mircea_popescu: what, next you're going to say we have actual proof the usg had been running a string of massive conspiracies, such
as you know, inserting backdoors in software, such
as "parallel construction", such
as iran contra, such
as whatever the hell.
mircea_popescu: large scale conspiracy such
as telling idiots they're not idiots could never happen. why would an idiot ever believe he's not an idiot ?!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform : "> This last post from you indicates clearly that your horizon is limited and you are allergic to new ideas and cannot bring facts and rationale to your statements. Pray tell, just what are the “new” ideas in Clojure? The idea of setting up an ersatz Lisp on top of the JVM is not the least bit new. Neither is immutable data." << readily the best bit in there. and it is pretty good
as it is.
mircea_popescu: shinohai i guess "community organizing" doesn't pay
as well
as one'd have expected or w/e.
mircea_popescu: yes, your dismissal of dear luc is, by some sort of exterior standard, correct. this is not the same
as confronting the offender with the inconsistency of his own view ~in his own terms~, which is what i had in mind.
mircea_popescu: anyway, while we differ on what we color iq-ism in, or what you eventually expect it to do, i don't think there's actual disagreement
as to what it does.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not even that reliably. savant still stupid. it DID work to destroy any usable (by us) notion of stupidity,
as far
as the harpy wailchorus is concerned.
trinque: +asciilifeform | but the 'brain learns' thing is pure nonexplanatory obscuratronium. << what, you thought I was satisfied with "learns"
as a complete description?
assbot: Logged on 09-03-2016 21:51:30; mircea_popescu: no, guy is just some derp trying to find a place in usg,
as opposed to b-a or isis or whatever. that's all.
mircea_popescu: "The Police recovered over $500,000 worth of lab equipment stolen from the University, along with 3 hand guns, an assault rifle, 50 years’ worth of military grade rations and twelve 55 gallon barrels (including three almost empty barrels) of what DEA labs have identified
as pure liquid Lysergic acid diethylamide, a powerful hallucinogenic drug more commonly known
as the street name LSD or Acid."
mircea_popescu: no, guy is just some derp trying to find a place in usg,
as opposed to b-a or isis or whatever. that's all.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: hey, i'm admitting it
as a sin, not proposing it
as a moral.
assbot: Logged on 09-03-2016 13:38:44; 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:
as theory. this theory had lain fallow since suleyman.
mircea_popescu: anyway - i welcome the antivirus-based new gestapo. it will doubtlessly work
as well
as the new us model army, seen at the muchly trumpeted, quickly forgotten tikrit offensive.
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: the current crud exists just
as alchemy once existed, you expect alchemist to understand modern chemistry?
mircea_popescu: let the beluga take its unfortunate form emergently to mr doctor X, so
as to receive bookend implants.
mircea_popescu: specifically, that these black roe, large and soft
as were put before her, are evidently inferior to true black roe,
as she always gets at [we're skipping this, lest we shame the third party]. which are small, much, much smaller, needle sized, and tough, so you can crack them in your teeth.
mircea_popescu: fucking dogs do it, some of them at least,
as per that experiment discussed in the logs.
trinque: it also seems to suggest that mind-amplification is a much nearer goal than AI,
as the brain's own ability to handle new inputs can be leaned upon
trinque:
as it might be drastically different from noggin to noggin
assbot: Logged on 26-01-2016 17:20:06; ascii_butugychag: (there was a spiffy talk at shmoo, which mentioned how nn used in image recognition usually imprints on what - to a human - would be an entirely accidental cluster of pixels, and if you flip'em, it will recognize an obvious, e.g,. cat,
as a refrigerator, etc)
nubbins`: investors apparently took the pronouncement
as a sign of things... not being quite well.
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: the statement was
as to the problem and its expression.
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.

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
danielpbarron: removed them after that paste; it only ever effected pasted,
as I rarely type the words it would replace
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)
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.

☟︎ BingoBoingo: nubbins`: A bit watery
as is the 13th tradition
kakobrekla: perhaps full and nonfull is not the best word
as they cant be really full, just large or small.
hanbot: mircea_popescu meh, i guess eskimociuciu has eternal representation so long
as the current voice distributes so much chum.
mircea_popescu: ben_vouspes>
as predicted. << predicted my foot. you've prolly not even noticed that trilema's previous article was "color of money", or that the current one continues in the "trolling the idiots" vein.
mircea_popescu: williamdunne> nubbins`: tbf while using the company wallet << there is no such thing
as "the company wallet".
mircea_popescu: the whole incident is certainly a fine example of why b-a and the world generally can't work
as a "mp supported" thing. gotta be very expensive to be a lord, or else self-flattery is much to powerful a force.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile other people did things, and there he sat on ass, thinking to himself "oh heh, am i fucking special - all these idiots are sweating bullets and i think i'm exactly the same
as them but much smarter because I'm not even doing anything!". aka sprezzatura, ie what happens when you overfeed and underbeat the children.
mircea_popescu: he sat in the chan counting his bellybutton lint for years, making inept arguments about pointless shit - he lost all of them, but hey,
as long
as mp doesn't come straight out with "you're stupid, go back to school" one needn't notice this actually happened, can just
as well pretend that blabla.
nubbins`: danielpbarron
as of right now it's "are my winnings coming?"
assbot: Successfully updated the rating for nubbins` from -1 to -3 with note: Suffers from the misguided notion that bitcoin companies are subject to the same rules
as fiat
danielpbarron: this is like when some celeb gets outed
as a womanizer and all the girlies out out of nowhere to retroactively claim he touched her
nubbins`: do you know what they call it when the CEO uses the company's bank account
as his own personal bank account also?
solrodar: that isn't necessarily fraudulent,
as long
as everything's properly accounted for
nubbins`: asciilifeform that's funds moving out of MPEx address and ending up
as inputs to tx "B"
mircea_popescu: PeterL here's the thing : in my scrollback you appear
as engaged in a lengthy monologue which twice now highlighted me. are you going to take a break on your own or do i have to ignore you for a while ?
mircea_popescu: "
As for requirement [4], my sofa may have bugs, such
as mites, spiders, or maybe even fleas. However, I have found no evidence on the web that such invertebrates have the power to cause theft of anything, much less theft of digital assets on other sidechains."
PeterL: usually it is there
as a small change in the total assets
nubbins`: <+asciilifeform>nubbins`: do you think it would have made a difference to me, if i had been paid $12k ? <<< i'm not saying you should have taken the same amount of $$ for running s.nsa
as i should have for a dozen hours' work.
nubbins`: if i'd not recevied any cash, but stock warrant only -- i'd be
as broke
as you, no?
nubbins`: i said shares
as remuneration is a fish hook
mircea_popescu: at that point, i was trying to get a court system off the ground, similarly with random people
as judges.
nubbins`: i have no idea why some of you cannot see this place
as nothing more than a "cool kids club"
mircea_popescu:
as time goes on, the bar raises, and many/most/whatever can't cope.
PeterL:
as a lucky bettor, I would be willing to refund the extra winnings, minus a "processing fee"
jurov: mircea_popescu: only if hanbot argues against fraudsters
as usual
ben_vouspes: PeterL: ah, that's simple! traders get fired
as soon
as they mean revert.
trinque: insofar
as an agreement between the owners defines such things
PeterL: for the record, I view it
as a stupid mistake on mp's part, not fraud, so I am fine with having sold my shares I will just let things be
