asciilifeform: (perhaps mircea_popescu and i might've forgotten how to grind gnarly integrals mentally, but we still have the neurons to grind with 'macsyma' etc.)
assbot: Logged on 06-04-2014 14:59:26; mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ok. considering the what/how debate as accepted foundation : at any time there's a number of turkeys and a number of engineers.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i vaguely recall a story of yours, about a chum who went to usa and left in disgust, when he was not permitted to build other than a cardboard house.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it'd be great, but would have to be deep in a forest, secret, with a stump for a chimney - just like during the war. because living in something that isn't a house is highly illegal in usa (unless part of a designated ghettoschwitz)
rithm: mircea_popescu i totally do not follow the chat and just jump in randomly as if i knew what were going on
chetty: mircea_popescu, has these insane instant change mode switches .... he really don't understand how the rest of us live
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: takes an hour or to to even begin to switch gears, and that's if tired.
thestringpuller salutes mircea_popescu and asciilifeform *good day sirs*
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: vestigial waste of time. <<< why <<<< if you pharmacologically zap stages 3 and 4 of sleep - eventually death. stages 1 and 2 are spandrels. they're, as far as anybody knows, worthless - if you sleep only 1 and 2, approx. same as not sleeping at all. but our meat is not equipped for skipping straight to 3 normally.
ThickAsThieves: <+mircea_popescu> it's a sf story about how the exposure to fractals make brains pop. /// a couple weeks ago i was charting for hours on end, using fib spirals and picking apart fractal patterns, and this repeating melody started in my head, not a song i knew, just a sequence. It was there for a day or two. First time I was musically inspired in a while.
nubbins`: mircea_popescu the climate made us this way

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i vaguely recall an experiment from the '70s where everyone who was placed in apparatus had seizure. from ordinary flash lamp - but not at the familiar 20hz which sets off known sufferers
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: actually, there's a way.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, temporal lobe is where most of the electical dysfunctions happen in most forms of epilepsy.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Current through the temporal lobes alone likely has undesirable side effects
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: if mircea_popescu's - why ask me. ask your playmates.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: hypnosis ?
cazalla: mircea_popescu, hilarious
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in usa, never such a problem. they'd simply confiscate houses, cars, mattresses of money, until shortfall vanishes.
asciilifeform: which is one more reason why mircea_popescu's prediction from earlier (that the 'saecular authorities' will not molest those who plunder or destroy btc atms) is likely to come true.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: one can see why riga's popular with the british stag parties, russian biznessmen, and german tourists
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: well maybe you'll be more careful next time
pete_dushenski: twas nice of mircea_popescu to (seemingly unintentionally) trick artifexd into contributing to the 31bn diff fund.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: tap die holder.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Indeed, just waiting for the media to present it as new

mod6: <+mircea_popescu> so #eulora just succeeded in an infrastructure upgrade, taking crystal space from 38 something to 40 something. this is a major tech victory. << nice!!
X-Rob: mircea_popescu: the problem is, it's not that people don't care, is that' they don't want to learn. They go 'magic internet money', and that's pretty much it.
X-Rob: mircea_popescu: Well, p2pool is a specific case, and I probably shouldn't have used it, because that's one of the ones you /can/ be 100% certain about.
X-Rob: mircea_popescu: Well, that's an interesting question. Several pools mine to an explicitly well known address.
X-Rob: mircea_popescu: Indeed I am
punkman: mircea_popescu: yeah but why wouldn't the miner bet on himself

justusranvier: mircea_popescu: Yeah, I actually don't have many compilation/dependency problems any more, but it's not progressing very much as a distribution
asciilifeform did not know mircea_popescu is aficionado of gentoo
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: probably cut wire. or caught fire.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: yes - who doesn't know this.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i certainly do not see such... piss in the chalice in byzantium... pissing i nthe chalice in rome << some of us might like a place to defect to (specifically defect, rather than gulag-break and run into taiga)
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> incidentally, it is shocking, outrageous but also very amusing to see just how copy-pasted the final days us is from the peak of romania. it's almost as if instead of the romanian idiots copying teh superior us businessmen, the reverse happened. << i'd love to hear more about this
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: naggum link << which ?
B007: 08-03-2014 02:09:00 <B007> mircea_popescu: you should bet 1000 on something on your site

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Not at first. First it strengthens the Dinar, or whatever the fuck ISIS uses. Probably fucking Dogecoin.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: this is why the death of ussr is a global calamity - even folks like jurov and mircea_popescu, who saw the underside of the colonial boot, might see the argument as to how << i certainly do not see such.
asciilifeform: this is why the death of ussr is a global calamity - even folks like jurov and mircea_popescu, who saw the underside of the colonial boot, might see the argument as to how
decimation: mircea_popescu: there's a good story about that in the podcast link I put up yesterday: "But even without Russ's lectures, people began to recognize the potential for the Tragedy of the Commons. And quite quickly formed Cattlemans' Associations--the kind of thing that Elinor Ostrom would, you know, love to talk about; and I've talked about it with her. Russ: These are voluntary restrictions on the use of resources, not government,
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there's correcting khruschev's wandering pencil, and then real conquest
Azelphur: mircea_popescu: I've accepted that job offer from RagnarDanneskjol btw :)
decimation: mircea_popescu: and that's my point, for purely practical reasons alone, one would think that the 'married men' who have to deal with reality would prefer a power that has a track record of at least keeping a lid on the crazies at home and showing up to the diplomacy table with things in order
asciilifeform recommends the 'manna' story except for final chapters. just like mircea_popescu's snip of the 'dulap' tale.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: baked. http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1441

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: slightly different in ru. e.g., минетчица ~= 'blowjobesse', тракторица ~= 'tracroresse' - in same sense as Fr. 'comedienne.'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: sex anal cu tractoare, motocositoare si combine agricole >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mVOd8zY3D8 << 'in Flyshitte, in the Red Corpse Kolhoz... there lived Tractoresse!' ☟︎
