mircea_popescu: seems to me xor is just as un-immediately defined on abstract types.
asciilifeform: as for 'why standard' - it affects the semantics.
asciilifeform: not entirely new, examples existed as early as 1969
asciilifeform: in that respect it has the same downside as eschewing microshit had in 1995.
mircea_popescu: "as long as these are securely fastened, an absolute guarantee to no pants shitting can be offered by manufacturer". and yes i used such thjings, but for very peculiar purposes.
asciilifeform: integers are MARKED AS SUCH and tested when arithmetizing;
asciilifeform: as in, arrays live with their bounds
asciilifeform: as in common lisp.
PeterL: no, just conceivably, as in have you identified places where it could be improved?
asciilifeform: they are not part of what folks think of as 'software ecosystem'
asciilifeform: as described in his own article re same!
mircea_popescu: without importing all the battlefield lulz on the topic : it is rather important for lisp to be used in ACTUAL applications, as opposed to conceptual.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform he doubtlessly failed to understand both his capabilities and his responsibilities, until later, as is usually the lot of people.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform about as much as mp in #b-a.
mircea_popescu: hmm this is odd, clicking on your link lists http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-06#1446781 as first on my screen ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i want it to be a flag in the search, so as to search IN IT.
danielpbarron: nah i'm just doing it manually because it's only a month old ; but it'll be really easy for you to do it that way as the urls are virtually identical
davout: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-04#1445594 <<< what i was thinking is "offer wires as an alternative to a cash settlement to people who presently hold x.eur and to whom i've committed to delivering upon request", and then close it, at least until i have another professionnal setup to handle it properly ☝︎☟︎
adlai: recursing into inner links, across the log.b-a.chasm, left as an exercise to the industrious lisper
asciilifeform: so long as the latter doesn't interfere with the log browser's mechanisms re arrows
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-05#1446423 << i read it as 'here be dragonz' re the continuing but no longer tmsrtronic old logz ☝︎
asciilifeform: it dun count as a lineend
mod6: i'd go as far to say that I've never even had a salt pickle.
mircea_popescu: oh no search integration as of yet huh.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: what, you think i'm so foolish as to try semantic analysis on...all of the scripts?
mircea_popescu: it can get as fine as you want it to!
mircea_popescu: also known as fucking dewey
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=tw | tw. abbreviation for trigger warning warns the audience that the following media may be triggering for mental disorders such as eating disorders, self harm/injury,  ...
mircea_popescu: mike_c> yeah. well, how long could mpoe have survived without mpoe-pr? << in fairness... mpex listed itself by reverse-merger with the then-listed mpoe ; which continued operation as a distinct profit center but that has meanwhile discontinued. it's such a historical layering of evolutions etc that some restructuring years later seems inevitable.
jurov: you actually worded it as "a is significantly less than b, and b is less than epsilon"
asciilifeform: implication here, if i understand, is that mining as we know it is a work of fiat sovereigns
diana_coman: jurov, do you mean this: The notion that some fiat pretend-sovereign or other has anything to do with this measure is significantly less sensible than the notion that 17 Bitcoin and change is what caused the closure of Bitbet, as ridiculous as that notion may be.?
asciilifeform: rather it is 'day job as usual', no ?
mircea_popescu: from its humble beginnings as "i dunno if i'm ready for you to move in yet" to its full blown "i'm in bitcoin hurr durr", it's the same thing.
asciilifeform: i do not know enough to usefully say. but iirc mircea_popescu introduced him as 'fuck-you-moneyed' character.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: as much congratulations as are due and as many condolences.
mircea_popescu: except... OBVIOUSLY the proposition "internet weenie has a girlfried" is to be judged as less likely than the proposition "internet weenie has a girlfriend and her name is Samantha".
mircea_popescu: "Sometimes experimental psychologists uncover human reasoning that seems very strange - for example, someone rates the probability "Bill plays jazz" as less than the probability "Bill is an accountant who plays jazz". This seems like an odd judgment, since any particular jazz-playing accountant is obviously a jazz player. But to what higher vantage point do we appeal in saying that the judgment is wrong?
asciilifeform: mega-backbreaker of a b00k, i actually never met anyone who read it as an adult
asciilifeform: srsly, almost as if these folks are escaped nazgul
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: massive leak (or burn, as you like) of tax haven docs a few days ago
mircea_popescu: "a manual of female ownership". wasn't this guy living alone as a hobo in the ghetto ?!
ben_vulpes: does look from here as though there's some key from a request to the action to be performed in the OTP url.
mike_c: why evil. as long as I have to type in my passphrase..
ben_vulpes: mike_c: a bouncer is ~same work as scripting auth
pete_dushenski: so i've now learned as well
BingoBoingo: kako as it
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: we'll see if this 15 minutes of fame lasts longer than my stint as a lord ;)
mircea_popescu: providing search for corporate clients. if you get yours working as well as his, perhaps can be arsed to market it.
mircea_popescu: fwiw, mthreat, the guy who was providing the search, actually did that as part of a start-up that got sold off or spun off or w/e they do.
phf: after 1440677 log continues with t-a entries, and as of right now the next t-a entry is 1440678 "pete_dushenski: http://nymag.com/scienceofus/2016/03/serious-question-can-a-parrot-act-as-a-witness-in-court.html << computers are cheaper than women, but perhaps not cheaper than parrots" :D
phf: replacing http://log.bitcoin-assets.com with http://btcbase.org/log/ will work as long as i add ?date=dd-mm-yyyy handler
phf: i'm going to deploy to the same machine as btcbase, so the log url is going to be btcbase.org/log/
phf: right now the switch over between t-a and b-a happens at log entry 1440677, which is "mircea_popescu: and so, this is the end for this particular irc channel as a venue for tmsr. ..."
mircea_popescu: can't count "doesn't need food" as a sales point.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: only in the sense that alligator bite is same as mouse.
mircea_popescu: through a similar decision process as you propose, rats are not superior to cockroaches
asciilifeform: my point was that, as with all cheapolade, many costs are ~externalized~.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it isn't as if the parts have fixed cost ~each~
asciilifeform: dram is how we get wonders such as 'rowhammer', but also bits that rot from not only cosmic ray but the background gamme of impurities in ITSELF, etc
asciilifeform: though to some extent space locality is also built into drams as we know them
mircea_popescu: that sort of thing only "works" if patently nonsensical, as per the original.
mod6: i had this dream lastnight that alf called me and wanted to tell me about this new method of processing... but i couldn't hear him very well as I was going through this tunnel.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "science" as the metaphysical concept. it's not what you and i mean by the proper term.
asciilifeform: as does ru
mircea_popescu: yet another angle that shows the fundamental link between "intellectual property" and both the usg\s continued claims to financial power as well as the continued infestation of the free world.
mircea_popescu: for as long as that lasts.
asciilifeform: as in, kernel does not boot unless microshit permits it.
asciilifeform: just as a broken-down toyota in a tow yard is more of 'car' than a rusty ww2 tank sans engine.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the relationship between sane bitcoin source as available on trb www and "bitcoin" is THE SAME as the relation between a sane implementation of tetris and "running tetris"
mircea_popescu: as he well points out.
mircea_popescu: "=== RISCV === While this architecture is extremely limited in performance, price, and performance per watt compared to x86, ARM, or POWER, it is also one of the only fully open source CPU architectures available outside of an FPGA. and may eventually be competitive with MIPS in terms of raw performance. Currently there are no RISCV SoCs in production, however projects such as lowRISC aim to change that: http://www.lowrisc.
asciilifeform: otherwise works about as well as the winblowz defense.
mircea_popescu: so this is an absolute defense against any and all accusations of "computer crime" for as long as the hardware involved is post 2009 intel / 2013 amd.
asciilifeform: one nitpick: the c201 chromebook he recommends as a potential arm box is a TURD
jurov: unless mod6/ben_vulpes instruct me to keep the shares as intangible property of the foundation... imo not happening with such qty
shinohai: Certainly not, I find great joy in reading but writing may as well be Chinese water torture for me.
mircea_popescu: the only counter is that there is no such thing as too soon in the flesh. until the time one stands up from couch, just how out of shape one is will never be known.
asciilifeform: as 2000 y ago
mircea_popescu: i am convinced it is the best we can do, as far as the human element goes.
asciilifeform: and you might as well go back to hawala and broken clay tablet halves as pgp.
asciilifeform: i regard it as a mircea_popescutronic question.
mircea_popescu: but these are all considerations for one millennium prior to what the europeans generally regard as "history".
mircea_popescu: anyway, linquistically if you care, old italic as well as greek, along with armenian and georgian all derive chiefly from phoenician, which is a canaanite language.
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.
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.
ben_vulpes: and yet few actually went so far as to implement that which they were voting for
danielpbarron: heh i was curious if space was acting as a command character
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.
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
asciilifeform: as i understand, the ones to be clobbered were the ~most~ turk-integrated
mircea_popescu: as per usual.
phf: i'm vaguely disappointed that chinese didn't preserve tibet as a kind of natural habitat, but had to go civilizing the place
asciilifeform: 'The Tibetans refer to the Dalai Lama as 'Kundun', which means 'The Presence'. He was forced to escape from his native home, Tibet, when communist China invaded and enforced an oppressive regime upon the peaceful nation of Tibet.' << barfalicious
mircea_popescu: doing the same thing as now - sorta playing romania to sino-mongol disputes.
asciilifeform: it exists entirely as a usgtronic 'oh noez empire that isn't us is gassing its vermin'
mircea_popescu: ie, crazy-five-year-plan-gas doublespoken as "regular" being excised at only 67%, while actual regular at 84%
mircea_popescu: "sciencehatesyou 3 points 1 day ago* I can't be bothered to read his tedious text. I also don't care what he does with his fake exchange and dumbass site, it's not like anyone was using it. The whole thing was a fake front, a facade, from day one. He has been cast out from butt circles, and as a last resort, was here trolling buttcoin for clicks using sock puppets (and man does that guy use sock puppets - 90% of the users o
adlai: mircea_popescu: re "seems to me this coolness resolves no actual problem, just pushes the goop around.", this ends up just as bad as patching binaries directly, or worse, because it feels like you're just writing more source
