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.
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.
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.
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.
pete_dushenski: at least the ghetto creep is...slow
pete_dushenski: the apes don't have cranes, wrecking balls, and tnt
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.
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

adlai waits for the sharing economy (bike rental) to make sweet decentralized love with the service economy (relocating to meet expected demand)... lard and lazy pay swole to pump

kuzetsa: I just stopped in 'cause danielpbarron noticed I hadn't been around and took the time to figure out what happened
adlai: that's nice of him to do!
adlai wonders whether we'll ever hear back from DrWoT, the PhD-to-be... there is definitely some spinnable bullshit in the wot fork
danielpbarron: kuzetsa, you still hang out in -otc ?
kuzetsa: adlai: well I read that (skimmed) and couldn't glean any useful heuristic or philisophical insight
adlai: some professions employ jargon, and there's a reason for it

kuzetsa: *just lurking in there, mostly -- [...]
danielpbarron: any good conversations?

kuzetsa: in ##bitcoin the best conversation I recall lately ... nothing memorable actually
danielpbarron: sounds about right (TM)
kuzetsa: adlai: I don't disagree, but I don't understand your point either -- idioms aren't my thing :(
phf: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=29-08-2015#1255346 << not sure if you noticed that 4.4bsd vi had lisp mode (and nothing else language wise). man page claims that some indent commands would actually do proper lisp indentation. sometimes i'd like to track it down and see what exactly the had there..

danielpbarron: oh wait, who runs double-hash-bitcoin ? I assume this is different from the one gmaxwell or whoever banned me from
adlai: kuzetsa: ahh, i don't have a point.
kuzetsa: adlai: no worries
adlai: i'm just throwing links around and hoping something will stick.
adlai goes back to spam that costs money
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
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
kuzetsa: my political views are frowned upon in here by a few people (at times, loudly)
danielpbarron: well I knew who he was too, but I guess that's because I'm in close proximity to Vermont
kuzetsa: fair enough
danielpbarron: yeah and I'm the only one in here that believes the entire Bible
kuzetsa: curious on that
kuzetsa: literalist or do you understand some of it to be metaphorical / superstitious in nature?
danielpbarron: literal
danielpbarron: you got any money on sanders to win? there's a bitbet!
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
kuzetsa: if taken literally though, god was angry and made you sick
kuzetsa: lack of a modern sense of sanitation wasn't the cause, it was god being angry
danielpbarron: well that's a strange translation you got there
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)
danielpbarron: but yes, God does make us sick
kuzetsa: well that's awfully inconsiderate of a deity
kuzetsa: I don't personally believe gods to be that jerk-ish
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.
kuzetsa: shrug
kuzetsa: ah ok, that's out of "The Song of Moses"
kuzetsa: context matters
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."
kuzetsa: hmm
kuzetsa: "Blessing of Moses" too allright
kuzetsa: IDK, the poetry sections of scripture aren't easy for me to take literal in a serious way
kuzetsa: to each their own
danielpbarron: Job 11:11 For He knows deceitful men; He sees wickedness also. Will He not then consider it?
danielpbarron: re: God being considerate
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)
danielpbarron: God told her not to look back
kuzetsa: killing someone because they didn't do as they were told is pretty dickish
danielpbarron: not doing as you are told is pretty dickish
kuzetsa: ... my leftist views here are pretty inflexible
danielpbarron: when told by your betters at least
kuzetsa: authority to ... no
kuzetsa: betters don't exist
kuzetsa: that's not a thing I believe in
kuzetsa: it's a philisophical / societal / institutional construct, and not legitimate in any way
danielpbarron: the legitimacy is enforced by the better by virtue of him being better
danielpbarron: the losers can complain about this.. and maybe they'll catch a beating for it
kuzetsa: feel free to downrate me or whatever on the way out
phf: womp
mats: #bible-study
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
pete_dushenski: me thinks he is a she fwiw
danielpbarron: pete_dushenski, do you remember her or did you pick that up from this conversation?
pete_dushenski: y'know it might be a bit of both
pete_dushenski: it's a pretty fuzzy sense, admittedly
adlai: ahh shit the channel ran out of nice spoons

adlai: B is better than A because it'd make black's territory larger if black played, whereas A is basically a wasted move for black
adlai wonders at the degree to which AlphaGo plays against itself ~during~, not between, games
adlai: this at least is an easy technique for crude optimization of nnn play: find your opponent's best move, and play it yourself

cazalla_: evening, composing a comment bitching on trilema.com in the meantime
cazalla_: had a few, so you know, wine, truth lol
mircea_popescu puts !down in a buffer just in case.
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
mircea_popescu: as opposed to which day and age ?
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
cazalla_: i dunno what day and age, can't be much worse than the current year
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.
cazalla_: my fault for being stupid enough to figure someone mature enough to think topping yourself is a reasonable thought though
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.
mircea_popescu: consequently - the cash crop agros (soy) got butthurt and still didn't liquidate.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile however, total sales ytd crossed 3bn usd, up 50% from last ytd. why ?
mircea_popescu: food crop (corn) went up like 800%.

cazalla: for who though
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 ?
mircea_popescu: shinohai it does actually work, least of which because she gotta relax to take it or else it hurts.
cazalla: mircea_popescu, what womens pukes from there on a daily basis? i sure as fuck don't want shit on my cock
mircea_popescu: use a condom like everyone sane.

mircea_popescu: adlai i dun follow ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it was re the entire marginal autistic child trapped in an adult body thing.
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
assbot: The all-American asshole, in his own words, with my own notes on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1PIi3El )
mircea_popescu: adlai i didn't get the idea alphago was a single instance.
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.
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".

mircea_popescu: which is a cheap heuristic and likely to beat a good chunk of players.
mircea_popescu: and the whole nn talk is just smoke and mirrors built atop that simple idea, basically.
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
asciilifeform: adlai: this is actually sop in the machine-go business
mircea_popescu: this is, afail, how most people deliberately taught go are taught go
asciilifeform: whereby the whole thing is quite snore
mircea_popescu: it's not necessarily a bad approach, i guess, but it doesn't make for a good player.
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
asciilifeform: adlai: all training sets include pro matches
asciilifeform: considering that you can get them by the GB !
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.)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: to say 'take this pile of life&death problem books and solve all 10,001 problems' is the only thing.
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.

asciilifeform: adlai: these folks really itching for another 'ai winter' aren't they.
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.
adlai: market goes up, market does down. AGI can't explain that!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, it's not that. it's that google is desperate for stuff to make the shareholders dream another year.

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.
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.
peterl: it's like syncing the blockchain, it takes forever, and you have to keep connected once you do catch up
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: ty, can't promise it'll go up immediately

peterl: linton_s_dawson there have been several suggested ways to summarize logs, but nobody has taken the time/put in the effort yet
punkman: linton_s_dawson: topic of log summaries comes up often, nobody delivers
peterl: it seems like something that would require active management to keep it up to date
linton_s_dawson: The questions is whether it can be automated or done by contributors.
punkman: are you gonna train some neural network?
linton_s_dawson: If done properly it may get enough traffic to earn from advertisement? And then distribute earnings to contributors.
peterl: advertising revenue is a bad business model
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: Looks like <blockquote> is missing. deweird the html and resubmit
linton_s_dawson: peterl at this stage most defnitely.
peterl: sounds like a way to make pennies per hour (if you are lucky)
danielpbarron: blockquote where? I see it in the correct place on my end
punkman: I can see a summary subscription thing making some money eventually
danielpbarron: the weirdness is that i put a block quote in a list item in an ordered list
