phf: btcbase will continue running the way it has been so far, and i will continue putting vpatches into patches at least until there's a replacement
phf: there's no need to znc, the entire archive of logs is available here: http://btcbase.org/log-raw/ with 2016-03.txt being the last kako file. the only outlier is tmsr-logs-apr2012-oct2013.txt which is the dump mircea_popescu gave me of the prehistoric logs, which i have a custom reader for.
phf: asciilifeform: i'll genesis you the logger in the next two weeks. i'd rather you not waste time on it though. the design predates castles, so making it multichannel might be excessive amount of work. it's idiosyncratic, a product of the conversations from four years ago. your current approach seems a lot more solid.
lobbesbot: phf: Sent 1 week, 4 days, 13 hours, and 21 minutes ago: <asciilifeform> will [http://btcbase.org/patches] [patch viewer] ever get [http://btcbase.org/log/2019-07-24#1924501] [fed] !? and how about [http://btcbase.org/log/2019-07-22#1924232] You've given me 5 invalid commands within the last 60 seconds; I'm now ignoring you for 10 minutes. ?! where didja go, phf ? feeding the fish ?
lobbesbot: phf: Sent 2 weeks, 3 days, 10 hours, and 10 minutes ago: <asciilifeform> plox to snarf vpatch in http://www.loper-os.org/?p=3420 , ty.
phf: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-08-08#1926224 << perhaps quarter dead, but days go to going to hospital for daily wounds dressing, sleeping a lot and going for walks, i have another sugery on monday to close me up.
mircea_popescu: "a thirst for adventure" or how did the golden age rpg story go. a band of misfits with a thirst for adventure.
mircea_popescu: the point isn't whether "it works out" ; the point is that no old merchant from the age of sail, successful or otherwise, would've traded his life out for landlubbers'.
mircea_popescu: not that i invented it, it's what rimbaud did, it's what plenty of people've already done. not usually studied in girl school for girls, but that's entirely a diff story. and no, it doesn't usually work out.
mircea_popescu: but, again, that's me.
mircea_popescu: but to answer the orig q : ~i~ would probably go to some kind of pashtun and do the http://trilema.com/2012/concurs-de-fictiune/ thing, on the solid backing of imported gold. which is why i suggested qatar to mocky, travel to establish what became pizarro etc.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-08-09 04:02:17 trinque: which is just utterly wtf from the outside.
mircea_popescu: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-08-09#1926669 << funny hpow that works, huh.
spyked: mircea_popescu, it happens that I have a blogpost in the works just on that :D
mircea_popescu: they're about as dumb as the ukrs, honestly. place's so fucked...
mircea_popescu: romanians these days...
spyked: lulz. apparently "friends" is somewhat popular in ro nowadays, there's marathon reruns on tv and I see all these chicks with brand t-shirts on the street... well, I'm assuming they watch it
mircea_popescu: nobody watched friends you'd want to talk to
mircea_popescu: spyked, amusingly, at the time seinfeld ran a bunch of morons were remaking it. "friends" (with that blonde dumb cunt, what's her name). it didn't work even then
mircea_popescu: anyway. moron jew boy ended up buying a bunch of cars. in new york. that's what he needed a billion dollars for.
spyked: I saw a couple of episodes in a weekend (and another couple of "big bang theory") and I got the distinct feeling of "these guys are trying to remake seinfeld with another cast and variations on the ol' premise". i.e. they're not jews in NY, but nerds in LA or something like that
mircea_popescu: i missed that one.
spyked: hm... two and a half men
mircea_popescu: which was that ?
spyked: well, if we count the shows that are seinfeld rip-offs (e.g. that charlie sheen thing), maybe not even half.
mircea_popescu: moral hazard of the finest imperial flavour.
mircea_popescu: seinfeld, meanwhile, DID get ~half of what nbc made off that piece of utter crap.
mircea_popescu: the obnoxious part is that tarantino didn't get 50% of sopranos income ; nor lynch of xfiles. though THEY WERE OWED
mircea_popescu: whole x-files thing was mostly attempt to live off THAT, much like whole "sopranos" nonsense was trying to live off tarantino's perfect killer, 5 minutes of footage.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-08-09 03:33:06 mp_en_viaje: meanwhile in inspirational quotes, "Due to financial problems the filming of Eraserhead was haphazard, regularly stopping and starting again."
spyked: logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-08-09#1926609 <-- incidentally, I started reviewing twin peaks about a month ago. and the part of it that is soap opera has aged horribly, while the part that is "david lynch mindfuck poetry" I still find brilliant. the man has a way of stirring frustration, I suspect he does it intentionally most of the time
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't cut that.
mircea_popescu: high q multithreading is one of the few things cl has arguing for it
spyked: but I'm not sure that's the right way to go atm
spyked: my sense so far is that they (initially?) designed it to be a beast similar to Apache, rather than running behind it. it does multi-threading so it should be able to handle high loads pretty well. so if, say, I snipped the multi-threading bits out, I'd perhaps cut the code in half.
mircea_popescu: i did say it infuriates me, which it does ; but then again im not using it, so.
spyked: mircea_popescu, purely from the user's point of view, it works reliably as far as I can see. and two days ago I wrote a simple mock "comment eater" for thetarpit and was reasonably productive. I haven't found any major flaws yet, so I'll continue working through the code.
mircea_popescu: what's your take on hutchentoot so far btw ? do you like it ?
spyked: ah. yeah, not sure there's such a thing. as asciilifeform pointed out, cl seems to handle string'isms better... and as mircea_popescu pointed out, cl doing tcpisms is not much different from python
mircea_popescu: i took it as "one true computer lang", which is iffier.
mircea_popescu: ah, in that sense, tmsr-owned lang. yes
spyked: mircea_popescu, re. tmsr lang: could be one of two or three (or I dunno how many) langs, as long as tmsr owns 'em. atm there's no genesis for a cl compiler/interpreter (let alone e.g. networking code a la usocket, or a curl etc.), so... inb4 "fuck you spyked, I can't even compile sbcl, how do you want me to stand up your logotron"
snsabot: Logged on 2019-08-09 01:57:33 billymg: ^ i put together a quick POC for e2e testing on mp-wp. i have to sign off for the night and will be away from my main machine this weekend but will be checking the logs/comments if anyone has any feedback
mircea_popescu: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-08-09#1926566 << "After pressing you will need to run npm install from the project directory in order to pull down just under 100mb of depshits in order for this to work." top keks. left you a comment, too.
diana_coman: onth now I still have to figure out where to stand a bot
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, i noticed it too, takes a coupla secs for a longer page.
mircea_popescu: someone can then configure a local ~eater~ (taking, eg, bot cvs dumps) and have the logs (of w/e chan interests them) directly on their mp-wp. which means -- including the selection thing etc.
diana_coman: at refresh of bot's log page I notice the "snappy but visibly slower than phf's " aspect asciilifeform mentioned
mircea_popescu: incidentally, lobbes or billymg i guess -- if either of you feel like futzing with it, having a logger bot that spits out days formatted for mp-wp into MPWP_posts table formatted into a category so one can just plug that into their blog will prolly be fantastic.
mircea_popescu: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-08-08#1926535 << best sorta cheat, for one thing saves you the trouble of genesising those.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-08-08 22:20:15 lobbes: pretty cool asciilifeform. ftr the speed at which you did this blows me away
snsabot: Logged on 2019-08-09 05:08:42 spyked: yked and #asciilifeform, tho who knows, maybe I'll get surprised.
mircea_popescu: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-08-09#1926703 << food for thought, not like there's a rush right nao
snsabot: Logged on 2019-08-09 04:42:15 spyked: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-08-08#1926421 <-- fwiw I personally use CL because it's the lang that allows me to eat most coad/hr; although looking at the "cl on pc is a dead end" thread, I'd throw it away without any remorse were there a "tmsr lang"
mircea_popescu: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-08-09#1926690 << i suspect there may be fundamental reasons for which there simply can't be such a thing as "a tmsr lang"
snsabot: Logged on 2019-08-09 04:06:57 trinque: do you see this as some kind of innate item, or what
mircea_popescu: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-08-09#1926678 << goes right back to "when is a bunch no longer a bunch" discussion. luck is not a property of the lucky, it's a property of the world.
mircea_popescu: this is obviously a charicature, for one thing the not giving a shit works both ways, for another i'm getting old, and so following. but i suppose you get the idea -- to borrow alf's metaphore a sackfull of lymphocites ain't getting very far in life.
mircea_popescu: an in one hand and zippo lighter in the other.
mircea_popescu: i'm the sort of guy who ~had to think~ school is cool, or else wouldn't have gone. as a nine year old. i'm the sort of guy who told his father where to stick it. as a teen. there's currently a whole regiment of women literally dedicating their life to interfacing as much of the world as possible so i don't start burning it down, because yes, absolutely, the moment i'm not happy with how things are going there i am, jerry c
snsabot: Logged on 2019-08-09 04:09:28 trinque: this is curious, that "a world of mp will burn down"
spyked: speaking of which, asciilifeform, could you bring snsabot in #spyked? wouldn't hurt to have it listening there.
spyked: yked and #asciilifeform, tho who knows, maybe I'll get surprised.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-08-09 03:16:10 mp_en_viaje: also spyked, you never said anything re http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-08-08#1926226 ; is #spyked something you're serious about or not just yet ? i don't mean to make that call for you by sheer accident. anyone else ? Mocky ?
spyked: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-08-09#1926574 <-- #spyked is currently a drop-in replacement for thetarpit comments (not for long tho, I hope) and a bot testing ground (and possibly a bit noisy because of that). otherwise it's defo open to the lordship and newbs, altho I'm not yet actively doing anything to bring the latter in. I expect there's an overlap between the types that'll pop up in #sp
snsabot: Logged on 2019-08-09 03:06:11 mp_en_viaje: incidentally, speaking of http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-08-08#1926225 : hanbot is taking teenaged / twentysomething females meeting the pizdi bill ; i presume asciilifeform is taking highly intelligent, shy & introverted males age-irrespective, math grad student prototype while diana_coman is taking inquisitive teenagers age irrespective and BingoBoingo latam... fema
diana_coman: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-08-09#1926567 -> inquisitive teenagers age irrespective sounds about right (not that I'd turn out a hard-working, knowledgeable adult bent on doing useful work, age irrespective)
spyked: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-08-08#1926520 <-- for trilemabot-voicer it works this way: the !!up + decrypt steps are manually operated; then the operator stores the OTPs in a list and the bot automatically !!v's them when it needs to up itself.
mircea_popescu: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-08-09#1926684 << definitely ; hand cranked, too -- hit mp_en_viaje's last ip when i logged on this one. well, coupla minutes later, anyway.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-08-08 17:54:51 mircea_popescu: freenode wants 1s delay between msgs, and bot seems to try and do that but maybe add a 50ms buffer on top or somethign ?
spyked: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-08-08#1926462 <-- it does that indeed, as per http://coad.thetarpit.org/feedbot/feedbot/c-feedbot.lisp.html#L8 ; heck I'll set it to 2sec if that guarantees it won't fail; but yeah, fleanode provides no actual guarantees.
spyked: also, I guess there's also the fact that despite all its problems, there's a pile of CL code (e.g. hunchentoot, cl-irc) that works... very similarly to how wordpress does the job, despite its size and other warts. maybe Ada could also find similar pieces of code for Ada, but tbh I haven't looked... yet?
snsabot: Logged on 2019-08-08 16:59:01 diana_coman: and ftr I have no idea why did the other bots go for lisp anyway, did I miss somewhere the rationale for it?
spyked: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-08-08#1926421 <-- fwiw I personally use CL because it's the lang that allows me to eat most coad/hr; although looking at the "cl on pc is a dead end" thread, I'd throw it away without any remorse were there a "tmsr lang"
mircea_popescu: it's the intrinsic limit on dealmaking, and why the glib narcissist does well there -- very effectually defensive of the self AND not that much there to begin with. because that's always the best kept secret of the well defended fortress -- there wasn't so much inside to begin with.
mircea_popescu: you give out a little bit of yourself each time. and eventually, down the road, after enough dealmaking, you discover there's nothing actually left. this is very much the equivalent of alf's point re "only so many lines of code in one before insanity", except for business people, those who are too dumb to realise it on their own.
mircea_popescu: anyway, re city hall : it's a collection of platitudes, like any usian "deep" / "philosophical" movie. but it's a collection of ~well chosen~ platitudes, like the better such are, and in it incidentally pacino explains the problem with the dealmaking model :
lobbesbot: mircea_popescu: Sent 1 hour and 1 minute ago: <mp_en_viaje> remember you wanted to !!rate -10 princessnell http://btcbase.org/log/2019-07-22#1924146
trinque: because the former naturally grows.
trinque: it makes an immediate kind of sense that outside the edifice of meaning you need a destructive process
trinque: this is curious, that "a world of mp will burn down"
trinque: do you see this as some kind of innate item, or what
trinque: because compared to that, it's where I think I stand!
mp_en_viaje: 3) the whole of it was always hanging out with the cool people. i don't mean, "cool", as in, swag. i mean cool as in david lynch quote above, dork bought a 12 room house for $3500 in th worst gangland he could find for his wife and newborn kid and lived there, "the fear was palpable"
trinque: which is just utterly wtf from the outside.
trinque: and yet the republic is not nonsense.
mp_en_viaje: 2) i never made money, i always made power. the money was coincidental. i never made all the money there was to make or could. nor did i ever give much of a shit, i'm utterly not constructive, a world of nothing but mp will burn down.
trinque: I'm much more faces plus walls and pain tolerance.
mp_en_viaje: i don't mind saying, but keep in mind you're doing the equiv of asking columbus things about finding new continents. he ~doesn't know~. irrespective of what data may suggest, he was just there coincidentally, at right time.
mp_en_viaje: 1) i am an utterly TERRIBLE font of advice re business. i made oddles of money in SUCH improbable, unlikely venues and circumstances -- admittedly, regularly, multiply, repeadedly, but SO FUCKING UNLIKELY -- i dare not presume what works for me works in any meaningful sense.
mp_en_viaje: trinque, understand the following points :
mp_en_viaje: so he sits and thinks "oh, nobody reads my blog". which is false.
trinque: mp_en_viaje: if you were just cresting 7 fig in 2019 what would you throw yourself into?
mp_en_viaje: this is utterly fucking false, of course. the telegraph doesn't get in a month the daily readership of trilema. but i think the ~pervasiveness~ of the antiquated, and mistaken, worldview may rub off on people.
mp_en_viaje: there's this default idea in the general populace, that a) somebody reads the raped-and-left-for-dead husks of ye olde gatekeepers and that b) it's still myspace days on internet, nobody reads "your webpage"
mp_en_viaje: while in kiev i met this brit (at the time masquerading as this local girl's sub, but w/e). as a joke, socially, i said i'm the most pretentious guy you'll ever meet, and when he asked for sauce i told him it says so right on my own blog. he found this a most excellent bon mot, "oh, that's perfect, you webpage nobody reads, not like the telegraph or something".
trinque: I don't for the record know what I'd say, cognizant that I ought to say.
trinque: he's very well. I'll ask him if he wants to dust off the voice.
mp_en_viaje: well, is he ok ? how's texas working out ? same bfast point applies, i actually checked http://cascadianhacker.com/ few times doing darkness week
trinque: we're struggling up into the money machine, and it has its costs.
