mircea_popescu: mats re our ancient "annoying yelping japanese women", rando trilema commenter produced a "jewish cuckoldress" example : https://www.pornhub.com/view_video.php?viewkey=1117243257
cashmoney: fuck now im probably on a list for coming in here lol
shinohai: cashmoney: Since you list `linux` as a hobby, have you tried http://thebitcoin.foundation/trb-howto.html yet?
mircea_popescu: sort-of like wikitropes : used to be good back when a few smart people did it. then it got famous, all the wasters looking for "brand" crowded it.
ben_vulpes: "honey look total outlay on this is the integral of income fn for time under our roof, so let's have em fast and early while not making a whole lot of money"
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes she has a point tho, better do them all and be done with it.
BingoBoingo: Well, the vulpes wife is demonstrated fertile, will probably keep having babies fo another decade and a half
mircea_popescu: codependency, pantsuit-orc as a "happy" fambly. pretty obvious from the outside, at that.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-30 19:28 kanzure: what value would it be to dominate a bunch of aimless folx?
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-30#1706474 << same value as every other borderline finds in her "relationships". feels the void inside of you, where you know that you should've really gotten a lot further with what you had and why didn't you. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-08-30 19:02 kanzure: do you have a specific problem with megalomania? or am i going to get a zen butt statement about balance in reply..
a111: Logged on 2017-08-30 19:01 asciilifeform: it's just indescribably precious, 'i will move orbit of the earth', but can he produce so much as a thermostat that provably follows the claimed algo , rather than daotronic idiocy ?
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-30#1706459 << you don't understand, they "undid" the etherape. so it never happened. and besides there's no proof there even was a rapist. and so... ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-30#1706458 <<< nah. just another alt. their real them is like koschei's soul, in a needle in an egg in a duck in a rabbit up their ass on an island in a sea that doesn't exist. ☝︎
shinohai: http://archive.is/DvFtx "there is no more risk of loss to our customers than to the customers of a snack machine." <<< maybe coke machine, however
mircea_popescu: there may not be such a thing as the lincoln-roosevelt republic, and an end to life on earth is not sufficient cause to maintain it.
mircea_popescu: this doesn't go into how unqualified "you" are to implement such a thing. and by you i mean collectively, every monolinguistic english speaker, pantsuit, jew, etcetera.
mircea_popescu: and this is on the purely livresque level of "hey guise, i have a great idea for a work of fiction".
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: This is a wonderful time to be alive, even if the magical internet money could be ignored
a111: Logged on 2017-08-30 18:46 kanzure: trinque: i think our disagreement is regarding the level of readiness or detail of a model. your requirement is one for models that are much more mature. i think it would be better if you insist on as much upfront in the future... i'll try to keep that in mind.
mircea_popescu: nasa isn't even there. so no, nobody gives a shit what "nasa readiness" bla bla says anymore than what tardpedia wrote on any topic.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, the easiest way to be unpopular in middle America is to be a protester. By keeping alt-right from protesting the antiflags are monopolizing the being protester hate
mircea_popescu: it is also sacrilege to imagine nasa is relevant. there's no difference between random landscaper/jailbird injecting industial silicone into trannies behind a bar and the nist/ieee/etc as far as the republic is concerned : both are operating without a license and lying about it.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-30 18:43 kanzure: also: around these parts, is it sacrilege to speak about technologies that aren't at the far end of nasa's readiness scale? that might explain a lot.
BingoBoingo: From the newsmines: “I was like, ‘Wow, I own half a playground now,’” - City loses Park
mircea_popescu: anyway, to make a long story short, i'd be ashamed. "oh it worked". hurr.
asciilifeform: being human is a very part time thing for many.
mircea_popescu: not much of a learning machine. we're seeing a dog's mind.
mircea_popescu: iirc there';s even a n english version.
asciilifeform: is if it's all you do. or a camera lens would be a great mind.
mircea_popescu: the MOST you might be trusted with would perhaps be something like a de-pdf-ing bot, which you don't want to do because you (wrongly) imagine it's beyond your level.
kanzure: i don't think lungs are currently compatible with that idea. is it beyond understanding that such a scheme would require different components?
mircea_popescu: you're a bunch of idiots with nary a clue as to how anything works ; and what's worse, utterly unaware of this. "hurr durr what if we fed people through lungs" "oh noes, the food might explode". THAT is not the top of the list of problems.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-30 18:25 kanzure: what is the specific complaint about a star shade other than narcissism?
mircea_popescu: and yes there's such a thing as uv-algae.
asciilifeform: yea i have nfi how you could make a collector that dun get clogged with 10,001 species of ???.
mircea_popescu: yes, it rains a lot.
asciilifeform: also pretty sure that growth in reservoirs is a solved problem ( circulator + uv lamp ? )
mircea_popescu: oh and as a bonus : obviously the more complicated to be replaced is also the one that should be : the litteler pump in the heating system.
mircea_popescu: better example of how a) commodified "All purpose" hardware plus b) best intentions all around produce an unmanageable (literally, as a physical reality) situation could not be devised.
mircea_popescu: but in practice... you end up with two of these on partial circuits, and now i need a fluid flow phd to take a shower.
mircea_popescu: "is a pressure graded pump better than a plain, fixed effort pump ?" "yes, of course" sayz eg kanzure : http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-30#1706020 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: and the shower has a pair of buttons : if you increase the hot water debit, this drops pressure for the hot pump, which kicks in, dropping pressure for the main pump, which kicks in. and vice-versa. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: so, i don't have a reservoir here. i could build one, but i don't want to, because it'd be too small (there's a minimum size of reservoir, because the algae ie "taste" is a function of surface approx, whereas volume obv matter of volume ; if your tank is not big enough it'll be flavoured.)
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-30#1706369 << how about focusing on your own fucking problems! clean up that pizza wrapper! cook for fucking once. go out and walk that misfortunate dog of yours. instead of pretending to "solve" the problems of distant others for the transparent reason that you can avoid having to confront not having done ANYTHING in a whole decade this way. ☝︎☟︎
a111: Logged on 2017-08-30 17:52 trinque: kanzure: fucking hell, a star shade. the narcissism out of folks like you will flow over any wall but extinction, wont it.
BingoBoingo: <kanzure> re: "right to farm", sunshade can be tiny, can be big, can be over ocean or whatever, all sorts of magic. << Per tradition and actual law anything that interferes with farming be it a coyote, hippy vandal, or orbital umbrella is subject to correction by the farmer.
mircea_popescu: it's unclear whether this means very ass or three asses, but in any case, let no one ever call me an asshole. i'm evidently a triasshole.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-30 17:21 asciilifeform: also ate a month+ of heathenlogz but eventually maxed dosimeter.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-30#1706339 << i ran some structurizers on it. because apparently these people lived for a decade never discoveredf they want a search button ;/ ☝︎
BingoBoingo: <kanzure> no that doesn't work so well; private space ventures would then also be world government instruments. << If private space company aggresses my tomatoes with sunshade, that is a tort and an aggression. Traditionally remedy for unwanted shading is chainsaw
mircea_popescu: actually putting it in would certainly be a violation of the nonmilitarization of space convention.
mircea_popescu: kanzure it's empty wankery of the sort a certain kind of us-born, esl drone (aka, castrato) engages in.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-30 17:19 asciilifeform: 'we'll butcher'em all amidst laughter and merriment -- except for a few we'll take home to experiment...' (tm)(r)(tomlehrer)
mircea_popescu: hurr durr, who the fuck has a horse in this race.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: it's a pretty good weapon, as far as these go. ( it it existed... )
BingoBoingo: <kanzure> if we're going to talk about cowardly conversation tactics how about "omg you're going to nuke us because you're planning to deploy a sun shade" << This falls under "Right to farm" Sunshade does a concrete economic harm, is an act of war
asciilifeform: ( and yes, it's still grantolade if the fed prints it and gives it to elon musk et al to keep warm up his arse for a while and only then he gives it to you . )
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> nuclear ablation for countries full of uppity californirasts, fortunately, just as practical. << Time the explosions, maybe get a couple micrometers further from sun for bonus cooling
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> totally. what the fuck is kik anyway, the irrelevant nonservice that facebook didn't buy for a trillion ? << Porno messenger promoted through craigslist spam
asciilifeform: i for one do not know ( though can make educated guess ! ) what kanzure is doing in bitcoin. but asciilifeform's interest in it is specifically in bringing this whole 'international Consensused We' to a permanent end.
asciilifeform: well kanzure's answer to 'no, i don't want a usa-controlled planeteering death star to exist' was not 'oh hey this 1 d00d doesn't like it, guess i won't advocate to build it'
kanzure: seems that you think i am here for "true domination". you said so just a moment ago..
asciilifeform: that's a question for kanzure .
kanzure: what value would it be to dominate a bunch of aimless folx? ☟︎
asciilifeform: but because they drop snr and make a mockery of thinking itself.
kanzure: do you have a specific problem with megalomania? or am i going to get a zen butt statement about balance in reply.. ☟︎
asciilifeform: but of the megalomania implicit in taking a serious interest in planeteering, per se
asciilifeform: it's just indescribably precious, 'i will move orbit of the earth', but can he produce so much as a thermostat that provably follows the claimed algo , rather than daotronic idiocy ? ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2017-06-06 15:24 mircea_popescu: and if experience with the empire of "i just want to" lazy idiots is any guide, they're DEFINITELY not going to "get in trouble for buying microsoft". because "nobody could have predicted" and "they were just doing their job" which "hey man, it's just a gig, it's not my life!"
asciilifeform: at risk of digressing, i will note that it is gut-bustingly funny that people who cannot produce a comp that doesn't crash, prattle on about planet-reshaping wunderwaffen
ben_vulpes: and hey, a mere three degree increase could kill enough folks to bring the population back to a reasonable level.
kanzure: asciilifeform: regarding your preference for warmer climates, is there a limit?
ben_vulpes: lol changing orbit parameters; this is a classic
kanzure: trinque: i think our disagreement is regarding the level of readiness or detail of a model. your requirement is one for models that are much more mature. i think it would be better if you insist on as much upfront in the future... i'll try to keep that in mind. ☟︎
asciilifeform: how about nasa is a subsidy for lockheed, and oughta go away with the rest of the idiot reich ?
trinque: if you can't communicate a specific model, why are you talking, other than to cast your upvote for whatever futurememe gives you a semi?
ben_vulpes: http://logs.bvulpes.com/trilema?d=2017-8-30#193441 << how does this even begin to work without putting a shade between earth and sol?
kanzure: also: around these parts, is it sacrilege to speak about technologies that aren't at the far end of nasa's readiness scale? that might explain a lot. ☟︎
kanzure: isn't it a little early for me to mae such a specific proposal..?
kanzure: why do i need to make a hard statement about a star shade deployment plan?
trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-30#1706397 << meanwhile this tactic hopes the reader assumes the best, while the writer avoided making a hard statement. ☝︎
kanzure: so, for example, there seems to be an assumption that a star shade would *have* to shade asciilifeform. why?
kanzure: so why would deploying a star shade and testing it-- perhaps not even on the earth-- preclude understanding what you're doing?
kanzure: if we're going to talk about cowardly conversation tactics how about "omg you're going to nuke us because you're planning to deploy a sun shade"
asciilifeform: i mean, it is intrinsically a weapon. like nuke.
kanzure: almost everything can be weaponized. that's not a good argument.
asciilifeform: i can see it as a (largely fictional) weapon. against folx who have nothing with which to disagree.
kanzure: what is the specific complaint about a star shade other than narcissism? ☟︎
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: 'we are the greatest people, we are the greatest nation, Nothing Like Us Ever Was, our every whim is a Global Consensus, and stfu terrorist'
ben_vulpes: also gimme a break, the root cause here is the chain reaction of burning all of the stored hydrocarbons, and it ain't going to stop until all of the fuel is gone.
ben_vulpes: as if the blip of geological time sapiens observed is representative, and not a transient of a transient
trinque: kanzure: fucking hell, a star shade. the narcissism out of folks like you will flow over any wall but extinction, wont it. ☟︎
asciilifeform: also ate a month+ of heathenlogz but eventually maxed dosimeter. ☟︎
asciilifeform: 'we'll butcher'em all amidst laughter and merriment -- except for a few we'll take home to experiment...' (tm)(r)(tomlehrer) ☟︎
asciilifeform: ( i needed a prb for an experiment... )
asciilifeform: because empty skin of a man .
shinohai: Blockchain Capital is one of the "investors" that pre-purchased tokens ( a brainfart of Brock Pierce)
mircea_popescu: totally. what the fuck is kik anyway, the irrelevant nonservice that facebook didn't buy for a trillion ?
mircea_popescu: "o man, the guys in finance figured out a way to get paid for selling shares without selling any" "whoa" "Technologee man. it can do anything" "can it make you shut up ?"
