thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: Some chick ranting on Steemit.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: "The beta-males also wish to be alpha, but for whatever reason they are realistically incapable of it, so they must accept the role of trying to impregnate a female when she is fertile by keeping her away from an alpha-male." interesting perspective. ☟︎
shinohai: iit already has this mircea_popescu
asciilifeform: i dun even recall a debate. there was gabriel_laddel proposing to build hybrid of bulldog and rhino, 'lisp machine with linux', a mengelian atrocity with no future, because a foundation cannot be corrected any more than one can un-drop a baby.
phf: it's like you're now on the other side in the gabriel_laddel mcclim debate
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu, as often happens, had correct idea, but was not aware of the sheer rot of the available building blocks.
asciilifeform: (and i will point out that i started on my concept long before mircea_popescu wrote it.) ☟︎
felipelalli: mircea_popescu: znc running in a fucking rubish vps. any problem please swear at me again.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> if mircea_popescu had written that rodgier ought to have ~been buggered~, or enslaved by arabs, or similar, i would have no dispute. but it is just as fantastic to posit schmuck going into pederasty willingly, as to picture him growing taller by effort of will << He probably would enthusiastically have embraced getting buggered if he was a level 70 chocolate elfhole while recieving buggery
phf: mircea_popescu: i misplaced my eulora account, can i get a password reset?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: interesting! what became of apprentice ?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i got a puzzler:
phf: mircea_popescu: oof, there aren't any. i've not updated the build scripts for the new version and it's not a "some pointers" kind of process

a111: Logged on 2014-10-30 23:55 mircea_popescu: undata: if only there were some way to organize the efforts of a large number of people around projects <<< there is. you're watching it. just because leadership is not in your face doesn't necessarily mean leadership is absent and it's your time to shine. it may also mean leadership is extremely good at what it does.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-26 01:15 mircea_popescu: back in the days trinque was called undata i made the point to him that merely because management is not apparent is a sign that management is extremely competent ; not an invitation to try and scare up some "management stone soup".
mircea_popescu: aaaand in other news, http://67.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2bff28RN51rt8hgno1_500.gif
adlai waves goodnight to mircea_popescu

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: gossipd
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> o hai << hey! also had some lulz reading part III of Rodger on the train.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu jailbroke adlai or wat.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu described this algo for reddit, easily applicable here.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'Unless, of course, the text is the product of an unrelated adult, whose involvement with the whole thing is not emotional nor personal, and who therefore simply forgot about that detail.' << sorta like the fire-proof, bomb-proof, smudge-proof passports invariably found on corpse of every 'dead terrorist' in usa.
phf: i'm glad TONY MEREVICK pictured here https://assets3.thrillist.com/v1/image/1757937/size/tl-author_web.jpg has an opinion about the shape of £25m flying machine
asciilifeform pictures first day of mircea_popescu's lecture. n00bz walk in, find small road cone on each chair. 'no, gentlemen, these are glued on. have a seat.'
trinque: mircea_popescu: hm, right. I'm describing a particular brand of neurotic american stress, not petrification.
trinque: diana_coman was commenting on the biological fact that being permanently afraid shuts down memory retention
a111: Logged on 2016-08-25 14:45 mircea_popescu: this is because you also don't grasp the concept of "learning" correctly. there is no required participation of the fucking subject in learning actual matter, such as philosophy. if i were teaching them cooking i'd be interested in their own fucking contribution and whatever. but the point of philosophy is to shut the fuck up and LEARN. what "the text makes you think" and what "you feel about X" is entirely uninteresting, bec
mircea_popescu: diana_coman in english, "petrified" denotes the situation of the mouse beset by snake, who can't move away ; not the situation of sodomites turned to salt by a vengeful god.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, that sounds then like an excellent class in waking up early, but with dubious results philosophy-wise :p
shinohai wonders when mircea_popescu will offer him full-time staff position as curator of players and tits

a111: Logged on 2016-08-25 06:02 mircea_popescu: it's so fucking weird - kid evidently comes from money. he didn't find a brothel ? a roach peddler ? nuttin' ?
deedbot: indoor_jellyfish voiced for 30 minutes.
BingoBoingo: $up indoor_jellyfish
phf: mircea_popescu: you're totally right, i have no idea what i was thinking
a111: Logged on 2016-08-25 00:56 mircea_popescu: "better ai" is no improvement when it traduces in practice to "must play a game with known/computable solution" .
a111: Logged on 2016-08-25 00:48 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-24#1529001 << seeing through walls is not ai.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-25 00:55 mircea_popescu: (it's also not terribly fun to play over the age of about 12 or so, for this very reason. supaplex, which had dumber scissors (always left/right hand rule) AND allowd you to turn them around was much more interesting game (when scissors applied))
a111: Logged on 2016-08-24 18:26 ben_vulpes: reminds me of a conversation with the excavator operator the other day: "how'd you get your wife to let you buy a corvette?" "let?!"
a111: Logged on 2016-08-24 15:41 diana_coman: true that; my thought there was informed by the fact that a 2 years old can be happily kept occupied with perfectly-adequate stuff IF someone points them to it; on the other hand if left on their own, they will ~always find a destructive thing to do
asciilifeform: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/08/24/equation_group_exploit_expanded_to_target_cisco_924_asa_boxes << in yet other lulz.

a111: Logged on 2016-08-24 17:23 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as i understand (and this is quite certainly not an expert view) most mmporg tried to use robotic 'npc' to fill this eco niche.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: there's a working-class thing of 'hand wife the wages to keep it all from going to drink'

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: unrelated.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i have a little bit of custom hardware for making this bearable, but this 'parachute' is not yet deployed in the field.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: there are 1,001 of these, and iirc at this point can even be bought in the shops in most civilized cities.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: may have been 'bus pirate'

asciilifeform: in mircea_popescu's movie - turns out - yes, everyone must.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what's the gain of having the 9 around ? makes the fella with the 250 feel extra-31333337 ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: how do you stand the barn folk? what do they contribute to your game world ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ah, i had this notion that it was discounted recently.
asciilifeform: abrr: are you here as part of mircea_popescu's 'pay for tits' program ?
shinohai: mircea_popescu well i hope you're having fun. <<< least I could do in exchange for the #trilema girl
a111: Logged on 2014-08-27 01:00 asciilifeform: 'pardon my cynical twist, but what are you doing with that 20,000×20,000 double-precision floating point matrix you say you need to invert _today_? If you answer "nutt'n, I jus kinda wondered what it'd be like, you know", you should be very happy that I am most likely more than 3000 miles away from you, or I would come over and slap you hard.'
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2014-08-27#811154 << mircea_popescu see also. ☝︎
asciilifeform: what did mircea_popescu think it was ?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: would you say 'name of the rose' is a reasonable portrait of 'who monks' ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the only clear thing it means is 'not monk, did not take vows of celibacy'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu never met such ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: from sov criminalistic records, the typical picture is 'grandfather kills family with axe', or 'mother drowns children', but no, afaik, 'village idiot axes dozen in town hall'
asciilifeform: diana_coman: statistical effect - most of the objects in your house that the 2yo could break, are not kept for this purpose
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu has article where 'supernumerary children who failed to find their infant graves'
asciilifeform: diana_coman: and if meteor falls on dense traffic in usa, chances are that it flattens dictionary speaker.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: chinese pictograms did not come from mars, no.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: the 'dictionary speech' thing is 'normal' in usa. have you been here in the past decade or two ? visit some time. pick up a newspaper, or turn on a television set. talk to a stranger on the train.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: from the article, it does not appear that the man picked up pistol and fired as a nonvolitional act of hindbrain
asciilifeform: all of the dysfunctions detailed in mircea_popescu's analysis, are ~typical~ of the folk here.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, beat me to it, lol
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i disagree that rodger is a notably broken example of an american.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman hip displasia also "always was, and always will be".
diana_coman: mircea_popescu> also consider - someone like the young rodger is the result of careful selection over the generations. <- thing is: if ancients were aware of the type, this selection thing is not really that relevant: there probably always was, there always will be
