asciilifeform: lobbes: as i understand, with that type of logger you'd have to regen all of the pages that include or follow the gap, in order to close a filled gap.
lobbes: hmm this makes me rethink my current design re: mp-wp bot as well. As it stands, there is no way to "re-sync" since it just spits the lines into a blog post.
asciilifeform: currently this is a gnarly manually-cranked process, as ./eat_dump.py deliberately is made so ~not~ to import any line that conflicts with existing index
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: yours was specific to dulap ( where phuctor db was being walked just as mircea_popescu happened to load ) , recall that other boxen were unaffected
asciilifeform: incidentally, if anyone can think of a cleaner way to parse the 2 types of link ( [][] and naked htt.. ) than what's given in asciilifeform's reader.py , i'd like to hear about it. ( presently there's a quite ugly 2-step transform, as apparently it is impossible to regexp-transmute a grammar w/ 2+ patterns in 1 step )
asciilifeform: aking the proposition of free trade futile. Whether or not Drepper is aware of the political implications of the of his technical decision is irrelevant to the fact of their existance. Nevertheless, there is a belief by technologists “educated” at ITT and the public equivilants that software can exist outside of politics. As a result the US has a legal system that runs on Word, a financial system that runs on Excel, and a voting
mircea_popescu: moreover, functional technology (as epitomized by Bitcoin) is definitionally, necessarily and unavoidably anti-socialist. so much so that reliably one can use the reverse heuristic : if something doesn't shit on the needy, doesn't it make it harder for the stupid and more expensive for the poor, that something is most likely shit, not technology
asciilifeform: seems to have grasped various points as he lurked.
asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-25#1937874 << seems like the termites they sent, work approx as well as spies ever did
mircea_popescu: went as far as it could, but as you might notice, dude's blog's as abandoned as this whole 2000s lulz.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-21 23:53:50 trinque: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-20#1937433 << should be very easy, i.e. wrapped this weekend or next. to confirm, same rules as deedbot : nonzero rating -> able to self-voice?
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: is there some eta/requirement on/for the castle-licensing thing? on my part I'm fine with it as stated.
mircea_popescu: it's philosophically fraught, because as per the spec a rating of 0 should convey that the rater deems he can answer NO questions about the ratee. in which case... why is it a rating.
billymg: http://billymg.com/2019/09/additional-tests-for-mp-wp-now-according-to-spec/comment-page-1/#comment-49 << mircea_popescu: i now see what you mean about the pingbacks supporting the extra selection parameters but i'm still not sure what is meant by "trashing the whole trilema trackback pile as extant, and having them re-done in the new manner"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: same as the brits did, neh. no one picked up an' walked way with india
asciilifeform: the 'clock speed race' tempted vendors into cutting corners (i.e. 'new cpu 2x as hot but we'll use same room-temp-rated parts around it because Who Will Notice!11' )
asciilifeform: dunno, i have such things as sgi 'octane', dec 'alpha', from late '90s, that still run w/ orig. components
mircea_popescu: mod6, the machine hosting that keyset magically died earlier -- just as i was about to read your thing, imagine that. seems the mobo went, though tbh it's a little weird, will have it cut up later.
lobbes: also, the code is currently designed for a single chan atm (which would be #trilema, of course). However, would you want multi-chan capability as part of the delivered final product?
lobbes: mircea_popescu: pls to let me know if you'd like the formatting tweaked. Both in terms of the textual output of log lines as well as the url format, and title format.
billymg: in casual conversations with my boss it seemed like remote work might be an option, and although i don't think of that as a long term goal it could be useful in fueling the initial settling
billymg: and as a small update on my plan -- i'm in the process of securing a place in CR but got cold feet re: turning off the fiat spigot
BingoBoingo: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-22#1937556 << The derp's flaffing suggests he's one of the formerly redpill/PUA types doing the now common loser turned Neo-Puritain moral crusader thing. For some reason he's fixated on mircea_popescu as a Jew of some sort.
mircea_popescu: also attempted a sibiu/brasov etc, but it failed over brasov, romania's 2nd largest and most importantest town, actually being an utter rural shithole, far below say highland, indiana.
lobbes: diana_coman: it was productive, at least. Learned things, sharpened skills. Know the logotron code more intimately as well as the mp-wp mysql "guts"
lobbes: In any case, not hairy due to alf's original code (as it is well organized and his abundant commentary makes it a pleasure to work with, actually), but due to learning curve of interfacing with mysql and/or mpwp's backend
mircea_popescu: i would propose that the true and proper as well as only possible epitaph for romania is exactly this "shithole had exactly one billionaire, and no fucking idea who he was".
mircea_popescu: he's gonna get very far in life pretending to equality with his betters ; as the facts perceptible well confirm. /sarcasm
mircea_popescu: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-22#1937512 << it's also not specifically verbotten to threaten the republic. god knows i threaten my own slavegirls, dedicated as you couldn't believe and truly and honestly with nothing else in their hearth but my... well, not my aggrandization per se nor my loving extension... i'd say just that earnest & motherly "i wish this man to get perecisely as great as he possibly cou
mircea_popescu: but i had been growing hostile ~on the quiet~, mostly because afore today there were no good ways to explain the problem. but now it's here, and i daresay it's as fucking limpid as sunlight, so there we go, mazel tov
mircea_popescu: but the latter comes with VERY FIRM OBLIGATIONS -- one has to DO MARKETING FOR THE ITEM. someone who on one hand doesn't relase code of item we use, therefore ~DECLARING~, just as good as if he had deeded, that he intends to commercialize item, and then failing to do any work towards that, is in fact quite dishonorable.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-21 23:59:56 trinque: in that vein, it occurs to me that this holding back of items such as ^ is dishonorable in that it's effectively a signal that one intends to drag whichever items with him into the grave/bottle/sea

mircea_popescu: self-evidently the greatest folly of our times, "you, muh daughter, should figure out what it is you want" hurr durr. nothing, of course, like the celebrated stupidities/received ideas of history ; nor as ridiculous nor as pervasive nor as inexplicable because easily dispelled nor in any way remarkable. a mediocre delusion at best.

asciilifeform: lobbes: as in, measuring, cutting, iron.
lobbes: *as in
lobbes: ironworks as is soldering, or scavenging for parts?
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-20 16:40:46 BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Not an army so much as a clergy
feedbot: http://qntra.net/2019/09/minneapolis-police-decline-to-classify-racially-motivated-beating-of-white-man-by-black-crowd-as-a-hate-crime-because-whitey-was-selected-for-attack-due-to-his-incapacitation-rather-than-his-race/ << Qntra -- Minneapolis Police Decline To Classify Racially Motivated Beating Of White Man By Black Crowd As A Hate Crime Because Whitey Was Selected For Attack Due To His Incapacitation Rather Than His Race
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Not an army so much as a clergy
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: As far as I can tell Harvard, MIT, WUStl, U Chicago, Stanford, et al are functionally little more than Cathedrals of Pantsuitism where the self loathing go to get their benedictions and such
asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-20#1937444 << BingoBoingo : when asciilifeform showed pet photo of that chix, was asked 'why the fuck didntcha bring her in as pet!' lol
diana_coman: hanbot: you have broken trilema links on your blog as they still use polimedia.us eg those in http://thewhet.net/2012/11/shall-be-delivered/
lobbes: likewise, diana_coman I followed same procedures as asciilifeform for dropping lines < 1000000 and fed your dump to my logger. Ate fine and no issues that I can see via spot checks.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It's a sort of "Whitey has, we have less but want more" movement which Maduro inherited as a sort of clumsy Stalin.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-08-29 03:37:54 mircea_popescu: dun have to be solved today, we'll live for quite a while as it stands.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-19 05:47:32 mircea_popescu: trying to meta-smart, pseudothinking in your dumb head "if i were a literary character and these things happened to me, what'd it mean about the script" will not only fail to deliver any useful predictions (in the sense that it'll work EXACTLY as well as a RNG-choice, to perfectly fuck you over), but it will actually prevent you from deriving any benefits from the circumstance you're NOT a fucking literary char
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: it's still those darned lines from *before the bot*, arrrgh; and there is no such thing as "irssi format", no matter how I look at it.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-12 06:24:42 mircea_popescu: (and since we're doing history : anyone know of a study describing anne hutchinson's self-evident influence upon the concept of a "witch" in the colonies, and retelling the "witch trials" as her necessary epiphenomenal epigonic downstream ?)
mircea_popescu: THIS, motherfucker, THIS is why wise men, such as myself, tell MORON wanna-be idiots, such as calvin, schmalvin, etceteravin to ne ultra crepidam.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-16 05:36:16 mircea_popescu: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-15#1936612 << you bought it ~as an inflation play~ ?! holy hell man, what the fuck's wrong with schooling there. inflation is the enemy of old men, what the fuck does a 20yo care, holy shit it's all backwards.

mircea_popescu: while it's true that in principle such a thing as the greek tragedy damnation could exist in reality (or whatever, its shitty hollywood renditions), nevertheless ~this is a point for the gods alone~. it is not a symbol representable in the mind of man ; all attempts to do so are they themselves doomed to failure.
mircea_popescu: only works here as per express design
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-18 15:28:58 BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Hey, WAPO ran a piece this week celebrating "How much funnier we have become." The cancerous faggot held up 70's socialist propaganda "Sesame Street" as his straw puppets.
asciilifeform: ( maybe was in era1 l0gz. the d00d ran a shitcoin of some description. and asciilifeform is certain that he found out about it from trilema or l0gz, as he dun read shitcoinism straight from atmosphere )
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Hey, WAPO ran a piece this week celebrating "How much funnier we have become." The cancerous faggot held up 70's socialist propaganda "Sesame Street" as his straw puppets.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in "whisperers" historical idiocy : woman is known as le Bel Ange Nu, supposedly because went about ~naked. no fucking paintings survive documenting the theory. idiots.
mircea_popescu: the capacity to do this exists in humans necessarily ; like any capacity it is also capable of dysfunction as part and parcel of being capable of function.
snsabot: Logged on 2017-04-07 14:24:31 mircea_popescu: no, let's also de-equivocate think. there's two kinds of think, one's a forge/reflow/examination of trees resulting in analytical consumption of inputs with actionable outputs guaranteed ; the other is a neurotic behaviour perhaps best described as spinning, whereby specific emotional triggers / detriggers are visited in succession. the prussian model was never concerned with the former in any sense, but merely
asciilifeform sees ideal of university education as moar of a decockroaching rather than continuation of kindergarten 'learn through repetition'
diana_coman: the core of it as I see it (and matching btw the breast + gender difference) is that they are not yet able to act independently (in this case: independent learning , hence yes, if you just send them to read, it won't do much)
mircea_popescu: children are (often infuriatingly, generally disavowedly) quite as capable as adults to disentangle emotional cues.
mircea_popescu: and "undergraduate" as the inner bounds of "adult" or w/e it is the traditional university approach to work.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, i used the junior high as the outer bounds of "baby"
mircea_popescu: afaik the "woman and man are different, for the former bone exists as calcium warehouse, for the latter bone exists as muscle leverage" is not even controversial.
mircea_popescu: but these seem rather theoretical constructs than practical considerations. as a factual matter, there's signifciant interplay between the child and the breast.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: so , model of tlp, as sort of st. francis preaching to the birds ?
mircea_popescu: let's put i this way : universally and without exception the most abject of all humans are children. this is what "retard" addresses : a state of abject misery that ~IS EXCUSED~ in children because nature imposes ; but ONLY IN CHILDREN YOUNG ENOUGH. as thy age -- no longer excused.
mircea_popescu: AS A NUN
mircea_popescu: amusingly, same place as http://blog.lobbesblog.com/2019/08/charting-the-charlotte-bdsm-scene-part-one-capex/ ?
mircea_popescu: the question is WHY, not in their terms but in mine, as the onl ypermisible terms. not "why does the moron decide to misrepresent his taks as impossible", but "why did he give up"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as you said earlier, prolly similar to how phf threw in towel. i.e. 'i racked up 9 figures of stupidity bill, no way to pay'
mircea_popescu: and yes, "to give up" as the reality is disguised in-universe, in the works of fiction populating stupid heads, as "can't"
mircea_popescu: but, as you say : pike has one design flaw. IT GOTTA BE USED
asciilifeform: sure as fuck worx, 1934-1953 worked a+++. but then the 'soft' folx came, and forgot how.
mircea_popescu: that it does, and that is as it should be.
mircea_popescu: being idle imbecile fuckwits and regrettably still around as well they shouldnt', the italians deeply resented this situation, where the austrians administered them well as slaves, whereas they themselves couldn't, on their own strength, as much as organize a cup of coffee
mircea_popescu: here's the story, as retold by yours truly :
BingoBoingo: As DNC high elder Gabbard declared Clinton's brand too toxic to try rigging the game around. Was shunned. Then TMSR broke DNC couple months later.
feedbot: http://qntra.net/2019/09/usg-and-israel-moving-towards-mutual-defense-treaty-as-hawks-continue-pushing-to-bomb-iran/ << Qntra -- USG And Israel Moving Towards "Mutual Defense" Treaty As Hawks Continue Pushing To Bomb Iran
mircea_popescu: the flow of history doth in fact inform and ground the view, however. "what happened to phf ?!" is not so important about the one tard ; but rather, instructive as to the failure mode of a sort of mind.
mircea_popescu: same thing with being in the pantsuit, cry yourserlf to sleep as you will each night, the perception of mp grinning's still always there
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-17 13:55:10 asciilifeform: ( why nao cement -- i have nfi. it aint as if anyffin was ever likely to rise outta that grave. )
mircea_popescu: looking at the matter from an in-universe fiction perspective, how the fuck's the collection of nobodies gonna enact identity ? they can't get behind any of themselves, they're all scum without exception as paradigmatic criteria.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, i can't conceive how the pantsuit will manage to get a candidate. for one thing, trump did in fact end the dnc, as discussed in the logs.
BingoBoingo: As the boomers used to say "Don't trust anyone over 30" is how they keep the purges rolling
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-17 13:48:51 asciilifeform: this being said -- will be interesting to see which 'bob beck' is crowned as 'new rms'.
mircea_popescu: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-17#1936902 << none. there's, as BingoBoingo well points out, nothing left to crown over.
BingoBoingo: I don't see Putin's shift in US-relations as coming too late. US was very committed to blowing its Cold War winnings in Iraq. WTF was Russia to do other than work on the S-400 anti-"Shock and Awe" system and let the US burn treasure on everything else.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-17 13:33:41 asciilifeform: for so long as there's a gaggle of idjits who see him having 'auctoritas', his formaldehyde-pickled hide is worth sumthing.
asciilifeform: $process of course did not start with andropov. but with the derps who poisoned stalin, who was , near as i can tell, gettin' ready to purge the 'party elite' an' replace it w/ the young, vigorous folx who did loyal wetwork for him earlier.
asciilifeform: ( why nao cement -- i have nfi. it aint as if anyffin was ever likely to rise outta that grave. )
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Mandarin allowed honoring Mao-think as a sort of A/B test, and allowed the revision to be popularly embraced. Something about Mandarin lets the Chinese be cohesive on just about anything. It's weird, alien, and seems rather far removed from what is in the Anglo language toolbox.
asciilifeform: this being said -- will be interesting to see which 'bob beck' is crowned as 'new rms'.
asciilifeform: exactly as happened in sovok, the leninists had 0 lasting dynastic succession, ~100% garbagecollected by stalin & co.
BingoBoingo: Until it's their turns to get sacrificed as the cultural revolution marches on.
