asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i wish it weren't the right thing...
asciilifeform: i can't argue with this.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that is utterly besides the point, isn't it ? most well made statues were kept in temples, in the dark, untouched and unseen. this doesn't mean they had ergonomic spoons in mass production!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in that most effective software isn't public.
mircea_popescu: phf why isn't linked line first in viewport ?! how am i gonna find what he means ?!
phf: this also demonstrated for why "top refs" shouldn't remain a feature :p
danielpbarron: yeah i just noticed, it didn't like me referring to multiple lines in the same line
adlai: in other news, http://www.learnmorsecode.com/pix/learn.gif is what i didn't even know i needed.
asciilifeform: i can't be the only one who takes in the log at least half the time from the logtron
asciilifeform: so long as the latter doesn't interfere with the log browser's mechanisms re arrows
adlai: i don't want to click shit, i want text quoted in weechat without me moving an eyeball.
adlai: it still doesn't insert quotes, this is not proper
adlai: cf meta-#t-a
adlai: it's the other way around. haven't you ever realized everybody around you is communicating in front of your face in a language you can't parse?
mircea_popescu: he seems to propose that he'll takamakatotopipi so quickly you won't know what hitcha!
adlai doesn't understand what mircea_popescu means by "there's two". is this like "another skywalker"?
asciilifeform: unless you're actually mathematicizing, you prolly don't need a b00k re dfa...
mircea_popescu: holy shit, -v "\r\n\" also doesn't catch it
mircea_popescu: :blank: also dones't catch it
mircea_popescu: can't i not have to do that ?
mircea_popescu: sed / grep don't match ^$, awk doesn't match with NF > 0, i'm totally wtf'd.

mircea_popescu: you just doing the software for some idiots with too mcuh money because hey, ustardism/ngo ; and it won't work without data which they won't be able to get ?
BingoBoingo hasn't done the math to see what qntra is worth lately
mike_c: yes, but davout isn't around
mike_c: I assume mpif can't be far behind, given the lack of anything worth investing in.. talk about a dead zone for btc income investing.
mike_c: after much combing of logs and blogs, I can't figure out whether mp decided that davout was actually due another 200 btc and disbursement is pending, or if lists were still being checked and there was not yet agreement
mircea_popescu: so i gotta do (•)(•) yet fucking obscure language can't spell out its shit ? burn it down i say.
mircea_popescu: iirc we don't hate rss, or do we ?
danielpbarron: and there's an image of a dragon separating b-a from t ☟︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> mp's productions are so opaque <<< weren't you running a simulation ? ☟︎
danielpbarron: what implication? he explicitly stated that other people haven't stepped up to make bitcoin better
diana_coman: I don't see the link fiat pretend-sovereign - bbet
phf: since i fucked up the timezone again, had to refresh the log, so now inaugural first #t-a post belongs to diana_coman
phf: hehehe, sorry pete you're no longer first #t-a post, i discovered that i had timezone issue, that's now been corrected
asciilifeform: and everyone sees folk who aren't treading, and still float
asciilifeform: everybody at some point gets to the place where they ~can't~ tread water
mircea_popescu: and i suspect a lot of the popular hatred of inflation has absolutely nothing to do with inflation's ills, but quite the opposite ; and instead is a nude and rude displeasure at this "oh, now that i'm on the pig i can't just sit here and pick my nose ?!?!" thing
mircea_popescu: i was there for it - you weren't there for it. i tell you it was a lot more of this than of that. but yes both existed.
mircea_popescu: to force a comparison slighty : mergers and acquisitions in new york don't necessarily result in gold reserve trucks moving back and forth between ny and virginia or w/e.
deedbot: mircea_popescu updated rating of kakobrekla from 5 to -5 << Cap'n of industree, borrowed my blender, then decided to try and make gravel and... it just didn't work out!
mircea_popescu: $rate kakobrekla -5 Cap'n of industree, borrowed my blender, then decided to try and make gravel and... it just didn't work out!
pete_dushenski: in light of the above, this shouldn't be in any way surprising : http://lesswrong.com/lw/ncv/attention_financial_scam_targeting_less_wrong/
mircea_popescu: with apologies for sullying the logs with the ditties of imbeciles, under promise i shan't do it again this year, let us quote.
mircea_popescu: he can't do that.
pete_dushenski: speaking of lee sedol (and other bitbets), sorta surprising davout didn't seem interested in moderating more of the "sure thing" bets.
pete_dushenski: i can't help but lol at zaz when compared and contrasted with the lexus lfa mega-manufacturing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5A2s61rT_30 (those uninterested in cars, but fascinated by either carbon fibre, circular textile looms(!), or simply obsessive engineering and exactitude will likely find this latter one of interest)
asciilifeform: chris t. is crapping out pseudo-tolkien to this day
punkman: I haven't read it
mircea_popescu: this is like saying "i can't picture how cat could piss on this item".
asciilifeform: punkman: i can't even picture how that could be hollywoodized
asciilifeform: hey t was a medievalist / norse specialist.
asciilifeform: generally i don't let idiots operate my garbage collector.
asciilifeform: t does not belong in the list.
mircea_popescu: shitty google srsly. what, i'm going to click wikipedia links now ? isn't even in my dns list.
mircea_popescu: otherwise wouldn't piss on argentina to put it out if it were on fire
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Why wouldn't it exist?
mircea_popescu: i half-considered doing a list of people anglosphere doesn't want listed, but meh.
BingoBoingo: ascii what can really be done with all that that isn't being done in the lamestream?
mircea_popescu: "a manual of female ownership". wasn't this guy living alone as a hobo in the ghetto ?!
mike_c: unless you are sneaker-netting I don't see how making me go to a different URL everytime helps anything

ben_vulpes: yeah don't do that
ben_vulpes: mike_c: ssh -t $BOUNCER tmux attach
mircea_popescu: incidentally, i don't suppose anyoen read Ițic Ștrul, Dezertor (Isaac Trouble, Deserter) ?
mike_c: and I don't know about bouncer = script.. curl | gpg -d is pretty easy
mike_c: ah. no, i don't know this one
phf: which is just immediately next t-a message by timestamp
phf: after 1440677 log continues with t-a entries, and as of right now the next t-a entry is 1440678 "pete_dushenski: http://nymag.com/scienceofus/2016/03/serious-question-can-a-parrot-act-as-a-witness-in-court.html << computers are cheaper than women, but perhaps not cheaper than parrots" :D
phf: right now the switch over between t-a and b-a happens at log entry 1440677, which is "mircea_popescu: and so, this is the end for this particular irc channel as a venue for tmsr. ..."
mircea_popescu: can't count "doesn't need food" as a sales point.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it isn't as if the parts have fixed cost ~each~
asciilifeform: (they come with a 'burst mode' where the counter auto-increments, so you don't waste time loading a next addr)
asciilifeform: what i was talking about is that branching is why you can't sign program state, because of combinatorial explosion.
mod6: oh. right, can't you avoid them with bitwise ops?
asciilifeform: but ~this won't last long~
mod6: he was going to do this V like thing where each op has a corresponding hash, and at the end of all the ops, the hashes had to match or the cpu wouldn't execute the thing...
mod6: i had this dream lastnight that alf called me and wanted to tell me about this new method of processing... but i couldn't hear him very well as I was going through this tunnel.
midnightmagic: memory-hard POW wasn't really researched well i don't think back when bitcoin was invented.
mircea_popescu: apparently brain-in-jar helps against humanity, why wouldn't it.
PeterL: and I don't think the liabilites add up right?
PeterL: <deedbot-> [Trilema] MiniGame (S.MG), March 2016 Statement - http://trilema.com/2016/minigame-smg-march-2016-statement/ << mircea_popescu shouldn't the shareholder's equity change be -1.x instead of +1.x?
asciilifeform: aren't there 1,001 of these ?
BingoBoingo: What, you write lines in the channel. You aren't illiterate.
shinohai: BingoBoingo: << Pile more qntra shares on top of them? <<< since I suck at writing, I don't see that happening.
mircea_popescu: good for you you don't have any kids.
phf: would still want to figure out a bunch of problems before applying it "with computers" anyway, crypto, airgap, having it stored in a such a way that the inevitable arrest doesn't result in "5000 financial records were recovered in a daring raid by the brave constables"
mircea_popescu: they only seem fundamental to the hordes of spawn for which a soul couldn't be found, so they ended up consumers.
mircea_popescu: yes, could benefit from soap and electricity, but these aren't fundamental changes
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> because without this, a computer is not an asset, but a catastrophicly limitless liability. << hey, it doesn't matter, usg will pretend to be mp and make it all good!11
asciilifeform: and at this point i don't much care what burns, for it to come back.
asciilifeform: (i can't fathom ~why~ you would, but yes, you can)
danielpbarron: I don't claim to or care to study all religion, except to say that I will often look into those claiming to believe the Bible for the purpose of exposing false teachings to whoever showed it to me
mircea_popescu: amusingly, the parts that didn't come there in the shape of "look what books we can't read we stole from the jews, let's ignore half the sentences" came there in the shape of "look what books we can't read we stole from the armenians, let's ignore half the sentences".
PeterL: somehow I glazed over the whole second half of your sentence, I don't understand what cathars have to do with Judas?
mircea_popescu: don't tell me you just ignored the thing you didn't understand!
mircea_popescu: hm. shouldn't the fact that he has come again be pretty bad news ?
