mircea_popescu: thinking about it, a comment like "x never did his six months it appears" is unlikely to help x in any way. it used to be that kids were trained to throw an exception whenever something they didn'
t understood happened. by now however, ustards especially, just ignore the whole thing they didn'
t understand and continue as if it never happened.
mircea_popescu: and wouldn;
t you know it, no nsa report. hey asciilifeform how is it that BingoBoingo hanbot jurov etc all manage to do their reports in time and you i always have to remind ?
danielpbarron: the current goal is specifically to make sure the current miners don'
t use it, and all the bitcoin companies meet here anyway
agorecki: if miners were using his client is what I was meaning. don'
t know how hard it would be to get bit coin companies to use his software
agorecki: alright, so if he doesn'
t like a change it doesn'
t get into the client and therefore wouldn'
t be used
BingoBoingo: to be fair so far it is isn'
t a better bitcoin, merely best client for same bitcoin
agorecki: you don'
t have authority over anything
phf: ben_vulpes: i don'
t mean it in a sense of clarify your sloppy thinking, i mean it in a sense of i have no idea what you talking about
phf: it doesn'
t, unless i'm missing something
phf: it is perhaps useless since we don'
t have orphanage anymore
gribble: Error: You haven'
t asked me a command; perhaps you want to see someone else's more. To do so, call this command with that person's nick.
phf: i'm vaguely disappointed that chinese didn'
t preserve tibet as a kind of natural habitat, but had to go civilizing the place
shinohai: "Look, I don'
t care if there's a prophecy" <<<LOL
phf: i just can'
t get over that video
mircea_popescu: anyway, this entire "i don'
t understand what's being said - must be something wrong with speaker" thing never gets old.
mircea_popescu: somehow "apple is mostly mp's fucktoy by mass" and "reddit could buy china" don'
t collide in her head.
mircea_popescu: "sciencehatesyou 3 points 1 day ago* I can'
t be bothered to read his tedious text. I also don'
t care what he does with his fake exchange and dumbass site, it's not like anyone was using it. The whole thing was a fake front, a facade, from day one. He has been cast out from butt circles, and as a last resort, was here trolling buttcoin for clicks using sock puppets (and man does that guy use sock puppets - 90% of the users o
ben_vulpes: i do not understand mircea_popescu's selection criteria for the new l1, but i don'
t think i am given to.
TRS80`: asciilifeform: I don'
t recognize you. You can message me either of these two commands: "user identify <username> <password>" to log in or "user register <username> <password>" to register.
TRS80`: asciilifeform: Error: You don'
t have the #trilema,voice capability. If you think that you should have this capability, be sure that you are identified before trying again. The 'whoami' command can tell you if you're identified.
mircea_popescu: eh she's rapemeat. can'
t even fuck unless someone ties her down first.
ben_vulpes: (i don'
t know where that errant 'roles' came from)
mircea_popescu: no you don'
t understand. conspiraci! power! stuff is occuring!
mircea_popescu: whole argument is circular. "why aren;
t these schmucks making anything of themselves ?" "because they didn'
t have the opportunity" ie, "because they haven'
t made anything of themselves" "oh i see"
trinque: it could've also been that I was running a pubkey import script and it hadn'
t caught up to her
mircea_popescu: and by "this" i mean : 1) how do you know thinking steps ahead is possible ; 2) how do you know were it possible you're doing it ; 3) how do you know were it possible and you doing it they weren'
t.
mircea_popescu: right. so the theory of this here reformation is that they were kinda dumb and didn'
t understand the glory of modernity ?
mircea_popescu: but you gotta debug the "wtf this isn'
t working" complaints of people - and you're even less equipped to handle that, if nothing else because novel.
mircea_popescu: trinque i gotta say it's pretty fucking cool even for people who didn'
t grow up at all.
mircea_popescu: trinque thinking about it, we'll hafta use a diff control sequence. ! won'
t work. how about say $ ?
trinque: matter for the forum to discuss; it's not a decision to not, but haven'
t.
mod6: this is your fav. isn'
t it?
mircea_popescu: the other fact is that i really don'
t do much coding (mostly because whenever i try i start throwing things out of displeasure of the sort seen above)
mircea_popescu: let me guess, trees also can'
t be hash-indexed or some such bs
mircea_popescu: so you can store things in strings that aren'
t characters
phf: Well you can'
t do a[-1] because array indexing don'
t go that way. Can write two arrays a and b and make [n] access one or the other depending on the value
mircea_popescu: im fucking confused, reading lafond on one screen, talking to you here, and you don'
t use the same word for websocialmedia
diana_coman: well, they don'
t seem to be adults there really, hence not people :D
diana_coman: fwiw my understanding of that is simply that there are a whole lot of women around who can'
t get enough
diana_coman: anyway,at this level of haziness I don'
t think there's much that I can say further;
mircea_popescu: hey, if i didn'
t know better i'd think you're discussing a trilema article.
diana_coman: millionaries like missionaries now, can'
t spell
diana_coman: uhm, didn'
t you write "people who are better are better"
mircea_popescu: which is why i didn'
t approach the matter in ethical terms at all ; much to pete's displeasure.
mircea_popescu: i have no idea what it is, and i don'
t see that it is very much at all.
diana_coman: but things don'
t turn into anything, so how is this child turns into adult?
mircea_popescu: similarly a string doesn'
t "turn into anything". and main section stars don'
t turn into really large conglomeration of bathroom rubber duckies.
mircea_popescu: life isn'
t "whatever we make of it", but a rather well constrained biological process.
diana_coman: mk, so an adult is set then to whatever s/he is; is that your position above that people don'
t change? (I still don'
t see how is this really reconciled with "they turn to shit as they age!!" - if they change, they can'
t turn to anything )
mircea_popescu: juveniles aren'
t the animal in any other consideration or context. they WILL be the animal at some point, sure. but the very point of juvenility is they aren'
t.
mircea_popescu: whether other items are or aren'
t people has no bearing on the fact that children aren'
t however.
diana_coman: by that measure old people aren'
t people and idiots aren'
t people and non-millionaires aren'
t people and yeah, sure, there's nothing left to discuss either
diana_coman: and if people don'
t change, then get yourself a newborn and tell me how is s/he the millionaire
mircea_popescu: to quote marsellus "the punk" wallace, " You see, this profession is filled to the brim with unrealistic motherfuckers. Motherfuckers who thought their ass would age like wine. If you mean it turns to vinegar, it does. If you mean it gets better with age, it don'
t. "
diana_coman: so I don'
t quite see the point to expressing circles (other than they are satisfying)
mircea_popescu: well no. it's a matter of being what they are. hence the ancient "you can'
t just power cycle a box with no idea of what you are doing".
diana_coman: don'
t millionaires really get there by reading guides?
phf: that doesn'
t match bol and eol of course
pete_dushenski: ;;later tell ben_vulpes it may well be that i hail from narnia, but yes, interest rates and house prices are inversely correlated. furthermore, and i forget sometimes that americans lock in rates for entire mortgages, but canadians typically renegotiate their rates every 5 years. longer terms are available, but it's been +ev to take shorter terms for so long that i don'
t know of a single homeowner who doesn'
t do 5-year term
phf: asciilifeform: to be fair v doesn'
t solve third one
phf: jurov: also i agree as far as swank being piece of shit, it's just that it supports a certain development style that you can'
t get anywhere else, except smalltalk
phf: i don'
t on account of mac/linux
phf: i'd read it to figure out what the "improvements" are, but i can'
t, because the new code is ~insane~
phf: from the world of lisp rot, asdf, the `make' of common lisp, has been gaining features for a while now to the point that it contains all kinds of crazy shit, like a fullblown cross-lisp compatibility layer for various file operations, etc. so i pulled version 1.369, last one before faré took over the operations, it is 75kb vs current 560k (which is itself packed from a large repo). not surprisingly it works, but when it doesn'
t it exposes cockroa
danielpbarron: and general trend of "oh ~now~ reddit plays ball with USG (implication that it hadn'
t been already)"
mircea_popescu: if he doesn'
t like space as a tokenizer he has other issues.
mircea_popescu: why can'
t it ask them ? ha! because it's made up of pasty white boys. it can'
t ask them for the same reasonh the pasty ass white boys individually can'
t ask the cashiers for a blowjob.
mircea_popescu: usg would like to know as much as black min wage workers ; but it can'
t ask them
