EDIT: re MITI see https://www.thepsmiths.com/p/review-miti-and-the-japanese-miracle https://www.thepsmiths.com/p/review-miti-and-the-japanese-mi... (note the cocytarchy link!) although I think that's a tad more tinfoil hat than my perception: an initial idealistic new deal-ish "reconstruction" of japan quickly followed by the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_Course https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_Course "Airstrip Two", complete with baroque electoral system.
In personal experience, I once dealt with a japanese SWE (we had a 7 figure contract from his company) who was surprised I had 3 computers on my desk; as he put it, back home they had 3 engineers sharing a single box. So maybe there were structural as well as technical issues behind the failure of the 5th generation project?

- gradschoolfail 2y agoLate 1980s/Early 1990s? (My mother related the same experience then) I’m increasing my weights for the idea that silicon-based computers will turn out to be the biggest self-pwn in the history of mankind*.. i know Kubrick was probably being facetious with the fluoride (and borderline slanderous in his Bonaparte script).. and felt that the whole mentat thing was satire… Who knows if Grothendieck meant “PFAS” by the demons in his shack :) (I’m assuming you have purely been a bits-hacker all your life? Name a significant civilizational selfpwn that was moral and not economic/techno.. moral considerations coarse grain out, the great men (or orgs) only aid the rationalizations..) Anyways, i dont know if its the reverse flynn [symptom] in japan… all evidence indicates that “men that you’ll never find” actually existed in japan (same as su & us pre 1980 uh VLSI ) then, but not now.. used to think that Thiel was hiding something, but its worse (“men you hoped you’ll never find but you wont know for sure till its too late, and you got rid of the wrong guys anyway”/”florida is not far away enough from (baja)california,”we need immigrants, but only from the antipodes”) Somehow Hinton just reminds me of Carver Mead.. *(Those grammes may yet lead to kilodamnes which then lead to microgrammes which then lead to salvation!.. sciencings turn satire into ffee!)
- gradschoolfail 2y agohttps://archive.is/VsnSZ https://archive.is/VsnSZ The idea that groups of pple are at least as wise/responsible as individuals, a hidden axiom of e.g. YC/cali(/cultural descendants of project-manhattanites), Or, e.g. 14th amendment, though its sort of a supporting villain Edit: i really appreciate the crosscultural priffing Yes,Vice-Minister “天降り” (being derived from a superposition of buddhist taoist & shinto notions) has a subtext of “it’s a barbaric concept, but we are the barbarians (/semidemons) after all..” Compare to sacred 天孫降臨
- 082349872349872 2y agoAlthough relatively far inland, 高千穂河原 would be on an island convenient to have been settled by horse-archer-ruled people coming from the eastern end of the eurasian steppe, by way of a peninsula which shall not be named here. (and far enough south to not have had to immediately impinge upon 擦文文化?) I'm not sure if the idea is that groups are as wise/responsible as individuals so much as that if one wishes to accomplish something as a group it helps greatly to have the relevant individual buy-in (in some cultures it seems to be the habit to gain consensus first, and only afterwards bring matters to an official vote). Yes, exactly that time period, but that would make you meeting the Old Physicist somewhat like the Tao/Erdős picture? (and to first-order, yes, bits-exclusive: hence why I think I'm much more likely to contribute something to my wider context by working on quantales than in expending effort in attempting to coax the primates to get along) EDIT: also late 80s/early 90s, the zine InFormation: "Every day, computers are making people easier to use." also a historical note: in 1815, my locals decided "hey, you know, Napoleon's patches were in many ways better to the Ancien Regime", so they pretty much kept the new revolutionary structures, and just replaced all the french who had been adminstering them with local boys. someday I need to figure out the latin for "Man, the rationalising"
