adlai: i guess they just don't take to twitter

adlai: all self-identifying feminists whom i know irl have loud vocal problems with anybody who so much as looks at a woman breastfeeding in public

mircea_popescu: i'm all in favour of both. "oh but mp, what if being useful only reinforces how we're really objects"

mircea_popescu: "i am on the internet and can't write out asshole"

adlai: which is why i'm not using any sort of support vector neural network kernelized perceptron mumbo jumbo

adlai: that is some winning on volatility, i'd even say that it nearly perfectly pwned that hour of trading... now let's get the other 23

adlai: infantile as it is, sometimes fortune favors the bold, and scalpl does beautiful shit like http://i.imgur.com/2WBFwjy.png

mats: nah, i browsed the post history. definitely a reader.

mircea_popescu: i liked teh prose.

mats: i think we may have a #b-a reader on our hands

BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: I lack a crystal ball, but when I say poverty makes the distance too much I mean people are walking their commutes.

phillipsjk: Apparently they attacked my while I was sleeping last night :P

BingoBoingo: I do though seriously mean mirco over micro. Very similar, just poverty makes the distance too much.

phillipsjk: OK, I have a 40GB packet capture ready if I get DDOS'ed.

pete_dushenski: and i love the quizzical look that people give me when i suggest precisely that

pete_dushenski: sandstone isn't cheap to work with i gues

mircea_popescu: they're monolinguistic, and stuck i nthe wrong language.

mircea_popescu: moldysnizz: I've accepted my new identiy as the snizz < so get in the assbot wot then

BingoBoingo: Now if sponsored I would happily take a crap on their front stoop. As Cartman offers, that is the best way to get an undesirable neighbor to leave.

BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: I'll wait until Ars fires their second bullet at GAW at least.

pete_dushenski: "hey guise, i just noticed something funny and i know you're gonna laugh at this too"

mircea_popescu: " I wanted and needed the information in its "natural raw" state and in as comprehensive a volume as it was practical for me to make full use of it. But the most important thing about this move was to guard against the chance of intelligence being used to influence or to lead the President into unwise decisions—and I thought it was necessary that the President do his own thinking and evaluating."

mircea_popescu: yeah i recall them.

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I think hanbot was still on Bitcointalk long enough to shit on them. Basically the same deal except explicitly Chinese.

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i so love that story :D

asciilifeform: i ran it off sd card

asciilifeform: 'Podobny explicitly states in a recorded phonecall that he works for the SVR, and even expresses their disappointment that spycraft was not what they dreamed of. Podobny told his colleague, “The fact that I’m sitting with a cookie right now at the … chief enemy spot. Fuck! Not one point of what I thought then, not even close.”'

BingoBoingo: Ironically Anna Chapman resembles local family named Chapman I grew up with. Father was chess coach. Inexplicably bad at playing for his knowledge of the game.

asciilifeform: (i forget actual name)

tripleslash: damn, I was hoping it was being reclaimed from its original perjorative form

BingoBoingo: tripleslash: I spent this past weekend in an IRL version of reddit. If you are brave enough next year can pass the deets.

tripleslash: I'd argue man with singular wife and children is queer.

asciilifeform: i should like to hear tomorrow that one of you folks built it

asciilifeform: i'm still mindfucking over that it weights only 4m

asciilifeform: what i said, ye

asciilifeform: i'ma leave it go

asciilifeform: for a minute i almost thought it was all a waste of time.

decimation: with that I bid good evening gentlemen

asciilifeform: i never saw it in usa.

asciilifeform: oh before i forget

asciilifeform: mod6: i sent it

mod6: <+asciilifeform> mod6 check plz ? << i don't see anything in the mailing list

adlai: mircea_popescu: scalpl has existed for less than a year. puberty rarely starts in less than a decade. by this metric, i'm optimistic!

decimation: asciilifeform: I imagine the pogo is slow as balls

asciilifeform: and i suppose by assuming a 32bit mysteryturd for the type.

decimation: I had to do that to make it build on openbsd

decimation: i remember that dep. hell

asciilifeform: i was gonna post my armv5 elf

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i know. im prepping your packager so you don't have to do it yourself.

Apocalyptic: re self-centered cultures, I recently stumbled upon Bridgewater, a hedge fund that mainstream media often described as "a cult". It shares several concepts with b-a

mircea_popescu: danielpbarron drop an address i'll send you a few dollah so you can buy yourself a few pogos to try it all out on.

adlai: mircea_popescu: the problem is that i'm not certain what's the best arrangement. the "fx bot" currently runs on 3 btc/fiat exchanges, but that's not necessarily the best place to run it, and i'm not sure that i'm the best person to handle the "get btc from investors to exchange and back" side of things

asciilifeform: well anyway, i'm back to putting patches on my site

Dimsler: mircea_popescu, LOL i know

decimation: Destructive War, he mentions a foreign traveler in 1864 who asked some random American to explain the war. "It's the conquest of America by Massachusetts," was the answer. Massachusetts, of course, later went on to conquer first Europe and then the entire planet, the views of whose elites as of 2007 bear a surprisingly coincidental resemblance to those held at Harvard in 1945. But I digress.)"

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i thought you just said it worked a moment ago ?

asciilifeform: i think i was the first one to actually run something from the www output end of turdatron today

mircea_popescu: Dimsler yeah, "trade" is not "give me free shit while i tan". how did that silly quote go, "And so on. The three men ended up working like dogs, using all the skills developed by trial and error in their first few weeks – building a hut, fish, trying to get the women to forage. The women continued to bitch and sunbathe."

Dimsler: decimation, i can assure you most of the larger cities are pretty much dumps

decimation: as an american, I see germany as a theme park filled with stuffed animals, spouting libtard-ideology

mircea_popescu: adlai dude, you're making yourself impossible to follow. i thought you wrote a fx bot that works on 2-3 exchanges currenty and you're looking to finance it.

Dimsler: decimation, i believe simon heffer rejuvenated that idea back in 2011

asciilifeform: i'm not seeing any output.

mircea_popescu: i think it's so tense and comma-tose because you're too tight. gotta learn to relax without liquor.

BingoBoingo: Yeah. Amazingly all but the last two paragraph happened before I acquired vodka.

adlai: i'm familiar with the overall idea, although i couldn't recite its returns from memory

assbot: Logged on 28-01-2015 05:24:23; BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I think adlai mentioned it assuming an intermediary being necessary not knowing that MPIF is direct.

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I think adlai mentioned it assuming an intermediary being necessary not knowing that MPIF is direct. ☟︎

BingoBoingo: decimation: The point is I am the one who imposes time onto the manifold of the unintuited world and not the reverse.

adlai: mircea_popescu: it really depends what that capital is for. for funding further development of the bot? not much, feature by feature, i'm not looking for a vc-style investment. for testing the algorithm on larger amounts, to see how the strategy scales up? right now, two digit btc sum, more as progress permits.

BingoBoingo: decimation: Only hourly corrections for DST, but I do that based on raw feels.

gribble: adlai was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 1 day, 11 hours, 51 minutes, and 35 seconds ago: <Adlai> 'want' is a strong word. i'm suggesting it as a possibility, to an intrepid [General] Manager

asciilifeform: guess what i've got.

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Latest qntra piece I took the opportunity to empty the venom sacks a bit on new Derpolis. Pete apparently leik'd it.

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: About 500 ml of 80 proof vodka tonight. Making up for the bender this past weekend could have been. After reddit IRL I need to clean the slate with a strong solvent.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's why i laid into him. he wanted micro precision somehow magically over macro spans.

mircea_popescu: i can see a whole swathe of applications for which it would be.

decimation: mircea_popescu: the question, as I stated earlier, is whether 'rotation of the earth about axis' or 'number of vibrations of cesium' is your timebase

asciilifeform: i say braindamaged.

asciilifeform: was arrived at somewhat reluctantly, as i understand.

decimation: yeah, I am inaccurately using the word 'accuracy'

mircea_popescu: (i'm not disputing the timing of subatomic events)

TheNewDeal: the poker room I just played at had automagic card shufflers

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i have one. they work.

danielpbarron: TheNewDeal, not frequently.. but i host a cash game every saturday

mod6: asciilifeform: what size display do you ya have? i checked it out with lynx too, looks pcool.

BingoBoingo: decimation: You forget I am one of the luck ones who sleeps ad libitum, who through the #b-a logs primarily judges time in GMT in spite of proximity to 90 degrees west

mod6: so i added the file direct to the website, along with the sig file

mod6: ok, so i sent the build.sh script in plaintext with a detached sig to the mailing and it just never showed up. lol

asciilifeform: why should i move my epoch clock for a political fiction.

mod6: you know, before I did any of that, i thought about doing a detached sig, but then i wondered if something really funky would happen, like it would get somehow added to the patch-list automagically, and it doesn't belong there either.

asciilifeform: i did warn.

asciilifeform: or am i the only one who actually tried to run what is up on that site.

mod6: anyway, so the script that i re-posted to the list wont work

danielpbarron: i also have the sudo mastery book, although i haven't cracked it open yet

danielpbarron: i also have the book BingoBoingo recommended

trinque: BingoBoingo: I'll grab Absolute OpenBSD, ty

trinque: BingoBoingo: fired it up in a VM and felt like I sort of knew my way around

decimation: eh. I've played with openbsd - it's not a very big ecosystem

BingoBoingo: trinque: Before wiping best to play with OpenBSD on some designated toy hardware. I can not recommend the Micheal W Lucas book enough.
