mp_en_viaje: so in practical terms, they have ~0 problem with losing out on however many billions, but will NOT pay you more than X, or make an exception to their "code of conduct" to accomodate your fucking interns if you feel like it, or anything else. pretense above sense, you see.
mp_en_viaje: therefore, the institution has ~nothing to lose by behaving irrationally, and everytrhing to lose by behaving "out of character". if the play / libretto calls for your doing X, there's no financial outlay that'll convince them to do Y. ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2019-04-13 00:04 Mocky: They way they have folks scheduled to rotate off of my project, at the time my contract is up I'm going to the only developer who will have been on the project for more than a few weeks, I'll still be bringing the newbies up to speed. So I expect to have substantial leverage.
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-13#1908420 << don't expect rational op. most of this "it" crap is entitrely anti-economic, just a cover-up for social security payments, there to keep up the pretense of a working economy as opposed to the bare reality of a purely loot-distributive system. because [they think] the chinese couldn't face said reality. ☝︎
mp_en_viaje: most generally, the less you try to live in the fictional pantsuit world, the more you're stuck living irl.
mp_en_viaje: so no, the less you look at some cunt as some sort of divinity totem, the more able you are to put her to some kind of useful work. the less you're impressed with the hurr durr of "romantic comedies", the more capable of actual hapiness the subservient ambiental female becomes. and so following.
mp_en_viaje: / sociopath" nature. they stem from his own fucktarded assumptions ; not sharing in those assumptions means not paying their (very burdensome) cost, means being able to engage in "magic" feats that are "impossible".

But no, I don't expect mp has martian dna and that success in some particular realm is thus unattainable.
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-12#1908415 << there's absolutely no magic involved. that is ~precisely~ the catch, every moron out there, from first to last, is wholly dependent on a large pile of "magic" being "accepted as part of everyday functioning of reality". orianj dood's problems with this world don't stem from my imaginarily "alien dragon of pure energy ☝︎
mp_en_viaje: but in any case the first's gonna be a lot closer to a partner than anything, so pick one with some business acumen and not so much goange-head.
mp_en_viaje: in short, on the basis of your asking the question in that form's rather obvious your outlook's broken in the femitard way. patriarchy ftw, own your space you then don't need to ask what to put the slaves at work on.
mp_en_viaje: (meanwhile retarded innocents open "pizzerias", but the same principle really)>
mp_en_viaje: i suppose "videochat" is the lowest financuial capital investment (in the sense every poor schmuck can attempt it) / "spa" aka beauty salon is the lowest human capital investment (in the sense any tardashian can do it), which is why every two bit wanna-be mp is being a "businessman" while the gfs work these.
mp_en_viaje: is she any good at doing girly shit, can set her up with a beauty salon out of maybe 50k at most, does she like to drive, can get her a taxi license. is she the smoothest tongue you ever saw get her a real estate practice, she can work rents. solutions to specific problems have to be specific, yes ?
BingoBoingo: Or how much time is being lost trying to diy all those jobs
mp_en_viaje: how much are you currently paying for the driver(s), garner (s?), maids, scullery and otherwise, and so on ?
mp_en_viaje: every place you live in will require someone to mop and broom and go behind the toilet on her bare hands and knees, are you currently hiring someone to do this or are you just pretending it no longer is something that has to be done because "progress" in "modern democracy" ?
mp_en_viaje: but outside of that, what can she do, and what do you control ? is the dentist in whose practcie you're the silent partner looking for a hygienist ? is she all into yoga and ready to post butt tri-daily on her youtube channel ? were you employing a dumbass to do a dubious job of paralegal work tha tshe could be trained within two weeks to take over, thereby saving not merely the salary, but also the government burdens ? (if you cut a 20k a year em
mp_en_viaje: it's not some kind of universal... well, i suppose it could be, if you were an actual pimp, then every girl is +ev by working the street.
a111: Logged on 2019-04-12 21:29 Mocky: ah yes. More specifically, I don't wonder about making chix rise from the earth, but how to make it +ev starting with the first, as opposed to adding the 6th
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-12#1908409 << you gotta work to her strengths, yes ? ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2019-04-12 19:41 asciilifeform: that capability was there in fucking 1972.
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-12#1908360 << well, people of 1972 also didn't need newsweek to explain how the news relates to them. so... ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2016-12-30 17:50 mircea_popescu: phf here's the problem : moder(field) consists of take field, redefine it in a practically useless but superficially persuasive way, then bad_words() to whoever dares ask if your "field" solves any important questions in the field. because of course it doesn't, MIT is the premier institution in science(*) and technology(*) in the werld.
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-12#1908353 << stupidity is self-reinforcing, is it. the sort of moronic http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-30#1593718 assemblage both rests and produces dysfunctional teaching tools, drawing and display conventions, etcetera. ☝︎☝︎
a111: Logged on 2019-04-12 15:51 asciilifeform: to briefly revisit ~earthling~ gedanken-fpga tho : it is by no means obv. that the arity has to be 4. anyffin you can tile the 2d plane with, is a legit arity. ( and if you permit 2 or moar types of tile -- then even moar possible options. )
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-12#1908325 << there may be someting in there, have hexagon/square mesh with specialist cells or w/e crazy surface covering mixes. ☝︎☟︎

BingoBoingo: In timely rereadings http://trilema.com/2013/no-womans-land/
Mocky: also a great trilema banner today
Mocky: great link lobbes, thx
lobbes: of course, while not a 'matrian dna', it is definitely a skill that not many have. e.g. for myself, I'm still learning to discern the essential and unimportant for just myself and my 1 gurl (and, of course, properly *communicate this*, which is a weakness of mine). So, in a sense I get the "watching a bird fly by flapping its wings not sufficient for flying". Learned skill like anything I suppose
lobbes: i.e. from what I can tell, much like the republic makes a safe space in the -public- domain for humans to be human, a master makes a safe space in the -private- domain for girlz to be human ☟︎

Mocky: it's firmly in the bezel with a massive contingent of folks hired 1st year out of college without having had another job. Enuf 'diversity' in management to keep white men in check, yet somehow with enuf white men to still make sure technical work continues.
BingoBoingo: Well, it's a problem of whether the place is organized sanely or instead organized as a meat grider that eats bodies because they discount the possibility of sanity
Mocky: BingoBoingo: There are a couple smart someones making decisions but I don't know how much involvement they will have with the decision of what to do with me. otoh you don't need to be a someone to respond to leverage

a111: Logged on 2017-05-07 18:52 gabriel_laddel_p: Just wanted to report that I'm in a house with the SSID "Thiel Master", there are no interesting books, the pool is broken, the front yard is destroyed and some idiot was "dirtbiking" on it when I showed up.
BingoBoingo: Less about leverage and more... they were lucky enough to give you a contract in spite of HR. Is there actually someone making decisions or is this a Home Depot that figures they'll luck into another giveashiticus eventually. ☟︎
Mocky: They way they have folks scheduled to rotate off of my project, at the time my contract is up I'm going to the only developer who will have been on the project for more than a few weeks, I'll still be bringing the newbies up to speed. So I expect to have substantial leverage. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: Mocky: Well, is there someone you can deal with when the contract comes to its end... who knows enough and has the power... to pay you for being a givashiticus?
Mocky: agreed, it dun suffice to read.
asciilifeform: Mocky: mno, idea is that it dun suffice to read how e.g. sharpshooter or parachutist does his thing, to learn to do it.

Mocky: yeah I suppose no other way than just trying it
BingoBoingo: Catch girl, test girl with low risk work, follow by catching next girl
Mocky: ah yes. More specifically, I don't wonder about making chix rise from the earth, but how to make it +ev starting with the first, as opposed to adding the 6th ☟︎
asciilifeform: nah i mean his www , where described how he goes around and chix rise from the very earth and ask to be enslaved
Mocky: read yesterday's log, you mean there or elsewhere?
Mocky: I'm curious how this works: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-11#1908041 now that I have extra space and trying to figure out what to do with it. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: Buenas tardes Mocky
BingoBoingo: Well, wouldn't be the first case someone returns to reaudition after a few months of reading if it wasn't long enough
asciilifeform: imho d00d had moar than longenuff to come to his senses.
deedbot: asciilifeform updated rating of OriansJ from 1 to -1 << read-only brain
asciilifeform: ^ last , afaik, honest man in the field
asciilifeform: or if it dun exist, what the everliving fuck has erryone claiming to be involved in 'computer graphics' been doing since 1970s ? aside from eating own shit.
asciilifeform: ooooor how about 1 that'll draw a http://www.loper-os.org/?p=2842#selection-716.0-718.2 , without also WHOLE DAY of hand-fiddle , and into a scalable-to-user's-terminal item, rather than bitmap garbage ?
asciilifeform: PeterL: fughet even the logic gates. where's the proggy that'll draw e.g. http://www.loper-os.org/?p=2875#selection-1129.0-1343.1 using strictly spec of the relative sizes of the items, and put the captions where they belong ? without WHOLE DAY of hand-fidgeting the coords to only then find that www browser turns it into soup when the moon is in the wrong phase.
asciilifeform: would be, if it didn't ask you to manually shit out the coordinates for each fucking line.
a111: Logged on 2019-04-12 20:03 asciilifeform: somehow in 1985 someone somewhere had comp that's an actual fucking tool for thought, and where could go p=and(x,y) q=or(x,p) r=and(p,q) and get a set of gates arranged in neat rows and with minimal-length non-intersecting wires between'em . and today not.
asciilifeform: i thought http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-12#1908376 was pretty clear. ☝︎
asciilifeform: PeterL: it's the exact opposite of the kind of thing.
PeterL: did you try https://www.edrawsoft.com/circuits.php ? Is that the kind of thing you are looking for?
asciilifeform: somehow in 1985 someone somewhere had comp that's an actual fucking tool for thought, and where could go p=and(x,y) q=or(x,p) r=and(p,q) and get a set of gates arranged in neat rows and with minimal-length non-intersecting wires between'em . and today not. ☟︎
asciilifeform: ftr the rectangles in ^above STILL not 100% of consistent requested size. cuz apparently you CANNOT do this with html. or svg. or anyffin else.
asciilifeform: 'you thought you could put little arrows from one place to another in'em without hand-diddling coordinates for each one ?' ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: 'oh very funny asciilifeform , you thought modern comp could be programmed to shit out logically-defined rectangles with readable text ?'
asciilifeform: i'm not even raging on acct of 'draw gedanken-fpga', it can happily live for another year without being drawn. but i had to spend fucking MONTH hand-sweating out http://www.loper-os.org/?p=2875 , and similar
asciilifeform: it's a geometric device. and yes, can be explained in text, or in morse code, etc. but really belongs as a manipulable graphic, if you already fucking have a comp that displays these ( or wtf is it for, for lolcats ?! )
PeterL: my inner MP is saying "you should be able to explain it with text, shouldn't need fancy graphics"
asciilifeform: exhausted the (veery generous) 1h time budget i gave to this problem, and with exactly 0 to show for it.
asciilifeform: believe or not, i powered up a winblows toilet , and tried coupla 'free' offerings
PeterL: only a terrorist would not want to run javascript/adobe/whatever shit they are served to do this task ...
a111: Logged on 2017-12-29 20:50 asciilifeform: in other idiocies, 'you are rightly observing that svg doesn't support word-wrapping directly. however, you might benefit from foreignObject elements serving as a wrapper for xhtml fragments where word-wrapping is available.'
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-29#1760910 << thread from the ~previous~ time asciilifeform tried to do this kinda thing. ☝︎
asciilifeform: i have entire bookcase fulla dead tree where entirely readable logic diagrams and defo not produced in pen by hand.
asciilifeform: and sometime between then and nao, evaporated
asciilifeform: that capability was there in fucking 1972. ☟︎
PeterL: three minute job if you already put in X minutes setting up the capability
asciilifeform: and the notion is esp. outrageous when sitting next to a comp, which theoretically ought to make this a three minute job.
PeterL: would it fit on your whiteboard? or is that what you meant by draw with pen?
asciilifeform: $item is just slightly too large to draw with pen in reasonable time ( and with asciilifeform's penmanship ) ; but precisely small enuff to be a++ 'animated gif' didacticism -- if, that is, the opensores people actually spent past 20y writing usable soft rather than eating own shit
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in loathesome shitware : asciilifeform when woke up thought, 'i'ma quickly draw the gedanken-mechanism for mp' . went then 'with what ?' -- turns out, erry single didactic digital logic drawing thing, run in either java, or winliquishit, or is opensores linuxturd that builds but then displays blank page, or similar...

PeterL is chemist, but I don't do much with spacegroups these days
PeterL: the wallpaper thing you linked made me think of spacegroups, yes.
asciilifeform: PeterL: iirc you were a chemist -- recall the 2d crystal spacegroups
PeterL: so if you have your tile in a 3d cube, then 6 bits would cover four directions plus up and down?
asciilifeform: to briefly revisit ~earthling~ gedanken-fpga tho : it is by no means obv. that the arity has to be 4. anyffin you can tile the 2d plane with, is a legit arity. ( and if you permit 2 or moar types of tile -- then even moar possible options. ) ☟︎
asciilifeform: ^ astro puzzle : calculate the minimal propagation delay in this 'fpga'. ( just how close can one park a jupiter to another before they merge.. etc )
asciilifeform: this gets even lulzier tho -- each bit in a lut is there because it connects to a neighbour (e.g. in the 4bit example from earlier thread -- 4 neighbours ) . nao picture the galaxy of 'neighbours' for the 64bit item...
