phf: but since you can't do
that in
the format of american higher education, we're stuck with dog and cow bullshit
phf: you can attempt
to
teach oop
that reflects
the real world, but
then you should be
talking in
terms of communicating agents, and
that will lead you
to
the chinese room, at which point you'd be amiss not drop some acid.
ben_vulpes: teaching OOP with models
that "reflect
the real world" instead of
the programming environment is bad pedagogy and does a massive disservice
to anyone who endures it.
phf: alan kay's, sonya keene's, etc. examples are window systems and
thread locks, where's every single shitty intro
to objects book uses
the utterly meaningless "dog and cow are subclasses of animal".
phf: just because you can do it, doesn't give it meaning. in fact
that sort of attempts at ontology result in a lot of bad code. (not
to mention
that
they are doomed
to failure, e.g. semantic web)
BingoBoingo: Gotta remember ISIS is also a group of
teenage boys

BingoBoingo: Patton also loved playing with dolls when he grew up and kept wearing dresses long after
the neighbor kids stopped
mircea_popescu: shooter,
the fastest runner, big league ball players,
the
toughest boxers. Americans love a winner and will not
tolerate a loser. Americans play
to win all
the
time. I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed.
That's why Americans have never lost and never will lose a war, because
the very
thought of losing is hateful
to Americans."
mircea_popescu: "...Now I want you
to remember
that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making
the other poor dumb bastard die for his country. Men, all
this stuff you've heard about America not wanting
to fight - wanting
to stay out of
the war, is a lot of horse dung. Americans
traditionally love
to fight. All real Americans love
the sting of battle. When you were kids, you all admired
the champion marble
BingoBoingo: WTF UK press recongugal words,
the WWE event with
the "terror
threat" is survivor series not survival series
mircea_popescu: not
that
this is a bad approximation in any sense. but, contiguity is
too juicy
to have.
mircea_popescu: it is altogether dubious
that brownian motion is a stochastic process.
kakobrekla: mircea_popescu got a
torrent for

BingoBoingo: Isn't
that what GPRS stands for "Gland Packet Radio System" you know
that system used for spreading HIV
linton_s_dawson: so disconnection from
the outer world doesn't seem feasible unless i'm on another planet
adlai: if
there's an "outer world", you may have violated "where it has nothing
to do with fiat"?
mircea_popescu: or else your 5 apples delusion is crushed by
the outer world supply.
mircea_popescu: either
the "1000 apples" of outer world fiction is crushed by your demand,
linton_s_dawson: indeed.
the community must consist of "true believers" as well, i guess, since external factors can easily screw
things up. like, if 1 btc buys 5 apples in my community but 1000 apples in
the outer world.
mircea_popescu: this question is a lot less
theoretical
than it seems, seeing how eulora.
mircea_popescu: in general
the supply side is going
to be "as many btc as
that community can get hands on" and
the demand side will be "all
the goods and services it wants
to
trade".
mircea_popescu: this is a question
to be answered by
that community neh ?
linton_s_dawson: mircea_popescu: i've seen your argument regarding
the "true" value of a bitcoin where it has nothing
to do with fiat. do you have a way
to determine it? say, i start a community and we agree
to use bitcoin as a currency. how many apples would one bitcoin (bit, satoshi, etc.) buy?
BingoBoingo: <kakobrekla> or was it zeus? << Brodin,
the All Spotter
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron well

the chain of knowledge of valid and invalid
assbot: Logged on 21-11-2015 17:43:09; mircea_popescu: now you're presuming
there exists a heavenly Births & Deaths register
adlai: so all retards are retarded in His image, but some retards are 'more equal
than others'?
assbot: Logged on 21-11-2015 17:33:32; mircea_popescu: well yes,
the problem with
the magical
thinking of retards is
that
they assume
there's a divinity somehwere in whose image
they were made.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> hilariously, because
they handed out a diploma-shaped object at
the ceremony, but it was actually some spam << SOP
mircea_popescu: couldn't be arsed
to send a lawyer after it -
to put it with
the
tax papers.
mircea_popescu: went once, was a queue,
took a girl for coffee and welll...
there it waits, no doubt.
assbot: Logged on 21-11-2015 19:44:22; mircea_popescu: really, "less
than college education" ? having a us college diploma is like having a mental disability certificate. it just means you're at best useless but in principle dumb.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway, /me enjoyed
the spin. really,
the gop "may
take out"
trump ?
the gop can't as much as
take out
the garbage.
mircea_popescu: hey, maybe
they feel like strangers "in
their own country" because it ain't
their own fucking country, and yes
they are strangers.
mircea_popescu: (incidentally, when rage of mages hit
the market in
the 90s, what
the educated ro kids were saying was omfg, bilibin lives!)
mircea_popescu: he stops passerby, more or less with hands and props
they manage
to understand each other. passerby looks around, identifies a
tree, points
to it.
mircea_popescu: proper & civilised soviet citizen walking on street in romanian capital, suddenly needs
to pee.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform btw ever
told you
the joke of
the muscovite
trying
to
take a shit in bucharest ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: d collected in
the navel,
there is a disturbing episode."
mircea_popescu: "Go
to Japan when he is
transmitted (the mid-5th century),
the board is
there
to make a box.
The Remains of

the center had been opened for
the sound effects. Blood reservoir (No Chi) Name of

funkenstein_: i guess
their socialization is superior in
the sense adlai implied: more evolved
mircea_popescu: what you call it ain't
the lynchpin of
this here lynch mob.
mircea_popescu: "Regardless of whether you waive
the fine or not, and despite conditional
terms added
to reassert authority" being
the point of interest.
mircea_popescu: but in point of fact,
the whole distance is
this :
that you want
the word unary and all
the items equal. whereas
the world is not even coherent
funkenstein_: actually in
this case I was complimenting a far more entrenched class system
mircea_popescu: this is what derpy libertards call, for
the short distance
their congenital apnea allows
them
to run it, "critiquing
the entrenched patriarchy"
mircea_popescu: except, as far as
the ants are concerned,
there wouldn't be.
mircea_popescu: admire : you want
that
to be
there so
that you and ants are made by
the same god so
therefore, and i underscore,
therefore, if
the ants were owners of
the world
there still were a place in
the world for you.
mircea_popescu: specifically because it was not vague at all, but both specific and a fundamental requisite of
the
thinking in question.
funkenstein_: lets make a metric
then: differentiation in societal roles
funkenstein_: yeah
that was pretty vague sorry.. I guess more established social behaviors..
mircea_popescu: tell me funkenstein_ what do you have "socialization" mean in
there ?
mircea_popescu: actually upon rereading
that spoken poem, i notice a hole
the light might perhaps be brought in!
adlai: the friend who made 'my' (his) goban says
they're pretty much impossible
to buy locally
adlai doesn't have one of
these
