mircea_popescu: anyway, in this context galois theory is chiefly preoccupied with distinguishing math-language from math-proper.
mircea_popescu also appreciates the terseness as a stylistical choice. in english, it is at worst a forced mistake, by the medium, and in general a good idea.

mircea_popescu: the important point being -- that it's an ideal for math, and therefore programming, which includes cooking. NOT of language.
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: 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.
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: and same throughout all math : everything must be orthogonal, at all times, all the time.
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: i much prefer this categorical expression of the notion to the copacetic "statistically independent variates" approach.

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.
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: asciilifeform oya. really, vulgar latin on a "butter me up and roll me in dicks like they're nonpareils" kick.
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: 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".
asciilifeform: i thought they were mutilated latin lol
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: asciilifeform ah, that is always the case, with that max = 0.
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.
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.
asciilifeform: supposition was re language where all of the parts are orthogonal; rather than 'every man in own solipsist hell'
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: 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.
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.
mircea_popescu: absolutely not. they're eminently codependent.
mircea_popescu: language as used by humans is actually predicated on the impossibility of orthogonality.

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.
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".
asciilifeform: who then proceed to make yet-weaker lang etc
mircea_popescu: (who are borne out of the interaction between their stupid mothers and a weak language)
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: 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

asciilifeform: theoretically every turd that comes out of a pig is also 'new object, never before existed'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's, again, no obligation to meaning for fundamental research. that is still industrial research you're thinking of.
mircea_popescu: these are, literally, items that never before existed in the strictest categorical sense.
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

BingoBoingo: Who needs windows if this is the shit you blog
BingoBoingo: With the night already ruined, the pair went into the bathroom to try to solve the crappy problem. The windows open from the top, so Smyths date an amateur gymnast got a boost from Smyth, then went upside down into the gap from above, grasping for her turd."
BingoBoingo: Unfortunately, her poop didnt make it out the window at all. Due to a design quirk, the bundle instead fell inside the wide gap between the windows two panes.
BingoBoingo: OMG it's there: "“ ‘I went for a poo in your toilet,’ she told me,” Smyth wrote on his GoFundMe campaign site. But when the toilet wouldn’t flush, she lost her head a little: “I reached into the toilet bowl, wrapped it in tissue paper, and threw it out of the window.”
mircea_popescu: this is true. metaphorically true, but true nevertheless.
deedbot: http://trilema.com/2017/donald-trump-speaks-before-the-american-judges-association/ << Trilema - Donald Trump speaks before the American Judges Association
BingoBoingo: Well, Trilema has to get in on The Great Again lulz from time to time as well
mircea_popescu: i considered sending it as a qntra, but... in the end i judged trilema better positioned to absorb the fake newsness of it.

trinque: also any extra water the thing's pulling up would slow it. more mass, more friction. harvey slurped up a big drink before hitting us, and lost what, 120mph of wind in the process.

mircea_popescu: maybe they evacuate to buenos aires.

BingoBoingo: And for further posterior-titty https://www.reddit.com/r/The_Donald/comments/6ybv1o/virtue_signaling_fail/
BingoBoingo: Hence the gem'ness
BingoBoingo: Another gem found in the wild: "I literally had my high school sociology teacher argue that "if the illegals aren't here, who will pick our crops?" He was black, too. It baffles me that he, of all people, couldn't see the argument he made was literally the same argument the Democrats used to enslave his ancestors."
BingoBoingo had a pretty awesome dream last sleep period. Was chilling with the Trumpreich at the Trumpstag and saw unveiling of TrumpKorea response in the form of resuming US atmospheric nuclear tests, but in KKKalifornia this time.
BingoBoingo: Also the media noise today is full of "dreamers" as though that's what anchor bebes were always called.
mike_c: pretty good after a week at the beach
asciilifeform: can't get to the shell either. this is moar of a 'chineseness test' -- 'board is unusable unless you put jumper back on right-over-there'

ben_vulpes: oregon very definitely does not try to kill denizens on a regular basis; might explain the weenie factor in these parts
trinque: relatedly, it's been lulzy listening to all the new houstonians re: "holy shit global warming superhurricanes"
ben_vulpes: because race-to-the-bottom in highly regulated markets.
ben_vulpes: now if these remote outposts were made of stone perhaps this would be less of a concern, but they gotta be made cheaply, and out of the same vinyl as the rest of the shitboard housing stock
ben_vulpes: folks gotta have their cabins in the middleoffuckingnowhere and mother government gotta keep their 'investments' from burning down.
ben_vulpes: nevermind that if one just let the dead wood burn out every five years as god intended the beetles would be vastly less numerous and their impact negligible
ben_vulpes: "nono, it's the two degrees warmer winters that let the beetles chew through more forest than usual!"
asciilifeform: did we ever do the 'usg is directly responsible for every forest fire' thread, or is it immediately obvious how, and dun need thread..?
ben_vulpes considering buying a few air filters for the haus

shinohai: BingoBoingo: I'm not interested if it doesn't have it's on HOSE blockchain on Ethereum.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: laugh, but there was actually a shitstarter featuring a similar object.
mircea_popescu: as they say, if you're not going up you're thereby going down, and indeed - the unmaturing avortons are not merely stationary, but regressive.
mircea_popescu: it's not so much that the pantsuit is a chtonic cult, but rather that the entire, complete and sole aspiration of these scumbag's lives is to climb back into mom's amniotic sac.
mircea_popescu: there is that.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-05#1710855 << point was that it was even lulzier snakeoil than apparent -- the solarshade derps actually dream of jacking microshit directly into their skulls
asciilifeform: there ~is~ unfilled bandwidth on dulap.
mircea_popescu: typical "and ima use the redundant capacity for" job.

The city bought Microsoft-based Nokia smartphones as part of a $160 million NYPD Mobility Initiative that Mayor Bill de Blasio touted as “a huge step into the 21st century.”'
