thestringpuller: danielpbarron: i expected your blog
to be all
txtfiles lol
thestringpuller: yea. a lot of selling pressure recently. i
think node blockchain survived I'll see when it
tried
to load
the index
tonight. definitely going
to back
this
thing up daily...
nubbins`: investors apparently
took
the pronouncement as a sign of
things... not being quite well.
nubbins`: mircea_popescu
this infatuation of yours is bordering on obsessive
nubbins`: cool, he wrote a whole article about me on
trilema!
nubbins`: i like how mp pretends
to be ignoring me, but still fumbles
through an insult directed my way whenever i give another prod
mircea_popescu: bbl, redoing
this wake-up
thing, apparently it didn't happen fully.
mircea_popescu: mircea_popescu> and more importantly, because once expressed
the current situation becomes
tolerable << INtolerable, obviously. and in all fields. much like a smoky kitchen wall is
tolerable for just as long as you don't see any actual white stuff for contrast. but bring in a new stove, suddenly
the wall needs a paintjob
too.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it is deeply satisfying
to beat idiots
to death. you should
try it sometime.
mircea_popescu: bitcoin, in any proper sense, means
the republic, and
the wot, and
the forum, and so on. and similarly "cryptography" means "a bunch of derps on usenet" much in
the same way space flight means chimps with monkeys. yes,
the inclination
to see inanimate objects fly is
the same in both animals.
mircea_popescu: "bitcoin" in
the sense of a collection of (whitepaper by satoshi, 2-3 shitty mutually exclusive prototypes by satoshi, even shittier code in prb) is much like "russia" in
the sense of "the kiev kingdom".
mircea_popescu: (en passant : solution 3 is readily apparent, and it begins with selectively beating your children -
the runts
to death ; and
then continuing in
this manner. and
there's plenty more.)
mircea_popescu: the statement was as
to
the problem and its expression.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i am not discussing solutions, and plox not
to mix it in we'll never end.
mircea_popescu: and more importantly, because once expressed
the current situation becomes
tolerable, or
the statal / feminine definition of intelligence is "measure of capacity
to adapt
to environment [that we designed
to suit ourselves]".
mircea_popescu: the list is more or less endless.
the problem, more or less felt by everyone (ie, by all persons) and not expressed clearly and rigurously by anyone, because dunno how.
mircea_popescu: oh, more radio stations ? great, now
the cars are all designed by imbeciles for imbeciles. let's make more houses in autocad!
this is how a city looks!
mircea_popescu: sure, so you keep
the nubbins` out of your house. great.
they're going
to put some shit on
the radio. popculture!!1
mircea_popescu: people are stuck importing
the bleating of moo moos all over
the field and in all sorts of capacities, without any sort of modulation at
their disposal, even.
mircea_popescu: this problem is not magically limited
to software, but universal.
assbot: Logged on 29-02-2016 16:46:29; mircea_popescu:
this of course means you must support arabic ligature in your kkkapp made specifically
to scrawl white supremacist nonsense on virtual
toilets in gta4.
mircea_popescu: we're not fucktarded lunacharsky
to imagine
that "oh, will resist narkopomps in
the field". fuck
that stupid shit.
shinohai: Signed into
twitter and saw your epic
tweet davout :D
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform very much, for
the obvious reason. we care about
the heads of
things, not
the
tail of
things.
mircea_popescu: which is what, in any proper sense of
the
term, "bitcoin" and "crypto" even mean. not fucking pgp as seen by
the zimmerman
that "oh i don't even have
the key anymore"
mircea_popescu: this is a major problem, at least
to my eyes. it was just as large, if not nearly as expressible, before
the age of bitcoin. by which,
to be perfectly specific, i do not mean satoshi crapolade. i mean bitcoinb as in
tmsr, and wot and ba and such.
mircea_popescu: the problem with loving go, like "loving science", like generally all sorts of investments of
the self children are forced into, is
that
they end up importing "the people".
mircea_popescu: no, more like "love only
things you're actually sure about"
assbot: Logged on 09-03-2016 13:33:19; *: mircea_popescu is incredibly fucking glad he never gave in
to
the
temptation as a child, and systematically never regarded go as anything above or beyond parlor
trick
to entertain oneself with
teh nude houri postcoitally, in spite of perhaps reasonable and well reasoned arguments
to
the contrary.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: punkman but it's
the one with
the "lands"
to get mana
to support
troops is it ?

☟︎ nubbins`: mp's analogies are so muddled
that
they're not even decipherable
assbot: Logged on 09-03-2016 13:26:24; nubbins`: more like "case 2:
the shop pays a cleaner once a month
to clean rugs. random asshole
thought
the rug cleaners weren't coming so he paid a second rug cleaning service
to clean
the rugs.
then
the regular rug cleaners came and cleaned
the rug again.
then random asshole
tries
to bill
the shop for a needless rug cleaning
that he ordered himself"

☟︎ mircea_popescu: "I don’t regret accepting
this challenge," said Lee. "I am in shock, I admit
that, but what's done is done. I enjoyed
this game and look forward
to
the next. I
think I failed on
the opening layout so if I do a better job on
the opening aspect I
think I will be able
to increase my probability of winning."
mircea_popescu: DeepMind founder Demis Hassabis expressed "huge respect for Lee Se-dol and his amazing skills," calling
the game "hugely exciting" and "very
tense."
Team lead David Silver said it was an "amazing game of Go
that really pushed AlphaGo
to its limits."
mircea_popescu: "I was very surprised," said Lee after
the match. "I didn't expect
to lose. I didn't
think AlphaGo would play
the game in such a perfect manner.
nubbins`: kakobrekla it would seem
that your continued refusal
to kiss MP's ring has finally directed his rage
towards you
assbot: Logged on 09-03-2016 04:10:08; mircea_popescu: kakobrekla>
they also arent comparable in a sense << or in
the sense of "case 1 is a derpy kid who
tried his derpy
time-arbitrage scheme without having
the first clue as
to what
that entails,
then whined
to be made whole when it blew up" vs "case 2 - someone came into a shop, shot a patron, and now
the business is charging
the carpet cleaning against on its expense account". hurr durr, "the police sh
mircea_popescu: adlai> lee sedol resigns. wtf? << are
they buying
this or wtf.
danielpbarron: removed
them after
that paste; it only ever effected pasted, as I rarely
type
the words it would replace
punkman: I played online
tournaments with Apprentice a lot for a while. Now I wonder what kind of security/crypto
the
thing implemented, if any.

http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-03-2016#1427413 << my brother was once a game programmer, for a co.
that has died many years ago, and
they had
the contract of producing
the 'official' mtg client. he had
to learn
the rules of
the game, with much loathing, and play it for year+ straigh, all day, every day, with loathing, possibly more hours
than just about anyone alive
punkman:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-03-2016#1427481 I remember
the official client was impossibly clunky and annoying when I used it. Must have been an epic quest
to cover all
the edge cases in
the game's rules. "Apprentice" was kinda cool, just gave you a
tabletop and you had
to manually make all
the moves.
☝︎ fluffypony: I generally agree with
the "don't be a giant douchenozzle" principle, and as long as employees are operating in any capacity representing one of my companies
they don't have permission
to be a giant douchenozzle on my behalf (what
they do in
their own
time and of
their own volition I don't care about)
fluffypony: BingoBoingo: we signed it by show of hands - it was just a commitment
to encourage
tolerance and respect in
the ecosystem, and if any of our employees overstep
that we will reprimand
them
mircea_popescu: trinque> rather
than dissect it, I wish
to stop using
the wallet entirely (as I did before with btcd) and just write a sendrawtxn for shiva <<< a raw
tx manipulator for
trb is prolly a very useful item, really.
adlai: heh redmond is (more often
than not) correctly predicting both players' moves
mircea_popescu: seems altogether dubious
the computer is even 2 dan. just one game, sure, but...
adlai: they've forgotten
two stones in
the analysis board
pete_dushenski: in any event,
that's some seriously bizarre wallet behaviour
trinque: if only it were possible
to select
the
transactions referencing a given address whose outputs are referenced by no other
transaction's inputs
pete_dushenski: and it just stays like
that indefinitely, but still allows for further spending ?
trinque: then
the balance goes
to -0.0002 (fee + deed spend) so I smell a floating point fuckup
trinque: yeah, I want
the change coming right back
to
the deed address, so I use sendmany and explicitly state
the change
trinque: I haven't. doesn't
that send change back
to some other address which is part of
the "account" ?
trinque: I also had
to lower a constant which didn't seem worth its own vpatch
trinque: did
this
to have exact control over what fee is sent
trinque: it may be limited
to
the sendmany RPC;
that's what I'm using
pete_dushenski: were you importing into wallets
that already had a balance ? just
trying
to understand
the boundaries of
this phenomenon
trinque: rather
than dissect it, I wish
to stop using
the wallet entirely (as I did before with btcd) and just write a sendrawtxn for shiva
trinque: ;;later
tell funkenstein_ hey, regrind your vpatch and I'll sign it
trinque: loses
track of balance and I have
to delete wallet.dat and reimport
the key
trinque: pete_dushenski: his patches have never failed me;
the wallet itself on
the other hand does consistently
assbot: Logged on 09-03-2016 03:49:24; asciilifeform: how
the FUCK does anyone use 'pywallet.'
