asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ( asciilifeform never used fetlife.. ) why is it that the bois are able to read your slutograms ? ( are all posts public ? )
asciilifeform: ( for all i know, it could still be the best example available. but, still , nuts )
asciilifeform looks at 'ircd-ratbox' , somewhat astonished at the mass, coupla MB of src (moar than, e.g., trb)
trinque: works alright, oughta spend more time with it before recommending. claimed to be what runs efnet.
deedbot: http://trilema.com/2018/how-do-you-like-being-a-twerking-wigger-slave-on-my-internet-lulzcow-farm/ << Trilema - "How do you like being a twerking wigger slave on my internet lulzcow farm ?"
asciilifeform: nsa tape swap day.
trinque: freenode is as shitty as ever, not that I'm grabbing that as a catch-all for weird behavior
mircea_popescu: i also don't know how i picked as example THE ONLY EXAMPLE
mircea_popescu: i have nfi how ; but out of the 200 or so otps one died en route.
trinque: I did nothing, the man had an OTP spare out of the many. it happens
trinque: he's seriously going to keep on with the "buggy" thing eh?
mircea_popescu: yet another one of the very many disadvantages for the cattle outside the walls, is that our private lives are public matters for them, that they can't touch. whopsee.
asciilifeform: i dun necessarily disagree with above, but must point out possibly mislabeled reactor control, either l1-issued rating is a public event, and then really oughta be part of forum record; or otherwise it is strictly 'between us gurlz , and gotta ask erry time'; but right now n00b could not tell that it ain't meant to be entirely the former
mircea_popescu: me will link here an article he's publishing later, because "I really feel no need to be notified each time my dumb bimbo and some random loser exchange e-grams." is worthy quote.
asciilifeform: pharma biz much moar effective, lay down 1m idjits at a time..
mircea_popescu: medicine only kills one idiot at a time.
mircea_popescu: you wouldn't operate on basis of wikipedia. what, you think lordship less serious than medicine ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what then is point of deedbot www , if 'oughta ask every time'
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> Mocky: not if squelched to l1-raters only <
mircea_popescu: and seriously, this "i shall use wot without talking to people" tack is self defeating. the ONLY item wot tells you is whom to ask. nothing more. absolutely nothing more.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform meh, why add all the states.
a111: Logged on 2018-07-21 20:40 trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-20#1836797 << that one just didn't take
trinque: what is this buggy shit?
asciilifeform: trinque: imho it is ugly that ratings of and by l1 folx can happen ( or, if buggy , not happen, lol ) with 0 log footprint
trinque: also sounds like "feature creep in response to circumstance that isn't really killing anybody"
asciilifeform: Mocky: not if squelched to l1-raters only
asciilifeform: deedbot already 'speaks out of turn' tho when rss pings
trinque: no, because the thing considers $placeToRespond = $sourceOfCommand
asciilifeform: then again technically this'd go against mircea_popescu's 'speak when spoken to' dictum for bots, so oughta ask him 1st
asciilifeform: seems to me that this would solve problem, and without demanding that folx !v etc inchan
asciilifeform: trinque: would it be difficult to make deedbot announce ratings in-chan when they happen ?
Mocky: seems like mircea_popescu tends to !!v in private. everyone sees intent, nobody knows when concretized
trinque: I'll still see about narrowing the loop when I find time
mircea_popescu: what the fuck
deedbot: mircea_popescu rated elaineo 2 at 2017/09/26 04:47:52 << somehow manages to write unirritatingly while also academia. i have yet no theory as to how this is possible.
a111: Logged on 2018-07-20 16:49 mircea_popescu: trinque but i look : http://archive.is/2I97y#selection-12063.1-12079.110
trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-20#1836797 << that one just didn't take ☝︎☟︎
BingoBoingo: And there may be a couple days requiring more than a day to digest
mircea_popescu: 2/day is still pretty good, you'll be caught up before you die. i expect it's actually the natural limit
esthlos: current plan is to push the reading hard I can manage next few weeks, and get a better sense of the sustainable rate
esthlos: speaking of which asciilifeform : past two weeks have shown that 4 logs a day is unsustainable. my log reading time is not decreasing as I had hoped it would
mod6: yeah, i like this ^
mircea_popescu: i suppose this is true.
asciilifeform: sorta what death is, neh; head, arse, 'go their own way', stomach happily digests self, gut bacteria open up 'independent biznis' while there's fat to eat.
asciilifeform: goes back to the fundamental thread, of why 'brain' packed off to miami, milan, etc.
mircea_popescu: for the exact same money, could have had brain.
mircea_popescu: same could be said of whatever tmsr reject. yet THEY DIDNT HAVE TO not have a brain
asciilifeform: post-'85 or so, there was no brain.
mircea_popescu: amusingly, 100% of requisites were on the table. just, blockhead "leadership" assembled pc into wooden block.
mircea_popescu: all graham's wank re "omg, what does it take to produce silicon valley" is entirely besides the point. what it takes to produce the town is the town-lie, and "take your pick of teenaged cunt, weekly auctions" is much better implementation of that than mission district's own "money for nothing".
mircea_popescu: and the above, ftr, is not idle "woulda coulda". i actually did send both people and materiel, and even followed briefly in early 2000s, research expedition.
asciilifeform: re the other kind ( 'It's a forced thing, which they don't enjoy and at which they're therefore not any good, predictably enough' ) reminds me of shalamov's anecdote where 2 gulag zeks hear a call for carpenters and say 'me, me, i'ma carpenter' despite never having held a saw 'because what, any idjit can cut wood' and promptly falling into lulz
mircea_popescu: not ~easy~ to compete with milan, but spring over idiots-speaking-idiot-language is not a pushover.
asciilifeform: not so easy to compete with milan, where, what, 7 months of springtime
mircea_popescu: all the better ones were out of there.
asciilifeform: afaik there was no shortage of whores etc. in '95 ( and even some mircea_popescus ) , didn't seem to help
mircea_popescu: if russia went as described, i'd have likely moved there when i was looking around in early 2000s
mircea_popescu: coupled with a general feeling of "cheap life" (ie, all the ukr whores going to moscow instead of milan), it'd have attracted, eg, me.
mircea_popescu: and in a decade of figuring shit out, they may have found something. that's ~their~ fucking job.
mircea_popescu: the reason soviet industry imploded was lack of demand. construction drives all sectors, the building itself would have bought them ~decade to figure shit out.
asciilifeform: su circa '90 was , sure, 'healthy but for one thing', like the organs of guillotined man.
asciilifeform: and i'll admit, it is unclear still to me where the inhabitants of '100mn sqm of hruscheba' were to be employed , fed with what. su industry imploded, the ex-su space is to this day a land of ruined factories with missing roofs , like the outskirts of timis.
asciilifeform: plox to expand ?
asciilifeform: he's the fella with the biggest raft, even has identifiable pieces of the bridge and periscope still attached, is all.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform made wrong raft the wrong way. mine fucking floats. theirs floated so fucking well, putin's cut their heads off.
mircea_popescu: this is EXACTLY like, instead of using programmable machines to talk to every girl on fetlife and enslave some, i'd use them to "start-up". because "san francisco never said it wants a bunch of enslaved women with computers".
asciilifeform: ~none of the managerial caste showed any symptom of desire to keep the boat floating, but plenty of enthusiasm re tearing off choice planks to make rafts.
mircea_popescu: who the fuck asked shittington any fucking thing jesus christ.
asciilifeform: to the extent there was a logic, i suspect it was a venezuelan logic, 'washington will pay for titanium and petro, but didn't say it wants 40mil aboriginals with these'
asciilifeform: su brass was in full nest-feathering miami mode, the d00d who sold the coal that was meant to keep primorye above 0c in winter being prime example
mircea_popescu: just those 10 trn cubic meters of poured concrete would have created "russian miracle" by itself.
mircea_popescu: i'd say "they should have come to #trilema and asked", but i guess they get a break for pre-trilema age.
mircea_popescu: fuck them with a sharp stick for being condolezza rice without even being niggers.
mircea_popescu: eh gimme a break. everyone fucking knew except for the "factors responsible"
mircea_popescu: the way they went, ended up "crisis", usg fuckpuppet.
mircea_popescu: they TOTALLY should have laid track, brought in the cranes, prefab to the skies.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform eh, that was rank nonsense. VERY fucking stupid choice. 1990 ru was a) perfectly equipped to produce 10-100mn smq of hruscheba living space per month. b) 1990s ru was EXACTLY in the position where the best use for its effort was to do just that. buy the losers 30 years in which to decide if they really wanted petrograd residence.
ben_vulpes rattles trinque's cage
asciilifeform: naturally orlol omits to mention ~why~ ru immigration laws. ( there's a quite straightforward prime mover -- millions of su plankton formerly living in various newly-'independent' goatfuckistans packet suitcases in '90s and all tried to squeeze somehow into moscow and petrograd , quite impossible to fit )
asciilifeform: ^ he moved there, and still only counts as 'tourist'
mircea_popescu: lmao. so great that the fucktard pantsuit fought apartheid. 10 years later, they can fight the first white massacre since haiti.
BingoBoingo: AHA, back in old country they did Malathion
asciilifeform: when 'shopping center' or 'condo block' monstrosities built in usa , they also seem to invariably feature what is by all appearances a purpose-built mosquito breeding pond.
mircea_popescu: hey, third world shithole is third world shithole, what.
a111: Logged on 2018-07-21 09:59 spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-20#1836601 <-- afaik they make aggressive use of k-othrine (possibly others) in public places. /me has been hearing the bug-spray cars consistently pass by during warm seasons. I dun remember being stung by mosquitoes for more than a coupla times in the last few years.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-21#1836936 << this might be the key re why mosquito hell in usa 'suburbia' -- the only public land there, is the asphalt. ( who wants spraying , has to specifically pay , and they come and spray out poison that kills errything that moves, frogs, cats, dogs, etc ) ☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: country of great tombs, and ??? people, sorta like egypt ( iirc mircea_popescu did egypt, wouldja say similar ? )
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform notrly. lotta people had btc for accident, in the 2010s.
mircea_popescu: except when subs don't work by themselves, of course. that's unfair comparison.
asciilifeform: still interesting that somebody might have btc but can't muster pesos.
mircea_popescu: prolly 3x like brits, because gotta show they to real country.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: oh ha, they taxed'em, didn't they. like brits.
asciilifeform: i think his bot is just a grep in the old ro idiom dict
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform conceivably hadn't the dough.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: was thinking, about your argentines : remember the oddball who ordered FG and never picked up at the post ? i still can't fathom.
spyked: (currently bot only looks up expr dictionary. if anyone is interested by this functionality and wants moar, lemme know)
a111: Logged on 2018-06-05 12:49 spyked: I'm reserving another bot for the rss functionality. but I want to use spykedbot to make a small trilemabot example for implementing prefixed commands. spoiler: I have some code that looks up definitions in asciilifeform's ro-en dictionary ( http://www.loper-os.org/?p=2211 ), it's the smallest application that I could find that also does something useful.
spyked: this will serve as demo for trilemabot command handling, as per http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-05#1820730 ☝︎
spykedbot: a acoperi cheltuielile, a face fata cheltuielilor: to meet the expenses
spyked: also works the other way around:
