trinque: funkenstein
_: you're making giant leaps
trinque: funkenstein
_ | you might as well ask how you make anyone care about what happens to themselves << no, this is automatic for me
trinque: ascii
_field: dunno the answer, but the question would be how you increase the visibility of the problem to those that have resources to fund the thing, but don't currently care
trinque: ascii
_field: sounds like the kind of thing you'd need an arms race and a benefactor on one side to produce
trinque: ascii
_field: yeah, plus maybe signing away certain rights to what you produce? (I'd hope not, but it's common)
trinque: ascii
_field: my observation is that very intelligent people often overlook lower hanging fruit because it's uninteresting
trinque: ascii
_field: so corporatize the "chumpatron", not the lab, and own both
trinque: ascii
_field: re: earlier thread, seems like it calls for a lab attached to a (perhaps unrelated) other business
assbot: Logged on 07-04-2015 00:10:01; mircea
_popescu: just like having a car doesn't alow having gasoline. it's true that often people who have cars also independently have gasoline, but the two are fundamentally unrelated, and there is such a thing as the fool's breakdown, ie, car's outta gas on the side of hte road.
Chillum: mircea
_popescu: gold, silver, equipment
gabriel_laddel: ascii
_field: I'll note that without comprehensive design documents others have to retrace your steps entirely and anyone who is a fan of your work is running on grey goo pipe dreams.
mircea_popescu: ascii
_field> and i could have easily built all of this by 25 y.o. <<
ascii_field: mircea
_popescu: largely because i am not mircea
_popescu and not in control of the variables.
ascii_field: mircea
_popescu: what'd you have it do << a number of things, which resolve to 'the contents ending up where needed by dependency-graph without being asked every time'
ascii_field: gabriel
_laddel: could do -something- but not -something worth doing-
gabriel_laddel: ascii
_field: o. I thought that you could if they have an entirely known design?
ascii_field: gabriel
_laddel: not exactly. even if you could secure an infinite supply of the particular fpga, it turns out that they are not actually very general. in that you cannot efficiently implement muller c-gates in them.
gabriel_laddel: ascii
_field: iirc your argument was "it isn't worthwhile because if you succeed you'll not have enough of them to do anything interesting with"
mircea_popescu: gabriel
_laddel for one thing, natural languages can not be modelled in terms of computer langs.
ascii_field: gabriel
_laddel: to avoid rehashing ancient thread for a fifth time, stuck at the realization that reversing xilinx is futile.
ascii_field: gabriel
_laddel: don't delude yourself that you are doing 'it'
gabriel_laddel: ascii
_field: we've already discussed this. I'm for doing it piecemeal because there are no other options.
ascii_field: gabriel
_laddel: the type of funding necessary cannot be 'found'
gabriel_laddel: ascii
_field: Sometime in the next 48 hours I'm going to drop some information in here regarding the #b-a distro, and when finished with that move on to finding funding again.
gabriel_laddel: mircea
_popescu: actually, re-reading your last message - isn't that really an argument against abstraction period?
gabriel_laddel: ^ I never would have thought of presentation systems unless I happened upon ascii
_field's blog.
gabriel_laddel: mircea
_popescu: nonsene. We know any programming language that doesn't allow the operator to manipulate its own ast programmatically is going to waste the operator's time.
mircea_popescu: gabriel
_laddel you're on very slippery ice sheet there. i'll save you the egg and point out that you can't form an apriori representation of why X model is no good.
gabriel_laddel: mircea
_popescu: learning latin is very different from learning $random-african-grunt-lang
ascii_field: gabriel
_laddel: there is also such a thing as the mental equivalent of stretched arse-rape sphincter
gabriel_laddel: ascii
_field: it is palpable. << Yep. Let's say, for example that you learn perl. Nothing you learn has any use outside of... writing perl. If you learn javascript, java, C++, scala etc. idem. The web and these related "technologies" are going away. All of the effort poured into learning them is wasted.
mircea_popescu: ascii
_field that gets extremely easier once you fuck his gf. you notice the subtle difference between the same object as he perceives it, and as it is.
mircea_popescu: ben
_vulpes much deeper than that. like "i readily see THE REAL REASON this is so, so i can skip eighteen paragraphs worth of confused "explicatory" nonsense
mircea_popescu: depends ben
_vulpes. the problem chiefly is that as the mental models get much better, learning speed collapses.
ben_vulpes: mircea
_popescu: is there a difference between how smart/dumb one is and how quickly or slowly one learns?
ascii_field: ben
_vulpes: how much did you age from 22-25 ?
ascii_field: mircea
_popescu: why do you suppose i'm not there
ascii_field: mircea
_popescu: the other fella lost his key
mircea_popescu: ascii
_field btw, how about you get them personal friends in the wot and start a something.
ascii_field: mike
_c: what i did before, was entirely else - high-performance computing for chemical modelling
mircea_popescu: ascii
_field your problem is that you're premarket in that.
ascii_field: mircea
_popescu: it will make more sense if i reveal that
mircea_popescu: ascii
_field so this would be in demand either a) by the nsa or else b) independent work a la s.nsa
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ascii
_field "here's this binary, find out what it does" ?
ben_vulpes: ascii
_field: doesn't want to "work". he wants to "think".
ascii_field: mike
_c: 'we have xxxxx and have not the slightest idea what to do about it'
mircea_popescu: mike
_c it's very dissonant for me because he seems to come from this place where exactly the opposite of what i see is true. backwards world of alf.
ascii_field: mike
_c: entirely not the profession i was speaking of.
mircea_popescu: ascii
_field that there is no serious demand for highly skilled computerizers
ascii_field: let's narrow down -which- particular thing mircea
_popescu is unconvinced by, before i answer
ascii_field: mircea
_popescu: not if 'arse covering' works as well as 'secure'
ascii_field: mircea
_popescu: it is not untrue, unfortunately
ascii_field: mircea
_popescu: feel free to recycle it into your next mega-article if you feel like
ascii_field: mircea
_popescu: don't get me wrong, i shall write again. and yes - for the archaeologists, as before. but presently cut among 1) dayjob 2) s.nsa 3) sleep,eat,...,write
mircea_popescu: ascii
_field you know you really should blog/link these things. srsly.
ascii_field: but it could almost have been written by mircea
_popescu ...

_field guy is very talented at basically anna nicole smith's job.
ascii_field: mircea
_popescu: the boys are biologically equipped only to be cannon fodder, really
