mircea_popescu: this way, it's inspirational of the people i actually like.
mircea_popescu: the way i see it, it would be inspirational of undesirables.
mircea_popescu: mnop. cuz i don't want to encourage the world of nubins and anton_osika. i want to encourage the world of wot and signatures.
anton_osika: Could you let me have this with my freenode auth, if no one else claims to be antonosika, and I will stop pestering you and how is a man of his words?
anton_osika: I still don't see that it explicitly states that antonosika needs a signature for delivery however :)
anton_osika: mircea_popescu: Hey since I read your first draft of the contract between you and me I have learnt a lot.
nubbins`: anton_osika not my contract so i have NFI. but i don't see anything in there that requires you to take any further action
anton_osika: I see it as fingerprints as a tool for simplifying proofs of physical identities, not replacing them. Might be good for the sake of lowering worries when entering contracts to be able to specify point of delivery, if unquestioned, with an alternative identification?
anton_osika: Right, the way I see it is just that I had a business deal regarding delivery but I lost my hands so I can sign no more documents.
BingoBoingo: Or maybe try to uncorrupt youre backup, but I have no idea where you could start on that
BingoBoingo: anton_osika: There really anything I can advise other than working to develop a time machine so you could have made better backups.
cazalla: goes beyond the parents these days though, kids are seen as owned by the community and all that shit, i expect to meet a lot of opposition and resistance in the years ahead ☟︎
cazalla: trinque, i copped it from a young age too and these are the only memories I have around the ages of 4-5 , not convinced it would actually do my son any benefit
trinque: cazalla: I'd say by about 2 or 3 you could encounter a mild pop on the ass in my family for screaming fits and other carrying on
danielpbarron: nubbins`> "don't run away, sweetie, someone might take you!" to a 3yo << reminds me of this odd phrase a friend's son uses: "what's it gonna do to me?" // I suspect it's the result of public school teaching him that anything not blessed by the state is dangerous
trinque: but when they start developing a personality, that's where I think you can do great damage by not teaching them self-restraint
cazalla: not at 20 months, maybe 6-7 years of age.. but who knows, maybe i've grown soft having not had a fight or been punched in some time ☟︎
trinque: and I understood that just fine when I was little
trinque: I'm advocating the swift kick in the ass, not saying "no".
cazalla: at least that is what i've observed with my own son.. telling him no does seem to encourage the behaviour more, so we usually ignore or draw as little attention to it as possible
cazalla: trinque, i really don't think they'd understand or be able to make a connection between their behaviour and your reaction ☟︎
nubbins`: anyway, i'm way too selfish and irresponsible to sire a child
trinque: well no, cartman had cunning; I wont give him that compliment
cazalla: i don't think dishing out some old fashioned discipline to the toddler is really going to help either
cazalla: not sure, but i think that is pretty normal for kids to lash out at their parents
trinque: and I think on the other side, without that, you leave the child without the ability to exercise self-restraint at all
trinque: and I still have all my parts functional
trinque: cazalla: sure, I only got my ass kicked when I was being a moron.
cazalla: trinque, tbh, that made me even more determined, not saying not to hit kids but i think it needs to be applied in a manner my own parents failed to do
nubbins`: i'm tempted to grab Worms 2
danielpbarron: yeah i'm still watching the video, makes me want to get it again
trinque: kid: "I'm going to kill you all." parent: *SLAP* kid: "I'm very sorry."
nubbins`: i had an R4DS cart for my ds, took microsd
cazalla: danielpbarron, copper asked me multiple time if i actually had guns heh, this was shortly after the columbine shootings mind you
danielpbarron: i was thinking of "Pushover"
danielpbarron: oh i just realized i was thinking of a different game, but this one was also great.
nubbins`: so i guess it was DOS
danielpbarron: i think i played it on DOS or windows 95
trinque: ah I loved playing lemmings on DOS ☟︎
nubbins`: the game's only $20usd, but they give you the wii u AND 3ds versions with purchase, and i don't have a 3ds
danielpbarron: i used to love that game, never finished it
danielpbarron: i'll try to find out which it is and get back to you, but if it's compatible I think i'd like to take you up on the offer
nubbins`: i had two actual DS carts (mario kart korean version, advance wars 2) before i bought an SD loader
nubbins`: i think they look pretty similar
danielpbarron: i'm looking up images now, and it looks like i might have the "DS"
danielpbarron: oh and I think I have a "3ds" that someone left with me as collateral over a bitcoin deal and later said keep it
nubbins`: cazalla i had a similar device to your sky3ds or w/e for my original DS
assbot: Logged on 12-09-2015 22:49:42; cazalla: trinque, i threatened to shoot a bunch of kids at my school via icq.. made front page of local rag and blurred out face on local tv, no name though :\ probably get 10 years like that isis kid these days
danielpbarron: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-09-2015#1271941 << I got arrested in the principal's office when a librarian who had a grudge against me (she was the mother of some kids in the military and didn't like that i didn't stand for the "pledge of allegiance") ratted me out for yelling "i'm gonna kill you" (not in earnest, it was just the thing to say at the time) at some kids who made a habit of teasing me ☝︎
trinque: and I'm imagining *that* demanding ever more socialism
trinque: the distinction I see is that those were still rather culturally similar to the folks already there, no?
nubbins`: this whole part of the country i live in was mainly settled by irish escaping the potato famine
shinohai: I'll bet Islamic extremists are foaming at the mouth hoping to recruit a few. ☟︎
nubbins`: i can drink 18 beers, but not in an hour
nubbins`: i'm actually playing captain toad treasure tracker atm
nubbins`: asciilifeform: re: the cost of bicycles -- i'm reminded of your rant about how in computing, there's no "professional grade equipment", i.e. people who code for a living are using the same hw as people who check facebook all day long
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> ... << it has a keyboard. and this was before the age of 'must use a toothpick for this qwerty' idiocy. << It is truly a more impressive machine than I was anticipating. The screen is actually usefully large.
asciilifeform: and for all i know, every single nvidia anything ever made.
ben_vulpes: might be 2010, now that i think of it.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: that could easily be the last remaining such machine, the nvidia ball grid plague killed them all, i thought.
ben_vulpes: ;;later tell pete_dushenski remarkably few, actually. i have one 15" mbp from ~08 i think that's holding up remarkably well.
asciilifeform: 'In my own CAS development experience, I've found it nearly impossible to do what the TI-89 does, that is, automatically perform these simplifications without wrapping them in a 'hint' function. I've found that both in terms of computational cost, and in pure software engineering difficulty, this is basically impossible to do. Every CAS I've ever built has involved horrendous debugging of infinite recursion and similar bugs du
thestringpuller: hahahaha. i'm excited for 'creative' user-agents in the future
assbot: Logged on 13-09-2015 08:28:00; BingoBoingo: Much larger than I expected. About 1/2 the desk footprint of laptop
assbot: Logged on 13-09-2015 09:38:51; mircea_popescu: i don't really see oo bullshit as anything more than wank, but then again that's me.
thestringpuller: So glad I went to Georgia Tech over MIT these days.
mircea_popescu: i don't really see oo bullshit as anything more than wank, but then again that's me. ☟︎
phf: i suspect that mp made profit on the decade since he's a bit older then myself, i started at the tail end, and when king yeltsin abdicated that was pretty much the end of it
phf: i know there's some tension between yaron minsky's (of jane street capital) extensions to core library and inria's core, but someone with better knowledge of language can chime if inria is in the wrong
cazalla: i wonder if there is a tanzanian bitcoin embassy
phf: asciilifeform: btw i take back 'inria was once useful' << inria is behind caml and presently maintains ocaml, they also do Cog, but i think that's pushing the limit of "useful"
BingoBoingo: Much larger than I expected. About 1/2 the desk footprint of laptop ☟︎
BingoBoingo: Oh, TI-92 arrived yesterday. Much larger than I imagined ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i suppose ima retire to this, eventually. "i will guess how much your bike cost!"
cazalla: you know, a few years ago i put an advertisement in gumtree (aussie craigslist) for free psychic readings and you would not believe the barrage of phone calls
Naphex: nah I passed; too much crazyness; he does pay shitloads of guys insane money for building his scam sites / software and everything else
Naphex: well i guess this guys quantum devices get tumors to fall off o.O;
mircea_popescu: well honestly... i'd much rather a deranged tranny get all the moneys, than a bunch of retards getting to keep it.
mircea_popescu: "Upon studying the software I also found pornographic images embedded in it, for what reason I was unable to determine."
Naphex: sec i'll find the article that referenced the 100mn
Naphex: the responses i got back 'well if you're so smart, why don't you have 100mn"
Naphex: i was trying to explain my retarded rich friends that he was a scammer and gave them resources
mircea_popescu: "hello sir i am an injured drone" ?
pete_dushenski: for apps, yes. i guess they're moving that philosophy over to safari or w/e
gribble: artifexd was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 20 weeks, 3 days, 6 hours, 32 minutes, and 26 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: i have it right in front of me and i see neither 'troat' nor 'hunting' in the index. hmm
asciilifeform: i tried at one time to find some info re: 'troat hunting' where a deer is coralled and its screams attract others - mentioned therein
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: aha. this is the only one i've yet cracked
asciilifeform: i only have vol. 1
pete_dushenski: i also recently cracked open ~2kg of dead tree goodness : a history of private lives, volumes i-iv
pete_dushenski: well shows what i know about wrenching on apple hardware!
asciilifeform: i have an 'air' that i've replaced virtually all of at one time or another...
asciilifeform: otherwise i can't fathom why anyone would live with dead keys
asciilifeform: somewhere there is also a set of his correspondence, a good chunk of it in fr, that i don't yet have.
pete_dushenski: i'm just doing web, text, odd bit of video, once-in-a-blue-moon editing
pete_dushenski: then again, i almost certainly don't push them as hard as you do
pete_dushenski: i have '08 aluminum that's a bit bogged down with cruft but otherwise excellent
pete_dushenski: and i'm not exactly easy on it myself :P
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: i'm similarly skeptical but there's been nary a hiccup in the first season at least. it'll take another few before i can say much more than that.
ben_vulpes: i also suspect that they won't hold up to the kind of thrashing i put my machines through
