mircea_popescu: i vote this guy 'most likely to modern man'.
kakobrekla: http://i.imgur.com/SefmLKf.gif
mircea_popescu: the kicker, of course, being "She seems to think that professional careers require flawless writing ability, which I don't feel is the case."
mircea_popescu: so i get a piece of spam, http://trilema.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/spam.png and i'm curious, where did the script get that sentence ?
ben_vulpes: i just burnt my discretionary income on fundation expenses.
ben_vulpes: i still want to get that madonna book
mircea_popescu: wait, i thought her fucking tupac was public knowledge.
ben_vulpes: i've been waiting for you to come around
mircea_popescu: "Please use the comments to demonstrate your own ignorance, unfamiliarity with empirical data and lack of respect for scientific knowledge. Be sure to create straw men and argue against things I have neither said nor implied. If you could repeat previously discredited memes or steer the conversation into irrelevant, off topic discussions, it would be appreciated. Lastly, kindly forgo all civility in your discourse . .
ben_vulpes: "i will do as told." < ha this one
mircea_popescu: lol i remember when she was teaching leterman wardrobe terms
mircea_popescu: i think she was, actually.
mircea_popescu: http://qntra.net/2015/03/blythe-masters-to-head-wall-street-invasion/#comment-13670 << i lawled.
ben_vulpes: i just got a 400 redirect
ben_vulpes: tbf i'm more likely to get fucked into quiescence than vice versa
cazalla: i'll leave you a note if you're not around anyway
ben_vulpes: lady v returns from travels tomorrow noon pst, so i'll likely be unavailable though the pm.
cazalla: i should be able to let you know whether it is or not by this time tmw
ben_vulpes: if you find that this is *not* a ram issue, i'll provide you ssh access to a thing on which you can run a bitcoind.
cazalla: as long as it doesn't blow it to over say 100gb, i can help, i have some older machines here too if of any use
cazalla: no, i mean my use of it with home internet connection
ben_vulpes: unlike some people i'm willing to train male slaves.
ben_vulpes: when i'm done with you you'll be downright valuable.
cazalla: ben_vulpes, unfortunately, i need a lot of hand holding as i can only get so far myself so i would likely cause you more trouble than be of help
cazalla: i'll go buy a cheap stick of ram tmw and try again
ben_vulpes: i will not accept 'may have'.
ben_vulpes: well i have non pogo tasks for you
cazalla: i'll fuck around with the pogo and hopefully learn a thing or two, that but that aside, what are odds shitty ram is cause of my problems.. memtest86 cites errors and i actually did have a couple blackouts a month back
cazalla: well that's why i have a pogo otw
mircea_popescu: this is what i meant : while the thing's not necessarily useful, at least it's trying.
ben_vulpes: Are you going to argue with Bruce Schneier? I didn't think so. << amazing pedigree
cazalla: over the past few days i've tried a fresh install with 0.8.3, 0.8.6 and 0.10.0 and all have problems, and yes fresh as in fresh as i wiped hdd each time
cazalla: so i copied em over into blocks dir here now and ran 0.8.6
ben_vulpes: 132587 << fresh sync i'm betting
cazalla: it's about 8gb of blocks which i downloaded using 0.8.6 the other day
cazalla: ben_vulpes, confident nothing in there, but even if there was, i have nothing more than bitcents on machine connected to internet
cazalla: nah i checked
cazalla: what's AddToWallet, should i snip that from log before putting on dpaste?
cazalla: not that i was trying to use 0.10.0, that was just a last resort past few days
cazalla: anyway, point i was trying to make last night was drunk, bad decision or not, i have done this many times over past year and it would always get a full chain after a day, but can't since 0.10.0 came out
cazalla: i actually have older chain here on external hdd so im copying that over, it isn't a full one either though, i believe it is from other day when trying 0.8.6 so will try soon
cazalla: ben_vulpes, can't at this time, chain and client i have half done here atm is 0.10.0 from when i got frustrated and decided to see if this work, it didn't get to that blockheight
cazalla: mircea_popescu, ya know what i'm yet to figure out about such pics, under what circumstances do people get naked like this at a wedding?
mircea_popescu: i mean it's traditionally a device to humiliate the girls, but the degree!
cazalla: i think this was from 0.8.6 or maybe 0.8.3 install, can't remember
ben_vulpes: anyways cazalla your mission should you choose to accept it is to run down some useful debug information from a 0.8.6 that refuses to sync. i suggest booting your bitcoind with the -debug flag.
cazalla: ben_vulpes, i really only got off windows like.. 7-8 months ago
ben_vulpes: <cazalla> ben_vulpes, i reinstall nigubuntu a few days after 0.10 came out, i forgot to backup blocks so i had to dl it all again, but not able to do so despite blowing about 100gb on trying << dude i need more than this
ben_vulpes: <bagehot> [04:12] Another argument I've heard is that thing like 'money' and the 'economy' exist as they are because of some constraints that are present in the natural world and so those constraints, eh, cause certain behaviors << it's called thermodynamics
ben_vulpes: ;;later tell bagehot "normative statement" << actually now i'm not so sure i want to be around you at all even
mircea_popescu: which is why i don't particularly share the worries of most intellectuals abnout the various books burned during history.
ben_vulpes: "do as i say, or i slay."
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> presently the only package of -source- i've succeeded in building into a kernel that can be used on pogo - was netbsd. << it's over. eat a strategic banana, let them have the abandoned fortresses, move to the hills and build batteries of cheapish ground and air control devices to hold no mans land, lick wounds, regroup.
cazalla: http://i.imgur.com/akdKhXt.jpg <<< you can use a daikon raddish as a heatsink?
mircea_popescu: i dun think genes are what you think they are.
cazalla: anyway, i have a pogo otw, we'll see what comes of that next week
ben_vulpes: if i might be so bold i bear an excellent subset of excellent american genes
cazalla: but i even tried 0.10 out of pure frustration and it wouldn't work either.. i actually think it might be related to ram in this pc, memtest86 reports bunch of errors
cazalla: ya, i know, but i was using 0.8.3 and i have at times in the past thought fuck it, i'll just download the blockchain after a format
cazalla: ben_vulpes, i reinstall nigubuntu a few days after 0.10 came out, i forgot to backup blocks so i had to dl it all again, but not able to do so despite blowing about 100gb on trying
ben_vulpes: i'm well aware that this is how Things Are Done™
assbot: Logged on 13-03-2015 12:53:40; cazalla: and i am stuck using fucking electrum since then because for some reason, since bitcoin-qt 0.10.0 came out, my old 0.8.3, 0.8.6 throws errors and i can't fully sync and even lame attempt to try 0.10.0 falls flat.. i think maybe memory is fucked though unrelated, memtest86 throws a bunch of errors
bagehot: For the <full_gpg_keyid> I'm using the fifth column I get from the command gpg --list-keys --with-colon, 60E5BD872B2A6031. I'm getting back 'assbot: That does not seem to be a valid fingerprint.'
bagehot: How do I fix that? I'm mistaken but thats where I thought (but no longer do) gribble fit in.
bagehot: Er, when I send !up to assbot I get 'assbot: bagehot is not registered in WoT.' back
bagehot: But, how do I prevent getting muted by assbot? I figured I registered a public key with gribble to register with the wot and then it was a matter of ;;eauth and messaging !up to assbot
bagehot: I dig the link to the BRK letters at http://wiki.bitcoin-assets.com/finance. His letters are really a sharp resource on finance.
asciilifeform: i also need atomic dirigible, possibly
Birdman: Right, but the risk is on my end really if I send the money. Also, I am trying to do a larger volume where my irl contact is uncomfortable doing
mircea_popescu: i don't think many people do that, on account of how unreliable it is.
Birdman: Hello -assets. I am looking to dump my dollars for coins and have almost no trust ratings in the WoT. Willing to use an escrow or however it can be the least risky for both parties if anyone is interested
bagehot: Alright, I'll be back in a bit once I've got wot setup.
bagehot: I suspect so, although, it'd depend on the natural constraint thats being put forth
bagehot: Its definately the case that some social systems cause behaviors in practically all people, although I suspect once in a while people manage to commander the board for a bit.
bagehot: Another argument I've heard is that thing like 'money' and the 'economy' exist as they are because of some constraints that are present in the natural world and so those constraints, eh, cause certain behaviors
bagehot: Thanks! First, re: one interesting idea: Can you clarify 'decide'? One sort of sociological argument I've heard is that social systems cause specific behaviors to be present in people.
bagehot: That's my first pass at an answer. That's not a question I've thought about before.
assbot: Why I nixed p2p, colored coins and all that jazz pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1FkyIJR )
mircea_popescu: maybe look into http://trilema.com/2013/why-i-nixed-p2p-colored-coins-and-all-that-jazz/ and go from there.
bagehot: I also think it'd be fun to try to build a decentralized currency with a built-in mechanism for lender-of-last-resort purposes
bagehot: Well, so to give a concrete example, but not to make a normative statement about the relative merits for some purpose of one kind of unit of account over another, I think it'd be fun to try switching the party that initiates the asset-liability relationship.
bagehot: I think it'd be more fun to see what people do, if anything, with units of account that aren't like digital gold.
bagehot: Heh, nah, I've got no interest in patching bitcoin for the sake of itself beyond tinkering with the code to learn about.
danielpbarron: http://i.imgur.com/t2sfuot.jpg
bagehot: Well all the better then. In the longer run I want to try inventing some units of account with different transactional properties and expansionary mechanisms.
mircea_popescu: uh i mean
bagehot: Eh, the delay was to make sure I communicated accurately what I am here to learn.
bagehot: Where I can go to get the gory details on how the interesting parts of the bitcoin source code are implemented and why those interesting bits actually work cryptographically and in a game-theory sense. I think its pretty incredible that a bunch of people can credibly store tokens of considerable value on a decentralized, digital network.
cazalla: bagehot, i can't speak to whether it's any use or not, but i have seen this floating around before http://suitpossum.blogspot.com.au/2014/12/academic-bitcoin-research.html
bagehot: fair enough, i'll check it out
bagehot: at least from what I understand of the technical implementation.
bagehot: decimation: What is there to say about the BoE? I'm here to learn checkout scarcity-through-obscurity currencies.
asciilifeform: ^ that's actually the main appeal i think
mircea_popescu: i dun think mars is habitable.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> i mean, wtf ?! << it's widely used by gamers.
cazalla: ;;later tell xanthyos if you ever manage to break your cock again, i read you can now get a replacement in south africa http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-31876219
cazalla: on one hand i get it, ya don't want random drunks coming in carrying on while you're having a conversation, but they are easily muted
cazalla: which is what i was gonna do last night ya know, bit of a chit chat, bit of a yarn but nope, gotta wait in some other room to be screened
asciilifeform: i mean, wtf ?!
PeterL: sure, I guess that works
