the entire stdlib attached
to
the
thing. ocaml at least doesn't do any sort of "tree shaking"
assbot: Logged on 19-09-2015 22:57:48; phf: have you already dropped ocaml from your evaluation based on
that article you posted couple of days ago?

the local kidz (some of whom were

☟︎ phf: i
think it's actually called region-based memory management

they all have fuckin' ~huge~ binaries so far as i'm concerned << i don't
think i was
too picky at
the
time, i.e. cmucl dumps 20mb images, and my main concern was audio latency anyway. oh i also used mlkit for
that reason, it uses a combination of frame based memory management and gc, so you can have realtime guarantees.
assbot: Logged on 19-09-2015 22:33:17; phf: never
the less later
that was reason why i looked at ocaml, with some flags and afair abandonment of all stdlib packages, you can get it
to produce binaries in
the low 100kb range. entirely useless.
assbot: Logged on 19-09-2015 22:40:54; phf: if b-a was a 1912 revolutionary clique, pete would be a hotheaded guy with a nagant, shooting up chandelier
to announce our arrival. "comrade mats was questioning comrade lenin's communique, so i gave him nagant
to
the gut."

☟︎ shinohai: I don't necessarily have
to make
them public, just wanted
to put
them somewhere so I could connect if need be.
shinohai: I got ascii's I
think and danielpbarron 's
shinohai: To all reading
the b-a logs: I wish
to compile a list of realbitcoin nodes so if you have one I can list feel free
to ping.
shinohai: b-a has
the brightest minds in bitcoin finance, yet I never hear anyone here hawking
the latest hardware.
phf: i wouldn't have posted otherwise, but for
the recent calculator discussions. all
the
talk about "limited edition retro appeal" in stark contrast
to b-a considerations
shinohai: Tablets are shit
too, imho phf
shinohai: It's easy
to see in comparison why most new ventures fail nowadays.
shinohai: btw excellent
trilema post mircea_popescu. I don't have
the greatest understanding of such
things but
that certainly makes sense.
shinohai: tl;dr I don't know
this shit but it is critical
to get people
to adopt my scamcoin. SO help plox,
thx bye.
ag3nt_zer0: shinohai: just watching
that indoctrinate U movie haha
mircea_popescu: in other news,
trilema article i been working for
the past coupla hours now stands at 7.5k words

the deal, Hooli would invest $200 million for equity while in return
the
two companies would enter into a business development agreement on
the side in which Pied Piper guarantees
to spend
that money in a massive consumer campaign on Hooli’s ad platform."
ben_vulpes doesn't understand anything about how
the world works
pete_dushenski off for a haircut and some exercise (fear not,
the jewfro will survive)
mircea_popescu: the only problem with it is
that it's a profession, and you don't have a clue how it works.
ben_vulpes: this is relevant
to a question i've been mulling of late. say a new client shows up at my door, and i like
their shit so much i want
to buy a chunk of it. how would i navigate both owning a chunk of
the new company and also my consulting company
that would be building large swathes of
the product? seems a bit ethically and incentive-alignmently fraught.

mircea_popescu: roizen is actually one of
those actual women in, well, not
tech, but anyway.
mircea_popescu: clearly
they're shopping for many economists
the same place gavin did
pete_dushenski: it's
the most meaningless source in
the universe for a journalist
to cite
pete_dushenski: 'many economist believe
that inflation doesn't erode your savings'
mircea_popescu: "Many economists believe
that balance sheet losses are irrelevant for a central bank, so
they should play no role in policy."
pete_dushenski: "General Motors admitted wrongdoing and will pay a $900-million penalty, but will avoid federal prosecution for its mishandling of an ignition-switch defect in some of its older cars." << even 'chosen ones' have
to pay
their
tithes/baksheesh.
pete_dushenski: japs were
thinking 'not my bezzlars, don't care where
they come from or where
they're going, just
that
they're active rather
than passive'
mircea_popescu: it does maybe 20mn profit over half bn revenue. which half bn revenue dropped 80% over
the decade and will drop 90% over
the next decade.
mircea_popescu: "CoinTelegraph Media Group is
the largest international cryptocurrency-related marketing and advertising agency in
the world. Our Ad opportunities provide our clients with wide-reaching penetration into
the cryptocurrency-oriented community."
assbot: If Primecoin becomes international
transferring instrument,
the price versus USD will potentially hit 1,000! : primecoin ... (

mircea_popescu: hahahaha australia,
that shithole where canaries are illegal ? lmao.
pete_dushenski: there are probably a raft of 'polimedia' links on loper
that do
the same.
mircea_popescu: "Former heavyweight boxing champion Mike
Tyson has joined forces with a cryptocurrency firm
to bring bitcoin ATMs
to Las Vegas.
The deal with Conexus and Bitcoin Direct is believed
to be
the first celebrity partnership in
the bitcoin industry."
mircea_popescu: i
thought azn ppl were supposed
to be
throwing
the curve.
mircea_popescu: the company ? which
the guy called "a major breakthrough in finance" ?
pete_dushenski: "President Barack Obama nominated Eric Fanning
to become
the next secretary of
the Army,
the White House said, paving
the way for
the first openly gay leader of a military service branch in U.S. history."

the Ethereum sale"
pete_dushenski: "Please Note: We are in no way affiliated with
the Official Ethereum project."
pete_dushenski: i remember way back when bitshares was a new
thing, all
the local kidz (some of whom were
twice my age) jumping aboard and mining and
trying
to swindle me into it
☟︎ mircea_popescu: If you
tumbled over
the
term interest, you probably read an outdated posted. Sorry
to
tell you but
there is no interest on your bitUSD ... for legal reasons ...
thus
the community decided
to call it a yield :-).
That yield is payed out every
time you
transfer bitUSD (that are older
than 24h).
This effectively is an interest, but has an other name. Check out
the our info graphic about is:"
mircea_popescu: "BTS's consensus algorithm is DPOS, which is roughly
that stakeholders vote on a relatively small set of block validators (~100). All stakeholders care about is "sufficient" decentralization - block validators are quick
to replace.
These validators can be high-performance servers."
mircea_popescu: anyway, "bitshares"
turns out
to be yet another bitbet-killer
