asciilifeform: will admit, even as a boy was thoroughly puzzled, 'for what do they need us in usa, why invited?'
asciilifeform: i.e. cultivation of 'axe handles' in orclands using miami inhabitants as 'live bait'.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, as near as i can tell plan was never to "use" in any meaningful sense, certainly not anything beyond "these are '''winners'''' of tournament market, aspire, aspire, aspire!"
mp_en_viaje: prolly being financed by usg.blue as "useful subversives".
asciilifeform: as mp_en_viaje prolly already knew decades ago, 'vhs amer' is ~religion for sovok orcs.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: will. and BingoBoingo as i understand piz is paying for transport ? ( rather , asciilifeform pays, asciilifeform owes piz, plox to credit it , when billed , against his tab )
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: speaking of the (entirely fair) 'customers, motherfuckers' prod from mp_en_viaje : i'ma take the smg broadcast as official marching order re the machine delivery, and make the purchases, so we've what to sell . ( and on that front, the mips item is ready for war. i'ma also need to cuntoo . )
asciilifeform: in sovok world, detectable shortage of males as such.
mp_en_viaje: mostly other-nordic kids, who apparently are just as fucked in the head, but stuck with a more functional country against their will.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, according to multiple sources, not nearly as used to be.
mp_en_viaje: in other local flavour : a) never in life seen so many drunks ambling about, not even in ro 90s, not in moscow 90s, never. this place is something else. b) never before seen radical feminist hairdo that works well! they have them here, just complimented girl on her peculiar shaved sides with thick braid on top of head. cute as fuck.
mp_en_viaje: item belongs as a museum of european stupidity.
BingoBoingo: Nordic system: hardscarbble derps derping along to soften hard environment imagine the tourists want their accomodations to mimic Nordic austerity hell as well
feedbot: http://trilema.com/2019/how-the-good-folk-at-kj%c3%b8lberggata-29b-0653-oslo-norway-dba-variously-as-central-city-apartments-kampenhotellno-reise-byra-bala-suman-balasundaram-etcetera-attempt-to-scam-me-we/ << Trilema -- How the good folk at Kjlberggata 29B, 0653 Oslo, Norway (dba variously as "Central City Apartments", "kam...no", "REISE BYR BALA SUMAN BALASUNDARAM" etcetera) attempt to scam me went ; what dealing with Oslo police is l
mp_en_viaje: incidentally, does anyone recall the (i suspect antique) trilema piece where various things (such as, insane us medical """costs"'") were explained in terms of "whenever one party pays and another party benefits you get chaos" ?
asciilifeform: notbad, approx same as here. (and presumably 10x cheaper)
bvt: hello. i have also prepared a work schedule document; however internet at my workplace died this week, will post the plan as soon as the internet goes back up; the plan for next two weeks is to get to ffa14b, update asm code to it; after that, i will have a look at some other work.
mp_en_viaje: then these completely inconsequential morons come to the republic and pretend to act as if the roles are completely reversed! as if they're some kinda big deal, as if the republic were anything other than their eternal lord and master.
mp_en_viaje: as you can see, lofty topics, aerated pretense, serious fucking problems. a clash of civilisation altogether, the hopes and dreams of hu-midity revolting against the hu-manity and its constraints! oh-wee!
mp_en_viaje: just as importantly : that "the state" and "laws and regulations", ie this complex construction of precious cuntlets supposedly there to guarantee them costless independence, ie that they can go around dressed as if they;re whores (by which "dressed" we mean -- having a cunt between the legs, that's all the dressing required for [http://trilema.com/2010/sa-invatam-limba-rusa-blyad/#selectio
mp_en_viaje: and the ~content~ of that grandiosely transmitted message, with such grandeur as we have discussed let it not be forgotten, was that the pretense to independence requires the acts of independence!!! the precious cuntlets can't place the burden of their own independence on others not even when it comes to "who calls who"! THEY have to call, if they want to be "human persons, just like men are".
mp_en_viaje: shock and awe, a bunch of idle cuntlets went to new york to "be journalists" aka "do whatever the fuck i please all day as if i were mp" only to discover mp is mp because mp, not because new york, and cowpoke girl from indiana doesn't get away from HAVING TO suck cock just because got away from indiana.
mp_en_viaje: increasingly the internet becomes a pantsuit translation skin upon the world, giving such a worldview as could be digested by a specific sort of ideologically-hobbled moron and naught else.
mp_en_viaje: fucking internet. 100% of all occurences of "paranoid delusion" are retconned into "delusional disorder", notwithstanding the term of art has ~century of bibliography behind it and the latter nonsense was invented last decade-ish in one of those inconsequential meetings of the usgistani retards posing as dosctors on no basis.
mp_en_viaje: a rich king with no barons is in just as dubious position as henry the young king, with his hall fulla heroic figures and no two pennies to set a meal before them. you absolutely must have money ~and connections~, there is strictly no doctor's note to get you out of this one, and don't go looking for it either.
mp_en_viaje: a statement like "0 political connections" ~impugns~ you. this is a flaw of yours ; you're welcome to remedy it whichever way you choose, such as moving to an easier and cheaper map. but if you move not to remedy but to persevere in your error... well pardon me, error is error, such a thing as an alternate world which works in alternate ways and your error is no longer sinful hasn't been found yet.
mp_en_viaje: "just as it was starting to really take off".
mp_en_viaje: well, a large part of the problem then was also that the ~meaning~ of wealth changed. wealth as a concept in the space occupied later by the sovient union had starting to diverge as early as 1600s, with the aparition of the khutor
mp_en_viaje: just because we moved to keccak from sha because ~of concerns~ (which are sound) does not actually mean sha is weak, as far as we know. and so following.
mp_en_viaje: just because sha256 is theoretically AN INFINITY OF TIMES easier to break than sha512 does not in fact mean you can break either as you stand today.
mp_en_viaje: you could, similarily, be gnawed to death by rats. this is paranoia, plain and simple ; if it fixes on "other people" you move to rural texas (or w/e, rural ok, as the dpb case may be). if it fixes on "packets" you move to whatever, cabin in woods like the unabomber guy. if it fixes on corn you move to sugarcane country... but seriously now, paranoid delusion shouldn't be the driver of man's activity.
billymg: that's why somewhere further away, politically and geographically. otherwise could just as well get land in rural texas if plan is to simply respond "no"
mp_en_viaje: payin bitcoin "taxes" because fiatards told you to requires exactly the same mental processes as "buying" brooklyn bridge because street urchins told you to ; or not eating lobster because teacup-in-the-sky told you to.
mp_en_viaje: the only real danger is, your brain rotting into the sad shape where you'd actually pay ; or think such a thing as paying is conceivable.
mp_en_viaje: " This being said, there is as always plenty of space for doing better at this, certainly, especially since I know very well how much worse it was before I specifically set about to make it better, step by step" << diana_coman on the everquest
mp_en_viaje: such as, for isntance, not owning it.
asciilifeform: ( as amply documented by mp_en_viaje ) being 'in better position to evaluate $risk' is often ~bad thing~
mp_en_viaje: sooo... i might be the only person in the world to be hit on by their 19yo ~stewardess~, but it fucking happened. as i'm sitting in line to get a local phone sim, this bubbly chick is all "oh, i flew you yesterday, remember me ???"
BingoBoingo: As far as residency and how to get non-US ID goes, that varies from place to place.
billymg: i was viewing real estate "investment" as one of them
billymg: i have coin as well, and for that the same fear. if not surrounded by some acres then easier to get to
billymg: BingoBoingo: to buy, as that seems like the easiest way to get money out of the reich without raising eyebrows
billymg: mp_en_viaje: i'm speaking to a realtor in cr soon about some listings, i was hoping to get your thoughts on one of the listings as well as general feedback/guidance on my strategy. i've included some details about my current situation to provide more context. if you could find the time to review please and give advice it would be immensely helpful: http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/eC3ir/?raw=true
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, bison still in poland, that vodka i mentioned is made somehow from some fields where bison roams, as per tradition.
mp_en_viaje: and as the girls were in trouble, five minutes later runner busts through the door to face me, coincidentally standing in the halway with my pants unbuttoned and a crop in my hand, while one girl naked and the other skirt rolled up to her belybuitton facing me...
mp_en_viaje: they do things slightly differently around here, had a guy waiting in the street as i showed up, to do various errands for me ; eventually i sent him off to bring more keys and assorted odds and ends (be right back, 5 minute!!!)
diana_coman: over longer term there is for sure some adapting to different temperatures going on as now I'd struggle even at 30 quite quickly and certainly much more than I used to do ages ago.
lobbes: btw BingoBoingo feel free to use my blog as an example of rockchip hosting if you'd like
BingoBoingo: That's likely to get more interest from the outside. May get the corruption pump going which is kinda what we stalled out on with the Republic as salaryman's hobby.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, as I compile this market profile for public consumption it is clear that when pizarro churner pushing copy, the copy'll have to include some of the things we host as an introduction to the Republic. This would mean Qntra, Eulora, and whoever might want their blogs listed.
a111: Logged on 2019-07-01 07:44 mircea_popescu: the general expectation of the pantsuit that their century-long loud noise has eliminated the possibility of thought as a backing of human activity is why they're so fucking [http://trilema.com/2015/so-i-found-the-libertard-motherlode/#select
asciilifeform: as i understand, per the teachings of mircea_popescu , if walked 9000 dead ends -- ought to chronicle 9000 dead ends. but when, then, to chronicle the usable ?
mircea_popescu: it said "your single-path-impredictable-and-unreviewable theorems" ; they'd be these 1. "theorems", as the term is used here, ie, constructions of the mind, which are 2. single-path as in, there is only one possible way to get there (unlike true constructions of the mind, which can always be reached from a multitude of nodes, the implication being that these are mere masks on specific structures of psychogenic noise, not bon
mircea_popescu: copying the forms may be a great way to get to the substance -- which is why say all painters who painted back when painting worked and such a thing as being a master painter was still on the table learned the craft in "full houses", run by some older painter ; but we're adults, we're in the business of substance here, no amount of formalist perfection's gonna do anything on its own.
mircea_popescu: breathe as you breathe just as long as you get oxygen in ; eat as you eat, just as long ... and so on.
diana_coman: it's a shame the child is only 6 as otherwise he's anyway coming home straight to check that I didn't "do anything with the computer parts" while he was away; and I have yet to see any of his play-mates that want to leave our house when time is up, lol.
diana_coman: that's precisely the thing: I went to local uni to offer them "come and practice"; result nil; but again and as above: this part needs to come to focus and then (only then) it will work. (I know I made it work before, it's not that I can't or something)
mircea_popescu: there is no such thing as human industry that does not benefit from company ; the strange behaviours of baruch spinoza and such are 1. not a tradition but an accident and 2. something the old masters ~regretted~ as an unfortunate result of misguided youth, wasn't their fucking option and choice.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: those that made it at least in here for some talk are fully visible, see the mp3 guy as most recent but as I said, so far I was 99% on "get eulora finally going" ; this clearly has to change because otherwise by the time it's good to go, there's nobody left or something.
mircea_popescu: "somebody" deciding "you are stupid" or whatever the fuck else on the basis of your own fucking work is exactly as interesting as the fly-meaning of flies buzzing by.
mircea_popescu: well, the literate process can help there as anywhere.
mircea_popescu: "there is no such fish as truite in french". what, it was my accent ?
diana_coman: ah, I don't expect it's perceived by degrees, no; for as long as it can be not-perceived (i.e. no direct hunger, long hunger sort of thing), it won't be perceived, no.
mircea_popescu: the average girly that a) looks like anything you'd fuck and b) isn't already outright working the streets has never in her life had in her hand, as discretionary funds, the cost of a decent meal. this is europe, EXACTLY like africa. minus the infrastructure, they're exactly the same place. exactly the same people anyway.
mircea_popescu: so as to actually do something with themselves, as opposed to continuing with idiocy ad idem.
mircea_popescu: the general expectation of the pantsuit that their century-long loud noise has eliminated the possibility of thought as a backing of human activity is why they're so fucking [http://trilema.com/2015/so-i-found-the-libertard-motherlode/#select ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: you realise, do you, that thing exists EXACTLY as ~teh default lifeflow for minds incapable of examining their lifeflow~. that's what it fucking IS, that is the definition, "the empire is what happens to cattle, incapable of reflection".
a111: Logged on 2019-06-08 21:15 billymg: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-13#1913031 << something i'm thinking a lot about as well
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-07-01#1921150 << even if you do them monthly, or quarterly, or whatever works well for you, they're just as good. the sticking point isn't that omg, gotta be every half hour. the sticking point's that you, you first and foremost, WANT the fucking written record so you can reason about your own history meaningfully. rather than treat it as an inestimable, unevaluable and otherwordly gift from the g ☝︎
lobbes: though, I no longer see this as such; this is (as diana_coman, Bingo_Boingo point out) a communications problem
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-30#1921068 << it's the same thing as two years ago, and i fear two years from now too : 1. write "i am going to X" ; then either 2a. do x or else 2b-1. explain why you didn't do x AND 2b-2 explain what you're going to do differently, ie, CHANGE, about yourself, so as not to be in the b branch again ; and then later 3. review how well 2b-2 has been working out for you and CHANGE SOME MORE. ☝︎
asciilifeform: to both of'em can apply ~same certificate of tardation as to asciilifeform
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: if i knew how to do it, would have done it in 2013 . earlier. it aint as if i have a bottle of 'get outta salt mine' behind glass, 'break glass', that was saving for some (what?) occasion.
asciilifeform: ( as i understand, e.g. mod6 , phf , are in even darker corners. )
asciilifeform: looking improbable that will put out ch20 today as proclaimed (charlatan!!11) but still not impossible.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-30 15:50 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 ?
a111: Logged on 2019-06-30 17:54 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: suppose , for a moment, that asciilifeform issued weekly broadcasts. wouldja want to read the typical one ? because it is likely as not to consist of 'this week i spent 50hrs battling microshit, and 7 tryin' to load peh back into my greying head'
mircea_popescu: holy hell look at that, just as soon as getting the fuck alligned to reality is in discussion, what ignatius wanna do is resurrect greenspan. what the fuck nonsense is this.
BingoBoingo: Having as we do finite erections and not infinite cunt, we don't have the right parts for mircea_popescu to beat us into having legs. We gotta start making our own legs.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-30#1920961 << basically, an abandoned ship, sailing randomly for as long as no rocks decide any better. sounds PRECISELY like the foundation. ☝︎

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i dun have with what to disagree with mp. he wants professional, well-scheduled performance, like e.g. asciilifeform's day job. and he gets it, from diana_coman , whom he employs fulltime. as for asciilifeform & the other 'hangers on', all they've to bring to the table is, i guess, worm shit ?
a111: Logged on 2019-06-30 16:28 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
mp_en_viaje: and so following in this fucking vein, we had various hanger-ons being beheaded periodically, who tried to various things just as long as nothing useful, rebrand FG, make website for whatever, utter useless derpitude. deedbot wallet has today all the users it was born with and naught else. far, far from synnergy, and things ratcheting each other out of the swamp, as the grand design demands, we have mutually assisted insignificance on an epic sca
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-30#1920914 << this is rather a structural problem. we had, for years, a "foundation", pompously called nothing, that sat on its ass doing a literal jack shit for however many years until finally managed to bumble onto a collision course. we've had pizarro for years now, and this pizarro has as many customers today as it had yesterday, and last week, and last year -- minus dpb, i guess. ☝︎

asciilifeform: working from the literal text. where board, consisting of mod6 & asciilifeform , hired BingoBoingo as chairman, with mutual agreement of all parties ( and iirc encouragement of mp_en_viaje & co )

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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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.

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.
