asciilifeform: decimation: ECL easily gives you 50-80 GHz

mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal: did I understand this correctly that the namecoin network hashrate is sitting at about half that of the bitcoin network? < it's mergemined
mircea_popescu: the correct construction is that "about half bitcoin miners also merge namecoin"
jborkl: That sounds correct

mircea_popescu: anyway, that's all for me. tomorrow!
jborkl: Mircea if you have not been by the site lately. I just finished the diff calculator.
jborkl: And a whole bunch of other shit
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah I forgot about ECL. The point is, discrete logic need not be slow. However, at high speeds propagation delay is going to be a serious issue, which implies distributed clockless dataflow design.
asciilifeform: decimation: which is why the 'real fun' would be muller's 'c-gate', which doesn't care about delay
asciilifeform: and needs no clock
asciilifeform: 'How long can something be held as wrong before its practice is discontinued? A long, very long time, much longer than we think.' << from mp's taleb page. in our case, synchronous logic.
asciilifeform: it's just braindamaged.
asciilifeform: c-gate is known since '58.
asciilifeform: (no, not a typo)
asciilifeform off to bed

mircea_popescu: do you know what is remarkable about rubbing alcohol here in buenos aires ? the sort sold in pharmacies ?
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: it's not really alcohol ?
mircea_popescu: it's not DENATURATED.
deanclkclk: ?
mircea_popescu: it's not denaturated to the degree that the label lists as indications : for rubbing,
mircea_popescu: and for making drinks.
davout: !down deanclkclk
mircea_popescu: cromatographically tested too, they say.
davout: mircea_popescu: do you mean you can get a simple chemical without being infantilized away?
mircea_popescu: yes.
mircea_popescu: alcohol, dude! the original fucking statal assholery
mircea_popescu: i mean you could also get it in romania, liter bottles of triple distilled grain alcohol. but in specialist shops.
punkman: yeah pure alcohol is pretty fucking handy
punkman: can get it in supermarkets/pharmacies here, but it costs 9 eur for 250ml now with all the new taxes, ridiculous
mircea_popescu: it's actually a much better (safer) fire starter than gasoline
punkman: I use the denatured stuff for that
mircea_popescu: well that's slightly unhealthy
punkman: which is like 1eur a liter
punkman: why is it unhealthy?
mircea_popescu: i don't recall whatexactly burn product of methylen blue is dubious but there was something
punkman: don't need much if you got kindling, burns off in like a couple seconds
mircea_popescu: don't need any if you got clean alcohol

fluffypony: Namworld: I'm too scared to even buy in to shoddy shares
Namworld: It's not too bad when you don't hold large amounts over extended period but flip shares on the large price difference.
Namworld: There's not a lot of that since GLBSE/BitFunder/etc tho
mircea_popescu: Namworld a question a little like "am i the only one who won the lottery"
mircea_popescu: prolly not.
kakobrekla: early day of glbse, whatever you put your money in was a winner after a week and a complete lose after two.
Namworld: No, of course, but I only hear of failed funds. Certainly some people in here did it with some kind of success? They're just not as public since investing for themselves. Was looking to hear about any such person.
Naphex: google now sends bitbet updates
Naphex: not bad
mircea_popescu: there's people doing this thing with ponzis (politely known as "hyip") where they send money and try to take it back out before everyone else.
mircea_popescu: amusingly enough, this is actually an offense in the western world.
kakobrekla: yup, except it wasnt a ponzi it was bubblescam

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: With that question I take two answers as meaningless, one as a suggestion the answerer should be sent to the LISP mines
BingoBoingo: Because in three decades if I get a pacemaker I'll be damned if it runs unix
mircea_popescu: one of the best things about open space style office and these chairs on rollers they do nowadays
mircea_popescu: is that you can play boinking chairs with people.
mircea_popescu: also run over chicks in open toe sandals, but hey. no pain no gain.
BingoBoingo: offlining
davout: mircea_popescu: "also run over chicks in open toe sandals" <<< ouch
fluffypony: danielpbarron: I replied to the fucktard on that thread as well
darlidada: BingoBoingo: it would be spinoza, but I dont know him that well; its the joy of reading Plato's logos and the joy of reading nietzsche psychological depth that really brought me into philosophy; nowadays it is more political philosophy and logic that i am interested in, the first because it helps me understanding the world i live in, the second because it cures my mind from the
darlidada: contradiction the era i grew up in
fluffypony likes darlidada's worldview
Apocalyptic: Nietzche was a great discovery
Apocalyptic: (for me)
darlidada: i read the 3rd chapter of "On religion" by schopenhauer yesterday. It was a nice discovery from reading mircea_popescu blog:)
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: see! he's perfect for this project.
darlidada: Nietzsche has the same view than Schopenhauer on books too. I think I read too much for my own health.
darlidada: I need to do a blog ahah
mircea_popescu: davout well what, they should wear platforms like decent sluts.
mircea_popescu: lol you two.
mircea_popescu: but yes, schopenhauer is under rated because "romantic"
fluffypony: ok darlidada - I will make sure you have a platform to start your work by Wednesday, sound good?
mircea_popescu: http://www.medpagetoday.com/images/blogMedia/celebritydiagnosis/Obama-Chia-Pet.jpg
mircea_popescu: why not just reuse the wiki ?
darlidada: fluffypony: I wont truly be available before the 1rst of july b
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: I want daily synopsis + dictionary
mircea_popescu: so wiki pages can't do that ?
fluffypony: darlidada: I know, no need for major commitment till after 1st July
mircea_popescu: imo the fewer platforms the better, as a general philosophy.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: not nicely; I played with mediawiki a bit, not happy with it
mircea_popescu: the very concept of "platform" is predicatred onm there not being many of them. imagine if there's 500 platforms, the whole thing looks about as flat as chinatown
mircea_popescu: !up PedjaT
fluffypony: !up darlidada
mircea_popescu: dude srsly ?!
pankkake: I read Schopenhauer for the insults, and Douglas Adams for the philosophy
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: remember, though, I'm throwing money at this in the hope that at some stage someone will go "oh shit, tome of all knowledge, take my dogecoin plc"
fluffypony: I can't monetise wiki.b-a
pankkake: TarMi!~3d3d@5.79.71.195 has quit: Quit: MIRCEA POPESCU IS AN ASSHOLE! < for those who hide quits
fluffypony: lulz
mircea_popescu: fluffypony so you seriously expect to monetize PUBLISHED summaries of assets ?
pankkake: I would buy a Trilema book
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: I expect to monetise tl;dr's :)
Apocalyptic: mircea_popescu, this isn't communist Romania
Apocalyptic: monetize all the things !
pankkake: but I'll probably eventually ebook it myself
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell bingoboingo http://www.shortpacked.com/index.php?id=2086 << as hanbot points out, who the hell would want to have sex with someone with that attitude ?!
assbot: Shortpacked! by David Willis - Oy Vey Sex Toy
gribble: The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic no but i mean... so someone buys it and publishes it on his site. now what.
mircea_popescu: pankkake you mean on paper ?
pankkake: yes
Apocalyptic: mircea, good question, I was being sarcastic
davout: "so someone buys it and publishes it on his site. now what." <<< same goes for trilema
mircea_popescu: davout but i have clear title to the material.
mircea_popescu: he does not.
fluffypony: logs.b-a is different, though
fluffypony: there's no title
fluffypony: and in any case
davout: indeed, that doesn't really change the point
fluffypony: ongoing analysis can reference logs
mircea_popescu: moreover, wouldn't it perhaps be more productive to come up with some sort of way of monetizing the wiki if that's the point ?
mircea_popescu: i mean, merely the monetization issue is not in fact a good answer to "why make moar platforms"
davout: you did not refrain from implementing credits because someone could theoretically come up with freelema, right?
mircea_popescu: davout i happen to have this comfortable situation where if someone pisses me off i can actually bury them in legal paper.
mircea_popescu: !up TarMi
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: but surely it depends on *what* you're monetising
mircea_popescu: dude what's your major dysfunction
TarMi: Mircea is an asshole!
fluffypony: TarMi: I know, right, he's a real cock head
mircea_popescu: fluffypony which is why i said, trilema and ba summaries aren't really thesame thing
mircea_popescu: you'd think he caught me while i was doing his mom or something
davout: mircea_popescu: that sounds like it'd be much more costly to the target than to the attacker
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: so analysis of Trilema articles would be open, right? it doesn't preclude credits to the source
mircea_popescu: davout i didn't parse.
davout: i mean burying someone in legal papers would be costly to you, and it would be easy to work around
mircea_popescu: only if you're a bum.
mircea_popescu: but if you're a bum, i don't care in the first place.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony well, original content is generally one thing, derivative content is generally iffy.
davout: or on tor, or whatever, we're digressing here, my point is that monetizing convenience is something i think can make sense
mircea_popescu: definitely, but then making a myriad platforms is anti convenience
davout: fluffypony make a blog with summaries, use credits
fluffypony: yeah but fuckit - I'll host it somewhere and kakobrekla can cname analysis.bitcoin-assets.com
fluffypony: davout: exactly
mircea_popescu: cause you know, everyone's gonna make one, cause there's nothing easier in the world, exactly the sort of busywork unemplyed webcoders love, and then they'll compete and then before you know it you won't be able to be friends anymore.
mircea_popescu: just bad incentive structure.
fluffypony: my thinking was WordPress with a "dictionary" plugin that picks up words in posts and links them to "definitions"
pankkake: that sounds like a wiki!
fluffypony: because easy to paywall
mircea_popescu: i don't even recall why the wiki wasn't wp in the end
mircea_popescu: iirc i said something then but i don't recall what or how itwent
fluffypony: pankkake: wiki links to other articles are not automatic tho
fluffypony: plus I fucking hate mediawiki
mircea_popescu: fluffypony automatic isn't such a benefit.
fluffypony: at least I can control WP
pankkake: it's not mediawiki
fluffypony: pankkake: either or - I still don't think that letting all-and-sundry edit is good
mircea_popescu: afaik ba wiki has a closed editor list
davout: call it assetopedia
mircea_popescu: ass-to-pedia
davout: or just penis
pankkake: asspedia, to compete with http://www.boobpedia.com/
assbot: Big Tits - Boobpedia
mircea_popescu: o wow this is relevant to my ignorance & interests.
mircea_popescu: http://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Category:D_cup << fucking name list wtf is wrong with people.
assbot: Category:D cup - Boobpedia - Encyclopedia of big boobs
mircea_popescu: speaking of http://cascadianhacker.com/blog/2014/04/11_bitcoin-assets-new-wot-and-voice-model.html hey dub, you still hold the view ?
assbot: #bitcoin-assets new WoT and voice model
fluffypony: got distracted
fluffypony: anyway
fluffypony: I want darlidada to maintain a "guardian of knowledge" role
fluffypony: we can open it later
mircea_popescu: thinking about it, you basically want him to run a blog
fluffypony: yes - but the key here is analysis and synopsis
fluffypony: and it's not to give noobs a lurk-free path
fluffypony: but it's more as an ongoing reference
mircea_popescu: yeah. platform threw me, but srsly, yu just want to make a blog.
darlidada: its true that knowledge is disseminated everywhere, but to be fair trilema bitcoin section already does a very nice job
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: yep - a blog post for every day that #bitcoin-assets has existed
fluffypony: plus the dictionary as an added bonus
fluffypony: once darlidada gets to like June last year he's going to have to dip into personal logs
mircea_popescu: he is ?
darlidada: how should we sort the stuff that happens ? should we sum up everything even random fluff?
fluffypony: random fluff is the best
darlidada: even on #bitcoin-assets, there is a chat hierarchy, there are chat logs that are important to sum up and chat logs that are just fluff
mircea_popescu: <fluffypony> random fluff is the best << except the mp theorem is that "bitcoin-assets is the shortest packing possible of all the information it contains".
mircea_popescu: so i bet you if you do all the fluff your summaries will exceed the space of the log, prolly 3x
fluffypony: buuuuut
fluffypony: there's a dictionary too, right
mircea_popescu: sure.
fluffypony: so the entry for "Mircea Popescu" won't be repeated per-day
mircea_popescu: and if you're notwilling to compromise some words will be book length
fluffypony: and it will grow as he gets through the logs
fluffypony: 100%
mircea_popescu: the original encyclopedists had the exactsame problem
fluffypony: for this I'd hope some entries are extraordinarily long
fluffypony: maybe one day we publish a book :-P
fluffypony: darlidada: I hope your book-writing skills are up to scratch :-P
fluffypony: !up darlidada
darlidada: fluffypony wants me to become a philosopher like the one from the french enlightment whereas i wanna become a free spirit like rousseau, though now that i am into bitcoin, im not sure about his love for the demos anymore ;<
fluffypony: hah hah
fluffypony: on the contrary, I want you to become a cartographer ;)
darlidada: interesting, so you want me to map every person and every event within the bitcoin world
darlidada: bitcoin asset is our santa maria ;p
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell mike_c let me know once you approve my comment so i know it hasn't just been swallowed up by the machine and can erase the pasted version i've saved just in case.
gribble: The operation succeeded.
fluffypony: darlidada: yes - clever tags will provide a map
fluffypony: you need to be a curator, essentially
fluffypony: this needs a curator - multiple, disparate, dispassionate, uninterested curators don't work
mircea_popescu: well i'm sure that multiple passionate, disparate, interested curators will work too :)
darlidada: then its good that i've an obsessive personality, im maniac about trilema.com right now; i'm gonna finish reading http://trilema.com/2014/a-complete-theory-of-economics/ - and go to bed, gn:)
assbot: A complete theory of economics pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: I'm not against the approach, but I think this needs a more unified approach to prevent a more unified view
fluffypony: once everything is "there" it's different
fluffypony: but consistency is critical during the initial load
mircea_popescu: fluffypony no argument
Guest20889: mircea_popescu: The amazing thing about the unfuckable is the variety of ways they can inhere that property.

mircea_popescu: . Just fucks me off when I see super rich fucks chuck their money around like confetti. Fiat or bitcoin. ( and yes bit of jealousy, but if I was that rich I would share the wealth in a more meaningful way)
mircea_popescu: that's not how you get to be rich. rich people are hated, because they are supposed to be hated. No one has ever gotten elitist rich by following the rules or being nice.

mircea_popescu: "I leave aside the confusion absence of evidence/evidence of absence--and the misunderstanding of the very notion of "empiricism". It is a fact that in the real world of our daily decision-making 1) we do not have much evidence of most relevant things, yet we need to take action; 2) in most situations, "true/false" is never symmetric (one side is more harmful than the other), so the burden of evidence is one-sided. Which
