asciilifeform: holyshit i have an undocumented cat in the house.
BingoBoingo: You work is of uniformly high quality and you have identified the obstacle to producing more of it. Let us try to pivot to action to blast the obstacle. Maybe the next quarterly S.NSA statement includes "To my pleasant surprise..."
a111: Logged on 2019-06-30 18:22 BingoBoingo remembers the time shortly before departing to Uruguay when he recieved a dispatch from danielpbarron during one of danielpbarron's then increasingly long bouts of silence. The guy declared to have a concrete plan to do the ISP thing in Brasil, contacted a datacenter and all, but made no updates into the logs about having done so. I thusly encouraged him to try the ISP thing, but he instead went the other way to Oklahoma.
BingoBoingo: I brought up http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-30#1921054 because it epitmoizes the Republican communication problem where despite ample examples, keeping everything "sooper top seekrit" until its absolutely "done" is the most losing strategy. ☝︎☟︎☟︎
BingoBoingo: The disease afflicting the republic is that 2013, 2014 through 2019 and three figure USD bitcoin reported by heathens to 4 and 5 figure Bitcoin reported by heathens is that while a bunch of very cool tools have been made, there hasn't been much escaping from the bezzle.
BingoBoingo: Make a mission of it: 12, 18, 24 months to get out of Mordor and stop digging salt for the enemy. Strict http://trilema.com/2013/the-theory-behind-the-alternative-eve-corporation/#selection-445.0-445.447 on your way to a land with cheese. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: Draw up some tea, take a walk, and give some serious thought to maximizing your return on effort with the aim of breaking out of the salt mine.
BingoBoingo: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-30#1921064 << Let us try to fix this part. This is the opening to get your hours and boners back from Microshit. I find the saltmining forever assumption troubling. Digging for the manticore reference yesterday I got struck pretty hard with the melancholoy counting the years. ☝︎☟︎
a111: Logged on 2019-06-30 15:50 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i like to work with mircea_popescu , and would prefer to continue, but as i understand was already proclaimed a lamer, and why would mircea_popescu want to work with a lamer ?
asciilifeform: i gotta go and do a meat chore for 2h or so. if mircea_popescu et al have specific q for asciilifeform , will answer when come back. if mircea_popescu says 'instead do x', i'ma see if i have with what. else would prefer to skip the 2017 ' mircea_popescu plays with his food ' and take the -10 sooner rather than later-and-wasted-errybodys-time . ☟︎
asciilifeform: tried to be the 1st. and ended up with fg ( did it ever make back what mircea_popescu put in for us to bake it ? ) and a demonstrably-correct numerics stack that dun leak ( which apparently nobody wants to even read, much less use )
a111: Logged on 2019-06-30 18:03 asciilifeform: if -- worm, then let someone else do what asciilifeform apparently - fails - to do, that must be done, and asciilifeform will go to where worms go.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-30#1920999 << yes, eventually someone else will have to do all the things you do not do. you know this going in, or rather, coming out into this world. entirely unrelated and fucking uninteresting sidepoint, of the caliber of appending "a=a" to all sorta technical manuals. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, so be the first, what fucking difference does it have. life can not proceed without modles ?
mircea_popescu: who the fuck cares what anyone enjoys. i got the topless starlets to enjoy me out the wazoo.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-30 17:56 asciilifeform: mp, for instance, does not enjoy reading such broadcasts and i dun think anyone else does either
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-30#1920995 << "enjoys" nothing, the world's not here for your enjoyment. that item was ~IMPORTANT~ because it permitted discussion, through being a basis for it. ☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: who, incidentally, ought asciilifeform to have been learning from ? which is the hero that, with full time salt mine, also 'has the items' and keeps the schedule etc
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, i know you don't. do you know how i know ? because you can't produce the items! if you had them, you'd have been having them by now.

a111: Logged on 2019-06-30 17:54 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: suppose , for a moment, that asciilifeform issued weekly broadcasts. wouldja want to read the typical one ? because it is likely as not to consist of 'this week i spent 50hrs battling microshit, and 7 tryin' to load peh back into my greying head'
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-30#1920994 << you fucking read them, mother! you read them, for YOU to find out why you suck! jaysus. you think people write journals for the public ? ☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu still convinced that ' asciilifeform doesn't think it out properly ' rather than ' trying to take off 'cessna' weighing 2 tonne , loaded with 20 ' ?
mircea_popescu: lisp that shit up, beotch. same exact fucking thing!
mircea_popescu: you whine about how windows computers don't tag memory and processes properly, but your own fucking head... doesn't tag either time or activity, is the idea here ?
mircea_popescu: human industry is this ~deliberate~ approach to things.
mircea_popescu: human industry isn't this activity whereby orc sees field, goes RAAAAAA!!! and runs amuk in it, the results to be tallied later by forensics.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-22 06:31 mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-21#1919128 << yours is no small, but rather eminently the ur-update, not to mention transparently ~everyone's experience.
mircea_popescu: ikf you don't start with it, and build on it, you're not working, you're just wasting everyone's time, yours first and foremost.
mircea_popescu: reporting is THE CORE of real work. not some bullshit side part. THE CORE.
mircea_popescu: eh, bs. reporting isn't some sort of chore that's to be shoved in the wasted hours, after "real work" was done.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu expects full-time pro a+++ work & reporting from folx who have 0-10 hrs/wk they managed to keep from the salt mine boss.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-30 17:08 mp_en_viaje: and yes, i get it, it irritates you to high heavens your work isn't moving faster. that's fine. but it is also not the topic here.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-22 20:59 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-22#1919261 << what i find deeply irritating it's that it tends to be republican work that gets dropped in such situations.
mircea_popescu: then what, exactly, is the substance of your complain ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: nobody's tryin' to expropriate mircea_popescu . ( not here anyway )
mircea_popescu: not like i;m sitting here on a pile of gold an' coin amassed through exploiting phf, mod6 an; poor little old you but won' tsplit the loot.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i dun have any complaint to mircea_popescu re bent nickels.
mircea_popescu: get your ass in the fucking hustle rather than whining to me about how poor you are.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: dun think anyone expects this. if mircea_popescu wanted 7 moar diana_coman's, for something, could have already hired'em
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, is there a bent nickle you made that i kept from you or something ?
mircea_popescu: holy hell look at that, just as soon as getting the fuck alligned to reality is in discussion, what ignatius wanna do is resurrect greenspan. what the fuck nonsense is this.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-30 17:47 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i can see his irritation , also, 2 other worms this yr have all but stopped giving silk -- mod6 , phf -- 'for no apparent reason'
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-30#1920985 << it's not clear to me what the problem is ; it also does not make much of a difference what the problem is. i am not going to become usg.fed, underbooking everyone's everything. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: Having as we do finite erections and not infinite cunt, we don't have the right parts for mircea_popescu to beat us into having legs. We gotta start making our own legs.
mircea_popescu: just finished feeding one earlier today, pretty little thing.
mircea_popescu: if the idea here is, "show mp a good time", the average daily budget of the yurpean burlesque show attraction, a well built girl in her 20s, is <20 euros.
BingoBoingo: It seems like he wants us to develop legs
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i intend to first learn whether mircea_popescu even wants to run a worm farm.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: If you have 7 hours that can either load Peh or get an outreach machine going, there seems to be an opportunity cost
mircea_popescu: "atm". this atm stretched like cheese over the YEARS
asciilifeform: if not proceed, then i haven't what to give. and mircea_popescu aint wrong, atm he is in person 90% of the customers.
mircea_popescu: this is not a workable model. i won't even call it "business model", it has 0 to do with business.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: re piz -- the mips item , i think i described, is so that ea. of the 32core boxen can be cut into 32 'you have root' properly isolated virtuals, which then can be leased to heathens w/out particular selectivity. but this requires not only for it to be finished properly ( it is on conveyor behind peh, which i explicitly promised to mp et al ) but for machine delivery to proceed.
mircea_popescu: did not work out for the foundation.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-30 17:25 BingoBoingo: I am managing the day to day, month to month, but someone with capital has to represent the capital
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-30#1920961 << basically, an abandoned ship, sailing randomly for as long as no rocks decide any better. sounds PRECISELY like the foundation. ☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: no worries, lol, i cleared calendar, have time.
mircea_popescu apologizes to ppls for his in and out shenanigans. hopefully fixed now.
BingoBoingo: Well, the whole aim of Pizarro is to try to make money. S.NSA hardware for Pizarro, and an outreach machine for Pizarro would seem the avenue to liberate your time from microsoft.
mircea_popescu: god damn this pos.
asciilifeform: if -- worm, then let someone else do what asciilifeform apparently - fails - to do, that must be done, and asciilifeform will go to where worms go. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: This suggests the priority ought to be action towards killing the 50 hours of Microshit brain cancer, no?
asciilifeform: soon enuff will discover that erryone (with exception of diana_coman) is -- worm

BingoBoingo: With the aim of outreach machine eventually killing the need for fiat dayjob
BingoBoingo: Well, you can try to make the hours that you have count. Proactive communication, bait folks with the problems you are chewing on. Get Peh battle ready and pivot to Pizarro and get an outreach machine going.
asciilifeform: ww2. lieutenant observes that one of the mg nests under his command has fallen silent. he goes and asks, 'sgt. petrov, why is your mg silent ?'
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i can see his irritation , also, 2 other worms this yr have all but stopped giving silk -- mod6 , phf -- 'for no apparent reason' ☟︎
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i dun have with what to disagree with mp. he wants professional, well-scheduled performance, like e.g. asciilifeform's day job. and he gets it, from diana_coman , whom he employs fulltime. as for asciilifeform & the other 'hangers on', all they've to bring to the table is, i guess, worm shit ?
mp_en_viaje: because you can't go back in time and do anything differently ; if you're married to this "here's my narrative of what i've done", you're a worm, digging out wormholes through the wood or w/e.
mp_en_viaje: retrospective description of activity is THE OPPOSITE of this.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-30 16:28 BingoBoingo: As it is, there's no mention of the MIPS experiment on your blog. Last post is FFA Chapter 19. I suspect if put together a weekly or every other weekly "This is what I've done, here's what I am chewing on, here is what has yet to be bit off, etc" would calm some nerves
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-30#1920916 << nevermind fucking nerves. there is NO OPTIONALITY WHATSOEVER! management is this : "here's a, here's b, do we a or b ?". the whole implementation of rationality in human activity is based on fuckiong choice. ☝︎
mp_en_viaje: which yes, is not the problem of asciilifeform personally. nevertheless, the part where nobody can predict what the fuck's gonna happen and when is one of the strands i believe the ultimate failure aggregate's weaved from.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: for my part 'would much rather people ask why there aint a statue to him, than why there is'
mp_en_viaje: and so following in this fucking vein, we had various hanger-ons being beheaded periodically, who tried to various things just as long as nothing useful, rebrand FG, make website for whatever, utter useless derpitude. deedbot wallet has today all the users it was born with and naught else. far, far from synnergy, and things ratcheting each other out of the swamp, as the grand design demands, we have mutually assisted insignificance on an epic sca
mp_en_viaje: internet goes shitty at the precisely useful moment, what can i do. eventually i get pissed off enough, step away, bbl.
mp_en_viaje: sorry about that.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: yer terminal is firing double shots

mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-30#1920914 << this is rather a structural problem. we had, for years, a "foundation", pompously called nothing, that sat on its ass doing a literal jack shit for however many years until finally managed to bumble onto a collision course. we've had pizarro for years now, and this pizarro has as many customers today as it had yesterday, and last week, and last year -- minus dpb, i guess. ☝︎

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It is a different conversation, but there's a shared thread in http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-30#1920914 the communication problem ☝︎

mp_en_viaje: my memory of the discussion also seems to be that, in summa, alf was gonna learn how to manage others on the well tried hide of BingoBoingo .
a111: Logged on 2019-06-30 15:36 asciilifeform: i presume that erryone who wants to, knows where to find asciilifeform when he is sacked and '!rate -10 once was someone we liked, nao for the knackers' etc. erryone who does not -- plox to write in.
asciilifeform: structure of piz is convo that has to be had, but it is really 2 very diff convos depending on whether http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-30#1920862 or not, so prolly oughta be had 2nd, rather than 1st. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: I am managing the day to day, month to month, but someone with capital has to represent the capital ☟︎
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: he did ?! cuz actually mod6 is atm the majority holder, asciilifeform owes a coin ( to piz, and another 1/3 of coin to mp_en_viaje , will prolly end up having to break open cold store for it )
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: mod6 passed management of the month to month to me and left the chair on high for you
asciilifeform: working from the literal text. where board, consisting of mod6 & asciilifeform , hired BingoBoingo as chairman, with mutual agreement of all parties ( and iirc encouragement of mp_en_viaje & co )
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, so your notion of pizarro is that it's self-managed now ?
a111: Logged on 2019-06-30 16:10 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu aint wrong, most types of tree actually grow faster than asciilifeform's creations. not to mention on steadier schedule.
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-30#1920907 << do you grok the difference between astronomer, who says "tomorrow -- eclypse" and tree, which... simply grows ? ☝︎
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo accepted the chairmanship, entirely in accordance with charter, when old chair abdicated.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, historically, because you draw the charter such.
