mircea_popescu: this is your error here : when you say "they still have years of catching up to do" you imagine a theoretical construct that has no bearing to reality. just because you're far away doesn't mean you're far ahead. as it happens, you aren't, western women will survive much better than western men.
mircea_popescu: look here : in physics (which is a practical matter), you can have such a thing as a set with a measure and yet thereby not obtain an ordering. in mathematics, your ring (set + idempotent/unit items) also thereby has an ordering.
andreicon: okay, i don't know the formal definition
andreicon: i do agree, they have an accelerated pace
andreicon: the vast majority
andreicon: they still have years of catching up to do
mircea_popescu: not specifically. that was mostly a 90s item, resulting from the uneven development of broadband and the uneasy interaction between society and internet.
andreicon: most likely, that's the first thing that comes to mind
andreicon: so she thought she had the same shit everyone else had
mircea_popescu: (ie yes, the boneheaded fucktard is also incapable of learning from her own experience, but whatever, it's what the us politruk class is all about)
mircea_popescu: the time when people with better access to superior technologies ruined her inept shit precedes this event.
andreicon: then some russki said she runs win2003 on her exchange server and from there it all went to shit
mircea_popescu: that was the whole thing. that's all she had to communicate, when all is said and done.
mircea_popescu: andreicon yet consider : when the pantsuited hilarity was aiming to somehow establish herself as actually real and existent as opposed to merely imaginary fiction (in the face of trump's onslaught) her argument was ... "i was in the situation room!!!". she was saying, basically, that while she formally appears a redditard like any other, let them not forget that nevertheless she has... priviledged access to... special technol
shinohai: Am I to presume the pockmarked face = smallpox?
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, eh, that's history aka dead things aka things that never even existed 'cause dead, hence... old exciting is dead, on to the new exciting
mircea_popescu: just as the black worker on the plantation thought he is a slave because god made him stupid ; just so the redditard of today thinks he has easy equal access to everything.
mircea_popescu: andreicon the illusion of "~easy~ access to ~same~ technology" is universally and i find without exception the macula of the modern slave.
andreicon: i find it challenging dealing with the politics, windows degrades itself
andreicon: srsly, do you think that's all there is to me?
diana_coman: andreicon> not necessarily new, just a few things i haven't tried <- the not-exciting ones?
andreicon: easy access to the same technology*
mircea_popescu: the advent of technology huh.
andreicon: and with the advent of technology, it's now easy to put x and y together and get something exciting
andreicon: not as of yet, i'm still getting my shit together
mircea_popescu: anyway, why do you think you've got something to train others ?
mircea_popescu: you're allowed to to whatever the hell you please, at least for now.
andreicon: i don't know how to search the logs yet
mircea_popescu: phf for my curiosity, don't you find it to work better when the girl's looking for them ?
mircea_popescu: that's the problem with me, i'm seldom actually doing what i'm say i'm doing.
mircea_popescu: phf i dunno what you've been doing with your life to this point, but let me point out to you in no certain terms that adjusting what you do by what's available is the child's lot.
phf: hah, make them talk over radio to do a distributed coordination for tps
phf: i mean, the hackerspaces told me that it's "too hard", but they've been launching the same weather balloons with a camera for payload for like years now. literally a highschool project
mircea_popescu: glider bs is ww2 reich wunderwaffen (and i hope you read german for they did explore this to death)
mircea_popescu: if you are destroying the targets the solution is rocket engine, which by now are cheap and easy to make. if you are merely diddling the target the solution is flying lawnmower. (although if you only want to do it monentarily, such as picture taking as opposed to eg van ecking the solution really is satellite).
mircea_popescu: fwiw balloon-glider is a solution to this problem in the sense straight razor and barber's bowl is a solution to flebotomy. it does work, as it did long ago, but it does also kinda ignore the more recent past.
phf: well, your basic algorithm is nearest neighbor, but then you can assign random weights to sites of interest, to ensure that different machines prioritize different walks (even if they get dropped from same location)
mircea_popescu: for instance : if i were solving this for military purposes i would have the machine list all targets it can visit such that it can still reach one landing spot, and then choose one to visit RANDOMLY. this offers some very strong guarantees : a) each machine will touch one target ; b) the algo can be recursed at ANY point (such as power failure) ; c) if you make a fleet of them you get coverage at no communication expense.
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-14#1683203 << glider specifically. you drop a glider from a balloon, you have known altitude, air foil and weight, you can figure out maximum distance, but that one's constantly changing, which you can track from rate of descent vs distance traveled. your drop point is also random because of the balloon drift, but it's somewhere around sites of interest
phf: of course, but does that mean i should completely abandon the problem?

phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-14#1683186 << traveling salesman has approximate solution strategies. besides in this case there's additional complexity of upper limit on travel distance, which is also constantly changing. so if your maximum distance is above shortest path, then you want tsp, but if it's below then you probably have to rely on nearest neighbor/nearest fragment heuristics anyway
