BingoBoingo: I'll just throw out again that less-wrong's propaganda Harry Potter dicided to solve the Voldemort thing by decapitating everyone with carbon nanofiber tightened by magic.
BingoBoingo: I could have sworn he had one
mircea_popescu: i thought holliday just had tb.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-03-2015#1048052 << i knew a chick who kept arbalest. ☝︎
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> now if ben_vulpes an' mod6 get this show off the ground, it'll be reheheheally fascinating in short order. << just wrapping up the regression of the static binary: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=ny9m6Q3R and after this, we just need to bundle up this thing and sign patches & tar ball. gettin close!
mircea_popescu: welcome to late 2012 early 2013, i imagine a btc/usd run-up is coming ?
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-03-2015#1047869 << no one knows kakobrekla s dry wit like i do hehehe ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-03-2015#1047863 << the only one that solved the problem the usg backed "teams" are "working towards" i would presume without reading. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: "i'm going to pretend like if i find five people that can be bribed, scared or fooled then that's all that was needed to begin with. just, the usg is so ridiculous, toothless and impotent I CANT EVEN SAY WHO THE FUCK THE FIVE WILL BE. hopefully we even find five idiots, or else... whatever, three's enough. one's me, one's me dressed as satoshi, one's me in my wife's panties. win!"

BingoBoingo: I mean the Germans did win the propaganda war.
asciilifeform: i suppose it is 'good' in the sense in which the products of herr goebbels were.
mircea_popescu: i can't be arsed to wade into the merits.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i still fucking hate that piece. the sheer mendacity of rich hickey in saying 'simplicity matters' while crapping all over lisp concept ☟︎
mircea_popescu: jurov kukuruku is a great name. used to be this shitty wafer when i was a kid, most ridiculous advertisements.
assbot: Logged on 30-01-2015 05:51:36; mircea_popescu: which is why i am not ever giving it up. the freedom to threaten is not merely my fundamental, unassailable sovereign property, but moreover essential for the construction of effectual instruments to squash the socialists and their golums.
BingoBoingo: At one point in Civ II I edited the files to add the yellow truck as a unit type
trinque: though I think that tends over time towards ever vaguer "regulations" which amount to "we can stop you for doing anything we deem 'dangerous'"
BingoBoingo: At the moment I imagine there is no explict ban because USG wants to see what Boeing might buy for them off of a sufficiently advanced crackpot while it is still safe to assume such things are minimally portable.
asciilifeform: trinque: i have a 'class 4' laser right in this room
trinque: asciilifeform: fascinating; all I can find re: lasers is labling requirements, etc
cazalla: danielpbarron, it could be the beard, i'd wager there is a higher ratio of men with beards than not in #b-a and higher ratio of men with bikini wax at /r/bitcoin
danielpbarron: new tshirt slogan for nubbins "I AM MP"
danielpbarron: i guess it's the beard or something
cazalla: and here i thought it was nubbins or perhaps even hanbot
danielpbarron: i had to literally de-"bug" .. :/
_FeltPen: excellent. qntra does good work, that site is how I discovered this channel. fwiw.
davout: i presume anchor kids could also work
trinque: mircea_popescu: yeh, in sqlite it's all still broken into parts; I might be able to hax that tonight
davout: thestringpuller: marry a french chick i guess
thestringpuller: davout: how do I get a French passport?
davout: which dates and amounts i crosscheck against... teh webpage :p
mircea_popescu: (also what i meant was, you can check thje address see payments received)
mircea_popescu: davout it can't hurt but i'm about to hop in a car. will make a deed when im back later
mircea_popescu: also i'm very well connected into the old style strong set, so there is that.
davout: as for the signature, how do i verify your wordpress wasn't haxxored?
davout: mircea_popescu: i noticed the decimals thing on mike_c's quote as well :)
ascii_field: i like how plane ticket is more expensive than VIP ticket << where'ya flying from
thestringpuller: i like how plane ticket is more expensive than VIP ticket
mircea_popescu: davout notrly, because i may have to verify people later, in person, whereas you won't have to verify payments later in a different venue.
cazalla: kakobrekla: ascii_field not missing, 'betmoose' is right there, in the first comment. <<< might be the funniest thing i've read for a while
BingoBoingo: http://cl.jroo.me/z3/I/a/d/e/a.baa-Love-between-dog-and-tiger.jpg
PeterL: bleh, maybe I just have no idea what I am talking about
PeterL: right, I am not saying the current system is good
kakobrekla: i always sucked at that.
kakobrekla: re adapter, but i havent really bothered reading http://www.cnet.com/products/apple-usb-c-digital-av-multiport-adapter/

kakobrekla: i heard the 100 dorra device you plug into it can indeed charge at same time as you use usb or whatever it is
jurov: http://kukuruku.co/hub/diy/usb-killer?ModPagespeed=noscript asciilifeform, good addition to cardano, i guess :D
PeterL: asciilifeform:but going back to mathematical notation for a spell - let's write, e.g., a gnarly triple integral, in plain humanlang. << When writing such an integral, I use words in my head as I put down the symbols (eg. integral from 0 to 2pi integral from 0 to 1 integral from 4r^2 to 4 of xdxrdrd(theta) )
asciilifeform: incidentally, my explanation at 14:39:46 is a bit broken but i'll leave it as exercise for the reader.
mircea_popescu: i wonder if there;s a limit of how many you can plop together before you end up in some novel hell
asciilifeform: but i seem to be the only one who (publicly) realized that it is the very thing for building dataflow comp.
mircea_popescu: and this is why i became a theoretical physicist
asciilifeform: my concern because life is short and i want to compute with c-gates.
mircea_popescu: seeing how i'm not an electrical engineer, i'm prone to misinterpret. the boon of ignorance.
mircea_popescu: i'll note you'd have had a much more reliable response had you described rather than shown :)!!!
asciilifeform: because an ordinary logic gate can enter a 'metastable' wedge-state if it is given a 'pathological' input transition (i.e. you try to use the output before the inputs are stable)
asciilifeform: i regard c-gate as among the greatest inventions in 20th c. electronics
mircea_popescu: otherwise, it translates to text quite perfectly well, and plainly : "if and only if". but this is familiar to people trained in humanities more than in cs i guess.
adlai: the only text which i needed was the filename
adlai: antecedent failure... for a moment, parsed that as [firstlook] cite thompson... but i guess they're just journalists
jurov: ^ yes, that i meant by "feeble attempts" to present nontext information
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, my articles are generally preformed and i just tyoe them out.
jurov: i have seen you to mangle several names for example
mircea_popescu: jurov you know this is nonsense. i store thousands of items.
asciilifeform: i promised yesterday to say why i quit the ibm green phosphour terminal; this was why
jurov: i'm trying to get at that... you have to convert text into some internal representation in order to store more thasn 7 items
asciilifeform: i've seen it trotted out as an argument that it is impossible to program in common lisp
asciilifeform: i think he was speaking of the 7 levels of stack thing
mircea_popescu: there's no understanding involved in mashing the bits together. i also teach cooking by example only.
mircea_popescu: i still dunno why you think the current notation is somehow nonverbal.
asciilifeform: i said triple
asciilifeform: adlai: if you're curious, i quit the emulator when i realized that even the text output absolutely trivial on a dataflow machine cannot be rendered in real time on a von neumann box (simply attach dependency graph to each rectangle of video buffer ram)
asciilifeform: adlai: if i could choose just one small idea from my entire set of writings to survive, it would be that 'abstractions push up'
adlai: until then, i'm here
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well then that's all i got, because i've never spent considerable enough time with one to say anything cogent.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: no dice. spent as little time as did with box because a good chunk of it is replicated in my modern 'emacs' - with which i've made just about everything in my adult life
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i will use your own body to defeat you! how long did you spent with the box, and how much did you make in that time ?
asciilifeform: i understand the appeal of 'this is the fucking army, you will paint the snow white until your fucking beg'
adlai: i've not yet encountered something which worked better for me than text, but i'm not sold on it being the global maximum, short of sticking wires in the brain
jurov: i see
mircea_popescu: to be fair, i loved the "visual equalizer" in whatever program first played mp3s on 386s, single session. and obviously computers are for pronz.
kakobrekla: just lucky i guess.
jurov: i have videos and podcasts as anyone, but this?
mircea_popescu: and i think the sort of idiots running around pretending "everything;'s something!11" are doing deaf people a major disfavor.
mircea_popescu: eh, while i can appreciate the theoretical beauty of this "fuck you, i'm a dragon" approach, i do not credit it any. in fact, i think it only exists because the context is of the "fuck you, dragons" nature.
mircea_popescu: (i didn't mean speech as in the sound thereof)
mircea_popescu: an' i'm tellin' you, "visual" is not a complete language.
mircea_popescu: well actually, yeah, this is what i do :) my fucking thesis was on the limits of knowledge.
jurov: but i consider things like drakon editor a feeble attempt led by gut feeling of russina mathematicians
jurov: you don't tell me what i can do and don't. i already combine charts and text for production code
mircea_popescu: i think the bitrate approach misses the fundamental point here. you'll never beat the bitrate of "put out random pixels" with any bitmap approach.
jurov: i'm saying it looks like local optimum and when retina is fully reverse-engineered, better methods may be found
jurov: that's not what i'm saying
jurov: i concede all the other attempts were feeble, but it may not be the ultimate case
assbot: Logged on 10-03-2015 00:04:10; mircea_popescu: i can accept that SOME PEOPLE actually need their monitor to graphics. so make a gamestation. otherwise, we're fucking literate, we're not women, nothing beats text. ever.
cazalla: i'll have to check that one out
cazalla: i enjoyed it but it's not exactly up there amongst my top fav cult films, that spot is claimed by a chinese ghost story and the young and dangerous series
adlai: hmmaybe? i just watched whatever the other sergeant said was a movie we had to watch
