mircea_popescu: conversation, at least among well spoken & intelligent people and in the context of organizing work, very well resembles well written programs for well built machines for the exactly obvious reason : that's what the machine aims to be, a well spoken intelligent person.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, that sounds pretty great, actually. what's wrong with asia after all, they have tiny weird looking chicks but i guess one can always rubberband a coupla together and fuck in between the bellies. vaseline conquers all!
mircea_popescu: trinque, not the end of the world, we see how it goes.
mircea_popescu: apparently english split, "teen" vs "teenage" is how you code for real vs fantasy world.
mircea_popescu: and in other anglo lulz : searches for "teen whores" return naught but, well, porn. as you'd expect. "~teenage~ whores" searches, however, return nothing but retards ranting about how their kids shouldn't suck the cock or whatever usgistani neoprotestant nonsense.
mircea_popescu: suppose the next blogpost is "here's the 500 dcs i talked to"
mircea_popescu: nfi what you're doing fucking with this, seeing how you're supposed to LOOK FOR A JOB
mircea_popescu: huh, i suppose i'll have to open that up, iirc the last one was dpb
mircea_popescu: jfw, maybe there's mutual parts, what the dell do i know
mircea_popescu: actually, i guess ima take the bitchez out for a walk. bbl.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i really can't complain, the weather here's a very solid late march, though it be almost december. sunny warm and pretty.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, lmao, the mythical being of gijbig would say that, "now just put it all in a pot and bring me a big spoon!"
mircea_popescu: if i have to look at one more "mamaliga cu brinza" nominally, except the brinza is genuine grana padano and the trims are foie gras de canard, beluga roe, anchovies an' pickled green olives my liver's just gonna fall the fuck over.
mircea_popescu: i get it, the internet's best-in-the-world, whatever. i've done all the film watching an' vidya i can stomach.
mircea_popescu: time fucking flies, dude, what the fuck can i say. it's been a month! how long am i gonna sit in this warehouse.
mircea_popescu: yo dorion , you wanna head the tmsr-os project for us ?
mircea_popescu: so i guess... let's try promoting from the ranks, what could it possibly hurt.
mircea_popescu: seems to me today november the 25th we've not moved inch one away from
nov 12th, though it's been two weeks. i don't expect anything substantially different will occur in the remaining two, so i'll just conclude that for whatever reason trinque's not the man for this job.
mircea_popescu: what's left is the one remainder in the hands of this yet-
another ex-republic (ex, through its failure, conscious even if disavowed, an' in any case vehehehery carefully constructed out of vehehehehery carefully curated [
http://trilema.com/2 mircea_popescu: i shall be leaving for istanbul / isfahan / lebanon / cairo / tipoli / tunis etc (unless i decide to go luxor and so on from there) in another week or two. i wanted, like a sane fucking person, to have things arranged and in working order by then, and indeed -- removing logging from the inept if stupid hands of "the community" looks like it'll be done, as per above. removing coding from the inept if stupid hands of the
mircea_popescu: now in sadder news : the problem i have here is that i am traveling. i very carefully introduced stationary windows to be able to look after affairs, but we're
just about four weeks into the current one, which is thereby drawing to a close.
mircea_popescu: kinda what ourdemocracy is all about, neh ? pretend large gathered crowds are enough
mircea_popescu: could maybe find some remaindered white helmets / elbow leather gloves
mircea_popescu: or like the naggum quotes and so on. but yeah, as far as contributions go, early 2010s period "bitcoin community" is exactly the collection of spurious & idle retards it stayed throughout.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, there's the occasional gem in there, you know, "oh, five bucks is way too much for a coin' "selling 200 btc" etc
mircea_popescu: annoying as fuck for a coupla days, but other than that... yeah.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, just a lengthy pile of fiddling and whatnot, the way these format conversions usually go.
mircea_popescu: in other news, it took me 18 reloads to hit on a log article in the random trilema rotation. considering there's ~1500 of the damn things, puts its immensity well in perspective.
mircea_popescu: as in, "do you have your reservations ?" "o boy howdy do i! i have reservations about everything!!!" "right this way please, you'll fit right in!"
mircea_popescu: i guess this is a point, not so much walled gardens as padded reservations.
mircea_popescu: hanbot, a dog will agree with on the basis of how much he likes you, not on the basis of what you're saying.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in haremalia, "remind me when you take your muffins out of the oven, i've made brandied persimmons yesterday"
mircea_popescu: !!rate apeloyee -1 more of dat speshul manalone sauce.
mircea_popescu: !!rate asciilifeform 2 if what you need done happens to be what he feels like doing that day he'll probably make you an excellent piece. if not, there's no recourse, and you can't establish this until after the fact, he's utterly canine in his use of language.

mircea_popescu: lobbes,
arrived here, it's really high time we compared notes. i have that bash thing that takes out the relevant bits in my log format and forms proper lines out of them ; it also chunks up the file by date correctly. now, how do you do the sql etc ? you have all this already so i don't have to re-do it i expect ?
mircea_popescu: in other wtf, awk does not have a native date increment ; people do insane shit like awk -F"\",\"" '{cmd="date -d \"$(date -d \""$0"\")+10days\" \"+%Y-%m-%d %T\"";cmd | getline datum; close(cmd); print $0 ",\""datum"\""}' test.csv > test-increment-10days.csv
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, hanbot the problem with your approach is actionability, i expect.
mircea_popescu: !!v 69BD32F99C0C859DDAB983CD1DE08766C27D54F8913FE2812167BC05B20AD5CB
mircea_popescu: i dunno where all this spitting's happening ; i also dunno why you're so committed to poor quality communication as an ongoing thing, but at this point whatevers. be back when you're back and all that.
mircea_popescu: moreover, that the end result will be the "discovery" (which of course "nobody could have predicted", as ethical failure ever goes) of the... need for... an os, at the "core" of all these apps. basically we'd just be moving the goalposts, after spending however long making "an os, you mean an app" we'd discover all we get for our trouble is the need to rename our os an app and write an actual os, ie, back at square one
mircea_popescu: it seems to me that "special purpose os" is a contorted circumlocution for "an app". it futher seems to me that the proposition "hey, you know how to do the thing we don't know how to do ? let's do what we know how to do instead and call it good!" is fundamentally weak, ethically (ie, that it's not driven by anything but convenience) ; and that the "make your os for a purpose" thing is undistinguishable from it.
mircea_popescu: it seems to me that the only possible definition of "an os" as counterdistinct from "an app" is : a ~general purpose~ collection of software tooling which ~agnostically~ as to ulterior apps exposes fundamental, inherent functionality and limitation (mostly driven by the very hardware) in an universal, principled way.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in important policy discussions : i've been thinking about
bvt's theory, and while i can't say i'm done thinking nor much hope to ever be, here's a major problem i encounter :
mircea_popescu: nfi why or what difference it makes, but the reptile mind perceives it very threateningly.
