00:00 asciilifeform i thought people sold thing
00:00 asciilifeform for moneys.
00:00 mircea_popescu otherwise what, we'll be stuck in 2020 dealing with legacy yahoos ? noty.
00:00 phf a festival/burning man equivalent would be one of those "solar shower" bags
00:00 asciilifeform am i in parallel world where trade didnt happen
00:02 mircea_popescu anyone want to share his bbq marinade recipe ?
00:15 phf asciilifeform: koi8-r author died, http://www.opennet.ru/opennews/art.shtml?num=47037
00:19 asciilifeform phf: koi8 жил, жив, и будет жить !1!!!
00:20 phf he was also one of the freebsd core developers, worked on the original USSR<->world isp, etc. i've seen him couple of times, though never spoke. he was friends with the guy who taught me how to computer, so periodically would show up to moscow state
00:21 asciilifeform seems like d00d quietly naggumed in his bed for some yrs before died, neh
00:22 phf yeah, that's what it looks like :o
00:22 asciilifeform ( consider, freebsd became clangalicious and rngless a while back )
00:23 asciilifeform freebsd circa 2002 or so is still near top of my list for 'what if salvage a unix'
00:24 asciilifeform ( that was asciilifeform's last 'happy' bsd install )
00:24 asciilifeform 4.7 was ~snappy~ on libretto110
00:24 asciilifeform what can i get today, that is...
00:26 phf i wasn't a rich imperialist at the time, but freebsd was quite pleasant on a 300mhz amd, i used it as main os for a long time, until, yeah, 2002 or so. this is also when i switched to mac os x, which was perhaps a mistake. i suspect these people made their own deals with devil
00:26 asciilifeform asciilifeform made it to '07
00:26 asciilifeform after that - gentoo
00:27 asciilifeform i also remember getting hold of a crapple, and naively thinking 'hey, something like sun'
00:28 phf i wouldn't be surprised if Chernov likewise welcomed clang (not gnu!!) and all other kinds of own hole digging, until the overwhelming suckage SUDDENLY manifested in everything
00:29 phf like Sun itself, apple was perhaps also like Sun for a very brief period, until it wasn't.
00:31 asciilifeform for the brief time when it was still competing with sun, hp, zombie of sgi
00:31 asciilifeform ( for commercialunix users )
00:32 asciilifeform no moar than couplea yrs of stevej
00:32 asciilifeform after that - monopoly, full bore microshitism
00:34 mike_c http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/T5q4F/?raw=true
00:34 asciilifeform re freebsd -- it was almost a dream, i dum recall even once having the now-daily 'this was made by tards, and they Must Die' feel from it
00:34 mike_c save that to a file called 'whatever.py'
00:34 mike_c and run it with 'python whatever.py /path/to/hands/directory/'
00:34 mike_c !!later tell Birdman ^
00:34 ben_vulpes btw wb mike_c
00:34 mike_c hi ben!
00:35 mircea_popescu it's n ice to have him back isn't it.
00:35 asciilifeform aha!
00:35 mike_c !~later tell Birdman ^
00:35 jhvh1 mike_c: The operation succeeded.
00:35 mircea_popescu mike_c bots.contravex.com btw
00:35 * ben_vulpes was just recalling the c3 memory fragging arguments
00:35 ben_vulpes mike_c's horrified refusal to believe that shit could be so bad
00:35 mircea_popescu mike_c what's tmsr look like from the vantage of 18 months ?
00:36 mike_c some things are good. client is running, bots are working, goats are being shipped.
00:36 mike_c like in all progress, I wish faster.
00:36 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: aha! i esp. liked how mike_c didn't hesitate to tell me 'yer wrong: rather, here's different hypothesis'
00:36 mike_c but hey, wish in one hand and do some work in the other
00:37 * mircea_popescu just got through making goat buttermilkj marinade for cow tongue for girl's barbecue tues. pray for me that it works, because a) they never had cow tongue and b) they never saw diary marinade and generally c) pretty suspicious side glances all around.
00:38 ben_vulpes i swear by yogurt marinades for chickens
00:39 mircea_popescu ikr ?
00:39 phf i can't even think about food, we had guests..
00:39 mircea_popescu what happened ?
00:39 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes good jew, doesn't marinade cow in milk...
00:40 ben_vulpes lol hey i don't marinade cow much in anything
00:40 ben_vulpes my sins against the torah are myriad
00:40 asciilifeform 'do not cook a chix in her mother's milk' (tm)(r)(maimonides) or how did it go.
00:40 mircea_popescu aha.
00:40 phf i ate too much
00:41 mircea_popescu why do you eat your guests phf, that's not respectable or civilised.
00:41 phf but i can't brag, because in the upside down tmsr world, i now find having one girl cooking the whole meal a form of cruel and unusual punishment.
00:41 mircea_popescu why ?!
00:42 phf 3 courses, custom desert, own bread, etc. seems like ~a lot~ of work
00:42 mircea_popescu it's only gruel if all she gets is bitch kibbles from a doggy dish under the table!
00:42 mircea_popescu cruel*
00:42 phf ok that's fair
00:43 mircea_popescu tell her i said that, too, that way i'll know why lanky russian chick i never met is throwing knives at me in social setting later on.
00:44 ben_vulpes was this like an entire days worth of prep that guestbae could not assist with?
00:44 mircea_popescu he dun have guestbae, he's like from the east.
00:44 phf what's a guestbae? :o
00:45 mircea_popescu phf aka soubrette in french. girl who eats out your main bitch.
00:45 asciilifeform aa subpet
00:45 mircea_popescu WHETHER SHE LIKES IT OR NOT
00:45 ben_vulpes lol nothing so so. one of the sheguests
00:46 phf ah, yes, we need one of those. i didn't realize they had them in portland
00:46 ben_vulpes you don't want what we have.
00:46 mircea_popescu phf me either, but he keeps pretending as if, so what's it cost to believe.
00:46 ben_vulpes i've none such!
00:46 ben_vulpes slander and libel
00:46 mircea_popescu i thought you said!
00:47 ben_vulpes "you sir, are drunk."
00:47 mircea_popescu im not drunk, im alternately alcoholised.
00:47 ben_vulpes and in the morning i will still be a married man
00:48 mircea_popescu but let us drive the inquiry. why won't we want what you have ?
00:50 ben_vulpes all me to clarify that by we i mean "here", miserable socialist hellhole of the pnw
00:51 ben_vulpes and the "what" that "we" have is, well, you know the haircut that screams "everything offends my delicate intersectional sensibilities" from a block away?
00:51 Birdman mike_c thanks very much! one last question though as im pretty illiterate: i downloaded python for winbl0wz, i save that text in the paste to a text file with name, i run python get the command line, what would i type from there specifically? also do i need to unzip files to run it on?
00:51 ben_vulpes that is what we have and that is what nobody wants.
00:52 ben_vulpes which reminds me, i was in $bezzlecorp's offices the other week and found these hysterical signs in the degendered bathrooms reminding folks to put the seats down.
00:52 mircea_popescu motherfucker.
00:52 mircea_popescu how fucking dare they. $100 fine + day docked for chick that fails TO PUT SEAT BACK UP.
00:53 mircea_popescu it's a man's world, you're just visiting, okay ?
00:53 ben_vulpes not here, buddy.
00:53 ben_vulpes pantsuit central
00:53 mircea_popescu you're right, nobody wants what you got.
00:53 * ben_vulpes rests case
00:53 ben_vulpes but hey, the strawberries and cherries are great
00:54 mircea_popescu no, they are not. i just got maraschino cherries in a bag!
00:54 phf what i don't get is why neither party put BOTH SIT AND COVER down, which is sort of the whole purpose of the contraption.
00:54 mircea_popescu phf cover down means "i ate beans, bitch"
00:55 ben_vulpes mircea_popescu: only maraschino cherries i know come bleached of nature and re-filled with corn syrup and dye
00:55 ben_vulpes the rainiers are to die for though
00:55 mircea_popescu these come from germany (o.O)
00:56 ben_vulpes i had no idea cherries travel well
00:56 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes you can't beat ro/argentine cherries. for one thing, a gallon is like 8 bux. for the other thing, that gallon is like 5% pits.
00:56 ben_vulpes i was impressed with what little i saw of argentine food that the argentines didn't have the opportunity to screw up
00:57 mircea_popescu myeah.
00:57 ben_vulpes cherries, eggs, steak
00:57 ben_vulpes i don't know shit about horseflesh but they were nice too
00:57 ben_vulpes anything from not-city, i'd hazard
00:57 mircea_popescu crazy thing from c1 (or 2 ? i forget ?) xapo dude was on the way to lavish mp picked restaurant, stops on street to buy who the fuck knows what inedible fast food "because hungry".
00:58 mircea_popescu argentines are broken in the head.
01:00 mircea_popescu in other lulz : girl turned her ankle, i had her slathered in mustard. girl now enticingly like bacon.

01:05 asciilifeform asciilifeform was at 2, and never met sc4md00d
01:06 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes best thing for it, what wat.
01:06 mircea_popescu and in other watchers in the rye, http://68.media.tumblr.com/8096161d2455dbb7061487d29f5e688f/tumblr_nbjhidmhhD1tceoigo1_500.gif
01:07 ben_vulpes i had no idea
01:08 mircea_popescu it's either that or lead acetate. which of course you can't buy (anymore)
01:09 asciilifeform lol medicinal pb
01:09 mircea_popescu "sugar of lead"
01:09 mircea_popescu asciilifeform tru fax. best thing for sprains.
01:09 asciilifeform does mircea_popescu have antimony cup in his med chest also
01:09 mircea_popescu fu hater of my encyclopedic medical knowledges.
01:09 asciilifeform ( phunphakt -- poorer folx had antimony ~pill~ instead. reusable! )
01:10 Birdman mike_c on windows i think i needed to save it as a '.pyc' which makes it a compiled python file, though it says 'runtimeerror: bad magic number in .pyc file'
01:10 mike_c Birdman - yes, unzip the files to some directory. Say it's "c:\hands"
01:10 mike_c then from the command line, run "python file_you_made.py c:\hands"
01:10 mike_c save it as .py
01:10 mike_c python compiles it when you run it and makes a .pyc
01:14 mircea_popescu asciilifeform in point of fact you could buy lead acetate pills ("apa de plumb") in ro as of 1980s.
01:15 mike_c I'm off for the night. but above instructions should get you running it.

01:18 Birdman !~later tell mike_c im getting a sintaxerror: incorrect syntax on line 26
01:18 jhvh1 Birdman: The operation succeeded.
01:19 Birdman the incorrect syntax apparently being the second quotation mark here print "{0}, {1}, {2}".
01:20 Birdman print "{0}, {1}, {2}".format(filename, active_hand, player)
01:30 mircea_popescu anyway, to make this matter plain as i suspect it has ample potential for misunderstanding :
01:30 mircea_popescu there are two classes of indisputable facts. one is that yes, lead acetate is effectual against sprains. the other is that yes, lead in any form is toxic.
01:32 mircea_popescu now, the fact is that lead is also legally unavailable today. this is not necessarily sorosconspiraci : orcs with very low passive environmental exposure may very well afford a little bit of lead sugar now and again for a sprain. nevertheles, "civilised" ie overexposed pantsuits can nor afford such a thing.
01:32 ben_vulpes Birdman: i don't see the problem: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/kpaOM/?raw=true
01:32 mircea_popescu for them, any bit of lead is toxic, because thye are already overwhelmend by lead-rich environment. and so for them, it doesn't make sense to use lead acetate for sprains, because the costs exceed the benefits.
01:33 mircea_popescu this doesn't mean the benefits aren't present ; nor does it mean their costs are universal costs. it's just what it is.
01:33 mircea_popescu and no, obama didn't do this. the problem was already manifest two centuries ago, in the sense that it's entirely possible beethoven went deaf (a major early symptom of saturnism) due to drinking wines sweetened with the stuff. which was already illegal back then, but then he was a miser.

01:34 ben_vulpes i recall some quality lolz around "poor american blax are violent because their pipes are lead and this inhibits impulse control and intelligence generally"
01:34 mircea_popescu so no, i'm not advocating anyone put lead acetate on his sprain. nro am i implying some sort of evil conspiracy is keeping the good people from the good cures.
01:34 mircea_popescu they're not good cures for them. they used to be, good cures, for other peoples, which they are not. that's it.
01:35 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes that's reallly forcing a point. pipes were lead throughout pipe history, all the romans ever used.
01:35 mircea_popescu anyway : mustard has nothing to do wirth all this, still very effective.
01:35 ben_vulpes what's the mustard mechanism?
01:35 mircea_popescu and the fact remains, official usg.medicine has no TREATMENT for sprains, outside of imobilizatiopn and tramadol. which is not treatment.
01:36 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes it's never been explained. you know, like paracetamol.
01:36 Birdman ben_vulpes i dont understand, thats just the error im getting
01:36 mircea_popescu (fun fact : nobody has a working model of how america's most commonly prescribed drug (tylenol) actually works. it's been around since nazis invented it. but...)
01:36 ben_vulpes Birdman: well you said it had something to do with the second quote, which didn't make any sense
01:37 Birdman oh i assumed that was the case beacause in the command line it points to that second quote with a ^
01:39 ben_vulpes mircea_popescu: hey on the other hand, i did learn the 'nursemaids elbow' fix the other day
01:39 mircea_popescu oh ?

01:42 ben_vulpes romping around with kiddo, felt a *click* in his wrist, rapidly sad child who didn't want to use his left arm
01:42 mircea_popescu o nm, it's the elbow luxation in children. i misinterpreted teh words!
01:43 ben_vulpes myeah, that
01:43 mircea_popescu so what did you do ?
01:44 ben_vulpes i went to the doc, doc showed me the various manipulations to effect
01:44 mircea_popescu aha
01:44 ben_vulpes it's a pulling/twisting set of motions
01:44 mircea_popescu like most common pediatric presentation in functional family units, or something like that.
01:44 ben_vulpes "just look it up on youtube if this happens again"
01:44 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes if you're going to throw kid around , grab above elbow.
01:48 * ben_vulpes has obviously been watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IkPPlF-yaE too much
01:49 mircea_popescu lmao!
01:49 mircea_popescu wtf nonsense bs is this
01:50 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes anyway, dun let hosptial visit dissuade. kid is made to be thrown around up to the limit of physical resistance / crying. it's good for it.
01:50 ben_vulpes aya
01:51 ben_vulpes monster dog has been excellent for toughening up the tyke
01:51 mircea_popescu o ya.
01:51 ben_vulpes took a skull to the face the other day. black eye and barely a whimper.
01:52 mircea_popescu dog is perfect for up to 10 or so. then can take it riding.
01:52 ben_vulpes now let me tell you about how delicate the personal-injury lawyer's kid up the street is...
01:52 mircea_popescu then after 16 can go fucking.
01:53 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes brewing up the first white football mvp in like a decade eh ?

01:56 mircea_popescu beef > chicken shit.
01:56 ben_vulpes yes yes
01:57 mircea_popescu anywya. the proper name for what i mean is bistecca fiorentina.
01:57 mircea_popescu thick cut, very raw, maremmana cows.
01:57 mircea_popescu tuscany ftw.
01:59 mircea_popescu (t-bone is the same thing but thin and to the front)
02:02 mircea_popescu (maremmana is the etruscan word for an auroch)
02:04 ben_vulpes i would like to get a half cow next year.
02:05 mircea_popescu to keep where
02:05 ben_vulpes oh you know, boot of the car
02:06 mircea_popescu don't be silly. whoile cattle is for when your dozen women have their thirtieth child or such.
02:06 ben_vulpes the smallholders who raise them in the area inevitably surround the purchase with all sorts of hijinks. "you will come to the farm and we will introduce you to the herd; you and the rest of the half and quarter-purchasers will have a rollicking good time with your and our children dancing and drinking around the fire until the wee hours. room in the barn for all, plus tents outside if that appeals."
02:07 ben_vulpes mircea_popescu: i think horizontal freezer will hold a quarter of an animal
02:07 mircea_popescu but why would you want gray month old meat ?
02:09 ben_vulpes no es un pais pobre :(
02:09 ben_vulpes i am also curious to see how poorly the freeze treats the meat
02:10 mircea_popescu it's perfectly fine if half children's and if still poledancin' hos then girls' too calories come from meat. but this comes to what, 20-30k a week for a young woman with three children, ie about 6kgs ? that's a goat not a cow.
02:11 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes you're more than welcome to find out on own, but freezer meat is for fridjof nansen's fram, not for people living at homr.
02:12 mircea_popescu home*
02:16 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes look into steak aging i guess if you're decided to buy cow timeshares.
02:17 mircea_popescu if you must age it, better age deliberately than letting freezer burn do its worst.
02:17 ben_vulpes not particularly decided yet; still curious
02:17 mircea_popescu only time i bought cows in that manner was when making them thief style for immediate consumption\
02:17 mircea_popescu (the burried with coals thing)
02:18 ben_vulpes freezerburn's mitigatable tho innit?
02:19 mircea_popescu like syphilis.
02:19 ben_vulpes mitigable i mean
02:19 ben_vulpes lol what, beefcondom?
02:20 mircea_popescu more like, prayer.,
02:22 ben_vulpes i'll vacuum pack it!!1!
02:22 mircea_popescu there's no way to make a dead hooker bounce as pleasantly as a live one. that said, vacuum pack away.
02:28 mircea_popescu there's certainly merit in helping the smallholders stay in business.
02:29 mircea_popescu also iirc there are places that'll jerky it for you.

16:19 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo the point is interesting. plants do indeed get cancers ; but because plant cells do not travel in the anima's body at all, plant cancers aren't terribly agressive (so wouldn't normally kill the plant). nevertheless, very valid point, can readily study impact of background radiation on cell division by inspecting the monoclonal grooves.

17:28 mircea_popescu PeterL wd!
17:29 mircea_popescu PeterL the reason she stated primes as 6k+-1 is because 80% of numbers are divisible by 2 or 3, and it makes no sense to check them.
17:29 mircea_popescu but in any case, e's sieve was erathostenes' in my line.
17:31 mircea_popescu (the ancient original, cut out nth number, everfy 2nd from 2 every 3rd from 3 etc. euler's sieve is "take out a number, multiply the remainder of the list by that number, take out all the items in first list found also in second". which is faster yes, a generalisation of the 6k+-1 thing.)
17:32 mircea_popescu (euler actually came up with that doing the riemann zeta function product)
17:35 mircea_popescu anyway, there's a lot of work that went into this "program needs list of prime for initialization" thing back when people still actually put thought and work into computers. see wheel factorization etc if curious.
17:37 asciilifeform ACHTUNG s.nsa customers! all outstanding fg orders SHIPPED today
17:45 PeterL oops, I had the wrong e!
17:47 PeterL I actually meant I had a version of erathostenes sieve
17:47 mircea_popescu a
17:47 mircea_popescu well, they both made sieves.
17:49 PeterL did you take a look at my reverse hash thing, does it all make sense?
17:51 mircea_popescu anyway, the relationship between "unit covering functions", riemann's work and fundamental number (set) properties is one of those things that tend to make people entirely disinterested in "deductive government" a la http://trilema.com/2017/because-thats-just-how-things-are/#selection-259.147-259.253 once grokked.

17:51 a111 Logged on 2017-08-18 04:00 mircea_popescu: otherwise what, we'll be stuck in 2020 dealing with legacy yahoos ? noty.
17:53 mircea_popescu asciilifeform think about it along the lines of http://trilema.com/2015/lets-address-some-of-the-more-common-pseudo-arguments-raised-by-the-very-stupid-people-that-like-the-gavin-scamcoin-proposal/#selection-47.0-47.101
17:54 asciilifeform i dun immediately see how it connects
17:54 mircea_popescu at stage n, when bitcoin exists, curtis yarvin is too stupid to understand why it's much bigger than him ; and the mental efforts of marginal retard are just about comensurate with the sub dollar value of a coin.
17:54 mircea_popescu as things go on, the quality ratchets, and lo and behold : bioscum that was still functional by yest's criteria is no longer apt today.
17:55 mircea_popescu consider how the republic works, it's the same thing : at some point in tmsr history, nubbins could qualify to participate. at some later point, adlai couldn't manage to pass the bar.
17:55 asciilifeform well yes. but how does it help ~us~ that redditus things 'i'd buy some btc but it'll evaporate off my box anyway because no sane wallet'
17:55 asciilifeform *thinks
17:55 mircea_popescu kids who were perfectly fine leisure companions when you were 6 became intolerable drags when you were 10.
17:56 mircea_popescu because at age 6 the difference between you and average had unfolded to a term of x, whereas in a further four years it had unfolded to a further y, x ^ n as it may be.
17:56 mircea_popescu asciilifeform what the retard "thinks" is of no consequence in any way.
17:57 asciilifeform as i see it, saner tools lead to more http://trilema.com/2017/the-universal-plan-for-wealth - ing, and faster death for enemy
17:57 mircea_popescu no argument.
17:57 mircea_popescu but there's different bars to 1. hold bitcoin ; 2. productively employ bitcoin ; 3. productively work on bitcoin code ; 4. participate in tmsr.
17:58 mircea_popescu these are all different things. yes the mental bar for 1 should plateau eventually ; but this does not qualify the qualified to 2 or 3 or 4.
17:58 asciilifeform i dun see how anyone might think that it would
17:59 mircea_popescu whereas retard braions leak, because that's the definition of retard, and then mpoe-pr has to pen psas about "hey, retards, you being qualified for 1 and thinking you're qualified for 2 threatens the very fucking market"
17:59 mircea_popescu asciilifeform well, you might not see how anyone might think, but then again you'll be stuck explaining 2012 tardstalk.
18:00 asciilifeform as i see it, redditus buying ( or better, TUPW-ing ) some btc and then throwing his key into /dev/null, is ~also~ a productive-use-of-bitcoin
18:00 asciilifeform but not as productive as not-losing, because disincentivises repeat shots
18:00 mircea_popescu not ~ONLY~ everyone thought 1 means 2, but the same "everyone" thought i'm "arrogant" or w/e, "psychopath" for saying things like "you are not qualified"
18:00 mircea_popescu asciilifeform the retard does not ever do that. what the retard does is herd.
18:01 mircea_popescu it's basicalyl a blind seeking of hillaries, they herd as a behaviou searching the environment space for a pantsuit to "lead them" into welfare statism.
18:02 mircea_popescu so no, poor people not owing any money is not a problem. it is in fact the fundamental guarantee ~REQUIRED~ by any sound financial system, much like atmosphere is required for auricular function.
18:02 asciilifeform one of the fuels of welfarism is the 0 experience typical d00d has with money-that-dun-evaporate-by-itself
18:02 mircea_popescu as per the ancient "i sold my shares once the soubrette i was fucking on the side started talking shares with the bootblack"
18:02 asciilifeform sane wallet would go some way to curing this condition.
18:02 mircea_popescu i do not believe so.
18:03 diana_coman asciilifeform, fwiw I have yet to see even 1 single person cured of their stupidity by the existence of sanity in the world
18:03 mircea_popescu yes, sane wallet would be useful as part of baleen system to extract not-retarded individual somehow unaware/lost among the retards.
18:03 mircea_popescu but there is no education of the human race generally, nor any benefit in trying.
18:04 asciilifeform getting the pb out of the water won't, naturally, wholly cure stupidity. but still worth doing.
18:04 mircea_popescu nothing will cure stupidity but the grave.
18:04 diana_coman certainly worth doing
18:04 * mircea_popescu is entirely not against doing, but better to do with reasonable expectations.
18:04 diana_coman just nothing to do with curing anyone in itself, that's all
18:05 asciilifeform and at the very least help to kill the various goxes, which thrive on 'i have 100k $usd to buy btc, but not the 500k to keep team of nonwinblowz experts around to refrigerate the btc'
18:05 mircea_popescu nothing will kill the various goxes.
18:05 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: ~everything~ goes better with reasonable-expectations.
18:05 mircea_popescu they exist for the above stated reason. you understand that before they had pantsuits, they had little figurines they dressed up and promenaded around town ?
18:06 mircea_popescu 1817 sicilians still did it as in 817 and 183 bc. traditional society, which means, they don't change THE FORMS of the stupidity. still dumb as rocks.
18:06 asciilifeform that redditus is dumb-as-rock is beyond dispute
18:06 asciilifeform q was whether less-losable btc 'floats all boats' or not.
18:06 mircea_popescu not that part is in contention. but that this has NEVER changed, nor ever will.
18:07 mircea_popescu some are born to endless night, and just as many today as ever.
18:07 mircea_popescu asciilifeform less-losable btc does not float all boats, in the exact manner public school literacy doesn't float all boats ; or "Everyone learns lisp" floats all boats.
18:07 mircea_popescu you'll just have a larger load of idiots.
18:08 asciilifeform if that means a 500k-usd btc, what's the problem ?
18:08 asciilifeform let the idiots do what they are good at -- being meat
18:09 mircea_popescu consider the case of mehmed and alt-mehmed. now, mehmed has the historically accurate cannons which 4% of the time blow up and kill some servants. whereas alt-murat has the imaginary alt-cannons which still 4% of the time blow up naturally, and also include a "blow up" button, which, if depressed, 4% of the time blows up in the same way.
18:10 mircea_popescu would you propose a transition from alt-mehmed to mehmed would improve the soldiery quality of the turkish janissary ?
18:10 asciilifeform waitasec -- where does alt-murat come in
18:10 mircea_popescu "less blowable cannons" yes ?
18:10 asciilifeform ( i read ' mehmet, alt-murat, and aht-mehmet '
18:10 asciilifeform )
18:10 asciilifeform *alt
18:10 mircea_popescu sorry mehmet throughout
18:10 asciilifeform aite
18:11 asciilifeform is this a case of 'we have packaged the defective transistors separately!' ?
18:11 mircea_popescu quite.
18:11 mircea_popescu the notion that the price of btc / the fall of constantinople / etc hjave anything to do with this is so much lulz.
18:11 mircea_popescu the dollar at sub bitcent per thousand or per trillion has nothing to do with what the idiots do or what happens to the idiots.
18:12 asciilifeform as it is it is the sane-but-humble folx ( who understand that their winblowz box does not make a reasonable btctron, but haven't 20yrs to live life again to make something else ) who are pushed away. i dun see the win.
18:12 mircea_popescu what matters is whether there's one lord or ten assassinating usg drones etc. not random joe blow. not AT ALL.
18:12 mircea_popescu asciilifeform the win is that we don't support them.
18:13 mircea_popescu consider the sad case of djb to see the great win of NOT wasting your resources.
18:13 asciilifeform i dun see the win in the inca getting whatever remains of their labour
18:13 mircea_popescu moreover, your model veers dangerously close to "sane but poor". there is no such thing as "respectable poor". the poor are scum. substantially.
18:13 mircea_popescu if they wish to cease being scum, let them get off windows or w/e.
18:14 mircea_popescu asciilifeform because their labour is worthj a negative sum of money.
18:15 asciilifeform i dun see this universal. consider (they exist) a skilled surgeon, willing to work 'off the books' for btc but he HASN'T the 20yrs to get off winblowz.
18:15 mircea_popescu you understand this ? "opening" code so that blackchixcode can "contribute" "their" ideas is not improving the code. it's actually introducing a cost, of the magnitude of running a free buffett for crack whores.
18:15 mircea_popescu asciilifeform fuck him.
18:15 diana_coman asciilifeform, the sane-but-humble folx you speak of simply ask nicely and humbly someone who knows better and gather around those rather than "being pushed away"
18:15 asciilifeform i dun see the 'opening of code' here
18:15 mircea_popescu asciilifeform great surgeon makes as good a harem slave as any other pole dancer.
18:16 trinque were in rome, eh?
18:16 mircea_popescu we're in rome.
18:16 asciilifeform how many surgeons with 20y of handwork in mircea_popescu's harem ?
18:16 mircea_popescu asciilifeform this is not an argument. so the surgeon you speak of is either inexistent or too dumb for his own good. what of it ?
18:16 asciilifeform there's plenty. they're 50+y.o. d00dz ~without exception.
18:17 mircea_popescu let them learn teh brass tacks.
18:17 mircea_popescu there's no way out of this. there will NEVER be such a thing as respectable poverty. it's called slavery, and the poor that aren't slaves are in open rebellion against god, nature, and everything good right and proper.
18:17 mircea_popescu plus ginger and spices.
18:18 diana_coman my understanding is that asciilifeform talks basically of those who are too old to keep up, pretty much
18:18 mircea_popescu there's no saving the arbitrarily old.
18:18 mircea_popescu there never was. let them take the tsar's portrait to their grave and that'll be an end to that.
18:19 asciilifeform i wasn't even speaking of ~saving~ them, lol. but of the notion that their usd piles could end up in btc market rather than going back to inca so he can pantsuitate.
18:19 mircea_popescu the limit to the capital outflows is not the "individual" decisions of the incans lmao.
18:19 mircea_popescu you imagine this is how it fucking works ?!
18:19 asciilifeform as it presently stands, their usd and whatever negotiables, go to inca, just as surely as the mains current goes back into socket
18:20 mircea_popescu i don't believe this view to be factually supported.

18:22 asciilifeform let there be 0.
18:22 mircea_popescu you understand that "inca" is not a thing, yes ?
18:22 asciilifeform nope
18:22 mircea_popescu ah then that's the core of the dispute.
18:22 mircea_popescu let's consider the following lived experience :
18:23 asciilifeform inca is very much a thing -- same thing as the nazi guard who keeps 5000 penned in with schmeisser with just 100 rounds in it
18:23 mircea_popescu at time t (=9th grade) all girls in "community" found themselves in agreement sucking cock is gross. at time t' (=12 grade) all girls in "community" found themselves in agreement only peasant girls don't suck the cock.
18:23 mircea_popescu we shall here call the ideology at time t "inca" and at t' "tmsr".
18:24 mircea_popescu now. what exactly can inca "confiscate" and why ?
18:24 asciilifeform the gurlz are neither here nor there, may just as easily say that 'they were formerly in agreement to be 1.5metres tall, then agreed to be 1.8'
18:24 mircea_popescu aha!
18:25 mircea_popescu inca can't confiscate jack, lol.
18:25 asciilifeform tell that to the folx (e.g. the soldiers paid the iraq bonus, that was retro-cancelled recently) with the 0'd bank accts, marched from 'their' house under guard, etc
18:26 mircea_popescu i am telling!
18:26 mircea_popescu don't deal with inca, lol, it's all dust!
18:27 asciilifeform the gold bar that inca can't take off your corpse, is called btc
18:27 mircea_popescu your idea is very feminine, you know, "i met this crook, and he told me ia cu mustar mimisor ca face bine la ten and that he'll marry me. so i imagined myself practically married. and then he didn't marry me. so he confiscated my marriedness!"
18:27 mircea_popescu what is this, being blonde ?
18:28 asciilifeform i dun follow
18:28 mircea_popescu the whole "inca promise is liquidated when made and therefore when not kept it is confiscation not scamming" is pretty lulzy.
18:28 mircea_popescu asciilifeform nothing was confiscated because there was nothing THEY HAD!
18:29 mircea_popescu if i promise you a talking donkey and a cunt on your forehead in 2020, and you don't get them, this means i confiscated a talking donkey and a forehead cunt ?
18:29 asciilifeform describing usd as a 'unit of nothing' is a stretch
18:30 asciilifeform today it buys various.
18:30 mircea_popescu describing the masturbation of units of nothing as "buying something" is a stretch.
18:30 asciilifeform ( for historical reasons, but they will take a while to go away, reichsmarks circulated in the late '40s still )
18:31 mircea_popescu and you know i'm right, because soviet distributed goods in the exact same manner, and ppl... didn't "pay" units of nothing for them. and this had no impact whatsoever.
18:32 asciilifeform goods not distributed in a lolmart ( e.g. fg factory run ) still denominated in usd.
18:32 mircea_popescu and you further know i'm right because you're welcome to "buy" the 3 ring binder they have, not the computer you want.
18:32 asciilifeform the cost of wanted-computer is still in usd. sadly.
18:32 mircea_popescu only cuz that's how you think.
18:33 mircea_popescu the little nigerian girl dreaming of a flying pony, barefoot under the banana tree may well be denominated in fucking pula for all it matters.
18:33 asciilifeform it is how the raw material suppliers think. i, working with hands, am not at liberty to get on the atomic dirigible of dreams and think entirely differently.
18:33 mircea_popescu it is very much not how they think, but it is how they speak.
18:33 asciilifeform mircea_popescu is welcome to convince'em that a btc is worth 100x the units it presently buys. i'll clap.
18:34 mircea_popescu mircea_popescu amusingly has. nsa made the worst deal in history by you know, buying parts and then trying to sell them as a result.
18:34 mircea_popescu iirc we bought them when dollar was 10x.
18:34 asciilifeform in this light, doing anything whatsoever other than 'hodling' is raw deal.
18:35 asciilifeform ( and btc would then live up to the reputation as strictly pyramidal cock-pulling adventure )
18:35 mircea_popescu yes. but that's not under dispute, the "convince them" part is. they were convinced, and it didn't even take that much in terms of machine gun chains.
18:36 asciilifeform lol
18:37 mircea_popescu fortunately, there's no kako-nubbins party to argue that hey, as btc price is chiefly supported by the republic, which has a lot to do with mp, it is therefore mp's job to idemnify "the users" as imagined by kako-nubbins for "this loss" resulting from his you know, unauthorized use of resources for purposes not priorly reported to the almightyly important kako-nubbins party!
18:37 asciilifeform that 'philosophy' never really made sense to asciilifeform , even from psychiatric pov -- coin is owner's to blow as he feels like
18:38 asciilifeform shouldn't take much brain, to grasp this
18:38 mircea_popescu no but we're all under a discreet obligation to promote the herdemocracy! everything else is theft and corruption and racism and so on!
18:39 asciilifeform but hey, if mircea_popescu gets haetmail for not propping up btc to 1mil obummerbux per, asciilifeform gets 'you suck, why not derived constanttime gcd yet' , wonder what other folx get
18:39 mircea_popescu anyway, rolling back up this many branched loop : there is nothing to be gained by mentally denominating capital in uniform standard dosidoes, nor by mentally denominating labour in redditard.
18:40 mircea_popescu because usd doesan't buy you anything you actually want ; and redditard can't make anything you actually want.
18:40 mircea_popescu yes they buy and make some things. this is of the nature and substance of clouds.
18:40 asciilifeform take redditard as a container -- why shouldn't however many 'tidebux' he has squirreled away, chase scarce btc in market ?
18:40 mircea_popescu because he hasn't.
18:40 asciilifeform most have > 0 .
18:41 mircea_popescu why shouldn't whatever spare cycles his brain has be used to improve tmsr-rsa ?
18:41 asciilifeform ( many fewer than they think -- but >0 )
18:41 mircea_popescu because... he doesn't have any!
18:41 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: not valid comparison
18:41 asciilifeform brain cycle ain't cumulative
18:41 asciilifeform gold is.
18:41 mircea_popescu asciilifeform your notion of money is broken in that you misunderstand its materiality.
18:41 mircea_popescu goldbug looks at bar of gold, thinks "value here", you look at benjie think "value here". this is however not so, capital is an abstract not a concrete item.
18:42 asciilifeform mno i get it , on mars it dun buy nuffin
18:42 mircea_popescu not even that, mars.
18:42 asciilifeform but we are not (yet) on mars.
18:42 asciilifeform though approaching rapidly.
18:42 mircea_popescu let us look into this more productively :
18:42 mircea_popescu consider : 1. large corporation, worth 1 trillion. analyst expected profit year end is 75 billion. company beats, makes 76 billion.
18:43 mircea_popescu 2. small start-up, worth 1 million. analyst expected profit year end is -300k. company beats, makes 999 bn 999 million 700k.
18:44 mircea_popescu both these items made the same unexpected billion. nevertheless, in the case of 1 this will be discounted to about a third of its value, resulting in minor share appreciation c.p.
18:44 mircea_popescu whereas in case 2 it will be put at so massively a premium so as to make 2 stock outstanding worth more than 1's.
18:45 mircea_popescu this is because the "same" money is discounted on the basis of "in whose hands it finds itself" -- the 1 people are expected to lose most of it under couch cushions ; the 2 people are expected to take over the world with that scrawny one billion.
18:45 mircea_popescu see the logic ?
18:45 mircea_popescu money is not material.
18:45 asciilifeform 2 would be seen as 'swan' or how did it go, and is not in same class and dun go in same sentence as 1
18:45 mircea_popescu FOR THE REASON that the implicit discount on its money is different.
18:45 mircea_popescu or in the immortal words of some schmuck, "nah. if i give you 50k now i'm wasting it".
18:47 mircea_popescu http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-18#1700435 << i mean "999.7 mn" obviously. they both make the same.
18:47 a111 Logged on 2017-08-18 22:43 mircea_popescu: 2. small start-up, worth 1 million. analyst expected profit year end is -300k. company beats, makes 999 bn 999 million 700k.
18:47 asciilifeform no i get it
18:47 mircea_popescu cool.
18:48 mircea_popescu the only reason everyday joe doesn't encounter capital discounts is because a) too small and b) too stupid. otherwise even someone running a small video rental comprehends the difference between accounts receivable depending on from whom, and so on.
18:49 mircea_popescu whjole fucking point of investing, at least in the buffett understanding of it (apolitical, or in his case naively copacetic-political, columbia floating over farmer drawn hills) is to identify the corps with the most favourable capital discounts and to buy those while selling their opposites.
18:50 asciilifeform identify / create, neh
18:51 mircea_popescu obviously the burlington discussion is very much apropos here : http://trilema.com/2015/so-im-going-to-be-a-total-asshole-for-a-moment-here/#selection-921.0-929.476
18:51 mircea_popescu the important parts : spent 200 per share to go from 60 to... 68.
18:52 asciilifeform or the 'what's the roi of a tank battallion' thread
18:52 mircea_popescu that's a 96% discount on capital.
18:52 mircea_popescu asciilifeform well no, tank batallion is a different story. this is a textile maker, it has no further productive externalities than what it gets for cloth
18:53 asciilifeform same dynamic though, qualitatively -- once you have no textile production capacity, you're stuck in the comical position of trying to buy own uniform from the enemy
18:53 asciilifeform ( where, incidentally, is american uniform made ? )
18:53 mircea_popescu now you understand why inca is no actual problem, nor its redditards worth courting.
18:57 asciilifeform i still think the current wallet state-of-art to be a ridiculous thing.
18:57 mircea_popescu no argument there.

19:09 mod6 <+asciilifeform> in this light, doing anything whatsoever other than 'hodling' is raw deal. << there are exceptions
19:10 mod6 but mostly, the savings rate far exceeds the yield of capatal allocation; which is obvious. and will stay that way for sometime as fiats -> 0. someday, that'll be different.
19:20 mircea_popescu seems to be obvious and necessarily true, iunasmuch as bitcoin has 100% of the world savings market share and about a millionth of a percent of the world capital allocation market share.
19:21 mircea_popescu just like if on an imaginary island you had a farm that produced all the milk but none of the meat, the return would be mostly in milk and not much in meat.

22:20 mircea_popescu aww
22:23 Birdman so i went through and deleted all the tournaments cause those are not relevant, and i got seemingly different results. I think maybe its displaying less than all the hands it has found? i only saw four cash game hands the first time, deleted all the tournaments, and now i see a ton of cash game hands
22:23 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: sacked

22:24 Birdman and if im not mistaken it lists the player who is missing in the summary and will list the same hand twice to show if another player was missing in same hand so that extra fat that could be trimmed but im not asking you to fine tune this or anything lol, thoughts on it maybe not showing all results for lack of space of something?
22:25 mircea_popescu what do you mean lack of space.
22:25 mike_c doubt it. how many hands does it say it processed?
22:25 mike_c and how many did it say before you pulled the tournament files?
22:26 asciilifeform the 1 quasi-earnest d00d -- sacked
22:27 Birdman bit over 26k and before a bit under 30k, also i think this guy's hand history is amazingly fragmented in a ton of spots so im trying to get a more solid chunk of data to run it on
22:27 asciilifeform served his purpose
22:27 Birdman alot of these hands are missing the summary in general
22:27 mircea_popescu asciilifeform aha, old man went in on a ticket of no-compromise, compromised errythang.

22:31 mike_c seems like it's working to me :) here's without the player names: http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/LsriU/?raw=true
22:33 Birdman it seems to me that the bug im looking for is most likely to appear in hands processed that aren't sequential as the sequential ones are most likely entirely fragmented and the ones with only one player missing are the ones im most likely looking for
22:33 mircea_popescu lol Birdman 's got a consultancy bidniss almost going ?
22:34 Birdman not sequential, i mean the ones that repeat the hand number
22:35 mike_c um, not following. but you're saying you want to see the ones that are only missing one player?

22:35 Birdman yeah something like that, trying to get it to filter out the corrupted hands from the hands with the bug im looking for
22:35 Birdman but to be honest its probably good to have the corrupted hands to be able to request them from the server
22:36 mike_c 4,412 of the 5,013 bad hands are only missing one player
22:37 Birdman you only got ~5k bad hands? im getting 25k
22:37 mike_c run the updated version I gave you and tell me all 3 numbers (processed, bad, files)
22:38 Birdman ah ok one moment
22:41 Birdman 262953 / 4914 / 3966 respectively, after i deleted all tournaments from the histories
22:42 mike_c ok, so 4,914 bad hands
22:42 Birdman which i did by searching through with "T1" cause tournaments all start with that and no cash games would
22:42 Birdman yes
22:43 mike_c well, seems like 80% of those are only going to be missing one player, so filtering by that won't help you
22:44 mike_c give me an example of a hand you're *not* interested in.
