http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-22#1487103 << in a word : drones. i met some local kids recently who were doing exactly this. they shot a scene for the latest xmen movie but most of what they do is 3d modelling like this for local businesses. these kids were ~so~ sophisticated. made it seem like drone + software did 99% of the work on its own.

thestringpuller: don't want the children of hipsters from brooklyn to grow up and try to make everything 100% socialist

thestringpuller: isn't ironic people say shit like this, but then luke-jr joins the channel to get "support for hardfork". then immediately after being shut down is like "okay guys. they still hate us power rangers. I don't think we should talk about hard forks any time soon, cause it ain't happening"

mircea_popescu: so make it linkable to so it can go down every week and we can bitch at you also.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's two kinds of men in this world. those who walk with their life in palm of hand ; and those who have a job to do.
mircea_popescu: mr mold got a job to do. much like mr. max, and every other capon in the history of "civilisation", he got a snatch he's chained to and belabouring to please.
mircea_popescu: you hear that ? judge says, hacking usg computers fair game.
mircea_popescu: lol fags in the us army ruining us army proved unfounded ?
mircea_popescu: anyway asciilifeform , the usg.desperation should be palpable, if they're scraping the barrel so close to the wood they've dredged up curtis yarvin, even.
mircea_popescu: anyway, nice idiotarian piece, most premises are respectable, every single conclusion is tendentiously false.
mircea_popescu: i suppose in some circles this sort of thing is an achievement.
phf: so i still have time to fix bot before asciilifeform releases own in six months to a year, right?
mircea_popescu: was ~the only part of the us that didn't stink of ustardism.
mircea_popescu: most of them got shut down within 16 hours or somesuch.
mircea_popescu: i suspect most of this was voluntary, actually. it's good business for them to avoid anything with claws.
mircea_popescu: which, honestly, is EXACTLY how things should fucking work.
mircea_popescu: there's absolutely nothing wrong with "police brutality", just as long as the brutalized are the losers. rape is actually right and proper, just as long as the only rape victims are poor women and their children, whatever sex or age. etcetera.
mircea_popescu: the reason the good count failed (which has little to do with his being a nut) is that briefly, economic conditions dictated to pretend the worms are "all people". that brief bubble burst, meanwhile.
mircea_popescu: history is back on its sanity track, rather than the exceptional "tail end of industrialism before robotics" moment.
mircea_popescu: i collected more fucktoys than you collected post parcels, here i am.
mircea_popescu: no, because the magical moment of "tail end of industrialism before robotics" are gone.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: i'm surprised you haven't been to a burn-like festival.
mircea_popescu: THEN it was a certain way. but then and then only, at no point prior and - if trhere's any mercy in the heavens - at no point ulterior.
mircea_popescu: i was too preoccupied otherwise to take pictures of street - with channel down middle, like 1600 spain!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform of course i do! what, where the fuck do you pick up fucktoys, huh ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what do i catch ? syphilis ? not that i ever did, but it's a quintuple shot of biseptol. tuberculosis ? lmao. you can't even catch tuberculosis, there's a "must be this poor to ride" that train. what, exactly ? lice is directly visible.
mircea_popescu: other than pancreatic cancer, that one scythed lady which cost us both jobs and mcculler, there's ~nothing. and you don't catch that.
mircea_popescu: even if they were, it'd be more the fault of your mom not coming from a sufficiently slutty line of whores, to give you good immunity matrix,
mircea_popescu: you, personally, today, couldn't catch tb if you tried.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the point here is : that for as long as "upper body strength" was the bottleneck limiting human civilisation, you had male citizenship. had females been advantaged by nature there, you'd have had female citizenship. they aren't, it's a cruel joke, watch slavegirls trying to build up muscle and weep sometime.
mircea_popescu: THEN steam power rendered actual muscle irrelevant, but control wasn't good enough to supplant people. and so there was a brief period, almost a century in length, during which "humanity" ie, the ability to finely control complex mechanisms, was the basis of humanity.
mircea_popescu: and so all the nonsense from the various exalted diet technichians, engels and carnegey and whatnot.
mircea_popescu: but that period ended. and with it - all the momentary crap deluding itself with permanence.
mircea_popescu: today control is even cheaper than power. and the basis for humanity is vested in a % of a %, rather than "men" or "everyone patient enough"
mircea_popescu: apple orchards now are constructed for robot. ie, tree isn't even recognizable tree anymore, but this lengthy thread on a stick.
mircea_popescu: best example though : cereal crops. are you aware it is today more productive to build them in the pillar system than in the traditional plowing system ?
mircea_popescu: EVEN IF you lose the difference between pi r^2 and 4r^2
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is besides the point. i did not say "computer". i said control.
mircea_popescu: it is cheaper for you to install a camera and "image recognition" than to hire a guard ; and the results ARE BETTER.
mircea_popescu: even as they don't work. but guard doesn't work even worse.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's basically this crane that spins. the corners aren't cultivated, but the crane tends to the crop 100%
mircea_popescu: which is the problem here - not that they cheated or not. that they can't be caught. which they can't. end of story.
mircea_popescu: bluffing - is "cheating", to the noob. however, bluffing when the opponent can't afford to call, ie, doesn't have the resources to take advantage, is simply history.
mircea_popescu: and so that's the point there, not whether google did or did not create the item in question. but whether robotized control of little black discs is good enough to push out the human. that - they showed to be.
mircea_popescu: truth is a thing in engineering. it has ~no bearing on the affairs of mankind. do you know why ?
mircea_popescu: you can't accept the premise as a theoretical construct to examine ?
mircea_popescu: how's this different from "i don't accept the premise earth is not at center of world" ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, since we got the logs back, here's why : truth is but one.
mircea_popescu: this is strategically disastrous for any living thing. imagine, cod taking "the correct route". this means -> scania. ouch. imagine person making rsa key, taking the "correct" key. ie what, everyone takes the same primes, because they're the largest primes that fit in the notation and so "best" and so "rational choice". it's exactly a matter of the "inverse of safety from numbers" thing we discussed recently.
mircea_popescu: in negotiation, in any human endeavour, "rational" is predictable and predictable is death.
mircea_popescu: hence stuff like specificity of diddling. hence all sorts of things.
mircea_popescu: meta-rational is no more rational than complex numbers are.
mircea_popescu: of course meta-rational is a thing. but sovereign reason is a very different thing from mere "reason" as peddled by the feminine usg & friends.
mircea_popescu: irrational has plenty of space in it for many different things.
mircea_popescu: ha. your notion of truth is either not complete, or not formulable. you seem to favour the later, which is why you keep ending in trouble in discussions here.
mircea_popescu: but hark that once your notion of truth is unformulable you lost what tu quoque claimed is the basis for science, id est, reproducibility.
mircea_popescu: paradigm secretion is an act of the endocrine gland that is called "brain". and it works in science, with the eternal and irrepudiable evidence of nature right in front of eyes.
mircea_popescu: live things are full of shit. this is what the terms mean.
mircea_popescu: we were discussing how "X is full of shit", but that X took values from a field of AGENTS, which is to say the people to whom history has meaning. and it was observed that the grave is the only cure for their shit contents. then you moved to talking about Y, but Y are no longer X, instead they are taken from a field of non-agents, historical memories.
mircea_popescu: because the shit contents is due, as we discussed, to the imperatives of the flesh. if you're an agent and you wanna survive which means you wanna survive and are an agent, you're stuck with the shit.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, what majorana or minorana said or didn't say, inasmuch as it's true, has little to do with anything but that - its truth.
mircea_popescu: i guess so. plenty of "lysenkoist" dudes were as convinced of the entire shitstack as yarvin is convinced the usg will survive.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless... gotta placate the cunt he's chained to.
mircea_popescu: (and i don't specifically mean his wife, here. i mean everything, the demands "not getting facebook account banned" or w/e, and paying taxes, and not running red lights or pissing on cop's shoes etc. the divine cunt.)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform indeed. quite possibly lysenko himself made it up as he went, like trad. curt buffoon.
mircea_popescu: ie, put on the spot, got in "the zone", sprouted some thing, audience clapped, the end.
mircea_popescu declines any credit or responsibility for the matter. for one thing, ancient observations, for the other, not my fault they hold.
mircea_popescu: (amusingly enough, the best source re that "ancient observations" is probably ~= patristics. the substance of the eternal soul, the nature of sin, all that good stuff. for all its trite-ification in the hands of the same sort of people that also created family-friendly shakespeare, it is a very powerful philosophical item. fact remains agency is an imposition upon the gnosis, which is why intelligent people dun wanna be polit
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: whatever happened to the hard fork proposal you made?

shinohai: ;;later tell mod6 builds this week completed, 2x for each distro - still running another Arch one right now
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: for my own purposes / as backup, wrote myself a real shitty and simplistic log viewer thingie just now:

Framedragger: i think connection to bouncer on that host (which is where the logs come from) is rather stable, so good for redundancy and whatnot
mod6: shinohai: good work!
mircea_popescu: oh, and to play a little "guess the argentine" : "To learn English you must begin by thrusting the jaw forward, almost clenching the teeth, and practically immbilizing the lips. In this way the English produce the series of unpleasant little mews of which their language consists."
mircea_popescu: as long as there's no clicking involved, i'm linguistislutty.
mircea_popescu: heh. i also hear about five shades between each vowel to the desperation of native english speakers. "what do you mean you can distinguish between x and y!" "of course you can!" "say it" "x, y" "it's the same thing!"

Corsets: Actually, pardon, I have a third question. What is this, exactly? I've never seen a webpage like this before.
Corsets: Okay so I'd need to make some kind of bitcoins account then? Yeah, I guess I meant your blog. more precisely, I haven't seen anyone make that kind of offer/request and then just post the pics on their blog
Corsets: And tbh I don't understand the numbers.
mircea_popescu: yeah well, i'm weird. anyway - yes, make yourself a bitcoin wallet.
mircea_popescu: it's a good thing to have anyway, you never know when you need it.
Corsets: The ones we write on our tits
mircea_popescu: * Corsets (ac38270d@gateway/web/freenode/ip.172.56.) has joined #trilema
Corsets: The wallet's downloading. I don't have a lot of space
Corsets: May I ask why we're writing ID strings on our chests?
mircea_popescu: o, if you're making a desktop one it'll take a while. chain's ~120 GB these days.
mircea_popescu: Corsets well it's only once per person you know. otherwise i'd be bankrupt, billionaire or no billionaire.
Corsets: It's on my phone as an app. I just used coinspace.
Corsets: I had to delete another one; it's downloading now, albeit slowly.
mircea_popescu: i dunno what it is, specifically, but an app prolly fits.

Corsets: I'd agree. But my views are probably not my future employers' views

Corsets: I don't even know what that is
mircea_popescu: pretty good privacy, it's an asymmetric crypto scheme. allows you to keep secrets from, say, the nsa. and also to maintain a solid identity - unlike, say, usg identity papers.
Corsets: That's certainly interesting. I don't know that I do anything illegal enough to hide from the NSA

mircea_popescu: it's this scheme to grow apple trees against a trellis
mircea_popescu: well, i'm not a buyer of farm implements and so i have no ready way to do this.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the idea is/was that rather than have tractor/combine drive to land etc, you just put pillar in middle, it does everything by spinning over the ground. you lose some land on the corners, but it's compensated by the massive savings on energy.
mircea_popescu: it's just normal land, you build the pilar on it, acts as a turning point for this long arm
mircea_popescu: and it can irrigate, treat (including at VERY narrow intervals, like hourly) etc.
mircea_popescu: basically does all the work you normally have to drive a tractor for, which is what, a dozen passes a year.
mircea_popescu: you're stuck paying 10x as much in capital goods, and end up saving 80% or so in energy costs. which in most stable farmland is a great deal.
