Although Shkreli's lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, argued the post fell under the right to free speech, Judge Matsumoto disagreed. "This is a

a111: Logged on 2017-09-13 18:32 mircea_popescu: speaking of which, i kinda always wondered why exactly the SUV craze stopped. i mean, once you give up on sense, there's no way to land, is there ? they could have made a DOUBLE SIZED "car", that takes up two lanes, and could carry that much more injected plastic on the frame.

mod6: <+pete_dushenski> http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-13#1713589 << craze just shrunk so that 4-banger engines can propel "suv". it's alive and well though. sedan is dead on a stick. << I hate driving, but i can't see myself ever not having the slut-wagon. ☝︎

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: for some reason i recalled you having a plastic-bodied porche

asciilifeform: imho it is interesting and very pete_dushenski's-porche-esque, you can buy a $2k+ chair and still plastic. ☟︎

asciilifeform: because i found one in a skip in early '90s

BingoBoingo off to serve the interest of Petty Justice for a few hours.

mircea_popescu: maybe one day there's a place to rent servers from. until such a time, so long phuctor.

mircea_popescu: so im guessing that a) disk phuctor disk is never getting replaced, when it fails it faisl and b) im not going to be paying these schmucks anymore, when they turn it off they turn it off.

mircea_popescu: this a) re an ip that hasn't sent any mail in the past i dunno, six months ? and b) from the phuctor people.

mircea_popescu: everything to do with a honest day's work is an incomprehensible ball of contradictions to the comfortable lazy, ever so convinced of the usual slate of "can make own decisions" and whatnots.

asciilifeform: i vaguely suspect that 'sane hoster' is a contradition similar to 'sane miner'

mircea_popescu: why exactly i am still paying fucking fiatola ugstani retards to host servers for me when there's a whole lot of supposedly competent, supposedly business oriented and not yet entirely senile bright minds also an open question

asciilifeform: as for the peculiar iron box and led display, it's a straight rework of old sov calc chassis, which is telltale evidence of when item was designed : '80s, the last time anything interesting happened in orcistan.

mircea_popescu: a) рф ? rly ? wtf is рф ? b) publicdocumens/1312420 ? really ? WHAT THE FUCK is being communciated, am i often going to do select where = randomnumber ? c) pdf, really ? fu

mircea_popescu: anyway, his point stands -- absent any qualitative understanding, ie for a black box world, the probability as declared is the best approximation. this is no small matter, at all.

mircea_popescu: the exact quote is "En faisant, par exemple, remonter la plus ancienne époque de l'histoire à cinq mille ans, ou à 1 826 21jours, et le soleil s'étant levé constamment dans cet intervalle , à chaque révolution de vingt-quatre heures, il y a 182621/1 à parier contre un qu'il se lèvera encore demain. Mais ce nombre est incomparablement plus fort pour celui qui connaissant par l'ensemble des phénomènes le principe ré

asciilifeform: i thought the sun item was a wink at the fact that statistic is an inference tool, not divine revelation

mircea_popescu: shinohai laplace points out (correctly) that a first heuristic for "what is the probability of sun rising tomorrow" is to divide the number of times it was observed rising to the total number of assays. in this case, your life in days / your life in days + 1.

mircea_popescu: ie, it's not just cryptography that suffers from a shocking dearth of actually useful contribution,

mircea_popescu: speaking of paucity in scientific literature : /me has not to date encountered a proper discussion of laplace's "sun also rises" probability ; notwithstanding the pantsuits got butthurt enough over the "absurdity" of it to pretend "bayesian" is the proper name for laplaceian statistics, nobody seems to have put the elbow greate into it.

mircea_popescu: in other news, should saucy mcsaucerson be a burlesque magic act ? or a really bad apple juggler ?

mircea_popescu: except to where it's one week every week and a half

phf: asciilifeform: i haven't had a chance to meet with zeptobars guy yet, but will do before the end of my visit

mircea_popescu: a coil basically

asciilifeform did not grow up in moscow, and spent a total of couplea days there, as a kid, never saw this item sadly

phf: in the 90s the exhibit of denisyuk technology was basically a tiny room, with a handful of original prints and the "holographic device", displayed with a working laser. was a kind of mecca for certain kind of person, mandatory for a visit when you're spending a day in vdnh

asciilifeform: the major breakthrough in holography was made from very common materials, which shows the astonishing dedication, enthusiasm despite a total lack of support from management

asciilifeform: 'the bobbin, in all likelihood, was from some truck. in the early years denisyuk used it for igniting the mercury lamp, it served at first the function of the yet-uninvented laser. nearby is a capacitor by siemens, a transformer, definitely scavenged, found on some post-war scrapyard

phf: a kind of semipermanent "look into the bright communist future" exhibit

phf: asciilifeform: yeah, it was a very niche thing. a sort soviet retro future exhibit that somehow survived through the 90s. i don't quite remember what else was there, plasma globes, various magnet accentuated magnetic liquids, that sort of stuff

phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-13#1713800 << one of the appeals of VDNH back in the day was a tucked-in-the-corner collection of Denisyuk holograms. so i went there again, place is almost a shell at this point, BUT one of the buildings was taken over by polytechnical museum, not only did they make a rather nifty science (without quotes!) museum but they also preserved all those old holograms. i suspect i wasn't the only one who loved ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2017-09-13 18:06 asciilifeform: ideallly. i don't have a fixedtime reciprocal finder.

asciilifeform: ( there is a legit reason why, but i will leave it as exercise for readers )

asciilifeform: but this is problematic and div0 is a fatal eggog in p.

mircea_popescu: of course the computronist would think mod 0 is "an op that dun terminate". but in any case, the "divide by x" approach to calculating a mod is just shorthand, not fundamental. mod is defined in terms of substraction (take x and y, substract y from x until remainder sub y), has nothing to do with multiplication side of the number ring.

mircea_popescu: phf you know, for all the foibles, 1970s pop icons DID try a sort of very brusque, uninformed and "hi i come from the trailer park" alf-boat. hence cocksucker blues and the large touring busses.

phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-13#1713586 << i'm pretty sure that's even in logs: we've concluded that ideal ascii item is a moog like thing, installed on a Nautilus ☝︎

mircea_popescu: ie, there's nothing capitalist about it whatsoever ; capitalism does order the disordered symbols in similar manner as longhand does, as an act of civilisation and a point of manifest superiority pointedly absent from the work (or generally ustardian mentality today)

mircea_popescu: also lulzy, in simiular vein, though i wouldn't for a moment call it "capitalist hell". it is pure and simple collapse among the symbols, as typified in teh elevator scene.

asciilifeform: ( asciilifeform got a leather-bound 'незнайка на луне' nearly 2wks before the plane , and was in for quite a treat, pictured was stereotypical 'capitalist hell' usa )

mircea_popescu: afaik "fuchsia herring" never gained coinage in ru, but honestly it's a much better name for "black chicks code" than "black chicks code" ☟︎

asciilifeform: there is a legend that yeltsin swore on a copy instead of bible

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform she's actually a scientix.

asciilifeform: aha but she's a chix

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's a pity all the cancerous fags passing for comedians in pantsuit circles are crowding out the real talent which might be writing exceptional xharms pieces on the basis of current idiocy.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform imo it's very fucking stupid to show kids how to do plain division by hand, but then NOT also show them how to do square roots. it fucks up the whole purpose ofd the whole thing, paring down a tree branch to a single item.

asciilifeform: ( it is worth remembering that ffa is not built to be a museum piece, 'shortest physically possible rsa', but grudgingly made concessions liek abandoning egyptian mul -- so long as result is still fixedspacetime -- , so that it can actually be fired in anger . )

mircea_popescu: after which we had kid council, decided guy is not really a teacher.

asciilifeform: it flows from the fact that we walked 1 bit, rather than ( on my box ) 64 at a time

mircea_popescu: is that 100 or 150 related to a particular bitsize ? 8096 ?

mircea_popescu: and since i've this piled in here : to ~multiply~ 349087340 by 3059056 : you create a list 22 items long, that is 29 + 22 bits wide, and you proceed writing down 1 0100 1100 1110 1010 0110 0110 1100 in it bit-shifted 22 times, nulled on occasion. then you add these terms. right ?

asciilifeform: the fact that it advances a bit at a time ?

mircea_popescu: we continue comparing the divisor, adding bits from the divident's tail and substracting the divident until we run out of digits, at which time we have the remainder. every time we substract we mark down an 1, every time we add digits from the divident's tail we mark down a 0.

mircea_popescu: this is a solid point.

asciilifeform: it reflects the reality of what a 'constantspacetime program' really is.

mircea_popescu: this new item is to my eyes fundamental pillar of "fit in head", because a thoroughly well understood mechanism can then be relegated to background and built upon.

mircea_popescu: W, precisely, it is to be obtained. this is why the concept of "function" as heretofore used is not useful in republican computing, and we must introduce a new item.
