mircea_popescu: but rather, from what
i understand, is taking finishing touches re reproducible builds, consisting principally of hunting for "Where does it piss in date or w/e ruining my sigs"

i do not know how to 'guarantee perfection'. all
i know how to do is to bake maximally 'fits in head' and bank that the folx here will find mistake if it turns out that
i made one.

i.e. if the lib package is generic, any sub-packages must also be instantiated as generics )

i had every intention to avoid ; and we'll be looking at integrating cuntoo on the server side later on. there's some db work in the hopper also, but that's even further on the maturity vine.

i don't have binary diffing even in prototype form, if you could adaize your needleman-wunsch
i could add it to vtools, the way
i did with diana_coman's keccak

i said -- yet immature).
mircea_popescu: this about concludes the state of affairs ;
i'd like nothing more than corrections, disputations &c by they involved.
mircea_popescu: so, phf : how about you start clearly communicating yourself, beginning with a complete, correct and true to life adnotation of said discussion in your own hand, because this "ima go meditate on things until everyone involved forgot what
i was meditating on" isn't a workable approach to intellectual life.

i have not the faintest what even came of the long avoided but eventually unavoidable discussion.

☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: but really, it serves no one to let me suspect.
i should know.
mircea_popescu: ave1 is,
i suspect, silently working on gnating things -- which is fine and valuable except for the silently part. there's this tendency of lone wolf scientist to not properly report failures, out of an imaginary saving of time and resources this permits. it must be said that NOTHING could be further from the truth, nothing at all -- there's more to be gained from a properly reported failure to find than out of ten shiny succ
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: spyked is evidently trying, hence feedbot, but evidently having trouble reconciling saeculum, which
i'm going to let stand as such on the grounds that he's new -- even though experience shows that as a dubious idea [for all the eg one could possibly need witness how asciilifeform 's still in the swamp, so many years later].
☟︎ mircea_popescu:
i have no idea what ben_vulpes is doing these days, if anything (other than maintaining his logotron, whatever that takes).
i would like to hear.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron seems lost in a bucolic paradise slash midwestern parochial nightmare of his own choosing. nothing wrong with this either, and unless
i hear any better that will be the conclusion.
mircea_popescu: other than this, mod6 is taking time off, since mid-november. nothing wrong with this, but
i'd like to see some conclusions at some point.
mircea_popescu: finally, asciilifeform is working on rsa-based ssl-ism replacement (notwithstanding he ~seems to be~ working on any and all wank on the "side" during spare time he doesn't have and all that), which we want so we can finally move bitcoin off sheer cretinity and into cuntoo (and which is principally why we want sane db also, but as
i said -- yet immature).
☟︎ mircea_popescu: other than maintaining the deedbot infrastructure, trinque is working on cuntoo, which is a rather large piece and it taking a [difficult to predict] while is not by itself the end of the world ; but
i'd like to see some roadmapping, tentative and subject to change as it may be, lest the effort degenerates.
mircea_popescu: hanbot is working on the mp-wp tree, and manages as she long has a rather largeish wetworks
i'm not going to get into the details of.
mircea_popescu: so, she'll be doing client work with her own two hands, something
i had every intention to avoid ; and we'll be looking at integrating cuntoo on the server side later on. there's some db work in the hopper also, but that's even further on the maturity vine.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: yet -- it is not my business ; so
i'm just going to count it as such, "working on pizarro" without further inquiry (and with the firm expectation that someone IS doing all that).
diana_coman: fwiw
I can't say
I saw a surprise so far in any of the april announcements; at most more of a difference of degree at times (
i.e. the expected direction/action but to a larger/smaller degree)
mircea_popescu: so : as far as
i know, bingoBoingo is working on qntra and on pizarro. he's doing a very fine job with the former ;
i'm nonplussed with recently discovering just how broken the latter's mp-wp offering actually was ; moreover it seems to me from a distance pizarro's still financially and customer-wise entirely dependent, ie as close to failure as you can possibly get without spelling it out.

i have a strong bias against proggies which try to be 'smart'
mircea_popescu: well,
i got other firepits to attend to, but what a great logmorning this has been!
mircea_popescu: did
i mention
i like your treasure trove finds a lot more these days ?
mircea_popescu: lol. eh,
i got some of those kitten scratcher things, can drill microholes on the cheap.
mircea_popescu:
i'm totally like one of those old war veterans upon hearing of new weapon
mircea_popescu: drill and polish,
i'd say, rather than etch. smoother holes this way\
mircea_popescu: only works on specified x-ray,
i expect ? not exactly "lens" in the broad sense.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform can
i has link to the story in question for completeness btw ?
mircea_popescu:
i guess one doesn't strictly speaking need it for trophycase/tchotchkecase/whatever, give the slavegirls something to do, dust it biweekly. however books get infected.
mircea_popescu: fucking "localized keyboards". that's what
i fucking need in the 90s, "let's make computers useful and accessible to the bureaucracy!" "imagine mp, vast fields of fat minnesota cows derping on the computer all day long!"
mircea_popescu: what,
i ask you, WHAT is a worse stain than having spent a minute on the needs of the poor ? they're fucking poor for a reason! step on their faces, there's rich people that you could be helping instead.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-03 19:24 stratum: Right now, for the billions,
I think it is probably better than nothing, just like easily popped household locks.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-04 13:21 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: all the race horses are dead. and we race , if you will, while dragging the carcasses around. so
i prefer to go with the smallest when possible.

a111: Logged on 2019-01-04 01:15 asciilifeform: it aint that much good without the iron, but
i would like the thing publicly gettable, given as
i also baked a 'scsi2sd' config that eats the thing
mircea_popescu: when realised that
i do not like the "community" enough to pump 1k/mo into it or anything.
