mircea_popescu: asciilifeform did it ever do what he describes ? i dun think i ever saw it.
mircea_popescu: then like that it's perfectly systematizable, "!!add #fuckall plain 0 intolerant" meaning "join #fuckall, kick/ban anyone who fails to answer your plaintext question, voice everyone who does answer permanently"
mircea_popescu: simply have a knob that decides whether {crypto|plain} auth is used ; crypto does what it does now, plain asks a question, "Tell me what color is the sky", picked from a list or somesuch.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: noob support needs to be as simple and requiring of as little initiative as possible. and once that's made like that, why am i forcing you to keep an entirely separate model for #trilema ? when the same thing would actually work better in point of fact ?
mircea_popescu: i guess "this cat not worth the skinning", in general, maybe. sure, not like the current model is that broken. but if you're going to support things like #pizarro, deedbot pming new names is way the fuck better than pizarro website or sales funnel including a "and then send !!up to deebot" etc.
mircea_popescu: erry time i come in i send !!up to deedbot, i sent thousands to date, why ? it knows what i'm gonna say to it the momen ti show up, doesn't it ? who does anything @ deedbot BUT "!!up" when they come in ?
mircea_popescu: what's exactly the benefit of having whichever-unvoiced-name idling ? that what, "they can confirm the logs" ? wut the fuck is ever going to ask the voiceless anything, i need anonvouching like i need featherhairs.
mircea_popescu: not like log reading and the !Q later device aren't available to cross presence gaps.
mircea_popescu: it seems to me to be the right thing here, "connect when you're you". otherwise, who are we talking to ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: you're saying this level of incarnation is too much to ask ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, seems to me "automatic connections" is a take on "a man walks into a bar" consisting of "but it wasn't really a man, just the hologram of one"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "it's not so much that there's no more pie, as it is we ate the pie." hurr durr, endless infinity engine of unredeemable externalizations.
mircea_popescu: "makes it sound like she has reneged on a gender agreement, rather than come to terms with her identity" << exactly what fucking happened, duh.
mircea_popescu: lola torvalds henceforth ? this is not even a bad idea.
mircea_popescu: "repeated reconnects without meat present at terminal" <<< this seems at best disrespectful.
mircea_popescu: no more need for !!up, deedbot messages you on join, you got 5 minutes or somesuch to respond. if you don't, it kicks, and if it kicks you multiple times a day it also bans you.
mircea_popescu: trinque tbh i was thinking of revising the voice model altogether, in favour of a voice-or-kick model.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: trinque is this something you'd be interested in doing ? expand deedbot thusly, maybe charge chans a fee ?
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: might actually offer a bot-as-a-service that pms all new joins to the channel a question, and if it doesn't get the answer it doesn't voice them
mircea_popescu: or what was it, +r, w/e, need to be registered to join
mircea_popescu: mod6 srsly, invite-only dun work so well for a support chan
mircea_popescu: meanwhuile in lulz, "WHIPPED BECAUSE SHE WAS IMPERTINENT Then Miss DeCrist Was Chained to a Negress Until She Fainted"
mircea_popescu: the whole "women are people too, muh feelings, rape is bad mkay, e=mc2 is mean because it priviledges the speed of light over other speeds much more important to us" mamie-ism is entirely a different flavour
mircea_popescu: it was a very different flavour of socialism than what's currently prevailing in pantsuilands. this was supposed to be pretty much exactly star trek, "better living through technology [and carefully not looking under the rugs desighnated 'do not look under this rug']".
mircea_popescu: anyway, the "millenialist", so to call them, "star trek is socialist future" pantsuit group lost pretty much everything in the 2010s religious war with the "ugly fat negro women with their tits in the mud is socialist future" group.
mircea_popescu: except "what i want" is "unleash the creativity in every droplet of mankind" sorta bunk.
mircea_popescu: that he croaked is lofty irony, in that sense, but i can't imagine what coming out it'd have taken. how was he in ?
mircea_popescu: trinque i dunno, he was into that whole "live forever in a turtleneck and short hair" pantsuit churchlet.
mircea_popescu: consequently all sorts of things are the same to me, or not worth the distinguishing, that i believe aren't to the more involved observer.
mircea_popescu: i happily ignored "tech" in that decade, or most of it anyway.
mircea_popescu: i r suspect alf is the more disappointed among us. not that i hold that against him.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in this sense the more famous judas held out for 30 yrs.
mircea_popescu: i don't see the contagion angle. sexual fetishes are a matter of fashion, to some degree, but not properly speaking epidemic.
mircea_popescu: i suppose "express", as in "genotype expresses in fenotype". though honestly, the more direct sexual reference is deeply adequate. this is a sexual matter, not genetic nor immunological nor etc.
mircea_popescu: in short -- "good news", after a fashion : everyone's fucked, and their children will absolutely never see the light of day.
mircea_popescu: good fucking luck with this new paradigm however. how, just FUCKING HOW ?!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ok, but in 1200 a peasant could ~at least in principle~ become lord. some kind of principle, something (yes it ~never worked in practice).
mircea_popescu: pturile. ca alt rezultat, am sezut doua ceasuri de-am recitit ce mizerii am scris acum sase luni, le-am rescris, si... mnoa, triplat eficienta."
mircea_popescu: in point of fact, historical aristocracy did not enjoy quite as deep or strict cleavage from the peons. yes your count would be "brave" where your peasanrt would be "cowardly", but this is very fucking little when compared to "in alte stiri umoristice, prostalaii astia cu fetlife si-or angajat uameni si-or schimbat saitu', pen'ca li se parea lor cam nedrept ca de ce fac io ce vreau pe-acolo. ca rezultat, mi-or murit tate scri
mircea_popescu: there's just about no perspective which is both consistent and describes a reduction of this gap.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes, but once one ~is there~, one is there. there's no more missing out, just stick to it.
mircea_popescu: in another decade or two, it'll be strictly impossible for the various pantsuit churchlets to do ~anything. they're rapidly losing all technical ability, and so... i mean i already can take my pick of bdsm-ish chicks in "north america -- the best country in the world". in another coupla decades, boy howdy.
mircea_popescu: in strict professional terms, this is the sort of boon nobody could have even fucking hoped for, as a child. it's one thing to "miss out on bitcoin" because bought food instead of bitcoin in 2012. it is however a substantially different thing to miss out on engineering -- harder to fucking do.
mircea_popescu: the path to argentina is well understood and better documented.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i suspect it'll be a whole openssl/libressl bla bla fizzle and pop there too.
mircea_popescu: nfi where i picked up the idea, but not borne by facts.
mircea_popescu: now i gotta read the memcpy reference, isn't it basically a wrapper on malloc ?
mircea_popescu: whether fucked with in any sense, allocate memory, deallocate memory, it's all one thing.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in my mind, all memory handling operations are part of the gc.
mircea_popescu: though on meditation, such a "should" might not be available on current iron...
mircea_popescu: ave1 Aggregates << for the record, i think this whole thing is stupid, in the camel-nose-under-tent sense. array-aggregate-operation should not draw in the gc apparatus (in its memcpy portions, whatever).
mircea_popescu: apparently unix sockets got a lot weirder while nobody was looking.
mircea_popescu: but yes, the procedure is pretty much the sole mother, "when in doubt, simplify"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this was re sorting blog bits in categories.
mircea_popescu: more than half the categories on trilema didn't get any articles in a year+, if this isn't a sign of utter and complete breakdown...
mircea_popescu: but in strict terms, the utility is that it forces the above dilemma, inescapably. this is substantially what beating even is, the only proper definition thereof.
mircea_popescu: kinda the fucking point. if that were an option -- beating wouldn't be a thing. at least not for me.
mircea_popescu: there's two kinds of girls in the dungeon, when it comes to beatings. there's more than two kinds in pretty much all other context, but here just two : those who move into the blow, and those who move to escape it.
mircea_popescu: if they don't happen to same, that is as far as anyone knows, sheer coincidence. because in not having said, you lost on being able to know.
mircea_popescu: anyway -- fuck 'em, i deeply fucking care some nobody-on-a-stick meanwhile joined the churchgoing group. whatever. but in matters of actual interest : you "were working" on an ada networking socking thing ; ave "was working" on ~same. had diana_coman not said "here's what ~~~I AM ABOUT TO DO~~~", we would have never known. if the wastefulness of this approach isn't directly obvious...
