shinohai: oh yes mircea_popescu i met you in game, was gonna pair up with danielpbarron one day but system froze after a few minutes walking :/
mircea_popescu: i guess it depends on machine to a more significant degree than i thought.
mircea_popescu: did you for some reason to a full recompile ?
mircea_popescu: it was a painless ~10 minute compile for everyone who tried it so far, but diana_coman 's kinda curious if that holds out in win or not.
asciilifeform: also holy FUCK is pig-wrestling a waste of time, http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/89713/offline-rsa-strong-prime-test-similar-to-phuctor#comment247283_89715
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the article mentioned earlier gave a locus. will post when i find it, prolly will have to dig through optical disks.
mircea_popescu: yes but... i tried lactate. i tried glycosulphate. i mean... holy shit, what, does it come as part of a chunk of protein eight miles long, to count ?
PeterL: maybe a red herring would be a healthy diet addition ;)
mircea_popescu: so you next suppose "oh, it's because the pill creates this point with a gradient, whereas livers are distributed". so you grind it into a dust, mix it in say, humus. nnnnnope...
mircea_popescu: what IS a very bad analogy however, that i let pass though i shouldn't have, is the fucking iron pill. you don't know this, because insufficient exposure ; but i run a farm of women my whole life and let me tell you that a) pernicious anemia is still a fucking thing. unlike syphilis that isn't since antibiotics, pa is, iron pill or no ; b) iron pill doesn't work worth a shit. every fucking time i'd try every glycosulcinate, f
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: does it feel like a 'startled every 5 minutes' ?
asciilifeform: if asciilifeform had not personally watched mircea_popescu drink a cup of coffee, he might now suppose that it had never happened !
asciilifeform: so this is a deliciously bad analogy.
mircea_popescu: sure, if you're a fuycking weirdo you may benefit from such nonsense. but a) it's a short term thing and b) whatevert you're doing, you're doing it wrongly, as evidenced by this perceived need to short out the fuse box
mircea_popescu: is this also a case of "o noes, mp is making shorting out hte fusebox into the devil - it could be useful"
mircea_popescu: so far the discussion is that capacities vary FOR A REASON. a biological reason.
mircea_popescu: there is no fucking "categories". and this is a fundamental problem here, that you seem to imagine for whatever reason that the world is a large collections of drawers with labels on them.
asciilifeform: but ~someone~ took out a sharp meat cleaver, like mine, but larger, and CHOPPED the happenstance crud off.
asciilifeform: that none of the existing dopes are demonstrably 'great idea for everyone, let's eat with breakfast' is quite a separate assertion from what i read to be mircea_popescu's supposition 'only idiot would try'
adlai: the combustion engine alone can't follow lanes, or tell apart an overhead sign from a crossing trailer (the tesla fatality)
mircea_popescu: moreover, that two ten hour parties sum to less than one twenty hour parties is unclear ; that a hit takes a hit out of you is certain.
adlai: quite analogous to fuel quantity, although it's more of an additive than a fuel
adlai: if the problem is "go twenty hours" then the dope works in that you can pick a dose and go
asciilifeform: all we have re comparison is that time he made a bet and quit for month
asciilifeform: the head is not an off-the-shelf part, and so all of the manipulations are sadly subjective. possibly erdos could have achieved same result by having a servant whip him silly every morning. not my place, to say this.
mircea_popescu: exactly like another certain demographics hopes she'll be a princess soon.
mircea_popescu: a.certain.demographic.hopes.it.works.
mircea_popescu: motherfucker. if the problem is "go ten miles" then the fucking combustion engine works in that i can tell you a fucking fuel qty value.
asciilifeform: it would have to be a problem that is just out of reach with normal methods.
mircea_popescu: i can buy by the kg if need be, and i'd like to find a way to classify assym cyphers meaningfully. say a number.
mircea_popescu: while there's not a single example of "high cns function helped by chemical", you can take ps hoffman as a fine example of "idiot enhanced himself"
mircea_popescu: i dunno whence "the devil" comes from, but that aisde, the point was that speedballing does work, if with miserable side effects ; whereas smartrophine or w/e the shit is hoped to work, by a certain demographic.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu is reading a 'what made them' into asciilifeform's 'dope is a tool like any other, not a devil'
mircea_popescu: if it can't burn it, you can sit on a pole.
mircea_popescu: here's a newsflash : there's no mechanism to downregulate brain consumption of glucose, outside of the natural.
mircea_popescu: you seriously imagine it's a matter of "if i just increased the voltage of the south bus, i'd have twice as much ram" ? what is this, 15yo-overclockers-anonymous ?
mircea_popescu: patently not what you had in mind. nor at any point a contested usage.
mircea_popescu: stop being a tightass. speedballing is the ~only performance doping actually shown to work.
mircea_popescu: it's not a kind of "genetic engineering" of the "magical" kind seen in ~cartoons, "this spider touched radioactive superglue at the same time as this janitor"
mircea_popescu: it's a kind of dentistry - children don't need it, they got milk teeth.
mircea_popescu: it's point is not to make a mousy 15 yo into a total pool party slut. its point is to recover an aging slut, so that she gets a 2nd run starting in her 30s sometime.
mircea_popescu: prolly worth a read.
mircea_popescu: a discussion actually found here : http://trilema.com/2010/masini-bune-si-masini-de-lux/
asciilifeform: i dun really see a hard distinction between 'performance dopes' and, e.g., silicone tits, or heeled shoes, etc
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, it was "stop being the fucking idiot who thinks he's going to '''improve''' a series car in his fucking garage with a rusty old nail and a blowtorch".
mircea_popescu: there's two kinds of pretty blonde girls that grow double d tits their 15th year : the kind to whose the tits are a boon ; and the kind to whose the tits are a curse.
mircea_popescu: this is a purely sexual matter. yes, the guy was hot as all fuck.
mircea_popescu: like what, a fart ?
mircea_popescu: napoleon is essentially 1700s herostratus. a more successful histrion, but that's a matter of circumstance mostly.
mircea_popescu: and generally stop with the fucking titulature ; between the dizzy cow who thinks herself "an expert on geopolitics" for having a geopolitics degree from geopolitics university and alf thinking himself a "jet fighter" for reason of the rule of cool - no difference.
asciilifeform: ~the man~ doesn't distinguish, and if he tries, and is laughably off target, he ends in asylum and issued a bicorn
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is just as strange a question as 'how do i distinguish if i am ceo', or napoleon, etc.
mircea_popescu: moreover, it's entirely unclear how you'd go about distinguishing a jet fighter from an airliner when they're both bipedal lifeforms.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform tis a lot easier to measure the engine capacity than the metaphisicity. by definition of latter.
thestringpuller: Whereas stock bonus in corporate means "WOuld you like to voluntarily keep your slave contract going for another few years? If you do there is this cheese waiting for you at the end of the maze. The cheeze MAAAY spoil in the meantime cause the leadership had a lobotomy in the 90's but it's okay."
a111: Logged on 2016-08-05 13:54 mircea_popescu: THIS DOESN'T FUCKING MEAN random dicklet from ohio will be a "successful trader" for "doing coke off whore's asscrack"
mircea_popescu: well, more like irl this is 99% a tax consideration. nobody's dodging the republic's tax anyway, so not much difference.
mircea_popescu: technically sws work as a sort of "deferred ipo", at least so far.
mircea_popescu: it's not a fucking mechanism ffs.
mircea_popescu: THIS DOESN'T FUCKING MEAN random dicklet from ohio will be a "successful trader" for "doing coke off whore's asscrack" ☟︎
thestringpuller: the trophy generation huh? here is a reward for participating even if you sucked.
mircea_popescu: why it's evidently a bad idea here but not even verbalized as a bad idea there is entirely beyond comprehension.
mircea_popescu: if, quia absurdum, i were to take a 13 yo and call her a slave and a slut, and ordered everyone in the harem to be deferential to her majestic slavish sluttery, the girls would do it, but the 13 yo STILL wouldn't feel accomplished, or be happy, or anything. on the contrary, it'd poison her life.
thestringpuller: And after playing teh Beginner's Guide you walk away thinking, "Wow a lot of people are pieces of shit, pretending to have talent. How could I not recognize this before?"
thestringpuller: The interesting thing, is the profound games the arise out of the sludge. While the children try to make toys and pass them off as "real things", (when it's just glue and twigs stuck together purporting to be a doll). For instance the Beginner's Guide puts you in the role of having that mentality. This "I want recognition for nothing. Call me CEO, bitch. Cause Zuckerberg did it."
mircea_popescu: THIS is the deep reason so many black kids get shot, incidentally : that it's not fashionable to be a "ceo", it's fashionable to be a "gangsta". and the idiots get shot. humongo boon for the black community, and ~the only reason they don't suck as bad as whitey.
mircea_popescu: every single fucktard "businessman" in bitcoin thinks himself a CEO.
mircea_popescu: the problem is, nobody wants to intern, everyone wants to pretend equality to their betters, then "oh it's hard". fucking hell, how would it be easy, you're a child that's given himself adult responsibilities which precluded you from becoming an adult in time. hurr durr, stop being stupid.
thestringpuller: if you ever want to torture yourself, watch Indie Game the Movie and watch the beta male Phil Fish literally cry about how difficult making a game is and wants to give up.
thestringpuller: indie developers are just in a crab bucket race for a 15 minute spotlight before going back into obscurity. so exaclty as you described. phil fish (maker of FEZ) is a primary example of what's wrong with game development
mircea_popescu: hey, people are lazy and stupid. there's a very good explanation why they don't do anything intelligent. for one thing, it requires work.
thestringpuller: i don't see that being a problem for regulating eulora coppers
thestringpuller: like mega crafting villages and "world wonders" and such. (I think each age is denoted when a community builds a world wonder)
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: yea her and I had some good convo's about ATITD it's a great game. Not many people have played it, but the crafting system was something really intense for the time period.
mircea_popescu: yeah, at least that was you know, a proper thing. there's a difference between drawing a cartoon mouse and copy/pasting mickey.
thestringpuller: it's just a digital casino but has the same "feel" as ATITD
thestringpuller: The guys who did A Tale in the Desert did a game. (A tale in the desert was a partial inspiration for chetty iirc)
mircea_popescu: that's not a business, the moment they make a dime they get sued and what are they gonna do ? hire an assassin ?
mircea_popescu: in any case what's the rush, if it pays now or later ; as long as it's not paid dividends it doesn't much make a diff.
shinohai: i was trying to generalize. there are a lot of other places id have to look to do an objective gaming piece
shinohai: i thought of doing a piece comparing s.mg to bitcrystals but it would likely sound too biased
mircea_popescu: there's also some stock warrants outstanding, which is a matter that is still open wrt valuations in btc.
PeterL: "S.MG has a total of 88`096`605 authorised shares outstanding. The shareholder equity per share implied value is thus 0.00009958 BTC."
jurov: i just have embedded ecl in eulora and made quite a complete functionality available to it ☟︎
mircea_popescu: o yeah i got a dozen the past ~3 days.
danielpbarron: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-05#1515200 << i think it was with a tool. maybe even an improved hoe or something ☝︎
ben_vulpes: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/84/Palacio_do_Planalto.jpeg << this, i would wander around for a few minutes.
ben_vulpes: can one detatch from an x11 display and then later reconnect to it, a la tmux?
mod6: my arm would srsly get tired after a few hours.
mircea_popescu: got a few stacks of lbn to marry.
mircea_popescu: remarkables being in the millions of ecu range, this is who knows, possibly close to a btc.
mod6: that was always a thing. having to run back to town to store loot
mircea_popescu: mod6 no, no, see now it prevents you from getting overweight when mining through dropping a craft table. it's a thing of wonder
mod6: the gfx part is certainly part of the exp.; however, if one was to do a lot of bot work, txt would suit just fine.
gribble: Error: "s" is not a valid command.
mircea_popescu: mod6 yeah there was some talk of making a text client. maybe jurov was considering it iirc ? anyway, eventually one'll definitely exist.
mircea_popescu: shinohai what level is that ? im running it on a box from like ... 2005 i think
mod6: if someone where so inclined, i bet there could be a text-only eulora client created.
mod6: it's a good time to start too, because, iirc land (ownership?) is coming soon too.
mod6: its a bunch of fun. and there's jerbs to be had (as some players will hire you) and/or money to be made.
