shinohai: I'm ready.
Thanks
to mats I am not worried about space constraints any longer. Gonna
try and order some Ada materials soon and get up
to speed with you guise.
mod6: Anyway, seems like
there'll be a lot of
things
to keep you busy in
the near future if you want
to work on stuff. So,
there's
that anyway.
shinohai: I'm really glad
to hear
that, haven't had anything
to do much besides hunt for Qntra articles of late.
mod6: No worries, it's probably worth a read. Kinda getting
things back on
track.
shinohai: Yeah I'm going
to review
that when reading comprehension returns
to normal lol.
mod6: The biggest update comes from lastnight's congressional
transcript.
mod6: Oh yeah, seven-hooker-burby is
the way
to roll.
shinohai really needs one of
those Suburbans
that can hold 7 hookers discussed in
the old logs.
shinohai: Good here mod6, 'tis my birthday so making plans
to go out later, and you?
☟︎ mod6: Eleventeen is out of
the range of acceptable values, but a decent guess nevertheless. :]
mod6: Anyone else want
to make a guess or make a case for a different value?
mod6: I'd say
the result should be: 3.
mod6: <+PeterL> I'm not saying you should use
this, just
trying
to fix
the mistakes in
the linked code so people could explore it more << yeah, much appreciated. im on an adventure.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> but it is NOT a substitute for modern electric rng << hey, i guess
to an extent, i
totally agree. except, we don't have a modern electirc rng.
mod6: <+PeterL> I
took out some of
the "sneaky" pythonisms, might be a bit clearer now? << looks
that way, I'm gonna play with
this a bit
tonight. But I did quickly
try it out.
Thanks again.
mod6: ;;later
tell PeterL hey!!
Thanks!
adlai: that joke would probably even restore david foster wallacefrom
the grave
adlai: in other news, i'm seriously considering arranging for a bitcoin miner so i can work on p2pool while in
the farm
adlai likes
to read and
type, shoot and snipe...
the verse is
the worste but
the rest is
the beste
PeterL: I'm not saying you should use
this, just
trying
to fix
the mistakes in
the linked code so people could explore it more
adlai wonders whether what he should really work on,
these days, is completing his "Bitcoin Competence Certification" (the
trilema
thing)
PeterL: and now
they can have "provably unbiased" dice
adlai always preferred
to use
the I Ching ritual, with
the yarrow stalks, repeated ad nauseam until you fall asleep from boredom
PeterL: aha, had it as false and
then changed
to 0, oops
adlai: PeterL: Returns False if any of
the
three rolls are equall. '''
PeterL: and I fixed a couple bugs, like
the mismatched variable name and some missing float casts in
the
test, and I added a rudimentary prompt if you run
the script from a shell
PeterL: I
took out some of
the "sneaky" pythonisms, might be a bit clearer now?
PeterL: I cleaned up
the python snippet you linked for
the dice debiasing
adlai: oh damn,
this
thing is getting smarter every day
adlai needs
to rearrange his physical world, will report back from
the next station. peace be unto all!
mircea_popescu: sounds like a zappa 10 minute song. "Come on baby come get some of
that icky love
adlai has some candidate
titles, will mull
them over while he procrastinatesthe sysadmination of
things
mircea_popescu: and wait, i wished a specific
title ? i r old and forget.
mircea_popescu: does it have an url or are you
too special for uniformity of resource locators ?
adlai is reporting live from
the playroom
adlai: so mircea_popescu, your commandment will be fulfilled, but i doubt i'll
title my blog exactly as you wished. (sosumi)
mircea_popescu: [the subtext here being
that who
the fuck
tells his fucking name omaifuckinggerd. what if he were josh wilderbaum, just for
that once ?]
adlai would rather come from a vat
that into a
tube!
mircea_popescu: anyway,
that hammond
thing is a nec plus ultram (< davout ) in derpage. EVEN AT
THE
TIME HIS LIFE WAS ON
THE LINE,
the shmuck did yet still not know his phone is not on quiet.
this person has no children in
the house, never had a girfriend he was
two
timing, grew up without parents, etc.
adlai: ah well, i'll have
to search for a better movie
to recommend next
adlai: it sounds like you figured out
the
twist
too early, and lost interest in
the rest
adlai: forgive my brashness, but did you watch it
through
to
the end or quite partway?
mircea_popescu: i'd be shitting my pants if i had
to do crowd control in unknown crowd with a fucking assault rifle omfg.
mircea_popescu: i only made it
to about
there. buncha idiots with assault rifles running "the most brilliant coup in history". apparently
thye missed
the "adequacy of weapon
to
task 101" class at sane people academy.
took
the hollywood altreality class instead.
adlai: my favorite scene was
the one with
the jewish asthmatic
mircea_popescu: no stained panties ? nobody had a little girly accident ? nothing ? just, military level americans ? where
the fuck.
mircea_popescu: and while we're on it, where
the everloving fuck did
they find
those incredibly pliable, ready and
trained set of people of walmart ? i bet you
that on a million dollar budget you can't get
together actual streetwalkers in new york
that strip when
they hear "i'ma need you
to strip".
mircea_popescu: you know
there's advertisements all over buenos aires for "classes de smartphone".
they depict on cheap paper a lock and an ancient brick phone halfmerged.
mircea_popescu: no but seriously... peter hammond derp leaves phone behind
to be a hero, has not sufficient familiarity with how
the phones work
to put it in quiet mode ?
adlai: mircea_popescu: SORRY
TO HEAR YOU DIDN'T ENJOY
THE MOVIE oopslock is infecshus i guess.
mircea_popescu: NEXT
THEY'RE GOING
TO CLAIM
THINGS DON'T START WITH
THE BEST GREATEST EMPIRE OF EVER!
mircea_popescu: it really burns reddit /
the average curve-thrown ustard, also.
davout: pons asinorum, non compos mentis,
today's lessons
davout: one of
the cool
things about
this chan is
that i get
to learn a bit of latin every day!
jurov: mircea_popescu: pls
to mpex
mircea_popescu: because yeah,
they
totally don't need france's vote once mexico invades.
mircea_popescu: shinohai it's part of
the us' incredibly lulzy "we may be
the dumbest kid in school but
this other kid picked his nose" attempt
to use
the immigration wave
their warcrimes
throughout
the middle east caused.
mircea_popescu: there is
this
theory
that his brain at some point worked, years ago. i subscribe
to it. sadly he has been silent for years ; his newfound interest in
things and verbal flurries on
topics may be interesting, but principally
to whatever paid medical professional. i'm neither paid nor a doctor, and in any case i am of
the firm conviction
that he is non compos mentis, and unable
to evaluate any statement.
mircea_popescu: davout i have no idea as
to what kakobrekla is ranting/raving about nor any interest.
davout: anyway, as soon as i receive
the additional cash i'll craft
the unsigned
transaction and publish it for public review
davout: i disagree with
the conclusions

tell adlai
that inside man crap's unwatchable.
mod6: i'd love
that shit i bet
mod6: now
that is a solid idea
mircea_popescu: mod6 but if you ever wanna retire, could prolly buy a
thousand acres in cordoba and get a nice ranch going. possibly for less
than what retirement costs in
the us.
mircea_popescu: eh,
they all wanna be carrie bradshaw. except
they don't even put as much effort into it as
the average midwestern hayseed chick
BingoBoingo: So
that's where
the "Argentine Cows ranch
themselves" comes from.
mircea_popescu: as
the old guys die,
there's no young guys
to replace
them.
mircea_popescu: but you can't ranch without cowboys ; and argentines are
truly retarded.
mod6: i guess it does seem like maybe
the
terrain out
there would be good for grazing. kinda like
the mid-west used
to be without
the fences. ala kansas, oklahoma,
texas circa 1800-1880
BingoBoingo would not be surprised if
there were some soy farmers out
there who had not intentionally
touched a bean.
BingoBoingo: Is
there actually labor in soy beyond maintaining
the machinery? Soy is hella mechanized here.
mircea_popescu: but
these days,
they mostly do soy. less skilled labour involved, and
they're idiots.
mircea_popescu: historically, argentina was built by
the prussian market for leather.
mod6: or how did
that go?
mod6: I
thought you were saying once
that it was mostly like soy farming or w/e?
mod6: mircea_popescu: so
they've got a lot of cattle in .ar
then?
