ask
the people who stay behind.
pete_dushenski: dunno if
this was
the same jam
that
thestringpuller was running into or not. but
this is where 'laocoon' is currently stuck
pete_dushenski: basically,
trying
to install 'essential' yields "Media change: please insert
the disc labeled Debian GNU/Linux 8.2.0 _Jessie_ - Official amd64 CD Binary-1 20150906-11:13' in
the drive '/media/cdrom/' and press enter"

tell pete_dushenski What qntra not authorative enough
to publish
truefax confirmed in multiple outlets?
mircea_popescu: note
that
this is exactly what
they're actually doing,
too.
mircea_popescu: basically in
that space you'd just cauchy-buniakowski-schwartz
the fuck out of everything
mircea_popescu: "bayesian
thinking" is
the equivalent of an algebra so defined
that all operators are necessarily idempotent and all functions necessarily contiguous.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: remember >> "Fiat is not just about money. Fiat is a state of mind,
the idea
that some magical bureaucrat somewhere can give you new
teeth, cure your warts and produce you a wife
to order by just saying "fiat"." << I
thought a little more about
that as I'm reading about more people
thinking about savings differently since Bitcoin exists.
The compulsion
to spend comes very strongly with fiat, whereas

phf: you've not ~seen~ either. you come across rocky patch in
the forest and call it mountain, you call wood chipper pile forest, etc.
phf: hmm, bayesian
thinking is sort of like if you walk looking at
the ground and all you see are
tiny
twigs and
then gradually all you see are
tiny rocks and you don't have an ability
to pull away and notice
that you were walking
through forest first and
then you're at a base of a mountain. it sometimes "works", becase you've been
taught
that
the
two classifications exist so you call first forest and
the second mountain, but of course
assbot: Successfully updated
the rating for funkenstein_ from 1
to 2 with note: dwarf banker and not
the antichrist.
mircea_popescu: !rate funkenstein_ 2 dwarf banker and not
the antichrist.
assbot: You rated user funkenstein_ on 15-Mar-2015, with a rating of 1, and supplied
these additional notes: New blood.
mircea_popescu: not sure mr f knows it
tho, in
truth i've been laying into him of late like he were
the antichrist or something.
phf: i was referring
to what you said about bayesian
thinking and
then chesterly
talking about his experience
mircea_popescu: but,
to make it perfectly clear, i don't believe funkenstein_ is
to any significant degree related
to
the foregoing.
that'sd what i mean by primed, i just see it everywhere now/
phf: huh, not
the first
time somebody joins during a
thread
to demonstrate
thread's point
Chesterly: in my experience, people on okcupid generally message others within
their city, not across countries/continents etc.
Chesterly: yes.
this was my research: funkenstein_ in fairness, i just got primed by some random okcupid retard.....fierceEmpath / 25 / Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
mircea_popescu: in clarifying
this error, for instgance, eliade would be very useful.
mircea_popescu: he for instance reaches for phenomenology (what happened!!!) when nothing on
the ground warrants a phenomenological explanation.
mircea_popescu: it also has a lot
to do with an implicit presumption
that
the world is comprehensible in a very mechanicist way.
mircea_popescu: it has a lot
to do with
the sad situation where "everything not encountered before is surprising" - which is, incidentally, just another way
to say "i'm stupid".
mircea_popescu: by now a clearer idea of
this particular contemporary stupidity of
the uneducated but bright young folk is starting
to structure itself in my head, and ima call it bayesian.
phf: goes back
to
that
thread about fucking and math
mircea_popescu: funkenstein_ need any further proof your "bayesian" approach is not a sort of
thinking ? :D
funkenstein_: i was under
the impression y'all had never been out of doors let alone camping
phf: i like
to have fire when camping, i spent formative years with su engineers doing ural hikes so as long as
there's fire something can be cooked, where's grill has its own rules of engagement
thestringpuller: phf: OMG. hit
the nail on
the head.
those are some of
the interesting camps
tho
mircea_popescu: i was
thinking more along
the lines of "doesn't know how
to wash in a single gallon of water and probably won't even bother splashing it around uselessly unless it's preheated"
phf: can usually spot an eastern european or an american nature freak by how orderly
their setup is. "this is where i cook my morning egg, just like i've been doing for
the past 30 years"
mircea_popescu: i somehow doubt anyone
taught
them kids how
to stay within humanity while camping.
phf: more kazantip,
then afrikaburn
phf: i'm saying it's decidedly not burns, but event planner organized concerts,
that have burn like activities also planned. morning yoga, games, camps all done by professionals. but "like you stay in a
tent, and it's like nature" hence roughing it
