danielpbarron: oh, in the context from which I found it, she was called 'he'
thestringpuller: Turning Planeshift + Crystalspace into Unity is like turning Bitcoin into Visa, so I don't think it should be a job for anyone.
nubbins`: the only developer, i guess
danielpbarron: i thought maybe you designed the item images or something
danielpbarron: ah, so i've yet to see your work
nubbins`: we created all of the heraldics for the family lines (yet to be implemented), i also produced the first round of OS X compilation instructions and helped get eulorum set up / own the domain
nubbins`: danielpbarron i did several parcels of work for the ministry of games, in paid official capacity as well as volunteer/unofficial capacity.
assbot: Logged on 10-03-2016 13:55:25; jurov: drat. so far i failed to observe it with people that i hired
nubbins`: am i literally the ONLY person who understands the rules around here?
nubbins`: besides, i didn't quote you without context, i *misquoted* you in the *midst* of context. jeez.
nubbins`: once i checked the log, i understood that you actually "stabbed" me
nubbins`: sorry, i have a script that changes words of violence to words of kindness
nubbins`: o o o i see.
danielpbarron: at least i'm not the catamite in that case
jurov: nubbins`: i take it you're stabbing/hugging each other in the pederasty context
nubbins`: i thought you didn't like me anymore
jurov: drat. so far i failed to observe it with people that i hired ☟︎
shinohai: Speaking of stakes, I wonder how BingoBoingo impalement project is coming. ☟︎
asciilifeform: danielpbarron must have eaten that last vial of lsd! i sincerely wish him a good trip. but now i gotta go and start the engine and ride to the place where i sit on a stake for most every day.
danielpbarron: i have some
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: mircea_popescu believes (and i'm not convinced that he's wrong) that hiring people lowers them into pederasty. and he's the ~only fella with money here. so then.
danielpbarron: asciilifeform> the 'reddit appeal' of what we do << i didn't mean reaching out any further than in this very channel
asciilifeform: but i was speaking of value to usg looters.
assbot: Logged on 10-03-2016 12:41:33; asciilifeform: i was willing to deal with the cpp miseryu of trb because 1) it pre-dates bitcoin being valuable 2) it was - and remains - the schelling point, 'father's pistols'
davout: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-03-2016#1428526 <<< have to disagree here, bitcoin had value to me sometime in 2010, the minute i finished the white-paper ☝︎
asciilifeform: 'crowdfundings', as i understand, have worked for mass crapolade ☟︎
danielpbarron: well i got nothing else to spend my stupid btc on
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: i'd have to spend half of that year looking for next work.
asciilifeform: i am having to work 14-18 hrs/day (including slavemine) just to make some of these not-happenings possibly happen.
asciilifeform: but re: the sommelier thing, i would happily supply folks with sane hardware, but this would 1) take serious time & effort while 2) wouldn't pay my billz
asciilifeform: i don't buy whole computer (other than portables, for restricted uses)
asciilifeform: aha but i didn't buy it!
asciilifeform: i recommended it ?!
danielpbarron: i got that hp workstation you recommened
danielpbarron: i had all but given up on computers entirely until i found bitcoin
danielpbarron: although without a bitcoin i don't have much interest in computer parts anyway, so that's a catch-22
asciilifeform: i have NO use for btc other than escape glider from my auschwitz
shinohai: That's mainly what I use BTC for - equipment. (When I can actually acquire it!)
shinohai: Heh I forgot I have mebbe 1/2 gram of 25C-nBOMe left xD
danielpbarron: still had a little left for my great purge when i burned the contents of my drug box as well as some eastern philosophy texts and my karate uniform
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: mircea_popescu ! unless i misunderstood him somehow. ☟︎
jurov: oh i misunderstood
shinohai: As I told mod6 I do not advocate surrender myself :/
asciilifeform: i will repeat, i have NO interest in any 'bitcoin replacement' originating from outside of the wot.
asciilifeform: so if you lot end up surrendering, i will simply have to add 'bitcoin replacement' to my already tall pile of 'redo computing' pyramid, slowly grind it in my mostly nonexisting spare time, and wait another 20 years to find a new set of sane people, if i live that long. ☟︎
asciilifeform: it would, i suspect, take me 1/2 y to 1y of UNINTERRUPTED full time to come up with the goods. which pointedly isn't in any danger of happening.
asciilifeform: (i loathe ada, but this needs a BOUNDS-CHECKED language where i can AUDIT THE BINARY and NO RUNTIME COMPONENT / GC - which leaves exactly ONE)
asciilifeform: i am sick and tired of there being usg c/cpp code in the loop ANYWHERE.
asciilifeform: this pointedly does not mean that i am interested in attempting to wash the smell of shit off a rando sickly rat from rando sewer.
shinohai: I will use trb as long as it works on the overall network, failing that I will have to find something else to occupy my time.
asciilifeform: i was willing to deal with the cpp miseryu of trb because 1) it pre-dates bitcoin being valuable 2) it was - and remains - the schelling point, 'father's pistols' ☟︎
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-03-2016#1428461 << guess what ~i personally won't ever be caught dead doing~ ??? ☝︎
danielpbarron: i'm pretty good at doing that too
asciilifeform: (it is certainly where most of the ones i ever had, went.)
asciilifeform: losing at bbet is pretty much the only place i can blow btc !
danielpbarron: glad i didn't bet
punkman: https://i.imgur.com/9OFeOiG.png << we have pretty much all of those here :D
fluffypony: and I asked them why they were building on Ethereum, and despite much hand-waving they couldn't give me an actual reason
shinohai: "This is the Ethereum app directory with all non-working, gambling and meta apps removed." https://i.imgur.com/9OFeOiG.png <<< I kek'd at this.
fluffypony: davout: I made that exact argument at a meetup in Berlin last year where someone presented some junk they're building on Ethereum
mircea_popescu: i'm not convinced either. but there's the possibility.
davout: i'm really not convinced we'll see a HF this year
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> or did i read that backwards ? <<< seems so ?
asciilifeform: but i have not tried this yet.
gernika: I'm just going to try out some z80 stuff. seems easier to use this than flashing eeproms.
gernika: ok. bleh. one more laptop laying around the house couldn't hurt I guess.
gernika: It looked like there was a dos util for it -- then I realized that was from 1999.
asciilifeform: kinda like what i did here, http://www.loper-os.org/?p=668
gernika: asciilifeform: do you operate the EE Tools EeRom-8U (I think you referenced it in the logs recently) with windows? If so, with which 10 foot pole?
assbot: Logged on 09-03-2016 23:49:08; mircea_popescu: i suppose to be cracked the same way all of them get cracked - guy with immense downlist and very well connected gets off his lazy, stupid fiat-ass and goes through the wot selection process. then has enough spots specific and high level enough to interest the locals. seems a tall order.
asciilifeform: but yes, the ONLY possible thing i would ever consider a job upgrade is ... not having to leave the house, or talk
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-03-2016#1428365 << i do unspeakable things to pay billz (not in a literal cube, but this is the ~one~ saving grace) ☝︎
asciilifeform: or did i read that backwards ?
assbot: ATAC BIZAR de 8 Martie: O femeie i-a TĂIAT TESTICULELE soţului său pentru că nu i-a luat FLORI ... ( http://bit.ly/220XLih )
mircea_popescu: http://www.evz.ro/o-femeie-i-a-taiat-testiculele-sotului-sau-pentru-ca-nu-i-a-luat-flori-de-8-martie.html << holy shit it's real.
mircea_popescu: but anyway - now that ars technica has proven that black slavery never happened, we can go back to separate but equal, i guess.
mircea_popescu: "why would i ??!?! i am going to be the president of the united states!" "because you're one twist away from being an idiot" "so ?!"
mircea_popescu: i suppose to be cracked the same way all of them get cracked - guy with immense downlist and very well connected gets off his lazy, stupid fiat-ass and goes through the wot selection process. then has enough spots specific and high level enough to interest the locals. seems a tall order. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: fluffypony tbh i did spend some time thinking about it - then. i don't see how what he was trying to do could have worked. why the everloving would someone here eschew the benefit of the wot and "hire someone to hire" for you ?
Azelphur: At least, the above is what I was told by one of his supposed clients
Azelphur: something like that, only minus the team I guess?
Azelphur: I worked for him for a little over a year, he stopped paying me, now I hear he's taking web dev work and telling clients I'm working on their projects...I quit back in December and have no knowledge of said projects
gribble: RagnarDanneskjol was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 50 weeks, 4 days, 12 hours, 35 minutes, and 12 seconds ago: <RagnarDanneskjol> trinque - i am occasionally using the nick for continued development on punks ver. if anyone here's partial to the name I can pass it over. Wow that xm42
mircea_popescu: about the RagnarDanneskjol fellow ? i have no idea what he does tbh.
mircea_popescu: shinohai i guess "community organizing" doesn't pay as well as one'd have expected or w/e.
asciilifeform: also i will note, it is somewhat more difficult to bludgeon morons as a dervish, than from a dirigible.
asciilifeform: i tried this often, but was never really good at it.
mircea_popescu: yes, your dismissal of dear luc is, by some sort of exterior standard, correct. this is not the same as confronting the offender with the inconsistency of his own view ~in his own terms~, which is what i had in mind.
asciilifeform: and if not this, then i prolly don't even rightfully apprehend what mircea_popescu had in mind
mircea_popescu: you probably realise already that once the reference has to be "whole thread" i win.
mircea_popescu: i wonder how many wwwtrons the same size actually have this phenomena, where 3 yo article tops the charts. happens to me rather frequently.
mircea_popescu: anyway, while we differ on what we color iq-ism in, or what you eventually expect it to do, i don't think there's actual disagreement as to what it does.
asciilifeform: i once spent several months trying to devise a machine-generatable test that ~could~.
trinque: mircea_popescu: I'm not
trinque: +asciilifeform | but the 'brain learns' thing is pure nonexplanatory obscuratronium. << what, you thought I was satisfied with "learns" as a complete description?
mircea_popescu: i can formulate the flight equivalent of iq ; you can not formulate the cognitive equivalent of energy.
asciilifeform: computer, as i like to point out, very much is a boeing with feathers.
asciilifeform: i would say that we ~understand~ a thing if we can fully separate the ~accidental~ complexity of it from the ~essential~.
mircea_popescu: i would say so, yes.
mircea_popescu: the general complexity of the cell is perhaps the chief lie of popular conception of biology. "oh yeah, nucleus, cytoplasm, yeah i recall". you recall my left foot. golgi apparatus. a whole set of vacuoles. the nucleus has a membrane in layers. there's dozens of different items in there we don't even fully enumerate - and your understanding isn't good enough to stand for the mithocondria, which, incidentally, also has
