asciilifeform: mats: i can't help but wonder, if author of 'alphago' is confident that the machine can win, why not pick up some easy coin betting ?
mats: adlai: yeah, he didn't use an affiliate link
pete_dushenski: because you don't socialise with meat, whereas 99.4% of population does.
pete_dushenski: p their friends for brunch on sunday morning while talking at length about what option boxes (of the 4 available) they ticked or didn't, and why or why not. this 'aspie' set has no goals beyond the moment's likes and hearts, not unlike the set that tlp mischaracterised as patek philippe owners.
asciilifeform: specifically how there is no place in usa where one can 'i will pay double for non-monsanto but i don't give a fuck about 'gmo' and i sure as fuck don't want to see homeopathic crud in the shop' ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: (it can't pay my rent, or tax, or ..., etc)
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: perhaps i ought to explain that i don't really treat bitcoin as money
pete_dushenski: but if 'organs won't buy bulldozer', most isn't a stretch
pete_dushenski: you don't understand how finance worx
BingoBoingo: But apparently it doesn't count as obesity anymore until a person is so fat they spread out like a pancake
shinohai: tumbrinas don't get to decide what is anything.
mircea_popescu: typical airhead 5foot11 blondi that doesn't college and doesn't straight callgirl moves to pretentious store to sell perfume and designer clothes on comission.
mircea_popescu: they get less than they'd ask for to deliver the same work, if they weren't in the apple ml.
mircea_popescu: just because they're not lame as fguck about it, going telloing kids what the levels "should be" doesn't mean they don't exist.
mircea_popescu: they worship steve, don't they ? why ?
mircea_popescu: if apple isn't direct-marketed then what is ? and what's an apple fan ?
asciilifeform: last i checked, they didn't offer 'get ipnohe for selling five'
mircea_popescu: it's so bizarre that the usg doesn't embrace herbalife. yes all the arguments against it are solid, but they cut just as much against say, apple. google.
asciilifeform: i get 'ERROR:root:Couldn't open wallet.dat/main.'
asciilifeform: i would malleate own tx to low-s atm but i don't have a handy proggy written for this
mircea_popescu: well he can't spend it again till he convinces his wallet that tx should go away
asciilifeform: 1) it was a good chunk of my net worth 2) it was a surrender to shitgnomery which i still don't properly understand
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: this one can't be run fanless, it is the kind that has the inverter going at ~all times~
mircea_popescu: "i am in bitcoin, i just don't know anything about it. like those people from new york that dunno what the chrysler building is!"
mircea_popescu: <mod6> ben_vulpes: it basically shouldn't ever happen, but it could and since; no means yes, yes means anal. << lol io like how he thinks.
mod6: ok, so instead what I'll do here is add an automated test to check for this, so i don't regress later. and then most likely will put out a 3rd beta patch for people to test/review.
mod6: yeah, in this regard, my V basically does know what to look for in a given vpatch file -- the thing it wasn't doing is checking that the hashes match eachother -- which can cause a downstream infinate loop when traversing the map.
ben_vulpes: don't take me too seriously this morning mod6 i got dressed and went to the office before realizing it was still sunday
mod6: well, no forking going on. im guessing it'll die when it runs out of ram, but haven't checked that yet.
ben_vulpes: ideally a v impl. knows what vpatches are to look like and barfs on anything that doesn't look like that instead of trying to catch all of the edge cases
mod6: ben_vulpes: it basically shouldn't ever happen, but it could and since; no means yes, yes means anal.
mircea_popescu: i don't see what drawing the matrix adds, either. arguing to ignorance alfie ?
mircea_popescu: this shit just doesn't work and is certainly no solution.
mircea_popescu: "hey, at least i don't live in the projects. i choose who rapes me!"
copypaste: it's an IDE for a new proprietary language. it's crud, sure, but code generation isn't bad by itself
asciilifeform: couldn't try it even if i wanted.
asciilifeform: srsly languages aren't hard , wtf
mircea_popescu: there isn't a "like this"
ben_vulpes: it ain't conjugation 'cause it ain't a verb, (and this question clearly makes me an "ESL" speaker) so what is the linguistic term of art for constructing language elements like this?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: not all 'tastes go great together', imho. i don't eat cake in the shitter either
assbot: Logged on 13-02-2016 23:57:26; BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: "Lynxlet is an application for launching the text web browser Lynx in a Terminal window. Lynxlet is a Termlet - a class of applications designed to make Terminal based programs easy to use. " << Can't you just use... lynx???
BingoBoingo: I imagine it can't be long before old mp writes commentaries on young mp's trilemas

BingoBoingo: Why wouldn't it
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: "Lynxlet is an application for launching the text web browser Lynx in a Terminal window. Lynxlet is a Termlet - a class of applications designed to make Terminal based programs easy to use. " << Can't you just use... lynx??? ☟︎
BingoBoingo: I don't see that browser in my /usr/ports folder
pete_dushenski: http://www.unrisd.org/brett-scott << in which the united nations admits that bitcoin isn't for the poor (viz. africa)
pete_dushenski: lol not even ! it still doesn't !
mod6: malleus didn't change. just was reground.
pete_dushenski: mod6: weren't we tweaking previous patches by changing that one line to 'malleus' ?
mod6: my node doesn't choke at all, and seems to even see blocks before btc.blockr.io sometimes.
jurov: yes you don't have block nor transaction
danielpbarron: i think it just means you don't have the block that they spend from yet
jurov: !t m x.eur
mod6: oooh, you mean the beta patches? naw, you shouldn't need to do that.
mircea_popescu: but i still can't be arsed to do the actual math for it, so whatevs.
mircea_popescu: anyways. the original discussion was about how you can't make a mesh arbitrarily fine and expect it to still shield anything.
jurov: beause the field isn't DC but AC
mircea_popescu: and plox don't tell me it's the shape.
BingoBoingo: probably best to ground anything that isn't used for explicitly vexual purposes though.
mircea_popescu: the problem of penetration isn't the only consideration here. what you're saying is akin to the proposition that a cpu is only hot on the surface, so only a fool would connect it to 5kg of copper.
jurov: these requencies don't penetrate deeper
jurov: ofc, you're welcome to shield your walls with 2mm solid metal. the salesman prolly won't tell you that only first few micrometers count for the nastiest stuff like GSM anyway
mircea_popescu: you don't get an out of jail free card re wires just because "but officer, i needed smaller holes"
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo that thing can't possibly be anything but a scam at this point, of the "magic doubler address" ilk.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Apparently BizzaroBet isn't particular about wording
mircea_popescu: unlike you, i have explicit author names and explicit trust relations with them. so... bald men shouldn't throw rox!
mircea_popescu: you didn't even fucking read, let alone write.
ben_vulpes: "you haven't done anything because you're using sed and awk which you didn't write HA!"
assbot: Logged on 13-02-2016 02:18:58; mod6: <+ben_vulpes> my mind recoils at the notion of running a reference implementation compiled without knowing the patchlist going into it << im not sure how to reconsile this. either you don't know what you're doing and you use a fully automated build script, or you do, and you build by hand.
mircea_popescu: what start-up didn't fail ?
assbot: Logged on 13-02-2016 01:32:22; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-02-2016#1404057 << i didn't know you swung that way!
BingoBoingo: punkman: ty, but it's a fucking camera. I don't see much cause for dicking its firmware up yet.
asciilifeform: won't run, laughs at grease, water, dirt, crummy paper
mircea_popescu: im not even sure they have a perfect user. they don't aim to anything.
BingoBoingo: If you say subversive things on twitter and haven't been banned yet, it is because they have determined you are an unimportant loon. This is why I find twitter offensive for its failure to ban me.
danielpbarron: if it weren't for my extremely offensive views, i'm really their perfect user
danielpbarron: i thought maybe it was because i have a really old account and i don't spam, ever
mircea_popescu: turns out mps banning you sticks, you banning them doesn't. who knew.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo eh, dangerous for whom ? twitter is a goner, they're not making money, they can't make money, the share is collapsing, a 2020 with twitter still around is an impossibility.
mircea_popescu: it doesn't work, but then again neither did whatever the "hacker team" was doing, so...
mircea_popescu: but hey, italy isn't a part of africa, populated by first-generation-in-shoes subhuman horde. they got like technologees and shit. can spam like teh pros!
asciilifeform: toldya it won't detach unless &
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> the 'if we close our eyes, mircea_popescu won't exist!' orchestra is a fountain of lulz <<< i'm totally making cocktails with water from there. makes the girls all giddy.
assbot: Logged on 13-02-2016 15:21:20; *: asciilifeform doesn't sync from heathen world any moar. either moves signed gigatarball around, or -connect's via ssh tunnel
shinohai: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-02-2016#1404757 <<< /me experimented with -connecting to my blockchain stored on the pogo, haven't got it ironed out yet. ☝︎

asciilifeform: lulzily, i wrote malleus upon being prodded by mircea_popescu - who hasn't, it appears, yet tried it

BingoBoingo: Side effect of this is if weight is actually a concern (it really shouldn't be) AAA cell battery prison could also be offered.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo there's been a lot of progress with fine meshes or w/e, but i'm pretty sure they still didn't manage to catch up to li ion
BingoBoingo: I don't want lithium cells at all outside of cmos battery
BingoBoingo: I really don't understand why there isn't more outrage about the perpetuation of this lithium ion battery planned obscelescence scam.
blockchain_enthu: isn't land deeds prepared by only one authority?
mircea_popescu: if you do you wouldn't call it that.
danielpbarron: blockchain_enthu, I'd re-voice you but I can't think of anything else of interest to add here. If anyone else wants to take a turn...
assbot: Logged on 10-02-2016 21:10:11; mircea_popescu: these delusioanl urchins are so used to seeing themselves as a sort of neo-in-matrix that it just doesn't compute.
danielpbarron: the key word there is 'somebody' and right now you ain't that
mod6: has everyone who is going to test this: http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2016-February/000210.html actually finished? maybe i don't need to wait another week.
