theory as why he didn't say "decentralized systems lab plagiarized #trilema" ?
Framedragger: re.
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-15#1644022 -- i don't really see where
the plagiarism is. honest.
the
title ("collider")?
the content (research had been done by monero project itself some
time ago; *plenty* of discussion of RingCT outside #t (unless you define "discussion outside #t is not discussion", in which case you are right..tautologically))?
☝︎ pete_dushenski: also run moar #artdao
http://archive.is/Sq9db << basically a way for js engineers
to put even more starving artists out of work. man, it's stiff competition at
the bottom
shinohai: pete_dushenski: running V with no arguments gives
the version number

this error ? my vtron is barfing
this up even
though my gpgtron says it's a good sig.

mod6: will follow up again
tomorrow.
mod6: need more information
to go on.
mod6: now why you saw
the INVALID seal message im not
too sure. could be you have a stale key of his, or perhaps
the seal wasn't quite named correctly.
mod6: In
the new version, if a vpatch doesn't have *ALL* antecedents present in
the flow, it is dropped on
the floor.
mod6: anyway, if you have alf's most updated key,
the vpatch verfifies
the seal for me.
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Have you
tried
to refer
to
them with different pronouns in an effort
to appease
them? Maybe instead of "tron"
they prefer "tractor" or "dragonbane"

☟︎☟︎ mod6: also, eatblock
test is no around 411K bocks and into blk0034... so should be done in a day or
two.
mod6: ANd at
the end of
the whole
thing, will update
that blog page with all of
the data.
mod6: Running another
test against
the same phyiscal fg right now (figure I'll do
three per unit).
BingoBoingo: In other news, Carfentanil seems
to be
the culprit in substance not named opiate cases per Qntra's "Sophostic
Trendalitics"(TM)(R)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the process would benefit
teh extant swedes immensely. clearly
they've no business around anyway.
mats: mircea_popescu:
the
trilema one re:
the penultimate antisocial man
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo who
the fuck wants syrian children anyways. <<
Tyrone wants what he wants
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's practically like knocking retarded kid upside
the head by now. oh, his mommy
told him he can do anything he wants!111
mats: reminds me of
the story of
the bank robber

too soon
to uncover
the full story of
the liberation of western Mosul." orly ? i guess what he means is "with
the isis army being outnumbered 10:1 and it still managing
to inflict blistering, humiliating if regular
tactical defeats on
the ill prepared, bumbling invading force, it becomes clear
that
the only victors in
the engagement were
the so calle
mircea_popescu: the notion
that usg-alike drones are "soldiers" is just as laughable
today as it always was. chickens, not men,
to be slaughtered as such.
mats: what a massacre...
ten dudes
shinohai went
to "Mozart Festival" in Atlanta couple years back, was a horrid affair with a highschool band masquerading as "Chamber Orchestra"
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo who
the fuck wants syrian children anyways.
mircea_popescu: dudes cost
the usg more
than any engagement since vietnam cost it.
this puts
them above
the chechens, as far as successful unalligned powers go.

☟︎ BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Not brave enought
to risk fingers adjusting
trigger
tension on conibears?
mircea_popescu: in other lulz,
trump's
tv scripts crew is engineering a "100th day govt shutdown". reality has over fiction
the enduring advantage
that fiction can't be
this fucking ridiculous.
mircea_popescu: thus
therefore, capitalism + democracy = houses big enough
to not need cleaning.
mircea_popescu: "a house can be big enough
to never need cleaning" follows sylogistically from accepting
those premises.
mircea_popescu: one of
the lulzier downtails of "bigger is better" and "better is anything you wish it
to be".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
that's a great definition. it also covers
things like molluscs in nature, but whatever, acceptable collateral damage.
mircea_popescu: imo
the exact same drive is behind "let's build ai
to make friends" and "let's make use of
the higher
transistor count
to reflexivitize
the cpu". it's a sort of
triumf des willens all of its own.
mircea_popescu: possibly. it's certainly implicit in "how can we make
this more '''truthful'''" or however you'd put it,
truer-er./
mircea_popescu: none of
this "processor watching
the processor process" bs.
mircea_popescu: it worked at
the
time specifically because early micros were a lot closer
to signal processors
than
to cpus.
mircea_popescu: in fact, a lot of
the issues of software
today can be
traced
to
that early "can
this machine do nice light blinkers?!?!"
mircea_popescu: yes but
this is not a particularly cogent argument becausae
the people writing for
the video effects don't particularily care about corectness.
mircea_popescu: whereas
the "define screensized memory object, do bit
toggles on it, flip it into video range" was exemplified by just about any early 90s product,
take your pick.
mircea_popescu: i know of no one who in practice showed
this
theory of yours.
mircea_popescu: draw
the page as a memory area and flip it into
the video buffer zone was
the state of
the art iirc.

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-22#1647496 << had
terrible video libs at
the
time
this was all happening (mp's hs cs class was in pascal, for instance). so kids who were bright hated it because couldn't make little amiga-like platformers on
their 386s.
mircea_popescu: it's not marmalade in any sense. ro notion of marmalade is, no sugar added, plum generally, if you make it
thin it's
the basis for alcohol (that's how you make
tuica, from distilling fermented
thin plum marmalade) and if you make it
thick it's a sweet.
mircea_popescu: shinohai it's
this particular preserve with ~whole fruit
Framedragger: (and scottish add deep fried mars bars
to
the diet)
shinohai: mircea_popescu: Is dulceata similar in .ro as in es
to signify `sweet` ?
Framedragger: how did you come
to
this, uh, query, if i may ask??
mircea_popescu: ya but it's not
the same, as evidenced by
the fact
that as a 10 yo i could eat a proper sized jar of say apricot jam (800g) but barely made it
through a small (240g) jar of dulceata de piersici.
Framedragger: in .lt you normally also say what kind of uogienė (strawberry, apple, etc.), but i guess
that's normal/conventional anyway
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: hah! well, i don't know any colloquial / actually local words for
this other
than
the (generic boring), you know, "jam".
