asciilifeform: maybe if derp finds The Ring of Popescuinity in the mud, and cleans it up, and wields some of its powers, he still isn't mircea_popescu ?
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: is the "nightlife" in montevideo the ~same as BA?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: either yes or very elaborate ruse, including some folks who dun like him no moar participating.
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: sole, afaik, sponsor.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: he is already full of cock, just not yours
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: he's on the other side.
deedbot: gabriel_laddel voiced for 30 minutes.
asciilifeform: $up gabriel_laddel
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i also missed this when it happened, but it imploded.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-07 18:21 gabriel_laddel: The lesswrong people I've run into out the bay area all tacked on idiocies like "if someone had a really good betting run, then you would pay them to make decisions for you regarding your own life"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: wai where was this
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: would it make much difference if there could ?
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: so explain the atrocious athena soup
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: see also http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-05#1477341 ☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: well, still in the sense that the urbit thing chugs along
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel a number of times.
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: have you sailed across the river to montevideo yet?
trinque: gabriel_laddel: whole thing is fucked as soon as the cultural notions of born slaves enters the process

mod6: mircea_popescu: yah, it makes some sense.
phf: but then i was thinking that i can periodically poll all the sources since_id=<last id for the source> and check things for consistency, etc.
phf: maybe the id can be optional, but fwiw it doesn't need to match what the btcbase has. as long as it's unique and incremental on your system. the main usecase is that if the bot drops, for the duration of reconnect logger wants to know what happened on channel. so can do since_time=<+-10 minutes around drop time> and then fuzzy shuffle messages in

a111: Logged on 2016-06-07 00:56 mircea_popescu: "Hi team at Trilema How are you? I came across your excellent gaming site: http://trilema.com " << one of the pleasures of keeping a personal blog is that well... what is it ?
asciilifeform: this is a typical and lulzy reversal of the usual mircea_popescu vs asciilifeform mega-threadz
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if bot, it was a spiffily human-like bot. when you have log scrolling in one eye all day, ~every day, you get a feel for the zoology
jurov: mircea_popescu: wtf is with mpex? it's like third time new order receives a signed receipt from mpex, and then completely vanishes
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the 'no motivation to pester' thing is possibly changing, as ro is slowly converted into usg forward base
asciilifeform: ;;later tell pete_dushenski look for 'double-converter' ups - 1500VA and up. these draw current at all times, and lack the familiar relay 'click' - the inverter is always on. they come ~exclusively~ in rack-mount shape.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what's so spiffy about this. so now they can rely on ru gas instead of own coal ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: here in the north americanistans he can get absolute rubbish installed for maxint.
asciilifeform: which yes, mircea_popescu doesn't ever see
asciilifeform: the battery in this case ( mircea_popescu's outdoor wagon ) is used to start the diesel.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-07#1477901 << gensets, either BingoBoingo or mircea_popescu's, do absolutely nothing until ~30sec or so after total blackout ☝︎
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski if you own rather than rent, buying a large unit is a good home improvement move. for one thing, all electronics benefit from power filtering etc, tv sets, whatever has chips in it. for another thing, redundant power is great and brownouts a thing everywhere. not the worst 5-10k you ever spent, can just sit in the basement and make your day for a week each decade or w/e.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-07 04:17 pete_dushenski: unrelatedly, can anyone recommend a 15min UPS for a workstation ? the power in this building/town is going to the fucking pits, even if it is really goddam cheap.
jurov: pete_dushenski: i don't believe these can sustain anywhere like 15min at 400W
pete_dushenski: which can pretty much be summed up by this : https://65.media.tumblr.com/c48259277b779bf1ae794ce5ae95fa74/tumblr_o7w0i51Y5C1vvj8mlo1_500.jpg

pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: "The old man's daugther prayed God" << dunno if intentional spelling or not

asciilifeform: ;;later tell pete_dushenski silicon is element 14, ~silicone~ is a type of synthetic rubber ! i can't even fathom how folks confuse the 2
trinque: mircea_popescu: I threw those in; I have to fix the tape between new deedbot and old (actual deed-related) code
a111: Logged on 2016-06-06 23:23 mircea_popescu: speaking of sexual offal, why is it that all the marginal women ~nobody'd give the time of day imagine they "speak for all of us", ie, somehow represent femaleness an' womanhood ?
a111: Logged on 2016-02-26 03:53 mircea_popescu: yeah well. meanwhile at reality ranch, all contact sports have this phenomena, where people age out of it. it's natural. but they don't WANT out of it, because they fucking liked it. so they become radio commentators, referees, whatever they can find.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-06 22:04 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-06#1477600 << not altogether an idle question.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu gets it.
a111: Logged on 2015-10-07 13:41 mircea_popescu realises that probably no one else's light went off when alf was getting all excited about vmath that what he was seeing really was "omfg, usable molecular chem."
asciilifeform: seems like mircea_popescu is reinventing 'padding', that is, dilating message space
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in order for above to hold true, N must have equal 'mass' to M

a111: Logged on 2015-09-01 03:19 mircea_popescu: and i'm like..... mmmkay nevermind.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: oh?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: my contention is not that it is impossible to write proggy that behaves sanely under unix when catches SIGABRT or whatnot, but that the effort required to do so and the verbosity of the resulting code is beyond most folk.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'conscientious c programmer' is a mythical dragon of sorts, like 'honest bureaucrat'
asciilifeform: heap dun have frames, mircea_popescu .
asciilifeform: but in this case mircea_popescu wants proggy to carry on
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you can't do this on c machine, because it has, e.g., a heap also
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what do you do with the progressing system calls?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: kill -9
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it was pre-urbit-release
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> but that's nothing ; the case is still fresh in my mind when BingoBoingo made up some stupid shit about how a guy was so fat he used a stick to wipe his ass ; and other perverse defecation tales - which then became the ACCEPTED STANDARD of "what fat people do" according to "everyone" on social media. << ty, but that is credit for TOO much

asciilifeform: e.g., the eastern folk are lightyearz ahead in the art of people-packin' as contemplated in mircea_popescu's 'female herd' articles
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu is a winner. the euro fictions ~don't~ really compile in cn.
