ben_vulpes: ;;later
tell linton_s_dawson a robust
thread-tracker would be very nice.
assbot: key derivation - Why does
the FBI ask Apple for help
to decrypt an iPhone? - Cryptography Stack Exchange ... (
http://bit.ly/1WuksV8 )
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: it works as it. In
the future, just avoid nesting quotes in lists
danielpbarron: oh hm, I guess I need <br>s in
the blockquote? Or is
there an attribute
to force it
to respect line returns?
danielpbarron: well
the ordered list isn't logs, it's a list of links
to
the log,
the
text of
the link is a number
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: over
the giant chunk of logs
peterl: not just at
this stage. We need
to get away from
the advertising revenue model, cause it sucks
danielpbarron: the weirdness is
that i put a block quote in a list item in an ordered list
punkman: I can see a summary subscription
thing making some money eventually
danielpbarron: blockquote where? I see it in
the correct place on my end
peterl: sounds like a way
to make pennies per hour (if you are lucky)
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: Looks like <blockquote> is missing. deweird
the html and resubmit
linton_s_dawson: If done properly it may get enough
traffic
to earn from advertisement? And
then distribute earnings
to contributors.
☟︎ punkman: are you gonna
train some neural network?
peterl: it seems like something
that would require active management
to keep it up
to date
punkman: linton_s_dawson:
topic of log summaries comes up often, nobody delivers
peterl: linton_s_dawson
there have been several suggested ways
to summarize logs, but nobody has
taken
the
time/put in
the effort yet
danielpbarron: no rush, and maybe you'll need
to scold me for doing some strange
things with html; I'm not sure what my limits are exactly
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron:
ty, can't promise it'll go up immediately
peterl: it's like syncing
the blockchain, it
takes forever, and you have
to keep connected once you do catch up
linton_s_dawson: So
the idea is
to create "The b-a chronicles"
that will highlight important events/discussions/propositions with links
to
the context. Catching up will boil down
to picking a specific date and seeing what happened on
that day in a simple manner with links
to
the context.
linton_s_dawson: It goes without saying
that catching up with everything since
the beginning (if you are new blood) is
tiresome. You could use Search
to find discussions on specific
topics but will still miss something important.
linton_s_dawson: I
thought about what may improve
the
TMSR infrastructure and figured
that
the logs
themselves are somewhat difficult
to navigate. "Catching up" with
the logs means reading
through
the whole conversation until you stumble upon what matters. I.e. "a new patch was proposed" or "MP uncovered
the next scam in
the making".
☟︎ BingoBoingo: What, do people not believe me when I suggest I supplement
the powers of
the internet with broadcast radio?
BingoBoingo: shinohai: Rush Limbaugh is reporting he is being concilliatory at
this point
shinohai: I should make a BitBet as
to whether Donald
Trumps sues Pope Francis over his comments
today.
danielpbarron: if we're gonna compare a stake in a company
to a single cow.. it's quite
the remarkable cow; one which you can add and remove meat easily without bothering
the beast, and milk it
too!
adlai: arguably, now
that bitbet is getting more advertising, punkman owns part of a brand; practically speaking, one can't buy
the bitbet brand without enriching punkman a little (short of shorting s.bbet a lottle)
punkman: o hey my bbet dividend covered
this month's fee
danielpbarron: i
think a dividend is more like a consolation prize
danielpbarron: i didn't sell any of
the shares i earned for writing
danielpbarron: ask shareholders of qntra over
the last months what was
the point?
punkman: well I pay so I can "own" some shares, not
to gamble
adlai: "Account management fee is asked only from accounts
that hold any BTC or any assets by 1st of current month"
danielpbarron: i don't really look at my coinbr unless i see a
trade cross a new price
punkman: +-0.00001 happens often enough, it's really not much
trouble.
punkman: you buy 2k MPOE shares for 0.00055, you sell
them at 0.00056, make enough for
the fee.
takes about 10 minutes every 6 months.
trinque: I can get behind
the notion
that limiting it
to one puts pressure on keeping
the make system small.
trinque: you're opposed
to folders in a build
tree having
their own makefiles?
trinque: there was a
thread about
the folder structure I produced
assbot: Logged on 18-02-2016 16:59:55;
trinque: asciilifeform: so, other
than clean nuking deps, what did you hate about
the makefiles ?
peterl: aha, I understand, just poking
the bear
trinque: they *do* call into
the dependency makefiles recursively, aside from boost, which bjams
mircea_popescu: peterl can't
the guy have a preference ? and
then pass it off as reasonable ?
peterl: and bitbet is more stacked
than coinbr?
trinque: I may have some
time
to fiddle with
that
today.
trinque: asciilifeform: so, other
than clean nuking deps, what did you hate about
the makefiles ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: no but srsly... i
tried
to imagine little pancake faced people going "give it
to me bish!"
to little pancake faced people and nearly lost it.
peterl: and if you bitbet well, you beat
the house, right?
mircea_popescu: what
the everloving fuck did
the internet do
to people.
mircea_popescu: now i get chinese language viagra spam referencing
the putative sexual prowess of black people from africa.
peterl: the idea being if you
trade well, you can beat
the account fee
BingoBoingo: for srs,
this started right
the fuck after miners came around
to vetoing classiccoin
mircea_popescu: turns out in retrospect
the only
thing distinguishing humans and dog vomit was poor connectivity. once
that was fixed...
adlai: at least parlimentary democracies float up lulz like "Party for Men's Rights, and
Those of
Taxi Drivers" (rough
translation)
mircea_popescu: can you explain
the difference between israel as it is and israel occupied by
two feet
tall grey goo ?
mircea_popescu: adlai not
to mention what humans are ALREADY emulating.
mircea_popescu: simple
thermodynamics requires
this situation
to destabilize over
time.
adlai waits for MIRI
to close shop, concluding
that from a purely utilitarian point of view, grey goo is really best for everyone involved
mircea_popescu: otherwise,
the game of musical chairs is
that 10
trn imaginary
tokens were distributed between
three exactly identical slashdots such
that
two got > 99%.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, it's not
that. it's
that google is desperate for stuff
to make
the shareholders dream another year.
adlai: market goes up, market does down. AGI can't explain
that!
mircea_popescu: adlai in principle, showing
that "seed" from sewer or palace leads
to
the same result is ~=
to proof
the process is pure metaphysics.
adlai: this is apparently some point of pride for folks in
the "the machine does everything, i just gave birth" crowd
adlai: asciilifeform: hearsay
traces back
to
the paper!
the
team claims not
to seed with a single pro game.
