mircea_popescu: +i
mircea_popescu: i just walked into that didn't .
mircea_popescu: this old world sort of nonsense can not endure my friends! i am making a company that will revolutionize drawing!
asciilifeform: i.e., instrument with user interface of a pencil, but somehow not the functionality of pencil.
jurov: i was intrigued why it isn't possible for computer to keep asking for missing pieces until the task is fully defined
mircea_popescu: i don't readily remember the names of all the women i've been with either.
decimation: jurov: agreed. I'm always having to consult find, grep, xargs, etc man pages
mircea_popescu: decimation i think the only reason it isn't a solved problem is this sort of argument : http://contravex.com/2014/08/26/infosec-education-because-stephane-bortzmeyer-is-lazy-and-im-not/ ie "usability". once you add that fuzzy requirement smart people get bored and leave,
decimation: this is true, seems like it should be a 'solved problem'. I think some implementations of 'hadoop' do exactly this
asciilifeform: 'i even made a pony-monkey hybrid to please you! what's with all the screaming. you like monkeys, you like ponys. maybe i used too many monkeys... isn't it enough that i ruined a pony making a gift for you!'
mircea_popescu: i'd like a fluffy one! :D
mircea_popescu: i meant "for any script"
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah I agree, 'djvu' with a text-track would be a pretty good format
decimation: to be fair I think there are methods of using good compression with pdf too. My main point yesterday was about searching the text, for which pdfs are not necessary. after all, if you ocr it, then it ought to exist as a .txt file
mircea_popescu: srsly when i saw you discussing indexing and searching pdf documents i thought this is what it was for - all that crap is pdf-digitized.
mircea_popescu: "i dunno... maybe stop sending niggers ?" ☟︎
Apocalyptic: I don't
mircea_popescu: i meant the joke
Apocalyptic: mircea, I'm asking whether it's worth a read, I don't have nor know it
decimation: when I went there was a fellow there who apparently was part of the crew that would enter the underground 'cave' formed by an explosion
decimation: in vegas off the strip there is a 'nuclear testing museum: I recommend going if you find yourself there.
asciilifeform: and i can hardly imagine that other nations didn't crib from their recipe.
Apocalyptic: It's more out of curiosity than out of potential usefull procedures I may apply in the future
Apocalyptic: oh, I see
Apocalyptic: i've probably wasted more time on lesser occupations
asciilifeform: (i.e., how to bury, given that you will only be able to find the location again using geographical clues - and trees, buildings, etc. can disappear over the decades)
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah I was about to point that out, it would be much simpler to rent a 'safehouse' and fill with nukes
decimation: I suppose if they were close enough to cities that would be feasible
asciilifeform: if i recall, he also suggested they be placed in the 'great lakes'
asciilifeform: i later learned that v. n. chelomei (famous soviet rocket designer) proposed the placement of atomic bombs near u.s. east costs using a scheme much like this. (official story - it was vetoed as barbaric) ☟︎
decimation: I suppose if the purpose in hiding the object is simply to escape the gulag, it would be better to start planning your escape now
Namworld: So I was browsing wikipedia for fun, when I found something funny. Can you spot it? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nocturnal_animals
The20YearIRCloud: i guess i missed hydrophone part
asciilifeform: i don't know who al might've shared the recipe with, but u.s. navy funded almost exactly this scheme as a mega-project a few years ago.
asciilifeform: here's a recipe i shared with al schwartz once
decimation: The20YearIRCloud: When I say "allodial title" I mean something like having the right to arrest anyone - including government employees - on your property
The20YearIRCloud: ND and WY i think are two states that allow a person to buy absolute land, with no further taxes involved outside of day of sale, with no government recourse
The20YearIRCloud: i look to what people did during the yugoslovian war for modern examples of waht , and what not to do
The20YearIRCloud: Granted nothing I own has substantial value
The20YearIRCloud: thus why i hate the idea of safe deposit boxes
chetty: <decimation> well the good part is I got a lot of work done on Eulora today :)
decimation: chetty: no problem, I always look forward to the interesting nuggets you have on offer
chetty: decimation, my net was down, I am behind on my reading today
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: re: 'coinbase insurance' post - little story. recently i had occasion to rent a box at a bank (storage of various paperwork for firm.) the contract was a hilarious read. bank only insures a box for up to 25k usd. and specifically excludes damage from robbery, fire, water... virtually anything. ☟︎☟︎
fluffypony: yeah I would imagine so
fluffypony: csshih: question - since my one SC51 has grown legs, I'm looking at replacing them with the SC52d. any thoughts? what's the alternative for AA singles?
Vexual: i see ykyo there lurking
RagnarDanneskjol: I have all the modules sitting around somewhere - will get them to you this weekend
jurov: ;;later tell MolokoDesk if tao_jones has working replacement of ;;calc I am all for having it here
Vexual: i dunno why he's crying, outcomes coulda been worse
cazalla: i guess he wasn't behind 7 proxies
Vexual: i think the kangaroo scrotum coin purses are made in oz, but largely, yes
Naphex: http://i.imgur.com/gDohTUB.png - I call this artistic chart, "Saved By The Cache" :)
pete_dushenski: ey looks like stephane dun approved of my translation. i'll take it!
punkman: I'm not really sure about the taxonomy
cazalla: punkman, no but i'd like to
cazalla: i figured like 1/4 acre or something
Vexual: i think its just south of 10 bucks a kilo
Vexual: my butcher has rabbit, and i know the value, im talking of value adding
cazalla: i planned to do bees in the spring but i'm putting it off until we move, i can't adhere to the regulations they set for doing it here
cazalla: i sell you?
cazalla: when we move, i want to build some type of enclosure so they can run around and effectively be wild
Vexual: i guess you dont have that problem in your backyard
cazalla: i think it's due to calici and costs of vax
cazalla: dunno, i did read the industry is dead, something like 100 farms reduced to 2 due to costs
cazalla: Vexual, they do, a breeder i bought a british giant from drove all the way to tassie to get them from a woman that breeds them there
cazalla: Vexual, i wonder if i can bring them in
Vexual: not i
pete_dushenski: “Because I was afraid.”
pete_dushenski: “Why’d you do it?” I asked, as I slapped a pair of Oikos™ Greek Yogurt Presents Handcuffs® on the guy.
pete_dushenski: “All right, all right!” the man yelled, throwing down his weapon. “I give up, cop! I confess: I took the bitcoins.”
cazalla: tbh i'd fuck sydney/melbourne off and go to tassie
cazalla: winters are a little colder here, i've lived in sydney (maroubra) and that's the only difference, anecdotal of course
pete_dushenski: lol so i hear
Vexual: i'll assume you've been drinking all the martinis, and have or want a girl or boy on your arm
pete_dushenski: <ben_vulpes> also: if it ain't about money i go/nowhere i'm nailed to the floor << too good!
ben_vulpes: "I respectfully question how you can authoritatively champion mining code written primarily in another language entirely." << because fuck the reference implementations.
ben_vulpes: " My dislike of other mining nodes is a consequence of directly correlated forking dangers of alternative mining code, and I think we both know that." << one of these days i'm going to get left behind as reward for my courtesy of loyalty to the power rangers i can feel it coming but maybe if i complain a lot in public maybe the inevitable won't happen
decimation: perhaps I could change the bitcoin addresses to something friendly :) http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-01-2014#435478 ☝︎
decimation: yeah, I agree. for me, it's motivating when I see how shitty its output looks, and it makes me want to translate more
mircea_popescu: i was (in retrospect, mistakenly) taking an "observable" approach to "same thing"
decimation: asciilifeform: I thought apple was trying to get on board with LLVM
asciilifeform: not only google, but apple, and microshit before them, turned away from traditional 'gcc' suite and proclaimed elaborate crud in its place. i could only ever assume - for ease of 'thompsoning' people.
mircea_popescu: as i was saying earlier : so has erryone.
mircea_popescu: which is why i took exception to the "why cant we all get along" derpage from midnightmagic yest.
asciilifeform: i must confess that the conformal/power-ranger war does not concern me personally, because 'happy is the man who has one leg, one sock doesn't tear, one boot isn't needed' - and i intend to solve the pertinent problem with own hands before it begins to concern me personally.
mircea_popescu: so people have issues with humor, what. i dun care, you dun care, foggedaboutit
justusranvier: Oh that? Of course I can see how it's funny. The pathetic part is how people lie about what happened.
justusranvier: I'm not sure what you mean.
mircea_popescu: i dun see it.
kanzure: i see
mircea_popescu: decimation i actually don't know any personally.
mircea_popescu: She wasn't talking to me, but I could hear her saying, "It wasn't supposed to be like this, they're so ugly, it's just so wrong." << woman met the orcs, hasn't even been raped yet.
kakobrekla: anyway i go.
asciilifeform: many american 'public' unis publish complete lists of who's paid what - where i live, this is required by law
kakobrekla: <asciilifeform> decimation: this almost happened when cheap 'xerox' copiers appeared < when i was in high school you could legally copy 70% of the book .... at once.
decimation: for mac desktop I've found that "Devonthink" works well to search/index pdfs
mircea_popescu: so i see coinroll add on bitbet, click, decide to try it out.
mircea_popescu: "i've been married for 28 years your honor! ENOUGH!"
mircea_popescu: i wonder what the divorce rate would look like if it worked the other way areound. doing it five times a week = +1 inch a year.
