mircea_popescu: incidentally, it seems
they're kinda stomping
themselves over
there, would-be #reddit alt-tmsr l1 is getting massacred in
their attempt at creating a narrative. i guess it helps
being persuasive, if you're gonna
try and lord huh.
mircea_popescu: no, i understand why
they have my poster up in
the room or w/e.
that, however, is where
they enter into it. i'm over here.
hanbot: you enter into it inasmuch as you won't play
the fucking-with-the-margins-enacts-substantial-meaning game with
them, and it
threatens
the conscience, so you've got
to be evil/Really Bad/etc
mircea_popescu: i dunno how i enter into it ; but it's self-obvious
that all
the various would-be mini-republics will work
the exact same way.
they fucking have
to, what.
mircea_popescu: i dunno,
the part where people of reddit are grandstanding offa imaginary high moral grounds re imaginary "child porn"... whole fucking alt-trilema
that's reddit exists because of
their unmitigated love for child porn. if it weren't for
that dedication,
the spearhead of unlaid dorkitude'd still be called digg.
ossabot: Logged on 2020-01-04 05:38:15 mircea_popescu: because
totally,
this is how
the pantsuit "
sincere regret" device works : gmaxwell is "sincerely sorry" about his 2011 "business" in his mind only wasting a buncha people's coins,
therefore "mp largely slinked off into
the shadows after one of his crappy businesses disappeared with people's coins".
diana_coman: lolz; I'll go
to see
to
the child for a bit.
mircea_popescu: "Some
traveled path splits at
times into such directions
that one gets
to wonder all over again what choice really means." << incidentally,
this is how you even know you're getting anywhere.
mircea_popescu: i'm out here reading
through
the bottom decile of
the dcu rejected applications bucket.
diana_coman: heh, might end up
triggering more discussion but at least I got something out of
those days' reading & mulling.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: ^ is my current answer for
that a) vs b) choice.
mircea_popescu: and so on ad nauseam, let's project all our issues on daddy,
that'll
totally build such a wunderbar world as nobody'll ever want
to live in.

lobbes: damn, indeed a mess. Humans just can't seem
to measure
time very well
lobbes: diana_coman: woah, you are right; I had never realized
that
there is no year 0 in
that calendar scheme
diana_coman: basically
timestamps have always been a
total mess.
diana_coman: they didn't have 0 a.d. at *that
time*
though, did
they?
lobbes: diana_coman: hm, but
then what about, say, 0 A.D.? Wasn't
that
the start of
the 'first' decade?
diana_coman: lobbes:
technically new decade starts with 2021, doesn't it?
BingoBoingo will be re-reading docs on nsd. Logs suggest clock disagreement
took down
the group.
BingoBoingo: Blogs all appear
to be back. Will read
to see WTF happened
to make spreading nameserving fall apart after ~2 days
hanbot: bimbo.club looks
to be offline also.
diana_coman: neither qntra.net nor
thewhet.net load from here.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, actually, neither qntra nor
thewhet load here ; nor is
the dns working,
try a dig.
mod6: Ooh, ok gotcha.
Thx.
BingoBoingo: mod6: Sorry, was referring
to
thewhet.net. It's loading.
mod6: Alright, noted. I'll see what I can do about
that in
the next few days
too.
mod6: Now
that my blog is back up and working (blog.mod6.net), I have a number of articles
to write here in
the next serveral days with further
thoughts/details surrounding
the items in
the State of Bitcoin Address.
mod6: whaack:
thx for
testing.
mod6: is
thewhet.net down for anyone else?
trinque: BingoBoingo:
tx dispatcher for deeds is back in action. I'll get
the site generator pointed at
the new stuff
tomorrow.
trinque: article width meanwhile prolapsed my
theme
too
trinque gets
to unfucking all
the above,
thanks y'all
diana_coman: also, mind adding
those very useful widgets for last articles and last comments? please?
diana_coman: trinque: why does your blog send me
to an empty page after I give it a comment? It's quite confusing/initially I
thought it failed
to eat it and I was just about
to
try again.
mircea_popescu: this, for
the record, is
the first
time in my life i've actually had
this problem. i been preparing for it all my life, it's
true, but i never actually had it before.
mircea_popescu: well good for you
then ; ima go back
to
trying
to dig myself out from under all
the publishings omfg.
diana_coman: lolz; I was about
to say
that compared
to further
trying
to get sense out of cs entrails, just about ~anything else qualifies for happy.
mircea_popescu: lol. i mean it as
the
term of art, seen in "vincent ? are we happy ?"
mircea_popescu: (mull & read)*
tingles my malloc sense. is
that a dangling dereference ?
diana_coman: at any rate, I'll
take some days
to (mull & read)*
mircea_popescu: but
that's
the idea : what i mean by " we systematize
the pile" is
that first we make a large pile,
then we select from it
to make a smaller but correctly structured pile, and
then we use
the pile
to fix cs where needed (and also we convert some portion of
the larger pile left out,
that's worth doing)
diana_coman: ok; worth noting
that
the "piped into" part might itself be quite involved / will depend on what's exactly in
that pile from a/b.
mircea_popescu: (watch
that at some later point, all
the assholes who were "too busy"
to help out when it mattered will whine about why bitcoin is so expensive now, and
their work not worth jack once we didn't need it anymore so
they finally deigned
to doing some)
diana_coman: what are
the steps going
to be re "graphics on client side"?
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: what about cs/ps anyway? ie graphics as "how & what
to store" is one
thing;
there is still at all
times some sort of "how
to get from data
to pretty pics/animations/etc"
mircea_popescu: anwyay -- i kinda do want a done anyway, so if any of
the unemployed in
the audience wants
to hop
to, do
talk
to me about it.
mircea_popescu: the advantage of a
truly republican new year's celebration
diana_coman: certainly I meant for "it can
take forever"
mircea_popescu: now,
the risk with choosing b is
that it can readily
turn into
the grave ; in
the hands of any being an engineer
that'd be exactly
the necessary outcome. it can
take forever, yes ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, i'm not about
to go paying idiots a whole lotta money so
they're a little bit less idiotic, what
the fuck.
diana_coman: I didn't keep
track but I do recall at least a few off
the
top of my head, yes.
mircea_popescu: gotta be at least a dozen, including both
the expert who made one splash screen and
the contest winning kid on
tardstalk who made
the other.
mircea_popescu: do you even recall how many "artists" i commissioned
to date whose idea of "commission" and "artist" was...
take some money and RUN!!!!!
ossabot: Logged on 2019-12-30 12:41:13 mircea_popescu: diana_coman,
the way
this coming
to a head is working out in my head is as follows : you have practically speaking
the option
to either a) go
trawl
the entire internet, drag out ~everything~
that's conceivably useful (submit expenses report for stuff
that's behind reasonable paywalls i guess) and
then we systematize
the pile ; or else write a possible-lifeform-generation machine and see what you want it
to save
mircea_popescu: it does. if
there's a meteor land
tomorrow wipe out "humanity"
there'll be exactly nothing lost. except for
the stench it wouldn't even be noticeable anything occured.
diana_coman: myeah;
that basically says "you'll have
to build up
the people
too so..."
mircea_popescu: you meet more 30yos, you'll meet more alfs in
the best case. i am so fucking uncurious
to be meeting anymore alfs...
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, sadly i do not currently believe anyone whose name is going
to be worth knowing in
ten years is older
than about fifteen
today. with maybe a dozen exceptions.
diana_coman: the
thing with
the AI/automated generation was initially
that "can't beat human at
this sort of
task" iirc.
mircea_popescu: neither of
these is shaders specifically, because obviously neither can be shaders specifically, because how
diana_coman: if you mean "art products" by
that everything
that's conceivably useful
then yes, indeed, I was
thinking precisely of
that rather sad attempt, hm;
the idea -naive!- behind
that
to my mind was more
to find perhaps as a result *people* doing something useful in
that direction, hm.
