mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i am a being of ~pure energy, my presence is chiefly nonphysical!
mircea_popescu: nfi why the italians went to the us and to argentina, the socialist shitholes at the two ends of the continent.
mircea_popescu: trinque should have gone to mexico. hierarchy does fine.
mircea_popescu suspects "looking european" is simply a placeholder for "looking like your entire fambly didn't starve since the day it was invented"
mircea_popescu: fuck, the chinese are starting to look european from behind.
mircea_popescu: the only problem with such improvement is that the notion that "we shouldn't hafta die" becomes universal and then therefore...
mircea_popescu: anyway, there's a reason every army prefers the enemy kill its infantry than it's officers -- and it's also how war improves the population.
mircea_popescu: kinda what the russians were trying to do to the polish, re katyn etc.
mircea_popescu: so it's rather nonsensical to say "blacks are dumb". if you spend a century killing the humans, you'll be left with mostly cows.
mircea_popescu: the interplay between biological (ie, headcount) and political (ie, powerspeech count) domination in the hucow herd is ~the whole of history, anthropology, sociology etc.
mircea_popescu: im not sure there is such a thing as a tribal type. basically any group of hucows has some humans and some cows mixed in. what you call "tribal types" is where cows are biologically dominant. cultivate the population for a few generations, it's just as capable to northern italy 15cento as northern italy itself. which, if you decultivate for a few generations...etc.
mircea_popescu: only known similar example being soviet union. stalin - also elected. except rosas didn't actually behead his own lieutenants or all thje rest of the nonsense associated with stalinism. which is why they never fucking mention him.
mircea_popescu: trinque very much indigenous. see rosas, for instance. guy is EXACTLY a "bad tyrant" by the "our democracy" bestiary ; was ELECTED. with genuine majority.
mircea_popescu: ALSO a fine example of the whole "happy while in denial"
mircea_popescu: anyway, working great for them, soberania & argentina no es un pais pobre ftw. meanwhile they ain't got two empanadas to rub together and uni profs are buying socks on credit.
mircea_popescu: like chickens going prrrrr prrrr in their coop at night.
mircea_popescu: literally, there's some words in pre-glued structures that must be emitted with specified frequency or they get uncomfortable.
mircea_popescu: trinque it's somewhat unlike, in that it's a very specific stupidity, alligned, coherent. SASER if you will.
mircea_popescu: they got this narrative, that gotta be spun, that's the public activity.
mircea_popescu: total romania 1990, they attempt to steal the mic to talk about themselves.
mircea_popescu: for as long as your antecessors accumulated fat lasts, you can pretend. after which, welcome to jobbagy, and complain to my asshole about "the unfairness of it all".
mircea_popescu: and there is no rhetorical flourish in the above ; it is exact and correctly descriptive.
mircea_popescu: that process has turned a country which cca 1950 was in the top 5, ABOVE CANADA, into something struggling to not be overtaken by the gabon.
mircea_popescu: suuure it can. and that total psychopath mp, how he beheads people for NO REASON!!!!
mircea_popescu: oh, #trilema ? whatever, let me just finish "correcting" these wikipedia articles. #trilema can wait.
mircea_popescu: and it goes the same everywhere. hurr durr i'm poor but i trhink i;m smart. and i want bitcoin. mp made eulora ? you knopw what ? i'll fuck around with nothing in particular, see what uppity tortilla is going, there's plenty of time. mp will be around forever!!1
mircea_popescu: it's so fucking amusing to me, how derps always pretend like they got all the optionality and all the time in the world. hurr durr i'm some random chick, almost hot, almost smart ? clearly i don't have to jump on this guy the moment i see him. nah, let time pass, let me "figure things out", he'll still be here. then get all butthurt when "that slut" did EXACTLY what subs shopuld be doing. "omg she just jumped on him started t
mircea_popescu: by your very loose... standards, latrine on cartwheels may qualify for "intercontinental travel ability"
mircea_popescu: might not want to anchor prototype / example implementations too deeply too soon ; but that has ntohing to do with linking.
mircea_popescu: the stopping of talking in the tardsgroup is never suspicious. they talk at the margins, as per the "gotta say unsaid things" heuristic.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the sort of thing one's not well advised to stop trying even should he succeed.
mircea_popescu: it's so easy to make perfectly balanced faux entropy, only some very inept usg-ians would use anything else.
mircea_popescu: the problem hgere is : you are guarding the wife's door rather than her cunt. she dun need to use the door.
mircea_popescu: in this sense ~all of the dieharder tests do produce one implicitly.
mircea_popescu: i suppose distributions is the sane way to go about this. study if taking byte as 3 gives uneven distribution as opposed to taking byte as 8, say.
mircea_popescu: again, irrational numbers are the problem. pix+e is not "algebraic" in this sense.
mircea_popescu: do you want it to miss most cases, or do you want it to not miss most cases ?
mircea_popescu: but this is not what you're asking, for a test that sometimes finds something, is it.
mircea_popescu: the problem is thge swet of possibly existing failures is transfinite or some shit
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform otherwise, the presence of "whitening" is conversely the statement of the impossibility of proper "ent"
mircea_popescu: i keep waiting for one of these actually doing it properly : rubbing self with thyme and stuffing bacon in the cuts.
mircea_popescu: because i've had it explaining this in private : yes
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-19#1659420 goes to 1. for the same money, f(x) = 1/n^x g(x) = 1/x converge to 1/n, which is any arbitrary value (including 0 when n=x so f(x) = 1/x^x. nfi why this isn't evident, but anyway.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: can trivially show this is weaker than " return an ~algo~ for attempting a better-than-chance prediction".
☟︎ mircea_popescu: moreover, even something as simple as "discern if bitstream X is a linear function with an irrational parameter" is beyond what can be established.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the problem is insoluble and dieharder/ent/etc are fundamentally braindamaged. there's no way to avoid the "give it a large enough sample it'll show 100%" problem specifically because there's no such thing as random bitstream.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i am shocked by this impredictable turn of events. really, he who hasn't and wishes he had will talk of futurez ?
mircea_popescu: every two bit tramp with a plan wants to prepare my pie for "the future".
mircea_popescu: fun fact : 10 decimal precise latitudes indicate ~micrometers.
mircea_popescu: i wonder if the 10th 9 in that latitude figure is correct, or was it really an 8.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyone ever saw baby falcon fuck around the ground like a turkey ? no ? DIDNT THINK SO! HA-HAH!
mircea_popescu: oh and in other items to make haters sad : went for mountain hike yest. we got so high, we actually went past a BABY FALCON that was learning how to fly.
