asciilifeform: i used to real quite a bit of (mostly vintage) sf. 'anathem' mostly killed my brain receptors for this. because now nothing stands up, ends up giving me exactly the kind of indigestion mircea_popescu describes above.
asciilifeform: stephenson's piece is about a parallel universe where philosophy actually took off (in the sense of massive 'sharashkas' being built sometime during what corresponds to our 'roman' period)
mircea_popescu: (the mayonnaise cutting, for the readers that never made mayo, is this absolutely catastrophic event from hell.
mircea_popescu: my problem with sf is more personal i guess. i think i have a very finnicky suspension of disbelief, makes the mayo cut extremely easy for me.
asciilifeform: one of those things that screams from every page 'this was written by an encyclopaedist who gnawed through the leather straps'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that 1 book (mentioned above) is probably the only truly interesting piece of sf produced in usa in... 30? yrs
mircea_popescu roughly speaking despises all us style fiction, to the point of not actually liking most sf.
mircea_popescu: and if you do read the book, its prolly going to be something like knuth or whatever other exceptionally well systhematising works, which are again well in the past.
asciilifeform: (for those who haven't read neal stephenson's tale 'anathem' - in it, there lived folks in specially designated reservations who were permitted only to think and study, and were let out to wander around for a few weeks once in a decade, century, or millenium - depending on what order they belonged to)
mircea_popescu: THE BOOK.
asciilifeform: if ThickAsThieves is here: 'material that would make it past the mathic wall'
mircea_popescu: i think less than 1% of the books i ever read were published after my birth.
asciilifeform: mike_c: when someone makes an observation like this, usually they mean books that would still exist if they had to be hand-copied
mike_c: empirical evidence only. what people tell me they are reading.
mircea_popescu: mike_c going by what, the nytimes lists ?
asciilifeform: mocsny wasn't a god. just an apex predator in his niche. naggum, al schwartz, mocsny, 7 or 8 other people - they each had a kingdom.
mike_c: 99.9% of the books that get read provide no more intellectual stimulation than an episode of family guy.
mircea_popescu: and walk around talking to other bearded men in sarafans
mircea_popescu: if people REALLY wanted intellectual stimulation, they wouldn't read books, they'd listen to music.
mircea_popescu: Face it, movies are eye candy trash. If people want intellectual stimulation they read books. There's nothing funnier than a pseudo-intellectual trying to get pompous about "film." << fucking hater o noes.
asciilifeform: (his surviving works, rather)
asciilifeform: accidentally inspired (long after his disappearance) the 'manosphere' people
mircea_popescu: "If marriage constituted more than a hypothetical risk of getting raped, I would expect women to learn to avoid it as women have learned to avoid walking around alone at night, or at least show some reluctance to get married, as women often show reluctance to put themselves into positions of vulnerability with men they just met or men they have gotten to know and decided they don't want to have sex with." << this is ac

mircea_popescu: Today, the Internet brings every imaginable form of pornography to every home. The Internet is too valuable for too many things to just ban, and we can't even regulate spam that nobody wants, much less a product such as porn for which enormous demand exists."
mircea_popescu: "Look at how the Internet has overwhelmed opponents of pornography. Back in the 1970's, the conservatives who ruled some towns were able to wipe out pornographic bookstores and theaters. Depending on what town you lived in, pornography might have been hard to come by.
mircea_popescu: (in the purely math sense : i'm probably going to be able to write a simple transform)

The free women workers employed in the kitchen refused to do it: they were paid only to cook. The administration tried to foist it on to the guards in their off-duty hours when they would otherwise have been playing dominoes in the guardroom. The guards were all healthy young men, chosen for their toughness. But in their

asciilifeform: moscny was, admittedly, thinking of androids, rather than tubes.
mircea_popescu: there you go.
mircea_popescu: all that "lol at sexist women ads from the 50s" obliquely misses the point that "honey, that was then. i wouldn 't settle for a carbureter today, and i wouldn't settle for a 50s housewife only. do more. MUCH more."

mircea_popescu: it's the sad fact of the matter than if you do the nude math, a tube is actually a better girlfriend than whatever random town dweller may run into. that's roughly a third (of western women) of a fifth (western world).
asciilifeform: replacement tech for bio 'product' has an almost inescapable attribute - very little resemblance to the original, in the end. 'airplanes are also birds, they merely don't flap their wings...' (russian, forget who)

mike_c: hanbot: The betting closes ~20 blocks early because otherwise the very end game presents situations that I think are non-healthy. same kind of reasons for bitbet closing bets early. the last open year is 979 because the last paid bomb goes off on year 980.

diana_coman: it's mainly spammers at the top based on pure length of line
diana_coman: yeah, that's why I did not put the top 10 initially
diana_coman: kind of who uses the longest words or what?
diana_coman: it's a bit of a hack so not terribly precise - I count non-words and then add 1 - I've used basic string processing rather than all the text mining shit
diana_coman: mircea_popescu yes, it counts urls, but that's not the top by wordlength, the title was misleading I guess; updated now

mircea_popescu: in any case the end of civilisation is here simply because we've lost control of text.
mircea_popescu: text mining people are among the few who appreciate the problem of text deluge close to its actual size, which is another way to say they actually know we're surrounded by uncontrolled wildfire. that they pretend like you know, pissing on it works is more the result of their psychological need to fit in with the rest of the crowd, that blisfully ignores the problem, than anything else.
mircea_popescu: given the enthusiasm of text mining people << this is the enthusiasm of the doomed - it doesn't reflect anything on the direct avenue, but is merely the nervous laugh of someone who just got cut in half.
mircea_popescu: No better test to see text mining fail, it seems, than applying it to irc logs on bitcoin-assets: a careful calibration of state of the art tools yielded only a clear case of by the time you figure out and implement everything needed to obtain even reasonable results, you surely did the automated work at least 5 times if not 10, if not 100.
