☟︎ ben_vulpes: embarassing
as it is that i'm only now finding that trb doesn't solipsistically mine, i did determine that it validates the whole chain.
mircea_popescu: history-
as is has some various peculiarities, such
as this.
mircea_popescu: because i'm supposed to have been born
as stupid
as they are or wtf.
mod6: i don't love this feature
as it introduces complexity and an edge-case that mig-pilot needs to be aware of in the first place. but i'll consider it based on the idea that the complexity can be contained.
mod6: But certainly a step in the right direction. Will update again
as they are available. Salud!
mod6: An update on progress towards the privkey tools feature added [ import private key with scanning from a specified beginHeight ]: I have proven out the edge case previously mentioned, twice,
as expected. It can be resolved by doing a -rescan at any time. So far at least.
mod6: (still trying to catch up,
as you can see haha)

as i currently understand it, you need a 'binary star' system of two lan nodes for either to actually mine
Framedragger: eh, whatevs. i redirect the masses to f.a.q. etc
as needed.
BingoBoingo: ” moment, and the organization describes itself
as committed to defending "the heritage, identity and future of people of European descent in the United States, and around the world."" << Brian Leiter is a notorious aspie
phf: i'm pretty sure that ai memos are enough to rebuild computing from scratch. has architectural descriptions, cpu design, fabrication, language designs, text editors ("emacs" before it was taken over by rms is described in one of the ai-memos, both
as a standalone thing and
as set of TECO marcos), various algorithms
phf: mircea_popescu: csail (mit ai lab then) published "ai memos" from 1959 to sometime in early 2000s where they described a lot of "firsts" in computing in general. scheme spec was published by sussman and steele, lisp 1.5 compiler (first "self-hosting"), lisp machine architecture, etc. most papers are not so much ai
as computing in general.
mircea_popescu:
as much
as we might like the (self-unaware) lords involved, it can't be seriously argued that mit actually did much in cs.
mircea_popescu: and we'll look back on the age of the "idea man"
as a great again focus.
mircea_popescu: actually no, lessee. a try's about seven seconds, and then if something's found that's about another 10. you don't always find something, but if skilled enough you mostly do, so say you gotta make 4 steps a minute. each step calls for a random radian value, which meaningfully is about 9 bits but nevertheless comes
as a double which iirc is 64 bits. so you're doing 256 bits ie 4 bytes/minute.
Framedragger: oh, i know the issue. damn. basically
as part of its "have i archived this?" check it greps through log of "i archived this:"; the "dev" instance was crawling through a 500K logfile, the production one however has to cope with ~220M logfile. not feasible...
Framedragger: (just to be clear, there were two digits wrong (3.14159265_3_5), and the last one (it should go up by one due to proceeding digit).
as phf said, math.h has that constant defined, but eh:)
Framedragger: danielpbarron: and since you have three occurrences of it in 3.1415926545 may
as well make it into an actual constant var maybe? /trivial-grammer-nazi-notes
trinque: only insofar
as "they cured cancer"
Framedragger: (in .lt it's translated
as "they" which is prolly not very good)
trinque has a seething hatred of the mind that holds the hive
as the bedrock of reality, can cause a strong reaction.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-17 13:25 mircea_popescu: id they said nothing or this ? c) the principle "if you're going to say i'm a dog explain why!" is sound, but this is sadly not always possible. an eminent example of a class of cases when this isn't possible is when someone says something in direct and seeming wilful contradiction of logic. d) statements about you by others are statements about the world-you object
as perceived by them not about the i-you subject
as perceive
trinque:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-17#1584817 << could very well be that the habits of speech in RU and TX are so different
as to cause severe friction. same effect happens between TX and just about anywhere in US, too. wasn't confused about what "lowered into pederasty" meant though.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: hehe. anyway. drunkwalk it's extremely beautiful/elegant solution to very serious class of problems,
as exemplified in this minign thing. i'm having a ball with it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's something fundamentally visceral about the written page you're entirely inadherent to,
as seen here and in the case of clearsigns etc. pass by reference is not the same
as pass by value!
mod6: I did that,
as to not spam the channel here, and to try to think through what my entire thought might have been. If there is any merit to my thoughts, I'll post it somewhere.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, is there such a thing
as an "ai code commenter" ? specifically, rather than the hard problem of "human speech" or junk of that nature, is there any machine approach to turning compileable code into literate code (kuhn) ?
mircea_popescu: then again, if password is a1rPl4nE
as per debian best practices...
mircea_popescu: the dubious part is how exactly it'd pay, the wallet encryption is strong
as far
as we know.
mod6: It could place those in, just
as it does regular deeds.. I'd say, if anyone is a good lisp dev (phf, whomever) to work with trinque to get this feature put into place.
mod6: now. if you need to ship, this instant. you either do what you can,
as I did, or you do nothing until you can.
mod6: what do you propose
as the idea solution here?
mircea_popescu: paginate it and let me download
as many pages
as i wish
mircea_popescu: sensible, but even if it were - sadmods, a page worth 640mb may well not be worth doing
as such. really i gotta dld a jiggabit of data every time ?
a111: Logged on 2016-12-17 15:19 Framedragger: mircea_popescu: so you'd then perhaps say that, maybe, a transperson is doomed to not be able to reconcile i-you and world-you, and it is tragic to that person (but that *pretending*
as if one has integrated the two in that instance is very stupid)?
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-17#1584892 << i would say that pretending the integration "was already done",
as if it were some sort of artefact like an oven rather than a process, like respiration ; or pretending that "someone else" is responsible for it being done (such
as don't say word x in front of person y because o noes they're too frail to manage) is pure infantilism.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: back to welt der kunst for a moment : there is this (idiotarian) notion that the role of art is somehow "emotional" and a piece of crap is art if it "evokes" in the viewer. bullshit. the only point of art is exactly
as above : if it provides persuasive examples of the nature discussed.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: so you'd then perhaps say that, maybe, a transperson is doomed to not be able to reconcile i-you and world-you, and it is tragic to that person (but that *pretending*
as if one has integrated the two in that instance is very stupid)?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i am persuaded that it is correct to hold the ability to reconcile the i-you and the world-you correctly from both perspectives
as the one test of maturity of the individual. it is however trivial to empirically prove this is not always possible (which is the deep meaning
as well
as the intellectual relevancy of tragedy - and which is why the greeks or shakespeare matter, and some nigglet woman does not).
mircea_popescu: anyway, re the "world-you/i-you" dichotomy and the nonsensical "fundamental attribution error"/"socpsy" poppycock : the determinations of others
as to you are made in the context of world-you, and correct or incorrect in THAT context ; your determinations
as to you are made ~at your option~ in the context of i-you, and correct or incorrect in that context ; or in the context of world-you and correct or incorrect in THAT conte
Framedragger: haha! right, yeah. good to keep that in mind. (subconsciously, i think, that's why i abbreviated the term, it's pretty derp.) it's sad that some (actually) useful notions are held under its umbrella (such
as FAE, even though, yes, we've probably seen the latter defined elsewhere in other ways, and it's something that self-aware people tend to be conscious about anyway.)
Framedragger: ah yeah, i missed that the first time
as i had to run off, pity.

as wanna-be rebellious
as i sometimes pretend to be, re.
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-17#1584820 d), this is maybe clearest way of illustrating what fundamental attribution error (socpsy notion) is, and support it via phenomenological (pardon the tongue) means. i mean, fair enough
☝︎ mircea_popescu: d by you. this one true largest gap in the theory of knowledge can not in practice ever be bridged, and must be allowed for. e) i don't understand which of the two examples given is a strawman nor how do the two examples given map to the conversation
as it went. f) it seems to me very dubious altogether that there was a pecking order,
as in, who's teh greatest lord consideration involved. on 2nd pass analysis (cuz originally

☟︎☟︎ a111: Logged on 2016-12-16 18:17 mircea_popescu: what some psychologists then turn around and measure
as "integration". but in any case, it's trivially evident that ~the world~ may be good or bad, but not the subject. observable at all scales, from the freeranged girlfriend of your choice to the us propaganda discussing aleppo/mosul.
trinque: pecking order is unavoidable but not nearly
as interesting
as the actual subject there was.
mircea_popescu: f35 getting scrapped seems quite likely
as it stands now.
phf: i was saying re senate in the second phrase in reference to hamsters in first phrase, which was in reference to senate in the asciilifeform url, but the phrase itself was top hit for logs, which is referenced in the second phrase
as top hit, and in the first phrase
as unrelated lulz. how can this be any clearer
ben_vulpes: a recently compiled bitcoin node, running in its own directory, booted
as `LC_ALL=C ./bitcoin -datadir=<local_data_directory> -debug -printtoconsole -gen'
pete_dushenski:
as someone who just oversaw ownership of early 2000s lexus is300 that put on 40k km in a year, i'm not sure i'd recommend it unless you're pretty handy. not hard to work on, but parts aren't super cheap, it's a bit dicey in the winter, it's a ~very~ firm ride, and it's soooo hard on consumables (gas and oil).
ben_vulpes: which is particularly amusing,
as this stamped material is designed to line up perfectly for the whole run
ben_vulpes: fwiw, i find car-swearing-time doubles
as excellent design/thinking time.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: dude, walking out your front door is 'travelling to some shithole'. and no one will bring new car to you! so might
as well live a little. remember how fun chicago was ? or ba ?
pete_dushenski:
http://bringatrailer.com/auctions/ << plenty of solid, well-cared-for metal for under 10k here alf.
as the lots cover the continent, you can even make a road trip (blog story!) out of the adventure. also gives you a chance to play autions without playing eulora.
ben_vulpes: i don't think it's quite
as simple
as 'brew install eulora', although it was close
ben_vulpes: trinque: recent 'snowpaclypse' affected me /not one whit/,
as i could stroll to the train and be in city center more-or-less on domenad
trinque: it was just old
as shit and drove in too many different climates
trinque actually in the market for new vehicle
as of yesterday.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: carlos ghosn is understandably well known in the auto industry. he's a true lebzilianenchman (lebanese-brazilian-frenchman), meaning he has a strong aesthetic sense but he's also quite the fierce deal-maker. only in the last 5 years has akio toyoda risen to ghosn's level
as an overall strategist, product developer, and brand manager. alan mullaly and martin winterkorn were the only other two
mircea_popescu: anyway. the problem of very long lived actinides (like iodine 129) is certain to eventually drive burner designs. even if they're run
as two separate installatiosn
as currently the case for some insane reason (really, germany burns up uranium in light water reactor, then ships the leftover by train to france to be reburned in a special burner. could have done all in one place but hey.).
mircea_popescu: tis not so plain an' simple
as all that alfie. notwithstanding that yeah, prolly breeder reactors are going to take over
as we run out of space to put the waste ; nevertheless they're more expensive an' complicated and etc. simply larger bar.
Framedragger: asciilifeform:
as in, nuclear waste storage is a propped-up issue/narrative? interesting
mircea_popescu: in any case - mental models of logic,
as with mental models of anything found in nature -, are approximations. the same mechanism that allows a guy to isolate 0* from null.predicate allows one all sorts of psycho-imunological responses that are rather requisite to maintain the subjective notion of the self ~in a format comprehensible to itself~!
