00:00 pete_dushenski but with no economic pressure to tear down those monuments in philly, they're not going anywhere either. and good bones on a city can always find new uses, even if there are fits and starts between 'ideal' (ie. high cultural) uses.
00:00 phf on one hand you have areas past art museum, which are basically abandoned lands of early american aristocracy. donated to "the people" to take care of, now they exist as ghetto bordering no mans lands.
00:01 pete_dushenski phf: trust me when i saw that it's even worse when the arivistes come rampaging through town in a flurry of nownownow-ism and tear the whole lot down right before your eyes.
00:01 phf on the other hand you have fishtown and north, forther industrial centers (long out of business companies that used to make ship and locomotive engines and such) are now either ghettos or white trash areas.
00:02 pete_dushenski at least the ghetto creep is...slow
00:02 pete_dushenski the apes don't have cranes, wrecking balls, and tnt
00:03 phf i agree though, i like that philly is a no mans land, since there's no developers or Control or particularly strong presence of usg.
00:05 phf there are parts by the waterfront where on weekends you can see an assortment of underclasses and weirdos. mexicans fishing, blacks riding dirt bikes, white trash drinking. kind of cool, i'll take that anytime over the overdeveloped DC

00:27 kuzetsa my coupling to assbot was always 2nd level before today
00:27 kuzetsa and I think maybe an op or two who uprated me ended up neg-rated by enough people who were 1-degree coupled to assbot or ... IDK really

00:44 kuzetsa I just stopped in 'cause danielpbarron noticed I hadn't been around and took the time to figure out what happened
00:44 adlai that's nice of him to do!
00:45 * adlai wonders whether we'll ever hear back from DrWoT, the PhD-to-be... there is definitely some spinnable bullshit in the wot fork
00:46 danielpbarron kuzetsa, you still hang out in -otc ?
00:46 kuzetsa adlai: well I read that (skimmed) and couldn't glean any useful heuristic or philisophical insight
00:46 adlai some professions employ jargon, and there's a reason for it
00:46 kuzetsa danielpbarron: lurking in the mostly -- more conversations happen in ##bitcoin in my case because I prefer not to have non-otc / non-trading talks in -otc

00:47 danielpbarron any good conversations?
00:47 adlai kuzetsa: eventually jargon can wag its dog, shaping the mother tongue more strongly than the other way around
00:47 kuzetsa in ##bitcoin the best conversation I recall lately ... nothing memorable actually
00:47 danielpbarron sounds about right (TM)
00:48 kuzetsa adlai: I don't disagree, but I don't understand your point either -- idioms aren't my thing :(

00:48 danielpbarron oh wait, who runs double-hash-bitcoin ? I assume this is different from the one gmaxwell or whoever banned me from
00:48 adlai kuzetsa: ahh, i don't have a point.
00:48 kuzetsa adlai: no worries
00:48 adlai i'm just throwing links around and hoping something will stick.
00:49 * adlai goes back to spam that costs money
00:49 kuzetsa well you highlighted me several times, and even though the content wasn't anything I immediately understood and related to, the friendly tone seemed welcoming and I appreciate that -- the impression stuck, if nothing else :D
00:51 kuzetsa danielpbarron: one of the main reasons I didn't seek to figure out why I could no longer !up is because I'm legitimately a left-wing democratic socialist and knew who bernie sanders was before he announced the POTUS run
00:51 kuzetsa my political views are frowned upon in here by a few people (at times, loudly)
00:51 danielpbarron well I knew who he was too, but I guess that's because I'm in close proximity to Vermont
00:51 kuzetsa fair enough
00:52 danielpbarron yeah and I'm the only one in here that believes the entire Bible
00:52 kuzetsa curious on that
00:52 kuzetsa literalist or do you understand some of it to be metaphorical / superstitious in nature?
00:52 danielpbarron literal
00:54 danielpbarron you got any money on sanders to win? there's a bitbet!
00:54 kuzetsa Deuteronomy 23:14-15 ~~ always carry a shovel and be sure to use it to bury your poo so god doesn't step in it ... if taken literally, I'm thinking at best the understanding of germ theory wasn't going to be around for over a thousand years so the beliefs were genuinely held, though not literal
00:54 kuzetsa if taken literally though, god was angry and made you sick
00:55 kuzetsa lack of a modern sense of sanitation wasn't the cause, it was god being angry
00:55 danielpbarron well that's a strange translation you got there
00:55 kuzetsa "always carry a shovel and be sure to use it to bury your poo so god doesn't step in it" <<< any translation you want is fine, that's my own paraphrase (I compared several translations for this particular passage, and the meaning is always the same)
00:55 danielpbarron but yes, God does make us sick
00:56 kuzetsa well that's awfully inconsiderate of a deity
00:56 kuzetsa I don't personally believe gods to be that jerk-ish
00:56 danielpbarron Deuteronomy 32:39 'Now see that I, even I, am He, And there is no God besides Me; I kill and I make alive; I wound and I heal; Nor is there any who can deliver from My hand.
00:57 kuzetsa shrug
00:59 kuzetsa ah ok, that's out of "The Song of Moses"
00:59 kuzetsa context matters
00:59 danielpbarron Exodus 33:13 Now therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight, show me now Your way, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight. And consider that this nation is Your people."
01:01 kuzetsa hmm
01:01 kuzetsa "Blessing of Moses" too allright
01:02 kuzetsa IDK, the poetry sections of scripture aren't easy for me to take literal in a serious way
01:02 kuzetsa to each their own
01:02 danielpbarron Job 11:11 For He knows deceitful men; He sees wickedness also. Will He not then consider it?
01:02 danielpbarron re: God being considerate
01:03 kuzetsa eh
01:06 kuzetsa Genesis 19:26 ~~ But Lot's wife looked back. When she did, she became a pillar made out of salt. <<< like I said, inconsiderate, I can't hardly undersatand the idea of natural disaster being an act of god, and for something as innocent as looking over your shoulder to be cause for death is p much overkill no matter who you are (deity or otherwise)
01:06 danielpbarron God told her not to look back
01:06 kuzetsa killing someone because they didn't do as they were told is pretty dickish
01:07 danielpbarron not doing as you are told is pretty dickish
01:07 kuzetsa ... my leftist views here are pretty inflexible
01:07 danielpbarron when told by your betters at least
01:07 kuzetsa authority to ... no
01:07 kuzetsa betters don't exist
01:07 kuzetsa that's not a thing I believe in
01:08 kuzetsa it's a philisophical / societal / institutional construct, and not legitimate in any way
01:08 danielpbarron the legitimacy is enforced by the better by virtue of him being better
01:09 danielpbarron the losers can complain about this.. and maybe they'll catch a beating for it
01:09 kuzetsa feel free to downrate me or whatever on the way out
01:09 danielpbarron aww
01:11 phf womp
01:17 mats #bible-study
01:23 phf it just looks like the issue is not so much that his views are frowned upon, it's that he can't handle opposite opinions
01:29 pete_dushenski me thinks he is a she fwiw
01:31 danielpbarron pete_dushenski, do you remember her or did you pick that up from this conversation?
01:32 pete_dushenski y'know it might be a bit of both
01:33 pete_dushenski it's a pretty fuzzy sense, admittedly
01:34 adlai ahh shit the channel ran out of nice spoons

07:39 mircea_popescu !up cazalla_
07:40 cazalla_ evening, composing a comment bitching on trilema.com in the meantime
07:41 cazalla_ had a few, so you know, wine, truth lol
07:42 mircea_popescu lol
07:42 * mircea_popescu puts !down in a buffer just in case.
07:51 cazalla_ meh, i am just angry as i let my guard down the other day and mentioned to someone that considering suicide is a logical and rational thought in this day and age
07:51 mircea_popescu as opposed to which day and age ?
07:52 cazalla_ fucking idiots called a CAT (crisis assesment team) on me the other day because hey, if you're not enthusiastic to work shitty jobs to buy coke, watch blah blah housewives on tv and want to pay top dollar for plastic shit out of china, well, ya mentally ill
07:52 cazalla_ i dunno what day and age, can't be much worse than the current year
07:53 mircea_popescu in other lulz of all time : new argentine govt negotiated a deal with the agros : govt lets dollar go ; agros stop hoarding and sell. the govt let the dollar go. however, for all its posturing, the buenos aires black market turned out to be relatively powerless in face of this, and so from a 8.5 official / 14.0 black market, the liberalised dollar settled at 13.5.
07:53 cazalla_ my fault for being stupid enough to figure someone mature enough to think topping yourself is a reasonable thought though
07:53 mircea_popescu this was obvious to anyone who isn't mentally retarded by virtue of being born out of the union of a lazy man and a stupid cow, like every single argentine.
07:53 mircea_popescu consequently - the cash crop agros (soy) got butthurt and still didn't liquidate.
07:54 mircea_popescu meanwhile however, total sales ytd crossed 3bn usd, up 50% from last ytd. why ?
07:54 mircea_popescu guess.
07:54 mircea_popescu food crop (corn) went up like 800%.
07:54 mircea_popescu idiots are going to fucking starve. epic.
07:55 mircea_popescu if this doesn't prove that it is practically impossible to govern stupid people, i have no idea what would.
07:56 cazalla_ mm corn, grew some this summer, not bad.. burned and charcoal that mother fucker in some butter with some 'matoes for breakfast
07:57 cazalla_ tomatoes out the ass
07:57 mircea_popescu so how's life, other than not being able to find people to talk to.
07:57 mircea_popescu !up MartinShkreli

08:26 mircea_popescu the general stance of medicine, for about eleven centuries or so, has been that nobody cares what people think ; but if it interferes with their lives.
08:26 mircea_popescu it's the deep root behind the russian "slow acting psychosis" and the dsm and all the jazz.
08:26 cazalla well, this has interfered with my life for the past 10 years, but one develops coping mechanisms because one has no choice, other hten to top oneself, which i am not too keen on
08:27 cazalla i've gone as far as a ct coronary angiogram.. nothing
08:27 mircea_popescu i hear anal sex relaxes one.

08:41 shinohai how 'bout an anal fuck? mircea_popescu says it relieves stress!
08:42 shinohai "oh yeah, I guess you're right!" *bends over*
08:42 cazalla for who though
08:42 mircea_popescu cazalla you know i don't follow the logic of this. so no anal sex because she on occasion shits from there ? for one thing, if you want her to, she can banana from there, just stick one in. for the other thing - no oral sex either ? she pukes from there! you like puke more than shit ? what about normal hole, she bleeds from there not to mention babies from there. are you a pedo now because you fuck the baby hole ?
08:42 mircea_popescu shinohai it does actually work, least of which because she gotta relax to take it or else it hurts.
08:42 cazalla mircea_popescu, what womens pukes from there on a daily basis? i sure as fuck don't want shit on my cock
08:42 mircea_popescu use a condom like everyone sane.
08:43 cazalla fuck condoms
08:43 shinohai ^
08:43 mircea_popescu that's the idea.
08:43 cazalla rather jack off on xhamster than use condoms
08:43 mircea_popescu and i fucked at least a coupla that puked on a super-daily basis.

08:44 mircea_popescu SOME EAT THE SHIT BEFORE THEY PUKE IT OUT AND EAT IT AGAIN!11
08:44 shinohai Just think "hey my cock is so big it makes her puke!" You'll feel better about it! :D
08:44 cazalla if you enjoy it, or others, idc, but never seen the appeal, as mentioned before, i was pressured into it and she cried lol
08:44 mircea_popescu wait, bubba pressured you into doing the missus in the pooper ?
08:44 cazalla if it's purely to humilate and pwn her, i get it, but for ones own enjoyment, i don't see it, for myself anyway
08:44 cazalla clearly not
08:45 cazalla biological urge is to knock her up whether i really want it or not
08:45 cazalla and clearly i really want to

08:54 mircea_popescu the inconvenient truth of the matter is that there isn't enough hope to go around to everyone ; and moreover that intelligence per se is a miserable predictor for this.
08:55 mircea_popescu it's true that [a certain subset of parents] treats their kids intelligence as a sort of surogate beauty/athletic promise/musical talent,
08:55 mircea_popescu that'll perhaps feed and clothe their wormy offspring when they won't be able to.
08:55 mircea_popescu nevertheless, intelligence in and of itself is not useful to the intelligent.

10:57 adlai mircea_popescu: as i understand it, 'alphago' is a system for training a go-move-scoring ANN against itself, from an initial seed of positions taken from human games. the product of this is a single instance which can play a game against a human, or itself, and "learn" - producing another instance of itself

10:58 assbot The all-American asshole, in his own words, with my own notes on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1PIi3El )
10:58 mircea_popescu adlai i didn't get the idea alphago was a single instance.
10:59 adlai the only possible hope I see for a surprise victory is if something qualitatively different happens once they seed the whole story with professional matches. the 'instance' (in the sense of (make-instance 'alphago), not in the sense of "machine") which beat Fan Hui was seeded off amateur games alone.
10:59 mircea_popescu my understanding, quite rudimentary i admit, is that instead of iterating through all possible single-move changes to the board, the machine iterates through "all commonly seen cluster-level changes to the board".

10:59 mircea_popescu which is a cheap heuristic and likely to beat a good chunk of players.
11:00 mircea_popescu and the whole nn talk is just smoke and mirrors built atop that simple idea, basically.
11:00 adlai thus the navel gazing comment. it seems to me that alphago-which-beat-fanhui was analogous to an amateur who spent 1000 "human-years" of time playing against itself, and now has enough "spider sense" for macro-tactics to almost fake understanding strategy
11:00 asciilifeform adlai: this is actually sop in the machine-go business
11:01 mircea_popescu this is, afail, how most people deliberately taught go are taught go
11:01 asciilifeform whereby the whole thing is quite snore
11:01 mircea_popescu it's not necessarily a bad approach, i guess, but it doesn't make for a good player.
11:01 adlai the only unknown in the story is what happens when the seed set includes professional matches... my inkling so far is that amateur matches include good moves, professional matches include less bad ones
11:02 asciilifeform adlai: all training sets include pro matches
11:02 asciilifeform considering that you can get them by the GB !
11:02 mircea_popescu (i don't believe in teaching go. which is to say - i do not believe there is a single thing you can say to a new player whicfh provably does more good than bad.)
11:02 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: to say 'take this pile of life&death problem books and solve all 10,001 problems' is the only thing.
11:02 adlai discussion of alphago on several sites mentions hearsay-level evidence that the bot facing Fan Hui had only ever 'studied' amateur games, or its own games.
11:03 adlai iirc this is in the video. hang on.

11:05 mircea_popescu asciilifeform consumer level security is always an affair directed more at the neighbour's teenaged sons than anything.
11:05 BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: I'm serious. Cool things happen near the compact shelving and study cages because the undergrads wonder who the fuck goes there.
11:05 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: i disagree. it is directed at ~own head~ typically
11:05 asciilifeform placebocin.
11:06 adlai asciilifeform: hearsay traces back to the paper! the team claims not to seed with a single pro game.
11:06 mircea_popescu well also.
11:06 adlai this is apparently some point of pride for folks in the "the machine does everything, i just gave birth" crowd
11:06 asciilifeform adlai: these folks really itching for another 'ai winter' aren't they.
11:07 mircea_popescu adlai in principle, showing that "seed" from sewer or palace leads to the same result is ~= to proof the process is pure metaphysics.
11:07 adlai market goes up, market does down. AGI can't explain that!
11:07 mircea_popescu asciilifeform no, it's not that. it's that google is desperate for stuff to make the shareholders dream another year.
11:08 mircea_popescu otherwise, the game of musical chairs is that 10 trn imaginary tokens were distributed between three exactly identical slashdots such that two got > 99%.
11:08 * adlai waits for MIRI to close shop, concluding that from a purely utilitarian point of view, grey goo is really best for everyone involved
11:08 mircea_popescu simple thermodynamics requires this situation to destabilize over time.
11:08 mircea_popescu adlai not to mention what humans are ALREADY emulating.
11:09 adlai what's this?
11:09 mircea_popescu can you explain the difference between israel as it is and israel occupied by two feet tall grey goo ?
11:09 adlai is it jewishly democratic grey goo, or gooishly gray democratic judaism?
11:09 mircea_popescu neither. just... goos along.
11:10 adlai at least parlimentary democracies float up lulz like "Party for Men's Rights, and Those of Taxi Drivers" (rough translation)
11:10 mircea_popescu turns out in retrospect the only thing distinguishing humans and dog vomit was poor connectivity. once that was fixed...
11:11 mircea_popescu dog vomit makes fascinating patterns also!

12:02 asciilifeform yes.

12:03 asciilifeform another if we're splitting things for no apparent reason
12:03 asciilifeform it intereferes with fits-in-head and therefore harmful.

12:04 trinque ok, that all sounds fine
12:07 asciilifeform re: earlier thread, i often wonder what fraction of jurov's customers earn back the fee
12:07 asciilifeform i'ma guess it is few
12:08 asciilifeform most folks, as mircea_popescu wrote, want to 'feel like traders'
12:08 asciilifeform i do not need this for anything.
12:10 asciilifeform can't speak for others, but i call things that require daily sweat to keep from going to shit - 'jobs'. and i want ~fewer~ of these rather than moar.
12:13 punkman you buy 2k MPOE shares for 0.00055, you sell them at 0.00056, make enough for the fee. takes about 10 minutes every 6 months.
12:13 asciilifeform and if it doesn't n+0.00001 ?
12:13 asciilifeform then what ?
12:13 punkman you wait another month maybe
12:13 asciilifeform and what, fee is not charged ?
12:13 punkman so?
12:13 asciilifeform so you lose.
12:14 asciilifeform i can lose downstairs in the lottery machine.
12:14 asciilifeform don't need to spend the 10 min.
12:14 asciilifeform take 10 seconds.
12:15 asciilifeform and if i want to lose from my terminal, i can play dice.
12:15 asciilifeform also faster.
12:15 punkman +-0.00001 happens often enough, it's really not much trouble.
12:15 asciilifeform or i can go to the street and burn a pyre of money. it is moar fun.
12:15 asciilifeform punkman: did you ever actually calculate the EV or just handwaving ?
12:16 punkman what EV?

12:23 adlai "Account management fee is asked only from accounts that hold any BTC or any assets by 1st of current month"
12:23 punkman well I pay so I can "own" some shares, not to gamble
12:23 asciilifeform wtf is the point of that
12:23 adlai feeling like an owner!
12:23 danielpbarron ask shareholders of qntra over the last months what was the point?
12:24 danielpbarron i didn't sell any of the shares i earned for writing
12:24 asciilifeform i don't recall a qntra dividend .
12:24 danielpbarron i think a dividend is more like a consolation prize
12:24 asciilifeform the 'value so long as everybody doesn't sell' doesn't interest me a lick.
12:24 punkman asciilifeform: I was roped into it after kako and mp gifted me some bbet shares
12:25 asciilifeform danielpbarron: dividend is the only way to get continuous milk from the cow, instead of meat
12:28 punkman o hey my bbet dividend covered this month's fee
12:30 punkman and seems I got about 0.58 for my one qntra article's worth of shares, not bad
12:44 adlai arguably, now that bitbet is getting more advertising, punkman owns part of a brand; practically speaking, one can't buy the bitbet brand without enriching punkman a little (short of shorting s.bbet a lottle)
12:46 danielpbarron if we're gonna compare a stake in a company to a single cow.. it's quite the remarkable cow; one which you can add and remove meat easily without bothering the beast, and milk it too!

13:45 linton_s_dawson It goes without saying that catching up with everything since the beginning (if you are new blood) is tiresome. You could use Search to find discussions on specific topics but will still miss something important.
13:45 linton_s_dawson So the idea is to create "The b-a chronicles" that will highlight important events/discussions/propositions with links to the context. Catching up will boil down to picking a specific date and seeing what happened on that day in a simple manner with links to the context.
13:45 peterl it's like syncing the blockchain, it takes forever, and you have to keep connected once you do catch up
13:46 BingoBoingo danielpbarron: ty, can't promise it'll go up immediately
13:46 danielpbarron no rush, and maybe you'll need to scold me for doing some strange things with html; I'm not sure what my limits are exactly
13:46 peterl linton_s_dawson there have been several suggested ways to summarize logs, but nobody has taken the time/put in the effort yet
13:46 punkman linton_s_dawson: topic of log summaries comes up often, nobody delivers
13:47 peterl it seems like something that would require active management to keep it up to date
13:47 linton_s_dawson The questions is whether it can be automated or done by contributors.
13:49 punkman are you gonna train some neural network?
13:49 linton_s_dawson If done properly it may get enough traffic to earn from advertisement? And then distribute earnings to contributors.
