mircea_popescu: most people don't amount to much in this life ; but to manage to amount to ~ a negative value ~ it really fucking takes some negative IQ.
mircea_popescu: being retarded has, over being THIS fucking stupid, the serious advantage of 50 or so IQ points.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, holy shit, these morons. "oh we just want to get along". WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU HERE.
mircea_popescu: spyked, not ignoring ; replacing. THAT is why diehard, otherwise who the fuck cares.
mircea_popescu: turns out there's no actual reads worth the mention online.
mircea_popescu: how did that go, "to obtain random strings on linux, give a windows person vim and ask them to exit"
mircea_popescu: jurov, pretty cool, let me know when you want it tested
mircea_popescu: "the world", don't you know. which world ? "oh, you know, the imaginary item we produced". what we ?
mircea_popescu: but obviously, one direct measure of "getting away from marxism-leninism" is "how much shit needs stalin notes".
mircea_popescu: and yet the pretense is ~every fucking time~ that "science" and bla bla.
mircea_popescu: there's meaning derived from meaning and then there's meaning derived from authority, and the shitgnomes trying to pretend equality only confuses matters.
mircea_popescu: the concept of "political dependency" is actually a rather important one. it most valuably organizes the world.
mircea_popescu: nobody's saying we don't have the parts or that they can't be made or anything.
mircea_popescu: you were there for the threads, neh, diana_coman working with ave1 to get it going ?
mircea_popescu: so far we're having some trouble getting the whole shebang to do eulora server, and so on.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, the issue isn't whether we should have proper rt comms ; the issue is why the fuck would i want an intermediate step here. i don't, it's a great way to waste manhours.
mircea_popescu: wtf do i want to reimplement bs irc, end up with a dead genesis that we won't use.
mircea_popescu: trinque, the whole fucking idea is to replace it once and good, with gossipd.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: which is what's his interest in all this, i dunno why he recently figured out he wants a special irc network.
mircea_popescu: trinque, eventually, the cost of inept hoops exceeds the cost of let's just move.
mircea_popescu: we specifically took out the gribble "functionality" of "auth state" ; nanotube was to fix his bot to match but then opted to silently not to, ended up negrated for it.
mircea_popescu: so... we've actually designed around them. dun dun dun.
mircea_popescu: there's no "auth". there's just voice. and as douchebag aptly pointed out, if you change the name nothing happens.
mircea_popescu: the true part (there's no threat to account security) comes from the fact we don't even use their derpy scheme.
mircea_popescu: there's 20k or whatever who connect, and 99% of the humans involved are on #trilema, it's ridiculous.
mircea_popescu: anyway. rather than the transparent shenanigans, it is of greater concern that ~no one is on freenode. i mean, the fucktards in #lisp still, TO THIS DAY, haven't yet figured their way out of the paper bag of my asking "hey folk, would you like a candi_lustt ?".
mircea_popescu: i'm just talking about the one they themselves identified, 3 years ago or so.
mircea_popescu: especially the 2nd order effect of "mandated post-mortems", none of that inept shit where freenode announces it was nsa infected, promises write-up, then forgets it did and replaces everyone involved.
mircea_popescu: item is far, far from "no marginal utility", identified a bunch of significant valuable outputs from it.
mircea_popescu: and if it blows up, in lieu of the product you give the victims a signed full description of what happened.
mircea_popescu: "nothing over 1 btc plox, we're using a friable stack"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, hey, at least documenting the lulz "everyone knows" where everyone takes value from the set of 5 folk who went to the same state street kindergarten we did...
mircea_popescu: the marginal utility is not 0, ill throw some ex-coin in the hopper if it's made.
mircea_popescu: note that i was talking to jurov. considering he's intelligent and seems maybe interested (hard to tell, he's so quiet), and considering he's not currently doing anything, the marginal cost in republican terms is 0.
mircea_popescu: what if girly in $advertising twiddled her nose and went "meh..." ?!
mircea_popescu: they don't earnestly try. that's the fucking point, when presented a paper car you don't ernestly try to drive it ; when presented a "social justice" truth / "Global warming" science etc religious nonsense you don't earnestly try to verify it. you're supposed to be excited and fucking clap, what the fuck, they're filming the advertising not asking you what you think.
mircea_popescu: girls keep betting me they can distinguish the two apart, and then that's the last i hear on the matter.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, imo american psycho should be watched in tandem with naked city. perfect america sandwich.
mircea_popescu: (and obviously the choice will also be illusory, for the fundamental reason explained by qt in reservoir dogs : "if nobody knows anyone they're going to start arguing on scarce resource division ~AND NOT KNOW WHEN TO BACK DOWN~". nobody knows WHY they don't get to go to $exclusiverestaurant when they want to. nor can they know. so there's nothing to talk about.)
mircea_popescu: well, his principal problem isn't even that ; but rather that there isn't ~anything fucking there~. he'd like to have some sort of relationship with someone, but the problem is that he does not actually encounter anyone capable of it.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: in the end the summum of concerns boils down to "whose gray-on-white business card is better".
mircea_popescu: "we here in america, colony of europe, think 7th grade schooling is great accomplishment"
mircea_popescu: yeah, it's uniformly terrible. as it happens i just rewatched the original american psycho.
mircea_popescu: what the fuck is that, using the human genome to implement a bird, give or take ?
mircea_popescu: well, "poet", whatever. sorta like going around saying you're a homemaker.
mircea_popescu: the coupla hundred bucks is a problem in the feverish imaginations of campy characters scratching at the windows of the blackface performance.
mircea_popescu: i thought it was mostly wank published by various french people ~about~ the funny friday fellow that someone imported to his salon.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the foggiest of the foggy memories, jesus. but the mind will associate! through a fucking million lines, it will associate.
