lobbes: incidentally, mircea_popescu with your permission I would like to bring the bot into #trilema during the next week for further testing (it wouldn't need voice; just needs to quietly sit in background). I'd like to see how it handles
a heavier log-load
lobbes: also, the code is currently designed for
a single chan atm (which would be #trilema, of course). However, would you want multi-chan capability as part of the delivered final product?
billymg: anyway, ima swing by diana_coman's castle since there seems to be
a cr convoy thread building over there
billymg: in casual conversations with my boss it seemed like remote work might be an option, and although i don't think of that as
a long term goal it could be useful in fueling the initial settling
snsabot: Logged on 2019-06-08 17:23:02 billymg: in my current situation, there is not enough leftover energy for the tasks i'd like to be doing. this could be helped by transferring to
a less demanding galley but my current thinking is to do my time, save resources, and then make it
a clean break
billymg: and as
a small update on
my plan -- i'm in the process of securing
a place in CR but got cold feet re: turning off the fiat spigot
mircea_popescu: but at least he wasn't parading the niggers on
a leash downtown, amirite ?
BingoBoingo: Dar
a doua oară nu se va mai termina așa."
lobbes: gotta be outraged about something, and finally found
a match with his standard issue outrage regexp
ossabot: Logged on 2019-09-22 13:47:13 mircea_popescu: btw diana_coman you still feel like hungary ? have
a cuppa this weekend ?
mircea_popescu: twas
a moment of renascentist reaction in the periphery
mircea_popescu: i expect these were mostly the eastern gypsies. much like the jews, gypsies come in
a spectrum, the southern arab-owned oens were mostly metalworkers, the northern rus' owned ones were mostly bear / acrobatics / horse riding / circus and such ; the middle set mostly thieves and whores.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, no, see, it's
a matroska doll of travel, vacations within vacations with vacation subcompartments of their own!
mircea_popescu: next week will go for
a budapest salzburg/linz vienna munchen frankfurt berlin etc.
mircea_popescu: ah. well, we're doing this europe thing. did
a 8-9 week budapest oslo warsaw minsk kiev etc etc
lobbes: asciilifeform: ah but there will be search, though it will consist of
a entire blog-wide search (and, since the logs will be posts, they will also be included)
diana_coman: lobbes: sounds like
a productive few days really, not bad.
lobbes: I wasted
a good chunk of time wrestling with proper escaping of quotes and the like,
which I eventually achieved. Turns out that the "MySQLdb" python lib I was using was shit; had to switch to "mysql.connector" which allows for proper prepared sql statements.
lobbes: In any case, not hairy due to alf's original code (as it is well organized and his abundant commentary makes it
a pleasure to work with, actually), but due to learning curve of interfacing with mysql and/or mpwp's backend
diana_coman: in fairness, there were - according to the newspaper-bit itself - quite
a few people that pointed the obvious ie 3 people being totally fine so wtf's the problem with it??
mircea_popescu: and, of course, "i wonder who this is", because TEN YEARS have fucking passed in vain. back in 2009 BOTH
mircea badeas were like "hurr durr, who is mircea popeescu", meanwhikle
a decade passed, nobody STILL ever fucking heard of either copy of them.
mircea_popescu: there's nothing wrong with threats; there's the world wrong with not having
a point.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-22 00:00:28 trinque: and upon that,
a sort of silent threat.
mircea_popescu: it's stupid is what it is ; and not for any reason to do with the outside, but purely from
a disheveling of the inside of the mind capable of such double-splits-with-double-disavowal.
mircea_popescu: and yes, i had been (and for years, at that) slowly growing hostile to people doing both ends of that, ie, on one hand "i'm not publishing this, i intend to earn
a living off it" and then turn around and "i ain't about to advertise this, who the fuck gives
a shit, i'm not putting my precious lfie behind it, wut!!!"
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-21 23:59:56 trinque: in that vein, it occurs to me that this holding back of items such as ^ is dishonorable in that it's effectively
a signal that one intends to drag whichever items with him into the grave/bottle/sea
mircea_popescu: self-evidently the greatest folly of our times, "you, muh daughter, should figure out what it is you want" hurr durr. nothing, of course, like the celebrated stupidities/received ideas of history ; nor as ridiculous nor as pervasive nor as inexplicable because easily dispelled nor in any way remarkable.
a mediocre delusion at best.
trinque: spent some time this afternoon with
a once proud old man, now quite close to death. frames things
a certain way.

a note to the !!help there?

snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-20 11:56:26 BingoBoingo: They are
a pair I met the first night in country
mircea_popescu: still, this is what value adding is all about, made pizarro half
a bitcent today!
BingoBoingo:
A number of the tower racks do have
a sort of shelving installed preventing the tower cases from being load bearing

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Dentist Venezolana left
a PR/Receptionist Venezolana behind
ericbot: Logged on 2019-09-20 07:35:11 mircea_popescu: can't discern if BingoBoingo is intimating he's the girlfriend ; or that he's got
a pair ; or that there's independently
a pair of lezzies he's following around ; or what.

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It's
a sort of "Whitey has, we have less but want more" movement which Maduro inherited as
a sort of clumsy Stalin.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Chinese and Polish Ancestry. Venezuela is
a country of immigrants, which is
a large part of their political dilemma. The native and African Venezolanos love Maduro and Chavismo. The EuroVenezolanos and Asians hate Maduro and Chavismo.
BingoBoingo: Wat do? Take out more development loans to burn on feeding the Buenos Aires hungry mouths warehouse? That's run its course. All they have left to try is Africa style "feed
a child for
a dollar
a day" infomercials on late night tv.
diana_coman: asciilifeform: I spotchecked for each of the days, so far no barf; the sad experience indicates that it's mostly
a matter of actually re-reading ~all of it to spot anything but at least shrysr will help there since he anyway has to re-read.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-08-29 03:37:54 mircea_popescu: dun have to be solved today, we'll live for quite
a while as it stands.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-19 05:47:32 mircea_popescu: trying to meta-smart, pseudothinking in your dumb head "if i were
a literary character and these things happened to me, what'd it mean about the script" will not only fail to deliver any useful predictions (in the sense that it'll work EXACTLY as well as
a RNG-choice, to perfectly fuck you over), but it will actually prevent you from deriving any benefits from the circumstance you're NOT
a fucking literary char
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-19 05:23:36 mircea_popescu: speaking of which, an' considering we're apparently stuck with
a buncha
chrises over here : any of your resident knights capable of registering
a chan on ~any other network~ and writing the bridge code on top of extant bot already ?
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-12 06:24:42 mircea_popescu: (and since we're doing history : anyone know of
a study describing anne hutchinson's self-evident influence upon the concept of
a "witch" in the colonies, and retelling the "witch trials" as her necessary epiphenomenal epigonic downstream ?)
mircea_popescu: so do me
a favour an' never spend your cycles sitting there trying "to figure out" what "
your destiny is". it ain't anything, you're not
a livresque personage. not YET. and you don't HAVE TO BE, either.
mircea_popescu: everyone sitting on ass all day tryna write THE STORY of their life results in some
very limited, sad broken wrecks of lives -- because that's the one thing about fiction : to write
a story, you first and foremost and necessarily MUST CUT MOST LIFE OUT.
