TomServo: Good! Relieved to know I'm still a person after having to refer to a backup.
mircea_popescu: whichy, as he said then and i believed then, set him back a few months of dayjob.
mircea_popescu: i don't think the guy's toxic, just, acts the imbecile on occasion.
asciilifeform: as i understood, a negrate is a kind of radioactive tomb, a warning to others
asciilifeform: 'I saw a huge steam roller, / It blotted out the sun. / The people all lay down, lay down; / They did not try to run. / ... ...' - k. vonnegut
mircea_popescu: i couldn't have it better if i planned it.
assbot: I used to work in the same research field as Xi. A very nice guy, did some very ... | Hacker News ... ( http://bit.ly/1OHsNn4 )
mircea_popescu: i thought alf was the anal afficcionado
mircea_popescu: i think suicide bombing not only can be but actually is perfectly justified. ☟︎
punkman: or "I wonder what a survey of Jews and Christians would show re: justification of drone bombings."
punkman: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CPSzb53U8AEd4rD.png "I'm not "phobic" of all of Islam, just the several hundred million Muslims who think "suicide bombing is sometimes or often justified.""
gribble: artifexd was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 21 weeks, 3 days, 2 hours, 58 minutes, and 11 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.
pete_dushenski: for a node network n00b, i found the aforejizzed quote quite interesting ☟︎
pete_dushenski: but i still need something to mock !
asciilifeform: i just don't get it.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-09-2015#1279879 << actually as far as i can tell it is ~worse~. the 'small binaries' are bytecode-compiled that runs SLOW AS FUCK ~and~ REQUIRED RUNTIME INSTALLED ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-09-2015#1279881 << i fucking hate single-vendor items ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 19-09-2015 15:58:44; pete_dushenski: i remember way back when bitshares was a new thing, all the local kidz (some of whom were twice my age) jumping aboard and mining and trying to swindle me into it
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-09-2015#1279839 << i just came out of a shop near dc, it sold that same mimolette (as far as naked eye could tell) ☝︎
phf: i think it's actually called region-based memory management
assbot: Logged on 19-09-2015 22:32:40; phf: asciilifeform: phf: they all have fuckin' ~huge~ binaries so far as i'm concerned << i don't think i was too picky at the time, i.e. cmucl dumps 20mb images, and my main concern was audio latency anyway. oh i also used mlkit for that reason, it uses a combination of frame based memory management and gc, so you can have realtime guarantees.
asciilifeform: (standalone ones. i will not use the threaded code ones for anything)
assbot: Logged on 19-09-2015 22:33:17; phf: never the less later that was reason why i looked at ocaml, with some flags and afair abandonment of all stdlib packages, you can get it to produce binaries in the low 100kb range. entirely useless.
assbot: Logged on 19-09-2015 22:40:54; phf: if b-a was a 1912 revolutionary clique, pete would be a hotheaded guy with a nagant, shooting up chandelier to announce our arrival. "comrade mats was questioning comrade lenin's communique, so i gave him nagant to the gut."
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-09-2015#1279842 << lulzy. for comparison, i picked up a (turned out, virginal (!!!)) ti-92plus for 25 usd. ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-09-2015#1279839 << i thought betel was banned in usa? or was that khat ? ☝︎☟︎

shinohai: I don't necessarily have to make them public, just wanted to put them somewhere so I could connect if need be.
shinohai: I got ascii's I think and danielpbarron 's
shinohai: To all reading the b-a logs: I wish to compile a list of realbitcoin nodes so if you have one I can list feel free to ping.
mircea_popescu: shit, i want two.
shinohai: https://i.imgur.com/7EgfHNf.jpg <<<dem shoulders though :/
shinohai: b-a has the brightest minds in bitcoin finance, yet I never hear anyone here hawking the latest hardware.
phf: i wouldn't have posted otherwise, but for the recent calculator discussions. all the talk about "limited edition retro appeal" in stark contrast to b-a considerations
shinohai: btw excellent trilema post mircea_popescu. I don't have the greatest understanding of such things but that certainly makes sense.
shinohai: tl;dr I don't know this shit but it is critical to get people to adopt my scamcoin. SO help plox, thx bye.
ag3nt_zer0: same topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ph5LdzBE1V4 if anyones interested I like watching this kid fight
mircea_popescu: in other news, trilema article i been working for the past coupla hours now stands at 7.5k words
ben_vulpes: this is relevant to a question i've been mulling of late. say a new client shows up at my door, and i like their shit so much i want to buy a chunk of it. how would i navigate both owning a chunk of the new company and also my consulting company that would be building large swathes of the product? seems a bit ethically and incentive-alignmently fraught.
pete_dushenski: this is precisely what i mean by 'economists' of which noah smith is a prime example
mircea_popescu: i thought azn ppl were supposed to be throwing the curve.
mircea_popescu: i suspect it was a deliberate jab
pete_dushenski: i remember way back when bitshares was a new thing, all the local kidz (some of whom were twice my age) jumping aboard and mining and trying to swindle me into it ☟︎
mircea_popescu: "I read about interest on bitAssets. Tell me more!
mircea_popescu: i was discussing women and blowjobs wasn't i.
mircea_popescu: wait, i call scamminigans.
assbot: Logged on 19-09-2015 14:50:33; mircea_popescu: i also can't believe the butthurt "augur" people that kept derping on reddit about how mean bitbet is actually are built atop this shit and somehow still expect anyone to take them seriously.
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-09-2015#1279569 << was augur fussing about bitbet ? i musta missed this and just figured they'd pretend like bb/mpex were never invented ☝︎
asciilifeform: but also, unless i catastrophically misunderstand, 'market cap' is a pseudoscientific measure to begin with.
mircea_popescu: so since i'm now looking at the table of "crypto currencies", as if that's a thing now (hey, why not you know, alternate centers of gravity - why not!!1), here's a table :
mircea_popescu: i doubt anyone thinks this far ahead.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i also suspect that one of the drivers of usg interest in demented pseudo-bitcoin contraptions ('permissioned blockchain technology!') is that these folks dream of a hybrid bulldog-rhinoceros, 'best of both', where usg can electronically steal everything you have, but without any bureaucratic snags - it will look precisely like a voluntary donation, from a mathematical standpoint
asciilifeform: back to u.s. cash, i suspect that it remains a thing at least partly due to ease of extrajudicial confiscation
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-09-2015#1279498 << i never quite understood why this has not happened yet in usa ☝︎
mircea_popescu: (i do this sort of thing ALLLLL the time.)
asciilifeform: one of these days i'ma walk over to their sweatshop & count'em
asciilifeform: the other thing is, i was briefly astonished at how broken the thing is, but then remembered an old mircea_popescu lemma which leads to 'it must necessarily be broken' - i haven't the link handy, but this was an article where 'usg dare not safely use a working bitcoin or even similar item, because it will begin to warp around it'
assbot: Logged on 19-09-2015 14:46:16; mircea_popescu: http://forum.ethereum.org/discussion/3512/cant-compile-a-contract << meanwhile the "contract compiler" segfaults. and stuff. srsly, i need a "contract compiler" written in fucking cpp to spit out what's obviously parsed output ?
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-09-2015#1279559 << i don't see any traces of lisp in this atrocity ☝︎
shinohai: In that vein, TradeFortress is sure to give me back the coin I lost in coinlenders too.
mircea_popescu: obviously. i'm sure there's somewhere some people secretly waiting for neobee "brick and mortar stores" to come out of hiding.
shinohai: I decided not to bet on that one, I mean there are people that *still* believe in paycon despite Garza being what he was.
mircea_popescu: i also can't believe the butthurt "augur" people that kept derping on reddit about how mean bitbet is actually are built atop this shit and somehow still expect anyone to take them seriously. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: shinohai i'd be actually surprised if anyone managed to use this thing as intended to date.
mircea_popescu: i simply had no fucking idea, i imagined they'd go ineptly hit on girls or something. eat many cakes.
shinohai: I'm still rofl from the guy who sent all his coin to a contract the other day and now can't recover it.

mircea_popescu: all i wanna know is what the fuck broken parenscript they use.
mircea_popescu: they actually sit around and pretend like this shit's a thing. i have so much trouble processing this...
mircea_popescu: "We will continue our general direction of increasing permissiveness that we began with our recent changes to branding guidelines, and emphasis on maintaining norms of common sense and civility over strict rules. We are not following in the footsteps of /r/bitcoin‘s theymos. Discussion of EthereumXT (I suppose the closest equivalent we have is Expanse, with its 10x higher gas limit) is NOT banned.
mircea_popescu: We will make an effort to de-emphasize Skype, and emphasize Gitter as a means of real-time communication for developers. Gitter has the advantages that (i) it’s easier to quickly jump in and participate,"
mircea_popescu: i can't fucking believe there's 40 btc on its survival.
assbot: Logged on 19-09-2015 03:13:14; trinque: I met people in TX that were a meatwot node away from the Bush family. They're *not* free people.
danielpbarron: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-09-2015#1279296 << me too! I visited a false church on the outskirts of Waco for their harvest festival, and they were telling me that Bush sometimes attended / was seen "praying" at the main musical event ☝︎

punkman: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-09-2015#1279194 more related to Lex than yacc I think. definitely worth a look https://www.colm.net/open-source/ragel/ ☝︎

kakobrekla: mircea_popescu> <kakobrekla> how the latter flows from it < dishonest software does not require honest hardware the way i see it << more or less unrelated. dishonest accountand doesn't require dishonest FED nor vice-versa < mno. what another lie to a liar?
BingoBoingo: I'm wondering how long it will stay 4:1
cazalla: http://i.imgur.com/EOsblrE.gif
cazalla: damn them chicken wings were good.. 24 hours in a tub of soy and yellow box honey then smoked with mesquite.. i am snake full of chickun wingz
mircea_popescu: Who cares if men are stuck in a glass cellar? (They can change the ... ) <<< i expect they expect "men" to "fix everything" because "theyt're good at that and shit" ?
mircea_popescu: i certainly never miss the opportunity to inquire with young female beggars, because the thing puzzles me
asciilifeform: trinque: i especially like 'math bums'
trinque: man I love talking with bums
asciilifeform: sometimes i do talk to bumz!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what am i to do with the wild animal, l0l.
cazalla: friend and foe http://i.imgur.com/JpHE9hx.jpg http://i.imgur.com/j2RUdEI.jpg
asciilifeform: either undersupply of squad cars or - as i assumed - oversupply of policemen
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: perhaps unrelated (but possibly not), near the minez where i toil there has always been beggars. as in, 24/7, the buggers beg in shifts. for a month or so there was a cosmic anomaly: a passably young gurl. and today she was dragged away screaming by two bicycle cops.
mircea_popescu: ya sure. and if i were fucking starving, what exacty difference;d it make to you ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what starvation. are you proposing i'm BUYING my shit ?
asciilifeform: and yes, incompetence. i do not have the competences of mircea_popescu, this is not a seekrit.
mircea_popescu finds this somewhat puzzling, he has no problem competing with other men of any age. had no problem at 16 sitting 50yos on their ass, has no problem at 36 sitting 16 26 or w/e idem. i've yet to hear this magical "i'd rather go with him, he's younger" thing even.
assbot: Logged on 16-09-2015 20:49:44; ascii_field: i can afford plane ticket.
asciilifeform: i only need it to eat.
trinque: I met people in TX that were a meatwot node away from the Bush family. They're *not* free people. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: but this is me, and i don't live there.
