as a spec to how a node within a wot graph is going to operate by default in relation to text
mircea_popescu: phf i don't think stallman, for all his posturing, was muich in the philosophy department. seriously, ima have a special right to use code ? tell you what - have the inalienable freedom to use weapons, in any manner i deem fit, such
as against the us president, and to use the penis, and plates of pasta, and napkin scribblings and anything else.
phf: i'm not so much interested in "freedom" aspect of it, but
as a way to construct a coherent position on tmsr computing
phf: well, i'm trying to see if this could use this
as a glue to tie V and stan's laws of sane computing
phf: - The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing
as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
phf: - The freedom to run the program
as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).
mircea_popescu: phf i'm game for a full analysis of them if you care to state any. the problem broadly is that they're nonsense
as-found.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: perhaps. but i think its
as simple
as "adding idiots to something good ruins it". usenet was similar...
reydev: so, where are the web of trust ratings stored by the way...
as in, who controls the database

as well
as the practicalities of registering one. this is a serious project, and i expect 100s of hours spent reading up on it. gpgram me about it.

As a not-completely-cynical participant in a democratic society and a half-assed amateur philosopher, I’m about
as turned off by Yarvin
as I could be."
trinque: about time I updated ratings
as well

as an obscure bitcoin punk, jeffrey wilcke, bernd lapp ("bern lapp's background and experience in management experience spawns many years"), stefano bertolo, yessin schiegg, willioam mougayar, thomas greco (omise), and vladislav martynov. see

mircea_popescu:
as long
as you expect your profession to be what you say, you're necessarily an amateur, looking at magazine depictions of fthe profession in question
mircea_popescu: understanding this first point is what even allows the doctor to be A DOCTOR, ie, professional.
as opposed to amateur, ie, quack.
thestringpuller: so isn't it a bit odd that Slock.It is refusing to release the security audit of The DAO? It really looks
as if this is straight up MtGox 2.0. Pretty sure someone inside slock.it hacked the DAO and got a huge payoff.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: dead
as disco << hey. hey. disco is kinda cool. daft punk's newest album is straight disco.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform think of it
as the equivalent of mining for street power blockchain
mircea_popescu: and forget stuff like bauxite. you can't have
as much
as a truckload of books delivered by printer.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-29#1492644 << amusingly, judging by the comment count on the official announcement of the latest blunder ("for best results running our fix for the attack - please don't run it at all!"), even 1k total seems exaggerated. ethereum is dead
as disco, will take at least 6 months to re-inflate. prolly more like 18. and i somehow doubt the "many years spanned by experience in experience" people have t

mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-29#1492583 << actually that happened in the 90s. all the jam tomorrow "web
as a business" "venture capital" bs is exactly that - pivoting to try and survive the situation where consumers don't have money. pretend data is valuable and someone cares, pretend advertising is a business, get people to "invest" in this nonsense, it's a thing.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: this was true even in the old days of gold coins. consider the case of two neighbouring countries, each with the same exact mirror arrangements, same pop count, same 100 tons of gold total, circulating
as 100mn 1gram pieces.
trinque:
as their ability to wield economic activity in the world declines, they grow smaller and less powerful
trinque: asciilifeform │ wtf does it mean to 'cost' the folks with the printing press something. << same
as it cost whatever fake "elite" zimbabwe had, but more spectacularly?
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-28#1492457 << so basically,
as part of its ongoing cold war against insufficiently-pliable torvalds, the usg through its usg.twitter agency... repurposed what it claims to be "linus' account", ie, a voodoo doll they made for him. and this somehow is supposed to reflect on the man ? why, because we're all from the great nation of africa and ergo fucktarded in the brain ?

as late
as 1800 romanian popular geography included "muscali cu coada", literally, moscow people had tails, like a cat.

midnightmagic: asciilifeform: If you are interested in a copy of the SKS keyset
as of.. I want to say mid-2012 or so (the same one that was used
as evidence that Craig Wright backdated his keys) I can stuff it into an archive for you.
mircea_popescu: lmao,
as part of the democrats' "bitcoin is terrorist money" initiative ?
mircea_popescu: re raspil, is this a sort of ro "fumat"
as in "s-a baut tot, s-a fumat tot"
phf: hmm i wonder what's english equivalent for распил. i think the word is
as apropos, but just doesn't exist

as i understand it, the heterogeneity of clients in the wild naturally prefers the status quo
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and it's not even fucking inborn, it's TRAINED! whip "lazy" girl that got to 20 and never achieved anything, she becomes in a year or two
as self-driven and capable
as you'd like it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this exists, obv.
as much
as a backup chain store is "dark node" after all.
mircea_popescu: but, factually, there COULD be other reasons behind it. such
as you know, hosts offer centos 7 prestamped on dedicated boxes, and so therefore, everyone runs centos 7

☟︎ mircea_popescu: use the fact that the machine
as is, runnign whatever crap it runs, can still do millions of cycles a second, and can store billions and trillions of bytes.
mircea_popescu: same principle
as in machine translation, search engines, etc.
mircea_popescu: ocr is really a good fit for the markov chains
as ai they do
mircea_popescu: scans
as bitmaps are ~in the situation of wine
as stum.
mircea_popescu: there's a serious problem with digital handling of text,
as we have it atm.
mircea_popescu: conventionally, not ALWAYS to be treated
as inferior, but that's more a flavour thing than anything else.
BingoBoingo: Who knows? Anyways I think it identified
as femayo
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo obese fuck "who's always been" never in his life felt so "ashamed"
as when the life support got a little threatened ?
mircea_popescu: there is no "elephant"
as a categorically different item
shinohai: No but I see the benefits of having rpc commands use it,
as I would love to see those commands separated from daemon

as the next guy (er, gal)-but what happened to the factories and the people that used to work in them? Their lives were largely destroyed by "free trade" and deindustrialization. We were once a producer society, and we were an economically and culturally healthier countr

☟︎ phf: one guy (support) got it in his head that he's going to open a london branch of the company, he regularly arranges meetings with random uk business representatives to discuss along these lines. i heard he had some kind of meeting with richard branson
as part of a small select group, etc. etc. mind you this has long been shot down by the owners
as utterly insane and shut the fuck up. doesn't deter him.
phf: 1776 is the biggest one, they have daily talks on how to succeed
as a woman ceo, workshops on how to learn ruby. probably a good subject for a blog post, a tour of 1776 on an average day..
