Adlai: emphasis on "might", didn't help to point out that the boiler basically works 24/7 and still doesn't keep up
asciilifeform: and there isn't really a good effort they could make to demonstrate a desire to avoid those
asciilifeform: jurov: follow the logic. they don't care if there is a sea burial going on underneath, or a shipwreck with skeletons
Adlai: there's a sub-race (seriously, they consider themselves a separate tribe-within-the-tribe) who are not allowed to / don't enter cemeteries
asciilifeform: for some reason you don't meet terribly many folks today who won't ride, e.g., an airplane, for this reason
asciilifeform: re: teleporter: there were actually people who refused to travel on steam locomotives because the soul can't keep up and will get lost ☟︎
trinque: if it doesn't for you, who cares?
trinque: whether they are the same to you doesn't matter at all to me
trinque: doesn't matter
Adlai: most people roleplaying at conventions aren't even as 'dissociated' as a good method actor
trinque: but saying that is distinct from saying it doesn't exist
asciilifeform: (while you read this paragraph, it is quite likely that at least one of your neurons died. and wasn't even replaced with a copyable mechanical one, at that. are you 'still you' ? and moreover, do you find the question itself interesting, or the answer being something that matters ?)
asciilifeform: the whole 'copy isn't you' thing is pure unadulterated vitalism, however.
jurov: heh technique. can't get any simpler than trying to describe what comes to mind
Adlai doesn't (yet) see any use to the theory of consciousness beyond discussing it
Adlai: specifically, "Of these four forces, there's one we don't really understand." "Is it the weak force or the strong--" "It's gravity."
jurov: lol "we don't know what is a consciousness? let's say it is composed of many of itself" ☟︎
assbot: Logged on 20-03-2015 23:04:33; jurov: if you don't do fork but just spawn threads? what is self there?
trinque: he can't answer that
trinque: can't grab it with that
jurov: if you don't do fork but just spawn threads? what is self there? ☟︎
trinque: and only to myself, I can't disclose that thing to anyone else
danielpbarron: the thing on the other side would think it is you, but it wouldn't be you
trinque: wasn't a proposal though :p
nubbins`: next you'll tell me that taking anti-anxiety meds won't help resolve deeply-rooted personal issues 8)
nubbins`: enya doesn't have any answers
danielpbarron: i don't need fancy thingys; just the whole NKJV text pocket sized with a zipper so the pages don't get messed up when i travel with it but w/e my KJV works well enough
danielpbarron: i don't understand what i'm looking at
danielpbarron: that also has the "references" B.S. which I don't need -- I'd rather have the NKJV alternate transation footnotes
nubbins`: they don't sell nkjv bibles w/ zippers and leather?
danielpbarron: i'd like more NKJV but they just aren't as widly produced
assbot: Re: Why I can't use Lisp. - Naggum cll archive ... ( http://bit.ly/1BXXJIn )
nubbins`: ...or maybe i just can't be taught it 8)
nubbins`: you can't teach it
danielpbarron: Security people are often the black-and-white kind of people that I can't stand. I think the OpenBSD crowd is a bunch of masturbating monkeys, in that they make such a big deal about concentrating on security to the point where they pretty much admit that nothing else matters to them.
felipelalli: he said they have a "learning machine" to determine the correct interest rate, but it is a joke don't let the free market decide its own rates.
felipelalli: I was trying to convince him that don't let the users choose the interest rate is not a good idea.
nubbins`: "Th is i s how t o c o n v e r t an i s s u e f o r d u pl e x p r i n t i n g ."
danielpbarron: well i don't necessarily want to design one, but if that sounds like something the other qntra writers would want, I'd like a stack of them with my name on it if that's ok
felipelalli: mircea_popescu: Where can I find objective arguments against BTCJam? As a lending service and reputation system? And what are the alternatives for P2P lending or we don't have? They have 113,000 users, should they be ignored? ☟︎
ascii_field recalls learning with alarm as a little boy that there was ever such a thing as a reichsmark. 'couldn't hitler simply order shit done?'
mircea_popescu: imagine your daughter fails exams, now can't go to school. so what, you make her a mini university out of cardboard, and while the other girls to go school
trinque: tsar god can't declare things into existence
ascii_field: then we find out that it doesn't actually need sales for anything
trinque: oh we're fucked; I just don't expect that the men in black are coming for me because I said I like bitcoin
mircea_popescu: i don't think any human population can be stable with lifetimes averages < 30.
ascii_field: (somehow didn't notice that thread..)
Adlai: though the wot isn't exactly your average "nobody over 30"
assbot: Logged on 20-03-2015 19:25:24; felipelalli: Depends on situation. For example: I had to spend some unforeseen money and I didn't want to climb a mountain to get my bitcoins, so I got a loan with a very low interest rate.
assbot: Logged on 03-03-2015 09:14:51; mircea_popescu: i don't think anyone in the wot ever actually starves.
Adlai wouldn't be surprised if not only http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=03-03-2015#1039710 but also it contains a few houses too ☝︎
mircea_popescu: just, you know, everyone thinks they're speshul. but if i were a natl bank governor i wouldn't allow the derps to borrow either.
mircea_popescu: yeah i think you found a problem that can't actually be resolved with currently available tools.
brendafdez: I was trying to see the first messages in the chan by each user. If a user has say 50000 messages, I can't find a way to see the pages with the earliest 45000.
brendafdez: I was searching the logs and couldn't find a way to sort by date ascending. Tried setting the start parameter to a value close to the total number of results, but it won't take values greater than 5000. :( Is there a way to do it?
trinque: if I can't get deedbot, I'll just do it with the dash
ascii_field: zap the predators, zap their prey - we don't need either for anything
jurov: btw i don't get how would such data mining work.. someone would have to collect all the information first
trinque: well, that wasn't the right keybinding
danielpbarron: someone pointed out to me that if i wasn't already a terrorist suspect, buying the reference manual to the language for airplanes isn't going to help that image
felipelalli: danielpbarron: 1) well, you will never know. 2) don't put all your eggs in the same basket.
danielpbarron: i don't doubt your physical hiding abilities
felipelalli: Depends on situation. For example: I had to spend some unforeseen money and I didn't want to climb a mountain to get my bitcoins, so I got a loan with a very low interest rate. ☟︎
ascii_field: then you don't need to borrow, just start with epsilon
danielpbarron: i don't except with very close associates and even then i'd really rather not
felipelalli: danielpbarron: I'm sad. They killed a service that I was using for years. It isn't that good, but...
felipelalli: That's why it is good. Because we don't have better options.
danielpbarron: they aren't in the WoT
ascii_field: if you don't have a machine that can show 'pdf', find one just for this occasion.
trinque: mircea_popescu http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-03-2015#1059635 << which is the manual ? << tried geting rid of that colon by making the bot parse all messages for commands, not just highlights, and making deedbot- the command. didn't work, seems it should. I'm going to poke tenyks' author today to find out what's smart ☝︎
danielpbarron: that is, he's the one guy in here that i didn't know outside of b-a and have met him in person
pete_dushenski: so at the branch, they charge her $xx and then tell her that the statements can't be printed out then and there and have to go to another city for review, then they'll be shipped to the branch, then she'll have to come back and pick them up
pete_dushenski: because of course, they weren't available online
pete_dushenski: and couldn't have been otherwise.
pete_dushenski: cazalla: your opa could've come here just as well and you wouldn't have been necessarily better off
pete_dushenski: australia isn't markedly worse than canada and in many ways preferable.
danielpbarron: it doesn't sound like anyone is using those things for more than a novelty; they aren't even funding the things for fear of depreciating value
davout: obviously it doesn't go in the fridge either
danielpbarron: "If you want to resell them, either include a hologram so that the buyer can generate a new private key or just don't assemble the coin." << what on earth is the point then?
mircea_popescu: i don't do so much frying myself.
mircea_popescu: i don't recall if i ever had macadamia oil or not, either.
cazalla: my missus tries the same shit.. oh i can't remember
cazalla: i can't imagine for a second that even if costco had this sorta food down under, that it would actually be cheaper or better quality
mircea_popescu: cazalla well then you don't need it.
mircea_popescu: cazalla ok, meat comes from butcher, produce from grocer. these you don't buy at the warehouse, as there's really no need to warehouse them. but what about everything else ?
cazalla: i get my meet/veg/fruit from local who supposedly provides australian grown produce (i am not so naive to believe that some scheming fuckers didn't figure out they could import shit from china and just label it grown in australia but what can you do)
cazalla: sure, if you don't mind eating shit shipped in from china
nubbins`: you don't buy food?
nubbins`: isn't this much less circuitous than the original discussion 8)
nubbins`: "wasn't a weapon, whatcha gonna do"
nubbins`: TIL mp doesn't think lazers in yr eyes are bad ;/
cazalla: they tear down anything old and replace it with modern architecture, and what they can't pull down completely, they subert the old by merging the new into it
mircea_popescu: well don't knock it fore you've... uh. you know.
cazalla: geei hope not, can't say ruski women do it for me
cazalla: not sure tbh, we didn't speak for a few years, only recently began talking again
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-03-2015#1059683 << eh get out srsly. it doesn't get any more random and unintentional than that. ☝︎
cazalla: all the 10 inched black boyfriends in the world wouldn't make any difference for some types of women anyway
mircea_popescu: conservatives don't make very good parents for that reason. kinda why nature put all the poop in the process, make sure it gets a fair shot.
cazalla: well i wouldn't know seeing i didn't stick around to find out
mircea_popescu: cazalla doesn't sound like much of a country does it ?
