phf: i was thinking of maybe making standalone keywords search for a word, but if you want to grep, surround it with quotes. "t" will behave as now, where's t will behave as "^t " or " t$" or " t "
mircea_popescu: (incidentally - to dragon's eyes we work as if we were there. recall - you ftp'd to site then had it read into irc ?)
asciilifeform: but it also helped that enemy could not even for a millisecond masquerade as a real person.
mircea_popescu: i suppose the admin interface as-was does not provide a ready way to cancel bets that had already closed at the whatever arbitrary timepoint. but still, database is database, what.
mircea_popescu: "One thing to be aware of: the bets that were cancelled because of the transition are still visible on the site and have all been resolved as "NO". " uh... ok ?
asciilifeform: as somebody said to a famous aircraft designer: 'FLY in it?! i won't WALK under it'
mircea_popescu: AND if you get a hardon while needing to pee, which is why you're there, it'll be a bitch to get yourself out of it as pressure is a signal.
mircea_popescu: and you get hard-ons for all sorts of dumb reasons such as chick's perfume.
mircea_popescu: but i also didn't pretend i'm a woman or anything. just, you know, these sorts of rules, psshh. they're lulzy because the pretense is always one way (protect teh modesty of teh ladies, o noes, as if), whereas the actual cause is exactly opposite (dudes can't fucking piss with women there).
mircea_popescu: for that matter, the fed is spending all the resources of pretty much everyone in finance speaking english today to try and come out with a "passible solution" to mp's problem, that they doublespeak as "market stability" and so on and so forth.
mircea_popescu: etc. you can not in fact find a "blue chip" as the notion has been tarnished today that does anything else as its business than... that.
mircea_popescu: hanbot i have nfi about etsy really, but stuff like amazon definitely has actual business power behind it. google likes to pretends it does, also. i do not believe them, and the desperation fluff pieces a la "artificial intelligence" are so transparently tailored to satisfy the investor's dream needs (for an investor that's apparently pretty stupid), they count as proof to me.
mircea_popescu: otherwise, as you know, art projects, they're worth exactly what the [usg] rich patron says they're worth, for as long as that lasts (not usually long)
hanbot: as long as it's user generated content, yknow?
mircea_popescu: yes, but this is what's known as the novelty penny.
mircea_popescu: but skimming being what it is, people always tried to feed their stuff with shit [say, indian traffic], which'd get high "productivity" but obviously low value (as what indian is spending 30 bux online in 2003?)
mircea_popescu: the thing had developped to the degree someone made a thumb sorter sometime in 2002 or so, which sorted the imagaes by how clicked they were, so people could manage their tgps with less effort. as a side yielded all sorts of interesting anthropological results. for instance... hm. shit this is getting more involved than i thought.
mircea_popescu: preview galleries] as an attempt to entice "users" to sign up with paysites. large affiliate model spawned up. the idea being that whern you click on an image, you're taken somewhere - that's blind click skim.
mircea_popescu: (blind click skim, which apparently is entirely unknown to google, as per usual - jesus that shit's worthless, the answers it has you only actually need if you're retarded, and everything else it has no clue about - is this concept from the old days when internet porn still made money, but after the glory days when it made serious money. the silver age so to speak. it consisted of a bunch of people making free tgps [thumbnail
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron aha. seriously, if one sat down to figure the actual value of these social media things, they'd be surprised how well they line up with actual historical datapoints, such as "what slashdot sold for" etc.
danielpbarron: the 1.2k "clicks" were to my twatter profile though.. so not nearly as good
mircea_popescu: shit bro, that's what, half hour's work a la http://trilema.com/2016/files-from-the-war-on-the-web-today-literotica/ or about four dollars' worth, provided twitter traffic is actually as productive as blind click skim. which it probably isn't.
danielpbarron: mircea_popescu> and in other news, holy shit check out the scam of the future << sounds like a copy-cat of "warhammer" which I think had a medieval theme; the figures come unpainted and you're supposed to paint them yourself. i think that's more of the point as a little art project although i'm sure the price is ridiculous
asciilifeform: history of idiot kings is as long as history of kings.
pete_dushenski: might as well jfkconvertible it then
asciilifeform: as 'quad chopper' from 2000 metres can also deliver shaped charge.
pete_dushenski: gunports make plenty of sense, as does the fact that tmsr will end up redesigning personal transportation along with computing and everything else besides
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: lol i won't even try to guess what you think i should think about the alberta wildfires, but it's pretty damn lulzy to watch the reigning socialist party flail impotently as they attribute the projected 1/3rd loss of ~the country's~ economic growth for the quarter to "karma" because "karbon"
mod6: <+ben_vulpes> browsers frequently pass newlines from forms as \r\n << werd thanks for the quick response :]
mircea_popescu: anywya : as the graph progresses past the antecedent of a leaf, it therefore goes outside the event horizon of that leaf.
mircea_popescu: thinking about it, my enthalpy-based objections seem to come out of left field. somehow it seemed obvious to me that this property of "cone of knowledge" as per particle physics is part of v,
phf: antecedent relationship goes backwards though. x<-y perhaps means y points at x as a parent without x's knowledge
mircea_popescu: in my mind, these two are not ambiguous, because correctly working graphaton would represent them respectively as
mircea_popescu: right, keep to alphabet order as historical.
mircea_popescu: i was thinking yest, "the solution here prolly is to forbid X containing multi As".
mircea_popescu: back to the issue of substance. the idea is that whatever any current implementation may do, a situation where : 1) X takes A from 1 to 2 and B from 1 to 2 ; 2) Y takes A from 2 to 3 and B from 3 to 3 and 3) Z takes A from 2 to 4 and B from 3 to 4 should be represented as X->Y->Z only, and not as X->Y->Z, X->Z
mircea_popescu: and as more people get involved this will be our bane, because it's really fucking difficult to correctly mark the walls and the scaffolding.
mircea_popescu: phf the thing remains, it's risky to take tmsr prototypes and extract meaning as if they were definitive canonical implementations of concepts. they aren't, yet.
ben_vulpes: produces the same hash as the submitted file
ben_vulpes: browsers frequently pass newlines from forms as \r\n
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: mega-lol re above, given as i saw an 'official' ar diplomatic tango demo today!
mircea_popescu: i got as far ; but i don't see where or how, and his example is broken
asciilifeform: about as thick, and long, as my thumb.
ben_vulpes: again, if i recall correctly, asciilifeform's v will press all of the same-leaf-level patches as the given patch, /up to the given patch (inclusive)/ in alphabetical order
ben_vulpes: as in, given this patchset, and this particular patch, apply all of the antecedents in the correct order.
ben_vulpes: > press as a graph transition << would you elaborate?
phf: but that doesn't guarantee a clean press as a graph transition. it only guarantees clean press when you topo sort the graph
mod6: does it work everytime as long as the privkey is valid?
mod6: anyway, just as illustration

mircea_popescu: there is no such thing as "boosters". if there were, people'd just buy the booster and then that would become the basic game mechanic.
mod6: then we can continue to round out that stuff as we go on.
trinque: it means to have your species as the dominant predatory species in a given area
asciilifeform: i obviously can't speak for mircea_popescu , but personally even cunt is not a get-out-of-biodiesel-free card as far as i'm concerned.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu seems to idealize the poor and stupid because - i suppose - when they come with cunts, those work just as well as any other cunt
mircea_popescu: nobody is going to go "oh i am so impressed by the unexpected arguments this young chap has espoused on the internet, i'm going to now change my priors" anymore than you're going to go "o hey, the irc has convinced me, i am now finally moving out of the us". people've made their life choices, and that's that, reality exists only to either promote their personal stupidity or otherwise be ignored as best it can.
mircea_popescu: had you said something THEY COULD HAVE USED, they would have. as you said nothing that makes them any better, it never happened.
asciilifeform: just as mircea_popescu said, it was a pointless exercise.
trinque: as with mike_c and postgresql
mircea_popescu: as to the last one : that's it, one call to curl passed through whatever chain of awk/sed/grep
mircea_popescu: that's what you get for being a terminal blessed with the daily touch of a gomided such as myself!
mircea_popescu: it's the #1 symptom of esl-ism, and as unbefitting as it's unseemly.
asciilifeform: with that in mind, i am good at a reasonable breadth of things, but again 99% of the employment in them, in as far as i can access, is usg.
asciilifeform: (there is an unknown percentage, to be fair, of 'nonemployment' work also, i.e. 0day market, overlapping with the 99, but i have - as previously discussed - no 'in' to it.)
asciilifeform: just as well that i am leaving rupture farmz, because a few honest folks there finally informed me of what i already knew, which is that i was being 'warehoused'
asciilifeform: vanity HASH is as strong as the hash algo
asciilifeform: but, handily, 'p' actually has 'if [this program evals to true] i rate [key k] [rating r]' as primitive...
mircea_popescu: there's also that lobe, as distant and sf-ish as it may sound.
asciilifeform: as i currently understand, most uncommitted derps lose their old keyz ten times before breakfast every morning.
mircea_popescu: note that ~all us "Science and Engineering" consists of young men doing homework in a poorly managed, ineptly driven manner collectively known as "phd"
asciilifeform: the big deal is that a db that gets ~added to~ is not so simple as 'tree of 40 levels'
asciilifeform: 'there aint no such thing as a free lunch'
mircea_popescu: trinque what are your thoughts re importing into deedbot the ENTIRE key db as owned by phuctor ?
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-06#1463847 << ahahaha mircea_popescu may as well open, e.g., scintillator fibre factory, in kentucky then ?! ☝︎
felipelalli: at least they didn't come to Brazil yet! maybe because we're very bad too. everything is collapsing, as in the book Atlas Shrugged
mircea_popescu: as in "are you fresh off the boatoshi ???" etc
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: supposing that i correctly understood mircea_popescu's corn chronicles, the 'obeasts' belong to warren buffett every bit as surely as dr mengele's victims belonged to mengele
BingoBoingo: Flyover America has a lot of that so long as you avoid walmart
asciilifeform: i used to picture it as quiet, corn fields, tumbleweed, depressed farmers smoking homegrown tobacco and mumbling incoherently, and other nice things
mircea_popescu: i don't expect it to. told him he's an idiot, which is probably all the more unacceptable as it's factual.
mircea_popescu: entirely reasonable my foot. "if you call things things then things become things" "yeah, such as your face becomes a turd."
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as if it was ~ever~ other than a criminal enterprise.
asciilifeform: 'The report said that the woman began taking the lab's so-called "standard" drugs, the ones purchased from drug companies as a control in testing. "Farak began to consume the Amherst Lab's standards on a fairly regular basis beginning in late 2004 or early 2005," according to the report. "The first standard she admitted to using was the methamphetamine standard, which was the largest or most volumin
asciilifeform: as material evidence.
asciilifeform: moar nato lulz, http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/05/05/royal-navy-fires-warning-shots-as-spanish-vessel-harasses-us-sub
mircea_popescu: trinque as BingoBoingo points out, "anyone who wants it bad enough" :D
a111: Logged on 2016-05-02 11:10 mircea_popescu: anyway. domain reg'd feb 16th, first post april 26th. teh boyz poured their sweat blood an' tears as the expression goes. too bad it won't work.
mircea_popescu: these can just go in as is, sweet.
asciilifeform: as suggested earlier in logz
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, it's a good idea. will ease the move to proper key format as discussed yest at any rate.
asciilifeform: i thought bock was posing as a comp sci prof
mircea_popescu: anyway, is it a mere coincidence that some derp posing as a "free journalist" in berlin is the usg point man for the rsa diddling efforts ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform as pointed out here yest :p
mircea_popescu: the difference between pothead and "scammer" as this works in english is slight.
a111: Logged on 2016-05-05 13:14 mircea_popescu: it has been the observation throughout the ages that intelligent people are only happy as slaves ; which is how that whole "behind great man - great woman" thing got started ; or why samuel clemens had to get his daily spankings in wife's bedroom.

asciilifeform: because it isn't as if i have hitler's actual skull on my desk, as stalin did
mircea_popescu: and as to the bear and his honey, the moment before is called the endorphin shock.
mircea_popescu: it has a myriad forms, such as for instance http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-04#1462441 ☝︎
