trinque: asciilifeform: I refer you to the "pay for sunlight" thread. No one contests that there *are* externalities, but their cost is undefined. [00:05]
trinque: and pointedly not fucking zero [00:05]
trinque: undefined [00:05]
trinque: and for fucks sake there is no such thing as "the cost of fission power" [00:10]
trinque: no one ever bought "fission power" the concept [00:11]
trinque: you conflate transactional, monetary cost and ~consequence [00:12]
trinque: heh, here, "you cannot buy X unhappenings of chernobyl!" [00:30]
* trinque goes to bed [00:30]
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo the substance of the dreamer's dream is always dreamy! and of a creamy consistence! [02:26]
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's not a matter of "deny". energy economics is a proper field, which you're welcome to learn if you care, or not. the behaviour you briefly engaged in is not unlike 15 yo alf trying to learn math by busting into brin sr's class and yelling "all functions are convex! prove me wrong!" really loudly. [02:29]
mircea_popescu: there's better ways to learn things than saying the stupidest thing one can thing of to the smartest people he can find. [02:29]
mircea_popescu: but of course, more generally, the reason civilisation in all its known implementations always flows towards "herd of females, and capons" is exactly that naturally, boys tend to prefer learning by the above described process, which is never popular with the learned. [02:30]
mircea_popescu: this is a prime something to cleave, somehow. it is a major limit of our world, much moreso than "carbon" blabla or gravity. its unyielding pressure creates the necessity of the harem, for instance, and many things. [02:31]
deedbot: [» Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski] Fireside chat with Russ Roberts. - http://www.contravex.com/2016/07/29/fireside-chat-with-russ-roberts/ [02:34]
mircea_popescu: anyway, to round the matter for the readership, oil is not 100, but about 35 atm. was 40 last year. in this interval of time, about two thirds of the cost of the barrel comes from various royalties paid to governments, both directly and indirectly in the form of "compliance" with myriad idiocies. the cost of refining, owing to technological advance entirely unrelated to government, is under a cent. transportation around a cen [02:37]
mircea_popescu: t. the 25 cents may not be exact, but they're not far off for one thing, and based on actual reasoning as opposed to "let's say things see what happens". [02:37]
mircea_popescu: it's true that oil ~futures~ did top 100 for some time some time ago. this is a different sort of "price" than the "price" of interest in the reasoning above, and a different sort of signal. [02:37]
mircea_popescu: that difference is perhaps best understood as the difference between "find me the real roots of f(x)" and "find me the limit of f(x) with x->inf". different stories altogether. [02:39]
mircea_popescu: mod6 yeah, i recall. [02:52]
mircea_popescu: trinque the important point about "externalities" in a discussion of money, and by extension capitalism, is that they're never anything other than a power play. (much like appeals to "science" in a social setting, notwithstanding the libertard's hollow pretense to the contrary). [02:53]
mircea_popescu: when i say "You see ? The capitalist found the externality, made his item certainly cheaper and arguably "better" at the expense of unknown things not in his charge." i am not being facetious. the derp's actually being a good capitalist in that example. which is the broader point there : one can't pull himself up by own breeches, "capitalism" is not a cure for stupidity, merely an instrument for smart people.

asciilifeform: i'd luvvv to know, why the special pleading for petrocar, it is quite the same as winblowz, x86, and other 'this is mainstream, cheap, normal and stop counting the actual damage from it as cost, you terrorist' [07:34]
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-29#1511416 << why should i look at the instantaneous value solely, rather than this limit? [07:38]

asciilifeform: the 100, as i understand, is a more honest figure, it factors in actual trend (no prizes for guessing: down) in production, aint nobody making moar of it.. - and is less affected by the anti-ru dumping presently in effect [07:40]
asciilifeform: the above is why i never dug into the 'pricing of energetics' thing in detail - i find he subj quite similar to, e.g., usg unemployment figures - i have no access to the seeeekrit evidence required to cut away the fiction from the reality [07:43]
asciilifeform: *the subj [07:43]
asciilifeform: at least partly because ~the usd~ is an artifact consisting largely of fiction [07:44]
asciilifeform: but also because the petro market is only partly a market, but partly also a system of tribute collection and other non-commercial exchange [07:45]
asciilifeform: (e.g., what happened to saddam h's petro deal with fr, and why? where is ghaddafi's?) [07:46]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu had an article, iirc, where 'when considering avg price of cars, do not also average in the price of stolen cars sold in a hurry' [07:48]

asciilifeform: and mircea_popescu appears to be deliberately glossing over important difference between asciilifeform in petro thread and the proverbial 'all functions are convex!!1111' kid above [07:58]
asciilifeform: which is, that mathematics is ~accessible~ to the determined mind. always, with no exception, WITHOUT demanding a swallowing of seekrit evidence. [07:59]

deedbot: omglovethis voiced for 30 minutes. [10:39]
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> mod6 yeah, i recall. << iirc, there was a whole pile of these second level deps. i seem to remember that at the time, there wasn't a plan in place for how to climb the mountain there. but with the primary artifacts now deeded, we have a pattern. [10:57]
mod6: hopefully we can get those ones in, and work towards getting the whole wad frozen. [10:58]
mod6: <shinohai> Got your telegram, worked smooth. Tested on Gentto and Debian, will update on Ubuntu. << hey thanks! [10:58]
shinohai: Finished the Ubuntu build before you got on, so yeah all working nice mod6 [11:00]
mod6: So, yeah, added in the pull of the deeds, the checking of the sigs, uudecoded, and checked the output hashes. not just on the craptastic four also put in explicit sig checking on the rotor and V. [11:02]
mod6: Previously we were checking this, but I don't know if it was failing properly if there was a bad sig. [11:02]
shinohai: I know you're gonna hate me, but I'm gonna stuff it all in an iso and try a build later with no internetz again [11:04]
thestringpuller: LOL [11:06]
mod6: ah. yeah might still be some changes to come if something doesn't pass the tests. so be prepared for that eventuallity until V99994 is placed in deedbot. [11:06]
shinohai: Oh I know it will all get changed lol xD [11:06]
mod6: so i need to still do some negative testing i need to kinda run the script a section at a time. and in each section, exiting after it pulls an artifact, diddle the signature by hand on the fs, then resume this should cause the signature check to fail, and the signature conditional to exit the script with an error as designed. [11:08]
shinohai: ^ I actually did this to ensure I was getting correct sigs each time. [11:09]
mod6: if that stuff works well, then will probably pass around for others to try before it's deed-ified [11:09]
mod6: you already did all that!? ^5 [11:09]
mod6: i was gonna do it late lasntight, but was getting too late. [11:10]
shinohai: yeah i diddled the sigs on each part and reran. Failed as expected [11:10]
mod6: outstanding. [11:10]
* shinohai has been up since 4 am xD [11:10]
mod6: nice [11:17]
mod6: <+shinohai> I know you're gonna hate me, but I'm gonna stuff it all in an iso and try a build later with no internetz again << this /should/ fail. because buildroot won't be able to pull all of its stuff down. [11:18]
shinohai: oh yeah, true [11:19]
mod6: however, this is a decent opportunity to go a head, build with the build script, save all your terminal output to say a `script` into typescript or whatever bash logging you wanna do, and gather up the list of deps buildroot pulls so I can start to climb that mountain. [11:19]
mod6: s/a head/ahead [11:19]
mod6: i've done this before, I was saying in here, but.. it's been a good while since. Might be worth another gathering. If that's a bit boring or whatever, don't worry, I can tackle this later. [11:20]
mod6: But if looking for a useful task... [11:20]
asciilifeform: mod6 et al: https://buildroot.org/downloads/manual/manual.html#_offline_builds << may be worth looking into [11:36]

mircea_popescu: did they do that in 1990 russia also ? [12:55]
mircea_popescu: but no, the 100 is not a trend indicator, it's a situation indicator. long term historical prices indicate the trend, future spot indicates the short term. [12:56]
mircea_popescu: contrary to what you might think for unclear and i suspect unexamined reasons, finance is actually a quite sensible, rather complex and definitely satisfying art. [12:57]

mircea_popescu: in places has a lot in common with "submarine piloting". [12:57]
mircea_popescu: a submarine doesn't drive, not like a car at any rate. a submarine is a lot closer to a plane, ie, "a dot being moved on a graph". except the plane has a much ampler bubble. [12:57]
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-29#1511429 << not as a civilian, and for the very obvious reason. (or at least it should be obvious - past a few hundred or so, adding more "opinion"ators does not improve the overall quality of the resultant opinion, even if it increases the costs of resulting it.which is also why "inclusive" programs always fail. so people trying to figure this shit out really don't need anymore noise. good en [13:00]

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-29#1511434 << this example doesn't work because when valuing "cars" one makes a deliberate exception of the $15 cost of the raw sheet metal going in. there is no such thing as minerals that aren't also stolen cars. again for the obvious reason - nobody's mommy picks molybden ingots from under her nails as normal part of morning hygiene.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: here is where i must disagree: mineral that someone digs up, then sells, and the selling pays for the digging - is not in any useful sense stolen [13:08]
mircea_popescu: oh ? and purse someone cuts, drives bike to and fro ? [13:08]

mircea_popescu: you have no title over any minerals, not anymore you have it over bitcoin, or that lady's purse. [13:08]
asciilifeform: i wasn't thinking of title. [13:08]
mircea_popescu: the minor difference that NO ONE ELSE has title on the first two, and supposedly the lady on the third, is not germane to YOUR position. [13:09]
mircea_popescu: but title is the point. [13:09]
asciilifeform: but of the elementary sense in which stolen cars are not legitimately reflective of the cost of making car. [13:09]
mircea_popescu: title is the problem here though. [13:09]
mircea_popescu: and the deep reason title is the problem is this : that my own slavegirl, i will beat. but random whore, i will not. [13:10]
mircea_popescu: ie, one doesn't improve matter he doesn't hold title to. [13:10]
asciilifeform: title is a convenient fiction. whereas 'does this system run on human fat' is an answerable question. and a car market where mircea_popescu paid for his mazerati but tyrone stole and sold for fiddybux, is not conducive to continued production of mazeratis. [13:10]
mircea_popescu: mno. title as understood by idiots is a convenient fiction, much like santa-the-gift-giver is a convenient fiction. this fiction does not mean it's a good idea to be a bad kiddy, in either case. [13:11]
mircea_popescu: title, as a convenient fiction in common parlance, nevertheless translates a deep and important ontological difference. [13:11]
asciilifeform: it is precisely the 'colour of bits' though, no ? [13:11]
mircea_popescu: mno. you recall the gypsy stolen gun story ? [13:12]
asciilifeform: aha? [13:12]
mircea_popescu: there's a difference between cow and rifle. other than the objectively obvious and in general. [13:12]
mircea_popescu: ie, that the cow is the product of someone nursing a veal whereas the rifle wasn't nursed from pistolhood. the joke's a joke, but "your" car and "your" chunk of copper aren't the same thing. [13:13]

asciilifeform: i would dearly love to know where mr. Khadeer generated his key. [13:16]
mircea_popescu: anyway, yes "made of human fat" is answerable. the problem is - everything's made of human fat. much more important a question is, to use ballas' exceptionally apt terminology for the matter, "is this an impossible fantasy to be pursued at the expene of your labour and your life" ? the lori gottlieb question. [13:17]
asciilifeform: follow the 'seen elsewhere' links, aslo [13:17]
mircea_popescu: it is ALSO answerable, except not in certain ways. from a particular solipsistic position, the "probability" of there existing such a thing as a cube of bronze is just as remote as the probability of there existing a cube of antimatter the same size. [13:18]

In the letter, Khadeer — who said MAPS condemns the acts carried out by the terrorists last week — said some opponents of the prophet “insulted him, mistreated him, gathered filth at his door [17:00]
asciilifeform: and threw camel entrails at him,” while others “taunted him and pelted him with rocks until he bled.” And yet, Muhammad forgave them, Khadeer wrote.' [17:00]
