diana_coman: mircea_popescu: I'll have
to look into it properly and come back
diana_coman: to have marked
them as pattern matchers,
that was
the crux of it.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, his idea might be good, actually. what's
the uk requirements for starting a private college ?
BingoBoingo: Here Incubator signals roughly
the same
thing cowork does, but in an older building, and without any ongoing operations anchoring
the arrangement
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: myeah; I'd rather not do it; my q is whether anyone sees any reason it would be worth it and apparently
the answer is no (phew, I'm glad it is no, even)
mircea_popescu: so
they can grumble barely audibly until
they built up enough mass
to "fight unfairity" or whatever dumb shit ?
mircea_popescu: why
the fuck do we want a buncha patternmatchers anyway ?
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, i dunno, sounds very stupidappeasing
to me personally. but... your show.
BingoBoingo: I don't see what's wrong with calling it a college and graduating it
to University once 1+ graduates have
the credentials
to propose new faculties
to
the college
diana_coman: but onth since I'm filtering
the sea, I want some place where all
the sea goes
through
BingoBoingo: Most of
the other folks I met here
that share a common language with me pattern match Buenos Aires=Bigger=Better
diana_coman: in any case, my puzzle
there is whether it's worth making even such concession at all; I'm normally not inclined and I'd say it's on
them if
they are dumb enough
to not go in because it doesn't say incubator;
diana_coman: BingoBoingo: lolz; it's
the "familiar" word for students
though, basically pattern-matches what
they expect,
to have
them cross
the
threshold (so
that in all probability I have
to kick 99% out after
that, but such is filtering by def)
BingoBoingo: God no, I haven't seen a startup incubator
that doesn't smell like
the sump in my HS locker room.
diana_coman: I have been seriously pondering if I need for YoungHands
to actually get a physical space
to call "incubator" /similar since apparently
that's
the magic word
that wards off evil or something.
mircea_popescu: no fuckin gincubator has even REMOTELY
the infrastructure.
mircea_popescu: there's 0 reason we even need
to give a shit about hunchenbacktoot / rest of heathen world. people pay
thousands/month
to lease space in "seattle
tech incubator", it's ~free here.
mircea_popescu: and, of course, can meter / charge for usage! a bitcent at a
time, deedbot won't mind.
mircea_popescu: if you actually, inconceivably but actually, start pruning, can just as well do it as "will keep last n searches
that weren
mircea_popescu: not
to mention -- we actually have redundancy archival process, yes ? if link ends up in chan, link also ends up archived, yes ?
snsabot: mircea_popescu:
time since my last reconnect : 21d 17h 30m
mircea_popescu: don't
think in
terms "trillion files will lay eggs". will not --
that's why it's in chan. why not
take
the opportunity
to support
the republic, specifically ?
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-06 21:47:39 asciilifeform:
trinque: and
then you gotta delete
these ? what if you want
the
resulting link to remain clickable ?
mircea_popescu: not intentionally an' not deliberately and not awaredly nor am i out for heads. but
the situation is indeed like
the case where someone just discovered
the impact of filth on medicine, and everyone (by which we mean
the
top whatever %) understood what
the
theory is, and for
their merits gets now
to struggle with
expellas issues forever.
mircea_popescu: that wasn't an ~idle~,
throwaway comment, btw. "don't let me keep you from your destiny" means exactly what it says :
that
there's a way we know
things do actually work, and
then
there's a history of
the republic
to date -- it consists of a lulzy/depressing but in any case unrelenting march of people
trying
to do anything-but-that, everywhich way and all
the
time.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-08-14 02:15:03 mp_en_viaje: in general, fwis, it's ~always much better
to do
the "use apache for
threading and fs-as-cache" model
than anything else. but
then again i'm not
the hacker, don't let me keep you from your destiny.
mircea_popescu: yes, from inside
the madness it "seems" like "oh but what's
the difference".
there's a fucking difference.
mircea_popescu: the idea's only one of
these is correct,
the other's madness.
mircea_popescu: the url params in particular are most confounding, because
the concept as commonly encountered in
the wilderness inhabited by wildmen actually fuses
two VERY distinct and entirely distinguishable
things.

trinque:
the IRC-for-input and www-for-output split was contemplated in an old
thread. I still like it
mircea_popescu: nobody's giving away halfmillions for "knowing how
to install linux from scratch" is
the sad, if you wish, but irrespectively perdurant fact of
the matter.
mircea_popescu: good
thing we
talk of flaks,
that's important. comparatively, i can't argue, WAY yhe fuck more important. hurr.
mircea_popescu: she's been in here, available, 90% of
the
time wasted during
the intervening year. anyone had anything
to ask, about easily
the most interesting
thing
that happened ~on a personal level~, at least since bb actually got
the fuck out / mocky
tiptoed
the sea ?
BingoBoingo studying
the formal presentation on productivity
mircea_popescu: well wut da fuck! it works IF you work it, is
teh expression. what else is
there ?
mircea_popescu: and even with
the fucking example!
that chick, she was
the vp for hr with satan's own blue chip in charge of making airport satanism! YOU SAW
THIS HAPPEN, much like
linkedin saw
this happen.
BingoBoingo: Fuck you, Gales does cash advance loans on Gringo debit in UY, between Gales and any given Chinese restaurant in BA... how many non-Governmental Ladrones can
there be
BingoBoingo told a simple folk
this Wednesday "If all you
take you Argentina is your plasic card you're going
to get your asshole resized."
Today, audible incoming "Why are
the Argentine ATMs charging me 10 USD
to
take out pesos"...
mircea_popescu: "oh, but mp, we didn't know". OF COURSE you fucking didn't know. what you DID know, however,
today as in 2017 as in 2015 as for a while, is
that
the zone's
the zone. what
the fuck's gonna happen in
there ?
mircea_popescu: now, who
the fuck made
that half million in
these
two years, "pulling revenue" ?
mircea_popescu: the matter SIMPLY CAN NOT BE IGNORED : if back in 2017, ie
the very month
that article came out, joe bloe
took out
the 20-50k in debt he could and liquidated
the 20-50k in assets
that he could, converting it
to bitcoin at a monthly average $1k, he'd be looking now at either 400k
to 1mn in cold hard cash, or else something like 1-1.5mn worth of liquidated assets, if he sold during
the peak. (and not AT
the peak, for 1.76mn
ossabot: Logged on 2019-09-06 22:16:07 asciilifeform: i'm not about
to ask folx
to learn it
tho ( asciilifeform in fact quite fond of forth, and used extensively. but i also recognize
that
to most people utterly 'martian' )
mircea_popescu: in any case,
the argument is utterly fucking broken. "get out ; now" "oh but mp, can i stay longer ? it's
totally worth it, make so much $$$" "huh, i guess..." "but mp... make no $$$, whay!" "because you're fucked in
the head. goto 1."
BingoBoingo: And
thusly Uruguay signs road belt plans with China while Argentina sucks all
the liver spotted NY cocks
ossabot: Logged on 2019-09-06 13:41:15 asciilifeform: hey diana_coman , didja ever manually
test
the reconnector? i -- did; but from lobbes's bot i have dark suspicion
that it doesn't 100% work !!
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-06 21:37:26
trinque: bv wishes not
to be raised, and I shan't press
the issue further.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, any reason bot reads a
treminating 0001 char on
that line ?
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-06 21:29:22 asciilifeform: in fact bothered
to see whether it sets off
the geigers. almost surprised
that it did not.
mircea_popescu: the infuriating part (well, mostly
to
the girls, but anyway) is just how fucking superificial
the cloning is.

trinque: eh "this morning's experiments" don't appear
to be on a blog or otherwise documented
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-06 21:23:35
trinque: I was by no means a lisp expert when I wrote
the item, so in re: languages
thread, I don't
think it should reflect on CL
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-06 21:22:10
trinque: probably
the situation was
that most
times server doesn't ping if client has already.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-06 15:30:33 bvt: i did not switch
to
the newer keccak code, as
this would not solve underlying issue: vdiff would still crash with large files, just
the limit would be 8x larger
mircea_popescu: anyway, biosacks only need names if
they're about
to log here. both hanbot an' nicoleci are on, and so far what you lot wanna use
them for is rather punching bags, from experience, so i don't see
the urgency in naming anyone else.
mircea_popescu: this is ~completely~ spurious.
the workload has ~entirely and absolutely nothing~
to do with anything. people ~will~ engage just as gladly in "impossible
tasks" as in "easy
tasks",
the driving consideration is P, not "what quantity of W is '''required'''
to '''see results'''" or anything like
that.
mircea_popescu: the
traditional view, driven by high medieval practice, is
to regard work~load~ as
the dissuasive factor, some guy who might
think himself a shoemaker may re-consider if confronted with a pile of shoe leather waiting
to be shoed stretching
twelve acres and reaching into
the skies.
mircea_popescu: the ~reason~ is
that not since
the same spot have such Ps been seen.
mircea_popescu: as
to A, let it be clearly stated for reviweable record, and let anyone who manages
to
take his head
out of his own ass verify or challenge
this plain statement as best he can :
mircea_popescu: this,
then, is also why A.
the republic is so mingbogglingly successful ; and also B. why so limited in scope.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-06 04:34:33 spyked: magemagick (what I believe mp-wp uses currently?) or gimp batch processer; regardless of what is
to be used,
the
tools *are already
there*, it's
the user's problem how or what he uses. I for one don't wanna use web interface for photo processing, nor did I ever intend
to add
this
to
thetarpit, nor would I stop anyone from adding
them if
they wish
mircea_popescu: there's further implications ; but,
to fit
the point back
to narrow interest : saying
the tools are already there is not even stupid, it's entirely besides
the point.
the only effectual question is, "has
the lowest possible P in
theory been actually realised in practice".
mircea_popescu: historical phenomenology suddenly starts making a lot more sense -- because yes, history is, was and will forever fucking remain
the story of great men ; and what great men do with
their lives and consequently
the world
they own and everyone else just inhabits... well,
that's a story of P an
mircea_popescu: it is, obviously, entirely false
to imagine
that pP is
the only factor in P ; mP probably started overwhelming it in importance with
the modern age, driving
the important point here :
this
theory ~can actually be used as a
timeline-substitute~, replace
time with P-at-that-time.
snsabot: Logged on 2016-11-07 11:53:31 mircea_popescu: recall
the "where are
the rembrandts
then" argument ?
the us fails
to produce a philosopher worth
the mention every other decade ; athens managed
that much on 1/1000th
the population.
mircea_popescu: this
theory, for isntance, explains why
there's no college outside of say
that-one-place-in-mass, or
that-one-place between frisco and san jose :
the P in, say, chicago is >e.
mircea_popescu: that is part one. part
two, is
that for further reductions of P, W scales superlinearily. in my practice
to date, P=e/2 drives W = q^5 approx, like air fucking friction.
