mircea_popescu: lettuce see if forbes getting sued by bitcoin for ip infringement makes the news or not.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: ahaha im bashing that paste shit. nubbins you should start your own act.
mircea_popescu: well... the world is supremely fair, in that ignorance is its own reward.
mircea_popescu: it's funny tho, quotations from bad fanfic, the works.
mircea_popescu: "My, what an effective use of Bayesian evidence that is!"
mircea_popescu: "I know, but I also know that you are only flattering me as an attempt to manipulate me."
mircea_popescu: "My, that is an effective manipulation. You are a dangerous man"
mircea_popescu: "Here is an awesome manipulation I’m using against you"
mircea_popescu: conversations between Quirrell/Malfoy/Potter seem to follow scripts of the form
mircea_popescu: basicaly... these are kids whoise main feature is having sat through a bunch of bad marketing seminars.
mircea_popescu: ham fisted, Hariezer is consistently telling us about all the manipulative tricks they are both using. Its less a conversation and more people who just sat through a shitty marketing seminar trying to try out what they learned. WITH RAPE. "
mircea_popescu: "So, Hariezer is joking about the murder (its made clear later), but WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING? These escalating friendship-tests feel contrived, reciprocity is effective when you don’t make demands immediately, which is why when you get a free sample at the grocery store the person at the counter doesn’t say “did you like that? Buy this juice or we won’t be friends anymore.” This whole conversation feels
mircea_popescu: hey, does wikiquote have a page of quotes from my cat yet ?
mircea_popescu: there was a very apt summary in that physicits's criticism. i suppose i should look it up.
mircea_popescu: im starting to notice a pattern here, he reads exactly like yak guy, once i read yak guy
mircea_popescu: his mantears over bitcoin existing coupled with a certain need for "Expertise" in certain quarters...
mircea_popescu: so i guess two can't admits make it a mindblowing evil thing.
mircea_popescu: for the other it's not ok to admit urbit exists strictly because a) yarvin's chumpatron attempt failed just at the time b) usg was looking for a particular tool
mircea_popescu: well for one thing it's not ok to admit yarvin is orlov in a different color scheme
mircea_popescu: As a development methodology it's often useful to write hoon that tracks an existing C routine rather than the other way around, but even this needs to be done quite carefully to avoid jet discrepancies."
mircea_popescu: "Writing an empty stub is an extremely bad practice and should only be done in desperation, because at the urbit level it produces a system event log that is nonrepeatable, or at least noncompliant with the nock spec. Discrepancies propagate rapidly in any kind of replay. You should be able to turn off all jets and get the same result. This is not practical, but it is practical if you disable everything but a few ba
mircea_popescu: nobody is disputing it's a very useful tool for many things.
mircea_popescu: well yes. im chasing the culprit. i wish to know who the fuck thought this is a good idea.
mircea_popescu: so far, i'm a) chasing whoever the fuck broke the world by making an idiotic libnss and b) unconvinced the problem's more than that dns bs.
mircea_popescu: no, we've not even come to the discussion where "it's entirely unclear desktop with bitcoind in quemu can even process blocks in 10 minutes each"
mircea_popescu: i don't have anything against running test versions of golden-bitcoind on anything, including toasters, gameboys, toasters emulated on gameboys etc
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i can't see this as anything but "adding more bad code".
mircea_popescu: (incidentally, portability worst fucking idea in computing!)
mircea_popescu: with who knows what dirty hacks everywhere to make it "portabler"
mircea_popescu: except your emulator still runs on pentium i in question
mircea_popescu: and your explanation is... "Well many people checked it"
mircea_popescu: so you want me to pull in more code than the openssl. with worse risk outlook.
mircea_popescu: how do you distinguish a bug in the os from a bug in the emulator from a bug in the code ?
mircea_popescu: you essentially have managed to divorce a new academia out of engineering
mircea_popescu: if your binary that runs can not be run by your golden standard
mircea_popescu: but this is essentially naive. because, again, the bitcoind is not the code you read, but the binary that runs.
mircea_popescu: suppose your emulated bitcoind forks. what do you do ?
mircea_popescu: inb short : it'd be great if emulators as you conceptually represent one existed and work. they do not. what we need is a distro to set in stone.
mircea_popescu: sometimes i fall asleep on one girl and wake up atop another.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, granted, it's "a better hypervisor". still runs on another os.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski "The teens are the sons of Roxanne Dubé, who only recently assumed the role of consul general in Miami. A former Fulbright scholar, she has extensive diplomatic experience, having worked as an aide in Parliament and as the ambassador to Zimbabwe."
