BingoBoingo: I live atm next to a fucking race track. have slept through races
BingoBoingo: Eh, some weeks I'll sleep 3 hours. Others I'll sleep 12 a day.
mircea_popescu: i dun credit this. you kill a guy, you've killed some guy. there's no "i had to kill him", is there ? there's no "i had to eat this icecream". you eat it, you get fat, you don't, you don't.
mircea_popescu: i don't see it. so in both cases you don't feel like sleeping that week
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform> irregular schedule because you don't feel like sleeping in a given week is rather different from because phone rings and you have to get in a wheeled coffin because otherwise starve. << I prefer to think of my car as an ablative Iron Man suit that protects me from exertion and damage at high speeds
kakobrekla: i dont even have one.
asciilifeform: copper rounds << i thought almost all modern bullets have copper jackets.
BingoBoingo: I prolly should have went to doctor school and been an orthopod
mircea_popescu: she's made all that out of someone dropping the wrong shit i nthe bag ?
BingoBoingo: Well, I dunno that Bitcoin has made it too far into medicine yet aside from that Dr. Goss guy with the MyBitcoin fiasco
kakobrekla: whats with the double o, i dont know
kakobrekla: flor i mean
mircea_popescu: i guess those are just random numbers basically
mircea_popescu: i don't get it. shouldn't 2 th breeze through ?
kakobrekla: i just got this one today.
mircea_popescu: The20YearIRCloud: I'd hope that driving rates below zero and seeing little inflation would be more of a sign to keneysian economists that believe that inflation is solely driven by interest rates << there's no possible significance to keynesians anymore. they're a cult by now, like the collodial silver derps.
mircea_popescu: you mean the ones i linked like two days ago ?!
mircea_popescu: jurov: obv the joke itself wasn't broadcast << yeah i think you can say that. what was it, 70s ?
mircea_popescu: http://i.imgur.com/X2vZyFK.jpg
The20YearIRCloud: I'd hope that driving rates below zero and seeing little inflation would be more of a sign to keneysian economists that believe that inflation is solely driven by interest rates
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: what would it take << beautiful question. let's say we find that chetty has, e.g., more efficient mitochondriae, that eat and shit less for given level of activity. and therefore require less cleanup. then we say 'can't fix this with aftermarket patch.' << I dunno mitochondral replacement might be an interesting experiment
ben_vulpes: HeySteve: i mean i bought mine, and gpg sign it.
HeySteve: I'd think so
The20YearIRCloud: I'll have to dig it up, but there's a few altcoin or places that say they can sign contracts via blockchain
The20YearIRCloud: HeySteve: i'm pretty sure they can, since they've talked alot about contracting via blockchain
ben_vulpes: i too support more sex disease research
rithm: i love menthol cigarettes too
rithm: i'm in good health, i've never broken a bone or had any type of major surgery
jurov: and every time i exercise and get skinner, i get sick
jurov: how do i know? i was diagnosed ch. pneumoniae (lung one, not the sexual one)
jurov: re:smart pill - i think there may yet be surprising discoveries
ben_vulpes: thestringpuller: it's been years and i was never any good :P
thestringpuller: I challenge ben_vulpes to Starcraft!
truffles: it bugs me when i dont resolve things..
truffles: i tried to arrange that chess match with nubbins a while back kinda difficult to do when not in same room..
truffles: i was curious
mircea_popescu: no, i'm eusocial, and i take offense at the dilution of terminology.
mircea_popescu: in other news, http://i.imgur.com/gjnU3b1.jpg
mircea_popescu: and this one is for my mom : http://i.imgur.com/68Uyseu.jpg
chetty: personally I have trouble seeing the difference between "women can't park here." and bakers must bake any cake requested
asciilifeform: though, if i recall, it concerned employment rather than real estate
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i recall that if your torture test ends up affecting one ethnic faction more than another, you get in hot water
mircea_popescu: ha! i beat someone to it for once, even if it was 2nd pass.
asciilifeform: diametric: really? i was told it was banned as 'racist' at one point.
asciilifeform: point not being that i personally relish integral puzzles, but that if it were possible to escape usaschwitz by getting good at them, i'd be inclined to try.
mircea_popescu: i got more $mil than #patience.
asciilifeform: but i'd rather do these integrals every ten minutes, than be asked to come up with $mil.
mircea_popescu: or am i missing something ?
mircea_popescu: what am i supposed to be, 18 ?!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ouch lol. i have nfi
The20YearIRCloud: If i'm going in those areas, i'm getting land for the land, not to build cheap houses
asciilifeform: (perhaps mircea_popescu and i might've forgotten how to grind gnarly integrals mentally, but we still have the neurons to grind with 'macsyma' etc.)
asciilifeform: doesn't have to be integrals. i just picked an example from 'captchas' used on some russian forums.
mircea_popescu: im not even sure i could do integration by hand, outside of recognising the formulaic equivalents.
asciilifeform: those aren't areas I want property in << designated ghettoschwitzes, yes. notice how it is highly illegal to keep out scum other than through real estate pricing, in any part of usa.
The20YearIRCloud: there's areas where I live that they don't care what you put up or what you live in (Sheds included), but those aren't areas I want property in
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i vaguely recall a story of yours, about a chum who went to usa and left in disgust, when he was not permitted to build other than a cardboard house.
mircea_popescu: i hear all the truant tattooed teenagers swarm there
nubbins`: wait, i thought it was unions that did his house-pod things in
rithm: mircea_popescu i totally do not follow the chat and just jump in randomly as if i knew what were going on
The20YearIRCloud: ones i'm looking at are 900-1000
ThickAsThieves: i rented a trailer when i first moced to fl
The20YearIRCloud: I've got a pretty good concept of what i want to do, just need a municipality where I can do it legally
The20YearIRCloud: we're looking at two different lots that have them, i'm pretty darn excited, it all gets me one step closer to being the slumlord I desire
The20YearIRCloud: I found a few singlewide trailers for our company
mircea_popescu: i think i have.
mircea_popescu: shitty trade tho. i wouldn't spend a year in wheelchair for an extra four inches
mircea_popescu: i had no idea.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ah i read "can fix"
mircea_popescu: what if, ok. but i dun believe that has a leg to stand on.
ThickAsThieves: i think eating frequency is a factor as well, metabolism
ThickAsThieves: i do get tired though
ThickAsThieves: i rarely sleep more than 5 for a long time
mircea_popescu: i suspect this is a lot easier for women
mircea_popescu: i guess.
ThickAsThieves: i wonder if people who only sleep 3-5 hrs a day, live more or less waking hours than those sleeping 8+
mircea_popescu: i don't think sleep improvement is impossible per se. but i do think what's herein contemplated is of the level of improving cpu caching with drills, lathes and other mechanical tools.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i dun sell gherkins to gardners and vodka to russians.
nubbins`: now i'm just confused
nubbins`: i thought this was some sort of sarcastic butthurt style reddit
asciilifeform: i'd say yes
nubbins`: an honor, i'm sure
mircea_popescu: i think the more likely producitve approach is psychologic tho
mircea_popescu: i can do that now.
mircea_popescu: well... so what does the pill do again ? allows you to rename things ? i can do that w/o pills :D
mircea_popescu: but anyway. i don't expect improvement here.
mircea_popescu: i read the hypothesis here as "stages 1 and 2 can be safely removed"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform note that for me to disprove your stance, all i need is an example of possible failure, which i've satisfied. for you to support your stance giving a counterexample is not enough.
asciilifeform: not that 'stage 1+2 is a spandrel' is a proven hypothesis, of course. merely that it has not been tested. i suspect that it can be proven.
nubbins`: infamy, i'm already there. but fame? different story
nubbins`: closest i've gotten to fame so far
assbot: John Keefe Pictures - MTV TRL Presents The Jonas Brothers, T.I., Lady GaGa and Boys Like Girls - Zimbio
mircea_popescu: (i also have a bet with some unfriendly parties as to whether that film' gonna be criminal insanity or not, but that's a different story)
ThickAsThieves: <+mircea_popescu> it's a sf story about how the exposure to fractals make brains pop. /// a couple weeks ago i was charting for hours on end, using fib spirals and picking apart fractal patterns, and this repeating melody started in my head, not a song i knew, just a sequence. It was there for a day or two. First time I was musically inspired in a while.
nubbins`: yah, i read that last night
nubbins`: (i know a guy who claims he's had a cube stuck inside his brain for ~17 years. he declines to elaborate)
nubbins`: i feel like there's loot to be made with one of those bitcoin ATMs here, but i also feel like i can't be fucked to manage an ATM
mircea_popescu: "here i shit, here i piss, here i come"
nubbins`: why in the fuck do i know all this?
nubbins`: it's only with the advent of higher temperatures that we've mellowed. 10 years ago i woulda had the guy surgically attached to the kitchen counter
