mircea_popescu: you'll have to explain this to me again, i just thought the 8ball is a product of primes up to x

mircea_popescu: i do random shit like that.

mircea_popescu: i have, this sad mangled result is what comes out of me thinking.

mircea_popescu: you keep asking me to think. what, you think that's what missing, i never ran into someone telling me to do it ?

mircea_popescu: "the historical justification for human sacrificing was the theory gods care" "i don't agree gods even exist" "Sooo ?"

mircea_popescu: o look at that phuctoring. so asciilifeform here's my wonderment : 904359116964408528249771 includes 3. it therefore can't be the result of 8ball extension. so why does it pop now, i thought mutual factorization of moduli was complete ? ☟︎

mircea_popescu: the shit they do in canada i swear.

mircea_popescu: like the guy was asking yest "am i still welcome here", what the fuck do i care what they do to it. they can take the thing and put it through a leetspeak converter for all i care, what diff does it make.

mircea_popescu: but i don't read them out of principle, yeah. nothing to do with security per se, it's all political. in general i don't wish to encourage adobe ("oh, we couldn't do without them" bullshit, it's exactly the "Social media network effect matters" sole argument of usg it corporatardia) and in particular i don't think very much of what someone who expresses themselves in pdf might think or say. much like i wouldn't have read nigg

mircea_popescu: i dun think so.

mircea_popescu: wtf is "quantum info flow" supposed to even be ? what random exotic property of subatomic scale did they arbitrarily decide to use the wrong word for ? is it lorenzian flow, ie, if you face it head on you discover there's really not that much, for it somehow contracts, whereas from aside it seemed like there's a lot ? i noticed this property!

mircea_popescu: uuuuu "i fucking love science, look at all deze galaxy catpictures"

mircea_popescu: Framedragger ehehehe i'd read what you dig up, so by all means.

mircea_popescu: currently, trilema title redirects one if clicked ot a random (english language) article. what i'd want it to do is to redirect one to a randomly chosen ~related~ article.

mircea_popescu: but anyway, in general and unrelatedly, this consumerist notion that "oh, i have rights" has very little weight in wot terms. shit in your relationships, good luck with your "rights".

mircea_popescu: what, "oh no, someone bought me a drink here once, i now own the place" or somesuch ?

mircea_popescu: why should i want the esteem of "the general public" / solrodar / whatever.

mircea_popescu: yes i recall.

mircea_popescu: i'm trying to recall who the guy is/was.

mircea_popescu: ~same relation i'd say.

mircea_popescu: i suppose in a sense i already DO make a ... hm...

mircea_popescu: i'd make a pretty decent concentration camp doctor.

mircea_popescu: actually i suppose one should be a darling and a) add VR headests to the girls and b) add lsd at the top.

mircea_popescu: if porn weren't so fucking dead, i might be making some avantgarde anatomy explorations. such as the female stairwell.

mircea_popescu: and as he's hurling through the air, his doppler-effected voice can be heard going "now that's what i caaall a blooowjoooobbbb"

mircea_popescu: and on the other hand, i don't admit that 'stealing people for the sake of stealing', whatever may mean, is either related to what we were discussing or a useful method to approach the subject matter we were discussing.

mircea_popescu: look - the blunders of usg post taliban beheading in 2001 are not more meaningful nor worthy of investigation in the direct sense than the movement of a salted snail. so i don't admit that whatever post 2001 example of behaviour or anecdotal poit of evidence may be used as part of a larger construction of ideas.

mircea_popescu: i lend no credence to the theory.

mircea_popescu: anyway, i feel dumber for having dug up into the unfunny pit of usg-ian unintentional comedy. was there a point to this excursion ?

mircea_popescu: i don't put any stock in this story.

mircea_popescu: i recall now, the supposed.... whatever the fuck it was, bizarro clinton thing with iran. almost exactly the same quality of secret service work as the "saddam has wmds" thing.

mircea_popescu: i don't even count this sort of shit, for all you know it's a movie trailer.

mircea_popescu: ah, i thought this was 70s, wtf 2015 recent events.

mircea_popescu: ah i recall this. ok, what of him ?

mircea_popescu: now, i can appreciate you personally wish to look at things in this "management doesn't matter and doesn't exist, so no difference should be made between gasteropode and man", but this is really nonsense. there is such difference, and it's called a spine.

mircea_popescu: yes, and that'd be the obviosu construction, but i'm unpersuaded. it dun fit.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i believe it was really the italian thing ; except in a larger system composed of (individual-su space) vs (individual-us space)

mircea_popescu: i keep having to state this, my counter was barely 16 bits and so it overran. how many 65536 times did i say it already ?

mircea_popescu: (ah and in case anyone wonders where the money went ? M&A market. if you don't know what this is - it's when i buy your daughter to take her to shanghai.)

mircea_popescu: yeah rather useful i'd say

mircea_popescu: i just got spam with an... iso image attached. that's a new one o.O

mircea_popescu: oh and re the perennial discussion of progress and "what things cost" : i'd like a pound of costards, please.

mircea_popescu: i'm so sick of computer-pseudoscience i can't put it in words.

mircea_popescu: shinohai not so much a necessity as an utility i think.

mircea_popescu: (really, i only quoted it for the very interesting introduction - plainly states that teh beoble hate us, and always have, and logically always will. because the fruits of satan's own belly can't do no better. o.O)

mircea_popescu: i am thinking.
