spyked: speaking of which;
to all ircbot users: I have a patch proposal for ircbot (and possibly logbot).
the problem: nickserv authentication makes a distinction between "nickname" and "user".
this allows e.g.
to group multiple irc bots (with different nicks) under a single username and cloak. so my proposal is
to add a new *optional* "user" slot
to ircbot and use it for auth instead of "nick" when available
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2018-05-01 16:25 phf: ight have
time
to sit down with v.pl before mid may. i can also just remove
the right hand side of vtools for now, since
this new complexity is coming from an experimental v graph anyway. i've no idea
though if people are using a sha512 vtools in preference of awk vdiff / gnu patch.

http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-31#1560740 , and
there was a particular link some
time in past yr which i now cannot find, where someone actually went and ~measured~
the reaction
time delay of msdos, various winblowz boxen from past 20yr, crapple, bolix, etc etc and found exactly what i'd expect him
to find )
ben_vulpes: pg "SSI" does
this correctly afaik; would serve coherent versions of comments and article i believe.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes,
that case is really no different ; phuctor is just a mechanized
trilema with a narrow focus.
mircea_popescu: and even more complicated dirty mixes, whereby eg "the article -- new ; but
the comments -- old, so we are serving a false imaginary situation
that never could have existed irl!!!" is still... no harm done WHATSOEVER.
ben_vulpes: my attention is on
the original phuctorgenic goal of "i don't care about your concurrency controls, gimme whatever's in
the page ritenao!"
mircea_popescu: in
the case of
trilema, for instance,
the db serving articles FROM YESTERDAY OR EARLIER ONLY, ie, 86400000000 microseconds old, is still 99% of
the job done. cuz most of
the
time you're not even using it for "the latest", and even if
there is a latest in any meaningful sense it's many millions / billions /
trillions microseconds old anyway.
mircea_popescu: it's way
the fuck better
to ~serve~ even if
the article is epsilon seconds "too old"
than
to hang while you update, or even fucking worse, reject
the connection.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, consider
the eminent case of apache serving mp-wp.
the fact
that at
t1 i updated
the article list and at
t2
the db read
the stale
t0 version makes EXACTLY NO DIFFERENCE.
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2016-12-30 17:14 mircea_popescu: it really should be up
to operator wtf, if i want
to read dirty let me read dirty what sort of decision is
this for designer
to make.
ben_vulpes is a day behind, will attend
to invoices
that need indepth review
tomorrow; outstanding invoices will go out
this pm
lobbesbot: mircea_popescu:
The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: !Qlater
tell bingoboingo also were
there errors
to be rectified from b4 or anything ?

mircea_popescu: the eastern/orthodox expression being "durerea-i ziditoare", ie, pain [builds]
the kingdom of heaven
mircea_popescu: which is why ux is such a
terrible field. it's caught in
this fundamental
tension, between moomoos "wanting"
to stay moomoos on one hand, and "doctor, my eye hurts every
time i
take a sip of my coffee" on
the other.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-02 04:58 ben_vulpes: IA is for
that revered fourth, fifth and sixth standard deviation; not for
teh everyonez
mircea_popescu: i suppose
the correct construction is
that he simply doesn't know what's going on. aanyways.
ben_vulpes: i can have
the software written, by devoted historians i
train myself or who've built a relationship upon delivery and savvy over years of wot relationships
ben_vulpes: gabriel_laddel: why would i give a shit when you seem dedicated
to
the penurious style
that'll prevent you from ever delivering on
the implications.
ben_vulpes: right. put another way, why are you so obsessed over
this nominally-solved problem
to such a degree
that you'd deprive
the republic of a capitalized sapper
ben_vulpes: gabriel_laddel: it doesn't matter for so long as
the incans control
the fabs.

☟︎ gabriel_laddel: ben_vulpes okay, so where do fexpers stand? Can we do away with
them given our SETF-editor & populated infodb?
ben_vulpes: these are
tools of intelligence amplification, done correctly. users/eyeballs/hitcounters are *the* antipattern.
ben_vulpes: wanking over
the wallpaper doesn't kneecap
the megastate one whit
gabriel_laddel: ben_vulpes what do we get out of populating
the infodb with s-expression sources and editing with SETF rather
than working
through files?
ben_vulpes: and i get
the appeal of visionary supermandom but dude upcycling craptops with a hilarious gentoonotalisp is very shy of
that mark
ben_vulpes: there are
three
things
to do: britneyize, lash yourself
to another man's oar, or be
the visionary superman
ben_vulpes: gabriel_laddel: i gotta point out
that precursors, arms and crack are *all* milkings.
gabriel_laddel: But adali? BB?
The old ex-mit-ai-lab guy I met who now just
tutors kids in math & DOESNT EVEN
TEACH
THEM LISP?! Or
the other ex-symbolics people?
a111: Logged on 2018-05-02 04:28 gabriel_laddel: but no,
they want
to "be reasonable", "hold jobs", "have a place
to stay", "not do hard drugs" and on and on it goes
ben_vulpes: flail in
the dark on your own if you must.
ben_vulpes: i've yet
to see evidence of you doing either, so
the objection cannot stand.
gabriel_laddel: I'd rather sell crack/arms/precursors
than milk moocows.
ben_vulpes: there is nothing "reasonable" about
the
trilema plan for wealth, come on now.
ben_vulpes: not in
the work itself, innards of windows and "whitelabled mobile experiences" are only worthwhile insofar as
they drain
the beasts of
their lifeblood
ben_vulpes: gabriel_laddel:
there is much enjoyment
to be had in building great moocow milking machines
ben_vulpes: and
the starkest, most bleak indictment of all, no great men
to serve
ben_vulpes: because 'britneyization',
the crushing drive
to make everything as cheap, of as few and
the cheapest atoms possible in order
to sell it at
the largest scale
to
the greatest number of people, because
this is how socialism works: big
tents, eyeballs, "hamburgers served", number of voters
gabriel_laddel: but no,
they want
to "be reasonable", "hold jobs", "have a place
to stay", "not do hard drugs" and on and on it goes
☟︎ gabriel_laddel: fuck patience.
That attitude is why we don't have one now. If people had just generally been less of a bunch of complete girly-men at symbolics, or
the MIT AI lab, or Franz, or or or we'd have something
that's close enough
to "troo lispm" for me, even if ascii would be unhappy about it.
ben_vulpes: which, make no mistake, is precisely what you're doing. pulling refuse from
the usgstani fabrication pipeline and "oh dear sir or madam,
this posey
to spare your child from
the plague i mean hailofbullets"
ben_vulpes: look i admire your determination but
there's no leverage and no market anywhere
to be seen; you could be patient, scraping down food credits and suffering now for what will be an entire IC
two decades from now had ye
the foresight
to not waste your
time picking rags
gabriel_laddel: *shrugs* I'm interested in
the lispm. BTC is incidental. Interesting, but incidental. Have sold my absolutely-not-a-lispm in
the past & plan
to continue doing so in
the future. Last
time around I was homeless, couldn't get rides
to meetups, no ebay account etc.
This
time around, not so much.
gabriel_laddel: same one. lisp machine. bulletproofed case & sold
to mass market as "save your kid in event of school shooting"
ben_vulpes: but rest easy meine freunde
there is nothing easier in
this world
than ballooning your leverage and socking pennies away in btc
ben_vulpes: gabriel_laddel: for poor fuxx like you and me
there is only
the
trilemman 'plan for wealth'
trinque: heh, at least
that one admits
the addiction
trinque: gabriel_laddel: did you ever post pics of
the foot?
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: Not starving, am just poor (for
the
time being).
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu lisp jobs exist for ~anyone who is willing
to spend some
time working for it. Sorta like northstar electronics &
the dragonfly
a111: Logged on 2018-04-06 00:59 gabriel_laddel: beetlejuice is suffering gainful employment writing java for

time being
mircea_popescu: i
thought lisp stuff for money is
the province of a few remainder whitebeards in usg.missiles grandfathered contracts.
gabriel_laddel: ben_vulpes I've no problem with working in BTC, but you have
to understand
that when I say
things like "no really, I've 1 computer, ~400 usd
to my name and a package of camels" I really mean it.
ben_vulpes: or are you still scared of being seen
to
transact in btc

ben_vulpes: hey gabriel_laddel now
that you've got a job and everything, how about a bouncer on
the pizarro shared host?
mod6: I guess I need
to noodle on
this a while, and perhaps make a different example outside
the context of
trb.
a111: Logged on 2018-04-03 00:07 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform seems
to me a correctly designed and properly implemented version of
trinque 's original doodle, which he summarily described as "bundle all files
together and hash"
mod6: I dunno, maybe i've forgotten
the point of all of
this.
mod6: And
the vertical pillar of flow, in
this case, is
the crystal.
mod6: I believe so, it does
this: 1] It
takes a press of v99. 2] Runs dir2txt.py on each dir, doing vdiffs of all
the files. Stuffing output into monoblok. 3] Monoblok has 1 antecedent hash, 1 dependant hash, rest meta & source. 4] You load
the monobloks (signed ofc) into a vtron, press
them.
They press into one giant file with metadata and source only. 5] one runs
txt2dir.py on
teh giant crystal
to inflate univ
mod6: If I would have been more careful
the first
time, would have been 1.
