BingoBoingo: Far more honest city about it's state of decay which is still far less than Chicago's evn if the fauna here are
a bit more...
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I'm still
a few hundred miles away.
mircea_popescu: anyway, you two gonna hang out for
a beer or something ?
shinohai had dream last night of asciilifeform 's head in
a jar futurama style.
mircea_popescu: then this hack went in and grubstreet'd all over, to the point he crashes all the time, so he made himself
a watchdog. which i suppose needs
a watchdog of its own
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform dude's something else, linux client is so stable people run it from wed to wed (server updates and brief downtime weds) ; jurov made
a windows version that's just as stable - everyone else who runs it has no conn problems.
mircea_popescu: instead, it's
a fat turtle in
a pool. well done BingoBoingo
mircea_popescu: i suppose it's
a pretty decent way to drive people up the wall, as an angry teenager.
BingoBoingo: tldr; Bitch shoved
a bunch of bunnies in her cunny
BingoBoingo: end using an image of
a relevant activity, such as running or riding
a bike." In
a statement on Monday, Facebook apologized for its original stance and said it had determined that the photo does comply with its guidelines."
BingoBoingo: pany's "ad guidelines". After the group appealed against the rejection, Facebook's ad team initially defended the decision, writing that the photo failed to comply with the social networking site's "health and fitness policy". "Ads may not depict
a state of health or body weight as being perfect or extremely undesirable," Facebook wrote. "Ads like these are not allowed since they make viewers feel bad about themselves. Instead, we recomm
BingoBoingo: In other lulz: "Facebook has apologized for banning
a photo of
a plus-sized model and telling the feminist group that posted the image that it depicts "body parts in an undesirable manner". Cherchez la Femme, an Australian group that hosts popular culture talkshows with "an unapologetically feminist angle", said Facebook rejected an advert featuring Tess Holliday,
a plus-sized model wearing
a bikini, telling the group it violated the com
mircea_popescu: (and for the record : superman irl would last for about
a week, before all the bills for torn down walls and destroyed cars would put him away permanently. seems important to have this in the fucking record omfg.)
mircea_popescu: anyway. there's
a lot of wisdom fruits in all this for the general reader.
mircea_popescu: bullshit. next time someone "saves" you from having to pay
a 20 btc heating bill by burning down your house, call it kakologic.
a111: Logged on 2016-05-24 15:52 mp_at_olivos: the theory whereby "dead to me" is supposed to read "holds
a substantial fraction of my assets" and "the difference between these two statements only appeared to me sometime late may, which is coincidentally months after the alleged causative event and also within minutes of channel discussion of the fabulous failure of the miner cartel love tap and subsequent attempts to cover it up" may be either partially false or entirely
a111: Logged on 2016-05-24 16:39 jurov: let's please not mix everyhing together. we have on table
a new (to me) accusation kakobrekla sold share of bitbet under shady circumstances
mircea_popescu: yeah well, education is
a square built off
a line that reads "beatings"
a111: Logged on 2016-05-24 16:28 asciilifeform: it never wholly made sense to me why to issue shares for
a thing made of one or two people.
jurov: so, he had the premeditated plan of selling them and then waiting for
a year to pull the plug?
mircea_popescu: what ceausescu died embracing, and each and every of 'em idiots to date. "they meant well" and left
a hole behind.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform we're discussing
a general matter here, afaik ?
mircea_popescu: and if you diverge from it, no matter how you justify the divergence to yourself, or to
a random mob of uninvolved bystanders, you'll be held for it.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-24#1471349 << funny. but no. selling shares in what you pretend to be
a business and then setting that on fire however does open you to liability. because your job as
a principal is to act in the best interest of the shareholders. that's the only criteria. the ONLY criteria.
☝︎ trinque: asciilifeform: got your message; perhaps they come out rapidly enough that more than six get dumped at
a time to RSS?
jurov: let's please not mix everyhing together. we have on table
a new (to me) accusation kakobrekla sold share of bitbet under shady circumstances
☟︎ mp_at_olivos: anyway, five minute call, ima be back later. prolly on
a sane system, i sent out for.
mp_at_olivos: but it plays the role of single quote, much like % is
a question mark.
mp_at_olivos: motherfucker, im pissing utf everywhere like
a cancerous half shark in seawater
mp_at_olivos: asciilifeform: in
a sane world i´d just keep my kbd layout on trilema and download into os wherever i need it. but no sane world.
Framedragger: mp_at_olivos: out of loop, but surely you mean more than one (unsigned) comment on
a website?
mp_at_olivos: that derp similarly tried to get
a sort of confederacy of dounces going, in that i didn´t approve his version of events so he wouldn´t pay.
mp_at_olivos: yeah, well. for that matter mpex still has
a claim against one harnett. as fate would have it, for
a similar sum
mp_at_olivos: this practically means he´s bankrupt, and dealing with the bankrupt is always
a risky proposition for the mindful businessman.
mp_at_olivos: so in practical terms, he can´t treat that sum as anything but
a risk provision, and in no case can proceed to spend it.
mp_at_olivos: i forced
a more equitable solution, by which everyone got paid, him included.
mp_at_olivos: obviously, there´s
a peculiar path through the lies we´re suggested to take as per the usual "modern democracy" or "science" or whatever the fuck,
mp_at_olivos: the theory whereby "dead to me" is supposed to read "holds
a substantial fraction of my assets" and "the difference between these two statements only appeared to me sometime late may, which is coincidentally months after the alleged causative event and also within minutes of channel discussion of the fabulous failure of the miner cartel love tap and subsequent attempts to cover it up" may be either partially false or entirely
☟︎ mp_at_olivos: anyway, since i got
a little time here, to round off the whole bitbet thing
mircea_popescu: there's
a new faq page coming up, give it
a day or two
mircea_popescu: well yes, because the probability of 5 being
a factor is 1/5 and of 17 1/17, so three times rarer.
BingoBoingo: d categorize trending news in the past. Recode provides some examples, writing, "[Facebook] will no longer use its "1K list,"
a group of 1,000 websites it used to help verify headlines." Facebook will also get rid of several top publications, including the New York Times and CNN.
mircea_popescu: so if the product of primes up to x shook out
a composite that includes NO OTHER FACTORS than the primes already found through mutual gcd'ing of extant keys
mircea_popescu: you'll have to explain this to me again, i just thought the 8ball is
a product of primes up to x
mircea_popescu: so the new factor is
a composite of the old factors ; both of them
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, gotta stir the pot if they are going to make
a black spring happen in Baltimore
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> ... << so in the end ... the police gang fucked over the black gang. ok.... ? << In court. Cop dude skipped
a jury and had
a judge try the case.
A *black* judge!
Framedragger: shinohai: ah nice, should have known, worth
a check thanks!
mircea_popescu: like the guy was asking yest "am i still welcome here", what the fuck do i care what they do to it. they can take the thing and put it through
a leetspeak converter for all i care, what diff does it make.
mircea_popescu: seriously, someone who uses pdf is
a mathematician in the sense condolezza rice was an expert and obama
a nobel prize winner.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: but this means you preemptively dismiss, say (as an offhand example), lotsa mathematicians who put their stuff as preprints on arXiv and the likes. (generated with free software and renderable with free software (but, yes, using
a shitty proprietary-wannabe format nonetheless))
mircea_popescu: fucking academia. in the rare cases they have
a sane link, it's because they couldn't link to
a list of pdfs from within their excel spreadsheet.
Framedragger: heheh.. natural language folks actually employ NLP all the time, though it's become
a bit of
a catch-all shitty acronym, like
A.I.
mircea_popescu: (ftr my idea was to enumerate all words that appear more than once less than
a dozen times in the whole article body, then consider "related" articles which diverge from the average in the same way on the same words, with arbitrary cut-offs. none of which is anything but 1800 tech)
mircea_popescu: Framedragger ima skip the pdf for want of
a blowtorch, but lessee the other.
mircea_popescu: wtf is "quantum info flow" supposed to even be ? what random exotic property of subatomic scale did they arbitrarily decide to use the wrong word for ? is it lorenzian flow, ie, if you face it head on you discover there's really not that much, for it somehow contracts, whereas from aside it seemed like there's
a lot ? i noticed this property!
Framedragger: lol @ title on that cs.ox page "meets quantum info flow".. it's just that they use cool shit from category theory, tensors, etc.. but need to be careful not to be drawn into believing
a priori what the people in the tower say
mircea_popescu:
a large factor that collapsed "the quaint institution" (from the pov of the insiders, mind, who cares what foreigners think) was the sheer inability of distinguishing at the edges. "why is this white man black ?" "book sez so"
mircea_popescu: how do you establish relatedness of texts 500-1k words long out of
a list of thousands ?
mircea_popescu: currently, trilema title redirects one if clicked ot
a random (english language) article. what i'd want it to do is to redirect one to
a randomly chosen ~related~ article.
mircea_popescu: so here's
a question/job for any ai/machine reading afficionados :
a111: Logged on 2016-05-24 04:13 mod6: well, I've got tbot now checking if
a person is in L1, and if they are currently voiced before it'll answer commands:
http://dpaste.com/3GA9QJJ.txt mircea_popescu: but in general, the whole fucking exercise was
a lengthy, tedious story of "gimme".
mircea_popescu: well yes, you missed. because when
a shithead tries to steal from me it's not news. but when
a shithead lies about the reverse, your ears perk up.
mircea_popescu: fella has been saying versions of this since february, and got shown to have actually lied in the discovery process, to the syndic, for
a profit motive.
mircea_popescu: what, "oh no, someone bought me
a drink here once, i now own the place" or somesuch ?
solrodar: and more significantly, the guy made me think about new things for
a year or so
