mircea_popescu: on one hand, the "dominion" approach to thinking isn't particularly useful here, because all it does is provide the limiting (the disadvantageous) part of setting boundries, without delivering any kind of protective (ie, advantageous) offset. Specifically how boundries work is, suppose you have two kids, Amy aged 7 and Adam aged 6. If you set a boundry such as "Adam, never hit Amy!" you are in fact limiting Adam's natu
mircea_popescu: ral agressivity, which will make him less of an Adam, but in exchange you're protecting Amy's identity, which will make her more of an Amy. The argument as to whether this is a good idea or a bad idea hinges on how you value the part of Adam that's lost and the part of Amy that's saved - because yes, wherever spheres touch something's gonna get flattened, that's unavoidable - but in any case an argument can always be b
mircea_popescu: rought and disposed of (either accepting it or rejecting it) because both sides are present. Conversely, if you set a boundry for Amy in the terms of "don't try and think honey, that's for men, just sit there and be pretty" she might listen, especially at 7, but you've set a boundry for her that has no upside. "Men" doesn't even exist per se. So this isn't an argument that can be considered, it only has one side to it.
mircea_popescu: To apply this to b-a affairs : it's not particularly useful to go "I'm not going to X because that's Y's dominion". For one thing, it's not terribly clear if this is even true (people are notoriously poor at communicating things this subtle, and consequently your love for Amy's not Amy's idea of your love for her, not ever, until the day you die). It is perfectly valid to go "i won't be telling X how to Y because Ying
mircea_popescu: is X's thing", or in the more general "I'm not about to go into should mode - that's how you get hanged", but that's not so related.
mircea_popescu: It's also perfectly valid to go "I'm not about to Y, seems X's going to do it and they're probably better than me / I don't want to duplicate the effort". Note however that this is an extremely tenuous argument : if it's true he's better than you then you probably should duplicate the effort - that's exactly the only avenue to learning, duplicating the effort of your betters. If it's the case you're better than him, od
mircea_popescu: ds are you'll end up having to do it later anyway, and once you know this it's always better to do it at a time of choice than at a time of need. Obviously this leaves wide open the "well I just don't care so much about Ying", which is fine, with the caveat that as the reunion of Ys starts approaching the universe, you're getting closer and closer to the nagant ending.
mircea_popescu: on the OTHER hand however, you have to understand biology works on drivers, and b-a is very much a natural system, so biology applies. the whole shebang is driven by need, if you go "I NEED X and Y and Z to be able to do K!" you may or may not get X, Y or Z, or maybe a response as to the usefullness of K, but in any case the b-a itself gains. If you recall a primary driver for historical activity was alf going "I want
mircea_popescu: X so I can Y", for x=printable bitcoin and y=read in bed. He's not gotten it, at least not yet, but you can't say anyone's been the worse for the experience.
mircea_popescu: Thinking in those terms, "Hey, TRB actually running on BSD as opposded to PRB sounds to me like it'd be huge, it must be made a point of public communication, I need datas to support me in discussing this with people, plox to help me here!" is a helluva lot more productive than "this is X's dominion".

mircea_popescu: and this doesn't bother you on his www ? or, for that matter, my www ?!
mircea_popescu always thought that nonsense was between patently insane and alienly endearing.
mircea_popescu: seriously, you're a proud scion of a mightly lebanese line of kings and aviators ?
mircea_popescu: i suppose what saves it for my benefit is that romanian-ness has a humongous tradition in playing this for laughs
mircea_popescu: so it registers in my head as a merely not very good attempt at that.
mircea_popescu: that's what i;m saying. somewhere between patently insane and alienly endearing. "he can'rt be fucking serious".
mircea_popescu: his theories took him no far, seeing how he created theories after going places./
mircea_popescu: these points are always extremely hard to establish. even in the golden age of cultivated, the argument never was causation, but mere correlation. "lucy, sit like a lady" "why!" "because sitting like a lady correlates with not marrying a bum"
mircea_popescu: that's why the entire progressive bs even caught on in the first place. no causation.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i imagine trying to read taleb to judge paths to success/create a path to success would be ungodly unnerving. i mostly like him because he provides an unalligned datapoint, by some definitions of unallignation.
mircea_popescu: i like the wesleyan fellow for the same reason, weirdass right wing fundamentalism notwithstanding
mircea_popescu: huge books, utterly meaningless drivel, but nevertheless...
mircea_popescu: to try and formalize this, imagine the question in terms of wallpaper. now you, being a sane individual, would never have wallpaper in the house. but, admitting for the sake of argument that you own a slavegirl together enough to be allowed to run her own household, and admitting she inexplicably wants some wallpaper, the difference between "whatever" and "you can't have that" mostly rests on whether the 900 dpi thing

jurov: asciilifeform: isn't it same thing as "disruptive innovation" before derps ran off with the term?
mircea_popescu: not really. disruptive simply means that the industrial pathways have to be reconstructed. not different from war in this sense.
mircea_popescu: tbh the best example of closing technology to date would be organised atheism.
jurov: how so? it removed some of clergy, but replaced it with humanities "scientists"
mircea_popescu: well no, removed the entire religion thing, from the "must build cathedral" to "tithe" - speaking of which, you ever seen l'avare with de funes ? epic tithing scene in there - and on and on. review the literature of the 1800s, about half the drivel printed was various clerics opiniong self importantly on matters they thoroughly ignored.

mircea_popescu: a middle aged woman in queens going "when you die you die. that's it. you don't go anywhere." as overheard in "the conversion" seinfeld episode.
jurov: as i hardly know any such person, i suspect hard atheism is actually very rare thing.
mircea_popescu: what is "organised terrorism" ? a large enough group of people who think there's absolutely nothing wrong with setting things on fire if they were government things.
mircea_popescu: well... the thing about rat poison is that the rats don't need to know about it for it to work.
mircea_popescu: it may be rare or common in your environment, but the church sure as hell doesn't dare try and impose a tax, but instead fell back on the b-a taxation model.
jurov: heh, you wish. they learned bo bezzle instead.
mircea_popescu: (organised here is used as a psych term of art - same way "organised delusion" works)
jurov: so, if we break organized delusion and now there's 1000s of individual ones, we have released human resources and unleashed immense potential, etc.?
jurov: i just don't make sense to apply the concept on church. did anyone perish due to church being displaced? no? then wtf we are having such virtual concepts?
mircea_popescu: it's just that at some point some % of gdp went into researching pewter alloys and making dumbass candlesticks and now it doesn't.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: this may not be the case in marginal, primitive lands, but then again technology diffuses on a gradient.
jurov: i suspect it isn't the case. let's say in middle ages 95% was the agriculture and 5% the religion ... and now the 5% remains under whatever guises (new age, dianetics, angelology, you name it) just the 95% moved on
mircea_popescu: hence back when president bahamas of 1400 ran into "a crisis", what they did was a crusade
jurov: certainly not the GDP
jurov: but they *did not* have million-armies. just gathered few thousands of derps, maybe 1% of pop... that could not have made a dent in gdp

mircea_popescu: i fixed that and went to eat. she returned with an hour within minutes, and i've been spending my time debugging your inept shit.
mircea_popescu: the moment we go off mod6 instructions and into alf instructions we suddenly need a rear admiral and five airline pilots.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: so lettuce see if this thing can be made to work sanely once and for all.
mircea_popescu: i have exactly nothing anywhere. the disk is fucking empty. this is deliberate.
trinque: he does. I have run it and am syncing a bitcoind from its product.

trinque: did output a usable product thereafter, and it's running on a debian, was built on a gentoo where it also ran.
trinque: definitely needs to be released on the site..
trinque: hell I'll put it on deedbot.org
trinque: so it is not lost to the sands of dpaste
pete_dushenski also recalls this particular dpaste, even having tried it on fresh os!, and failing for reasons i shamefully didn't have time to delve into further
mircea_popescu: mod6 as a purely aesthetic point, i hate that your v puts its files/dirs straight under ~. it would be much better if it made them under current dir.
mircea_popescu: as it is i put .wot in /trb/.wot but the .seals are still up one level ;/
mircea_popescu: how the fuck is 0xAB07D806D2CE741FB886EE50B025BA8B59C36319 even worth loading into a system in 2015.
trinque: the first output is it verifying signatures of various curl downloads, as I see it running it again.
mircea_popescu: pointedly absent, an autogen.sh or any sort of obvious make target.
trinque: yes, and after building the binary will be buried at rotor/TEST2/bitcoin/src/bitcoind
trinque: I would say that the file tree here needs some work.
trinque: it is running the rotor/TEST2/rotor.sh ...
trinque: yes but this is seriously layered and needs to be smashed into one script.
trinque: mircea_popescu: the build script ought to be making all this
mircea_popescu: it finished without error, created the dir quoted above and thats it
mircea_popescu: /home/polimedi/.wot directory does not exist. Refer to help.
mircea_popescu: ima wipe this entire thing and start over. god damned tis frustrating.
trinque: also would be good to have curl output some progress info when downloading. it otherwise appears hung when pulling down boost, or did to me.
