asciilifeform: wb billymg
billymg: asciilifeform: ty, somehow my nick unauthed with freenode (i think?)
billymg: or znc issue
billymg: asciilifeform: this guy looks quite interesting, have you tried inviting him into #asciilifeform?
asciilifeform: billymg: my znc also misfired. i suspect fleanode shenanigans.
shinohai: $uptime
btcinfobot: The bot has been up for: 23 days 22 hours 5 minutes and 33 seconds
asciilifeform: shinohai: nifty. is this a new ver. of the bot ?
asciilifeform: billymg: i haven't tried inviting, no. the historic record for these folx showing up is quite poor
shinohai: asciilifeform: nah just moved the thing to a new host. So far seems to be surviving the fleanode weather changes.
asciilifeform: shinohai: aa.
asciilifeform: shinohai: asciilifeform had the idle thought, re 'what transform on btcusd number would render all the sig figs 'interesting'?' -- suppose reported as % of ath.
shinohai: That *would* be kind of interesting metric I suppose.
asciilifeform: shinohai: idea came from my realization that the absolute # aint very interesting imho, but rather the question of whether enemy's arse is dilating, and if so, at what rate
shinohai: How wouldja calculate inflation #'s here, for instance?
asciilifeform: shinohai: separate q. (there aint a trivial algo for it)
shinohai ponders this further ....
asciilifeform: in so far as i'm concerned, btc-usd ~is~ the gold standard for usd.inflatometer.
shinohai: Good point.
asciilifeform reminds readers that inflation aint actually a scalar
verisimilitude: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-06-02#1038196 It's good to know I'm always welcome.
snsabot: Logged on 2021-06-02 20:41:47 asciilifeform: at this pt so rare to land on a www w/ src and not immediately obv. garbage, that asciilifeform finds difficult to care whether author is a pyronecrozoophiliac, or whichever. but there do seem to be co-morbid braindamages with these, so rarely get even to the point of 'who was this' when encountering those.
asciilifeform: lol
verisimilitude: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-06-02#1038210 I've had a conversation with him, he was nice.
asciilifeform: verisimilitude: oh hey, where ?
verisimilitude: I used email.
asciilifeform: verisimilitude: didja buy his b00k?
verisimilitude: No.
asciilifeform makes a point of buying lispistic samizdat if looks even half-edible
asciilifeform: can't comment re that one yet, hasn't arrived yet.
verisimilitude: There are so many books I need to purchase, but I need to read what I own first.
gregorynyssa: asciilifeform: verisimilitude: I wonder what the author of "Let over Lambda" has been doing since the publication of that book.
gregorynyssa: IIRC, I owned this book https://t3x.org/amk/index.html back in college, written by that person mentioned above.
gregorynyssa: by Nils Holm, I mean.
verisimilitude: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-06-03#1038211 What's tragic about it?

verisimilitude: I've been made to wonder how common this pattern is with new technology.
asciilifeform: ( and also, and various other. )
verisimilitude: I referred to the feeling.
