mircea_popescu: romania was never
as broke
as in the 90s, at least not since the 30s. and it never in its history gave
as good answers to fundamental problems.
mircea_popescu: i very much doubt it was "brejnev's bean counters" that told soviet man to be stupid ; much
as i doubt it was ceausescu who told morons to be morons, and IGNORE 16 months of their own life because "didn't sign up for this", and not eat the fucking fish because "how dares owner think of us
as cattle when that's exactly what we are", and so on.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this concept of "amortize"
as you use here is EXACTLY of the nature of brejnev's economic thinking
mircea_popescu: so, you know, "
as the 70s dawned, russian man came to this weird personal belief that he who thinks last wins". i suppose in a sense could be abomb-psychosis driven.
mircea_popescu: so i suppose topical : that sounds like a story she's happy to have missed.
AS LARVA.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile at the retard farms, LordMPofTMSR "Not even kidding." Lola_25 "Umm... what?" LordMPofTMSR "Think of it
as an intelligence test. That you're failing." Lola_25 "Great! It seems like a quiz that I'm happy to fail" LordMPofTMSR "You failed everything to date, what "happy". You're happy like the chair's "happy" it can't walk : since it can not walk anyway... Now get lost."
☟︎ lobbes: danielpbarron: fwiw my pizarro rockchip has served me well thus far
as a home for both auctionbot and for mp-wp. Hell, you could run a mirror for your church's www in the event it goes down AND host the poker bot
a111: Logged on 2018-08-01 22:03 mircea_popescu: there is no such thing
as data that is all three of 1) random ; 2) useful and 3) buffered.
danielpbarron:
as for me, there is the poker bot that i haven't done yet, but i don't know that it needs its own whole machine
a111: Logged on 2018-12-01 00:43 asciilifeform: from looking with the right magnifying glass, asciilifeform formed distinct impression that jp was raped by usg in erry hole not once,
as ordinarily supposed, but ~twice~.
mircea_popescu: \
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-30#1876891 << kinda the problem, this is how airports end up owning a fleet of eg iceploughs : "we only need them 3 days each decade -- but
as it happens it's always the exact fucking three day you can't possibly fucking find one to rent, of these items that otherwise go for 500 a day."
☝︎ amberglint: he also tries to sell it
as a GTA and Doom machine
amberglint: the Elbrus designers can count
as native, no?
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> sounds approx
as appealing
as krokodil << Use is pretty much exclusive to pichis and children
BingoBoingo: Apartments of the same or smaller size
as Pizarro habitation module have a list price of ~100,000 USD even for sale. Rent for 14,500 to 16,000 pesos.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> prolly oughta add that surplus SEM in particular ( and similar irons ) 1) generally live in usa 2) dun exactly fit in smuggle-trunk under old shirts << If you can produce an invoice I can recieve it
as a prepackaged good
mircea_popescu: (this is not strictly about jpg. ~any~ image compressing/processing/fucking with the sensor data is dubious. even using such a thing
as the camera's "soft" focus (
as opposed to the lens-driven hard focus, some handhelds offer this internal processor-driven cvasi-focus) is a bad idea for this task. exact discussion of "whitening" and other such pattern-inserting nonsense from crypto)
mircea_popescu: the idea being that there's an absolute limit to optical microscopy due to quantum phenomena (hence the heisenberg reference, his original work
as critiqued by bohr dealt exactly with this). however, these limits also depend on frequency, and from comparing measurements in different lights one can get some error correction.
mircea_popescu: yes -- nevertheless, it'd actually make fucking sense,
as opposed to prayer-driven methodology.
SeanRiddle: I'm taking jpgs with the camera and then stitching those with fiji. It looks
as good to me
as using RAW, but a lot easier.
zx2c4: i think in crypto most people refer to it
as "verification"
zx2c4: oh. yea,
as i said, they're mostly just tools
zx2c4: more seriously, if you're mostly after small computer programs to help you out when exploring a field but eventually do the proof by hand, z3 and sage wind up being super practical
as day to day work horses
zx2c4: well,
as it turns out, coq had some amazing fallacy in its core code a few years back resulting in the ability to prove any statement true...
zx2c4: I agree with you in spirit -- I think learning details of a proof enough that you have all of it in your head is a good pedagogical approach and gives you more mathematical agility
as you progress forward. I just don't know about the ontological statement regarding the proof's validity
zx2c4: > At this time we will walk through the mechanics of our Karatsuba multiplier, so
as to cement in the reader’s head the correctness of the routine, and lay groundwork for the optimization which is introduced in Ch. 12B.
zx2c4: I more or less know the process involved but don't have all of the steps in my head. And
as I wrote it down, I forget the details of previously written steps while working out current new steps. Yet I have faith in the process of writing it down systematically and having intermediate results from pages prior
zx2c4: Oh, I mean, if you're willing to allow for anybody's head (
as i presume you mean by mentioning ~whose~ head), then you just posit an incredible genius
zx2c4: Not all math is
as simple
as Elements
zx2c4: But it turns out now all things are so easily provable
as such

as a matter of fact, is IS a conclusion i can jump to trivially. because your supposed 'person' is actually a nameless cockroach beneath my feet. because he is not in the wot, and thereby not distinguishable from the 90000..+ faux 'humans' usg manufactures on daily basis to further its psyops.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-29 22:50 asciilifeform: ( observe -- sans agression, the moar reliable is your hosting, the ~more~ certain your noad is to get perma-wedged,
as it'll never reboot and never satisfy shitoshi's 'catch up only on cold boot' idjit condition.. )
diana_coman: that's fine, note that my feedback is given
as I read them so without actual knowledge of what happens later/where exactly they are used
a111: Logged on 2018-10-25 19:15 asciilifeform: at the risk of repeating ancient thread -- 'the best machine is no machine', it weighs nuffin, needs no maintenance. and the best proggy, is no proggy at all, if a problem can be solved without writing proggy, it ought to be. erry line of coad can be rightfully pictured
as an act of intellectual littering. y'know, like throwing cig butt or bottle on the ground in the park.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-29 17:08 asciilifeform: it's unfortunate that mircea_popescu is asleep right nao, otherwise he could tell us about how we're idjits and how working for living is for lusers, and how troo hero can run on sunlight and do
as he pleases
Mocky:
as long
as I still had kids at home, never tried to get out
Mocky: i can't even complain, i ended up with exactly what I wanted
as a 20yo, "write software, have a lot of kids"
a111: Logged on 2017-06-05 19:09 asciilifeform: it is interesting how phrase 'life savings' already has an archaic 'patina coat' -- same flavour
as 'workhouse', 'savings & loan', 'joint stock'
a111: Logged on 2018-11-28 01:31 mircea_popescu: i never heard before of some guy who CAN live independently, moving to rural shithole to not be bothered, and then having ~same to show for a year of his life
as mod6. at least that dood is holding down a job and a coupla kids meanwhile.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-28 18:14 asciilifeform: phf: imho the ultimate bolix caper would be to rack a coupla working clones at pizarro & rent'em out. but admittedly this is , presently, nearly
as far
as the moon
a111: Logged on 2018-11-01 17:43 mircea_popescu: looky, the past 3 days' work could have been done just
as well in 2015
as today.
