pete_dushenski: danielpbarron: re: https://twitter.com/danielpbarron/status/614855224864448513 << is this the same rassah from the ol' 'mycelium knows how to make rng for their entropy dongle now but won't because it's hard and other reasons' ?
mircea_popescu: cazalla you knbow why they're pushing that right ?
pete_dushenski checks dpb twitter
danielpbarron gimped a confed flag into his twitter pic
pete_dushenski: eh fuck that. i make my own words.
cazalla: pete_dushenski, gimp and trademarks are not verbs dude http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressmaterials/pdfs/photoshop_guidelines_pr.pdf "For example: "The image was enhanced using Adobe® Photoshop® software." not . . . "The image was photoshopped."
pete_dushenski: o hey liking the new bunny header
pete_dushenski: cazalla: just noticed a typo there ... "cybercrimial" instead of "cybercriminal" in the opening sentence. fix plox :)
cazalla: lol i put it up no less than 5 minutes ago BingoBoingo
mircea_popescu: they need to confront it insistently and constantly.
mircea_popescu: they need to confront their impotence
cazalla: perhaps i'm still at that juvenile stage in my life where if someone tells me i can't have something (flag in this instance) i want it all the more
cazalla: williamdunne, not really, if the rabbit mascot was still alive i'd have named him dixie
danielpbarron: just like qntra, the rabbit is now a part of cazalla
williamdunne: Is there some back story to the Qntra rabbit?
lobbes: lol, qntra rabbit ain't giving in to federal pressure: http://qntra.net/qntra.jpg

mircea_popescu: you didn't know it was called a truffle ?
williamdunne: I'll give you that one, then again they have a slight advantage over myself when it comes to detection of it
mircea_popescu: it's a wonder then that dogs don't stick the truffle straight into the girl's elbow.
williamdunne: Oh, well I'll have to disagree. More often than not, at least with my (limited) experience they smell no different to the rest of whomever it belongs to ☟︎
williamdunne: Ok, well there's the confusion. By smell I thought you meant carries an odour
mircea_popescu: yeah they do.
williamdunne: Not all vaginas smell, so at least there's that
ascii_field: but go and try signing your name with it
ascii_field: yes, you kinda put it there
mircea_popescu: i suppose this passes for "higher level language" in some circles.
ascii_field: it remains possible to deal with infinities of certain kinds whilst knowing what one is talking about
mircea_popescu: otherwise, feel free to tell your compiler something like "so this program i wanna work on, right ? it has like a number of functions in it and stuff like that"
mircea_popescu: (they're not impermissible in nature - merely in thinking. you gotta know what you're talking about)
ascii_field: tell it to hilbert & co
mircea_popescu: the point is that unbounded lists are impermissible.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field mere moving the gulp posts. "septimum non datur" or w/e
ascii_field mentally blows dust off his unwritten magnum opus re: ternary computing, 'tertium datur'
mircea_popescu: along with reductio ad absurdum and friends, the infrastructure of all thought.
ag3nt_zer0: mircea_popescu: thanks. what's tnd?
ascii_field: but this accounts for what, 81 bt ?
ascii_field: well we already knew that headers are stored forever in ram
mircea_popescu: the unverified suspicion is that this exists as overflow protection.
mircea_popescu: alright. be specific, ask specific questions, construct syllogisms so that you can work tnd and the rest of the devices thought rests on...
ascii_field: and, for anyone who has not yet read the article: precisely same footprint ~whether blocks are eaten one by one, or bitcoind merely started with the results thereof~
ag3nt_zer0: mircea_popescu: might you offer a suggestion as to how to approach it in a more forward manner?
ascii_field: then we're left with the 30MB footprint of the bugger itself + mempools
ascii_field: ought to move to a cached disk turd
ascii_field: http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/attachments/20150701/pss_2f32fc9570f505a65c46b118c415cae70d57d757.png << in other news, one can infer that bitcoin permanently sits down on ~300 byte per block ingested
mircea_popescu: not the point, tho. the point is, you're approaching it backwards.
ag3nt_zer0: it doesn't have to... it was out of respect that I asked
mircea_popescu: why would it matter to me what you could or couldn't be ?
assbot: Trust relationship from user mircea_popescu to user ag3nt_zer0: Level 1: 0, Level 2: 2 via 2 connections. |http://www.btcalpha.com/wot/trust/?from=mircea_popescu&to=ag3nt_zer0 | http://www.btcalpha.com/wot/user/ag3nt_zer0/
ag3nt_zer0: again, I understand not having the time or patience as well...
ag3nt_zer0: mircea_popescu: but just becasue I do not consider it silly romanticism does not mean I could not be convinced if one were inclined to point out any inconsistencies in their thought... which is why I ask in this room... I suppose that if there were people able to help me peel back the layers a bit further, or demonstrate to me my own silly romantic tendencies that lead me to think most of this thought is "true", they migh
funkenstein_: lol, sorry.. guy kinda scared with his "you are dumber than DPR"
mircea_popescu: is this some sort of ploy to drum up interest for tardstalk forum ?
ascii_field: ('cryptovote' is a vastly overworked and tiresome subject in maths academia, for 20+yrs now)
ascii_field: ^ translation: 'we wanna get rich off our crackpot altcoin plz'
assbot: Coin-Vote testers wanted ... ( http://bit.ly/1f27C13 )
funkenstein_: speaking of the vein of paranoia mentioned by midnightmagic, I would love some help to evaluate this comment: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1105109.msg11765764#msg11765764

scoopbot_revived: F.MPIF June 2015 trading statement http://explo.yt/post/2015/07/01/F.MPIF-June-2015-trading-statement
mircea_popescu: in which line, i was recently shocked to realise my mother's retiring. when i met the woman she was young!
mircea_popescu: i suppose the problem here is that to the children of today the women are grandmothers, but to they that rolled them on all their sides in the hay they'll stay about 20.
ascii_field: there is none of it to be had now.
ascii_field: but it hardly gets deader than the thing that made him
mircea_popescu: he's certainly above the usual productions of his peninsula.
mircea_popescu: evola, recently mentioned here, very much in the same vein
mircea_popescu: ag3nt_zer0 he's the original neoplatonician "ezoterist" or however you call this silly sort of romanticism that passes for "traditionalism" in postmodernism.
ag3nt_zer0: interesting - have never heard of Mirandola referred to as a core "traditionalist" writer - Guenon, Schuon, Evola, Burkhardt and others - but not Mirandola. From a nothing read I can see a similarity in their attempt to legitimize these modalities of thought but I read that his ideas were influential in renaissance humanism which guenon appears to be highly critical of... ?
midnightmagic: So? Opinion doesn't mean action; and it doesn't follow that I'd waste my time reporting, or even communicating with an inverted totalitarianist state, given the literal costs of doing so in terms of freedom and money.
assbot: Logged on 31-01-2015 02:02:19; midnightmagic: dude. seriously plotting or fomenting the physical murder of the USG is sedition, insurrection, and various related crimes and there's no fucking way I'm interested in being associated with it just because I'm lurking in here.
assbot: Logged on 10-02-2015 03:25:08; mircea_popescu: this is like asking wyatt earp "how do you distinguish between the f brothers and stray dog"
midnightmagic: I just read more than I comment is all.
mircea_popescu: in the end what difference does it make.
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: yeah, I know. I refuse to the signal the in-tribe, and that seems to be giving him a reason to think I'm some kind of plant with an agenda. If he accepted the truth I think he'd calm down quite a bit, although at this point he'd probably never believe it.
mircea_popescu: the other side of the earlier fox : http://40.media.tumblr.com/34fcf7d7d8f39cd0ae9d488aa89d714e/tumblr_nh26kcSHGN1ti99ofo2_1280.jpg

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=01-07-2015#1182528 << me too. ☝︎
funkenstein_ thinks ascii_field might know a thing or two about using switches
ascii_field used to own such a stick, for putting maths graffiti in wet cement
ag3nt_zer0: mircea_popescu: yes, specifically that
ascii_field: or what, mircea_popescu took up cuneiform ?
ag3nt_zer0: mircea_popescu: yes I read the log
assbot: Logged on 23-06-2015 03:05:44; mircea_popescu: and wtf is "perennialism" even supposed to be, pico de la mirandolla and friends ?
ascii_field: right thickness ?
mircea_popescu: and the shavings ? why, the shavings burn, creating this most pleasant wooden smoke atmosphere.
mircea_popescu: i've since used them as switches, and broke them on ass. the parts i collected and since just about right thickenss, sharpened them
mircea_popescu: coupla monthgs ago i bought a couple of thin wooden sticks from an art store. impulse buy, i just happened to be next to them.
mircea_popescu: you ever read the log ?
assbot: 0 results for 'perennial tradition' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=perennial+tradition
mircea_popescu: !s perennial tradition
funkenstein_: incidentally, one of the lines I did was called "the nose"
ag3nt_zer0: same thing
ag3nt_zer0: maybe we were using the "perennial tradition" terms
mircea_popescu: i don't think so ?
funkenstein_: lol, definitely enough crack there to last a lifetime
ag3nt_zer0: mircea_popescu: you had asked what the hell is the sophia perennis anyway... well, a core and concise exposition of it can be found in more than a few works - here is one that stands at 134 pages and I would really love to hear some thoughts on it if you get a chance to sit down with it... if for no other reason than I struggle to find "holes" in it... http://tohno-chan.com/ddl/src/Rene_Guenon_-_The_Crisis_of_the_Modern_W
