mircea_popescu: anyway, since examples work best : 763 mp+ 229 => 3 + 9 = 12 ie 2, 6 + 2 = 8 + 1 carry, 7 + 2 = 9 + 1 carry = 0 so finally = 82
mircea_popescu: addition is "and you flip a bit if and only if the digits overflow the mod", but this is historical accident.
mircea_popescu: there's a whole class of generalizations that can be done in this same vein.
mircea_popescu: consider something like mp's generalized addition : the sum of two numbers flips a bit if and only if one of them is prime.
mircea_popescu: while the carry property of addition is cryptographically valuable, it'd be better to use a general transform with bit coda instead.
mircea_popescu: yes "anticolonialism" was bullshit, but not because it destroyed a supposed rational approach of the colonisers. it was bullshit because it exactly mirrored "civil rights" at home, ie was driven by INTERnationalistic, socialist elite-wannabes.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo check out the libertards stealing the having stolen !
mircea_popescu: so basically reddit sucks at everything, including its purported purpose in life ?
mircea_popescu: the enjoyable aspect of these empty hollow shells of nothing PURPORTING to be "liberals" or "consumers" or whatever the fuck it is they're purporting to be is that it takes literally 0 effort to parody them into the ground.
mircea_popescu: i have this friend (ie, chick that was dating hotter guys than me in highschool and never sat with me in cafeteria) that's (((being))) a real estate agent except she's not closed on anything since 2015. it'd REALLY make my day if I could introduce her to some beta trading in their govt issued paycheck for a govt issued house certificate.
mircea_popescu: sometimes i can't help but think if you didn't have me around to provide grounding you'd end up drifting away into some cult or something BingoBoingo.
mircea_popescu: that's how you know they're not (((REALLY))) barristas, either. they don't admit to it, right ? so it's not true.
mircea_popescu: hey, she didn't (((REALLY))) lose if they don't admit she has!
mircea_popescu: it's basic, good thinking such as this that saves elections, i'll have you know. goood thing hilarity still has a chance!
mircea_popescu: gotta love how teh jews are still out there, acting as if there's more substance to this supposed "liberal" thing than said hilarity.
mircea_popescu: after all, you're not supposed to look anything up, just guess "what it could mean" "in context".
mircea_popescu: soo, given the "cultured milk" yoghurt bs these days, i wonder what % of us population's entire exposure to that concept is in that context, and as a result has come to believe "cultured" means you know, you've had some germs injected or something.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and now thatthe log is done, i shall dedicate myself to the other enjoyable literate passtime -- the reading of old trilema articles.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform hey, you were the one with "errythang exists in russian" kick no ? :D
mircea_popescu: and i'll point out that while Попескy is acceptable, Мирчи is pretty far from the original.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform happycoin.club/fiatnyie-uchrezhdeniya-v-virtualnyih-mirah/ bitminer.in.ua/фиатные-учреждения-в-виртуальных- and assorted other such.
mircea_popescu: and in other randoms of today, "Есть удобный справочник от Мирчи Попеску о том, как взаимодействовать с фиатными учреждениями, которые пытаются требовать юрисдикции над виртуальными мирами."
mircea_popescu: then the whole stack came tumbling down ; the chair that collapsed the moon unit.
mircea_popescu: shit's not gonna be reading any ssds, dvds, etcs, so why the fuck is my 2gb sample of two girls fucking each other's ass on the brandemburg expressed in z80 units.
mircea_popescu: nothing wrong with that. but note the fucking 8-bit byte friendly programs COME ON FUCKING CASSETTE TAPE! LIKE ROXETTE OMFG!
mircea_popescu: and me entirely by accident, lawyer's den had his antique playthings, we did some rally thing on an old crt tv.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's fine on some platforms. i think we might be like the only people who even touched such a platform this decade.
mircea_popescu: there is ~no benefit in maintaining a "quarter byte" antiquated notion, this isn't the museum of Z80 computing science.
mircea_popescu: it's pretty fucking clear by now that 64bit is where it stops anyway.
mircea_popescu: so why even maintain the "8 bit byte" nonsense ? "oh, it'd be hard for people to change" ? WHAT FUCKING PEOPLE!!! 80% of everyone involved with computers heard about this "programmable" thing sometime LAST YEAR
mircea_popescu: type ctrl-X alt-b macro-meta-F12 for item #10101100101011001010110010101100
mircea_popescu: knock yourself out, have 64 bit long glyph pages, who the fuck is keeping you.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-19#1715881 << here's an alt take on this : the problem comes from having the notion of byte be anything else but bus width. if 64 bit machines natively worked on 64 bit bytes, all the message fucktification bs known as unicode would be significantly less of a conversation issue.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: but the bill as written by the usg.hacks was "takes over", not "lingers irrelevantly for as long as we keep pouring money into the sand"
mircea_popescu: !~translate es to en servicio por el recollectamiento de materiales revalorizables
mircea_popescu: i always thought it somewhat weird that ~all we ever interview is chicks for the topless position, fwiw.
mircea_popescu: "who the fuck designs a p2p network like this ?" "hey, thank your lucky stars he didn't build it out of wxwidgets"
mircea_popescu: or w/e, there's a by now lengthy comet tails' worth of idiots who WERE NOT CONSULTED.
mircea_popescu: i'm not even sure what the claim is supposed to be. prolly grubles dicking about.
mircea_popescu: trinque the blessings of the plains folk. up here, there's no flies, no roaches, no nothing.
mircea_popescu: well, racoons are a very successful sort of rat. as a result, they don't have any friends among the people they interact with on any kind of regular basis. kinda like pigeons, actually.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes so you went like from oregon to washington ?
mircea_popescu: i'm not impugning yer testimony, but did want to point out that with some frequency in the anglotarded youth i get the impression they're deeply desocialized to the point of disability in this sense.
mircea_popescu: contrary to commonly held belief, tuna stinks up from the head down, not otherwise!
mircea_popescu: a psychopath, you see, is one whose intellectual development arrested at a very early stage, baby looks at its mother's eyes and doth not perceive aught past the glass. a socialmediapath, however, is one who simply forgot there is such a thing as people.
mircea_popescu: yes, but how do you know they're not talking to you as if you were the twitterbox ?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes if the story-field is reddit, instagram et all, have to factor in that if it's not a good story then why are people reading it and simple minds don't know a good asshole from a hole in the over the top ground.
mircea_popescu: in other holy shit wtf, about ONE THIRD of the total various itams that were in flight are now delayed in transit. BECAUSE FUCKING MIAMI. holy shit FEMA should gib me care packages.
mircea_popescu: but your argument was "i remain unconvinced that selection applied to us base stock will filter anything of quality", and this doesn't discuss culture (or rather, it proposes "but what if we fixed culture").
mircea_popescu: the vastness bag of possibilities presented by human genetics far far FARRRRR outstrips any vastness commonly contemplated, such as "how many atoms there are in the universe". this does not make it infinite, no, but there's much ado can be fit in the space between two "very large"s.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i did type the values through numpad mashing ; nevertheless and notwithstanding they are exactly correct.
mircea_popescu: this is the fundamental problem of racism, that it imagines a bag in which there are 8e795 possible balls out of which you pull 8e20 or so can be approximated on the basis of "i've seen THOUSANDS of 8e20 pulls! and besides, the bag is only like 8e21 or maaaybe 8e22". it is not. it is literally 8e795.
