mircea_popescu: The first time I taught undergraduates I was surprised to learn that most of the students had no ability to judge if their answers seemed plausible. [...] You could ask a question about a guy throwing a football, and answers would range from 1 meter/second all the way to 5000 meters/second. You could ask a question about how far someone can hit a baseball and answers would similarly range from a few meters to a few k
mircea_popescu: ilometers. No one would notice when answers were wildly wrong. [...] Since I began working in the business world I’ve noticed that most people never develop that skill. Stick a number in a sentence and people just mentally run right over it, you might as well have inserted some klingon phrases. Some of the better actuaries do have some nice numerical intuition, but a surprising number don’t. They can calculate,

mircea_popescu: it's a) exactly my experience and b) the fundamental reason the cattle is despised, actually.

mircea_popescu: people not washing is easier to tolerate. much easier.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform imo, the " and why do you use that weirdo archaic word 'sky' anyway, it's 'ceiling'" is exactly definitorily dumb.
mircea_popescu: dumb in my head is the situation of one who takes his circumstance, whatever it may be, as the complete story.
mircea_popescu: which is why things like "x animal sought to find its home" makes the animal seem smart, or w/e the opposite of dumb is.
mircea_popescu: it's also the deep reason women have been throughout human society and the centuries been regarded as intellectually inferior : it just so happens that for very good biological reasson they're primed to accept new circumstances.
mircea_popescu: so in this perspective, not knowing what the sky is makes one ignorant, not dumb.

ben_vulpes: quadrotor not even having a glide rate so to speak, and suffering from the jetpack problem.
ben_vulpes: (only efficient use of a jetpack is to go up as high as possible and then glide sidways as far as possible.)

ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: the (national) gas tax hasn't even been bumped to account for inflation since...93?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes let me put it this way : trucks are an excellent midrange solution. if the distance they travel is neither too long nor too shoirt, they do fine
mircea_popescu: (length in this impoverished model means nothing other the inverse of density : the longer the distance the lower the density)
mircea_popescu: on very short distances they suffer from high density problems (ie, if we live three blocks from each other in manhattan anything';s better than trying to ship you stuff)
nubbins`: seems like drones are more a replacement for bike couriers than trucks
mircea_popescu: on very long distances they suffer from low desnity problem (ie, if you want this sent 5000 miles away, odds are there's not a road leading to your destination)
mircea_popescu: both classes of problems are being controlled atm with artificial restraints, but technology esentially means arbitrage between actual and artificial restraints.
mircea_popescu: and mind that "more dollars are printed" does not in fact work to maintain infrastructure.
mircea_popescu: which is why one's own two legs are such valuable infrastructure, moreso than any car.
ben_vulpes: nevertheless, it obviates aws/fedex/ups' obligation to invest in the road.
ben_vulpes: i'm kind of horrified at the notion that aws will outlive the usg.
mircea_popescu: even so. look at it this way : zimmerman died, his pgp still in use.
ben_vulpes: require vast orchestration overhead to survive. not like pgp and bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: making corpses is a surer way to power than making money.
ben_vulpes: better be long amazon than basically anyone else in the atoms biz in the us.
ben_vulpes: not so much long amazon as short everyone else.
mircea_popescu: you don't buy X because it's good, you buy it because it'll outlive everyone else, shitty as it is.
ben_vulpes: lol let's not get ahead of ourselves now
ben_vulpes: i'm going to focus on murder and mayhem for my shartup business plan
ben_vulpes: and in the meantime, i'm going long this girl.

ascii_field: see, the rectoanalyzer will not be used by conventional 'daylight' usg, no
mircea_popescu: i surmise you don't use it in the christian sense, but what do you mean by it ?
mircea_popescu: o, right. it will be used by soemthing that doesn't actually exist ?
ascii_field: it'll be used by folks with the access to the prisoner and some plausible cover
mircea_popescu: (by which i mean : has teh physical characteristics of inexistence)
ascii_field: why so certain that this is an impossible or even unlikely scenario ?
mircea_popescu: people mostly don't believe the usg statements in the case of ulbricht. what when they're actually made up ?
mircea_popescu: because your description of this entity has more in common with that which doesn't exist than with that which does, and so parsimoniously it doesn't exist.
ascii_field: ulbricht, say, will be listed as 'dead of prison buggery hiv+' in his papers. but in actuality will sit down on this auto-electric-anthill at langley
mircea_popescu: anyway, back on the "salvation" angle : is the doctor who cures your cancer savbing you ? suppose you die coming out of the hospital run over by a bus. what salvation ?
ascii_field: or is mircea_popescu proposing that this is -EV for the folks involved
ascii_field: by 'save' meant the banal fact that to prisoner, his captors may as well be 'the universe'
mircea_popescu: i am saying two things. one is that your model of "folks involved" is actually inconsistent. the other is that for any consistent model, the -ev is so pronounced as to make any other alternative rationally preferable.
ascii_field: it did not help warsaw rebellion that ru tanks were 2hrs away
ascii_field: well, the doom of the jailers, whatever form it might take
mircea_popescu: you understand ? the ro revolution was not in the slightest hindered by the fact the ro army tanks were right there.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: slightly misunderstanding example. the ru tanks emboldened the rebels, hastening their deaths
ascii_field: used here as illustration that the imminent demise of usg and the broader zombie civilization that created it, does not separate ulbricht's arse from anthill
mircea_popescu: but think for a moment through it. so, in a country where petreus can't have fun with an ugly stupiod old whore, there still exist these people who can do outrageous things.
mircea_popescu: clinton ejaculating on some fat broad is not outrageous, sparked an outrage.
ascii_field: outrageous things such as lowering a general into pederasty, for example
mircea_popescu: they did it themselves, by doing what you propose is "unavoidable".
mircea_popescu: suppose petreus didn't go down for it, went on a snowden tour. what then ?
mircea_popescu: the dod accuses him so and so,. he's all over al jazeera explaining what a poopyhead obama is.
ascii_field: unless he hides in putin's house, he'll be disappeared for less than a whitehouse dinner costs
mircea_popescu: now, granted, a transhumanist in the audience aged about 11 and with an education consisting mostly of harry potter books may think himself so important that this is a bad deal.
mircea_popescu: take an example further away, may help. so cristina ordered the death of a prosecutor that was going to put her in jail.
mircea_popescu: what was the cost of this ? there's three working on it now. so the cost was, superficially, problem x3.
mircea_popescu: plus, everything else, starting with the press and ending with... who the fuck wants to talk to her now ? kim ?
mircea_popescu: i doubt anyone seriously believes she moves into anything but a jail cell once term ends.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: but in any case, her negotiating basis changed, and so now the victory of the opposition is incontrovertible.
mircea_popescu: costs, baby. nothing's more expensive than action, especially when you're in a swamp.
mircea_popescu: your model worked fine in a world of lumberjacks and church bell towers a day's walk away from each other.
mircea_popescu: that world doesn't exist, most soldiers die of ricochet.
ascii_field: they died of ricochet (well, shrapnel) in 1915
mircea_popescu: your model's anchored in an older time, a quieter time.
ascii_field: my model is more of a hypothesis re: what tools usg will pick up when the usual ones (magick away the universe with idiot media tricks) begin to fail
mircea_popescu: take, for argument's sake, the guy in tienanmen. now, the cost of the tank running him over ? w/e, five cents in detergent and ten cents in gasoline.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field the idea that as the skin fails away the body can move to a 2nd line of defense is ridiculous. people with burns over 80% of the surface don't survive on their own.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: the only reason we know about him is the gigantic crew of usg photographers and a usg planetary mediachumatron ready to endlessly reprint the photo
mircea_popescu: what, fetlife will order my content off my blog ? what's your scenario here ?
mircea_popescu: this isn't a conflict that can be won. inasmuch as it's a conflict, it was already lost.
ascii_field: and british, australian, french, etc. north kr
mircea_popescu: what makes you think you can make a north kr. with fatties ?
mircea_popescu: if you were a film producer you would filter the actors, yet reality doesn't care ?
ascii_field: not sure why one can't build it out of whoever, of lemurs, of bonobos.
mircea_popescu: for all you know sperm tries to impregnate the tiles everytime someone jacks off.
mircea_popescu: this seemed a plausible theory for centuries at a stretch.
ascii_field: which? inertial guidance for spermatozoa ?
mircea_popescu: no, generation of demons and monsters through masturbation.

jurov: wouldn't happen in 1600, yes
chetty: in 1600 there were still places to flee to
mircea_popescu: jurov i don't recall what the positions were there, was it the pro-russians saying the pro-nato downed it with a jet, and the pro-nato saying the pro-russians took it down with a buk ?
jurov: pro russians and alf said urks downed it with air-to-air missiles
mircea_popescu: "Investigation into the chemical composition showed that they are remains from a BUK missile, among which fragments from the warhead – the pay load. The fragment of the warhead consists of a low-quality alloy of steel common to this form of ammunition. It appears from electroscopic enlargements that a fragment shows a cast-on Cyrillic serial number from the Russian language next to a partly broken number 2."
jurov: it's still underway, we'll see
mircea_popescu: jurov so wait, the fact that it was downed by a missile is not disputed ? then why's this relevant ?
jurov: everything is disputed and muddied beyond all recognition
jurov: but eventually some picture emerges. that would not be the case at all in 1600
jurov: just that russians seem to stay stuck several centuries ago. to detriment of everyone.
mircea_popescu: jurov so the idea being that it's better in one empire than the other ?
jurov: i did not mean to take it that far

jurov: is it a big misrepresentation to label it as paranoia?
mircea_popescu: only inasmuch as you think this is a label to begin with.

mircea_popescu: one of the most fascinating things about reading satoshi's statements is just how often he makes the correct choice for the wrong reasons.
mircea_popescu: as a fine example, the bit danielpbarron quotes : "The proof-of-work also solves the problem of determining representation in majority decision making. If the majority were based on one-IP-address-one-vote, it could be subverted by anyone able to allocate many IPs. Proof-of-work is essentially one-CPU-one-vote."
mircea_popescu: if this implies he settled on pow for that reason, it then follows he chose the correct mechanism for exactly the wrong reason, becuase that's the only aspect under which pow has failed.
