polarbeard: I don't commute, code can be transfered over the wire :)
mircea_popescu: i don't specifically care. as long as the person seems competent... hey.
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: i'd open a perimutuel bet that nassim who play receiver, but i don't trust betmoooose
assbot: Logged on 13-03-2016 20:51:27; mircea_popescu: anyway, to be perfectly clear, i don't think kakobrekla did anything wrong at any juncture, nor am i privately holding anything against the man. while the outcome is miserable, i dun think there's necessarily much that could have been done to prevent it.

mircea_popescu: and in spite of being uncharacteristically verbose for a human being... apparently i don't write everything either.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo i have nfi what's going on with those two articles. they don't even make sense. << I'll get to cutting
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i have nfi what's going on with those two articles. they don't even make sense.
phf: but i don't have a complete blockchain, and since i'm not using any sql type stuff, i need to look into how much space various hashes take up when loaded into memory
danielpbarron: man it's way easier to prepare qntra articles with my blog draft setup, and if you don't like it i'm already all set to publish it myself :D
phf: ben_vulpes: also dood wtf you stop in the city, swing through powells, and can't go 2 mi out of the way to get your eyes on my fp and mine on yours? << i'm guilty as charged, but it was not intended as a slight, so please don't take it as such. i needed to clear my head, and while i thought i should reach out, i didn't have it in me. this is not the last time i'm in Oregon this year, so i promise to not make the same mistake again :)
mircea_popescu: i don't think you understand what "parse html" means.
mircea_popescu: nice font o.O. who's scws. where's the provably fair link ? why would i play roulette, i don't want to give you 5% or w/e the fuck the edge was. 1% is generous, this is not 1750.
mircea_popescu: i don't get it, who has spare rebar hooks ? what ?
asciilifeform: ~i~ don't get to reverse it !
asciilifeform: anyway i don't do amulets, much as mircea_popescu is convinced of this. i ~might~ entertain laughably inaccurate hypothesis about whatevers, when i have no access (unlike to the inside of a computer) to the priors.
mircea_popescu: that is not a question i can actually answer, i don't know you well enough
gribble: strp was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 1 year, 23 weeks, 0 days, 0 hours, 6 minutes, and 34 seconds ago: <strp> no thanks, thickasthieves. I don't have to justify talking with anyone else I talk with.
jurov: you don't need 100m, i hope
thestringpuller: Pure unsupervised learning I don't think is possible which I guess ascii and I both yearn for...
jurov: I don't like laureate-contining stuff because it's hard to wash off.
asciilifeform: i don't have a proper place for this.
assbot: Logged on 16-02-2014 22:04:18; asciilifeform: they pass an old man who says, 'don't drown this fellow. i'll feed him dumplings, he won't have to do any work but to dip them'
mircea_popescu: then the female drive to reproduce is finally balanced, and i frankly wouldn't care if they want or don't want to get pregnant, make your own choices.
phf: but unlike ascii i don't have any aversion to shit jobs as long as they pay max and take up min time
phf: i don't actually have any reason to stay in dc long term, maybe another few months to a year
asciilifeform: i don't care where.
nubbins`: given that i don't have a turkey-sized gpu
mircea_popescu: i don't care how fucking different they are. typical case will be had or the sky falls.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't see folks PITCHED it either.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if it makes you feel better, i'd buy it for the putative chemistry lab i don't run.
PeterL: I guess I don't see what you would do instead?
mircea_popescu: which i suppose is as good an explanation as any as to why i don't marry : i own my equipment.
PeterL: Okay .... I don't know where you got the idea any equipment borrowing is going on here?
mircea_popescu: i... don't know how to pay.
mircea_popescu: no, which is why i don't hire osen.
mircea_popescu: and i have not to date hired anyone to do anything whatsoever i don't know how to do myself. how would i pay them ?
PeterL: <mircea_popescu> PeterL and if you tell the head manager that this is a miserable abdication from his job - which is to assure you the stuff will work no matter what, he says ? << If the equipment does not work the way it is supposed to, we speak to our contact and he fixes it, I don't see any abdication of job by manager here?
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-03-2016#1429161 << this is actually a very juvenal-ish image. yet i don't recall it as a thing. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-03-2016#1429131 << more complicated than that (for instance - i engage enemy on his strong turf all the time, i just don't engage it on its ~chosen~ turf except for final battle), but in principle sure. ☝︎
thestringpuller: i don't think there are any grants for turning led into gold
trinque: funkenstein_: it makes more sense for you to make your own decisions about which patches you like, and if I don't like it I'm free to alter your patch to suit me
trinque: oh I don't know, learning math?
asciilifeform: PeterL: prolly program ? i don't recall folks having to be paid to ~play~ it?
mircea_popescu: anyway, thanks god for kakobrekla's idea of implementing that calculator on site, otherwise with bets like these that draw loads of noobs (i don't mean to bitrcoin, or to betting, i mean to thinking) we'd have had degrees of magnitude more idiotic spew.
asciilifeform: (YES i appreciate folks testing, cleaning up, etc. ! don't feel sad !)
asciilifeform: but i don't have enough lsd to do that thread again.
mircea_popescu: i don't see the future well enough to judge what chances we have, but i do see the future well enough to see that if you have no horse in a race, you can't win it.
thestringpuller: Turning Planeshift + Crystalspace into Unity is like turning Bitcoin into Visa, so I don't think it should be a job for anyone.
asciilifeform: i don't buy whole computer (other than portables, for restricted uses)
danielpbarron: although without a bitcoin i don't have much interest in computer parts anyway, so that's a catch-22
mircea_popescu: fluffypony tbh i did spend some time thinking about it - then. i don't see how what he was trying to do could have worked. why the everloving would someone here eschew the benefit of the wot and "hire someone to hire" for you ?
asciilifeform: and if not this, then i prolly don't even rightfully apprehend what mircea_popescu had in mind
mircea_popescu: anyway, while we differ on what we color iq-ism in, or what you eventually expect it to do, i don't think there's actual disagreement as to what it does.
mircea_popescu: the general complexity of the cell is perhaps the chief lie of popular conception of biology. "oh yeah, nucleus, cytoplasm, yeah i recall". you recall my left foot. golgi apparatus. a whole set of vacuoles. the nucleus has a membrane in layers. there's dozens of different items in there we don't even fully enumerate - and your understanding isn't good enough to stand for the mithocondria, which, incidentally, also has
thestringpuller: I really don't think you can actually decipher the nature of 'real thought' on current hardware. AI will always be an emulation of the authentic thing.
mircea_popescu: which is what, in any proper sense of the term, "bitcoin" and "crypto" even mean. not fucking pgp as seen by the zimmerman that "oh i don't even have the key anymore"
fluffypony: I generally agree with the "don't be a giant douchenozzle" principle, and as long as employees are operating in any capacity representing one of my companies they don't have permission to be a giant douchenozzle on my behalf (what they do in their own time and of their own volition I don't care about)
adlai: "it's numbers that i don't really understand. it's just really large numbers"
nubbins`: also, if you don't send me address for these shirts, i'm sending them to real nsa w/ your name on box 8)
williamdunne: nubbins`: tbf while using the company wallet might be a bad habit, I don't think its an issue in itself, although reading through the logs it seems everything has gone to shit
PeterL: I don't see one for february
nubbins`: asciilifeform i don't own any MPEx stocks, nor am i shorting any MPEx stocks
nubbins`: i don't mean feb's
asciilifeform: nubbins`: i don't even have a dog in the fight, understand this.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't see how it's not fully torn, but hey, maybe just me.
mircea_popescu: because apparently i don't know how the world works, and haven't properly groked the memo about how "reality is enacted by convention" or somesuch.
mircea_popescu: which is fine - but i also don't and won't entertain any of it.
danielpbarron: i don't agree with the stupid mistake hypothesis either
danielpbarron: PeterL, i've never run a business, i don't know if those things are needed or what
jurov: ben_vulpes: mpex withdrawals don't come into picture, my withdrawals would, if i sent them zerofee
danielpbarron: i don't agree there was any fraud
danielpbarron: jurov, i don't see the relation. shareholders of bbet never had an expection to control what happens with bbet funds
asciilifeform: i don't even own bbet stock
nubbins`: asciilifeform got a link? i don't think he's said anything to me lately
asciilifeform: but i don't recall nubbins` being sad since day1
asciilifeform: because i don't remember seeing his sig on it
asciilifeform: which was, approx., 'i drive the tank and if you don't like how, find another'
nubbins`: here's the straight dope. we all knew from the start that mp doesn't care when he's wrong, he just bulldozes. countless examples exist, i don't care to find them for you. kako agrees that the expense is fraudulent, jurov agrees, many others agree; the only ones who don't agree are you, who seem quite willing to let kako take the hit in order to maintain peace, and hanbot, who obviously doesn't count as an opinion
asciilifeform: i don't have an mpex account; am powerless to move so much as one share of anything; etc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform mircea_popescu found a chip fab between his sofa cushions yet ? << i don't have enough money to outright do this. if i had, i'd be outright doing this.
trinque: nubbins`: been about a year and a month, and I don't have any plans to shut it down
danielpbarron: i can actually did yours for you if you don't feel like figuring it out (it's very simple)
danielpbarron: i don't like you abusing the bots to get around an ignore
mircea_popescu: this is nice, but i don't credit it.
danielpbarron: nubbins`, i'm trying to give you an out to the negative rating i fear i will eventually have to give you, and I don't mean that as a threat, just that at a certain point what you are doing is spamming, and i like to read this log every day and have the power to at least turn the nozzle two clicks towards the off position
nubbins`: i don't think you do get it
danielpbarron: nubbins`, we get it already. I don't think spamming and circumventing other people's ignore help your case..
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform even so, i don't think banning sybil reduces to "unable to talk to white devils".
mircea_popescu: davout i don't mean it as an attack or anything. and the question of exploring the negative is open now and will remain open until spec.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i conduct own 'intel', and yes, i don't have a radiotelescope like mircea_popescu's, only eyes.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i've been thinking about your theory ever since, but i don't credit it asciilifeform. for one thing, it's unstable. seriously, supernode and miniminer ? it'd get torn apart.
mircea_popescu: davout i don't think you take my meaning. the situation that you imagine is, "hey, whatever, summertime and a bunch of us are at the beach". the situation in reality is, "a moroccan clan and some fat frenchies at the beach". guess how likely you are to a) find out the price of dried fruit and b) find out that you aren't finding out the price of dried fruit.
davout: asciilifeform: i don't see how one could conclusively assert that A1 has not been relayed by the node one originally broadcast it to
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform is there anything more than random derp of tenuous association with b-a has a total meltdown when he realises that b-a is not fiat, the republic not a democracy and i don't give a shit about "people themselves" ?
danielpbarron: well i don't masquerade as a finance expert while making my shoes..
nubbins`: i don't know why
nubbins`: i don't think anyone's seriously floating that as a solution
nubbins`: no, i don't
nubbins`: but i don't think this is necessarily alf's position
