mircea_popescu: o yeah, cuz i lifted the js for text
selection from his site.
mircea_popescu: in other news wow Framedragger your log
selection thing is immensely useful for eg leaving comments on davout 's site.
mircea_popescu: and incidentally "knapsack" problem is a fucking overstatement. here's a very simple strategy : 1. sort available inputs by size ; 2. if current step != last step,
select first input that is smaller than tx going out else
select the input right before that ; recurse to 1.
mircea_popescu: yes but what it uses it for is sorts,
select by index may use it if the index is composite.
mircea_popescu: suppose you excavate tomb in valley of queens ; suppose you find ~live~, talking, cogent queen in there. suppose you take her to the shelf of items, and give her a questionnaire. she is to
select "dildo spatula or hat" for each present item.
mircea_popescu: the ustards are a
selection of people uniquely and colossal-y afraid of dying, which explains most of the psychopathology.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger that said, the whole field of "socpsy" is poppycock, entirely in the manner of "moscow psychology" - it exists to try and justify a, in mussolini's terms, "Against individualism, the Fascist conception is for the State;" (
http://trilema.com/2013/sex-in-the-news/#selection-105.0-105.64 ). they even admit their "bedrock" is this "fundamental attribution error". they don't however admit that the whole point of this
mircea_popescu: argentina appears a manufactured africa. not dumb by evaporation, but dumb from
selective fractionation. apparently all the idiots came here. worst of italians, which is already pretty well
selected for fail etc
mircea_popescu: trinque the method i recommend, if you care, is to work
selections of classical texts with the dictionary ; then proceed to answer any systematic questions you have when you're sick of the slog.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i dunno, my
selection-for-obedience process doesn't also
select for comatose mental state simultaneously.
mircea_popescu: they usually don't walk the streets, being
selected for a sort of pretentious lazyness, but anyway.
mircea_popescu: as in, picked off the streets because anybody can anything and
selected for certain attributes.
mircea_popescu: and to round off the "fungi are interesting" general literacy thread - the way most (and the most) poisonous mushrooms work is through a substance that inhibits extremely
selectively rna polymerase 2. this makes the affected cells unable to reproduce, and hence the "eat destroying angel, get cramps/diarhea in three days, drop dead in 7" effect.
mircea_popescu: consider a simpler problem - you wish for whatever reason to "pick a good font". suppose your "good" is specified. you proceed to... look at fonts,
selected by some criteria. eventually you are tired to the point your eyes blur, and haven't seen 5% of the available offerigs in "gothic medieval" from one place. there's more places. when are you done ?
mircea_popescu: perhaps the byzantine empire and some
selected chinese confucianist tards.
mircea_popescu: and in other omfgwtf, mysql
SELECT WHERE TYPE [char len 1 field] = "F"
selects BOTH f and F.
mircea_popescu: anyway, given the mechanics of the retarded user and of viral infection, i would suspect 100% of these download-things websites
selectively scam their users.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-19#1570951 << for the record, separate dbs for
selects and inserts is the way to go. from experience it can rescue a large project / save 9x% off the hardware costs.the way you do it is that you have a master db copy which is the only one that takes the inserts, and slave dbs which are the only ones that take the
selects. replication can be at dedicated sql cluster level or above, slave dbs can
☝︎ mircea_popescu: of course you did ? iirc we discussed processor make etc way back when
selecting ?
mircea_popescu: the long story is like this : that the world is made of friction. this is necessarily, and evident from the fact that it's still here (if self-limitation wasn't a default property of all things, the world would have long exploded). meanwhile the republic is made of few people, and also evident from definition -
selective means minority. now add these things together : every project suffers from low power and high friction.
mircea_popescu: which strongly
selects for high value boxes. because random schmuck can't afford to pay his fucking car insurance for a decade straight. let alone A BOX
mircea_popescu: when he's done run a diff between the ips of fucked moduli and your banners, then
select distinct ?
mircea_popescu: nobody gives a shit about the entirely hallucinated "sex issue" ? and women don't mind being grabbed by
select gents ? O NOES WHO COULD HAVE PREDICTED!
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-08#1563912 << anything where half or more of the hopefuls fail to make it in, AND half or more of the first year fails to pass into 2nd. it must be
selective in this sense, with an understanding that most extant fenotypes are biological failures of no further interest or value.
☝︎☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway, the point being, the miner cartel brink-of-war event didn't proceed, but "equipment" derived from it is now widely deployed, and as you can observe it can
selectively disappear txn from the mempool.
mircea_popescu: BUT! coinbase
selection is the MOST IMPORTANT part of bitcoin privacy
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don';t think the wallet should do only signing. it should also do coinbase
selection.
mircea_popescu: there's hundreds of shops, literally, and they all do it by hand.
selection being what it is...
mircea_popescu: well, if the point is
selection, then all this is working as intended, no ? you should be thrilled with the tool.
mircea_popescu: this
selects a mold of the place. then you can start making all sorts of other things without a care in the world. like proper pickles.
mircea_popescu: "Avoid easy
selections, such as qwerty or password. If you want to pick an easy-to-remember but somewhat unique password, consider a variation of a word, such as a1rPl4nE for airplane."
☟︎ mircea_popescu: no but see, guy has the right idea already : let the 800 dorks have kids, pick up the
select ones once they're 16
mircea_popescu: "oh you can't read there, the
selector is not on that cell!"
mircea_popescu: yes, for as long as it's "community of
selected women".
mircea_popescu: heh. each-reads-his-own was intended as a mechanism to encourage people to
select the better package.
mircea_popescu: by the time ice age 24 is available "only in
select theatres" because nobody can be arsed to torrent it they'll be ready with iphone 17 ?
mircea_popescu: the state-run bullshits that pretend to be banks are exactly
selecting for random idiots who pretend to be entrepreneurs.
mircea_popescu: (for the non-ro elements : romania had a designated place for fertility treatments, sovata. it had some birthing pools, and a wide
selection of not-your-husband's dicks to choose from. because yes, most of the time that's the problem.)
mircea_popescu: i mean, i see the point to a certain degree, the street in practice DOES
select, for the worst. but i think he just meant "crapshot" rather than proper, street scum.
mircea_popescu: also consider - someone like the young rodger is the result of careful
selection over the generations.
mircea_popescu: for everyone else - there's the wot. and the fucking important point from this view of republican history to date is just this : we've actually built a
selection of magic spells that are both a) magic to the user and b) fixable through a definite process.
mircea_popescu: anyway. decentralized don't enter into it. the way you play is that you have a dealer bot, which
selects a string composed as a) "the hash of the latest known block whose height is divisible be 117 and is not in the last 117 found blocks" + b) a server generated salt for the day + c) a player generated salt, to be changed any time a player feels like. then for any dealt hand, the server concatenates a + b + c for each player
mircea_popescu: can't say i'm entirely opposed to the idea. then i can just log into facebook backend, direct
selected womenz to preferred fuckpad ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in the intestine ? LOTS of it. the intestinal surface is just as fucking complex as the brain. it
selects certain bacterial populations ffs.
mircea_popescu: how many unknown hillary clintons will have to paint the sidewalk before usg admits defeat and goes to licking
selected boots ?
mircea_popescu: "probably stupid, possibly not, and we're dealing with highly
selected folks. fuck."
mircea_popescu: and yes, it comes with the gunk - once you are powerful lord for yourself, you gotta also
select others for which to be, or else make enemies.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform asking "What is the minimal money necessary" is like asking "what is the minimum current draw of useful appliance". it depends neh ? for the money orlov already spent on his pretense (boat, authorship, whatever), egyptian native could have lived entire life happily in the circumstance of "the company of other bipeds being wholly
SELECTABLE".
mircea_popescu: the improvement plastics and composites (current generation, EXPENSIVE!) offer over
selected historical wood is marginal, if at all present.
mircea_popescu: generally, tmsr stuff is very powerfully innovative exactly for this reason : that it utterly rejects ~very well
selected~ priors commonly shared by "community consensus". it's a bunch of people that "can't spell properly", but not for lack of knowing grammar.
mircea_popescu: but the matter is in itself important, "how to reward collective effort ?" "i dunno, have the INDIVIDUALS composing the collective submit plans, and pick the fairest of a
selected set ?"
mircea_popescu: where "works" is defined as i can
select and paste a gpg armored segment and gpg can process it.
