shinohai: It might go down like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bDg7n-chhU
asciilifeform: even asciilifeform knows 'corpse in 3b'
shinohai: asciilifeform haz `petz`
asciilifeform: shinohai: just 1 ( unless you count houseplants ). why?
shinohai: No reason at all. asciilifeform is lucky to have petz, as am I.
mircea_popescu: speaking of paucity in scientific literature : /me has not to date encountered a proper discussion of laplace's "sun also rises" probability ; notwithstanding the pantsuits got butthurt enough over the "absurdity" of it to pretend "bayesian" is the proper name for laplaceian statistics, nobody seems to have put the elbow greate into it.
mircea_popescu: ie, it's not just cryptography that suffers from a shocking dearth of actually useful contribution,
shinohai: I thought "The Sun also rises" was Heningway work
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: expand on subj plox for the l0gz ☟︎
mircea_popescu: shinohai laplace points out (correctly) that a first heuristic for "what is the probability of sun rising tomorrow" is to divide the number of times it was observed rising to the total number of assays. in this case, your life in days / your life in days + 1.
asciilifeform: ( butthurtz over laplace?! )
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the above is very problematic for the "global warming" mindset.
mircea_popescu: (no, "global warming" is absolutely not novel ; the same sort of cathar nonsense was prevalent in all ages of great pretense and low literacy, usuallyu known as dark ages)
asciilifeform: i thought the sun item was a wink at the fact that statistic is an inference tool, not divine revelation
mircea_popescu: not really. pretty much everything that's pompously called "bayesian statistics" in the "rationalist" circles (not just the self-labeled internet tards, but eg googleheads) is simply lifted laplace / serials shaved off.
shinohai: hahaha the laplace
shinohai: Indeed correct
mircea_popescu: the exact quote is "En faisant, par exemple, remonter la plus ancienne époque de l'histoire à cinq mille ans, ou à 1 826 21jours, et le soleil s'étant levé constamment dans cet intervalle , à chaque révolution de vingt-quatre heures, il y a 182621/1 à parier contre un qu'il se lèvera encore demain. Mais ce nombre est incomparablement plus fort pour celui qui connaissant par l'ensemble des phénomènes le principe ré
mircea_popescu: gulateur des jours et des saisons, voit que rien dans le moment actuel ne peut en arrêter le cours."
mircea_popescu: and the exact problem is directly obvious if one considers HOW exactly the "data" of "climate science" was obtained. "what do you mean you have to be there to observe!"
mircea_popescu: they want observation-by-proxy, like everything else.
shinohai: mircea_popescu also speaks French? not surprised
mircea_popescu: um. i spoke french before i spoke english.
shinohai: Ugh. English is such dirty tongue, even to natico. Saves?
mircea_popescu: anyway, his point stands -- absent any qualitative understanding, ie for a black box world, the probability as declared is the best approximation. this is no small matter, at all.
mircea_popescu: shinohai i actually don't mind it, it's sort of like trying to write only in aliterations.
mircea_popescu: !~calc 182621/5000
jhvh1: mircea_popescu: 182621/5000 = 36.5242
mircea_popescu: pretty fine 365 days and 1/4 value he got there, too.

mircea_popescu: (current value is 365.2422, but it is likely his value was closer to the correct value at his time than ours.)
mircea_popescu: ie, days become longer by a few ms each century because reasons.
mircea_popescu: (reasons being mostly moon driving tides which slow down earth, and imperfect free movement due to friction in charged plasma field.)

mircea_popescu: aha
asciilifeform: ( and we had the babylonian seals thread. standardized seals are useless. but magic value that sram forgets if boobytrap sprung, is prolly best physicaltamper trap possible short of keeping subject under own pillow to guard )
asciilifeform: pictured toolbox also seems to contain items for use with babylonian-style seals
mircea_popescu: well, more evolved versions actually. (have item that hashes time counter + fixed salt through known process ; wipe salt if sprung.
asciilifeform: presumably these were also used in n00kz ( they were used in konsoomer items for some unknown to me reason, i have a calculator still with virginal seal on bolts )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: time counter is tricky because clock drift
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform amusingly, the space heaters of the era came with, shit you not, nickeline wire + lead stamp seal on the screw-in cover.
asciilifeform: but is also used, incl. in konsoomer mtgox keyz etc

asciilifeform: item is really hightech version of ye olde glass rod.
mircea_popescu: aha
mircea_popescu: tho really, there's more em planes in coil of wire than there's cleavage planes in foundry glass.
asciilifeform: as for the peculiar iron box and led display, it's a straight rework of old sov calc chassis, which is telltale evidence of when item was designed : '80s, the last time anything interesting happened in orcistan.

mircea_popescu: why exactly raid reconstruction would require reboot is an open question, and exactly contrary to the specific design of this item
asciilifeform: was my thought.
asciilifeform: infuriating nonsense.
mircea_popescu: why exactly i am still paying fucking fiatola ugstani retards to host servers for me when there's a whole lot of supposedly competent, supposedly business oriented and not yet entirely senile bright minds also an open question
mircea_popescu: but whatever, why should anything work well by itself.
