phf: typically people recommend http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/ and it's a sort of "rails for beginners" kind of book, but i think best cl option is http://www.norvig.com/paip.html. norvig's paradigms of artificial intelligence programming. it's not so much about "ai", but about some very useful symbolic algorithms, written in ~very elegant~ lisp code
asciilifeform: incidentally if this were me, i'd make a voyage-only wot key, rate it +1, then at the end, when getting back to home, sign statement 'my voyage key was uneventfully used N times and then incinerated' or 'pygmies stole my voyage key K and signed audacious forgeries F1, F2...' depending on how it went. ☟︎☟︎
phf: 2 hours of battery is a bit sad, but i'm not planning on "working from a coffee shop" either
phf: yeah, i'm just building a typing laptop. probably going to take it to india with me instead of main machine. can't really afford getting it stolen, and don't want to bother with proper compartmentalization
asciilifeform: but i also can't recommend a better, all else equal, lappy.
asciilifeform: phf: i'm not a raving fan of the x60 -- can barely stand looking at the tft lcd.
asciilifeform: somewhere in the l0gz, i told this tale.
trinque: I don't buy it
phf: i feel like you talked about the patch before, what does it do?
asciilifeform: so to salvage it, i did the above.
asciilifeform: originally i bought that box to try the rms thing.
phf: ooh a patched on.. i take it you hand patched it, rather than compile from some leaked source?
asciilifeform: (did i post this ??)
asciilifeform: i might
jurov: or by liguriochemical sensing (i.e. licking)
asciilifeform: i shit thee not.
mircea_popescu: i'm also vaguely curious which 2nd rate herp is going to, in a decade or two, "innovatively" write down "his" ideas about the new novel and the future of authorship.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno ; i suspect poys die with their hymen intact in that universe
asciilifeform: quite possibly. other one requires coprocessor that i didn't come from the factory with, i suspect, to appreciate properly
mircea_popescu: even so, i'd be surprised if you get with less than 0.1% cutting induced blind spots
Framedragger: (iirc i had suggested elena (2011) but iirc it's of a similar colour palette hmh)
mircea_popescu: Framedragger either you recommended that or someone else did. i tried to watch the thing, kicked it out within ~10 minutes.
asciilifeform: ic reversers sweat over cauldrons of hot acids, fiddle with ion beams, etc. but: one thing i've always wondered re subj is whether anybody's tried... microtome! then you dun care how many layers there are, and of what. just blast away the edge, and scan THAT! a few 100 atoms at a time.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski in the end, i wrote a continuation to hanbot 's thing.
trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-11#1600846 << not hard; I'll keep that in mind when rewriting the component that does it ☝︎
Framedragger: ahh. i need to read more. will check later...
mircea_popescu: pretty sure i did that entire series.
Framedragger: also, i wonder what you'd make of paraconsistent logic and if you'd like to write an article on it at some future point
Framedragger: anything related in topic/matter to http://trilema.com/2014/peri-metaphyseos-in-english-this-time/ ? (i don't have anything particular in mind, just a vague suggestion-of-direction)
mircea_popescu: sooo, i feel like translating ; anyone has a trilema piece they've been wanting in english ?
mircea_popescu: i c.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-10 02:39 phf: i once read grothendieck's récoltes et semailles, which is a kind of an autobiography
ben_vulpes: http://logs.bvulpes.com/chainstate?d=2017-1-11#749 << i'm going to have to start laying down timestamps in my logthing to highlight this shit but ftr: 07:42:12, 07:43:34, 07:43:38
ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-11#1601355 << ty, i like it as well ☝︎
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: i think ima keep it as is. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Holmes&defid=6348806
ben_vulpes: i had nfi what joy could be had watching people play with a toy you made out of two tin cans and a string
davout: currently catching up on logs, i r entertained
deedbot: http://phuctor.nosuchlabs.com/gpgkey/878B97A91FA5E05957E79B41A01FE1CDBAC9532B924013ECCE1BFD9374EC21F1 << Recent Phuctorings. - Phuctored: 1775...7879 divides RSA Moduli belonging to '147.102.194.34 (ssh-rsa key from 147.102.194.34 (13-14 June 2016 extraction) for Phuctor import.

mircea_popescu: but the solution of course would be, i'll register a key for it and have it speak the !!v string.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes im more like contemplating the nonsense situation i unwittingly created.
asciilifeform: the one 'republican ic' i would immediately put into production if i had a fab, is the humble antifuse rom !
mod6: i see phuctor is slayin'
mircea_popescu: no spanish speaker has ever done any work. i don't think EVER, but certainly not in the past century.
asciilifeform: somehow i did not previously notice the mass of mail.*
mircea_popescu: cuz i knew some rather unruly czechs.
asciilifeform: lel, smalltime winblowz payware, i thought these died out...
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah it's chiefly why i'm not saying anything. let the log be awash today and let it be done with
mircea_popescu: i tend to evaluate very loosely. "best possible construction".
asciilifeform: phf, ben_vulpes : actually i did harbor a suspicion that it was... ben_vulpes's eliza!
phf: aying. first of all, you don't use setup question technique unless you have standing, it's at least partially rhetorical. second of all, when you do, you don't drag it out. i dismissed him at that point as a tedious bore, which he turned out to be
mircea_popescu: "i thought i grown out of 16yo cunt, until i saw another one"
ben_vulpes: you know asciilifeform i thought i'd grown out of it until aquentson showed up
asciilifeform: (i posted, iirc, all of mine)
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: you oughta post'em, i bet they were a riot
ben_vulpes: but i suspect you are.
ben_vulpes: hey just because i never trumpeted my viragh logs
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: actually i cheated, the idiot shat in kako's chan first and was thrown out, i was tuned in
ben_vulpes: yeah well some days i just feel like fucking with one part of the edifice instead of the whole thing
mircea_popescu: i'm actually against any sex legislation. this includes "prostitution", "rape", "age of consent", "marriage", what have you.
mircea_popescu: phf my bad for the 2nd, i upped him through having merely parsed the log to a point where he somehow managed to sum > 0.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I'm sated.
BingoBoingo: as far back as 2013 ben_vulpes and I duelled over who get to get the most playtime with the food that comes in here.
BingoBoingo: phf: My bad. I have a bad habit of playing with the food.
mircea_popescu: i would guess a full 50% of people behind a wheel are SO BAD that modern progresstech like "if car is shocked, break" is actually very useful. even if this means you could throw pebbles at a car and keep it locked forever.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski your case isn't even the most egregious. i ever tell you about the idiot that drove straight into us, from a full stop, backwards ? his car, much wiser than him, braked and so there was no damage.
aquentson: I mean thats even before gox
aquentson: BingoBoingo, I'm very dissapointed
aquentson: but my retord is I would not be here otherwise
BingoBoingo: aquentson: I want to know what it's like writing for the enemy, CCN promoter of scams!
aquentson: dude I can do it for about 15 dollars
aquentson: what did mircea_popescu say? I have 1 million bitcoins!
BingoBoingo: I though CCN was all about Bitcoin to Africa
aquentson: sorry, I'm too harsh
aquentson: I doubt in your, what, 7 year history now, you've hosted anyone more interested to be persuaded
aquentson: I thought you guys were interesting
aquentson: I haz no wisdom
aquentson: I am merely a lowly man
aquentson: omg how can I provide an answer
mircea_popescu: i thought lisp makes ai possible and bugs impossible.
phf: Framedragger: yeah, it shouldn't be picking up post transition b-a posts. i don't have any kind of proxy or anything
mircea_popescu: ahahaha ok. yeh, i'm sure "all here" will do things!
mircea_popescu: aquentson once they manage to win an election, i might believe that. so far -- no hillary. so, no.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes basically it directly transates to a very racist "i am great roman citizen and you are barbarian have these beads". wtf, really ?
ben_vulpes: imagine all the rubbish history books i can't be arsed to read
aquentson: what am I, a bot, to read all trillion words here and quadrillion other shit
aquentson: then maybe you appreciate I have a restriction on my time too?
aquentson: I'm interested in today
mircea_popescu: i don't get it, who isn't open to persuasion ?
aquentson: im not gone read rubbish, I asked a question, give an answer
mircea_popescu: i think the notification's kinda cool, though prolly not for here.
mircea_popescu: i'm easily satisfied. prolly because i don't take so much cock, so.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-10 22:07 aquentson: can I gain some sort of understanding regarding the position of you guys on scalability?
BingoBoingo: !~later tell aquentson What are your feelings on scaling the human body to store more energy? https://i.sli.mg/G6PHhl.png
phf: oh a journalist. ffs "hello, i'm such and such, would like to ask you all some questions for such and such magazine"
ben_vulpes: i demand a refund
phf: well, i'm kind of curious where he was going with that "do you believe in free market" leading question. guy, you don't open like that unless you have a standing, nobody's going to wait for you to do your cornering move, if you can't even fucking stay on point
trinque: pls I just need moneys for my public relations degree
ben_vulpes: and i'm not here for retarded questions.
aquentson: do you think what I defined as the free market is good or not
aquentson: I'm not here to persuade
