asciilifeform: 'bbbut the planes came for grandfather in '43, wai not for me'
mircea_popescu: otherwise -- if you're poor nobody asked you anything and if you're rich and you want kids, the plough's in your pants and the field's over there, get crackin'.
asciilifeform: imho straight cargo cult -- fella thought himself to be a product of similar process, didn't see 'why can't do again'
mircea_popescu: constructing a circus for his wife's minotaur eminently served that purpose OF HIS.
mircea_popescu: right ? so no, dood who "wants to feel like a good person" ends up doing the weirdo monogamous bs etcetera. which is what the original dood did also -- he didn't want the kid, he just wanted for he, himself, to feel like "a good person"
asciilifeform: tlp's 'feel like a trader' eh
mircea_popescu: that's the whole fucking story there, he's trying to manipulate my divine perception, so he can rest easy. there's no composed wants like that in nature otherwise.
mircea_popescu: one can not want such a thing as "red wine in a unicorn shaped glass". that's not properly speaking a want, that's just pretense. dood properly speaking wants to be seen by me (god, whatever, same difference), AS HE SEES HIMSELF.
asciilifeform: 'but want bordeaux '57 from the teat of my sow!111'
mircea_popescu: one can want such a thing as wine, or red wine, or bordeaux, or even bordeaux from 1957
mircea_popescu: hence the earlier comments. "oh but mp, i don't want to procreate just like that... i want a small count of kids from this one specific woman to raise together bla bla bla" is strict nonsense.
mircea_popescu: well, rather, smart money does the quotients. "what's the relation between the quotient of the bets on the swift and the fashgionable respectively, and then on their relative swiftnesses ?"
asciilifeform: 'race is not always to the swift, but that's where smart money bets'(tm)(r)
mircea_popescu: not that i'm even against the effort. if memory serves we ended up with lego out of a very similar preoccupation with turning pig's ears into silk purses. so whatever, i'm sure the ruins of us academia will provide very advanced an' amusing playgrounds for the non-retarded.
a111: Logged on 2014-07-19 03:15 mircea_popescu: now among this dozen, there was a mentally retarded girl. she wasn't badly touched, maybe 80 or so. definitely enough to take care of herself. definitely not enough for high level math. her parents however were i dun recall what academic country gentry, and so they insisted she go.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2014-07-19#761488 << there we go ☝︎
asciilifeform can't for some reason turn up the orig. mega-thread re 'furniture girl'
a111: Logged on 2017-12-18 03:09 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform recall that story about the dumbest gilr in my hs that ended up a math assistant prof ?
asciilifeform: i expect by nao tardkid is already 'professor' ☝︎
mircea_popescu: none of this wishy-washy bs. pick and the path follows.
mircea_popescu: duty of man is to make his pick.
mircea_popescu: no, was us. and wtf, "taste". you wanna procreate or you wanna copulate ? if the former, forget "taste", do your duty eh. if the latter, wtf are you making kids for,
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'ma guess story took place in europistan. in usa, 'ghetto' means dark meat, and not errybody has taste for same.
asciilifeform: 'you wanna park auto on the grounds ? get rubber stamp there'
asciilifeform at the time was working , un-uniformed , in army lab thing, and force to sit for 'motorcycle safety class', despite having never owned motorcycle.
mircea_popescu: the reproductively-minded wealthy male has no sane answer to "why not just go to ghetto, get young cunts by the dozen and do the work well"
asciilifeform: phunphakt, moar usg army d00dz during iraq years, dead on 'harley' than in the field. 1 way to perma-escape 'dependopotamus'...
asciilifeform: sounds like the stage at which fella oughta take up motorcycle, or better still, single-engined prop plane, at least live a little and shorten the misery years
mircea_popescu: because, obviously, "what do you want me to do, hang them ?" "yes" "but that does nothing to help them" "precisely".
mircea_popescu: ustardian optimism, instead of hanging the retards they construct them terrariums, where 20somethings can play at being nine, and perhaps before the decade's out progress to being 10 yo.
mircea_popescu: "o yeah ? and how long's this scandalous idiocy ongoing ?" "about four years" "this suggests nothing to you ?" "we're just not fallen on the exact right exercise regimen"
mircea_popescu: "what the fuck is wrong with you ?" "what! when my father had a stroke, patience and working out every day the diminished capacities remaining saw him cured within the year"
asciilifeform: oh hey mircea_popescu was this the same fella who later was found dead on street, and the anatomists found no reason why, 'simply tired of living' ?
mircea_popescu: instead of hanging the abomination, dood constructed elaborate retardarium, where retard's diminutive capacities could be supported and entertained.
mircea_popescu: i once knew a rich man. he, like so many, had head well infested with goange, for some reason idiotic notion of monogamy, etcetera. predictably ended up with single wife, but "proper", "classy" whatever nonsense (as opposed to much more adequate whore) and predictably her only product was al
a111: Logged on 2019-04-27 21:50 asciilifeform: in other noose, asciilifeform met with some meatspace folx who rent out time on sem & ion beam station by the hr. 'bout a hundy per hr.
mircea_popescu: yet usg is not to blame.
asciilifeform: asciilifeform to indian d00d : 'so you folx write the soft?' 'what write, 'ardupilot' '
asciilifeform: recently usb banned the use of toy choppers in the open street, so they built a thing resembling tennis court. grad students on ladders pry the little broken corpses out of the ceiling net.
asciilifeform: these reliably produce 'papers', the currency of academitardia, so bottomless appetite.
asciilifeform: 8, 16, 32 propellers, 'raspberry pi', duct tape.
asciilifeform: then went to 'engineering' . and saw, ~100% to do with toy choppers
asciilifeform: i was not able to get an answer re why the room with sewing machines. (thought 'maybe programmable, like jaquard's loom?' but looked, nope, 'singer' )
BingoBoingo: Engineering probably just does python in their materials labs.
asciilifeform wondered what then folx do in the 'engineering' hall across the street
asciilifeform: in dept, nao 4000+ warm bodies, of which 700 claimed female. ( in asciilifeform's time, was ~400, and maybe 1 platoon of female, all wearing hijabs )
asciilifeform: and 'tutoring halls' run by 'assoc for women in kompyooting' ( to help 'diversity' , i.e. folx who can't pass the (massively watered down in past 2 decades ) curriculum
mircea_popescu: better than githubbing
asciilifeform: oh apropos, luvvly lulz : in asciilifeform's old uni, they had 'grand opening' of massive 9story glass monster for 'comp sci dept' . guess what inside ? carpentry, sewing shops!
mircea_popescu: if at least they picked carpentry or something, they'd run out of fingetrs.
mircea_popescu: the net is too busy with amateurish excursions in phonetics navelgrazing, on the strong basis of how shit sounds to randos and a complete ignorance of phonetic notation.
a111: Logged on 2019-05-02 11:41 mircea_popescu: notwithstanding richard stallman's shameful fraudulent claims on the topic.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-02#1910642 << before this thread lost -- it is interesting to asciilifeform , 'apu1' is the 1 (afaik) x64 box still in production where you can actually boot with 100% selfbuilt bios. and 0 discussion of it anywhere on net, aside from tmsr. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: The local tv is playing Maduro on repeat today. "Que llegó la hora de combatir"
mircea_popescu: nfi what it's supposed t omean, but down with maduro.
BingoBoingo: Wales runs as long as the lenders stay insane
mircea_popescu: what the fuck is this supposed to even mean, "economy depends on public sector"
mircea_popescu: "Now that the country's traditional extractive and heavy industries have gone or are in decline, Wales' economy depends on the public sector, light and service industries and tourism. "
a111: Logged on 2019-04-17 21:13 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i take the pics mostly for self, to occasionally look at and remember that there ~is~ an outside
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i had camera thingie for http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-17#1908897 -ism ☝︎
BingoBoingo: The six car garage has yet to be redistributed.
asciilifeform: ( asciilifeform played tape of said chix for pet. pet : 'why didntcha take her home! i want' )
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: They aren't poor so they'd like to see their country back. Still comes up for air. Has too many old folks latched onto her to answer the human shield calls.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: what did yer vz chix have to say on the subj ?
BingoBoingo: Literally no one outside the republic can imagine 2/3 of Venezuelans have always been so poor that Maduro has reduced their percieved relative poverty to bringing everyone else to their level.
mircea_popescu: o hey, deedbot is back to voicing ppls
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> never win [as idem]" because "all authority can do is multiply the questions", see, had they not "kidnapped sasha" there'd be fewer "questions to answer" and someone gives a shit etcetera. << Watching Pantsuit run against the actual popularity of Maduro has been a trip. "Yes, all the venezolanos you talk to hate Maduro, but how poor were they? How poor are they now?"
asciilifeform: none of these currently on front burner, but will be 9000x easier to revive if meanwhile lobbes et al produce an edible cl 'wwwism kit' ☟︎☟︎
a111: Logged on 2019-04-03 15:01 asciilifeform: i dun have the mempool observatory node working yet, so am currently unable to say whether this is widespread problem or asciilifeform simply 'got lucky' errytime
asciilifeform: lobbes: the html gen thing is where i stopped with the http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-03#1906630 item ☝︎
lobbes: now somewhere in all THAT, I'll need something to *generate* the html with, so to come full loop I would not be sad if a spyked cl-http-generator existed.
lobbes: though it seems like lots of people here use hunchentoot for that purpose, and it seems that hunchentoot is easily modified to interface with apache through mod_lisp ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2019-05-02 07:11 spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-01#1910378 <-- do you mean the http side of the logotron? I'm quite interested in reading&signing a CL-based httptron, for multiple purposes. is to be one of the high-priority items on my list, unless lobbes wants a stab at it
lobbes: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-02#1910594 << well, I was going to attack it in pieces anyways, so actually if you want to do the CL-based httptron portion, I'd happily read/sign/use. Ultimately, I figure I'm going to need to first build a 'backend' that pulls the log data from the postgres db (probably using postmodern), and then the 'frontend' or app server that handles client requests (e.g. GET + POST), ☝︎
asciilifeform: afaik no one yet confirmed that this is so re: trinque's latest cut.
diana_coman: I suppose I'll just have to carve some time and do it.
asciilifeform: rright but i expect the current item will build similarly
diana_coman: asciilifeform: that was a proto-cuntoo, essentially not exactly the current cuntoo
asciilifeform: so this is known to work.
asciilifeform: iirc diana_coman built the cuntoo that runs on the 2nd s.mg box, on this gentoo.
asciilifeform: ave1's musltronic gnat does run on each, and so do the musltronic bins it births. however the system utils are still glibcistic.
asciilifeform: to be maximally pedantic : both 'dulap' and 'rk' gentoo tarballs were created by literally tarring up the contents of two respective boxes where asciilifeform hand-sewed a gentoo based on the classic 2015-era 'kill list' gentoo recipe.
asciilifeform: ( dulap-gentoo does not boot from stick, it requires working hdd to install )
asciilifeform: iirc hanbot was ~not~ working from dulap-gentoo tho, but from an even older bootstick image.
asciilifeform: if you want another s.mg-style box, can be baked very quickly. but it does not reduce the amount of sweat needed to install cuntoo at later point.
diana_coman: as far as I understood it, she was simply trying to get some gentoo system installed first i.e. to have A system, not that much to be able to emerge new stuff or whatever
asciilifeform: ( it is in principle possible to make such a thing, but no one afaik has attempted , and i cannot immediately think re how to approach )
diana_coman: yes but I struggle to understand why was it that hanbot struggled so much with getting a cuntoo first since apparently there is actually this image that is frozen and usable
asciilifeform: there is not however a mechanism for 'convert from stone age gentoo to cuntoo w/out nuking disk', afaik .
diana_coman: asciilifeform: re dulap-tarball, does that mean that it's in fact *that* the gentoo image hanbot was looking for as stepping stone towards cuntoo? i.e. deploy that first and then from there move on to cuntoo?
asciilifeform: from alligator to jaguar
asciilifeform: iirc errything connected with the ameri-tropics is common in cr.
asciilifeform did not grow frog. only saw in bmore 'national aquarium' thing.
mircea_popescu: (me knows this specifically, has seen the frog in question with own eyes, grown etc)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, that's because not finds ants it needs for poison. if you feed it ants in terrarium, poisonous.
asciilifeform: this entirely troo. in south sovok we had both hemp and poppies growing wild, neither was smoked by ~anyone
mircea_popescu: and even today, the poppy zones are VERY specific.
mircea_popescu: very similar process with opium, as well. burma had cvasi-monopoly in classival world. why ? certainly not because sent agents to kill anyone at unknown distances.
mircea_popescu: the objection is sound on the face, but nevertheless for some unknown to me reason it seems not to prevail.
asciilifeform: i expect it means 'so little cocaine as to not be worth extracting' then. ( must be similar to the case with the poison frog ? y'know, the little colourful one. they grow a++ in terrarium, but entirely safe to eat )
