deedbot: esthlos rated danielpbarron 3 << legit guy, mean karaoke skills
trinque: what'd he sing?
mircea_popescu: i am rooting for celine dion.
ben_vulpes: i got five on a weezy track
ben_vulpes: esthlos: dish, what was it
jurov: BingoBoingo: what about buying existing company with bank acct and everything? it's standard practice here
mircea_popescu: jurov iirc it was briefly discussed. the risk of doing such a thing in orc (read : http://btcbase.org/log/2014-03-17#563333 ) is that you acquire debt you don't know about, and can't properly verify afore the fact.
a111: Logged on 2014-03-17 17:04 mircea_popescu: very dangerous to buy property in non-torens lands.
mircea_popescu: works in europe and ~nowhere else.
mircea_popescu: and in other news, there was a young man from Bombay who shagged dozens of chickens each day. he wouldn’t stop fucking 'till they all started clucking, then he’d eat all the eggs that they lay.
knubie: lol
deedbot: http://trilema.com/2018/the-saddest-person-in-the-world/ << Trilema - The saddest person in the world.
mircea_popescu: and in other ancient trilemas, "I am going to reward your efforts, in Bitcoinii. Specifically : the best entrant will receive 10 BTC, the 2nd best will receive 3 BTC and the 3rd and 4th best 1 BTC each. Also the 7th best will receive .1337 BTC, to keep things interesting."
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: was this the contest that produced 'shall be delivered' ?
asciilifeform: prolly before i tuned in , then ? ( though iirc that one was ~also~ before i tuned in )
mircea_popescu: you got first comment.
mircea_popescu: but iirc didn't bother to make 10 btc.
asciilifeform: i'm not exactly photo master-artist tho.
asciilifeform: btw are the winning entries visible today somewhere ? linx are dead
mircea_popescu: bitcoin is disrupting the notion of expertiuse!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i have an offline copy, others might've kept 'em.
asciilifeform: 'it's in my tape robot' is not exactly what typically 'visible' means, lol
mircea_popescu: yeah. dunno if visible or not tbh.
mircea_popescu: i might be the only person in the history of the world that paid >100k (ie, nominally, "in excess of fifty ounces of gold" for some rando's rape.)
asciilifeform: hey, better than for that ameripizza
mircea_popescu: less banal, at any rate.
asciilifeform: ( or the other d00d's toyota-boeing )
mircea_popescu: give ameritards bitcoin, 10 years after the fact you'll have stories about remarkably expensive pizzas and bus fares.
mircea_popescu: and i guess heroin,
mircea_popescu: remember back when reddit thought itself like... significant or something ? important in this world ?
asciilifeform: ooh hey that thing !
mircea_popescu: turns out ssssuperffffrank's bid didn't pan out for him
asciilifeform: the one with 'beers'
asciilifeform: !#s beers beers beers
a111: 108 results for "beers beers beers", http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=beers%20beers%20beers
mircea_popescu: oh, sushi&beer right.
asciilifeform: i gotta make a proper search, phf's is infuriatingly nonidentical to grep imho
asciilifeform: ( am i the only one who does not like this ? )
mircea_popescu: what now ?
asciilifeform: look at the output of 'beers beers beers'
asciilifeform: from where does the thing get the idea that it is at liberty to ignore the second and third word ?
asciilifeform: if i wanted to use google's turd, i'd use it
mircea_popescu: dude, it's plainly documented and well known : without quotes it matches all the workds ; with quotes the string
mircea_popescu: use the quotes and be happy, what's so hard about this.
asciilifeform: documented where ?
mircea_popescu: i ~like~ the ability to search for stupid cocksucker and get stupid fucking cocksucker as a result.
asciilifeform rereads pete_dushenski's item
mircea_popescu: in the log!!111
mircea_popescu: i even more like that i can search for stupid "sucker" and get fuck you sucking fuckstupid as well!
mircea_popescu: tbh i'd rather have grep fixed to work like phf's search. sadly no easy way to do this.
asciilifeform puts the item in his massive bound paper laboratoryjournal, next to the other supposedly-somewhere-documented-butnotreally materials.
asciilifeform: dunno, can't speak for others, but i fucking hate 'smart' tools.
asciilifeform: and dwimmism.
asciilifeform: i give a string of bytes - i want to search for THAT string of bytes. with ~maybe~, ~optionally and explicitly~, case-mutation.
mircea_popescu: these aren't bytes.
mircea_popescu: they're characters. and wordmatch is the only way to do text search.
asciilifeform: it's the wolframalpha problem -- doing a proper job is ai-complete. so attempting the job at all results in a duct tape perlism that 'works on a good day', when the wind is just-so
mircea_popescu: and force-tokenization (so "match" matches matchbox because of ") is the only way to handle tokenization in a non-"smart" non-dwim manner.
mircea_popescu: whole thing's solid.
mircea_popescu: not even vaguely. the proper job is exactly like this : textsearch with work tokenization which the user can force.
asciilifeform bbl,meat
mircea_popescu: whole fucking point of even having a language in the first place, as opposed to sino liquidshit, is that they're characters not bytestrings and i can search like in human lang.
mircea_popescu: and only reason we even use english is the minimized tokenization necessary ; for all its power romanian/latin/etc would be nothing but "stem" "stem" "Stem" till we drop dead.
mircea_popescu: which is why english amounted to more than romanian ever will.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform were you actually looking for jay aka http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-13#1466292 ?

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> and only reason we even use english is the minimized tokenization necessary ; for all its power romanian/latin/etc would be nothing but "stem" "stem" "Stem" till we drop dead. << And the subtle variation of how to conjugate are the barrier between latin languages. Here it is becoming clear that among the native speakers of Castellano y Portugues that there are persons who can handle more than one language and those
BingoBoingo: persons doomed to their mother's tongue alone
BingoBoingo: The walmart caste, if you will
mircea_popescu: also known as "persons who were beaten enough and persons who were permitted to ossify stupid"
BingoBoingo: AHA, here the bulk of the Brasileros parents loved them enough to beat them
BingoBoingo: Anyways this morning for ~3 hours English was the majority native tongue at the hostel. Yo, una chica de Chicago, una pareja de Australasia, y una pareja de Ireland. I had to explain that no, not all Brasilians are trilingual, just the ones with the means to travel.
BingoBoingo: And that guy from Australia/girl from New Zealand, when you go to the boondocks of Brasil in 2 weeks you will no find this much of your mom's language
mircea_popescu: wait, i thought all ourdemocracy shitheads are quadrilingual.
mircea_popescu: so as not to be outdone by orcs.
BingoBoingo: Nah, solo ingles para mas diversitit. Learning other languages is cultural appropriation!
mircea_popescu: don't tell me they're just all esltards who hallucinate a "but it's ok, whole rest of world cares about our shitland ever so deeply" coda because "here is everywhere" and also because "it's easier this way" not to mention it'd make "everything alright"
BingoBoingo: They are. Well girl from Chicago does SQL for McDonalds
mircea_popescu: rare and valuable skill.
BingoBoingo: That's how she described it.
mircea_popescu: !#s sylvester
mircea_popescu: i guess ima have to write this then.
BingoBoingo: Anyways she had been hanging around one neighborhood her whole stay until she made the wise decision to buy me lunch. "Montevideo is so expensive" "Only the tourist trap part you've limited youself to"
BingoBoingo: Y entonces I hired a car and she bought the pizza
BingoBoingo: Normally I would have walked if it wasn't for the lluvia
mircea_popescu: speasking of which, me shall proceed to steak up. laters!
BingoBoingo: Disfruta tu cena!
shinohai: I see a BingoBlog post ... "Un Domingo lluvioso"
