tell you about
this,
there's a very fucking fundamental problem here. you don't get
to control backflow and complex emergent behaviours just because you don't want
to
think about
them

mircea_popescu: adlai back in 2013 or w/e
they were hoping for interpol /
tsa / ama. it... fizzled
adlai: what's
the relevance of
this BCT link?
mircea_popescu: yeah but on
the other hand
the only place i was ever actually bombed in was jerusalem.
adlai: one of
the nice
things about living in a hellhole with discernible "bad guys" is
that swatting just doesn't exist
☟︎ adlai: i guess 'local police' in
the average american locallity includes enough armored vehicles
to get mistaken for authority
adlai: whatever happened
to interpol?
TSA? AMA?
mircea_popescu: i guess if you
took a vote among
the domesticated ducks,
they'd agree wild ducks must either be all shot or else a ceiling put over
the village.
☟︎ mircea_popescu:
https://archive.is/CNsNN << pretty lulzy
thinking
tho. "how dares
this mp guy act independently!
this should not exist! i will call upon my liege lords
to efface
this abomination from
the face of
the earth - if not in reality
then at least from
the earth as i can see it. for it bothers me so."
assbot: Logged on 11-12-2015 06:11:19; ben_vulpes: "I will personally come out
to SF and make
this all public and have a showdown" << aha do what now i'm sorry i ohohohahaha
mircea_popescu: derps accusing me of "seeking attention", when i own
their mother, in a fucking
trasnparent ploy
to seek attention. herpitty-derp.
shinohai: I'm going
to make a snarky remark.
mircea_popescu: which makes me suspect it'll be "raising awareness" on his dozen-followers
twitter.
mircea_popescu: conveniently omits
to mention WHAT
the fuck he'll contribute
mircea_popescu: to comprehend how fundamental
this all is, look at a leaky
toilet sometime, or any flow on an incline. you should be able
to observe regions moving UPSTREAM. "oh it's not supposed
to do
that" "said who ?" "newton".

☟︎ mircea_popescu: "why did function flush return flood ???" "uh... it's not supposed

☟︎ mircea_popescu: the practical implementation promises from experience
to create
the undebuggable situation where
the dumb blonde in 7a flushed her diafragm and now
the results of your flushing will be a bathroom flood.
mircea_popescu: this example happens
to get at
the core of my misgivings about
the model (which yes, is as seductive and great and promise-y as ben intuits, sure) : while
the
theoretical machine may have all
the nice properties,
adlai: if everybody flushes
their
toilets at once,
the
tide goes out. you can't explain
that.
assbot: Logged on 11-12-2015 03:49:06; asciilifeform: sorta how you can flush your own
toilet, and
the outcome does not depend on
the result of me flushing mine
punkman: "I don't know MP. Can't inform. But I agree. Anything

thinks order can be imposed upon bidirectional polycyclic graphs
adlai: turns voting for block size increases into betting
that miners do full validation
adlai: a properly done segwit softfork could actually result in a blocksize decrease for
the non-segwit blockchain
☟︎ BingoBoingo: "Not any more. It seems
the manufacturer, as a result of its actions, has decided
to effectively kill
the use of
their drug. At $35 a dose, nobody is going
to use it in
the ED and hospital pharmacy committees are going
to sharply restrict
the use of
the IV version of
the drug
to
the point of extinction. As well
they should." << Note economics is only possible when
there are alternatived like dilaudid.
BingoBoingo: Every physician burned by Obamacare can keep warfarin for
their self pays and pradaxa for medicaid.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: "The U.S. price for
the recommended 5 g dose of idarucizumab is $3500.
This figure does not include
the hospital charge
to
the patient" <<
This is how Obamacare really dies, because 5 grams of a monoclonal isn't selling for $3500 very long after approval.
BingoBoingo: "Patients are
to be
treated with 5 g of intravenous idarucizumab, which should be administered as
two 50-ml bolus infusions, each containing 2.5 g of idarucizumab, no more
than 15 minutes apart" << Damn. Whole entire fucking GRAMS of monoclonal antibody.
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: You mean people who don't really watch
tv on
tc
pete_dushenski: but i guess
that's what cbs gets for
trying
to appeal
to redditards and gen xers.
pete_dushenski: hey colbert, go back
to being a metatard or something.
pete_dushenski: ^it must suck
to be a fake person who now has
to pretend
to be a real person.
pete_dushenski: is likely doing a double-take: During
the week of November 23-27,
the 11:35 PM Late Show on CBS was beaten by Seth Meyers, who happens
to be on one hour later (12:35 PM) on
the Peacock."
pete_dushenski: "just
three months after so much hype and so much love went into Mr. Colbert’s debut as
the new host of Late Night,
the former Comedy Central star has somehow fallen into 4th place where it matters most. In
the all-important demo, he’s now being doubled up (and
then some) by NBC’s Jimmy Fallon (outscored by 137 percent) and hasn’t beaten ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel in over a month. But here’s where CBS brass
BingoBoingo: I can assure you
that IL 127 while covering substantial distance does not.
BingoBoingo: Well I'm prolly repainting
the plastic wheel covers black
this spring as a solution
to
the dilema of "just roll steelies" or find a set of used aluminium rims.
pete_dushenski: of course you do, in
the same way
that most dudes care about 18 yo filles, and couldn't care less about 26 yo ones.
pete_dushenski: well, steel's pretty
tough. and no one in
their right mind gives a shit about 25-year-old paint.
BingoBoingo: But what happens when shopping carts and scooty puffs hit
the side of
the merc? Plastic body panels ftw
pete_dushenski: what's more environmentally friendly
than a car
that's in
the shop one day in 10 ?
think of all
the walking and bicycling !
BingoBoingo: Turns out instead of
throwing away $60k on a
Tesla
the actual envrionmentally friendly
thing
to do is spend $3k on a Saturn L-series in servicable condition
pete_dushenski: hey joopublican, where's your fucking head ? blending it and singing koombaya ain't gonna cut it.
time
to find a scapegoat
that isn't you, neh ?
pete_dushenski: '“They are very weary of somebody repeating
the same kind of rhetoric but just changing
the name of
the religion.” "
pete_dushenski: "“The Jewish community, collectively, has
that institutional memory, and institutional scars from previous events in history where a group based solely on religion was persecuted,” said Lee Cowen, a Republican strategist, adding
that
Trump was damaging
the party."
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Well, if
that's a fraud you can drop
the standard down
to "ebay sefer"
BingoBoingo: I
though you were both a man of
the
tribe and of style.
BingoBoingo: What, you aren't going
to commision a sefer contravex?
pete_dushenski: don't
think so.
the digital arena changes some aspects of conflict, but not death.
there's no avoiding physical death.
pete_dushenski: wtf kind of war doesn't have
the losers hung up for
their crimes ? what is
this, counter strike ? "oh, i'll just respawn and no big deal!" ??
pete_dushenski: this isn't backyard cowboys and indians. your mom isn't calling you for dinner only for you
to call back "just 5 more minutes mom! i have
to catch
this redskin!"
pete_dushenski: the only reason
that ex-kgb dudes a la putin and aliyev rule
the roost
today is because, after socialism "surprisingly" fell,
they both a) had a strong wot, and b) were willing
to kill when
the
time came.
