anyway, to humor you
and with absolutely no dispositive intent : let f(x) = 1/x ; let g(x) = 1/x*2. let x ->n. 0**0 = 1 implies x -> 1 when x->n.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, there's significant linkage between eg "If you’re having trouble understanding what any of that means, there are two important points to consider. First, we don’t understand it either. Nobody does. This problem should have rendered it unpublishable in all peer-reviewed, academic journals."
and, picking randomly,

☝︎ mircea_popescu: how ~do~ you call it
anyway ? the "hates men
and capitalism" tomboy that'll beg
and if desperate fuck for pay ? like that mentally ill nut with the "scum manifesto"

☟︎ mircea_popescu:
anyway, danielpbarron original approach, ie with limits of functionals, is imo also the correct one.
and in this perspective f ^ g when both f
and g ->0 is properly undefined.
mircea_popescu: was pm for a few years.
anyway, he wrote some derpage about "the state",
and i wrote a scathing comment.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, re other point : i dun believe there is such a thing as an autodidact. everyone that knows anything learned that thing, themselves. no one can learn outside of an environment,
and there is no deeper relevancy to convention of the time than that -- convention of the time. dude who learns in dark room is going to be weird one way, girly that learns in room with other girlies
and teacher is going to be weird the other wa
mircea_popescu: but
anyway, a fine summary of modernity is "the time when middle class status went from owning $x in property to owning $x in property
AND generating $y in income".
mircea_popescu:
anyway ; afaik the whole reason tex exists is because sometime in early 80s/ late 70s knuth got some galley proofs from the new photo process
and hated them
mircea_popescu: "oh but mp, you wouldn't be linking to me
anyway" "
and this says what about you ?"
mircea_popescu:
anyway, that was the original "sting" re silk road, some narc pretended to be a seller there ("hacked account, ie social engineered)
and tried to sell pound of coke, nobody was buying so dork in charge decided to buy it on his own accouint. to "save face", because apparently "drug marketplace" that can't place a pound somehow has some face to be saved
mircea_popescu: "leveraging the synergies" or how's it called, "ironing out the waste
and inefficiency" ?
anyway. why need apple when has windows
and intel ? samsung can make the tablets as usg.intel profit center.
mircea_popescu: (amusingly -- flaubert allegedly spent $longinterval trying to decide which temperature reading is the correct number, between 19
and 17 or somesuch. or maybe it was proust.
anyway.)

anyway ☟︎ mircea_popescu:
anyway. the reason i point out burma is because the coup was successful,
and the country is industrializing at chinese pace.
mircea_popescu:
anyway. to be perfectly fair
and generally speaking sane : the actual technological need driving the modern hybrid craze has ~nothing to do with the declared reasoning (envirobs)
and everything to do with the desperate attempts of engineers who noticed they have a pile of ~useful items to arrange them in an optimal configuration.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, to revisit upstack : putting "quantum computing" in the same pile of failed technologies as stem cell research is beyond idiotic. holy hell, every woman that ever was pregnant got the embryonic boost, measurable
and measured, wtf.

and 'dead bitcoin', esp. if it dies on enemy's terms, would imho be a technogenic catastrophe, quite comparable to, e.g., chernobyl. ( not for mircea_popescu 'i'm rich
anyway, fuck everyone' ,
and not for other folx, who might not even have any; but for the concept of 'gold sans the guard labour')
diana_coman: you might want to check out #eulora too
and the game itself
anyway mircea_popescu:
anyway. the idea was, rather than actually drill the idiots we recruit into soldiers, cheaper easier
and lazier to just give them a gun.
and since they're idiots
anyway, we "optimize" gun into peashooter. our democracy progressing continously towards further heights of socialism.
mod6:
anyway, don't worry about it. just nuke the post I made,
and I'll dump the unsigned text inthere.

anyway ☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu:
anyway, it's the right move from a cattle herding perspective. refund the current crop
and promise them vip seats atthe next one. gotta keep the promise flow.
Framedragger: yes, infantilism,
and a general pattern, but it wasn't just "accounting" back then, it was mp billing multiple spends as "cartel research",
and other shareholder disagreeing with this. but
anyway, after actually reviewing logs, my interim conclusion is "forest is deep,
and don't sign a zero asset contract framedragger"
mircea_popescu: Framedragger bitbet ended up short ~same btc, idiot chorus went "well since mp happens to be doing the accounting for it,
and he's rich
anyway, he should make whole our delusions as how the world works. because we have parenting issues from a bad childhood
and also are so fucking speshul."
mod6:
anyway, seems a common theme with me
and ada. starting to wonder if my compiler version is fubar or someweird shit.
Framedragger: it would, however, require having more than one physical box at-the-ready. which is fine
and how providers work
anyway, but the matter becomes cost-effective only at some degree of scale, then.
mircea_popescu: "oh, i'm too fucking good to send some opterons to be racked
and btw we begged for less cock. or more. or something,
anyway FOR LITERALLY YEARS!!11"
mircea_popescu: diana_coman let's consider this : late april, you can go lower or higher. if you're competent you take your pick, if you are not competent
and so can't follow the competent YOU DO NOT GO. you don't fucking go
anyway, relying on your group numbers,
and then of fucking course if you bigfoot about HIGHER than the other guys end up... causing an avalanche.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: did, with
and without numlock.
and the thing you're trying to catch in code (e.keyCode) is 0 in both cases. however, e.which is correct (
and is more 'canonical' here
anyway). but i'm on laptop currently; but that shouldn't make a difference
mircea_popescu: yes you have the traditional model where quad talks to computer,
and computer says "your next freq is X
and encrypt to key Y"
and it's all fine. but now quad can talk to quad,
and pick an X just as good as computer'd have picked it. yes this is worthless if Y is weak
anyway -- but if Y is not weak
anyway it is in fact valuable, even if it might be irrelevant for arbitrary usecase Z
mircea_popescu:
anyway, re the earlier point - there's a very strong line dividing the case where "your idea will never work, but you can have an A
anyway" because obviously you can't write a functional description of business but nevertheless that should not stop you from trying ;
and "your idea if you can call it that means you can never get anything other than an F no matter what you do", because apparently you separated from human cultur
mod6: mircea_popescu:
anyway, as far as dog, 100 years ago; your dog got cancer? you take it out
and shoot the poor thing.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
anyway, either approach discussed is ridiculous. i don't need valgrind to emulate a processor
and then guess how long things' take ; i don't want gprof's sampling either. just awk the codebase to add a printf after each instruction spitting out time
and recompile. that's it.
mircea_popescu:
and besides, you were here every day
anyway even when it didn't pay you anything.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: yeah so i hear,
and even have coupla bookmarks from recommendations should the opportunity require, heh.
anyway good to know
mircea_popescu:
and it would be out of the question doing business with nato-reich located dcs
anyway, for basic moral reasons.
mircea_popescu:
anyway. small planes (ie, single pilot) make emergency landings (ie, landing otherwise than in flight plan) for all sorts of reasons. chief among them bad weather -- the small shits have icing problems
and are really dependent on atmosphere playing nice with the nutshell,
and in the more responsible also the pilot deciding he's tireder than he thought.,
mircea_popescu:
anyway, the hamilton-carnegie us has a) little to do with the jpmorgan-rockefeller us,
and also entirely nothing to do with the jackson-nixon-bush us.
mircea_popescu:
anyway. this is what i currently use to epxlain random string production, like "motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/the-large-bitcoin-collider-is-generating-trillions-of-keys-
and-breaking-into-wallets" or like
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-14#1643409 or everything in between
☝︎ mod6: I'll write up something
and put up the pics somewhere. making thumbnails is a pain in the ass... but will do it
anyway.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, on meditation there's substance to Framedragger 's protest, though perhaps not the sort he'd like. the impulse to "generosity", ie unqualified giving is how people end up in trouble / how the whole mess was engineered in the first place. when you've two oxen yoked to the same cart
and one's smaller, sickly
and can't pull, some people will naturally have the correct reaction to whip it to death. others will naturaly ha
mircea_popescu:
anyway, macroeconomically speaking i fully expect us to enact trade barrier simply because the us population is desperate for some protection. if it CANT buy the chinese crap because it's not allowed it gets to not buy it ; if it can it has to come up with some way to justify not buying it on its own
and it's way too dumb, soft
and useless for that. so in this perspective tariffs are +ev politically.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, my bad, was bitcoin "related" stuff. it's shocking identical to 5 years ago except new faces
and new names.
a111: Logged on 2017-04-10 16:37 phf: well, right, but you're not going to learn how to db by ~running~ databases. the whole "db" thing is an illusion
anyway. rtrees, btrees, indexes, locking mechanisms, mvcc are all concrete algorithms, that you can implement in an adhoc manner for your task at hand
and actually see how they work
and what they do.

and woman. dog is a friendly pitbull, woman has nice tits. there could be worse fates.

anyway. it is FABULOUS buttermilk. best i ever had. also got a strong sheep cheese
and a mellower one. i am happy like i've not been in a long time - finally, food! like god at home made it!

☟︎ mircea_popescu:
anyway, imo the principal point of the discussion is that knowledge, any knowledge, enacts a partition upon the world. this is the only difference - chucka
and man are distinguished not by skin color, not by anything else but the overpowering fact that chuka doesn't know what to do with the rtg ; or with pushkin ; or with etcetera.
mircea_popescu: but
anyway, thinking about it, it'd seem to me the only possible explanation of
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-09#1641002 is that the golden dozen lacked ~any conception whatsoever~ of the enmity of mit. like dodo birds, went happily to the necessary eventual slaugther because failed ot perceive usg must be destroyed not ignored. in a field arbitrarily (
and perhaps not exactly accidentally) limited in this manner, they cultiv
☝︎ mircea_popescu:
anyway, to take the thing back to rms
and friends : socialism is not a political choice, it's a psychological defense. it expresses itself in fundamentally defective individuals. tis what it is.
mircea_popescu: slaves, idem. if you couint every nigger at mit, derping about "we're one, man"
and "i should have money
anyway" then yes you get the figures, but if you count THAT as slavery god help youi.
mircea_popescu: BenBE the problem is that others may attempt to use it
and involve you thereby. which is also the whole of their business plan, i'm sure you realise.
anyway, the whole thing's moot : proper wot exists, we're using it, the soup can go hang.
mircea_popescu: seems if you were going after ecdsa you'd attack the curves not the keys. kind of a wasted effort seeing how the curve authors already know the holes
and why the fuck would i bother when blacklisting works so well. but
anyway.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, that's my stance : it is pointless to inquire in the mathematical security of x.509
and related source schemes, because they are not secure by design
anyway.
a111: Logged on 2014-08-13 14:40 asciilifeform: 'They tend to show up late at parties because they figure they can always steal the cake
anyway, so why bother go early ? Let the suckers figure out first - on their own dime - where the good cakes are, then just swoop in
and collect... This means the only way they can get in is if you let them get in. Don’t let them get in for cheap - they have no business here.' (mp's
http://trilema.com/2014/people-us-dollar mircea_popescu:
anyway, im dumping teh table as a sql
and will be wanting to hack it up. but i have no tools with which to identify the CUT HERE spot
mircea_popescu: i still have nfi elephantiazis hit that poor file that it ended up 40g, but
anyway, im moving the whole shebang on a tb partition
and will see wtf myisamchk does.
mircea_popescu: but the solution is relatively simple
anyway. "honey, you're not going to """college""", you're going to either riadh or beijing,
and if by the time you're 20 you're not either married or coming back with a million you're not my daughter.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, the whole "i write books" aspirational occupation is a macula of dumb just all of itself. i keep mentioning tucker max because he tried (
and claimed to succeed)
and utterly failed at the thing.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, only interesting under the angle of "idiot empire raided open source forum, pretends to have "discovered" things
and to "give credits" to itself etc."
mircea_popescu:
and bitcoin replication isn't the best of topics for this theory
anyway.
a111: Logged on 2017-04-02 09:36 diana_coman: it seems that academia meanwhile went even faster downhill than I thought possible; at this rate it will soon produce colouring books
and "educate" people on how pencils are not even good for much besides making marks on paper (for which one can use their hands
anyway! there's one chapter on that plus 10 on history of mark-making
and its perks)

and BingoBoingo for support but I'm kinda on ongoing sabbatical
anyway.
mircea_popescu: the beach goes to both atlantic
and pacific though,
and the mountain's really a volcano, but
anyway mircea_popescu:
anyway, cr geography is very california-like. there's beach
and mountain.
mircea_popescu:
anyway : the nedeflorena looking character on the left is some wanna-be poet, ie unmarrigeable
and unskilled but by now too old boring female. the other one is an ambitious sort, trying to make money by selling crap, in this case vegan food. she's at some point a decade ago briefly attempted to exploit for pr reasons this mentally deranged cat lady suzanne-something, who claims to be the "suzanne feeds you oranges" in leonard
mircea_popescu:
anyway, fucking tard. "my name is mircea_popescu ; i've been using chairs pretty much every day since the late 70s,
and recently i started getting involved in this fantastic chair community"
mircea_popescu: but
anyway, back to the upstream :
https://archive.is/9zD8D#selection-9.3336-9.4865 the whole thing is rather damaging of bernstein's own standing
and credibility. he engages in this sort of behaviours, he isn't much of a man,
and certainly the sordid tale of his misbehaviour disabused me of any intention of rating him on the basis of his work.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: if you're doing all the trenching
anyway, actually documenting it is not much more load,
and totally worth it.
mircea_popescu: (
anyway, ftr i do not dispute the "So this exemplifies that MP makes mistakes, is reckless, duplicitous,
and may be borderline lunatic/sociopath who could lose his mind at some point
and totally REKT Bitcoin. We do not have decentralization with Satoshi's PoW." concept. examples are not needed ; mp is indeed all the above
and more.)
diana_coman:
anyway, gotta say that mod6's script
and docs were great
and very, very helpful
mp_en_viaje:
anyway, the striking thing a bout the afghani dwelling is that it's not a hut. it's a tower, if need be essentialized to a pillar, but basically a machinegun pillbox. AROUND IT like around the medieval castle the women's items, huts
and bread ovens
and children/goat/pig stys are build. but the dwelling is basically this donjon.
mircea_popescu:
anyway. strong law-
and-order ticket, repressed the bums (social group that today in the us masquerades as "students")
and so on.
mircea_popescu:
anyway. this'll do fine for a stock answer to the people inquiring why $random-"standard" isn't supported. the account is delinquent. they owe a lot of money
and are trying to defraud us of it.
mircea_popescu:
anyway. sarge explained to me that it's not done here.
and also wanted to know if i "consume"
mircea_popescu:
anyway, to my eye the amusing thing is that if you get a nude hottie out in the open, what'll happen is the half dozen boys that'll dare approach will a) be symbolically protected by their magical uniform garb
and b) ask for the perturbation in the force be removed OH PLEASE GOD MAKE IT GO AWAY.
mircea_popescu: "won't shit get randomly bent
and displaced
and you only get the residual friction
anyway ?" "YEAH!!!"
mircea_popescu:
and yes, everyone but asciilifeform is aware hammer-carpentry is ~windows-computing but
anyway.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, the difference between imponade
and the idf is that the imponade relies on failure of those imponed upon to evaluate ; whereas the idf relies on the fundamental problem of the cost of evaluation -- sometimes it's huge.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
anyway, they COULD NOT enjoy life as chicken handlers, because they'd do dumb shit. there's a reason situation with 1k droolers with chicken coop 20 chickens each turned into 1 chicken farm, 20k chickens, designed by 1, ran by 10,
and 989 droolers on ipads waiting for the counter to count down.
mircea_popescu:
anyway. typically pirate war against the crown wants you know, the fortress of martinique.
and gibraltar.
mircea_popescu:
and for that matter, who's to say a simple move to 64 bits doesn't resolve the problem altogether. but
anyway, i'm more making a point than proposing a technical solution.
mircea_popescu:
anyway, "disagreement-verbiage" so to call it is the stuff of life. i have tons of it with my slavegirls,
and they're very literal chattel slaves, not as much as a stitch they own outright nor as much as a private fold in their heart. nevertheless...

☝︎ mircea_popescu:
anyway, the pill is not equivalent to "get pregnant
and miscarry". it prevents nidation (ie, the implantation of the fecundated ovary into the uterine wall). pregnancy can at the earliest be deemed to have begun once the morule starts signaling (hormonally), which is days away from this moment. it'd be proper-er to say it gilds their womb.
