Adlai: what's up with logs, have we built the moon cabin yet?
asciilifeform: could be avalanche. could also be marsaglia seeded with phase of the moon.
mircea_popescu: davout yeah seems it's going for the other moon.
Vexual: did i have aplan for some moon or other?
mircea_popescu: it does not work. might as well grab the moon with a tweezer
mircea_popescu: plus if you suck a cock once in a blue moon you'll be popular as all hell.

brendafdez: The first park to use the name was Coney Island's second major amusement park, designed by Frederic Thompson and Elmer "Skip" Dundy and opened in 1903. They named the park after the spaceship in their Pan-American Exposition ride "A Trip to the Moon".[1][2]
brendafdez: Vexual in a way it does refer to the moon. From derpipedia: Luna Park is a name shared by dozens of currently operating and defunct amusement parks that have opened on every continent except Antarctica since 1903.
mircea_popescu: obv, fake title will be constructed by convention, but hey. not unlike saying "the moon belongs to X"
asciilifeform: PeterL: someone suggested bribery & shills before. it doesn't work, because my use pattern is 'grep at 3am when moon is full'
Adlai: dogecoin rallied after they added css3 moon rocket upvote animations
assbot: What if /hashtag/bitcoin?src=hash price goes up during a down moon cycle? /BitcoinBravo /hashtag/moon?src=hash /hashtag/parabolic?src=hash
danielpbarron: the guy was trying to convince me that the price was effect by the moon
mircea_popescu: doge.moon sounds pretty apt.
mircea_popescu: hey, has doge registered the .moon tld yet ?
decimation: re: 'what do they do: http://acrossdifficultcountry.blogspot.com/2009/05/far-out-space-nuts.html < related “The Americans have gone to the moon. And the Russians. The Chinese and Indians will go there soon. Africans are the only ones who are stuck here,” Museveni said, addressing a meeting of the Uganda Law Society in Entebbe.“We must also go there and say: ‘What are you people doing up here?’”
chetty: right? left? too the moon might as well be. right and left don't make sense anymore
[]bot: Bet created: "Qntra to the moon" http://bitbet.us/bet/1127/
asciilifeform: the politics of cyc etc. aside, such projects are about as interesting as the historical proposals to go to the moon in balloons, shooting men from cannons, etc.
asciilifeform: i specifically assign the failure of each and every attempt to date with the notion that you can get to the moon by piling chairs.
trinque: king says I want a moon base
assbot: Logged on 27-02-2015 01:31:56; asciilifeform: i think of the folks who might have tried to go to the moon in balloons, or shooting selves out of cannons, in the past
asciilifeform: i think of the folks who might have tried to go to the moon in balloons, or shooting selves out of cannons, in the past ☟︎
asciilifeform: i'm actually the only person i know who keeps an apple box 'for testing xxxx on apple once in a blue moon' without sitting on it all the time
asciilifeform: hence the david moon anecdote.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: reference counting... [david moon tale] ...but sure, it'd be great if it worked << there are quite a few systems which used reference-counting in garbage collector (other than in the demented c++ and apple systems, it is generally used in a garbage collector to determine 'what's garbage?'.) appears in, e.g., wolfram's 'mathematica.' down side: cannot have circular data structures.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony: Frankly, handing off to a reference counting system <<< "One day a student came to Moon and said: I understand how to make a better garbage collector. We must keep a reference count of the pointers to each cons. Moon patiently told the student the following story: One day a student came to Moon and said: I understand how to make a better garbage collector..."
pete_dushenski: i'll keep using your moon nazi example because it's so darned useful here: trust isn't complete, but limited to one domain
pete_dushenski: one that could end the way it did for the moon nazis
thestringpuller: pete_dushenski: Well, US harbored Nazi scientists for moon program or what not.
asciilifeform: fail when moon is full ?
pete_dus_: "mebbe if the price won't go to the moon, block size can!"
asciilifeform: 'yes we reached the moon, who said we weren't talking about that one [points to moon painted on ceiling of mental institution]'
asciilifeform: now the next phase of moon-chair-stacking, that nix may or may not have yet entered, is to decide that the turd they have created and are doomed to dine on is in fact a sausage, and to lash out angrily at folks pointing out the actual facts
asciilifeform: NixOS << if idiots want to keep trying to 'fly' to the moon by stacking chairs, let them.
hanbot: <mircea_popescu> it's this particular concoction of the forcible solipsism of crusoe with the narcissism of a fifteen year old boy that grew up alone among cows, with the desperation of a dying beggar on the dark side of the moon. << ahahaha best review evar
mircea_popescu: it's this particular concoction of the forcible solipsism of crusoe with the narcissism of a fifteen year old boy that grew up alone among cows, with the desperation of a dying beggar on the dark side of the moon.
mircea_popescu: "bring me five poounds of moon cheese!"
asciilifeform: ~= 'think of this sinking titanic as increasing potential! when it hits the bottom of the sea, it will inevitably bounce up, with such strength that it will fly to the moon !111!'
mircea_popescu: anyway, still great article, hitting the mark. qntra can only go to moon from here.
BingoBoingo: That's a fucking tiny moon http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--_upL2BKv--/c_fit,fl_progressive,q_80,w_636/qjkzwgw6gytdeocsxxod.gif
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's funny just how self-contradictory the guy is, and how carefully crafted his pile, and how incredibly unstable in spite of all that effort. reading his lengthy posts is sort-of like admiring someone who managed to build a half mile tall chair pile in his quest to get to the moon on chairs.
decimation: yeah that's a good point, the heirarchy is too busy running actual business - it doesn't have time to prance around and promise the moon to the sans-culottes
Apocalyptic: jurov, well reddit wants moon, I guess they got it
BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: Seems to be an especially strong week for drama. I anticipate Moon.
davout: 1/0 is an alias for $MOON
davout: to the moon woohoo
RagnarDanneskjol: re molokization of deedbot v2.0 - no idea what you're talkin about? has nothing to do with me. also don't recall pestering anyone here ever..once in a blue moon I will ask questions in pm if I'm not authed/voiced.
mircea_popescu: i hope hje's partenering with kenna to start a moon printing program
BingoBoingo: Well. Working on getting this one right considering it may be applicable to my own plan to escape the moon by stacking chairs.
asciilifeform: when the moon is just waning.
mircea_popescu: so basically doge v2.0, because the fucktards must have a "moon rocket".
decimation: kakobrekla: bounce off the moon << yeah, radio hams do this, but the antenna farm required to make it work is quite large
kakobrekla: well, you can also bounce it off the moon on the way to dc.
undata: there's both a bootstrapping problem there as well as a finger-vs-moon thing
mats_cd03: 01:14:25 <+BingoBoingo> Such flat, BTC made it to the moon, but got stuck in the sea of tranquility << makes me happy, tbh
BingoBoingo: Such flat, BTC made it to the moon, but got stuck in the sea of tranquility
mircea_popescu: "Then, God be bless'd, it is the blessed sun: but sun it is not, when you say it is not; and the moon changes even as your mind. What you will have it named, even that it is; and so it shall be so for Katharina."
mircea_popescu: "Does it have money or financial mental associations, or even slight links, for example, Luckycoin is for luck, that is necessary to become rich, Mooncoin means Moon, and the Moon drives ocean waters and financial flows (as assumed in financial astrology) plus ‘to the moon’ means also price growing process… And MEOW, or BBQ coins have no these associations at all)."
adlai: "I think the dark side of the moon is worth 100 dead kids" - maher
mircea_popescu: "most people report sun and moon visibly the same size to naked eye"
mircea_popescu: and yes, one of the many different reasons bayesianism is little more than "a cult of ai without moon or minsky aka stupid"
cazalla: ah never mind, went to moon soon after
BingoBoingo: Oh, the recipient is simply the moon.
kakobrekla: well yeah if you can burn a hole in the universe you can prolly flash to moon
BingoBoingo: kakobrekla: Prolly can encode BTC transactions in Baudot and send to the moon with lasers
kakobrekla: if its going to the moon you need lazers or dunno space elevator
BingoBoingo: So we need BTC to hit the moon already so we can roll our own transoceanic fiber.
decimation: asciilifeform: there's a good example of the 'art v. science' re: moon program here: http://eb-misfit.blogspot.com/2013/10/relighting-saturn-vs-f-1-rocket-engine.html?showComment=1381683061332#c1607749688683256926 "There were single welds on the engine that took all day to weld, by hand, and there were thousands of such welds. The engineers working on the new F1 copy say that theirs has less than 1/10th the parts of the original F1
asciilifeform: e often than you might think. ... ... Space enthusiasts say, 'If we can put a man on the moon, why can't we put a man on the moon?' "The answer, Simberg explains, is that we can't "because most of the people who did it are in their dotage or dead, and a lot of it was more art than science."'
undata: "gravity" holds the moon to the earth
xanthyos: if it crashes, my purchase goes through, if it goes to the moon, coinbase will cancel the transaction
BingoBoingo: Well, new meme clogging Derpistan seems to be "Forget the moon, we caught a comet"
asciilifeform vaguely recalls a flight of fancy calculation of how much 'tidal plant' it would take to... yank the moon from orbit
asciilifeform: on the moon, perhaps a piece of fine roquefort cheese exists.
mircea_popescu: they believe things more akin to "the moon is made of cheeze" and "jews did nyc"
mircea_popescu: but bothered the turtle, because it could no longer see the light of the soon or the moon, or the stars.
decimation: interestingly, it uses "AJ-26" engines, which were 'commercially purchased' by usg from... the soviet moon program
undata: in the same way that me jumping jiggles the moon
mircea_popescu: (and for that matter, it IS quite fucking possible for the current, fixed e implementation to spit out badly coded stuff every once in a blue moon, when the p q happen to be a multiple of 65537)
undata: mircea_popescu | mike_c only thing going to the moon is undata. << maybe I'll luck out and Elon's overcompensating
bounce: The Moon is Waxing Crescent (1% of Full)
mircea_popescu: mike_c only thing going to the moon is undata.
mike_c: listen you pack of elitist fucks, bitcoin is for the masses and dogecoin is going back to the moon.
assbot: The Boswell Sisters - Stop the sun, stop the moon (1932).wmv - YouTube
assbot: Jackdaws love my big sphinx of quartz - Book Review: Empire of the Summer Moon
BingoBoingo: Just needs to work long enough to pass "hello Wor[melts]" kind of like reverse moon probe
bounce: well, they work a lot better than trying to go to the moon your way
mircea_popescu: bounce sure. you can also go to the moon by pulling on your underwear
mircea_popescu: also a project. there's no shortage of projects, it's not like you can either pick "go to moon" or nothing.
mircea_popescu: to say "by the end of the decade - man on moon" is substantially different from "hey, we're spending some moneys on some things"
mircea_popescu: you understand this ? anecdotic agreement by wizard x with wizard y is not how you fly to the moon.
asciilifeform: fly to the moon by stacking chairs, yes.
asciilifeform: moon, incidentally, is trivial in comparison.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform btw, know the moon painting joke ?
mircea_popescu: if they had, the soviets would still be a thing, painting the moon red
