takes over what? who cares if some poor guy still has an iPhone?
assbot: Logged on 05-11-2015 20:06:20; ascii_field: PeterL:
the notion of 'takes over' is broken
mircea_popescu: "with liquid cooling fluid bubbling over its brain" << if
the coolant bubbles you got serious problems. it's not supposed
to do
that.
BingoBoingo: So pete still working on a PR setup? How does
their compensation work? One share per
tard
tear?
☟︎ BingoBoingo: stody of her kids
to
their dad because she had
the kids on her case but because she was filmed letting her friend use
the card
they said she was neglecting
to 'use state resources alloted for her kids' on her kids, so
they opened a case against her and
the judge let
the kids say who
they wanted
to be with and it was dad. "
BingoBoingo: Foodstamp culture: "I saw an episode of Bridezillas
that she wanted
to use EBT for her wedding cake. Except it was her friends card and it was not a store she was getting it from it was a lady baking out of her house and
the baker lady was going
to buy
the stuff for
the cake and like $700 in groceries as her 'payment'.
They all got fines,
the baker got shut down and
the friend lost her ability
to receive stamps and I
think lost cu
mircea_popescu: maybe phf, but
the dude's not even bothered
to collect
the pile of mushrooms he earned doing i don't recall what for eulora
mircea_popescu: well we can't hire mod6 mostly because if we do
the foundation ends.
ascii_field: so far, other
than pieces of #3, and
the whole of #7, it's all
things
that sit still except when i push'em.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: supposing for a moment
that
the notion was a serious one, who should we be hiring ?
ascii_field: kakobrekla: 'Finlandia, Finlandia, sinne
taas matkalla oli Iivana.'
mircea_popescu: anjyway. while
this... project is epicly delayed and way
the fuck over budget, i am not particularly worried .
mircea_popescu: basically far from ascii_field getting paid, i
think
the
thing here is, s.nsa should be hiring.
mircea_popescu: and cardano is vaguely bolted into either 7 or 4. in fact
the entire anthill got opened mostly
through
there.
mircea_popescu: yeah, succint like 82 life sentences
to run concurrently.
gribble: artifexd was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 28 weeks, 0 days, 23 hours, 47 minutes, and 45 seconds ago: <artifexd> I'm comfortable calling it a review. Not just of what it is but what it was and how it got
to where it is.
mircea_popescu: other
than
that
there's other
things (ie, a bitcoin game etc etc) but i got
those.
mircea_popescu: Thing 7. We're
trying
to create a pr core, which is roughly in
the spot
Thing 4 was a year ago, ie, when artifex got somehow married
to it.
mircea_popescu: Thing 6. We're
trying
to create a sane computer (other
than pogo). Part of
this consideration is some in-principle fundamental research work into
ternary
to be maybe attached
to
Thing 3.
mircea_popescu: Thing 5. We're
trying
to create a sane os.
This led
to gentoo being cut open, libc being cut open, gcc being cut open, and we're still barfing at
the results. I don't even want
to
think about it.
mircea_popescu: Thing 4. We're
trying
to create a proper (=crypto) communication system ; as part of
this gpg was cut up and we're still barfing at
the results.
this is a huge
task and if
thee end product is reasonably well understood,
the design's still widely open.
phf: mircea_popescu: i was referring
to
those instances where it's ascii fielding objections from assorted people, not necessarily debates between you
two
mircea_popescu: Thing 3. We're
trying
to re-create a software management system
that's based on sanity (=crypto).
this mostly exists gratia alf & mod6 efforts, and it's called v.
mircea_popescu: Thing 2. We're
trying
to create an actually statically linked, weaponized bitcoind
that's suitable for
the pogo.
mircea_popescu: Thing 1. We're
trying
to reduce bitcoind
to a form where it's actually worth cutting
trees
to print it ;
☟︎ mircea_popescu: actually,
this is probably long overdue and a major public service. so i ordered
teh gals bring cognac and i shall proceed
☟︎ mircea_popescu: but
the spots on my spleen were because we can't seem
to pin
this down for five minutes.
ascii_field: ^ i
think he was referring in general
to judgements on ~the possible~ based on ~the extant~
assbot: Logged on 05-11-2015 19:21:12; phf: ascii_field:
that's
the problem with a lot of lisp conversations here, your interlocutors have some vague idea about how
things are done right now and in unix world. even unixisms are used not in
their "pure form", but in
their final gnu/linux state.
there's complete lack of semantic match between
that and historical lisp. ultimately debates are reduced
to "macros are bad because cpp is bad"
assbot: Logged on 05-11-2015 19:03:04; PeterL: mircea_popescu:
there is no reason under
the sun
to process, manage, consider or in any way interact with subdollar
transactions. << you are going
to link min bet amounts
to
the USD/BTC price now? are you going
to have
the website show
the "estimated $ amount" like
the VC circus sites do?
ascii_field: but it never made any sense how one could evict a 'tenant' on one of
these.
ascii_field: and no, i don't expect any
takers. and don't intend
to 'emo'
the non-takers
ascii_field: but
to state 'various xxxxx is now available for a fee, unless at some point i get rich enough
to afford
the armour without having
to pull own plow.'
ascii_field: anyway my objective wasn't
to 'emo' people - recall, i have
two bits of emotion register.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i appreciate
the sentiment, i really do, it's pure love "oh im sorry i couldn't do more". fine, but don't let it consume you.
ascii_field: gotta work, pretty much every day of
the year.
ascii_field: they're only in my head in
the sense
that i'm not clever enough
to be 'stand on own' economically as described in mircea_popescu's article re: same.
phf: ascii_field: you're producing
the most output by a margin of anyone here
mircea_popescu: i dun
think anyone was really going "hey, alf is not doing enough works!" or anything ?
ascii_field: 'cause if i starve,
this cheats
the shareholders.
ascii_field: again, not
trying
to
troll people, but fact of
the matter is
that i only got so much 'voluntary'. and gotta prioritize.
mircea_popescu: after all, soviet armies even are a
thing because
the reason prefers
to sleep, or how was
that quote.
mircea_popescu: and as always is
the case in life, if one doesn't manage
to make one
thing work, one'll sooner or later meet
the same
thing later on, with worse downside and less upside.
mircea_popescu: iirc
they were disinclined from getting servers even, for yet
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i posted all of
this
to add another 'can'
to
the list: services for pay. if anyone is interested in such.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu:
that's really
the lot of it
mircea_popescu: eh, relax wouldja. do what you can and let others do what
they can and
that's
the whole story.
ben_vulpes has been waiting for
this particular old
tomato for some
time
ascii_field: BUT if
trb foundation really wants various
things, it can make'em happen by... paying.
ascii_field: from
this point on i will have
to ignore everything else, until rollout.
☟︎ ascii_field: my main project is cardano. which i would like
to roll out before i get 'accidented', starve (which may happen quite soon), or exhaust
the patience of my co-author or of
the shareholders. and
thus,
ascii_field was not advocating
the merits of soviet armies.
ascii_field: anyway i know very well
that mircea_popescu runs a roman army, where you gotta bringe
the horse, and
the armour, and not a soviet army.
mircea_popescu: if i cared what kenyans value anything i might ask
them. as it is,
they don't even get a voice in blockchain size.
assbot: Logged on 05-11-2015 19:02:01; mircea_popescu:
this goalpost moving is giving me spots on
the spleen.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
to put
the
thing in more distant, and
thus perhaps more comprehensible
terms even if you'll likely not be able
to resist
the
temptation
to crush naisl with
the microscope : "what is
the value of rsa
to kenyan ?" and "obviously all
this 'crypto work' is general 20yo cunt good looks"
to kenyan.
mircea_popescu: neither of
these approaches is actually meaningful, you're just murking up
the material.
trinque marvels at both
the output of
this guy and his assessment of it
ascii_field: e.g., do i contribute something in particular, or is it fungible like
the 'good looks of a 20yo cunt'
ascii_field: wanted
to see if anyone, incl. mircea_popescu, might find an error in my reasoning.
ascii_field: i know full well
that it is worth nothing.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu seems
to
think
that i was looking for an answer other
than
the one i already derived.
