BingoBoingo: Actual computer might be worth the space to house it in
a shipping container in the yard
decimation: chips can be reversed, but only after
a long and painful process
kakobrekla: can you print
a chip < but cant check it
mircea_popescu: <decimation> what about bitcoind on an asic? << yeah, but only after you actually got
a book can you print
a chip
decimation: asciilifeform: do I detect
a subtle stab at Stalin for his meddling with Stierlitz's orders?
decimation: why would you glom your clock circuit onto
a peripheral instead of making it
a central feature?
decimation: order of
a Cesium oscillator.
A PPS signal is derived from the USO and can be disciplined from Earth on rare occasion or from another orbiter via NTP. "
decimation: asciilifeform: there are hints about what is done for 'adult systems':
http://doc.ntp.org/4.2.6/drivers/driver22.html "
A scenario where the latter behavior can be most useful is
a planetary orbiter fleet, for instance in the vicinity of Mars, where contact between orbiters and Earth only one or two times per Sol (Mars day). These orbiters have
a precise timing reference based on an Ultra Stable Oscillator (USO) with accuracy in the
decimation: as if this couldn't be done with
a $0.1 microcontroller
ben_vulpes: <jurov> mod5, ben_vulpes: i hereby submit
a proposal for the foundation's fund to be used for x.idiff marketmaking << lol no but good try
kakobrekla: experts, sex pets ... not much of
a difference
BingoBoingo thinks kako needs to speak as assbot more often. Every barrel needs
a bung.

a couple hours ago

mircea_popescu: jurov lol it just means
a metal rod you roast on. it's the roasting spit.
mod6: jurov: None so far that I know of, other than perhaps
a bounty or something for testers as suggested by ben_vulpes.
kakobrekla: anyway, at this btcusd and current life style, i have 20-30 years to find

mircea_popescu: "The NutFund was

jurov: mod5, ben_vulpes: i hereby submit
a proposal for the foundation's fund to be used for x.idiff marketmaking

a girl's. Now how do you get it that way?
thestringpuller: Seinfeld and
a bunch of 90's commedians are coming out as aspies << i couldn't tell
BingoBoingo: So the big stories from NBC Nightly news tonight: Berlin wall fell, Seinfeld and
a bunch of 90's commedians are coming out as aspies
assbot: Why I am Not
a Professor
saifedean: but of course the vast majority of people who play this circle jerk end up sucking and not getting sucked, somewhere along the line, funding dries up,
a department closes down,
a professor dies and you're left unemployable and with nothing useful to contribute to anyone
saifedean: science on
a public budget is
a self-referential circle jerk: get with the system and suck the cock above you and you might be lucky to get your cock sucked below sometime soon... you'll spend your life sucking and getting sucked and soon won't even remember your cute teenage aspirations of doing something useful
hanbot: exactly what mp was saying
a few weeks ago
saifedean: it's
a direct effect of state-funded science
bounce: so in
a sense
a side-effect of too many scientists
saifedean: the only way to get into
a phd program, get
a grant, get
a job, get into
a journal is if you buy into the premises... once you bought into the premises, the 'scientific method' will bring out the right result.. if you try to rock the boat, you're simply wasting the time of people who have research grant deadlines to meet and so can't be bothered to sit and actually think of anything
Pierre_Rochard: “saifedean make
a blog, publish it. i'd read it” <- ditto
saifedean: it's on my hard-drive,
a long talebian/popperian/hayekian fisking of climate science and its pretenses of knowledge
pete_dushenski: and how did you turn that heretic paper into
a friendship with the guy?
saifedean: i had already got my job but needed the degree, so after i started the job, i had to basically write
a whole new phd, get
a new advisor and make it ivy-league-approved... the result is the derpage you saw above. read at your own risk
saifedean: there's
a long ass story about how this came about which i may tell to you some day near
a fire... i basically started reading taleb in my third year and went off the good Ivy rails... by the end of my fifth i had written an absolutely heretic phd and submit it, and when my adviser finally got round to reading it, the day before the defense, she decided it wasn't acceptable and wasn't going to let me defend it
Adlai: saifedean: there's
a fart joke in there somewhere but i fear sharting if i push too hard
saifedean: here's 226 pages of
a young man's twenties spent tackling carbon emissions :D
saifedean: hes from lebanon, lives in nyc. he's
a good friend and was on my phd defense committee
saifedean: the arabic bitcoin space is basically me and 5 other friends. I met one of them for
a tea yesterday and that might be the top news of the month
mircea_popescu: saifedean log.bitcoin-assets.com << complete history of b-
a proceeds
assbot: Blogging As Boundary Finding | Contravex:
A blog by Pete Dushenski
chetty: oo
a bonfire? what are we burning? someone at the stake I hope
pete_dushenski: in b-
a we mostly share stories, tell jokes, and dream
a dream
thestringpuller: based on the statements first submission are considered for future work. but if the first submission is accepted is there
a gpg transfer of IP? (and for
a bill/price)?
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla but he's coming from windows. best make this
a stages thing.
saifedean: <mircea_popescu> i have two laptops and can do that, but can you recommend
a guide to starting with linux?
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: like that time when you kissed
a girl tho it seemed kinda stupid << how is that ever stupid?
mircea_popescu: <saifedean> this is the point when i must confront the brotherhood with my inadequacies... I still use windows and have no fucking clue what this GPG business is. << seriously, but an old laptop, put linux on it. it's like that time when you kissed
a girl tho it seemed kinda stupid.
bounce: works about as well as anywhere else (which is, not that well), even comes with fancy front-ends to ease the pain
a bit
pete_dushenski: i already sent saifedean the contravex article on the wot, so tis only
a matter of time
saifedean: i don't mind being in
a cult, but i do mind potatoes. Do you even paleo, bro?
teward: pete_dushenski: better to just ask in the channel for
a cloak
teward: note it only applies here on this network - cloaks are
a per-network thing.
teward: Pierre_Rochard: might start here for
a cloak on Freenode:
Pierre_Rochard: Hey pete_dushenski, just googled what
a cloak is and it does sound appealing. How did you get yours? (I searched contravex)
pete_dushenski: howdy Pierre_Rochard. just noticed you don't have
a cloak?
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: dub i dunno, what am i, the micromanaging tyrant of
a cult ? << now why would anyone think that?
mats_cd03: ever tried
a 'ranger chew'? step 1. obtain MRE 2. remove condiment package with instant coffee and napkin 3. tear napkin 2in from corner and pour grounds on top of the torn piece 4. ball up napkin and stick it between gum and lip
mircea_popescu: is this semen taken out of
a cup,
a condom or straight out of asshole ?
jurov: “My suspicion is that they’re getting their semen from sodomites. Semen flavours up the coffee, and makes you thinks you’re having
a good time.”
mircea_popescu: On the other hand, most HTML writers don’t perceive comments as anything other than text delimited with ‘<!--’ and ‘-->’, which is not quite the same. For example, something like ‘<!------------>’ works as
a valid comment as long as the number of dashes is
a multiple of four (!). If not, the comment technically lasts until the next ‘--’, which may be at the other end of the document. Because of this,
mircea_popescu: According to specifications, HTML comments are expressed as SGML declarations. Declaration is special markup that begins with ‘<!’ and ends with ‘>’, such as ‘<!DOCTYPE ...>’, that may contain comments between
a pair of ‘--’ delimiters. HTML comments are “empty declarations”, SGML declarations without any non-comment text. Therefore, ‘<!--foo-->’ is
a valid comment, and so is ‘<!--one-- --two-

a Likbez : Buttcoin
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform imagine for
a moment if you spoke
a language derived out of ground down steel balls instead of shoehorned nuts found in the forest, and in exchange you had
a chance for what i say to make any sort of sense comparable to the matter density of the universe.
mircea_popescu: lol. way to go this "idea". "if languages were spherical and ate spherical hay, the best barn would be
a ball. let me make such!"
