_: alan kay's objects communicate with each other by sending messages. this is the approach taken explicitly in smalltalk, flavors (one of the lisp machine lisps), objective-c. the idea was inspired by john mccarthy's earlier concept of agents, intelligent systems that engage into q/a sessions with a user. a concurrent take on the same idea is called actors model and is implemented in erlang (and a bunch of other languages,

_popescu: i've seen your argument regarding the "true" value of a bitcoin where it has nothing to do with fiat. do you have a way to determine it? say, i start a community and we agree to use bitcoin as a currency. how many apples would one bitcoin (bit, satoshi, etc.) buy?

_popescu: now you're presuming there exists a heavenly Births & Deaths register

_popescu: well yes, the problem with the magical thinking of retards is that they assume there's a divinity somehwere in whose image they were made.

_popescu: really, "less than college education" ? having a us college diploma is like having a mental disability certificate. it just means you're at best useless but in principle dumb.
mircea_popescu: tell me funkenstein
_ what do you have "socialization" mean in there ?
funkenstein_: mircea
_popescu, no offense taken. I have mostly explored Red Square at my own leisure, but still consider myself a stranger there.
adlai: funkenstein
_: for what purpose you comparing? most useful metrics won't be too dependent on "difference from MRCA", but my intuitive kick barrel is starting to scrape
adlai: funkenstein
_: most recent common ancestor. you and i have one, we and the ants have one. probably not the same one.
mircea_popescu: funkenstein
_ understand, it's not that i dislike you or that i mean to do you the boo boo or anything. but there is a difference between the guy that was taken by hand through red square and the guy who lives in moscow. and i don't believe you are familiar with a whole bunch of superior math simply because it's not possible to be so disorganised in other aspects if that were the case. whether you recognize words on pre

_popescu: if you harbored any doubts the vermin in question is not merely vermin but teleguided vermin, there you go.
adlai: funkenstein
_: "sucking less" is multidimensional, you can have progress away from the origin (MRCA?) without imposing an absolute ordering of betterness across all individuals

_popescu> how do they survive this ? should be right about equivalent to forming gas bubbles in the bloodstream. << gradually increasing exposure

_popescu: obviously you can't make "the media" aka usg agitprop machine unhave all the vans and ex-sorority chicks and whatnot. so the only practical solution when you can't prevent them acting on their options is to limit their options to one.
BingoBoingo: <mircea
_popescu> BingoBoingo incidentally, you want kussmaul breathing. agonic really just means, last breath. << agonal is used here clinically for this sort of pathology

_dushenski: top kek. 'radiologist' goes to 'skool' for 10 years+ of post-secondary, spends $bezzle in tuition, and is still no better than a garbage-eating pigeon
BingoBoingo: <ben
_vulpes> is this one of the birds nominally intended to replace the warthog? << Compliment warthog.
adlai: "The mishap pilot (MP) was attempting to ..." << check it out, they're already slandering it on mircea

pete_dushenski: ben
_vulpes: loss of life 'costs' something, which is presumably fixed in this example, whereas 'value' of plane decreases over time, starting at $115 mn and eventually ending up at whatever the scrap is worth melted down.
ben_vulpes: a smaller example: some high performance gliders will tear themselves apart if they go too fast, pete
_dushenski
adlai: kakobrekla: well pete
_dushenski didn't link source so i'm not sure what's in store for that plane, but all i took from the quote is that it won't be chemtrailing isil farmlands
ben_vulpes: this is actually a thing with planes, pete
_dushenski.
pete_dushenski: the main thing running through my head while TRYING to read about ancient greek economics, what that point mircea
_popescu made in a footnote recently about 'economists need businessmen but not vice versa'
BingoBoingo: <pete
_dushenski> also, iraq seems to have something like 3.75 mn hectares (9.27 mn acres) of agricultural land for wheat production << Nothing compared to the soy fields USia already sprays with glyphosate.

_popescu: speaking of idle masturbation, i tried sifting my way through a few of 'pseudoerasmus' ' other blogs posts and pretty much choked to death on that inanity and pointlessness
pete_dushenski: apparently mircea
_popescu hasn't seen 'mars attacks' where eiffel tower is lasered in half
mircea_popescu: pete
_dushenski it's all idle masturbation. the usg can do about as much there as it can do against martians.
BingoBoingo: <pete
_dushenski> "ts fields could yield $200 million per year if those crops are sold, even at the cut rates paid on black markets. And how do you conduct airstrikes on farm fields?" << easily, call monsanto
BingoBoingo: ascii
_field: Just over half the sponsors. Other nearly half is disappoint because they tend to dislike the medicaid rates
ascii_field: just like in last night's thread where mircea
_popescu explains how nobody asks the motherfucking programmers anything
ascii_field: possibly the only uniquely usian aspect of this is the eagerness of the medics to stitch'em back up (as described in mircea
_popescu's suicide how-to)
BingoBoingo: <ascii
_field> is it because they were trying 'ironically' ? << likely

_popescu: but anyway, maybe the answer actually has little to do with a "west worship" thing, and simply is that the sort of people who have goals and set about to pursue them simply no longer exists. for all i know the problem of mauretania is exactly the problem of missouri : everyone in sight principally desires to sit down in front a tv.
ben_vulpes: mircea
_popescu: necessary for scansion

_popescu has ever shot any officer himself?

_popescu: the concept mostly went away in 1865

_field was having a private lulz earlier at the "strong condemnation" of the aziz fellow in mauretania.

_field meant to say ssd. he wtfs me on it later on.
ascii_field: ;;later tell mircea
_popescu '20GB with 2x 1000 GB non-SATA HDD' << ??? >> didja mean it? really, PATA ? or meant to say 'ssd' ?
