mircea_popescu: the eastern/orthodox expression being "durerea-i ziditoare", ie, pain [builds] the kingdom of heaven
mircea_popescu: which is why ux is such a terrible field. it's caught in this fundamental tension, between moomoos "wanting" to stay moomoos on one hand, and "doctor, my eye hurts every time i take a sip of my coffee" on the other.
mircea_popescu: i suppose the correct construction is that he simply doesn't know what's going on. aanyways.
mircea_popescu: i thought lisp stuff for money is the province of a few remainder whitebeards in usg.missiles grandfathered contracts.
mircea_popescu: especially seeing how the very well design panther tanks -- did.
mircea_popescu: but in plain terms, it turns out the human body is actually very well designed to not have a problem with sand.
mircea_popescu: anyway, never bothered me yet. you'd expect it'd be way the fuck worse with girly bits, but amusingly enough IT IS NOT. the worst part is sand abrasion due to it getting in the slip (as it will) and then the slip moving it about.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, im sure the ocean's seen male genitalia before.
mircea_popescu gave up on trying to wear the retarded recicled coca cola bottles they're selling as "Swimsuits".
mircea_popescu: check out alf, just like in the fairytales of his native lands!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, i guess you have all further gear conveyance contracts you wish.
mircea_popescu: BigTexasBingo, then hopw the fuck does he even dare lift his fucking dumb head.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, from that pov it is actually not even half bad, esp because includes expert escort + handling.
mircea_popescu: BigTexasBingo, what the fuck is the schmuck with kids doing in teenager slum anywyas
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, i have every intention to pay it, whence the !!pay ; the checking intervenes between the statement of intention and the execution thereof.
mircea_popescu: the only unclear part to me is the rockchips. nsa never paid you to buy them ; nor was paid for pizarro to acquire them. i imagine this was a side deal ?
mircea_popescu: then he later paid a further .4 for a fg bundle, taking nsa to .9 worth of convertible bonds, ie a ~7,5% holderr as th9ings stand
mircea_popescu: he bought two boxes -- the minigame box and the spare. and he paid 0.5 in pizarro bonds.
mircea_popescu: just saying, from a snsa perspective. it looks like a wash really.
mircea_popescu: but broadly speaking seems about right, what can i say.
mircea_popescu: basically asciilifeform the story is incomputable : you cost 1/4 btc to fly over some gear (which iirc cost us .6 ?) of which half we sold to pizarro for ~.5 in equity. figure it out if you can o.O
mircea_popescu: a that's right, pizarro never paid cash, we got bonds.
mircea_popescu: trinque, can pay-invoice require a mangled number format, such as #1 or i1 or something ? i nearly paid ben_vulpes 4 btc a few days ago, and so on.
mircea_popescu: whoa guise i dunno what's going on but this tab keeps flashing o.O O.o
mircea_popescu: and so this ~2k is what, plane ticket and those bits of gear we didn't already own that we resold basically ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, basically this is because snsa is paying you to deliver its gear there and also sold pizarro some gear on the trip, right ?
mircea_popescu: but premature yet, give it six months in industrial application.
mircea_popescu: this is indeed where the junction is going, evolve a pcb for official arm item specifically.
mircea_popescu: it occurs to me that ~for the first time~ in the history of computing, we have hardware capable of on the fly rsa-ing.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: incidentally, do these come with fg or as an optional ?
mircea_popescu: as a smart slut once told peggy, "to have fun you need to organize it"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, do you propose to bereave me of the future "O yEaH ?!?!?! YOU ARE BANNED THEN!!!!" "you think i care ?" "of course you do! everyone cares!!!!" lulz ? hm ?
mircea_popescu: what's the problem, anyway, we hang out here with 50k cockcaged retards, singlehandedly make up 99% of all their intellectual products while they pretend we don't exist.
mircea_popescu: trinque, alright, then that's the plan here, you and esthlos come up with a v i can point people at when they have to publish ; you can test it by publishing whatever it was you were about to on it, and there we go.
mircea_popescu: mod6, that's actually... exactly the opposite of what i said!
mircea_popescu: mod6, was a while ago. but anyway, nevermind, you'll do all this later. get tx tooling into trb, by all means.
mircea_popescu: "so how long is this gonna be ?" "We don't know." "bitch, go back to picking apples."
mircea_popescu: mod6, just how many you'll find, it's already 1, and the rule goes 0-1-inf.
mircea_popescu: mod6, there's no rush there, esthlos had 90% of a working lisp v, i expect it can be tweaked into a deliverable. can have ada v later on.
mircea_popescu: i should prolly have a betting pool over how many retarded byte errors of the "hey, check them out, they forgot a comma" type he's gonna find before he releases anything.
mircea_popescu: not like you're the first to run into something in the entire history of the world.
mircea_popescu: the ~only~ item here is that if you had said "hey, i work with women, we're at that age when they're becoming patently useless / damaging to a professional career, i'll be fucked till mid may" when they started popping babies while preternding to be "owners" of shit, we'd have had this convo late march not early may.
mircea_popescu: phf, i get it dood, takes some thinking you've not had time to do. it's not the end of the world or anything, what the hell.
mircea_popescu: but we have esthlos waited on a fix, and then there's whatever you were waiting to publish. so i'm guessing it'd have to be one of you.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i specifically don't want it on asciilifeform 's plate because i'm hoping that he and ave1 can actually get gpr work for irl purposes. if i manage to get eulora server off the fsf toolchain it'll be such a win the likes of which i hadn't dared hope for last year. between that and getting pizarro off the ground he has plenty, and not readily replaceable.
