mircea_popescu: punkman someone tried to make a 0 btc bet as to whether "it survives".
trinque: but could be feature creep. it's already collecting useful things as is, like the gpg-1.4 wad
BingoBoingo: "When she told the doctor to treat her as he would treat someone of normal weight for her chronic knee pain,The doctor told her he would ask her to stop doing ruck marches, stop doing challenging hikes with too much gear and to stop competing in the triple jump. "
trinque: adlai: to clarify, I took you to mean that deedbot- ends up doing its own archiving, which is what it's doing as a 1-off for the logs
ascii_field will get back to this as soon as he figures out how he'll eat in 2016
ascii_field: the lulzy part is, as always, that there existed what to leak
mircea_popescu: i guess i add it as a comment

ascii_field: the only 'defense attorney' that makes any kind of sense in modern usa is the same kind as made sense on the front in 1942: a frag in your pocket. with which to blow yourself and the arresting polizei.
punkman: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-11-2015#1322242 << they throw rocks here, and broken sidewalk pieces, and molotovs. and they hit (armored) cops with sticks and pipes. and some kids beat up a politician outside the parliament the other day. but seems to have the same effect as otherwise peaceful protest. ☝︎

mod6: whaack: as far as programming help, probably the best place to start is to read all of the current vpatches and understand the changes, and be able to build the R.I. up through the latest.
mod6: whaack: hi, yeah thanks for asking. 'v.pl' could certainly use some testing help. additionally, when I get my rotor+v script finished (hopefully soon), will have that to test as well.
ben_vulpes: http://daringfireball.net/2015/11/the_ipad_pro#fnr1-2015-11-11 << as predicted, apple is pushing tablets as their new compute station
ascii_field: they 'came out of nowhere' in the 1960s-early-70s - as a concession to terro^H^H^H^H^protesters
mircea_popescu: ascii_field understand : if the "huge hedge fund masquerading as church" engine gripes, the democrat party will have to be restructured.
mircea_popescu: that's prolly better so as not to bw.
mircea_popescu: i would expect less than 1% odds of them ACTUALLY being sexual assault, and perhaps as little as 5-10% of them being some sort of contravention.
kakobrekla: i guess you could compress em as well
jurov: it's disguised as macrame
pete_dushenski: ” In The Washington Post, Zerlina Maxwell argued: “We should believe, as a matter of default, what an accuser says. Ultimately, the costs of wrongly disbelieving a survivor far outweigh the costs of calling someone a rapist.”"
jurov: as children we were playing toy casino, and when the chips ran out we invented that we issue new ones,
mircea_popescu: "More substantively—and this is what I want to focus on in this post—“paying” for highway spending with Fed capital is not paying for it at all in any economically meaningful sense. Rather, this maneuver is a form of budgetary sleight-of-hand that would count funds that are already designated for the Treasury as “new” revenue."
ascii_field: 'Gosh, all of this warm fuzzy coverage of the NSA just brings a tear of thanks to my eye. While you're at it, could you do a puff piece on Stasi, and the KGB/camp system in the Soviet Union? I'm sure they did a spectacular job saving lives and keeping people safe, as well.' << from the not-yet-censored commentz
mircea_popescu: it IS, btw, a very fine understanding of the matter at hand. it is in things such as these that we (ie, actually cultivated folk) recognize that people like kafka, or nietzsche, or picasso or who have you actually IS a master, who just chooses to go at it differently.

assbot: Logged on 10-11-2015 22:25:29; mircea_popescu: ie, there, "it's not the job of the state to protect the cultural patrimony OF INDIVIDUALS and their clans ; if those individuals and clans are so degenerate, bankrupt and chlorotioc as to no longer be able to protect their heritage, let the worms havce it. no, not even for comunist metaphisics ; no, the property of x isn't "ours", no x's history isn't "ours". let them uphold it or let it die.
pete_dushenski: "is it time we started forgetting the birthdays too, time we stopped falsely screaming ecstasy, and demanded adequate, formal remuneration for emotion work provided in the workplace as a skill? Now that, right there, would probably be a shake-patriarchy-to-its-core revolution."
kakobrekla: superlux do this as well.
asciilifeform: as in, 100% mechanical
kakobrekla: yeah cable microphonics are annoying as fuck.
ben_vulpes: gabriel_laddel: good afternoon to you as well

shinohai: http://thenextweb.com/gadgets/2015/11/10/pillow-talk-connects-distant-lovers-as-they-drift-to-sleep/ <<< sadly, people will pay to fund shit like this
asciilifeform: unless i catastrophically misread this thread, it is almost as if mircea_popescu thought that stupidity were a ~technology~ that we'd be happily without if only some malefactor had not carefully developed it, and dropped on us, like a nuke
phf: asciilifeform: right, i'm not arguing your original statement, just trying to understand this part of thread. if i wanted to grok electrodynamics, can get scan, or easier to just walk to friend and get landau of the shelf. doesn't matter that he has millions of other books, or that there's an archive of book scans somewhere. mp's point seems to be that the activity should be treated as tomb raiding either way, rather then "i have a
mircea_popescu: "My companion drew in the dank, cold air of the Tomb. It seemed to... strengthen him. I stood in the doorway between Light and Dark. What was left of my sanity implored me not to enter. But that voice... was just a whisper now. As we worked our way down, deeper and deeper into the Crypt, I began to see a change in my companion. He seemed to be gaining strength. I could hardly see in the gloom, but my companion seemed t
asciilifeform: (as a demonstrable moving part of the edifice)
mircea_popescu: just for as long as you understand they're tombs. you don't belong there.
mircea_popescu: not like anyone invented a substitute for actually re-derivign the whole group theory IN YOUR HEAD as part of "grokking" it.
mircea_popescu: it sucked as i found it.
asciilifeform: i personally picked up too many of these to list. and they will live for at least as long as i do.
mircea_popescu: as it's the precondition to culture in general.
funkenstein_: as long as there are people of means archiving the log, i agree
mircea_popescu: ie, there, "it's not the job of the state to protect the cultural patrimony OF INDIVIDUALS and their clans ; if those individuals and clans are so degenerate, bankrupt and chlorotioc as to no longer be able to protect their heritage, let the worms havce it. no, not even for comunist metaphisics ; no, the property of x isn't "ours", no x's history isn't "ours". let them uphold it or let it die. ☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: it's there in mythology as well, for the 50% of the heroic population that's battling cunted demons in their head.
thestringpuller: yesterday I learned what he looked like as a child
asciilifeform: and given as the thread holding these folks together is the particular odd notion that books, films, are entirely like petro & fish - unsurprising
mod6: ben_vulpes will now refer to this corner of the us as "the tonsils" << haha.
pete_dushenski: "Lullaby Milk only contains milk taken from the cows before daybreak. Melatonin is produced in the cows as they sleep, and so the milk produced before daybreak has naturally higher levels of melatonin."
thestringpuller: and then MP as the ruthless leader that no one sees
thestringpuller: hmmm good point. just interesting someone as intelligent as you hasn't thought about ways to launder money.
ascii_field: i couldn't so much as to buy a bottle of rotgut 'under the table'
assbot: Logged on 22-08-2015 22:07:45; mircea_popescu: for the record, it's not even clear moving from bearer to certified insturment is anti-liberty. for insmtance - hansa used the certifierd instrument greatly, because as a merchant, giving your son a plain "pay the bearer so much silver upon presentation of this note in such town" was merely an invitation to any highwayman on route to "please fuck this young man in the ass and here's the pay for your
ascii_field: 'It's not clear what will happen to the money as of now, but many speculate that Jose Mariena Cartolos will not be allowed to keep the money and it will be taken by the Colombian Government and probably spent on improving the life of poor farmers all over the country.' << l0l, oughta have found a bitcoin pit instead ?
ascii_field: as per http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=03-07-2014#742046 ☝︎
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: this is when i confess that i always saw n as a hero
assbot: Logged on 09-11-2015 18:12:09; ascii_field: and i distinctly recall ln2 powdering being offered as a sort of alt-cremation service somewhere
jurov: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-11-2015#1320845 << guess the result would be suitable as cow feed ☝︎
mircea_popescu: now consider that nero lived in very similar times, and all of a suden you might see the lad as a very heroic figure.
mircea_popescu: because sure as hell i'm not doing it to your dumbass excrement.
mircea_popescu: nobody needs to actulaly be fooled. just as long as they keep churning out this sort of crud and it's being reacted to, it's really no different from the idiot who "ai"replies to emails and imagines that this imbalance of power with his readership is useful to him
mircea_popescu: as reported by google ?

mircea_popescu: they do it everywhere, step 1 : replace food with synthetic condensate, which doesn't work as food ; 2 : go to doctor to cure your problems arising from the fact that you don't eat food, you eat tyres and wd40.
mircea_popescu: this fucking us insanity. step 1 : replace computer with phone, which does not work as computer ; step 2 : stop doing the things you used to do on compuer you can't now do on phone.

pete_dushenski: so the system would lean on them as a safe bet if it was unsure. Normalizing the likelihood of a candidate reply by some measure of that response's prior probability forced the model to predict responses that were not just highly likely, but also had high affinity to the original message. This made for a less lovey, but far more useful, email assistant.
pete_dushenski: "Another bizarre feature of our early prototype was its propensity to respond with “I love you” to seemingly anything. As adorable as this sounds, it wasn’t really what we were hoping for. Some analysis revealed that the system was doing exactly what we’d trained it to do, generate likely responses -- and it turns out that responses like “Thanks", "Sounds good", and “I love you” are super common --

asciilifeform: as in all of it
mircea_popescu: phf you're not required to agree to this inasmuch as you're using your own time & hands.
phf: as far as lisp, yeah, not practical for deployment, but i started getting bogged down in trivial serialization questions, before i understand clearly how the whole system is supposed to work. once i get the spec as is up, i want to start working through those comments to modify it into a udp lower level system. in any case lisp is better option for gossip prototype, because the spec is so open ended

BingoBoingo: Trump can't actually win. No such thing as electoral bankruptcy law.
