trinque: who gives
a shit what he had in his life?
mircea_popescu: i can't think of
a time this was the case, in either the old country or the america.
assbot: Logged on 24-02-2016 11:09:02; punkman: "The FTC provided
a copy of an originally sealed document that outlined the spending it said was cause for concern. It said Butterfly Labs’ funds had been spent at stores “including Nordstrom, Bed, Bath, & Beyond, Restoration Hardware, and Hobby Lobby” as well as for “massages, auto maintenance, day care services, gun stores, hunting stores and sporting event tickets.”"
mircea_popescu: america is
a country of john smith and carnegey and marx and lacan.
mircea_popescu: their equivalents in
a previous century were using the "magic stones" to read "reformed egyptian". and there is EXACTLY no difference between john smith the mormon and lacan the postmodernist. they're EXACTLY the same "ideal american"
mircea_popescu: i'd prefer it be
a word, but can live with dword. i CAN NOT live with "extensible symbol space".
mircea_popescu: all i care about is that there's
a specified maximum DEFINITIVE count of symbols,
mircea_popescu: and absent
a better idea, my concept that you can't possibily have more than 255-27-10 actual tools seems quite meritous.
mircea_popescu: bitcoin should have been implemented as
a solution to pdp timesharing problems.
mircea_popescu: and of course !bills returns you
a list of stored bills.
mircea_popescu: then whoever wants to be paid goes !bill asciilifeform 10.56546 "had
a nice time last night honey"
mircea_popescu: by having [hopefully as an extension of assbot]
a payment interface in chan.
mircea_popescu: but mebbe you overlooked the part where to initiate
a caching, one has to either be in the L or pay.
assbot: Logged on 24-02-2016 08:55:55; punkman: the cool part is that it handles
a lot of crap gracefully, kills stupid overlays over content, it goes behind paywalls, etc.
punkman: also saw
a mention of antminer at 250w for around 4 terrahash
mircea_popescu: Malini Mithal << at first sight one thinks what the indian supreme court thinks about patents is irrelevant to the us. at second sight one tries to recall
a usg lawyer that's not indian and chuckles to himself.
mircea_popescu: punkman well, the cool part depending for whom doing what. i have no objection, all that sugar&spice is nice to have, but i don't think it mandatory, myself. the main utility is creating
a copy of
a resource (as in url) that is outside of the control of its original author. i'm more than happy if that is provided in the first place and the rest of the swag on
a best-effort basis.
punkman: "We went to court without notifying the other party … because we were concerned about
a dissipation of assets,” said Malini Mithal, assistant director of the FTC’s division of financial practices. “We were worried about seeing corporate funds go to Nordstrom, Bed Bath & Beyond, gun stores and things like that."
punkman: "The FTC provided
a copy of an originally sealed document that outlined the spending it said was cause for concern. It said Butterfly Labs’ funds had been spent at stores “including Nordstrom, Bed, Bath, & Beyond, Restoration Hardware, and Hobby Lobby” as well as for “massages, auto maintenance, day care services, gun stores, hunting stores and sporting event tickets.”"
☟︎ punkman: late delivery of BFL lulz: "At one point, an FTC attorney carried into court
a foam pitchfork that was stamped with the phrases “Y U NO SHIP!” and “BFL is late!” The agency said the pitchfork and similar foam torches were found at Butterfly Labs and mocked its customers’ complaints."
punkman: the cool part is that it handles
a lot of crap gracefully, kills stupid overlays over content, it goes behind paywalls, etc.
☟︎ punkman: "mircea_popescu: however
a lot of leeway is available re shitty sites. i honestly couldn't care less what "functionality" is lost through js being discarded out of hand, for instance. << archive.is (as
a browsing tool) seems useless without javascript, might as well render the page in lynx/dilla/modern browser with js disabled.
mod6: is there such
a thing as adhd in china? if
a kid just wont do stuff or doesn't pay attention they just hit you with
a stick no?
mod6: is that going to drop every tweet into
a deed?
danielpbarron: >> I told him that
a child in Africa dies every 3 seconds. He was surprised at that. He said "I know black people have rhythm, but that is some amazing timing, you guys should try out for X-Factor".
mod6: I think they used to teach this SICP directly as the first programming class at UofM - used it as
a weed-out course.
mod6: Snarf: ``To grab, especially
a large document or file for the purpose of using it either with or without the owner's permission.'' Snarf down: ``To snarf, sometimes with the connotation of absorbing, processing, or understanding.'' (These definitions were snarfed from Steele et al. 1983. See also Raymond 1993.)
mod6: She asked me if "snarffed" was
a technical term, now I can point at this:
mircea_popescu predicts that by the time he's dead, b-
a will be bigger than fucking france.
mod6: im actually glad for that. and personally, I don't even want to look at any other lisp really because other lisps seem to have
a bunch more built-in functions that we'll basically not use.
phf: mod6: i have an OP for symbol-value, on top of which you can build
a pretty decent "apropos"
mod6: or do we need to write
a proc for that too?
phf: mod6: no, i think it's
a side effect of the way oblist is constructed
mod6: so in "foo.scm" i have defined
a "square" procedure, but in (oblist), among everything else, its listed as: (square char-ci>=? cddddr expt)
mircea_popescu: mod6 it's definitely possible ; ideally it'd come after
a proper data model for the data.
mod6: ok, so that's
a possible whole replacement piece, sure. was just thinking is it worth possibly making
a temporary tool for this until bitcoinfs? or just wait and do bitcoinfs.
mircea_popescu: for one thing, linux managed to implement journaling in such
a way it barely works
phf: i'm not at all hating, it's more of
a "
a plague on both your houses" reaction
mod6: qq: Can something be developed to help these guys with the corrupted databases when they get
a hard-reboot?perhaps something similar to cutblock that will say lopp off the last blk####.dat file or something? is this worth looking into?
phf: past first paragraph is bogus, fat girls don't act like that in clubs, that's just an overactive imagination. what they actually do is pick up leftovers, or particularly drunk guys who were attracted by the group. it's literally
a scavenger strategy, and being obnoxious will ensure that the girl is never again invited with her hotter friends. (they want to get fucked too, jeez)
mircea_popescu: omfg alf sees the world like
a bee-dog : in black and white and all pixelated.
☟︎☟︎ mod6: i'll test that out tomorrow when i get
a sec.
mircea_popescu: but the thing IS fascinating. noticed it on okcupid back in the day,
a small but present chunk of derps actually used group photos consisting of HOTTER WOMEN
mircea_popescu: strategically i'd rather have it
a set of interoperating parts than
a single monster monolith.
phf: we can add archive/logs/patches to
a single lisp project, call it assetbook and we won't need any other internet anymore
mircea_popescu: phf it ~would~ be
a pretty decent showcase of lisp, i'll readily grant that.
phf: "can't have our thing, but here's
a link to
a chrome extension that does nothing like what we do. run along now"
mircea_popescu: however
a lot of leeway is available re shitty sites. i honestly couldn't care less what "functionality" is lost through js being discarded out of hand, for instance.
phf: i think ben_vulpes has been working on his own take on the service? i remember there was some noise last time question came up. anyone attempting will fast realize that it's
a pita.
phf: no, i know
a few russian living in netherlands, and they all fall under kind of
a similar stereotype
phf: person: Shevchenko Andrey address: Tussen de Bogen 6, 1013 JB Amsterdam, The Netherlands , hehe just the kind of person to run
a service like that..
danielpbarron: the main page would load, but when i tried to archive something that's where it would go to
a new ip
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron was it earlier ? i actually just loaded
a page, worked fine, minutes later bupkiss
phf: i have some lisp code to do what archive.is does from back when i was reading everything from kindle, but it'll take
a few weeks for me to get it into
a running service state..
mircea_popescu: aaand archive.is changed ip. for shame. anyone willing to run
a b-
a fork of the thing ?
phf: but you can pretty print it with
a real lisp
pete_dushenski: "when i, professor bahamas, said that there was
a red line that shall not be crossed in syria or else i'd put boots on the ground, i forgot to mention that there was an asterix associated with that statement that nullified its supposed consequence if it turned out that i wasn't
a taller, darker napolean after all."
pete_dushenski: i'd be pleasantly surprised if contravex isn't even at the lower end of that largest vocab list. ~15k different words over
a two year and ~450k published word lifetime ? sounds optimistic, but until mircea_popescu shares secret recipe, hard to say given that other 'solutions' seem to be nothing but paid scamware.
assbot: Logged on 23-02-2016 21:17:59; mod6: i'll try that. (im just playing with tinyscheme on its own, outside of shiva/bitcoin) -- figure its
a good idea to use THIS interpreter as opposed to some other one/lisp.
mod6: is there
a way to see what procedures are currently loaded into the construct?
shinohai sheds
a tear for danielpbarron 's chicken-n-rice
danielpbarron: also lost
a lunch out of it as it went out in the middle of my rice and chicken cooking
mod6: i'll try that. (im just playing with tinyscheme on its own, outside of shiva/bitcoin) -- figure its

☟︎ assbot: Successfully added
a rating of 2 for Gaxaro with note: Euloran noob; paid back
a 300k loan in
a timely fashion
mod6: so if i wanna
a bunch of scheme code in
a file and then load that file into the interpreter so I have my procedures defined without having to type them all in... how do I do that?
