BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> but on the other thread, from what pool are 'they' to 'pick their own'? must i not provide? << The pool that knows wheeties actually isn't the breakfast of champion, because that is two scoops of whey and
a scoop of dry instant coffee in an shaker.
mircea_popescu: if they're worth
a shit they'll find and if not,
a well. most stuff developing in an uterus is meant to abort sooner or later anyway.
☟︎ ben_vulpes: well i did think about it for
a few weeks before bringing it up. 'was cool' is
a simplification of the whole 'semantic web' trip.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes that's actually pretty accurate. except smart ppl did not think it was cool. "smart" people had visions of
a wikipedia-bayesian world.
ben_vulpes: tutoring is decent work for
a mistress, neh?
ben_vulpes: but never fucking ever will i readily consent to stick my offspring in
a daycare for an amount of attention outside of my control to be paid to them.
ben_vulpes: perhaps
a slice here or there, like latin or ballroom dancing
ben_vulpes: i have yet to meet
a teacher i'd entrust the whole of any educational program to outside my wot
BingoBoingo: You make up for that though by being
a jew who knows better than to blow all of the money on the smaller person's preschool.
BingoBoingo: You aren't
a complete hack ben_vulpes, just
a bit careless with your emacs buffers.

adlai: if
a meme is to be killed, it's to be done right, and anybody meming "jim crow hurr durr" doesn't actually understand what bitcoin's good for
adlai: ;;later tell ben_vulpes: "Teaching people to look at the world as
a malleable thing is one of the foundations of socialist brainrot" << so satoshi was

a comment section already willya, it's blogging 101
kakobrekla: so you wont get
a cold riding outside the train.
adlai: and this is worth almost
a year-day of upboats
adlai: fwiw back when i had to cull
a key, something to do with revocation certificates seemed to do the trick

a troll in the nuts faster than you can say "why would you do that here"

a vaxstation
assbot: Logged on 12-12-2015 04:47:27; *: BingoBoingo wonders if there is
a 12 step group for LSD adlai can explore, remembers medically induced ibogaine hallucinations likely conntributed to Bill's spiritual experience
ben_vulpes: the canonical #b-
a thread to reference here is that "americans, no matter how they slave, cannot even begin to approximate that which their fathers took for granted".
assbot: Logged on 28-12-2015 01:32:37; asciilifeform: (~actual~ physics specialist will not brag about phd, any more than
a cabbie brags about driver's license!)
ben_vulpes: the tuition for which was 16K (for hs, and only
a moderate hike from the lower school rates) in 2004, and most likely has doubled since.
ben_vulpes: i have
a perfectly capable baker on staff already. yes it takes some time to make bread. so bake, and later eat.
assbot: Logged on 20-06-2015 22:00:39; mircea_popescu: Sol Nazerman: You people? Oh, let's see. Yeah. I see. I see, you... you want to learn the secret of our success, is that right? Alright I'll teach you. First of all you start off with
a period of several thousand years, during which you have nothing to sustain you but
a great bearded legend. Oh my friend you have no land to call your own, to grow food on or to hunt. You have nothing. You're never in
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: how do you figure ? the auto-car thread is just
a good example of wishful thinking that some prototype is the guaranteed fyootoor. no different than google glass, e-books, iot, etc.
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: write
a curriculum, write incorporation docs for the federated states of cascadia, tango, the odd simulation problem that's been nagging, low-profile nearly-submersibles...
pete_dushenski: actually osborne's tax might minimise the blast radius of
a black swan by pushing wanna-bes to the exits before the next "no one could've predicted"
pete_dushenski: " In fact, contrary to Mr Osborne’s suggestion, the only buy-to-let investors who will not be hit are the very wealthy who buy property in cash and who don’t need

a lot more if i was dealing billions with this schmuck.
mircea_popescu: fucktard. i'd be worried about the sms from the bush
a lot more if i was dealing billions with this schmuck.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: I dropped my bike in
a bush and texted our salesperson about the idea. <<< re the entire chechens thread.
mircea_popescu: And why his favored approach to stress testing (
a technique called Bayesian nets) << oh lordy.
mircea_popescu: in other words, the us fed is managed way the fuck worse than b-
a. because hey, the world is full of "physics phds" that went to fucking mit.
mircea_popescu: "In other words, the Fed, by centralizing stress testing around its own approach, is incentivizing banks to follow suit, which may push them to accumulate similar exposures to one another and to manage them in similar ways, resulting in decreased diversification and increased risk. This is
a question raised by particularly prescriptive rules like the Fed’s 5 percent hurdle, which are simple to monitor but may be just
mircea_popescu: the dictum "never get involved in
a land war in asia" is mostly due to the fact that the portuguese were involved in
a sea war in asia, and it worked splendidly for them.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "Hitting
a market’s ceiling like this was something that none of my methodologies accounted for." << because going "hey, my primary's like 20bn, the unwind that might need could easily be 2bn in
a week, the whole fuel market's maybe
a fifth that, hey check this out I've propped
a car with
a toothpick overf here"
mircea_popescu: there is the lulzy part where "physics phd" genius boy props up
a huge derivative trade with
a weak market, an absolute noob mistake - and one his fucking desk should have caught.
mircea_popescu: expect the same in the last days of the us. not being
a nation is VERY dangerous.
mircea_popescu: capital flight in
a collapsed federation is
a universal reliable phenomenon.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not really. and also, the chechen story is mostly
a fabrication for internal su consumption.
assbot: Logged on 27-12-2015 23:06:44; kakobrekla: The required equipment was often purchased abroad and presented as someone’s personal design. By the way, it was common practice in industry throughout the history of the Soviet Union. For example, in the 1980s
a computer “EC1841” was designed for military purposes. The designers even managed to get the USSR State Award. Later it turned out that Soviet computer chips had never been designed – the
mircea_popescu: why we even discussing "
a head" ? why does it make
a difference ?
adlai: failing
a blog post i'll have to deed it instead
adlai: ben_vulpes: honestly it's
a better story for
a blog post!
ben_vulpes: if i press with
a head P that has antecedents Q, R, S, must my press *only* include the descendant P of Q, R, and S? or *all* descendants of Q, R, S? or all descendants of any of Q, R and S?
ben_vulpes:
a patch may have multiple antecedents, correct?
ben_vulpes: my question was determining what patches make it into
a pressing.
adlai slaps the bot on the ass with
a large trout
adlai: yeah
a couple programmer-years according to sloccount iirc
adlai: it's
a giant heap of shit, that yes, i shoveled/pooped/nurtured, in
a past life
adlai: you'll just have to read it for yourself, i guess, because i'm not about to sign
a single cons of it until i redo that myself :P
ben_vulpes: punkman: but for
a given "press"ed source tree /there can only be
a single head/, per the implementations that i'm looking at.
ben_vulpes: the act of pressing only allows for
a single head, regardless of whatever other patches exist.
ben_vulpes could have had
a whole bottle of nieto sentenier for what this single glass cost
ben_vulpes: i'm no perlspurt but mod6's only appears to press
a single head as well punkman
kakobrekla: <pete_dushenski> what, vw doesn't comply with regulations. why should
a broke-ass start-up ? < not big enough
ben_vulpes may be experiencing
a weekend of retardation
ben_vulpes: what?! how can there be more than
a single head
punkman: ben_vulpes: if you want to press
a minimal version of
a patch, you can recursively find all antecedents of
a HEAD patch
ben_vulpes: rebooting an old thread
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-11-2015#1323387: asciilifeform: since
a patch has multiple antecedents, would an accurate description of the correct patch-selection algo for press be something along the lines of "given
a patch, find its antecedents. presssed version must contain the descendants of all of those antecedents."?
☝︎ pete_dushenski: what, vw doesn't comply with regulations. why should
a broke-ass start-up ?
