mp_en_viaje: 
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-30#1920894 << nope, real
 time is exactly not it. exact same shiot as retrospective, really, purely irrational.
 to be rational, it must be PROSPECTIVE. science makes predictions not "in real
 time" or after
 tjhe fact. BEFORE
 the fact.
 ☝︎ mp_en_viaje: not "run away
 to bedroom because nyah nyah"
 mp_en_viaje: you;re supposed
 to LEARN HOW
 TO make promises. much like you were supposed
 to LEARN HOW
 TO manage BingoBoingo
 mp_en_viaje: wtf is
 this, "i don't like
 the way
 the
 tests results are coming out so ima impugn
 the lab" ? "i'm not fat, i'm just stressed and besides everyone
 this side of ozarks looks like
 this" ?
 mp_en_viaje: what are you doing differently
 to avoid it ?
 mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, you never discussed WHY it just added
 to reputation of charlatan. why did it ?
 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.
 ☟︎ mp_en_viaje: if you bother
 to review
 the source material, you might discover
 that is entirely ~your~ contribution.
 mp_en_viaje: this is business 101, everyone who ever worked with people in any capacity understands it as a necessary part and parcel of what
 their life experience meant ; much like everyone who's ever been
 to
 the doctor understands
 that such contributions as "gimme
 the white round ones,
 they're
 the best" are not proper.
 mp_en_viaje: you HAVE
 TO be able
 to work with others in order
 to make
 things.
 there's no way out of
 this. and you HAVE
 TO be able
 to plan, and execute, and review plans and executions,
 to work with others.
 mp_en_viaje: idn't, so
 this is how i'll be different from now on", it is not POSSIBLE
 to do anything worthy of such lofty names as "sane computing" or even "programmed vcr".
 mp_en_viaje: yes, i'm very much aware "asciilifeform would rather roll out gossipd,
 trbi, sane comp irons, etc. ~with~ participation of mp_en_viaje" etc.
 the problem here is -- you will do no such
 thing. what you will do, instead, is reconfigure your own desk into some sort of shape you and you alone deem meaningful, and
 that's all. because it is not POSSIBLE, for
 the man who can't say either "i will do
 this" and
 then do it, nor "i said i would do
 this, but d
 mp_en_viaje: it's not a matter of "mp". it is a matter
 that, alf as he finds himself, incapable of any rational process besides retrospective description, is not actually in a place where he can do anything with anyone else. exactly like
 the given example of
 the fallen rock.
 mp_en_viaje: you have been, systematically if ineffectually (though i'm sure it looks exactly
 the other way from inside) attempting
 to escape management.
 this is an unhealthy state of affairs, and one
 that bars you from meaningful interaction with other people.
 mp_en_viaje: management is only useful for rational agents, which is
 to say,
 they who do not expect
 to form some kind of personal relationship with it ; but instead use it, which is
 to say, permit it
 to operate upon
 them.
 mp_en_viaje: management is
 the art and practice of optimizing known processes, and of reducing all phenomena
 to known processes.
 that's all it is, and all it does. it is a mighty useful
 thing,
 too, but not for everyone.
 mp_en_viaje: management is exactly
 the same
 thing : a rational process. it is for
 the same exact cause just exactly as disinterested in your personality, your worldview, or
 the mask you put on
 things
 to make it possible
 to get out of bed in
 the morning.
 mp_en_viaje: ense of revolutionarizing
 the fundamentals.
 mp_en_viaje: if you proceed
 to explain
 to him how you don't feel urine
 tests are an adequate measure of your kidneys, because
 they're made of light and so something with a stroboscope would be rather preferable, he's going simply output a mental health specialist recommendation. because he does not care what you say ; he does not care what you
 think ;
 the process you are engaging in by going
 to
 the doctor is not open
 to your intellectual contribution in
 the s
 mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, looky, management is a rational activity. like medicine. when you go
 to
 the doctor's office, irrespective of what you say, he's going
 to seek
 the answer
 to a very specific set of questions, which he has pre-determined, and which he is not adjusting
 to you in any way -- on
 the contrary.
 BingoBoingo: Log archaeology
 to follow old yet ongoing
 threads has a cost. Blog posts, even if
 they aren't substantially more
 than index cards manage
 to reduce
 the cost of substantially.
 BingoBoingo: Having
 the MIPS
 thing in
 the log is good, but
 taking good stuff out of
 the log for
 the blog
 to highlight and more easily find later is a value add.
 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
 ☟︎ BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It seems
 to be
 that
 the problem is MP is stuck in a "Wat do?" loop.
 diana_coman: asciilifeform:
 that's not an answer
 to my question, is it;
 there is
 that direct contradiction
 there, right? it can't just be waived because whatever and it precisely points at
 the fact
 that
 the problem is not about "sacking asciilifeform" really.

 the article where it specifically says asciilifeform NOT sacked, nor
 to be sacked because
 that's nonsense given NSA's main purpose.

  a111: Logged on 2019-06-22 13:46 diana_coman: asciilifeform: I did and I even found it easier
 than previous material
 though I'm not sure why;
 diana_coman: asciilifeform: no; and communication is both-ways, includes reading what others say not what
 the reader
 thinks.
 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, it does not count. because it is ~retrospective~.
 this is how rocks communicate, "i can't speak for other hunks, but so far i hurtled
 three miles downhill"

http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-22#1919162 << can't speak for other folx, but asciilifeform wrote 7 ch. of ffa
 thus far in '19 (featuring errything
 to do with primes, and all of peh, plus
 tutorials on
 the latter) and expect
 to wrap up 8th (# 20) before june is out.
  mircea_popescu: i dunno, atm im figuring some
 time and a re-read is
 the only
 ticket.
 diana_coman: asciilifeform: no; get
 through
 that it's about communication not about amount of work put in.
 diana_coman: I'm keeping silent because I'm at a loss as
 to how
 to get
 through
 to asciilifeform
 mircea_popescu: the core of
 that article is
 trinque 's lament, not your feelings as
 to
 the world and your adequacy in it.
 the man has a point -- large and round and not something we can afford
 to ignore.
 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform,
 try and
 think about
 the actual problem being discussed, rather
 than some simpler problem you feel more at ease with and everyone else should be retarded enough
 to permit
 the replacement with.

 this
 the available variants ? metaphore ?
