mircea_popescu: and i think the sort of idiots running around pretending "everything;'s something!11" are doing deaf people a major disfavor.
mircea_popescu: eh, while i can appreciate the theoretical beauty of this "fuck you, i'm a dragon" approach, i do not credit it any. in fact, i think it only exists because the context is of the "fuck you, dragons" nature.
jurov: not for prelingval deaf, the "grammar" is purely visual
mircea_popescu: (In linguistics, an adjunct is an optional, or structurally dispensable, part of a sentence, clause, or phrase that, if removed or discarded, will not otherwise affect the remainder of the sentence.)
dignork: jurov: afaik it was russian project where they tried to build complex software, like space c&c.
jurov: and woinder if they have known what we know of retina, how would it end up
mircea_popescu: well actually, yeah, this is what i do :) my fucking thesis was on the limits of knowledge.
jurov: but i consider things like drakon editor a feeble attempt led by gut feeling of russina mathematicians
mircea_popescu: and if you can't do that, which is the absolute bare minimum of communication, you can't do anything meaningful.,
mircea_popescu: only because there's a textual context to generously support it.
mircea_popescu: i think the bitrate approach misses the fundamental point here. you'll never beat the bitrate of "put out random pixels" with any bitmap approach.
jurov: even if, the knowledge is not yet being used in practice to achieve better bitrates
mircea_popescu: that somehow didn't emerge. so wait, reverse engineer the retina ? in what sense ? it's pretty well described as is
mircea_popescu: that said, feel free to draw out your love and other emotions, preferably directly on the object, with sticky matter.

mircea_popescu: these are 2nd degree. then the town he lives in goes to shit, because no servants can be found, so smart people leave and usg moves in.
mircea_popescu: and also the sort of self discipline that job forces on him, so he is now also fat.
mircea_popescu: this does not cost him just the 380, but also the ease of interacting with people that job would have forced upon him. so he has no girlfriend.
mircea_popescu: ie, random imbecile 20something figures it's ok for him to forego employment as the guy bagging my groceries on the grounds that he can do without the 380 a week that job pays, and besides, he's a college grad! so he plays wow.
mircea_popescu: the job thing cuts so low that it is absolutely NEVER the case ANYONE couldn't find a job. it's just they do not wish to do the jobs available to them.
decimation: there is a mystery: plenty of folks sit around all day playing WoW, etc for hours, and yet cannot find a productive 'real job'

saifedean: if you want to go a little bit beyond TLP, try a man by the name of Jon Rappoport, and don't be intimidated by the cookiness... this guy was onto this stuff decades before TLP... and is far ahead
mircea_popescu: in the 70s, the occasional girl that went "i prefer older men" was kind of a freak. in the 90s, it was common enough. by now... i don't think any girl with options goes for boys her age. and so... there's your overclocking.
asciilifeform: saifedean: as tlp describes, the 'disorders' are a socially-acceptable means to get officially approved to take various psychotropic drugs, for those who go in for this
asciilifeform: but the traditional '90s obsession over clocks...
mircea_popescu: i don't think the average smartphone user is smart enough to know what the cpu does.
saifedean: my brother is in med school and today he reported to me that according to the latest DSM, 25% suffer from psychiatric disorders... won't be long before they get this up to 100%
asciilifeform: like the canned soups that are more and more water by mass each year
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so is this sheer incompetence, or is china ever so delicately strangling them ? "first, you get them made for free. then, you get them made for ten dolla, but you have to give us the blueprints. then, we only make them for you out of 2nd best items. and then... wait, you're still here ?!"
asciilifeform: saifedean: except that it's a transparent scam, i, for instance, have the highest grade 'insurance' publicly sold in my locale, and it still offers nothing like the conditions found in civilized world
mircea_popescu: they WERE in soviet russia after all, kulak's diseases.
mircea_popescu: i wonder if diabethes and gout will become punishable offenses in the us the way all sorts of "psychological" imagined stuff is.
asciilifeform: i saw the figure and went 'wtf, what is this, some weirdo VLIW cpu with perversely spiffy pipelining?!' then rememberd 'nope, this is a garden-variety 'pentium m' box...'
saifedean: "and hey! When I exercise my god-given right to diabetes... Obamacare will be there for me"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and unlike the nkvd, they didn't even have to twist anyone's arm to keep quiet.
mircea_popescu: saifedean people generally have an inborn, deeply selected ability to only hear parts. so, through this approach "we pay you 10k in salary on the condition you spend no less than 11k a month" sounds like a good deal.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this was an actual 'news'. today they advertised various machinery, with slower clock than a year ago.
saifedean: i don't really understand how anyone could want to live in the US in this day and age... anybody who chooses to go live there is essentially an other-determined dweeb who cannot think for themselves and just follows what the tv tells them
mircea_popescu: i dunno... the "i'm not a snitch" thing floats to the point of "what is an american' in my head.
asciilifeform: like in any other totalitarian pisshole
asciilifeform: it was 50y ago too, theoretically
saifedean: i lived in DC for a summer and interacted with the residents... my theory is that DC has collected every single shitty asshole/teacher-pet/snitch/scummy loser from every single high school in the world to go live there... no matter where you were in the world, if you were a terrible piece of shit in high school, you found a way to get to DC by age 30
mircea_popescu: we will once you're done playing with these ones.
saifedean: yeah, the debt is enormous, and the CB keeps the government on a tight leash with it... banks are all well-capitalized and keep rolling over the debt for the government... but the government can never go crazy and do 5-year-plans or giant infrastructure projects or whatever
saifedean: but DC is the major league of stupid... the stupidest and scummiest of beirut and bucharest and everywhere else go to play in the majors in DC
mircea_popescu: imagine all the stupid of wash dc done louder by stupider people. also in a swamp.
saifedean: pegged to the dollar, but since the dollar is always falling, and the CB's gold reserves aren't, this makes the CB very comfortable
saifedean: washington is a fucking shit-hole, i wouldn't live in it if you paid me 20k a week instead of rent, there's no city worse on the planet
punkman: saifedean: hard money, dude! << but pegged to the dollar?
mircea_popescu: saifedean sounds a lot like very early romanian. what do they speak even, misr ?
saifedean: i've traveled the world and never seen a place better, the more i travel the more i fall in love with this place...
mircea_popescu: as im not terribly in the mood...
mircea_popescu: saifedean from where i sit the only sane reason to go to lebanon would be the same as 1k years ago : to start a crusade.
saifedean: there's tons of refugees from syria, but they mostly come here and work, there's no welfare state to speak of so immigration is not really a problem
saifedean: this place went through 15 years of civil war though, everyone has had their fill, and nobody wants a repeat, and people are far, far, more careful than in other places... people hjave just learned to ignore all the drama and live their life... all the "violence" and "insecurity" after all, does not amount to half of a chicago
saifedean: it'd be swimming with british stag dos and russian billionaires otherwise
saifedean: yeah, the fear of the country falling over is what keeps it so wonderfully beautiful, as it keeps out all the unwanted visitors :D
saifedean: im not even lebanese, i went to university here, then lived in london and new york... the move from beirut to these anglo shit-holes was a culture shock, there is no comparison... as soon as i finished my phd and got an offer from a lebanese university, i didnt hesitate move back
saifedean: and some of the world's best food, women, and wine...
mircea_popescu: yeah, but they have to compete with ohio's 150 a month or w/e it was.
saifedean: views on the mediterranean and the snow-covered mountains... 24 hour delivery services to get you anything you could possibly imagine
saifedean: the reason is that they still have sizeable gold reserves, unlike the rest of the world's troglodyte central bankers chasing returns and playing etrade accounts with their reserves
saifedean: but then when the rubble settled down, the central bank set the currency at 1500 Lira/USD in 1992 and it has not budged since
saifedean: it was 91% before the war, then the socialist scum managed to fuck shit up in the war, and destroyed the currency in 1983, it went from 3 Liras/USD to around 2,000Lira/USD
saifedean: people don't really have shitty bezzle careers, they have actual productive jobs making useful things... like furniture and food
saifedean: the fact that this place has almost-hard money makes a real difference: there is no bezzle here, there has never been a stock market crash, housing crash, or any kind of business cycle
saifedean: the value of the gold in the central bank's reserves at market price was equal to 91% of the value of all the currency
saifedean: the entire civil war drama was basically communist-funded trash trying to destroy the central bank and currency
saifedean: this is really one of the last civilized places in the world, because it's got the hardest currency in the world... you can see lack of socialist decivilization in everything here...
saifedean: oh no, there's a lot of ruin to be made in this place, and the socialist scum have been trying in vain for decades...
mircea_popescu: this exact thing was a problem, written down as such, exact words, in 1914. and since forever : central government attracts town loafers, who then derp about.
saifedean: the socialistards have been pressing for start-up funding and environmental projects, and the CB has obliged with some low-interest loans and funding conferences and start-ups and publicity... what could possibly go wrong
mircea_popescu: what will the kids figure out later ? oh, that - to go no further than latest trilema - jared son of charles got 40mn "investment" from x and y while charles was in jale because campaign donations and other issues related to x and y.
saifedean: the central bank here is probably the world's best, the currency has the highest gold cover of any currency in the world, they banned the banks from investing in any securities and compeltely avoided the 2008 meltdown...
saifedean: there is such a giant start-up culture in lebanon these days thanks to Central Bank bezzle, everyone and their dog wants to make a start-up... nobody wants to actually do something, just pontificate on start-ups and entrepreneurship
mircea_popescu: anyway, re the "questions asked" : in a total nod to asciilifeform's "merit washing" ideas, by now the point isn't even to have any sort of product, as it hasn't been for decades, noreven any sort of plan. they "invest" in "great teams", nao. "kids will figure it out later".
mircea_popescu: saifedean this is the prevailing view by now imo
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: that sounds like a great video game premise for learning purposes. "Flip the ponzi"
gribble: The operation succeeded.
saifedean: my working theory is that any "entrepreneur" who engages in any form of 'event' about start-ups or entrepreneurship is not an entrepreneur, and has nothing interesting to offer the world. if they did have something interesting, they wouldn't have time for wankery
mircea_popescu: otherwise, the pension funds end up hodling anyway, and the fed rescues them, and here we are.
mircea_popescu: anyway, "society" is broad. the vc game is just to flip the ponzi to larger fools. they succeed 55% of the time or so.
