(01:07:48 AM) feepbot: Burninate_: first
(01:07:58 AM) Anubhav_C: what on earth
(01:08:07 AM) Anubhav_C: it LOOKS sorta random, but the runs are too long
(01:08:27 AM) Burninate_: .decide I change my mind whenever Burninate asks the same question|I'm just random you fucking idiot

(01:09:16 AM) Burninate_: Caught you

(01:09:27 AM) Burninate_: Just random
(01:09:27 AM) feepbot: Anubhav_C: foo
(01:09:53 AM) Anubhav_C: Burninate_: Yup, looks like our its our intuitions that're screwed up
(01:10:38 AM) Burninate_: Same item 4 times out of 4 is a 1/8 chance
(01:11:13 AM) Burninate_: that was what tripped your suspicions
(01:12:08 AM) Burninate_: It's not that there's something *wrong* with our intuitions, it's that observing patterns in phenomena based on a limited sampleset is essential to everyday life, whatever the basis for those patterns
(01:46:40 AM) Burninate_: Why the kicking?
(01:47:00 AM) Anubhav_C: This is beginning to get tiring
(01:47:26 AM) Burninate_: what's the deal?
(01:47:31 AM) Peacebringer: I don't know, why do you think?
(01:47:36 AM) Anubhav_C: 'inane chatter' is banned
(01:47:45 AM) Anubhav_C: except that no one gives a fuck
(01:49:24 AM) Anubhav_C: Except for pissbringer here, that is

(01:50:20 AM) katydee: To me it seems like trying to figure stuff out and experiment with things is admirable from an LW perspective, and certainly not bannable
(01:51:03 AM) Burninate_: we spent five minutes testing a random generator bot, didn't say anything for half an hour, and *then* were kicked
(01:51:22 AM) katydee: Yeah, that seems pretty silly
(01:51:30 AM) katydee: Especially since you didn't really seem to be interrupting anything
(01:51:31 AM) Burninate_: the rules don't mention anything I think we violated
(01:51:48 AM) katydee: Kicking without citing the reasons is especially stupid
(01:52:39 AM) katydee: And iirc the rules indicate that there should be a warning first
(01:53:28 AM) Peacebringer: The rules are subservient to #lesswrong being a fun and interesting discussion channel :)
(01:54:31 AM) Burninate_: Chilling speech with unexplained bans is not a way to build a fun and interesting discussion channel
(01:54:39 AM) katydee: I think that #lesswrong is a substantially less fun and interesting discussion channel if people get kicked without explanations and the mod acts like a jerk when they ask why
(01:54:42 AM) rsaarelm: Would prefer stuff that's potentially annoying but not actively malevolent get a "hey, cut it out" warning before a straight kick.
(01:55:08 AM) katydee: I mean, I know new rules, gotta make examples out of people, etc.
(01:55:18 AM) katydee: But following the warning protocols when doing so would really be better IMO
(01:56:00 AM) katydee: Back on topic, does anyone know where that article about different types of Singularity is?
(01:57:06 AM) Burninate_: Yeah, I'm too tired to try and thread a discussion through topics that a malevolent op decides aren't "fun and interesting"
(01:57:11 AM) Burninate_: fuck that
