mike_c: i notice death sniped the last paid bomb :)
BingoBoingo: mike_c: If ther is anything to learn from the Atc games, bomb sniping is going to be "a thing"
mike_c: recommended strategy: which ever way the house is leaning on the pre-game bets, go the other way.
mike_c: BingoBoingo: yeah, i kind of like that.
mike_c: oh, my strategy? no, just the house has been on the losing side the last couple games.
mike_c: btw, jurov, that mid-line on the history chart what you had in mind?
moiety: i know youve been missing it
BingoBoingo: mike_c: I think giant orange arrows on both sides of the histogram would prolly be least obstructing
mike_c: BingoBoingo: blinking arrows would be better :)
moiety: my ambition in lfe is to have a picture like mircea's pyramids, but with me on a giant manul instead
BingoBoingo: Or breed Manul with various big cats until large enough?
moiety: BB: 2 is more appealing
moiety: imagine having free reigh over mosanto
BingoBoingo: moiety: My concern is that it seems any cat of ridable size is probably going to be person eating. Now if you could get a horse with Manul hair...
moiety: what did yous think of that hand held checmical scanner?

BingoBoingo: I'm just wondering what happens if manul fluff could scale up to arbitrarily large beasts, like rhinocerous, elephant, or Tillikum
moiety: can tillikum really have the fluff and still retain it'[s social standing?
BingoBoingo: I'm more wondering if Tillikum can have fluff and still surface to breathe seeing that Tillikum is Sea World's resident maneater

artifexd: She's 7 months old in that 2 month old picture.

artifexd: Can you believe that the AKC considers a white GSD a defect?
moiety: BB... i disappoint at the @almost@
artifexd: I have no idea. They have some crazy ideas.
moiety: artifexd: the one i grew up with was incredibly nervous. perfect show lines aside from the fear so we got her as a pet. most wonderful creature
artifexd: Look at the bottom of that link. Under disqualifications, "White dogs"
cazalla: i don't know how anyone can have animals in their house tbh
BingoBoingo: moiety: I was going for a walk at about 2 in the morning and some stranger yells "Is this your dog". The dog in question is a brown bull mastiff puppy about 24 inches tall at the withers. Dude has it leashed to his belt says it ran in front of his truck....
moiety: @disqualifications: Any dog that attempts to bite the judge.<< lololololololol
artifexd: Different strokes for different folks. My wife feels the same way. She deals with it though.
moiety: cazalla: what pets do you eat?!
moiety: BingoBoingo: omg that man needs eaten imo
moiety: and not in thwe way he would like
cazalla: moiety: seriously though, rabbits
moiety: cazalla: GASP manuls would leave you bald bfore you had a mouthful!
artifexd: When I was growing up, I had a pet rabbit named Ghost. One day I come home from school and we have soup for lunch. It was different. After dinner I asked what it was. My dad replied "Ghost soup". Sure enough. I had just eaten my pet.
moiety: theres nmillions round here but people just dont eat them anymore
BingoBoingo: moiety: Lol, I considered saying yes that's my dog, but... way too friendly for a bull mastiff. Such a dog allow some stranger to leash it with a belt without a fight.
cazalla: artifexd: i can't wait to pull a similar joke on my son
moiety: BB this makes me so sad though, cus they are just more open to fighing breeding?
artifexd: benkay: Did he give it back to you? My dog likes to run around with the ball (a green soccer ball) for a while before she brings it back.
benkay: 80 pounds of high-efficiency dog engine.
benkay: lol i can't give g a soccer ball - he'd rather destroy it than anything else.
artifexd: Oh, the ball has a 100 punctures in it, but it is still her favorite.
artifexd: Is your dog 80 lbs in the video?
BingoBoingo: moiety: Well, it is a guard dog breed and I have nothing for such a dog to guard, especially while not being so friendly
benkay: this group of hipsters plays dodgeball in the tennis courts you can see behind me in that video every monday, and frequently leave deflated dogeballs behind. rubber sacks the miniature dragon in question would rather rip to shreds than chase.
benkay: he oscillates, as do we all.
benkay: yeah. there's not much by way of hair on the animal.
artifexd: Beautiful. Not a GSD. ;) But still beautiful.
benkay: that volume is all muscle and bone.
moiety: BingoBoingo: yes you do. you.
artifexd: I'm going to Ecuador for a week so I just dropped her off with our trainer to kennel her. I'm feeling a little... I don't know. But she's on my mind. Hence the discussion.
moiety: she will have missed you just as much artifexd :]
artifexd: It'll be the first time she's ever been away from me for more than an hour since she was 8 weeks old.
BingoBoingo: moiety: Maybe? I dunno... Loud dog that grows to that size as an adult, as opposed to one that's still a growing puppy at that size seems more practical to feed
moiety: i think that wiull be the biggest thing for her artifexd ... but she will manage and so will you :] and the cuddles after twill prove it :D

assbot: “Get one just like bitcoin people” in Ossasepia
mircea_popescu: No better test to see text mining fail, it seems, than applying it to irc logs on bitcoin-assets: a careful calibration of state of the art tools yielded only a clear case of “by the time you figure out and implement everything needed to obtain even reasonable results, you surely did the “automated” work at least 5 times if not 10, if not 100.”
mircea_popescu: given the enthusiasm of text mining people << this is the enthusiasm of the doomed - it doesn't reflect anything on the direct avenue, but is merely the nervous laugh of someone who just got cut in half.
chetty: well to mine anything you sort of need to know what you are looking for
mircea_popescu: text mining people are among the few who appreciate the problem of text deluge close to its actual size, which is another way to say they actually know we're surrounded by uncontrolled wildfire. that they pretend like you know, pissing on it works is more the result of their psychological need to fit in with the rest of the crowd, that blisfully ignores the problem, than anything else.
mircea_popescu: in any case the end of civilisation is here simply because we've lost control of text.
mircea_popescu: chetty yeah. it becomes problematic when you provably can't know, yet you still have to. this is a macroproblem of "nobody knows wtf the tax code says"

pankkake: shouldn't common words be excluded? I used to do that to IRC stats
diana_coman: I guess it depends on what you consider common
diana_coman: obviously, excluding some more could make it a bit better, but from what I saw, it doesn't get it too far still
ThickAsThieves: as i read diana's post, it occurs to me how much this channel is like the Howard Stern show
diana_coman: simply because of the fact that the discussions really are pretty much about everything and in all forms and shapes
ThickAsThieves: Stern also had similar standards for guests of the show
diana_coman: ThickAsThieves it clearly is driven mainly by a few people
chetty: haha the b-a reality show, comming soon
mircea_popescu: pankkake actually if i had to somehow do what she's trying to do, i'd cheat : get the words put into !s and ;;ud, look three lines prior for the sentence they appear in, build the sentence tree and then use that grammatical pattern on the whole log.
mircea_popescu: extract all words which work syntactically in the same manner as the searched terms.
dub: all I remember is the awful scene with that chick raping a woofer
mircea_popescu: because what the search does is it says "this is an important AND OBSCURE" term.
mircea_popescu: whereas you want to see important and anti-obscure words.
mircea_popescu: o wait, he also had a girl that fucked her mother on once ? or what was it ?

kakobrekla: mircea_popescu at least one day got thrown out from the log data so there wont be 100% match

mircea_popescu: kakobrekla you mean cuz assbot didn't see it ? how did it put it in the stats then ?
kakobrekla: no, its in the logs it just that we couldnt make sense of it

mircea_popescu: mthreat this is the problem of half baked systems. just like sm sites are structurally vulnerable because they misimplement the wot, just like the phone corps & banks are vulnerable because they misimplement crypto,
mircea_popescu: everyone in the old world is very, very vulnerable to a long long list of new attacks.

mircea_popescu: all that "lol at sexist women ads from the 50s" obliquely misses the point that "honey, that was then. i wouldn 't settle for a carbureter today, and i wouldn't settle for a 50s housewife only. do more. MUCH more."

mircea_popescu: if people REALLY wanted intellectual stimulation, they wouldn't read books, they'd listen to music.
mircea_popescu: and walk around talking to other bearded men in sarafans
mike_c: 99.9% of the books that get read provide no more intellectual stimulation than an episode of family guy.
mike_c: empirical evidence only. what people tell me they are reading.
mircea_popescu: i think less than 1% of the books i ever read were published after my birth.
mircea_popescu: i suspect this is a good rule of thumb. and equally good in 1700 for that matter.
mike_c: percentage should perhaps be a smidge higher for an engineer, but i like it as a rule of thumb.
mircea_popescu: well you won't count looseleaf documentations as "books" would you ?
jurov: certain bestseller endorsed by Governor of Canada comes to mind
mircea_popescu: and if you do read the book, its prolly going to be something like knuth or whatever other exceptionally well systhematising works, which are again well in the past.
mike_c: stephen hawking is worth reading.
mike_c: i can't think of anyone else. you're right, 1% is good.
mircea_popescu roughly speaking despises all us style fiction, to the point of not actually liking most sf.

Finally, one row of large bumps leads into a super ribbed texture that narrows the farther you get inside."

mircea_popescu: A whole musical genre---the blues---showcases life failure. "Singing the blues" is figuratively what sexually worthless nerds do on Usenet, except it doesn't fly with women as unembellished prose. << o that's fucking bullshit.

mircea_popescu: one doesn't get the blues because he can't figure out how to remove the delco cap.
mircea_popescu: one gets the blues because he worked ten years to make enough money to marry this girl that he really really loves, and she loves him, and now they're married and YET.
mircea_popescu: in fact, sitting there whining about the delco cap is so unlike the blues they made a new word for it. it's emo.

mircea_popescu: ok, let me put this to you. average us middle manager can't fuck his employees, because he's affraid of scandal. of the employees, at least a few would be open to being fucked
mircea_popescu: suppose this manger now goes to work for me, and i'm "whatever, fuck them all in chains for all i care."
mircea_popescu: you're telling me he's not going to do it, becase "it's not done" or something ?
jurov: so he bribes the pilot instead?
jurov: how does the pilot not know?
jurov: where he's flying over?

mircea_popescu: (we're giving the people over at X your radio id, and they'll shoot you down. omitting to mention this part.)

mike_c: yeah, loud criticism from an irrelevant source accidentally boosts awareness of its target.
mircea_popescu: extra points when the message doesn't even make sense in a way readily apparent to the intended demo.
