phf: in any case it wasn'
t portland, i picked it up at a random bookstore in french quarter new orleans. between a tourist bar and a place that sold "vintage stuff" they had a bookstore with an amazing collection of random books
phf: this is roughly how the argument went in the connection machine book, but of course they didn'
t have access to large enough rams to make it shared
☟︎ phf: afaik greenarrays don'
t have shared state and talk through neighbors, connection machine style. i was thinking, like mp said, just have them sit on shared memory
mircea_popescu: da fuck anyone knows what goes on through the bright heads that can'

phf: i suspect those guys wear shoes that don'

☟︎ mircea_popescu: and ALSO exactly homomorphic to why i said division doesn'
t belong in there.
Framedragger: heheheh. some kind of insecurity of "no don'
t leave our site, look we collected your shit for you!"
mircea_popescu: anyway, facebook apparently also does this "we'll archive by default ANYTHING linked from our pages and serve it from our own servers. this way we don'
t leak ips etc, and so nobody will ever figure out just how few users we have."
mircea_popescu: they got a problem don'
t they ? missing out on most of the shannonized / markov chained "content" production these days
mircea_popescu: in other news, google search can'
t actually see inside facebook can it.
trinque: isn'
t that what nationalists do? tear up treaties?
mircea_popescu: heh. treaties aren'
t binding more than you know, greek debt is
Framedragger: don'

mircea_popescu: aha, but enemy hasn'

trinque: though you may want to use the sexp. I wrote deedbot such that it doesn'

a111: Logged on 2016-06-23 17:36 asciilifeform: the peter todd turd is a true classic of its genre: 'we gotta commit an atrocity. but we first will get CONSENSOOOS!!1111 so then it won'
t be an atrocity, fuckyou. and btw we control the vertical and the horizontal and all the votez, so fuckyou.x2'
mircea_popescu: there's ~one ethereum trader and ~one ethereum miner, in the sense there's ~one person in any set of clothes. some mites etc also there, but they generally "don'
t count".
a111: Logged on 2016-06-23 16:32 trinque: G4S has previously been accused of improperly vetting its employees. In 2009, Danny Fitzsimons, a former British paratrooper and employee of a G4S subsidiary, killed two colleagues in Iraq, claiming to be “the antichrist” and saying he “must satisfy” his “bloodlust.” << wouldn'
t blow my mind that $lizardhitler has a drug that induces this
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's mostly "cloud" bullshit anyway, so don'
t regard any of this as peculiarly reliable info.
mircea_popescu: "yes, under arbitrary restrains you propose on random particular avenue, things can'
t be done" tm.
mircea_popescu: they can do whatever they want. 51% means they don'
t get to have an opinion.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-23#1488111 << the guy's defense, notably, "yes it's collecting butterflies - there's nothing wrong with that" is actually tendentious. it's NOT collecting butterflies. yes, it COULD BE, but i don'
t see any of that happening. just a bunch of "we have butterflies in this black box, come hear about our weight loss ideas" typically ustarded marketing and "engineering"
☝︎ phf: cmucl doesn'
t have threads not because it's a baby system. it doesn'
t have threads because sbcl both made adding functionality of that nature easier and canibalized developers from cmucl
phf: i once managed to follow rainer joswig's instructions to bring cl-

mircea_popescu: if they do or if they don'

mircea_popescu: i can'

mircea_popescu: i don'

a111: Logged on 2016-05-05 13:03 asciilifeform: the thermodynamic 'taboo against the coincidence' is described in, oddly enough, winnie pooh! '"Well," said Pooh, "what I like best," and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn'

mircea_popescu: girl explained this to me as to the amorous life of teenagers. they don'
t want sex as much, she said, with its icky dirty scary reality, as they want the possibility of having it, which is endorphin ladden goodness.
diana_coman: asciilifeform, I don'
t think so; it's from being a chump maybe?
a111: Logged on 2016-06-23 14:28 Framedragger: there was a post about statistical/ML approach vs. (one of) rule-based approach(es) just recently, i haven'

mircea_popescu: diana_coman certainly not a cake. but it also has this passive "don'
t touch the instruments" educative value. womenz particularly vulnerable to this crap.
mircea_popescu: but to the more general point, Framedragger : the master's job is mostly to encourage and support the young woman TO ACTUALLY MAKE CHOICES. which is to say, exactly to distance herself from learned helplessness of the nature of diana_coman 's above mentioned " don'
t change anything or it might all fall down"
mircea_popescu: well... at least at first. that doesn'
t go so well so throws fit internally.
mircea_popescu: but while i don'
t for a second suspect you of gender politics, nevertheless, there you go, you did it to them. what now.
diana_coman: that thing when it *works* as in...now, this particular thing, don'
t change anything or it might all fall down
mircea_popescu: here's the problemn with this : at first, girl "just doesn'tr have" information on how to bake pastries. then she gets beaten (rarely), corrected (often, but in specific punctual detail) and made to work. then, magically, and i can'
t underscore this enough, MAGICALLY, she now HAS!!! the information.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-23 14:26 mircea_popescu: now, it is real easy to grant that "machine can'
t resolve because irl it takes more neurons than there's atoms in the cpu". but this is a total cop-out, i can string together an infinity of computers, as bitcoin has shown.
mircea_popescu: otherwise, i can'
t imagine who'd ever have wanted men for any purpose.
diana_coman: it's actually part of why I quickly became disenchanted with the whole AI school (well, all of them really): I don'
t get why the focus on *always right* when no living intelligence (which is supposedly the model in any case) is *always* right
a111: Logged on 2016-06-22 04:02 mircea_popescu: yeah. but that doesn'
t change the fact the ~only intellectual in the entire north of the continent is that old jew talking to himself in a room.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform my slavegirls aren'
t tools, they're people. why should my computers be tools ? i've only two hands.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "can'
t possibly mean" is totally a thing.
mircea_popescu: because the major trick here is - what i say isn'
t ACTUALLY ambiguous. it just requires very fine interpretation, which meshes well with a machine. in any case meshes well with the epistemic process that makes people engineers,
