BingoBoingo which is to say !s anything made for $20k or so << I dare you to deliver to me a Compact pickup truck in the United States less than 3 years old. The problems are known. [00:03]
gabriel_laddel Pardon? [00:03]
asciilifeform BingoBoingo: context was a thread re: organic chem [00:03]
asciilifeform and the price of pharma [00:04]
BingoBoingo Ah, THought a more general price of anything. [00:04]
BingoBoingo I reverted to considering the "chicken tax" where a foreign made Ford Ranger of year old vintage would cost more to sell in USIA than an F-250 Super Duty with the OMGWTFBBQKINGRANCHDRESSING package, because arbitrarity. [00:06]
gabriel_laddel I wish the black market folk would get their shit together, start buying spectroscopy equipment and setup "trap houses" where you can go verify the pharma you buy is what you think you're buying. [00:08]
gabriel_laddel and by pharma, I don't mean dope [00:08]
asciilifeform gabriel_laddel: and when you get sc4mz0r3d, take wrong pill, croak, does your ghost negrate the test house ? [00:09]
mircea_popescu so can i have polymerizable water ? or is this "anything" limited by other criteria than "what you can describe" ? [00:09]
asciilifeform or how does it work [00:09]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: thread was about commercial organic chem [00:09]
BingoBoingo so can i have polymerizable water ? or is this "anything" limited by other criteria than "what you can describe" ? << Violently [00:09]

BingoBoingo !up bitcoinbrains_ [00:09]
* assbot gives voice to bitcoinbrains_ [00:09]
mircea_popescu organic chemistry, unlike $20k, is not finite. [00:10]
BingoBoingo you realise i can declare a compound of arbitrary complexity right ? << Declare, yes. Not blow yourself up with, no. [00:10]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: i suppose i ought to clarify where i learned the figure and how. [00:10]
mircea_popescu so what sort of alf's Hilbert Hotel is this. [00:10]
gabriel_laddel asciilifeform: that problem reduces to "why doesn't MP run of with MPEX funds" [00:10]
gabriel_laddel the current issue is the people involved with the black market [00:10]
gabriel_laddel they suck [00:10]
BingoBoingo asciilifeform: that problem reduces to "why doesn't MP run of with MPEX funds" << Not at all [00:10]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: we had a db from u.s. national cancer institute of a few million plausibly-synthesizable compounds, largely of unknown effect (never organizedly fed to any living thing) [00:11]
mircea_popescu aha. [00:11]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: ran models, churning through astonishing qty of cpu cycle, and sent off db entries to orc lands for synthesis [00:11]
mircea_popescu no, i know the thing, and ftr a number like that has been thrown around pretty much ever since the major synth advances of the 80s [00:11]
asciilifeform they would come back in crated vials. [00:11]
asciilifeform which would then be tested on cell culture; followed by rodents [00:12]

asciilifeform mircea_popescu: at any rate, 'plausible synthesis' has a rough meaning. ask PeterL perhaps to explain in detail. but yes, synthetic vitamin B was a nobel. beyond a certain point of complexity, one tries to harness living things to crap out the goods [00:15]
asciilifeform rather than ab initio [00:15]

asciilifeform BingoBoingo: and this is something like the size & shape of avg. american folk from twain's time, even. [00:23]
BingoBoingo And far southern Illinois is more Ozark than Missouri [00:23]

trinque http://www.onelakesedge.com/ [00:26]
assbot One Lakes Edge | The Woodlands, TX Apartments ... ( http://bit.ly/1MdEuN5 ) [00:26]
trinque about 1550-1800 for a really nice place for a single guy [00:26]
asciilifeform but it's a flat [00:27]
asciilifeform where you gonna put the lathe [00:27]

trinque or wherever, haven't decided yet [00:27]
asciilifeform imho 'posh flat' is really 'worst of both worlds' - but that's just me. [00:28]
trinque most of my work involves the device in my lap currently, don't need tons of space [00:29]
asciilifeform then anything bigger than a lift cabin is burned $ [00:29]
trinque might as well eat solely based on caloric needs too eh? [00:31]
BingoBoingo BingoBoingo: wouldn't that be a collectible and costly rarity ? << They are. But also fuel efficent. [00:31]
gabriel_laddel BingoBoingo: have you ever thought about taking a cruise down to SA? [00:32]

phf apartment living goes well with other outsourced infrastructure, i.e. ghetto warehouse for your lathe-placement-needs. you can do it on the cheap by pulling resources at a hackerspace [00:34]
gabriel_laddel BingoBoingo: yea, but I thought you were scared of the gangs? [00:35]
BingoBoingo might as well eat solely based on caloric needs too eh? << In Murica dangerous not to [00:35]
asciilifeform phf: i tried the 'hackerspace' thing, at its best it was an ick [00:35]

gabriel_laddel BingoBoingo: take pics of that? [00:42]
BingoBoingo gabriel_laddel: No, just scowled. [00:42]
gabriel_laddel aww [00:42]
BingoBoingo Derping to take a picture doesn't look tough. [00:42]
gabriel_laddel Facial recognition goes both ways. I could use pics. [00:42]
gabriel_laddel BingoBoingo: anyways, let me spell this out for you - it'd be really cool to take a cuise down to BA, get coffee with MP and cruise back right? [00:43]
gabriel_laddel it would also be cool to fly in and do the same, but you can't b/c the court [00:43]
BingoBoingo Facial recognition goes both ways. I could use pics. << Doesn't need to go far. My street has no black residents. My street is a blind loop. One pass could be a common criminal. Multiple people is Law Enforcement. [00:43]
gabriel_laddel BingoBoingo: The pics would be for our intel systems dude [00:44]
BingoBoingo Cruise is expensive, you pay transit + living expenses for duration. BTC is too underpriced for that [00:44]
asciilifeform BingoBoingo: what'd be the point? [00:44]
asciilifeform i mean, say 241st tank regiment rolls down your street every morning [00:44]
asciilifeform what's it to you. [00:44]
BingoBoingo BingoBoingo: The pics would be for our intel systems dude << You don't need an image to recognize broke ass USG Denzel Washington wannabe [00:45]

asciilifeform but driving menacingly past your house ? [00:46]
asciilifeform why bother ? [00:46]
BingoBoingo what's it to you. << My street is tar and macadam, that would tear it up. Literally one input goes to the county fairgrounds racetrack pit and my street. The other goes to my street. [00:46]
trinque this is where gossipd deniable statement mode would be great [00:47]
BingoBoingo why bother ? << Because they know black people don't live hear, and they want me to call local PD because they anticipate racism. [00:47]

phf asciilifeform: i think main use case for a hackerspace is place to deploy own oversized equipment, but have the location subsidized by "makers". most i've been to would go through the typical list of "3d printers", eventually followed by "and here's a cnc laser cutter etc. that you can only use if you ask such and such nicely and make he'll let you under his supervision" [00:49]
gabriel_laddel trinque: unless I'm greatly mistaken, he has a court case for something or other physical and US dept of treasury agents have dropped by his house b/c btc. [00:49]

BingoBoingo But seriously, the point of all of my drunk ramblings tonight ought to be learned early on the playground well before adulthood. If you know you are being harassed, keep evidence. Make the harasser's friends look like idiots by pretending to be their friend, and keep multiple copies of the evidence spread around in both probable and improbable places. Skipping some more probably places. [01:18]
phf in su we were taught a different strategy, since "having evidence" is top kek, know who to call if things go bad. if you had no one to call, you were shit out of luck [01:24]

mircea_popescu currently it could be fair to say we have a large lump of peat bog math. [10:45]
mircea_popescu it's not even anthracite [10:45]
mircea_popescu it needs to be A LOT more crystalline before it does any serious damage to the walls of the world. [10:45]
mircea_popescu so, yes, it's math (ie, proven, correct, what have you), in which sense it physically exists, with so and so properties. just like the petrified shit in the peat. [10:46]
mircea_popescu it is not terribly useful, in that nobody has a fucking clue how to approach the serious problems. [10:46]
mircea_popescu once newton/leibniz fixed notation, for instance, to take a very easy historical example, [10:47]
asciilifeform the subset of maths that is actually ~understood~ in the proper sense is equal to the subset that has been mechanized. [10:47]
mircea_popescu ALL SORTS of previously inapproachable problems became mechanically solvable. [10:47]
mircea_popescu exactly asciilifeform [10:47]
gabriel_laddel asciilifeform: hence derive. [10:47]
gabriel_laddel gotcha [10:47]
mircea_popescu the reason "notation is worth 30 iq points" is specifically that good notations = properly crystallized topic. [10:47]
asciilifeform even a charlatan like herr wolfram understood this [10:47]
asciilifeform and had the business sense / lack of scruples / strategic usg buttbuddies - to turn it into $millions [10:48]
asciilifeform (he ran off with 'macsyma' and... well, the rest is well-known) [10:48]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform this incredible drive of the hobo to file off some gold from el dorado and run off with it back into the gutter. [10:48]
mircea_popescu what the fuck is wrong with moving there! [10:48]
asciilifeform they make ya work a full shift in el dorado [10:49]
asciilifeform apparently. [10:49]
mircea_popescu yaimsurethey do. [10:49]
mircea_popescu "make" and "work". [10:49]
asciilifeform aha. [10:49]
asciilifeform macsymas happen, yes. but not because brezhnevamaba willed them to exist, no. [10:50]
asciilifeform *brezhnevabama [10:50]
mircea_popescu myeah. [10:50]
asciilifeform but they happen. and not in private industry, either, except on embezzled time [10:50]
asciilifeform not in places where folks are accountable in the quarterly sense. [10:50]
mircea_popescu i'd say the jury's still out on this one., [10:51]
mircea_popescu let's move it to literature. [10:51]
mircea_popescu some writers write poorly under stress (orwell) ; somee other writers only wrote because hungry and hounded (balzac) [10:52]
mircea_popescu to me this is a good indicator of the subiacent truth : orwell was not really a writer, just masquerading as one. [10:52]
mircea_popescu taking advantage of sociocultural shifts that made such masquerade feasible. [10:52]
asciilifeform this is an old thing. goal-directed work - e.g., 'make atomic bomb for the motherland' - works with a beria holding broomstick up the collective arses of the institute staff. [10:52]
asciilifeform exploratory - does not. [10:53]
asciilifeform exploratory research (e.g., unix at bell) is predicated on, fundamentally, the freedom to waste time. [10:53]
mircea_popescu exploratory does too. /me has run scouts in the field, knows. [10:53]
asciilifeform (because you do not know in advance what is a waste) [10:53]
mircea_popescu the freedom to waste time is not equivalent to lack of accountability. [10:53]
mircea_popescu also, three ring binder management is not a good representative of management. [10:54]
asciilifeform granted, on some planet these are separable. [10:54]
asciilifeform i'd like to go there one day. [10:54]
mircea_popescu also, drunkenly beating your wife because the food was burned does not represent domestic discipline. scl. [10:54]
asciilifeform which is where we get back to 'freedom to waste time.' ~constructively~ wasting time requires discipline. of the internal kind. [10:55]
mircea_popescu internal discipline never exists in a void. either you are a discipline factor, in which case you will, willy nilly, attract slaves and construct an ordered space, by the act of mere existence, or you are a discipline beneficiary, in which case you will slowly gravitate, also willy nilly, towards a structured space. [10:56]
asciilifeform it is a talent, not really entirely unlike, say, the ability to do maths [10:56]
mircea_popescu nothing wrong with either, but large groups have come to significant grief trying to deny the wall / piss uphill. [10:56]
mircea_popescu it is a curse, not entirely unlike, say, being born intolerant of the smell of farts. [10:57]
asciilifeform is everyone 'either a mathematicizer or a beneficiary of mathematics who must gravitate towards the mathy' ? [10:57]
asciilifeform in a way - yes! [10:57]
mircea_popescu (from the "if money's a curse, may god strike me down with it! and may i never recover!" series) [10:57]
