mircea_popescu: totally worth writing a biography, "l. conway - from reality to convention. a life."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know i've been thinking about the conway thing. it's nigh on fascinating, a perfect case of "aging engineer falls into female culture" to use the terminology of http://trilema.com/2017/menstruation-lulz/
mircea_popescu: and in other vintage, https://68.media.tumblr.com/59dee5b0fa46082499c5aea2a0dee150/tumblr_omaxhcNpvk1vvow1po1_1280.jpg

mircea_popescu: cca 2003.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform as per link, "RAGE ON THE RIGHT A rage is growing on the right. Before it is done, untold numbers of men and women may have to die, casualties in America's ongoing culture wars. By Mark Potok, Editor, SPLC Intelligence Report".
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron it's funny how there's always a "we" ; and it's also funny the thing's always structured in the same manner. brings to mind say http://trilema.com/2013/in-which-i-discuss-things-i-have-no-idea-about/ ☟︎
mircea_popescu: all in all, the whole conway/bailey pile of shenanigans is a fine de-facto blueprint of "activism" of the ilk every idle nobody and her star-sister's trying to engage in.
mircea_popescu: aaaahahaha, guess who was invovled! http://ai.eecs.umich.edu/people/conway/TS/SPLC/SPLC-IR.html << our good friends at state-funded kgb outreach!
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in titillation today, http://68.media.tumblr.com/d60bb13709bf3c22d64d7701da9e0d40/tumblr_oogy83tEbk1sh9c67o1_1280.jpg
mircea_popescu: alibaba ?!
mircea_popescu: you might be able to buy pre-made bricks on chinazon
mircea_popescu: dude, pet is like 50 bucks a ton, buy a ton.
mircea_popescu: see you tomorro!
mircea_popescu: azn stuff afaik
mircea_popescu: i've no idea, not much of a fan
mircea_popescu: "trees" in the sense that at the root of certain oak trees.
mircea_popescu: in mud, what.
mircea_popescu: in where ?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes you know how truffles are made ?
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, it rained so densely here antennas couldn't see each other half mile away.
mircea_popescu: sold by the 100k ballots. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-19#1646282 << you can get feeder plastic, what. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes crickets are supposedly delicacy, yoiu can get them chocolate covered or with nuts.
mircea_popescu: lol!
mircea_popescu: at odds with reality.
mircea_popescu: i guess this is why sci-fi is pulp rather than literature.
mircea_popescu: pity, the anti-ram stick had such great sci-fi power.
mircea_popescu: there is that.
mircea_popescu: then again i did no math for this expect.
mircea_popescu: anyway, run it at 70 C or so, i expect electron cloud will just eat it up, no crystal lattice deffects induced
mircea_popescu: so ? PERSONALIZED!
mircea_popescu: i hear drupal has a library for it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that can be done in software
mircea_popescu: anti-ecc ram. "we guarantee no bits can be read as they were stored!"
mircea_popescu: nah, just make ram stick with lyso instead of doped si, then read it normally.
mircea_popescu: that'd be the ultimate rng pump. "We have this array of matter -- think memory stick. at every given tick, each either decays or doesn't. tick here has no physical meaning, it can be shorter than measurable irrespective of measuring mechanism"
mircea_popescu: well, 6.023e23 rite.
mircea_popescu: and that's 90s dollars.
mircea_popescu: last time i looked at this it wouldn've been 1k+
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's actuyally cheap
mircea_popescu: ;/
mircea_popescu: this without prejudice or anything.
mircea_popescu: i'm not proposing you should do anything. i am pointing out a mechanism you describe is a) part dreamdust and b) not workyirl.
mircea_popescu: nah.
mircea_popescu: ie, in tl;dr terms : shooting for an inexistent crime the only politician who provably did not engage in it this century.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-19#1646126 << this, incidentally, is SHOCKINGLY false. when polling the rat in the box, his clue as to how the empire is being run is very very nil. i get this is counterintuitive, but get this : romanians thought the same "common sense" nonsense and ended up with http://trilema.com/2011/procesul-ceausescu/ ☝︎
mircea_popescu: aha.
mircea_popescu: (this is not necessarily speaking of catastrophe -- humans are much more likely to progressively mutilate themselves into unrecognizability than to just extinct)
mircea_popescu: point of fact, they prolly made it for longer than humans will.
mircea_popescu: oldest mammal line.
mircea_popescu: "except when he doesn't" "well yeah."
mircea_popescu: in the sense computer "is deterministic machine", so is human brain. "oh OF COURSE he'll get out of rain, what!"
mircea_popescu: neh.
mircea_popescu: but perhaps now you earn some respect for my bottled mouse!
mircea_popescu: only reason asciilifeform finds squirrels cleverness suprising is because he himself is shockingly sheltered.
mircea_popescu: (spelling intentional)
mircea_popescu: and don't open the pandora's box of "imagine" lest you fall under a hail of arrows wrt irl "alternatives" in compouting.
mircea_popescu: no, but it gives you enough sense to not write your minesweeper applet in such a way as to import netbase.
mircea_popescu: of course there's alternative. what the fuck do you suppose a classical education is for ?
mircea_popescu: this is what the psychology crowd wants to sell, at any rate.
mircea_popescu: it does!
mircea_popescu: you know, http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-18#1645769 on my system outputs "to an extent yes" ☝︎
mircea_popescu: and btw, "to an extent" == "new jersey method!!"
mircea_popescu: can't reference variables not declared in your scope, alfie!
mircea_popescu: oh, we're assuming you'd be privy to that ? "how he runs it" is a box open to your inspection ?
mircea_popescu: moreover here's a different spot of trouble -- suppose a-friend-who-is-not-me has the remarkable bad fortune of beign crowned/acclaimed god-emperor of everything. did thereby his previous a-ok "long hand" now become a very unok "empire" and consequently he's supposed to do what ? leave them behind and move over to washington to be trumped ? or how's the logic here work.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i suppose this is then the root of difference.
mircea_popescu: (the "our democracy" religious-science needed some weird.)(
mircea_popescu: so the 1k or so transgender freaks got a seat at the table, mostly for religious reasons
mircea_popescu: 2004, you recall, wash bush, and a very power hungry and not yet paintsuited abomination running up and down the country trying to create some sort of "future democrat alliance"
mircea_popescu: or whatever they called that low rent ny pub where faggots for the first time fought back against the pigs.
mircea_popescu: at the time -- this was no empire. it's more or less the transgender stonewall inn moment
mircea_popescu: this is a valid point -- except note that lynn's excuised by it.
mircea_popescu: ah.
mircea_popescu: i can see all sorts of differences. which one do you say is controlling here ?
mircea_popescu: why would i shoot him with own hands.
mircea_popescu: oh. i didn't mean i personally shoot him. i just mean you know, he gets shot.
mircea_popescu: how do you distinguish ?
mircea_popescu: after all, every european ALSO had a concept of that.
mircea_popescu: and if tomorrow i get in an argument with some idiot and shoot him, will you be all "dude, you shouldn't shoot people" ?
mircea_popescu: yes, i'm aware there's a something awful that twenty years ago used to be a sort of cat-v for socialist tards etcetera. yes i'm aware the "climate science" pseudoscientards had some mailing list they coordinated their nonsense on etc.
mircea_popescu: yes, but you also are mixing in a personal "kgb == gender activism in the us", which...
mircea_popescu: well yes, this much we had half hour ago. the whys dun seem to be working out too well though.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if you're serious you'll have no more or less reason than you had before. of course you'll doubt, what is this.
mircea_popescu: no. i will fuck five dollar crack whores every time i feel like it.
mircea_popescu: a world where "the superior with the superior and the inferior with the inferior" is the ideal female world of flat hierarchy.
mircea_popescu: "si quis, inquis, dives est" is all about that.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the superior can not be discredited from engaging the inferior on his own terms ; because THE ONLY POINT of superiority is that the superior gets to choose whether to superior or inferior, whereas the inferior gets no such choice, but must inferior.
mircea_popescu: this discreditation theory is what well-meaning old jewish women teach entirely useless jewish boys, for the purpose of having jewish girls running around naked.
mircea_popescu: suppose we're at cinema and crack whore walks by. if i fuck her, discredited ? suppose crack whore's son/father/husband walks by and i crack him one, for some reason or no reason at all. discredited ?
