asciilifeform: starting from the most nonsensical (e.g. inability to use a can opener)
asciilifeform: always reminds me of this gurl (undergrad) who REALLYWANTED!111 to be a GreatMathematician and decided to... copy the quirks, nervous ticks, of paul erdos. as described in the biography.
mircea_popescu: now this said, more in the general he does have a tedious self-promoting tone. i expect it's scar tissue from years spent in us corps, among idiots disinclined to naturally bow to their betters.
mircea_popescu: just, he doesn't know how to speak, because not educated [in this field] and consequently trades the offending of the many for the offending of the few. obviously a bad deal.
mircea_popescu: but the piece says "dumbass does NOT have a say in how her daughter is used."
asciilifeform: this is not obvious from the linked piece.

mircea_popescu: lol "same neuroanatomical substrate". nobody knows anything anymore do they. "cpu and beach are made of the same granularoabrasive substrate so there may be a secret place to plug in every beach. more non-invasive searching for the beach power cord is in order."
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: i'll save that story for another time. it's a gooder.
asciilifeform: betcha it's another 'banned in eu pederastylands' item
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: eh theory prolly wasn't unique to byron anyways. greeks likely had it.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski et al : where is the auto that still has rubber bumper ?
ben_vulpes: the memory fabricator is in full swing over here. wants to say that it was a tome that fell out of a moldbug piece but i really have nfi.
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: that conclusion only lives here, ie. between the lines.
ben_vulpes: the one, but that's probably not right.
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: and somehow the conclusion that "most humans are barely over the cognitive threshold of a farm animal" never presents itself
ben_vulpes: i can't remember who it was (byron? meep, no clue), but held that "before long, they'll be wanting rights for cats and dogs, cows and hogs"
pete_dushenski: "In particular, the avian forebrain (the part of the brain involved in problem-solving and other higher-order cognitive capacities) is actually derived from the same neuroanatomical substrate as the mammalian forebrain, providing more potential evidence for similar cognitive capacities in the two groups (Jarvis et al. 2005)." << see ? just like you and me.
ben_vulpes: animal rights has been the funniest joke about progressivism since before women were even up for the franchise
pete_dushenski: "My overall conclusion is that chickens are just as cognitively, emotionally and socially complex as most other birds and mammals in many areas, and that there is a need for further noninvasive comparative behavioral research with chickens as well as a re-framing of current views about their intelligence."
pete_dushenski: inb4 'birdbrain' becomes a compliment in the 4th reich

ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: what i really want is a transmission that directs all power to the spinning wheel. it's spinning, that's how you know it's the one that needs the power!
pete_dushenski: 'saddam' my 27yo merc WITH LOCKING DIFF will be taking over dd duty, despite having a much shitter heater, until the roads are cleaned up.
pete_dushenski: it's goddam inexcusable. i think 'progress' is the going claim for open diff v rear locking diff
ben_vulpes: "fuel economy" is the argument, right?
pete_dushenski: the beeping only comes on when tc is REALLY going hard, but flashing dash light flickers with the mildest invocation
pete_dushenski: whoever the fuck thought that an open rear diff could be compensated for by electronic nagging should spend the rest of their lives in noyabrsk
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: glad you liked the piece! always happy to elucidate the strange in the four-wheeled world. but what's the 'c*' thing ?
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: nothing speshul about the chart. just centre-aligned, single-spaced(shift-enter), and used the 'special character' directional arrows. bout it.

asciilifeform: asking for mircea_popescu-style 'sane' programmer is rather like to ask for hygienic sewer repairman. if such a thing is possible it consists of cosmonautic-grade compartment sealing.
mircea_popescu: "human happiness can not be a goal of policy, because the direct solution is also the correct one."
mircea_popescu: diana_coman similarily, the life of the sane programmer is pretty unhappy. by comparison, java-machining-dotnet-etcetera dorks are very fucking happy, going from conference to conference to tell each other how fucking delicious the catered rubber chicken is, and how the 3 bedroom 1 bathroom atrocity is totally worth 1.3mn

mircea_popescu: anyway, i don't mean "unhappy" in the 1850s manchester bereft-of-any-joy sense.
mircea_popescu: yeah, but if he also speaks to you the usual contrition of the sinful is overpowering.
diana_coman: it's not other guy, it's the master; to my mind the master was exactly the chosen god basically
mircea_popescu: follows from the personalization of the relationship to the divine. it's one thing to not manage to imitate the flight of the dragonfly, as michelangelo tried (and yes science is a reinterpretation of the relationship to the divine, doh, what else). it's another to not manage to do what the other guy tells you to.
mircea_popescu: not exactly. there is some vanity in there, now and again, but the substance is just a sort of perfectionism.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, it sounds to me that their unhappiness comes from their own expectation that they are so very best, not from their master's expectations really; if it were from those, then *all* slavegirls would be just as unhappy
mircea_popescu: this then follows in general, the average chump being a sort of windowsy emulation of a slavegirl, and without a master. so ends up reading feedback from /dev/urandom and interpreting it through a similar 50-50 => 1-99 grille.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-09 10:18 diana_coman: well, I don't really think someone can live a very unhappy life due to *others'* expectations; at most due to his/her own
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-09#1599739 << slavegirls can and do live a pretty unhappy life because of master's expectations. this ironically happens the most with the best of 'em, because they tend to be very deaf to praise and very acutely tuned to reprimand.

mircea_popescu: no but it is. trust is the building block of both culture and civilisation, the ideal and real aspects of human society. reasoned trust (see phf's notion of recourse, http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-28#1592296 etc) builds republics and unreasoned trust builds empires.
Framedragger: sure. and that's the best one can have for the time being, and, *given trust*, it works nicely (dare i say, in a community-like aspect). and trust is unavoidable anyway and maybe the best instrument for civilisation. (also, need coffee)
mircea_popescu: and why kids ask "why" universally across time, space and culture ; and why idiots answer "because that's the way it is" out of fucking line.
mircea_popescu: what you've both done is - summarized a familiar topic for the benefit for foreigners.
mircea_popescu: because no, the difference between pete explaining in summary how the fuck cars got fucked and you giving the keys to working wp to taleb is not substantial.
mircea_popescu: until and unless, we're stuck doing the communion favour for each other, whereby the hope is that someone in the republic will be capable to summarize something you don't understand ; and you can trust he's not fucking you over in so doing.
mircea_popescu: hey, i dream the same. but the truth is, until there's enough critical mass of those "another persons", there's no good way to fix anything.
Framedragger: gotcha. (and agree). i still dream of easily-reproducible systems, though. but one way to abstract away the idiosyncrasies (of say wordpress) is exactly what you said: another person.
mircea_popescu: this is how a mother acts, and why kids have not much business with her past the age of about 10 or so, depending how retarded they are.
mircea_popescu: it is contemptible and beyond contemptible to rely on his ignorance, disinterest AND COWARDICE to get him on a windowsesque thing which "works", and provided he's willing to adapt what he wants done to what the butons say, all will be well.
mircea_popescu: this is how a father acts.
mircea_popescu: it is admirable to compensate for his ignorance or disinterest, to the perhaps extreme level of doing the hardware, and the os, and the http server and the php on top of it yourself, if you like the guy enough. more power to you. but it is still something of his, which even if delegated he still owns.
mircea_popescu: THIS is the important thing, and the only thing that matters ; and this is the fundamental reason we hate, equally, and forever, medium, blogspot, whatever the fuck. "convenience" my right foot. it's never convenient to be stupid, and it is absolutely never convenient to be locked into being stupid.

mircea_popescu: and before anyone asks : the advantage of this is that this solution scales. ACTUALLY scales. specifically, if at any point in his own time and for any reason in ~his own domain~ taleb wants to get more control, he can. he actually can. you explain to him, when he asks, HOW to be more in control of his mp-wp install. in terms of configuring the php script, or in terms of configuring the apache server, or in terms of configuri

mircea_popescu: the usg is veheheheeery fragile.

mircea_popescu: that's a real threat model, because of how bitcoin works chain differentials are real leverage in the hands of enemy.

ben_vulpes: best i have is that woman adapts and survives and man dies broken, fighting to the last breath
Framedragger: right. and yes i agree, seems to be the case.
Framedragger: or more precisely, have there been no instances of such?
Framedragger: hm, isn't that because of gender role legacy, with "man taking the burden" and all that? i'm sure this oversimplifies things - it's an interesting thought
ben_vulpes: heh which reminds me: http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/attachments/20170101/attachment.txt?sha1=054f90b71ea58b51b3dd37774b495d5f7e85afee << zero income foundation carries on the zero asset legacy :P

Framedragger: vanilla wp may work, yes... i hear some folx use medium because it offers "exposure". i wonder if there's anything to it (probably not). i guess you see popular articles when you go to medium.com, or something..
Framedragger: (just complained to taleb about him using medium. this whole "scrape article right after it's published because the unicorn it's riding on may go really go down soon" is a bit stupid. on the small off chance that he replies with a request for a suggestion to be considered, i wonder if there's anything to actually be suggested. need to search for a bit (i'm certain he wouldn't fuck around with mp-wp unfortunately)..)

ben_vulpes: it might not be so bad at that, there's one command to compile, and a single keypress to abort a failed compilation. ofc, you'll have to either edit directly in emacs (strongly recommended for parens-balancing reasons) or edit the file in something else of your choice (not recommended because no parens balancing) and then loading the file in a persistent lisp session in tmux or whatever
ben_vulpes: i think you'd get significant mileage out of it, but the cognitive overhead would probably enrage you.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-07 18:04 mircea_popescu: ah. the way i was thinking this'd work would be : the bot answers to any lines where its name is mentioned ; and i can update its "brain" with a !^ url style command. whereby it replaces its "ai" code with the content of the file.
davout: and i'm really not sure the necessary prevouts wouldn't be rejected as 'attack-preparation' by random miners
davout: you just need to have the outs at hand
davout: mircea_popescu: not sure the blocks need to be mined in succession
mircea_popescu: "i know, let's put a fucking forth parser into the consensus system, that'll be so fucken smart!"
mircea_popescu: anyway, that aside, fixing this in trb may be worth the doing. though in my mind it was slated for when we actually do trb-i, to be shot in head with the whole "script" idiocy.
mircea_popescu: needs to mine about 3 blocks in succession to do anything visible. and the visible something will probably be his 3 block thing being an orphan.

mircea_popescu: the sheer idiocy of building contracts into money can not be properly appreciated by coders, sadly.
ben_vulpes: this is perhaps the one instance in the history of the world where the software schelling point might actually migrate /away/ from complexity.
mircea_popescu: the whole "native support for '''contracts'''" in satoshi's spaghetti is exactly equivalent to his support for '''accounts'''. deeply misguided, entirely useless, pure wildman nonsense.
mircea_popescu: tbh /me has little intention to support anything but the above in trb-i. no fucking "scripts". name your input, name your output, sign. that's it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you don't have to evaluate the script. you have to check that the inputs exist, check that the txn is signed, and that's that. all the nutty bs "scripts" do is not of any interest, not really.
asciilifeform off to trb room to verify this statement. and then to bed.
davout: "Additionally I have done extensive fuzzing to ensure the result is identical to the current implementation."
asciilifeform: davout: for mempool tx i can just ban the opcode.
davout: (assuming you have the pre-requisites already in block)
mircea_popescu: davout the way this works is by piling a bunch of slow txn.
davout: "It is possible to use a standard p2sh transaction as the attack vector, but it seems to be a transaction that takes no more than 500 msec to be verified." <<< this part confused my parser
davout: asciilifeform: it isn't very clear to me if the actual attack ~must~ be a P2SH transaction

mircea_popescu: that's like buying house for 2.5 the price of bulk brick
mircea_popescu: steel billet is like 300, 20 foot dry container is like 2.3 tons tare, so that's about 700 out of the 1.7 just the price of the metal.

mircea_popescu: which is the summa : wikipedia is meaningless and uninteresting ; that it does so through the mechanism of advertising "not using advertising" and asking for "donations", and that it manages to chump randos into turning large piles of banal trivia into an agglomeration of garbage is entirely incidental.
mircea_popescu: the other speaks to accuracy. there is a reason man pages are written by the authors of the software, not by a conclave of self-identified users of said software. a measure of accuracy could certainly be devised whereby the 2nd version is "just as accurate" as a proper man page. nevertheless, it would not in the slightest be INTERESTING.
mircea_popescu: anyway, for the noobs : to specific objections are raised here. one speaks to corectness : a random "reality tv" show may include elements which, inasmuch as they factually exist, are actually true, such as a curb, or a window pane. nevertheless, this does not make the reality tv show MEANINGFUL.
mircea_popescu: i always read it as a "i am dedicated to the empire and won't miss an opportunity to spam its tendrils". exactly the same substance as the "seo expert" pushing colon cleanser or w/e. just vaguely different clothing.
mircea_popescu: if i don't agree with what you mean by dog, pointing to the tv set is unlikely to resolve much.
