mircea_popescu: "things better left unsaid", stuff like La France being
a lot more
a creation of militant, government-bombing activism than christianity. and so on.

a to surrender .....
mod6: im about to do this, just
a sec.
mod6: just one press at
a time. choose
a new output dir to ensure clean press.
BingoBoingo: But I mean to get the next head do you just repeat pressing with
a different head or???
mod6: <+BingoBoingo> So do you press head, press other head, etc or something else << no, you can just up through
a given vpatch in the flow.
mod6: it does
a single head.
mod6: i can throw those in there. just
a moment
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> in general people should be able to make their own decision based on keys, rather than pile up on you to review neh ? << i don't see
a problem with doing it this way.
BingoBoingo: So do I need to unpack
a source Bitcoin tarball anywhere special?
mod6: after this, you should be able to press out
a new trb that includes the latest patches, then build from there.
mod6: you should be able to drop those patches into your patches directory for V, and then also put the seals in your seals dir -- once that's complete doing `./v.pl f` should show you
a flow with those patches in there with 'asciilifeform' as the signatory.

mircea_popescu: "wavelength as
a second parameter photons" ahahahaha omfg.
mircea_popescu: if the company you manage behaves as an approximation of
a cockroach, your wife needs
a divorce.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: it's the equivalent of
a bug going "oh hey, there's some food here. how come ? i didn't put it there ? well... i guess i'll just have some,w hat's the worst that can happen".
BingoBoingo: Nah, Just getting myself to
a solid two or so hour uptime with storm season approaching.

mircea_popescu: kakobrekla oh wait, different coin-derps ?
a well. there goes
a good laugh.
mircea_popescu: hey "coinbase" - most LOSERS manage
a better acquihire after FIVE YEARS. grow beards already, start entertaining at the metro let out.

a loose knit federated system that's entirely outside of your control. even if you do dcc it's plaintext on the wire
thestringpuller: then the guy goes off in PM how trinque censored him, when literally none of the lines he said had any value. it's like
a hobo wandering in talking craziness...
thestringpuller: I'm actually in favor of them attempting
a hard fork cause it provides war profiteering opportunities.
shinohai: Heh France. And he comes asking #b-

☟︎ Quent: you in between
a rock and
a hardplace
Quent: I have
a suggestion
Quent: oh... well... you hardly have
a choice to make lol
Quent: thanks - looks like la serene republic finds itself between
a rock and
a hard place

a beat you can't just mention diff increase in chan without dropping an encrypted dpaste full of qntra submission.

☟︎ adlai: if you're worried about metadata, encrypt your trolling or start
a shill or two, it pays for itself in elizatherapy
adlai: or maybe at least get
a table
copypaste: (It's also possible that the IRCop made
a mistake and removed the KLine.)
copypaste: And in the case of IRCCloud, is probably
a USG front. So of course connecting at all costs is important.
copypaste: Which is
a web service that allows people to connect to IRC, similar to CGI:IRC and qwebirc
ascii_butugychag vaguely recalls an obituaty of some #b-
a old-timer in... 2012 ?
mircea_popescu: well, they're 10 cents
a pop since teh torrents, seeing how they weren't made by dosney.
mircea_popescu: what, we're going to have
a franklin vs baez dispute now ?
mircea_popescu: "Hippies' marijuana and hallucinogens had interesting outputs; slums' opiates, crack, and crystal meth less so." << yeah, because you apriorily decided you wish to fuck
a hippie chick not
a filipina brothel slave. that's all.
ascii_butugychag: (note that the proofs don't need to be about
a commonlisp program per se, but anything that can be expressed as one)
mircea_popescu: "
a universal scale-free recipe for fitting together" << and yet he hates obama.
mircea_popescu: honestly, i always suspected randomness is not merely "not
a property of numbers", but altogether not
a thing.
mircea_popescu: The noise that was observed as random structure was not itself random. It contained topological order,
a universal scale-free recipe for fitting together. Supercomputer simulation of 24,000 cerium atoms plus 8000 aluminum atoms with or without the topological footnote added is enlightening. Plot respective structure factors against the reciprocal space vector for each case. The curves are identical! Where is the inform
mircea_popescu: talline product not
a face-centered cubic single crystal.
mircea_popescu: Atomic bonding does its thing at
a scale of angstrom lengths.
A 50x40x15 micron sample is (5x105)x(4x105)x(1.5x105) angstroms3 or 3x1016 Å3. How does random structure spontaneously quickly order in
a discontinuous transition to sharp diffraction lines (XRD) and spots (2D XRD), with such mammoth amplification? There is no global information! Thermal devitrification at 200°C affords

mircea_popescu: Devitrifying
a glass into crystals is wholly unremarkable. Given the opportunity, solids will descend into their lowest energy state at equilibrium -
a crystal. This offers large families of glass-ceramic wonder materials, plus sporadic glassblower loud profanity. That glasses exist at all is also unremarkable. Thermodynamics proposes, kinetics disposes. The problem is scale.
mircea_popescu: "Memory cannot be found because it is not localized, nor does it exist as such. One felicitous memory model is the amorphous glassy metal alloy Ce3Al. Melt-spun alloy passes all local and global tests (HRTEM, ED, XRD, 2D XRD) for random order. Load
a diamond anvil cell with
a 50x40x15 micron3 sample. At 3,539,000 psi it remains amorphous. At 3,626,000 psi it is

mircea_popescu: goes nicely with the valium for the worthless female subculture of the 80s. sort-of like stoner movies, for
a different holstein.
mircea_popescu: the man started in "the raven" and has been doing the same thing ever since : playing the devilishly dangerous lone male in
a world of boring, twaddled middle aged women.
mircea_popescu: "Economists do the economy as psychologists do the mind.
A watershed of data is statistically manipulated. Miserably intricate deeply parameterized speculative theory is fit to data, protected from criticism by complexity. Extrapolations are made. Official predictions are absurd versus observed reality. Economists scream "heteroskedasticity!" and demand multi-$trillion Federal bailouts. Psychologists disdain irrelevanc
mircea_popescu: make it

mircea_popescu: t with aqueous NH4HF2. Engineering diddles things: computers, excimer lasers, and business lunches. It was
a Pink solution."
mircea_popescu: "The next first job was creating ophthalmic implants. How is
a 5 micron diameter hole drilled through 500 microns of implantable Plexiglas contact lens? It isn't. Nothing can drill such
a 100:1 aspect ratio hole. Uncle Al put about 500 7 micron diameter holes through
a foot-long Plexiglas rod, the long way, and said "dice it." Holes are

mircea_popescu: "Uncle Al's next first job, four years later, was industrial. Uncle Al was to isolate kerogen (the "not anything like oil") in Colorado oil shale (
a calcareous marlstone, not shale). Low rank coal organics are like cured epoxy. They ain't comin' out. The literature was rife with researchers who tortured oil shale then sang like vultures about presumed stuff extracted. Uncle Al dissolved the rock to leave the kerogen. (

mircea_popescu: "That should not be difficult. Use attrition technology developed for cobalt-cemented tungsten carbide and substitute about 10 mole-% of high molecular weight PVK to adsorb upon the micaceous platelet crystal surfaces. Thus when you add the dispersed phase to

mircea_popescu: "This is Dr. Frutex. Yes, I heard about you! Tell me, how would you generate
a microdispersion of sodium diaminodihydroxyarsenobenzenemethanesulfonate in
a linear hydrophobic matrix synthesized below its glass transition temperature?"
mircea_popescu: "I was fired. Sometimes you find it hard just not to cry. (Said employer purged its 20% insubordinate, belligerent, ingenious, and flat-out insane employees. What remained was loyal to
a fault, perfect in execution, possessed of fine silk neckties, and unemployed 18 months later when the whole company folded.)"
jurov: "However, sources indicate future Decondtioned releases remain in doubt after Packard’s father upgraded the garage air conditioner to

mircea_popescu: and it extends almost twice as far away from the port in the south -west than i nthe north.

a respectable country.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, that wasn't even the outskirts. kinda midtown, the park is two blocks down from chacarrita, the cemetery. she lived nearby. i have

a good 6 miles further north, right on the province border. the town extends past that, arguably.
gribble: ninjashogun was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 1 year, 9 weeks, 5 days, 6 hours, 31 minutes, and 12 seconds ago: <ninjashogun> I am only interested in building real-world businesses with real income streams, not taking bitcoin investments for something and running off iwth it. (Not referencing anyone here, this was
a recent case with Moolah, for example. Or at least accusation.)
gribble: artifexd was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 37 weeks, 6 days, 14 hours, 48 minutes, and 7 seconds ago: <artifexd> I'm comfortable calling it
a review. Not just of what it is but what it was and how it got to where it is.

mircea_popescu: so you're spending your youth, or at least every waking hour away from your child and his mother, to do things you wouldn't use on
a platform you hate ?
