ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: tomatoes and peppers in the ground
as of today
mod6: Rerunning these now... will update
as they complete.
mod6: I was about to embark on some fg-anal, but realized that I needed to re-run all of the test from FG #1 and one test from FG #2 --
as those were run before the thread about dd 'fullblock'.
phf: shroomery is a crustier take on erowid. if erowid is a 70s post-psychedelic ethnographer and psychonaut attempt at exhaustive substances library, shroomery is where borderline wooks go to share tips on synthesizing dmt using household objects.
as the name implies it's primarily about mushroom growing (it's legal to ship spores, but mushroom growing is finicky, so it's a perfect dyi drug project)
mircea_popescu: i have nfi what one'd have to think, comparing the very elegant late 1800s items, often found on same street
as the humongously ugly 1930, and not weep.
mircea_popescu: they're disguising the bollards
as planets ? such subtle.
mircea_popescu: in fact, the "being impressed with science" thing is rather ~same blather
as "being impressed with state", recent gaselnita.
mircea_popescu: religion for
as long
as it doesn't actually get in the way of what i'm trying to do right now".
mircea_popescu: now, obviously the protest will be "but mp, your example with newton is scandalous, math is a fucking science". yes, it is. in theory. in practice it is not,
as far
as every non-practician is concerned math is a religion by definition, and what's worse -- even
as far
as brilliant practicians are concerned! because what else do you make of

☝︎ mircea_popescu: every religion is similar to every other in the fundamental points that a) it is only accessible to the "initiated", the bar for which is never so low
as to not demand the subject WANTING TO get it and b) public expenditure (not necessarily in the shape of coin) is not driven by any sort of efficiency paradigm.
mircea_popescu: but this sort of bureaucratic scribble is very much not in the vein the matter is taken. nobody's seriously interested in the fact that citations are bullshit -- they're bullshit throughout and this is by and large accepted and deemed acceptable

☝︎ pete_dushenski: "It was designed
as an impregnable deep-freeze to protect the world’s most precious seeds from any global disaster and ensure humanity’s food supply forever. But the Global Seed Vault, buried in a mountain deep inside the Arctic circle, has been breached after global warming produced extraordinary temperatures over the winter, sending meltwater gushing into the entrance tunnel." << no one fails more
pete_dushenski first read alimentary independence
as alimonial independence, figured that bitcoin was
as staunch a defense against prying states/spouses
as anything
mircea_popescu: Framedragger come to think about it, the logic actually follows. nature is red in tooth and claw. the hysteria of "removing the red from nature's tooth and claw", usually sold by the "our democracy" lunatics
as "rule of law" or equivalent, directly runs all the way to "male penis is not reproductive organ but social construct".
☟︎ Framedragger: "The paper was ridiculous by intention, essentially arguing that penises shouldn’t be thought of
as male genital organs but
as damaging social constructions. We made no attempt to find out what “post-structuralist discursive gender theory” actually means. We assumed that if we were merely clear in our moral implications that maleness is intrinsically bad and that the penis is somehow at the root of it, we could get the paper
danielpbarron: i specifically used that copy from deedbot,
as per the instructions on thebitcoin.foundation
a111: Logged on 2017-05-19 19:15 asciilifeform: dna rots 'in situ', while not being copied, just
as in the usual process.
ben_vulpes: scroll wheel itself clicks
as you spin it omfg you troll
mircea_popescu:
as per my lights, genuine dumb broad braying her stuff.
mircea_popescu: if i consult
as to what stupid whore random idiot should not marry, i expect him to pay for the fucking drinks.
danielpbarron: zero times itself zero times,
as in... there is nothing at all to multiply
danielpbarron: 0 to the 0 is indeterminate,
as in it could equal anything depending on what the limit functions are that get to 0
phf: well, i think mythological devices are not inherently bad
as long
as they have some aesthetic value to it. problems is most of these projects are mythology for progressive bureaucrats, so they are fully stripped of aesthetics and only have implied didactic value. sort of like a church with an angry god, but no awesome transcendent
phf: there's no aha, we're talking about inert seeds. mutations happen
as part of selection process in reproduction cycle
ben_vulpes: well pay 10x up front for a thing that works, or 1x for a thing that appears to work so long
as we don't move too far from initial conditions.
mircea_popescu: which takes us right back to the kako lulz. i was sitting with girl earlier, idly observed "check out that dork, argentina was too far for him. china -- not. what the fuck is wrong with people." and she explained. "you know what it is. bitcoin went up. you're thinking, eh, he made hundreds, what does he care. he cares -- because he mostly sold them
as he got them, good little soviet."
mircea_popescu: y. one tends to go around naked and slather peanut butter on himself, the other tends to behave
as if the panties were glued on, there's really no substantial difference.
mircea_popescu: anyway, re other point : i dun believe there is such a thing
as an autodidact. everyone that knows anything learned that thing, themselves. no one can learn outside of an environment, and there is no deeper relevancy to convention of the time than that -- convention of the time. dude who learns in dark room is going to be weird one way, girly that learns in room with other girlies and teacher is going to be weird the other wa
mircea_popescu: somehow the soviet and soviet likes didn't annoy me nearly
as much.
gabriel_laddel_p: Interestingly, Ilan Kroo reached for the same formulation (A->) & same example (spherically symmetrical mass distribution)
as CAM, but ~20 years earlier, and prior to gravity probe B, which confirmed (for some value of that word) the geodetic effect (frame dragging).
a111: Logged on 2017-05-18 18:27 asciilifeform: it dun have enough meat on its bones, at least
as presented in the b00k,

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-18#1658434 < Do you have a source for this? And banning photons? What? Where is this discussed? In any case, there are two threads here 1) collective electrodynamics, which wants to be a reformulation of EM using A->,
as it takes into account,
as you say, the "collective action" of electrons. & 2) G4V, which applies t
☝︎ BingoBoingo: In other Desperations:
https://archive.is/F2SIO "If the chain splits, then when / if / every time the BIP148 chain gets longer*, it will replace the legacy chain. Transactions that had confirmed on the legacy chain will become unconfirmed (unless they are also confirmed on the BIP148 chain). Bitcoins mined by legacy miners will cease to exist,
as they lose their blocks. (This cannot occur in the inverse direction: no matter how long the
Framedragger: would include that 3d transform on cardano.io
as a free perk

as Bitcoin and Ethereum, preventing from frauds and money-laundering, ID management and being a mediator with taxing/administrative system in various countries.

Went over the years from promising to sell cookies he wouldn't bake to writing a couple good qntra's under cazalla regime. Then sort just degraded to repeatedly asking questions over plaintext about gardening for plants I don't grow. "tomatoes" but I suspect he was using it
as a code word for a plant incompatible with quality sobriety. His late con

as an absolute maximum.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
as far
as the conspiracies go : politically speaking, if the ev were even close, even vaguely the "art" grads in eg germany would be pushing for lifting the cost on hot reactors matter disposal so
as to balance it outright.
mircea_popescu: though most don't even want to use that
as a confinement method
a111: Logged on 2016-08-30 14:55 asciilifeform: 'motivation from fear is a firecracker, from interest - a nuke'
as the americans used to say
mircea_popescu: there's many tons of waste in the us they don't klnow what to do with. and
as recent qntra points out, it's starting to leak.
mircea_popescu: in this sense and very generally, large scale investigations of the nature of "let's see what happens to laser interference" are not substantially different from historical items such
as foucault's pendulum, or the torgue balance of 1700
mircea_popescu: anyway, the web / backend decoupling will hafta occur, it's too fragile
as it is
mircea_popescu: note that the items in your paste... are indexed
as such.

Framedragger: asciilifeform: you may be right, seeing
as that "betaBot" is a piece of some older malware, seemingly

mircea_popescu: fine, but i find it rather lulzy that apparently i have to worry about "Bitcoin revenue",
as if i can't trade fiatola for bitcoin like anyone else ; and that somehow i should be worried while sitting on technology the usg couldn't replicate in spite of trying for a coupla years.
phf: there are hacks in postscript that let you dump a raw pixel buffer (
as is the case in most graphics libraries, there's "graphics language" and "dump these special bits in internal format")
mircea_popescu: the 2-3 transition may be argued
as "oh, like i wouldn't have figured that twirl on my own anyway". nevertheless, the 2-5 continuity doth revolve around warnock fellow.
mircea_popescu: and yes, it can be said it all stands in the same relation to henderson & functional geometry
as all the "gurus" and "experts" of the us school of management stand with skinner.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: checked, yeah pretty amazing, damn; obviously lots of memory overhead depending on noise/entropy, but point is that it was actually something new,
as you say, not just any optimisation
