15:44 mircea_popescu there's two kinds of kids on any schoolyard : those who know you're better than them and admit it, and those who know you're better than them and will have to be beaten into shit because of it.
15:47 pete_dushenski the third kind is... the better kid.

15:48 mircea_popescu and no, there isn't "always someone better". rather, there's always a best.

16:26 pete_dushenski bbl. all these preggos are reminding me that it's father's day.
16:33 asciilifeform in other olds, ''Whilst making love a necklace broke. / A row of pearls mislaid. / One sixth fell to the floor. / One fifth upon the bed.'
16:34 mircea_popescu "and nineteen down her throat"
16:34 asciilifeform ( from 'Lilavati', c. 1150 ad, Colebrook transl., )
16:38 asciilifeform ( http://www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/history/Biographies/Bhaskara_II.html << subj, for the intrepid )
16:48 asciilifeform 'Lilavati was the name of Bhaskaracharya's daughter. From casting her horoscope, he discovered that the auspicious time for her wedding would be a particular hour on a certain day. He placed a cup with a small hole at the bottom of the vessel filled with water, arranged so that the cup would sink at the beginning of the propitious hour.
16:49 asciilifeform When everything was ready and the cup was placed in the vessel, Lilavati suddenly out of curiosity bent over the vessel and a pearl from her dress fell into the cup and blocked the hole in it. The lucky hour passed without the cup sinking. Bhaskaracharya believed that the way to console his dejected daughter, who now would never get married, was to write her a manual of mathematics!'
16:50 phf neat
16:58 mircea_popescu the stories of people who cared too much.
17:04 diana_coman mircea_popescu, now that makes me curious just how much is too much and how much is perfectly fine and how much is too little
17:04 diana_coman might as well say people who cared.
17:04 mircea_popescu you only find out when you die.
17:04 asciilifeform esp in re monarch's marriageable children
17:05 diana_coman now if you care about that when you die that is indeed too much, lol
17:05 diana_coman leftover care - becomes active at last minute
17:05 mircea_popescu diana_coman when i was about three, they took me to a doctor. it was like a kinda mysterios affair, and it made no sense as i was not sick. the doctor asked me what do i do if i'm hungry ? and i told him i eat. he then asked me what do i do if i'm sleepy, and i said i go to bed. that was it, and everyone was impressed because apparently no fucking kids ever have any sense left.
17:05 mircea_popescu nor, for that matter, indians of a millenium ago.
17:06 mircea_popescu if you get aroused, fuck. what the fuck is a marriage to begin with, let alone "propitious hours" bullshit.
17:06 mircea_popescu you'll know after you're spent if it was going to be any good or not. never before.
17:08 diana_coman uhm, the doctor story is weird re impressed but maybe that was the point of the visit for all I know
17:08 mircea_popescu at the time they did this "normal development" visit with kids.
17:08 mircea_popescu from birth to about 2 or 3, something like that.
17:08 asciilifeform afaik the ancients actually bought the 'propitious time' thing. it was as real to them as 'launch at the right transit time of the orbits' is to modern rocketeer
17:08 diana_coman so if they were impressed it follows it wasn't normal? lolz
17:09 mircea_popescu yes, sanity is abnormal now.
17:09 mircea_popescu and since about the invention of writing, so every perverse tard can note down his insanity for later perverse tards to apply.
17:09 mircea_popescu mathematics manuals and whatnot.
17:10 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: actually $subj is pretty good manual. beat the living shit out of what europe had going at the time ( and until end of 16th c, in some aspects )
17:10 mircea_popescu but let the record reflect that it strikes me as the height of batshit insane psychosis to fail to fuck and then misappropriate mathematics into one's psychosis.
17:10 diana_coman I suspect every hole in knowledge (and not only that) might look like... insanity to those who ...simply have a better plug; not even a full plug, just better
17:10 mircea_popescu asciilifeform i believe.
17:10 asciilifeform diana_coman: and to those who have ~worse~ plug also..
17:10 mircea_popescu aha!
17:10 diana_coman asciilifeform, indeed
17:11 mircea_popescu but seriously, wtf knowledge is it needed to stuff the plug into the prelubricated hole ?
17:11 mircea_popescu fucking puppies manage to figure it out eventually.
17:11 asciilifeform overabundance of options breeds divinations.
17:11 asciilifeform ('how do i pick?!!!')
17:12 mircea_popescu should have written her a manual on buridan's ass.
17:12 asciilifeform and buridaning.
17:12 diana_coman mircea_popescu, this idea that go fuck woman of centuries ago and get yourself pregnant and oh, no worries,what
17:12 asciilifeform lol mircea_popescu beat me to it.
17:12 mircea_popescu could have simply consisted of "proasta pulii ce esti tu, mori de nefutai inecata in supa de pule."
17:12 mircea_popescu diana_coman i know of no culture outside of the chtonic-inspired anglos who deemed pregnancy as a negative.
17:13 mircea_popescu "you'll get pregnant, good for you, it means your innards work."
17:13 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: i suspect - unrelated. think, king has 1 daughter, 'fuck, how do i spend this one torpedo'
17:14 diana_coman ugh, in the right conditions though, not exactly in all cases
17:14 diana_coman honour deaths and all that are not anglo-thing
17:14 mircea_popescu asciilifeform moreover, i am not familiar with the story, nor with the culture, likely reading too much / wrong things into it.
17:14 mircea_popescu diana_coman indians tho, these aren't wanna-be anglo muslims.
17:15 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: the 1source of the story seems to be the farsi translator (16th c) of the text
17:15 asciilifeform who could have easily pulled it from own arse
17:15 asciilifeform so there's that.
17:16 diana_coman I kind of doubt the story is *true* as such, so there is that
17:16 mircea_popescu it's annoying to high heavens. it's one thing to show up at your wedding and go "what a great day for a wedding, let's have two!" and force your first maid into marriage with some randomlty chosen guy. it's the same thing to say "fuck this shit, i don't feel like getting married today, go home all of youze".
17:16 mircea_popescu it is ANOTHER thing to go on about how the cups told you what to do and the spirits and the moasa-sa pe gheata.
17:17 diana_coman I can't say I studied the time+culture of the guy to know, perhaps mircea_popescu knows better what he is talking about; it sounds really highly unlikely to me that it was the case that woman could just go and fuck, hurray, but whatevers
17:17 mircea_popescu and i dun care for the another thing at all.
17:17 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: yet stories of 'the cups told' abound
17:17 asciilifeform somehow it's an attractor.
17:17 mircea_popescu diana_coman who was gonna keep her ?
17:17 mircea_popescu asciilifeform yes because the human cattle aspires to one thing above all, and that is to be relieved of the downside of agency while getting to keep on the sly as much as possible of the upside.
17:18 mircea_popescu and this is also the root and beginning of all insanity.
17:18 diana_coman that's the thing: she had value, not to be wasted /given away to any bum who s/he fell like fucking on the day
17:19 mircea_popescu diana_coman so let her father bring men home rather than write inept shit (which nevertheless was better than whatever europe had, or kamchatka for that matter, peninsulae nobody heard of)
17:20 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: alt-hypothesis -- princess ugly, 'cup system' -- rationalization of the 0 bidders...
17:20 diana_coman I really think you are reading too much into it; the way I see the thing it's basically a dedication; inept like all dedications if analysed but wtf is there to analyse in the first place
17:20 mircea_popescu asciilifeform they all grip the same from behind. ugly prevented no princess to date.
17:20 mircea_popescu diana_coman yeah prolly. i just don't like it.
17:20 diana_coman ahahah asciilifeform might have it; maybe not ugly but barren
17:21 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: lesse what BingoBoingo says re whether ~all~ 'princesses' 'grip the same from behind'
17:21 asciilifeform 'cause i can think of a few, linked, that might not..
17:21 mircea_popescu nah cuz the vessel comes with a seal (and yes, the inspiration for babylonian trade, the seals, and amphorae was DEFINITELY the cunt). you can claim it wasn't tried or that it didn't work, these aren't confoundable.
17:22 mircea_popescu asciilifeform they didn't have the tech to produce mcdonalds princesses in 1100 india.
17:22 diana_coman sure; just that you don't claim *in writing* that it didn't work, lel
17:22 asciilifeform 'removal of seal voids warranty!'
17:22 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: they did have the pox tho
17:22 mircea_popescu diana_coman there is that i guesd
17:23 diana_coman at asciilifeform's link it even says it might have been his wife, not his daughter - so maybe it was more of a consolation/precisely the dedication thing I was saying earlier: too busy to fuck, I wrote this book
17:24 mircea_popescu he prolly said the same to the harem girls, also.
17:24 diana_coman sure, what of it; all of them were L-whatevers
17:24 mircea_popescu but, if the lived experience of ghandi is any guide, the classical indians did not very pointedly distinguish daughters from wives.
17:24 asciilifeform 'lilavati' seems to translate simply as 'she-playful-one'
17:24 asciilifeform so fuck all knows.
17:25 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: i have doubts that they ran a closed-arsemouth production cycle. it'd show today.
17:25 mircea_popescu doesn't it ?
17:26 asciilifeform nein

17:29 asciilifeform ( among owners reputed to stand for Buy Other Stereo Equipment ! )

17:32 mircea_popescu my exposure has been minimal.
17:33 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: most of the working-head hindus you might conceivably run into outside of india, were pushed out in 1970s-80s 'red' phase, when untouchables took over academia and had a sort of american-style 'diversity' shitfest
17:34 asciilifeform was not a massive wave of emigration, tho, not like j00z from su
17:34 mircea_popescu which has succeeded in one aspect : i see india, generally speaking, as a sort of latrine. probably because of these.
17:35 asciilifeform by and large, india today ain't exporting the j.c.bose's, no.
17:35 mircea_popescu but, honestly, there's older beefs. srsly, schmucks had steel in 900 and never made tanks ? why ?
17:35 asciilifeform same reason as china
17:35 asciilifeform turns out steel ain't enough, you also need to give half a shit
17:36 mircea_popescu yes, well, good thing they were writing complicated "thank you for your leadership" pieces of maculature!
17:36 mircea_popescu fucking us congress, going for 1500 years. blergh.
17:36 asciilifeform the 'technology' of the latter, is afaik still virginal subject ( unlike metallurgy )
17:36 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: china went for, what, 5k yrs, same
17:37 mircea_popescu asciilifeform i think the discussion has uncovered why exactly it is my bristles stand up. it'd be one thing if a sane place with a sane culture with respectable people churned out a "hey, chick didn't get married because the cups lolz" thing. THEN it would be funny.
17:37 mircea_popescu but when india's involved it's not funny just like tuberculosis cough's not funny.
17:38 asciilifeform hey, greeks also had oracles etc
17:39 mircea_popescu and with them it's almost tolerable.

19:24 BingoBoingo <mircea_popescu> asciilifeform they didn't have the tech to produce mcdonalds princesses in 1100 india. << McDonalds or not, Beetus tends to run strong in Indian populations. Perhaps cow-ban is in response to earlier Mc-Hamplanet crisis on subcontinent?
19:24 mircea_popescu what's cow gonna do ? diabetes == vegetarian diet

19:29 mircea_popescu lol sold car got lawnmoer ?

19:30 asciilifeform and realized, while doing this, that in fact you don't need 2k+2 bits for the karatsuba intermediates, you can do instead of (x0+x1)*(y0+y1) , (x0-x1)*(y0-y1), and then you don't need to propagate carries, but only take absolutevalue and xor the borrows to see if gotta invert the resulting term
↖ ↖
19:31 mircea_popescu check it out, lowly labour is good for oyu
19:31 asciilifeform and then i look in shitpile of paperz and find that some d00d actually did this, called it 'subtractive karatsuba', used in some microcontroller,
19:31 asciilifeform but... get this :
19:31 asciilifeform STILL NOT IN CONSTANT TIME because apparently mother dropped him as a child
19:32 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: getting up from the terminal on occasion is good for people, it is one of the reasons asciilifeform doesn't hurry to automate various chores
19:32 mircea_popescu aha
19:34 BingoBoingo <mircea_popescu> what's cow gonna do ? diabetes == vegetarian diet << Cow competes for carbs, hard to do if burger
19:37 mircea_popescu the way to end up usflated is a) margerine (gunks up the fat cycle, body ends up dependent on citric cycle for energy) + processed starches (hfcs, potato, whatever)

19:39 mircea_popescu his metabolism costs about 160% what it costs in normal people, and that's it.
19:40 asciilifeform there is something to this. asciilifeform usedto wurk with a buncha american d00dz, not all of whom even fatter than asciilifeform !, and they would not hear of the idea of ~walking~ to restaurant <1km from office
19:40 mircea_popescu there's no spare energy for such stuff.
19:40 mircea_popescu let alone any intensive bouts of thinking.
19:41 * asciilifeform is not a thin man; but can walk dawn - midnight noprob
19:42 mircea_popescu with books even!
19:42 asciilifeform books, toolz, etc
