mircea_popescu: oh btw, should prolly formalize the function/mechanism thing from yest a bit. so, a function (in the correct, math understanding, a "procedure" in cs lingo is no different, which is why lisp hasn't "procedures") denotes correct results, but does not connote any particular method of obtaining them. this is no good for us, in many military applications, where we must actually specify not merely WHAT is being sought, but also HO

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you realise thermic isolation is a time function, yes ? eventually all parts of assemblage do end up in thermic equilibrium, there's no pill for this. insulation just makes it take longer is all.

mircea_popescu: (and to round off the above : consider that the first metallic aluminum was shaped into a box and offered to the same person as the ironclad drawings were offered. whyssat ? cuz that's how all science flew back when people could control it.)

mircea_popescu: more importantly -- that the chinese DID takle over "industry", as well they should ; but that survival and prosperity depends on THIS. let them have THAT industry, it's actually a great fit for them.

mircea_popescu: so : the faberge egg, the original, was made in 1885 ; but it was the continuation and in a sense the crowing of a current of thought (ie, culture) and proper civilisation that reached back over a centry. ☟︎☟︎☟︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-13#1713729 << this is not even a correct statement. more properly "i will desist killing all my offspring before gestation completes if and only if my sovereign right to kill them at any time is socially recognized". ☝︎☟︎

mircea_popescu: way the fuck cheaper socially than my stricter "i will only have children in a society where i get to decide if they live or die" ☟︎

mircea_popescu: come to think of it, the arrangement where the woman is a slave (like every sultan's consort up to roxana) and her offspring ARE SLAVES TOO until such a time father thinks otherwise (which yes, can be coming of age, if ever) is probably best way to do it.

mircea_popescu: jefferson was, in truth, a bit of a lulzfest after his unseating. somewhat of an early us ron paul / jirinowski etc.

mircea_popescu: the pretention that "they have other things to do" a flimsy wrapper over the obvious "you've nobody that'd take you in"

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it'd work a-ok for all the current ronin ones.

mircea_popescu: the particular woman in question was yes, domestic slavegirl, it's a thing, it works well.

mircea_popescu: this is a solid point.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is a lot more common than realised, on account of accomplished adult male not having patience for the older female only mode of life (the claque).

mircea_popescu: and if they had been jewish, all her older female relatives would have gotten misty in the cobweb, "omfg he's a DOCTOR!!!"

mircea_popescu: what exactly am i asked to believe, that woman whose name only exists because she was bought by jefferson family somehow had other priorities ? like what, sexual congress with the black males ? odds are she'd have rather fucked a donkey.

mircea_popescu: a yeah right shinohai

mircea_popescu: as if it were a thing.

mircea_popescu: no, i mean from the following cultural perspective : for as long as road network continues growing, the user wants massive, impressive beast of a steel machine. to show his supremacy over the attendant landscape in proper context (ie, he's affraid of the wilderness roads expand into). once expansion stops, he wants an efficient little thing, to get it over the next guy (ie, he's affraid of neighbour). and once road network st

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you should have seen that thing, it was a proper tenderloin, all of it. which you know, you do if you have a dozen people coming.

mircea_popescu: dig up a new pool, that she quits her job, and that they EAT A STEAK.

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i watched last night "fun with dick and jane", which is a fine throwaway. other than tea leoni making a way the fuck better applegate/bancroft/whatever (these typically ustardian huswife of businessman roles, where businessman is one of those schmucks doing nothing, "vp of ziggler-engels" sorta thyings). but the interestinfg part is : the guy gets a promotion. the signalling signs of this promotion are, that they

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. ☟︎☟︎

mircea_popescu: once it's a story of stupid old women, it's history.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-13#1713462 << i suspect back before the "end of the world" people had a firm dislike for "life changing prizes". because hadn't experienced disruption in the proper sense ; and understood the lottery winner problems. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: and he produces a 12 page item.

mircea_popescu: so you will have a gold-iridium head stored in paris ?

mircea_popescu: (ftr, what teh lordship usually catcalls as your "Goalpost sliding" is really your most carnal aspect. you sound JUST like a woman when you do it.)

mircea_popescu: and then a rule is added to the set.

mircea_popescu: point being, until and unless the process is thoroughly and well understood, we'll keep being blindsided by "mining is a bug" bugs.

mircea_popescu: sounds a lot like "your house is fine mr p, for as long as you hold on to this here bearing beam"

mircea_popescu: this is a cycle

mircea_popescu: the sort of culture of the 70s/80s of which "need for speed" franchise is a sad bastardization in the ustardian hot topic sense ?

mircea_popescu: i dunno how many people you will have to shoot to keep them from taking your general-purpose p-based rsa and writing a narrower, "works for rsa only" faster program.

mircea_popescu: it's a complicated problem./

mircea_popescu: which is a serious point of alarm in my head at this juncture.

mircea_popescu: so, want a frog you can kiss into housekeeper&cocksucker all you want, for all the good'll do ye.

mircea_popescu: anyways. i spent some time where the math lives, and i am satisfied that proving some sort of hard relation between fxy=mod(xy) and a polynomial expression of xy is in fact reality-breaking.

mircea_popescu: there's even dedicated "investment" stupid money chasing such "ideas". not as many as there were in the 90s, owing to a lot of unfortunate interactions with various "transhuman" tards past 20 years, but still some.
