mircea_popescu: all through this seeking my approval in the sense of trying to verify if im all that impressed. i... wasn't fucking impressed, because why the fuck would i be impressed with the male nurse. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: so yesterday i went to a bdsm vip party. this consists of about a hundred people in a hotel rented for the purpose. i brought the hottest girl there, by a fat margin. i took up a loft, with a nice view on the people below, cropped her lightly, fucked her and had a good time. while all this was going on, in a different place they were having an "auction" based on tokens from some dumbass website they have.
asciilifeform: Framedragger: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/5dth6w/who_is_mircea << linked here last night. i left a webirc thing in there. total: 1 click. and 0 words.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: oh, i hear you, i've no love there. but some smart people still hang out there. but, yes, naivete of the youth, i submit that i've nothing to show until i've something to show
mircea_popescu: since thye have no such hope about me, they "don't like" me. and so on. it's an easy enough game to play, but honestly i'd rather move to thailand and "seduce" the local whores, $50 at a time.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: i've seen (and i've posted under a normal-to-their-eyes non-newbie account myself, but mine may have just not attracted interest), fuck them, yes
Framedragger: i would wager a claim that hackernews folk - those who need the money and who click through - would be more motivated and more reflective than tardstalk kids (with large enough sample sizes to confirm). i'll consider finding some suitable wording to be posted there, assuming there being interest.
asciilifeform: sorta how if i throw some gold dust in a crack in city pavement, it will not lead to a gold rush
asciilifeform: btw the same folx who spat on eulora coin -- happily jumped through 1,001 hoops to participate in pyramids on tardstalk etc. because, i suspect, they are not actually stupid, and pyramid offers the dull an opportunity to ~scan next level down~. whereas they could not see where greater fool is to come from at eulora.
mircea_popescu: which is why i got all the fiverr dorks failing miserably - they were simply applying the homer simpson heuristic - "i will now chomp my jaws and if a pie happens to go in the way a well".
mircea_popescu: anyway - the point remains, there are REASONS i / we discredit things. there ACTUALLY WAS A WAY for "bitcoin community" on tardstalk to impress me.
mircea_popescu: i on the other hand paid out 1k btc on a whim.
mircea_popescu: no. i would have obviously been forced to end it eventually. however, they didn't even come fucking close to giving me a run for my money.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform for the record, i pegged same at 1hr rather than 30mins, but anyways.
Framedragger: the *banners.txt's are my partial cleanup, *_err_scan.log's are the original stderr's (with some junk in them). but i will clean this myself later. and siphnos.mkj.lt is where i'll host phuctor-related data. (it's on a separate unused vps, got an 'ok' from $work for now.) ☟︎
Framedragger: asciilifeform: btw banners: i'm yet to clean up the logs (some time next week or thereafter), but just in case you're eager (prolly have lots on yer head tho), here they are: http://siphnos.mkj.lt/datadrop/banners/ ; s1 has 13 files corresponding to the 13 bundles; s2 is from the additional bundle i sent you later (the re-scan + additional hosts). together this constitutes whole ipv4.
mircea_popescu: which means that if i charged them 50k a year for four years in advance - they'd be about even.
asciilifeform: i'd give a literate tank loader , say, 30 min.
asciilifeform: if monkey - i cannot answer , i am not a trainer of monkeys, do not know how long it takes
asciilifeform: it depends -- must i first learn the alphabet ?
asciilifeform: if it actually contains a 'min wage' apparatus inside somewhere, that these folx could theoretically pay rent from, i take it all back.
asciilifeform: so i have nfi
asciilifeform: i'ma stfu re this point, because i never eulora'd.
asciilifeform: as a student i read the thing, expecting the worst, but it was surprisingly sane
mircea_popescu: yes, the one with the "i'm going to describe the object according to genus and species i already have because lulz, my mom fucked herself to the moon"
a111: Logged on 2016-11-20 22:46 mircea_popescu: Framedragger and i suppose the point should be made, that yes wiener-cybernetics is an exercise in being ridiculous.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger and i suppose the point should be made, that yes wiener-cybernetics is an exercise in being ridiculous. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: so you know, yes i do spend my money to make the world a less shitty place but plox don't take this as some sort of free radical ready to be combined with your stubborn refusal and yield whatever nutty interpretation. it ain't that free a radical.
mircea_popescu: more importantly c) intelligent folks know about it but dun seem inclined to try it ; perhaps because preconceived notions (oh, a game is below my intelligence and i couldn't be happy with a black woman), perhaps for whatever other cause.
shinohai: Was the only guy I ever dealt with.
shinohai: In my few dealing on otc, I was fortunate enough to already know someone trustworthy there.
mod6: "i scammed you fair and square! you're a shitty victim! *negrate*"
mircea_popescu: it's soundly set on the footing of "i have no philosophy, just some hobbies to pass the time". americana entire, moreso than picket fences.
Framedragger: iirc theres an essay on technical object, i admit to not reading it in whole, it's in mah list tho.
Framedragger: sure, i guess i catch the drift
mircea_popescu: well... unless you have a camera that works, i have no idea. the pigeons ~themselves~ aren't book-ready.
mircea_popescu: but the important point here i guess is that mpex is a service ; not a publisher. you're essentially asking "how do i include some pigeons in my book"
Framedragger: can i link by ip address? if so, which?
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: i'm putting up a webpage which mentions phuctor, and i want to give reference to S.NSA as the corporation which produced phuctor. how do i link to mpex?
asciilifeform: in the latter - i have nfi. SHIPYARDS!11111
asciilifeform: i dun smell any smoke.
asciilifeform: and i always liked to imagine that a pl/i programmer dies like the proverbial talmudist dies, when a volume of the megalithic encyclopaedia of crapolade finally falls on his head from the top shelf
mircea_popescu: i'm sure.
asciilifeform: there were (and for all i know, still !) periodic conventions where folks would demand MOAR featuritis
asciilifeform has a relative who moved to usa in 1980s and made phat wage programming in PL/I for many many years. it is 'featurism' incarnate, like american legal code. and for roughly same reason.
mircea_popescu: i strongly doubt it actually does any replacing, but hey.
Framedragger: ahaha, 2013: "mircea_popescu: i would never use anything that implements a protocol for any serious purpose anymore."
Framedragger: subjective and context-adjusting / relative, i guess? makes sense
asciilifeform: at any rate from my 'general's armchair' i am hard-pressed to technically distinguish aim, watsap, icq, slack.
asciilifeform: in 2003 i bought a massive hp pa-risc box (complete with emp shielding grates, power supply on wheeled rails, etc) and it turned out to have been an old aol 'messenger' server !
asciilifeform: shinohai: 'slack' is simply today's 'aol messenger', 'icq', same '90s centralized chatroom item. sufficiently similar, on surface, to irc, that i'd imagine folks would be used to the concept ?
mircea_popescu: i don't think the general public is mentally capable of using irc. it just doesn't fit the reddit/disqus/chatroulette/4chan/whatever thing
Framedragger: tbh i think there still are some small subreddits with people. couldn't confirm tho.
asciilifeform: i got acct on reddit 10 years ago now... still remember when there were ~people~ there
Framedragger: i think that many of them do not, in the sense that e.g. you understand "conversation". i don't know. i got that picture when i had spent time on reddit.
Framedragger: maybe not used to irc. "i can't add a shallow-pun-comment and feel like i contributed. i'm supposed to do.. dialogue, or something."
asciilifeform: it is likely from a http://webchat.freenode.net i left in reddit thread somebody put here the other day.
a111: Logged on 2016-11-19 04:41 mircea_popescu: "no, i found it in a plastic bag in the alley behind the hotel where i used to work."
shinohai: I keep trolling ver but he won't block me! @zooko blocked me with a *single* tweet
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: lol, anyways I'm planning to subtitle Xtends going forward so I can tell WTF past extends were roughly about
mircea_popescu: incidentally, did we ever do pl/i ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i love the "immanent trumpreich" bit. kant ftw.
a111: Logged on 2016-11-20 02:43 BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i actually planted a bunch in romania, for the flowers. << Different salvia. Tripping balls salvia has sparse shitty flowers if it flowers.
pete_dushenski: my only defense of that likely fraudulent chart is just that a warped measuring stick is at least wrong in a consistent and predictable way. this assumes all sorts of beneficence on the part of bc.i, however.
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: I don't think you understand the proportion represented by "most" in that usuage. We are talking about a mass economically crippled by their various "employable if X" bullshits.
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: 'the groand tour' isn't available outside us, uk, and i think oz for another month so... nope. looking forward to it though. you ?
trinque: not for long, I'm sure.
shinohai: I had the trinque experience of being completely out-of-head for like 10 minutes
asciilifeform: ( did have strange dream that night, but i often do anyway )
asciilifeform: fwiw i once ate some of its liquid extract (it was at one point freely available in usa, was literally the only type of dope i could physically get !) and it did... zero.
trinque: I might be a sick person, but I thought that stuff was great fun.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i actually planted a bunch in romania, for the flowers. << Different salvia. Tripping balls salvia has sparse shitty flowers if it flowers. ☟︎
trinque: most of the time gc works fine; I am certainly still a student of the language.
trinque: it makes me less anti-lisp and more in favor of using some kind of namespaced wad of memory which I can trash all together explicitly.
trinque: so sure, I called gc myself sometimes, worked
trinque: simplest example I can come up with is that I was consing thing to the front of a list, nil-ing things off the back
trinque: I'm sold on the structure of the language, but I have had times where I wonder why the fuck the gc hasn't kicked on yet, find folks saying "oh you tricked the gc" researching the problem
trinque: I will say that I am not fully sold on automatic memory management yet.
mircea_popescu: trinque ever benchmarked something for resource consumption ? like i dunno, lisp-sha in your implementation vs stock sha in c as provided ?
trinque: if it's a development instance of something, I send along "swank" which lets me summon a repl out of the thing and fiddle internals.
mircea_popescu: i'll take one anyway.
trinque: I tend to use sbcl as compiler, then clim is the UI doodad when one's needed
mircea_popescu: i only count 2.
mircea_popescu: i suppose these will pop up periodically until the end of time.
mircea_popescu: i dun see the problem either way.
Framedragger: i know, i know.
mircea_popescu: i actually planted a bunch in romania, for the flowers.
Framedragger: i think some folks in .lt used to (attempt to) get high on it, to obtain some or other state of delirium
mircea_popescu: d. inoxia i think it was.
mircea_popescu: also i dunno anyone'd wanna try get high on this, iirc mostly scopolamine.
mircea_popescu: really ? i didn't think it grew where it frosts.
shinohai: Virginia, I think I remember the colonists got all high on it.
Framedragger: okay. i'll first do archive.is as i think i just need to change user-agent, and then some time next week can set up curl + bundling thing.
mircea_popescu: i'm still giving phf his space to figure out his feelings re lisp archive.is
Framedragger: (not that you'll call the latter "sites", i'm sure:)
Framedragger: i suppose so. do note that archive.is attempts to retrieve additional resources, including js needed for rendering some sites, etc etc.
Framedragger: so i'll pretend to be someone else, but clearly this is not tenable long-term.
Framedragger: (this explains why PeterL's or whoever's thing used to work, but stopped. i think this is recent.)
Framedragger: you know what archive.is tells me nao if i urlopen it from python?
Framedragger: i think archive.is archivers used to work
