mircea_popescu: see alf, odds are i'll move to palo alto for a free raping and looting monthlong session, end up having to pay a parking fine. you however will go down for 775 consecutive life sentences of a crow + 412 consecutive life sentences of a parrot for being a criminal in your criminal ways that include nothing in particular.
mircea_popescu: this is the most scandalous thing i ever heard. ten thousand hollow posturings with imaginary criminals manufacturer out of derpy us teenagers won't wash this humiliation.
assbot: Logged on 18-02-2016 18:44:46; linton_s_dawson: I thought about what may improve the TMSR infrastructure and figured that the logs themselves are somewhat difficult to navigate. "Catching up" with the logs means reading through the whole conversation until you stumble upon what matters. I.e. "a new patch was proposed" or "MP uncovered the next scam in the making".
mircea_popescu: i feel so left out!
jurov: but hoepfully i'm learning from mircea how to project :D
danielpbarron: oh hm, I guess I need <br>s in the blockquote? Or is there an attribute to force it to respect line returns?
BingoBoingo: I'll mess with the html
linton_s_dawson: peterl, I agree
danielpbarron: the weirdness is that i put a block quote in a list item in an ordered list
punkman: I can see a summary subscription thing making some money eventually
danielpbarron: blockquote where? I see it in the correct place on my end
danielpbarron: no rush, and maybe you'll need to scold me for doing some strange things with html; I'm not sure what my limits are exactly

BingoBoingo: What, do people not believe me when I suggest I supplement the powers of the internet with broadcast radio?
shinohai: I should make a BitBet as to whether Donald Trumps sues Pope Francis over his comments today.
punkman: and seems I got about 0.58 for my one qntra article's worth of shares, not bad
punkman: asciilifeform: I was roped into it after kako and mp gifted me some bbet shares
danielpbarron: i think a dividend is more like a consolation prize
asciilifeform: i don't recall a qntra dividend .
danielpbarron: i didn't sell any of the shares i earned for writing
punkman: well I pay so I can "own" some shares, not to gamble
asciilifeform: i don't have to pay MONTHLY to ACCESS bitbet.
asciilifeform: punkman: understand, i will gamble once in a blue moon. but asking me to pay a MONTHLY subscription for access to a lottery machine, is lunacy.
danielpbarron: i don't really look at my coinbr unless i see a trade cross a new price
mats: i wonder what jurov's revenue looks like
asciilifeform: (and if you did, i'd be curious ~how~)
asciilifeform: or i can go to the street and burn a pyre of money. it is moar fun.
asciilifeform: and if i want to lose from my terminal, i can play dice.
asciilifeform: i can lose downstairs in the lottery machine.
asciilifeform: can't speak for others, but i call things that require daily sweat to keep from going to shit - 'jobs'. and i want ~fewer~ of these rather than moar.
asciilifeform: i do not need this for anything.
asciilifeform: i'ma guess it is few
asciilifeform: re: earlier thread, i often wonder what fraction of jurov's customers earn back the fee
trinque: I can get behind the notion that limiting it to one puts pressure on keeping the make system small.
trinque: there was a thread about the folder structure I produced
peterl: aha, I understand, just poking the bear
trinque: I may have some time to fiddle with that today.
asciilifeform: peterl: i only play with stacked decks
mircea_popescu: no but srsly... i tried to imagine little pancake faced people going "give it to me bish!" to little pancake faced people and nearly lost it.
asciilifeform: and if i vegas well, i can beat the house in vegas, ahaha
mircea_popescu: now i get chinese language viagra spam referencing the putative sexual prowess of black people from africa.
asciilifeform: peterl: why the FUCK would i let it MELT
asciilifeform: it is difficult to avoid having some coin, i occasionally take it ~in~ but - other than bitbet - have nothing on which to use it
mircea_popescu: lol i had no idea alf had coinz.
asciilifeform has 2 lamps on his dial: 'oh noez, my coinz are worthless' and 'suxx, i'll never afford any moar' ☟︎
adlai: this is apparently some point of pride for folks in the "the machine does everything, i just gave birth" crowd
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i disagree. it is directed at ~own head~ typically
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I'm serious. Cool things happen near the compact shelving and study cages because the undergrads wonder who the fuck goes there.
asciilifeform: 'This simple vulnerability is particularly alarming because; 1) it exists within a “security product” that is trusted to secure over a million homes; 2) it enables an attacker to completely own the system (i.e., disable it, change PIN codes, etc.), and; 3) many unsuspecting consumers prominently display window and yards signs promoting their use of this system…essentially self-identifyi
mircea_popescu: (i don't believe in teaching go. which is to say - i do not believe there is a single thing you can say to a new player whicfh provably does more good than bad.)
mircea_popescu: it's not necessarily a bad approach, i guess, but it doesn't make for a good player.
mircea_popescu: my understanding, quite rudimentary i admit, is that instead of iterating through all possible single-move changes to the board, the machine iterates through "all commonly seen cluster-level changes to the board".
adlai: the only possible hope I see for a surprise victory is if something qualitatively different happens once they seed the whole story with professional matches. the 'instance' (in the sense of (make-instance 'alphago), not in the sense of "machine") which beat Fan Hui was seeded off amateur games alone.
mircea_popescu: adlai i didn't get the idea alphago was a single instance.
adlai: mircea_popescu: as i understand it, 'alphago' is a system for training a go-move-scoring ANN against itself, from an initial seed of positions taken from human games. the product of this is a single instance which can play a game against a human, or itself, and "learn" - producing another instance of itself
mircea_popescu: adlai i dun follow ?
assbot: Logged on 18-02-2016 14:00:42; mircea_popescu: and there's a pile of observations to be had there, such as "the result of an aggregate is a woman ?!" and so on, but i'm too lazy.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-02-2016#1409548 << laugh, but as a schoolboy i wanted to build exactly this. even wrote lengthy treatise turd concerning it. even bought fpga (and then realized that i have no way to attach it to a board, 0.5mm pitch) ☝︎
cazalla: college cornflakes tahini though i dunno
mircea_popescu: when it occured tro me that if i put my cereal in there, i probably wouldn't have to chew it. and so i did, and wow, cereal-tahini-paste. wunderbar.
mircea_popescu: in better living through technologee news, i bought a juicer a while back, it came with a coffee grinder attachment which i never used. until a few days ago, that is
shinohai: not yet I'm afraid.
mircea_popescu: it works by computing clusters of stones over and over, best i can tell
mircea_popescu: and there's a pile of observations to be had there, such as "the result of an aggregate is a woman ?!" and so on, but i'm too lazy. ☟︎
shinohai: https://i.imgur.com/hZ7oxTd.jpg <<< condoms
cazalla: and clearly i really want to
cazalla: biological urge is to knock her up whether i really want it or not
cazalla: if it's purely to humilate and pwn her, i get it, but for ones own enjoyment, i don't see it, for myself anyway
cazalla: if you enjoy it, or others, idc, but never seen the appeal, as mentioned before, i was pressured into it and she cried lol
mircea_popescu: and i fucked at least a coupla that puked on a super-daily basis.
cazalla: mircea_popescu, what womens pukes from there on a daily basis? i sure as fuck don't want shit on my cock
mircea_popescu: cazalla you know i don't follow the logic of this. so no anal sex because she on occasion shits from there ? for one thing, if you want her to, she can banana from there, just stick one in. for the other thing - no oral sex either ? she pukes from there! you like puke more than shit ? what about normal hole, she bleeds from there not to mention babies from there. are you a pedo now because you fuck the baby hole ?
shinohai: "oh yeah, I guess you're right!" *bends over*
shinohai: I mean, ill use it on my gf sometimes when she says she is stressed?
assbot: Logged on 18-02-2016 13:27:57; mircea_popescu: i hear anal sex relaxes one.
assbot: Logged on 18-02-2016 05:05:29; phf: there are parts by the waterfront where on weekends you can see an assortment of underclasses and weirdos. mexicans fishing, blacks riding dirt bikes, white trash drinking. kind of cool, i'll take that anytime over the overdeveloped DC
cazalla: i guess it don't matter anyway
cazalla: nah, you'd have to kill me before i'd submit to that
cazalla: cock being the most pressure thing i have
mircea_popescu: i hear anal sex relaxes one. ☟︎
cazalla: i've gone as far as a ct coronary angiogram.. nothing
cazalla: well, this has interfered with my life for the past 10 years, but one develops coping mechanisms because one has no choice, other hten to top oneself, which i am not too keen on
cazalla: well, i don't, other than i'm not
cazalla: but i am not
cazalla: well, they claim i am schizo
cazalla: i can't find the dpaste, but i posted my symptoms in here before
mircea_popescu: but ftr, as i said on trilema : obscure autoimmune problems are both rare and obvious in tissue sample.
cazalla: only reason i've pursued these idiot as far as i have
cazalla: but if it were to happen, well, at least i'd like to know it's coming
cazalla: i've already passed the point where if i drop dead tomorrow from whatever it is, so be it
cazalla: but coming back with mental illness doesn't really help or explain anything, i am clearly sane
assbot: Logged on 18-02-2016 04:57:27; phf: i think philadelphia as a whole is a particularly painful monument to america's past.
cazalla_: although tbh i never tried to go offshore, but i figure they dont let people with convictions in despite no prison time
cazalla_: not that i'd visit (or leave the confines of the shores from down under)
cazalla_: tbh, i just wanna fight
cazalla_: well punkman, i've had an mri of my head, neck, cat of head, nothing
mircea_popescu: i had no idea you had winter in ozland. when did that get imported ?
cazalla_: i dunno what is wrong with my health though
cazalla_: everyone i encounter is stupid
mircea_popescu: i'm just being an asshole.
