00:02 mats_cd03 what am i looking at
00:03 BingoBoingo Fuck it, might as well get a boat
00:03 mp_colonist mats_cd03, recall supposed 3 boobs chick ?
00:03 mats_cd03 oh... chick is in fact man?
00:03 BingoBoingo mats_cd03: No, chick just wants mtv show
00:04 mats_cd03 otherwise it would be one prosthesis instead of three?
00:04 decimation I like kings wallowing in the beast's mouth
00:04 mats_cd03 hrm.
00:04 mp_colonist chick complained someone stole her 3 boob prosthetic last year
00:05 mp_colonist BingoBoingo: bounce: There's too many razors to keep them all straight << hidden straight razor joke ?
00:06 mats_cd03 http://nydailynews.com/life-style/florida-woman-breast-hoax-article-1.1949712 this one huh?
00:06 assbot Three-breasted Florida woman Jasmine Tridevil insists third boob is real, but police report shows she once lost 'prosthesis' - NY Daily News
00:06 BingoBoingo mp_colonist: Nah, they make more interesting cuts when unfurled from bent
00:06 mp_colonist mats_cd03, and of course they cite no source rite ?
00:07 BingoBoingo mats_cd03: She also accused a stranger of assaulting her in a bar without evidence and was forced to drop it. To terrafoam and Vitamin H with her.
00:07 mats_cd03 god shes ugly
00:08 mp_colonist mats_cd03, she's not ugly, she's a masseuse.
00:08 mats_cd03 should've had work done on her face if she wanted to be on mtv
00:08 mats_cd03 " Well, I am crazy," she told the "The News Junkie" show. "Crazy people don't know they are crazy, so technically since I know I'm crazy I'm not crazy." saved
00:09 mp_colonist i am not crazy because of my deep seated belief that what i say alters what is and therefore i can't be crazy rite guise ?
00:10 asciilifeform mp_colonist: https://www.uwgb.edu/dutchs/PSEUDOSC/21CMagic.HTM << obligatory
00:10 assbot 21st Century Magic
00:10 BingoBoingo mp_colonist: I do much of the same, but parts of what I do don't influence reality.
00:11 * asciilifeform not enamoured with dutch's examples specifically - but his formula is sound.
00:11 mp_colonist asciilifeform: 'new gurlz in [electron beam] lithography'
00:11 mp_colonist i swear i'm reading for hte pictures.
00:12 mats_cd03 asciilifeform: you have a bookmarks file with 5000 entries, or you just consult the google?
00:12 asciilifeform mats_cd03: usually, brain and a little google.
00:12 mats_cd03 me - I'm working on the bookmarks.
00:13 * asciilifeform used to have bookmarks, then the world froze and they burned in.
00:14 mp_colonist asciilifeform, i dont get it, why wouldnt wa fix bug ?
00:14 asciilifeform wait which ?
00:14 asciilifeform aha that one
00:14 mp_colonist ya
00:15 BingoBoingo So, *crazy idea* thinking about taking volunteer or part time work with the local ,public, library.
00:15 asciilifeform mp_colonist: perhaps out of spite. they flew sales-muppets to my lab hoping i'd buy a mega-cluster's worth of licenses. i didn;t.
00:16 mp_colonist uh
00:16 asciilifeform so from their point of view i was probably the same kind of ruffian as the mac demo audiences from that other link.
00:16 mp_colonist what sort of spite is this, "i won't clean the spinach between my teeth out of spite because you didn't buy me a ring" ?
00:16 asciilifeform that very same.
00:16 mats_cd03 BingoBoingo: what sort of work would you be doing?
00:17 mp_colonist BingoBoingo, what is supposed to be crazy about being at a desk ?
00:17 BingoBoingo <mp_colonist> what sort of spite is this, "i won't clean the spinach between my teeth out of spite because you didn't buy me a ring" ? << Dangerous game, folates encourage bacteria and mycellium
00:18 BingoBoingo mp_colonist: just the part where I resign myself to positions the high school students hold, and the part where they still might favor the HS students for it.
00:18 mp_colonist so crazy = lazy ?
00:18 decimation BingoBoingo: why not work for the library in exchange for money?
00:19 asciilifeform mp_colonist: i did sign off on ~7kBez worth of wolframiana. but did not expect the same level of fellatio as the folks who we paid 40k/seat. and got what expected.
00:19 mp_colonist JuliaTourianski: +BingoBoingo hhaha just someone said to me she's "penetrating the btc scene" so I figured I should probably know of her if that's the case << so much derpage srsly. you need better friends.
00:19 asciilifeform *from the folks who we padi
00:19 asciilifeform *paid
00:20 BingoBoingo mp_colonist: It could, last year. This year though... less notable retards to need to build dossiers on so practical.
00:20 mp_colonist penetrating the scene what is this, mtv
00:20 mp_colonist decimation, try and guess.
00:20 BingoBoingo <decimation> BingoBoingo: why not work for the library in exchange for money? << Managing paper is a dying niche
00:21 asciilifeform mp_colonist: i am very glad they did not fix. relying on black box turd for a critical piece of mechanics was stupid, and it was necessary to pay with suffering for it (did.)
00:21 asciilifeform education!
00:22 mp_colonist asciilifeform, you know, this strikes me as kinda silly. a la restaurant that will mistreat customers ordering $7 worth of coffee because they didn't buy $40 worth of pizza or w/e
00:22 asciilifeform mp_colonist: wolfram corp. is quite unlike a restaurant
00:22 decimation mp_colonist: this is standard behavior among us 'tech' companies
00:22 asciilifeform in that most of their revenue comes from 'whales.'
00:23 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 25700 @ 0.00074971 = 19.2675 BTC [-] {2}
00:23 mp_colonist so restaurant's revenue comes from people who eat out.
00:23 mp_colonist most people don't.
00:24 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: So Wolfram is an event caterer
00:24 decimation right, but in a restaurant you don't have one guy who eats 80% of the food and everyone else eats peanuts
00:25 mp_colonist kinda how it works in egypt yeah
00:25 BingoBoingo <decimation> right, but in a restaurant you don't have one guy who eats 80% of the food and everyone else eats peanuts << Not undeard of
00:25 mp_colonist guys inside eat the food, buncha derps outside eat peanuts
00:25 asciilifeform i linked to the film not because anything in it is new (the maniac renamed the product after himself, for no reason, but this is uninteresting) but to demonstrate a genuine monopoly product
00:25 asciilifeform where he could easily ask most of the hardcore users to suck his cock as a condition of license renewal - and many would.
00:26 decimation zooming out further, probably more than 90% of the revenue for wolfram comes from usg
00:26 decimation either directly or indirectly
00:27 mp_colonist asciilifeform, wouldn't last long. this cock sucking thing... truth is, the penis doens't last too long even to normal copulatory friction. saliva is digestive.
00:27 asciilifeform decimation: my operation was 100% usg.
00:28 mp_colonist try having your pecker in a mouth four a few hours a day for a few days and see what sore truely means
00:28 asciilifeform mp_colonist: proverbial adamantine indestructible cock.
00:28 mp_colonist o so you can't feel anything ?
00:28 mp_colonist have them suck your desk legs
00:28 decimation or a statue of yourself
00:28 asciilifeform that's more or less what he does.
00:28 asciilifeform most of the humiliation serves no immediate purpose
00:28 BingoBoingo mp_colonist> try having your pecker in a mouth four a few hours a day for a few days and see what sore truely means << Wasn't this limiting factor discussed this spring?
00:28 asciilifeform beyond it being there on tap when necessary.
00:28 BingoBoingo !s digested penis
00:28 assbot 1 results for 'digested penis' : http://search.bitcoin-assets.com/?q=digested+penis
00:29 mp_colonist so we're at the point in hipster evolution where cute rebel late hs chicks misrepresent themselves as associated with us for the benefit of w/e cute boy named ethan ?
00:29 JuliaTourianski +mp_colonist ahhaah truth
00:29 mp_colonist i feel like the bodymod people
00:29 mp_colonist it's a sad feeling.
00:29 asciilifeform (forget 'w. alpha', it's a clown show) mathematica - is example of a product for which not even a vaguely passable (to aficionado) alternative exists, at any price point
00:29 mp_colonist BingoBoingo, possibly.
00:30 mp_colonist asciilifeform, am i stupid or why i never used it ?
00:30 asciilifeform mp_colonist: it only became interesting after ver. 6 or so.
00:30 asciilifeform !up mp_colonist
00:30 Dimsler lol
00:30 mp_colonist so what am i missing out on ?
00:30 BingoBoingo mp_colonist: Apparently there was at least a hint of the discussion http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-04-2014#618044
00:30 assbot Logged on 11-04-2014 18:39:14; mircea_popescu: my penis is half digested by all the saliva
00:31 mp_colonist BingoBoingo, only goes to show i speak with ht eweight of experience.
00:31 asciilifeform i was always too lazy to answer this question (and don't fancy getting folks addicted, i laboured under abject druggie hell from it) but the film exists now
00:31 asciilifeform to answer this question, for those who really are certain they wish to know.
00:31 mp_colonist i am certainly not watching any films
00:31 mp_colonist even if it had tits.
00:31 asciilifeform it's herr w. showing screen captures.
00:32 mp_colonist i just hate the format. fucking visual thinkers psssshhh. sinners.
00:32 decimation from my experience the other competing program is 'matlab'
00:32 asciilifeform decimation: not even remotely the same.
00:32 mp_colonist so then also q ?
00:32 mp_colonist or r or s or w/e
00:33 asciilifeform decimation: of course, users of 'matlab' will say 'sure! we're same.' -- like 'glbse' vs 'mpex'...
00:34 mats_cd03 now thats a zinger
00:34 mp_colonist asciilifeform, can you put the difference in twelve words ?
00:35 decimation asciilifeform: yeah you are right of course. matlab has a 'symbolic' toolbox but the actual programming language is not the same at all

00:36 asciilifeform that isn't really a complete picture.
00:36 asciilifeform but herr w. isn't paying me to create addicts. i'm almost sorry i mentioned it...
00:37 mp_colonist not judging it, just curious.
00:37 asciilifeform must really be seen to be understood.
00:37 decimation matlab is the de facto standard for dsp development
00:37 mp_colonist exactly. not my kinda thing
00:37 asciilifeform decimation: classic vendor lock-in. disgusting turd.
00:37 decimation I prototype using matlab, but I find the 'index starts at 1' fortranism enraging
00:38 asciilifeform decimation: university labs are given a 'complete package' with instrument libraries, etc.; students forced to use.
00:38 decimation yeah that's pretty much what I encoutered
00:38 asciilifeform ascii input & output, terrible for any real mathematical work
00:38 decimation the only real symbolic math packing I've seen folks use is 'maple'
00:38 asciilifeform another 'glbse'
00:39 decimation yeah, also with ascii in & out
00:39 * asciilifeform did not exhume this item to praise 'mathematica' but to bury it - it's an example of something everybody else should have copied and used as permanent baseline for anything new, like kalashnikov.
00:39 asciilifeform but instead - monopoly.
00:40 asciilifeform (as discussed re: apple, here http://www.loper-os.org/?p=132 )
00:40 assbot Loper OS » Non-Apple’s Mistake
00:40 decimation I agree from my limited experience with mathematica that its graphical 'repl' is unique
00:40 decimation and highly pleasing for symbolic math
00:40 asciilifeform bury the fscking turds. viagra exists, do we need penis vacuums and stinging beetles in cups ?
00:40 asciilifeform venomous ants, to get it up ?
00:41 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: As survivor of the soviet system and pending survivor of the Americunt system... WHy does Velveeta come in block, shredded and sliced forms???
00:41 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: ussr was innocent of velveeta.
00:41 * asciilifeform has never had the pleasure of actually tasting this 'marvel.'
00:42 * asciilifeform would rather boil his belt & accordion than eat it.
00:42 decimation asciilifeform: unlike mathematica, at least 'octave' exists
00:43 decimation there's no 'open source mimic' of mathematica, which would be the first step toward improvement I should think
00:43 asciilifeform decimation: the question of why no 'octave'-like clone exists for mathematica, is not uninteresting
00:43 asciilifeform and probably has bearing on the fundamental pathologies of what we call 'open source.'
00:43 mp_colonist https://www.uwgb.edu/dutchs/PSEUDOSC/21CMagic.HTM << this thing for the record is atrociously bad
00:43 assbot 21st Century Magic
00:43 asciilifeform bad but obligatory.
00:43 mp_colonist about on par with a sex treatise by a typical 17 yo
00:44 asciilifeform mp_colonist: dutch is the same guy who did the symmetry-groups thing. he has an astonishing spectrum of strange.
00:44 decimation I suspect a major part of the motivation for 'matlab clone' is that young programmers have matlab stuff down their throats, as explained above
00:44 mp_colonist "metaphisics by [dubious] scientists - we've not figured anything positive on our own so here's what we got to say about a whole subject we never formally studied"
00:44 asciilifeform decimation: they sure do.
00:44 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Was curious if SSR had same dairy afliction as SSA
00:44 decimation then find that they can't afford the license fee when they want to buy it with their lunch money
00:44 mp_colonist he is sorely out of his deph
00:44 mp_colonist th.
00:44 asciilifeform mp_colonist: write to him! dollars to doughnuts, he'll have an interesting answer.
00:45 mp_colonist i might, but the problem is that he's attacking a high level problem and lacks the basics
00:45 decimation whereas most users of mathematica probably go out of their way (rejecting alternatives) to buy a license (using usg's money of course)
00:45 mp_colonist so he fights with utterly reductionist meaninglessness, to discover it's meaningless
00:46 asciilifeform mp_colonist: the man is a geologist (as far as i can judge - a good one) and an amateur scholar of crackpottery. no pretenses at being a monumental philosopher.
00:46 mp_colonist well the pretense is in the pudding.
00:46 mp_colonist tell me this : how come he doesn't include an ydiscussion of the notion of number, or sphere in there ?
00:46 asciilifeform 'picked up the piece - move.' yes.
00:46 mp_colonist they're JUST AS "magical" as the examples he gives.
00:46 mp_colonist why not ? why the blindspot ?
00:47 mp_colonist ah, because you gotta know how to carpent to not end up hammering your finger "accidentally" and "because you didn't see it" ?
00:47 asciilifeform mp_colonist: clearly 'platonist' - thinks that particular bit of magic 'works when you plug it in.'
00:47 mp_colonist mkay.
00:47 mp_colonist he's not a platonist inasmuch as he's not read or understood plato
00:47 mp_colonist you can't be a mpist just because my beard gives you a hardon
00:47 asciilifeform lower-case-p
00:48 * asciilifeform dusts off 'shift' key
00:48 decimation one hypothesis of the 'open source community' based on this evidence: far more motivated to imitate mediocrity than invent unique & interesting
00:48 mp_colonist everyone with this pedestrian "oh magic derp". who the fuck of all these would be scientists actually understands, not in the sense of has-read-frege-and-so-on, but in the sense of has sat down an hour quietly to think on the subject - who i say understands numbers ?
00:49 asciilifeform decimation: this might actually go straight to mp's piece about good knight/conqueror and good father being different animals

00:54 asciilifeform decimation: easy one. he'd sail off, rape, pillage.
00:54 asciilifeform never touch computer.
00:54 decimation lol yeah
00:54 mp_colonist maybe he'd troll alibaba for rape memorabilia ?
00:55 asciilifeform at most.
00:55 mp_colonist then not pay for it.
00:55 decimation I suspect that it would be hard to convince mr. Haakon that money was not gold
00:56 mp_colonist decimation, he prolly would understand current money as an extension of "honor"
00:56 mp_colonist not as money.
00:57 asciilifeform mp_colonist: he would also immediately grasp the present situation as 'nithlings' ('pederasts' to russian prisoner, ??? to english) took control and force people to behave as if they were people and their honour had weight
00:57 decimation mp_colonist: that's an interesting thought, you are probably right. it also makes the actions of the west w.r.t. money obviously 'dishonorable'
00:59 mp_colonist decimation, i think more along asciilifeform's idea. nothing but weakness.
00:59 * BingoBoingo actually believes Alibaba could be that big measured in Fiats
00:59 decimation thus, rape & pillage the dishonorable
00:59 mp_colonist dishonor is a different category, in that it's an affliction of the strong.
00:59 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Greeks in English
01:00 mp_colonist decimation, you can't burn fuel in an atmosphere of fuel.
01:00 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: nope.
01:00 mp_colonist and there's no one man raiding parties.
01:00 mp_colonist so... prolly not.
01:00 decimation so he would perceive these 'pederasts' as non-people, too weak to even have honor.
01:00 asciilifeform dishonour on a nithling is like a papercut on a flayed corpse
01:00 mp_colonist ^
01:00 asciilifeform 'not a number'
01:00 mp_colonist he'd prolly try and leave
01:01 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: The classic Spartans behing the boarding schools, not the historical greeks
01:01 asciilifeform !up mp_colonist
01:01 mp_colonist actually this could be a decent counterpart to svjek story, "rothgar the barbarian in modern day malmo".
01:01 mp_colonist sorta document his mishaps trying to gtfo.
01:01 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: not them, either. afaik the translation of russian prison 'pederast' to engl. is 'punk' ('nonce' in british world ?? ) ?
01:01 mp_colonist pity there's no jerome k jerome extant to write it
01:02 mp_colonist asciilifeform, punk works. it denotes an unintentionally submissive, younger gay man.
01:02 mp_colonist just people tend to pretend they don't know this.
01:02 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Such ananlogues exist, the Jerry sanduskies. The disconnect is in the lazy dictionaries
01:02 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: there is a ritual, in a great many cultures, whereby a miscreant (not necessarily inclined to be buggered originally) is 'lowered into pederasty' - normally as a punishment
01:02 asciilifeform but possibly as result of a 'loss of maleness' event of some category

01:05 asciilifeform (they're 'victorian' gentlemen by comparison)

01:07 BingoBoingo decimation> so perhaps the analogy is something like how cortez would have perceived the aztecs, derpy pagan losers who had a 'civilization' that fell to his merry band << Cortex succeeded in pressingneighbor against neighbor
01:07 asciilifeform the question that almost begs to be asked is whether haakon (cortez, whoever) would immediately seize upon modern tech as being the product of long-dead wizards, as it is.
01:07 decimation heh yeah "tech-men"
01:08 asciilifeform if yes - modern world gets arse drilled out several sizes up.
01:08 BingoBoingo Cortez? who knows, his first officer, probably
01:09 mp_colonist asciilifeform, i doubt these are similar from any other pov than your own.
01:09 mp_colonist to them themselves, you prolly look closer to the other than they
01:11 * asciilifeform has no pretenses of ability to look human to cortez, haakon, -- or even a man like isambard brunel, bridge-builder.
01:12 mp_colonist in any case this civ outlook, with phenomenology as a problem to be solved is entirely new.
01:13 mp_colonist they had fun in different ways, and subscribed to different priors
01:13 asciilifeform they had fun in different ways << to the naked eye - seem similar ways ?
01:13 BingoBoingo phenomenology as its own prior seems a distinctly French/German affliction
01:15 mp_colonist asciilifeform, if you see a woman moaning can you tell if she's having an orgasm ?
01:15 mp_colonist fun's an interior matter.
01:16 asciilifeform but, positing the fun (vs a taxidermic skin of fun) you can catalogue observables.
01:16 asciilifeform e.g. she is sitting on a sharp stake. (probably was not inserted by request) - so perhaps not having fun
01:16 asciilifeform (or, or...)
01:17 mp_colonist nah, im cataloguing the implications of context

01:17 mp_colonist "a trained whore with five years' brothel experience would never etc etc"
01:17 mp_colonist "this 16yo mormon girl has just for the first time encountered and is trying to make sense of"
01:18 asciilifeform with five years' brothel experience << '3 ani experienta' !
01:19 mp_colonist take haakon and cortez. one is part of a tradition reflective of the edda.

12:49 mircea_popescu but the cream of the crop of computer monkeys ? how. why.
12:50 kakobrekla a plumber destroyed my friends house last month.
12:50 mircea_popescu DHCP clients invoke shell scripts to configure the system, with values taken from a potentially malicious server. This would allow arbitrary commands to be run, typically as root, on the DHCP client machine.
12:50 nubbins` it's like showing up at richard branson's house and the hot&cold taps are reversed
12:51 kakobrekla liek 30k of damage and insurance is fighting to pay cause 'these things happen'.

12:59 mircea_popescu Duffer1 i have nfi what is this again ?
12:59 Duffer1 lol awesome
12:59 kakobrekla i figured it out though
13:00 Duffer1 some tool bet 1btc on bitbet after the outcome was known, then tried to use the blockchain to say he bet in time, got refunded .99btc, then had some bitsurant derp try to claim winnings
13:00 kakobrekla now cex and bitfinex has losing only assets and icbit wanted to have that too
13:00 kakobrekla so thats why they will now sell insurance on icbit
13:00 kakobrekla and sell it on bitsurant
13:01 kakobrekla to other party
13:01 mircea_popescu im confused.
13:01 mircea_popescu we're not seriously discussing a bitcent are we ?
13:01 kakobrekla should say issue insurance on bitsurant
13:01 Duffer1 yep

After some years, everything in his life was influenced, and p

16:08 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: thick cat is thick!
16:09 mircea_popescu Duffer1 people who know they're wasting their time/resources tend to engage in this bizarre rationalizing process whereby by reducing the expense their wasted effort is... less wasted ?
16:09 mircea_popescu i dunno
16:10 Duffer1 so it seems
16:10 asciilifeform wasted effort << what effort.
16:11 mircea_popescu asciilifeform kinda my point.
16:11 mircea_popescu that one's not even tried is a poor excuse for one having failed.
16:11 * asciilifeform puzzled
16:11 kakobrekla monkey see monkey do
16:11 mircea_popescu asciilifeform do you dispute some party somewhere is trying to advertise something there ?
16:11 asciilifeform aha that!
16:11 kakobrekla if it works - another matter.
16:11 * asciilifeform thought the thread was about trilema tokens
16:12 mircea_popescu "well you didn't manage" "well we didn't really try" "o i see"
16:12 mircea_popescu asciilifeform nah some derp with a 1 satoshi commented tx
16:12 asciilifeform bci is spam magnet, sure.
16:13 mircea_popescu jesus this is easily the most batshit insane stuff i've seen this week.
16:13 mircea_popescu "NYT: talented poor not choosing to attend good colleges"
16:13 mircea_popescu "But if, as the Times reports, these students do not even know of the existence of better colleges in America, and they have absolutely no aspiration to attend any schools that are outside their local area, how smart and talented could they be? They appear to have very small horizongs and little knowledge of and little curiosity in the world. Don’t very smart people tend to have large horizons?. My guess is that the
16:13 mircea_popescu Times is doing its usual rationalizations for the intellectual and other deficiencies of blacks. I did not read the entire article,but I’d say that it’s fair possibility that it ends up asserting that these students are culturally and geographically isolated by racial discrimination and by the lack of special federal programs that inform them of the existence of better schools. .The eternal top-priority project and
16:13 mircea_popescu moral obligation of Liberal America (America 2.0)—at unlimited cost in societal effort, taxpayers’ money, and orchestrated white guilt—is to render blacks in general as functional as whites in general. And that will never happen. And no one who makes his living in mainstream America dare say it.."
16:13 mircea_popescu but then, a commenter : "Daniel F. writes: I saw from Steve Sailer’s post on the same article that the low-income, high-aptitude cohort under discussion is 69 percent white and 15 percent Asian. So the large majority of the kids at issue are white."
16:13 mircea_popescu so the response ? "Thanks for the correction. But I wonder if that information was in the Times article (which, again, I didn’t read the whole of and was only making a reasonable speculation on, based on past Timesean behavor), or only in the Sailer post."
16:13 Duffer1 i wonder if i have to report that one bitcent i got from a scamvertiser as income...
16:14 mircea_popescu Duffer1 was 1 satoshi

19:11 asciilifeform 'soviet informatik' terminology like цикл (cycle) for 'loop' is, afaik, only remembered by the older folks who came of age on '70s-'80s books
19:11 asciilifeform (or apprenticed, prior)
19:13 mircea_popescu cycle happens to be a bad word for loop.
19:13 asciilifeform why? cyclical flow graph.
19:14 mircea_popescu because cycle has this connotation of immutability, whereas loop is adequately derpy.

21:53 peterl is it more likely that 2 million bitcoins will be bet on that bet or that the price of bitcoin will rise 1000x?
21:54 thestringpuller damn that would be a phenomenon of sorts
21:54 thestringpuller if the billion dollar bet resolves yes
21:54 thestringpuller the b-h will 99% likely resolve yes too

22:06 cazalla lol paypal increasing charge back period from 45 days to 180
22:07 cazalla so now cheeky cunts can mine for 180 days and send it back for refund
22:21 ben_vulpes <decimation> what intrigued me was the mention of the vlsi design software that was written in lisp << me too. has the source been lost?
22:22 decimation that was my question. the follow-up question being: does the vlsi design exist (presumably in vhdl)?
22:36 mircea_popescu peterl good q.
22:37 mircea_popescu day of the good q's
22:38 peterl I suppose the billion dollar bet could hit yes if btc/usd price and amount bet each go up ~30x
22:38 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 21900 @ 0.00075321 = 16.4953 BTC [+]
22:38 mircea_popescu a bet that was at 3k 6months out could conceivably end up in the 5-6 figures.
22:39 mircea_popescu esp if there's an upset
22:39 decimation really the bet is brillant pr. media idiots love far-off artificial deadlines with artificial drama
22:39 mircea_popescu not much love shown so far.
22:40 BingoBoingo The berkshire bet coul break 10k btc easily if BTC hits $700 in three months
22:40 decimation if the scenario that peterl proposes comes remotely true, I suspect it will get love
22:40 mircea_popescu now this im sure
22:41 mircea_popescu that's the thing, by now the action there is fabulous
22:44 BingoBoingo Fuck, there's still time for http://bitbet.us/bet/635/1btc-10-000-usd/ to get interesting which could really drive up the Berkshire pot
22:44 assbot BitBet - 1BTC >= $10,000 USD :: 75 B (9%) on Yes, 755.29 B (91%) on No | closing in 1 month 3 weeks | weight: 15`525 (100`000 to 1)
22:44 mircea_popescu if that yeses out... o boy.
22:44 mircea_popescu someone stands to make a cool mn or somethign.
22:44 BingoBoingo How quick did shit spike up last fall
22:45 mircea_popescu two weeks!
22:45 BingoBoingo Right. While $600 to $400 this years was what... one, two months? It Bitcoin the falls are long and labored, but the rallies...
22:46 mircea_popescu this is perhaps the only point of technical analysis with any merit.
22:47 TheNewDeal Drops happen fast as well?
22:47 TheNewDeal Same with rebounds
22:47 peterl so to get yes on brk-a bet, at this point btc would have to get over 666 usd, that doesn't seem that high yet bitbet is favoring no
22:48 mircea_popescu peterl there's a latency. heavy no bets came in this week, perhaps not balanced oyut yet
22:48 TheNewDeal like december 18th 2013
22:48 mircea_popescu TheNewDeal hm.
22:48 BingoBoingo <TheNewDeal> Drops happen fast as well? << Only really drops fast after decisive peaks
22:49 mircea_popescu this is why it's ta :D
22:49 TheNewDeal Feb 9th 2014 wasn't after a peak
22:49 BingoBoingo TheNewDeal: Maybe we measure time differently...
22:49 peterl my tea leaves are saying RALLY!!!
22:49 TheNewDeal Definitely. I'm a new comer
22:50 TheNewDeal And bitcoin years are like the hypothetical dog years
22:51 BingoBoingo I mean last fall was the anomalie in that it has a rally whereas 2011 and 2012... stagnation...
22:52 TheNewDeal Wasn't 2011 a large increase year?
22:52 BingoBoingo It was for a while...
22:53 TheNewDeal when did the btc / usd ratio go > 1 ?
22:54 BingoBoingo And interesting question, right before it dropped to 0.7
23:00 decimation as I recall it was the summer of 2011
23:03 TheNewDeal Wasn't sure if it went 10 / 1 in the same year, or if that was the next.
23:04 TheNewDeal ;;timesincebitcoinwas10usd
23:04 gribble Error: "timesincebitcoinwas10usd" is not a valid command.
23:05 xmj TheNewDeal: 3 years

23:05 assbot An Illustrated History Of Bitcoin Crashes - Forbes
23:06 TheNewDeal So it did cross 1:1 and 10:1 in 2011. I'd say that's an up year
23:07 BingoBoingo Well, really it was probably the first year
23:08 TheNewDeal Is that the year mt gox switched over from Magic the Gathering cards ;)
23:12 BingoBoingo Good question
23:12 TheNewDeal Just rapid-fired like 20 questions. Feel free to ignore them
23:14 BingoBoingo Not ignoring so much as distracted, and the Google is a thing
23:15 asciilifeform decimation: vlsi design software << yes, it was. and they actually... used it.
23:16 asciilifeform decimation: i asked dan schmidt whether he'd sell it - he answered that he won't, it's in some kind of eternal legal limbo (sub-licensed somewhere, or the like.)
23:16 decimation asciilifeform: reminds me of chuck moore writing his own vlsi design in forth
23:16 asciilifeform mats_cd03: practical-file-system-design << old favourite of mine.
23:16 decimation it would be interesting if some rich prince 'rescued' the symbolics assets just for shits
23:17 TheNewDeal ;;later tell ThickAsThieves any response on that foia yet?
23:17 gribble The operation succeeded.
23:18 asciilifeform decimation: does the vlsi design exist (presumably in vhdl) << afaik it was lisp from day 1 (mit cadr was hand-drawn, after that - 'ourobourus'-like tail-eating iterative design...)
23:19 decimation like, it produced a netlist?
23:19 asciilifeform decimation: netlist << nope. the actual masks, ready for tapeout.
23:19 asciilifeform (naturally, netlist first, etc)
23:19 decimation that is impressive.
23:20 decimation I remember when beos was a thing, raging fast, low latency. too bad it petered out
23:20 asciilifeform very few of these things feel 'impressive' after you learn just how intrinsically simple all of our tech stack is
23:20 asciilifeform when you strip away the crapolade.
23:21 decimation I guess I'm thinking "must recreate xilinux crapware, mentor graphics crapware, & various glue code"
23:21 decimation but much of that stuff is redundant
23:21 asciilifeform all of it.
23:22 asciilifeform the only thing intrinsically necessary is a compact way to tell the photomask printer what to do...
23:23 decimation unfortunately, unless one is going mask one's own chips, we are stuck with fgpa's and rtl
23:23 * asciilifeform just emerged from ~4 hrs of lathe work, does in fact appreciate the difficulty of apparently simple things. but the extant computing stack - is still a pile of shit.
23:26 TheNewDeal what where you lathing?
23:27 asciilifeform TheNewDeal: approximately the gadget pictured here: http://www.dispensetips.com/pages/piston.html
23:27 assbot Piston Pump, positive displacement pump
23:27 asciilifeform (only the pieces with the red flow diagram depicted)
23:28 decimation heh, you gonna make a pump for solder paste?
23:28 asciilifeform more or less obvious from the link, no ?
23:28 decimation yep. what about the little micro-screw-needle
23:29 asciilifeform the business end?
23:29 decimation yeah
23:29 asciilifeform that's the single solitary part that's actually readily available off the shelf, a dime a dozen.
23:31 decimation no the auger valve you wrote about a few months ago
23:31 asciilifeform at chinese factories, they go through astounding quantities of such needles when dispensing glue - hence cheap.
23:31 asciilifeform nope.
23:31 decimation http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-07-2014#765038
23:31 assbot Logged on 23-07-2014 03:10:06; asciilifeform: state of the art, it turns out, is 'auger valve' - think: small archimedes screw.
23:31 asciilifeform auger valve is in some ways a nicer design
23:32 asciilifeform but quite difficult to achieve given the tolerances of a cheap desktop non-cnc lathe.
23:32 decimation yeah makes sense
23:32 decimation so you are going to build a 'better' glue squirter
23:32 asciilifeform and yes all of this could theoretically be bought.
23:32 asciilifeform but - golden toilet.
23:32 decimation yeah I understand.
23:33 asciilifeform 'better' in the sense that 1) it easily beats the controlled-air-puff dispenser i was using previously, which is almost unusably inaccurate and,
23:33 asciilifeform 2) can be had. really nice things exist, are used in 'adult' factories - but cannot be had.
23:34 decimation So if you can control the fine pump pressure dynamically you might be able to prevent the 'drool' problem
23:34 asciilifeform 'positive displacement' here means, easily, that no more turd can emerge from the needle than is actually inside the needle
23:34 asciilifeform as a theoretical maximum
23:35 asciilifeform ('rabbit can be pulled out of hat only to the extent said rabbit is actually in the hat.'
23:35 asciilifeform )
23:35 asciilifeform no need to control pressure to any great extent, that's the whole fscking point of pos. disp. pumps.
23:36 asciilifeform just need enough air pressure in syringe to keep the paste flowing into the work chamber on the piston's up-stroke.
23:36 asciilifeform (but not so much that it is able to overcome the needle.)
23:36 decimation yeah I guess there is no air in the chamber, so it's all incompressible
23:36 asciilifeform correct.
23:37 asciilifeform (there are circumstances where air can mix with the paste, but i will not describe them here - we've already put everyone to sleep.)
23:38 * BingoBoingo is far from asleep
23:39 decimation looks to me that a likely leakage path would be the upstroke phase - air could leak around the piston
23:40 TheNewDeal may have just fixed my dial indicator. Feel like I working in a chinese sweatshop for the last half hour
23:40 asciilifeform TheNewDeal: what was the occasion for dial indicator ?
23:41 nubbins` odd coincidence, my dial test indicator showed up today
23:41 TheNewDeal use them for a few things at work. One is to make sure that gears are meshed well enough
23:41 asciilifeform nubbins`: odd coincidence, i ordered one today
23:41 asciilifeform (previously had only 'dial indicator')
23:41 nubbins` read that earlier, i have no dial test indicator ;(
23:42 asciilifeform it'll be - an ancient 'mitutoyo'
23:45 asciilifeform i keep waiting for someone here to suggest 'use peristaltic pump'
23:45 asciilifeform (then i'd have to explain how this doesn't work, sadly, and for nonobvious reason)
23:46 decimation is it because it would smash the solder balls?
23:46 asciilifeform TheNewDeal: Feel like I working in a chinese sweatshop for the last half hour << i am glad to learn that i am not the only one who ended up constructing his own personal chinese sweatshop to toil in...
23:46 asciilifeform it would smash the solder balls << nope. the standard methods (auger and piston) actually do. and this limits the life of the apparatus (smashed balls end up adhering to the inside bores.)
23:47 TheNewDeal hahaha I hardly constructed one. Just borrowed a tiny screwdriver from the tools that ship with the machine
23:47 asciilifeform problem with peristaltic is that it operates in bursts (one 'squeeze') which always end up too long.
23:47 BingoBoingo <asciilifeform> (then i'd have to explain how this doesn't work, sadly, and for nonobvious reason) << it could work if instead you went for living fabrication machines as the Flinstones did.
23:48 decimation couldn't you construct a really tiny paristaltic pump?
23:48 asciilifeform decimation: you can, but you get odd behaviour - considering that you aren't pumping a fluid in the usual sense
23:48 asciilifeform but a suspension of metal balls.
23:49 decimation yeah I suspect as the ID of the tube approaches the size of the balls weird stuff would happen
23:49 asciilifeform peristaltic pump also stretches the tube if the business end is clogged (as it inevitably becomes)
23:50 asciilifeform weird stuff happens in all of the listed designs. it's a problem to which there isn't really a fully satisfactory solution.
23:50 asciilifeform (solder paste in 'adult' industry is simply never pumped. they use stencils, afaik.)
23:51 BingoBoingo <asciilifeform> peristaltic pump also stretches the tube if the business end is clogged (as it inevitably becomes) << In the prototypical models Magnesium citrate tends to clear this well.
23:51 decimation yeah I was reading about how they ditched laser cut designs for photoetching
23:52 decimation for stencils that is
23:54 decimation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHNpayYhBvM << watch the annoying australian run his design on an 'adult' assembly line, with solder paste, pick n' place and oven
23:54 assbot EEVblog #264 - SMD PCB Pick & Place Machine Assembly - YouTube
23:56 decimation it's amusing that the solder paste machine is pretty much just a giant squeegee, but all dressed up
