mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2015/lets-address-some-of-the-more-common-pseudo-arguments-raised-by-the-very-stupid-people-that-like-the-gavin-scamcoin-proposal/#comment-115361 << i am suspek this will be one of those articles where people come to cry their hurt butts long after anything.
asciilifeform: hey they had him teach remedial math when he was fresh off the boat
mircea_popescu: no wonder he looks like he sucked down a pickle through a garden hose.
mircea_popescu: he did intro classes too ?
asciilifeform: this was spoken to n00bz.
asciilifeform: (found on www, unattributed. but this was brin the elder! he utters this a few weeks into the class.)
mircea_popescu: triple are worse then ?
mircea_popescu: heh. srsly, what's the big deal ?
asciilifeform: who said this ?
BingoBoingo now looking for concordant counts of tonight's speaking times
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> or merely stupid. <<< it's a product. best results (area) for equal sides. but astounding performance can be obtained even with only one of the two
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> Each and every time someone in the Computer Science field has a Bright Idea, the world had better be prepared to adapt, because Here Comes Genius and everything everybody has done needs to be done differently from now on, because This Genius Knows Best. Gratuitous re-invention is very appealing to some people. << cstropes done by naggum. now that'd be a sight.
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Anything with silicon can burn to unreadable
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: All in the same fire, add more coal.
asciilifeform: this one's been roasting for a long time.
BingoBoingo: THrow them all in the fire see which ones aren't too charred
BingoBoingo: Too many of those.

BingoBoingo: Reddit is mostly downvotes, it must take admin intervention for anything to appear upvoted prolly
assbot: StubNuts comments on BitPay Claims Hack Amounting to 5000 Bitcoins ... ( http://bit.ly/1KihBrx )
BingoBoingo: Stupid is prolly more somewhere along the lines of preference. Stupidly obeast though has physiolocical characteristics which necessitate identifying as fat-gendered among the afflicted
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: to be androgenous instead of a man ?
asciilifeform: but is it actually necessary to be fat for this ?
assbot: Logged on 17-09-2015 02:29:29; mircea_popescu: if you're sufficiently stupid and fat, that really becomes your gender.
asciilifeform: ey sure are not going to be behind anybody else.'
asciilifeform: Each and every time someone in the Computer Science field has a Bright Idea, the world had better be prepared to adapt, because Here Comes Genius and everything everybody has done needs to be done differently from now on, because This Genius Knows Best. Gratuitous re-invention is very appealing to some people. It means that they do not have to cope with anybody else's ideas. They may hope to garner support behind them, but th
assbot: Re: "Well, I want to switch over to replace EMACS LISP with Guile." - Naggum cll archive ... ( http://bit.ly/1KrizFw )
BingoBoingo: Well most mitochondria are capable of being culutred on their own in the manner of bacteria (what anyone seriously though 'mitochondiral dna' test were for any reason other chan cheaper?)
pete_dushenski: so much for the second-grade-level 'mitochondria as the cell's powerplant' theory
pete_dushenski: "t the intracellular level, discoveries now reveal the existence of 'mitochondrial synapses' establishing mitochondrial networks, with defined chromatin-modifying mitochondrial output signals capable of orchestrating gene expression across the genome. These discoveries raise the possibility that in addition to their role as powerhouses and neuromodulators, mitochondria behave as intracellular signal-processing n
assbot: Logged on 16-09-2015 20:54:27; mircea_popescu: go break into their trunk box, cut the connection to home, install your own firmware ?
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-09-2015#1277196 << this is evidently the definition of terrorism. no different than http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-09-2015#1276902 ☝︎☝︎
BingoBoingo has tiny wheel of cheddar set out to achieve room temperature last night ready for a celebration. Fuck it V... will wait to see officialish clock on Rand time
asciilifeform celebrates mod6's achievement, with a tin of sprats
asciilifeform: i had to use my brain, this is obscene
asciilifeform: was this thing built for martians or what.
asciilifeform: this was suggested by the three finger-shaped ridges on each side.
asciilifeform: hm, discovered that grasping the thing from both sides on top and mildly flexing towards the center makes it pop cleanly off.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I just rip the lid off and stopped doing that when I cracked the lid
asciilifeform: i feel like i'm mangling it every time i pull that lid off.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: another conundrum that bedevils me, what is the 'correct' way to open the -92 !?
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Or numeric posts are small, quant is prolly inaccurate at this time, but you know how to fix that...
BingoBoingo: But mantra is fine too
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: incidentally, how is 'qntra' meant to be spoken? i will confess that to me it is 'kvantra', rhyming with 'mantra'
pete_dushenski: not that anna karenina lived in a time of soviet flats...
assbot: Logged on 17-09-2015 01:19:09; mircea_popescu: "the other residents of the drab soviet prefab block of flats always envied ivan ivanovich, for this inept pretense of normalcy that he found himself on the receiving end of, even if in all fairness it was not really his fault."
pete_dushenski: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-09-2015#1277129 << i can't read 'ivanovich' without thinking of anna karenina, but there was no ivan there iirc. where's this from, mircea_popescu ? ☝︎
asciilifeform: other thing worth noting is how it would behave with multiple root ('genesis') nodes
mod6: that's one of the next things i have to tackle, aside from the cleanup of some stuff: press
asciilifeform: right now it takes asciilifeform_add_verifyall_option.vpatch - but this is misleading, because it does not in fact depend on asciilifeform_maxint_locks_corrected.vpatch
asciilifeform: a 'press' of, e.g., bleeding-edge would take asciilifeform_maxint_locks_corrected.vpatch and asciilifeform_add_verifyall_option.vpatch as the 'head' arguments.
asciilifeform: btw this is the picture i needed to finally say clearly how 'v' ~was meant to work~
BingoBoingo humbly requests a knowledgeable party write a qntra on the recent v-gasm
mircea_popescu will send 1 btc to the foundation donation nao, because srsly.
mircea_popescu: mod6 i take it that the idea of making V the epicenter of bitcoin releases going further is aprpoved by the foundation ?
mod6: that part of the code is gnarly. gotta re-work a bunch of this.
asciilifeform: i officially take back the thing i said re: things not getting done until i do them ...!
mircea_popescu: i wanna send this guy a cookie or something i like him so much
asciilifeform: woah the arrow mouseovers work !!
mircea_popescu: this would indicate that of the collection of people who signed, the 2nd 4th 6th 8th 9th 11th 13th etc signed it
assbot: Email from CFTC asking about BitFinex trading activities : Bitcoin ... ( http://bit.ly/1iiuR80 )
mod6: it's this kinda thing: http://bloodgate.com/perl/graph/manual/att_colors.html
asciilifeform: iirc it takes standard vga 24-bit colour for text and background
mircea_popescu: because you can add your own postprocessing to null out some bytes.
mircea_popescu: well because of the nature of the svg, you actually get very predictablew coloring
asciilifeform: this would make it a little hard to indicate actually-released-vs-not, though, no ?
asciilifeform: set the text to be negated 24 bits of this, to remain readable
mod6: im sure something can be done there.
mircea_popescu: can this be done ?
mircea_popescu: there are what, 24 bits of color ? take the 24 signatories most highly ranked by mike and set or unset bytes accordingly.
mircea_popescu: mod6 no, do this : use the color bits!
mod6: easy enough to add that logic in
asciilifeform: mod6: possible idea for future graph: colour the patches officially blessed by mod6+ben_vulpes green
BingoBoingo: May actually have to use one of those hydraulic log splitters
asciilifeform: (and would he have to use a full katana, instead of the usual wakizashi ?)
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: that poor schmuck can't even seppuku without grazing his cock
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> i suspect that ~this~ magical apogee is not reached until you get to 'too big for the crematorium' max level. << Apparently not even that big
asciilifeform: all that remains is to bolt a patch-eater onto it and then the classical turdatron can enjoy a quiet retirement
assbot: BitPay Claims Hack Amounting to 5000 Bitcoins : Bitcoin ... ( http://bit.ly/1NE7zqW )
assbot: You rated user mod6 on 27-Nov-2014, with a rating of 4, and supplied these additional notes: The cave, age, tace school of thought. Nice work with the Bitcoin Foundation..
asciilifeform: mod6: ~and~ this displays without horizontal scrolling on all of my displays.
assbot: Logged on 15-08-2015 00:12:27; asciilifeform: a versioning system that is merely a few kb of script
assbot: Logged on 17-09-2015 01:42:58; mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's nothing wrong with kid breaking up the shit in the house to make a shitty lesser something
assbot: Logged on 17-09-2015 01:23:59; mircea_popescu: good people come from eve and bad people spawned off lillith, but americans all crawled out from between the thighs of one mae pollitt!
danielpbarron: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=17-09-2015#1277142 << it's because of Eve that none are good ☝︎
mircea_popescu: ok that's pretty awersome mod6
mod6: put the leafs to the same rank, and added the source file names to the arrows. some of the arrow heads come together, so just zoom in and hover over the line if need be.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's a product. 50% stupid 50% fat is more stupidfat than 150% fat 5% stupid.
asciilifeform: mod6: this is perfect.
asciilifeform: i suspect that ~this~ magical apogee is not reached until you get to 'too big for the crematorium' max level.
mod6: ok. try out http://thebitcoin.foundation/misc/vpatch-nodes.html
mircea_popescu: if you're sufficiently stupid and fat, that really becomes your gender. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: dude no wonder they're misrepresenting themselves as "gay" and "transsexual" and whatnot.
asciilifeform: if only p. t. barnum lived today !
mircea_popescu: which doesn't have any of the antibacterial and drainage benefits of the female version
mircea_popescu: so basically dudes get so fucking fat there's an ad hoc slit created around their cock
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: is there a magic point, one wonders
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i bet the author is this stupid fat kid that's "a feminist" and also "really supports" womenz. << You forget the FUDA: Fat Usurped Dick Area... Basically when the pubic fat is too much for the dick to be externally visible
mircea_popescu: see alf, they never die. they just keep derping
mircea_popescu: http://www.forbes.com/sites/mikemontgomery/2015/09/15/bitcoin-is-only-the-beginning-for-blockchain-technology/ << still with this ? seriously ?
