trinque: douchebag: if you're wondering for
the girls, pubkey ass
tattoo is
totally feasible
trinque: douchebag: I forget
the actual limit, but can always break it up into multiple

this lambasting
tone!

this is a problem of how you phrase your questions. see,
the fundamental, and apparently enduring, cockroach here is
that you have an "in-control" mental model you won't diverge from, and it is disabling for your mental process in
the following way : you judge "you can't contribute" arbitrarily, and damagingly, in
the exact sense contemplated in

the whole
thing is phrased as "asking questions". one can never be in a rabbit hole so deep
they can't ask questions. it's not your job
to make any determination, so why stress.

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-11#1796265 <-- hey, no stress at all, I (out of curiosity) explored
the verification $thing down
to
the 2nd level of "rabbit hole" and found nothing
there worth being scrutinized. going deeper might reveal some questions, but I'm not gonna go sharpen
the machete for "crypto protocols" jungle just
to get
there.
☝︎ spyked: yeah, zappa is famous among others for having written some of
the "most difficult
to interpret songs ever". he
then started arranging for sequenced instruments (e.g. synclavier), which rendered
the whole idea of "difficult
to interpret" useless. e.g.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSAd6pC633A (late? baroque compositions arranged for synclavier)
shinohai: Ye fucked
their asses all out
the first 2
times I woulda have
thought.
mircea_popescu: someone should do a complete zappa colection, incidentally. he's one of
the few worthy of
the naggum
treatment.
spyked: the more civilized (i.e. fulla overeducated shitheads,
to quote zappa)
the country,
the greater
the fury.
spyked: at some point I should write about how I stumbled upon Loper OS and got pissed off at all computing and started reading
the (at
the
time #b-a) logs. spoiler alert: I was not in ro at
the
time, but stuck in "civilized" country, which made me even more furious.
spyked: owow,
that was 2016.
took me a year
to /join. :\
douchebag: mircea_popescu is
the man who handles
that
saturn_: im here
to show my
tits hehe
trinque: mircea_popescu: still doesn't want
to
talk
to me on either
mircea_popescu: read
the logs,
too. a lot of better stuff
than just hodling.
mircea_popescu: well, proxies went away recently ; working on getting some back for
teh ppls.
maximian: after S.DICE, I just went into HODL mode and have been mostly enjoying
the runup in BTC price
maximian: so I’ve been out of
the loop for a long
time
lobbes: Re: process restarter, I ended up using a method
trinque suggested (in logs somewhere but no
time
to dig): essentially
the bot gets started as a child process
to
the parent proccess
mircea_popescu: no such
thing can exist, on either score, and for
the same reasons.
mircea_popescu: ely equivalent
to "let an ultralarge integer be defined as
that integer which is larger
than all irrational numbers."
mircea_popescu: but since i've mentioned good, let it be stated
that "Let an ultraintelligent machine be defined as a machine
that can far surpass all
the intellectual activities of any man however clever. Since
the design of machines is one of
these intellectual activities, an ultraintelligent machine could design even better machines;
there would
then unquestionably be an 'intelligence explosion,'" is a self-contradictory definition, entir
shinohai: I seem
to have acquired a fan
that likes pinging it
to death or something. Got
to read logs deeper
ben_vulpes: shinohai: why does it go down,
typicallY/
shinohai: In fact, I was
the one
that recommended a solution
to lobbes, re: process restarting.
shinohai: Don't want
to use process restarter on
this box ben_vulpes ... if it goes down I'd rather know why. I don't really
trust atlantic anymore
tbh
mircea_popescu: we spit on laptopism for some reason we spit on motherhood :
to avoid naive heyleeecxen from getting stuck in
the glue
trap.
mircea_popescu: i have special electrics installed in cars
to power laptops.
shinohai: shinohai plans on doing same
things he always does anyway, with or without here.
shinohai: I dont want
to bring
the old bot back
tbh, new one isn't finished. But will log into shell and restart for
the 500th
time shortly
shinohai: got
the Signstek
TL866CS so I assume will work
mircea_popescu: obviously,
the fiction wank is just
the same item cycled. but
there was a. .. science-fashionabilia in
the 80s.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you recall,
the
thing
that got all
the inept "science" press hot and bothered in
the 80s, and nosnense such as hal 9000 / space odissey etc (ie,
the first iteration of "lesswrong" wankery) was a demonstration by sussman & goode
that "you can have artificial brains growing in
the same way as real ones", ie, neural networks
that algorithmically expand
shinohai: ah kk, I have opportunity
to purchase new equipment ... would like an arm device
to gentoo
mircea_popescu: anyway, anyone wrote a good post mortem for
the self-replicating neural network ? i mean, hal 9000 and all
that bs, iue fictional retellings. but
the actual story ? no interest among
the science-fiction set ?
BingoBoingo: I see no need at present. I just imagine ways
the board could be pimped. Since it lacks rtc clock, why not go for great rtc clock in Rockchip workstation spec.
mircea_popescu: i suppose i should have used minsky instead, sussman is a) still extant and b) kinda moved away from ai in
the idyllic sense
towards more practical applications IE SOLD OUT!
mircea_popescu: had sussman known how
to make an ai in
the first place.
mircea_popescu: by now
this is an epic machine, are you kidding me, all sussman would have needed
to make an ai
mircea_popescu: yeah
this is pretty interesting. should prolly fg
the set.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: But unlike
the rest, it managed
to pass several rounds of
the alf sniff
test
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> in other noose, asciilifeform found
that FG connects
to rockchiptron with 10cent straight cable, sans usb << Rockchip workstation just became a lot more interesting
BingoBoingo: If someone want's
to write up
the failure, may be publishable, but I've got no angle for it other
than repeating "stop hitting yourself"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform my
thoughts exactly.
the swarm of idiots use non-qntra "press", get reality winnings, non-nsa entropy, get etc.
mircea_popescu: sometimes i wonder how #trilema actually reads from
the other side. "i'm a confused girly with adolescent
tits and a pretty smile, did
they just
tell me
to go hang naked by
the highway ?!?!"
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
These are blockchain.info style
things where
they market "all
the crypto happens in your browser window"
heyleeecx: well
thanks for all
the advice but i have
to run
ttyl
mircea_popescu: "* don't
take
the output of a CSPRNG and pass it
through RC4" should have been "don't whiten, fucktard"
BingoBoingo: The lulz are all in
that first sentence: "A significant number of past and current cryptocurrency products contain a JavaScript class named SecureRandom(), containing both entropy collection and a PRNG."
BingoBoingo: Anyways, fear of going
to jail is a sign of already being in jail
mircea_popescu: anyway,
there's just enough
time left before
the middle class extinction event
that by
the
time you're coming out,
the mass rape of all your sisters
that "knew better" would just be getting underway. maybe you can even help one or
two.
heyleeecx: i dont want
to go
to jail for being a hooker
mircea_popescu: no. i am saying get over yourself, be a
truckstop hooker for a few years until
the middle class is washed out of your hair,
then do what can be done.
mircea_popescu: there's no such
thing, as
there never was such a
thing.
mircea_popescu: heyleeecx
this whole "something i'm good at" is fairytale dust,
they
took
the "prince charming" item and
translated it for
the "empowered, hear her roar" girly. now you gotta find a prince-charming-thingtodo ? gimme a break.
