mircea_popescu: i keep waiting for one of these actually doing it properly : rubbing self with thyme and stuffing bacon in the cuts.

mircea_popescu: because i've had it explaining this in private : yes http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-19#1659420 goes to 1. for the same money, f(x) = 1/n^x g(x) = 1/x converge to 1/n, which is any arbitrary value (including 0 when n=x so f(x) = 1/x^x. nfi why this isn't evident, but anyway. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: i am shocked by this impredictable turn of events. really, he who hasn't and wishes he had will talk of futurez ?

mircea_popescu: i read all about it on trilema like five years ago.

mircea_popescu: i wonder if the 10th 9 in that latitude figure is correct, or was it really an 8. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: “Anyone who feels empowered by what happen, the only thing I can say is that if you want to harm our students, you are going to have to go through us,” Mitchell said at Sunday’s news conference. “We are not going to tolerate any harm brought to our students. Not on my campus. Not on my watch.”

mircea_popescu: hm, apparently i never did link it. not in the log at any rate. here : http://www.collarspace.com/personals/v/1927835/details.htm

mircea_popescu: i do have a profile though ; pretty sure i linked it at some point.

mircea_popescu: maybe, i guess. lafond is not very dedecated to the documentary side of things.

mircea_popescu: i still dun see what the kid did wrong.

mircea_popescu: moreover, when confronted with the bs, how the fuck do i need to reason to conclude correct solution is not "pay idiot on the phone visit at office, leave him beaten into a gel" but rather "tell kid to lie to strangers randomly and impredictably". what's he supposed to say, specifically ?

mircea_popescu: eh, i wouldn't put it on the kid.

mircea_popescu: i think this is good for fiat.

mircea_popescu: many variants. i actually bought a little table forceps once specifically because it looked like one historical type.

mircea_popescu: i suppose this is the hardest thing to grok for the drones. but anyways.

mircea_popescu: i have no fucking idea why freenode feels the need to go to the inept lengths of all this, OBVIOUSLY they leak all ips to usg. what the fuck is writing extra state in the machine gonna do exactly.

mircea_popescu: eh, this was an entirely novel behaviour. apparently, i "disconnected" except not, and then i "reconnected" except not.

mircea_popescu: i have nfi what one'd have to think, comparing the very elegant late 1800s items, often found on same street as the humongously ugly 1930, and not weep.

mircea_popescu: i guess huh.

mircea_popescu: "i dun care what you fucking idiots say, show me the proof of this, the logic of that, who counted these beans, wtf are you doing!"

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i can show by quote. http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=from%3Aascii+cryptography

mircea_popescu: religion for as long as it doesn't actually get in the way of what i'm trying to do right now".

mircea_popescu: now, obviously the protest will be "but mp, your example with newton is scandalous, math is a fucking science". yes, it is. in theory. in practice it is not, as far as every non-practician is concerned math is a religion by definition, and what's worse -- even as far as brilliant practicians are concerned! because what else do you make of http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-19#1659407 than "i am fine with interacting with math qua ☝︎

mircea_popescu: you know, i'm sorry to rain on anyone's parade, but this "skeptic" "post structuralist gender theory" piece is perfectly fine from said perspective. makes fine sense to me. the whole exercise is not so different from "proving" that, eg, newton letters are "pompous" and "improper discourse" because a) he uses a lot of symbols and purpose-made constructs and b) some of the stuff it says is counterintuitive to the layman. with a

mircea_popescu: maybe the problem is just senescent myopia, i fail to distinguish a hipster from a web designer from a "backend engineer" from an etc.

mircea_popescu: i suppose next stop is angry newspaper articles about how global warming burned a bunch of the lychens in some "artist studio" somewhere. because it totally was not the piled up dry garbage.

mircea_popescu: (probably a fine time to underscore the http://trilema.com/2012/the-stockexchange-shareholders-on-welfare/#selection-2229.1-46.1459 lulz. guess what -- it's not that THOSE random dorks are no longer here. it's that preet is now a "resident scientist" at NYU and i'm exactly where i was when his career was beginning, also.)

mircea_popescu: it's a good thing i'm right... now and again. LUCK!!11

mircea_popescu: i thought i fixed that ?

mircea_popescu: i can't explain it outside of fundamental alienation. dude can't pick up in bars like normal people, figures he wants this crap ?\

mircea_popescu: i think if i cad;d mnuch i;d get a pen though.

mircea_popescu: i suppose i don't actually use the mouse that much huh

mircea_popescu: i pgup the terminal. i generally don't use the mouse to select text, except in some circumstances, and even then only to land. ctrl-arrow etc toi actually select. and i dun much cad, nor can i stand it.

mircea_popescu: i'm confused. what ?

mircea_popescu: i have nfi, i never push down the wheels. why would i
