mircea_popescu: which explains exactly why plenty of people who manage
to stay alive don't manage anything else.
Adlai: gabriel_laddel: you must have
terrible
taste in music
mircea_popescu: all it
takes is a will
to stay alive, which pointedly includes
the will
to drink your blood if ity comes
to it.
funkenstein_: gabriel_laddel,
then you aren't working with any
gabriel_laddel: funkenstein_: my point is more along
the lines of even with "enough
to stay alive" negros produce nothing of interest.
funkenstein_: gabriel_laddel,
thnks interesting.. but my point was more along
the lines of you have
to at least have what it
takes
to stay alive
mircea_popescu: for one
thing, newton did not have a clean water supply.
mircea_popescu: i'm not going
to call it a syllogism. what if you don't know you're missing x ? what
thrones of china you're missing
that you never had ?
gabriel_laddel: <funkenstein_> if you are missing a good water supply you are also not going
to be
the next satoshi << ;; google east asian malnutrition IQ
Adlai: mircea_popescu:
the exact words have long since succumed
to neoconservative GC, but something
to
the
tune of "something is funny when it surprises
the listener in a manner which makes sense in retrospect, but
the speaker knew in advance was unexpected"
ben_vulpes eagerly anticipates learning from asciilifeform what novel idiocy
the "$9 compudder" ships with
Adlai: rather
than answer my own question, I'll pose another... many moons ago, while applying for an exclusive elitist summer course for kids in philosophy or paradoxes or somesuch,
the instructor interviewed each kid individually
funkenstein_: Adlai, some of
these
terms are kind of like "heap",
they seem
to want
to avoid precise definition
Adlai: previous attempts
to define intelligence seem focused on measuring performance in various capacities
Adlai: what is intelligence,
though? maybe "likeliness of being
the next satoshi" is a good starting point for a better definition
funkenstein_: if you are missing a good water supply you are also not going
to be
the next satoshi
gabriel_laddel: "and of course, if you are missing a few chromosomes its unlikely you will be
the next satoshi"
gabriel_laddel: funkenstein_: aw come on, walk all
the way
to
the obvious conclusion.
funkenstein_: and of course, if you are missing a few chromosomes its unlikely you will be
the next satoshi
funkenstein_: gabriel_laddel, I do concede
that without
things like genetics, air
to breathe, gravity and such, we wouldn't have intelligence as we know it
funkenstein_: lol, yeah most of
that stuff was started like 8 months ago.
gabriel_laddel: funkenstein_: do you agree
that memory is a component of intelligence?
pete_dushenski: 1enjoying your posts, especially
the remarkable 'march 18' lot !
funkenstein_: gabriel_laddel, no i can't get a dog
to pass
the BC calc
test but
that is hardly a proof of causation
gabriel_laddel: funkenstein_: "You may have some idea in your mind
that
things like cancer, intelligence, and obesity are in some way caused by genetics. By
the
time you are done reading
this post, I hope you will no longer labour under
this gross misconception." << wait, so intelligence is in no way caused by genetics?
decimation: actually it does look like
they have some su aircraft, not sure if
they will be
there otday
pete_dushenski: clearly
this isn't stopping
the surprisingly prolific funkenstein_ but still.
decimation: including
the only working B-29 apparently
pete_dushenski: "Wait, you're doing a warrant check on me before I can report a robbery? Oh yeah, we gotta know who you are before we
take a complaint. You and everyone you’re living with? What’s your address again? You still want
to report
that robbery?"
decimation: asciilifeform: note
that
there is going
to be a very large flight of WWII aircraft over
the national mall
today
pete_dushenski: thestringpuller:
the 2nd order ones are only 1/1000th as powerful
though. still +ev.
thestringpuller: I'm starting
to
think everytime you kill a Gavin-esque zombie, it's already infected 10 innocents which
then become zombies.
chetty: Whatever
the
technical issues on block size,
the danger of letting pretty much one person drive a change should be obvious
danielpbarron: "I don?t really have a strong opinion on block size either?but if we?re going
to do a hard fork, let?s use
this as an opportunity
to create a good process for hard forks (which we?ll inevitably need
to do again in
the future)." << leave it up
to
these guys and
the 21 million cap will be lifted in a matter of years
fluffypony: btcdrak: good posts on
the mailing list btw
cazalla: if and when it comes
time
to cut
throats, well i suspect i'll ace
that compared
to some others
☟︎ cazalla: i'm on
the lower end of
the
totem pole here, not so bad
to realise such a
thing
though
cazalla: well, my example is not
the only one, just something i've observed myself
gabriel_laddel: IMHO,
the differences between #b-a and /pol/ are many. /pol/ doesn't like it when
they're censored and complains about how unfair
things are. MP, and ascii both look ahead and see
the need for WoTnet. MP commissions it out of pocket.
☟︎ cazalla: and when i
tried
to discuss Bitcoin with
them i was accused of being a JIDF shill
cazalla: i guess
the difference is
that /pol/ assigns
the problems cause by an individual
to
the group whereas #b-a does not
cazalla: sorta disintegrated since 4chan became cuckchan and 8chan can't pay
the bills
assbot: Logged on 06-05-2015 04:04:38; mircea_popescu: asciilifeform how would you feel if you had
to live in a place where nobody used words longer
than 4 letters ?
cazalla: i spent much more
time
there before i found #b-a
cazalla: toddlers are sorta like jews, call out and cry as
they strike you
☟︎ cazalla: missus had a cry
too because he hits her
cazalla: i'm like.. don't run.. so he runs and goes head over heals and whack.. what can ya do?
they don't fucking listen
cazalla: he face planted into
the floor boards and
tried
to eat
the play-doh i bought him
today
cazalla: nothing worse
than drinking enough
to get
tired and going
to bed but not enought
to knock you out cold so you get back up for a bit more youtubing and maybe a little mfc
gribble: artifexd was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 2 weeks, 1 day, 13 hours, 17 minutes, and 7 seconds ago: <artifexd> I'm comfortable calling it a review. Not just of what it is but what it was and how it got
to where it is.
cazalla: not a single indian or asian cunt in
the crowd
cazalla: fuck
that song is liek 25 years old now
chetty: suns not even up here, much less over
the yardarm
chetty: hey cazalla I
think you and me only ones awake :P
cazalla: unban vexual da fuck is
this racism against
true blue australians :\
☟︎ cazalla: feels like a million miles away from
the monitor
cazalla: fkn logs hard
to read with a drunken costanza squint
gribble: You rated user phantomcircuit on
Tue Feb 10 15:24:55 2015, with a rating of -10, and supplied
these additional notes: Aka Patrick Strateman.
That he has
the unmitigated audacity
to pretend he is a Bitcoin dev is unsurprising for
the history of
this felon. His name is permanently besmirched by one of
the most inept frauds in
the history of Bitcoin (Bitcoinica). He is also famous for (1 more message)
gribble: (eauth <nick>) -- Initiate authentication for user <nick>. You must have registered a GPG key with
the bot for
this
to work. You will be given a link
to a page which contains a one
time password encrypted with your key. Decrypt, and use
the 'everify' command with it. Your passphrase will expire in 10 minutes.
mircea_popescu: !rate phantomcircuit -10 One of
the Bitcoinica scammers. Also famous for having sent
the whole userbase
the emails of
the whole userbase back when he was running some derpy "exchange"
thing. Altogether
the lowest sort of scum infesting Bitcoin - whenever you interact with him god kills a kitten.
pete_dushenski curious, but
too
tired
to see if he ends up plussed (or negged!) in
this evening's ratings updates par mp.
