danielpbarron: yeah i'm not a huge fan of the deleting part, but it was a point of contention among the fellowship
ben_vulpes: "i was wrong, and the new piece lives at XXX" didn't pass muster or what ☟︎
danielpbarron: i'll have to write up the arguments made re: wife beating
danielpbarron: i have the article marked private, maybe when i have a new one to link i'll ask about doing that. but i think their point was if you don't believe it anymore why even have it there?
ben_vulpes: to point at your evolution as a human being over time, for one
ben_vulpes: then, sucked. now, suck less.
ben_vulpes: otherwise one implies timeless energy-dragon crystalline perfection of self, which is a falsehood.
danielpbarron: i agree
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-24#1837476 << more generally, actually : that you're so fucking private about what's doubtless a public point of concern, namely the strange case of the conversion of a member of the republic's lordship smells to me of a colossal wasted opportunity. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: "i am the guy who was going to go to the republica oriental but then went to rural oklahoma instead and 2018 is the year i explained nothing about this on my blog".
mircea_popescu: the puritan low-volume-comms thing is generally a losing strategy, both socially and personally, but ESPECIALLY so here.
mircea_popescu: user_ dude stop fucking around with that connection
mircea_popescu: !!up user_
deedbot: user_ voiced for 30 minutes.
mircea_popescu: who the fuck are you anyway ?

mod6: asciilifeform: ah
mircea_popescu: me either.
mircea_popescu: why the fuck would i. strikes me a lot like "breaking up". who the fuck does that, what, i'm monogamous now ?!
asciilifeform: 'the moving finger writes, and having writ...' or how did it go.
mod6: asciilifeform: mats is a pizarro customer, he has paid through july. however, we need to consider letting him stay a customer since:
mod6: !!reputation mats
deedbot: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/JuTUX/?raw=true
mircea_popescu: fuck me, i'm ruining your shit aren't i.
mircea_popescu will unrate, i suspect the point is made and i really don't give that much of a shit.
mircea_popescu: !!unrate mats
deedbot: Get your OTP: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/32cp5/?raw=true
asciilifeform: mats is not only pizarro customer , but also collecting phuctor fodder ( btw mats , lemme know when ready , it can go in same day )
mircea_popescu: you talked me out of it.
mod6: np mircea_popescu, just trying to make sure we're keeping pizarro's house clean. cheers
asciilifeform: mod6: relatedly , douchebag's subscription ( purchased by mircea_popescu ) also expires end of month iirc
mircea_popescu: im not renewing.
asciilifeform: aite
mod6: ok thanks, mircea_popescu. noted.
mircea_popescu: i might get this inept slut a blog though... what'd pizarro think about giving my stupid whores slots on the mp-wp megaserver ? ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: then , BingoBoingo : plox to power down rk 'A' and insert its stick into dulap , for reimaging, when subscr expires ☟︎
asciilifeform: this box will become arm64 cuntoo pilot.
mircea_popescu: i mean, "my computer was updating" level of windowsity, 0 expectation of any kind of clean process.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if your pet can operate a mp-wp, can use, why not
mod6: mircea_popescu: I don't see any problem with it as long as it's all paid up and we can you or them directly for it.
mircea_popescu: cuz i thought the idea was that there's some security concerns.
mod6: Your pets, your mess :]
mircea_popescu: i don't suspect she'd be in the slightest malicious ; but i also don't expect she ever controlled a box. for all i know it's an open relay.
asciilifeform: very limited damage can be done by sheer ineptitude from a mp-wp , afaik .
mircea_popescu: well... afaik also. but it's your box, so it's your call. shall we find out ?

asciilifeform: 'Unicode Character 'FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY' (U+1F602)' ftr.
mircea_popescu: motherfuckers managed to "make the LOL" have tears in eyes.
asciilifeform: nuts.
mod6: sad
mircea_popescu: because it's totally lwtime.
mircea_popescu: "oh but mp, accurate glyph for lol would have to include sound" "so ?" "so we can't do that" "you can't do any of the other shits you're doing either..." "but a limit must be drawn!" "no, motherfucker. a limit must be drawn alphabet existed already. you're the no limits may be drawn crowd. fucking hang by your own petard, lol is a face emitting sound as glyph!"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: controlled techno-regress (e.g. in this case, from alphabets to hieroglyphs) is a perennial obsession among the jwz folx , the same people want to mandate earth latrines instead of watercloset, BingoBoingo's butane cycle fridge , etc. notion being, i suspect, 'wind back the clock to when we mattered'
mircea_popescu: or go back up their stupid mother's cunts, why not.
asciilifeform: that's pretty much it.
asciilifeform: meanwhile in vintage flondors, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zs0jXa9u-a0

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i read the 'how things have changed' piece and from the opening 'Six years ago that was even correct ; but meanwhile consider' expected a 'seawater uranium mining nao +ev' but turns out nope ; moar hieroglyphic sluts ? or what am i missing

asciilifeform: ty BingoBoingo . mod6 plox to confirm exact time.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform consider eg that pizarro doesn't need to undertake the (significant, and unbounded) cost of writing "code of conduct" or "terms of service" or any of the other nonsense. things have changed. nude bitcoin is dangerous in the sense discussed in 2012, but bitcoin-as-currency-of-the-republic eminently usable today. ☟︎
asciilifeform: aa this yes
mircea_popescu: moreover, these are different items. the chick with the emoji and http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-24#1837516 are not the same. i don't expect you to care about the difference, but i do. to me it's meaningful, and in the end that's all it takes, yes ? exactly mirror case of the mats discussion above. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-07-24 15:09 mircea_popescu: i might get this inept slut a blog though... what'd pizarro think about giving my stupid whores slots on the mp-wp megaserver ?
asciilifeform: i was speaking of the 'the offensively stupid poor. The costs of the strategic mistake of dealing with them' item
asciilifeform: aa
mircea_popescu: if i can select one usable nude floorwasher in 250k imperial "accounts", then probably so could you* (*conceivably, you don't want nude floorwashers, but ~necessarily~ it doesn't matter what you want, the foregoing applies)
mircea_popescu: but whether you can or you can't, you don'tr know until you try.
asciilifeform: theoretically yes. and hey, the nigerians took it to a high art in the '90s.
mircea_popescu: as the cattle goes browsing on the pasture, so does the white butterfly go looking for cabages.
mircea_popescu: less than 1% of 1% of the material of interest to the ox is of interest to pieris rapae ; but the field provides for all.
asciilifeform: elementarily , the critters for whom the field does not today provide , are nowhere to be seen.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the nigerians were looking for a stupid. there's a fundamental difference between self-limiting and self-expanding things ; and i propose the nigerians aren't a relevant model at all.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but not for lack of trying!
mircea_popescu: if i take http://trilema.com/2018/it-came-out/ cutie for a sea trip and it has the misfortune of coming to life 500 miles out, it'll still fly over the ocean looking. and so must you, because until you're dead you don't know you're dying.
asciilifeform: right
asciilifeform: i'ma have to take mircea_popescu's word for it re the diff b/w the 2 chix
asciilifeform: ( to asciilifeform it is opaque )
asciilifeform: ( and iirc we already have a thread in the l0gz where mircea_popescu 'they could! be trained to do technical works but i would not waste prime chix on soul-rotting butugychag' , so no particular reason to review unless mircea_popescu feels like )
mircea_popescu: link ?
asciilifeform: hmm
mod6: <+asciilifeform> ty BingoBoingo . mod6 plox to confirm exact time. << according to the notes about the accounts that I received last night from ben_vulpes, his rockchip is rented through August 19th.
asciilifeform: ah ty mod6
mod6: ben_vulpes: plz confirm ^
mod6: anyway, I believe you can re-image starting: 2018.08.20 00:00:00
mircea_popescu: you know, far be it from me to hassle you folk about your fine organisation ; but it occurs to me, on the butress of experience, that you're running a very wasteful process in that every.single.god.damned.thing produces an interrupt. there should be some queues and some batching, you can't ping someone every.single.time.anything.occurs. yes ?
mircea_popescu: "one single interrupt is worth 15 minutes of labour" or how did that tale go.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: at current rate of interrupts, 2-3/month . but yes, will have to be optimized.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i saw two the past hour and i recall at leasta coupla yest which is why i said.
mod6: agree, and duly noted.
mod6: yeah, forgive me. i'm just getting up to speed on all of the particularities of what is going on here. I only ask ben to confirm because alf said earlier that it expired at the end of the month.
mod6: Which, conflicts with the notes. And to your point, mircea_popescu, we need to get better at comms & note sharing.
mircea_popescu: possibly have a file with all the stuff you want to send people (because this process of -- think of it -- do something about it! has a lot of merit to it). but if you just >> alf.txt and then once a day or once a week or w/e >> gpg -aer alf and >> p.bvulpes.com then you get it all.
mircea_popescu: also has the advantage that it puts the patters right under your eyes, so to speak. you get organisational audit for free with it.
mircea_popescu: patterns*
mod6: *nod*. The file I've got in front of me is a good start to such a reoccring information passing. It's genereated dozens of questions from me; once I have them answered, I'll send it around. This will also help BB get up to speed on what is what early.
mod6: I appreciate the advise here. The management end here has to get better.
mircea_popescu: practice makes purrfect.
mircea_popescu: that's the overawing important point -- the reason we are so damned good today has a lot to do with what lispers call repl and biologists call genetics. if you can get a recurring loop going you'll probably win.
mircea_popescu: "use the log" doesn't just mean, read here. use it, as the tool it is, in the sense of permit referentiality.
asciilifeform exhausted the current allotment of cycles to dredge up the $thread , perhaps will turn up later when i remember the correct hooks
asciilifeform: it went approx like this, iirc some time in 2016 : asciilifeform : 'if quality slavegurlz can be trained to do anything , mircea_popescu couldja spare 1 or 2 for ada battallion ' mircea_popescu : 'hell no, why would i waste any on such a thing; what next, i will ask asciilifeform to do field work detail in their place ? ' ☟︎
asciilifeform: ^ if anybody recalls this thread, plox to link
mircea_popescu: i expect it was more along the lines of "you manage yours, i'll manage mine, tyvm."
asciilifeform: right, i dun disagree
mircea_popescu: but yes, if you've got a competent spy you're not going to make her a competent kbd monkey -- for approximately the same reason people don't usually eat their children. acceptable substitutes for flesh can usually be found. ☟︎
asciilifeform: that being said, history knows cases where officer in short-handed unit picked up rifle and engaged .
mircea_popescu: hence eg today's http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-24#1837516 ☝︎

asciilifeform: aha
mircea_popescu: in fairness, that's more in the vein of "well... i got this here chunk, but hard to tell what it actually is, bring me a selection of hammers to hit it with see if it sings."
asciilifeform: oblig su joak : division commander notices that maxim gun emplacement has fallen silent. he walks over , 'comrade gunner, why is your maxim silent' gunner : 'comrade lieutenant, i've run through my belt' lieutenant : 'BUT YOUR ARE A COMMUNIST!' ... the maxim promptly begins to chatter again !
