BingoBoingo: ascii_butugychag: Mystery Chinese noise I can not adequately parse on
thread preceeded with "MEGA LOL"
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag now you want
to separate facts from
their representation, and have your way with
the representation aside.
BingoBoingo: ":The results came out,
the mine can not afford
the risk of
the mining machine brick,
the Classic will not be upgraded
to 2MB of program. "
mircea_popescu: just because
they're not separable does not mean
that in consideration and by way of compensation now you get
to separate an arbitrary something else.
ascii_butugychag: and what, 'what's 2+2?' 'how should i know? go add
them and i'll
tell you'
ascii_butugychag: so if i offer a kid a candy, i am
threatening him with hunger ?
mircea_popescu: human speech is in all cases a promise and a
threat,
together. if you go see a house for rent and you offer 100k, what you are saying is "stand with me and make 100k, or stand aside and damn you all". no matter how faint either side, it's
there. it has
to be for speech
to be meaningful.
ascii_butugychag: the famous '80s scotus case where 'police are not ~required~
to show up even if
they know
the hour of your advance murder'
thing
mircea_popescu: judge's
the least convincing mobster out
there, even he knows he can't really get away with
that.
mircea_popescu: nobody ever says
that 'go and pay or shoot
that one yourself, he's not mine'. ever heard judge say something like
that ?
ascii_butugychag: the whole no-overlapping-turfs
thing is supposed
to be guaranteed by
turf war, etc. i get it
ascii_butugychag: i can only guess, but 'go and pay or shoot
that one yourself, he's not mine'
mircea_popescu: if he pays and he sees a derp with gasoline fucking around and he calls you up, what
then ?
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag : if he pays and
the place burns next month, what
then ?
mircea_popescu: this fellow's illiterate. he sees
the world
through eyes of stupidity, which is why he says "dead direct". it's a barbarism in romanian, but he needs
to import a foreign symbol because well... sounds better
thus.
ascii_butugychag: can haz example? let's say bag man helpfully
tells restaranteur, '$x/mo. or your place burns'. where is
the hidden bribe ?
mircea_popescu: and nothe
that his oh-so-creative "understanding" and "thought process" is both purely symbolic and specifically symbolic.
mircea_popescu: you're
thick.
there is no bribe
that doesn't contain a
threat, nor is
there any
threat
that is anything but a veiled bribe.
mircea_popescu: to which i say
that if i were a bird also i wouldn't flap my wings, but merely float. because why not,
tis a dream.
ascii_butugychag: am i
think or what, i don't see
the equivalence. bribery and
threat are approx. as equivalent as arses and elbows
mircea_popescu: the fellow says "if i were
to be a pimp [ie,
the dream mode, because hey,
that's what he understood of a discussion of
technology,
that "being an engineer" is a blessed state,
to be obtained
through divine grace and / or ordination] i wouldn't beat
the women, for
they'd be more productive
thus. but also, if
they piss me off, "dead" directly. you know, like puff daddy.
mircea_popescu: the article is "how
to be a pimp - a simple guide, easy
to understand and exhaustive". which it is. which it exactly is.
mircea_popescu: and i don't even
think you mean
thinking by "thinking". i
think you mean "for daydreaming". like
this fellow :
ascii_butugychag: but given
the mammalian
tendency
to 'hate
to lose more
than loving
to win' (as described in a mircea_popescu article !) it makes sense
to distinguish 'threat' and 'promise' as items
mod6: no heat in
the suburban, made appt.
to have it fixed. showed up
this am like "ok do your
thing..".
They said, "oh, can you pick it up
tomorrow? we're busy...". Like wtf. It's literally like a 15 minute job. How do I know? Because I just did it myself instead and if I exclude
the drive
time
to pick up and buy
the part itself, ~15 minutes.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: you say
that
that's what you do professionally, separate
things, and
there's merit
to
the view. but also... some
things don't belong apart.
mircea_popescu: what starded as a more humane way
to disposses
the old (see balzac, he describes it in detail), has meanwhile become
the universal way
to cleave yourself from everything.
mircea_popescu: some do. it's bad for
the environment and worse for
them, but nevertheless
they do.
mircea_popescu: the sad fact of
today's business environment is
that you can also sell for promise.
ascii_butugychag: so mircea_popescu, which 'wrong people' might
that be?
the ones with 'no money and no engineers' ?
thestringpuller: BingoBoingo: ASICMINER
tried
this and
then went bankrupt shortly after.
BingoBoingo: It's rare, but every now and
then a Bet needs BetLawyered in
the comments.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Yes, just as BitPay went from harmless derps
to info collectatron.
BingoBoingo: Lol, noise holes are suggesting
the "miner" Buttfury plans on selling
to
the public is another 21co style Internet of
things device. Just another PiTaTo
ascii_butugychag: they are full of 'napoleons', but also
there is always a reasonable number of 'glass pitchers', 'acorns', etc
mircea_popescu: why were
the asylums full of napoleons rather
than perigords ?
BingoBoingo: ascii_butugychag:
Tortilla's brain did fine simulating
the drug experience without chemical assistance
mircea_popescu: there is
the problem of manufactured street cred. what
to say, what
to say ?
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: Or just
trying
to "be cool" like all
those movie stoners or something. It's not unknown among USG agents
to either have or have invented a "groovy" drug history.
mircea_popescu: i wonder how many people burned
themselves
trying
to be me. perhaps i find out one day.
danielpbarron: my interpretation from
the
toomim drug
thing was
that he was
trying
to be like Mircea only replacing gurlz with drugz or something
BingoBoingo: "People’s reactions
to
the discussion have been mixed, with people pointing out
that
the discussion was inappropriate in a group of essentially strangers. Furthermore, Bitcoin has been associated with drug use
throughout its entire history, and perhaps it is in
the interest of
the community
to separate itself from
that." << lolz ClassicCoin can't even win outlets
that flirted with Garza's Paycoin
ben_vulpes: i rarely use arrow keys
to navigate, preferring instead
to search
through
the buffer
assbot: toomim comments on
The
Toomin brothers, Bitcoin Classic's main devs are debating Core devs and
trying
to show
them
the light. It gets quite fishy at
the end. ... (

mircea_popescu: some
that are in should come out of it already. some belong in
there, be
they now in or out.
mircea_popescu: it's a semi-permeable membrane. i don't indiscriminately counsel everyone
there
to come out.
jurov: yeah, like sending you
to vatican
assbot: Logged on 20-01-2016 15:19:44; mircea_popescu: move
to wash, dc. everyone else is doing it.
BingoBoingo: Oh, it's like
the Hearnstick was completely negated as soon as ACH deposits brough fiat
to exchanges.
mircea_popescu: <jurov> i use ctrl
to jump
to next nonwhitespace if needed. << i do.
BingoBoingo: Ah, we've got about 3 inches of snow here.
Thing apparently hasn't built up
that much yet.
BingoBoingo: <ascii_butugychag> seriously if i wanted
to repeatedly perform manual drudgery i would go and pick cotton somewhere. << Speaking of are you dealing with
that Apocalyptic blizzard fiat news is derping about.
jurov: there's also f,t for jumping
to a character
jurov: i use ctrl
to jump
to next nonwhitespace if needed.
ascii_butugychag: seriously if i wanted
to repeatedly perform manual drudgery i would go and pick cotton somewhere.
ascii_butugychag: FUCK hitting an arrow more
than once
to
traverse a block of whitespace
ascii_butugychag: though perhaps mircea_popescu could
try and
teach his pets elisp
ascii_butugychag: but if you have a unique itch somewhere deep in a body cavity, and wait for somebody
to come and scratch it ~for you~ - you may wait for a while.
☟︎ ben_vulpes: and did i read
that mircea_popescu wants 'semantic extraction' built into emacs?
ben_vulpes: i use helm for buffer selection, and winner mode
to get
the windows back where
they were.
ascii_butugychag: (now
that i
think about it, i don't recall whether he said anything about
tmsr-only. but
this seems like an obvious
thing)
ascii_butugychag: which - for extra bonus lulz - imho ought
to
take high-S only...
ascii_butugychag: the 'final solution'
to
the
tx crud flood is, i suspect, mircea_popescu's concept of a
tmsr-ONLY block-a-day mining pool
shinohai: punkman, any mention of whether
they only get 36 virgins now instead of 72 ?
punkman: not sure when
they implemented
that in PRB
mod6: ah, can you give me a point in
the right direction?
punkman: mod6: I meant producing stric-der signatures, and yeah
that pull-req only involves
the relaying
mod6: or is
there some other code
that you are referencing?
mod6: just
the part
that I indicated above.
punkman: mod6, did you port strict-DER
too?
