mircea_popescu: do me a favour and don't wait on the voice part so
as to dump it together with the rss part, either.
trinque: spyked: so sounds like you're going to patch your items (in
as many small, easy to read patches
as possible) atop ircbot?
a111: Logged on 2018-05-25 13:29 phf: back in the canonical log days, i'd patch the name in the logs, but since we're past that i think it can be left
as is, unless there are objections
as far
as log authenticity.
mircea_popescu: spyked, v presses that
as it is now, why not. plenty of examples extant.
mircea_popescu: but should eg, bitcoin-fs be written, then yes trb will exist in the same tree
as bitcoin-fs. and should we go
as low
as tmsr-os, then yes, tmsr-os
as genesis will have bitcoin-fs patchzone and then trb patchzone after that. and people wanting to use bitcoinfs for something else can just press up to there and no further. and projects wanting to import bitcoinfs but not trb will just build off that height of tree, and continue
mircea_popescu: if it were the case that item has >1 dependency, oi1..n, then it would have been resolved by a) picking one and b) introducing
as patches into that tree all otheritems 1..n-1.
spyked: mircea_popescu, lemme try to restate the thing
as I see it. the rss bot doesn't make changes to ircbot, it's a new thing that uses ircbot
as a dependency. so from this follows (in my mind, so pls to say if broken!) that the new thing will be a genesis.
mircea_popescu: but be that
as it may : there's always going to be good and bad arguments for whatever choice ; but that has no bearing on the fact that you must still choose, and at the time of choice not at whatever time it may occur to you to.
mircea_popescu: is it that you're writing a new item ? is it that you're extending an extant one ? this is decided FIRST. not "
as we go along, and then changed".
mircea_popescu: "obviously" and "implicitly" are not nearly
as friendly
as they may seem ; especially in this context.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-25 21:02 spyked: dependencies explicitly; this is already the case in the bot's .asd file), or c. add rss bot
as set of patches onto ircbot.
spyked takes this lesson. will make his pre/post-work communication happen (
as explicitly
as possible) in the future.
mircea_popescu: well, did you protest that anywhere ? preferably
as "hey $x, im trying to use ircbot to make rssbot, but you've not got voice going ?!"
☟︎ spyked: dependencies explicitly; this is already the case in the bot's .asd file), or c. add rss bot
as set of patches onto ircbot.
☟︎ spyked: mircea_popescu, I'm not sure what you mean. lemme explain: the rss bot depends on ircbot and other pieces (some imported from heathenlands, some written by scratch from yours truly). from my reading so far, (e.g. diana_coman's use of MPI in Eucrypt) I dun see this
as a strictly solved problem. I could a. make a new genesis consisting of ircbot + rss bot + all dependencies, or b. genesis rss bot alone (and mention ircbot + all others

as far
as I can see, this first writing pass exposes incorrect assumptions about e.g. data structures and how they're used. if this keeps happening, then it might be that the problem is larger than the mind can chew on in one take.
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-05-25 04:26 Mocky: like that naacp 'leader' who identified
as black
trinque: ah, could just
as well be some other derp. plenty of solipsists around
trinque: KernelKhaos: didn't you drop by
as some other cutesy nick?

as much
as my walking speed has slowed today, THEY STILL WON'T STOP STOPPING
BingoBoingo: But it is 10x
as much megawatt strategy accomplishing contra the 100 watt station
BingoBoingo: Well,
as of last year Uruguay has amateur license classes that allow pumping up to 1500 screaming watts on certain parts of the spectrum
trinque: phf: an idea for logs, it might be easier to find threads if the scope of a search could be more than one line, perhaps
as a parameter like "from:".

☟︎ spyked: now, the reason why this has been taking me so long is that I hoped I would publish the pieces
as I went along. but this is harder than it looked, had to write what is now unreadable (other than by myself) prototype, then (point c. on my list) I'll have to rewrite/refactor and then publish. all this despite the fact that this is "known item", not FFA.
mircea_popescu: especially
as it's been the case for > 10 years by now
trinque: these, the identified-
as-black, hip-gay, feminist-ally and the rest, always struck me
as having missed a developmental stage
mircea_popescu: "african-americans" however are universally "curious about what'd it be like", and for the obvious reason : they're about
as african
as i am.
Mocky: like that naacp 'leader' who identified

mircea_popescu: the father who can't talk to his son, but enjoys "expressing himself" through their fishing together is just
as mentally broken
as a proper sadist, just in a different spot of what'd be a normallty working brain.
mircea_popescu: alright. the recently mentioned andrei chikatilo is a textbook model. the man could not achieve an erection with either willing or unwilling partners ; he used stabbing
as an erection substitute.
mircea_popescu: right. can you explain the difference between sadism,
as the clinically relevant psych term of art, and "sadism", ie, fake sadism,
as the common discourse locus ?
mircea_popescu: but removing the perceived positive value of fit (such
as, by publicly burning "consensus"
as in the imperial facade,
as the republic has done) seems a large step in the right direction.
mircea_popescu: (sleep is a similar item -- it originally appeared
as a learned behaviour to conserve energy and lower capture risk ;
as it provided a niche CNS growth parasitized it, and so now oyu need to sleep though your fridge is full and there's no preditors threatening you)
a111: Logged on 2018-02-14 14:22 mircea_popescu: MEANWHILE, however, they have 100% unaccounted for the time externality. so basically it's a contest consisting of a guy without legs going about finding fault with people's fingers. because he's decided "legs don't count", and so
as he has much better hands than the rest of those losers he should be captain of the football team.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, since we're doing astrophysics : the largest conceivable power plant / ecological disaster would be, of course, collapsing galactic objects (ie, stars) into galaxy cores (ie, black holes, practically). for instance, pushing the sun into saggitarius would conceivably yield a gross of about 10^40 or so J in a relatively short timespan. certainly wouldn't cost
as much. (an intermediate step to this being
http://trile mircea_popescu: speaking of which : most large black holes have average densities lower than water. anyone care to explain why,
as a 5th grade geometry olympiad problem ?
mircea_popescu: in vitro, purified virus is essentially a large molecule,
as inert
as salt. in vivo... what do you mean purified, and what do you mean inert.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, how are they to ~stay~ in the state ? see, that's the thing, "free floating hydrogen"
as a theoretical possibility. sure, why not. "free floating hydrogen
as a STABLE STATE"... well... no such theoretical possibility. it can't be a stable state for very clear reasons.
mircea_popescu: "sadly, in some fields there's only enumerable stable states, once not-in-1, then-in-other becomes unavoidable." there's no such thing
as clever honest man-alone.
mircea_popescu: dude suffered for a while from this "i don't wanna X!!!" syndrome,
as if anyone was in any danger of asking anything like it. "i don't wanna go to the prom!!!" "fatty... who's asking you to ?!"
mircea_popescu: which means that yes, if tmsr builds a drone assembly line, it will work
as designed.
mircea_popescu: but yes, evidently they can. this was after all the fucking point of even fabricating fgs / getting isp up etc : we CAN,
as a factual matter, operate.
mircea_popescu: and renaming "x -- will take an inordinate amt of doing"
as "x -- impossible" is a category error.
trinque: they're claiming 25k ft max altitude,
as per specs page
mircea_popescu: eh, i don't imagine anyone but alf could seriously contemplate the "fabrication difficulties". gimme a break, i can and have bought machining tools that'd have been worth "hal;f the empire" in 1935 for a pittance. they make complex shaped metal sheets, and are cheap
as fuck
mircea_popescu: the commie notion of "den of prostitution"
as fit to put on film... o brother. RIGHT THERE is why driving TR past any value the idiots could survive is 100% justified.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-24 17:29 mircea_popescu: instead of you having to contend with 5mn other idiots trying to live in the same state ; you have to contend with only 50k.
as a result, all real estate available consists of plots in excess of 50 acres, which include a creek, and forest. goes for the same price
as you pay now, but it is what it is.
phf: "month 6 in this godless, accursed land. last night
as the fever broke the captain died, since the chaplain died a month ago, the men had to hold service, however sparse it was"
BingoBoingo: But the idea is
as more offerings happen, (2nd shared account machine, etc) the page structure has room to eat them.
mircea_popescu: it is not. consider -- i can (even thouigh ben_vulpes apparently can't) spin up endless instances of whatever boxen, notwithstanding "such a thing
as the self-packing os was posed by neumann and stays where it was posed" bla bla.
mircea_popescu: no, you do it with machinery,
as everything everywhere. that's what "modern" means, that the per-capita productivity is not actually finite.

☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: that "person in charge" doesn't know this, speaks
as to the incredible decay of explicit understanding -- by the time you lack the words and preformed expressions to describe necessity you've fallen into pre-literate times ; unequal to herodotus.
mircea_popescu: understand, such a thing
as teenage female suicide is not known in classical works. it only appears once the need for the pressure to perform appears, at high enough tech densities.
mircea_popescu: if populace was the criteria, should have applied for admission
as chinese ssr in 1972.
mircea_popescu: i just see it
as wankers, the sort that could participate but doesn't.
mircea_popescu: of course it is. much like anyone with head out of ass sees apple
as apple. wtf would they have seen it
as.
mircea_popescu: otherwise, same processes were supposed to work the same way ; and most of the peripheral agents not in the "need to know" bubble are even to thsi day claiming they worked
as supposed.
mircea_popescu: can be, yes. but in any case -- there's no such thing
as blackface devaluation. blackface is ALWAYS a camp phenomenon.
mircea_popescu: the key ingredient for the "shovel-and-wheelbarrow" mark in germany isn't so much the paper itself,
as it is the individuals who'd have traded "all of this" for "any little of that".
mircea_popescu: oh i forgot to mention -- yest
as i was moving about town somebody shot up the mexican embassy here
mircea_popescu: anyway, the "up" and "down" may not be
as firmly manifest
as you personally imagine. postmodernism is bizarro world, up is down, they say hello when they leave...
mircea_popescu: hey ; be that
as it may it's still more than what trump managed to date.
mircea_popescu: mod6,
as they gain experience linking things people learn not to put punctuation marks after the link >D
mircea_popescu: (also, i hope everyone is reading pivopollo correctly
as /pɪvopõʎɔ/, yes)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, they have an automated escrow thing, see. localbitcoins i mean. here : 1. people tender offers ; 2. you close one ; 3. they either cancel or mark it
as satisfied ; 4. you check and either release payment or dispute 3.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-24 13:28 mircea_popescu: you can expect actual payments in your hand in 1 to 2 cases out of ten tries (defining a "try"
as having initiated a tx on localbitcoins -- which btw jumps randomly for unclear reasons), worth about 90% of the lulsite price.
mircea_popescu: i would say it is an absolute requirement for pizarro to maintain a localbitcoins account and sink in the required time to build itself a network of known-good users,
as these in fact appear to exist, and may constitute humanity candidates / come in useful laterally.
