Anyone bemoaning a lack of porn on the internet must be using a different internet than I am. Porn is ubiquitous in all its forms and varieties. Anything you could possibly want is just a click away.

It is, however, very difficult to base a business on internet porn. That might be a problem in some ways, but it is a different problem than lack of access.




At it's height, Tumblr porn was different. Similar to Twitter and Reddit, yet somehow more human.

Maybe it is because Tumblr allows wild customization, instead of forcing a unified corporate approved interface.

It felt like a place to explore and discover things about yourself in the process. Much of the porn on the internet these days feels like it's just trying to profile and exploit you .


Not just a click away. You also need a little typing.

Really the business in internet porn is psychological manipulation and compromat. There's no business otherwise, it's sex, it's bad for sex to be efficient, porn is efficient, too efficient. No business. As a straight model I can tell you the business is in being very close to pornography without ever actually crossing the boundary.

Teasing.

Very inefficient.

I got down to my underwear for my portfolio day 1, no problem. Absolutely no problem. There was a girl [a very young woman model age, like 19, I was 24, her name was Antonia] getting her portfolio done simultaneous, she was naked too, but with lingerie. Our agent was there, telling me just strip, don't go to the bathroom, look at her, está en pelota she's naked. It's a living. Our interest in each other was purely professional.

Teasing. Like the Russky pop stars. That's where the money is.


Why does this read like Chuck Palahniuk



http://fgemm.com redirects to the same place.


Why is this redirect set up?


Less typing. More memorable. Meaning it survives a lobotomy.


What does fgemm signify? Why did you set up a redirect to your own HN comments? Memory preservation?


Yeah memory preservation.

Fgemm is based on the initials sgemm or dgemm, based on gemm, GEneral Matrix-Matrix multiplication. gemv is GEneral Matrix-Vector multiplication. So it's meaningless, except of course for my target audience, who gets spinal suffering from typing those letters out in that order, everybody knows what it means. fgemm, if you google it, gets a lot of hits. Supposedly it means like a modular form of gemm, but there's also, among the hits, among which I am not counted despite owning the domain, the intended initials.

Fast GEneral Matrix-Matrix Multiplication.

Faster GEneral Matrix-Matrix Multiplication.

Fastest GEneral Matrix-Matrix Multiplication.

One of those.

I'm not sure which yet. Probably Fastest. That's a brand name, that's how I differentiate my products--matrix multiplication products--from the competition. Because I'm fast/faster/fastest.

Nothing else matters.
