mircea_popescu: none of that last century "by god i will dig this mountain up and reshape it
as a pineapple" piss and vinegar feelin' left.
mircea_popescu: buterin was circling bitcoin (
as an outsider) a coupla years before you showed up. where's his millions ?
ben_vulpes: wow cool 2 assignments in
as many seconds
mircea_popescu: for instance, everyone thinks of theymos
as "tardstalk owner", except that forum was made by sirius ; and was quite acceptable before it went to shit.
mircea_popescu: most of the honest (
as oposed to gavinous) people originally involved with the project went away quietly.

http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-07#1579050 << "image"
as in "lisp image"? the reason i ask is because reindenting blocks of code for a multiple-value-bind makes unnecessary patch noise.
mircea_popescu: "my mom
as i knew her died the moment she hooked up with her old associates and went back to stripping."
mircea_popescu: phf nevertheless, it does say "
AS WE KNOW IT". clearly it's a knowledge problem not a being problem neh.

as a sexp, common lisp's input is a ~character stream~. builtin dispatch ~mostly~ operates on forms (like #p #. (concatenate 'string "foo" "bar")), but not always, like #\; comment reads till end of line.
mircea_popescu: because
as it is commonly the case, the only people who should still be here are the ones who died already.
mircea_popescu: whereas my intelligence is defined very much in low bio terms,
as an antonym to sluggishness. entirely to how you score "lively" colts and puppies.
phf: right, the healers in the comments are basically happy inmates, telling her that everything's going to be ok
as long
as she sticks to prescribed pill regiment
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski maybe they were confused
as to how "kid lick ton" translates into chinese ?
mircea_popescu: THEY WONT FUCKING YIELD. exactly 0 approach for the actual issues involved, no you can't own your body, no you can't want actualities ; please consider THIS approach to a purely symbolic relationship with reality. oh, "imagining yourself
as a 3yo" won't do it for you ? ok, ok, there's other layers of indirection available! pick one! YOU MUST PICK ONE!
mircea_popescu: glod, evidently cognate, is "dirt" in romanian. not so much
as the generative mud but
as unwelcome dirt.
mircea_popescu: and
as per the "Won't fucking yield" disbelief, they'll go to their shallow grave kicking and screaming about how great the reich is and how black women matter or some dorkage.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile the us still pretends it doesn't know who or what the icbc is,
as discussed last year and etc

☝︎☟︎ Framedragger: i've joined about the time you asked about ppusd, getting reminded via nostalgia. there was no interaction
as of yet :p
Framedragger: (well, 'alive'
as in there are nyms logged in.)
jurov: that everything must be categorized
as forbidden or allowed
mircea_popescu: which is the deep reason for a major redistribution of research resources from other fashionable causes to cancer in thepast decade,
as cartman aptly observed.
mircea_popescu: since recently dna understanding improved significantly, and the workings of the immune system, esp in its binding functions, became more understood ; and since complex molecule synthesis muchly developed
as well, a universal cure for cancer based on the principle of getting alpha-amanitin bound to a specific tumour cell seeking protein seems altogether very feasible.
mircea_popescu: contradicts my naive expectations
as to what "optimization" is.
mircea_popescu: it works
as a retrospective, "looking at this anthill, it becomes evident it mostly managed to feed itself historically". yes. so... what.
mircea_popescu: "i've never seen anything remotely
as annoying
as prolog, with the notable exception of makefiles, running on top of a wonderful inference engine of their own" << ahaha!
mircea_popescu:
as the idea is to make ai not a"i". THAT we already have.
mircea_popescu: but on the other side of the coin, "
As you probably already know, but my trademark thoroughness still obliges me to say, AI stands for "Artificial Intelligence" and comes in two flavors, "deterministic" (like minmax) and "statistical" (like SVM). The combined efforts of various researches lead to an important breakthrough in this field, known to meteorologists
as "the AI winter". This is the season when you can't get any VC m
mircea_popescu: "kids will virtual currency too" ? what is this, illiterate indians will preet
as well ?
phf: oh yeah, of course i remember it
as "everyone was children", but there was a cutoff point. "younger brother" sort of thing
mircea_popescu:
as in, orcs flooded new york ; bereft of any means to do anything ; ended up in harlem.
a111: Logged on 2016-10-24 16:26 mircea_popescu: "Avoid easy selections, such
as qwerty or password. If you want to pick an easy-to-remember but somewhat unique password, consider a variation of a word, such
as a1rPl4nE for airplane."
mircea_popescu: anyway ; still not entirely convinced
as to WHAT to use to encrypt the eulora-privkey with.
Framedragger: hmh. i guess it counts
as "key verification" then. hm
trinque:
as far
as the lying wire is concerned, that's solved by a different gadget
☟︎ Framedragger: oh, sure, i understand that the scheme
as currently implemented *actually works* :p
mircea_popescu: not only is it done, and done tons, contrary to his "never" : but it is eminently administrable and accountable,
as i just proved.
mircea_popescu: seems this is exactly defined
as "get X's key from Y you trust". observe :
mircea_popescu: diana_coman that part, of "who", is kinda baked in the design
as it is, because of the .seals
phf: this happens to squats all the time, but i don't think that the fatalities are
as high in civilized world, because people tend to understand what they get into when they squat. sucks, because it's likely to make getting warehouses for legitimate use trickier in the future
phf: ben_vulpes: if you were to use bind everywhere you can use it (e.g.
as a replacement for let, destructuring-bind) your code is going to look sufficiently different that it's not clear if you're even programming in common lisp at that point. makes the result less readable for other cl programmers, and code becomes harder to future proof. the tradeoff is generally seen
as not worth it (too intrusive for little payoff)
Framedragger: (the 79.98.25.168 pop is interesting tho,
as some of these hosting-company-i-use boxen get provisioned with everything installed, and i'm sure
as fuck that "not all" customers regen ssh host keys. so there may be more pops, or other interesting goodness. probably the whole /16 is worthy of getting properly port-scanned, lots of broken stuff there i'm sure - if anyone has time etc)
mircea_popescu: and they always package "sid" (ie, devel)
as opposed to stable
mircea_popescu: why does he figure himself
as a "perfect user" i have nfi - before a business comms system works for you, YOU GOTTA HAVE A BUSINESS.
trinque:
as I pondered the thing it also brought from the dark recesses of my mind the "semantic web"
mircea_popescu: anyway, when i say "don't have these problems but others" i specifically mean
as evident in sexual behaviour (cue that "scandal" when sarkozy took some random woman to random event and the london-based journo-hos had a collective aneurism and kept blathering about how they'll bus supporters over)
mircea_popescu: the simple notion that i shall read the string X
as /y" rather than /z" because the entity labeled X "knows how their name is spelled", for instance, is exactly of the nature of "you must include X in your item because Y law" ; or of the "sexual harassment" ; or of ALL OTHER THINGS.
mircea_popescu: once there's a "king", in the english tradition, who can do patently idiotic stuff such
as require "bonded warehouses" (look it up) and "control trade" (please, do look it up) then "property" of a sort emerges. by contrast, in dutch world, where no such king and no such layered idiocy thereby, also property. but substantially different property.
mircea_popescu: i mean i've been toying with it in pieces such
as "what's the tmsr gdp", which is very much exactly the same thing
as discussion here, but anwyay.
mircea_popescu: "the place where you drink" or "the public house" aka "brothel", ie, the place where disorderly (
as per anglican/puritan definitions of order) is tolerated, ie, a tolerance house ?
mircea_popescu: in the russian world, where drunks do exist, but the drinking place (which is NOT a pub, even if translated
as such because what you gonna do) is supported by a social conventionthat has nothing to do with drunkedness
mircea_popescu: in the english world, where drunks and pubs exist, and the observation re pubs existing because drunks, not because sunday drinkers holds, there are a number of objects defined, such
as the fact that a pub is really a public house (which is relevant if for instance you wonder why it should need or want a permit to exist).
mircea_popescu: it could be cpu costs a dime or a testicle, the issue of price is ulterior in this discussion, makes about
as much sense
as "the utilty of the sun"
mircea_popescu: you skipped the good part, which is : "If you are indeed a chip maker, this is when you find out why fabless chip companies are worth so much more than the equally fabless vendors of "IPs" such
as CPUs and DRAM controllers.".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not a matter of "won't run". your gf runs in the bedroom just
as well
as woman runs in gangbang party.
phf: also depends if we're still putting out massive interdependent designs,
as opposed to some modular architectures like greenarrays or scheme81 or
mircea_popescu: be that
as it may, the conceptual item solves two major open questions here in tmsr forum : a) "why is this proggy 100mb ?!?" "because it has 100mn datapoints in the ai massager, let it be" ; b) "why does this proggy want to call home ?" "because whenever you accept a design and put it in production, all other installations want to review the datapoint, it's valuable."
mircea_popescu: so you know, "autorouting" is "a small matter" and "a solved problem" except in reality it's exactly something to be solved via "artificial intelligence"
as understood today, ie, mega-matrix of mostly 0 parameter running a markov process.
mircea_popescu: walter the scheme here proposed is that a project (linuxbios) which was useful on account of actually having drivers for extant hardware was killed by hardware maker conspiracy. on its now useless ruins,
as it's dead, an idiot with a "sexual identity" political agenda tried to build a grassroot activism thing called libreboot ; and some unrelated packrats with a penchant for software try to build a cluttered warehouse called
mircea_popescu: (alf would have liked this one, the rats live so closely packed they have cultural constructs re intramural participation in sexual congress - the woman is offended but subverts it
as normalcy. OF FUCKING COURSE the "next door neighbour" would play music to go with our intimate discussions. this is soviet america and the walls are thin!)
