mod6: Anyway, we all know that I'm not very clued on this stuff, but I don'
t see how your records say you sent '6.56190000' to me, and my deedbot wallet ledger shows '6.21445021'.
echelon: yeah, but most pirates just ripped from a tv tuner anyway, so i don'
t think it had much effect
mircea_popescu: what the fuck is a forensic watermark anyway ? don'
t you have to have the watermarks ~before~ you can "forensic" ?
mircea_popescu: not really so much wanting to "transform" anything other than the misfortunate situation where the system doesn'
t seem to recognize their mental picture of their own station. in the sense that why does it see them so low!!!
mircea_popescu: nanotube is the dood that was going to fix gribble to work with deedbot, then didn'
t. used to have some clout, then a little clout, by today indistinguishable from w/e last months; crop of wanna-bes, fluffypony, josh garza, whatever.
mircea_popescu: the reason you can'
t up yourself is that nobody here cares about the people who rated you there (indeed, some are known scammers, some are entirely unknown nobodies etc).
a111: Logged on 2018-11-01 17:44 asciilifeform: i had to algebraize the thing , and have just the right rng bits flip in head , to get the 'ceiling tiles' ( why didn'
t mircea_popescu get'em in '15 ? )
mircea_popescu: and this does not apply to teaching bois math because ? math also won'
t fix the underlying problem that resulted in their having to learn how to think properly in the first place.
mircea_popescu: if you're willing to teach bois math, why aren'
t you willing to sew girls a new coat.
mircea_popescu: you wanna fix the brains that are, or replace them with some other brains that aren'
t ?
mircea_popescu: well in practice i havent ; in theory i dunno, cuz we're believers in the human spirit and haven'
t yet turned down someone because he's black or whatever ?
mircea_popescu: the body ain'
t linear, a certain % works one way then... exactly.
mircea_popescu: there's subtle differences chicken farmers notice and anyone else doesn'
t re sickly chickens.
mircea_popescu: kinda interesting premise for a short, someone starts a drying clinic ~for memories~. "yes mr x, we understand you haven'
t been drinking for years... but your memories of a decade ago still need wringing out!"
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: i certainly will on both points, although not tonight. i don'
t see sticking subscriptions into a db as a particularly difficult thing at all.
phf: right, because upstream doesn'
t have it either
phf: ivory is basically part of symbolics's digital age, and i don'
t know of the existence of e.g. somebody's home folder that you just need to but on the right machine, and you can bring up the "rebuild the ivory from first principles" workspace
phf: i had a point in my head, until i realized that it doesn'
t resolve to anything concrete when it comes to a pile of IMG_123123.JPG, have to go one by one
phf: it lives in the "miscellaneous symbols" block (like the other symbols i use for annotation), which has been in unicode since '93. there are more appropriate symbols in higher planes, but they either don'
t render, or have forced emoji equivalents, or render differently on different systems, etc. etc.
BingoBoingo: There is a national library and the different Facultads have libraries, but the general "Public Library" as pushed in Anglostan by Carnegie doesn'
t seem to exist here
BingoBoingo: Anyways Dick Cheney can'
t assume he's not going to be arrested if he goes to certain other countries either.
mircea_popescu: so then how months i don'
t get it, you mean the other coin from yest ?
BingoBoingo: (Provided you didn'
t eat the 500 USD of liquidity too recently)
a111: Logged on 2018-11-13 19:19 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you don'
t understand how useless the anglos are. do you know that in ALL OF CHICAGO 100% of the "bitcoin market" consists of this one inept fed ?
Mocky: i would have been ok too, I moved the money. wouldn'
t have cried over a burned bank acct. but after a month I thought I was good
Mocky: so anyway, i would totally do burma. but I have such a mess here of my own making that I couldn'
t even afford to feed myself burmese rice while there, much less lodging. So what then, go completely on mircea_popescu's dime? is that really desirable?
Mocky: my opinion changed about asians. I chatted with a bunch of actually cute asians. and it wasn'
t even like, "weeks in this female wasteland and now asians are starting to look good." That was the africans.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-16 14:31 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you're naive if you think "asic resistant" will break "chinese monopoly". you don'
t like that, get someone else to make some chips.
Mocky: one beautiful thing I notices was that old busy bodies can'
t even give you a dirty look when their face has to be covered.
mircea_popescu: i don'
t think i appeared ~that~ fierce. i just think they were polite. ~everything i hear of qatar strikes me with an overpowering scent of what in teh old world was called nouveau riche.
mircea_popescu: i can'
t find it now, but im pretty sure i recounted this tale of me + chet climbing in wrong (girls-only) car in cairo subway. made the girls giddy, but the ~dudes~ in the other cars nearly threw a riot.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you're naive if you think "asic resistant" will break "chinese monopoly". you don'
t like that, get someone else to make some chips.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: it wasn'
t urgent, but what do you mean not serious. i am seriouse guise.
Mocky: but didn'
t realize that was serious
Mocky: seems less like proof and more like testimony of "i looked hard but didn'
t find"
Mocky: I don'
t feel bad about it, or regret or anything like that. I'm happy with the whole thing. It just doesn'
t appear to me as success.
mircea_popescu: "don'
t come telling me there's no even prime numbers larger than my mother!!! COME BACK WHEN YOU FOUND SOME!!!"
mircea_popescu: now, at ~that~ juncture, would you say the matter will be adjudicated as "damn you idiots, qatar tried and nobody fucking helped" or as "damn you qatar, fucking idiot, people tried you just won'
t fucking listen" ?
mircea_popescu: so they're looking into what qatar's been doing with itself, and the discussion isn'
t going all that well, at which juncture qatar says "fuck you guise, we were ~at least trying~ and nobody would fucking help!"
Mocky: over there, every day was like a new out-of-comfort-zone experience and all the work involved asking "wtf should I best be doing right now?" It was exciting even though I don'
t see success along any dimension except personal learning.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-15 16:40 trinque: if the thing doesn'
t confirm back to you that the !!pay happened, didn'
t Mocky: but those who were draped in black, covering the eyes as well with some see-thru black cloth: i never got used to that, always felt disconcerting and I don'
t know why. not like its that much different
Mocky: being in qatar where so many things were different.. I never really missed home, but once I got back everything felt so familiar all of a sudden. I don'
t really know how to explain it.
mircea_popescu: "oh, cuz then you can'
t have ACCESS CONTROLS!!!" "oh ?" "so we won'
t implement those, either" "ah i see. and which is the store where they don'
t have fish again ?"
mircea_popescu: cuz we don'
t have the manpower to write ~general purpose fs~. we don'
t even have the manpower to write fucking ~narrow purpose fs~, for lack of the manpower to fucking read patches before we mis-add numbers!
mircea_popescu: i am not saying very specific applications (such as bitcoin, due to blocks being b locks) can'
t benefit from purpose made fs. nor am i saying the extant ~fs~ are defensible and not an atrocity against sense and taste.
diana_coman: I can'
t begin to imagine what was the design idea there "oh, ALL does not mean categories because you might want to just re-categorize all your writing" or what
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Workflow thing. I don'
t keep a constant ssh tunnel into the server, but if there's a button of the constantly open wpdashboard which shits db for my local machine Imma hit that button at least daily.
mircea_popescu: pdf can'
t "own" bits anymore than wikipedia can. if i drop a can of tuna in dogshit, it;s not now "dogshit brand tuna"
a111: Logged on 2018-11-15 15:35 mircea_popescu: by all means. the republic is eternal ; children are like ducklings, one day they
http://trilema.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/best-in-the-world-13-560x373.jpg then you blink and they're 3 lbs being thrown into the pond. come back when you're mocky's age, you can have a lengthy history of java you daren'
t admit to the self you regret and you can go to burma or w/e.
Mocky: mircea_popescu, you were going to get a reminder from me tomorrow if it hadn'
t gone thru by then.
trinque: if the thing doesn'

t ☟︎ trinque: mod6: I don'
t mean to thump on you further, but you've gotta be the least selfish guy sitting here. I encourage you to look out for #1 a bit more. we need a sharp, rich, powerful mod6, not one running himself ragged piously.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i think he just doesn'
t like schoolkids << Mostly this
BingoBoingo: Anyways mod6 if you can'
t hit up the expocannabis next month, the beach doesn'
t expire. You just don'
t have to share it with the Bralisero school break crowd.
BingoBoingo: <mod6> mircea_popescu: I can'
t take any time off of salt-mine, or at least, not the kind of time that I would need to drop all and head down to BBstan. Used my time for this year, already. << After January 15th the amount of ear confusing Portuguese drops substantially, and the beaches are still here
mod6: I just don'
t want to use that many coins on it, today.
mircea_popescu: sick burn. but srsly, i don'
t have a problem with you using it any way you ~think~ best. but the catch is, i fucking want you to think! not just autopilot into it.
mod6: I don'
t think it'll buy back youth -- just the time and space to never have to go back to the mines. To be able to use my time as best as mircea_popescu sees fit.
mircea_popescu: mod6 i don'
t think the coins will ever buy back our youths.
a111: Logged on 2015-02-28 23:51 mircea_popescu: you ain'
t bought a license to kill bookies, and today i ain'
t sellin' any.
mircea_popescu: but, asthe saying goes, you gotta drop a hand when you know it can'
t win, not when you figure you can afford to lose "your" "share" of the pot. (note -- pot is NOT SHARED, and it only has an owner AFTER, never before. there's no suchj thing as pot equity, fundamentally and necessarily, which is because man-things are anti-woman-"ideas").
mircea_popescu stopped going to work altogether cca 2003, even though it was not really "work" in the sense modern zek imagines, and even though "you can have your office wherever you want, yes we'll call any of your girls to find out what cafebar that is today" and so on. and it was as fucking difficult a decision for me as for anyone ever, because "we need you" and "this shit won'
t work without you" (duh) and so on and so forth.
mod6: Need the fiat. Someday, when we're at the right levels, I won'
t need to do any of that. But today isn'
t that day, sadly.
mod6: Anyway, the thoughts from the last week are basically that, I want to work on some things, but I just don'
t have the capacity any longer, or the same passion that I once had.
mod6: I've been trying to stay off of here, as much as I can turn my attention away, this week. But repeated admonishments for my life choices doesn'
t help anything.
mod6: mircea_popescu: I can'
t take any time off of salt-mine, or at least, not the kind of time that I would need to drop all and head down to BBstan. Used my time for this year, already.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-11 13:33 mircea_popescu: the "sad" news, from this perspective (though it is boldly and fundamentally the exact opposite of sad) is that no, there isn'
t any "return to the grand old days" on the table. ~emphatically~ not. bitcoin ain'
t going back to spending a summer at 2 dollars a coin ; and consequentlly you're not going back to being the mod6 of 2013 on ten hours a week and lukewarm committment.
mircea_popescu: i still don'
t know what you dislike about it, other than it's continued existence per se.
BingoBoingo: Consider Phuctor is a sorta bespoke thing. DB software architect can'
t antipate a Phuctor and how its filled. On the other hand most mysql installs power wordpress.
