mircea_popescu: phf but in any case, i ~can~ read a million lines.
take me a season, but
then again what are seasons for,.

phf is mildly curious is mp is doing his "once i found a
thing, i read
the whole archive"
thing on 5gb or whatever it is of
their log..

the item... from derp-ass spammers who might want

☟︎ mircea_popescu: like bitcoin.com registration, if anyone recalls
those lulz.
mircea_popescu: im sure if you pin down anyone enough
to ask it's you know "a protective patent"
to "protect it" from "the bad guys"
mircea_popescu: yawell. usia. recall
that article aboput how nobody can keep up with
the printing
to satisfy
the wowow fantasy ?
shinohai: I hear
they lock you in a room and force you
to read coindesk articles all day.
mircea_popescu: anyone with a diy interest in microbiology should be doing precisely
that at least fucking once,
these days.
mircea_popescu: wtf is your excuse not running around planting chips in your back yards
to find
the next
teixobactin ?
mircea_popescu: <@fenn> you could have a dialysis membrane in a microfluidic chip i guess << speaking of vaguely
this :
the great success of
the new microflora research chips was so great it even made it
to qntra! seems an eminently crowd-source-able item, in a useful way at
that.
mircea_popescu: but, whether it got put
there by address owner or not, still same queue same process, so whatdiff does it make.
trinque: not automating
transactions going out.
mircea_popescu: trinque ah, good i said something
then. any strong reason for
this ?
mircea_popescu: (apartments, one above, one below.
the one below had an electrically leaky stove, so i bought metalware and punished girlies had
to make coffee on it. ZAP ZAP ZAP.)
shinohai: mircea_popescu looks like he would operate BTC speakeasy in
that pic
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, is
thwe current
trilema header my dorkiest pic ever or what.
mircea_popescu: as i
told
the girl saturday, "i'll
tell you when you ask!"
kanzure: how
then would i maintain my reputation of overkill otherwise?
kanzure: sure is a strange way
to do coinjoin
mircea_popescu: i just get a "x might want
to be upped" notification,
that's it.
shinohai: Maybe he is
trying
to avoid Barry Shillbert's secret Bitcoin police
danielpbarron: yeah if
they break something else i'll just dig it out of one of my working machines and apply
the same
treatment
jhvh1: shinohai:
The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: nice work danielpbarron ; shows
the value of keeping proper
tapes huh.
mircea_popescu: plenty early. no, my expectations was you're stuck with dust, and i was going
to offer you one so you have one.
mircea_popescu: so
the -ists as basically,
the filename, whereas
the file contents is a pile of heuristics/hacks, work as well as you might expect ?
phf: mircea_popescu: i don't
think a
thinking man is any kind of ist. i
think it's an affect, one could be a rationalist and
then he's going
to
talk about occam and denounce causes, or one can be some kind of mystic, and
then he's going
to have a particular stance also. i don't
think any of
this has
to do with with any sort of understanding.
mircea_popescu: give it more power, it'll cut
through other
things! :D
mircea_popescu: kanzure mind asking him
to come over ? i'll rate him anyway on
teh basis of what i've seen
danielpbarron: shinohai,
thanks
to
this latest annoyance i'm a little closer
to understanding how such a mirror might work
mircea_popescu knows of no other qualification for
the unknown besides asking
the right questions.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so you were cured. but he's, again, asking
the right question.
mircea_popescu: so basically, either a slut (cock comes
through
the glory hole, i suck it, what do you want from me) or else a fanatic (allah
told me!). otherwise,
thinking man has no alternative but
to be rationalist ?
shinohai: danielpbarron: it appears
this cuntoo mirroe
that mod6 spoke of is becoming more and more important.
mircea_popescu: ehehehe! " how
to make an inexpensive portable CNC milling machine - my Buckminster Fuller Institute contest "hexapod" entry"
phf:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-29#1705282 << i
think empiricist, but also perhaps a mystic would be another alternative, i.e. knowledge
through divine revelation. i
think perhaps also
traditionalist, i.e. inherent knowledge
☝︎ mircea_popescu: on
the basis of his authority (as i understand it) i can decode meaning out of words.
mircea_popescu: well, maybe it should be worrisome
the best
times were in 2014, but yes, seems alive enough.
phf: nah, catv was dead.
this
thing is alive
mircea_popescu: 14:43 < kanzure> i was just going
through "the list" in my head (i don't really have a list, i'm just making
things up
that sound important) << ehehehe.
this is becoming very alike
that seinfeld episode where
they had an opposite world and
there was an opposte alf named fenn and so on.
THE RSMT!!!
mircea_popescu: kanzure> i wonder if people just signed
their work with leibniz's name as a way
to get it preserved << your reference points are pythagoras and perhaps
mircea_popescu: the original privateers were created
through letters patent ;
the meaning of
the word
there is very much in
the vein of monarchical absolutism. it was later co-opted when industrial revolution folk wanted a way
to claim
transcendence for acts of commerce.
mircea_popescu: this is one of
the main ways in which wiki "education" fails.
to understand
things you must follow
their pedigree not merely attempt
to recognize instantaneous shape.
mircea_popescu: kanzure you are experiencing
the following problem : you do ocr on old
text, which produces ambiguities
that bite you in
the ass. yes
the string "patent" can be found in medieval and early modern period documents.
the item
thereby denoted however is not a patent.
mircea_popescu: 12:23 < kanzure>
there is a certain argument about not always
throwing away legacy code, but i currently forget
the exact argument << it was joel writing up netscape implosion.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform 12:22 <@fenn> how many lines of code is OCC? <<< see, he is asking
the right question. i knew my patience will be dug back out from
the hole by
the unfolding of events!
a111: Logged on 2017-08-29 14:10 kanzure: phf:
that sounds like something else.
the lesswrong folx are moron navelgazers. yes it makes sense
to "use
thinking" but not if
the output is just a pile of ponyfic and fearmogering.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-29#1704897 << see,
the problem is not
THAT it's ponyfic ; but
that it's bad.
there's plenty of demand for good fearmongering (don't stick your
tongue in wall socket, son!),
the problem is
there's no demand for bad fearmongering. it's
the quality, not
the kind of item,
that's
the problem.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: in particular phf what'd be
the name for "opinions and actions based on "i don't see anything wroing with it"" ? still rationalist ?
mircea_popescu: i
take it we're all aware how athens (ie, wisdom) was born according
to
the greeks, yes ?
mircea_popescu: ("artist" = choiceless art producer, say like durer. or i suppose originally, zeus, "gotta get
this bitch out of my fucking skull")
a111: Logged on 2017-08-29 14:00 phf: but yes i still
think
that you're a rationalist, without quotes. i don't
think you would object
to it, i mean, if you go by definition (opinions and actions based on reason and knowledge) rather
than "rationalwiki" "rationalist".
mircea_popescu: i don't
think
that really even happened. i mean... WHAT PROOF DO WE HAVE
mircea_popescu:
the captured male how
to behave so it doesn't rub wrongly. Example suffices, he will perhaps protest but certainly learn and definitely change
to fit
the limit on his penis. It's not like he's not very eager
to alter his behaviour so he can maintain
that sweet, sweet delicious cage for longer, for as long as possible, forever. Whatever he may say, it's all window-dressing for
that simple, fundamental fact -- he's happier neu
☟︎ mircea_popescu: protective confines of your steel gift.
They do want
to, all of
them do. Impediments, such as exist, all come from circumstantial happenstance, you have
to be careful not
to pinch
their delicate skins putting it on -- and mind
that for every inch of physical skin males have miles upon miles of mind-skins enveloping
them like a far-reaching cocoon. Once on, you'll have
to make sure it doesn't rub wrongly, and especially
teach
mircea_popescu: "Every male you ever run into will be looking for an excuse,
to explain
to himself, and
to "everyone else" as he represents
that in his head, why he isn't doing, more, better, etcetera. You happen
to have an exceptional answer, and one
that he is extremely eager
to receive from you. For
this reason you are
to expect no fundamental problems, it's not like you might run into a male
that doesn't want
to find himself in
the safe,
