Framedragger checks the java filled homepage, damn moar books to read. that is nice
Framedragger: yeah i need to read his short story collections in full, he tends to be better at short stories anyway
Framedragger: re. "not salt sacks! cellular automata in large sugar molecules!" (pretty neat, truly)
Framedragger recommends egan's "wang's carpets", to contribute, in all seriousness. (later incorporated as a chapter in his "diaspora", asciilifeform will know)
Framedragger: everything is a defense mechanism eh... maybe it is
Framedragger: *i* got a reference to a nice piece by feynman. it was also mentioned on the forum logs. booyah!
Framedragger: yeah quite a few assumptions re triangulation, hm
Framedragger: the pulsar part i think would count as asciilifeformic diagram, maybe. but just that, and only just
Framedragger: sure, if you argue for (if that's the term) ultimate epistemological relativism, crabs in water, then whatever. but we don't intend crabs to intercept a space vessel anyway
Framedragger: pulsars are more visible than latin, is what i meant
Framedragger: it is qualitatively less stupid than printing a fucking human figure on the plate.
Framedragger: pulsars are kinda loud on teh spectrum. the visual representations (marks on the lines) can be mapped to relative pulsar periods in a straightforward fashion.
Framedragger: this will produce barf reactions, but re. that pioneer plate, hmm... yeah it's horribru, but the pulsar period lines (iirc?) - it's completely hogwash, right? the human figures are, sure
Framedragger: ah shit, i thought i forgot something. just need to reconstruct unicode from hydrogen atom first principles
Framedragger: maybe if we all bid in $1 increments they will see real value$$$
Framedragger: filled out a form. my proposed mega charitable $25 bid will probably go unnoticed, tho :(
Framedragger: yeah, i guess it's a about the general point anyway. with not much particular matter left
Framedragger: oh yeah, such a great channel, occupy the oceans!
Framedragger: i do not presently assign any high value towards AGW, but am also unsure of the "if there were a bomb, there definitely would be nothing to be done" part. i mean, i guess so, hm.
Framedragger: trinque: hm, no, honestly the point *was* just about non-linearity. not about action or "hey we should hedge our bets just in case", etc.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: ty for response, no follow-ups for now :)
Framedragger: (author did not respond to query, before anyone asks)
Framedragger realised the term "inflection point" was actually used in the article itself (in a footnote), in the sense i had in mind, so needless to say, not an original point
Framedragger: like, apple watch can start flashing when precum is estimated to be secreted
Framedragger: worx for me as long as javascript callbacks are supported so developers can expand and add custom JS logic
Framedragger: ejaculation charged extra, unless netfuxx subscription. where is my vc money?
Framedragger: nfc => contactless payments, presumably. pay for condoms with finger
Framedragger: (will produce text from mind if anything good comes up, but likely won't)
Framedragger: i suppose one cannot avoid this general structural, at least i can't, yeah. does wonders for my ongoing internal-anarchism debate :D
Framedragger: (heh, this relates in my head re taleb's "trust yer biology!!" point (iterated in multiple places))
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: devil's advocate: can attempt to resist where-to-go paradox without making reference to authority if you admit that agent's free will can also include (while still counting as free will) "unconscious heuristics" ("water is priority"; but yes this is missing the point, i guess) / "random behaviour" (buridan would disagree that this is "free will", i guess)
Framedragger: "stochastic behaviour important part of agent!", something
Framedragger: if you constrain free will to rational-agent-acts only, then yeah, paradox applies.. right?
Framedragger: the paradox re free will, been a long time tho
Framedragger: one $sadthing re aristotle is that he did all his logic in verbal syllogisms. which is ~fine, but omg did predicate symbol notation help... and it took a long while. same with middle age logic (buridan et al, not an expert tho). guess knowing lating well helps a lot, tho :/
Framedragger: i don't have a strong case but don't consider all of analytic philosophy to be just "public intellectuals". a *large lot* of it, sure, so makes sense to just dismiss all of it for the sake of saving time / internal sanity
Framedragger: heh re textual devices, i guess i have to agree. baudrillard... i liked it when i first read simulation/simulacra. yes it was pretty vapous, i mean, beyond the "map != territory but depends how you use words, kid!!", summarised in a paragraph or two... so, sure
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: hm so you would dismiss say the whole internalism/externalism debate as effectively tv show, then? :D
Framedragger: but yeah. also paragraph notion vaguely relates to "log ranges" concept (which i haven't developed any further, yet.) l1 folx give labels to log line ranges; these 'breaks' can then visibly (not obnoxiously) appear in online logotron.
Framedragger: (from irc backlog) eh, there's ~passable stuff, like chalmers (actually vaguely referenced in logs) etc
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: this explains why modern analytic philosophy got rid of paragraph notation (cf. kant and, like, everyone else), hmm...
Framedragger: ast-based-diff does imply getting rid of 'line' concept in source, doesn't it
Framedragger: yesyes, meanwhile i'll go and pretend i have a computer!
Framedragger: semantic diff would of course be spiffy, there is that.
Framedragger has not-great eyesight and prefers traditional 80col, worx great
Framedragger: code can't scroll horizontally, breaks too many things. e.g. visual selection of blocks. needs to literally-fit-in-head horizontal-wise
Framedragger: ah, well then yeah, it's pretty luzly :D tis true
Framedragger: yes and i hate nano, it's horrible for long lines
Framedragger: so instead of writing code i now need to write a code editor which can break code lines code-semantically? :/
☟︎ Framedragger had to supply a coupla raised invoices in UK for bank to say "mk this bzns looks like serious bzns". felt dodgy (i can raise invoice to ur mom)
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: hm. a map structure and an iterator over it seems clear to me, imho. just looks unfamiliar to a c developer. but not arguing further
Framedragger: is that from boost? just looks like modern cpp ^
Framedragger: asciilifeform: i linked to illustrate the diff between enabled vs provisioned. let's not do another confused is/ought debate
Framedragger: so in theory, a wordpress hax0r could provision AMT if AMT was enabled, thus opening up the remote diddling thing
Framedragger: asciilifeform: see bullet point "An unprivileged local attacker could provision manageability features gaining unprivileged network or local system privileges on Intel manageability SKUs"
Framedragger: and computers are not computers in the first place; does not negate the point about "if enabled, still bad, and good to know/check."
