trinque: phf: if you've got a log viewer nearly complete, do you want a postgresql db connection from me for it? I'll be collecting logs with
the new deedbot.
pete_dushenski: very much like how each man writes his own
torah scroll.
shinohai: I last looked at logs
this morning, so oh well.
shinohai: You aren't pete_dushenski. It's witch-hunt city over
there and I want no part of it.
pete_dushenski: i will say
that it's on
the quiet side in #trilema atm, but after glancing at
the #b-a logs for 15 seconds,
the noise gave me such a headache
that i quickly forgave
the selective speech and appreciated
the
tranquility here. i doubt i'm alone in
this either.
phf: asciilifeform: you keep saying "this like spanish revolution" but i don't
think anyone actually groks what
that means, because so far #b-a is like a sociological study of mutiny
mircea_popescu: the only concerning item is
that
the english nonsense of "hurt feelings" seems
to become fashionable in chinese discourse.
mircea_popescu: slighter, smaller government ; which necessarily means more of him and less of
the "institutions" ; should be palatable, or at least easier
to defend.
mircea_popescu: in line with what appears
to be
the xi policy. he's gutted
the bureaucracy, which obviously pissed off all
the wanna-be 14%, as what he aims is very much in line with
the mp definition of government ("may exist for as long as i don't see it")
mircea_popescu: supposedly nobody "can have cause
to be upset" when
things happen
through
that ; it's simply natural.
mircea_popescu: by and large from what i'm seeing china's plan is
to simply use its gravitational pull.
mircea_popescu: everyone's survival under
the scheme seems entirely likely.
mircea_popescu: anyway, afaik i'm one of
the very few if not
the only irc user
that actually only uses one channel - and even i use
two
these days,
this and #eulora
mircea_popescu: hopefully facebook isn't actually next, woe unto me i'll be assaulted by
the internet's entire firehose.
PeterL: but it seems you are confused by conversation radomly popping into your chan from
the other chan
PeterL: well, in #b-a not long ago I said somebody was going
to reply in
the wrong chan, confuse everybody, couple hours later asciilifeform does
mircea_popescu: yes you. "see, x" generally implies a "i believe y", not clear what
that y'd be here.
PeterL: see, happens already
to post wrong chan!
mircea_popescu: i dun see
teh problem, mike_c can run his
thing whatever way he likes.
danielpbarron: kinda like how
there's lots of blood where
the hole gets cut
PeterL: I have not yet been convinced
there is a need
to leave it
PeterL: well, seems
to be more people
talking
there
danielpbarron: PeterL, what is it you find so attractive about
the other channel?
PeterL: why need
to switch? why not show both?
pete_dushenski: is mike_c going
to be switching btcalpha over
to deedbot-
then ? or a new wotsite needed as well ? /me is a big fan of btcalpha...
trinque: if
they're RSS can jam in
the old deedbot- for now; if not I'll have
to write something for
the new one.
PeterL: I meant for S.MPOE
trades etc
gribble: Bitfinex BTCUSD
ticker | Best bid: 424.02, Best ask: 424.18, Bid-ask spread: 0.16000, Last

PeterL: is
there a plan
to have an assbot style
ticker in
this chan as well?
trinque: ^ looks
to be auth'd with nickserv
pete_dushenski: i
think it'd be sweet
to have a repository for viewing
the latter
pete_dushenski: well
there are
trb nodes and
there are nodes displaying version string 99999
shinohai: I wanted something a little nicer
to look at
that listed solely
trb nodes. I know it is on wiki but ...
shinohai: hey pete_dushenski i havent done much
to it unfortunately, just still running my vanilla
trb node
pete_dushenski: ;;later
tell ben_vulpes
then numbers are just
the colours of your drapes!
pete_dushenski: ;;later
tell shinohai how comes
the node
tracker site ?
pete_dushenski: how far away are we from having logs
to peruse ? or are we
to keep our irc clients open and on indefinitely
mircea_popescu: actually studying knots is historically
the start of
topology
mircea_popescu: strangely enough it's not badly applied
till it blows
the fuck up.
mircea_popescu: (incidentally, re "communism good idea badly applied" - majority of germans agreed, after ww2. re
their own form.)
phf: asciilifeform: "He was known for inventing
the ULI knot, a method for priming explosives using detonating cord.
The Uli knot resembles a hangman knot and is
the most effective way of priming C4 explosives, especially when underwater."
phf: need dat deedbot
to jump sheep
mircea_popescu: so how's
the yellow revolution going ? is comrade xi yet ousted ?
mircea_popescu: i know i've more
than once, while sitting by idly watching unbridled
tits bounce, considered adding some cogs.
mircea_popescu: actually - one man, one harem, one notebook china could do
this. if you feed a dozen girls,
their workouts will certainly power
the book.
phf: it could make for a nice backup in a joey hess style household. guy lives off
the grid, hacks by candlelight with his low power netbook, sometimes "i'll be out for
the next few days, it's been gray out, so not enough juice in batteries", etc.
mircea_popescu: uh nm me, 150 × 10 × 80 ÷ 3600 = 33, but
this'd be watts-hour not kw
mircea_popescu: more
than
that even. i've personally climbed
the stairwell going from valley of kings over
the mountain into
the queen's.
took a few hours, but it's a good 150-200meters
tall.
that's a good 30-40 kwh
mircea_popescu: eh, derps
take
the
time
to explain why
they named
their
thing whatever
they named it, but i see no equations anywhere. pass.
mircea_popescu: i don't get
the "we use no consumables" claim if it uses springs. what are
the springs ?
mircea_popescu: is "paetreus' caviar"
too late a
testing stone for
the
theory ?
mircea_popescu: even something as obvious as "settling
the end date" will be interesting
to reflect upon.
mircea_popescu: anyway, for
the curious student of political history, i'd gladly read a piece explaining
the differences between
the "denazification" as carried out by
the allied control council from 1946 onwards ; and
the various internal
troubles of
the eastern socialist party, whether you pick dekulakization, or de-trotskyfication, or great leap forward or w/e.
BingoBoingo: You know, make myself less dependent on "Big Weather"
to get my meteorology
mircea_popescu: for
the record, his friends in
the senate
thought not much better of say strabon
than
the above.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I may need one of
those weathervanes
mircea_popescu: you may
think less of me for it, but it ALSO follow
the internal reasonings of
the etsy chick, and of all sorts of other subcultures.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but
the construction is interesting,
to
the anthropologist.
PeterL: To me politics is much like sports, lots of people
talk about it but
their
talking has no impact on
the outcome
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> urgh, i scroll between
two chans, and one is full of american election and
the other -
ThickAsThieves << I
think something about
the details of
the process contains electrolytes mircea_popescu needs
to mix up his hatorade
PeterL: GOP sold out
to obama, he wa forced
to step down, his chosen successor was flatly
told no, so a different guy stepped forward
to
take power
