adlai: (found
thru combing logs, forums, etc)
adlai: so when push comes
to shove, meni's conviction is... idiocy?
punkman: asciilifeform: guy wanted
to make an arm gadget, people showed up, said "shut up and kickstart our monies".
the
textbook case of delusionism is
that Purism
thing.
adlai: no offense, but despite all your babblings about how your sorceror's apprentice must speak russian,
the moment when i realized i've got
to learn russian only came after finishing
that book
assbot: You rated user asciilifeform on 21-Sep-2015, with a rating of 1, and supplied
these additional notes: pукописи не горят.
adlai: phun phact...
that song was supposedly inspired by mick jagger's girlfriend handing him her well-worn copy of
adlai: dunno, same ol same ol. best of
times, worst of
times, etc.
assbot: Logged on 30-10-2015 00:06:01; asciilifeform: whole
thing is an elaborate exercise in delusionism
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Can't even make
this shit up

ticker. Default market is Bitfinex. If one of
the result options is given, returns only
that numeric result (useful for nesting in calculations). If '--currency XXX' option is given, returns

BingoBoingo: "A report of a one-car accident led
to charges alleging credit card fraud against
two African men,
the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office said
Thursday."
vulpes_a_hopital: ;;later
tell phf yeah, yeah. mostly just bitching about shithub.
assbot: Logged on 30-10-2015 02:14:01; *: asciilifeform used
to have some respect for huang BEFORE
the whole novena
thing
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Caterpillar, now
THAT is a struggling Us company.
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron:
The Roosh guy on Dr. Oz. Completely unprepared for
the experience, ended up
the subject of
the Oprah network'd 5 minutes of hate
that day.
mircea_popescu: Loesser checked it. "Well, now,
that's amazing. Multiplication didn't impress me
too much because it involved integers after all, and I
thought
trick manipulation might do it. But decimals -"
mircea_popescu: this is exactly
the problem of slavery, and how beatings get
to be a part of it.
mircea_popescu: not because of anything, but because you know
too much of
the wrong sorts of
things.
mircea_popescu: "Because-" Aub looked helplessly at his superior for support. "It's difficult
to explain."
mircea_popescu: it is universally cheaper
to make a new chip
than
to describe an extant one from scratch.
assbot: Logged on 29-10-2015 20:22:01; mircea_popescu: all
the derps
that
this'd be interesting
to are essentially on
the same side of
the same market : wanna make money (sex) out of
their "skillz" (having a cunt)
mircea_popescu: "an end
to opression" aka "you're not even worth beating up"
mircea_popescu: blaming a college / all colleges / anyone for
this is rank nonsense.
mircea_popescu: now
there's plenty of mobility but no upwards, and plenty of inequality but no understanding
thereof.
mircea_popescu: ie, no upwards mobility and a solid understanding of
the value and importance of inequality.
mircea_popescu: yes at some point going
to college was useful.
this BECAUSE at
that
time people lived in a society
that allowed for it
mircea_popescu: so...
the expectation
that
there'd be understanding happening in school is not unlike
the expectation
that
there'd be salvation happening at
the brothel.
mircea_popescu: on
the other hand, stuff
that isn't math, such as whatever, "ecology" don't even HAVE concepts, at all
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in fairness, math is an AWFUL example for
this matter. because, well, in honesty a "simple" notion such as
the notion of a number is still patently ununderstood by
the species altogether. and for
that matter minimal effort
to even comprehend it starts with what, frege ? a coupla centuries ago ?
assbot: Logged on 29-10-2015 20:50:56; mircea_popescu: and so
therefore, going from a
to b actually increases
the market value of item.
through a process known as "creating a market".
assbot: Logged on 29-10-2015 09:32:26; mircea_popescu: calling a computer "a box" is perhaps
the most
telling of all freudian seepage ever.
assbot: Logged on 29-10-2015 08:32:51; mircea_popescu:
this is, incidentally, a fundamental point
to be considered for
those inclined
to interact with
the scum (aka, non-qntra reporters), a point which
that seduction expert (i don't recall which one but was in
the logs - something about how he went on a "live" show where
the 5 dollar audience bood him on cue) : you do want
to control
their codes. because you must project your own ownership of reality, an
assbot: Logged on 30-10-2015 01:23:25; phf: i was at bunnie's
talk (the guy behind novena) at 2005
toorcon,
the subject was hardware r.e. and it covered
the end
to end process of discovering and extracting something like intel's rootkit from
the die.
the approach is
to remove
the outer plastic cover from
the chip using some form of etching, image
the exposed circuit with increasily higher resolution devices culminating with electron microscope and

tell schmidty please fix your connection so you don't do a lot of join/part
mircea_popescu: "I'm
told
that
the system of
the day is "Everyday Math." I have no idea what
that is, but my worry is
that every system of
teaching is designed not
to maximize learning, but
to facilitate
the
teaching."
mircea_popescu: "and what
that means, and so everyone
thinks he's progressing just fine; only
to reach a later point when his clever shortcut is
too primitive
to work. Now suddenly you have a 6th grader who appears
to falling behind. But he was never really caught up. I suspect
that
this almost entirely explains Americans' universal hatred of word problems."
phf: i
think back
then he was still at MIT so had access
to useful hardware and free
time, he'd probably reversing intel die for
the lulz, but now he's in Singapore with presumably reduced resources, doing "open" hardware.
