mircea_popescu: asciilifeform maybe i misunderstand something, but that actually should have been an argument for, not against.
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: leaving aside how that 98lb woman could NOT have eaten the 18 oz porterhouse she served herself in two days : really doods, to finally afford 10 bucks wortha meat you gotta be promoted to floor 51 ?!
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: more like where the epic failure of management to manage the business leaves it stranded.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo sorta how porn transitioned from finding teenagers looking to explore the world to producing vanity tapes so rando hookers can pretend to be "pornstars" for an extra 10 bucks in the vip room.
mircea_popescu: they also didn't have eg "total make-over" shows and so on.
mircea_popescu: which fits in SOME heads, liek galois' in 1800s or the fermat thing recently.
mircea_popescu: so then if joe claims the "Streamlined" rsa fits in his head, what do you do ?
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: it is after all sexual competition. gotta be fast, cool and sharp!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so how do you redefine "winning the race" ? have the drivers recite the engine parts afterwards, disqualify all errors ?
mircea_popescu: i know i was. ie, it was not directly evident to me that mining as originally designed has this weakness.
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: technically you're right -- the change fgrom satoshi's prototype mining to today's item comes exactly from "young cocks" trying to get laid.
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: then injection came about, and they scrapped the old designs
mircea_popescu: notwithstanding EVERYONE there had the practical, earn equivalent of 5 phds in mech eng.
mircea_popescu: but the process is interestring, they kept adding shit to the old engine to "make it better". which it did, at the cost of becoming unmaintainable.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform engine work the interesting part, but sure.
mircea_popescu: ok, quick summary : tech pre-injectors was carburators. engines "optimized for racing" got slowly more complex over time. then injection became feasible, and they simplified. now they've recomplexified again.
☟︎ 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: btw, you have any exposure to the racing cars social millieu ?
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: "badly built house walls fall because people let them ; and when the "stop" letting them by starting propping them up, they stop falling"
mircea_popescu: the point re why the fuck does everything have to degrate stupidly is what's complicated about this.
mircea_popescu: which is a serious point of alarm in my head at this juncture.
mircea_popescu: because optimizations. which may piss you off, but it'll be done anyway ; and the process MUCHLY reminds me of how bitcoin mining degraded irl.
mircea_popescu: the sadness here is that indeed tmsr-rsa is turning into separate item from p itself.
mircea_popescu: so, want a frog you can kiss into housekeeper&cocksucker all you want, for all the good'll do ye.
mircea_popescu: most of which are verboten by the whole "mechanism" view of things.
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: at any rate if you put an order for keys they'll be relieved. "really, not pens for once ?! holy shit this is the most exciting this job ever got"
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.
mircea_popescu: and then after you start using it people fight for it and there.
mircea_popescu: besides, you won't make one, you'll make say 100. because fuck it.
mircea_popescu: superficially it seems like omfg lotta money ; but not so bad. people can afford to make eg icecube trays that retail for 3 bux ie cost a quarter each. how many of those sell ? 10k if you're lucky.
mircea_popescu: the people you linked re "here is what dbl injection is" will actually do exactly that for you, also. it's not THAT expensive.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform because "stainless steel kbd" is an entertainingly stupid notion ; and what's more it's pecularly stupid in the way your stupid works, i can see it relate to the "fuck you guise, ima live on a boat" and so on. spherical cow sorta approach.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes, you first inlay then shape. this is how it's done.
mircea_popescu: and also it's not a matter of " THIS crackpottery of mine - you lot find interesting, but the stubborn boojum". it's a matter of you being more hysterically terrible ad kbd design than at p design.
mircea_popescu: there are wood painted icons survived fine (ie, no cracks in cunt mary's face) for 1k years.
mircea_popescu: nevermind the rolex. and nevermind "humidity" bs, wood is not pine.
mircea_popescu: dude get out, every shape can be made out of wood cheaper and faster than ~any other way except for ABS injection.
mircea_popescu: i'd still take silver myself, if i were doing "metal kbd". not that i would.
mircea_popescu: anyway, doesn't mix well with other metals is its main thing.
