mircea_popescu: once
they get an actual suleyman, impalements have a better chance.
mircea_popescu: anyway, impalement is what i'd do. established absolute ruler of great power and etc. isis isn't
that, just a swarming mob. of course
they prefer beheadings, manlier.

mircea_popescu: so it does. it's one of
those bits of reality
that keeps repeating.
mircea_popescu: but
the most interesting of all
these
threads - ever heard of one calogero vizzini ?
mircea_popescu: and in
the domain he knows how
to contemplate, he is correct.
mircea_popescu: amorphous pockets
the energy of resolution for which exceeds
the destruction energy for
the crystal.

to getting caught in
the suburban net
that was designed
to put you at
the mercy of
teenage criminals when you are in your eighties." <<
to
the uncharitable eye it'd seem south africa was actually an experiment rather
than happenstance.
mircea_popescu: and YOU can just as well have a
trusted computer
to print out
the digital store.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform check it out, your idea of "auditable" maps exactly on my idea of "clearsign" yet you had
trouble digesting
that ?!?!?!?!
mircea_popescu: oh hey check it out, wikipedia manages a 5k word article on "allied invasion of sicily" without
the words "cosa nostra", "mafia" or "vizzini". way
to go, history by
the retards, for
the retards, a complete pie!

than analogic. even for
the narrow cases where analogic usually wins (film archival) it's on
the grounds of "preserving

than
transform it in some manner

mircea_popescu: and
this one particular whore seems hell bent on making life miserable.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform just because one whore was easy doesn't mean all whores are going
to be as easy.
mircea_popescu: IF you can stay carefully out in a domain where
the newtonian approximation is close enough,
THEN you'll be ok with
that idea of intelligence.
assbot: Logged on 17-03-2016 13:46:44; mircea_popescu:
this underscores
the principal point about intelligence, which is
to say
that it is an ex post facto construction outside
the object, and consequently it can not either be objective, or objectively measured.

mircea_popescu: i mean i know gavin-moore law will "fix
this in
the future", of course, but
this isn't how engineering works.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron an important point
to consider is
the data & i/o meaning of "1 petahash". if each single hash requires 256 bits of data
to proceed, you are looking at 32 petabytes of data
that has
to move. in a second ? ouch.

that makes ... 2? 3? usg-authored corpses in
the case now ?
mircea_popescu: (to explain my
thought process
to
the curious bystander - i would have seriously considered
the application of a fiat-based receiver with provable practice but innocent of
the wot over solrodar's ; i won't consider such over davout's.
this means
that in
the past coupla days a window for some people
to actually make
their corpses useful
to
the world opened and closed - notwithstanding
their or anyone else's pretense
to
☟︎ mircea_popescu: much better stated like
this
than stated like you know, in
the fiat wooden
tongue. at least for my needs.
davout: so yeah, no particular mention of
those non-extant
things
assbot: Logged on 17-03-2016 03:10:26; phf: i periodically revisit his page for inspiration, but i suspect
that's he's probably some form of northern european anarcho leftist, which now's been fashionable long enough
to perhaps swing back
to fascism again. in other words he will probably find b-a rhetoric
toxic. but i'm guessing from spending much
time with other members of
that crowd
davout: well i did get
that and read it, but i don't have any particular assets or connections other
than my wot and history
that put me in a particularly better position
than others
to do
the job
mircea_popescu: there's a list
there. don't have
to go
through it as is, read it,
think it
through also works.
assbot: Logged on 15-03-2016 00:55:05; mircea_popescu: i don't
think you
take my meaning. have you for instance ever auctioned a domain name successfully ? are you well known in
those circles ? anything ?
assbot: Logged on 15-03-2016 00:52:46; mircea_popescu: do you have any sort of particular assets
that'd likely help ? prior experience in doing
this sort of
thing (selling online properties) ? connections or otherwise some power putting you above others in some way ?
mircea_popescu: i
take it's because you were
too jwz
to have invited him already ?
☟︎ assbot: Logged on 17-03-2016 02:54:20; asciilifeform: i have not, it
turns out, been keeping up with
the fella.
davout: (and yes,
that's more
than
three points)
davout: that would be
three-fold: not charge more
than a few percent for
the whole liquidation, evaluate all claims against bitbet in light of its actual contract (and more specifically,
the 3.2 (d) clause),
try
to get as much as possible from
the non-cash assets, and (quite importantly) not disappear with
the cash
assbot: Logged on 15-03-2016 00:50:59; mircea_popescu: i'm sure somebody somewhere has, why not. anyway : what do you plan
to do
to maximize shareholder revenue from bitbet assets ?
assbot: Logged on 17-03-2016 13:40:36; mircea_popescu: i saw you with glasses on once,
total accountant look. good enough for me.
mircea_popescu: this is
the fundamental problem of ethics,
that you can't have an intelligent justification of will, merely a willful justification of intelligence.
mircea_popescu: will may give restrictions of domain upon which an intelligence function may be constructed so it's coherent, but
this
then doesn't provide a method
to justify
the will upon which
the whole construction is based.
mircea_popescu: considered in general, "naturally" which is
to say over an universal domain, "intelligence" is meaningless.
mircea_popescu: this underscores
the principal point about intelligence, which is
to say
that it is an ex post facto construction outside
the object, and consequently it can not either be objective, or objectively measured.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
to round up yest's discussion of intelligence : if your putative beast
that eats its brain does so in an actual maximum point,
then
the behaviour of eating
the brain is intelligent ; if however it does so in a local maximum point
that is later within its lifetime invalidated by events,
then
the same exact behaviour was unintelligent.
mircea_popescu: i saw you with glasses on once,
total accountant look. good enough for me.
☟︎ jurov: just
the monkey on my back driving my fingers again, i guess.
davout: that's up
to
the involved parties, wait and see
jurov: i can't
think of any possible serious objections
davout: now whether both
the involved parties
think i'm qualified or not is obviously
the first
thing
to clear up
jurov: yes, and glad
to hear you're interested
davout: jurov: well yes,
this looks like an interesting job
though!
jurov pictures davout approaching
the snakepit with stick
davout: mircea_popescu kakobrekla would either of you guys veto my application for
the job of bitbet receiver?
jurov: hanbot: it's hard
to determine what is obsolete and what isn't in past logs, i'd do only new stuff from now on and go back only following explicit references
☟︎ assbot: Logged on 17-03-2016 00:03:15; mircea_popescu: and yet another
twistable knob exists :
the nonce may be shifted before
taking
the nonceth element.
punkman: yeah, some redundancy in
the data, plus compression,
then OCR
punkman: speakinf of film, I've
thought of doing backups on microfilm reels. Small reel holds 5k A4 pages or something.
phf: "if i cut
the
tape, he realized, my world will disappear. reality will continue for others, but not for me. because my reality, my universe, is coming
to me from
this minuscule unit. fed into
the scanner and
then into my central nervous system as it snailishly unwinds."
☟︎ mod6: anyway,
think it over for a bit. i'll get some coins into
the foundation in a few days and
then will
try
to write something up
that can be signed.
punkman: "We didn’t see any of
this happening,” Ramos said. “They’re saying Michael wanted
to kill himself. We just don’t know.” She said
that Michael Ford’s mother suffered a heart attack after police in Prince George’s burst into her house
to search it following
the shooting and
that she is now at
the same hospital as her son." << we just don't know, lol
mod6: hanbot: hi, cool. probably would have
to go back
to at least
the beginning of
this whole hard/soft fork discussion i'd
think.
