mircea_popescu: not like you go to the boss and say, hey, it just dawned on me, you're so much smarter than me. thank you for taking the time to be my boss.
mircea_popescu: and if anyone else does, whay! THAT ASSHOLE! THAT BROWNNOSE.
mircea_popescu: well... in this context censorship is merely the enforcing of the obligation of coherence.
mircea_popescu: suddenly you have a society in which censorship is not at all absurd, but quite logically sound and flowing from what the people do.
B007: the boss is not always smarter
B007: but what if you want to keep the job
decimation: so the boss has a right to ensure the slaves are in order
mircea_popescu: you don't want to keep the job where he a) isn't smarter and b) can't cope.
mircea_popescu: decimation more like, it's your duty to live in a sane world.
decimation: in the case where you are in an insane job situation, for example, it would be your duty to leave

mircea_popescu: B007 of interest re the boss being smarter always or not, see the mp 50-50 rule, too.

mircea_popescu: This exceptionally cold and snowy winter has shown that government climate scientists were dead wrong when it came to predicting just how cold this winter would be, while the 197-year old Farmers’ Almanac predicted this winter would be “bitterly cold”.
benkay: i'm going to go ahead and guess they're both kinda just stochastically wrong
greenspan_fan: stochastically? climate science makes bad predictions due to overfitting
greenspan_fan: "With four parameters I can fit an elephant, and with five I can make him wiggle his trunk" -- Abraham Lincoln
benkay: wrong with a beautifully normal distribution on some wrongness axis
mircea_popescu: they overfit to all hell, which is the bane of noobs and politicos in science.
Vexual: i agree check your barometer and your atns
benkay: not really buying that an almanac is more accurate
greenspan_fan: if climate change worries you, looking at the reports they don't really publicize that some places stand to benefit
greenspan_fan: I'd take it more seriously if all the people involved were buying up russian and canadian farmland
benkay: eh not terribly worried about the downside. i know it's pretty bad.
Vexual: why no aussie greenspan_fan?
benkay: gotta drain the tundra, greenspan_fan.
benkay: it's not simply farmable as is.
greenspan_fan: Vexual: ozone depletion, so you get (more) cancer w/ your tan? I haven't looked at it in years though
Vexual: china is buying our arable land like theres no tommorrow
jurov: benkay you need water, not just soil
benkay: mircea_popescu i was going to bring up water table problems but just freeze a berm around your mining works el oh el oh el
mircea_popescu: im not a geologist employed by a venture fund trying to buy siberian lands, so what do i care about the water table et all.
mircea_popescu: obviously some places will be better and others worse, but we're discussing the birdseye view here
mircea_popescu: it'll drain somewhere. you don't really want to buy the riverbed, i guess, but if you disperse your ownership you gotta average out ok.
benkay: i don't really expect accuracy on predictions of the behavior of a really complex multidimensional set of oscillators and dampers (see: planetary processes of weather etc) with totally unknown coupling from a set of modelers whose heads gotta be up they asses much less a book from a ways back
mircea_popescu: benkay the book is better, strictly because it doesn't have the tools to overfit with.
greenspan_fan: well, the book looks at far less data, and perhaps those parameters are better selected
mircea_popescu: greenspan_fan nah, they simply don't know math. that's their saving grace.
Vexual: overfitting is imaining where the diamonds are without sighting them?
benkay: intimately. i did a spot of modeling when building a wafer host for a wager probing mfgr.
greenspan_fan: I'm doing some modelling too, but it's mostly catalogue work for sears
mircea_popescu: not knowing you can do complex poly fitting means you'll just draw a line through the datapoints
benkay: okay out of curiosity, on what bases were the authors of this almanac predicting?
mircea_popescu: i think you underestimate the majorly powerful computer natural language is.
mircea_popescu: you perhaps imagine mankind hasn't been using computers before the numeric machines. this would be false.
benkay: i operate from the basis that we're just chemical machines.
greenspan_fan: additionally, all the fancy numerical methods we use are older than the farmer's almanac, or close to
mircea_popescu: let's say that we are chemical machines which fit a very primitive lua.
benkay: cognition, layered abstractions.
mircea_popescu: much like bitcoin is running on supercomputers but basically oding some very primitive scripting.
mircea_popescu: so a bunch of derps cca 1700 who are desperately aware of farming, cause their life depends on it

mircea_popescu: it's not either very good or very fixable (or actionable, scientifically)
mircea_popescu: but it IS a better fit than the modern climate science.
greenspan_fan: you quantify something (albeit abstractly, like "cold winter" or "windy previous season" or whatever)
mircea_popescu: greenspan_fan that's the beauty of natural language vs math.
benkay: oh man but this system has a horrible problem
greenspan_fan: hence abstractly; then you can form causal relationships between your observations
benkay: which is that most people have just totally fucked substrates for running these operations
mircea_popescu: that's why it takles 197 fucking years to even compute anything usable.
greenspan_fan: additionally, people reinforce their belief on correct predictions and the people who are bad at thinking in terms of a-->b tend to starve vs. write almanacks

mircea_popescu: and a whole slew of things such as group selection, and marginalisation, etc
mircea_popescu: all flow from trying to keep the machine as sharp as possible.
greenspan_fan: what is cool is that there's all these (possibly apocryphal) stories about how, say, the inuit have 47 different words for snow
mircea_popescu: that's why the scapegoat is NOT a "horrible crime" in a 1700s culture, but quite fucking required, sane and reasonable.
greenspan_fan: why would you need so many words? because these are the features that you use to interpret your environment, and sometimes survival means knowing light, wet snow from permafrost
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [PETA] 15 @ 0.07001 = 1.0502 BTC [+]
benkay: there being a relationship between abstraction power of words and the number of maintained in brain on mental horsepower.

mircea_popescu: benkay the original argument against teaching the plebs to write.
benkay: hah i get it fills their brains with ideas they can't handle
mircea_popescu: the original argument against moving away from latin service in church. "what and lose all that abstraction power ?!?!"
mircea_popescu: benkay no. "it will take more than they can carry to teach them what we mean by all the words"
mircea_popescu: "they'll fuck up the values of our variables and break all the code"
benkay: does latin have significant abstraction power?
benkay: also what are your favorite languages?
mircea_popescu: in the sense that at the time french didn't exist latin had been used continuously by millions for millenia
benkay: what's your ranking of them by power of expression?
mircea_popescu: there's no such power of expression function that can be discussed over the set.
benkay: sure and all programming languages are turing equivalent so why bother
greenspan_fan: I'd put english, then lisp, then latin, but that's probably by order of familiarity

greenspan_fan: have you read Jaynes' "The origin of consciousness in the breakdown of the bicameral mind"? it's kinda on point in that regard
greenspan_fan: and no, so all my variables are "alpha" or "epsilon", which is frankly depressing
benkay: mircea_popescu: what did you think of the Jaynes book?
greenspan_fan: it's more something that you read about for the ideas, rather than because it's a complete and fleshed out theory
benkay: on an entirely unrelated topic
benkay: this waffling about the legality of bitcoin by places thailand etc are just going to delay its recognition as a thing by the big institutions
greenspan_fan: more time to perfect the algorithm vs. faster adoption?
mircea_popescu: take the great plague. what difference does the church pronouncement against a great plague, or for it, or about it
greenspan_fan: if you tell all the churchgoers to stay indoors it might make a difference
greenspan_fan: and sometimes, the people it forces to stay indoors invent calculus
mircea_popescu: sure. lawsky will probably invent a whole new way of fucking women in your office
mircea_popescu: one thing that always shocked me about soviet aparatchicks was how horribly bad their suits were.
mircea_popescu: today what shocks me about the soviet aparatchicks is how horribly uncomfortable their stuff is.
jurov: benkay, define recognition
jurov: they will try to ban it? tax it? how?
mircea_popescu: jurov you going to go for a "what they think they see is not what is there thus no recognition could have taken place" ?
jurov: yes, i'm interested wha exactly benkay thinks he sees
benkay: i'm working on training my first!
benkay: hands off the servers i promise
greenspan_fan: what's bizarre to me is how everyone in that AMA was pretty much begging for regulation
greenspan_fan: but it's this unquestioning faith that the best policy is to always shoehorn everything into whatever the prevailing paradigm was
benkay: eventually the bag bursts
mircea_popescu: if she finds a new type of berries, you really expect her to run home and come back with a new type of berry bag ?
greenspan_fan: it's more like, if you went picking berries and wandered upon a mcdonalds
greenspan_fan: yes, you can store cheeseburgers in the same bag, but you could also just use the drivethru
greenspan_fan: (before the analogies diverge too much) the problem is is that it completely misses the point about how there's now a fundamentally different way of acquiring food
greenspan_fan: because that is a universe I would like to live in
benkay: hey Vexual hit me with some old dub
benkay: 50's if you got it, if it exists
mircea_popescu: greenspan_fan so then act that way don't expect that way :D
greenspan_fan: mircea_popescu it's not something that you can do just on your own, though
mircea_popescu: not missing the point is not something you can do on your own ?
greenspan_fan: if there's a big enough push, the government can/will step in, regulate everything they can regulate and exterminate everything else
greenspan_fan: it's a marginal risk w/r/t bitcoin, but jeez, one wishes everyone could just get w/ the program w/o all these false steps
greenspan_fan: he (and his suspiciously low desk) aren't on your side. They might not be against you, but it's still not a great idea to do your best to hand over control to the first guy with a title and incipient back problems who comes along
greenspan_fan: as you point out those people are typically sub 0.1 btc holders
mircea_popescu: dude five minutes ago we were in perfect agreement on complex math stuff, now i have no idea even what you're on about.
greenspan_fan: A1: The government has, at varying levels of cost, options to subvert/ruin the valuable aspects of bitcoin
greenspan_fan: A2: the government responds to popular will, to some degree
greenspan_fan: A3: The folks on reddit constitute a reasonable sample of the voting public, from which "popular will" is derived
Vexual: bc was invented for government fail, not to solve it
greenspan_fan: doing so, since I went to the trouble of using colons and everything
greenspan_fan: P1 (A2, A3): The support on reddit indicates there's some popular demand for government regulation of bitcoin
Vexual: where do we go from here?
greenspan_fan: P2 (P1, A1): There's a good chance of government regulation/interference occuring, which, depending on the effort involved, could lead to subversion of the valuable aspects of bitcoin
chetty_: reddit twerps count as popular demand? now I know I fell down the rabbit hole
benkay: something with some soul
jurov: subversion of the valuable aspects of bitcoin << what should i imagine here?
mircea_popescu: greenspan_fan your axiomatic system is incomplete. the redditards live off the govt dole. since the govt can not create value out of thin air, you're missing an a4
mircea_popescu: describing the people the govt actually extracts value from to give to a3.
greenspan_fan: I don't even really know how the us economy functions, but it does, after a fashion
greenspan_fan: so I think it's fair to say that it has some ability to execute on A1
greenspan_fan: consider that part of the "dole", in the form of pandering
greenspan_fan: that really should be A4, to be honest; it's kinda weird how I thought that was pre-axiomatic... :(
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell mike_c here's the actual data : since jan 1st mpoe bot has quoted 7192 times, for a total book exposure of 62930 minutes, = ~43.7 days (out of 51.4) so like 85%. of these in turn 7 (so like 90%) have been since the 14th, ie since the signal divergence.
mircea_popescu: so now... the people whose livelihood depends on government do see it as on their side. it is.
mircea_popescu: they also do expect it to continue making their lives possible, as it has in the past.
mircea_popescu: now, on these reasonable expectations you posit that the government can somehow take the shine out of metal for their benefit ?

greenspan_fan: bitcoin's an idea, and to quote abraham lincoln once again, "there's nothing that can stop an idea whose time has come"
mircea_popescu: more importantly : your average kid on reddit could not survive if i teleported him to a random place on earth.
mircea_popescu: but merely that of course he expects it is no ground to say of course it can be done.
greenspan_fan: so I wish these people would just get with the program and not invite the apparatchiks (I think that's also the model of his desk? from ikea, maybe?) to mess things up
mircea_popescu: of course children expect to be the kings of creation. so what of it ?
mircea_popescu: greenspan_fan but a) they're not inviting him anywhere, because wherever they are so is he already
greenspan_fan: I think we're mainly in disagreement w/r/t whether or not they'd be able to meaningfully intervene
greenspan_fan: if I had the resources of the us govt, and I wanted to wreck bitcoin at all costs, I'd start w/ outlawing its use for payment, and impose penalties for anyone in my jurisdiction who has a bitcoin wallet
greenspan_fan: then I'd move on to technical subversion, which might mean dedicating supercomputers to attack the blockchain, or just ddos/hack any of the major players
mircea_popescu: not that you couldn't have run, achilles, but that you neglected the turtle.
jurov: greenspan_fan: there are much more cost effective options, and they are deployed right now
greenspan_fan: mircea_popescu I think we're a year or two out before the hash rate reaches escape velocity
greenspan_fan: for far less than a billion I could commission enough asics to make the network mine, for all intents and purposes
mircea_popescu: ok so. they spent a trillion "Dollars", but those trillion dollars could not have bought a trillion one dollar ringdings
mircea_popescu: the people who can make asics are ALREADY doing it, on their own account
mircea_popescu: this is exactly the trap VCs in their own mind struggle with atm.
mircea_popescu: their bitcoin being, of course, dollars, we couldn't, of course, care less.
greenspan_fan: as long as you spend it before the ponzi implodes you're in the clear, no?
mircea_popescu: you're desperate to spend it, and the people you need to do things aren't desperate to get it.
jurov: greenspan_fan: you imagine tsmc can and will reject all orders for 2 month or so just cause usg drops a billion?

mircea_popescu: they'd hire some people who wouldn't be spilling their beans each year.
greenspan_fan: if you model leaks as a poisson process, they're actually pretty air-tight
greenspan_fan: plus, you're assuming that technical talent doesn't respond to things like patriotism
mircea_popescu: greenspan_fan technical talent DOES respond to patriotism much more than to money.
greenspan_fan: a few posters of rosie the solderer and voila, you've got your asics
mircea_popescu: and your shitty empire trying to infiltrate it will pay through the teeth for no results at all.
greenspan_fan: as a (possibly out of date) counter example, I could point to the manhattan project
greenspan_fan: thousands of supremely bright, capable people, managed by the army, built an atomic bomb in like three years
mircea_popescu: you know this was a majorly discussed topic recently hiar.
mircea_popescu: anyway : back then the most serene republica veneta was the us. much in the sense of how back then the bitcoin of the world was the usd.
jurov: greenspan_fan: anyway, what you suggest is *not* about building something, but the exact opposite
mircea_popescu: thigns have changed. we have a real republic and a real bitcoin now, which leaves the us back among its peers.
mircea_popescu: jurov here's the funny thing on top of it : if the us actually DID try to build something, like a superadvanced asic design ? we'd get it for free in the next leak bundle.
mircea_popescu: and we'd use it better than them, so overal... thanks for the fishes.
greenspan_fan: just that my preference would be to avoid the struggle
mircea_popescu: "life is on the wire. everything else's just waiting."
Vexual: todays fish is trout a la creme
greenspan_fan: I just don't really see an upside to tedious interference by lansky et. al.
jurov: not seeing an upside is different thing than
jurov: "subversion of the valuable aspects of bitcoin"
greenspan_fan: by valuable aspects I meant things like consistent network performance, ease of exchange, ease of adoption
mircea_popescu: bitcoin has terrible overhead and it is without a doubt the klunkiest, most ineffectual way to transmit payments ever devised
jurov: lol, like some fb derp wrote just hour ago that mtgox failure is "damaging bitcoin philosophy"

davout: i think an e-mail MPEX-like API would be good
davout: i don't have a definitive answer
davout: maybe i'll end up using them if i can make sure nothing sensitive goes thru
davout: imma replace bitcoin addresses displayed on the website by gpg-signed e-mail receipts for example
jurov: you can show gpg signed output in browser, too
jurov: pity there isn't a plugin that can verify it, tho

davout: jurov: the problem with showing the GPG data in browser is that said data would be generated asynchronously
jurov: you need to generate deposit addy asynchronously?
davout: the GPG-signature and address generation can't happen on the web facing servers
davout: that protects you against a compromised server too
davout: because if you work from the assumption that no frontend/app server will ever be compromised you're in for a world of pain
davout: the best way to design security is IMHO to consider that you're already compromised, at least to some extent
jurov: it can still happen elsewhere
jurov: asynchronicity by itself will not help you against frontend compromise
davout: asynchronicity is merely a consequence of "the frontend doesn't know shit about where the sensitive server is"
jurov: i don't think it's absolutely necessary consequence
jurov: it's sufficient if the sensitive server has minimal interface exposed to frontend and does not implicitly trust it
jurov: it cen even be behind proxies like mpex does and still can be pretty responsive
jurov: but what i want to discuss, if we all can force users to install gpg browser plugin
jurov: and use it to auth to the service and verify sensitive data it got back
jurov: i don't believe anything more is achievable while providing srvice to chumps
jurov: they can then easily migrate to using cardano
jurov: all that is actually needed is to have ability to save to file/load from file

nubbins`: dealing with this client who runs a hot yoga studio
nubbins`: she said she'd be by last night at 7:30 to pick up her order
nubbins`: i waited til 9:45, unil "sorry i forgot!"
nubbins`: today: "i'll pick them up at 2pm". 2:45: "i'll be there soon." 3:00: "can i pick them up at 4?"
nubbins`: because hey, everyone is a robot but her and she's the only person whose time is valuable
nubbins`: if she's not here by 4:00pm exactly, i am literally not answering the door when she arrives
nubbins`: she wanted organic racerback-style tank tops. such a thing does not exist. the closest we could find was tanks with 6.25% organic cotton
nubbins`: so instead of getting regular cotton tanks shipped from the next province over, we order 6.25% organic tanks shipped from the exact opposide end of the continent
nubbins`: idly considered buying regular cotton tank tops and sewing a 1" organic cotton seam on the bottom
nubbins`: round it up to an even 10% organic
nubbins`: honestly, given the choice between being "eco-friendly" and giving the appearance of it while being the opposite
nubbins`: people almost invariably choose the appearance
ThickAsThieves: just rip all tags out always and imprint your own branding
nubbins`: have idly considered this, but sizing
nubbins`: next thing you've got 4 screens, one for each size S-XL
nubbins`: might do it anyway tho, we use these nice shirts now that have easy-tear tags
nubbins`: country of origin and care instructions are mandatory
nubbins`: not sure about materials, but probably
nubbins`: some brands have two tags: a brand tag and a care/materials tag

dub: both yoga instructors I've had were a bit chunky, havent done bikram though
kakobrekla: did you do yoga or did you do the instructors?
dub: i did an aerobics instructor if that helps
KRS-One: she must have had a nice bod
greenspan_fan: it's funny, because I was thinking of using a supercomputer to mine dogecoin, but decided not to because the idea was idiotic on many levels
KRS-One: When the hell is he getting back here with my porn
KRS-One: all u have to do is write some gay malware
greenspan_fan: It's not for me. I've seen that movie w/ keanu reeves. I don't even know kung fu.

mircea_popescu: @Mircea_Popescu This is like saying "behind every nigger is stupidity" @ligayaya "Behind every troll is pain." Community wisdom @nrrrdcore #PassionProjects
mircea_popescu: @ligayaya @Mircea_Popescu @nrrrdcore actually, I don't think it is. at all.
mircea_popescu: @Mircea_Popescu @ligayaya @nrrrdcore Of course you don't think so. Oppressors honestly think they're just being nice.
mircea_popescu: we had a number of segfaults which were ironed out, curious if yours is a new brand or some edge case.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it was such a problem where i lived by 1992ish i was able to spot it with diskedit

wao-ender: I had it on radar like in september or so, but I'm not that social-freak
wao-ender: yeah, taking social credit for that
mircea_popescu: if you ask him, max keiser leads groups doing bitcoin stuff.
wao-ender: paying in followers on tweeters. "look what I've done"

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's this craig woods character which became kate, and had been running all sorts of projects and whatnot
mircea_popescu: (l conway is actually quoted by name as the reason i can't quite declare transsexualism out of this world, in my article about transsexualism)
