mircea_popescu: yeah. for one
thing i ran out of films ; and for
the other as i said, i made a server, checking out what i got on it.
mircea_popescu: i'm not even sure it's on
the same line. modern folkx err
through absence.
mircea_popescu: i don't as much as fuck girls without backup, stottin' had
to handle radionuclide resonant chamber. gimme break.
mircea_popescu: nobody asks moron sysadmin
to work with rm -y as default either
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nobody asked him
to fuck with be sphere with screwdriver
a111: Logged on 2016-12-21 18:48 asciilifeform: 'aristotle: your postulates are just as circular!' 'asciilifeform: i made a working diode from
things i dug up' 'aristotle: you just got lucky'
PeterL: so
the
thing you want, would it replicate all of gpg functionality (making
them compatible), or would a separate, simpler
thing be good (just does encryp/decrypt and sign/verify using rsa)?
mircea_popescu: inexplicably enough, SIX months later
that imminent need's still not burning my ass. nfi.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-28 15:57 mircea_popescu: ave1 you should ; also read
through
the eucrypt
thing, ima (for instance) need someone
to package it into a cmd line gpg replacement as soon as next wek.
mircea_popescu: well no, i'm sure it's
there, just, i also don't currently know exactly how it works.
though in my case could be for lack of caring, i haven't been doing any building in 15 years +
PeterL: sorry if I misunderstood, but it sounded like asciilifeform was saying
that questions like
this are not answerable by anybody
mircea_popescu: the bitch is --
they aren't able
to answer all questions.
mircea_popescu: i agree,
the people who study subjects should be able
to answer questions in subjects.
PeterL: well, I am not materials science expert, but
those who study
the subject should be able
to explain "if I add a bit more of $element,
the properties of
the material will go $direction"
mircea_popescu: otherwise yes, we've both noticed (and for a long
time!)
that sunsets and sunrises color
the sky.
took a WHILE
to explain
the fucking why.
mircea_popescu: "i have
this inorganic polymerization model which permits me
to predict
the behaviour of calcium-based matrices and also predicts
that should you replace
the calcium with strontium,
the oxigen content cvadruples ans
there's need for an item extra in
there
that's just like aluminum for so and so reasons"
☟︎ PeterL: biochemistry, mumble mumble, binding
to receptors causing chain reaction cascade of molecular processes, er, sumthin
mircea_popescu: to
take a practical
tack : why is CaO matrix and SrAl2O4 matrix for strontium cement ?
mircea_popescu: consider
the case of paracetamol. "it
takes body
to cooler end state". yes, it does. how ?
PeterL: process, you mean like how
the oxygens migrate
through
the mixture?
a111: Logged on 2018-09-10 16:53 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: by
the 'to your eyes' standard -- i dun
think i own any artifacts
that work
to any other standard. even cement block -- we do not presently know precisely why cement hardens.
mircea_popescu: the biathlonists who fail are not
thereby horse jockeys.
mircea_popescu: so in
this sense charles is deposed and mp is not deposed. does
this change anything ?
mircea_popescu: derps wander in here all
the
time, "were's mp's mandate-from-the-people" ? seems it's enough of a divide
to divide even
today.
mircea_popescu: charles was of
the idea
that he has
the authority
to rule as a
thing of his own ;
the unitarians were of
the idea
that "supreme executive power exudes from a mandate from
the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony"
mircea_popescu: i don't get how
the necessary situation whereby conflict will follow age gap somehow changes what
the conflict is about.
mircea_popescu: not like i'm saying it muyst fit ; or
that i expect or i expect anyone expects history
to be a neat didactic work for
the benefit of future livers.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-14 21:23 mircea_popescu: same way
the same exact item opened cannon fire at
the "taxpayers" from atop
the walls of oxford.
mircea_popescu: this, and
this only, is
the way
to prevent "tech becoming unrepeatable". it helps, of course,
to have some
tech in
the first place ; but
these are separate discussions -- fridge is how
to preserve food, whether you have any food or not.
mircea_popescu: this is utter insanity. you don't need, or want, or ever seek "mom's" permission
to fuck
the daugther. not yours ; not hers ; at
the slightest provocation it gets burned down, and
the ashes dumped in cloaca maxima.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-14 23:05 mircea_popescu: and existence is predicated on intelligence, and mit never had one. it's just a humongous pile of printed dollars,
the us-style equivalent of
the chinese "sovereign funds".
a111: Logged on 2017-04-09 23:02 phf: asciilifeform:
true king is a later invention, actual process is "choose king amongst yourself", and failure
to do so is stupidity
a111: Logged on 2018-05-14 23:03 mircea_popescu: doing "the opposite" or "moving
to garage", or anything, ANYTHING WHATSOEVER
that in any way is biased by
the mit is no go.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-14 23:01 mircea_popescu: mit says minksy must use
the color green. minsky ignored. mit spent 500 politruk-hours
to discern whether he even did what
they said or not ; came up with either of
these. minsky still ignored.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-14 22:56 mircea_popescu: out of mit's gear. NOT on mit's
terms. use, you understand me ? use. like a
thing.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and
the answer is exactly
there, "avoid at all costs
this situation where you're not fucking your close social circle"
lobbesbot: asciilifeform:
The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: "but mp -- i am not equipped
to
try for myself!" "then
this isn't a point of interest
to you, is it. why'd you have an opinion on it ?" "because we're
trying
to build an Empire of Science!" "how's
that working out ?" "so far, Republic of Idiots works."
mircea_popescu: that is,
to reconstruct some kind of sybil cake. which is exactly
the "ourdemocracy science" with all
tis hatefax and
toxictruths and whatnot. because once you give up
the proper wot process for some mechanized ersatz you find yourself again in
the primordial mist, unable
to guess where
the landmines are.
mircea_popescu: the point, however, is not
the "replication" itself but what it points
to : "go,
try for yourself".
mircea_popescu: perhaps '
that "replication" is
the schnelling'd-upon point of ~expression~ of literate heuristics is fine and dandy' requires some explanation.
the correct wot-process ("what of x?" "a claims so but i have not found
the same -- go,
try for yourself") was contracted in "failed
to replicate x".
mircea_popescu: it will be, in another generation or
two maybe.
today not yet.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not so, it readily revives in selected young
through simple exposure.
mircea_popescu: all of it, really, all of it is going away. wikipedia is like a manuscript copy of olde books,
that are being "referenced".
the references ever dim, and soon enough
the whole world of literate english will be but a dream
mircea_popescu: no
technology survives as such
the end of
the literate
that borne it.
