mircea_popescu: (this in no way requires hotwalletisms, you can keep the wallets @home for this just as well - node's watcjhing specified addressen)
mircea_popescu: pizarro could get fancy, run a publicly-advertised dedicated node, dumpblocks or w/e to get the txen, push them into mp-wp 100% automatically.
mircea_popescu: anything that doesn't fail to match the numbers indeed suffices!
mircea_popescu: why can't you just use the normal upload process. give it a txt file and let it work.
mircea_popescu: anyway, nothing wrong with doing any way you're doing, pen, lisp, whjatever. but there's something massively wrong with doing it in such a way as to impedance mismatch you to the breaking point, wth. if pen works well then use pen, but IT THEN HAS TO WORK WELL. do not use if works ~poorly~ instead of well.
mircea_popescu: amusingly, since pizarro's website runs mp-wp, which is php, this can all be done in... an hour ?
mircea_popescu: don't ask the customer for things you don't have to. customer pays, that's enough.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: there's a difference! for one thing, i as well as anyone can tell the 2nd thing ENDS!!! it's not ongoing for fucking ever, who the fuck heard of this "planning with a halting problem" ?!
mircea_popescu: my plan looks like day 1 : look everywhere (no, that ~everywhere~ isn't a manner of speech) while taking breaks to ejaculate profanity and try and think wtf i did ; day 2 : hang all the servants maids etc in the dungeon and gets the hose again until i am satisfied by the account of each one as to how they've not lost my keys for me ; day 3 : get new keys, install webcams, gps trackers and etc."
mircea_popescu: and in the same vein : if i lose my fucking carkeys, my "prospective plan for carkey finding" doesn't read ANYTHING like "day 1 : look for carkeys ; day 2 : look for carkeys ; day 3 : look for carkeys ; day 4...".
☟︎ mircea_popescu: srsly, this obvious market leadership has to await today morning ?! why the fuck, srsly now, nobody here heard of crypto before ?
mircea_popescu: notice how in this brief span of ten minutes we've done MORE for pizarro than the above mentioned six months produced!
mircea_popescu: double-hash it, customer knows his private hash, knows the salt, can verify his line secretly and no more.
mircea_popescu: you're a good man, and i trust you, and i know as a matter of fact my trust's not misplaced. we absolutely have to either adjust you to the tasks you have or the tasks you have to you, however, because there's simply no way to maintain trustworthyness on the long haul while capacity-activity mismatch is ongoing.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: can you ~believe~ how much like something you'd read on tardstalk "investments" your workproduct ends up ?! and this in 2018 ? why, because you've been secretly saving it through a time capsule, insulated from review, all this time ?! god almighty, last thing i want is the yahoo peterl-ism of 2013 perpetuated a second past the end of that year.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: . on the short term you'll have to take some time off and think long and hard and in all seriousness about what you want from this life, because continuing on your present course can't possibly bring much beyond disaster.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: yes hanbot remembers that time fondly ; and certainly so do i. but as things stand presently the practical choices before you are either to make a major committment of both time and attention towards living up to the lofty position of a lord, and catch up on that proverbial "legacy hairball" ; or else to limit yourself to testing some code here and there as time permits and publish the occasional piece. this, on the long term
mircea_popescu: the "sad" news, from this perspective (though it is boldly and fundamentally the exact opposite of sad) is that no, there isn't any "return to the grand old days" on the table. ~emphatically~ not. bitcoin ain't going back to spending a summer at 2 dollars a coin ; and consequentlly you're not going back to being the mod6 of 2013 on ten hours a week and lukewarm committment.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: it seems to me inescapably the case that you have not been putting either enough time or enough thought into this, and continuing in like manner for year upon year. the inescapable result was accumulation, of exactly the wrong kind : every day you personally grew a little smaller than your image in the forum, and compensating for the difference drew, as any other credit, upon your capacities to service, until eventually the g
☟︎ mircea_popescu: mod6 after a night's meditation, I still don't see a direct solution for your problem.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: check me out, i wrote a whole blog article for irc ;/ anyway, here goeth :
mircea_popescu: to do nothing is one thing. to do things that then someone will have to come later and untangle... holy hell on wheels.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo "we have a legacy hairball to entangle" literally says "previous management worked for empire and against republic, created negative value we have to pour value into to bring back to 0".
mircea_popescu: mod6 the problem with "accounting things" is that they're a fundamental life skill ; i can scarcely imagine how you get through the days of your life without as much accounting as is here required. think that you're not asked to upload in head the many volumes of gaap arcana, but merely some very basic "this plus that is the other" sorta stuff, and the complaint sounds somewhat like gravedigger's disdain of readin', takes tim
mircea_popescu: given this articulation, i agree with asciilifeform , it's a wonder you can keep functioning / managed as long as you have.
mircea_popescu: mod6 the two prongs of the problem seem to be, principally that you have a lot less time available for this than ~most everyone else, by a factor of 2 or more ; and secondarily that elementary tasks that should take an hour or thereabouts take you multiples, by a factor of 3 or 5 or who knows.
mircea_popescu: is this the "accounting issue" then ? or was there more to the mystery ?
mircea_popescu: i seriously ate hours of your combined time because forgot to send a v ?
mircea_popescu: now about this missing payment... did i not pay something ?
mircea_popescu: mod6 it seems a necessary that you're overwhelmed, if your time budged to do TWO board jobs AND logs is about half what people use to do just the latter part.
mircea_popescu: god knows i sank hours into documentary wells for various edge discussions (bout half of which end up published, mostly because i'm fascist with "in other news" style segues ; but many do not, as it's "yup, was right" or such)
mircea_popescu: what's anyone's experience btw ? cca how long does it take to ~keep current~ with logs on a weekly basis ?
mircea_popescu: how you manage to cram a week's worth of logs in an hour and a half for instance is anyone's guess, god knows my girls don't manage -- it eats in excess of 10 hours weekly, and noobs such as the bimbo are well over the 25 hour mark week in week out.
mircea_popescu: because it'd seem to me your week consists by this logic of 12 to 13 hours of, making the timetable (15%), reading logs (13%), and it's not clear to me what (75%).
mircea_popescu: at ; 8. 2 hours preparing and publishing some data to give base to future rescue op.
mircea_popescu: so to summarize : 1. one hour (!?) wrangling with auctionbot on the 4th (the result still wrong) ; 2. 2 hours handling three conflated processes (why do you keep notes as an intermediate step ?) on the 5th ; 3. 1 hour reading logs on the 6th ; 4. half hour reading logs on the 7th ; 5. 1.3 h mostly brainstorming on the 8th ? ; 6. half hour doing... i don't know what on the 9th ; 7. 4 (four ?!) hours doing i still don't know wh
mircea_popescu was mostly looking for republican hours, rather than everything, but nothing wrong with item as is.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in their own eyes englisher is supremely literate.
mircea_popescu: the squigglies, like garnish, once you're in consolidation phase.
mircea_popescu: im not even so sure hieroglyphs per se are either arequirement or even useful.
mircea_popescu: otherwise you're rather in the position of the fellow who's dedicated his life to studying catholic architecture but never visited spain.
mircea_popescu: considering that the average-without-you was pretty sorry indeed.
mircea_popescu: contrary to your "i have no marketable skills" claims, it turns out you were quite successful at nontrivial task.
mircea_popescu: yes but oddly he can never seem to source anything locally.
mircea_popescu: at that level of abstraction, leaking the empire's artefacts selectively into the frankistans is god's work.
mircea_popescu: nor diana nor can i be arsed to dig through mp's packed museum
mircea_popescu: (speaking of -- tmsr.net will be sane endian, not historical-endian, also)
mircea_popescu: i dunno i like alt-endian systems enough to support them\
mircea_popescu: in order to support diff endianism i gotta pay the cost of processing twice.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform my problem with "trying" is that you're stuck trying your serpent keys on stuff.
mircea_popescu: "what i have been doing, nov 4th - november 11th" ; "what i intend to be doing, nov 11th - nov 18th".
mircea_popescu: gotta find what exactly is fucking you over before it actually does fuck you over.
mircea_popescu: gotta get into the nitty gritty of this, because i gotta tell you, i publish, on time and for years, 3x or more of the report count you have, and it's a few hours' worth if that.
mircea_popescu: do me a favour and publish a week's timetable retrospective and the coming week's prospective on your blog ?
mircea_popescu: having your hands on the levers of power means that, "whether meant as such or not", what you do is what you do.
mircea_popescu: i said hijach ~the foundation~ to crash ~my~ standards process.
mircea_popescu: in a most remote, theoretical principle it'd be something like "well, he's either a) lazy or else b) committed to not getting out of a confort zone he delineated silently and that's that or c) he's overwhelmed". now which of these is it ?
mircea_popescu: and in general, i can't fathom as we stand right now whence your troubles come.
mircea_popescu: it's infuriating to see movements a la "oh, ima hijack this foundation thingee to crash your standards process", whether meant as that or not.
mircea_popescu: mod6 i'll tell you, it is fucking painful to have to argue n times over the "here's auction system fucking use it". alf in his worse days, years ago, presented similar challenges. makes me feel like i'm fucking pushing the grain into the chicken, why the fuck would i, let it fucking starve.
mircea_popescu: gotta learn new things, and be damn good at them. gotta go new places. gotta master new things. it's entirely what it is. all it is.
