asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ahaha, i've a shitfest from... '09. still going strong. ( http://www.loper-os.org/?p=42&cpage=2#comment-16766 etc )
mircea_popescu: instead of joining the harem of a dominant male as slaves and enjoy all the concha they can eat, they derp about as independent shegoats, imagining that they can ever score anything this way. as motherfucking if.
gribble: princessnell was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 4 weeks, 4 days, 17 hours, 43 minutes, and 36 seconds ago: <princessnell> i am a barbaric american monoglot, unfortunately :-/
mircea_popescu: chetty: jurov, well the premise probably not but the goal I suspect he would approve of << not really. i don't mind the bulk of male derpitude, just as long as my women insulate me from it. actual extermination tho is an iffy proposition, you'd end up with a huge bulk of marginal and nul women with nothing to occupy them. best not alter nature's balances.
mircea_popescu: ew planet each week and you have to both introduce a planet and tell a story all within a single episode.
mircea_popescu: On their Wagon Train to the Stars, our intrepid heroes come across a planet with a single defining characteristic. Everybody is a robot, or a gangster, or a Proud Warrior Race Guy, or an over-the-top actor, or wearing a Nice Hat. To some degree, this is unavoidable; you only have so much screen time or page space to develop and explore a culture. This is especially true in episodic series where the heroes travel to a n
mircea_popescu: jdanks: Well, I are engineer. I no talk good. But I math well. So I'd like to be let known if someone is crazy enough to start a town (; << ok so if you math well you must think good. what is the advantage of trying to implement irl a planet of hats ? it's a device of fiction, borne out of insufficiency of resources. here's your must-read: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PlanetOfHats
mircea_popescu: lesbian chicks would like a little manhandling and dunno how to ask properly ? what else is new.
chetty is kinda hoping that link will produce a rant or 3
jdanks: bitcoin mining is for the goose chasers. and now the germans have a chip twice as efficient as anything out there. i'd rather put my meal ticket into btc straight up rather than miners.
jdanks: i have one of those .3 GH/s usbs from long ago i made a killing with
jdanks: we have quite a few working device(s) and designs that can just as easily do udp, we can already http 1-2 km. blockchains everywhere, think about it (;
jdanks: Well, I are engineer. I no talk good. But I math well. So I'd like to be let known if someone is crazy enough to start a town (;
jdanks: yea he is all registered as a corporation and with all those tax dohickeys
jdanks: I guess the whole story is he has access to all this land, like a town, he just bought it up. He says he's gonna put solar (from Solar City) and Tesla is putting in a charging station. He has a bunch of vids of him working with kids, teaching them engineering and whatnot.
jdanks: https://www.facebook.com/BlockchainValley Yea this too. He kind of went off on a spout one day. Wasn't sure what to think of him. He was trashin' Mr. Weiner and others. Adam Kokesh hung with him and that kinda seems legit, but he no WoT I dunno why.
jdanks: oh the lady birds are bein' lady birds as usual ragnardanneskjol. they have been enjoying my organic corn i let go a bit too long. lost it's sweet and got starchy.
kakobrekla: a ok
TheNewDeal: ill take that as a maybe
chalbersma: I'll give it a change.
chalbersma: I do however need a link to use for the contact tab. Right now it redirects to me blog.
Vexual: mircea_popescu great dissection of some great writing, i would think tho, that the our in our happiness refers not to the individual, but the collective man as a beast
mircea_popescu: "i feel like a fart" "offensive ?" "inspired."
mircea_popescu: i don't need everyone to be an idiot, i just need a few to make my case.
asciilifeform: and actually represent, e.g, 1/3 as a 1, a /, and a 3; sqrt(2) as a root and a two of it, etc
mircea_popescu: jurov perhaps more a "Can shit we need done be phrased such that wetware can do it better than the turing machine"
asciilifeform is actually rather fond of analogue computing as a concept, and as it once existed, but has yet to meet a 'meatware' proposal that isn't transparently grantsmanship.
asciilifeform: jurov: turing's apparatus is not even a particularly good abstraction for electric computer. much less 'wet' kind.
mircea_popescu: and a list of what molecules it contains
mircea_popescu: the question is more like, suppose i give you piles of C N H O etc molar equivalent to the contents of a live creature,
asciilifeform: takes about a year of skilled labour.
asciilifeform: now, getting the answer out in a usable form...
asciilifeform: (2) gives a result more in line with reality, and so tends to be favoured unless there is something exotic about the system (weird ligand, perverse conditions otherwise, whatever)
asciilifeform: so, for those who don't know, there are two basic ways of 'folding' a protein (that is, in physical reality it folds, but you want to know its structure)
mircea_popescu: just folding proteins is a massive task.
mircea_popescu: suppose i don't multiply 5 x 7, but i do a fft over a large domain.
mircea_popescu: it's a subset of the "first, one nail" approach
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know it's a bad habit to state the problem thus.
asciilifeform: jurov: first, multiply, e.g, 5 x 7 with 'wetware' and get a reliable answer.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla you know, after the first steam machines were introduced in the 1800s, people saw that horses and oxen are replaced, but believed the intelligent movement of man will remain emulated for a long long time
asciilifeform: '...a secret goal of the Rockefeller family, one of the chief financiers of the plan, to own an apartment overlooking the Kremlin and Red Square...'
kakobrekla: i suspekt wetware is going to stay emulated for a long long time
asciilifeform can hardly think of a less suitable wetware application than btc mining
mircea_popescu: http://bitcoin.sipa.be/speed-lin-ever.png always good for a omgwtf.
kakobrekla: dis a joke ?
ContingencyPlan: thanks for the up - does anyone have a link for getting started with PGP/WoT?
mircea_popescu is picturing kakobrekla sitting on a huge pile of coal, pumping the server furnace as needed
gribble: Error: "isdown" is not a valid command.
mircea_popescu: also, that is NOT what a family is for fucks sake. what is this, PREFIX instead of POSTFIX alternative universe ?
mircea_popescu: fap. not a word, a deed.
fluffypony: and push out a little code
fluffypony: but they can code...a little
fluffypony: they can't see things through to a finish, so they fail at life
fluffypony: there are a great deal of "developers" in the altcoin section that have *failed* at holding a job IRL
fluffypony: "XXXXXXXcoin is a scam!"
skinnkavaj: good, people expect transparency for business, but I also see a future in the altcoin market with one altcoin that offers something bitcoin cannot today, anonymity.
skinnkavaj: mircea_popescu: Hard to take anyones word seriously, I can only judge by the flock of bitcoin developers in #monero-dev, I am not trusting 1 guy named jl777 that he will create a "Supernetwork" while he also have created 50 other altcoins. I am instead trusting the names assoicated with Monero. Familiar names to me. Also unless BTC is forked it will be the transparent coin and this is
penguirker: New blog post: http://www.thedrinkingrecord.com/2014/09/13/a-reversal-of-odds/
BingoBoingo awakes to ...a pool?
chalbersma: Pleasure doing buisness guys. I'll be on in a few hours.
chalbersma: Generally it's a good idea to use an address from a wallet not on the same server as the pool. That will ensure that if the server is compromised there's less that can be stolen.
gribble: You rated user chalbersma on Wed Sep 10 23:17:00 2014, with a rating of 1, and supplied these additional notes: new blood..
chalbersma: True ads don't exactly pay a lot of money.
chalbersma: In theory we could take a "cross that bridge when we come to it." position.
mircea_popescu: chalbersma if you wish ask in #freenode for a cloak. otherwise, anyone in any chan or pm sees your ip
chalbersma: I've got it setup currently on a home connection. You can check it out but I'd like to give the ip over pm to keep some semblance of keeping my IP private.
mircea_popescu: chalbersma didja mine a block on it ?
mircea_popescu: <thestringpuller> No one can seem to figure out how to use nLockTime without a third party to prevent double spend. << for a fundamental reason.
thestringpuller: No one can seem to figure out how to use nLockTime without a third party to prevent double spend.
thestringpuller: E.g. one could time-lock 1 bitcoin for 1 year to create a FrozenCoin. This can be done using nLockTime property of a Bitcoin transaction, but we would need an oracle (e.g. a trusted third party) to prove that a coin can't be spent before the specified time.
thestringpuller: For the start, we need to introduce the concept of a FrozenCoin. FrozenCoin is simply a bitcoin which cannot be spent before a certain moment in future, i.e. a time-locked, frozen bitcoin.
assbot: Is Safello.com legit or a scam? DeadTerra, aka Ludvig berg : Bitcoin
thestringpuller: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2g862t/is_safellocom_legit_or_a_scam_deadterra_aka/
asciilifeform: http://i.imgur.com/z44bhed.png << people asked about this, a few times, at various times. and herr corkami has good schoolbook picture of it.
jurov: btw, how would the blockchain telegraph deal with XX btc transactions/second limit? #b-a woud break it often
mircea_popescu: it occurs to me ezra pound would make fine reading for b-a. he hated the banks.
mircea_popescu: There once was a pore honest sailor, a heavy drinker, a hell of a cuss, a rowster, a boozer, and the drink finally sent him to hospital, and they operated, and there was a poor whore in the woman’s ward had a kid, while they were fixing the sailor, and they brought him the kid when he came to, and said : ‘Here! this is what we took out of you.’
asciilifeform: everyone who is running a node, yes.
jurov: "serverless" means "everyone has to be a server"
asciilifeform: anyone who 'comes with a sword' - doesn't get his back. that simple.
mircea_popescu: now, getting back : serverless is not an advantage, it's a disadvantage.
asciilifeform: who wants - writes own, a dozen lines of $lang, and connects.
nanotube: oh nature stinks plenty. ever been around a corpse? :)
nanotube: mircea_popescu: ah i see. well, at .0001 btc per tx, 1btc will last for a while. you could also just not reveal the data packet until you take the btc back out.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: the patent office thing is a crock of shit. << you know i wonder why the press is moving against the uspto.
mircea_popescu: which implementation is a large portion of why im here in the first place. if it hadn;'t existed it's unlikely vragnaroda'd have had what to seduce me with
assbot: b-a deeds registrar - Pastebin.com
RagnarDanneskjol: nano - I contacted you about helping build it a coupl months back. i think it Might be done this weekend
mircea_popescu: the advantage being that since one needs the whole bundle to verify the blockchain hash, everyone in the bundle has a vested interest to preserve the whole bundle
mircea_popescu: so if you're willing to work with it, we can have a special ratings protocol. they're a lot more solid than gribble's.
mircea_popescu: and publish on a website as well.
mircea_popescu: nanotube it's a bot being written that will take gpog signed stuff, serialize it, hash it, insert the hash in the blockchain
mircea_popescu: aaactually... once the deeds bot comes online, it can work as a gribble substitute.
mircea_popescu: tho one hell of a coincidence, it practically started the same minute.
assbot: Reverse Engineering a NAND Flash Device Management Algorithm | Joshua Wise's domain
mats_cd03: fun fact: a piece of lenovo windows crapware downloads an xml file over http then downloads and executes windows platform-specific binary. ☟︎
mats_cd03: also discovered dis enhanced man page web thinger (im a nix scrub): explainshell.com
punkman: just broke a lock and walked out with a niqab
assbot: I am a 14-year-old Yazidi girl given as a gift to an ISIS commander. Heres how I escaped. - The Washington Post
