BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I imagine
they remain so
the bombs can fly after Maduro sends
the moving
trucks
mircea_popescu: because
they found
the perfect
thing
to hang
tyhem over, maduro can just arrest
them and bye-bye posturing.
BingoBoingo: Uruguay's official line on
the situation so far is "We're fucking Uruguay,
this is out of our weight class"
though individual politician statements
take every possible position.
BingoBoingo: Well, overnight alt-President invited
the US Embassy garrison
to remain over Maduro's expulsion order
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2019-01-18 17:04 mircea_popescu: but anyway, in
the us
the strictly only avenue left
to
the dnc is
to "pretend"
to "ignore". if
they engage
they get crushed.
the party's already gone as a going concern, for which reason :
the only way an imaginary party can continue its imagined hold on worldly
things is
through "ignoring"
them.
BingoBoingo: ^ For
the same mouth different messages out of each side files
mircea_popescu: nor is
there such a
thing as Venezuala. did you get your vowels knotted up
there ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo "He/She/You can == Puede" << no you belongs
there.
mircea_popescu: yes, because not readily computable
the reverse, "which number are
these liars for"
mircea_popescu: which is also why
there exists such a
thing as m-r witness sets, ie sets of witnesses guaranteed
to not be false up
to a certain value of candidates
mircea_popescu: much like in
the case of usual gcd -- checking a random number for divisibility with 2 provides a much larger benefit (eliminates 50% of candiates)
than checking a random number for divisibility with 15,485,863, which only eliminates 0.000% of candidates.
mircea_popescu: specifically because density is uniform, if you ~only~ check say 64 bit numbers as witnesses (ie, nothing smaller
than 2^63)
there's a set of composites < certain limit
that'll pass ; whereas if you only check 1-63 bit numbers (so
the same ~number~ of numbers)
there's a set of composites
that'll pass, but
they're LARGER
than
the same limit.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it is counterintuitively actually better
to
test with smaller integers
than larger ones.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-11 17:30 asciilifeform: btw per asciilifeform's chalkboard,
the physical cost of constanttime m-r is ~equal
to
that of (2 modexps of
the given width) x (number of witnesses) .
mircea_popescu: keks of all
time,
the imaginary "civil society" is gonna benefit from ustardation.
BingoBoingo: Even
though both are charismatic fellows rich in moustache.
BingoBoingo has been explaining
to people wishing for "humanitarian intervention"
that
they need
to be very careful what
they wish for
BingoBoingo still waiting
to see about
that aircraft carrier
BingoBoingo: Anyways, US-Vzla diplomatic relations have been cut. USG.BLUE has 72 hours
to get out.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-11 17:08 asciilifeform: !Q later
tell phf i recently found
that lcd panel made by (defunkt) 'pixelqi co', pq3qi-01 , is still sold by chinese ( i have nfi if clones, or old stock ), ~100 $ ea;
the
thing
toggles from 1024x600 colour/backlit into a 3072x600 greyscale reflector
thing, worx with various lappies ( sadly not x60, it's a 16:9 )
a111: Logged on 2018-10-16 00:19 asciilifeform will
try again with 'samsung n150' box, with sadder kbd, but same chipset, and reportedly fitting
hanbot: duck chucking's a pleasant pastime, and does seem
to encourage interest in flight!
BingoBoingo: Looks more like learning
to fly by being made
to fly.
Mocky: being chucked into
the air?
BingoBoingo: Is
that Chimichurri Raptorson in
the
Trilema header
today?
mircea_popescu: stupidity characteristically doesn't learn from others' personal history -- but if
there ever was an example of why
the bootblack ~does NOT~ want
to raise above his crepidam...
mircea_popescu: that poor guy, incidentally. first
they
told him he can be university professor! and he believed. and, unending misery, can barely read, yet has
to "teach" constitutional law.
a111: Logged on 2014-07-19 03:16 mircea_popescu: so,
this poor unfortunate soul found herself living her parent's dream : an assistant professor! at
the prestigious ubb no less!
BingoBoingo: TBF, when Obama got stood up in
the "Yes, we can" meme in English, I doubt anyone meant "yes we can"
to actually
that instead of "Yes he can", but English has been broken for a while
mircea_popescu: no explicit we either, but at least puts all
the accents in
the intended places, it's just how you communicate
the notion in spanish.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo honestly i'd expect
the least ambiguous rendering of "yes we can" would be "si que podemos!"
BingoBoingo going
to be digging anyways because
the CNN "yes we can"-ism is begging for a blog post
a111: Logged on 2018-01-09 17:18 mircea_popescu: but what do i know, i dun have fifty +1/+1 green beret cultural experts on
the ground
to write me briefs.
BingoBoingo: Seriously, conjugation! Sí nos podemos, no fucking WE in
that chant
mircea_popescu: right, si is ambiguously yes and if,
therefore "if it's permissible" is perfectly valid
translation.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, CNN is hearing "Sí, se puede" in chants and
translating it
to "Yes we can". I am hearing "Si se puede" more of an "if he can..."
BingoBoingo: But, now Canada loses money on
the oil sand anyway
BingoBoingo: Chavez and Canadian oil sands
took Vzla's skill reservoir
BingoBoingo: Every petrol has a skillset it needs
to be brought
to market.
mircea_popescu: this is
their exact future, decade or
two down
the road, now
that
they've blown
their chance.
BingoBoingo: 80s-90s Vzla had
the money
to build what
they saw n
the VHS
tapes
BingoBoingo: Anyways middle class housing in uruguay means maybe a garage. In Vzla middle class housing means a six car garage.
The country gets poorer, but can't eat garage.
BingoBoingo: Anyways,
the recent history of Vzla is informative with respect
to
the US's future, competing with Argentina. As recently as
the 1990's Vzla was a rich Germany. Chavez cut it down into a starving Ukraine. Maduro heard
the people asking for more socialism and is giving
them exactly what
they want. Now USG is set
to make a Somalia.
mircea_popescu: i can see
that word making a republican career. "buncha latibulizers!!!"
BingoBoingo: I promise, all I did was kill
the links. Yes its spam, but lulzy.
mircea_popescu: "TOR is a software
that with a utter enormous vivid concealed allows you
to latibulize from prying eyes
the exemplary shooting go
together you do and did on
the Internet." ?!
BingoBoingo: Either way,
those noodles came from somewhere
BingoBoingo: I'm seeing photos of freeways full of people in Caracas, but it is hard
to
tell how many kilos of dry noodles
they are getting for showing up
BingoBoingo: In clarifications,
the
Tres Cruces rally is
to support other president, other Vzla president is in Caracas doing color revolution
mircea_popescu: just, you know, illiterate simpletons in no sense romanian, because you can't be romanian without ready access
to cultural reference,
the entire nation exists of naught else.
Mocky: BingoBoingo: got it,
thx
