mircea_popescu: "but what is the point of a national literature ?! for one thing, then you have to read it!"
asciilifeform: somehow the point is lost on'em, that if for erry 1 $ they spent on 'raspberry' they kept a dime, they could buy half of tmsc co
asciilifeform: would be interesting to count the ants ~leaving~ ( the better traps, are mixed in such a way that some small % can get loose, and bring back friends )
asciilifeform: i expect there's a ~bottomless supply of those, if (who? for what?) ever needed 1.
mircea_popescu: "your stomach's there, what's a mind needed for", approx.
mircea_popescu: "but mp... it's not so much i want kids as in the bioproduct... i want to RAISE kids...." "wel then wtf are you making new ones for, plenty of already made needing your cuckservices. go teach highschool."
asciilifeform: imho straight cargo cult -- fella thought himself to be a product of similar process, didn't see 'why can't do again'
mircea_popescu: constructing a circus for his wife's minotaur eminently served that purpose OF HIS.
mircea_popescu: right ? so no, dood who "wants to feel like a good person" ends up doing the weirdo monogamous bs etcetera. which is what the original dood did also -- he didn't want the kid, he just wanted for he, himself, to feel like "a good person"
asciilifeform: tlp's 'feel like a trader' eh
mircea_popescu: one can not want such a thing as "red wine in a unicorn shaped glass". that's not properly speaking a want, that's just pretense. dood properly speaking wants to be seen by me (god, whatever, same difference), AS HE SEES HIMSELF.
mircea_popescu: one can want such a thing as wine, or red wine, or bordeaux, or even bordeaux from 1957
mircea_popescu: hence the earlier comments. "oh but mp, i don't want to procreate just like that... i want a small count of kids from this one specific woman to raise together bla bla bla" is strict nonsense.
asciilifeform: arthur d. little inc. once sewed silk purse from actual sow's ear. and floated a pb balloon, as advertising stunts, in '20s. but indeed 'remarkable bear, not remarkable dancer'
mircea_popescu: not that i'm even against the effort. if memory serves we ended up with lego out of a very similar preoccupation with turning pig's ears into silk purses. so whatever, i'm sure the ruins of us academia will provide very advanced an' amusing playgrounds for the non-retarded.
a111: Logged on 2014-07-19 03:15 mircea_popescu: now among this dozen, there was a mentally retarded girl. she wasn't badly touched, maybe 80 or so. definitely enough to take care of herself. definitely not enough for high level math. her parents however were i dun recall what academic country gentry, and so they insisted she go.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-18 03:09 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform recall that story about the dumbest gilr in my hs that ended up a math assistant prof ?
asciilifeform: sounds like the stage at which fella oughta take up motorcycle, or better still, single-engined prop plane, at least live a little and shorten the misery years
mircea_popescu: "what the fuck is wrong with you ?" "what! when my father had a stroke, patience and working out every day the diminished capacities remaining saw him cured within the year"
mircea_popescu: i once knew a rich man. he, like so many, had head well infested with goange, for some reason idiotic notion of monogamy, etcetera. predictably ended up with single wife, but "proper", "classy" whatever nonsense (as opposed to much more adequate whore) and predictably her only product was al
a111: Logged on 2019-04-27 21:50 asciilifeform: in other noose, asciilifeform met with some meatspace folx who rent out time on sem & ion beam station by the hr. 'bout a hundy per hr.
asciilifeform: recently usb banned the use of toy choppers in the open street, so they built a thing resembling tennis court. grad students on ladders pry the little broken corpses out of the ceiling net.
mircea_popescu: the net is too busy with amateurish excursions in phonetics navelgrazing, on the strong basis of how shit sounds to randos and a complete ignorance of phonetic notation.
asciilifeform: not even rare or expensive box, a hundy an' a half.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> never win [as idem]" because "all authority can do is multiply the questions", see, had they not "kidnapped sasha" there'd be fewer "questions to answer" and someone gives a shit etcetera. << Watching Pantsuit run against the actual popularity of Maduro has been a trip. "Yes, all the venezolanos you talk to hate Maduro, but how poor were they? How poor are they now?"
lobbes: now somewhere in all THAT, I'll need something to *generate* the html with, so to come full loop I would not be sad if a spyked cl-http-generator existed.
a111: Logged on 2019-05-02 07:11 spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-01#1910378 <-- do you mean the http side of the logotron? I'm quite interested in reading&signing a CL-based httptron, for multiple purposes. is to be one of the high-priority items on my list, unless lobbes wants a stab at it
lobbes: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-02#1910594 << well, I was going to attack it in pieces anyways, so actually if you want to do the CL-based httptron portion, I'd happily read/sign/use. Ultimately, I figure I'm going to need to first build a 'backend' that pulls the log data from the postgres db (probably using postmodern), and then the 'frontend' or app server that handles client requests (e.g. GET + POST), ☝︎
diana_coman: asciilifeform: that was a proto-cuntoo, essentially not exactly the current cuntoo
asciilifeform: to be maximally pedantic : both 'dulap' and 'rk' gentoo tarballs were created by literally tarring up the contents of two respective boxes where asciilifeform hand-sewed a gentoo based on the classic 2015-era 'kill list' gentoo recipe.
diana_coman: as far as I understood it, she was simply trying to get some gentoo system installed first i.e. to have A system, not that much to be able to emerge new stuff or whatever
asciilifeform: it's what's on s.mg an' dulap. but defo obsolete, it's a stone age glibc-based gentoo.
asciilifeform: ( it is in principle possible to make such a thing, but no one afaik has attempted , and i cannot immediately think re how to approach )
diana_coman: yes but I struggle to understand why was it that hanbot struggled so much with getting a cuntoo first since apparently there is actually this image that is frozen and usable
asciilifeform: there is not however a mechanism for 'convert from stone age gentoo to cuntoo w/out nuking disk', afaik .
asciilifeform: i expect it means 'so little cocaine as to not be worth extracting' then. ( must be similar to the case with the poison frog ? y'know, the little colourful one. they grow a++ in terrarium, but entirely safe to eat )
mircea_popescu: im no great expert in the matter, but apparently there is such a thing.

mircea_popescu: i literally attached a router.
a111: Logged on 2019-05-02 11:04 mircea_popescu: besides, i don't even believe the comparison's adequate. as experience proves time and again, every single other channel is 100% a by-headcount affair, there's no substance and no quality anywhere else, but strictly a brutish dedication to quantity.
mircea_popescu: "Linia dintre noi a fost trasa de strada. Tu stai pe-a ta, eu stau pe-a mea.. ramine-asa."
a111: Logged on 2018-12-20 15:46 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform on meditation, that piece makes it plainly evident redditardation is ~generational~, not ideological. there sit the russki kids, who'd be in a fine position to understand the problem. god knows they have much better access to much better priors that readily illuminate it.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, higher life's just not a calling.
diana_coman: from github for that project it seemed it's a chinese guy too so I'd have hoped perhaps not exactly same,hm.
diana_coman: it's such a well-worn ditch they dug themselves into that there isn't even an alternative failure mode anymore, huh
diana_coman: it seems to me that there are sadly quite a few things that end up like that and it's infuriating
mircea_popescu: well, i can't fucking find it. it was a kinda cool pastebin like thing, had a very retro look, like a qr code or soemsuch

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-02#1910580 << prolly time to drop the phraseology and settle for a more adequately modest http://thetarpit.org/posts/y05/082-tmsr-schedule-i.html sorta thing, "this is what i intend to do". doesn't it get akward to "oh, state of bitcoin address, mod6 did this mod6 did that mod6 did the other" ? ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-01#1910575 << certainly a standard worth trying to hold on to ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-01#1910550 << having a pile of amds is not the worst fate. http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-27#1910082 and all that. ☝︎☝︎
mircea_popescu: so... yeah, it's a dubiously disagregate situation currently.
a111: Logged on 2019-05-01 19:37 diana_coman: myeah; I'm not a fan of remote-install anything for that matter but anyway.

mircea_popescu: and so it goes -- i spend hours here gladly each day ; i can barely summon the interest by the quarter hour, sporadically, a time or two ~in all eternity~ for some other joint. the same standards eminently do not apply, can't possibly apply.
mircea_popescu: trilema may exist in any count ; nothing else may dare pretend to existence short of millions. precisely in the manner a good car may cost whatever it costs ; but a cheap car'd better be fucking cheap.

spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-01#1910403 <-- ftr, /me plans to post the next items on his todo list sometime next week, after a coupla photoposts ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2019-05-01 05:46 lobbes: So with the release of the auctionbot vpatch the next item up in my list was the auto-bidding. However, I'm thinking I may bump the "logotron for #pizarro" item up (eventually releasing as a vpatch). Going to take a stab at making it 100% common lisp.

spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-27#1910134 <-- makes lotsa sense, actually, so I'll leave it until someone for some reason needs to put a trilemabot in their logbot ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2016-10-04 15:36 asciilifeform: ACHTUNG, PANZERS! pc engines 'apu2' (the board with the intel nics - vs. 'apu1', with realtek) , turns out, is crippled, hdt probe barfs with it, the cpu is reputed to have a drm fuse set.
BingoBoingo: Have you baked yourself a cuntoo yet?
BingoBoingo: Sounds like a plan, 10 machines in a trip isn't a bad density.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: currently i'm thinking, 2 x dulap-style, 2 x 1u w/ ea. 4 x apu1 'amd g' where cuntoo in write-protected rom . ( i have a rom booter for the latter, built on ancient 'coreboot' )
BingoBoingo: Without a timeline for arm64 gnat, AMD64 makes a lot more sense
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: diana_coman provoked me to think : until arm64 gnat is fixed ( and we dun know when this will be! cuz ave1 is MIA ! ) it does not make sense to expand the rk pilot plant . do we want instead to fill the next crate entirely with amd ? let's make a decision on this in the near term, so that we can put down a definite date re next buildout
a111: Logged on 2019-02-09 19:36 trinque: reading the logs since I departed, seems like it'd be helpful to do another post (after a bunch of sig verifications) where I do a literate version of the script
asciilifeform: iirc BingoBoingo has performed a successful beta-cuntoo installation , for own needs. you may choose to delegate the task to him.
BingoBoingo: <diana_coman> that should be absolutely enough, I don't see any trouble with it; and disk was a separate issue irc? << I have some spinning disks in my surplus pile.
diana_coman: myeah; I'm not a fan of remote-install anything for that matter but anyway. ☟︎
asciilifeform: diana_coman: as i think is obvious, experimental ~os~ install , over remote wire, is a tricky and potentially painful biz .
asciilifeform: there is a qty of 1tb samsungs in stock .
diana_coman: that should be absolutely enough, I don't see any trouble with it; and disk was a separate issue irc?
BingoBoingo: diana_coman: Hanbot was also working off of a Cuntoo live image without any persistence. You may have better outcomes starting from an installed system software where changes you make persist.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i am not aware of hanbot lodging a complaint re ~the iron~ ( plz point to log if missed )
asciilifeform ate considerable qty of sturgeon caviar , as a boy , cuz in su was quite available. they pissed on the cartel, with enthusiasm , and if were alive today, would piss still, and not only on this one
asciilifeform: ... rather like the case of sturgeon caviar. turns out, sturgeon grows a++ in captivity. but nobody's in any hurry to drive its price to the physically-available min.
asciilifeform vaguely suspects that cocaine is a 'veblen good' , and that this accounts for above puzzler
asciilifeform: i still dun fully grasp how it is that no one managed to breed a coca that grows on other continents
BingoBoingo: The Paraguayo brick weed sets a price floor, gets distributed to much of the continent. No reason for the places that can grow coca to grow lower margin cash crop.
BingoBoingo: Mostly i suspect they go to bring a brick of weed back in their rent-a-car, but... rumors and innuendo
BingoBoingo: Well, the Uruguayos use it as a sort of Mexico. Cheaper more lawless place to vacation.
BingoBoingo: Paraguay is hot dry and humid. Desert areas and a big river.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: other curio in uy , there was a 'civilian' ru colony. but they did not have the cult. so result was -- assimilated, forgot lang, today ~indistinguishable from other local orcs
asciilifeform: afaik they even get by, somehow, without a 'pope'
BingoBoingo: There's a couple going on.
asciilifeform: there's famously a pre-1917 ru 'old believers' colony in uy, i think they bought this
BingoBoingo: 50-150k a hectare is "urban" or "resort" sorta land. The stuff being sold to get outta farming.
asciilifeform: ( 'mars' is not even the worst case. iirc there was an ancient thread where mircea_popescu described some scan where 'land for pennies', and on examination turned out to be in the andes, where even to anchor a solar panel is nontrivial )
BingoBoingo: And so on. These are as mircea_popescu pointed out a very organized people http://trilema.com/2014/colonia-uruguay/
BingoBoingo: Depends, sometimes there's plumbing. Frequently a reactor connection. The price trend generally offers a clue as to what the situation is in a giver department.
