http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2020-01-06#1956654 << this week I've commited to getting
a Gales install and report complete, however next week I was indeed going to work on the final setup and testing for the mp-wp logger. If all goes well I should be free to give it another shot on around the 20th of this month
hanbot_abroad: Wiktionary provides us that the etymology of the word comes from << "provides that" is
a strange construction; generally
a provision is
a thing (hence provides us with) rather than
a fact (provides us that). an obvious exception would be "provides us that thing which is xyz". also
a minor point, just, you know...making
a point of pointing them out lol.
hanbot_abroad: the 'old' French word << the word isn't 'old' as in part of modern french, but just old. Old French is
a language, like Old English; they're sufficiently different (in various aspects, from phonology to spelling to actual vocabulary) from their modern inheritors to warrant different classification. did they give you chaucer to read in school?
hanbot_abroad: " In the end, most of the changes I brainstormed regarding structure did not seem to benefit the content. " << inasmuch as you didn't decide to use those structural changes you contemplated, they did in fact benefit the content --you judged they weren't right, for whatever reason. they're negative space, but just as in
a piece of art they're still *there*.
hanbot_abroad: bvt, diana_coman tyvm for the links. none are the specific itam i'm looking for, though all could be used to segue into the discussion of such, so once i (probably) peter out on the search i'll pick from there...and naturally the re-reading is pleasant. this isn't even
a bad reading compass, throw an idea into chan, enter the reading linkmaze thusly! :D
BingoBoingo: Give me one month to try to shed the alfisms, and make
a hard outreach push to break the 'Qntra looks
a whole like like BingoBoingo's other blog' appearance. I'll include
a day by day in the weekly recaps, and if material improvement isn't showing in
a month... I'll pledge to #ossasepia or #trilema-hanbot if they'll have me in their castles.
mircea_popescu: leaving aside what you say, which is as fine as any sayings ever were i'm sure, who you are (on the basis that is ever determined -- which is, WHAT YOU DO) is this dude who's lazily hitched his cart to what he perceives to be
a moving beast of burden, and whatever, if we take it somewhere fine, and if not, i dunno... nobody could accuse you of being
a lazy ineffectual fuck ?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I'll keep Qntra hosted, and I'll mark
a hard pivot into outreach. I'll start by shooting cazalla an email now to see if he's alive or succumbed to "life's cheaper" in Asia.
BingoBoingo: I'll work on cranking up the outreach now that Pizarro's dead, buried, and done. Last month I made an effort to bring the 'bicycle guy' who'd been doing Pizarro liquidity into the WoT. We met up
a few times to talk Bitcoin and Republic, and the evils of socialism. He kept expressing interest, but around the New Year he went silent. I suspect spawnweight and nagwife did him in.
mircea_popescu: what's next wednesday to do with all this, are we posing for
a popeye cartoon or something ?
mircea_popescu: since you've been running things, you've done
a little that ever diminished, and well... i dunno, never looked at it much, either.
mircea_popescu: from where i'm sitting, the matter's not by wednesday evening. qntra originally started in the other five year plan, you know, not the one ending recently, the one before that. cazalla did
a little outreach, which is part of how eg you ended up there, but then found his way back to the spawnfarms.
BingoBoingo: I'll hammer
a more refined plan out of the paper notebook on the desk and put it on the blog. Should be ready by Wednesday evening.
BingoBoingo: The only walk in on irc has been shinohai, but so far he's not come with written pieces in hand or expressed interest in trying to establish
a disciplined writing workflow. He's just expressed interest without having one of the two things I can say yes to. I can say yes to
a piece or I can say yes to the desire to put together
a workflow to make pieces. So far he isn't bringing either.
BingoBoingo: It's been
a while since I've done one of these sweeps, and I want to see what all the Latinos saying Bitcoin around me are doing, and if any might be able to do disciplined writing.
BingoBoingo: Well, next month I'm inclined to try to meet up will all the folks advertising local Bitcoin trades online. Letting them know what the Republic is, etc. The number advertising themselves here has grown as Argentina's shit itself out of being
a place Venezuelans can do the remittance loop thing.
ossabot: (ossasepia) 2019-10-29 diana_coman: oh my, if I ever start "developing programmers" do me
a favour and shoot me.
hanbot_abroad: meanwhile i'm on
a multi-day search for
a trilema piece that clearly delineated the male mode as "being" and the female mode as "doing"...the uselessness of these key terms makes the search
a drag without some other anchor. anyone remember this/remember something else about it?
mircea_popescu: so you have some grounds to expect that indeed, "clearly labeling
A" does soemthing. nevertheless, what it doesn't do is... solve the problem.
mircea_popescu: you're to come up with some way to deal with the psychological tension on your own, and sure, whatever works for you'd better be good enough. however, what he's saying, and correctly, is that investment in supposed "identity" to resolve the matter's
a way to make yourself dumber than you need to be.
mircea_popescu: this latter bit might even inquire "are you even
a hospital then ?!", and the only proper answer's that... no, you aren't. you're
a hospital for all those other people, but not for pancreatic cancer guy.
mircea_popescu: as time goes by, the first list grows (though the 2nd list doesn't shorten), and so while any cultivared man of means could be
a doctor in 2000, only ~i and such can be de facto "general practitioners" today... wait, nothing's changed.
mircea_popescu: obviously, people are complicated enough such that at ANY point (meaning, in the times of hipocrates as today) there's going to be
a list of very easily remedied dysfunctions and
a list of very unremediable dysfiunctions.
mircea_popescu: the difference between the subsistence hunter and the instagram foodie isn't merely that the subsistence hunter doesn't have marble countertops or cuisinarts.
a point readily verified by giving him some.

mircea_popescu: gales or no gales, the man who can't cat | grep is closer to
a boy than any other man.
mircea_popescu: so you know, as far as the life prospects, the future evolution, however you will name the sum-total potential of
a person's existence, understanding how to command line is more important than meeting their father. it'll certaily do
a lot for them, and it certainly CAN do way the fuck more for them.
mircea_popescu: the fundamental problems are that cli-iliteracy is
a serious, life-changing disability. in terms of severity, blindness compares, deafness does not. obviously the afflicted are scarcely aware, but this doesn't mean they're not afflicted.
mircea_popescu: obviously to
a large degree you'll have to support your people, so you'll be working with their things to begin transitioning to sane things as
a matter of necessity.
mircea_popescu: i don't think there's
a mandatory time where you must irc, anymore than i think there's
a mandatory time when eg people from #ossasepia must trilema or anything.
ossabot: Logged on 2020-01-24 18:42:14 dorion: One middleground we've looked at pivoting to is using
a server with tmux session sharing combined with
a voice or video call. That will provide
a "classroom" experience for both instructor and student from the comfort/convenience of the home office.
mircea_popescu:
http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2020-01-24#1957178 << not like it's forbidden or anything. i'm not saying you should marry all these people or anything like that. i think the way of looking at it is the central problem, once that's well anchored the specific ways you go about it in
a circumstance or another's you know,
a matter of circumstance.
mircea_popescu: look at the expansion angle : if ten days after you've sat down, dude says, "um... so my whole business is fucked by this data conversion problem", as they ALL FUCKING ARE, you must have lived under
a rock somewhere if you believe "western world" "business" in its daily practice at the office is ANYTHING but trying to deal with data formats
mircea_popescu: physical presence also limits me wrt to the sluts i can fuck, both in regards to variety (for instance, the typical redditard chronical masturbator "has sex" with
a much greater variety of women that never heard of him) and in regards to whatever the fuck i can catch from them. like say the common cold, the fewer actual women you physically meet, the less variety of colds you'll get. obviously the subway is RIGHT OUT!!!

trinque: it's that "oh god linux is
a fractal hellscape so I will airgap" solves some problems, and by way of cosmic fact not all
dorion: fyi, I'm currently making
a big photo blog of st. vincent, and on
a deadline.
jfw acknowledges he's
a ways behind here, will try to find
a balance between underinformed and overdelayed responses...

dorion: Panama does have
a more old school, meet in person culture, so we see face to face still as
a good option for building long-term relationships, e.g. makes going for
a drink after class that much easier, but cutting the number in half rather than the full 25.
dorion: One middleground we've looked at pivoting to is using
a server with tmux session sharing combined with
a voice or video call. That will provide
a "classroom" experience for both instructor and student from the comfort/convenience of the home office.
dorion: The lectures and course materials - we provide both digital and hard copy resources - were built around this structure. We've provided hard copies of lectures/in class exerices and homework, in part because they've typically never used
a text editor (though vimtutor is part of the early homework) and pencil and paper brings them back to
a more familiar learning modality.
dorion: At the start, basics like remembering where spaces go in command syntax and the difference between slashes and dashes can trip them up. Thus, sitting next to them
a) gives them some assurance, b) allows the instructor's feedback loop to be shortened because he sees exactly where the mistake is being made and c) makes keeping the sessions within 90 minutes more feasible.
mod6: mircea_popescu: Ok, I have published my trb keccak regrind on the bitcoin.foundation site. It comes with the following: 1. Update to original genesis.vpatch - removes the UTF charater. 2. Added mod6_privkey_tools.vpatch (unchanged fro the original ML posting by myself.) 3.
A manifest file. 4. I've also updated the howto document on thebitcoin.foundation.
mircea_popescu: but it's
a fact : stop trying to put yourself in the way, it will not stop anything and it will fuck you iup.
mircea_popescu: mod6, why are you looking for
a lord to "doubleckeck your work" ~outside~ of the process through which this is done here ?
ossabot: Logged on 2019-09-30 14:06:42 mod6: Hai all, it's been
a pretty intense month - lot going on here. I've left my 9-5 job!
mod6: Also, mircea_popescu, I do have the the entire trb tree (with exception of privkey_tools) signed and ready to go in Keccak. Has been since last January. I havne't been able to find
a Lord who will double check my work though.
a111: Logged on 2017-09-14 05:30 trinque been spelunking in the trb innards
a while, close to wrapped up on
a few little tools to go hexstring->privkey->pubkey->addr relying solely on existing trb innards.
mod6: billymg: Hi, it wasn't included because there was an objection (i'll have to dig the logs for it) to it being included (trinque) because it includes
a class that was deemed unnecessary.
billymg: i was looking through the logs trying to find
a reason why it wasn't included in the main release but couldn't find an answer. are there any caveats/things i should watch out for?
dorion: in other tmsr os updates, I expect to have
a review from
nov 25th to present and plan for february published by this sunday.
ossabot: Logged on 2020-01-22 18:06:39 bvt: dorion: the new v impl is written in
a posix shell + awk + ada; the core algos in ada are perhaps too simplistic, but they work nicely so far; the eta is end of next week
mircea_popescu: maybe he could get
a boad, like the rest of them. an imaginary boat, and you know... just sail, foreverafter...
mircea_popescu: to add the lulz crown on the lulzcow, he's doing all this shameful, obscene self-criting on fucking twitter of all places,
a platform like any other, with
a great history of doing EXACTLY such to
derpy cuckbois just like him.
dorion: I think he got to
a point, probably around 2008 where he decided he'd figured out how ~everything works and stopped learning.
billymg: dorion: very excited for sure. and congrats on already making
a life for yourself outside of the wire
billymg: dorion: i should be there full time in early march, i'll be there for about
a week starting at the end of next

ossabot: Logged on 2020-01-22 18:03:57 bvt: dorion: typically i just go to gym; after vacations i added swimming to the mix (used to do
a lot of that in school), and i like the 'noble tiredness' feeling that it gives
a lot.
mircea_popescu: "how to be
a twelve year old girl" is apparently all that vaunted "us culture" comprised.
mircea_popescu: used to be
a chicks-only thing, we'd sit around with the women and laugh at the lanky colts. but nowadays it's spread.
mircea_popescu: in general, idiots will
a) sabotage any attempt to fix their stupid head and then b) destroy the remains. it's
a narrative approach to the world, this "oh, you're perfect the way you are, don't you ever change, that's your identity" bla bla bla.

ossabot: Logged on 2020-01-21 23:57:55 billymg: damn it feels good being in control of my time again. i spent the morning installing alf's dulap-gentoo on
a lenovo E545 i picked up off ebay, plus some research into the trb setup i'll want for it. i then took
a break in the afternoon to read the origin stories from jfw and dorion, both of which were inspiring/motivating (and i plan to continue with the background articles published recently on other blogs as well
dorion: trinque your blog did the html stripping thing again from my latest
comment; here's the
sauce.
bvt: dorion: slowly getting back into shape after vacations, so far some workslots got sacrificed for more sports. other than that, on the vacation i started to write
a v implementation that would not have the
performance issue; while it's 90% done, need to invest some more time to finish it. after that, will port the fg-rng to 2.6.32
mircea_popescu:
http://archive.is/mEhtD << "Vet Check International" is
a website whose stats are provided "as
a free service to all Scott Web Service web hosting customers", which also includes you know, everyone who isn't
a customer. and, as it turns out, most of the visitors check out... the STATS!!!
billymg: ). i also emailed and heard back from
a lawyer in cr about getting the residency process going, so all in all not
a bad day

billymg: good points. she will certainly have several jobs once we land (running the b&b for one) but in the meantime
a lot of this stuff will just get done faster/better if i do it myself
mircea_popescu: billymg, not that i'm telling you how to run your household, however one approach is to simply send her anyway. "but i have no experience, and it's
a humongous task" "do or die trying, bitch."
billymg: the pet will be joining on that trip, yes. but she still needs quite
a bit of training before she can be sent on
a mission like that on her own (she's at the early end of her 20s)
mircea_popescu: yet ironically, instead of being the very lubricant of movement, "oh, its very easy for me to go to
a new place, i got
a whole retinue of women", moronworld works EXACTLY the opposite, "oh, for all these dumb cunts around i can't go anywhere".
billymg: my focus now has been the move to cr. i've got movers scheduled and
a short trip at the end of this month to scope it out and try to get
a few things set up before i'm fully down there
billymg: in other news i'm now
a free man, last day of the pantsuit job was friday
hanbot_abroad: haha, that's
a...pretty broad circle. so what, height of civilization was canaan?
ossabot: Logged on 2016-11-10 10:38:43 mircea_popescu: look at it from the historical perspective : music was invented in babylon to quell the wail ; because the males there had the wisdom to kill the boys - for "no reason" but did it. then the jews came along and put it in their book to not do sacrifice children - and so the dumb women flocked to them, and they birefly prevailed. only to go to shit in
a handbasket soon thereafter, so much so the fucking short-legg
mircea_popescu: compared to this, catering to the female hunger for calories is
a minor loss.
mircea_popescu: and soon enough farming became an economically impossible activity, because
a land will only produce what it produces, and its silver value will only be what it is, whereas passage of time and accumulation of these benefits is
a monotonously growing function
mircea_popescu: instead of "bitch, if i die you're
a beggar, make sure i very well fucking don't", it was
a "and after i die you get so and so silver each harvest out of your son owning the lands"
