mircea_popescu: or what, ernst & young ? "oh, they did it" ?
mircea_popescu: you are talking of a world that only exists in your own imagination.
asciilifeform: and cpa is a contractor, and theoretically liable for 'oops, wrong form'
asciilifeform: errywhere i've seen with own eyes, these were separate desks
mircea_popescu: there's 0 slack on one hand ; and the whole thing is powered on "mistake". ☟︎
asciilifeform: that'd be in the cpa, not hr
mircea_popescu: most of these people ~are poor~. single clerical error in hr can destructure a firm through the simple procedure of "director" is now "inmate" as can not afford to pay tax bills ?
mircea_popescu: sold house at wrong time, added to "401k" wrong amount, bla bla bla.
mircea_popescu: do you realise that ~the whole item is powered out of"clerical error" ? "you put wrong x on wrong color form, now you owe six figures" ?
mircea_popescu: no, seriously. this is the live-on-boat thing all over again.
BingoBoingo: I can't imagine there is a surplus of HR chix capable of working alone or in sufficiently small groups to avoid creating a culture of drama.
asciilifeform: small firms get to outsource the ritual to corps of professional priests, they mail in the mandatory oaths, slide decks, etc .
BingoBoingo: Well, that's probably why the condensed their HR department to this single HR operator.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: typically that's at large galleys where there's 4 or 5 of'em
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Catch is if they hire the wrong secretary, they are the next firm to implode
asciilifeform: ( i imagine, triggering a kind of domino cascade, whoknows )
asciilifeform: erry slave galley i've ever toiled on, solved this problem by... hiring secretary from the actively-imploding firm next door
mircea_popescu: outsiders can't readily appreciate the sheer POVERTY of all these chosen sons.
asciilifeform: so they sit for a day without a secretary until hire new one
mircea_popescu: the ineluctable fate of dead empire, stuck pretending, is that everything's a succession of single points of failure.
asciilifeform: ah the http://trilema.com/2018/the-leak/ people
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, picture also the morons making all the "smart" airport humiliation technology, golf club in one hand, martini in another, trying to figure out how their entire hr dept imploded over the weekend and what to do about it./
asciilifeform: ( auto still elementarily includes odometer an' fuel gauge, can't exactly hide the figure )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: afaik the car people still required to publish 'mpg' in usa. the konsoomer simply told to suck it.
asciilifeform: i can picture the intel execs, golf club in one hand and martini in other, 'why didn't we think of this before' 'hey next time let's not just prohibit benchmark, but only if answer isn't what we like' 'brilliant, this will be at next board agenda'
mircea_popescu: and pravda wasn't allowed to publish benchmarks anymoar ?
asciilifeform: apparently the vw people weren't quite 'smart' enuff to try an' prohibit mileage benchmark
asciilifeform: the diesel thing ? aha
mircea_popescu: heh, remember when "car manufacturers", got dekulakized by the pantsuit, resulting in some shit packaged in ye olde "mercedes" "wv" etc boxes, which then didn't work worth a shit ?
asciilifeform: whip, whip that hellespont!

phf: ave1: ah thank you, i forgot that i kept the two separate. the folder is not exposed, but i'll merge the two together. there's also an even older (spotty) log from apr 2012 to oct 2013, that includes pre #b-a #bitcoin-otc content, that's available through btcbase, but exists only in xchat (?) log format, that i parse
Mocky: completely unknown to me
Mocky: aha, I suspected something like this would surface
mircea_popescu: Mocky answered ; prepare to mindblown ?
asciilifeform: i'ma have to read this wonder
mircea_popescu: support for they naive is not worth having. know what talking to a computer means as part of your existing in the world, which is to say, outsider of the harem where some slave spawned you.
mircea_popescu: you are talking to a computer ; if you open a tag you close it ; nobody gives a shit what you ~thought~ the alphabet meant.
mircea_popescu: support for this bs is how html soup became a thing.
mircea_popescu: how about people learn to write proper html for once ?
mircea_popescu: imo current parser right thing -- it removes all non-permitted tags, which includes all non-terminated tags.
asciilifeform: this item's actually on my list for if/when i live to get to wpism patches
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in principle this type of inbandism is curable, with simple pill, lookahead parser -- if not ~actual~ html, comment is processed as plain text. rather than the 'oops here's a < so i'ma drift off into stratosphere' existing nonsense
phf: asciilifeform: well, i suppose _i_ was expected to say "oh it's just a SAT"
asciilifeform: phf, mircea_popescu : i half-expected 'lol noshit, any puzzler can be written as A* search, this is copout' lol
a111: Logged on 2018-06-25 22:10 asciilifeform: but this is 'obvious to alert reader'(tm)(r)
Mocky: ok, done. thx
mircea_popescu: imo this is a fine example to teach the failure of "no inband!!!"
lobbesbot: phf: Sent 5 hours and 50 minutes ago: <ave1> found the raw logs here http://btcbase.org/log-raw/, this go back to 2016. Do you also have the raw logs before #trilema? and could I download these somewhere (I tried to search the log but, so far seems to be looking for a pin in a haystack)
phf: asciilifeform: beat me to it, re puzzler as graph traversal
asciilifeform: pretty sure i stepped on this mine at least once
mircea_popescu: anyway, repost your whole thing and ima delete the abortive attempt
mircea_popescu: do not do that.
Mocky: mircea_popescu, i just added a comment to puzzler blog post but seems cut off mid way
asciilifeform: ( https://archive.is/OPdaD << the old piece of that title, for anyone who cares )
mircea_popescu: there's no fucking reason "directly available". not all sets gotta be the same kinds of sets.
mircea_popescu: none of the usual bullshit, "why something rather than nothing" "what is god" bla bla bla.
mircea_popescu: this, incidentallty, being the only metaphysics question worth asking
mircea_popescu: as the perdurant reader no doubt noticed, i'm a great restationist.
asciilifeform: ( to draw it as a graph, lay out only moves that 'conserve mass' )
mircea_popescu: "how the fuck is it that i can restate alf's fg problems in terms of a mmorpg ?" and so on.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-28 14:25 mircea_popescu: there's an imbecile's view of "intelligent design" being floated about (mostly by people who are looking for a strawman, and reconstructed by them for this purpose). here's the correct version :
mircea_popescu: if you recall ye olde http://trilema.com/2014/the-miracles-that-matter/ (especially in the light of http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-28#1759562 style arguments), it should be obvious this is a sort of private mp worship ☝︎
asciilifeform: the odds/evens aspect gives it a 'nim' flavour , so there might be a seekrit optimization..
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i was thinking of your puzzler: if you want always optimal path, it afaik reduces to A* search. actually quite similar to pcb routing. ☟︎

asciilifeform: in similar lulz, 'libXcursor could write one byte out of bounds when processing Xcursor theme files. In certain cases, such as when used in the Firefox web browser, this could be used as part of an exploit chain to allow further attacks on an X client process...'
lobbes: psa: looks like my box that houses the archive-o-matic went offline on Friday. It back up and eating through backlog; www should update sometime in the next ~ 2 hours >> http://lobbesblog.com/queryarchive/view_domains.php ☟︎
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> mountains of rubbish, there , also, the guards aint paid to pick it up << There are crews going around painting bouys assigned to land duty, I suspect preparations for summer are beginning
asciilifeform: they took and burned his tent and pickets, and arrested the imitators who tried to make new one
asciilifeform: speaking of which, there was a 'designated' hobo who for 30 yrs sat on the pavement there, unmolested, with picket signs 'end nuke reich' or to that effect
mircea_popescu: reminds me of the shitting-down-nuke-tube thing
mircea_popescu: just patrol through it, right.
asciilifeform: mountains of rubbish, there , also, the guards aint paid to pick it up
asciilifeform: that street has very unpleasant atmosphere, i avoid it on the rare occasions when going into town
mircea_popescu: always the same one ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: street around whitehouse is hilarious themepark of lulz, 3 polizei and 1 german shepherd for erry tourist
asciilifeform: ( 'only a terrorist'(tm) could think to ask, why hero did not drive his truck to white house )
mircea_popescu: worked so well for the ming, too...
asciilifeform: and they immediately built 'forbidden city', ming china style, around white house etc.
BingoBoingo: Well, fuel oil and the right fertilizer, and if you search Mcveigh in wikipedo it goes to a disambiguation page listing 2 seperate timothy mcveighs born in the 1960s
asciilifeform: d00d was to set off a theatric 'bomb', per the script, but showed up with working one
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: that particular escapade had smell of provocateurs (who got 'more than bargained for') all over it tho
BingoBoingo: Back when people talked about the other pants clinton
BingoBoingo: Can't forget the organized retailiation strike in Oklahoma City to avenge Waco and Ruby Ridge
asciilifeform: recall, the ones where usg confiscated their life insurance post-facto
asciilifeform: (afaik the only such case on Official record)
asciilifeform: ( on rare occasions, the dylan finds a klebold, and they go bang as a duet, but this is uncommon )
asciilifeform: tho the mechanics of the biology, i suspect, work against it, when d00d 'goes t-cell' he closes in, in rightful mistrust of stoolies and 'helping hands'
asciilifeform: i expect at some point their !!key will work
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'ma go with the trad 'liberate' !11
