mod6: mircea_popescu:
true
mod6: This is worthwhile. I've got a vector
that I'd like
to start into with sales -- as far as a market. Maybe one of
these guys could help me get going.
mircea_popescu: worst case, you're out whatever drinks among old acquaintances cost you.
there's worse fates.
mircea_popescu: alright, so make a list of
the few, walk up
to
them and explain what problem you're encountering, and ask whether
they'd be willing
to either mentor or participate.
mod6: Maybe a few, here and
there over
the years.
mod6: I've spent my life behind a screen, so it doesn't come very naturally
to me.
mod6: I don't
think
those skills rubbed off.
mod6: Well, it's not
that I don't want
to, I'd like it if we could somehow get
the
train moving down
the
track. Just worried
that I don't have
the know-how for
this.
mircea_popescu: do you in principle not want
to / want
to never run a business ever ?
a111: Logged on 2018-10-01 15:43 mod6: Pizarro, on
the other hand, I'm more of a fish out of water.
mod6: Good
thing
trb has burned off many warts. However, some warts are so deep, would kill
the paitent.
mod6: I am somewhat sad about
the state of
the bitcoin poc as created by satoshi, but I'm still very much glad we have it.
mircea_popescu: "law enforcement officials and bureaucrats are
the only known demographic interested in consuming child porn." << word.
mod6: I refuse
to hate on
the guy, really.
mircea_popescu: bitcoin was originally designed
to work in
the manner kids run doom --
turn it on now and again
mod6: he must have operated under
the impression
that guy reboots his windows machine every day or some wild idea.
mod6: Thanks for
the work/analysis.
mircea_popescu: lookup is hard, and if he makes it
the size it shnould be, it might crash.
mircea_popescu: the previous
time, it was about "names -- only names in
their own heads", djb, rms, whatever.
mircea_popescu: this
time it's about "make
them" rather
than "pre-existing"
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Still somehow
this year Mocky fished himself up and defected
to
the Republic

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-01#1856376 << yet new ones are born every day.
thousands of girls underwent puberty as we sat and spoke
today, are
they also excluded, "all women
that'll ever be are already here" ?
mircea_popescu: in any case,
the " mod6 left by himself in empty hall of foundation" not so sane situation for a mod6
to find himself into.
mod6: mircea_popescu: ah, ok, which is basically how
the charter reads in
that section 0x2 para 3.
mircea_popescu: i don't recall now if
this was specifically said re foundation or only re qntra, but
the
two are ~same period, in any case,
mircea_popescu: ~then~, after
that gets established, one can step down, add another, and so on. like a steps process, with continuity and everything.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i have
this vague notion
that
the idea always was
that you
two will at some point summon a
third.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-30 00:07 mircea_popescu: mod6 do you want
to name someone
to join into
the chairdom ?
mod6: Oh, you wanted a
third? I didn't catch
that.
mircea_popescu: well... ok, but
that is a latter development
that'd be a separate issue. you'd want a
third AND a mod6 replacement
then.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-01 14:28 asciilifeform: way i see it, if hanbot
takes over mod6's duties,
then oughta at least carry on what he was doing ( i.e. maintenance of
the flagship
tree,
testing of candidate patches )
mircea_popescu: but it ... fucking is. and
they have a binary format now,
too. saw
that ?
mircea_popescu: "some people who don't give a shit made
this slop out of something or
the other" mcdrepperism.
mircea_popescu: "no --
they're doing it
the wrong way with
the wrong women, it does nothing for me"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in
the sense "the whole idea of
the fuck channel is
to do your fucking for you". you gonna watch fuck channel ?
mircea_popescu: (which is -- a bug ridden, half assed, "universal" ie dysfunctional, implementation of
THE SAME SCRIPT)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform have a script
that collates
the logs you want and produce a flow.
mircea_popescu: so
the cost of having
the computer equivalent of "mains breaker" is so disproportionately immense,
the 9000 wires gain exponentially.
mircea_popescu: because UNLIKE electrics, where
the flow is pantsuiot, and any portion of wire == any other, computers are hierarchied.
the early portions of wire priviledged over
the later.
mircea_popescu: HOWEVER, computing-electrical engineering befuddles
this intuition. for computers -- much betterf
to have
the wires
than
to fuck
the upstream design
mircea_popescu: now, intuitively, and from an actual electrical engineering standpoint, it seems intuitively right -- "rather
than have wires
through house connecting 9000 breakers, just have a mains breaker".
mircea_popescu: but you can't open one.
the question is how you rig
the opening of
the 9000 hoods.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-01 14:25 diana_coman: I
think
that's precisely what
the chairs need
to figure out: "what might fit under
this " and be useful, ofc
mircea_popescu: but i very much disagree "systemwide" "log mechanism" is either acceptable or necessary. leaving "a good idea" way far behind and
to
the left.
BingoBoingo: log in directory daemon already read/writes, simplifies future ports
to BeOS, DOS, etc
mircea_popescu: and
thjis is what i'm sayuing :
this is misdesigned. i'm not about
to fuck my system so some moron somewhere can miswrite his program.
mircea_popescu: if you don't care
to give item permission
to write, stfu about log.
mircea_popescu: very fit for
the logging specificallty discussed here.

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-01#1856366 << imo syslogger should be abolished altogether. before systemd it wasn't obvious
to me what it is -- but now, plenty obvious. "unified logging"
terrible idea.
diana_coman: mod6, I know what you mean re
too-many-things-at-once (from my pov also, ideally 1 at a
time but
that's a luxury
that I rarely get
to fully indulge in, what can I say)
a111: Logged on 2018-10-01 14:23 asciilifeform: diana_coman:
that's uncharted
territory..
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-01#1856381 << kinda
the idea
though -- if uncharted
territory stays uncharted... well ? what are we,
the folk living across from zanzibar, waiting for indonesians
to come over and discover it, because it's easier for
them
to cover 5k miles
than for us 50 ?
☝︎ diana_coman: yes, it's better stated
that way: focused but not limited
to
trb
mircea_popescu: the "focused" part is imo not in dispute.
the "limited
to" part,
though, maybe ?
a111: Logged on 2018-10-01 14:22 diana_coman: asciilifeform, my understanding is
that
tbf's scope is not limited
to
trb, nor focused specifically mainly on
trb
mircea_popescu: the girl i last fucked in
the ass was... NINE years old last i visited
the us. and at
the
time i last visited
the us, "all
the women
that were with me -- were with me" also.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-01 14:22 asciilifeform: ( and imho all of
the people qualified
to work on
trbi, are already here,
they dun need
to see duck races
to be persuaded
to come... )
