nubbins`: but it has
a certain mystique as-is
nubbins`: can't figure out
a way to get the channel name + freenode in there without making it look like something you bought at
a convention
benkay: <Mats_cd03> clojure is
a vulnerable mess // specifics?
assbot:
A New Investment Fund - Btc Alpha
BingoBoingo: I have
a feeling mike_c already curses the existence of f.mpif
nubbins`: so essentially it's like
a chick with
a bunch of piercings
benkay: it's
a joy to pick
a point on the performance curve.
TomServo: After having driven automatic transmissions all my life and buying an older land cruiser, I have to say driving
a manual really is
a pleasure.
benkay: why is there no -assets bc-
a-
a-s provider?
benkay: so who are the blockchain-as-
a-service providers?
benkay:
a significant chunk of the remaining apps are going to get popular and have load requirements that rendering the abstraction layer insufferable.
benkay: that demonic AI in between you and the gearbox will prevent you doing anything to burn fuel at
a rate sufficient to eke performance out of the thing.
benkay: that layer of abstraction in between you and the machine is going to either give you
a headache down the road or you're not going to get the performance the machine is capable of
BingoBoingo: clutch wastes
a foot, shifter wastes
a hand
kakobrekla: BingoBoingo once you get
a hang of it its not more complicated than breaking
BingoBoingo: kakobrekla: My concern is more the rural roads where I'll be cruising and then an old person in
a buick or fucking red neck in
a tractor interupts me.
BingoBoingo: gears become
a hassel when you share the road with American drivers
BingoBoingo also has never had
a car without automatic headlights...
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: That car anology explains sucinctly why I stay with automatic transmissions. I respect the limits of my ability to control
a motor vehicle and anything that reliably saves me cogitive overhead is welcome.
mircea_popescu: anyway, f.mpif may performance, 4.42419221,
a little over 1%. 0.5ish of it went to cover for last month's misrepresentation of atc, leaving
a little 1% clear.
mircea_popescu: "Back in April we explained to
a mostly innocent community what
a CDO is and how’d it work."
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: the funny thing is usagi claims you copied his NYAN fund. But in actuality you took the concept and did it correct. Despite how many scammers were parading as "asset issuers", you managed to recoup ~52% of the original capital invested. MPCD.
A based on your statements actually made
a profit (since MPCD.
A got paid out before B and C of course), etc.

A mircea_popescu: ;;rate deadterra -1 inept crowd follower ; promoted
a lengthy list of meanwhile blown assets.
gribble: You rated user deadterra on Wed Sep 4 18:41:21 2013, with
a rating of -5, and supplied these additional notes: sloppy opprtunistic unreliable, bad at what he does, avoid.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: Thank you for continuing against Usagi. His declaration of "Let me tell you about bingoboingo. He is
a successful fund manager because he has never had to weather the storm of an exchange shutdown. Wake up." made me lol. << makes two of us.
benkay: does blockchain.info provide
a testnet endpoint?
decimation: I can sympathize with wanting to quit ... trying to make x86 hardware secure is
a herculean task
fluffypony: nubbins`: at least you'll be able to tell people that you blow
a damn good trumpet
BingoBoingo: decimation: Well, I guess if you wanted to quit, tripping your NSA canary would be
a hell of
a way to go out
decimation: kako: which part? that the crazy argentinians would build
a village with insufficient flood protection, or the idea of people riding old bicycles through the ruins of western civilization?
decimation: to be fair, the exploits on ascii's link appear to be attacks on
a running system, not
a cold system
benkay: does anyone have
a full copy of manipulism?
bitcoinpete: and with that, i bit ye
a hasty adieu. it might be tuesday before i get back...
nubbins`: i've never heard of someone peeling
a holo and having an unreadable key inside
decimation: chetty: re: manipulism >> It's
a straight line from "let's have every man and woman vote for government" to manipulation of mass opinion
pankkake: but that's less fun for
a BTC fund
assbot: I once read
a joke describing the inferiority complex facilitating social equili - Pastebin.com
decimation: Volume parsing as it relates to
a file container
BingoBoingo: I'm actually kind of surprised the BTC/RON operation avoided
a loss, but the $525 to $500 yo-yo stayed with us long enough for Naphex's exchange to catch up.
pankkake: I thought BB managed
a fund earlier than MPIF, I was confused
BingoBoingo: I still can't belive Usagi called me
a fund manager. I manage four piles of money. Everything that goes into making it
a fund is through Mircea. This distinction is evidence of the root of Usagi's failure.
BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: And remember that
a small number of positive rating isn't necessarily an endorsement.
fluffypony: everything you wrote was
a lie, and everyone knows it, bitcoinpete! look! he has proof!
BingoBoingo: bitcoinpete: Yeah, the kakobrekla situation reads like
a negotated settlement.
fluffypony: "Even Mircea knows what pete wrote was
a lie. "
bitcoinpete: looks like you guys were having quite the tete-
a-tete with usagi
thestringpuller: BingoBoingo: Now I understand why you're such
a good writer for teaching purposes. You are
a librarian!
BingoBoingo: chetty: Maybe if you are on an elemental diet for digestive issues. I imagine mixed with crushed flintstones vitamins it might be useful as
a crude form of TPN.
BingoBoingo: I think slurry of miscelaneous carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids in aqueous suspension is as specific
a description as possible for the slurry
BingoBoingo: Blazedout419: Milk might be too generous
a description of the input
thestringpuller: Ultimately I think usagi is trying to cling onto the forum. If he's labeled
a scammer there how will he raise money?
thestringpuller: then I felt
a bit sad that humans can be so stupid they don't know they're stupid.
thestringpuller: BingoBoingo: well today I realized if I had invested all those coin in MPCD.
A instead NYAN.
A it would be
a non-issue.
BingoBoingo: Seriously, the gall of Usagi to call be sucessful or
a fund manager
BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: Thank you for continuing against Usagi. His declaration of "Let me tell you about bingoboingo. He is
a successful fund manager because he has never had to weather the storm of an exchange shutdown. Wake up." made me lol.
chetty: yeah but those first three chapters are
a great read
pankkake: so I could do everything I want with
a simple USB key, but wouldn't mind another layer of security, however crappy itis
pankkake: nubbins`: maybe that's what I will do… they're more of
a bother than anything else to run now
nubbins`: Blazedout419 for the street cred without the financial risk, turn
a USB block erupter heat sink into
a keychain
pankkake: none, I just want some storage that would almost never leave my sight, and the only non-software encrypted part would be
a /boot partition
fluffypony: Blazedout419: maybe as
a joke thing, like "hah hah I bought some AM shares back in the day'
pankkake: I remember
a usb key that was lockable. well it was
a kickstarter project
pankkake: anyway, not my use case. could be
a usb key in
a safe, but this is more portable
nubbins`: it looks to be
a first pressing
nubbins`: i'm wondering if this is
a common thing or if i have
a shiny gem
mircea_popescu: More surprisingly, the socialbots that generated synthetic tweets (rather than just reposting) performed better too. That suggests that Twitter users are unable to distinguish between posts generated by humans and by bots. “This is possibly because
a large fraction of tweets in Twitter are written in an informal, grammatically incoherent style, so that even simple statistical models can produce tweets with quality s
mircea_popescu: Freitas and co also monitored the Klout score of each of their social bots to see how they fared. (Klout is an online service that measures the influence of Twitter accounts, giving them
a score between 0 and 100). “We find that the socialbots achieved Klout scores of the same order of (or, at times, even higher than) several well-known academicians and social network researchers,” they say.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> i've no idea whether it is possible to build an unmolested autarkik village in modern ar. <<< you can do pretty much exactly whatever the fuck you please. yesterday';s newspaper carried
a report of
a gang of 5 men that attacked
a minor detention center to get

chetty: I think right now
a lot of locals are just trying to survive until the next election
