mircea_popescu: cheaper tro move the hotties than to alter the climate.
mircea_popescu: brazil has some incredibly hot black women, but it's too hot altogether.
mircea_popescu: prolly every other wifi hotspot broadcasts 3 decimal accurate longitude/latitude anyway
mircea_popescu: though that more for bombing and such time-sensitive ops
mircea_popescu: about half of what droive the whole "image recognition ai" wank
mircea_popescu: (no joke, there's people whose whole career consists / ed of looking at grainy aerial barf to spot missile silos or whatnot)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform then how explain you the matchlessness of aerial photograph ?
mircea_popescu: i think much like the gps of yore, "civillian" maps not militarily accurate
mircea_popescu: mod6 buy the nice bohemian glass. (shards sold to idiots as "swarowski crystals" hurr). those also never scratch.
mircea_popescu: shinohai is that pizza slice a reference to the 4chan child pron thing ?
mircea_popescu: that was one of the very few administrative rules that got actually obeyed. ~nobody wanted to see a rehash of the white horror.
mircea_popescu: (somebody came up with bright idea of making cone out of paper, filling with ground up chalk, then pumping it out of the narrow end. DESASTER!!! followed.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform irl we had blackboards ; and every teacher had asthma.
mircea_popescu: ie, slides AS YOU DESCRIBE THEM (here's a shot of a whiteboard from another room, comment) work ; but the idiocy normally deployed by the empire tards does not.
mircea_popescu: certainly as far as my own experience goes, just about all i know i learned while neglecting homework.
mircea_popescu: the more a man knows, the better a man he is. i wouldn't worry about it.
mircea_popescu: great career path anyway. i never heard of an unemployed hardware negineer.
mircea_popescu: we prolly should put one up just to mess with people. it's not THAT expensive by now.
mircea_popescu: guy comes back later, to tell me they have no others ; and i can buy that one. takes it over to dispatch, "Hey, can you take this chair apart and pack it ?" "i'd love to."
mircea_popescu: the difference is palpable, too. me in computer store, sits down in char. "can i buy this ?" "uh... it's the display..." "you have no others ?" "brb i'll check"
mircea_popescu: Framedragger yep that's exactly the sadness, that all attempts ended up smoke or mirrors.
mircea_popescu: consider eg a * b > a + b. this is basically cauchy pared down. that there's no direct path from one to the other is the only last nail of hope (but mp, just because we've not found yet why it's fundamental doesn't prove it isn't. sure.)
mircea_popescu: ie, "this sounds great and explains nothing" ; much like the void thinking (void) ai program.
mircea_popescu: here, however, no such evolution. makes one fear the idea is actually sterile.
mircea_popescu: nothing wrong with a little bit of aesthetics. but you certainly noticed the very strongly monotonous abstractization function of actual knowledge. what starts life as banal observatrion of natural numbers ends up linked to ever more complex manifestations in who knows what algebra / space / etc.
mircea_popescu: there may be fundamental problems with the very concept. (for instance : give an example of self-organizing heat exchange defect. "oh, life itself" what else ? "the tornado that happens in the drain". mmkay. the problem with not being able to give examples of a theory besides the item that prompted the theory is generally known as begging the question.
mircea_popescu: the notion, in the abstract, of POE seems splendidly meaningful to excplain cognitive evolutionarily ; but any attempt to pin it down in practice went ~nowhere afaik.
mircea_popescu: i recall this thing was one of the (many) post-bicameral-world-excitement byproducts. it failed to go very far.
mircea_popescu: the brighest dogs have iqs in the 30-40 range, and yet they can beat the average human in ~average human~ contexts. what could be more humiliating of a "culture" i can not imagine.
mircea_popescu: there's this runaway effect of unbounded self-referential complexity whereby everyone long forgot why the fuck they were doing the thing 184 steps back that "it all" supposedly rests on.
mircea_popescu: though it's true the dogs seem to love the idea. "finally! a sane human! ima go right there and lick hi to her!"
mircea_popescu: what the everloving fuck will happen. nothing happens. dudes who don't have the balls to talk to women dressed sure as fuck won't talk to them naked.
mircea_popescu: and to think it is all backed with the nonsensical belief that THINGS WOULD HAPPEN!!1
mircea_popescu: incidentally... they fucking dress dogs now, don't they. nuts.
mircea_popescu: fucking stupid. wtf is a park for if not naked dogs and naked women.
mircea_popescu: do they also have no nudity at public park laws or didn't check ?
mircea_popescu: but frozen it was not, owing to all the vegetation, so there is that.
