diana_coman: I'll chew on
that some more (and maybe I won't want
to strangle hope all
that much anymore).
mircea_popescu: and let me say
that i really enjoy
the sort of problems i am having
these days.
mircea_popescu: then
the stupid cunts "became nonviolent" and it all went straight
to hell.)
mircea_popescu: (this being, contrary
to ulterior protestant misrepresentations,
the only meaning of
taxation in middle ages : "produce some normal heatlhy unsick unfucked in
the head humans!!! we're going
to france!!!"
mircea_popescu: hence my example with
the "booting" knife
that runs a .jar
to ask you via gui "which side should be sharp
this session"
mircea_popescu: with
the mental energy
thus freed,
they'd prolly burn
the shit down.
mircea_popescu: all of inca exists because of
the false decision slot "between" coke and pepsi, dominos and pizza hut etc.
the only way
to fix
the current us is forbid
this false choice, force
them
to receive randomly items in
the respective undiferentiable classes.
mircea_popescu: not because it'd be hard
to implement, but because it creates a "decision slot" in
the minds where
there needn't be one.

trinque: I'm a sick
troll in
the household.
mircea_popescu: it's literally a collage, i cut up
the "secret" court filings produced by "secret" services for its material.
mircea_popescu: was part and parcel of ye epic
http://trilema.com/2012/sorana-comedie-bufa-intr-un-act/ (the
title says "Sorana, funny comedy in one act". unique as far as i know among all literary productions for
the stage
to date,
this play is written ~entirely~ out of material illegally intercepted by romania's chapter of usg.blue, and doled out in court without any kind of supervision)
mircea_popescu: for historical lulz : /me actually
put the kaibosh on a romanian wanna-be news outlet back in
the day for exactly
this sorta misbehaviour.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-14 19:05:19 asciilifeform: 'Motherboard has obtained a copy of
the email
thread, but has censored
the names of its participants besides Stallman. ' << bonus lulz
mircea_popescu: then a minute later, loads again. and will be fine again for however long, an hour or a day, but
then again,
taskes a minute off.
diana_coman: so
then, if spammers come spamming, I'll have
to man
the walls or something, more fun
to be had.
mircea_popescu: i don't instantly see
the benefit of an alternative. some
things do not benefit from alternative, eg a knife which first has you "select which side
to be sharp" is a worse knife
that is sharp on one side.
diana_coman: I can see also why make it 9 only and
that's
that if
the model is either "everyone can speak" or "only peers can speak"
diana_coman: oh boy, "concerned parents" and
tzatzele la poarta what next
mircea_popescu: suppose in
ten years you're actually running uk's main college. #o will now be open
to all "concerned parents" ?
mircea_popescu: conceivably you might want it because your castle's so immense, you can't
take
the whole firehose.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: no, not at all; but why would I want *only knights*
to be able
to
talk
there?
mircea_popescu: in extremis yes you could promote a knight or
two in
that role, if you wish ; but if not, and you want
to implement
the
trilema style voice model instead : why do you want ratings other
than 9
to be voiced ?
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: even if/when I must introduce it because possibly some disgruntled good for nothings have nothing better
to do
than
to spam
mircea_popescu: or is
the idea
that you'd like
to have
the voice model more flexible, so when a castle owner is specified for a new castle, deedbot also
takes specification of voice
threshold ?
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: re logs.ossasepia.com/log/ossasepia/2019-09-11#1002089 - I still see
the point for *different*
thresholds in different places; ie 9 is peer everywhere but in #t it's only peers
that may speak while in #o it's everyone who didn't get
thrown out.
diana_coman: no idea really but iirc
there was a
thimbronion around here or such
lobbes: I managed
to pay for my first
two years (via
the much cheaper 'community college' option) with pure cash from my saving from working at
the grocery store.
The final
two years (at
the more expensive state school) are what killed me. And I mentally checked out around 6th grade, so my GPA was laughable (literally was in
the 2.3 range I
think); no scholarships for me.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-14 15:45:52 lobbes: hrm,
though I just
thought of another rub: my mom actually cosigned my student loans. Which means if I default
they will come after her for
the money.
Those damn octopus arms are everywhere
lobbes: Plus I still have
the various
TMSR infrastructure
that I pay for (my VPSen, my dedicated server), and prolly something else I'm forgetting. Still looking like
the best way
to cut
this knot is via
the remote work option (i.e. I'll need monthly income of some kind). But
the beauty seems
to be I can
take a massive pay cut from what I make now, since my cost of living should be much lower in South America.
lobbes: I'm probably
the only one who hasn't, and I'd like
to keep it
that way (and while *I* grok
that it is really
the state
that is
the enemy here, she wouldn't necessarily). I'd like
to let her die
thinking *someone* gives a shit about her.
ericbot: Logged on 2019-09-14 20:09:08 mircea_popescu: (you may
think she has home equity or w/e, but in practice see
the medicare
threads, it's on loan)
lobbes:
http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-09-14#1936262 << sure, but
the point is I gave my word back 2006
to *her*
that if she cosigned I wouldn't default. Maybe I'm foolish but I like
to keep my word. Plus, virtually everyone else in my family has backstabbed her / cheated her
to some degree,
to which she never became bitter about, but instead just put
them out of her life and kept on working
ericbot: Logged on 2019-09-14 07:30:39 mircea_popescu:
that scary moment when one notices
the
TWO most recent items in
trilema comments queue are
trackbacks from other people's blogs.
trinque: but don't
take me as presuming
to speak for anyone.
trinque: would've saved mircea_popescu years of
trilema if
the ideal state were "and
then I
think for all of you for
the rest of
time"
lobbes: ah okay.
this makes sense. let
the wot drive distinction between monkey-castle and actual-castle
trinque: I'm inclined
to let whomever register w/e channel with deedbot, set
their
threshold for plebvoice, and let
the wot work.
trinque: and
the whole point of social
topology
that isn't dot and flat line below, is
that "maybe >0!"
trinque: what do I care if you
talk
to
them. probably zero, maybe >0!
lobbes: hm, yeah I guess
this makes sense. Sort of a "cross
that bridge when come
to it"
type of deal
trinque: you have your relationships, whatever
they are, and you're peered into whomever else.
trinque: I dunno
that castlehood or w/e is
the "and now you can have a deedbot" line
lobbes: with
that,
time
to dig into mysql database slaving capabilities
lobbes: In any case, I'll just give it some
time.
lobbes: Of course I'm already regretting
that resignation
thinking I did
that with my classic 'jumpy reasoning'; I
think what I really needed was clarity, which comes from communication, which has been working pretty well so far.
lobbes is currently not sure if should apply for official castlehood, on grounds
that a) castle is currently deserted and b)
technically I resigned from
lordship about a month ago trinque: can
the lords and ladies let me know if
they're interested in such a
thing, and if so I'll get cracking.
trinque: on
the subj of multi-channel deedbot,
that already exists. I need
to
tweak
the wot/voicing code a bit
to support, but otherwise not so hard.
trinque: I've got
terbytes free down in uy
tho
trinque: it'd be nice
to be able
to
turn up continuity with historic gentoo
tree
trinque: incidentally slurpin down
that whole bbgentoo.ilb.ru
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: IIrc
the Home Despot rents MIG welders
trinque: I don't know if it would surprise anyone here, but
they do a better job!
trinque: and doing fine. just got in from my dentist's office in
the mexican hood.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-14 19:03:20 asciilifeform: meanwhile, in lulz BingoBoingo might appreciate, asciilifeform was clearing , i shit
thee not, jungle, w/ machete

ericbot: Logged on 2019-09-14 07:57:52 diana_coman: fwiw I always end up scratching my head at
this "mircea_popescu won't help" because I haven't seen more people
that are more helpful
than mircea_popescu ;
the only way
that "won't help" makes sense
to me is if it's fully qualified as in "won't help your stupidity"
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-14 14:52:11 lobbes:
http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-09-14#1936160 << verily. Furthermore,
the inescapable
truth is
that one day mircea_popescu will shuffle off
this mortal coil. Why anyone would not want
to eat as much of his brain while he is around is completely unfathomable
to me, especially since he is willingly offering it
to eat!
The Republic will one day need
to stand on its own feet and produce
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-14 07:33:25 ave1: So I'm working on genesis of gcc and
the second
test build is running. First failed, I expect some more failures before done.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-14 05:10:06 mircea_popescu: also, comparison with iliterate peasant / highwaty robber's bound
to break down at SOME fucking point.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-14 04:15:00 diana_coman: if you say it's not any and all
to
talk,
the q is : who
to
talk?
