ben_vulpes: "yes it's entirely
a good idea to lock everyone from ages 8-18 up with each other and nobody else, that won't promptly lead to all sorts of pathologies."
☟︎ ben_vulpes: <cazalla> [13:29] you're up against an immense wave of shit made in china, ipads, tv, public education the constant reinforce that should you buck the status quo, you're
a bad parent << jesus shit if you go *with* the status quo you're
a bad parent
ben_vulpes: <gabriel_laddel> [13:15] the political position of "they're cattle, we're not" is totally
A OK. << and furthermore, the #b-
a creed
jurov: "We are at
a tipping point right now. It's making
a lot more sense for some type of digital cash in the system, that not only saves our government money, but also is
a lot more convenient and secure for individuals to use," the source said.
nubbins`: it's
a lesson disguised as
a novel 8)
nubbins`: close friend of mine. has been in the bughouse at least
a half dozen times
gabriel_laddel: nubbins`: is the guy an actual lunatic or just
a deviant his "family & friends" decided to reformat (in your estimation).
nubbins`: i've thought about release above-quoted tome as an ebook, but it's such
a pain
gabriel_laddel: "Only
a man from Budapest can enter
a revolving door behind you and exit ahead of you" -- jvn
nubbins`: ^ from
a book we published in 2013 ;0
gabriel_laddel: the machines in the shop roar so wildly / that i often forget in the roar that I am ; / i am lost in the terrible tumult, / my ego disappears, i am
a machine. / i work, and work and word without end; / i am busy, and busy and busy all the time. / for what? and for whom? I know not, I ask not! / how should
a machine ever come to think?
nubbins`: cazalla sounds like
a great idea unless your kid turns out to be not particularly cut out for that particular thing
cazalla: will take
a look tmw when of sober mind
gabriel_laddel: By relieving the brain of all unnecessary work,
a good notation sets it free to concentrate on more advanced problems, and in effect increases the mental power of the race. --
A.N. Whitehead
gabriel_laddel: nubbins`: the language doesn't help. For example,
a chinese mathematics undergrad from Peking U. I know thought that using
a computer algebra system to do mathematics was "cheating". Person in question had no notion of "playing with mathematics". This is more of
a cultural thing, but much of human thought is captured in language.
☟︎ gabriel_laddel: nubbins`: the english (or korean!) language maps to computers becuase the characters compose. you'll only have to learn how to talk to
a computer instead of
a whole new system of language + computers.
cazalla: and fucking idiot father's father couldn't speak
a word of english yet 2 generations after can't speak
a word of german
gabriel_laddel: nubbins`: doesn't matter. Let's say that you are
a super good people person but can't verify any of what your computer is doing in the future.
cazalla: me either nubbins` but "nature finds
a way"
cazalla: you're up against an immense wave of shit made in china, ipads, tv, public education the constant reinforce that should you buck the status quo, you're
a bad parent
cazalla: anyway, it's difficult to raise
a kid right these days
gabriel_laddel: "The one thing which Timisoara does consistently and well is failure. In 2007 I attempted to organise an art exhibit, on the terms that I was going to pay, in cash, for everything involved. They didn't manage to do it. Last year, I attempted to support
a nascent local party, by paying for
a quarter's rent and other expenses (
a quarter ton of alcohol, mostly) for
a bunch of self-styled neonazi local kids. I pulled th
nubbins`: and we all know that
a society of hedonists is
a good society indeed
☟︎ gabriel_laddel: the political position of "they're cattle, we're not" is totally
A OK.
☟︎☟︎ gabriel_laddel: nubbins`: what, you're
a "attractive-ist" for only fucking hot gurlz?
nubbins`: just "this door should be closed!" right after you walk through it sounds
a bit silly
nubbins`: since, cough, every white person in australia is either an immigrant or
a recent descendent thereof
cazalla: still, i can't help but feel affection for
a homogeneous society like japan.. fucking mudslimes and other ethnics have destroyed australia within
a generation
☟︎ cazalla: anyway, one might argue, and i did try, that /pol/ is
a short stop otw to #b-
a ☟︎ gabriel_laddel: "until 23andme suggested i was
a traitor to the cause"
cazalla: and at the time (this is prior to #b-
a) i thought i could see such things too
cazalla: haha yeah, /pol/ got me mixed up with that shit until 23andme suggested i was
a traitor to the cuase (if 23andme is to be believed)
cazalla: but i will say.. these red pill dickheads on reddit that mourn for
a lack of virginal wife to have
a family with aka
http://i.imgur.com/zEEL7S4.jpg i've had the frigid virginal wife and the whore girlfriend who sucked any dick within arms reach and i will swear black and blue that the whore is far more satisfying despite the 24/7 drama
gabriel_laddel: "I have
a new favorite douchebag profile pic: Enthralling My Fucking Audience. This one is phenomenal; you’ve probably seen it somewhere amongst your fucking friends. It’s where
a Very Important Dbag (VIDb) is captivating above-mentioned audience solely through the power of his personal presence. Jesus Christ, the fucking hubris. The fucking insane, idiotic hubris. Examples culled from an eleven-second scrub of
cazalla: and i can't take the kid.. needs
a mum as much as he does
a father.. i don't go for that single parent shit
cazalla: i could leave her in
a heart beat, but not my son
cazalla: the big mistake i made was getting
a woman pregnant prior to living with her.. things were all fine and dandy while i had my own place and could fuck her and send her home after the fact
☟︎ cazalla: she's
a good woman, he's
a good kid
nubbins`: closest thing i have to
a mancave is
a FULLY FUNCTIONING AND FULLY APPOINTED SILKSCREEN PRINTING STUDIO IN MY BASEMENT
cazalla: and i am stuck using fucking electrum since then because for some reason, since bitcoin-qt 0.10.0 came out, my old 0.8.3, 0.8.6 throws errors and i can't fully sync and even lame attempt to try 0.10.0 falls flat.. i think maybe memory is fucked though unrelated, memtest86 throws
a bunch of errors
☟︎☟︎ cazalla: felt
a little bad about that as i was trying to talk BingoBoingo into
a bet over the bali nine executions to come on account i think they'll go free
cazalla: so even if i was intersted, sober cazalla might not be as willing to pay
a premium
cazalla: you guys criticise the mancave but seriously, when the missus and the kid push you out of the masterbedroom due to lack of sleep and then push you out the kids room which was turned into makeshift computer room but needs it back because apparently
a pig pen isn't big enough for him now, you might appreciate the man cave aka cold ass garage
☟︎ nubbins`: cazalla i thought about
a "how to spot scams" poster or similar
cazalla: i did not mention this due to criticism of mancave.. but as i sat in my recently acquired mancave, i thought it would be
a suitable spot (have relocated back to shared computer/craft room on account autumn is here and mancave is too fucking cold)
cazalla: nubbins`, u evar gonna make posters again? i saw the last edition was fetching
a decent price on bitcointalk
cazalla: worse, TaT masquerades as bitcoinassets on it and is
a mod to boot
☟︎ cazalla:
a) can't get their version of !up to speak
mircea_popescu: on the positive side however : this is the closest you can get to china commercially without getting close to them in
a political sense.
mircea_popescu: they don't have
a drydock. or
a car factory. or
a truck factory. or
a plane factory.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you don't understand. argentina is trying to support
a romania-level living standard on the basis of... soy exports.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform btw, is the article of faith that jesus is coming on
a great atomic dirigible from the sky to take us to the other planet and smite the unbelievers ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform writing
a book of actual economy in moscow 1960 was equally titanical and demoralizing. or to get back to earth :
a book on actual psychopathology in leningrad, bout same time.
mircea_popescu: he was actually, in comparative terms, more of
a noted expert in the field of safe cracking than in the field of physics
mircea_popescu: really, find me
a piece of code written with
a clear contrite consideration of "people will read this tomorrow"
mircea_popescu: i don't code. principally because i can't be arsed to do
a good job of it.
decimation: mircea_popescu: just like (nearly?) everyone who opens
a bitcoin exchange succumbs to the temptation to run 'fractional'
mircea_popescu: anyway, just to add : the people who have come before us have embedded into the very history of computing such burning, enraged contempt for us, that really damnatio is too good
a fate.
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah, might as well produce
a pci-e card under s.nsa label
mircea_popescu: as far as i'm concerned, breaking any ansi standard is
a net gain.
decimation: I can see why you would want to ensure the security of your drive, but that's
a seperate matter
mircea_popescu: i want, in this order
a)
a fully b-
a computing stack for bitcoin ; b) utter disrespect for antecessors made manifest.
decimation: I guess I don't see much point, considering that even having
a sata bus implies you have
a computer
decimation: not saying it's
a bad idea, just amusing
mircea_popescu: right. in which line : since all hdds come reflashable anyway, how hard would it be to rape
a ssd like we're raping the pogo, i wonder ?
mircea_popescu: as in, trivially : make the sectors the size of
a block
assbot: Logged on 13-03-2015 04:31:31; trinque: this fs/db hybrid has been talked about for
a damn long time
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i see where i went wrong vis-
a-vis ibid/idem now.
trinque: how else do you ask
a computer an actual question?
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: blockchain queries are
a business logic concern!
ben_vulpes: <decimation> ben_vulpes: it strikes me that
a relational db is
a bit 'heavy' for storing the blockchain tree << i want to say "select * from outputs where output.spent_transaction is null;"
decimation: ben_vulpes: it strikes me that
a relational db is
a bit 'heavy' for storing the blockchain tree
ben_vulpes: i want data i can query with
a 'sane' language
decimation: ben_vulpes: the new hotness these days is some kind of nosql running on
a cluster
decimation: ben_vulpes: postgres will make
a decent fs
