mircea_popescu: sure
they can. you can have
the whole
thing shipped
there in one go.
mircea_popescu: what
the fuck mess of reference will
this be in
the future ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform explaining
the
thought process in detail will prolly be useful.
mod6: Any
thoughts on what
this 1 year cost would be?
mod6: you were looking for a
trilema article?
hanbot: why did
the anarchist bookstore go out of business? wh
BingoBoingo: If I am headed out of here I would at least like
the chance
to more overtly spread machismo and racismo on
the way out.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-11 16:34 asciilifeform is not asleep, but in fact still calculating whether he has enuff fuel
to
take,
theoretically, BingoBoingo's rocket
to orbit, or only
to make larger crater on
the ground
mircea_popescu: they figure it lends weight
to
their otherwise weightless speech.
mircea_popescu: eh,
took my foot.
this is
the stock in
trade of
the pantsuit rhetorics, "i am crying" "it
took me X" etc.
shinohai: The best part is it
took her 2 whole weeks
to formulate a reply
BingoBoingo: WTF, She opened with... A negotiation on
term!
mircea_popescu: upon reflection, it does seem canadians have rather more issues
than is average for esltards.
diana_coman: obv,
there should also be in principle a speed-up because of cutting off
the "now word-> bits" part but
that's sort of bonus
the way I see it
diana_coman: so when it's bits it's bits only, when it's octets
there's no bits
diana_coman: what I don't really see
the point for is
the mixing bit + octet basically
diana_coman: but obviously, matching
the set of choices
that we fix
diana_coman: well,
the bit-level implementation can and will remain
mircea_popescu: i kinda liked
the fiction
that we have a bit-level something.
diana_coman: going with 1.1, 2.1 and 3.2 also
takes out entirely from keccak
the bit-to-value and value-to-bit conversions ; input is a stream of octets, output is a stream of octets and keccak itself works at word level anyway
a111: Logged on 2018-02-08 17:47 diana_coman: mircea_popescu, well, if input+output are considered at octet level,
there is a case
to say
that reading out of
the state is also done at octet level; I'll mull
this over a bit longer re speed as such (for
the word-level implementation because
the bit-level is just as slow either way)
a111: Logged on 2018-02-08 17:01 mircea_popescu: diana_coman seems
to me on
the first pass
the winning combo is 1.1 / 2.1 / 3.1 ;
the phf objection
to bit meaning precludes anything else it seems
to me ; with
the exception
that won't bit-extraction (3.1) be particularly slow ?
BingoBoingo: I'll get some lunch while I wait
to see what
the aspiring next worry allocator's bid is
to get me
to stay in Montevideo.
mircea_popescu: capitalism is nothing if not
the piecemeal management of worry into manageable pieces.
BingoBoingo: I have a lot
to learn before
trusting myself much with
the self direction is what
this past week has been beating into me.
BingoBoingo: It is why I am inclined for alf
to solicit pete_dushenski or another more experienced manager as either a consultant or partner if he is interested in
taking over.
BingoBoingo: That management need matches with
the learnings of
the past week, which... I retrospect I can see in my entire
time here.
mircea_popescu: the reason i'm cutting you out is because we have very poor fit, i'm a "provide general guidance and hangings" sort of manager and you evidently need a mommy,
to check whether you packed your lunch and
to ask if you need
to pee every so often. should you find one you can certainly
thrive, but you've not found her in me is all.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the exact same holds re your overhead
there. you have an office and so on
that costs 1/10 or less of what it'd cost had a fiatola scampany carried it on its own books ; and
the matter continues -- if we get a semi fulla 2u chassis in, we will have a pile chassis worth 2x what we paid for
them due
to
the barriers
the ineptitude of orcs place in our favour.
mircea_popescu: the world is anywhere near. let's keep
things in perspective, depressed or not.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo what your lack of experience isn't informing you is
that you have a very significant advantage. your ~7k per annum cost compares very VERY favorable
to what empire pays
to hire a walmart drone (25k or so base + 20k or so in overload).
the walmart drone costs 6x what you do, and i daresay
they do not do 1/6th of what you do. just because you came out short of lordship in
the field does not now mean
the baseline of
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i don't imagine
there's other bids ; but if
there are feel free
to put a
time limit on your bid and we see. i certainly see no problem with
the matter being disposed by nightfall.
mircea_popescu: either of
these under
the firm condition
that if at a later point bb has
to fly out, it won't come
to me.
mircea_popescu: alternatively, i have no problem
taking say 1.5 worth of absolutely senior convertible equity in your continuant venture, however you call it.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: the economic value of
the item as it stands would be about .80 ; i'd
take
that in cash
today.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so he has like 20 bitcents in cash, plus whatever's left of
the start of month 2k fiats + about 6k of credit with providers (pro-rata for what's left of
two months).
BingoBoingo: So if anyone really wants my monkeyland mess,
there is some
time
to
think about it.
BingoBoingo: So, if anyone wants
to
take on an expensive, high risk corpse of a venture at almost certain substantial loss in BTC value... I'll be here at least a few days, probably a week, maybe even
the end of
the month before heading back
to
the land of petrocheese.
BingoBoingo: And further mind a brief investigation of
the local labor market yielded:
http://archive.is/Hp01G#selection-3125.0-3125.286 "Una buena empresa donde
trabajar si uno quiere desarrollarse, ya que siempre hay nuevas oportunidades. Se aprende una forma de
trabajo completamente diferente a la que uno está acostumbrado en Uruguay. La gente que
tiene uno a su lado es en el 99 % increíble. Es lo que mas se destaca."
BingoBoingo: And any potential saviors looking for a vanity project ought
to mind
that likely
the best
thing for my health and reputation is going
to be returning
to familiar AA meetings and
the humble, anonymous life working in a hardware store.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu is appears
to be increasingly
tired of propping up on his own.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-10 14:58 mircea_popescu: more generally : i do not perceive any sort of future for
the republic without an isp.
BingoBoingo:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-10#1783157 << On
this point,
taking a lot more explicit direction... perhaps from an alf pete_dushenski partnership, where my role becomes more hired hand
than self directed center of
the brand. I mention pete_dushenski because of his lack of
toxic US passport and apparent management experience. I have my doubts alf alone is sufficient
to right
this ship, but if pete_dushenki wants
try saving
the republic
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2018-02-10 14:48 mircea_popescu: i did
try
throughout, up
to and including yesterday,
to somehow compensate for
the various issues, but eventually
the
time comes for
the observation
that
the situation you created for yourself
there is not actually
tenable. spend your remaining cash on your plane
ticket out, we're putting an end here
to
this well meaning but ultimately ineffectual effort.
mircea_popescu: ima have
to merge
these now. why's nobody said anything ;/
trinque: pete_dushenski: all set, must've been
tired eyeballs indeed.
phf: it was pretty quite until i started installing gnat, but
then it kept on spinning. i'm not going
to investigate right now
phf: i can probably put
that machine on ssh, but it's been sitting in a closet and wildly spinning
the fans, so i wonder if
there's something i need
to
tweak in openbsd
to keep it from doing
that..
shinohai: pete_dushenski: At least goes
to show smarter
than
the Harvard idjuts mining Doge
that
time.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, going
to go
to see
the local blackface Carnival parade
tonight. Hopefully I get better at
the night
time photography
thing.
BingoBoingo: At any sort of density, even with 125 Watt processors
that is a lot of hardware
to risk (in
terms of RAM and heat sensitive SSDs)
mircea_popescu: (saneland here
technically is
taiwan or somesuch, i expect, but anyway)
mircea_popescu: then in 20 years important worms can hurr durr about how you "stole" your fortune (from
the "less advantaged" who "had fewer oppportunities") because, ohohohobiously, "all capital is
theft".
mircea_popescu: ow it's half what
they
thought it costs, neh, not
to mention nobody else has it. free monopoly granted you
through stupidity.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-10 15:18 asciilifeform: iirc idea was , when originally proposed by mircea_popescu , for it
to be +ev in ~year
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-10#1783178 << for
the sake of it being said, nominally all difficulties are naught moar
than more proffit opportunities. if you get organized
to import all
the shit
the dc MUST have but did not in fact have, you have yet another revenue stream ready. pay $150 per chassis in saneland, plus $30 or so in shipping, sell
them
the dozen for 3300 (+ "iva") -- which hey, is a GREAT fucking deal seeing h
☝︎ mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo so go sleep,
there's little you can do
this saturday anyway. we see
tomorro.
BingoBoingo: As fucking disappointing as
the locals are, I still prefer being off
the reservation. If asciilifeform can promise
the fuel
to continue Hostel + Desk + $20 daily per diem
to not starve... BingoBoingo is going
to
take
time and
think himself... After blogging
the other pics from
the yesterday walk.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I am not opposed
to
taking alfdebt in favor of mircea_popescu debt minding
that
the mircea_popescu debt comes first unless alf makes other arrangements with mircea_popescu. And also
that a substantial part of
the +EV involves BingoBoingo does
things alf will find very disgusting
to a few boxes in order
to sell shared hosting.
Think of how alf directed venture with PCengines 8
to
the 1U as opposed
to VPS for small
mircea_popescu: yes yes. do what i
told you, i don't say
these
things out of boredom.
then we'll see.
mircea_popescu: you certainly don't have
to buy him from me in any case o.O
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
That isn't anything
to sell. You would be financing BingoBoingo's increasingly uncertain adventure. Or coming down here personally meeting BingoBoingo and seeing if Latecho will
transfer
the contract
to you before
the end of February.
mircea_popescu: yes, but
that was an idea, and
the idea lives equally well everywhere. you don't have
to implement it on
this particular stump in preference of any other.
mircea_popescu: otherwise what
the hell are you buying, "the rights" ? come feb 25th or so
the item is worth ~0.
mircea_popescu: well carcasses have
to be bought on
the spot,
they rot.
