mircea_popescu: which is
a cheap heuristic and likely to beat
a good chunk of players.
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.
assbot: The all-American asshole, in his own words, with my own notes on Trilema -
A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... (

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

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.
assbot: Logged on 18-02-2016 13:54:45; mircea_popescu: the inconvenient truth of the matter is that there isn't enough hope to go around to everyone ; and moreover that intelligence per se is
a miserable predictor for this.
cazalla: got
a juicer, some korean slow motor shit
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
mircea_popescu: peterl thinking the thing maintains
a huge rainbow table of games is not useful. the thing about go is that it has too many possible positions.

a favour and step outside. everything. all of you.
cazalla: shinohai, aint you never heard of the glove in
a tube between the bed trick, chicken breast wtf
mircea_popescu: it's true that [
a certain subset of parents] treats their kids intelligence as
a sort of surogate beauty/athletic promise/musical talent,
mircea_popescu: the inconvenient truth of the matter is that there isn't enough hope to go around to everyone ; and moreover that intelligence per se is

☟︎ 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 ?
assbot: Logged on 18-02-2016 05:37:42; kuzetsa: oooh, less than
a month ago ok
mircea_popescu: so there's your tailor made placebo. every time you get the problem, tell yourself that if it keeps going you're going to have anal sex with
a black dude as
a cure.
cazalla: sure as fuck not sticking it in such
a shitty place
cazalla: i've gone as far as
a ct coronary angiogram.. nothing
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_: asian waifu more
a copypaste sorta thing
assbot: Logged on 18-02-2016 04:28:05; BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Not

cazalla_: no, found
a dead body or 2 though
cazalla_: white blood cells up, then back to normal,
a few times
cazalla_: mircea_popescui don't drink shit these days, i've had
a bottle of port tonight, but this is
a first for months
mircea_popescu: cazalla_ is all depressed, drinks lots, considers offing self, stumbles through various internet hate sites, ends up in b-
a,
a year later is head of major btc business, has quit drinking, is all optimistic, decides that internet is not irl, moves on to irl, six months later is depressed, drinks heavily, discusses suicide.
mircea_popescu: this was obvious to anyone who isn't mentally retarded by virtue of being born out of the union of
a lazy man and
a stupid cow, like every single argentine.
cazalla_: my fault for being stupid enough to figure someone mature enough to think topping yourself is
a reasonable thought though
mircea_popescu: in other lulz of all time : new argentine govt negotiated
a deal with the agros : govt lets dollar go ; agros stop hoarding and sell. the govt let the dollar go. however, for all its posturing, the buenos aires black market turned out to be relatively powerless in face of this, and so from
a 8.5 official / 14.0 black market, the liberalised dollar settled at 13.5.
cazalla_: fucking idiots called
a CAT (crisis assesment team) on me the other day because hey, if you're not enthusiastic to work shitty jobs to buy coke, watch blah blah housewives on tv and want to pay top dollar for plastic shit out of china, well, ya mentally ill
cazalla_: meh, i am just angry as i let my guard down the other day and mentioned to someone that considering suicide is
a logical and rational thought in this day and age
cazalla_: had
a few, so you know, wine, truth lol
cazalla_: evening, composing
a comment bitching on trilema.com in the meantime
assbot: Logged on 18-02-2016 03:25:09; mircea_popescu: omfg trinque is en route to becoming
a prophet.
adlai: B is better than
A because it'd make black's territory larger if black played, whereas
A is basically
a wasted move for black
danielpbarron: well i'll probably unrate in
a year next time i'm cleaning names out, unless she comes back in the interim
danielpbarron: the losers can complain about this.. and maybe they'll catch
a beating for it
kuzetsa: it's
a philisophical / societal / institutional construct, and not legitimate in any way
kuzetsa: that's not
a thing I believe in
kuzetsa: Genesis 19:26 ~~ But Lot's wife looked back. When she did, she became
a pillar made out of salt. <<< like I said, inconsiderate, I can't hardly undersatand the idea of natural disaster being an act of god, and for something as innocent as looking over your shoulder to be cause for death is p much overkill no matter who you are (deity or otherwise)
kuzetsa: IDK, the poetry sections of scripture aren't easy for me to take literal in
a serious way
kuzetsa: well that's awfully inconsiderate of
a deity
kuzetsa: "always carry
a shovel and be sure to use it to bury your poo so god doesn't step in it" <<< any translation you want is fine, that's my own paraphrase (I compared several translations for this particular passage, and the meaning is always the same)
kuzetsa: lack of
a modern sense of sanitation wasn't the cause, it was god being angry
kuzetsa: Deuteronomy 23:14-15 ~~ always carry
a shovel and be sure to use it to bury your poo so god doesn't step in it ... if taken literally, I'm thinking at best the understanding of germ theory wasn't going to be around for over
a thousand years so the beliefs were genuinely held, though not literal
danielpbarron: you got any money on sanders to win? there's
a bitbet!
kuzetsa: my political views are frowned upon in here by
a few people (at times, loudly)
kuzetsa: danielpbarron: one of the main reasons I didn't seek to figure out why I could no longer !up is because I'm legitimately
a left-wing democratic socialist and knew who bernie sanders was before he announced the POTUS run
adlai: kuzetsa: ahh, i don't have
a point.
adlai: some professions employ jargon, and there's
a reason for it
kuzetsa: I don't know what
a darc is, and parenths don't bother me either way
adlai: kuzetsa: don't take this the wrong way, but you may find the logs interesting for
a month or six of logged-time. will save you lots of questions, such as "why all the parens" or "did you really need to write your own darcs"
assbot: Logged on 17-02-2016 20:56:36; asciilifeform: which opens up
a rowhammer-like attack vector.
assbot: Logged on 27-01-2016 02:52:19; mircea_popescu: what happened is - we used gribble wot. then gribbe was offline unexpectedly, and its maintainer wasn't talking. he was traveling at the time, as we later found out. nevertheless, for those few days the situation was indistinguishable from an attack and so we made
a replacement.
adlai: it should just be
a bunch of nested plists
kuzetsa: <an op or two who uprated me> ~ specifically I mean #bitcoin-otc and #bitcoin ones... at some point I think people in here had
a falling out with them

phf: i agree though, i like that philly is
a no mans land, since there's no developers or Control or particularly strong presence of usg.
pete_dushenski: phf: trust me when i saw that it's even worse when the arivistes come rampaging through town in
a flurry of nownownow-ism and tear the whole lot down right before your eyes.
pete_dushenski: but with no economic pressure to tear down those monuments in philly, they're not going anywhere either. and good bones on
a city can always find new uses, even if there are fits and starts between 'ideal' (ie. high cultural) uses.
phf: i think philadelphia as
a whole is
a particularly painful monument to america's past.
☟︎ adlai used this library primarily as dvd rental, preparing his blog's filler material
a decade in advance
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: no such thing as waste in
a personal library
adlai: BingoBoingo: flashbacks, to days scanning barcodes in
a lawfirm 'library' off the P3 (that's three floors, in the parking direction)
