mircea_popescu enters into the record that had naphex moved to argentina last year he wouldn't have had pneumonia this year.
mircea_popescu: !v assbot:mircea_popescu.unrate.Naphex:9e4f9cfd95defb9dc76ce1349ebd1fad72a49ef0d1d24bbb7f22bb7cfd34bbfd
mircea_popescu: i dunno dude, all my suits were 48 for 20 years, now i'm doing 52.

mircea_popescu: thye also have "higos con almendras", a cube of fig guts with an almond on top

mircea_popescu: if i ever meet his grandkids that;s what ima tell them to call him!
mircea_popescu: afaik kakobrekla has 0 involvement with resolutions on bitbet
mircea_popescu: the alternative is exactly one, and it's known as "chaos" or generally other-bad-things.
mircea_popescu: this is the absolute requisite for men to live in a world "as they wish it to be".
mircea_popescu: not thast it never happened : it is not possible for it to have happened.
mircea_popescu: this incidentally is exactly how bitbet works : once a bet has been resolved,
mircea_popescu: (it's deeper : that any sort of process is broken if it has to be constantly revised by "emerging" metaphysical considerations. basically he ruled that yes, we do release freeze.)
mircea_popescu: at some point the question moves from "whether this man ought to be punished" to "whether this man will be punished".
mircea_popescu: (for the curious minds reading logs : the reason innocence CAN NOT, in any system, no matter how devised, ever be a bar to punishment is that innocence is a metaphysical concept, whereas punishment is physical. no matter what happens, the former will have to be processed, which is the name for moving across realms. no matters what happens this process will be lossy.)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not after it's been put through the blender.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you can already fingerprint "smart"phones by the grav detector things
mircea_popescu: whereas if done on camera, much less rng, much less variation
mircea_popescu: (as the processing is usally done in gimp on a linux box)
mircea_popescu: seems more likely they want to be able to identify people/cameras , which raw does not allow
mircea_popescu: or is this a tacit admission that they don't have any valuable footage anyway.
mircea_popescu: so if i have footage that's valuable reuters aims not to buy it because of bureaucratic considerations ?
mircea_popescu: i have nfi what that reuters retardation is supposed to be.
mircea_popescu: it survives in romanian as a flavourful reflexive verb. to belabour oneself.
mircea_popescu: because lo and behold! romanians invented coke machine before you did.
mircea_popescu: this is like proposing to make a book for "intelligent people that aren't necessarily literate" cca 1215. orly ?
mircea_popescu: the last time someone could be useful in a professional capacity but not a programmer was perhaps 1935 ?
mircea_popescu: mostly because it had been dead so long it was stinking up the place.
mircea_popescu: and somewhere in the horse, you can hear a distance squeal.
mircea_popescu: possibly all the trouble since then entirely rests on mp's pathologically complex misunderstanding of what that original guy actually meant.\
mircea_popescu: ironically, my foray into bitcoin was started by random guy on the internet [at the time hadn't used irc at all in decade +] insisting i move into his "GPG" castle.
mircea_popescu: (this, incidentally, is the aspirational 2nd eigen state for "art", as hoped-for by various [failed, necessarily] artistes throughout the ages.)
mircea_popescu: phf except people on a regular basis DO share others' castles in the sky. it's just that they don't happen to be the very castles people hold most dear.
mircea_popescu: armies move because of the interplay of production and consumption. talk to the traders.
mircea_popescu: exactly. sort-of like trying to achieve military results by "asking the troops".
mircea_popescu: ironially, "programmers themselves" play exactly no part in all of this.
mircea_popescu: now, js.1 is how it's sold to users ; but js.2 is why it's appealing to business. and for a long time - really, as long as rsm seemed to have teeth - this appeared to them (understandably) as a required pontoon bridge to have, jic.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i suspect the thing with js is like so : it has two eigenstates. js.1 is "well, kinda useful to do some tasks browsewr side". as exemplified by say the trilema text select thing. way cheaper to do that client side than server side. js.2 however is "deploy code you can update yourself". ie, no need to ask people to update it for you.
mircea_popescu: btcdrak next we're going to follow what the solidcoin guy says ? who's next, atlas ? taaki ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, asciilifeform, the objection is not to the "word problem" abstraction cast over the world. it's with the apparent expectation this does something to the world. that's all.
