ben_vulpes: !!reputation oleanie
ben_vulpes: suppose that woulda been done for her.
ben_vulpes: migrated to #t wot?
ben_vulpes: had key?
ben_vulpes: note how veen went from "my business partner" to "veen", but "my wife" is still -- mine
ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-21#1616348 << do "marriage" and "divorce" even have much of a place in the republic?
ben_vulpes: hm.
ben_vulpes: i shall read, think -- later.
ben_vulpes: wires is neat asciilifeform
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: what means "state to petraeus" then?
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: so what's going to happen with tillerson?
ben_vulpes: too many 'tits at dinner', i guess, they all run together
ben_vulpes: looks like a rerun
ben_vulpes: aka heat required to raise a gram of the material 1c
ben_vulpes: caloric capacity
ben_vulpes: the search for life that's more or less pretty much just like us, so far away as to provide a nice escape out of having to do anything other than write grants
ben_vulpes: ty asciilifeform
ben_vulpes: later
ben_vulpes: mhm "even google ai is better at driving than most people"
ben_vulpes off
ben_vulpes: yeah, meatsacks shouldn't operate their own road ice.
ben_vulpes: hah
ben_vulpes: i discern that people are really bad drivers
ben_vulpes: hue
ben_vulpes: aah. hey is the fed ai yet?
ben_vulpes: 'ai' to handle the unexpected situation/'unknowns problem'?
ben_vulpes rummages for the ultralight 'bigdog' sketches
ben_vulpes: i don't hafta toss my sims out too, do i?
ben_vulpes: to use it against other 'ai'?
ben_vulpes: "Fact: Adversarial examples generalize across models trained to perform the same task, even if those models have different architectures and were trained on a different training set. This means an attacker can train their own model, generate adversarial examples against it, and then deploy those adversarial examples against a model they do not have access to."
ben_vulpes: petraeus for state oh that's rich
ben_vulpes: anyways, asciilifeform my queue is rather deep, working with mod6 on a thing
ben_vulpes: i'm talking about that funky github repo.
ben_vulpes: he?
ben_vulpes: rather rude litte gnome isn't it.
ben_vulpes: earlier i saw 3 lines from trinque hit all at once.
ben_vulpes: interesting, my irc client is not receiving
ben_vulpes: even having the lock on is pretty uncommon, people go to lengths to turn it off
ben_vulpes: or the ability to hand phone to friends and unlock it
ben_vulpes: foregoing oblique unlock is going to be hard to jam down the kids throat
ben_vulpes: heh veen and i broke apple's facial recognition on the first day it shipped. filed report, crickets.
ben_vulpes: or lol hadn't until right now
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: aya, the odd thing by my read is that it is responding to rpc calls but hasn't found from whom to get the rest of the blocks
ben_vulpes: just saw this in my logs: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/2HMaz/?raw=true
ben_vulpes: it would be feasible to chart time density of log statements
ben_vulpes: and no i am not.
ben_vulpes: node has only recently begun responding to rpc calls
ben_vulpes: aye, can't quite see why it'd be stuck there
ben_vulpes: node attached to mimisbrunnr is stuck at 454003
ben_vulpes: (because everyone reads the logs?)
ben_vulpes: that node's not wedged but very far behind.
ben_vulpes: well, the node to which mimisbrunnr's attached.
ben_vulpes: my node is entirely locked up atm
ben_vulpes: just cutting through decades of nutritive malinformation over here
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: because of increased protein intake i gather?
ben_vulpes: how do you know this, and also what does it do to boys
ben_vulpes: s-sauce?
ben_vulpes: yeah. eyebrow only works if it implies "how to deliver punishment"
ben_vulpes looks, sees no more vegetarians in his house
ben_vulpes: instead of a thrashing i mean.
ben_vulpes: an eyebrow should suffice.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: yes
ben_vulpes: sad inevitability of governing by numbers.
ben_vulpes: hence the magic number (18!!!) with exceptions (unless you're both under 18! except if we want to try you as an adult!)
ben_vulpes: "queer victorians" or some such
ben_vulpes: atlantic even did a piece on a victorian child bride recently
ben_vulpes: i thought he was a blogger scraped off some other vc firm's shoe
ben_vulpes: altman is supposed to be an engineer?
ben_vulpes: i don't mind the arcana, it's what a holistic understanding's made of
ben_vulpes: feel free to jot the rest down lol
ben_vulpes: it should be doable to 'getpeers' from the nodes from which a trb gets a block and then attempt to traverse upstream, no?
ben_vulpes: also excellent question
ben_vulpes: idle curiosity, don't let it block important stuffs
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: what's the alert they're trying to send?
ben_vulpes: unrelatedly, hn twofer: "don't tell anyone that tls doesn't even work" http://www.zdnet.com/article/google-and-mozillas-message-to-av-and-security-firms-stop-trashing-https/ and "sam altman looks outside" http://blog.samaltman.com/what-i-heard-from-trump-supporters
ben_vulpes: no but no trinque miners run cutting edge stuff only
ben_vulpes: ah
ben_vulpes: in re "nobody over there even does anything"?
ben_vulpes: neato asciilifeform, i will get this into rotation
ben_vulpes: heh hadn't gotten to "who hears tx first", that'll need umpteen nodes to do properly unless i misread the situation.
ben_vulpes: all americans have is this vague conviction that nothing is good, and that some things are less shite than others.
ben_vulpes: well see that's your problem, you have standards and a breadth of experience and shit
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: it's an american cultural artifact ca. 2016; let us marvel that the scriptwriters were allowed to ship the scene where ed harris drags blondie into a shed by her hair
ben_vulpes: dunno who'd watch ww for anything other than the rape, titties, and watching the robots suffer through endless reincarnations sort-of remembering things
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: oya, those are the worst scenes
ben_vulpes: hanbot: alas
ben_vulpes: quite a bit of whorin and dyin
ben_vulpes: yeah dems
ben_vulpes: a quick skim of something purporting to be a script for ep1 suggests they don't show up in episode one!
ben_vulpes: you didn't even like the whores?!
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: going to watch westworld instead of the statham crap anytime soon?
ben_vulpes: anyways, the man stands on his own feet.
ben_vulpes: it's real gay
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: after four years of constant close collaboration we're pretty hot swappable
ben_vulpes: clearly you staple them together from human parts one finds at walmart
ben_vulpes: runs a tight ship, i'm proud to serve with the man.
ben_vulpes: aye, that's him
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: what is this cringe?
ben_vulpes: ohai veen
ben_vulpes: preserve hollywood's eroding margins! outlaw basic arithmetic!
ben_vulpes: a website can be illegal, dontcha know.
ben_vulpes: > illegal sites
ben_vulpes: mhm
ben_vulpes: and because high-profile politician, natural causes rule themselves out?
ben_vulpes: so because it happened in the states the states did it?
ben_vulpes: how's it so terribly obvious that this is a western nailgun job?
ben_vulpes: i wouldn't know where to start with the estimate
ben_vulpes: and while it is sad that gcaptain is now descended to reuters rebroadcaster, it is also amusing that the ngo's ferrying migs into the eu have finally caught widespread attention: http://archive.is/BQtrf
ben_vulpes: ho ho, tumblr reads the logs. feed ouroubouros is now complete! http://whitecrayonz.tumblr.com/post/157495330836
ben_vulpes: bisect until success is evident on a branch, classic
ben_vulpes: while we're on the topic, "as leaks multiple, fears of america actually being less functional than egypt emerge": http://archive.is/Czazg
ben_vulpes: that's downright alluring
ben_vulpes: oh yeah, i've been halfway following teh saga of hanbot
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: what's the gig?
ben_vulpes makes a note to write 'the emacs claw legacy continues' in two years
ben_vulpes: which, more of that please.
ben_vulpes: him*
ben_vulpes: "mostly reading" last time i spoke to himi on the topic
ben_vulpes: kaloandia, heh. cloacaland?
ben_vulpes: from kakloandia: http://disobedientmedia.com/ngo-fleet-bussing-migrants-into-the-eu-has-ties-to-george-soros-hillary-clinton-donors/
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: aye, reasonabru. i'll probably kill the web stuff and make the thing irc-only. not going to happen immediately, still planning out data collection system
ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-18#1615245 << buggers are persistent, found a point of fragility i overlooked
ben_vulpes: !!up tarciboy who's your daddy and did he accomplish anything with himself?
ben_vulpes: monte carlo programming! deepblue, but with meatsacks
ben_vulpes: footnote 3 is a gorgeous little sentence, i don't think i've ever seen the like from a native english speaker
ben_vulpes: ahaha diana_coman i salute you that is some serious archaeology
ben_vulpes: comes clean out the other side into hysterically
ben_vulpes: so bad
ben_vulpes: anyone ever trick you into watching "crank"?
ben_vulpes: heh
ben_vulpes: ritchie?
ben_vulpes: favorite of mine for sure
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: ever review that one?
ben_vulpes: i've always wondered what monofilament (possibly coated in crushed glass) would do to the swash plate
ben_vulpes: i didn't read it for the price, but to see how wide of the mark the wsj has drifted. it's an honest depiction of reality in that /it was published/, and depicts the process and its results.
ben_vulpes: why watch snuff, isis execution videos, read camwho blogs? for entertainment
ben_vulpes: for the joy of seeing the wsj write about something without citing any relevant papers!
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: now why would i do that?
ben_vulpes: wall street urinal
ben_vulpes: oh it's from blogs.*.com
ben_vulpes: so does not even the wsj do anything but contract for think pieces without any research by people who know nothing about the topic but that which they can find on google finance?
ben_vulpes: http://archive.is/1dspI << missing: any quotations from the letters to shareholders
ben_vulpes: i am not a linguist, do not have the tongue to speak of tongues
ben_vulpes: the written form, i mean
ben_vulpes: i can't tell if hebrew/aramaic felt easy because i was young when i learned it or if it actually is a fairly sensible character set
ben_vulpes: Reuel: please to stop with the join/part spam
ben_vulpes bbl
ben_vulpes: no rush, i'm going to walk out to 'breakcore mashups' night here in a few minutes anyways.
ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-13#1602140 << design i baked (lordship circular) for review: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/LAjrq/?raw=true
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: ah, my mistake.
ben_vulpes: leastaways that node
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: pretty sure i'm running with malleus
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: now that you mention it
ben_vulpes: so in light of the triviality with which the TRB node to which mimisbrunnr talks is taken out by even moderately determined actors, i'm considering taking the whole thing down until i have a more robust data collector system in place.
ben_vulpes: phf: and argentina ca 2015
ben_vulpes: "royal society did it!"
ben_vulpes: btw, this ipv6 character who appeared to get k-lined earlier and just showed up and dropped again ('deepbook5broo') has been appearing in other freenode channels i habituate as well
ben_vulpes: myeah, that's pretty much exactly what i'm talking about. hence 'stuck', as not available at the time.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: yeah, capillary's going to get hit hard as the oil level drops
ben_vulpes: i only know what i've found in the wild, which is why i'm stuck on porous bronze
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: capillary wicks were a thing in the late seventeens?!
ben_vulpes: phf: "these are just engineering problems, silly mortal"
ben_vulpes: what'd one use for a wick that wouldn't need adjusting as it burned?
ben_vulpes: still suffers the hourglass reset problem, no?
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: windows and all? this is in the heathen logs somewhere?
ben_vulpes: looks tasty
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i can't even figure that out for myself. 90% of the time i think "mmm, chocolate. tasty i guess but i kinda want some more challah or whatever else i baked most recently covered in bread"
ben_vulpes: and moreover if anyone had heard of usg.intel doing it as well, that's a) fake news b) old news and c) standard diplomatic behavior...for us
ben_vulpes: why, this is unheard of.
ben_vulpes: gathering intelligence!
ben_vulpes: $girl has been probing for the caek i will eat. so far, not much success.
ben_vulpes: caek!
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: summarizing lulz?
ben_vulpes: and a hispanic for labor secretary! so racist!
ben_vulpes: happy birthday, BingoBoingo
ben_vulpes: anyways, later
ben_vulpes: place entirely fails to achieve "delightfully busted" unless you really go looking for it
ben_vulpes: in line with the wannabe shabby chic of the place
ben_vulpes: upstairs of the cafe where asciilifeform and i had coffees with chetty was hugely bathroom, and the space that wasn't bathroom unused
ben_vulpes: if the shutters are up
ben_vulpes: myup
ben_vulpes: and the most amusing 'fixes'
ben_vulpes: facade of a sushi joint's only shitter was busted
ben_vulpes: anyways, 9/10 places charging more than twenty dollars a place had at least one busted shitter
ben_vulpes: you just can't trust these people
ben_vulpes: i ever tell you about how i took sport in fixing toilets in ars my first trip there?
ben_vulpes: probably no usable steel in it even
ben_vulpes: also, sad
ben_vulpes: brutal
ben_vulpes: the mind boggles at the conspiracy of circumstance that would let a someone near your tools
ben_vulpes: lol
ben_vulpes: a+ steaks and entirely friendly horsefolk too
ben_vulpes: pretty facades, though!
ben_vulpes: still. no train to an airport that far from 'downtown' is bogus.
ben_vulpes: yaok i get it. no traffic, no train.
ben_vulpes: nah, on the list though
ben_vulpes: retcon*
ben_vulpes: you keep wanting to backport me to c2
ben_vulpes: train to jfk always beat cabs on price and speed
ben_vulpes: wth
ben_vulpes: have they run one to the airport yet ffs?
ben_vulpes: surely not i thought that was an actual subway
ben_vulpes: el subte?
ben_vulpes: wait they have 'light rail' in arse?
ben_vulpes: forgot about that
ben_vulpes: hey i found a slut on the train to pycon one year!
ben_vulpes: this is a plasti-train
ben_vulpes: i do low-intensity email and various other tasks that don't call for focus on the train
ben_vulpes: don't ask me, i'm not sixty female and fat
ben_vulpes: excellent little device for erotica on the train "or so i hear"
ben_vulpes: every release past the first if i recall correctly. second you could buy an ad-free version, but...
ben_vulpes: oya for years now.
ben_vulpes: i know a gent who is cursed with one of the later, more expensive models and he keeps it in a piece of leather to hide the ads.
ben_vulpes: i am fond of the device. it has a slow, but acceptable resolution screen for reading old texts of middling ocr quality, fits in jeans pocket. most importantly and differentiating it from later models, it shows no ads.
ben_vulpes: spoiler alert: it's called a usb cable
ben_vulpes: and in yet other "you don't own this device" news, my v1 kindle does this amazing trick when i email it .mobi files where it briefly displays them and then immediately removes them
ben_vulpes: at least we finally routed around the procurement process...
ben_vulpes: in other radiation damage, $client calls up, "hey latest chrome doesn't work with $app from inside the muni vpn" "...can you swing a vpn or shall i get on a plane?"
ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-07#1612018 << fixed, finally
ben_vulpes: in other amazings interpellating me on the way to the train: https://www.sites.google.com/site/superhappypoliticalparty/
ben_vulpes: anyways, asciilifeform is there a particular thing you're citing or just "moi moi, uber alles"?
ben_vulpes: unfortunately, without skin in the game the man can keep "doubling down" forever.
ben_vulpes: good grief
ben_vulpes: let us not forget how committed you were to "can not possibly win, clitler and lizards would never stand for it" you were, asciilifeform
ben_vulpes: whoa gross
ben_vulpes: ah 'huffing'?
ben_vulpes: what is this 'bronze sniffing'?
ben_vulpes: it's a scratch-and-sniff
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: max was total annual premiums for a "bronze" plan
ben_vulpes: if it were "small businesses! young people!" the clamor for universal college debt jubilee would be deafening
ben_vulpes: nono, instead we get "women executives"
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: sure, if you don't have taxable income
ben_vulpes: what's the second dubious strat? not picking fights with the irs?
ben_vulpes: can't win!
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i am fair miserly though
ben_vulpes: ouch, no
ben_vulpes: lest anyone get the wrong idea, i don't tend to pick fights with the irs.
ben_vulpes: "what income? this other business showed a perfectly-offsetting loss."
ben_vulpes: no getting rich here, just clawing back my pennies from the commies
ben_vulpes: entails*
ben_vulpes: robust tax strategy is a wall of pittances.
ben_vulpes: still outta reach of plebs, and yes, pittance.
ben_vulpes: 3e3-6e3 as f(family size)
ben_vulpes: "health savings account" is an account into which someone on specific kinds of health insurance plans may deposit a maximum of 3 or 6ish shibux per annum
ben_vulpes: plebes*
ben_vulpes: plebe's can't max out an hsa in one month, get real
