lobbesbot: mod6: Sent 5 hours and 24 minutes ago: <asciilifeform> i get eggog '#trilema-mod6 (Channel is invite only)'
mod6: and the only cure is MOAR COWBELL
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, sadly in some fields there's only enumerable stable states, once not-in-1, then-in-other becomes unavoidable.
mircea_popescu: anyway, seems to me the piece is pure wank, "here's things i say about women i supposedly fucked in the hope anyone reading thinks i ever get laid".
mircea_popescu: dude suffered for a while from this "i don't wanna X!!!" syndrome, as if anyone was in any danger of asking anything like it. "i don't wanna go to the prom!!!" "fatty... who's asking you to ?!"
mircea_popescu: anyways, whatever. who cares about yet another "52 M Dom" fetlife profile ? he never was more than that.
mircea_popescu: "sadly, in some fields there's only enumerable stable states, once not-in-1, then-in-other becomes unavoidable." there's no such thing as clever honest man-alone.
a111: Logged on 2013-04-16 16:41 mircea_popescu: i wonder if he learns by it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, how are they to ~stay~ in the state ? see, that's the thing, "free floating hydrogen" as a theoretical possibility. sure, why not. "free floating hydrogen as a STABLE STATE"... well... no such theoretical possibility. it can't be a stable state for very clear reasons.
mircea_popescu: in vitro, purified virus is essentially a large molecule, as inert as salt. in vivo... what do you mean purified, and what do you mean inert.
mircea_popescu: either it's in the process of killing the host or else in the process of getting pissed out ; there's no third.
mircea_popescu: then again, unlike the various jew outlets, mircea_popescu actually dominates the portions of the empire where the empire tries or is forced to interact with reality
mircea_popescu: eg, mocky found this place because ~searched~, on hitler's own "artificially intelligent" zek-bubbler.
mircea_popescu: because the portions where the bubbler is ran by algorithm, mircea_popescu owns.
mircea_popescu: and there's a necessary portion that has to always run that way (also per goedel).
a111: Logged on 2018-05-23 17:26 mircea_popescu: if and only if everyone's in chains, then and then only can you be entirely sure nobody's linked two z80 chips together and cycling "alf is a pooperhead" back and forth between them.
mircea_popescu: (re hydrogen, for the young'uns : the only stable state in material system of universe is black hole. which is why black hole is even important theoretically -- universe having stable state means it won't last)
mircea_popescu: speaking of which : most large black holes have average densities lower than water. anyone care to explain why, as a 5th grade geometry olympiad problem ?
Mocky: my guess is due to large volume of event horizon
mircea_popescu: "volume is third power proportion of radius ; [schwarzschild] radius is first power proportion of mass ; therefore mass divided by volume is 2nd power inverse proportion of mass"
Mocky: is that like jeapardy format, "what is 4/3 pi r^3?"
Mocky: but wait a minute, your answer doesnt explain why large black holes have average densities lower than water
mircea_popescu: why not ? if density is f(1/m^2) you can pick a m large enough for any arbitrary low density you wish.
Mocky: what is bubbler in zek-bubbler?
mircea_popescu: (in some models there's an upper bound on black hole size about 10^40 or so, but w/e, let's not get THAT technical)
a111: Logged on 2017-11-08 14:30 mircea_popescu: build vacupack units, keep them fed with biomaterial (plastic, schmucks), dump the results at sea. a 100tdw ship should be able to carry 1mn of the shitheads at a time.
Mocky: I've noticed lately that google has some results that it damn well doesn't want to give me... all the results say "missing search term" for what ever I searched for, even when I put a + infront. but it *has* my results and if i repeat the search term 3 or for times in the query eventually relents and shows me
danielpbarron: don't black holes emit radiation? and does that make them not stable?
Mocky: like the search term was just a mild suggestion, will show if feels like it, or better yet ad from sponsor
mircea_popescu: Mocky, you realise, everyone's model revolves around wrapping zeks. it's just that the democrats are (mostly, unexamiedly) partialists while we're absolutists.

(an intermediate step to this being
http://trile danielpbarron: not only. there are supposed to be particle + anti-particle pairs showing up all over space, in most cases instantly colliding to produce energy for the next pair to form, except when spawned on the event horizon and only one falls in
Mocky: i'm not seeing the partial seems like trying full integration
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron, that is powered by the black star's angular mommentum. only noob black stars have any angular mommentum
mircea_popescu: (in fact, the predicate for "Get a lot of mass in a little bit of volume" is entirely "push out a whole lot of angular mommentum")
Mocky: ahhhhh, that kind of absolutism
a111: Logged on 2018-02-14 14:22 mircea_popescu: MEANWHILE, however, they have 100% unaccounted for the time externality. so basically it's a contest consisting of a guy without legs going about finding fault with people's fingers. because he's decided "legs don't count", and so as he has much better hands than the rest of those losers he should be captain of the football team.
Mocky: fails to account because blinded by fantasy beliefs
mircea_popescu: nah, not at all. fails to account definitionally, that's what it is. the fantasies are empty niche exploitation, coming much later.
mircea_popescu: (sleep is a similar item -- it originally appeared as a learned behaviour to conserve energy and lower capture risk ; as it provided a niche CNS growth parasitized it, and so now oyu need to sleep though your fridge is full and there's no preditors threatening you)
mircea_popescu: just so -- since socialism (or democracy, whatever, no difference between these terms) offers the "we'll ignore half the shit anyway" niche, the fantasy beliefs found a welcoming place to stay.
Mocky: maybe blinded by pretense is a better way to say it then
mircea_popescu: understand what's at stake here : your theory proposes socialism is curable. no such luck irl, or in seinfeld's words, "when he's dead, he'll be relieved."
Mocky: i see that my theory does propose that, yet I've never seen a socialist cured

a111: Logged on 2018-05-24 18:22 mircea_popescu: this is the sort of objection that can only be resolved by historians.
mircea_popescu: Mocky, the problem with scotsman fallacy is that there's an unresolved duality. i don't propose that one's a) a scotsman for being born of scottish woman and AT THE SAME TIME b) a scotsman because not an irredeemable asshole. i'm just going with b, and that's logically sound.
mircea_popescu: and there's a healthy helping of
http://trilema.com/2015/causes-and-purposes/ in all of this : if your labels are ex-post-facto, you can't futurize on their basis lest you end up like the "global warming" muppets, "projecting" on "data" abvout the past that was extrapolated from the present.
Mocky: that makes it sound like my theory could be proposing that while socialism isn't curable, maybe it can find the ones who "never really were"
mircea_popescu: if you can distinguish between those who are pretending because they're blind already anyway and it costs them nothing to pretend and those who are pretending just to fit in, then yes.
mircea_popescu: but removing the perceived positive value of fit (such as, by publicly burning "consensus" as in the imperial facade, as the republic has done) seems a large step in the right direction.
mircea_popescu: prior to empire-of-idiots colonization in the shape of "sane safe and consensual" nonsense, bdsm world rested squarely on "there's no positive value to social fit". of course it was a lot smaller then.
mircea_popescu: much like the faggots were a lot more numerous before the democratic party invaded them with a bunch of fake faggots.
mircea_popescu: you know, pre 1980, back when gay culture was actually creative.
Mocky: what's fake faggots?
Mocky: like mentally created 'persons'
mircea_popescu: right. can you explain the difference between sadism, as the clinically relevant psych term of art, and "sadism", ie, fake sadism, as the common discourse locus ?
Mocky: no, i'm not familiar with clinical sadism
mircea_popescu: alright. the recently mentioned andrei chikatilo is a textbook model. the man could not achieve an erection with either willing or unwilling partners ; he used stabbing as an erection substitute.
mircea_popescu: this is fetishism, in all cases : a ~substitute~, covering for an absence. a sadist isn't one who slaps the woman around if she talks out of turn ; nor one who enjoys pain and suffering. a sadist is one who can't function normally, and uses a highly structured substitute behaviour. these two factors, in order.
mircea_popescu: the father who can't talk to his son, but enjoys "expressing himself" through their fishing together is just as mentally broken as a proper sadist, just in a different spot of what'd be a normallty working brain.
mircea_popescu: now back to fake homosexuality : human sexuality is a learned behaviour. proper homosexuality is an inability to learn, akin to dyslexia or lefthandedness. fake homosexuality is the exact contrary, a lot of "what if"ism and "provemewrong"ism and so on. a social, rather than biological phenomenon.
☟︎ Mocky: like that naacp 'leader' who identified as black
mircea_popescu: there's no curiosity about "what it'd be like" to stab people in the sadist ; he arrives at it, through a very personal dysfunctional process. and there's no curiosity about "what it'd be like" to "be black" or "be gay" or etcetera. when's the last time you met an african who was wondering what'd it be like to be born in africa. hurr.
mircea_popescu: (dysfunctional here isn't even a value judgement ; sexuality is a function of anatomy, a portion of phisiology, like breathing. if you're asphyxiating it doesn't follow you're a bad person thereby.)
mircea_popescu: "african-americans" however are universally "curious about what'd it be like", and for the obvious reason : they're about as african as i am.
trinque: these, the identified-as-black, hip-gay, feminist-ally and the rest, always struck me as having missed a developmental stage
mircea_popescu: anyway, prolly worth the mention, since spoke of chikatilo : he originally did two things : stabbed the victims, and enucleated them.
trinque: the one where they get their ass whipped by an adult male for lying
mircea_popescu: once caught, it came out that he was gouging the eyes out ~because "he had heard that the image of killer remains on body's retina"~ ; he stopped, becauise he figured out it's an old wives' tale
mircea_popescu: he somehow ~didn't~ similarily figure about stabbing young girls.
mircea_popescu: trinque, it's my read also. retarded, in the proper sense, like 9yo that can't tie own shoes.
mircea_popescu: violence is extremely effectual at curing high level delusions -- every "princess" reverts to sanity after a stint in the dungeon. it's not particularly effectual at curing lower level issues, beating kids for suttering doesn't work.
mircea_popescu: bedwetting, perhaps the most eminent example towards your line, also doesn't work. though conceivably hanging bedwetters would work, but in the social sense -- be rid of them.
mircea_popescu: though from experience, talking to the kid works actually a whole of a lot better. just, you need to be capable of actual talk. so hanging ~the parents~ may also be effectual.
mircea_popescu: (and no, i don't mean "talk to kids ~anbout bedwetting~, what a stupid fucking subject. i mean take them out for a sundae and do something interesting or other, whatever the spur of the moment provides.)
trinque: hmmm, I can see it. in the personal anecdote, I wasn't overflowing with loyalty for anyone either.
mircea_popescu: have nothing it'd die for, really ? why even bother growing up.
mircea_popescu: (this is the mechanism that resolves infantile cowardice, ftr : sooner or later the kid goes, "fuck it, none shall pass".)
Mocky: this next generation is going to be epic, with the way schools are now, and raised by ipads and netflix
mircea_popescu: previous discussion re leverage with alf aside ; it's a wonder if they can make one man out of 1k of the neets tied together. i have my doubts. so it's not just "need leverage" on this side -- the empire graciously provides anti-leverage out of its own meat.
mircea_popescu: 1000 dollars today, ie one 1985 dollar ; and 1:1mn leverage today, meaning you can do the work of 1k 1985 people.
Mocky: why does wrapping zeks matter?
a111: Logged on 2018-05-24 19:50 mircea_popescu: much like byzantines imagined mongols come over to steal the "true cross" because it's so fucking valuable in their eyes. because how couldn't it be. and so on.

trinque: I'd have loved to have gone to an actual university.
mircea_popescu: what's the problem, you folk don't have the information superhighway where you live, can't communicate with each other, the trucks of internets don't make it, what is it.
mircea_popescu: trinque, there's something exquisitely wrong with "we all agree what we did was stupid". well... why'd you do it then ?!!?!?!?!?!?

I still need to implement a. self-voicing and b. an access control mechanism.
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2018-05-24 15:38 trinque: I'd be happy to add it, but spyked, how's your rss bot coming along?
spyked: re a. it's occured to me a few days ago that the bot must maintain +v/-v state so that it doesn't needlessly attempt to talk in-chan before self-voicing. I intend this part to be separate from the rss bot itself and reusable.
spyked: re b. I have a rfc in the works, should be ready for publishing at the beginning of next week. this is also why I haven't disclosed the bot's name and the channel where it operates at the moment, I want to limit access to relevant bot commands to L1 and L2 only.
☟︎ spyked: now, the reason why this has been taking me so long is that I hoped I would publish the pieces as I went along. but this is harder than it looked, had to write what is now unreadable (other than by myself) prototype, then (point c. on my list) I'll have to rewrite/refactor and then publish. all this despite the fact that this is "known item", not FFA.
ave1: spyked, I've seen this happening many times (the code is done, but ugly, so I cannot publish yet). I geuss there is a general process behind this. At time (a) you need some code, at time (b) you have it but the code is "ugly". At time (c) the code still works and you have little incentive to clean it up. I know only two ways to get less "ugly" code, in the time between (a) and (b) write non "ugly" code. Or at time (c) publish the code and get shamed into s

ave1: Also, yes, once you write it you may see how it should have been written. But I wonder if this is the first step in an infinite cycle.
ave1: Not that the cycle is not useful and the result at each round better
ave1: BTW how would you do this "I want to limit access to relevant bot commands to L1 and L2 only" ? Check if the nick has voice or download the WOT or can deedbot be queried?
spyked: as far as I can see, this first writing pass exposes incorrect assumptions about e.g. data structures and how they're used. if this keeps happening, then it might be that the problem is larger than the mind can chew on in one take.
☟︎ spyked: ave1, yeah, querying deedbot is kinda what I had in mind (not sure if it can be avoided). something like
spyked: !!gettrust deedbot spyked
deedbot: L1: 1, L2: 3 by 3 connections.

spyked: the rationale is that there are a few O(n) operations involved (e.g. walking through the list of rss feeds) and I don't want every rando landing on Freenode to be able to abuse this (in particular for advertising sent via pm). let 'em get their own rss bot if they wanna.
Mocky: i mean seems like deedbot + voice is already keeping randos from speaking here
spyked: Mocky: methinks users should be able to talk to the bot via PM, e.g. to subscribe to feeds. the bot will permit "private" subscriptions too, iirc mircea_popescu uses this.

mircea_popescu: no. write good code from the get go. there's no room here for "oh, this is the code i wrote, but it's not really who i am". it fucking is who you are, irrespective of what the monkey may be saying in your ear. THAT is what you are.
mircea_popescu: trying to maintain this supposed difference between what you do and who you are is exactly how the office drones manage to use a whole life doing exactly nothing whatsoever. all their juice went to the gap.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-25 12:31 spyked: but I knew how the rss bot design should look (I wrote up a draft before starting the implementation), the problem was rather fitting it up with all the "imported" elements.
mircea_popescu: (neither of these options is good. if the former, why the fuck doing the polarbeard stupid, what, not read the logs ? if the latter, umm...)
a111: Logged on 2018-05-25 12:53 spyked: as far as I can see, this first writing pass exposes incorrect assumptions about e.g. data structures and how they're used. if this keeps happening, then it might be that the problem is larger than the mind can chew on in one take.
trinque: an RSS shitting IRC bot is not bigger than the mind can take wtf
spyked: mircea_popescu, i haven't thought about that yet. but needless to say, the bot depends on many pieces that are not v-ified (and for that matter also does ircbot).
spyked: trinque, that wasn't implied in the discussion.
spyked: mircea_popescu, I'm not sure what you mean. lemme explain: the rss bot depends on ircbot and other pieces (some imported from heathenlands, some written by scratch from yours truly). from my reading so far, (e.g. diana_coman's use of MPI in Eucrypt) I dun see this as a strictly solved problem. I could a. make a new genesis consisting of ircbot + rss bot + all dependencies, or b. genesis rss bot alone (and mention ircbot + all others as
spyked: dependencies explicitly; this is already the case in the bot's .asd file), or c. add rss bot as set of patches onto ircbot.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: when i say "wank" i'm not just using a word for the purpose of filling a conversational hole. that's what wank fucking is, "any activity proceeding without having considered that question".
mircea_popescu: if you ask "well, am i extending something or writing de novo", you're participating. if you're doing anything else, you're wanking about ; an activity entirely undistinguishable from chatting up the starbucks waitress or braying under the full moon.
mircea_popescu: spyked, so is it then the case you're writing an rss module for icrbot ?
spyked: mircea_popescu, in the same sense that logbot is a logging module for ircbot, yes. that would mean b (in the a, b, c above)
mircea_popescu: cool. and trying to do this you discovered ircbot can't actually handle voicing itself ?
mircea_popescu: why's that question take 100s of seconds to process anyway. it can't be ~that~ intricate, just copy a register and return.
spyked: mircea_popescu, it can be used to implement self-voicing, but no, it doesn't implement that functionality itself.
mircea_popescu: well, did you protest that anywhere ? preferably as "hey $x, im trying to use ircbot to make rssbot, but you've not got voice going ?!"
☟︎ spyked: no, why protest. I thought it was obvious that I was gonna implement it?
trinque: eh? why would it voice itself
trinque: he should extend the thing with a subclass that implements deedbot auth, yeah, but recall deedbot auth service is itself down the tree from ircbot
mircea_popescu: spyked, it was obvious you were going to implement voicing to make rss bot ? and it was also obvious that you're going to switch state from "making rss bot" to "implementing voice for ircbot so i can proceed with making rssbot", so you didn't announce that either. do you have a value for $x ?
spyked: mircea_popescu, I admit some of my wording might be confusing, but I announced that in my report today. self-voicing is a prerequisite for rss bot, arising from
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-25#1818700 , so I'm implementing. how is this state switching?
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2018-05-25 12:38 spyked: so eventually I expect some of the rss bot components (e.g. command handling, self-voicing) to evolve into standalone scaffolding for #trilema bots that implements a decent subset of

☟︎ ben_vulpes: hey BingoBoingo would you apply the same razor you applied to the landing page copy to the rest of the copy on the pizarro site?
deedbot: L1: 1, L2: 3 by 3 connections.
trinque: spyked: did it ever cross your mind that command handling might be a solved problem too?
trinque: if you'd have asked the author of the thing you're apparently using
a111: Logged on 2018-05-20 03:41 trinque: you latest crop of socially damaged derps will learn to communicate, and that's all.
trinque: there's a whole thread on whether or not "fuck you, I'm not marrying bot commands to postgresql" we're denying posterity here
mircea_popescu: well, apparently he doesn't know what goes in $x. which... i have nfi how this is possible, but somehow it occured. "i am working on a thing" "who made it" "dunno" "vorwarts, soviet!"
spyked: mircea_popescu, trinque, aha, now I get my miscommunication. but I confess to being confused by the "value for $x" question.
mircea_popescu: understand, the only reason we even fucking rewrite things is because the imperial "item of unknown ownership, provenance and parentage" breaks republican process.
mircea_popescu: THAT is the process. right there. what are you doing, on whose thing, etcetera. it's entirely univocal, what.
spyked: no, what I mean is really, couldn't evaluate the metaphor in this context. /me admits to being overly thick.
mircea_popescu: what metaphor! it's an metasyntactic variable, you never encountered before ?!
☟︎ mircea_popescu: do you have a value for "doing the polarbeard stupid" ? can you explain what it is ?
mircea_popescu: o brother. what is this, spyked's friendly fuzzing service ?
spyked: but yes, I understand mircea_popescu now, thing is vaporware/non-existent until properly published and signed.
mircea_popescu: it means this : that instead of explicitly communicating state, a. "i r making rss bot" ; b. "hey trinque wtf, ircbot doesn't do voicing ?" ; c. "o well, stopped making rss bot, making voice module for ircbot to be able to make rss bot later" and THEN 1. pushing a voice patch to ircbot BEFORE d. "back to making rss bot"
mircea_popescu: instead you just dump an endless pile of diffs that a) do multiple unrelated things and b) don't even betray any awareness of the process involved in all of this.
trinque: spyked: hasn't to do with the publishing and signing yet. open source is shit precisely because every idiot comes in and does his own thing without talking to the last guy
trinque: because coy and what if he doesn't like me, or fuck knows
mircea_popescu: poor communication with the exterior and poor structuring of the internal process. no, it's not AT ALL the same fucking thing, oh, x is vaguely related to y so let's call it all z." the point isn't to make stu over here.
mircea_popescu: all this communication you opt to not do when it costs you a dime a page i then have to do later, at the cost of a dollar a word. it's fucking bs, save me money.
spyked takes this lesson. will make his pre/post-work communication happen (as explicitly as possible) in the future.
trinque: ok, so lets have the thread!
trinque: ircbot does nothing but connect to IRC, does nickserv auth, and provides a minimal api to send/receive messages
trinque: this imho is totally proper, atop that I've written a class logbot that extends ircbot, makes it write messages to a "log" table in postgresql, read outgoing messages from an "outbox" table
spyked: my thought re trilema spec is having something along the lines of a "trilbot" that performs some of the basic scaffolding (self-voicing and command prefix parsing).
mircea_popescu: trinque, is it actually the case ircbot can't do the voicing ?
spyked: could be standalone lisp package, used by e.g. rss bot
spyked: and built on top ircbot
trinque: mircea_popescu: deedbot is *providing* auth here
mircea_popescu: spyked, so then you were actually going to " writing de novo" ?
trinque: I have not at all implemented *using* auth
trinque: the proper place to do that is not at all ircbot
trinque: it's a descendent class thereof
mircea_popescu: "here's how i expect this to be used : a) ircbot is a basic class ; b) logbot is an extension of it ; c) if you're ever making a rss bot, scavenge the relevant parts off logbot, and put a different vtree on top of ircbot"
trinque: it's not a vtree on top of ircbot
trinque: and yeah, the rationale for what each class is used for is in the blog post
trinque: the blogpost is the README from each
mircea_popescu: so then properly, the rationale is in the vpatches, something like that.
spyked: the reason I was first set off by mircea_popescu's question was that it led me to "what implication do lisp modules (packages?) have for v? is each module/package supposed to have its own v tree?"
trinque: it'd have to; I can write a class that extends n other classes.
trinque: we can't put each descendent class in every parent's v-tree, or there's one v-tree for the whole world
a111: Logged on 2018-05-25 21:02 spyked: dependencies explicitly; this is already the case in the bot's .asd file), or c. add rss bot as set of patches onto ircbot.
mircea_popescu: think : if you take the time to say, i don't have to take the time to later ask. it's a penny saved, aka earned.
trinque: that problem is not solved
trinque: however, my work on portage walks towards that.
spyked: mircea_popescu, which "this"? my reading ircbot, or the implication regarding v?
mircea_popescu: "hey $x (=trinque), i read $y and it makes perfect sense. i intend to do $z"
mircea_popescu: "obviously" and "implicitly" are not nearly as friendly as they may seem ; especially in this context.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-02 11:03 spyked: speaking of which; to all ircbot users: I have a patch proposal for ircbot (and possibly logbot). the problem: nickserv authentication makes a distinction between "nickname" and "user". this allows e.g. to group multiple irc bots (with different nicks) under a single username and cloak. so my proposal is to add a new *optional* "user" slot to ircbot and use it for auth instead of "nick" when available
mircea_popescu: spyked, yes, but you have to pick something at some point. you can't be doing everything at the same time.
mircea_popescu: is it that you're writing a new item ? is it that you're extending an extant one ? this is decided FIRST. not "as we go along, and then changed".
spyked: mircea_popescu, I ended up working on a couple of new ones. a. trilema spec subset and b. rss bot.
mircea_popescu: spyked, you'll discover you'll do much better working serially.
mircea_popescu: but be that as it may : there's always going to be good and bad arguments for whatever choice ; but that has no bearing on the fact that you must still choose, and at the time of choice not at whatever time it may occur to you to.
mircea_popescu: so, is the rss bot ~something you're extending irc bot into~ or ~something you're writing de novo~. one and only one may be the case.
mircea_popescu: and the fact that i have to ask at all, let alone i have to re-ask after an hour's conversation is a very strong marker for a poorly organized mind. you're supposed to know what you're doing, what!
spyked: mircea_popescu, it is going to be separate item, but based on ircbot. can't be an extension of ircbot, for the same reason logbot can't be (some people might not wanna put a rsstron into their ircbot)
mircea_popescu: i don't get it. you can't press to arbitrary heads now ?
lobbesbot: douchebag: Sent 4 hours and 32 minutes ago: <asciilifeform> if you think the faux-camwhores approach will work to make a 'backup' identity for self, this time with new flavouring -- 1) it won't 2) drop it 3) this is good road to -10
trinque: he thinks you were that derp from earlier
spyked: mircea_popescu, the rss bot would branch the ircbot tree then. if trinque or mircea_popescu see any reason for adding rss bot on top of ircbot, I see no reason not to, but it would be disjoint item (i.e. only file changed would be manifest)
spyked: more to the point: there is a relation between ircbot and the rss bot, but I'm not sure it would make sense for v to enforce that.
trinque: does the v-tree suck in a particular version of the linux kernel too?
trinque: I think he's asking where the line is drawn
trinque: ircbot will be a dependency of his thing, so he wants to know how to denote that
mircea_popescu: i don't even know what fucking line. what line ? it's either a genesis or a patchset. that's thje fucking line. what other line ?!
trinque: how would you like me to restate it
spyked: mircea_popescu, lemme try to restate the thing as I see it. the rss bot doesn't make changes to ircbot, it's a new thing that uses ircbot as a dependency. so from this follows (in my mind, so pls to say if broken!) that the new thing will be a genesis.
mircea_popescu: this is factually incorrect. from "item has 1 dependency : otheritem" it follows strictly that item will be a succession of patches on otheritem tree.
mircea_popescu: if it were the case that item has >1 dependency, oi1..n, then it would have been resolved by a) picking one and b) introducing as patches into that tree all otheritems 1..n-1.
mircea_popescu: afaik ben_vulpes made one and trinque the other or somesuch. in general, the cause for this is author1 thinks author2 is an idiot.
☟︎ trinque: this is absolutely not what was being denoted by that
mircea_popescu: well, it's what i understand. what was being denoted ?
trinque: I don't see that eucrypt code includes the ada compiler? why not?
mircea_popescu: but should eg, bitcoin-fs be written, then yes trb will exist in the same tree as bitcoin-fs. and should we go as low as tmsr-os, then yes, tmsr-os as genesis will have bitcoin-fs patchzone and then trb patchzone after that. and people wanting to use bitcoinfs for something else can just press up to there and no further. and projects wanting to import bitcoinfs but not trb will just build off that height of tree, and continue
mircea_popescu: and yes, "the complete tree of all patches ever downstream from tmsr-os genesis" will include ~everything~ we ever made, and there's nothing wrong with that ; and people not caring to keep the complete patchset will keep whatever subs they want, exactly like
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-09#1794613 ☝︎ a111: Logged on 2018-04-09 14:31 mircea_popescu: a right. hanbot do me a favour : download ~only~ those patches which are in the leftmost trunk seen on phf's viewer (so exclude vtools_vdiff_sha, and its dependents) and try to flow again ?
spyked: mircea_popescu, but say I have a similar itcbot vtree, with logbot on top. then top of it I include trilemabot (handling self-voicing et al.), then on top of that rss bot. then if I want to use rss bot but not logbot (which don't depend on each other), how would I go about that?
mircea_popescu: spyked, why is trilemabot on top of logbot instead of on the side of logbot ?
trinque: I think this is absolutely correct, and I'm in error not putting logbot in ircbot's tree.
mircea_popescu: (the realisation that v-tree management is a lot like playing tetris should probably hit just about now)
mircea_popescu: trinque, not the end of the world, the "author1 thionks author2 is an idiot" can be very mild indeed, "i didn't like the patchlength, collapsed some and regenesised"
spyked: mircea_popescu, then if they're separate branches and if I want to make purely hypothetical spykedbot that does both? would end up with patch with two antecedents, should v press that? should I regrind?
mircea_popescu: spyked, v presses that as it is now, why not. plenty of examples extant.
trinque: I suppose I should've said instead "had there been a gnat v-tree, eucrypt would never find itself in a position where gnat had moved, and nobody can find the gnat to build eucrypt"
mircea_popescu: that's even why eucrypt doesn't want to be outside of the tree of its dependencies, after all.
trinque: there's a cultural thing here that just came into view. the work will be regrinding until there's fewer and fewer disjunct trees.
mircea_popescu: whenever the weight of signatures warrants the effort.
spyked was thinking, will "the (one and only) v tree" end up eating everything?
mircea_popescu: depends on dependencies. eg you can have independent arm and x86 osen.
mircea_popescu: or can have special purpose osen in other ways, and end up with lone trees.
mircea_popescu: for instance : bitcoinfs may be found useful by someone storing flac muzak. they'd then copy it from its original tmsr-os / trb tree, and put it in their gp-os / torrent tree.
trinque: will be interesting what comes of tracking those lineages
mircea_popescu: this'd take some doing, conceivably, but the someone in question may find the answer to "import or rewrite" favourable on the import side.
mircea_popescu: trinque, i dunno that they're to be tracked, it'd be 100% elbow grease of the porter and his beard.
trinque: sure, but whether the same patch hunk ended up in two places is computable, interesting in a patch-viewer sense, not in a vtron-operation sense
mircea_popescu: i suspect it may not be fully computable. but, sure, we see how it goes.

trinque: spyked: so sounds like you're going to patch your items (in as many small, easy to read patches as possible) atop ircbot?
trinque: and I'm going to graft logbot's v-tree onto ircbot
mircea_popescu: do me a favour and don't wait on the voice part so as to dump it together with the rss part, either.
mircea_popescu: and conceivably both logbot and rssbot want voice module, because logbot will want to read references to its logsite.
pipp8: thanks, Hi all, I'm a little noob about bitcoin, so I'm sorry, But from your website thebitcoin.fundation I can read you still use bitcoin 0.54(or 0.53 official with bug solved) why you have choose this version? what succesive implementations wasn't in line with your thinking?? you don't want?
spyked: mircea_popescu, okay. the rss bot needs self-voicing, command prefixes et al., so it's eventually going to come further down in the tree, on top of them.
pipp8: mircea_popescu, ok
mircea_popescu: you can of course interleave, it's not the end of the world.
mircea_popescu: ie, as a general rule, always start with the more general parts.
spyked: trinque, re. voice and other trilema-bot functionality, I'd like to take a look at the code you have if you're willing to share.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-25 15:44 phf: and i guess you're trying to replace google's uboot with a built-from-src one, that doesn't also have rsa checks etc.
trinque: to reiterate, I do not have code to self-voice. deedbot is providing voice to everyone else.
ben_vulpes: pipp8: because nothing after 0.5.3 was strictly necessary.
trinque: the code I have is to provide the voicing service, which isn't useful for your purposes, but will certainly be released at some point
spyked: mircea_popescu, no, not yet. it's next on the todo list.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i'll spare you the "wtf have you been doing thus far". this time.
spyked: trinque, okay, then I'ma do that first. and then get back to you for command prefixes.
trinque: I suspect logbot is terribly named. it's more aptly an IRC-pg bridge.
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2018-05-25 15:47 phf: so an intermediate step that someone else could perform is to take your rockchip gentoo, generate new rsa pair, sign the kernel with pub, patch google's uboot with priv and get a clean booting rockchip gentoo setup, without accidentally bricking the device? (while still retaining known amount of google in the system)
a111: Logged on 2018-05-25 15:51 trinque: idea being "rockchip blobless scope:15" would bring you to anywhere those terms are within 15 lines of each other
mircea_popescu: and if it ~is~ resource intensive, implement it anyway, publish a way for user to evaluate cost, and charge them like lobbes ' auctionbot. monthly or w/e.
mircea_popescu: i would not object to !!paying whatever pittance my needs may drive me to, and if it's not a pittance i'll either change the needs or be thankful for the useful service.
spyked: I'm gonna change that with the one from the bot list when I bring it in the chan
spyked: but it seemed more intuitive for some reason. could be e.g. !R for rss.
mircea_popescu: the value of "i forgot what this is" gotta balance with the value of "this is impossible to fucking type".
mircea_popescu: also i'm not exactly instrumented here to handle testing of pming bots, rss or otherwise. so mebbe someone else may be more useful ?
spyked: yeah, it produced an error! gotta debug it. there's no sane rss parser out there.
