ben_vulpes: i studied with many of the like. getting them to think outside of the box was not worth the time
as there was no prerequisite dicksucking going along with it.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i labored a bottom-tier version of same. if that place was
as it was, MIT must be even more so.
whaack: what -does- concentrate at mit, and this was a pervasive-enough problem even in the golden days,
as attested to by old hands - is concentration of braggarts and showmen << my point is the showmen are simply the loudest
decimation: "What worries me is that some of these findings that are found with the big data and the data miners, that people look at the findings and then only after the finding, they concoct a story or a theory, develop ex post some intuition,
as to why this should work. And I think that's dangerous. I prefer to work on the basis of first principles: what is reasonable."
whaack: to anyone who does not immediately apprehend the reason for my position, i invite a look into the 'mit press' catalogues for the last decade or so. <<
as was expressed in my conversation with mp, mit's press facade is different than its internals. Much like bitcoin
mats: yes, thats why i mentioned it.
as a word of caution about respecting the enemy.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu, mod6 (others tracking the DNS seed thread
as well): i'd like to hear from you all
as well
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes and this person was under 30, and had never taken a virgin asshole, or planted a tree or butchered
as much
as a rabbit, couldn't put together a disassembled weapon of their choice if they had the whole day
mircea_popescu: (much funnier in romanian, where sfrr is an onomatopeia for sizzle,
as in a steak's sizzle, and thus implicitly a pars pro toto reference to "servants, friends, riches, reputation", ie the steak's sizzle.)
mircea_popescu: and that problem is present, and that problem is the deep reason i despise mit
as an intellectual approach.
mircea_popescu: the problem is that they are selling themselves wrongly :
as an achievement rather than
as an attempt. which is what allows stuff like that video to *denote*, whether it describes or not.
mircea_popescu: rhodesia is the informative example on this topic. the white guys could survive the attack of outside blacks with the support of the inside blacks, even
as the outsiders were being sponsored by the usual "helpers".
trinque: ben_vulpes: 6.1 was eric's thought on the matter
as well
mircea_popescu: i've been there yo. i lived half a year in lowell, mass. i ate half my meals in the house of professors there. i know the place,
as it happens.
ben_vulpes: "Regular expressions cannot respect a language's syntax (detect false positives short a full parser)" << this strikes me
as a special case of the "cannot simulate a universe without a universe" claim.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: irl, there exists such a thing
as gravity. you can't float broadly over a path. gravity pushes you down into it.
mircea_popescu: becoming something in the style of wikipedia : a great way to batten down the ignorance of users. after a mooc they're just
as ignorant
as before, but now it's much harder to fix.
mircea_popescu: they purport to be learner-driven. this is
as idiotic
as it gets. education works in the following stages : learner picks a teacher TO SUBMIT TO, blindly. teacher rapes the learner. this is education.
gabriel_laddel: unless I give someone the direct link,
as in here they'll only see it from that code path.
trinque: I just didn't run the old one, so was going to maybe mark these
as having come from the old thing
trinque: I'm saying all
as one bundle
trinque: arguably this is the first time this deedbot has seen any of these docs, so I don't think it makes sense to use old transactions
as the timestamp
trinque: ben_vulpes:
as I understand it I'll just take the old deeds and re-bundle them?
gabriel_laddel:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=25-03-2015#1069268 << for the record I was not attempting to "pass off" anything, but rather clearly define what it is that I'm talking about. I'm rather happy to have second-guessed that decision because the correct answer is that the lordship isn't clearly defined outside of what has been posted to trilema and
as one who isn't a lord I have no buisness calling it anything other
☝︎ mircea_popescu: (british-german rivalry goes back a long time.
as long
as there was a germany, really.)
mircea_popescu: decimation it means, "try and leech
as much
as you can off the young and impressionable females before a determined and disinterested young male gores you."
decimation: and 'responsibility' means 'yer ass is on the line now', not 'you can choose to do
as you wish'
mircea_popescu: i like a challenge
as much
as the next fellow, i guess.
mircea_popescu: Guest64542
as far
as i'm concerned, there's a crowd of silly people somewhere on the web that tricked a dc into bankruptcy. yes.
Chillum: mircea_popescu:
as usual the conversations here require context that takes time to learn
mircea_popescu: what started
as a service for folks too simple to understand why they do not wish to be /user/1004555
mircea_popescu: there is such a thing
as joint and several liability. let the dc sue them.
mircea_popescu:
as a warning for later muppets on the score of "fuck with people you don't know"
mircea_popescu: today the dc nulled that ip, which brings them into liability over the matter,
as the complaint is clearly spurious,
Chillum: decimation: I have a javascript snipet that shows me pages in the "attack page" category. Every so often someone makes a page describing what a fag some other person is and an editor markes it
as an attack page
mircea_popescu: presenting rank ignorance
as, rather than humiliatory, a sort of "problem". it's no problem.
mircea_popescu: "[W]hen a writer’s education on a topic consists in interviewing an expert, he is apt to offer generalizations that are banal, obtuse or flat wrong." << in romanian this is known
as "a waiter at one of these places where university professors gather can actually soak up a lot, often enough to pass himself for one"
mircea_popescu: the reason is that...
as decimation points out... nobody gives a shit about wikipedia
mircea_popescu: bitcoin forum is dedicated to making "free bitcoin content"
as well.
mircea_popescu: this is what an encyclopedia is. not a piling of "information",
as the acultural imagine.
mircea_popescu: Chillum again, that an elephant which counts to three is pretty great
as far
as elephants go does not make this a mathematical discussion.
Chillum: we have piles of crap, and then we have stuff we selected
as core subjects to get attention
Chillum: decimation:
as an astronomy enthusiast I disagree most firmly
mircea_popescu: moreover, it's relevant support. the support of people you're not intimate with is worth about
as much
as the word of people not in the wot.
decimation:
as in 'if the peasants don't want to work in the factory - starve them until they do?'
assbot: Logged on 24-11-2014 23:13:14; asciilifeform: ultimately, being a builder of industry at the 1917 (or even today's) tech level, fundamentally sucks.
as in, the same way being in prison sucks. so stalin et. al. tried experiment: what if being a peasant sucked -more- ? and - it worked.
decimation: I suspect the 'men-
as-parts' strategy is primarily implemented by the aforementioned engineer managers with poor social skills
mircea_popescu: i don;t think "men
as parts" is actually all that good.
decimation: asciilifeform: but does working
as a usg employee at jpl really free him from java hell?
decimation: well, to be clear, the chump market
as represented by wall street fund managers
Cummerbund: It was more naivety before learning what needs to be learned, so rightly I was embarrassed (
As opposed to just wrong)
decimation: for one thing, I doubt he's being charged for a felony
as a juvenile
decimation: being
as how the journalist is likely retarded
Chillum: using an admin password to log in and changing nothing would be just
as illegal
decimation: the thing that struck me
as weird about the eu (comparied to the us) was how compact little towns are, and how rural the countryside is
BingoBoingo: Chillum: Edging back garden with peppers handles deer/birds usually.
As do the coyotes/feral cats. Getting drunk and pissing in yard handles coyotes.
BingoBoingo more attracted to firetruck
as giant toolbox than
as firefighting implement. Also water cannon
BingoBoingo: In present vehicle's previous life
as rental car parking break cable became welded in engaged position. Mechanic corrected situation with bolt cutters.
assbot: Logged on 10-04-2015 20:29:20; trinque: chart a course towards the smallest of them, and towards selling it
as well
Chillum: early in computer science it was believed that computers were like brains and that with enough resources they could simulate one.
As we progress it becomes more and more clear that brains are nothing like a computer
whaack: I'm confused
as to why anyone would care about using GPUs to hash passwords
BingoBoingo: Graphics cards were never really "hacked for hashing" Bitcoin just came along on the exact time AMD graphics cards came into their own
as massively parallel compute devices
Chillum: using numbers only adds entropy when you randomly selecty them from the same set
as the letters
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, all the proper females ARE pets in good homes. the remainder are like unemployed "employees" that are not so much unemployed
as wilfully *unemployable*.
