asciilifeform: (perhaps mircea_popescu and i might've forgotten how to grind gnarly integrals mentally, but we still have the neurons to grind with 'macsyma' etc.)
assbot: Logged on 06-04-2014 14:59:26; mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ok. considering the what/how debate as accepted foundation : at any time there's a number of turkeys and a number of engineers.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i vaguely recall a story of yours, about a chum who went to usa and left in disgust, when he was not permitted to build other than a cardboard house.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it'd be great, but would have to be deep in a forest, secret, with a stump for a chimney - just like during the war. because living in something that isn't a house is highly illegal in usa (unless part of a designated ghettoschwitz)

ThickAsThieves: <+mircea_popescu> it's a sf story about how the exposure to fractals make brains pop. /// a couple weeks ago i was charting for hours on end, using fib spirals and picking apart fractal patterns, and this repeating melody started in my head, not a song i knew, just a sequence. It was there for a day or two. First time I was musically inspired in a while.

xmj: mircea_popescu: do feel free to put your money where your mouth is.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: yes exactly
fluffypony: also the original oaes_lib author seems to eschew modernising it, so we may dump it completely at some stage rather than bother
fluffypony: xmj: so oaes_lib uses ftime() like a retard, and we don't have spare contributors to rewrite the two places its used to rather use gettimeofday - is there anything particularly wrong with using -lcompat for the moment till we can see to that?
BingoBoingo: Oh, apparently the brain electricity stuff for sleep et al is being commercialized https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cranial_electrotherapy_stimulation

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i vaguely recall an experiment from the '70s where everyone who was placed in apparatus had seizure. from ordinary flash lamp - but not at the familiar 20hz which sets off known sufferers
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: actually, there's a way.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, temporal lobe is where most of the electical dysfunctions happen in most forms of epilepsy.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Current through the temporal lobes alone likely has undesirable side effects
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: if mircea_popescu's - why ask me. ask your playmates.

cazalla: mircea_popescu, hilarious
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in usa, never such a problem. they'd simply confiscate houses, cars, mattresses of money, until shortfall vanishes.
asciilifeform: which is one more reason why mircea_popescu's prediction from earlier (that the 'saecular authorities' will not molest those who plunder or destroy btc atms) is likely to come true.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: one can see why riga's popular with the british stag parties, russian biznessmen, and german tourists
mircea_popescu: <pete_dushenski> riga is worth a visit: fine food, reasonable prices, beautiful young women, appealing architecture << all true.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: well maybe you'll be more careful next time
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski fuck me i was just speaking extemporaneously
