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. ☝︎
asciilifeform: waitasec, he's the chair, why asciilifeform is to manage him ?
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: gimme a break, the infantile copouts.
asciilifeform: left off making promises which i dun have the resources to make good on, is all of it
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: this pos sure picked the time to be flaky
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: then what was topic ? the lack of a per-ch release calendar ? attempted already, all it did is to add to asciilifeform's reputation as charlatan. and for that matter i dun recall any successes among the other folx with day jobs re multiweek calendars for pro-bono worx.
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.
asciilifeform: entirely willing to work with people, review plans, etc. but if mp_en_viaje declares ' i have snails here in terrarium faster than asciilifeform ' then i have no counter-argument, what sorta counter could there be.
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.
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.
asciilifeform: incidentally to tie in old thread, http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-22#1919350 ☝︎
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 ☟︎
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.
BingoBoingo: This loop is stuck, not because of the quality of your products, but because of the indeterminate schedule of your communications concerning the work. This problem shares a lot with the June 22nd worries http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-22#1919151 ☝︎☟︎☟︎☟︎
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It seems to be that the problem is MP is stuck in a "Wat do?" loop.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i'ma go to tea, and perhaps during this either someone deigns to cut the binomial into pieces that fit in asciilifeform's head, or will fit by itself, or not.
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.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: '...and in time close this one down. Fundamentally, the problem with intelligent people is that their flaws are unfixable -- were they fixable they'd have fixed them by now, and since they didn't fix them before they're not gonna start at any later point, and certainly not because they like you or something.' ?
asciilifeform: e.g. ffa , if counted from when asciilifeform first started the notebook and blew dust off knuth, is 3 y.o. nao.
diana_coman: asciilifeform: you tell me how can you draw "this inference" given http://trilema.com/2019/no-such-labs-snsa-statement-on-q2-2019/#selection-427.119-427.240 that specifically and directly contradicts it?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu aint wrong, most types of tree actually grow faster than asciilifeform's creations. not to mention on steadier schedule. ☟︎
asciilifeform: diana_coman: how to read e.g. http://trilema.com/2019/no-such-labs-snsa-statement-on-q2-2019/#selection-427.42-433.35 w/out drawing this inference ?
a111: Logged on 2019-06-30 15:54 diana_coman read 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 2019-06-30 16:06 asciilifeform: diana_coman: plox to do asciilifeform the favour and spell it out as if he were the quasi-retarded 5yo that apparently all of the participants in $thread suspect that he is
diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-30#1920899 -> you just did it right here; tell me where exactly did I "suspect" such a thing; and see http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-30#1920874 . ☝︎☝︎
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i rec to wait an' see what mircea_popescu et al say -- maybe asciilifeform is a tard and has no biz handling irons, maybe oughta shine shoes
a111: Logged on 2019-06-30 15:44 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'm at the tail end of the necessary cycle, was gonna order the irons this wk, and book the flight -- next, but would first rather find out mp_en_viaje's plan
BingoBoingo: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-30#1920864 << asciilifeform the thing to do seems to be bias towards action. Get iron racked, but also get a mechanical people scoop going. ☝︎
asciilifeform: diana_coman: plox to do asciilifeform the favour and spell it out as if he were the quasi-retarded 5yo that apparently all of the participants in $thread suspect that he is ☟︎
diana_coman: asciilifeform: when *you are the reader*!
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;
asciilifeform: diana_coman: what to do when readers are silent ? e.g. all i have re 2019 ch's is diana_coman's http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-22#1919204 , thus far. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2019-06-06 15:38 asciilifeform: for completeness : output from variant with only sections 1 .. 8 of the multiprimorial ; eight 2048bit primes in 4m10.188s .
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: how'bout e.g. http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-06#1917567 ? was announced in real time as it went. ☝︎☟︎
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"
asciilifeform: or a ch20 where the mistakes not fixed ? ( instead of proofreading, asciilifeform is having this-here thread... )
asciilifeform: loox like something else ? does diana_coman want e.g. the mips draft, what w/ some unknown % of bugginess ? for what ?
a111: Logged on 2019-06-22 13:39 asciilifeform: 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.
asciilifeform: i dun know how to photosynthesize, diana_coman .
asciilifeform: diana_coman: also dun hesitate to elaborate. 'get through' re what? 'quit that day job, live on sunlight?'
diana_coman: I'm keeping silent because I'm at a loss as to how to get through to asciilifeform
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if i've failed to apprehend the actual item, dun hesitate to elaborate, asciilifeform is grown-up and can be relied on not to cry
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.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i dun have a wunderwaffe up my sleeve that'd allow me to work 4x faster, or wunderwaffe of such kind that 'do not sack, i have this-here wunderwaffe!'
asciilifeform: diana_coman: maybe he oughta be sacked ! who am i to say
a111: Logged on 2019-06-30 07:07 asciilifeform would like to bake new batch of sellable goodies , after we release peh/ffa
asciilifeform: ( next item was to be http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-30#1920848 ) ☝︎
diana_coman read the article where it specifically says asciilifeform NOT sacked, nor to be sacked because that's nonsense given NSA's main purpose. ☟︎
asciilifeform: asciilifeform's original conveyor consisted of 'wrap peh to usability in battlefield by end of summer' and 'deliver irons to piz' (ditto, interval) . both on track atm. the former on track even if asciilifeform sacked, the latter will have to be reworked, if ditto.
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 ? ☟︎
mp_en_viaje: "personally i'd rather put fish on the fish counters" << is this the available variants ? metaphore ?
asciilifeform: pretty sure i described the available variants. what did i miss ?
asciilifeform: 'in my country there's a problem!'(tm)(r)
a111: Logged on 2019-06-15 19:08 asciilifeform back to ffaism, after short 'vacation' . will order piz irons in coming 2wk, as the req'd fiatola piles up
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'm at the tail end of the necessary cycle, was gonna order the irons this wk, and book the flight -- next, but would first rather find out mp_en_viaje's plan ☝︎☟︎
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 would rather roll out gossipd, trbi, sane comp irons, etc. ~with~ participation of mp_en_viaje , and with working isp, than w/out. but may have to without, apparently.
asciilifeform: personally i'd rather put fish on the fish counters, imho the resources for this are there. but it aint actually ~my~ fish counter, i just catch fish for it ( with no boat an' no net, but with bare hands. )
asciilifeform: an' we did have a dress rehearsal, of a kind, for this, in '17.
asciilifeform: next will sack... himself? and retire to memoirs ?
asciilifeform: next will sack the remaining orchestra of folx who can't meet train station timetable on acct of slaving in saeculum;
asciilifeform: next mp_en_viaje will 'sack' the 30% of piz that snsa owns, an' take smg (the item that functions on proper schedule, like train station, where the employees actually paid and dun slave in saeculum) to heathen isp;
asciilifeform: asciilifeform will be sacked, will have to find a new place to receive 0.0000 paystubs with generous helpings of being shat on for working for a living in saeculum;
asciilifeform: sooo mp_en_viaje doesn't like running sovok fish counter circa 1991, where there aint any fish. and per the charter, owns in effect 100% of controlling shares, so entirely his decision.

a111: Logged on 2018-07-26 03:58 mod6: !!invoice mircea_popescu 0.22505299 S.NSA colocation (dulap) through June 2019
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-26#1837808 << apparently this is so, colocation only comes due next month. ☝︎
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, check http://trilema.com/2019/no-such-labs-snsa-february-2019-statement/#selection-31.0-285.12 with me, so we actually had 0 movement of any kind throughout march, april, may, june ?
mp_en_viaje: they have little magazines dedicated to mutual stroking of the achieve-envy-fail-gloat cycle, it's all there.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-30 00:41 trinque: BingoBoingo: like "someday I'll post such a great pic on instagram I'll have the likes to buy a flat in miami" or what
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-30#1920660 << absofuckinlutely & literally. "stars", whole subculture, about half the girls that look like one could be bothered to fuck them sober. ☝︎
asciilifeform: who gave the poison is even entirely other puzzler. ( 'mainstream' dogma btw is 'what poison!?' )
