the
time.
benkay: i hate
these four-hour-fuckers
benkay: bah it pains me
to give amazon money
benkay: and not
the 'berkshire hathaway letters'?
benkay: so
those are
the 'buffet partnership letters'
benkay: "There are undoubtedly more mercurially-tempered people in
the stock market now
than for a good many years, and
the duration of
their stay will be limited
to how long
they
think profits can be made quickly and effortlessly."
mike_c: interesting.
those aren't
the B/H letters, but
those look good
too.

mike_c: interesting because
the early years are him digging his way out of his first mistakes (buying a
textile company)
benkay: ebook stretches back
to 1965?
mike_c: somebody prolly has
them posted somewhere if you look around.
mike_c: 1965 - 76 aren't online, but
the ebook is only $3.
benkay: 3000 words, once per year.
that's a pace i could sustain...
benkay: skimpy logs. mike_c i'm
taking a page out of your book and reading berkshire letters over coffee...
jurov: he
typed "viki" into google and automatically clicked first result
jurov: i was explaining
to him whatvV "wiki" is
jurov: i succeeded making my boss

benkay: i'm just messing with you, jurov. i've never actually succeeded in piping hookers over
the internet.
dignork: benkay: for me it resolves
to 54.247.173.21, no whores, only siren. what am i doing wrong?
benkay: no man i swear
there's something weird in
the dns
jurov: benkay you
tend
to
think
the siren is a whore?
benkay: dunno jurov, every
time i go
to pull up coinbr...prostitutes.
Apocalyptic: <dignork> also it's funny
to call a "leak" something
that is published on
their site in specs :) // gotta attract
the audience
fluffypony: well I'm
trying
to lose weight, but I suppose you could call me a round
dignork: also it's funny
to call a "leak" something
that is published on
their site in specs :)
dignork: it doesn't have BB,
there is an ARM chip embedded on
the main board
nubbins`: ;;later
tell bitcoinpete you're on your own with physical litecoins :(
nubbins`: bitcoinpete is having a hard
time figuring out a few
things
gribble: Sent 2 weeks, 1 day, 23 hours, and 30 minutes ago: <bitcoinpete> have a couple of
the lealana physical coins (2x10, 2x25) but i'm having a hard
time figuring out what
they're worth. could you point me in
the right direction?

nubbins`: so which of you has been leaving ;;later
tells for "nubbins" and "nubbins`i"
FabianB: mircea_popescu:
the file is encrypted for you, can you reencrypt it with my key?
mircea_popescu: <daybyter> any java coder here interested in
trading code? << whoa just like
the old days!
daybyter: any java coder here interested in
trading code?
assbot: Now is
Time,
tomorrow IS glory = IPO people
assbot: MPEx,
the Bitcoin securities exchange.
jurov: today is IPO,
tomorrow is glory
mircea_popescu: check
this shit out, otherthan luke and peter
todd, nobody in my bitcoin wot is in
the pgp strong set
pankkake: and it is in
the strong set. I guess I could get in
there by signing
the old key in
the other direction
pankkake: perhaps I could let other anonymouses I met IRL sign me, but how do
they check I am myself?!
assbot: PGP
trust paths : Mircea Popescu -> Luke Dashjr
pankkake: if you're on
the website,
then you're on
the strong set
mircea_popescu: basically
the wot here enforces strong setness by default
mircea_popescu: "The strong set is
the largest set of keys such
that for any
two keys in
the set,
there is a path from one
to
the other."
☟︎ pankkake: how do you
tell if you're in
the strong set?
mircea_popescu: "We are asking for information
that proves unlawful or corrupt conduct by
the US government,
the New Zealand government, spy agencies, law enforcement and Hollywood"

joesmoe: i was
thinking about heading down
there about 6 months ago before all
the china stuff blrew up
joesmoe: was more interested in
the conversation you were having
the other day about south america
joesmoe: nah i just wanted
to join in
the convo
mircea_popescu: punkman: it only ever outputs "lol"
though << must be only simulating
the left brain
mircea_popescu: lol ok i'll stfu with namworld's 1800s ideas about
the brain, jurov handed him his ass pretty admirably :D
mircea_popescu: Namworld Because let's face it 1.
The brain is mechanical << you know what else lets-face-it-is-mechanical ?
the fucking atom.
mircea_popescu: Namworld: fluffypony,
the real world doesn't care about reality. << more like
the reverse. reality doesn't care for whatever set you happen
to have mislabeled as "the real world". probably a selection of
terminally unemployable couch surfing webexperts.
mircea_popescu: let's not blame
the wrong gal for people's brains
turning
to shit.
mircea_popescu: this is how england worked, back when it was still a respectable country, up until
the socialist revolution of
the 80s. << lol if only margie
t. heard you << "During her premiership
Thatcher had
the second-lowest average approval rating, at 40 percent, of any post-war Prime Minister. "
mircea_popescu: Namworld: What kind of checks can
they run at all anyway? Dox people? Seems limited
to
that. << if
they don't know why are
they pretending
to be in business ? "oh, doctors should diagnose people not feed
them random pills" "what diagnose can
they do anyway"
mircea_popescu: so was
this a kinda lame attempt at social engineering or what.
gribble: littlep1 was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 18 hours, 9 minutes, and 26 seconds ago: <Littlep1> he sent me an email about
the corporate failures list
threatening
to sue me

kakobrekla: jurov just giving credit where
the credit is due.
Namworld: So goodnight everyone, I'll go before I spout out
too much more nonsense.
Namworld: It's 5:50 am, I need sleep, and I'm vastly out of
topic for
this channel I
think, mostly rambling and
talking
to myself.
Namworld: But enough distant future hypothetical scenarios, it's not like it has any usefulness, other
than maybe entertaining oneself.
Namworld: I'm sure if you could simulate
the whole of
the system running your 100-byte asm programs, you'd be able
to determine when it would eventually finish.
punkman: it only ever outputs "lol"
though
Namworld: It's a very small amount of matter compared
to
the universe. I'd assume we can refine
technology close enough
to simulate it accurately, or almost, given
the resources out
there.
jurov: even most 100-byte asm programs can't be determined whether
they'll eventually finish and how
Namworld: Well I'd be a bit surprised, but yes.
That's always possible.
Namworld: Which is even worse.... when it comes
to finances, we have experience of what works and doesn't, what's good signs and doesn't, and guesstimating
jurov: what if brain activity gets proven
to be incomputable?
Namworld: Well, I guess, but
to predict
that accurately, wouldn't I need
to accurately simulate all brains in
the world, including
the Earth and all stellar input
that affect
those brains?
Namworld: We'll probably have brain control chips before we can get outside
the solar system, assuming we're not wiped out by some cataclysmic event first.
jurov: that falls under laws of physics,
too :D
jurov: tell me, what will mpoe
trade for next month?
jurov: well..
that's such positivist statment
Namworld: Unlike other
things like wormholes and FTL
through space compression, which are not yet falling within certain laws of physics and aren't
thought
to be likely.
The conditions needed
to make
that happen are huge and uncertain.
Namworld: But given
the
time
to get
the
tools
to do it, it's not unrealistic. It falls under
the current known laws of physics.
