nacci: but in answer
to your question his head is rammed far up
the ass of
the state
nacci: seems
that would be irrelevant in a meritocracy?
nacci: i am
the wonderous nacci, previously non-wot, but want
to participate in
the discussion, I do like
the philosophical approach I've found here
nacci: i suppose
that's not much better
than getting out
the
tweasers
nacci: let
the punters continue with
the architectural experiments and run on some version chosen arbitrarily, maybe porting over critical fixes
nacci: asciilifeform, is it necessary
to stay up-to-date?
trinque: "this here wad of shit is my house
though!"
trinque: I know
this from diving in
to port it
trinque: asciilifeform: leave
the goalpost where it was, eh?
nacci: if a node can be run securely,
the rest of computing can continue
the shit show
trinque: no, it's built *such
that* you can do
this
trivially
trinque: do you realize how easy it is
to have your own port makefiles?
trinque: asciilifeform: dbus is not in
the base system wtf
nacci: perhaps
the republic will need
to maintain its own os in which
to run
trb
nacci: yeah
there are some interesting decisions made along
the way, such as over a dozen drupal packages. . .
nacci: the latest stable version has some regressions
that people have posted about on
the mailing list
nacci: sadly it does not appear
to be well supported

trinque: I'm clutching
to hand-compiled driftwood on openbsd
nacci: i've
taken an interest in openbsd on powerpc and found
there are folks here doing just
that
mircea_popescu: a doomed entreprise, obviously. even
the more intelligent among
the herd are actively laboring
to make
themselves intolerable and
to undermine any possiblity of even vaguely respectable entities sharing
their space.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'd guess
the closest
to home summation would be "they aspire
to be well regarded by an entity
they can respect".
mircea_popescu: and in any case inferior
to actual sexual slavery on
the face.
mircea_popescu: it's not clear
to me what specifically
they aspire
to, but it IS clear
to me
that
the plurious "variety" in
that aspiration is strictly of
the nature of
the variant surface glycoproteins, protecting protozoans from
the immune system
mircea_popescu: that while not all of
the us livestock is fit for either sexual slavery or "our democracy" whatever
the fuck
they would call
their current activities ; "raising awareness and waiting for
their day" whatever it may be -- nevertheless sexual slavery is a much more legitimate ASPIRATION
than whatever
they aspire
to, namely "our democracy" or "speaking at a conference" or w/e
the shit.

tenants gets about 55 square feet along with half a closet, half a bathroom, and a compact common area shared with a roommate and usually
two other flatmates, slumbering in
the unit’s other divided bedroom." << how's
this supposed
to be preferable
to simple, honest
to god sexual slavery is anyone's guess.
mircea_popescu: notwithstanding
that yes, evolution is an observable phenomenon.
mircea_popescu: in any case, dude droning on about "his ideas re evolution" is going
to make a very poor impression. as
they aren't his fucking ideas, and an apparent ignorance of
the whole darwin
thing does not plead in favour of either his intelligence or his culture.
mircea_popescu: either you are somebody, in which case you may have ideas ; or else you are nobody, in which case you stole
them.
mircea_popescu: the problem is
this : i/we don't deem $nobody capable of independent
thought.
CompanionCube: the scale of
the internet and
the world makes it more likely
than not.
CompanionCube: mircea_popescu: coincidence or independent
thought? Unless it's somewhere
trivially easy
to find,
that is
shinohai: All
these lurkers aren't her for nothing!
CompanionCube: *isnt' enough if you didn't originally find
the idea somewhere else
CompanionCube: mircea_popescu: imo plagiarism requires intent and knowledge - mere repetition of
the idea s

think
the FPGA article plagiarises #trilema logz but I should most likely read/searc more
to be confident about
that

☟︎ shinohai also
thanks
trinque for pushing him
to new frontiers
that day in
the other chan ...
shinohai: I've been playing with it some
to learn lisp, was
thinking of switching jhvh1 over at some point.
trinque: if your
thing can insert into pg, it can
talk
to logbot.
trinque: I mean, I'm not going
to post every
trivial
thing
trinque: wot service shall be posted
there at some unspecified future date
jurov: mod6:
the
treasurer duty is very light one, so it's not a problem at all
mod6: Hopefully not, as jurov has completed his duties very well
thus far.
mod6: I have no objections at all. Just curious if 'sabbatical' entailed a long enough absense
to warrant someone else
taking over as Foundation
Treasurer.
danielpbarron: I have no objection
to jurov as lord. all my interaction with him has been positive over
the years. very clean migration of some of my assets from coinbr
to eulora
diana_coman: my understanding is
that a position is a person's
to claim whenever he wants
to/cares
to, so sabbatical is certainly not a problem at all
jurov: and we are
to revisit
that every year?
a111: Logged on 2016-04-03 01:59 mircea_popescu: more like a "people responsible enough
to understand
the difference between 'people on
tilt' and 'voices of reason'". otherwise i enjoy
talking with a wide selection of folks. women, even!
diana_coman: mircea_popescu>
the one other item is ... jurov fell off as lord
treasurer. i dun exactly recall why or wherefore ; but he is STILL holding a considerable sum for
the foundation, and moreover why sohuldn't he be a lord ? <- based on
the work he did/does as far as I know it, I
think he should be on
the list;
that being said, my understanding was
that he got dropped due
to
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-03#1444966 ☝︎ mod6: jurov: Are you going
to continue with your duties as Foundation
Treasurer?
jurov: I
think I can function equally well without
titles. And if people stop obsessing about where I am speaking,
the better.
trinque: did you search logs before
thinking
that?
CompanionCube doesn't

☟︎ mircea_popescu steels himself for when someone's gonna want
to be
the lord of right good and proper.
mircea_popescu: it just shocked me, i have nfi how pilots don't kill
to drive it, but
the
thing flows like an audi.
mircea_popescu: it's been revised and revised since
the 80s. but
they came up with some exceptional engine couplings in
the last (2015 ?) iteration
mthreat: ya
the -800 is pretty new right
