nubbins`: besides, i didn'
t quote you without context, i *misquoted* you in the *midst* of context. jeez.
nubbins`: danielpbarron your logic doesn'
t follow, again
nubbins`: i thought you didn'
t like me anymore
punkman: anyway, doesn'
t hurt to come up with a pricetag. who knows maybe the satoshi hoard might move this year.
☟︎ danielpbarron: asciilifeform> the 'reddit appeal' of what we do << i didn'
t mean reaching out any further than in this very channel
danielpbarron: although without a bitcoin i don'
t have much interest in computer parts anyway, so that's a catch-22
fluffypony: and I asked them why they were building on Ethereum, and despite much hand-waving they couldn'
t give me an actual reason
shinohai: Plenty of discussion here. When there isn'
t, there is a plethora of information in the logs.
gernika: oh yeah - wasn'
t clear to me how to plug the thing in
gernika: ok. bleh. one more laptop laying around the house couldn'
t hurt I guess.
mircea_popescu: that seems workable on the surface - until you realise that the one thing being here promises is that those people won'
t generally WANT to work for $cubefarm.
mircea_popescu: when s.mg needed a tech hand diana_coman got it ; the job wasn'
t on the market nor would s.mg have continued had the job had to go to the market.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony tbh i did spend some time thinking about it - then. i don'
t see how what he was trying to do could have worked. why the everloving would someone here eschew the benefit of the wot and "hire someone to hire" for you ?
mircea_popescu: a while back, yeah. don'
t think it worked out too well in the end.
fluffypony: wasn'
t he the headhunter trying to hire staff for everyone?
mircea_popescu: shinohai i guess "community organizing" doesn'
t pay as well as one'd have expected or w/e.
mircea_popescu: "find the children that, on their own strength, may see through the idiocy and give them really heavy stones to lift so they don'
t".
mircea_popescu: anyway, while we differ on what we color iq-ism in, or what you eventually expect it to do, i don'
t think there's actual disagreement as to what it does.
mircea_popescu: the general complexity of the cell is perhaps the chief lie of popular conception of biology. "oh yeah, nucleus, cytoplasm, yeah i recall". you recall my left foot. golgi apparatus. a whole set of vacuoles. the nucleus has a membrane in layers. there's dozens of different items in there we don'
t even fully enumerate - and your understanding isn'
t good enough to stand for the mithocondria, which, incidentally, also has
mircea_popescu: what 'explain' ? there aren'
t the terms in which the explanation would be made.
assbot: Logged on 09-03-2016 16:31:18; trinque: I have a friend in prosthetics who once explained at length to me that the brain doesn'
t begin knowing how to see, smell, etc
mircea_popescu: 18* adlai wonders whether the low price tag of responsible disclosure stems from the glass cannon nature << doesn'
t seem glass cannon-y at all, with any patience you could have hijacked some "notable" accounts made them do some funky shit.
thestringpuller: but then again if aliens come down and deliver us philosopher stone that
t mircea_popescu: no, we can'
t have peace with the bourgeois still around. burn them.
mircea_popescu: what else is "flashed in bios" ? don'
t whip the wife ? bow before government ?
mircea_popescu: we didn'
t know that "surrender" would be an acceptable end.
thestringpuller: well i was more under the assumption philosopher stone of AI (a sorta Star Trek TNG "Data") doesn'
t currently have a means of existing
mircea_popescu: a young consumation girl [ie, whore], otherwise clever and vivacious, receiving some caviar aside the mug of vodka, proceeded to explain some matters
t ome.
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: perhaps different outlook, knowing you can'
t emulate human mind on current machines. perhaps the only way to "true AI" is some cyborg thing of a brain plugged up to machinery...
BingoBoingo: <danielpbarron> i didn'
t really design that. was just the default theme for the latest wordpress << Fing and play with toolbox, and by play with I mean delete shit and make it more minimalist. Do leave the screenreader stuff in and if possibru improve it.
trinque: the above doesn'
t seem to bode well for having a model of cognition any time soon
trinque: I have a friend in prosthetics who once explained at length to me that the brain doesn'
t begin knowing how to see, smell, etc
☟︎ thestringpuller: the most interesting developments won'
t exist until neuro-interfaces exist.
thestringpuller: I really don'
t think you can actually decipher the nature of 'real thought' on current hardware. AI will always be an emulation of the authentic thing.
mircea_popescu: well this is sad, i can'
t fucking find it, half hour later.
danielpbarron: i seriously considered the all txt files option, but figured it wouldn'
t work well with allowing comments
danielpbarron: i didn'
t really design that. was just the default theme for the latest wordpress
mircea_popescu: bbl, redoing this wake-up thing, apparently it didn'
t happen fully.
mircea_popescu: mircea_popescu> and more importantly, because once expressed the current situation becomes tolerable << INtolerable, obviously. and in all fields. much like a smoky kitchen wall is tolerable for just as long as you don'
t see any actual white stuff for contrast. but bring in a new stove, suddenly the wall needs a paintjob too.
mircea_popescu: which is what, in any proper sense of the term, "bitcoin" and "crypto" even mean. not fucking pgp as seen by the zimmerman that "oh i don'
t even have the key anymore"
assbot: Logged on 09-03-2016 13:26:24; nubbins`: more like "case 2: the shop pays a cleaner once a month to clean rugs. random asshole thought the rug cleaners weren'
t coming so he paid a second rug cleaning service to clean the rugs. then the regular rug cleaners came and cleaned the rug again. then random asshole tries to bill the shop for a needless rug cleaning that he ordered himself"
nubbins`: more like "case 2: the shop pays a cleaner once a month to clean rugs. random asshole thought the rug cleaners weren'
t coming so he paid a second rug cleaning service to clean the rugs. then the regular rug cleaners came and cleaned the rug again. then random asshole tries to bill the shop for a needless rug cleaning that he ordered himself"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "I was very surprised," said Lee after the match. "I didn'
t expect to lose. I didn'
t think AlphaGo would play the game in such a perfect manner.
fluffypony: I generally agree with the "don'
t be a giant douchenozzle" principle, and as long as employees are operating in any capacity representing one of my companies they don'
t have permission to be a giant douchenozzle on my behalf (what they do in their own time and of their own volition I don'
t care about)
trinque: I haven'
t. doesn'
t that send change back to some other address which is part of the "account" ?
trinque: I also had to lower a constant which didn'
t seem worth its own vpatch
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> and whats with the derps walking hunched in front of the camera << It's a common reflex among people who don'
t grok how cameras work in relation to their body.
adlai: "it's numbers that i don'
t really understand. it's just really large numbers"
nubbins`: she didn'
t say "failing to use tx fees for an output with only X confirmations is mooching"
nubbins`: danielpbarron her statement doesn'
t contain the qualifiers you mention -- by my understanding of english syntax, she's making a blanket statement.
danielpbarron: the two situations aren'
t really comparable; in the case to which she was referring, the 0-fee transaction was spending an output that only had 162 confirmations, several thousand less than the youngest output spent in the now infamous 'A1'
nubbins`: At any rate, this isn'
t a chastisement. If you fuck up to this degree, you're stuck having fucked up.
nubbins`: also from the mouth of hanbot: "You weren'
t caught in some occult and unknowable coincidence that was out of your hands. You either didn'
t make sure you understood the basics of using bitcoin, or else you decided not to care. In either case, it is you that will have to adjust (and I do earnestly hope that you do; there are a lot of resources on this very forum, on IRC, and around the web that can help)."
hanbot: BingoBoingo shit apparently doesn'
t change much.
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Do you have anything in particular that you would care to see translated, ideally something that isn'
t literal poetry? Yeah I've only just started picking RO up, so it would probably be a slow process..
mircea_popescu: the whole incident is certainly a fine example of why b-a and the world generally can'
t work as a "mp supported" thing. gotta be very expensive to be a lord, or else self-flattery is much to powerful a force.
mircea_popescu: he sat in the chan counting his bellybutton lint for years, making inept arguments about pointless shit - he lost all of them, but hey, as long as mp doesn'
t come straight out with "you're stupid, go back to school" one needn'
t notice this actually happened, can just as well pretend that blabla.
assbot: Logged on 08-03-2016 19:16:32; PeterL: and it is what, 10 lines if you don'
t count nubbins` ? that does not seem very lengthy
nubbins`: why don'
t they meet to institute an idiot harvest instead?
nubbins`: also, if you don'
t send me address for these shirts, i'm sending them to real nsa w/ your name on box 8)
williamdunne: nubbins`: tbf while using the company wallet might be a bad habit, I don'
t think its an issue in itself, although reading through the logs it seems everything has gone to shit
davout: nubbins`: i fail to see how (b) implies (c), I can perfectly have an account on my own exchange, can'
t I?
danielpbarron: even if all the addresses were emptied to 1bitcoineater it wouldn'
t matter.
solrodar: that isn'
t necessarily fraudulent, as long as everything's properly accounted for
nubbins`: ben_vouspes i can'
t see any other explanation. mircea_popescu claimed ownership of B's inputs, and they came from MPEx. Best-case scenario, mircea_popescu legitimately received the funds from MPEx and paid the bettors out of pocket. Worse-case scenario, he paid the bettors directly with MPEx funds.
williamdunne: danielpbarron: the part of life I wouldn'
t talk in public
williamdunne: Difficulty in my personal life, nothing I couldn'
t recover from (obviously(
