funkenstein_ like bitcoin, you can't fake the funk [01:05]

* asciilifeform is, contrary to pete_dushenski's lsd trip picture, very poor. [01:08]
funkenstein_ asciilifeform, still can't afford that chip fab? [01:09]
asciilifeform funkenstein_: not chip fab, either [01:09]
thestringpuller asciilifeform: you want dr. moreau's island for electronics... [01:10]
asciilifeform thestringpuller: my 'island' is an unheated, uncooled, wooden hut. [01:12]
thestringpuller when you say "my 'island'" are you talking of hypothetical super scientist island with no budget? or current laboratory? [01:14]
asciilifeform current. [01:14]
asciilifeform godforsaken hole. [01:14]
funkenstein_ how's the air quality down there? [01:16]
asciilifeform funkenstein_: worst imaginable. [01:16]
funkenstein_ O.o [01:17]
mircea_popescu funkenstein_ since they did the killing. [01:17]
funkenstein_ aha [01:18]
* mircea_popescu can imagine some pretty bad air quality. [01:18]
asciilifeform picture 'worst possible without being near-term lethal' and you have it. [01:19]
mircea_popescu in other news, went on a lark to this "power dc" ac/dc tribute band in some "rock bar" here. [01:19]
thestringpuller funkenstein_: The mothership has arrived. [01:19]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: l0l, i distinctly recall seeing an ad for precisely this during one of our walks in the city [01:20]
mircea_popescu you should have seen this thing. a space too small to keep a woman with her sister ; 5 dollar drinks ; buncha teenaged derps dressed like pizza delivery boys, backpacks i compris. which ius why nobody had a drink. [01:20]
mircea_popescu the band was ohio high bad. [01:20]
mircea_popescu and it had nothing to do with rock whatsoever. [01:20]
funkenstein_ lol, ouch [01:20]
mircea_popescu basically, argentinian : tribute band that is not a band and no tribute, in a bar that sells no drinks to some kids that are there because they got out of the rain. [01:21]
* funkenstein_ guesses it was also ear-damagingly loud [01:21]
mircea_popescu and then funkenstein_ wants to tell me about the intrinsic worth of all bipedal mouthbreathers. [01:21]
mircea_popescu i ain't buying it. [01:21]
mircea_popescu funkenstein_ no, probably on account of electricity being too expensive. [01:21]
funkenstein_ this is not my point any more than yours is to defend usgtronic idiocy [01:23]
mircea_popescu go on [01:23]
funkenstein_ most all literate europeans, including cortez, wrote of "economic prosperity beyond any we have seen", "paradise", "wisdom". Hardly just mouthbreathing. [01:26]
mircea_popescu you talking north america or central america ? [01:26]
funkenstein_ well Corez wasn't very far North afaik [01:27]
mircea_popescu so then why do you conflate the two. the people i was talking about when i said iron age were the various twerps the usians killed. [01:27]
mircea_popescu the various people the spanyards killed are some other discussion. [01:27]
asciilifeform what iron. [01:28]
funkenstein_ Iroquois nation sure seemed more advanced from my reading than say, washcorp [01:28]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform im bewing generous. [01:28]
mircea_popescu funkenstein_ a lot of talk about that. point of fact is, subsistence hunters with bow and arrow. [01:28]
mircea_popescu nobody is against the study of political, philosophycal, astronautical or any other knowledge defeated tribe had. [01:28]
mircea_popescu we are however against hteir continued physical existence. [01:29]
funkenstein_ why? [01:29]
mircea_popescu because their massacre makes the scant remaining life valuable, [01:29]
mircea_popescu allowing the common man some semblance of freedom and import for a short interval. [01:29]
funkenstein_ are we against the physical existence of monkeys? [01:29]
mircea_popescu why do you think the immigrants slaughtered the indians instead of persay teaching them to farm ? [01:30]
funkenstein_ you mean instead of learning from them how to farm [01:30]
mircea_popescu no. [01:30]
asciilifeform one reason was that agriculture is subjectively hell. [01:30]
asciilifeform and folks faced with something like an actual choice, did not choose it. [01:30]
funkenstein_ well not to the folks who knew how to do it [01:30]
asciilifeform any more than you and i choose to put hand in a bear trap [01:30]
asciilifeform funkenstein_: to anyone. the resulting population density is hell. [01:31]
assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 6900 @ 0.00071457 = 4.9305 BTC [-] [01:31]
* mircea_popescu adds "teenaged californians that know how to clean toilets" to his shopping list. [01:31]
mircea_popescu im sure they'll enjoy it on account of "knowing how to do it" [01:31]
funkenstein_ yes, knowing a useful skill and performing it is enjoyable, sometimes referred to as satori 24 [01:31]
mircea_popescu this is a pipe dream. [01:32]
mircea_popescu some skills are enjoyable. others are not. [01:32]
mircea_popescu i am a very good arithmetician, at that. [01:32]
funkenstein_ lol good point there [01:32]
funkenstein_ but never enjoy some nice arithmetic? [01:33]
mircea_popescu yes, of the subset of skills that are enjoyable, one enjoys more the ones that are useful and he's any good at [01:33]
mircea_popescu but that's besides the point. being a skilled politician is never enjoyable. [01:33]
funkenstein_ at any rate, agriculture is a great example of "whoops - shoulda asked the locals where the keys to safe are before we needlessly removed their tongues" [01:34]
mircea_popescu i don't see it. [01:34]
asciilifeform funkenstein_: the white man knew 'the keys' - 'have 99.99% of you die and you too can be subsistence hunters' [01:34]
funkenstein_ modern genetic engineering and rapid desertificatoin techniques have never reached indian levels [01:34]
mircea_popescu eh get out. [01:35]
funkenstein_ go, make a new maize [01:35]
funkenstein_ explain how it was done [01:35]
mircea_popescu the indians died of starvation, mostly. [01:35]
funkenstein_ ditto the potatoe [01:35]
funkenstein_ nonsense [01:35]
mircea_popescu there weren't enough of them to populate california. [01:35]
funkenstein_ the invading barbarians died of starvation [01:35]
funkenstein_ california was quite populated [01:35]
funkenstein_ as was modern detroit, look now [01:36]
asciilifeform for fucks sake, [01:36]

assbot Logged on 31-01-2015 01:09:34; asciilifeform: 'Every nationalist is haunted by the belief that the past can be altered. He spends part of his time in a fantasy world in which things happen as they should — in which, for example, the Spanish Armada was a success or the Russian Revolution was crushed in 1918 — and he will transfer fragments of this world to the history books whenever possible. Much of the propagandist writing of our [01:36]
mircea_popescu i think that fits. [01:37]
ben_vulpes disease also wiped out huge numbers! [01:37]
mircea_popescu ben_vulpes yes. the sort of disease that kills the hungry. [01:37]
ben_vulpes what, the hungry existed until the diseases arrived to wipe them out? [01:37]
asciilifeform ben_vulpes: elementarily, there was nothing magic about the 'red man' which kept him from breeding, like everybody else, to just short of over the carrying capacity of his lands [01:38]
asciilifeform it simply did not happen to be very high [01:38]
asciilifeform so the lsd aficionados get illusion of 'in harmony with enviro' [01:39]
asciilifeform or whatnot [01:39]
ben_vulpes lol simply means nature comes by and wallops population numbers once in a while [01:39]
mircea_popescu in point of fact as the white man put pressure on the indians, they started crossing boundries in desperate search of food. this was very successful at preventing organised resistance - idiots too busy fighting each other. [01:40]
asciilifeform in reality, say the place today called california could have supported 50,000 healthy stone age folk, or 100,000 barely-alive ripe-for-smallpox. [01:40]
mircea_popescu so much for political superiority. [01:40]
asciilifeform it will house 110,000. [01:40]
funkenstein_ i'm not claiming magic red men, i am claiming mentally ill - and markedly stupid - invaders [01:40]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform call it californy like they did :D [01:41]
ben_vulpes hm! [01:41]
funkenstein_ i'm also claiming great denial and lack of reading of relevant historical documents [01:41]
mircea_popescu funkenstein_ like ? [01:41]
funkenstein_ e.g. scalping laws of every US state rewarding people for presenting american corpses [01:42]
mircea_popescu so ? [01:42]
funkenstein_ meeting notes from Denver [01:42]
mircea_popescu "meeting notes from Denver" ?! [01:42]
mircea_popescu you mean the protocols of the learned elves of denver ? [01:42]
funkenstein_ explicit doctrines of idiocy from there for hundreds of years - must kill kill because - dumb dumb we are [01:43]
mircea_popescu mno. [01:44]
mircea_popescu must kill because can. [01:44]
funkenstein_ then starve you will [01:44]
asciilifeform funkenstein_: the 'magical wisdom of harmony with mother earth' thing won't fly. but my personal favourite crackpottery re: the indians, and one which has at least a pinch of actual historical support, is that they had to be bugsprayed to keep agricultural white man from defecting. [01:44]
funkenstein_ in a dead wasteland [01:44]
mircea_popescu eh get out. [01:45]
funkenstein_ kill because can? start with own family, then all plants and animals, finally self. [01:45]
mircea_popescu no dude. start with the monkeys. d'oh. [01:46]
funkenstein_ monkeys are fine with me, leave them there -- can eat them later if shit gets rough [01:46]
mircea_popescu you're acting like elementary points don't somehow magically exist. that pretense doesn't do anything. [01:46]
mircea_popescu obviously the white guys killed the red guys. the red guys sucked. [01:47]
funkenstein_ all of us will die, therefore we suck [01:47]
funkenstein_ how about lets try to learn from past mistakes [01:47]
mircea_popescu quite. [01:47]
asciilifeform incidentally, i notice that aficionados of crying for the indians for some odd reason cry preferentially for the ones clobbered earlier and more thoroughly, leaving not so much as a wet spot (e.g., arawak) vs the later ones who learned horse and rifle and gave white man a run for his money [01:48]
funkenstein_ thems what die will be the lucky ones [01:48]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform obviously. those showed some sign of sense. [01:48]
funkenstein_ i cry for the descendents of the fucktards who still bear the scars of mental illness [01:48]
mircea_popescu you don't get to go around putting labels on things you know. [01:48]
funkenstein_ i cry for mircea_popescu who lives in a society which grew up with no wise elders [01:48]
mircea_popescu i did ?! [01:49]
funkenstein_ *now lives [01:49]
mircea_popescu dude if your idea of wise elders is some twerps who worship the failures... [01:49]
funkenstein_ ?? [01:49]
mircea_popescu last fucking thing i want to see are some elders harping on about how great the iron age man was. srsly. [01:50]
* assbot gives voice to gabriel_laddel [01:50]
asciilifeform funkenstein_: can you describe one of the 'wise men' and his wisdom in terms that any of us might apprehend ? [01:50]
mircea_popescu it's not even ridiculous. [01:50]
asciilifeform 'it was wisdomy and truthy damnit' doesn't cut it. [01:50]
funkenstein_ asciilifeform, when I read your excellent blog I am often reminded of the aztec word "tonal" [01:51]
gabriel_laddel funkenstein_: life is ruff, here, have a blanket. [01:51]
funkenstein_ that ideal model existing in our mind of objects describing the world around us [01:51]

funkenstein_ gabriel_laddel, lol [01:51]
mircea_popescu "they had cars at the time this fuckwit was living in the dirt. do you understand ? some african monkey thinking they unveiled the sikrits of the universe AT THE SAME TIME as people doing the cern cyclotron is necessarily and by that very fact an idiot. [01:51]
mircea_popescu humanity is a thrown curve. what's ok in 700bc is not ok in 2000ad." [01:51]
mircea_popescu if i want to worship some iron age primitives, i got the greeks [01:51]
mircea_popescu i do not need nor care to mention some schmucks 5000 years late to the party. [01:52]
mircea_popescu not anymore than i care for tornatore's shepherd. [01:52]
funkenstein_ the largest city in the world in 1500 was Tenochtitlan [01:52]
mircea_popescu fuck him, retarded sicilian rediscovering the intellectual products of sheep herding in 1940 [01:52]
mircea_popescu again with mexico ? [01:52]
funkenstein_ "They had cars" - we worship retarded usans now? [01:53]
mircea_popescu ... [01:54]
asciilifeform funkenstein_: what did your neolithic folks ~demonstrably~ have, that, e.g., i, want but do not have? [01:54]
mircea_popescu what's this mezclado of everything. we talk north american indians you derp about early mexico city, i discuss tech you derp about consumers... different things yo. [01:54]
funkenstein_ asciilifeform, remember the bar here is set for - is it worth your while to go slit a throat of somebody not bother you [01:54]
asciilifeform (note that this is not a null set, but i don't expect to hear any correct answer just now) [01:55]
asciilifeform funkenstein_: the 'not bothered' part is also demonstrably false. [01:55]
asciilifeform esp. in north a. [01:55]
funkenstein_ asciilifeform, what did -your- neolithic folks demonstrably have that I want now? [01:56]
mircea_popescu eh russia wasn't even inhabited then. [01:56]
mircea_popescu tech didn't really allow for it. [01:56]
funkenstein_ mexico city is in north america afaik [01:57]
asciilifeform what's next, moscow is in europe ! [01:57]
asciilifeform technicalities. [01:57]
mircea_popescu anyway, to take that myth away : tenochtitlan had a populatiuon of 2 or 300k. in any case under 500k. [01:57]
mircea_popescu fucking ur, at the time of its beheading, was ten times that. [01:58]
mircea_popescu china had dozens of settlements larger [01:58]
mircea_popescu rome had been a million for nine or ten centuries by that point [01:58]
mircea_popescu but yes, it was by far the largest affair in the new world. because the new world sucked. [01:59]

gabriel_laddel asciilifeform: is there anything in particular DERIVE has that maxima does not? I read a presentation on the matter, which had some nice specifics (inequality support) but am curious why you fondly remember the former rather than the latter. [02:04]
asciilifeform gabriel_laddel: it has being 200KB. [02:04]
mircea_popescu maxima existed then ? [02:04]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: maxima existed in 1970s [02:04]
asciilifeform called then 'macsyma' [02:04]
mircea_popescu and i could run this on what ? [02:04]
mircea_popescu in 1993 [02:04]
asciilifeform which 'this' [02:05]
asciilifeform macsyma? [02:05]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: the current distributive runs on standard common lisp. [02:05]

gabriel_laddel symbolics box... [02:05]
mircea_popescu i could have had a symbolics box ? [02:05]
mircea_popescu shit. [02:05]
asciilifeform in '93? 1) symbolics 2) sun 3) vax 4) a few others [02:06]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform why didnt you get a symbolics box yo! then you could have fondly remembered maxima instead of derive! [02:06]
mircea_popescu my copy came on disk 2 of "crime wave" [02:06]

mircea_popescu the idea was you had to fill all disks. [02:08]
asciilifeform ah, human warez [02:09]
mircea_popescu aha [02:09]
asciilifeform then makes total sense! [02:09]
mircea_popescu check it out btw, almost like topless daughter of president [02:09]
asciilifeform gabriel_laddel: coming back to the earlier point, it is ~unfathomably valuable~ to ~know that you know all the knobs and what they do~ [02:11]
asciilifeform this means fits-in-head. [02:11]
asciilifeform it is even conceivable that the guts would have fit in your head, had they been exposed [02:12]
asciilifeform but the interface of 'derive' certainly did. [02:12]
asciilifeform try that with a modern symbolic maths package. [02:12]
gabriel_laddel Yeah, I failed at that a while back. [02:13]
asciilifeform this totality - there is no substitute for it. [02:13]
gabriel_laddel Maxima is neato, but the ALGOL interface to all the goodies sucks. [02:13]
mircea_popescu gabriel_laddel come to think about it, you probably want derive source for your masamune thing [02:13]
asciilifeform it means that when something does not work as expected, you can immediately rule out 'unknown knob' [02:13]
gabriel_laddel mircea_popescu: already downloaded it ;-) but will probably stick with Macsyma. [02:14]
asciilifeform no sourceball for 'derive' was ever publicly discovered. [02:14]

mircea_popescu for the following reason : existentialism is the first (and the most logically successful) of the "postmodernisms", taken eventually to their extreme lolzitude by lacan and his unselfaware progeny in the us ("radical feminists" and whatnot). [17:13]
mircea_popescu what this means in easily digestible terms among software people is that existentialism is a class. [17:13]
mircea_popescu this means you can not use symbols such as "contradiction" without havind properly defined an existentialism.contradiction constructor in the very group. [17:14]
mircea_popescu lest you come out with garbage. [17:14]
mircea_popescu he doesn't seem aware of this. [17:14]
ag3nt_zer0 hmmm maybe I would do better to not post a quote out of context [17:15]

mircea_popescu but the behaviour would seem to indicate ~you~ think he's easily dismissed. [17:15]
ag3nt_zer0 not at all [17:15]
mircea_popescu quoting properly is more complicated than it seems. [17:15]
ag3nt_zer0 my entire reason for posting links to this material is that I find it hard to dismiss - hoping that some of the minds in here might check out the longforms and tell me what they think... [17:16]

pete_dushenski though here, 'tip splitting' is the de facto food insdustry standard [20:30]
pete_dushenski the kitchen always gets a cut, so a server might only see 3-4% of a 10% tip, so she won't be too pleased [20:30]
pete_dushenski so 15-20% becomes 'acceptable' in their dumb heads [20:31]
punkman you do a good job, or maybe your ass looked good, or I just felt like it, you get a tip [20:31]
