01:16 BingoBoingo bitcoinpete: As a great man once said "No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. You won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country."
01:17 BingoBoingo bitcoinpete: The same person also said "When I want my men to remember something important, to really make it stick, I give it to them double dirty. It may not sound nice to a bunch of little old ladies, at an afternoon tea party, but it helps my soldiers to remember. You can't run an army without profanity, and it has to be eloquent profanity. An army without profanity couldn't fight its way out of a piss-soaked paper bag."
01:18 bitcoinpete i'd love to hear some of the chinese profanity
01:19 bitcoinpete was just watching videos of f-15s taking off the Liaoning
01:20 BingoBoingo bitcoinpete: Really?
01:21 BingoBoingo I was kind of just bringing up these quotes in the context of addressing scammers. It isn't enough to merely be better than the scammers through knowing. You have to make them answer for their purpose, and in doing so you have to use language that sticks

02:25 BingoBoingo I also think he came around to an objection to shitcoin on first principles eventually.

02:46 jurov but "bitcoin deposits from utside canada are prohibited"?
02:46 fluffypony yes, they're obviously a bit retarded or very, very sneaky
02:47 fluffypony they have a regulatory requirement to only deal with Canadians, so I don't understand why they even show the deposit screen/address for unverified customers
02:47 fluffypony surely it's one line of PHP/Ruby/whatever they use

02:56 BingoBoingo Not even that. The You Can Message Someone on Facebook, as a replacement for email is a catalyst of suck.

03:36 Diablo-D3 yeah, and Ive never actually had that problem

03:39 BingoBoingo Better living through knowledge of chemistry and all of that
03:39 Diablo-D3 I agree
03:40 Diablo-D3 but the problem is, you have to find what works
03:40 Diablo-D3 paleo is about using products that dont cause some sort of immune response or arent otherwise toxic
03:40 Diablo-D3 BingoBoingo: some people DO get this wrong and get weirdly hippy about it
03:41 Diablo-D3 they arent doing paleo, they're just being hippies
03:41 BingoBoingo Eh, I mix poison ivy into salad at least once a year.
03:42 BingoBoingo I try to keep my immune system in a state as close to total war as possible
03:42 Diablo-D3 yes, and thats a thing
03:42 Diablo-D3 I prefer removing as many irritants as possible
03:42 Diablo-D3 so my body CAN have an immune response
03:43 BingoBoingo Immune response is important, but it has to point the right direction
03:44 Diablo-D3 like, grains/sugars/etc really fuck up your immune response
03:44 BingoBoingo Nah, that shit's fuel. If that is your definition of an irritant...
03:46 BingoBoingo I mean denying the monder human body that shit is asking for portal vein hypertension
03:50 BingoBoingo Onto another topic, Diablo-D3 what would be your ideal computer for offline signing and decryption?

03:51 Diablo-D3 it can be a fuel but its not the most efficient

03:52 Diablo-D3 because shit is only secure when everyone on the planet has audited it and said so

03:54 fluffypony BingoBoingo: sure, in quantity, but if you're rolling it yourself for your own purposes?
03:55 Diablo-D3 fluffypony: something like the rpi works
03:55 Diablo-D3 its unlikely theres any major problems with it
03:55 BingoBoingo fluffypony: Why advertise it as that? Posit the thing as a student architecture.
03:55 Diablo-D3 although all nics ARE backdoored and can DMA anywhere in ram
03:55 BingoBoingo An actual top down version of what RPi wants to be
03:56 BingoBoingo Diablo-D3: Yeah, ethernet is the big problem
03:56 fluffypony BingoBoingo: someone needs to fab the silicon, and are you going to get an electron microscope to check that its to-spec?
03:56 Diablo-D3 you could strip the ethernet out and use usb to serial or w/e

03:57 BingoBoingo No, updating the software defeats an actual air gap
03:57 Diablo-D3 BingoBoingo: then hell
03:57 fluffypony Diablo-D3: you can sign transactions offline
03:57 Diablo-D3 just use gpg on dos.

03:58 BingoBoingo C is a more portable language than Java
03:58 fluffypony http://s3.computerhistory.org/source/msdos.zip
03:58 Diablo-D3 claiming java isnt portable, however, is a bad argument
03:58 Diablo-D3 because, sadly, it really does work on tons of shit
03:58 BingoBoingo Diablo-D3: Not at all. I am jsut claiming C is more portable.
03:58 Diablo-D3 why? I dont know
03:58 Diablo-D3 BingoBoingo: C is portable to shit that should not be running C
03:59 Diablo-D3 anything written in modern C simply will not work on them without a lot of help
03:59 Diablo-D3 99.9% of shit will break if char is not 8 bit, short is not 16 bit, and int is not 32 bit
03:59 fluffypony "You should be also be cautioned that the MSDOS stack is not deep. You should not count on more than one or two pushes of the registers."
03:59 Diablo-D3 even though it is within the C specification for them not to be
04:00 Diablo-D3 (and yes, int cant be 64 bit either, some OS got this wrong and broke shit, long is the only one that should be native)
04:01 BingoBoingo Still which of {C,Java} works best on Z80?
04:01 Diablo-D3 neither.
04:02 fluffypony so someone needs to write GPG for BASIC?
04:02 Diablo-D3 C on 8 bit machines is horrid
04:02 fluffypony 20 GOTO 10
04:02 Diablo-D3 the gpg for dos thing is obviously a 32 bit binary
04:02 BingoBoingo The point of C is to be horrid, to be the last resort.
04:02 Diablo-D3 not really
04:03 Diablo-D3 Ive coded C for over 15 years
04:03 Diablo-D3 if you know how to use it, its a nice language
04:03 BingoBoingo C is a nice language. I am not disputing that.
04:03 Diablo-D3 C is an absolutely fucking horrid language
04:04 Diablo-D3 I said "if you know how to use it"
04:04 Diablo-D3 it takes the better part of a decade to get there.
04:04 bounce so what do you prefer? haskell? ruby?
04:04 Diablo-D3 bounce: I had a love affair with erlang for awhile
04:04 BingoBoingo bounce: 68K assembly.
04:04 Diablo-D3 ruby is a fucking shit pile
04:04 bounce too bad the z80 doesn't do that
04:04 BingoBoingo TI-89 and classic Mac FTW
04:04 Diablo-D3 its like the guys who created it had no clue what the fuck a language was
04:04 Diablo-D3 and cargo culted it together
04:05 Diablo-D3 BingoBoingo: yay I have a ti-89
04:05 Diablo-D3 I need to take it apart though
04:05 bounce anyway, mind sticking to the topic and present some viable engineering choices that'll work on z80? (as distinct from your personal preferences that work plenty fine on your desktop)
04:05 Diablo-D3 it hasnt been cleaned since I got it at the start of high school
04:05 Diablo-D3 and Im now 30.
04:05 Diablo-D3 I wipe the keys off sometimes, but theres shit just ground into it
04:06 BingoBoingo bounce: Did I ever offer Z80 as an only option? I would kill for a multicore gigahertz class Coldfire dev board rated for server use
04:07 Diablo-D3 bounce: Im considering learning scala though
04:07 Diablo-D3 I dont hate the jvm. I dont even hate java all that much anymore.
04:07 BingoBoingo Diablo-D3: I actually sold my TI-89 for money to buy weed
04:07 Diablo-D3 java 8 fixed a lot of the long standing issues java has
04:07 bounce you were talking about z80, and I thought it was interesting enough to explore that a bit. still have a kaypro in an attic somewhere. should probably dust if off some time
04:07 Diablo-D3 BingoBoingo: I never use my ti-89
04:08 Diablo-D3 which is kind of sad
04:08 BingoBoingo bounce: I like the Z80 as an example to suppose.
04:08 bounce it's a good example since (I'm told, haven't investigated) various smart card type things have a z80-type core on board
04:09 BingoBoingo Diablo-D3: My TI-89 met it's end in my usefulness when I realized the cheaper Mac Classic was basically the same thing.
04:09 Diablo-D3 yeah z80 is the best 8bit microcontroller cpu ever
04:09 Diablo-D3 BingoBoingo: I just needed a ti calc because it was mandatory for math classes in high school
04:09 Diablo-D3 best $150 I spent
04:10 BingoBoingo I think asciilifeform is right about the Lisps being the future though
04:10 bounce relevant for this channel is the gpg-card thingies. problem with those is that the source isn't available, though a spec is. an open source implementation would be nice, and perhaps cheaper than sourcing the closed-source thing.
04:10 Diablo-D3 loaded up video games on it
04:10 Diablo-D3 BingoBoingo: all languages are slowly becoming lisp, including lisp
04:10 Diablo-D3 lisp really is the best language ever created
04:10 BingoBoingo Not really, clojure becomes less LISP every release
04:10 Diablo-D3 clojure never really was a lisp
04:10 bounce so if you're looking for an embedded type project, that's as a good an angle as anything
04:11 fluffypony Clojure thinks it's a lisp
04:11 fluffypony so does Scheme
04:11 bounce so which is more acceptably lisp-y, ruby or clojure? </troll>
04:11 BingoBoingo Scheme is a LISP though
04:12 BingoBoingo bounce: Python is probably more LISPy than Ruby or Clojure
04:12 fluffypony python is definitely more lispy than both
04:12 bounce how so?
04:12 BingoBoingo bounce: The bedrock abstractions are more solid
04:12 Diablo-D3 the only lisps Im interested in is chicken and racket
04:13 Diablo-D3 bounce: ruby is just a mistake imo
04:13 Diablo-D3 like php is
04:13 fluffypony ok breakfast time, bbl
04:13 Diablo-D3 it was written by people who clearly were not veteran programmers and understood no good patterns
04:14 BingoBoingo Ruby is basically a python fork that broke the underlying interpreter
04:14 bounce did they get around to plug the resource leaks in the reference interpreter?
04:14 BingoBoingo PHP was a nobel but flawed attempt to make HTML a scriptable server language
04:15 bounce lovely how it attracts nothing but n00bs and how even the core devs reflect that sad fact. a fractal of bad design, indeed.
04:15 Diablo-D3 BingoBoingo: I will agree ruby is very python inspired
04:15 BingoBoingo In this way PHP was at least born with a purpose. Where as Ruby was born with "lol, suck cocks"
04:15 Diablo-D3 but all the bad parts
04:15 Diablo-D3 although Im not sure python has good parts
04:16 BingoBoingo Diablo-D3: Python is great as a modern alternative to BASIC
04:16 Diablo-D3 I dont understand how people can handle a language that successfully resists static analysis
04:16 BingoBoingo Diablo-D3: Well, they handle it because they don't have pubes yet.
04:16 BingoBoingo It is a learnign language
04:16 Diablo-D3 thats a non-argument
04:17 Diablo-D3 I learned C when I was 14.
04:17 Diablo-D3 anything younger than 14 should be started on lisp.
04:18 BingoBoingo That isn't how schools have been capable of thinking though. I learned turtle graphics at 11 on an Apple II with software written in 1995. Schools make the worst decisions.
04:18 Diablo-D3 yes, I could care less what schools do
04:18 Diablo-D3 you do not learn how to program at a school
04:18 Diablo-D3 programming is an art form
04:18 bounce so you could care less. well, time to show some love and caring, eh.
04:18 BingoBoingo !up sunshyne
04:18 assbot Voicing sunshyne for 30 minutes.
04:19 Diablo-D3 you learn programming by programming
04:19 Diablo-D3 anyhow who says otherwise is confusing programming with computer science

04:20 Diablo-D3 nif you want computer science
04:20 Diablo-D3 just read through TAoCP
04:20 Diablo-D3 dont need a school for that
04:21 BingoBoingo need can be a tricky work
04:21 BingoBoingo !up Diablo-D3
04:21 assbot Voicing Diablo-D3 for 30 minutes.
04:21 Diablo-D3 TAoCP is rather straight forward imo
04:21 Diablo-D3 and once you learn how to program, any language works really
04:22 Diablo-D3 programming is about learning patterns and when to use them
04:22 BingoBoingo Someone can probably be a gentleman without reading Clausewitz much like someone can program without school.
04:22 Diablo-D3 its no different than learning how to play chess
04:22 BingoBoingo Diablo-D3: Would you be up for a game of chess?
04:23 Diablo-D3 I havent played chess in long long time
04:23 Diablo-D3 and Im too distracted to enjoy it right now anyhow
04:23 BingoBoingo Eh, I've imbibed quite a bit of ETOH since this conversation started
04:24 BingoBoingo I'll even offer the four possible opening lines I'd play
04:24 bounce I need a shower and to find me a board, but I could be up after.
04:25 BingoBoingo As white I'd play the queen's gambit. As black responding to E4, the pirc, to d4 the slav, and to anything else a spanking.
04:27 BingoBoingo This is pretty much the mode I've offered to any players approaching me in this channel
04:28 Diablo-D3 iirc there are no good online chess things anyhow
04:28 BingoBoingo Diablo-D3: If you have algebraic notation IRC works fine
04:28 Diablo-D3 I hate doing that
04:29 BingoBoingo Chess is a great game in that precise notation exists for every possible move
04:30 Diablo-D3 I dont think I even own a chess board anymore.
04:31 BingoBoingo I no longer have nickel cadmium batteries
04:32 BingoBoingo I'd like to no longer have LI-ION batteries
04:34 mircea_popescu goood morning everyone!
04:34 BingoBoingo ;;later tell bitcoinpete When you asked about a line betting operation did the tweet I offered convey enough info?
04:34 gribble The operation succeeded.
04:34 BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: Morning
04:35 BingoBoingo How was the conference?
04:35 mircea_popescu pretty great!
04:36 mircea_popescu gonna put some pix up once i go through my mail and stuff
04:36 BingoBoingo Nice.
04:36 mircea_popescu how was the chan meanwhile ?
04:36 BingoBoingo Slow
04:36 BingoBoingo I ended up travelling just a little bit this weekend.
04:36 Diablo-D3 [04:31:43] <BingoBoingo> I no longer have nickel cadmium batteries
04:36 Diablo-D3 [04:32:16] <BingoBoingo> I'd like to no longer have LI-ION batteries
04:36 Diablo-D3 eventually we wont
04:36 Diablo-D3 graphene supercaps
04:36 mircea_popescu o look who's here. didja find france alright davout ?
04:37 mircea_popescu Diablo-D3 afaik graphene is still a ways off.
04:37 BingoBoingo Diablo-D3: Actually I am hoping for a revival and enhancement of Silver-Zinc batteries
04:38 mircea_popescu did that byrne kid ever manage to find his way here ?
04:38 BingoBoingo ?
04:39 BingoBoingo The logs are sparse the past couple days, so I doubt many newcomers...
04:40 Diablo-D3 mircea_popescu: in the next five years, graphene supercaps will become a commercial reality
04:40 Diablo-D3 they already have semi-functioning prototypes
04:40 Diablo-D3 their big problem right now is that they're so energy dense, they're hard to handle
04:40 mircea_popescu Diablo-D3 i bet you that i won't be able to buy a graphene supercap battery at a convenience store in 2019.
04:41 Diablo-D3 mircea_popescu: well, no, you wouldnt
04:41 Diablo-D3 that'd be nonsensical
04:41 mircea_popescu ...
04:41 BingoBoingo If they were there I dunno that I would want to buy them
04:41 mircea_popescu well whatever, radioshack
04:41 Diablo-D3 that'd be like buying a li-ion battery at a store
04:41 Diablo-D3 you dont
04:41 Diablo-D3 you need the safety mechanism so you dont kill yourself
04:41 mircea_popescu some sort of consumer accessible outlet
04:41 Diablo-D3 Im surprised, btw, alkalines are even made anymore
04:41 Diablo-D3 they're old hat
04:42 BingoBoingo ... Usually I buy lithium batteries at the store, Li-ion, LI-polymer and otherwise
04:42 mircea_popescu ^
04:42 Diablo-D3 I put lithiums in anything that a regchargable is inappropriate for
04:42 Diablo-D3 like, devices that stay continuously powered more than 2 years, or go outside, or are clocks, etc
04:42 BingoBoingo I have yet to see a Lithium 364 button cell
04:43 fluffypony alkalines are still available here - just yesterday I had to buy some AAs and got to choose between alkalines, lithiums, and nimh rechargeables
04:43 Diablo-D3 I use lsd nimhs in all.... two devices that need batteries
04:43 Diablo-D3 well, that arent clocks or continuous long term shit
04:43 mircea_popescu asciilifeform needed some batteries for his demo yest, i had the maitre d' scare up some batteries, he came back with two alkalines
04:44 Diablo-D3 my harmony remote, and my ti-89
04:44 Diablo-D3 thats _it_
04:44 Diablo-D3 I have nothing that uses batteries anymore
04:44 Diablo-D3 the two clocks and the temp sensors use lithiums for obvious reasons
04:45 BingoBoingo I own more watches than other battery powered devices, but of the ones that don't operate on mechanical energy, solver oxide cells are the most prevalent.
04:45 bounce what, no automatics?
04:46 Diablo-D3 bounce: nope
04:46 BingoBoingo bounce: Automatics use mechanical energy
04:46 BingoBoingo The rotor winds the spring
04:46 bounce right. what was the electrical equivalent, 'kinetic' or something?
04:46 fluffypony davout: bonjour
04:47 fluffypony bounce: yeah, Seiko had "kinetic"
04:47 fluffypony Citizen has solar
04:47 BingoBoingo bounce: Kinetic is the seiko term, other manufacterers use different names because trademarks. That is for electrical charging by those means though.
04:48 BingoBoingo Seiko still makes proper mechanical automatic movements though.
04:48 bounce kid in school had a solar, very sparse design. just even matte background for the face, which also was the solar panel only you'd not notice.
04:49 fluffypony bounce: I have 3 Citizen solars
04:49 fluffypony lemme take photo
04:49 BingoBoingo The sun's overrated. I'd kind of prefer an all tritium powered watch
04:50 bounce used to have a... citizen? automatic. need fixing though, in the end it was off by half an hour a day. should've gotten it fixed while still in warranty. silly me.
04:50 BingoBoingo Oh http://prestonbyrne.com/2014/04/21/that-didnt-take-long/
04:51 BingoBoingo bounce: It really depends on the particular watch whether it is worth saving or not.
04:52 mircea_popescu quartzes rarely are.
04:52 BingoBoingo bounce: Even in the worst case you want to keep them stored well in case everyone else with them decides they aren't worth saving and you end up with something rate
04:53 BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: I have yet to actually see a quartz automatic outisde of a few questionable seiko examples
04:53 mircea_popescu what do you mean ?
04:54 mircea_popescu ;;google quartz clock
04:54 gribble Quartz clock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz_clock>; HowStuffWorks "How Quartz Watches Work": <http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/gadgets/clocks-watches/quartz-watch.htm>; Quartz Time Only Clock Movements | Klockit: <http://www.klockit.com/depts/QuartzTimeOnlyClockMovements/dept-157.html>
04:54 mircea_popescu that thing ?
04:54 BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: Seiko has a mechanical powered quartz regulated movement they call "Spring Drive"
04:54 BingoBoingo Seiko also has a mechanically recharged all electric quarts they call kinetic
04:55 mircea_popescu oh oh. yeah some swiss makers actually tried using quartz oscialltors as an error limiter at some point
04:56 BingoBoingo The couple I've seen inherited the worst parts of quartz and mechanical movements.
04:56 fluffypony bounce: http://i.imgur.com/ppkGOKj.jpg
04:56 fluffypony you wouldn't be able to tell any of those are solar panels at a glance
04:56 mircea_popescu exactly.
04:57 BingoBoingo ANd the only I've known of were all made by Japs
04:57 mircea_popescu perhaps resolvable, but i think people just gave up
04:57 BingoBoingo Probably. It is hard to compete with a CR 2032 at anything.
04:58 BingoBoingo I'd like to see more accutron like tuning fork movements though.
04:58 BingoBoingo mechanicaly charged mass regulated would be nearly perfect.
04:59 mircea_popescu judging by the excellent results electrostatic speakers show it's a wonder they've not tried that yet actually.

04:59 BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: It probably goes back to flawed fiat assumptions about costs.
05:00 BingoBoingo I have yet to see anything as beautiful as the original accutron movements.
05:01 BingoBoingo The few I've worked on take 357 batteries though, and that is a lot of silver for a year and a half of function.
05:03 fluffypony BingoBoingo: http://www.watchalyzer.com/wp-content/gallery/bulova-accutron/bulova-accutron-214-movement.jpg
05:03 fluffypony I love the exposed resistor
05:04 BingoBoingo fluffypony: That is literally the most boring part of the thing.
05:04 bounce wonder how they do white solar panels.
05:04 bounce on IIRC my watch is a casio instead. hm. doesn't really matter.
05:05 fluffypony bounce: no clue, it's quite impressive that they make it look like a regular watch face
05:06 BingoBoingo fluffypony: Those two sections wrapped in wire are a tuning fork.
05:06 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 15500 @ 0.00099253 = 15.3842 BTC [-] {3}
05:06 BingoBoingo The tuning fork both keeps time and moves the hands
05:07 fluffypony nice
05:07 fluffypony are the batteries hard to come by?
05:07 BingoBoingo Quartz coming later keeps time better, but only keeps time.
05:07 BingoBoingo fluffypony: Here batteries are easy to find, standard 357s
05:08 BingoBoingo Just, don't try the other kind of 357
05:10 fluffypony they're not badly priced in decent condition
05:12 BingoBoingo Well, decent doesn't say too much... How many people alive can make them sing (I actually, literally mean sing)
05:12 fluffypony BingoBoingo: sing by striking the tuning fork?
05:13 BingoBoingo fluffypony: Not striking, resonating. That's what the coils of copper wire do. It's a fucking watch, not a rail gun.
05:14 fluffypony although a pocket rail gun would be amazing
05:14 assbot AMAZING COMPANY!
05:14 fluffypony a:-P
05:15 BingoBoingo A silver oxide cell would offer the worst possible discharge curve for that purpose though.

11:34 mircea_popescu i'll borrow the expression from taleb, since i just read it : this shit's not even wrong.
11:34 benkay generalizing concepts. sounds like someone heard about 'general solutions' from someone else with a lil bit o programmery experience and decided it was important to do for their ideas as well.
11:35 benkay "it's not enough that this is specifically stupid, i'm going to generalize this idiocy to the general case."

11:36 bounce I think the "jews make up a race according to western languages" premise mostly means the writer is still stuck in wwII-era propaganda.
11:37 mircea_popescu bounce the part where early judaism was not tribal, but more akin to today's jehova witnesses is accurate
11:37 mircea_popescu the middle part... that becomes complex
11:38 FabianB mircea_popescu: does it exist or will it be built by you?
11:39 bounce isn't it their creation story that groups them in various tribes, about 12 or so? though to call that a "race" is maybe a bit overly ambitious.
11:39 fluffypony well jews in ancient israel were bound by a common belief, but it was also by birth
11:39 mircea_popescu FabianB it's a play on how would a feminine jerusalem sound like
11:39 fluffypony if you decided to follow the belief but you weren't born of the 12 tribes you weren't a jew
11:39 mircea_popescu bounce we're talking actual history rather than orginal mythology tho
11:40 mircea_popescu otherwise everyone was spawned by the fucking sun god.
11:40 bounce what, you're saying their holy book can possibly be wrong? what malarky is this? :-p
11:40 mircea_popescu lol
11:40 FabianB mircea_popescu: hahaha, was already looking in argentinas pampas for tiny villages :)
11:40 fluffypony bounce is right, though - they self-identified based on the son they were descended from
11:40 mircea_popescu let me put it this way : once judaism became large enough they +m'd the channel.
11:41 bounce this is true. you can get in, but it's not easy.
11:41 mircea_popescu FabianB you know the expression, "next year in jerusalem". i just.. well... sexchanged it.
11:41 FabianB hehe
11:41 mircea_popescu but before it was large enough, there was no tribalism. most being... self made jooz.

12:53 bounce why don't you ask him? op on -otc. could be someone nicksquatted you and he was a little too enthousiastic
12:53 cgcardona_ ok
12:53 cgcardona_ don't see how someone nicksquatted me - i have it registered w/ nickserv
12:54 bounce you don't have it set to enforce it, too
12:54 bounce why didn't you get the nick without _ released and use that? you can still do that, by the by.
12:55 cgcardona_ you mean that I don't have nickserv set to enforce my nick registration?
12:55 fluffypony nope
12:55 fluffypony you need to /nickserv set enforce on
12:55 fluffypony although WHY that isn't the default on Freenode is beyond me
12:55 cgcardona_ so someone has potentially be impersonating me on here?
12:55 cgcardona_ that's no good.
12:55 cgcardona_ i should check the logs.

12:57 fluffypony from there
12:57 fluffypony yeah
12:57 cgcardona_ holy shit. fucking people.
12:58 fluffypony looks like they scammed someone too
12:58 cgcardona_ so now that I have it set to enforce it will make someone enter my nickserv each time and if not kick them off of my nick?
12:59 * bounce views nickserv as rather fascist already, nevermind nick enforcing. it's the thing to do on here, but, you know. can also argue that with only gribble it'd give more incentive to check with gribble first and foremost, and to accept no substitutes.
12:59 fluffypony yes
12:59 fluffypony well not kick them off, I think it forces a nick change to GuestXXXXX
12:59 cgcardona_ fluffypony: thanks for the help. that totally blows.
12:59 cgcardona_ but i guess its good that I found out now
12:59 fluffypony yeah, Anduck will remove the negrating once you get hold of him
12:59 cgcardona_ hopefully i can work something out w/ Anduck to find out what happened.

13:52 bounce oh, apparently misremembered, only 207mn usd. still, what's an underground bunker or two cost these days?

13:59 fluffypony "A raid of his home in the wealthy neighborhood of Mexico City produced what police described as "the largest single drug cash seizure the world has ever seen." Almost $207 million sat in the house in cash. Seven high-powered firearms were also in the house, the New York Times reported."
14:00 bounce apt, though. consider what happens to reported prices, the so called "street value"
14:00 fluffypony also the third picture is an actual museum

14:00 fluffypony so that's just embellishment
14:02 fluffypony also that bit at the end is way wrong
14:02 bounce curiously, a load of stolen garlic got recovered (border agents smelled something), and the value reported sounded like they used wholesale prices, not "supermarket prices".
14:02 fluffypony "$22 billion/[(310 million people)(12 years)(~$5,000/person/year)]=0.0012. $22 billion would meet about 0.12% of the health insurance costs for 12 years. Actual cost would be $18.6 trillion. Health insurance would have to cost $5.91 per person per year for $22 billion to cover everyone for 12 years."

14:31 mircea_popescu I would like to record here (so people get off my back) that I do not belong to the so-called "Austrian School" of economics, in spite of a few similar positions on bailouts and bottom-up systems. I believe in mathematical statements. But if I were to belong to a school of thought designated by a nationality, the {NATIONALITY} SCHOOL of {DISCIPLINE} it would be the Russian school of probability.

14:35 davout nah, in all seriousness, i don't know about you, but i don't piss with my balls
14:35 mircea_popescu people have a lot of difficulty groking that if you're anonymous... there is no property.
14:35 mircea_popescu there's no "my" in anonimity.

14:36 mircea_popescu davout ne confondre pas anonimite e pseudonimite, i say!
14:36 davout anonymous, absence of name, not of identity
14:36 mircea_popescu anonymous is absence of identity.
14:36 mircea_popescu like, joe schmuck on reddit. is not a person.
14:36 mircea_popescu it's not even a thing. it's gas.
14:37 mircea_popescu "as it's use is very limited"
14:38 davout mircea_popescu: i'd say fungibility is the absence of identity, anonymity is the absence of name, but i'm too tipsy on that delicious rosé champagne to even imagine arguing the point properly
14:38 mircea_popescu stupid enough to not realise he can't have a "my" as nobody, clueless enough to fail to distinguish a verb from a possessive. this is reddit.
14:38 mircea_popescu davout so argue it tomorrow.
14:40 mircea_popescu curious to see how you'll argue cluster4 is not fungible with cluster3 or derpymcherp or w/e.
14:41 mircea_popescu this entire shit is backwards. views, which are not fungible, people pretend are in fact fungible. then anons, which are absolutely fungible, people pretend like are not. apparently the web is quite counterintuitive.
14:43 davout mircea_popescu: derps might be fungible as anonymous entities, entities we couldn't care to name, it doesn't really impede their ability to each own a bitcent
14:43 davout brb
14:45 mircea_popescu but that's irrelevant for this discussion innit.
14:45 mircea_popescu the opinion of derp1 is exactly equal to the opinion of derp2 inasmuch as we don't know anything about 'em.

14:52 davout mircea_popescu: yes, but fungibility and anonymity lie in the observer, property lies with the things themselves
14:52 bounce yeah, no. with davout on this one, "anonymity" is lack of a label, not necessarily lack of an underlying identity. on the flip side, you already know what jehova's witnesses will try and tell you without you needing their name, regardless of whether they offer their name. if they do, they're no longer anonymous. it doesn't affect your esteem for what they're trying to tell you.
14:52 mircea_popescu http://www.lambiek.net/artists/image/m/mas_r/mas_pifou_pg6904.jpg
14:52 mircea_popescu davout the fact that the person "deep down" "twu wuvs" you is immaterial.
14:53 mircea_popescu for all you know pet rocks have distinct personalities.
14:53 thestringpuller mircea_popescu: looks like I lost the bet

14:53 mircea_popescu bounce anon jehova's witnesses are not people.
14:54 mircea_popescu to personalize they need to de-jehova-witnessize for you, before you.
14:54 davout derp1 and derp2 might be fungible from our pov, but derp1 can still own 1 btc while derp2 owns 2
14:54 mircea_popescu so ?
14:54 bounce not to you. inside their own circles their worth is measured by their zeal.
14:54 fluffypony mircea_popescu: there's an H on end
14:54 mircea_popescu but what happens inside the pet rock is uninteresting in this discussion.
14:54 mircea_popescu fluffypony yeah k.
14:55 davout mircea_popescu: it is, because knowledge of different informations translates directly to ownership, or non-ownership of bitcoins for example
14:55 mircea_popescu unless and untill this becomes transpared to you it is immaterial.
14:55 mircea_popescu after it becomes transparent to you, it already broke that anonimity.
14:56 bounce soldiers are cannon fodder to you, individuals to themselves and their bosses. look, they even wear name tags.
14:56 mircea_popescu but what they are, for as long as they DON

14:58 mircea_popescu funny how accidents work.
14:58 bounce very funny indeed
14:58 davout i don't think that my ability to distinguish derps is really related to their ability to own stuff, it is not necessary for me to be able to know they are able to destroy a bitcoin for them to actually be able to destroy a bitcoin
14:59 mircea_popescu davout your ability to distinguish derps is however central to their ability to exist.
14:59 mircea_popescu you can be bios, but you can not be zoon unrecognised.
15:00 mircea_popescu so yes, animals they can be. people however, they can not be, unless recognised.
15:00 bounce there's this conflation of "person" to mean "someone who matters (to me)", which is highly viewpoint-dependent. your basic definition appears to be "someone who matters in the bitcoin sphere and can be trusted not to fsck up (too badly)". might need a suitable word for that.
15:00 mircea_popescu bounce it merely means "someone who can be distinguished from the others"
15:01 davout what you're saying is pretty much that derps exist in a quantum superposition of owning, and not-owning stuff, and that their actual ownership resolves when i actually observe, aka measure them
15:01 mircea_popescu which reduces to "someone who could, in principle, matter"
15:01 davout right?
15:01 mircea_popescu because the undistinguishable can't ever matter, by definition.
15:01 mircea_popescu davout pretty good approach yeah
15:01 mircea_popescu speaking of "different" derps is like speaking of photons as billiard balls.
15:02 davout that is true if you consider that everything that matters is only what you have knowledge of
15:02 mircea_popescu perhaps an excusable approximation in some narrow cases, but wrong in principle.
15:02 mircea_popescu davout everythint that matters is only what COULD BE HAD knowledge of.
15:02 bounce ``In ancient Rome, the word "persona" (Latin) or "prosopon" ([...]: Greek) originally referred to the masks worn by actors on stage.'' --wikipedia
15:02 mircea_popescu bounce fun fact... that yielded romanian prosop, which means... towel.
15:02 bounce those come in handy hitchhiking
15:04 assbot [HAVELOCK] [PETA] 10 @ 0.0671117 = 0.6711 BTC [-] {5}
15:04 bounce anyway that doesn't help much, since "distinguishing from the others" implies a yardstick, that in turn is a choice bound by context
15:05 mircea_popescu not so.
15:05 mircea_popescu yardstick is a matter of measuring, and thus relegated to quantitative discussions. we're discussing qualitative matters here.
15:06 bounce we're measuring the quality. when is someone a person? whether the scale is actually countable is immaterial.
15:06 bounce s/is countable/has countable subdivisions/
15:06 mircea_popescu nah.
15:07 bounce you still end up with two ends of a stick. "person", "not a person"
15:07 mircea_popescu how are these ends of a stick ? there's no continuum
15:09 bounce or sides. you can discern both states, even if the distance between them is infinitesmal and only exists as an idea to boot
15:09 bounce when's the liquour strong enough? well, if it's over $strength. something like that.
15:10 mircea_popescu let's try a different tack. you know what a cog is. you also know what a sphere is.
15:10 mircea_popescu good anonimity, just like good sphericity, relies on not being a cog. at all.
15:10 mircea_popescu conversely, good cogicity, just like good personhood, relies on not being a sphere. at all.
15:11 davout bounce: the way i understand the argument is that ownership is akin to the state of an electron, until you observe it exists in a superposition of states, it can only have a state when you observe it
15:11 mircea_popescu now, this does not reduce to "liquor being strong ENOUGH"
15:11 assbot [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] 19 @ 0.02838964 = 0.5394 BTC [-] {10}
15:11 mircea_popescu it reduces to being liquour or oil.
15:11 mircea_popescu good oil is not alcohol. good alcohol is not oil.
15:12 davout speaking of which i'm on way to pop the second bottle, please disregard all my further comments
15:12 mircea_popescu there's no serious consideration of an oil-alcohol mixture being "storng enough", as you won't drink vodka-canoia oil cocktails
15:13 bounce disagree. it'd mean that the only good person be a totally non-anonymous person, so, real personhood is only open to, say, obama. or dubya.
15:13 mircea_popescu bounce actually, misplaced shards of anonimity ruin personhood. which is why i keep having to ask derps posing as ceos here "who's we".
15:14 mircea_popescu conversely, misplaced shards of personhood ruin anonimity. such as w/e, silk road guy.
15:19 mircea_popescu "Now academics learn to take a paper or a class of papers, imitate the style, the organization; copy the phraseology, discuss the historical literature and find some wrinkle on the problem that makes it look like a contribution. This is what tends to be published, and this is what seems to be "original". And these works never survive the author."
15:19 mircea_popescu because someone somewhere in a bureaucracy figured it's a good idea to fucking industrialise research.
15:19 mircea_popescu may he never rest.
15:20 bounce guy posing as "CEO" claiming to have lots of minions needs a good team. since claim made, up to him to back it up. that's not quite the same as requiring to know his every move or his every thought.
15:21 bounce s/back it up/&, show he has such a team/ etc. bit forgetful with the details today
15:21 mircea_popescu nobody requires to know his every move or thought in any sense.
15:21 bounce that's be implied through "total non-anonymity" though
15:21 mircea_popescu only iyo.
15:21 bounce no. hence the conflation.
15:22 mircea_popescu the criteria is good wot relations, not "knowing their every thought"
15:22 bounce I'm not disagreeing with what you're trying to say, just that the terminology could stand improvement.
15:22 mircea_popescu the devil himself knows not the thought of man
15:23 bounce (yet god knows every thought of the devil's, and being a good little god... lets him be?)
15:23 mircea_popescu if god actually knew every thought of the devil, he'd have not been surprised.
15:23 mircea_popescu god'd like to. but tis impossible, inasmuch as the devil is human, and god is not that good.
15:23 bounce you're saying the poor devil is unoriginal?
15:23 mircea_popescu i am saying that the poor god is incapable.
15:24 bounce oh well. AIUI paradise lost would beg to differ. haven't gotten around to actually reading the thing.
15:25 mircea_popescu how's it differ ?
15:25 bounce anyway, "good wot relations" means that you've met and dealt with a number of other people, and gathered their esteem, and in doing so gathered a total esteem enough to be deemed worthy of the community as a whole.
15:26 bounce "liqour strong enough" if you will
15:26 mircea_popescu understanding rather than esteem. the people you've dealt with are marks you may be recognised by.
15:26 mircea_popescu in no sense is this a numeric problem,
15:26 mircea_popescu which is why no numeric methods work for this task.
15:27 bounce and every user has a differend yardstick, making the whole thing subjective to use.
15:27 mircea_popescu two hours ago i said i suspect i'm weeks away from a major breakthrough in economics.
15:27 mircea_popescu i think this discussion shaved a week off.
15:27 mircea_popescu bounce im not sure you have a usable definition of subjective in mind.
15:27 bounce also more or less saved me having to do a write-up
15:27 mircea_popescu if it's the kneejerk "not usg diddled" then might as well discard it.
15:30 bounce "subjective" as every user of the wot looking to form an opinion on some other user of the wot does so as he deems good, mayhaps taking into account that raters will also use their own criteria to rate with.
15:30 bounce s/as /as in /
15:30 mircea_popescu so inasmuch as good is done, this is optimal not subjective.
15:31 mircea_popescu if he looked to do what he felt like it could have been subjective, as a proxy for aesthetic i guess.
15:32 bounce what I mean is that even if the outcome is roughly the same for different onlookers, their conclusions are (supposedly) their own; like how you notice that there's no intl. standard of interpreting ratings. nor should there be.
15:33 mircea_popescu which is ultimately why no numerical approach.
15:33 assbot [HAVELOCK] [B.MINE] 6 @ 0.03099869 = 0.186 BTC [+] {5}
15:33 bounce you could still try and throw statistics at it, but that doesn't change the underlying subjectivity
15:33 mircea_popescu are you using "subjectivity" merely to note the fact that the numeric method does not apply ?
15:35 bounce hmno.
15:37 assbot [HAVELOCK] [PETA] 20 @ 0.063133 = 1.2627 BTC [-] {10}
15:38 bounce WOT ratings can well mean different things to you and me. they're not even ment to be used "objectively", ie in a manner independent of people's opinions.
15:39 mircea_popescu give me an example of such an objectively.
15:40 bounce an objective measure? a metre, standard the world over.
15:40 mircea_popescu enacted by ?
15:40 mircea_popescu worst possible fucking example.
15:42 bounce whether I take a tape measure to $derp or you do it, when done correctly we both will conclude the guy's length to be $whatever. that'd be objective. we both look at his WOT ratings, we might well draw different conclusions on the same data.
15:43 bounce we could devise a "standard" scoring test for WOT ratings and still draw differing conclusions based on what we see
15:43 mircea_popescu this is more akin to you using inches and me using cm.
15:43 mircea_popescu both of these "objectively" examples you provide strictly adhere to your definition of subjectivity,
15:43 mircea_popescu they exist as a result of people's opinions.
15:44 bounce er? I gave one objective and one subjective example?
15:45 mircea_popescu <bounce> an objective measure? a metre, standard the world over. < 1 ; <bounce> whether I take a tape measure to $derp or you do it, when done correctly we both will conclude the guy's length to be $whatever. < 2
15:45 mircea_popescu your "done corectly" is there precisely because you too know this :
15:45 mircea_popescu god help us if our opinions of these subjectives do not agree.
15:46 bounce both're objective; I don't need a judgement call here, I look at the tape measure.
15:47 mircea_popescu but you need a judgement call for the tape measure to exist in the first place.
15:48 mircea_popescu you seem to be roughly in the position of the slave who says his master's will is divine in nature, because it's outside of his reach.
15:48 bounce eh, I think we're past that. I can put three lava lamps on a table and count them. you'll count three too. no feels or beliefs involved. even if our counting system is ultimately arbitrary in it existence
15:48 mircea_popescu while outside of his reach it may well be, his master's just another guy.
15:48 mircea_popescu so numbers are your standard of objectivity, but then when i ask you <mircea_popescu> are you using "subjectivity" merely to note the fact that the numeric method does not apply ? you say no.
15:49 assbot [HAVELOCK] [HMF] 50 @ 0.00600001 = 0.3 BTC [+]
15:50 bounce well, what is "the numeric method"? I can devise and use a system of numeric scales based on how much I feel I know about someone else.
15:50 bounce the end result to that would still be subjective. someone else might well feel a different way.

17:09 gribble Rating entry successful. Your rating for user danielpbarron has changed from 1 to 1.
17:09 cgcardona_ thanks btw ^
17:09 artifexd cgcardona_: I wouldn't worry about total wot rating since it is a meaningless number.
17:10 artifexd Sometimes a negative rating would be a good thing depending on who it came from.
17:10 fluffypony like from Supa
17:10 artifexd Imagine you had a negative rating from mtgox with the comment "TROLL!!!!!!"
17:10 cgcardona_ haha.
17:10 artifexd I would see such a rating as reflecting positively on the ratee.
17:10 cgcardona_ interesting way to look at it.
17:13 rithm i'd almost pay for a negrate from mgicaltux
17:13 rithm *magicaltux
17:14 rithm negrate from a scammer is a badge of honor
17:14 artifexd Exactly. So you can't just look at the sum of the ratings and learn anything useful.
17:15 artifexd Does anyone know of any wot visualization tools? I imagine something like bubbles with names and the lines connecting those bubbles are colored/weighted according to the rating.
17:15 bounce sure you can. "person has been rated N times, some positive, some negative." -- negative ratings might well be the more interesting to read.
17:16 artifexd When I said "look at the sum", I meant look at the single number which is the sum of all ratings.
17:17 bounce the fact that it exists at all is an interesting datum, inasmuch it doesn't say "not rated yet"
17:18 bounce if it's well over 10 or -10 that's a clear indication it wasn't by just one rating either
17:18 artifexd I would argue that the fact that it exists at all encourages the improper use of the wot.

23:03 moiety that place looks really nice! i havent seen these pictures, I saw the trilema ones. everyone looks so cute!
23:03 moiety i've been surviving lol im fine. why did you go to the conf benkay?
23:04 moiety not go **
23:05 benkay` not i, not this year. i took some gents with whom i work up to the mountain for 4 days of drinking and talking about what the ever loving fuck we want to do for the next 3-7 years.
23:05 moiety mountain pics??
23:06 moiety did you come to any conclusions?
23:06 moiety i saw kako took a good pic too
23:06 benkay` point clouds
23:07 benkay` and cheapo uav's
23:07 benkay` now it's my job to get us from a where we are to b where we'd like to be which is building cool crap and making money at it
23:08 benkay` but even before that, prototypes.
23:09 benkay` which means banging atoms together. again. still. now.
23:11 moiety gotta lub de atoms
23:12 moiety prototypes of what?
23:13 benkay` perhaps you love the atoms, and perhaps once i did as well, but i tired of the ever-present threat of digit removal.
23:15 moiety i will have this fear to if i ever get to meet a manul
23:15 moiety too*
23:15 moiety also wtf is this shit? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=573801.new#new
23:16 benkay` har those pretty deadly things
23:16 benkay` i was so excited to get my first motoman up 20
23:16 benkay` then i nearly took my own head off with it
23:17 moiety !up benkay`
23:17 assbot Voicing benkay` for 30 minutes.
23:18 moiety loli like typing !up i kinda wish it was !up [user] good boy!
23:18 benkay` anyways. at the close of that gig i made a rule for myself that i would no longer sit at the controls of machines that could maim or kill me.
23:19 moiety did you see that wee hexapod robot that can roll around in any direction?
23:19 moiety im just looking at motoman
23:19 benkay` perhaps, do share?
23:19 benkay` motoman's just a bog-standard dumb dumb robot mfgr.
23:20 benkay` the up-20 (universal payload, I imagine...) was an impressive device. rated at max for 20Kg, and could swing a payload of that size around at lethal speeds.
23:20 benkay` give or take a moment of inertia or three.
23:20 moiety o.o
23:20 moiety sounds vicious
23:21 moiety https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yn3FWb-vQQ4
23:21 ozbot MorpHex, the incredible hexapod robot - YouTube
23:22 moiety motoman looks entirely more useful
23:24 moiety motoman looks vicious in action too
23:24 benkay` interesting clockwork contraption.
23:24 moiety some loud isn't it XD
23:26 benkay` servos tend to be that way.
23:29 benkay` anyways, coming projects have to do with floaty things not moving lots of metal around in production lines so the risk is probably bounded to burning my hands (only things that've been paying my meagre wages since time immemorial).
23:30 moiety this thing scares the life out of me, its really fast
23:30 moiety what kind of floaty things?
23:30 benkay` >> cheapo uavs
23:30 benkay` >> point clouds
23:31 benkay` >> floaty things
23:31 benkay` remainder is left as an exercise to the reader.
23:31 benkay` good talkin' to ya, moiety.
23:31 benkay` smell you later.
23:31 moiety i didnt know what they were, i see now
23:31 moiety later benkay, good to see you
23:34 moiety got distracted by this http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?arnumber=1677723
