deedbot: douchebag voiced for 30 minutes.
douchebag: Okay, so this should be quite trivial
douchebag: This is a logged channel, unless invoices and withdrawls were made in PM. The balances could be determined by viewing the logs.
mircea_popescu: ...
douchebag: It's true though.
mircea_popescu: obviously if someone wants to make something public, then that someone made that something public.
mircea_popescu: you've got quite the hard-on for the trivial case, don't you ?
douchebag: Okay, down me then.
mircea_popescu: not even a terrible idea, but...
douchebag: I'll continue pressing this bots buttons
mircea_popescu: just don't make a lot of noise in channel.
douchebag: okay <3

lobbes: oh nice shinohai. you got the markets thing working in lisp?
shinohai: The --market all thing still needs work, but ticker works. You should probably take over the gribble functions though.
lobbes: word. which ones are needed?
shinohai: I can tar the plugins up for you if you need 'em. ☟︎
shinohai: Might be a few days though, plate been kinda full of late.
lobbes: that works. Honestly could be a bit before I get to them anyways
lobbes: I could always just slap up a separate gribble instance with this new pizarro shell tho. May be the cleanest that way actually.
mircea_popescu: become the first man with two bots ?
lobbes: no way I could be the first?

trinque: It means I ask you "give me the balance of $x" and you respond correctly, to my satisfaction that you could do it for any account.
trinque: It does not mean you trawl through the logs hoping that someone made all his wallet operations public.
trinque: What, you took a day to go from "I'll root yer shit!" to "I-I can perl some logs..."

mircea_popescu: http://logs.bvulpes.com/trilema?d=2018-3-22#317465 << i'd add a third, which is "the insistence on the trivial case". there's a fundamental tension at work here, because we call it "exam taking", but bear it in mind that the presence of exam takers is not a flaw in the population, but a failure of the system!
mircea_popescu: uncle al's expression is "insistently rewarding poor performance breeds ennui" or somesuch, but the fundamental problem is that the ~correct~ reaction of the working mind confronted with the broken system is to... exploit the breakage.
mircea_popescu: this has the unfortunate correlate of implicitly training the best in the population to be trivial idiots (and thus manipulable), much like life in mine tunnels trains eyes out of mammals, or the life of sicilian mineworking boys bred symmetry out of their gait.
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-03-22 17:34 asciilifeform: the ~other~ engineering heuristic that's absolutely imho grand, and that i stole from mircea_popescu , is 'there is not a mechanical substitute for coming to an understanding with the people you live and work with'
mircea_popescu: this then is the gambit of socialism : that it'll manage to maintain the breakage long enough so that every 20yo with a working mind ends up a "web security expert". it's certainly a better approach in "threat control" than ritalin, seeing how it's "invisible" (to the afflicted eye it's quite hard to see. unlike the pill.)
mircea_popescu: but in any case : the difference between realism and idealism ~STRICTLY~ relies on the handling of the trivial case. all systems with "excepted" (a la http://trilema.com/2018/le-salaire-de-lidiotie/#selection-165.311-165.357 ) are ~IDEAL~ systems, and suffer not merely from heine's idiocy (of hoping for "one day" modernist lightnings to fall on the picklehaube), but from the very direct problem of http://trilema.com/2014/the-

mircea_popescu: meh. http://trilema.com/2014/the-problem-of-ideal-social-systems-reprint/
diana_coman: that "correct" reaction sounds correct only for all sorts of definitions of "working mind"; dunno, working but un-reflecting; working but not worked; working blindly or something of this sort; to me it reads: "when in a broken environment, the correct reaction is to break yourself too as much as possible"; perhaps it is, along the lines of: one can hardly do anything else in that situation anyway so might as well extract the short-term app
diana_coman: arent benefit or whatevers
mircea_popescu: diana_coman you know, like the correctly working cunt gets wet whether it's rape or dad or whatever context. which is why "consensual nonconsent" or "DD/lg" are not things for 12 year olds.
mircea_popescu: in any case you can't blame the vegetative system for cognitive failure ; and in the same spirit, i get it that ~everyone smells the pantsuit on douchebag and is driven mad to the point of barking with it. however, it seems to me the kid's merely maleducated, but fundamentally his brain works underneath. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: yes obviously once the choice is presented it's the job of the mind to choose correctly. but the entire job of management consists of being provided two or more alternatives at all points and picking one. there's no such magical chosing absent alternative.
mircea_popescu: for which reason, going with the only available alternative is not unethical -- it's outside of ethics altogether (which, for the record, is not "morality" or blabla. ethics is the science of making correct choices, nothing else). obviously in practice this is conflated with wilful blindness, where the agent ~pretends~ to not have had the alternative ; and better whip for stirring idiocy to action than the false call to "ther
mircea_popescu: e's no alternative" has never been devised. nor needs to be devised, really.
mircea_popescu: but so far on the instant case, as to 1. "the internet is right there, it's your responsibility to find your way out of the pantsuit paper bag" -- well he's found the republic ; and as to 2. "make something of yourself, son"... too soon to tell yet, isn't it.
