PeterL: so you are saying you are going
to stand as opposition
to yourself?
mircea_popescu: but be
that as it may :
the cathars (from greek, with a k
there) are one in a string of organised anticlerical opposition
to
the official doctrine, politically speaking.
PeterL: <mircea_popescu> what did your evaluator make of
that line ? "i suppose i could be my own judas, bla bla" ? << well, yes, sometimes I just skim over half your statements
mircea_popescu: you seem
to
think it's an isolated and meaningless incident. i'm willing
to bet it's both systematic and fundamental, moreso
than any positive principle you might identify on deliberate survey.
PeterL: somehow I glazed over
the whole second half of your sentence, I don't understand what cathars have
to do with Judas?
mircea_popescu: what did your evaluator make of
that line ? "i suppose i could be my own judas, bla bla" ?
mircea_popescu: "<mircea_popescu> i suppose i could be my own judas, in a strange sort of kathar approach
to it."
PeterL: now I feel lost, where did we see cathars
that I ignored?
danielpbarron: mircea_popescu> once
the messiah comes back it's
the end of
the show << no,
there's supposed
to be a
thousand year reign of Christ on earth before
the whole
thing is destroyed
mircea_popescu: don't
tell me you just ignored
the
thing you didn't understand!
mircea_popescu: fancy
that,
the anglos spell it with a c like sane people for once. heh.
PeterL: I figure retirement is when you get
to do whatever you want
mircea_popescu: right ? exactly. what did YOU
think retirement is ? "finally rid of
the kids"
PeterL: what retirement? you get
to keep living without all
the deprs holding you back
mircea_popescu: "oh you've been with
the corp for 55 years here's a gold watch" ? fuck
that.
mircea_popescu: well i dunno how much
the xtian plagiarists understood of
the
thing
they were
trying
to steal&rename, but
mircea_popescu: hm. shouldn't
the fact
that he has come again be pretty bad news ?
mircea_popescu: i suppose i could be my own judas, in a strange sort of kathar approach
to it.
PeterL: did deedbot not import
the old WoT?
mircea_popescu: thinking about it, a comment like "x never did his six months it appears" is unlikely
to help x in any way. it used
to be
that kids were
trained
to
throw an exception whenever something
they didn't understood happened. by now however, ustards especially, just ignore
the whole
thing
they didn't understand and continue as if it never happened.
mircea_popescu: and wouldn;t you know it, no nsa report. hey asciilifeform how is it
that BingoBoingo hanbot jurov etc all manage
to do
their reports in
time and you i always have
to remind ?
mircea_popescu: agorecki> how would mp shoot down a blockchain protocol change? I've never seen him post on
the bitcoin dev mailing list <<<< ahahaha what
the fuck is
this now.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes> "DoS" seems rather farfetched, a readthrough of
the DoS usage implies it's more of an ad-hoc block/txn rule enforcement mechanism. <<< it is exactly what it is.
mircea_popescu: if you care
to know,
the
top of
the line limo in most of
the world for
the previous 30 years before
that was black, weighed
two
tons + made of mostly sheet metal, and did about 5 kms
to
the liter.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes> 1982 muscle car driven at 75-95 mph for 160 miles gets 18.25 mpg << engines advanced significantly past 30 or so years ; idiocies of
the eu envirofreaks and
their us-based fanbois notwithstanding.
danielpbarron: davout, what's
the deal with paymium? no qntra? not even a blog post?
ben_vulpes: and yet few actually went so far as
to implement
that which
they were voting for
ben_vulpes: the mainstreamers had
this notion
that miners would vote on
their acceptance of a certain fork by including some data in
the block
agorecki: no. I'm a prisoner of
the illuminati... I'm afraid I missed
that event...
agorecki: the ones
that let all of
the devices work without having a full copy of
the blockchain
ben_vulpes: agorecki: do you remember
the "voting with blocks" fiasco?
danielpbarron: the current goal is specifically
to make sure
the current miners don't use it, and all
the bitcoin companies meet here anyway
agorecki: if miners were using his client is what I was meaning. don't know how hard it would be
to get bit coin companies
to use his software
agorecki: alright, so if he doesn't like a change it doesn't get into
the client and
therefore wouldn't be used
agorecki: so you're making a better bitcoin and hijacking
the name?
ben_vulpes: $up agorecki
therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/
ben_vulpes: i wanted
to see his brain melt when you linked him
to
the foundation, ml etc
phf: agorecki: and you come all
the way
to
tell us
that?
that's awfully considerate of you
agorecki: how would mp shoot down a blockchain protocol change? I've never seen him post on
the bitcoin dev mailing list
phf: ben_vulpes: i'm not,
that might be
the problem
ben_vulpes: phf: are you familiar with
trilema.com/2016/the-necessary-prerequisite-for-any-change-to-the-bitcoin-protocol/ ?
phf: ben_vulpes: i don't mean it in a sense of clarify your sloppy
thinking, i mean it in a sense of i have no idea what you
talking about
phf: pretty sure
that lisp code is going sentient
ben_vulpes: phf: correctly restated: "in
the context of producing nonce-th block/bit digests per 'prerequisite'"
ben_vulpes: i've yet
to determine if ndos survives serialization
ben_vulpes: punkman: kinda orthogonal from serialization of blocks
to disk
phf: what you mean in
the context of producing hashes?
ben_vulpes: but i do mean cblock specifically, and in
the context of producing hashes.
ben_vulpes: "DoS" seems rather farfetched, a readthrough of
the DoS usage implies it's more of an ad-hoc block/txn rule enforcement mechanism.
phf: ben_vulpes: you mean cblock specifically or
the whole cblock/ctransaction DoS mechanism?
ben_vulpes: does
this CBlock->nDos
thing actually matter?
BingoBoingo: Seriously,
the window sticker numbers are a lie
ben_vulpes: give or
take a figure of significance or
two.
ben_vulpes: in other completely unrelated news, i went out
to what passes for wine country here
to refresh
the office cellars. found some delicious bottles for not absurd prices, lovely people, etc. but! stunner
to me at least:
trinque: will fix,
ty for
telling me
mircea_popescu has been on a crusade
to detrain (mostly women) from
the retarded habit of generalizing summarization as displayed here for a decade now.
mircea_popescu: fuck him,
the stupid whore
that spawned him and
the drunk she spawned him with.
gribble: Error: You haven't asked me a command; perhaps you want
to see someone else's more.
To do so, call
this command with
that person's nick.
mircea_popescu: (also, how
to know if nerdy chick is really into weird, or just namedropping
the mainstream-famous set)
danielpbarron: i
think it was probably a genocide (as opposed
to a war or however
the
turks spin it) but
that's probably more humiliating a stance for
the armenians
to
take
danielpbarron: i'm not bitter about it; seems
to me
those
that survived are better off for it
danielpbarron is a descendant of armenians who escaped
the genocide
phf: i'm vaguely disappointed
that chinese didn't preserve
tibet as a kind of natural habitat, but had
to go civilizing
the place
mircea_popescu: fancy
that, do you suppose konspiraci, or do you suppose idiocy is clever in
the same way everywhere.
