ben_vulpes: subspace in busy warehouse, not much by way of rent or opportunities for
theft.
ben_vulpes: with
tens of
thousands of dollars in hardware
ben_vulpes: actually asciilifeform i contest
this stance
ben_vulpes: what is different
there? why no orcs or plunderers?
ben_vulpes: out in
the woods,
the sop (as i understand it, not having pulled
this particular hat
trick myself) is
to fire a warning shot, shoot
the invader, and
then call
the sherrif.
thestringpuller: when you shoot him in
the suburbs, everyone loses
their shit.
ben_vulpes: most recently, we've seen what happens
to people who shoot each other in
the suburbs
ben_vulpes: fwiw
there aren't many orcs in
the rural bits of ussa, and one can shoot
trespassers on sign in
those provinces
too
ben_vulpes: but uh normally
the fab does not produce hipsters, no.
ben_vulpes: thestringpuller: D1X can do strange
things
to a man.
thestringpuller: he was like "I've become a hipster even
though I was an anti-hipster"
thestringpuller: ben_vulpes: buddy of mine who works at
the intel plant up
there.
assbot: Logged on 07-02-2015 06:06:39; mircea_popescu: ironically, irc was a big
thing when i was a
teen.
then pretty much forgot about it. only rediscovered it in a frustrated attempt
to make sense of
the ever mounting idiocy
that bitcoin appeared
to be.
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> [] like,
the node, which is an always on demon, and
then various
things connecting
to it : such as other nodes, on
the eth card, or
the user, always on
the specifically delegated interface, etc ? << working
towards
this is
the root my plaintive cries about what it means
to "bitcoinate"
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> [] how do you plan
to use it w/o a wallet ? << gotta move all
the
transaction generation logic out of
the
turd. implies a database replacement using something
that can actually be queried, not a braindamaged k/v store.
thestringpuller: really would love
to watch a Comedy show inspired by
the work of ALF
ben_vulpes: there are all of
these
things
that make sense in
the context of it, but...
ben_vulpes: i start
to understand how badly
the c
toolchain messes with ones head
ben_vulpes: mod6, asciilifeform: forgive my naivte, but what's
the recommended approach
to efficiently
toggling between versions of libs for compiling cturds? in particular, ssl for bitcoind.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i don't buy
the malicious usg.
thing is purely reactive, and only within
the logic of itself.
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> [] actually i'm kinda half curious how many us based conf attendants discover at
the border
that
the newly expanded
tsa doth not agree
their passport holds any value. << me
too.
adlai is a fan of dropping in a url and letting assbot do
the heavy lifting
adlai: [] really is getting quite
tedious
ben_vulpes: <asciilifeform> [] interesting idiots are sometimes (temporarily)
tolerated.
tedious idiots - never. << /me waves
adlai: by
that logic, world war iii is
the 'war on drugs'
trinque: how many countries have
to be fighting a war for
the phrase "world war"
to apply?
ben_vulpes: ;;later
tell sergiohlb your cloak is getting applied *after* you join
ben_vulpes: ;later
tell sergiohlb your cloak is getting applied *after* you join
danielpbarron: hey at
those QNTR prices, I made ~5 bucks per article i wrote. not bad :D
danielpbarron: heh, someone did, and it's not configured
to serve blocks at
the moment
danielpbarron: ben_vulpes, did you just
try
to connect
to my node?
ben_vulpes: <chetty> [] and you had
to rent
the state company ones// coming soon
to us, internet public utility will make it so << pretty much here already in
the states
assbot: Logged on 19-03-2014 17:33:21; asciilifeform: people don't seem
to grasp
the fact
that
the situation in 'shall be delivered' is as inevitable as
that first street drunk who electrocuted himself in
the 1870s (?)
mircea_popescu: is well... laughable. good luck wioth
that, you only have one life and when
that's finished
there you go.
mircea_popescu: charlie going "i am willing
to work with planes as long as either
the light stays on or x or y"
mircea_popescu: and
to "fuck you charlie, read or don't read but
the light stays out"
mircea_popescu: it came about
to "fuck you louise, go in
the air shelter and sit
there"
mircea_popescu: the plane CHANGED
their life. it didn't come about
to make 1900 a more-1800-than-1800.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, by 1950
the vast majority of
the utility of planes was dropping bombs on people's heads.
mircea_popescu: the generalexpectation being,
that it will meld into people's lives as
they are, making
them more so.
mircea_popescu: when
the airplane came about, everyone hailed it as a "great civilizing factor"
mircea_popescu: well, let me change
this from something we don't know
to something we do know.
adlai: if it's an unconscious expectation,
then i'm not conscious of having it :)
adlai doesn't have
this expectation
assbot: Logged on 07-02-2015 20:09:21; mircea_popescu: adlai i
think pretty much
the entirety of
the problem stems from your outright bizarre expectation
that bitcoin will somehow suit you.
the correct approach is exactly
the opposite : change yourself
to suit exactly.
mircea_popescu: italians, as
their states were disintegrating, called
this spezzatura
mircea_popescu: ANYONE Could be an actual star/paratrooper/president if
they actually
tried.
mircea_popescu: no, you imagine specifically
that you aren't, and
that
this is specifically why it matters.
mircea_popescu: game much more serious, because not being
the work self, it actually
therefore must be...
THE REAL ME
adlai: khaneman has a chapter on
this,
tl;dr is
that a good "expert" is one who knows when
to mistrust expert intuition
mircea_popescu: by any one of
the 0.05 people present on
the same square mile
adlai: well you can catch yourself being stupid before you "open your mouth and remove all doubt", although i guess it's harder
the stupider you get
