brendafdez: you can say it softly, but people tend to picture it in their minds with
a Hitler voice xD
BingoBoingo thinks bagging
a north Korean chick would be better than Everest
BingoBoingo kinda wants to it the phils before .ar to pick up
a cheap wife
☟︎ brendafdez: There I fell in love with
a Russian girl, it was in 2008, it was awesome that we'd both speak with each other in
a language that was foreign for both, felt special, like being in bitcoin these days (?
☟︎ brendafdez: it was an enjoyable experience when I lived in Germany for
a brief period,
a couple of months, just getting to speak the local language gave me the thrills (I'm weird, I know :P)
brendafdez: tbh, I doubt I'd be able to get
a US tourist visa even, at the moment
BingoBoingo: I've lived through
a warm midwestern spring already where you can smell the pigshit on the beanfields. Not
a thing to relive voluntarily
BingoBoingo: From being in the middle of
a hostile wasteland
BingoBoingo wishes his adversaries in USia would Va
a Chengarse
BingoBoingo: <brendafdez> BingoBoingo over here in brendaland utc -3 is
a good time for stories :P also i hate that it's too hot and can't sleep. I was trying to avoid selling more btc to get
a/c considering winter is supposed to be coming << Bingo is not all powerful like MP, but for the right price could correct all of these problems

BingoBoingo: brendafdez: are you willing to listen to
a story in 3 parts?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: The worst part is I know this had to have been targetted. Someone had to spend
a non-trivial amount of time. I suspect
a partcular name and yet...
☟︎ assbot: Logged on 20-03-2015 00:58:04; asciilifeform: possibly the most dangerous animal to be in the lands of usg (and au, as i understand, is
a kind of target practice range for usg idiocies) is the fella with just enough to be worth skinning, but three or four zeroes short of mircea_popescu-esque atomic dirigible where he can hit back
BingoBoingo: So noone's going to give
a cheer to cheif Joe for making it from rehab to
a nursing home?
trinque: sees whether it's
a key or message, does the right thing
BingoBoingo: Hatorade isn't even
a charitable description of my current beverage.
BingoBoingo so pissed I might have to wander till I find
a coyote just to have
a fair fight as I kick its teeth out.
BingoBoingo: So cheap black box with pf stops all undesirable traffic. Still some poor ass brown fucks (likely) managed to land malware on my mum's computer which would make it
a mega seed node for shows available freely on OTa networks.
ben_vulpes: jurov linked
a thing, some 50 us/mo iirc for dedis
BingoBoingo recognizeds /me very drunk and traveling to India to /smash would be
a challenge
mircea_popescu: which was
a great run,
a point that'll be made obvious by the anger of all the hanger-ons once itstops
brendafdez: it was
a side effect of
a mega-scam << ?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> decimation from what i recall reading on teh topic, the 14nm process was
a total debacle and 10nm is
a theory only thing << This
mircea_popescu: decimation from what i recall reading on teh topic, the 14nm process was
a total debacle and 10nm is
a theory only thing.
mircea_popescu: besides the point. here's mp's prediction : the computer that can be had for
a one ounce of gold in 2025 will be inferior to the computer that can be had for an ounce of gold today, on computation measures.
decimation: you would quite literally need to buy
a plot of farmland in the middle of nowhere
decimation: when you buy
a home on such land, you automatically agree to whatever fucktarded idea was popular in 1982
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform amusingly, some state authority or other decided to cut cables. the city hall nearly caught fire as
a result, and the plan was discontinuied.
decimation: but the probability that
a given set of 100 homes in the the us would be occupied by owners so enlightened..
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah exactly that. for
a few thousand bucks each, it would be trival to make
a small neighborhood isp of great quality
decimation: why is it so hard to run
a fiber to
a neighborhood data center
decimation: data over mains cable is
a terrible idea
mircea_popescu: "The conference begins with
a “Meet & Greet” session from 12:15 – 1:00 pm, followed by speakers from 1:00 – 5:00. After the conference, participants will be encouraged to continue the discussion at
a nearby bar (location announced at the event). The cost to attend the mini-conferences is only $20; only $15 for students, seniors, and people who travel more than 50 miles to get there. Tickets on sale at EventBrit
mircea_popescu: say timmy... anything you could do with these two burnt matcsticks TO CREATE
A BETTER ALPHA CENTAURY FOR MILLIONS OF STARS IN THE GALAXI ?!?!?
mircea_popescu: "What are the Transhuman Goals in the near future? How can these Transhuman ideas permeate the mainstream? Are there ways Transhumanism can assert itself in the political sphere? How can Transhumanist ideas and innovations create
a better world now, for billions of people on Earth?"
decimation: yes, the business model is failing. it still exists, but it is
a victim of its own success in the sense that it has trained the masses to ignore radio
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> "It's wise to keep track of what your mortal enemies do, and there's little that more exemplifies Pure Evil in this world than Eliezer Yudkowsky." << Dude is harmless can't even kill the little girl without
a troll
mircea_popescu: more of
a 90s thing, record label as master of payola.
decimation: the music label's real 'problem solving' would be knowing how to push the right bellybuttons to force
a song to be played in
a large chunk of the existing radio stations/youtubes/ipods
mircea_popescu: not the market. you're
a record label for having 100 singer-songrwiters, that'll make whatever shit, not for having 100mn customers who'll buy whatever you put out.
mircea_popescu: "I started the record label because I wasn’t happy with any of the offers i got from other record labels. It’s
a way I can release my own stuff on my own terms. After the first couple releases people started getting interested in the label. I’ve even started working out deals with some artists. I recently released
a few tracks with Lonnie Dangerous and Collective Conscious Records is getting ready to release an
a decimation: mircea_popescu: one cannot speak with certainty about the whereabouts of
a single electron, even with infinite bezzlars to dispose on the task
mircea_popescu: How do I know I'm the real deal instead of
a crazed nutter? Because I tend to elicit the 'damn, that's so obvious now' reaction from people who elicit that same reaction from people like you.
mircea_popescu: "It annoys me that idiots continue to use "oh wow, that's so amazing" as the measure of creative genius. Or even worse, that they rely on society's direction to determine who is
a creative genius and who isn't. First of all, creative geniuses are RESPECTED and LOOKED UP TO by society. And any position that is looked up to will be coveted by Narcissists who are driven by Glory, such as Richard Feynman who all his life w
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this discussion inspires me to the following ai standard :
a computer that can distinguish code from data is rational.
mircea_popescu: rationality is
a purely linguistic property, it has exactly nothing to do with action.
mircea_popescu: all sorts of fun could be had here. what if i get
a simulation of me to impregnate the actual girl, and then i impregnate the simulation of her.
decimation: I take all of the above writing as evidence that the authors in question have never tried to create
a real simulation on an actual computer
poli_: No idea. I stopped following Lesswrong
a while back.
mircea_popescu: "Roko's basilisk is
a thought experiment that assumes that an otherwise benevolent future artificial intelligence (AI) would torture the simulated selves of the people who did not help bring about the AI's existence. [...] The concept was proposed in 2010 by contributor Roko in
a discussion on LessWrong. Yudkowsky deleted the posts regarding it and banned further discussion of Roko's basilisk on LessWrong after it had
