mircea_popescu: this, incidentally, is how the middle class ended up poor : "a) we are living above our means and headed for bankruptcy, but b) our means are so disproportionate to our living by now that attempting to live within our means can not be called living!!1"
mircea_popescu: defeating a does not mean i'll now accept b, the whole fucking point is to extirpate the empire of stupid, not to drive in one branch by the measure driving the other out.
mircea_popescu: that thing is of two parts : a) broke your house and b) there's nothing else.
mircea_popescu: it's not like genuine science isn't made by genuine scientists. the pretense to the contrary is the other half of the scum delusion. cannonically "you have no option BUT to build raft out of lcd".
mircea_popescu: eg the one in fundamental physics i quoted above does include.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the most this'll do is make feynman more dubious, not the anti-principle more acceptable.
mircea_popescu: it's a well chosen example. he might well not have. because "o noes, laws".
mircea_popescu: (for they who don't know, bologna is how you say baloney.)
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-05#1637792 << this for the record is quite false. there's a lot of research published, up until when the "our democracy" imbeciles saw themselves in the position of "running things" and they came up with the current pseudo-academic nonsense. i suppose "bologna system" +- a decade or two.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: yeah. well, it got force-published once, to much "unhappened" hangwringing and posturing.
mircea_popescu: eh, people get actual climate datasets all the time, end up exposing "data regularization" in the sense of "our definition of average ocean temperature is = largest measured +3, wut, problem??" it gets reported, people who can think read, people who can't think upvote each other on hn, etc.
mircea_popescu: not a matter of some grandstanding oughts here. very cold calculation, it just dun pay. ymmv.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger not like you have to, ever. for as long as you find it pays for you, by all means.
mircea_popescu: "oh, we said we were a replication -- just, not of the right thing!" , typical americana "this will hold until someone looks at it". from the legal system to everywhere else, country's chock full of that hopeful nonsense.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger how the forklet of frauds is constructed exactly is of no interest. yes they keep coming up with mealy-mouthed ways to try and hide the fact that they';re dishonest. fine.
mircea_popescu: so it's not like i'm discussing "isolated incident". there's a very well established pattern of dishonest behaviour. not just at princeton, either.
mircea_popescu: of course replicating experiments are done all the time ; the important point being that they didn't identify theirs as such.
mircea_popescu: and since we're discussion princeton : i wasn't going to say anything (which is why i didn't back then), but when some guy found metallic H ( see
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-17#1628809 ) princeton idiots came with a replicating experiment and have been trying to replace the original author with themselves ever since. which is just about as shameful.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: Framedragger what stretch ? i did an "early publication" of my research! was worth jack shit to you!
mircea_popescu: early publication == newspaper article. not in any sense research paper.
mircea_popescu: will you mark it as "alf key craked" or "alf key maybe vulnerable, gotta read this tomorrow" ?
mircea_popescu: besides, you operate on the same exact paradigm, except when you deliberately turn off your brain and any sense of decency to participate with the empire of idiots. witness : if i now say "hey guise, i found way to crack asciilifeform 's key, will publish tomorow"
mircea_popescu: THIS is why fucking science is science and not, again, palace literature.
mircea_popescu: the most practical thing is to write junklets about how potent and sexy obama is all day.
mircea_popescu: that we look down at people with "lower" standards ? that we deem "lower" == "absent" ?
mircea_popescu: because it's the only fucking stance because what the everloving fuck.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger this great stance happens to have been held for many years, sucyh as for instance when in 2010 diana_coman didn't sleep a weekend to liberate the ro min of edu's data.
mircea_popescu: all publications which do not publish the data are newspaper articles.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger this is a ridiculous stance. not published = not existing
mircea_popescu: and please no hn posts of dorks patting each other on back over "meetings"
mircea_popescu: where's the pre-phuctor phuctor ? can i has links ? something ?
mircea_popescu: you can claim all you want, but what's it to do with anything. for all you know i'm drunk. what's that change.
mircea_popescu: in what sense first (actually) biggest (actually) project to factor rsa is "not that important" ? who did something more important in the interval and what was it ?
mircea_popescu: Framedragger is this evaluation based on something outside or just emotional ?
mircea_popescu: Framedragger so it doesn't fail it in your book. what of it. i brought a whore to my grandma's dinner once, it didn't disqualify her in my book. that's what books are for.
mircea_popescu: and yes people take umbrage with very little bullshit, which is not unreasonable, because a) very little bullshit is never alone (we know this, because unlike the dicklets involved, we HAvE EXPERIENCE in the fucking field) and b) it doesn't take much to throw everything off, bullshit compounds while truth decays.
mircea_popescu: it exists in nothing and in no way outside of this. this is all it is. raping your students is not relevant
mircea_popescu: this chaining of knowledge, for your info, is the CORE of academia.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: did they live up to what they swore to do, in your evaluation ?
mircea_popescu: this is usually included by the shorthand string "bibliography"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: Framedragger so if it does not make that statement, it imports, like any research paper EVER, the following "the authors have conducted a full review of extant literature relevant to their topic, and swear that the following list is complete and correct :"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: Framedragger alright. does this paper make the statement "we conducted no research of extant art, because [we're too cool for that ; princeton forked off reality ; whatever]" ?
mircea_popescu: diana_coman yeah, recall all the hissy fits about "oh this prof translated work, EVIL!11"
mircea_popescu: the only problem with this is that it's essentially fraudulent : princeton goes about to old people pretending it's a college, but in reality it's a diploma mill like any other. EXACTLY in the vein of how argentina goes about europe pretending it's a country an' trying to borrow money, when irl it's less of a country than my model train set.
mircea_popescu: which is the best possible construction i can put on Framedragger 's notions. "hey, this is what college MEANS NOW. sorry."
mircea_popescu: now, i can see the merit in an argument along the lines of "what the fuck do you want mp, research ? how the fuck is that going to happen if you insist on sticking all the cowpokes indoors ? they'll do what they can, nod along with the rest of the "academia".
mircea_popescu: what a difference a decade makes to academic standards i swear.
mircea_popescu: no, this is where we waste cycles. too much productivity is bad for management.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger no you didn't see it because i had a discussion over coffee before taking the pics with a girl, so this matters now.
mircea_popescu: mp's genuine original theatre. doing things that are useful and interesting. give me tax money nao!
mircea_popescu: (there was also some work done with blackface in 1715, but that was in france. that's it though, since 1715!)
mircea_popescu: also, i invented blackface last week. want to see the first best greatest blackface performance in history of world ?
mircea_popescu: look, there's people with all sorts of strange beliefs. i'm not in the business of forcing ideological compatibility. you can live with it, more power to you.
mircea_popescu: fucking ridiculous question. "what did soviet nuclear programme take from allies ? IT IS ALL BASIC SCIENCE!! THERES NAPKINS WITH FARTS DRAWN ON THEM SINCE 1933!111!!"
mircea_popescu: Framedragger you've not any standing to ask, so i guess you mayn't ask.
mircea_popescu: you mean, on the public record ? so next time starry-eyed Framedragger walks in and is all "oh, princeton, respectable institution" i link him above3 and he has to somehow deal with the cognitive dissonance ?
mircea_popescu: since when the fuck does stern look @ slavegirl include litany of misdeeds ? let HER know what she did wrong and let HER fix it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'll include the why in a formal proceeding. let them FIRST clean up their act
mircea_popescu: Framedragger the "originate the idea" hogwash is ridiculouys. next you'\re going to bring defenses in copyright cases based on "grimm brothers didn't invent the alphabet so therefore ineptitude is a ok!!1"
mircea_popescu: this was discussed in developer meetings cca michelangelo. what of it ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: Framedragger what was discussed in developer meetings long ago ? "dude wouldn't irt be cool if i invented flight ???"
mircea_popescu: in other lulz : try and find WHERE you register a complaint with teh fucking shitshow that pretends to be a university.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger what was discussed "in a mailing list long ago"
mircea_popescu: ima file a complaint with the princeton plagiarism police.
mircea_popescu: (somebody plox send to asn@torproject.org claudiar@princeton.edu laurar@csa.princeton.edu an' pwinter@cs.princeton.edu a notice saying "you forgot to quote phuctor, you dorks".)
mircea_popescu: there's by now a list of about 3-4 of these, all of them similarily sufficient on own strength.
mircea_popescu: and in ib, i expect the correct indexing will still be block height . tx index.
mircea_popescu: this item clearly gets rolled up into the "either move to ib or die with prb" eventual fork.
mircea_popescu: as it expects somehow "what's right" to matter naturally.
