mircea_popescu: how about "pushgetblock to ONE peer randomly
selected from the list of peers advertising higher block tip than you have upon every block verification (whether successful or not) and every 10 minutes henceforth"
mircea_popescu: see, the
SELECTION of .sigs you see is not promised to cover the whole space!
mircea_popescu: "oh, are you writing about $item ? this is in my bayesian list, here's five things i
selected from the database of things to be
selected when this $item is mentioned! #metoo".
mircea_popescu: meanwhile there's a reason the population of eskimo lands was a) never large and b) always
selected for suckitude.
mircea_popescu opts not to ask "on arbitrary iron or on
selected iron ?"
mircea_popescu: anyway, so what's the work mode here, every now and again server sends client a rsa-encrypted packet containing 16 aes keys ; client enciphers its comms to the server with one
selected from a set of 8
selected from those 16 ; and deciphers server's with one
selected from set of 8 other than previous set. now and again burns a key.
mircea_popescu: now suppose i want to read some of this memory. what happens is that the controller reads A WHOLE LINE, and then
selects from it the bit i wanted and spits it out.
mircea_popescu: yes i
select my whores. but once i
selected what may be promises, i humiliate her, i don't fucking kill her.
mircea_popescu: see, this is the problem :
selection and education are different.
mircea_popescu: was rather accomodating when i ended up stealing his js to make trilema give
selection urls.
mircea_popescu: the specific item here discussed is an EXACT rehash of say ttp://trilema.com/2012/and-another-one-bites-the-dust-bitmarketeu/#
selection-55.0-57.87 ; which while 5 years old is nevertheless entirely identical ; which is the problem here -- that a specific sort of "mind" keeps making a specific sort of mistake. which is why all the discussions about
http://trilema.com/2013/the-story-of-pointless-and-witless/ and so on and so fo
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and here's a bit of an evolutionary biology mindbomb : since the ability to distinguish one's own sons from other's sons is positively
selected in males, it is altogether probable males have developed the ability to recognize their own spawn as such.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-16#1725827 << in fact this is the very substance of the argument : because of the immense inertia involved, it is "safe" to have children spawned by the idiots. the large numbers of non-idiots or should i say not-specifically-
selected-for-idiocy antecessors will slowly filter back out, so you get something for nothing.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: i'd much rather have a flock of girls spawned by the common man who despise their stupid mothers ; than a flock of girls spawned by whatever set of bio-
selected women however you care to
select them.
mircea_popescu: and of course, "Alan Green, named ambassador to Romania by President George Bush [who called him "a good friend", "intransigent", "well introduced to my take on freedom and democracy"], died Friday in his home in Palm Springs, Calif. He was 75. Mr. Bush
selected Mr. Green in 1989, and he moved into the American Embassy in Bucharest just two weeks before the dictator, Nicolae Ceausescu, was executed."
mircea_popescu: and in more domestic tranquility : a girl made bolognese, with fusili ; i made spicy paprika chicken, with penne rigate. there's now available A
SELECTION of pasta leftovers for breakfast!
mircea_popescu: but your argument was "i remain unconvinced that
selection applied to us base stock will filter anything of quality", and this doesn't discuss culture (or rather, it proposes "but what if we fixed culture").
mircea_popescu: yeah, perfectly possible my
select works better for slits than pipes.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes in general i find
select women infinitely more dependable than
select men ; this may be an artefact of my very female focus tho.
mircea_popescu: a) рф ? rly ? wtf is рф ? b) publicdocumens/1312420 ? really ? WHAT THE FUCK is being communciated, am i often going to do
select where = randomnumber ? c) pdf, really ? fu
mircea_popescu: 2. we
select the first 22 bits of the dividend, to wit 1 0100 1100 1110 1010 0110 0 and we compare the divisor to it. as the divisor is larger, we add one further bit, obtaining 1 0100 1100 1110 1010 0110 01.
mircea_popescu: side beenfit of
selecting for stupid. ftr, i know of no other nazism that actually put idiocy in the spec for aryanism.
mircea_popescu: at which point i feel compelled to quote
http://trilema.com/2014/the-death-of-taxes/#selection-185.0-185.1138 : "So we understand each other : John is some poor and kinda stupid kid from some ghetto in some indistinct townlet. One day, Mircea the Bad comes there on whatever business, sits down in the bar with his two bitches curled up at his feet and drinks a rum or something. The girls from the ghetto, for love of their coun
mircea_popescu: could trivially throw out a large chunk by applying methodical
selection criteria. "fails to include its dataset, NUKED"
mircea_popescu: i suppose this also could go on the list, other than the teixochips and microscope : depdfizing and
SELECTING the decent papers in that pile.
mircea_popescu: so many movements consisting of various
selections of seated dorks...
mircea_popescu: in other words : there's no safe assumptions in biology provided by biology, but only by physics. because
selection will actually cover anything.
mircea_popescu: it's plants which have been
selected for the only hopefully-economically-useful trait available. which is already a very distant push.
mircea_popescu: so effort was instead moved to plants, which are three degrees of magnitude simpler. there, the approach works, you blast a square mile worth of soy with random nonsense and then
select the few plants still standing. which is how the whole "glycosate-resistent" craze started : it's not DESIGNER plants.
