mp_en_viaje: yeah.
they're
this cloud of idiots,
this dude, graham, jobs,
they all wear stupid clothes and aim
to impress
the gullible public by a certain style of fireworks.
mp_en_viaje: Kinds of
truth “Gravity’s not just a good idea, it’s
the law.” << check out
the schmuck, "oh, here, nobody will notice pantsuitist pretense, let's
talk about how gravity is
the law. because hilary mcloser voted it!!!"
stjohn_piano_2: mp_en_viaje: makes sense. i don't
think i'm a good choice for advertising work.
mp_en_viaje: stjohn_piano_2, aite. i guess you're fated
to
thicken
the rows of
techs
then.
stjohn_piano_2: asciilifeform: i learned early on
that he who has
the money gets
to decide what
to spend it on.
stjohn_piano_2: asciilifeform: i agree. goal was
to make "cnc mill for consumers" i.e. cheap.
mp_en_viaje: stjohn_piano_2, so what did you go
to school for ?
mp_en_viaje: "One of
the most popular in
the world 7,000 posts so far, more
than a million readers." ; dude's still going, check him out. les keks.
stjohn_piano_2: although for speech rec, it was small company (my father), so I also did bookkeeping, reading about
taxes, setting up computers, etc.
stjohn_piano_2: speech rec company: learned
to build /
tune /test speech rec systems (nuance, grxml). ran
transcription projects for
the
test data. wrote statistical sampler scripts for
the output.
mp_en_viaje: stjohn_piano_2, so mechanical engineer for factory and
then software engineer for sound recording
thing ?
mp_en_viaje: apparently
those are easy
to get, in usgistan.
then again... long standing
tradition, who still recalls
the "tribes" genius.
stjohn_piano_2: mp_en_viaje: furniture factory: i studied all
the components i was given and
tried
to make
them work
together: so, camera, computer, motion controller, servomotors, wiring etc.
mp_en_viaje: aha. but i meant since, made a "ycombinator"
thing.
mp_en_viaje: his forray into business however, is sadly reminiscent of
tucker max.
a111: Logged on 2019-05-16 18:04 mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, if you
think about it, not only common, but forced because necessary.
the human condition in postmodernism, as "lost on a raft atop sea of nonsense" kinda forces
the
tribe's expendable labour (ie, young males) into
the "quickly search
through large portions of sea"
mp_en_viaje: tho i suspect other guy wrote, graham
talked.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, more like in 90s, didn't
they write a lisp-web
thing ?
mp_en_viaje: stjohn_piano_2, ok, but what did you do for
them ? accounting ?
stjohn_piano_2: speec rec company wanted
transcription projects
to
test
the speech systems.
stjohn_piano_2: furniture factory wanted
to see if
they could make and sell a cnc mini-mill.
stjohn_piano_2: ah. actually
two businesses. one was a furniture factory, one did speech rec system
tuning.
mp_en_viaje: so basically you were involved in one small biz, and it had something or
the other
to do with digitization, or w/e in
that vein.
stjohn_piano_2: I've done: writing python scripts
to sort large amounts of
transcription data, running
transcription projects, setting up raspberry-pi-powered cameras, figuring out what
to do about gdpr, bookkeeping.
mp_en_viaje: ever since
that graham scammer completely lost it, and started whining about some idiots who "handmade cereal boxes
to sell
their idea"
a111: Logged on 2019-05-16 17:51 stjohn_piano_2: i have unfortunately worked mostly in small businesses, making me something of a "learn
this
thing quickly well enough
to get it
to do X function".
mp_en_viaje: anyway, here's a consultancy i'm willing
to hire you for : find some place
that a) doesn't suck and b) offers a good price
to advertise
trilema on. large venues only ; none of
the pompous bullshit. bulk adult
traffic would do fine for instance, maybe
talk
to
the juicyads dorks.
stjohn_piano_2: strange. doing
the operation again with
the original OTP still produces
the error.
mp_en_viaje: well he'll be hard pressed
to do it here if unvoiced, lol
mp_en_viaje: speaking of slave labour, naked girls in my room packing my shirts. "watch, like
this. see ?"
stjohn_piano_2: ah. first
time -> opened link in browser, copied
text into file. did not use curl.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, seems inconceivable
the nick was pre-registered ?!
stjohn_piano_2: so my working assumption is
that
the priv is in fact
the right one.
stjohn_piano_2: asciilifeform: have exported pub-derived-from-priv and diffed it with pub-downloaded-from-deedbot. no difference other
than "Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux)".
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, if you
think about it, not only common, but forced because necessary.
the human condition in postmodernism, as "lost on a raft atop sea of nonsense" kinda forces
the
tribe's expendable labour (ie, young males) into
the "quickly search
through large portions of sea"
☟︎ stjohn_piano_2: asciilifeform: i have imported
the corresponding priv. will now export pub and confirm
that it's
the same as
the one in deedbot.
stjohn_piano_2: i've abandoned
the stateless commands and am using
the basic stuff.
a111: Logged on 2019-05-16 17:58 mp_en_viaje: did you yourself do
that btw ?
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, he prolly registered
they main but gpg wants
to use
the sub (or vice-versa, i dun recall which
this was)
stjohn_piano_2: puzzler: why
the key ID in
the otp message is C8EFFF13, while my key's fingerprint is 599152AC. importing
the private key into gpg produces (in gpg --list-keys)
the correct key ID 599152AC. diffing
the key returned by deedbot with my public key shows no difference.
mp_en_viaje: certainly displays
the patience required,
to, eg, make a quite pretty mp-wp clone in python.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-05 16:52 mircea_popescu: well,
there's
that old "as i became a man i put
the
things of childhood aside". "something else", you know ? not a girl, no, but who knows what
terror ?!
mp_en_viaje: stjohn_piano_2, in a sense,
the issue here you'll now have
to
transition into maturity.
stjohn_piano_2: i guess i could say
that i'm very good at reading a lot of material and picking out
the bit
that is necessary for a problem.
stjohn_piano_2: i have unfortunately worked mostly in small businesses, making me something of a "learn
this
thing quickly well enough
to get it
to do X function".
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2019-05-16 17:48 mp_en_viaje: so look, and i hope you don't
take
this
the wrong way (a hope mostly fed by your claim
to have read
the logs) : you're a guy with an evident humanities / non-technical background
trying
to get something going, start a company, all
that stuff. nothing wrong with
that. you are however currently beset by
two prongs of problem. one is
that in your quest
to do something, you often do
things
that are getting in your own way --
there's no benefit for you f
mp_en_viaje: now --
the 2nd is probably more approachable.
mp_en_viaje: the other prong is
that you don't actually have anything you can compete in. slave labour or no slave labour, she does it in five hours and you don't.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: And a lot of people advertising for "transcription" aren't
the sort equipped
to decode cultureal artifacts
mp_en_viaje: rom all
the pomp of "datafeed article 103," etc. it just clunks up your
thought process. i know you don'
tthink so, familiarity breeds a feeling of safety etc. but it's absolutely never worth it
to have more shit
than you need.

☟︎ stjohn_piano_2: asciilifeform:
this computer doesn't have a djvu reader, but i have no doubt
that it's painful.
BingoBoingo: human-powered ocr has a high error rate when
the wrong bipeds are involved
