asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: cuz it's a discontinuous function.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: rotateable, sure, but not transparent-and-somehow-usefully-opaque
a111: Logged on 2017-07-23 19:38 mircea_popescu: (for the record -- while i do believe that IA (as opposed to ai bullcrap) is both perfectly achievable, in many ways achieved, and the ~only reasonable use of the machine in the first place ; i nevertheless think the problem is catastrophically ill posed in the "you know, like bullzoder" sense. yes there was such an application for digital computers, it is called "the numeric method" and still not widely deployed notwithstand
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: re the gif -- it isn't a full table by any means, only illustration of the arithmetical oddities at work
mod6: mircea_popescu: surely, lemme see what the pricing will be on that.
asciilifeform: i actually have nfi, it could be that this is exactly what mircea_popescu asked .
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu , Mocky , et al ^
mod6: mircea_popescu: mornin! good, you?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: wasn't that the d00d who 'knew too much' re kennedy ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i seem to recall nao that brazil is rich in monazite
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: metals & lanthanides
BingoBoingo: Well, the Argentine pesos fall is a long one which mircea_popescu has helped along. I dunno enough Portuguese to comment on the real beyond Brasileros envying dollar, but especially Euros and Pounds because single units of those are worth more than single units of theirs.
mod6: thanks mircea_popescu!

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Congratultions now she has more work to do!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i thought mpbootcamp began with ro
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the firecracker story ? usenet folklore, yknow, with the 'she killed our medic, the bitch, so we took flare gun...' one
a111: Logged on 2016-07-10 22:04 mircea_popescu: danielpbarron good work. so the practical question here is, would you be personally interested in running a us tmsr church ?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Nice, I will advise when mp-wp is ready for your chattel
mod6: mircea_popescu: nice!
diana_away: mircea_popescu: ugh, I know that "approach" from several students at the uni and they usually even got better marks with most "teachers" because "faster" myeah
diana_away: mircea_popescu: I figured out the motorway exit our taxi took that time when we got there faster than you - it's quite a bit after the Sheraton, it doesn't seem to be marked in any reasonable way; there is only this name carved in greenery on the side as you go "villa real"; on the opposite side it's where it says country club santa ana
diana_away: hi mircea_popescu apparently we timed it perfectly, just got in and then the rain started
a111: Logged on 2018-08-26 16:27 mircea_popescu: sorta like kids in primary school -- no 9yo ever fucked anyone, but if you get 1000 of them together telling each other stories, the general impression ends up that "someone somewhere must've".
a111: Logged on 2018-08-26 17:35 mircea_popescu: basically the whole "conversation" is macro-reimplementation of broke-ass household discussing credit card debt. "this is what we can't have" "but this is what we want" "and it's what we can't have" "which we want" "but can't have" "want"...
asciilifeform: i suspect that not errything comes in canned states, and reality, even in gulag, is slightly moar complicated than the picture suggested by mircea_popescu
a111: Logged on 2018-08-26 17:34 mircea_popescu: but in point of fact, while you zek you're zek! if "real training of real women is too expensive" then NECESSARILY there will be canned end states and "hello pumpklin, this is mother speaking. this is your wife, and this is how your wife should be"
mod6: It just does a 'graceful' mircea_popescu
a111: Logged on 2018-08-26 16:58 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i see the angle of 'if you aint a zek what do you care what the locals think' but 8y is a long time to be stuck inside a border, anywhere. ( and yes i get it, mircea_popescu travels by u-boat and dun need passports. but this is high pilotage. )
a111: Logged on 2018-08-26 17:06 mircea_popescu: btw, most of what "sex games" do these days is "training".
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: loll
mod6: mircea_popescu: I don't think that it does; mearly allows her to ssh into her shared environment. The wp-mp still needs to be configured.
asciilifeform: upstack, re zeks -- mircea_popescu is entirely right, a zek is not simply d00d with 'wrong passport', but pauper with no means of support outside of the gulag ( where he knows how to cut wood, or wash gold nuggets, or whatever, for a bowl of cabbage swill. ) speaking first-hand here. zek is simply folx who are not needed for anyffing anywhere.
a111: Logged on 2018-08-26 14:56 mircea_popescu: they won't let ~me~ bring ~my own slaves~ even. fucking determined to live, these remnants of a world empire.

a111: Logged on 2018-08-16 17:24 mircea_popescu: i don't get it, what;s the rush ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: is one of the answers to the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-16#1842183 thing. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-10-31 22:54 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-31#1731544 << everyone is, as a result of usg militant tardation. i can just drive into brazil. you -- can not. they "banned" turkish visitors, as if anyone from turkey could be arsed to go to the us ; turkey reciprocated, meaning about 70% of classical antiquity is now off limits to what in english passes for "the civilised world".
a111: Logged on 2018-08-23 17:21 mircea_popescu: there's 0 slack on one hand ; and the whole thing is powered on "mistake".
a111: Logged on 2018-08-26 14:56 mircea_popescu: speaking of http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-11#1736154 you know us citizen can't get into turkey for love or money ?
a111: Logged on 2018-07-05 16:40 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform imo this is not even the wrong way ; will not only significantly cheapen our end, but ~all of the enemy hardware will ahve to be replaced, at capital costs far exceeding its current capacities (projected to diminish in the future as they may be)
asciilifeform: mats, mircea_popescu : it doesn't , largely for the reason of needing some place to 'cold side'
asciilifeform: and then mircea_popescu built the ro 'republicans' a house, and they sat and drank tuica for yr+ and 0 result iirc
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: recall the http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-01#1708187 clown ? ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2017-11-11 05:04 mircea_popescu: sooner or later the dorks will understand that until/unless burned down us "embassy" / all ustards coming in detained and shot, there won't be peace.
a111: Logged on 2015-02-20 18:24 mircea_popescu: "Here's one that even The Onion would reject as too blatantly ridiculous: American right-wing radio and TV clown Glenn Beck believes that Sean Smith aka Vile Rat, the EVE Online diplomat who was killed earlier this month during the attack on the US embassy in Benghazi, was actually a CIA agent, relaying communications to his fellow undercover agents at Something Awful."

mod6: mircea_popescu: apologies, we'll sort it out and let you know asap. Once this part is resolved, then we still need to unroll/setup wpmp, but she should at least have access to the host itself.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Very sure ns1.qntra.net and ns2.qntra.net Problem could be unhelpful error message intending to complain the nameserver at present lacks a record for bimbo.club
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: It is indeed.
mod6: mircea_popescu: what domain is she going to be using for wp-mp? (the script needs to know upfront)
mod6: mircea_popescu: actually not sure. i'm pretty unclued on the entire thing.

jurov: mircea_popescu: aok
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: will be also interesting to represent problem geometrically, as paths in this space.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: store as '3d cube' of 1bit 'mix? yes/no'
a111: Logged on 2018-07-22 16:55 mircea_popescu: (something very similar was the original impetuus for mp asking ben_vulpes for candi [where is she btw ?] only to then discover after a whole day of basic-training-with-admirals that in fact the memory footprint for what i had in mind was ~infinite)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu, Mocky , et al : here's a lol : given as there is finite range of Q (minq .. maxq from initial board) and finite range of quantities (1 .. totalcount) , it is possible to enumerate all possible mixes, in a space-for-time trade, to speed up exhaustive search
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu, Mocky , et al : can it be shown that in e.g. 173x+174y=S , x and y are unique ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: puzzler might have all sortsa interesting applications, possibly all the way to e.g. defraggings in a hypothetical trbi
Mocky: mircea_popescu, does ave1's example of stacking down to 7846x173q 1592x177q, actually violate any criteria, despite that it 'could' be stacked further, it could not be stacked down into fewer slots
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu, ave1 , Mocky , et al : http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/JJtFX/?raw=true
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you move into an immiscibility zungzwang, that's how
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: q-1 and q are not the only possible immiscible piles
a111: Logged on 2018-08-25 17:47 mircea_popescu: the addressable quanta here is the single unit, of a specified quality. these are presented in groups (of the same q), and you're asked to reform the "minimal groups", ie, 2 qualities. whether any individual strand belongs in final-group-A or final-groub-B is however ambiguous until you've made the last move (recursive pov, the last move is tha first move, recursion flows backwardsd, like dream states).
a111: Logged on 2018-08-25 17:41 mircea_popescu: Mocky alf's mysterious disappearance promises he saw the problem with his idea :p
a111: Logged on 2018-08-24 18:19 mircea_popescu: specifically, how do i pick among alternatives 1. "all stacks with odd index, left, all stacks with even index, right" and 2. "all stacks under 75 or over 125 left, all stacks within 75 to 125, right" ?
lobbes: mircea_popescu: ohey. good!
mod6: Was kinda thinking that myself mircea_popescu... at least, in concept.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: The latest round appears to already have started
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aha , no randomness in my pill, it converges deterministically
a111: Logged on 2018-08-24 04:04 mircea_popescu: the ~other~ good approach is 1. calculate average quality as a real ; 2. calculate the integer piles of consecutive qualities this reduces to (you'll never get an irrational value through 1, which in itself is a very itneresting lemma) ; 3. try all pile pairs in some (random ?) order for producing either of the two expected qualities.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu : do i need to go on, or has it clicked ?
asciilifeform: wait an' see, i suspect mircea_popescu will like the answ
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's standard microshit turd, 'what files luser has open and to what pos' etc
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i solved yer puzzler, will post sln later today
a111: Logged on 2018-05-22 21:47 mircea_popescu: so far that's even the reason empire crossed the threshold into oblivion ( i'm too lazy to dig up ye olde trilema where i say "state may exist for as long as it so closely mimmicks my will i can't discern it's there, and not one second past that" ) and now must be destroyed. had it had the sense (rather, the capacity) to maintain both forms, i'd nwever have even noticed it, and it could have continued to exist therefore.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> didn't thickasthieves get carpal ? or am i conflating stories ? << Mats has carpal, TAT went terminally comment section butthurt
asciilifeform: then mircea_popescu's proof for this is proof also for $conjecture, lol
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if my conjecture is troo, then you're right
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if it did, it would shed a whole pile for each line of move output
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: do you ? seems like Mocky's proggy doesn't
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: my observation was, the old algo rejects some legal moves (e.g. 4,7 )
a111: Logged on 2018-08-24 00:57 mircea_popescu: also he should have said decorative??? like in those old pot awareness psas.
mod6: mircea_popescu: yeah, go ahead and !!pay 1.2 BTC back to me, and I'll meet ya on eulora to pay you 100mn ECU. Thanks!
asciilifeform: ( if mircea_popescu did, would be interesting to read how )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: right! but how to evaluate F(qa,qb) without iterating through all possible na,nb.
a111: Logged on 2018-08-24 00:20 asciilifeform: Mocky, mircea_popescu , diana_away , et al : anybody find closed form for 'q1 and q2 miscible or not' ? all i have is Na(Qa - k) + Nb(Qb - k) = 0, for 1<=Na<=size(pileA), 1<=Nb<=size(pileB), integer k exists , but no better
mod6: mircea_popescu: Alright, sorry to keep you waiting here. I'd say Pizarro is fine to hang on to ECU if we can try again in the next say, 60 days. This would eliminate the step of having to buy ECU (which clearly isn't a problem anyway). Otherwise, you can just !!pay. Amount was 1.1bn ECU. I originally bought 1.2bn from dpb, and I was going to hold the remaining 100mn until the end of the year, unless we
