asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-21#1882424 << i'ma bet you found the d00d through asciilifeform's links sect, where he has a well-deserved place for useful elisp material. ( does mircea_popescu have something specifically against 'orgmode' , or simply in the habit of spitting on anything he dun use personally ? ) ☝︎☟︎

mircea_popescu: and there's no sarcasm nor any subtext at all there. i'm not gonna tell you what to do with your women in general, but by the time what you're doing is driven by "what will wife's daddy think", you fucked up.
mircea_popescu: depends whose, it is not for me to say, nor am i interested in saying.
asciilifeform: what can mother do ? 'i have hole in overcoat, mother fix?' 'sure'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i am entirely not proposing any others ~have their mothers do~ anything specific, this or that. i am saying though, and plainly, that the sort of people whose mothers ~don't do what they tell them to~ это уже наполовину тетка.
a111: Logged on 2018-12-20 14:08 mircea_popescu: it fucking isn't. i'm not kidding around : "you genuinely believe this is possible, people being both so fucking stupid as to opt out of the republic, and so fucking smart as to have anything, ~anything whatsoever~ to say ? how is this to work ?" and http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-20#1882295 and http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-20#1882301
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-20#1882358 << i can see the pov. otoh i dunno if it'd be great for snr if errybody's mothers tuned in ☝︎
mircea_popescu: if you ever wondered about the deluge of crossdressers -- this is exactly it, i'm sure. in the immortal words of Weston Amsbury Liggett, "to beat everyone, including you, to the punch".
asciilifeform: i recall
mircea_popescu: i don't even.
asciilifeform: the 1s i actually look at , are on shelves, but i only got x metres of wall...
asciilifeform nostalgiates, 'i had that chem text! and these coupla other.. and even that encyclopaedia.. here it lies, sad, in a crate..'
mircea_popescu: which, incidentally, is why the sort of familiarity-breeds-all-i-need morons "don't get math". boys, especially engineertards, may think her legs carefully exposed so as to "resolve" the "hot but not hot enough for the girlgroup to say slut" "dilemma" pass ; but math never fucking passes, it's always a case of either the way or the highway.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in alf-interest items, https://i.ibb.co/0jZ1tPM/chicks-for-nerds-cunts-that-matter.jpg
a111: Logged on 2018-12-20 00:39 mircea_popescu: it takes stronger distorsion fields than i'm willing to run, the entertaining of this particular flavour of "but nevertheless"
mircea_popescu: it fucking isn't. i'm not kidding around : "you genuinely believe this is possible, people being both so fucking stupid as to opt out of the republic, and so fucking smart as to have anything, ~anything whatsoever~ to say ? how is this to work ?" and http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-20#1882295 and http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-20#1882301 ☝︎☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: i've not spoken to my mother since 2015. we were always very close, and i always liked her, enough so that three decades together didn't produce any cause of rupture. yet somehow, somewhere along the way she got the idea she has the option of venue, and it's up to her whether to be here or not.
mircea_popescu: i suppose there's one element i really should add to yesterday's proceedings. !!seen won't see it, but there's always http://btcbase.org/log/2015-07-12#1198904 ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-12-19 17:18 trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-19#1881688 << and here I thought a large part of the republic was to reveal one's inner idjit. worked for trinque.
asciilifeform: if mircea_popescu were wolverine, and i were mircea_popescu , there'd be, lol, same thread...
asciilifeform: the one where 'well if ~you~ were nasreddin and ~i~ were the king, then it'd be you standing in front of me' etc
mircea_popescu: it'd be a lot more relatable if you managed these things more like i do and less like a rabid pubescent wolverine.
asciilifeform: and i long ago gave up to expect any help from anybody in the matter. thrd where asciilifeform annoyed, is specifically re 'promised, promised, and 0 deliver', which i think is a situation mircea_popescu can relate to in own head
asciilifeform: i dun have any quibble with mircea_popescu's unpersuadedness.
mircea_popescu: in short : you (correctly) insist because it hasn't been proven not to be ; and i am not particularly taken because it doesn't seem to have been. these are different measures.
asciilifeform: ( i actually have an example of a decayed 1, elsewhere )
mircea_popescu: so then, thing can sit as it sits, i don't expect to persuade you (and i see the merit in "pre-republic, engineers===morons". i just don't see why this should be perpetuated, hence original "bag of lulz" comment.
asciilifeform: if i build ~case~, and then piano falls on me, that'll be enuff .
asciilifeform: i'm under 0 illusion that i have a case built that's mircea_popescu-grade convincing.
mircea_popescu: i think i have reason to suspect ~the people who made it~ are ~not more notable~ than say amir taaki.
asciilifeform: i like stories
asciilifeform: i aint presumptious enuff to suppose that i can re-create 'all of it + some + hookers & poker' without dig of orig.
asciilifeform: and i appreciate that mircea_popescu knows how to approach subj abstractly.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i dun demand that the deaf understand, somehow, music. observe that mircea_popescu dun care for bolix, and i equally duncare for bondage&discipline, yet we still find what to constructively say to one another on occasion.
mircea_popescu: it takes stronger distorsion fields than i'm willing to run, the entertaining of this particular flavour of "but nevertheless" ☟︎
mircea_popescu: today, "i'm talking to this guy, who is not smart enough to make a key upon reading the logs, but is smart enough to have interesting things ". traditionally-bolix, "these six morons that weren't apt to survive nevertheless made important tech". generally throughout, "i dunno how to resolve the tension between stupid and horny", from http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-18#1881534 to http://btcbase.org/log/2014-07-26#770352 and 9k ☝︎☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-12-19 22:49 phf: asciilifeform: fwiw i didn't ignore your point. i don't trust you with this stuff, and not because you're not trustworthy, but because you refuse to be discreet when asked to be. and again since this will be misconstrued, i'm not saying keep things secret, i was specifically asking you to _quitely_ use the products of my work.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-19#1882279 << this is 1 reason why the discussion is moar than about a piece of pot shard from archaeo-dig . does phf trust asciilifeform's oath as a lord ? if not, really he oughta update rating of asciilifeform ! and if yes, then i dun see why to dangle 'next week, next week' in front of asciilifeform for yr+ and never show any dirt, large, small. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-12-19 22:28 phf: mircea_popescu: i've given a more nuanced answer over the logs. i've said that stuff from last year is junk, i'm not sure about stuff from this year, because i haven't inspected it yet. short of asciilifeform's periodic jabs, there was simply no reason to dedicate more time to it, considering that from a useful work perspective this is seen as a hobby, and i already have a backlog of things i actually need to be working on.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-19#1882282 << as i understand, on reread of thrd, there are no fewer than ~3~ bags of lulz : 1 is last yr's, which phf described as entirely useless in the end, and i'ma believe. another is this yr's, which hasn't been combed yet. and the third is the 'putative' of http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-19#1882266 . ☝︎☝︎
phf: asciilifeform: fwiw i didn't ignore your point. i don't trust you with this stuff, and not because you're not trustworthy, but because you refuse to be discreet when asked to be. and again since this will be misconstrued, i'm not saying keep things secret, i was specifically asking you to _quitely_ use the products of my work. ☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the 'girls' are 80-90s d00ds, fwiw. but i think i see what mircea_popescu meant
asciilifeform: i was told 11 yrs ago by dks that 'people are working on releasing the goods, it will take politics'. fast fwd 11y. 0 releases.
phf: i made that point clear also, i believe he will spoil my hunt. he explicitly told me he will! as far as love for quarry, i assume that this particular log can potentially reach the quarry in question, and i suspect his reaction is not going to be to join the republic.
phf: mircea_popescu: i've given a more nuanced answer over the logs. i've said that stuff from last year is junk, i'm not sure about stuff from this year, because i haven't inspected it yet. short of asciilifeform's periodic jabs, there was simply no reason to dedicate more time to it, considering that from a useful work perspective this is seen as a hobby, and i already have a backlog of things i actually need to be working on. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i don't even remember ;/
mircea_popescu: phf you want to say "if i can't discriminate then why am i lord", then you turn around and it's "either i have something or i don't have something." well, discriminate, which is it ?
mircea_popescu: phf i never heard of scavenger taking the loving tack to the quarry. usually scavenger sounds like alf sounds.
phf: mircea_popescu: well, i don't think this is quite like chasing women, i think of it more as a scavenger hunt.
asciilifeform: btw i'm mildly astonished that nobody, not even mircea_popescu , put in argument 'what makes you, dirty monkey, think that you can re-create radio'
mircea_popescu: phf this whole "i care about the relationship for the stuff it can produce" is very like what proust'd said.
asciilifeform: but i'ma also not rehash thread, i suspect mircea_popescu is immune to argument re subj
mircea_popescu: not so far from monkeys, either, consider how the thing went, 1998-2018. but i think the thread's not worth rehashing.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so i have some air stashed away, i'll live.
mircea_popescu: yeah but i mean, capable when producing what etcetera. i never pursued a woman in my life, nor do i intend to ever start ; i hold no grudges for those who do, but you do understand ~an entire half of the species~ survived to the present day by ~exploting~ this behaviour of yours, yes ? ☟︎
phf: mircea_popescu: i care about the relationship for the stuff it can produce. i think i'm stuck in circular here. either i have nothing, and then the relationship have no value, but then this conversation is pointless. or else i have something, and the relationship is indeed capable of producing stuff.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-14 20:10 asciilifeform: apeloyee: the other thing to consider, is that the preserved bolix material has ~unspeakably~ rich ( and quite high snr ) collection of artifacts, perhaps 1000 asciilifeform-years of work. take the ns vlsi compiler alone. i have the binaries, but not the src. and ~someone~ will have to make a sane (i.e. fully lispified and zero-externals) vlsitron.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in the interest of saving space, i'ma link to e.g. http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-14#1738171 , http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-14#1738149 , http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-23#1631545 . ☝︎☝︎☝︎
mircea_popescu: and moreover, from the other side, "fiat bolix, pereat mundus, ruat caelum" ? "i am ~so dedicated~ to reconstructing this 80s atari, i am willing to spend however long living with and among fucktarded orc populations, at the risk of my brain rotting like boas'" ? did you actually think this through and that's how it came out ?
a111: Logged on 2018-12-19 21:32 phf: that's not a promise that i made, and this is a misrepresentation of my position. unfortunately i can't find the relevant pgpgram, but i believe i made it clear that i don't want this publically discussed, because obviously if any of the interested parties were to read this conversation, their reaction would be "waitaminute". i never the less offered to share what i have, but i never got a confirmation that you can just keep quite on
a111: Logged on 2018-12-19 21:00 asciilifeform: and especially , deliberately unfriendly to whoever profits from the seekrederpery. in fact, i will know when my reversing has succeeded when a bolix collector somewhere at last eats his pistol because his $100k stash of irons is now worth == 8bit nintendo.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu, phf i'ma leave thread alone for today and give folx time to cool .
trinque: asciilifeform: I believe it, as this thread reads like mutually talking straight past.
asciilifeform: phf: i dun make tall claim of success for mine. but it ~published something~
phf: i got it, there's the honest proper asciilifeform way which is all success stories and high ratings. and then there's the usg, cuck way of actually talking to people.
asciilifeform: for the benefit of uninvested l0gz readers, i will summarize what i know. there are 2 basic schools of bolixology.
phf: actually i'm not sure i said it in the logs, so my bad. i want a fully operational bolix fpga, or in the future other type of replica, complete with genera sources and other such bells and whistles
phf: asciilifeform: i don't believe me repeating myself on this point will make a difference, i've already said it, but you've already made your conclusions.
asciilifeform: cuz i think i've made mine quite clear
phf: yes, my whole goal is to have a bunch of useless bolix junk, that i can mallory on top till i die.
asciilifeform: the 'i will lose from having this in public record' is quite concerning.
asciilifeform: i cannot picture how to draw any other conclusion from what's been said so far
phf: asciilifeform: you're making selective conclusions from what i'm saying, i don't see any point in further communicating my point.
phf: yes, and it can continue this way, until i either have non-0, or it all amounts to nothing. how's that a problem? it's my fucking work.
asciilifeform: and really, 'i lose from having this in public record' ?!
phf: from this conversation, where's i potentially do. fucking three years of relationship building.
phf: asciilifeform: there was already _one_ conversation, i made my _conclusions_. your adventage is that you can basically just rant in the open, make insulting fucking statements in "general direction" of those bolix whisperers. where's i lose by having this in public record. i told you as much _at the very beginning_. but you clearly shit on my efforts, i mean you have been saying as much in public for a year, so you don't lose anything
asciilifeform: if phf's thought is 'i can't trust this maniac not to lie and then post whole thing on ftp, killing kat the radio gurl' i'd like to hear this said in the open.
asciilifeform: the 1 item i specifically do not want, is another unbounded interval of maybes.
asciilifeform: but if ~does~ trust, then i want to see the logical next step, if a then b.
asciilifeform: but i'd specifically like to know if phf ~doesnt~ trust, and i wont cry if phf rates accordingly
phf: and more important how can i trust you into the process if your basic approach on the subject is shoot from the hip?
asciilifeform: phf: elaborate plz re how asciilifeform's effort 'compromises what i'm trying to do'
phf: this personal, on top of the fact that it low key compromises what i'm trying to do?
phf: look i told you about the stuff basically as soon as i came back _from a photoshoot_, gigs of photos, need to be sorted through. i communicated as much. the whisperer stuff started way before i had a chance to do anything about it. i mean what the fuck. it's like "i'm the greatest bolix liberator, and everyone else working towards it is an obscurantist and a cunt, unless they blog their shit right now". how am i not supposed to take
phf: where's the reality as i see it, is that you were offered some stuff, and your reaction was i'm my own king i do as i want
phf: the subject. perhaps i should've made it clear that _knowledge gained this way is yours to keep_. in response i got constant, year long abuse directed _as i believe it was_ at least partially my way about whisperes and conspiracies.
phf: that's not a promise that i made, and this is a misrepresentation of my position. unfortunately i can't find the relevant pgpgram, but i believe i made it clear that i don't want this publically discussed, because obviously if any of the interested parties were to read this conversation, their reaction would be "waitaminute". i never the less offered to share what i have, but i never got a confirmation that you can just keep quite on ☟︎
asciilifeform: so i cannot make promise 'you can read but Never Do Anything with these!'
mircea_popescu: could for the same money have "hey phf-- i know i said so and so in the past, but truth be told now i got these chips and i'd like to get some work done, so how about..."
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu's criticism is entirely troo, i got nuffin
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu i'll be entirely happy if i learn that i dun actually disagree with phf .
a111: Logged on 2018-12-19 20:04 asciilifeform: nao, if phf thinks that asciilifeform cracking the case ~at all~ will 'unmask' phf's informant, this is a problem. chiefly for phf's informant, because i ~will~ rape bolix, whether anyone helps or not
asciilifeform: i'm not at all averse to handling the matter in such a way that it preserves phf's source. keeping in mind the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-19#1881979 caveat. ☝︎
asciilifeform: i dunno !
