mircea_popescu: "The recognition that rewards can have counter-productive effects is based on
a variety of studies," << it is strictly based on
a felonious substitution. it is exactly like saying "sex can be unpleasant for women" on the basis of the sex we practice being very violent rape.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> trinque: actually 'lisps' happen because the alternative would be
a civilization that doesn't leak. and we don't have one of those to kick around << amusingly enough, re the earlier dog discussion : dog cunt seals, for this reason.
pete_dushenski: alrighty, time to go run off all this ice cream i've been tragically eating.
a la prochaine !
trinque: asciilifeform: had
a thought earlier driving around re: your observation that there are lisps in many fields:
a high water mark reached, then from which retreated.
trinque: I wouldn't be
a common lisp programmer by now if I hadn't aired
a bunch of idiotic thoughts of my own on programming in public.
pete_dushenski: "that's not what i said you idjit !" "oh, my bad, let me try again !" "that's
a bit better !"
pete_dushenski: one who enjoys making
a public hash of things, just to let them breathe, then correct
mircea_popescu: set in
a faux soviet russia very much like present day us
mircea_popescu: Comrade Joke would be an excellent idea for
a webcomic
mircea_popescu: italians only woke up to the model
a half millenium later, but basically doing the same.
pete_dushenski: cazalla: just that it's
a function of 'inherently bad' incentive structures
mircea_popescu: it's going to simply leech money off
a different husband
cazalla: i really don't think he does that in order to scoop up
a few additional shares though
trinque: pete_dushenski: part of the answer to the question of making the republic's bot services fault tolerant is getting them within
a damn wotnet
assbot: Logged on 27-06-2015 21:21:25; mircea_popescu: yes, but the deliberate design of incentive structures is
a bad idea.
williamdunne: Massive decline or outright collapse, followed by the rise of
a Nazi party or similar?
mircea_popescu: but very related.
a spasm is always at the root of both
mircea_popescu: (btw - never ask virgin to clamp down on you. it's
a little discussed fact that vast majority of penis captivus cases come out of something lik that)
mircea_popescu: for that matter, people also need self-esteem. i'm not about to "provide" it for them, in vacu-sealed packages. and they need to hunt, which does not reduce to "i'ma let
a half dozen naked girlies loose in their room see what happens". that's how rich people destroy their children.
mircea_popescu: yes, but the deliberate design of incentive structures is
a bad idea.
☟︎ pete_dushenski: sometimes financial, sometimes honourary, sometimes
a million other things in
a million other ways
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: the ibmpc buildroot sounds like
a spec for the 'trilema jobs board'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know this isn't
a random process. what makes you think it's for him ?
mircea_popescu:
a loosely maintained list of posts, and
a loosely maintained list of "don't shoot that way dummy" makes sense, but s'about all.
mircea_popescu: i think most everyone's using github or w/e - but it wouldn't maybe be such
a bad idea to start putting deeds out with the code bundles. with instructions. "run this so and so"
mircea_popescu: other than that, published code is
a good idea, sure. but also - anything is its maker property, and the people in question makin things can best decide what to do with it.
mircea_popescu: if it made sense to not be thus, you couldn't be, ~COULD NOT BE~
a guerilla if you wanted to
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, there is great benefit to being antipattern countercultural when being
a guerilla.
mircea_popescu: once
a bot or w/e goes off, we see what we do. before, we don't give
a shit.
mircea_popescu: there is
a "no undies - i wanna be able to fondle your cunt" rule, but s'about all.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's
a wonder i even managed to make the conference at all. i haven't had
a watch or aty allcared about time in
a decade.
mircea_popescu: this without going into why the wallet.dat, after being plaintext for
a coupla years, was only half-ass encryupted.
mircea_popescu: something to the tune of 30ish connections, which seems reasonable for
a day old peer.
mircea_popescu: i am looking at 10!!111 load on
a 8 cpu, 32 gb raid ssd machine.
shinohai: Hmmm. I think I will give that
a shot
shinohai: @ asciilifeform I made
a phuctored command for my bot so I can always see the latest keys
jurov: when i got
a window fixed some months ago, asked them to add external blinds
assbot: Logged on 06-04-2014 14:59:26; mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ok. considering the what/how debate as accepted foundation : at any time there's
a number of turkeys and
a number of engineers.
mats: hacker dorms is
a common thing
mod6: when I get
a chance, i'll see if there is anything to be done about it. (if anyone has any suggestions, let me know)
mod6: asciilifeform: hi, no unfortunately I end up doing
a bunch of side-scrolling too.
mats: it helps that i have
a window open for this channel most of the day
