☝︎ a111: Logged on 2017-07-14 01:14 mircea_popescu: i thought he was doing a plane thing
mircea_popescu: for instance : if i were solving this for military purposes i would have the machine list all targets it can visit such that it can still reach one landing spot, and then choose one to visit RANDOMLY. this offers some very strong guarantees : a) each machine will touch one target ; b) the algo can be recursed at ANY point (such as power failure) ; c) if you make a fleet of them you get coverage at no communication expense.
phf: well, your basic algorithm is nearest neighbor, but then you can assign random weights to sites of interest, to ensure that different machines prioritize different walks (even if they get dropped from same location)
mircea_popescu: fwiw balloon-glider is a solution to this problem in the sense straight razor and barber's bowl is a solution to flebotomy. it does work, as it did long ago, but it does also kinda ignore the more recent past.
mircea_popescu: if you are destroying the targets the solution is rocket engine, which by now are cheap and easy to make. if you are merely diddling the target the solution is flying lawnmower. (although if you only want to do it monentarily, such as picture taking as opposed to eg van ecking the solution really is satellite).

"i was in the situation room!!!". she was saying, basically, that while she formally appears a redditard like any other, let them not forget that nevertheless she has... priviledged access to... special technol
mircea_popescu: that was the whole thing. that's all she had to communicate, when all is said and done.
andreicon: then some russki said she runs win2003 on her exchange server and from there it all went to shit

mircea_popescu: this is your error here : when you say "they still have years of catching up to do" you imagine a theoretical construct that has no bearing to reality. just because you're far away doesn't mean you're far ahead. as it happens, you aren't, western women will survive much better than western men.

trinque: andreicon: nothing sad about the towering achievements of better men, aside one's own narcissism
trinque: or if sad's your thing, that's fine too
mircea_popescu: trinque young Martial walks into the office of the Odessan Poet Combine, explains to the man at the desk behind the typerwiter that he wants to be a poet. "are you sad, young man ?" "no." "then what do you want ?!"
mircea_popescu: of course now i can't find the whole classification. do you recall where it sez there's two types, the type that prices her cunt to work and the type that prices it to not work ?
mircea_popescu: aand in other wtf, i just ran into an unexpected wall.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform do you know of any russian item more or less like здреанца ?
mircea_popescu: well here's the beauty of it : this item does exist in russian, according to romanians.
mircea_popescu: i don't mean, it exists a little. i mean it exists like sevastopol.
mircea_popescu: you understand an entire people hallucinated a whole fucking etymological line in a neighbour's language ?
phf: apparently the complete form is "davai zdreanta, desdemona! -- kakoy zdreanta, otela, blya??"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: phf are you proposing this is merely kishinev nonsense ?
mircea_popescu: for everyone else : занавеску (zanavesku) is how you say curtain ; but the esku final sounds exactly like the romanian name thing, pop-escu.
phf: asciilifeform: i used to try and clarify the inflection, but then realized that it's mostly meaningless for the anglophones. so however much it grates,
☟︎ phf: "zanavesku is how you say curtain" is probably the correct method
mircea_popescu: he was intimating someone besides ro army conquered odessa!
phf: asciilifeform: same here! but not for genpop
phf: the elusive Reader of The Logs, you know nsa agents. don't want them to stress too much
phf: just doing my part in making the logs inclusive AND gender neutral

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-13#1682208 << when I was a teen-lobbes I worked the service desk at a grocery store. In addition to selling lotto/scratch tickets I also handed out (and, if requested, cashed) the paychex to fellow coworkers.
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2017-07-13 03:51 mod6: the worst part about the lotto tickets people, is they buy them, then more often than not (it seems like), insist on scratching them off right there and then.
lobbes: On several occasions I witnessed same 40ish y/o dude cash his check (roughly $200), buy 10 $20 scratch tickets, scratch them on-the-spot, then 're-invest' any winnings until he reached $0.
lobbes: This was always amusingly contrasted with the many foreigners that worked there in the summer; they'd Western Union that shit immediately to home country.
