2013-01-22.log:04:44 < phm> Hi, eleitl, you're in OpenQwaq? I wanted to say 'hi' but you're always idle. 2013-01-22.log:04:45 < phm> ah. No problem. I'll catch you later, prob. 2013-01-22.log:04:47 < phm> and hello H+ people. I come from zerostate (but not really a member of anywhere) 2013-01-22.log:04:48 < phm> I have questions! But maybe I lurk a while first :-) 2013-01-22.log:04:52 < phm> Hullo 2013-01-22.log:04:54 < phm> eleitl: Are you a Smalltalker? I was just looking at piercms. 2013-01-22.log:04:57 < phm> eleitl: Why did you say 'I really dislike wikis'? I'm curious. 2013-01-22.log:04:59 < phm> What is the alternative? 2013-01-24.log:01:07 < phm> If you knew you were in a sim; would you behave any different to the way you do now? 2013-01-24.log:01:08 < phm> how? 2013-01-24.log:01:09 < phm> How would it change your behaviour? 2013-01-24.log:01:13 < phm> Does anyone here work on proof checkers or meta-mathematics stuff? 2013-01-24.log:01:13 < phm> no. They are very different 2013-01-24.log:13:14 < phm> Lethargy? DId you mean laziness? Not that it matters. 2013-01-24.log:18:35 < phm> kanz: Do you use python in preference to smalltalk or lisp? Or do you only use it because you work on existing codebases or need python libraries? 2013-01-24.log:18:37 < phm> You think python is a better language than smalltalk or lisp? Or you think their power is equal? 2013-01-24.log:18:37 < phm> Is 'curiosity' a good enough answer? 2013-01-24.log:18:38 < phm> I'm more curious about certain individuals. 2013-01-24.log:18:38 < phm> You can take it as a sign of respect. 2013-01-24.log:18:40 < phm> Yes, I have an agenda. No, I'm not ready to tell you what it is. Are you going to answer the smalltalk vs python question? 2013-01-24.log:18:45 < phm> No, I'm not ready to tell you what it is. All I'll say is that I think we have similar goals. 2013-01-24.log:18:59 < phm> Thinking about it; you can't have 'all of the above' without a contradiction. 2013-01-24.log:19:00 < phm> Although you did use a question mark. 2013-01-24.log:19:01 < phm> I find a lot of your statements to be rather ambiguous. 2013-01-24.log:19:03 < phm> Which suggests natural language is not your strength. I haven't reviewed your code yet. 2013-01-24.log:20:32 < phm> "< kanzure> this is entering the realm of extreme pedantry" and there was me thinking that this was a complaint! 2013-01-24.log:20:35 < phm> Do you actually want to know what was 'wrong' with the code you 'dropped'? Or was that a rhetorical question? 2013-01-24.log:20:35 < phm> you 2013-01-24.log:20:36 < phm> That's why I put 'wrong' in quotes. 2013-01-25.log:00:55 < phm> If you like ruby.. have you tried using a real smalltalk? 2013-02-09.log:04:32 < phm> So if you were planning to put a huge bitcoin mine in the back of a truck, and power it from stolen electricity... How exactly would you do it? Any ideas? 2013-02-09.log:04:32 < phm> How does that help? 2013-02-09.log:04:33 < phm> I want to generate them. 2013-02-09.log:04:33 < phm> I don't want to do that. 2013-02-09.log:04:40 < phm> jrayhawk looks like Feynman. Coincidence? 2013-02-09.log:04:56 < phm> Why does he have all those CRTs? 2013-02-09.log:05:01 < phm> Did he live in a squat? What a pigsty! 2013-02-09.log:05:02 < phm> I doubt that. 2013-02-09.log:05:05 < phm> lolz: http://heybryan.org/shots/setups/Superkuh_Jan22_06_desk_112956055_53fe3cf020.jpg 2013-02-09.log:05:07 < phm> Please tell me these were taken in 1995. 2013-02-09.log:05:09 < phm> What was he taking? Acid? 2013-02-09.log:05:10 < phm> no. 2013-02-09.log:05:17 < phm> I thought you were futurists. 2013-02-09.log:05:18 < phm> These pix are just works of art? You don't actually use them, right? 2013-02-09.log:05:19 < phm> Stop being pedantic. It don't suit you. 2013-02-09.log:05:19 < phm> In an annoying way. Gee, thanks! 2013-02-09.log:05:20 < phm> Good to know. 2013-02-09.log:05:20 < phm> When does jrayhawk wake up? 2013-02-09.log:05:34 < phm> There does not need to be any reason or infringement other than being identified with reasonable confidence to be a sock puppet, and no warning is required or encouraged when enforcing the sock puppet ban. 2013-02-09.log:05:34 < phm> lolz 2013-02-09.log:05:35 < phm> Principles insist upon tolerance and support of all identity modes that citizens may choose to adopt. 2013-02-09.log:05:35 < phm> What if I have MPD!? 2013-02-09.log:05:35 < phm> I could. 2013-02-09.log:05:36 < phm> I would not. 2013-02-09.log:05:36 < phm> it 2013-02-09.log:05:38 < phm> Have I violated your 'spirit of Construction' meta-rule? 2013-02-09.log:05:56 < phm> How many people here think that setting up an intentional community is important, short to mid term (let's say in the next 5 years)? 2013-02-09.log:05:58 < Viper168> These pix are just works of art? You don't actually use them 2013-02-09.log:05:59 < phm> Kanzure won't appreciate this discussion, so we're not going to have it. 2013-02-09.log:06:00 < phm> If you understand the tracticus , feel free to PM me. 2013-02-12.log:19:59 < phm> Curious. Why are you looking at it? 2016-01-28.log:08:33 < phm> FFS. Computers can own at Go and I can't solve 6 captchas in a row. What is wrong with the world!? 2016-01-28.log:10:45 < phm> Kanzure: Do you know where Eugen is and what he's doing? 2016-01-28.log:10:55 < phm> acquired? 2016-01-28.log:10:56 < phm> 'online delivery platform'? That's not his field...!? 2016-01-28.log:10:58 < phm> BTW: is there a torrent of all 6.4Gb of Springer math books they made available? 2016-01-28.log:10:59 < phm> Nice. Got a list? 2016-01-28.log:11:00 < phm> Can you get a list? 2016-01-28.log:11:00 < phm> safe? 2016-01-28.log:11:00 < phm> what do you mean? 2016-01-28.log:11:01 < phm> haha. shit. I didn't realise! 2016-01-28.log:11:01 < phm> Eugen did it.. 2016-01-28.log:11:01 < phm> Why not? 2016-01-28.log:11:01 < phm> Sounds like something he would do 2016-01-28.log:11:01 < phm> refusing what? 2016-01-28.log:11:01 < phm> Is this chan 'safe'? Or are we already in trouble? 2016-01-28.log:11:02 < phm> really. Why don't you kick me for 'trolling' you. hah. 2016-01-28.log:11:02 < phm> jrayhawk: ? 2016-01-28.log:11:04 < phm> You really think the feds are gonna come after us for sharing book? Come ON.. 2016-01-28.log:11:04 < phm> books 2016-01-28.log:11:05 < phm> I mean, I know they murdered Aaron Swartz, but... 2016-01-28.log:11:06 < phm> He was high profile 2016-01-28.log:11:08 < phm> You really think we can't outwit the NSA? pffffft 2016-01-28.log:11:14 < phm> yeahhhh 'thought experiment' :-) 2016-01-28.log:11:17 < phm> What data? 2016-01-28.log:11:18 < phm> I think legally it's a grey area 2016-01-28.log:11:19 < phm> If you say so. 2016-01-28.log:11:22 < phm> I don't care about the law. I'm an anarchist. As long as they don't murder me, I'm happy. 2016-01-28.log:11:27 < phm> The point is this: If you work for the gov, there is probably something wrong with your brain, so gov people are not going to be as smart as 'us' 2016-01-28.log:11:30 < phm> Yeah, well I'm not going to provide any proof.
