asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the theory was, iirc, 'audience won't notice because mask'
assbot: Logged on 25-10-2015 21:51:05; mircea_popescu: he had a "business" to make 8kb or larger rsa keys for "Cusomers"
BingoBoingo: Well, they way they've handled it in the past is they just change actors and STFU. In the past 12 years the Hulk was Eric Bana, then it was Edward Norton, the Mark something or other. Cattle doesn't care.
assbot: Logged on 25-10-2015 22:26:01; mircea_popescu: (and, note, colber's power has EXACTLY NOTHING to do with "TV" in the sense of "system". the franchises use actors in masks now, because they want to keep the copyrights, it's their "Character"| and why should an actor get to own the face of their character. but colbert is not that. so, no, it's not the system.)
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-10-2015#1308259 << pet sayeth: 'how does mircea_popescu square his masked-superhero-for-fungibility theory with the fact that the actors appear maskless for long stretches of any one of these films ?' ☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: l0l re: the prolactin
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: didja drop tlp an email then ?
assbot: Logged on 24-10-2015 19:40:09; mircea_popescu: in other news, intel finally teased out tlp's email. if anyone cares, he's 52. etc.
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-10-2015#1307034 << sounds about right for a man this comfortable with his alcoholism and at the age where he'd have the perspective to recognise it as such ☝︎
pete_dushenski: Ohio Thank you very much for your help"
pete_dushenski: and then there's the plain bizarre comments such as "Am the happiest woman on earth,, my husband just called me this mornings after divorcing for another woman going to 6Months with the help of this man i met on this site please help me to thank him and the author of this site his name is Dr Aida Wedo His phone number is +2348115436578 his email is africanvoodoorituals@gmail.com my name is William Sarah am from
mircea_popescu: turns out fanapt has 5ht7 activity, afaik tlp is right : unique to this drug
pete_dushenski: ballas isn't even fiesty nor viligent enough to block spam from coming through. "hermes bags! cheap jeans!" abound.
mircea_popescu: for the random pile of asciilifeform's aftermarket shocks : http://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2010/09/fanapt_deconstructing_a_promot.html
mircea_popescu: i confess i almost never read the comments.
pete_dushenski: based on comments on tlp.com ?
pete_dushenski: would prolly read comments and say "yup, point taken
pete_dushenski: you think it'd be that different ? he doesn't seem like much of a boxer
pete_dushenski: too true
mircea_popescu: imagine how the past two weeks would have looked like if ballas was actually up there in the wot.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski unlike in the case of tlp, i'm also here to scream back.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: going through tlp that methodically and chronologically is sure to yield an interesting unfolding of intellectual development. it'd be pretty well impossible to do with with trilema unless one also spoke ro, but even just the last three years of reading would be a hell of a journey/mindtrip
mircea_popescu: this incident aside, the cultural production of b-a/b,tmsr~/the cult/however you wish to call it is both scary and exploding on an exponential. i dunno how we'll cope.
mircea_popescu: i do however hold all these as conversation openers, if anyone ever feels like delving into one of the articles etc i'll be happy to hear the conversations. truth is digesting tlp will take more than just this.
mircea_popescu: for that matter - im almost done with 2010, there's only ~4 years left, i should hope im done this month.
pete_dushenski: not that i'm looking for it to end, mind oyu
mircea_popescu: jurov ikr ? i've been spamming the shit out of tlp, but the truth is it's a much more convenient format than trying to make all thgese half and quarter articles into trilema items.
pete_dushenski: i spent the who weekend speaking french so i'm still thinking in it lol
jurov: plus #eulora. plus btc-dev mailing list. plus tlp. plus....
pete_dushenski: j'espere que vous avez tous passez une belle fin de semaine
pete_dushenski: i see that there's a modest pile of logs and quite a bit more trilema to catch up on.
mircea_popescu: that's why chris rock / chapelle were so important. they didn't make it tho.
mircea_popescu: and so you know, there's a b lister that's kinda half-black or whatever, from kenya. nobody cares. get all agitated when carson v2.0 turns out to be black.
mircea_popescu: "From this very clear description of the problem comes the most terrible solution imaginable: let's go back to the authoritarian approach." << exactly. there is a reason the schelling points of failing socialism are always PERSONS. you don't like colbert, pick another Dear Leader. what you can not do is go all "country of laws not men", that's dead.
mircea_popescu: (and, note, colber's power has EXACTLY NOTHING to do with "TV" in the sense of "system". the franchises use actors in masks now, because they want to keep the copyrights, it's their "Character"| and why should an actor get to own the face of their character. but colbert is not that. so, no, it's not the system.) ☟︎
mircea_popescu: but what difference does it make what a senator [says he] thinks ?
mircea_popescu: "I think his testimony was not appropriate,"
mircea_popescu: butthurt the hell out of the "system", too.
mircea_popescu: the fact that i get a seat at the table and you have to wait for the reporters to invite you in, that's the criteria.
mircea_popescu: and he told them exactly what you'd expect : my magic is more powerful than your magic, notwithstanding that your magic contains a statement of its own all-powerfullness and my magic doies not. this is not the criteria.
mircea_popescu: the tv personality went there AS A TV PERSONALITY, to confront the other tv personalities. because that's what everyone in congress is : a b lister, of dubious talent, coming not from central casting but from ballot casting.
assbot: The Last Psychiatrist: The Legend Of Steven Colbert ... ( http://bit.ly/1LPQvbZ )
mircea_popescu: http://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2010/09/the_legend_of_steven_colbert.html << incidentally, this colbert incident should be studied - STUDIED, like i studied fucking seinfeld - by anyone aspiring to any sort of political (as opposed to technical) involvement in bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: what doesn't work is you derping about how things shiould be. never has. never will.
mircea_popescu: capitalims got you from where your president couldn't afford to pay the bill to stay in a hotel in Europe, so he had to stay in the stable section of a cheap inn, to where you could derp about how things should be. it works.
mircea_popescu: "hey, i didn't lose any weight on that mcdonalds diet - because corporations are evil ; nor when i went to that magical fairy wicca woman, because she was a scammer. but it didn't even work while i was PRETENDING to be working out while watching chicks work out on tv! clearly dieting doesn' work! certainly being fat is the natural state of stupid people!"
mircea_popescu: there's a reason socialism is the ideology of the stupid, and it's this sorta fatlogic
mircea_popescu: now they move on to pretending like the failure of the third attempt as socialism was really called for no reason "capitalism" and lo and behold, socialism failing EVEN WHEN IT MASQUERADES AS CAPITALISM proves ~capitalism~ doesn't work.
mircea_popescu: gotta hand it to the socialist mind. after having spent 50 years explaining how the predictable, obvious and necessary failures of both socialist systems seen to date "aren't really failures of socialism - because the nazis were evil and stalin was wrong),
mircea_popescu: "The global capitalist system is approaching an apocalyptic zero point... comprised by an ecological crisis, the consequences of a biogenetic revolution, imbalances within the system itself, and the explosive growth of social divisions and exclusions."
mircea_popescu: rs. And our sales for those first few hours on the first of the month are substantially and significantly higher."
mircea_popescu: "And you need not go further than one of our stores on midnight at the end of the month. And it's real interesting to watch, about 11 p.m., customers start to come in and shop, fill their grocery basket with basic items, baby formula, milk, bread, eggs,and continue to shop and mill about the store until midnight, when electronic -- government electronic benefits cards get activated and then the checkout starts and occu
mircea_popescu: he had a "business" to make 8kb or larger rsa keys for "Cusomers" ☟︎
mod6: <+trinque> As of now, she said she's sold "around 30" in total, including in-person sales. << Thanks, grandma! << haha
assbot: Logged on 28-05-2013 04:34:42; usagi: Everything TU.SILVER does is better than any other similar business in the community, and I guarantee it will be that way forever, because, I have my legacy to consider
trinque: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-05-2013#58527 << this thing? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: anyone recall that idiot's business idea ?
mircea_popescu: younger than usagi
trinque: As of now, she said she's sold "around 30" in total, including in-person sales. << Thanks, grandma!
jurov: now that's business
assbot: This 11-year-old is selling cryptographically secure passwords for $2 each | Ars Technica ... ( http://bit.ly/1Xse2r3 )
mircea_popescu: CFNM, right there on ESPN.
mircea_popescu: Women didn't earn this over the resistance of an old boy network; the media conglomerates decided it would be awesome to televise a hyperfemale in a locker room with a nearly naked hypermale and pretend there's no sexuality implied. So anything that goes wrong is between individuals, nothing to do with the Machine.
mircea_popescu: Note the power set up. All you fools think that female reporters are in the locker rooms because it is some sort of measure of equality, "why should the males get the best interviews?" that this is somehow a success for equality, something that women had to struggle to earn, and you think that because you were told that.
mircea_popescu: It may be unfair, but it is the most important fact of human existence: people exist independently of you."
mircea_popescu: "What you want is to be able to behave sexy, or rude, or ridiculous, or offensive-- and still demand to be seen the way you want to be seen.
mircea_popescu: http://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2010/09/hot_sports_reporter_ines_sainz.html << daily tlp win.
mircea_popescu: for bonus points : shoots all possible intel "optimization" in the head
asciilifeform bbl, off to do some maths
mircea_popescu: oh! that it was!
asciilifeform: i suppose even this gets 'meta'-d
asciilifeform: (perhaps tlp could ascertain exactly why)
mircea_popescu: didn't you get banned for spamming something or the other
mircea_popescu: forget about that.
mircea_popescu: i can already picture the reaction "folks" will have to anything, from you going naked in the street to you making chirality engine.
mircea_popescu: fuck them
asciilifeform: i can already picture the reaction folks will have to my sha512 that takes 10,001 times longer than the customary one
asciilifeform: anyway it is inevitable that there will be multiple generations of this. it is a very thick mental cock that folks will have to slowly and methodically dilate for before it can fully park.
asciilifeform: my understanding was that mircea_popescu is asking for a virtual version of something that could later be siliconized.
mircea_popescu: which is then WELL emulated on binary box.
mircea_popescu: ideally that the algos are written for a ternary box
asciilifeform: simply that we're encoding constants as ternaries ?
asciilifeform: then in what sense is the result 'emulated ternary box' ?
mircea_popescu: what sort of job reversal is this!
asciilifeform: because this is no longer emulating an ideal ternary box
mircea_popescu: stop telling me "can't" you'll get yourself fired
mircea_popescu: but this logic is better!
mircea_popescu: i can see the logic, yes
asciilifeform admits that he was very tempted to do precisely this. but went in for 'absolute minimum of moving parts' for the current experimental item, for reasons which are not difficult to understand
mircea_popescu: find a way to do it in ternary you won a major engagement.
mircea_popescu: the damage is immense - imagine, now they gotta learn ternary to even approach this!
mircea_popescu: IF we are ever going to do this, THIS is the place to test it.
asciilifeform: and what this costs.
mircea_popescu: leaving aside the technical talk, understand the high level strategic considerations.
mircea_popescu: if i put two registers together, have i now made a trinary register ?
asciilifeform: given that i presently lack a fab
mircea_popescu: i understand that. why is this machine of mine binary!
mircea_popescu: why is this a binary machine ?
mircea_popescu: does trinary suck ?
asciilifeform: and they are made of what?
