mircea_popescu: "Josh Garza – What we can
talk about is everybody, so, we quite literally use every major manufacturer in
the world, so, bitmain, we're actually in discussions right now with bitfury, *inaudible*, I mean, every single company. We are in
the process of beginning
to build our own chip, we do have hardware
that is not publicly available
that created economies of scale for us, kinda all over
the place, probably a less gl
cazalla: only a scammer would mix
the 2 up
cazalla: anyway, his
timeline is still fucked up, bitmain didn't even ship scrpt miners back in october nor can you mine scypt coins with sha256 asics despite him claiming otherwise
cazalla: easy for him
to confirm
the rest or for bitmain
to do so if
they respond
to my email
mircea_popescu: cazalla can easily be read as "one order was
this much".
mircea_popescu: amusingly enough, species exist for
the same exact reason and
through apparently
the same mechanism subatomic particles "exist"
gernika: Reading at a higher level seems akin
to using higher level programming languages.
The ability
to pack more information into fewer lexical units is powerful. Just realized
this.
undata: ben_vulpes: well said; I have my doubts as
to whether
this particular one is stable
ben_vulpes: undata, danielpbarron:
things on
the manifold of reality find
trajectories of stability away from each other because niche specialization
mircea_popescu: how did
that go, "if your nipples don't float halfway between your chin and your belly button, your
tits ain't big enough"
mod6: <+mircea_popescu>
the one with
the nice
tits. << indeed.
mircea_popescu: i will be
this codgery old guy with an ellaborate cough, an old german
trenchcoat, aviator eye goggles and a sorta-functioning projector
mircea_popescu: it's one of
the skills i reserve for
the scavenger world
to come.
mircea_popescu: hanbot which is
this one anyway ?
the 90s
thing with ryder ?
mircea_popescu: this is a cognate of
the guy who bought glasses
to read. because
that's what he was missing.
hanbot: in
that case, i suppose she rapes a baby.
mircea_popescu: "Why are you locking up
these important notices in a PDF
turd hosted on a site with Facebook integration." BingoBoingo because
they seek external validation, and
they believe inaccessibility and hermetism are a good proxy. like all ignoramuses ever do believe.
gernika: Well, first I have
to learn Greek.
Then Latin.
☟︎ gernika: That seems reasonable. I believe I'm looking at 5
to 10 years of work.
mircea_popescu: course, it did markedly improve pretty much any language-related cognitive function in
the process.
mircea_popescu: gernika i had a slavegirl apply
this process
to a few pages of shaw.
took her A YEAR
gernika: mircea_popescu: I find
that if I follow your hints, I can understand more of each of your posts. 1. Research all references not understood. 2. Read multiple
times. 3. Get better at reading by learning what words actually mean (that is, learning
the etymology of each).
mircea_popescu: (who, incidentally, only does movies if she's raped in
them, for some reason. perhaps with
the exception of
that one where she kills herself at dinner with her ex.)
mircea_popescu: and irreversible is of course
that atrocious production with
the 10 minute bellucci rape scene.
mircea_popescu: now who
the fuck could hav efigured
that out. i gotta make more footnotes.
mircea_popescu: i specifically meant rengaine as a reference
to "Quand je m'endors bercée par une rengaine j'suis soudain réveillée par des cris"
mircea_popescu: holy shit how could
that make any sense
to anyone other
than me ?
mircea_popescu: mircea popescu
The white hierarchy supporting society collapsed ? How does
the French underground go from rengaine
to "Irreversible" ? WW2. Most of
the better Frenchmen got shot.
mircea_popescu: decimation A more interesting question is: how does 'black music' go from Louis Armstrong
to
thug rap in 50 years?
mircea_popescu: and so i
tried
to read
that
thing with
the eyes of a stranger
mats_cd03: wow, scribd is even worse
than before
undata: strange, I didn't expect
to see
that around here
undata: danielpbarron: you just wanted
to shout "bible is right!" eh?
BingoBoingo: One step forward,
two steps back with
these coinfire people.
gernika: danielpbarron: What are
the criteria for something
to be an intermediate species? How long does something have
to have been around and how large does
the population have
to be for it
to be classified as such? Seems like for populations
that were at no
time higher
than
the hundreds of
thousands it would be very unlikely
to expect
to find fossils. Google
tells me
the peak population of neanderthals
undata: As far as *why*
there aren't intermediate species left,
there are plenty of possible answers. One of
them might be
that early human populations were into cracking competing skulls
undata: danielpbarron:
the bible can be wrong all on its own,
though science can help
gernika: mircea_popescu: Calle Florida. Got it.
Thanks.
danielpbarron: how convenient,
the intermediate species don't exist... but
the Bible is still wrong because science!
gernika: Anyone who has
travelled
to Buenos Aires have some recommendations for getting pesos once
there? I assume
the airport kiosks are
total ripoff.
mircea_popescu: dude
this playboy interview is one of
the stupidest
things i ever read.
mircea_popescu: it's a worhtwhile argument
that
the only reason blacks aren't chimps is
that some middle links died off ?!
mircea_popescu: ve chimpanzees none. But I
think it’s a worthwhile argument."
mircea_popescu: "DAWKINS: No, never. But suppose an intermediate species hadn’t gone extinct. Suppose relict populations are discovered in
the African jungle. In order
to deny chimpanzees rights, you would have
to set up apartheid-like courts
to decide whether
this individual counts as human. Because it’s a continuum. As a practical matter,
the intermediates haven’t survived, so it’s possible
to give humans basic rights and gi
BingoBoingo: But... can only
trust
the pravda so much. Prolly from when Obama's great grandfather was sent on a secret mission
to assasinate
the great reptillian
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, it's why we needed a qntra
to serve as
the billboard next
to
the city's gates. Gotta put indictments somewhere.
nubbins`: boston, seattle, annapolis on
the hunt already ;p
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo omfg check
this out, pravda lying about what
the un said.
nubbins`: if any of you live in major metropolitan centres in north america and want something in return for your
time, pm me
nubbins`: so apparently
the paper
that we're using for
the book covers is being discontinued
assbot: BtcAlpha.com F.MPIF
Tracker estimated NAV per share: 0.00021745 B (Total: 475.53 B). Delta: 0.52 B. Last
trade for F.MPIF on MPEX was at 0.000195 BTC [-]
gribble: diana_coman was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 7 weeks, 5 days, 6 hours, 54 minutes, and 28 seconds ago: <diana_coman> I'm
to blame for Sweete__ being here, since he pm-ed me about
trading and I asked him why wasn't he in here if he was a
trader
rithm: obv you'd want
to run your own block source and clustered hashing for failover purposes
rithm: just means
they have a lot of miners mining away
rithm: but iff all
they have is a bunch of miners
that doesn't imply new coin generation or a pool
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I dunno much other
than
they seem
to ship something.
rithm: new coin generation not something
to be obscured
though,
that's for sure for a mining op, huge red flag
rithm: generation address pretty easy
to prove for a mining op
mircea_popescu: 5ph = ~ 10k antiminers.
they never made
that many did
they ?
cazalla: 28k bitcoin yet can't point out a single block
they've mined
cazalla: "single Bitmain order
to GAW worth 5 petahashes per second." <<< he
twisted
this as
their latest order, it was
their first because hey, gotta scam
the funds first
BingoBoingo: Well, note
that
they express reservation on
the point where GAW never showed
them any "virgin" coinbase
transactions
mircea_popescu: "In investigating
these claims, BitBeat viewed a bitcoin address at Blockchain.info
that was cryptographically proven
to belong
to GAW and in which almost 28,000 bitcoins"
rithm: something like
that
BingoBoingo: Happens, dunno how much news square can be
though. Aren't
they
the derpy
tablet dongle company?
rithm: apparently circle has something called circle red,
they've just emailed people, and
the checkout allows bitcoin
rithm: and scooped
the bitcoin world
mircea_popescu: anyway, i need someone
to go
there and bring me a coupla affiliate managers.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I'm closer
than alf further
than vulpes
mircea_popescu: anyway, who here wants
to go
to
the next porn conference ?
mircea_popescu: i'm sure anyone who cares enough could as well have folloed
the gpg sig ?
adlai: too late, it's
there alongside robby
cazalla: don't go putting my name in
the logs lol
mircea_popescu: the small players always benefit more from
the big players
than
the reverse.
mircea_popescu: also kinda why any kind of non-regressive
taxation is bullshit.
cazalla: ;;later
tell davout fixed formatting, you should be able
to verify now,
ty for headsup
