mike_c: I assume mpif can't be far behind, given the lack of anything worth investing in.. talk about
a dead zone for btc income investing.
mircea_popescu: OMFG! so these useless imbeciles have added every last thing to utf EXCEPT
A TITS GLYPH ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: is there anything substantially wrong with just polling
a rss feed whenever your server feels like it ?
mike_c:
a feed would certainly work
mircea_popescu: is your definition of epsilon "such
a value that nothing can be picked significantly smaller than it" ?
jurov: you actually worded it as "
a is significantly less than b, and b is less than epsilon"
mircea_popescu: jurov> okay, i can see some tortured logic how diana_coman reds it << what exactly is tortured ? "
a is less than b, and b is less than epsilon".
danielpbarron: if you link the log, that line gets
a reference link to where you mentioned it
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> mp's productions are so opaque <<< weren't you running
a simulation ?
☟︎ diana_coman: the way I read it, it says:
a. the fiat pretend-sovereign has nothing to do with mpex going private b. bitbet did NOT die because of 17 btc
gribble: Error: "b" is not
a valid command.
phf: since i fucked up the timezone again, had to refresh the log, so now inaugural first #t-
a post belongs to diana_coman
phf: hehehe, sorry pete you're no longer first #t-
a post, i discovered that i had timezone issue, that's now been corrected
mircea_popescu: bickering endlessly in that tedious, god forsaken unreadable style of dostoyevski's, about who should have done what or w.e the fuck , i can never finish
a page of his dialogue.
mircea_popescu: on the other hand, imagine the october revolution if EVERYONE involved had stayed small time govt clerk/whatever the fuck they were.
a ?
mircea_popescu: people want to have achieved rather than achieve, apparently. it seems to me
a modern affliction, this, but who even knows.
mircea_popescu: and i suspect
a lot of the popular hatred of inflation has absolutely nothing to do with inflation's ills, but quite the opposite ; and instead is
a nude and rude displeasure at this "oh, now that i'm on the pig i can't just sit here and pick my nose ?!?!" thing
mircea_popescu: he's
a bright fellow, an an economics professor. and the opportunity has passed him by.
mircea_popescu: i was there for it - you weren't there for it. i tell you it was
a lot more of this than of that. but yes both existed.
ben_vulpes: PeterL: did you /read/ the thing? it is not longer even remotely possible to own
a stake in the thing anymore.
mircea_popescu: to force
a comparison slighty : mergers and acquisitions in new york don't necessarily result in gold reserve trucks moving back and forth between ny and virginia or w/e.
pete_dushenski: just left davout
a comment on his blog re: 'line in sand'. we shall see.
mircea_popescu: except... OBVIOUSLY the proposition "internet weenie has
a girlfried" is to be judged as less likely than the proposition "internet weenie has
a girlfriend and her name is Samantha".
mircea_popescu: Experimental psychologists use two gold standards: probability theory, and decision theory. Since it is
a universal law of probability theory that P(
A) ≥ P(
A & B), the judgment P("Bill plays jazz") < P("Bill plays jazz" & "Bill is accountant") is labeled incorrect."
mircea_popescu: "Sometimes experimental psychologists uncover human reasoning that seems very strange - for example, someone rates the probability "Bill plays jazz" as less than the probability "Bill is an accountant who plays jazz". This seems like an odd judgment, since any particular jazz-playing accountant is obviously
a jazz player. But to what higher vantage point do we appeal in saying that the judgment is wrong?
mircea_popescu:
http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Sad_Puppies << in other lolz of all time, apparently the sort of expired carcasses / h ellison impersonators that go around writing bad genre prose heard about the 4chan time thing
a decade later and pulled
a moot of their own at hugo
punkman: assuming you/kako/davout would agree to such
a scheme
mircea_popescu: incidentally, and unrelatedly - what's the derp that put out
a purple prose challenge, got totally owned on trilema but then pretended it never happened have to say about teh alphago ?
punkman: they are all bad so far, but in
a good way
gribble: Error: "b" is not
a valid command.
mircea_popescu: i'd rather read early medieval poetry - and i've not done that in
a decade or more. no shortage of stuff to read.
mircea_popescu: i half-considered doing
a list of people anglosphere doesn't want listed, but meh.
mircea_popescu: other than lamestream which seems
a superb construction (didjha invent it bb ?), i have nfi what you ppl are saying!
BingoBoingo: Well next piece on qntra is about to mebbe drive him
a bit more traffic?
mircea_popescu: what exactly is the logic of keeping
a blog to feed dead tree book publishing business when
a) the publishing business is really trying to sell pdfs for 5 paypalbux and b) the blog is read by fewer people than ever heard of mike hearn ?!
mircea_popescu: "
a manual of female ownership". wasn't this guy living alone as
a hobo in the ghetto ?!
mike_c: and
a 'last' endpoint could just grab.. the last one. But whatever, not huge thing. it works.
ben_vulpes: does look from here as though there's some key from
a request to the action to be performed in the OTP url.
mike_c: unless you are sneaker-netting I don't see how making me go to
a different URL everytime helps anything
ben_vulpes: mike_c:
a bouncer is ~same work as scripting auth
pete_dushenski: then
a 'listunspent' would seem
a useful call function to bring to trb (it was in 0.7). unless there are other call functions that already do the same thing ?
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski typically crud like that goes for
a few hundred bucks, and is
a counter-signal.
trinque: phf: eh nevermind, found
a typo :p
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: we'll see if this 15 minutes of fame lasts longer than my stint as
a lord ;)
mircea_popescu: logging teh forum happens to be
a field where
a lot of interesting things can be done. right off the top of head : you familiar with pisg ? ; something like an interaction graph based on namecalling may be interesting.
mircea_popescu: fwiw, mthreat, the guy who was providing the search, actually did that as part of
a start-up that got sold off or spun off or w/e they do.
phf: which is just immediately next t-
a message by timestamp
mircea_popescu: phf i dun recall what you answered, will i be able to update log references in trilema with
a single sql statement ?
phf: right now the switch over between t-
a and b-
a happens at log entry 1440677, which is "mircea_popescu: and so, this is the end for this particular irc channel as
a venue for tmsr. ..."
trinque: deedbot will be back in
a moment
phf: ok, logs are at
a reasonable point, going to go for food and walk and then do
a deploy
mircea_popescu: tho honestly
a) i see no difference between "modernity" and "lazy stupidity" ; b) i see no clear reason high clock speeds are necessarily related to stupidity.
mircea_popescu: hey, i have no argument with the "dram is
a pain in the ass to do hands on stuff to"
mircea_popescu: through
a similar decision process as you propose, rats are not superior to cockroaches
