It also appears the team tried to bolster and perhaps even justify their reporting of this highly questionable second event by including a third one they had previously dismissed.'
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, if i were allocating fundamental research funds, i'd spend most of it on high energy particle research.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'particle zoo' curation is what the post-war twits with 0 imagination have busied themselves with.
asciilifeform: there's research, and there's stamp collecting.
mircea_popescu: high energy is definitionally research.
asciilifeform: the sad thing is that money pretty much begs itself to be spent on fancy machines. because neither mircea_popescu nor i nor anybody else could transform arbitrarily large bag of money, into another schrodinger.
mircea_popescu: understand something : the criterion for FUNDAMENTAL research is not "whether it's promising", in any sense or packaging. that is the criterion for INDUSTRIAL research, and let industry fucking do it.
mircea_popescu: the criterion for fundamental research is "was it ever done before", and high energy particles meet it out of the gate. ~nothing else does.
asciilifeform: and fwiw the 1 serious open question i know of , that could be answered with costly machine -- is the al schwartz eotvos test. pretty low energy, at that.

asciilifeform: i find it strange that mircea_popescu forgives the pseudophysicists the same sins that he correctly unforgives the pseudocryptographers
mircea_popescu: the former is physics, the latter is math. the building of items THAT NEVER BEFORE EXISTED is a defensible activity to a degree most others (spawning, doing art, including shakespeare, etcetera) are not.
asciilifeform: namely, 1) their artfully dodging the front lines , of the actually relevant problems known in their time 2) piling up megatonne upon megatonne of mathemasturbatory jizzrag , instead of doing their duty in going for maxwellian parsimony until last drop of blood
mircea_popescu: you understand, it's not that "this is a new model of spoon, we had spoons before but this is just a different take".
mircea_popescu: these are, literally, items that never before existed in the strictest categorical sense.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's, again, no obligation to meaning for fundamental research. that is still industrial research you're thinking of.
asciilifeform: theoretically every turd that comes out of a pig is also 'new object, never before existed'
mircea_popescu: not at all.
mircea_popescu: turd, like all others. whereas the first petawatt laser IS, as a factual matter, the first such laser ever built. for all we know -- every built anywhere in the universe.
mircea_popescu: it increases by one the length of the list of items god must maintain.
mircea_popescu: there can be no further accomplishment than this, in the sense of fundamental research.
asciilifeform: megalaser, without the parsimonizing of the output into physical law, is a pyramid.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: tense -> terse ??
mircea_popescu: no, tense.
mircea_popescu: textual tension is a measure of relation complexity per unit space.
asciilifeform: lolbondstrain
mircea_popescu: right
mircea_popescu: very direct measure of the power of a language -- weak languages only have van der waals links and thereby can't support complexity such as life
mircea_popescu: you need stronger interactions for that.
mircea_popescu: which is why english is ~soup. unless fortified with a lot of latin / middle french, shakespeare style.
asciilifeform pictures a future tmsr switch to something resembling medieval latin
asciilifeform: commercial pidgins based on language of long-forgotten island only goes so far...
mircea_popescu: a fine example in that very same paragraph : "I don't expect I've done" is very much different from the "plain english" "equivalent" "I don't think I've done" : as there is no relation between expectation and reality, saying "i don't expect i've done" is a perfectly fine sendoff on a masterpiece. not same in the case of the latter
mircea_popescu: which brings back the sad fact of the matter : there's no such thing as a weak language ; only imbecile speakers
mircea_popescu: (who are borne out of the interaction between their stupid mothers and a weak language)
asciilifeform: who then proceed to make yet-weaker lang etc
mircea_popescu: meanwhile textual tension is very much related to anti-synonymy (via http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-21#1587276 ) and to translation-difficulty as a scalar, via the mediation of something akin to http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-11#1697164 : "the cardinality of the set of objects that fit the bill divided by the cardinality of the set of objects summoned".
a111: Logged on 2016-12-21 18:32 mircea_popescu: because no, words don't "have meanings". your meanings for ANY WORD are a function of ALL THE OTHER WORDS YOU KNOW. which is why my definitions regularily blow out english dictionaries, wikipedia and other sources of "wisdom" out of the water - i know more words, and in this knowledge i know all the words i know ~better~. infinitely and irreproducibly so.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-11 18:37 mircea_popescu: this is how it manages the inapproximable "whisks" of meaning that latin-style then has so much trouble noting down.
asciilifeform: orthogonality
mircea_popescu: very much throwback to the problem of "man is that animal with flat nails" / "here's a chicken" issue
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not really, because there's no such thing as orthogonality in natural language. that's a property of a correctly constructed theorem ("let it have no overlapping lemmas") and therefore relevant in computing.
asciilifeform: just because not constructed intentionally, dun mean it aint there

mircea_popescu: language as used by humans is actually predicated on the impossibility of orthogonality.
asciilifeform: expand?
mircea_popescu: eh wtf, we don't have the koans in the logs now ?!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform give me an example of two items of language that are orthogonal.
asciilifeform: 'up' 'down' 'left' 'right' 'yes' 'no' ??
mircea_popescu: absolutely not. they're eminently codependent.
asciilifeform: well up is orthogonal to left!11!
mircea_popescu: it is not.
mircea_popescu: !#s progress
a111: 685 results for "progress", http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=progress
asciilifeform: if that ain't orthogonal i have nfi what and where is
mircea_popescu: ^ up-and-left = progress.
asciilifeform: is bottom-and-right = purple ?
mircea_popescu: this is unclear.
mircea_popescu: but i think the point transpires, if metaphorically : the fundamental reason language even exists in any usable, useful form is the rejection of orthogonality as a possibility.
asciilifeform: i dun get at all how. but possibly requires moar lsd.
mircea_popescu: how what you mean ?
asciilifeform: where does 'rejection of orthogonality as a possibility' come out of
asciilifeform: why needed for 'language in any usable form'
mircea_popescu: note that i'm not saying ~your notion~ of up and left can't be orthogonal. of course they can be, in fact they'd better be. but the WORDS thatr denote them, can't be, at least not while staying words.
asciilifeform: let's suppose the contrary. then wat.
mircea_popescu: then we find it impossible to talk to strangers as the first symptom.
mircea_popescu: also, we're stuck getting lucky with women, because we can't meaningfully talk to them BEFORE we actually can talk to them.
mircea_popescu: and in short -- fucking up this fundament of language convicts one to solipsistic solitude.
asciilifeform: supposition was re language where all of the parts are orthogonal; rather than 'every man in own solipsist hell'
mircea_popescu: a language where ALL parts are orthogonal is entirely the phone book, unable to mean anything. i thought the contention was language where SOME parts are orthogonal.
mircea_popescu: the only case where this happens is when there's in fact two language. such as in polygotism, or else argot-mainstream disjunctions. THERE you can have orthogonality in language.
asciilifeform: where maximum practical parts orthogonal.
mircea_popescu: ie, the gifter's grift is != the da's grift.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ah, that is always the case, with that max = 0.
mircea_popescu: but yes, this provides on the side an excellent explanation in this context's terminology of why man must learn languages : it is the ONLY way to have orthogonality in natural speech.
mircea_popescu: and romanian has ESPECIALLY a problem with orthogonality (as a necessary drawback of its insane bond power), which is why and wherefore it ends up thinking all languages are just badly spelled romanian.
asciilifeform: i thought they were mutilated latin lol
trinque: tangentially, but I was taken aback by the beauty the moment I realized that the consonant sound in "ad" was closer to me than the one in "ab".
mircea_popescu: i think latin-gone-wild may be more on the point. sort-of like that good jewess / future balabusta of http://trilema.com/2016/black-book/ trying to get as much nazi/anything cock as possible.

trinque: slowly, keeping at it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform oya. really, vulgar latin on a "butter me up and roll me in dicks like they're nonpareils" kick.
mircea_popescu: come to think of it, a fine answer to "what the fuck was elliot's problem" could correctly be "he used orthogonal language".
mircea_popescu: it wouldn't mean anything to elliot himself, or to the blonde girls that "didn't give him a chance", but it'd nevertheless be a perfectly correct description of the situation they found themselves in, unwillingly the lot.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i suspect that we dun have same def of the word
mircea_popescu: let's have it ?
asciilifeform: what asciilifeform refers to as 'nonorthogonal', is seen in e.g. http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-22#1588406 thread
a111: Logged on 2016-12-22 17:45 asciilifeform: phf: pray tell : what does having 'elt' AND 'nth' around, facilitate ?
mircea_popescu: "two items are orthogonal if either can stand without the other".
asciilifeform: ( re mechanical langs, but same concept there )
mircea_popescu: i much prefer this categorical expression of the notion to the copacetic "statistically independent variates" approach.
mircea_popescu: now, forcing a point : if complex numbers are notated as a + bi, then it is a correct approach to describe a sum as x (= a + a') + y (=b + b') i rather than x' (= q + p i + r + t i) + y' (=q' + p' i + r' + t' i). the former notation would be a normatively correctly stated theorem (elements are orthogonal) whereas the latter would, while still equivalent, nevertheless be normatively incorrect (it mixes up the lemmas!).
mircea_popescu: and same throughout all math : everything must be orthogonal, at all times, all the time.
mircea_popescu: you could make soup out of a bag in which there's peas mixed with carrots in some proportion, and another bag in which there's pasta and some chicken, and a third bag where there's more chicken and some celery. it'd still come out soup. nevertheless, the CORRECT way to make soup, arbitrarily, is by using a bag in which there's peas and nothing else ; and a different bag in which there's chicken and nothing else, and so follow
mircea_popescu: ing.
mircea_popescu: there's no good reason for this, other than our being white men, which is to say the source of intellectual anyhing in this world.
asciilifeform: 'at all times' never happens in practice ( consider how maxwell's equations went from 20+ to 4 )
mircea_popescu: but -- language doesn't work this way. the reason the bags aka words are useful AT ALL is that there's a little of each and every other bag in each and every single bag.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but the ideal stays the ideal.
asciilifeform: sure does
mircea_popescu: the important point being -- that it's an ideal for math, and therefore programming, which includes cooking. NOT of language.

mircea_popescu: onveniently-abstract items to be represented in more intuitively approachable forms, the principal point of modern galois theory is to prove that certain fields admit no closed-form solution, and in a very narrow sense are not properly speaking math. or rather -- that our current notations share aspects of roman numerals most visible in those particular points.)

BingoBoingo: Here's a rather big lol from the wikipedos, on their page for Al Sharpton's social engineering firm: "In 2011, Walgreens announced they would be ending their relationship with Express Scripts, a prescription drug program serving mostly poor individuals that gave them discounted prescriptions.[9] This would have resulted in low-income individuals paying up to 30 percent more for their prescriptions. A coalition of minority groups, led by
BingoBoingo: Reverend Al Sharptons National Action Network, sent letters urging Gregory Wasson, CEO of Walgreens, to reconsider. Groups sending letters were National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, the Congress of Racial Equality, Hispanic Leadership Fund, and others." https://archive.is/MrxS1
BingoBoingo: Meanwhile from the wikipedos on what Express Scripts is: "Express Scripts Holding Company is an American Fortune 100 company. As of 2017, the company is the 22nd-largest in the United States as well as the largest pharmacy benefit management (PBM) organization in the United States.[1] Express Scripts had 2016 revenues of $100.752 billion.[1]" https://archive.is/LoSSk#selection-363.0-383.3

mircea_popescu: whether she conceptualizes this sexual mutilation as "i hate the man and so i bit off his penis" or "i rly LUV!!1 the man so much i... cut off his penis" is irrelevant. yes the latter is the sort of perversion (in proper terms, cognitive dissonance) "civilised" individuals tend to come up with to explain their own choices to themselves. nevertheless, a cut is a cut, it has no philic component.,
