aquentson: <aquentson> well then let history see
aquentson: <aquentson> who proclaimed all wisdom
aquentson: <aquentson> to provide even an indication
aquentson: <aquentson> of how the unrest in his kingdom can be solved
aquentson: <aquentson> what do you expect your men to think mircea_popescu ?
BingoBoingo: aquentson: Lord mircea_popescu is done with you. Answer my question.
BingoBoingo: How is life writing for the GAW shilling scamrag?
BingoBoingo: How many ass pennies does it take CCN, coronator of scams to get you to sell your soul aquentson?
deedbot: afweashs voiced for 30 minutes.
aquentson: I thought you guys were interesting
aquentson: I doubt in your, what, 7 year history now, you've hosted anyone more interested to be persuaded
jhvh1: 9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
aquentson: you cant even get a shity site to look 21st century like in design!
BingoBoingo: Hey, Qntra's design actually renders on African internet or do you no longer want to bring internet to Africa?
BingoBoingo: I though CCN was all about Bitcoin to Africa
aquentson: dodnt know qntra was appealing to an african audience
aquentson: to the 3 ppl that visit it, you mean?
aquentson: what did mircea_popescu say? I have 1 million bitcoins!
aquentson: dude I can do it for about 15 dollars
BingoBoingo: Mauritius is 22nd most popular Qntra visitor country
☟︎ aquentson: BingoBoingo, tell us why you pinged me
aquentson: we both know its not over some shit chat
BingoBoingo: aquentson: I want to know what it's like writing for the enemy, CCN promoter of scams!
BingoBoingo: Disinformation is the enemy. CCN lived high on Josh Garza's hog
aquentson: to the lost deluded brainwashed souls?
aquentson: even in a drunken state you go silent BingoBoingo
jhvh1: 1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol—that our lives had become unmanageable.
aquentson: now you might accuse me of enjoying myself
BingoBoingo: Anyways been sober for quite a few hundred days now.
aquentson: but my retord is I would not be here otherwise
BingoBoingo: Wait we have a famed autist from CCN visiting?
aquentson: BingoBoingo, I'm very dissapointed
aquentson: in... in... in this whole mini community
aquentson: you guys know the role you've played in the blocksize debate
aquentson: but clearly none of you has any brains to see its effects
BingoBoingo: aquentson famed autist of CCN which once lived high on Josh Garza's Paycoin presumes to diagnose me?
aquentson: what's your solution to the scalability debate?
BingoBoingo: Scale is just fine now. Bitcoin's riding high on the coup attempts falling.
aquentson: but is not your idea that there should be a hierarchy?
BingoBoingo: My idea that that you need to dig deep and complete a thorough moral inventory.
jhvh1: BingoBoingo: Error: "step" is not a valid command.
jhvh1: 4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
mircea_popescu: trinque how easy would it be to make the !!up for noobs 30 minutes or 60 lines, whichever comes first ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski your case isn't even the most egregious. i ever tell you about the idiot that drove straight into us, from a full stop, backwards ? his car, much wiser than him, braked and so there was no damage.
phf: one was enough, two was too many, but three?
mircea_popescu: i would guess a full 50% of people behind a wheel are SO BAD that modern progresstech like "if car is shocked, break" is actually very useful. even if this means you could throw pebbles at a car and keep it locked forever.
BingoBoingo: Fuck, every year the quality of the autists continues to drop.
phf: the ups for this guy
BingoBoingo: phf: My bad. I have a bad habit of playing with the food.
BingoBoingo: as far back as 2013 ben_vulpes and I duelled over who get to get the most playtime with the food that comes in here.
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: it's "homes" from "homie" and that from "homeboy" not "holmes" from "sherlock holmes"
ben_vulpes: something tells me the only black guy left canada a long time ago
phf: well, sometimes we have visitors who, while they hold divergent opinions, present interesting view into the minds of others. like that nodic girl, who couldn't even. if nothing else she was articulate and feisty. this guy was just painfully tedious, and it was obvious that he's going to be from how he chose to setup his opener, about the free market.
mircea_popescu: phf my bad for the 2nd, i upped him through having merely parsed the log to a point where he somehow managed to sum > 0.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-10 22:13 asciilifeform: aaah the quickest way possible...
mircea_popescu: phf wait, the free market thing made it obvious to you ? it's what made me up him.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: "you're not a real progressive unless you support legalizing sex work"
mircea_popescu: i'm actually against any sex legislation. this includes "prostitution", "rape", "age of consent", "marriage", what have you.
mircea_popescu: it's way the fuck better to legislate religion than sexuality.
ben_vulpes: yeah well some days i just feel like fucking with one part of the edifice instead of the whole thing
ben_vulpes: hey just because i never trumpeted my viragh logs
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes not only this, BUT HE STILL HASNT HAD ENOUGH
ben_vulpes: you know asciilifeform i thought i'd grown out of it until aquentson showed up
mircea_popescu: "i thought i grown out of 16yo cunt, until i saw another one"
phf: well, he opened with a "scale issue", but when started getting concrete answers from ben_vulpes "backtracked" but doing one of those setup questions, "do you believe in freedom?" sort of thing. ben_vulpes refused to eat the bait. that's where you either switch tactic or close the setup "well, if you believe in freedom then you obviously believe in bombing them sons of bitches". but instead of closing he started nitpicking whatever ben_vulpes was s
phf: aying. first of all, you don't use setup question technique unless you have standing, it's at least partially rhetorical. second of all, when you do, you don't drag it out. i dismissed him at that point as a tedious bore, which he turned out to be
mircea_popescu: phf my reasoning was, that he was having a meaningless dispute with ben_vulpes ; possibly understood it to be meaningless ; and possibly therefore attempted to go upnode. that the selection of upnode wasn't judicious can't be held against him specifically because no standing.
mircea_popescu: i tend to evaluate very loosely. "best possible construction".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah it's chiefly why i'm not saying anything. let the log be awash today and let it be done with
mircea_popescu: also, it's useful to get the hostnames of the idiots published.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ftr you're missing out on all the lisp fun and ima not tell you where it is!
mircea_popescu: ~all linux is debian you realise. just like ssh = openssh etc.
mircea_popescu: eh, they have no fucking idea what "ambito laboral" is.
mircea_popescu: no spanish speaker has ever done any work. i don't think EVER, but certainly not in the past century.
mircea_popescu: o which reminds me : lamparas = lamps. but MAMPARAS = shower curtains

ben_vulpes: phf: aye, that function's still hanging around
ben_vulpes: freenode kicked the thing for flood, didn't change anything about image state
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes im more like contemplating the nonsense situation i unwittingly created.
mircea_popescu: but the solution of course would be, i'll register a key for it and have it speak the !!v string.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: you could even write that yourself
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: you gotta see the molestation ongoing in #chainstate

davout: ben_vulpes: such wizardry in #chainstate
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: musta been one of those new-fangled volvos/ford/hondas/mercs that stops for you. lucky you. a family friend's grandson wasn't so lucky when he was backed over and killed by... his own grandfather. couple years ago now.
pete_dushenski: it was always holmes in my head, and always spoken by that bald sanchez from the ff series.
pete_dushenski: 'deepstack' be his name, poker be his game. smashed a couple dozen pros over 44k hands. some recognisable pro names even.
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: urban dictionary? wigga central?

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes jews are white nao ?! or is this joek because canada is so far up north even the coal's white there. not to mention the pines.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski ftr, poker needs no such thing as "ai". poker is a deterministic game if you wish, can program machine to play extremely tight, will beat most humans.
mircea_popescu: the reason playing loose works in poker is the same reason you can keep a camp dormful of teenage girls awake until 6am by hiding a tape with giggles on it that plays every 5 to 10 minutes
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the robot pubescent puella doesn't suffer from the problem, sleeps well through the night.
mircea_popescu: davout because that totally works, not talking about things makes them go away.
mircea_popescu: sooo, i feel like translating ; anyone has a trilema piece they've been wanting in english ?
Framedragger: also, i wonder what you'd make of paraconsistent logic and if you'd like to write an article on it at some future point

mircea_popescu: very nice two-year-apart binome of a) girl wanna-be woman in the ustardian vein ; b) girl recounting (retardedly) the failure of the attempt.
Framedragger: film recommendation by free association ("The Cineplex Entertaining Cinecenter for Couples")! -> The Lobster (2016)
Framedragger: (or 2015, depending on how one counts, apparently)
Framedragger: "singles are given 45 days to find a romantic partner or otherwise be turned into animals."
mircea_popescu: Framedragger either you recommended that or someone else did. i tried to watch the thing, kicked it out within ~10 minutes.
mircea_popescu: and WHY does everythiong look&feel exactly like black mirror these days! wtf, they went from reality-tv to the same sort of twilight zone docudrama.
mircea_popescu: watching tv people do "creative" things is like watching laundromat attendants cook.
Framedragger: the wannabe-dystopia colour aesthetic *is* boring, yeah...
mircea_popescu: Framedragger it's not even (just) about the screenplay. the actors, ALL OF THEM, without any exception, can't act. can't talk. can't even fucking block. they look like they came off eggs.
Framedragger: (iirc i had suggested elena (2011) but iirc it's of a similar colour palette hmh)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's good physics why you can't have a reliable microtome.
mircea_popescu: ah like a polisher. mebbe. it will necessarily move some of the unerlying though.
mircea_popescu: even so, i'd be surprised if you get with less than 0.1% cutting induced blind spots
mircea_popescu: afaik laser welding/cutting already happens under argon commercially.
mircea_popescu: which means you'll end up with a complicated pile of cutters servicing one photoghrapher.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform wait so you liked the story of mark's anal woes ?
mircea_popescu: does this mean in spite of mah best effort it's entirely divorced from the other one ?
mircea_popescu: in any case should be interesting once the v model takes hold for novel-writing, and no novel is anything but what it was meant to be : a tree.
mircea_popescu: the "authorship" bullshit / englithment fiction really went as far as it could go. in fact, a lot further than it should have ever went.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno ; i suspect poys die with their hymen intact in that universe
mircea_popescu: and schoolchildren believe "female genital mutilation" === defloration.
mircea_popescu: (yes, it's boys and poys, because boy comes from blue not the fucking other way around, what terrorism is this.)
mircea_popescu: i'm also vaguely curious which 2nd rate herp is going to, in a decade or two, "innovatively" write down "his" ideas about the new novel and the future of authorship.

phf: what's the packing format?
phf: i feel like you talked about the patch before, what does it do?
phf: oh that's crafty. so you just plop atheros in the same slot as where intel wifi sits? it looked pretty "standard" the way it was sitting there
trinque: the claim made is that you can "switch it off permanently" iirc
phf: that passed by me, and it looks insane :o
phf: "The system works by periodically reporting back to a central authority. In the event of theft, the central authority can instruct the resident agent to wipe all information as a security measure, or to track the whereabouts of the system, to help recover the stolen items via subsequent law enforcement activities"
phf: yeah, i'm just building a typing laptop. probably going to take it to india with me instead of main machine. can't really afford getting it stolen, and don't want to bother with proper compartmentalization
phf: 2 hours of battery is a bit sad, but i'm not planning on "working from a coffee shop" either
davout: plox to recommend lisp dead trees for beginner
phf: typically people recommend
http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/ and it's a sort of "rails for beginners" kind of book, but i think best cl option is
http://www.norvig.com/paip.html. norvig's paradigms of artificial intelligence programming. it's not so much about "ai", but about some very useful symbolic algorithms, written in ~very elegant~ lisp code
phf: it opens with enough of common lisp to be useful, and then goes into actual programming problems. i think it's one of the best programming books in general.
davout: asciilifeform phf thanks! i'll look into it, gonna start with clhs until i get back to a country where amazon delivers
