mircea_popescu: come to think about it, 80% of trilema is in one way and another, "please adlai, stop being fucking adlai in the fucking head ; please
kanzure, please this that and the other".
mircea_popescu: " There is an ad hoc demonstration of a new product, an AT&T "secure" phone, supposedly the first conversation-scrambler that's as simple to use as a standard-issue phone." << the
kanzure mickey mouse club still doing this btw.
mircea_popescu: if phuctor stayed forever in the "oh, if someone wants to... he could..." bla bla, we'd still have nothing there, and presumably be very happy with it, too. god knows
kanzure amstan whatever other tard in the circus has nothing for their decade+, and are VERY happy with the state of affairs.
mircea_popescu: everyone's fucked in the head with the whole
kanzure nonsense.
mircea_popescu: so no, in treating all comers equally they PRODUCED the problem. because if father is incapable of rejecting you there's exactly 0 incentive to anything but gabriel_laddelize/adlai/
kanzure/etc all fucking day long.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: or if you prefer, douchebag or zx2c4 or
kanzure or whatever. the postmodern world consists of a bunch of "directors" (in their own mind) who might maybe consider giving ~you~ a role in their WoWoW thing they've got going -- in their skull.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, i'm just saying, the thing you discuss, with "has costs", works a ~certain~ way. and if you recall how NOPENOPE NOPE!!!
kanzure was wrt getting his inept bs in functional shape, you realise that they will NEVER do any work.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform actually, exactly like
kanzure and friends. they've nothing to do with the topic they discuss, but they do enjoy the attention from you know, "authority".
mircea_popescu: there's a petulent dork going about on twitter about he "wrote about bitcoin before it was cool". i suspect the whole "cypherpunk" group of
kanzure s secretly hold the same belief, that they're relevant through their failure.
mircea_popescu: in other vaguely related lulz : the "disability weight" is a nonsensical scalar measure invented by the
kanzure type idiots who deal in "DALY" ie "societal measures of health" and such bullshit. they publish lousy fanfic with some regularity, which can be amusing. for instance, as per the 2004 official truth, blindness was the 2nd most serious problem, (after alzheimer's, ahead of schizophrenia, being the top 3) with a nonsen
mircea_popescu: children unqualified to whore out to goats running around calling themselves
kanzure and whatnot.
mircea_popescu: the whole fucking POINT of french revolution was "we can make things -- soldiers, arms for those soldiers, culture for their fathers and wives, CHEAPER and MORE ABUNDANT if we chinese it." "but will it be as good ?" "i can't hear you over the
kanzure of my superficiality"
☟︎ mircea_popescu:
kanzure you were judged and came out worthless ; waste the rest of your inconsequential time somewhere else.
mircea_popescu: and speaking of "i've been around for 8 years and i imagine this means something notwithstanding i got nothing for show for it", hey
kanzure are ye busy reading the logs and reforming yourself into republican shape, or are ye back on the old bandwagon of idiocy, sucking from the same old bottle of stupid ?

mircea_popescu:
kanzure dja have any idea how dumb you look going in with an attempt to impress by EXPENDITURE, and then on the flimsiest of examination appearing unable to explain WHAT you bought ? tell you what, the usg you seem so keen to emulate spent a trillion and similary "wait for plane catalog day". or alternatively, has some littoral cardboard models that can't float.
mircea_popescu:

mircea_popescu:
kanzure that he's not qualified to do things with his head, look for a plumber job.
mircea_popescu: (this is a significant problem. consider a model : there's what, ten-twenty millions of bernsteins,
kanzure , fyr and what have you on one hand ; and only a hundred or so of us. even if we were to work a full 200 hour's week, if on average one needs 1k man-hours of constant whipping to redress into humanity, we encounter the following birthday paradox : either the whipping is undirected, in which case every tard gets 15 minut
mircea_popescu:
kanzure you could probably RETYPE, by your own hand, all the science worth existing being produced each day thrice over.
mircea_popescu:
kanzure the crap i mean, actual bad "research" papers.
mircea_popescu:
kanzure it's empty wankery of the sort a certain kind of us-born, esl drone (aka, castrato) engages in.
mircea_popescu:
kanzure http://ledgerx.com/is-btc-real << this is uniquely stupid. for one thing, the "conceptualization" of bitcoin as a "real number" is below sophomoric. there is no such thing as a "btc", properly speaking ; it's satoshis all the way down, and they are integers.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu:

mircea_popescu: <
kanzure> what's the fastest microcritter and how fast would the travel have to be to keep up (including opencv delays)? << some spore shooting organisms do crazy shit like 20m/s speeds reached within a fraction of a second / the first milimeter of travel.
mircea_popescu: dood did an early bfl cutup too.
kanzure do you know him ?
mircea_popescu: <
kanzure> well who's at the top then << i am, aren't i.
mircea_popescu:
kanzure the overhead of movement is 90% + of the cost you incur ; and 1% or less of the point of interest. microscopy is supposed to be gifs. and correctly colorized so as to allow me to get back the electron microscope original.
mircea_popescu: <
kanzure> also it's because i feel ashamed for not having thousands of hours of microscopy video already << i hope shame intensifies. but in any case : why the fuck wouldf you make it video.
mircea_popescu: <
kanzure> jrayhawk_: would you be willing to host a microscope? responsibilities would include keeping it plugged in and internet connected. also there would be an irc bot that controls where it looks. you'd also be pestered to load samples periodically. << did this 2014 idea ever get implemented ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu:
kanzure i can't discern much from this wall of links. can i have a three sentence summary ?

kanzure> there is a certain amount of equipment you need before you can do useful biology things << hey
kanzure do you have children ?
mircea_popescu:
kanzure this jan 2009 log is entertaining. i take it the ongoing decade has not resulted in any "some random company needs us to design them some manufacturing assembly equipment. We say we'll do it cheaper (or whatever), we license it all open source and so on, make our money from it, and apply it to what we need to get done in our tech-base of free stuff anyway."
mircea_popescu:
kanzure mind asking him to come over ? i'll rate him anyway on teh basis of what i've seen
mircea_popescu: 14:43 <
kanzure> i was just going through "the list" in my head (i don't really have a list, i'm just making things up that sound important) << ehehehe. this is becoming very alike that seinfeld episode where they had an opposite world and there was an opposte alf named fenn and so on. THE RSMT!!!
mircea_popescu:
kanzure> i wonder if people just signed their work with leibniz's name as a way to get it preserved << your reference points are pythagoras and perhaps
mircea_popescu:
kanzure you are experiencing the following problem : you do ocr on old text, which produces ambiguities that bite you in the ass. yes the string "patent" can be found in medieval and early modern period documents. the item thereby denoted however is not a patent.
mircea_popescu: 12:23 <
kanzure> there is a certain argument about not always throwing away legacy code, but i currently forget the exact argument << it was joel writing up netscape implosion.

mircea_popescu:
kanzure fluid respiration does happen, and has happened since the 70s. it's not even that costly, biologically. lung NUTRITION however is impossibru.

mircea_popescu:
kanzure i lean on people all the damned time, what are you talking about.
mircea_popescu:
kanzure the trying to figure it out, no. the expecting i'll justify myself, yes.
mircea_popescu:

mircea_popescu:
kanzure " Obviously there is no possiblity of meaning outside of a structure of authority, and the authority can not be predicated on the meaning."
☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu:
