mircea_popescu note however the incidence of decent boobs in the population. out of 8 visible, 3 or 4 are miserable, 3 or 4 are acceptable, 2 or 3 pretty good actually. [09:45]
mircea_popescu i call this the mp rule of tit thirds. [09:45]
mircea_popescu and we know for a fact that the tits ~were~ a major factor in the academic performance of these girls, because the better boobs (with maybe one exception) agglomerate at the front and between the teachers. [09:47]
mircea_popescu the temptation to presume this somehow invalidates the curriculum and teachers' approach however is not necessarily warranted. it may be that women with better tits are simply better women overall, which includes both an ability and an interest in learning. [09:48]

asciilifeform pretty sure we had the thread [10:00]
asciilifeform with, e.g., myelin. [10:00]
mircea_popescu aha [10:00]
asciilifeform 'how ~little~ sand in the developmental gears' [10:01]
mircea_popescu it's not too hard to discover that small tits and annoying, nagging, deeply insecure personality correlate quite well in practice, and so the historical male preference for big tits that actually drove the monstrous mamomegalia that principally distinguishes us from monkeys could well be rather explainable. [10:02]
mircea_popescu (and yes - it's not "the ability to communicate", as early darwinists thought, out of their inclination towards pious frauds to favour socialism, that distinguishes us from animals. nor is it "an ability to make and use tools", as the 50s folk retreated to in desperation. no, none of that - just this, that our females have tits so deeply disproportionate to their bodies it is unseen in nature. CIVILISATION!) [10:03]
asciilifeform possibly reversed causation here [10:03]
mircea_popescu obviously. [10:03]
mircea_popescu but the fact remains that if i am examining the photo data from foreign planet with life on it, [10:03]
mircea_popescu ima try to identify the mammaries and pick the species with the largest ones as a candidate for intelligence. [10:04]

mircea_popescu (this, for any deeply insecure personalities that may be reading the logs, does neither say that big is good thus therefore bigger is necessarily better, nor does it propose that there can't be a "big enough". so simmer down.) [10:07]
asciilifeform l0l [10:09]
mircea_popescu with great power&fame comes great responsibility, eh. [10:11]
punkman http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-02-2016#1415217 this is a poor approximation of decrypting the disk. doesn't it mean capture time equals video length? what about alt audio tracks, subtitles, etc?

mircea_popescu even better : don't use any electronics with closed bullshit. what, can't play on computor ? [10:19]
asciilifeform aha! [10:19]
asciilifeform and, as i said, capture the frames. [10:20]
mircea_popescu i've never bought any of the non-computing computer crap since the fucking 90s. which includes no fucking playstation, no "analog video camera" no bs. [10:20]
punkman sure, I don't watch dvds or blu-rays. but you were asking who would buy these things [10:20]
mircea_popescu (and yes, my despise of laptops and crapple-ade is well grounded in this strategic choice made 25 years ago. if it is not programmable i am not buying it!) [10:20]

mircea_popescu seriously, if you can't paint a canvas within 10x10, or if you can't tell your story in 700mb, you've got other problems than painting or making movies. [10:24]
asciilifeform idk, 17 moments of spring [10:24]

asciilifeform 1 per episode [10:25]
mircea_popescu also seinfeld is like 300 hours or some shit. [10:25]
mircea_popescu but, tv format, who cares, you can push it into one cd per season. [10:25]

phf i kind of look at it like version 0.5.3. there's barely any development on it, very little actively harmful code, if you don't count asdf 3.* in contribs. it works, it can be studied and improved upon, as it stands it's utterly ignored by the cool kids. there are also of course technical merits, the compiler is conceptually identical and on average almost as good (there were many micro optimizations done by sbcl team, but even they are [14:04]
phf tradeoffs) and much better for floating. there's still a tightly integrated interpreter (i heard sbcl brought that back in recent releases), so doing eval even on early 2000s machines is almost instantaneous for repl work. memory usage is much much better (pretty sure sbcl core policy is "memory is cheap") [14:04]

phf i've been mulling over that question with logs. fwiw, entire log can be kept in memory for analysis, annotation, whatever, 180mb as utf-8 byte arrays. with unicode strings takes up twice the memory on 16-bit cmucl, and ~~4 times on 32-bit sbcl. i'm not yet convinced that transcoding everything you get into string and then transcoding it back to a bytearray onto the wire is the best strategy [14:15]

mircea_popescu but in general speaking, the point stands anyway [14:24]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform anyway, im not sure what the benefit from the old machines perspective is for the char to be 16 rather than 64. [14:24]
mircea_popescu you'll still going to have to do some porting. just as long as it's not 52 or some other mit-esque idiocy, should really not be a big deal. [14:24]
mircea_popescu but the fucking concept of putting a turing complete machine in the bitstream/string mapping has got to fucking burn already. who the fuck even hatched this idiocy. [14:26]

phf american experience in su was highly mediated. i've had a chance to meet a handful of these "spent some time in su in the 80s" types, and at best their conclusion is "them russkies are no worse then us". not like they would be allowed to spend their leasure time in the company of my grandfather and his friends, etc. [15:41]
* raedah has quit (Ping timeout: 248 seconds) [15:43]
phf their whole experience of su is through intourist propotainment and politruk control. who's going to let an american nobody in a company of the valuable products of soviet system. it's a needless risk. at best you get invited to some aparatchik family dinner and get to playbelieve "i was even friends with a russian family!" [15:43]
pete_dushenski phf: that's very much why i specified '2nd-tier' ru city, though i suppose this was based on the presumption that most of the mediation was happening in larger urban centres, which i suppose statistically it must have been, but whether that made it easier or harder to break mediated mold in smaller centres isn't thereby granted as being in any way obvious, admittedly.

phf you don't seem to grok how "mediated" works in this case, you or your tour is assigned a dedicated kgb handler and a politruk. if you're not part of tour, then you are assigned those. personally. sop for any sort of interaction with outsiders. politruk is ~personally responsible~ for you not doing anything dodgy. your level of artificial integration depends on how important you are and how experienced your handlers are at running this [15:46]
phf particular show. [15:46]
asciilifeform and 'dodgy' can include things pete_dushenski wouldn't think of. [15:48]
