asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: europistan's deepest nature preserve, neh. 1000 y.o. trees, bison who died errywhere else 400y ago; why not also komsomol then ?
asciilifeform: pet of asciilifeform is (2 gens out) from there.
asciilifeform: sorta like a less militantly-retarded ukristan
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: haven't been , but it's on the short list of where to move if/when jailbroken
asciilifeform: reportedly indeed is, iirc putin still takes vacation there
asciilifeform pictures mp_en_viaje lodged in that 1 house in viskuli, 1000km of forest around, where they signed the sovok surrender
asciilifeform: as i understand, per the teachings of mircea_popescu , if walked 9000 dead ends -- ought to chronicle 9000 dead ends. but when, then, to chronicle the usable ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: actually i have opposite problem, typically end up walking dozen dead end paths before find usable one.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: a, i thought you were re: the 1 actual theorem ( asciilifeform has just that 1, and imho pretty trivial result )
asciilifeform mired, it so happens just nao, in pile of saecular crapola, 'lucky' strike similar to mircea_popescu's modem troubles the other day.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu plox to elaborate re 'unreviewable theorems'
asciilifeform ate log. will take mircea_popescu's prescription.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'm tuned in, but would rather answer concretes, and in pulsed bursts, to keep up snr. for nao will go to other terminal.
asciilifeform: arguably Mocky , in mircea_popescu's school of thought, achieved much moar. but still apparently in glue trap.
asciilifeform: to both of'em can apply ~same certificate of tardation as to asciilifeform
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: 'thinking men in the wild' proposition resembling 'seti'(tm) moar with each passing day.
asciilifeform: presumably if someone wanted, would've spoken up when concept was 1st sketched out in log.
asciilifeform: thus far afaik the only target application for the system in question is piz.
asciilifeform: if mircea_popescu & co. indicate that they'd care to read this, then sure. otherwise waste.
asciilifeform: i had -- a laffably small bag o'coin, nao 2/3 spent.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: if i knew how to do it, would have done it in 2013 . earlier. it aint as if i have a bottle of 'get outta salt mine' behind glass, 'break glass', that was saving for some (what?) occasion.
asciilifeform: ( as i understand, e.g. mod6 , phf , are in even darker corners. )
asciilifeform: 3y tour of duty an' counting. improvement over the prev, in that no commute and actually leaves some energy for actual work. but evidently not enuff.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: for extra lulz, asciilifeform's salt mine detail consists of very similar thing to what diana_coman does ( unravel ancient cpp hairball, replacing w/ sanity, under the drums of Proper Management an' w/ regular parcels & report etc )
asciilifeform: looking improbable that will put out ch20 today as proclaimed (charlatan!!11) but still not impossible.
asciilifeform: well i'm back from tea an' walk (to get, lol, moar tea.)
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'm all for constructive actions. but if the script calls 'beg for mercy' then it's through, asciilifeform is not into s&m and is grown man rather than pet chix, will not beg anyone for anyffin.☟︎
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: fwiw i have coin enuff to run for another ~year (if no major swings in exchange rt) and then through. mg nest outta belt.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-30#1921075 << we have slim but realistic shot of emplacing 32 heathens and reaching breakeven (counting BingoBoingo's food & pad) , per the outlined mips + irons plan. if mp goes home, however, and cancels his irons, even slimmer.☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: i expect will make himself known eventually.
asciilifeform: shitboard not to blame, i think walked in when door was briefly open.
asciilifeform: holyshit i have an undocumented cat in the house.
asciilifeform: i gotta go and do a meat chore for 2h or so. if mircea_popescu et al have specific q for asciilifeform , will answer when come back. if mircea_popescu says 'instead do x', i'ma see if i have with what. else would prefer to skip the 2017 ' mircea_popescu plays with his food ' and take the -10 sooner rather than later-and-wasted-errybodys-time .☟︎
asciilifeform: and isp where mircea_popescu is ~only customer.☟︎
asciilifeform: tried to be the 1st. and ended up with fg ( did it ever make back what mircea_popescu put in for us to bake it ? ) and a demonstrably-correct numerics stack that dun leak ( which apparently nobody wants to even read, much less use )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: who, incidentally, ought asciilifeform to have been learning from ? which is the hero that, with full time salt mine, also 'has the items' and keeps the schedule etc
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu still convinced that ' asciilifeform doesn't think it out properly ' rather than ' trying to take off 'cessna' weighing 2 tonne , loaded with 20 ' ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: nobody's tryin' to expropriate mircea_popescu . ( not here anyway )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i dun have any complaint to mircea_popescu re bent nickels.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: dun think anyone expects this. if mircea_popescu wanted 7 moar diana_coman's, for something, could have already hired'em
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i intend to first learn whether mircea_popescu even wants to run a worm farm.
asciilifeform: if not proceed, then i haven't what to give. and mircea_popescu aint wrong, atm he is in person 90% of the customers.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: re piz -- the mips item , i think i described, is so that ea. of the 32core boxen can be cut into 32 'you have root' properly isolated virtuals, which then can be leased to heathens w/out particular selectivity. but this requires not only for it to be finished properly ( it is on conveyor behind peh, which i explicitly promised to mp et al ) but for machine delivery to proceed.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: no worries, lol, i cleared calendar, have time.
asciilifeform: if -- worm, then let someone else do what asciilifeform apparently - fails - to do, that must be done, and asciilifeform will go to where worms go.☟︎
asciilifeform: soon enuff will discover that erryone (with exception of diana_coman) is -- worm
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: suppose , for a moment, that asciilifeform issued weekly broadcasts. wouldja want to read the typical one ? because it is likely as not to consist of 'this week i spent 50hrs battling microshit, and 7 tryin' to load peh back into my greying head'☟︎
asciilifeform: ww2. lieutenant observes that one of the mg nests under his command has fallen silent. he goes and asks, 'sgt. petrov, why is your mg silent ?'
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i can see his irritation , also, 2 other worms this yr have all but stopped giving silk -- mod6 , phf -- 'for no apparent reason'☟︎
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i dun have with what to disagree with mp. he wants professional, well-scheduled performance, like e.g. asciilifeform's day job. and he gets it, from diana_coman , whom he employs fulltime. as for asciilifeform & the other 'hangers on', all they've to bring to the table is, i guess, worm shit ?
asciilifeform: then -- worm ? ( what does mp_en_viaje gain from working with worm ? )
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: for my part 'would much rather people ask why there aint a statue to him, than why there is'
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: yer terminal is firing double shots
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: atm mod6 is majority holder.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: he did ?! cuz actually mod6 is atm the majority holder, asciilifeform owes a coin ( to piz, and another 1/3 of coin to mp_en_viaje , will prolly end up having to break open cold store for it )
asciilifeform: working from the literal text. where board, consisting of mod6 & asciilifeform , hired BingoBoingo as chairman, with mutual agreement of all parties ( and iirc encouragement of mp_en_viaje & co )
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo accepted the chairmanship, entirely in accordance with charter, when old chair abdicated.
asciilifeform: waitasec, he's the chair, why asciilifeform is to manage him ?
asciilifeform: left off making promises which i dun have the resources to make good on, is all of it
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: then what was topic ? the lack of a per-ch release calendar ? attempted already, all it did is to add to asciilifeform's reputation as charlatan. and for that matter i dun recall any successes among the other folx with day jobs re multiweek calendars for pro-bono worx.
asciilifeform: entirely willing to work with people, review plans, etc. but if mp_en_viaje declares ' i have snails here in terrarium faster than asciilifeform ' then i have no counter-argument, what sorta counter could there be.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i'ma go to tea, and perhaps during this either someone deigns to cut the binomial into pieces that fit in asciilifeform's head, or will fit by itself, or not.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: '...and in time close this one down. Fundamentally, the problem with intelligent people is that their flaws are unfixable -- were they fixable they'd have fixed them by now, and since they didn't fix them before they're not gonna start at any later point, and certainly not because they like you or something.' ?
asciilifeform: e.g. ffa , if counted from when asciilifeform first started the notebook and blew dust off knuth, is 3 y.o. nao.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu aint wrong, most types of tree actually grow faster than asciilifeform's creations. not to mention on steadier schedule.☟︎
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i rec to wait an' see what mircea_popescu et al say -- maybe asciilifeform is a tard and has no biz handling irons, maybe oughta shine shoes
asciilifeform: diana_coman: plox to do asciilifeform the favour and spell it out as if he were the quasi-retarded 5yo that apparently all of the participants in $thread suspect that he is☟︎
asciilifeform: or a ch20 where the mistakes not fixed ? ( instead of proofreading, asciilifeform is having this-here thread... )
asciilifeform: loox like something else ? does diana_coman want e.g. the mips draft, what w/ some unknown % of bugginess ? for what ?
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i presume 'communicate' dun look like e.g. this ?☝︎
asciilifeform: i dun know how to photosynthesize, diana_coman .
asciilifeform: diana_coman: also dun hesitate to elaborate. 'get through' re what? 'quit that day job, live on sunlight?'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if i've failed to apprehend the actual item, dun hesitate to elaborate, asciilifeform is grown-up and can be relied on not to cry
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i dun have a wunderwaffe up my sleeve that'd allow me to work 4x faster, or wunderwaffe of such kind that 'do not sack, i have this-here wunderwaffe!'
asciilifeform: diana_coman: maybe he oughta be sacked ! who am i to say
asciilifeform: asciilifeform's original conveyor consisted of 'wrap peh to usability in battlefield by end of summer' and 'deliver irons to piz' (ditto, interval) . both on track atm. the former on track even if asciilifeform sacked, the latter will have to be reworked, if ditto.
