asciilifeform: loox like something else ? does diana_coman want e.g. the mips draft, what w/ some unknown % of bugginess ? for what ?
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i presume 'communicate' dun look like e.g. this ? ☝︎
asciilifeform: i dun know how to photosynthesize, diana_coman .
asciilifeform: diana_coman: also dun hesitate to elaborate. 'get through' re what? 'quit that day job, live on sunlight?'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if i've failed to apprehend the actual item, dun hesitate to elaborate, asciilifeform is grown-up and can be relied on not to cry
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i dun have a wunderwaffe up my sleeve that'd allow me to work 4x faster, or wunderwaffe of such kind that 'do not sack, i have this-here wunderwaffe!'
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, alf reads his own articles.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: maybe he oughta be sacked ! who am i to say
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i like to work with mircea_popescu , and would prefer to continue, but as i understand was already proclaimed a lamer, and why would mircea_popescu want to work with a lamer ? ☟︎
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'm at the tail end of the necessary cycle, was gonna order the irons this wk, and book the flight -- next, but would first rather find out mp_en_viaje's plan ☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform would rather roll out gossipd, trbi, sane comp irons, etc. ~with~ participation of mp_en_viaje , and with working isp, than w/out. but may have to without, apparently.
asciilifeform: next mp_en_viaje will 'sack' the 30% of piz that snsa owns, an' take smg (the item that functions on proper schedule, like train station, where the employees actually paid and dun slave in saeculum) to heathen isp;
asciilifeform: sooo mp_en_viaje doesn't like running sovok fish counter circa 1991, where there aint any fish. and per the charter, owns in effect 100% of controlling shares, so entirely his decision.
a111: Logged on 2018-07-26 03:58 mod6: !!invoice mircea_popescu 0.22505299 S.NSA colocation (dulap) through June 2019
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: what clues suggest it ?
asciilifeform: lol was maybe 20ln since mp_en_viaje last in
a111: Logged on 2019-06-30 00:11 BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: I am suspecting it is a conference joke I missed http://trilema.com/2014/ca-tot-s-a-tras-tot-s-a-fumat-tot-s-a-baut-tot-cum-e-peste-tot-la-fel-ca-peste-tot/#footnote_2_54005
asciilifeform: this model applies moar closely than, i suspect, mp_en_viaje suspects :
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: 'n1' was built at peak of sovok aeronautics, and on proven tech.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: ~0 infiltrants, but plentiful miamiquislings
a111: Logged on 2019-05-31 11:59 diana_coman: asciilifeform: fwiw I enjoy your non-programming output
trinque: asciilifeform: hypothesis is well summarized in a mircea_popescu trilema post I'll find
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: I am suspecting it is a conference joke I missed http://trilema.com/2014/ca-tot-s-a-tras-tot-s-a-fumat-tot-s-a-baut-tot-cum-e-peste-tot-la-fel-ca-peste-tot/#footnote_2_54005 ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2016-08-12 22:39 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-12#1519897 << yes, the us was inconceivably wealthy. i nthat 1985-1990 half decade / 5yrplan it could have literally convinced the globe to do anything. this is ultimate wealth. sadly they decided to use that capital to convince the globe "saddam had nuclear weapons" and "green energy/blabla ecolotardisms and assorted danquayleisms" instead.
trinque: the mircea_popescu/asciilifeform threads are probably the best source historians will have in 3-500 yrs
a111: Logged on 2019-06-27 07:03 mp_en_viaje: trinque, i do not believe you will find such a thing as a useful history of rus' 20th century in this language, like you have say a useful history of the latin centuries 3-5.
BingoBoingo: <mp_en_viaje> where the fuck's the whole manticore thing coming from then ?! << During hanbot's missionary work to tardstalk, the manticore piece was one of the arts commisioned. Don't have the link on hand, but seems like a 2013 thing
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: the manticore, was yours, was drawing on your www header, 'mp rides the manticore'
mp_en_viaje: also, anyone recall the logline where (iirc ben_vulpes ?) described alf being in some sort of oooh, it wasn't manticore, it was valkyrie.
asciilifeform wonders if ordinary hammock too much resembles that rope-and-iron-frames fixator mp_en_viaje described as having built for the pets, and from this can't stomach sitting on it himself
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: thinking about it, would also like to eventually proclaim the mips tool set as a snsa production. but prolly premature for broadcast.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-28 10:23 mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, there's a disease of stupidity, "who the fuck wants tablet, makes smartphone look good, who the fuck wants smartphone, makes atari look good, who the fuck wants atari, makes ibm at look good" etc etc.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: ch20 ( i expect will wrap on sunday ). and how many ch since last broadcast? 3 i think
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i still recall a time when ~errybody with pc compat 'made' in this sense
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: it was pretty common for sovok folx, of all stripes such that could afford summer house, to build w/ own hands
a111: Logged on 2017-11-22 00:50 mircea_popescu: people did that sort of thing, back then. and all the fuckbook tards who paint the dude (rightfully or not, i don't give a shit) as the summum malum never as much as put together a fucking lego box.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-22 00:50 mircea_popescu: but take this forinstance : thorouyghly hated politician active these days MADE his own fucking ARO (70s romanian SUV). OUT OF PARTS. WHICH HE BOUGTH.
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: I'm inclined to believe the split happens as described, but given the marketing of medicine in the US can't rule out some dorks taking benadryl for daytime allergies, Prozac for their sexless depression, and other benadryl for sleep chemically shaping their brain into dementia
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: already 'ended up' . in usa already serious shortage of folx specializing in care of zombies
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo, mp_en_viaje : incidentally nicotine is iirc muscarinic ~agonist~ , and so suggests that from decline of tobacco comes guess what else
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: In this case it seems to be dementia hitting at younger portions of the extended life span. Could be the ones affected younger are more defective. Dementia though tends to be a rot of the cholinergic system.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: not the least bit pissed off. simply must point out that to frame as 'they could not stand' is mistake, it aint as if villagers with pitchforks swapped sovok-1 for sovok-2 , or 2 for 3, etc
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: it's rather like to say 'rome couldn't stand what it has built 4 times'.
asciilifeform: i recall at one pt in mp_en_viaje's www there was 'mediocrity -- intelligence wholly consumed by self-preservation' or how it went.
asciilifeform: is how, per mp_en_viaje's norway piece, they end up with 'yesterday's shirts' etc
asciilifeform: admittedly mp_en_viaje grew up in cluj and not in muhosransk. but the general pattern held. in sovok folx collected bottles, newsprint, to trade for buying b00kz.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-30 17:41 mircea_popescu: but yes, alladin carries a pretty fucking strong scent of "oh, hi, we're ohioan squarejaws wearing bedsheets. totally legit rome sir. rome, ohio."
asciilifeform: ohai mp_en_viaje
BingoBoingo: <mp_en_viaje> in other news, god i fucking love poland << Land of tits and ass?
asciilifeform: it has own idea of 'for where', perhaps. i suspect mp_en_viaje knows moar on subj, might say when wakes up.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-27 07:12 mp_en_viaje: but, fundamentally, what you ask for doesn't exist because the russkis are morons ; and not a little morons, as in neglectful. they're thoroughly and fractally fucked in the head, and thereby they've made for themselves such a history of the 20th century, ~through fucking living it~ as no sane human being could readily follow.
a111: Logged on 2019-03-13 20:42 asciilifeform: does anyone recall old thrd where mircea_popescu linked to a youtube clip of some idiot kid smashing up ancient car that his father gave him, 'cuz not mercedes' ?
a111: Logged on 2018-12-19 18:21 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: puzzlers like those, make e.g. bolix look trivial ( consider, bolix physically exists and is sitting in asciilifeform's tortureroom , whereas beria et al's docs were afaik carefully burned )
a111: Logged on 2018-12-01 22:13 mircea_popescu: you can't legally do anything but die quietly in a corner.
billymg: buying property in tropical_beach_location also seems like least questioned way of moving fiat, seeing as how retiree expats do it all the time. otherwise would probably just rent first
billymg: mp_en_viaje: sounds good
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: iirc e&y is a carrion-eater, comes to finish off dying corps and feast on corpse
asciilifeform: it'd not surprise asciilifeform if mp_en_viaje said that he still owns acres of buenos aires, on off chance that he ever needs to park some nuke waste somewhere
a111: Logged on 2019-06-26 10:33 diana_coman: what can I say, to me it reads over-and-over again like all the group-thinking ever did: if we do it, it's all right because we are ALL doing it, if s/he does it, it is wrong because it's outside the group
a111: Logged on 2014-12-10 00:51 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu had an article (or perhaps a thread here? but can't seem to find it...) about an archetypical u.s. expat. fellow keeps a pub somewhere in thailand, or cambodia, etc. the locals - drink for free. he fancies that if he begins to run out of dough, he can always start charging. but somehow in the back of his head he knows what will happen to his sorry arse if he were to do so.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2014-12-10#949583 is what i was thinking ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2019-06-26 19:13 mp_en_viaje: prolly a better bet to buy real estate in ukraina or syria than costa rica. it's always good to buy in places the pantsuits just finished "helping" and sell in places they're just about to start "helping".
a111: Logged on 2019-06-26 19:21 mp_en_viaje: forget the "b&b" bs, there's 5`000 of them and most don't make money.
billymg: mp_en_viaje: ty for the perspective on this. if it's not out of line to ask, have you left cr behind for good?
bvt: well, building is actually trivial -- sed 's/aarch64 x86_64/x86_64 mipsel-sf/' build-ada-arm64.sh > build-ada-mipsel.sh ; i'll do a post about this, but this'd be all the technical meat in it
billymg: mp_en_viaje: what do you think of the puntarenas region in cr?
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: imho it goes with the 'vhs america'(tm) that these folx moved into, in heads, when moved. and feeding corzine is part and parcel of the 'rent' for living in this fantasy
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: Qntra now has selection-magic hacked in http://qntra.net/2019/06/monitors-report-in-quadracx-bankruptcy-reveals-a-clusterfuck/#selection-59.27362-59.27613
a111: Logged on 2019-06-26 09:15 mp_en_viaje: and btw, why doesn't the qntra select work, i have to use archive /
a111: Logged on 2019-06-26 09:15 mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, so did that "bitcoin financier" in his own mind kill himself for having "traded" opm into nothingness ? his "unaccessible wallets" totalling ~100 btc dun really match the ~300mn figure in claims.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-26 10:06 mp_en_viaje: scammers indicting scammers for being scammers
asciilifeform: ( unlike e.g. mp_en_viaje , wouldn't notice the broken clubs etc )
asciilifeform: iirc mp_en_viaje showed up in argentinistan with railcar of green, didn't help any moar than in any other sovok
a111: Logged on 2019-06-25 17:45 mp_en_viaje will not go asking google to pretty please discharge some nibblets from the usenet archives it stole, in its own judgement.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: pretty sure you had a piece re how handing out payola to lumpens results in $25 bottle of soda etc
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: my last pass through panama was esp. outrageous, they set up an impromptu baggage & pocket search queue ~on arrival from usa~ for no detectable reason
a111: Logged on 2018-02-02 21:26 mircea_popescu: phf you can also book with a day+ layover in panama on your way back. for one thing you get to see the place and despise panama for good reason rather than by hearsay ; for the other flight over here is ~1hr ~every hour.
asciilifeform: naggum actually described, in ~exactly mp_en_viaje's terms
asciilifeform: ohai mp_en_viaje
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: Would the piece in question happen to be this one? http://trilema.com/2013/the-stock-warrant-instrument-explained/
a111: Logged on 2019-06-25 08:35 mp_en_viaje: anyone remember which trilema i delved into a discussion of the separation of pay / benefit and how it drives up costs ?
a111: Logged on 2019-06-25 13:15 mp_en_viaje: http://archive.is/0bdxh#selection-227.514-227.602 << item. and btw, nobody (as in, the various eaterias) in airport has wifi, because "the airport has wifi". which it does -- i think the whole thing runs off a dial-up modem, i'm getting 5kb/s over here. so much for "internet weks".
a111: Logged on 2019-06-25 13:43 mp_en_viaje: i was the only one actually looking to dress a criminal complaint, everyone else mostly doing bureaucratica, picking up OFFICIAL PAPERS, some dood checking if his driving license is good...

a111: Logged on 2019-06-25 13:30 mp_en_viaje: anyway, wrong molds in cr. it's not possible to get sourdough going, for instance.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-25 13:08 mp_en_viaje: lol. nah, still oslo airport, getting the fuck iut of this shithole.
mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, you know... italy is 5 hours away, as compared to 12.
mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, incidentally, that was EARLY. it got way the fuck worse later, so much worse in fact the thing kept spinning on itself. this very placid police officer was patrolling the place, discovered he can't pass... just ... no problem, turned back.
a111: Logged on 2019-02-15 17:45 diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-15#1896926 -> this failed precisely in the same way; need to get to the bottom of it really because Adacore's gnat otherwise IS compiled with sjlj so wtf
ave1: diana_coman, Thanks, I will look for it (I had problems like these before with other steps last year)
a111: Logged on 2019-05-16 21:39 nicoleci: mp_en_viaje, it shows that people from linkedin viewed my profile and like asciilifeform said, why just delete the company instead of the whole profile
asciilifeform: nighty night mp_en_viaje
asciilifeform: in the flagship branch, it comes into play as base case when 8 or fewer words in multiplicand
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i 99% expect it ~will~ get snipped from the asm branch.
asciilifeform: aaand pretty much 90% of mircea_popescu's 'uci' ( i.e. you can plant this wherever, and get artificial 'box' w/ specified os & proggies... )
a111: Logged on 2017-11-19 05:19 lobbes: Currently going down the headless-browser path ben_vulpes suggested. Looking into phantomjs atm, which seems like it could do the job. I have an old craptop I'm thinking of using as the proverbial 'public toilet' to house it on. (This is the same craptop I was planning to put a trb node on. I put a spanking-new ssd in there but then realized that the ethernet dun work anymore; wifi only. May be a good use for the thing to just be a turd server in
a111: Logged on 2019-06-24 12:27 mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-24#1919763 << so what, a new era of redistributing binaries dawns ?

asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i can't resist to ask, why went to oslo ? what's there, other than tomb of naggum ? ( i dun even know where it is, cannot help to either piss on it or to put flower )
diana_coman: mp_en_viaje: lolz, what does Norway/Oslo offer so much worse than all the rest?
