mircea_popescu: and i suppose the evident similarity between dirac delta and "whichever unnamed abstractions you support your estimation of string theory" is also striking to you ?
mircea_popescu: (schwartz above is laurent schwartz, provided an elegant translation of the non-functional nature of dirac's delta by using distribution limits to model it)
asciilifeform: the difference is also imho obvious
mircea_popescu: what's it ?
asciilifeform: ( the string orchestra not only dun give a flying fuck re parsimony, but quite the opposite , complexity cancer deliberately cultured, breeds grantolade for mediocrities )
mircea_popescu: but this is a political consideration.
mircea_popescu: should be applied against people not against things.
asciilifeform: there is no separability of the political.
mircea_popescu: there is in this sense. if "alcohol" "leads people into sin", then those led into sin are to be hanged ; but alcohol not condemned.
asciilifeform: i am not convinced of there being involvement of 'things' : strings have not even the reality anchor of phlogiston.
asciilifeform: are ~= 'privilegism'
mircea_popescu: they're abstract things
asciilifeform: unanchored abstractions, like in schizo patient.
mircea_popescu: but those are also still things.
mircea_popescu: not concrete in any sense ; and not meaningful either, but still.
asciilifeform: and unlike in schizo patient, crafted with clear political angle.
mircea_popescu: "things that i can fuck", "things that i can understand", "things i can talk about". many kinds of things.
asciilifeform: there is also 'things that, if loaded into a head, make it stupider'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform dirac's delta, aslo crafted with clear political angle : to exclude non-diracians from so-and-so set of benches.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i put it to you, that if such a thing should exist, the head is at fault not the thing.
mircea_popescu: do also there exist "bad data" known by that fact that "if put into computer, break it" ? fix the fucking code.
mircea_popescu: obscenity laws, banned books, political correctness, antivirus corps etc are all the sorry product of the contrary view.
asciilifeform: the basic sin in strings is same as in microshit and elsewhere: rejection of parsimony
asciilifeform: that way lies daemonology and nothing else.
mircea_popescu: so you'll settle on "dirac's delta visibly parsimonious ; string theory not so visibly if at all" ?
mircea_popescu: makes sense.
asciilifeform: at least was obvious attempt. at parsimony.
mircea_popescu: i suppose this actually enacts a fundamental of "parsimony" in estimation of all ideal objects.
mircea_popescu: "do it or else alf won't like it and mp won't defend you and what else is there for you."
asciilifeform: 'do it or you ain't even thinking, but fermenting'
mircea_popescu: that also.
mircea_popescu: very literally true, too. the act of fermentation as a thermodynamic process is correctly modelled as an increase in entropy ie exactly "that way lies demonology"
mircea_popescu: system becomes more complex over time at a steady rate based on temperature / gates' worthless money input.
mircea_popescu: exaclty as per the above "ants doing mango pulp powered research"
asciilifeform: they're crankin' out LPUs, wat
asciilifeform: troo hardworkers, candidates for tenure.
mircea_popescu: indisputably.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz : each and everyone politician abscam put in jail (bout 30 or so) were... democrats. the party of corruption survived!

mircea_popescu: aand in yet more lulz : cancer incidence increased in us adolescents by a steady 0.5 - 0.6% per year, each year, since 1975.

mircea_popescu: and in other lulz : google spent a quarter billion dollars worth of its govt's printouts on "corporate diversity". the results are not exactly zero
mircea_popescu: in the sense that apparently there's less black chix coding at google now than before.
mircea_popescu: (tl;dr : nigger jew faggots at google conspired to hinder anyone not of nigger jew faggot political persuasions.)
mircea_popescu: and in other lulz from elaine ou : "ripple", which apparently is an entity that scammed wall street "investors" out of 55mn "investment" managed to write "R3" which is a sort of nothing in particular an XRP option worth supposedly a billion (admitting ripple the fake coin is worth anything) and while they can't back out of it, there's legal wrangling lulz : https://elaineou.com/2017/09/20/r3-should-just-buy-ripple/

asciilifeform: btw did i ever print the rated power consumption of a FUCKGOATS ?
asciilifeform: it's 80mA @ 5v .
asciilifeform: ( average, naturally )
asciilifeform: in practice, this means that an unpowered usb hub should be able to support 6 of'em without problems.
mod6: that's what you use to test in parallel right?
asciilifeform: mod6: i typically use powered hubs
asciilifeform: one of the items i am currently working on is a fully-automatic FG tester
asciilifeform: at the moment, the process is only semi-automatic.
asciilifeform: linux kernel ( all the varieties i've tried ) seems to have a serious ( and wholly undocumented ) problem with > 7 serial devices .
asciilifeform: transfer rate on 8th and above, slows to a kB/s or so
asciilifeform: ( where the buffered bits go -- devil only knows )
mod6: <+asciilifeform> one of the items i am currently working on is a fully-automatic FG tester << ahh cool.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> transfer rate on 8th and above, slows to a kB/s or so << ugh.
asciilifeform: mod6: the interesting bit is the -- afaik -- total absence of public discussion. because -- evidently -- Only A Terrorist (tm)(r) would use 8+ serial devices on pc.
mircea_popescu: who would you expect to use 8+, the usual appletard/tablethead/who exactly ?
mircea_popescu: i expect more people complain of the chip color than of this.
asciilifeform: appletard has problem even with 1 serialport
mircea_popescu: so to him this seems heaven
asciilifeform: ( iirc somebody here tried )
mircea_popescu now trying guatemala's ron (colonial).
mircea_popescu: tis exactly as i recall it from the mid 2000s.
asciilifeform: the part i find interesting is that it is -- apparently -- impossible to use a current pc in the way, e.g., pdp11 was used - as box with two dozen + serial ttys hanging off
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform pretty sure you could sit down a multi-usb hub unit in the card slot

mircea_popescu: why would anyone stick around after that is incomprehensible.
danielpbarron: !!key cruciform
jhvh1: danielpbarron: The operation succeeded.
jhvh1: BingoBoingo: The operation succeeded.
BingoBoingo: https://gensteel.com/steel-building-kits/strip-malls << Anyone know a place to plop one of these outside NATO near transit cable to make datacenter?
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: Prefab strip mall has shorter walk to coffee shop, provided a coffee data tenant rents space
ben_vulpes: it is a sad truth that all data centers i have been in have sadder coffee production facilities than even starbucks.
ben_vulpes: also use windows. also in usshitistan.
BingoBoingo: Really [coffee shop][datacenter (studio apartment carveout)][scooter dealer] is imagined layout
BingoBoingo: for the moment
BingoBoingo: If locale has enough people who feel entitled to protective road cage to justify 4-wheel dealership, locale prolly sucks for building building
ben_vulpes: under that analysis, should probably do fork/heavy equipment/rental+dealership instead of scooter dealership
BingoBoingo: Nah, the customers there are demanding and suspicious. Not to mention keeps existential threats to datacenter too close.
ben_vulpes: existential threats, yes, but in their docile state!
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: Few have meaningful locks on them. Only docile because passerby have anxiety about starting up unattented equipment.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, it's hard to meaningfully lock a door when excavator sleeps within 100 yards of door. Doesn't leave much time to take position with anti-materiel rifle before it closes range
ben_vulpes: lol ok ok
BingoBoingo: While scooters produce delicious 2-stroke exhaust and help the pobre commute within their substantial means
ben_vulpes: not like it would be hard to wire keypads into them if they still don't have meaningful locks.
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: Most heavy equipment starts by holding hidden button while pressing "start button", Or turning key shapped ignition switch while holding hidden button
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: asciilifeform's father's auto in ye olde su, had one of these
asciilifeform: 'seekrit' starter-enbl button
asciilifeform: to this day i have nfi wtf was the point
asciilifeform: iirc it had to be clicked a magic # of times, or rhythm, or somesuch
mod6: lot of the bobcats i've seen recently have a 10-key pad to enter a code before it can be started.
asciilifeform: ritualistic voodoo-hoodoo-hex against thieves
mod6: older ones though...
mod6: lol
