mircea_popescu: part of
the effort is me aspiring
to divinity, evidently, but part is exactly
that curiosity.
mircea_popescu: phf some chick was like "oh, i expect it's a game of numbers" and i was like "nope. i
talk
to everyone. statistics is not related
to plenitudes."
phf: asciilifeform: i imagine mp casts a wide net, but it's
the "doms"
that provide most luls
mircea_popescu: what do you propose,
that if
tomorrow cow starts calling itself astronauts ima desist ribeye ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you realise, nothing a 20something yo female has
to say is meaningful.
phf: is humor, see, ivan,
they
think center of earth, but really asshole of america
phf: boise? where's
that?
mircea_popescu: because
that's what fucking happens ;
the potato-plenty has resulted in potato-jaws on potato-skulls.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i recently described "last
tango in paris" as "some chick gets raped by a potato".
mircea_popescu: because
THIS is what it fucking is, you understand me ? 100% no exceptiopns
this. "25F domme" ==== usgtarded "scientist" ; and "hermeneutics,
that european branch" === "boise, is where ima find my life, and
the ummin and
thurin stones
the angel of morons left behind for me"
mircea_popescu: LordMPofTMSR 37M Master In fucken boise ?! Aaaalright,
there's silly,
then
there's dumb,
then
there's
this, not even sure what
to call it. Boise, I guess. Have a great one.
mircea_popescu: d consider having as my mentor at an actual event in person. Anything else is extra. Otherwise, you can reread my profile. I'm not
to be
tamed and I am not
taking in any submissives.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: unsolicited 25F Domme "Do you find
this pompous bullshit approach ever delivers anything ?" Ha. Back at ya. People can read into words with whatever
tone or inflection
they'd care
to imagine. If you
think I have
to
try at all, you're mistaken. I have minimal information on my profile coupled with few photos and I'm already getting new notifications and messages daily. I'm more
than happy
to wait
to organically meet someone I'
mircea_popescu: LordMPofTMSR 37M Master Do you find
this pompous busllhit approach ever delivers anything ?
mircea_popescu: unsolicited 25F Domme "How about you drop whate..." Is all your subject line shows
to me. From glancing at your profile, I assume it was a half ass attempt
to order me
to do or not do something. Either way, you bore me. Yawn.
mircea_popescu: his article examines
the contributions of hermeneutics
to
the human sciences."
mircea_popescu: "Hermeneutics, a branch of continental European philosophy concerned with human understanding and
the interpretation of written
texts, offers insights
that may contribute
to
the understanding of meaning,
translation, architectures for natural language understanding, and even
to
the methods suitable for scientific inquiry in AI. After briefly reviewing
the historical development of hermeneutics as a method of interpretation,
t phf: "Hermeneutics: From
Textual Explication
to Computer Understanding?"

to excavate
the warez, pg1 says it all
phf: correct approach is of course common lisp's readtable, but i don't
think LiSP covers
that
mircea_popescu: push
this here button labeled "inkey$" for your eyes only, meatsack.
mircea_popescu remembers
the good old days when parsing was done ~by
the keyboard~, as in
the z80 basic.
phf: but if he's following along with
the book
the result should be sufficiently morphable
phf: i don't
think LiSP even covers gc until much later

that are often subtle and a matter of
taste, but as long as
the overal approach is informed now might be a good
time
to paste what you have.
mod6: asciilifeform: yeah, we kinda laid
that
to rest a while back.
mod6: I've been able
to build out
the rpc calls without all kinds of crazy class changes
to
the rest of
the code,
thus far at least.
mod6: No worries.
This all stems from
the failed back-port.
mod6: Ah, no. After
the educational dive and I have something
that works, could
take
that knowledge and implement it differently perhaps.
a111: Logged on 2018-06-21 18:57 spyked: asciilifeform, yes, found w4rez. and used it as reference. and
the lisp evaluator works on simple programs (implemented most higher-order functions in it), but
the code is organized like crap. and I'm not sure I made
the correct cut between "builtin procedures" and e.g. keywords such as "lambda".
mod6: I did
the others, and sendrawtransaction last year. Getting closer
to a point where I can at least
test and see where it stands.
mod6: The rawtx stuff I've been working on, just is with
the old rpc interface. It's going alright, btw, working
through
the signrawtransaction part. It's a bit hairy.
a111: Logged on 2018-06-21 16:13 mircea_popescu: phf
there were
takers, mod6 working on rawtx recall ?
a111: Logged on 2013-04-04 19:43 asciilifeform: and virtually nobody appears
to be
the least bit interested in my (or anyone else's) ideas for cutting
the fiat world out of
the loop (I suggested product delivery via dead drops, flying machines, other crackpot nuttery)
a111: Logged on 2013-04-04 19:17 asciilifeform: consider a hardware widget
that receives a single-use CC number (for $X) from a hypothetical BTC-enabled bank and writes it
to a blank physical ATM card, when you send
the bank $X equiv. of BTC.
mircea_popescu: anyway, whatever, it's
the best
they can do because it's what
they need
to believe
to continue in
the vein of idiocy and so on. whatevs,
they really are
their own adequate punishments.
mircea_popescu: yes
tyvm, scholastical geometry ftw. much productive line of
thought.
mircea_popescu: the whole bumbling edifice of
them, "oh, moron idiotssen's ~~~contribution~~~
to mathematics is pointing out
that spheres are perfect figures"
mircea_popescu: his history | grep returned no direct matches and
that's it, because he has had a
terminal open since
the dawn of philosophy and also his regexp magically sees
through indirection.
mircea_popescu: this moron literally DID NOT KNOW
the position is not even novel, stupid as it may be.
mircea_popescu: in any case, it's
the necessary collision of
that whole process when it finally loses historicity, and "something new" is "inept bullshit smoked by schoolchildren nine centuries ago"

a111: Logged on 2014-02-13 01:04 asciilifeform: incidentally, if
the avaricious idiots move everybody
to RFID cards sans crypto challenge/response (as appears
to be
the plan) - every ATM becomes a btc-ATM.
mircea_popescu: it's been
the laughingstock of people in
the field for years.
mircea_popescu: though i would propose you do not spend 40 bucks for
those 13 pages.
mircea_popescu: since we're doing "ancient
trilemas apparently nobody read", i guess could also add
http://trilema.com/2012/advertising-on-digitalpoint/ (which'd have been
the natural comparison point
to
the "digitalpoint advertising report" i'm guessing absolutely is not getting done, unless i put it on hanbot's plate or something. blergh.)
mircea_popescu: leaving aside
the quite obvious question of why would one even entertain a wanna-be bitcoin
thing
that's uppity enough
to not be here in
the first place.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: to put it shortly, one line here is ~infinity%
the advertising any such item can produce for you.
they have 0 base.
hanbot: re "they'll argue both" -- i'm sure, i don't expect
to get an answer out of *them* lol
a111: Logged on 2018-06-21 22:35 ben_vulpes: hanbot: did you only cover debit cards in "state of
the cards" and not gift cards because buying gift cards with btc is a
terrible idea for some reason?

that fucking movie. first, i was pissed off none of
the characters were capable of saying ~anything~ of substance about [finance,
trading, anything-at-all],
then i realized it's an accurate portrayal. still not sure if
the
thing's deliberately honest or all responsible are so clueless
the kitsch was actually supposed
to impress.
mod6: thanks for
the update BingoBoingo
ben_vulpes: who look
to have bounced off
the early republic sometime in 2014
ben_vulpes: same with
the affiliate
thing; 'a-ads'; i know mircea_popescu said
that nobody uses anything but clickbank, but i can't pay 'em in btc and
the amlkyc is
thick over
there as well; so, fifty bucks, see how bad
the results can possibly be
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i'm
thinking about ~50 bucks worth, see if it works as promised
ben_vulpes: incidentally, first btc affiliate program i've found in
the wild, so will probably
throw some change at
them as well
to see what comes of
