mircea_popescu: a buncha morons are running ripple, what's your point ?
mircea_popescu: so people just milk it and milk it and milk it.
mircea_popescu: an internet retard who simply can not stop providing the lolz.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the expression is, lolcow.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-03-2015#1047858 << that part was inevitable. what was evitable, and usually is avoided, but couldn't be and consequently wasn't here is - the whole thing critically failing and in the process exposing them, their methods and the whole farm to public ridicule. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: "i'm going to pretend like if i find five people that can be bribed, scared or fooled then that's all that was needed to begin with. just, the usg is so ridiculous, toothless and impotent I CANT EVEN SAY WHO THE FUCK THE FIVE WILL BE. hopefully we even find five idiots, or else... whatever, three's enough. one's me, one's me dressed as satoshi, one's me in my wife's panties. win!"
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell gavinandresen http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-03-2015#1047857 << check it out, the shithead lies about imaginary consensus in december, then "is working" on building the consensus he lied about having, in march. get lost, fucksticks. your gig is up. ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: that's more recent
mircea_popescu: which they definitely were. the russians copied liberally but never equalled
mircea_popescu: right.
mircea_popescu: i can't be arsed to wade into the merits.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but formally, as far as writing is concerned, as far as the art of blogging is concerned, it's a good piece.
mircea_popescu: jurov kukuruku is a great name. used to be this shitty wafer when i was a kid, most ridiculous advertisements.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-03-2015#1047818 << actually this is a remarkably good piece on the textual merits. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: anyway, im off! tell all the stoyas.
mircea_popescu: what french dude'd have him ?
mircea_popescu: (also what i meant was, you can check thje address see payments received)
mircea_popescu: speaking of which yo trinque ! old deeds ? new display style ?
mircea_popescu: davout it can't hurt but i'm about to hop in a car. will make a deed when im back later
mircea_popescu: also i'm very well connected into the old style strong set, so there is that.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field has an excellent point : this is a fine time to make new keys / reorganize the keyplan, make a master key which then signs other keys as you need etc.
mircea_popescu: the beauty of reusing addresses.
mircea_popescu: davout for one, it's the sameaddress everyone else paid to
mircea_popescu: ascii_field yep, we are.
mircea_popescu: same for pg :)
mircea_popescu would rather see stoya here than paul graham.
mircea_popescu: that's what makes it funny.
mircea_popescu: davout notrly, because i may have to verify people later, in person, whereas you won't have to verify payments later in a different venue.
mircea_popescu: davout it's a running joke with jurov and others that watch the mpex statements :)
mircea_popescu: stoya was here ?!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform:!up stoya <omfg no fucking wai.
mircea_popescu: btw - only a few days left, hurry up in case the btc collapses.
mircea_popescu: $conference
mircea_popescu: !up dooglus
mircea_popescu: (real dooglus btw)
mircea_popescu: and check this shit out : http://trilema.com/2013/various-kinds-of-stickiness/#comment-112932
mircea_popescu: davout http://trilema.com/2014/the-conference-third-edition/#comment-112937 btw.
mircea_popescu: ;;calc 1950 / 295
mircea_popescu: wtf is this no vwap srsly.
mircea_popescu: ;;ticker
mircea_popescu: aha ?
mircea_popescu: right.
mircea_popescu: i wonder if there;s a limit of how many you can plop together before you end up in some novel hell
mircea_popescu: right
mircea_popescu: it would
mircea_popescu: it actually can't ever be metastable can it.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, this IS a pretty beautiful thing huh ?
mircea_popescu: no, simply did not give a shit.
mircea_popescu: albeit briefly.
mircea_popescu: and this is why i became a theoretical physicist
mircea_popescu: not our concern, now is it.
mircea_popescu: seeing how i'm not an electrical engineer, i'm prone to misinterpret. the boon of ignorance.
mircea_popescu: i'll note you'd have had a much more reliable response had you described rather than shown :)!!!
mircea_popescu has been spending some time looking at this circuitry, understands why it backfeeds now.
mircea_popescu: "if not both"
mircea_popescu looks at gate again
mircea_popescu: otherwise, it translates to text quite perfectly well, and plainly : "if and only if". but this is familiar to people trained in humanities more than in cs i guess.
mircea_popescu: not unlike ruby programmer imagining "o wow, so much better than asm".
mircea_popescu: so now it's symbolized and you look at it and you figure hey, it's so much better than text
mircea_popescu: the only reason that picture is even meaningful to you is because you long ago digested its text
mircea_popescu: ok that's maybe your best analogy to date.
mircea_popescu: hahaha
mircea_popescu: maybe.
mircea_popescu: if memory made intelligence, computers'd be pretty smart.
mircea_popescu: minus the last sentence.
mircea_popescu: and it doesn't start with pharma, freud was closer to a fraud than anything. and all the way back.
mircea_popescu: most of the "mind science" is pure gunk, ftr.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, my articles are generally preformed and i just tyoe them out.
mircea_popescu: jurov nothing is error free, not even non-ecc memory.
mircea_popescu: jurov you know this is nonsense. i store thousands of items.
mircea_popescu: jurov 7 bits should be enough for everyone!
mircea_popescu: there's no understanding involved in mashing the bits together. i also teach cooking by example only.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform pronz!
mircea_popescu: adlai not coincidental either.
mircea_popescu: natural language "ambiguity" is a machine problem, not a human problem.
mircea_popescu: the more important point here was if you're somehow going to leverage the visual processor to think with, rather than whether it sometimes saves representative space for the linguistic processor to conveniently symbolize.
mircea_popescu: (/me could have been deformed by years of insisting pets verbalize as part of their education)
mircea_popescu: the very general case where it's easier to show me than to tell me reduces to pr0n.
mircea_popescu: exactly! see ?
mircea_popescu: WHICH IS MY POINT :D
mircea_popescu: but it is!
mircea_popescu: implicit neh ?
mircea_popescu: "triple integral for x = 4y**2 + 4z**2 and x=4"
mircea_popescu: a symbol is a symbol.
mircea_popescu: well that's your point, but notrly what was discussed. a simple mapping from that to "integral" and problem solved.
mircea_popescu: i still dunno why you think the current notation is somehow nonverbal.
mircea_popescu: "integral"
mircea_popescu: trivial to write integrals in plain language, what.
mircea_popescu: why stop at batch mode :D
mircea_popescu: well actually, under the "least bugs in code" criteria, the best programming was done 1100ad - 1700ad.
mircea_popescu: lol
mircea_popescu: well... chicks not having two cunts certainly has made it so we don't have two penises, amirite ?
mircea_popescu: is it computer pronz ?
mircea_popescu: wait, we do that ?!
mircea_popescu: heh!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well then that's all i got, because i've never spent considerable enough time with one to say anything cogent.
mircea_popescu: no it didn't. modern mathematics began once they gave up the "mysticism" and "unexpressible" and "obvious" visual/intuitive nonsense and started putting everything in words.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i will use your own body to defeat you! how long did you spent with the box, and how much did you make in that time ?
mircea_popescu: well, more like, "if you can't say it in words you've not understood it"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's a simple restriction on volume.
