shinohai: yeah only noticed
the np after i had ctrl+v'd
BingoBoingo: shinohai: Pls no np links
to reddit. Strip out
the no so if people wanna manipulate voats with bots or socks
they can without getting
them banned.
davout: and re
the hot wallet, kakobrekla sent it
to me, and it was added
to
the 'currently under my control' part of
the cash

to more prosaic concerns, hey mod6 ben_vulpes what's gonna be in
this month's foundation report ?
phf: trinque: actual state machine is a bit more elaborate, but atm incomplete. i'm writing it so
that bot is entirely driven by
the state machine, but right now only connected, ping/pong and disconnect parts are
thought
through
phf: it measures
time since *last-pong* on each
tick, and if more
then some
time passed it sends out ping with current
time and goes into waiting-ping state
trinque: phf: what'd you end up changing in
that ping/pong code?
mircea_popescu: but back
to more prosaic concerns, hey mod6 ben_vulpes what's gonna be in
this month's foundation report ?
☟︎☟︎ diana_coman: I'm still internally filtering a list of people I
think might be most interested
diana_coman: jay borenstein, he's
the initiator of Open Academy as far as I know (I don't know him personally)
diana_coman: basically
there is Open Academy
that apparently works
to some extent - by
that I mean it gets some students
to do something useful over a few months with mentors from respective OS projects
diana_coman: hmmm, borenstein is with stanford I
think?
diana_coman: and it kind of got onto me because of all
this current academia apparent strive
towards "using OS as a way
to get students develop wider skills and be more ready for industry" stuff; see open academy etc
mircea_popescu: it seems rather obvious
that a bunch of undergrads would prefer
to hack on a game over any and all other possible
tasks
they could get. not sure
this point needs further argument, but if it does, prolly
the blockhead in question not fit for white collar work anyway.
diana_coman: asciilifeform, my not-yet-fully-formed idea was
that it offers a. meaning hence interest from students b. active and responsive channel hence support c. wider experience (aka mystical "industry skillz" we need more of) d. (or overall) actually getting
them into a wot
that yeah, supports learning and not only
tech either
mircea_popescu: in
this sense no one could ever do anything. heck, i can't explain why roses are fun and enlightening either.
mircea_popescu: jurov more or less bolted scheme on
the
thing from what i hear. some other guy whose programming experience consists of flash reskinned
the client in a coupla days.
mircea_popescu: they can make a perl bot
to bid in irc auctions ffs. anything
they want,
they can make.
mircea_popescu: they can make a smaller part ; or a method
to do x. for
that matter hooks are exposed and more or less documented.
mircea_popescu: they can make
their own node.js client, who cares what
tech
they use.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you gotta give kids soemthign
to do, right ?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well
the
tools aren't
there
to replace it yet.
mircea_popescu: can just meld it off eulora, get more class participation while watching more dr who or w/e
tyhe fuck it is
they do./
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform none of
that.
teacher has
to make up a fucking
teaching plan, and establish curricula and scoring criteria and whatnot.
THIS IS WORK
BingoBoingo: AHA! mircea_popescu has a side effect of supporting
the entrenchment of English
through Eulora!
mircea_popescu: at
the core it is - you get
the chance
to offload most of your actual work on a private company.
diana_coman: I
think what is difficult
to grok at all
there is what exactly (even in broad
terms) is
the offering - what is
this millenium of code challenge at core
mircea_popescu: thinking of
text in "ai"
terms,
the more complex
the graph / strlen,
the
tenser.
mircea_popescu: seems a serious loss, as
the convo is very
tense in
the original, and i doubt anyone but
they involved even has
the priors
to grok wtf is being said.
mircea_popescu: on
the other hand, i have nfi how
to make it shorter. i guess
the irc
transcript could be made
to go away ?
mircea_popescu: well on one hand shoving it under door seems a miserable plan
to me. if you can't say
to some guy "hey, look into
this!" prolly best not molest 'em
diana_coman: fwiw I
think asciilifeform has a point
there
mircea_popescu: to get under
the "hey
this is
too long for me
to read - i'm in academia damnit"
mircea_popescu: i was going for
this entire "keep it short and notify"
mircea_popescu: it ensured
their survival
throughout otherwise very unfriendly history, and it is and likely will remain
the central pillar of female socialisation and social behaviour.
they wail.
mircea_popescu: there's
this group behaviour,
the female wail. go into a group and shoot one in
the head. see what happens.
mircea_popescu: who
the fuck asked a bunch of retarded 14 yo females anything ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform when i was a kid in middle school,
there was
this red headed 14 yo
that "everyone knew" was A
TOTAL WHORE.
a111: Logged on 2016-04-10 15:58 mircea_popescu: it's
these specific lobotomies
that allow "certain kinds" of societies
to function.
mircea_popescu: (now guess why puritans like
to pretend like
the brothel is damnation, notwithstanding it is intricately linked
to all stories of individual success -
take paris for your instance.
mircea_popescu: also very cheap gauge. no need
to risk your head - if
the working girls don't worship you, best stay in school.
mircea_popescu: which is why whore (the real kind,
that actually works - as opposed
to what
the female group wail purports) is in all
times and places
the young leader's best and most
trustworthy ally.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but
this also makes you more likely
to put in
the work
to
tmsr.
phf: "eww, mcdonalds, lets go
to
tgis instead"
mircea_popescu: "ever wanted
to eat couch airplane food on land ? HERE IT IS"
mircea_popescu: shitty chain of fast food pretending
to be a restaurant
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
there are more confounding factors for whores.
take simple example : you're paid
to eat, but have
to eat
the food
the sponsor pays for. what if you
think
tgi
tuesdays is meh ?
mats: 30% drop over
two weeks!1
mircea_popescu: hey, last
time euro dropped 1% in a day, you couldn't get out of
the fucking "o noes europe is
teh end" usg agitprop
shinohai: thx as well BingoBoingo I never miss an opportunity
to lol at ETH
