trinque: it also seems to suggest that mind-amplification is
a much nearer goal than AI, as the brain's own ability to handle new inputs can be leaned upon
trinque: the above doesn't seem to bode well for having
a model of cognition any time soon
trinque: this leads to being able to wire visual inputs into the tongue, and having the brain eventually learn to make
a picture from this
☟︎ trinque: I have
a friend in prosthetics who once explained at length to me that the brain doesn't begin knowing how to see, smell, etc

a terrifyingly accurate representation of meat-based life, i fear
assbot: Logged on 26-01-2016 17:20:06; ascii_butugychag: (there was
a spiffy talk at shmoo, which mentioned how nn used in image recognition usually imprints on what - to
a human - would be an entirely accidental cluster of pixels, and if you flip'em, it will recognize an obvious, e.g,. cat, as
a refrigerator, etc)
thestringpuller: i have
a feeling same was said when deep blue beat kasparov...
thestringpuller: yea.
a lot of selling pressure recently. i think node blockchain survived I'll see when it tried to load the index tonight. definitely going to back this thing up daily...
nubbins`: investors apparently took the pronouncement as
a sign of things... not being quite well.
nubbins`: cool, he wrote
a whole article about me on trilema!
mircea_popescu: mircea_popescu> and more importantly, because once expressed the current situation becomes tolerable << INtolerable, obviously. and in all fields. much like
a smoky kitchen wall is tolerable for just as long as you don't see any actual white stuff for contrast. but bring in
a new stove, suddenly the wall needs
a paintjob too.
mircea_popescu: bitcoin, in any proper sense, means the republic, and the wot, and the forum, and so on. and similarly "cryptography" means "
a bunch of derps on usenet" much in the same way space flight means chimps with monkeys. yes, the inclination to see inanimate objects fly is the same in both animals.
mircea_popescu: "bitcoin" in the sense of
a collection of (whitepaper by satoshi, 2-3 shitty mutually exclusive prototypes by satoshi, even shittier code in prb) is much like "russia" in the sense of "the kiev kingdom".
mircea_popescu: oh, more radio stations ? great, now the cars are all designed by imbeciles for imbeciles. let's make more houses in autocad! this is how
a city looks!
mircea_popescu: this is
a major problem, at least to my eyes. it was just as large, if not nearly as expressible, before the age of bitcoin. by which, to be perfectly specific, i do not mean satoshi crapolade. i mean bitcoinb as in tmsr, and wot and ba and such.
assbot: Logged on 09-03-2016 13:33:19; *: mircea_popescu is incredibly fucking glad he never gave in to the temptation as
a child, and systematically never regarded go as anything above or beyond parlor trick to entertain oneself with teh nude houri postcoitally, in spite of perhaps reasonable and well reasoned arguments to the contrary.

☟︎ assbot: Logged on 09-03-2016 13:26:24; nubbins`: more like "case 2: the shop pays
a cleaner once
a month to clean rugs. random asshole thought the rug cleaners weren't coming so he paid
a second rug cleaning service to clean the rugs. then the regular rug cleaners came and cleaned the rug again. then random asshole tries to bill the shop for
a needless rug cleaning that he ordered himself"

☟︎ mircea_popescu: "I don’t regret accepting this challenge," said Lee. "I am in shock, I admit that, but what's done is done. I enjoyed this game and look forward to the next. I think I failed on the opening layout so if I do
a better job on the opening aspect I think I will be able to increase my probability of winning."
mircea_popescu: "I was very surprised," said Lee after the match. "I didn't expect to lose. I didn't think AlphaGo would play the game in such
a perfect manner.

http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-03-2016#1427413 << my brother was once
a game programmer, for
a co. that has died many years ago, and they had the contract of producing the 'official' mtg client. he had to learn the rules of the game, with much loathing, and play it for year+ straigh, all day, every day, with loathing, possibly more hours than just about anyone alive
punkman:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-03-2016#1427481 I remember the official client was impossibly clunky and annoying when I used it. Must have been an epic quest to cover all the edge cases in the game's rules. "Apprentice" was kinda cool, just gave you
a tabletop and you had to manually make all the moves.
☝︎ fluffypony: I generally agree with the "don't be
a giant douchenozzle" principle, and as long as employees are operating in any capacity representing one of my companies they don't have permission to be
a giant douchenozzle on my behalf (what they do in their own time and of their own volition I don't care about)
fluffypony: BingoBoingo: we signed it by show of hands - it was just
a commitment to encourage tolerance and respect in the ecosystem, and if any of our employees overstep that we will reprimand them

a raw tx manipulator for trb is prolly
a very useful item, really.
trinque: if only it were possible to select the transactions referencing
a given address whose outputs are referenced by no other transaction's inputs
trinque: then the balance goes to -0.0002 (fee + deed spend) so I smell
a floating point fuckup
trinque: I also had to lower
a constant which didn't seem worth its own vpatch
pete_dushenski: were you importing into wallets that already had
a balance ? just trying to understand the boundaries of this phenomenon

BingoBoingo: Seriously picking up
a reciprocating saw was
a great move.
BingoBoingo: Eh. Maybe I'm just confused. Today was
a good day so brain exhausted.
adlai: it's helpful for people who have never actually played go but the 9p (lighter suit, who does most of the talking) is
a little wasted, explaining these most basic things
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> and whats with the derps walking hunched in front of the camera << It's
a common reflex among people who don't grok how cameras work in relation to their body.
mircea_popescu: are we going to see
a line from sea to sea before this is done ?
mircea_popescu: also why is googlebot playing like
a fucking housewife.

A bit watery as is the 13th tradition
nubbins`: and, if you'll take
a look at
a map of north america, twodogland is very, very far away from major shipping hubs
kakobrekla: they also arent comparable in
a sense not having full mempools in 2013 and having full mempools in 2016.
nubbins`: danielpbarron her statement doesn't contain the qualifiers you mention -- by my understanding of english syntax, she's making
a blanket statement.
danielpbarron: also from that thread >> If
a couple of pools were interested in bobbaing up MP's reputation, they could start taking longer to include transactions into blocks if bitbet addresses are involved. Just take care to not wait for way too many blocks, otherwise the pool's reputation get fucked.
nubbins`: At any rate, this isn't
a chastisement. If you fuck up to this degree, you're stuck having fucked up.
nubbins`: also from the mouth of hanbot: "You weren't caught in some occult and unknowable coincidence that was out of your hands. You either didn't make sure you understood the basics of using bitcoin, or else you decided not to care. In either case, it is you that will have to adjust (and I do earnestly hope that you do; there are
a lot of resources on this very forum, on IRC, and around the web that can help)."
nubbins`: from the mouth of hanbot : "Failing to use tx fees is mooching. Using
a (notoriously inept) "service" that fails to use tx fees is also mooching."
mircea_popescu: palantir may be above elon musk, but the whole thing is
a "youth communist movement" side project.

gribble: Error: "later_tell" is not
a valid command.

a dr. forehead but better at bleeding cash
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Do you have anything in particular that you would care to see translated, ideally something that isn't literal poetry? Yeah I've only just started picking RO up, so it would probably be
a slow process..
mircea_popescu: hehehe. so go for it. but note that the guy was
a native speaker. trilema, and especially ro trilema, is incredibly tense. in fact i do not believe harder source text exists in the whole 2k year history of the place.
mircea_popescu: which is why addition is
a public matter and faith, not.
mircea_popescu: williamdunne> Are people working on translating old Trilema articles from Romanian? << there was
a guy, gabrielradio, did some so-so work. it is HARD.
mircea_popescu: the whole incident is certainly
a fine example of why b-
a and the world generally can't work as
a "mp supported" thing. gotta be very expensive to be
a lord, or else self-flattery is much to powerful
a force.
mircea_popescu: then that bizarre theory got put to the test and it broke like
a bridge made out of rickety reeds and now the unspeakable happened, and there is the mirror and oh god the horror.
mircea_popescu: hanbot nubbins` is just doing his trademark low hanging fruit thing, "what's the lowest effort thing i could possibly do to maintain the pretense i'm doing something". that's his coping mechanism with life, it "worked pretty well" or whatever, it's what he knows, it's what he does. there's
a whole stack of these idiots running around like pointless chickens, i dunno that much need be explained.
hanbot: so mircea_popescu do you suppose these people were hacked or something, ie some kinda inept Chinese-PR? even without nubbins` meltdown, you have PeterL, the ex-mildmannered professional chemist with
a family, going
