lobbes: though, I no longer see this as such; this is (as diana_coman, Bingo_Boingo point out) a communications problem

a111: Logged on 2019-06-30 20:10 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'm all for constructive actions. but if the script calls 'beg for mercy' then it's through, asciilifeform is not into s&m and is grown man rather than pet chix, will not beg anyone for anyffin.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-30#1921086 << i'm not cancelling anything dude, nor have i. FOR YEARS. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2019-06-30 19:46 BingoBoingo: I brought up http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-30#1921054 because it epitmoizes the Republican communication problem where despite ample examples, keeping everything "sooper top seekrit" until its absolutely "done" is the most losing strategy.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-30#1921077 << i for instance had little idea he was doing that. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2019-06-30 19:46 BingoBoingo: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-30#1921064 << Let us try to fix this part. This is the opening to get your hours and boners back from Microshit. I find the saltmining forever assumption troubling. Digging for the manticore reference yesterday I got struck pretty hard with the melancholoy counting the years.
mircea_popescu: we're watching tv, in the sense i'm to sit here and nod my head while he does the voices and jumps up and down through the livingroom.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-30 18:30 asciilifeform: i gotta go and do a meat chore for 2h or so. if mircea_popescu et al have specific q for asciilifeform , will answer when come back. if mircea_popescu says 'instead do x', i'ma see if i have with what. else would prefer to skip the 2017 ' mircea_popescu plays with his food ' and take the -10 sooner rather than later-and-wasted-errybodys-time .
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-30#1921068 << it's the same thing as two years ago, and i fear two years from now too : 1. write "i am going to X" ; then either 2a. do x or else 2b-1. explain why you didn't do x AND 2b-2 explain what you're going to do differently, ie, CHANGE, about yourself, so as not to be in the b branch again ; and then later 3. review how well 2b-2 has been working out for you and CHANGE SOME MORE. ☝︎
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'm tuned in, but would rather answer concretes, and in pulsed bursts, to keep up snr. for nao will go to other terminal.
asciilifeform: i had -- a laffably small bag o'coin, nao 2/3 spent.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: if i knew how to do it, would have done it in 2013 . earlier. it aint as if i have a bottle of 'get outta salt mine' behind glass, 'break glass', that was saving for some (what?) occasion.
asciilifeform: ( as i understand, e.g. mod6 , phf , are in even darker corners. )
asciilifeform: well i'm back from tea an' walk (to get, lol, moar tea.)
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'm all for constructive actions. but if the script calls 'beg for mercy' then it's through, asciilifeform is not into s&m and is grown man rather than pet chix, will not beg anyone for anyffin. ☟︎
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: fwiw i have coin enuff to run for another ~year (if no major swings in exchange rt) and then through. mg nest outta belt.
asciilifeform: i expect will make himself known eventually.
asciilifeform: shitboard not to blame, i think walked in when door was briefly open.
asciilifeform: holyshit i have an undocumented cat in the house.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-30 18:22 BingoBoingo remembers the time shortly before departing to Uruguay when he recieved a dispatch from danielpbarron during one of danielpbarron's then increasingly long bouts of silence. The guy declared to have a concrete plan to do the ISP thing in Brasil, contacted a datacenter and all, but made no updates into the logs about having done so. I thusly encouraged him to try the ISP thing, but he instead went the other way to Oklahoma.

a111: Logged on 2019-06-30 15:50 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i like to work with mircea_popescu , and would prefer to continue, but as i understand was already proclaimed a lamer, and why would mircea_popescu want to work with a lamer ?
asciilifeform: i gotta go and do a meat chore for 2h or so. if mircea_popescu et al have specific q for asciilifeform , will answer when come back. if mircea_popescu says 'instead do x', i'ma see if i have with what. else would prefer to skip the 2017 ' mircea_popescu plays with his food ' and take the -10 sooner rather than later-and-wasted-errybodys-time . ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i am not concerned so much by whether fg made back or not.
mircea_popescu: who the fuck cares what anyone enjoys. i got the topless starlets to enjoy me out the wazoo.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-30 17:56 asciilifeform: mp, for instance, does not enjoy reading such broadcasts and i dun think anyone else does either
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, i know you don't. do you know how i know ? because you can't produce the items! if you had them, you'd have been having them by now.

a111: Logged on 2019-06-30 17:54 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: suppose , for a moment, that asciilifeform issued weekly broadcasts. wouldja want to read the typical one ? because it is likely as not to consist of 'this week i spent 50hrs battling microshit, and 7 tryin' to load peh back into my greying head'
a111: Logged on 2019-06-30 17:08 mp_en_viaje: and yes, i get it, it irritates you to high heavens your work isn't moving faster. that's fine. but it is also not the topic here.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-22 20:59 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-22#1919261 << what i find deeply irritating it's that it tends to be republican work that gets dropped in such situations.
mircea_popescu: not like i;m sitting here on a pile of gold an' coin amassed through exploiting phf, mod6 an; poor little old you but won' tsplit the loot.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i dun have any complaint to mircea_popescu re bent nickels.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, is there a bent nickle you made that i kept from you or something ?
a111: Logged on 2019-06-30 17:47 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i can see his irritation , also, 2 other worms this yr have all but stopped giving silk -- mod6 , phf -- 'for no apparent reason'
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-30#1920985 << it's not clear to me what the problem is ; it also does not make much of a difference what the problem is. i am not going to become usg.fed, underbooking everyone's everything. ☝︎
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i intend to first learn whether mircea_popescu even wants to run a worm farm.
mircea_popescu: i... suppose.
asciilifeform: if not proceed, then i haven't what to give. and mircea_popescu aint wrong, atm he is in person 90% of the customers.
mircea_popescu: this is not a workable model. i won't even call it "business model", it has 0 to do with business.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: re piz -- the mips item , i think i described, is so that ea. of the 32core boxen can be cut into 32 'you have root' properly isolated virtuals, which then can be leased to heathens w/out particular selectivity. but this requires not only for it to be finished properly ( it is on conveyor behind peh, which i explicitly promised to mp et al ) but for machine delivery to proceed.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-30 17:25 BingoBoingo: I am managing the day to day, month to month, but someone with capital has to represent the capital
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: no worries, lol, i cleared calendar, have time.

asciilifeform: lt i. : 'but, sgt petrov, you are a member of communist party!'
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i can see his irritation , also, 2 other worms this yr have all but stopped giving silk -- mod6 , phf -- 'for no apparent reason' ☟︎
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i dun have with what to disagree with mp. he wants professional, well-scheduled performance, like e.g. asciilifeform's day job. and he gets it, from diana_coman , whom he employs fulltime. as for asciilifeform & the other 'hangers on', all they've to bring to the table is, i guess, worm shit ?
mp_en_viaje: because you can't go back in time and do anything differently ; if you're married to this "here's my narrative of what i've done", you're a worm, digging out wormholes through the wood or w/e.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-30 16:28 BingoBoingo: As it is, there's no mention of the MIPS experiment on your blog. Last post is FFA Chapter 19. I suspect if put together a weekly or every other weekly "This is what I've done, here's what I am chewing on, here is what has yet to be bit off, etc" would calm some nerves
mp_en_viaje: which yes, is not the problem of asciilifeform personally. nevertheless, the part where nobody can predict what the fuck's gonna happen and when is one of the strands i believe the ultimate failure aggregate's weaved from.
mp_en_viaje: internet goes shitty at the precisely useful moment, what can i do. eventually i get pissed off enough, step away, bbl.
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-30#1920914 << this is rather a structural problem. we had, for years, a "foundation", pompously called nothing, that sat on its ass doing a literal jack shit for however many years until finally managed to bumble onto a collision course. we've had pizarro for years now, and this pizarro has as many customers today as it had yesterday, and last week, and last year -- minus dpb, i guess. ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2019-06-30 15:36 asciilifeform: i presume that erryone who wants to, knows where to find asciilifeform when he is sacked and '!rate -10 once was someone we liked, nao for the knackers' etc. erryone who does not -- plox to write in.
BingoBoingo: I am managing the day to day, month to month, but someone with capital has to represent the capital ☟︎
asciilifeform: left off making promises which i dun have the resources to make good on, is all of it
mp_en_viaje: wtf is this, "i don't like the way the tests results are coming out so ima impugn the lab" ? "i'm not fat, i'm just stressed and besides everyone this side of ozarks looks like this" ?
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: then what was topic ? the lack of a per-ch release calendar ? attempted already, all it did is to add to asciilifeform's reputation as charlatan. and for that matter i dun recall any successes among the other folx with day jobs re multiweek calendars for pro-bono worx.
mp_en_viaje: and yes, i get it, it irritates you to high heavens your work isn't moving faster. that's fine. but it is also not the topic here. ☟︎
asciilifeform: entirely willing to work with people, review plans, etc. but if mp_en_viaje declares ' i have snails here in terrarium faster than asciilifeform ' then i have no counter-argument, what sorta counter could there be.

mp_en_viaje: idn't, so this is how i'll be different from now on", it is not POSSIBLE to do anything worthy of such lofty names as "sane computing" or even "programmed vcr".
mp_en_viaje: yes, i'm very much aware "asciilifeform would rather roll out gossipd, trbi, sane comp irons, etc. ~with~ participation of mp_en_viaje" etc. the problem here is -- you will do no such thing. what you will do, instead, is reconfigure your own desk into some sort of shape you and you alone deem meaningful, and that's all. because it is not POSSIBLE, for the man who can't say either "i will do this" and then do it, nor "i said i would do this, but d
mp_en_viaje: you have been, systematically if ineffectually (though i'm sure it looks exactly the other way from inside) attempting to escape management. this is an unhealthy state of affairs, and one that bars you from meaningful interaction with other people.
BingoBoingo: As it is, there's no mention of the MIPS experiment on your blog. Last post is FFA Chapter 19. I suspect if put together a weekly or every other weekly "This is what I've done, here's what I am chewing on, here is what has yet to be bit off, etc" would calm some nerves ☟︎
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i'ma go to tea, and perhaps during this either someone deigns to cut the binomial into pieces that fit in asciilifeform's head, or will fit by itself, or not.
diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-30#1920899 -> you just did it right here; tell me where exactly did I "suspect" such a thing; and see http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-30#1920874 . ☝︎☝︎
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i rec to wait an' see what mircea_popescu et al say -- maybe asciilifeform is a tard and has no biz handling irons, maybe oughta shine shoes
a111: Logged on 2019-06-30 15:44 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'm at the tail end of the necessary cycle, was gonna order the irons this wk, and book the flight -- next, but would first rather find out mp_en_viaje's plan
a111: Logged on 2019-06-22 13:46 diana_coman: asciilifeform: I did and I even found it easier than previous material though I'm not sure why;
asciilifeform: diana_coman: what to do when readers are silent ? e.g. all i have re 2019 ch's is diana_coman's http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-22#1919204 , thus far. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, it does not count. because it is ~retrospective~. this is how rocks communicate, "i can't speak for other hunks, but so far i hurtled three miles downhill"
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i presume 'communicate' dun look like e.g. this ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i dunno, atm im figuring some time and a re-read is the only ticket.
asciilifeform: i dun know how to photosynthesize, diana_coman .
diana_coman: I'm keeping silent because I'm at a loss as to how to get through to asciilifeform
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if i've failed to apprehend the actual item, dun hesitate to elaborate, asciilifeform is grown-up and can be relied on not to cry
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i dun have a wunderwaffe up my sleeve that'd allow me to work 4x faster, or wunderwaffe of such kind that 'do not sack, i have this-here wunderwaffe!'
asciilifeform: diana_coman: maybe he oughta be sacked ! who am i to say
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i like to work with mircea_popescu , and would prefer to continue, but as i understand was already proclaimed a lamer, and why would mircea_popescu want to work with a lamer ? ☟︎
mp_en_viaje: "personally i'd rather put fish on the fish counters" << is this the available variants ? metaphore ?
asciilifeform: pretty sure i described the available variants. what did i miss ?
mp_en_viaje: i dun have a plan, i have a problem.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'm at the tail end of the necessary cycle, was gonna order the irons this wk, and book the flight -- next, but would first rather find out mp_en_viaje's plan ☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: i presume that erryone who wants to, knows where to find asciilifeform when he is sacked and '!rate -10 once was someone we liked, nao for the knackers' etc. erryone who does not -- plox to write in. ☟︎
asciilifeform: personally i'd rather put fish on the fish counters, imho the resources for this are there. but it aint actually ~my~ fish counter, i just catch fish for it ( with no boat an' no net, but with bare hands. )
asciilifeform: esp. nao that dpb, i suspect, will not long have his fg dealership
a111: Logged on 2019-06-30 00:41 trinque: BingoBoingo: like "someday I'll post such a great pic on instagram I'll have the likes to buy a flat in miami" or what
asciilifeform: i was not there, with time machine.
mp_en_viaje: was beria i nfact the proponent of much more de-stalinisation than politburo was willing to take ?
mp_en_viaje: this position whereby "i discard all record for $cause" and then "what indicia do you have" is just obscurantism.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-30 00:33 trinque: but I guess it was permavacation to the outside, 80s partying
mp_en_viaje: which is fucking beautiful, cuz it's precisely why i even made a blog in the first place, save my fucking time.
mp_en_viaje: very quick answer to all sorta questions, i can get through like 5-6 normal people "dates" in all of three minutes.
mp_en_viaje: just look what happened, will you ? 20 lines produced 500 and i'm barely into the next day.
