mircea_popescu: asciilifeform psd and pdl, the two major political parties at the time
mircea_popescu: ro has this habit of recycling the apparatus under diff names, ~same bs as in us but gets a new name every 5ish years.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform chick doesn't read code or understand anything. she just sed 's/x/y/g' 's and that's it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's these unicorns, "liberal professions". supposedly exist in some circumstances that nobody yet encountered.
mircea_popescu: it should not be possible for a mp-wp correctly installed to display the (()) part
lobbesbot: asciilifeform: The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, the chick's something else. she loses like 40-50 iq points in writing. orally she's almost promising ; then she decides she's gonna write up an article, has a pretty decent idea for one, gets to work and what comes out is barely fit for jr high. i've never seen anything like this before.
☟︎ trinque: mircea_popescu: this really adds to the lulz re chorus of bois begging her to say they aren't inadequate.
mircea_popescu: boys nothing, there's this 40something moron with a collection of "slaves" ie confused girlies on xanax, and so on. heck, danielpbarron is saving her also, apparently.
trinque: danielpbarron: don't you have nothing to do over a case of coors somewhere?
trinque: asciilifeform: can find girl who was never forced to write anything in any city in USA
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform still, 4th largest us metro area or some shit, i forget.
mircea_popescu: trinque all they fucking do all day is write, you kidding me ? they work in an office, what else is there to do in an office besides writing ?
mircea_popescu: destroys any notion of narrative structure, doesn't it. "bulletpoints"
trinque: thing's full of the 'gist' of whichever thoughts she had all lined up in head
a111: Logged on 2016-11-08 19:50 mircea_popescu: +30 iq points from #trilema

mircea_popescu: and thank the good fellows, they've saved me! it turns out your problem is that you're trying to "select the gist" of your thoughts, and paste it in.
mircea_popescu: this is a very broken approach to writing -- thoughts have to flow from one another, in a constructed, harmonious whole. you're supposed to delineate the relations as well as the "gists".
mircea_popescu: there's no such thing as a "gist" anyway, not anymore than "niche" or "equality" or any other of a grosse pantsuit manic moronicities.
mircea_popescu: in fact, if trilema the blog is dedicated to anything as a literary exercise, it would be very plainly "there's no such thing as gists".
mircea_popescu: eulora very thought-based, there's bots there's things.
mircea_popescu: yeah but i mean, it's not like i have tons of art looking for ways to ease public consumption thereof.
mircea_popescu: in fact, vice-versa, been trying to hire artists for half a decade.
nicoleci: mircea_popescu, no sorry just taking it all in
lobbesbot: nicoleci: Sent 3 weeks, 5 days, 2 hours, and 59 minutes ago: <asciilifeform> s/chipher/cipher , s/Bansky/Banksy , plz
nicoleci: not always great to do the unbelievable
trinque: on the subject of struggles to emulate stupid, danielpbarron I can't imagine what this post is meant to convey.
trinque: couple of old women talking about who said the bad?
danielpbarron: for one, it shows how "offensive language" can be a barrier to spreading the truth. additionally, it exposes that guy in particular as being a false christian
trinque: this solipsistic head-arse system is shaped quite like gabriel_laddel by now.
trinque: any projects other than getting blocked by derps on twitter?
trinque: danielpbarron: here's a question. on the glorious day after everyone on twitter agrees, falls before lord jesus, etc., what next?
danielpbarron: next would be, Christ rules the earth for one thousand years
trinque: pats danielpbarron on the back for his twitter posts?
trinque: "Well done, good and faithful servant, retweeted"
danielpbarron: i would be taken up in the rapture before then, hopefully
danielpbarron: the Word is to be preached in all places, be it on the street or on twitter. And afterwards, it makes for blog content.
danielpbarron: is it really so much different than sending messages on kinky dating sites?
mircea_popescu: technically speaking, it's not "really so much different" from finnegans wake, either.
mircea_popescu: i suppose the problem could be stated as "yes, sex is universally interesting, being a fundamental human behaviour ; whereas religion is universally uninteresting, being fundamentally indistinguishable from gossip."
mircea_popescu: and not even gossip is all made the same. when i drop
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-04#1878182 it falls like a bomb because biographic minutia and "then he said"s of newton and taylor are still interesting -- these are somebodies, people who described actual, verifiable properties of defined abstracts, and so people marginally care whether they took showers or baths and so on.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: meanwhile some hurr about moses or abraham or whatever... these aren't somebodies. they're nobodies, did nothing, contributed nothing, i care about as much as to what abraham spawned out of which women as i care whether obama's ugly mother spit him out a week before or a week after they left kenya city harbor.
danielpbarron: the truth of the Bible is universally known; to call it uninteresting is to make a fool of yourself
mircea_popescu: universally known my foot, most nobody ever read it, or could be bothered to.
mircea_popescu: the number 9 is not universally known, what hope's left for jesus or w/e action figurine.
danielpbarron: Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and
danielpbarron: Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform, BingoBoingo: here's the accounting-side statement for november:
http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/Xfsgf/?raw=true . production of these numbers is largely automatic, the stitching together is largely manual. now that i've coughed up november's numbers, i'll go back and apply this methodology to regenerating september and october statements, in the process identifying the bits to mechanize for future
ben_vulpes: robo-production, or ripe for surfacing through mp-wp.
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: couldn't get your pg to work; psql shits out with "symbol not found"
a111: Logged on 2018-07-16 16:44 mircea_popescu: diana_coman note that "binary identity" is not even necessary a premise. you can go "hey shithead, why the fuck are you linking dynamic mysql when there's been a static one for five years". or w/e.
a111: Logged on 2018-12-09 18:50 diana_coman: will do and report back when it finishes - probably I get to see it in ~12 hours from now though
diana_coman: anyway, trinque your script is actually doing the right thing as far as I can tell for now
a111: Logged on 2018-10-03 13:49 asciilifeform: diana_coman: interesting ; any idea re contents ?
diana_coman: I just left a tcpdump running and it seems to have gotten 428k of those over 2 months
☟︎ diana_coman: ftr that is from running the cuntoo script on a different machine - apparently I managed to find a configuration that breaks it; I'll have to see what exactly is the difference that breaks it
diana_coman: trinque, after fixing my vdiff on the laptop, I re-run the cuntoo script; it finished fine and it produced a 4.7M genesis.vpatch but the sig does NOT verify ("BAD signature")
☟︎ diana_coman: let me know if there is some specific info I can provide to help re diff perhaps
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes that was a putative as-to-the-eventual-future discussion. i'm not aware we have static lamp, though it's not yet clear it strictly can't be done.
diana_coman: we don't have, no; afaik it hasn't been actually tried as such, so possibly doable, no idea
mircea_popescu: * IMPORTANT: config file '/etc/hosts' needs updating. << da fuck is that.
☟︎ diana_coman: I read it as "more of those 'you should prefer that' " so I ignored it entirely; from what I saw, current gentoo whines similarly of all sorts and in copious quantities

mircea_popescu: psa : one point of mp-wp people might not be familiar with is the feed encoding. like here :
http://bimbo.club/?feed=rss2 ; that leading "OTIxMjQ0NTYxMTJ8MTc5LjUwLjIyNi4xNjE=" encodes the ip of the caller. if you get your feeds republished (often done by spammers ), you de-base the string and can ban the scrapper by ip.

trinque: I'll want to root out the indeterminism in the script (timestamp? machine name?) and rerelease
diana_coman will go now to Reading Uni to talk to students; will bbl
a111: Logged on 2018-12-10 14:27 mircea_popescu: * IMPORTANT: config file '/etc/hosts' needs updating. << da fuck is that.
trinque: yep, shows you diff of what the package wanted to do to the contents of /etc, iirc apt does same
lobbesbot: BingoBoingo: Sent 15 hours and 40 minutes ago: <asciilifeform> iirc you were the one who set up nicoleci's mp-wp, plox to take look ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i suspect it was operator error, meanwhile fixed. soz.
a111: Logged on 2018-12-10 15:41 mircea_popescu: o hey! have fun diana_coman
diana_coman: I'll get around to do a write-up hopefully
diana_coman: asciilifeform, basically "what is bitcoin" + innovation vs subversion and I used WoT + V as examples; the WoT sparked a ton of questions
diana_coman: you know, I asked the prof to take at least some pictures and he was so intently following that he...forgot; had to ask him at the end to take at least 2, lol
diana_coman: anyways, now I'm kind of curious whether any of them actually makes a key and shows up in #eulora or somewhere
bvt: hello, i'm back in the saddle. i intend to finish the ada syscalls around next weekend (23.12)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform whatever rando schmuck feels like. what, that's not how things go ?!@??!?
a111: Logged on 2017-07-12 20:30 asciilifeform: is this same 'for' as when the good doktor chowdhra offered to accept nobel 'for satoshi' ?
diana_coman: criticism welcome - I'll take notes for next time basically
diana_coman: and for that matter I did not even mention rsa by name
diana_coman: they did wake up at some point and esp re the WoT - perhaps it was closer home, or perhaps it rankled more
diana_coman: well yes, clear is clear for who has any idea ; but tbh I think it was the first time they really got *any* idea re crypto at all
diana_coman: now I'm even curious if it's the same as bvt's
diana_coman: np, let me know if there's anything else I can provide to help
trinque: guess what, I'm an idjit and used sha vdiff, it appears! hashes are where mine differs from diana_coman
☟︎ trinque: this is encouraging though, everything else looks like a direct hit
trinque: ah, nope, few other differences besides that. I'll work through this and report what I find.
diana_coman: kk; meanwhile I still have on the list to figure out what's the diff that messes up the python installation thing on the other machine...
trinque: diana_coman: that appears to be that your host machine doesn't have a /dev/shm mounted. python's build requires it, haven't investigated why
diana_coman: trinque, onth the host machine otherwise *does* have python installed, v 2.7.6 so dunno, somehow it did install it without the shm thing
trinque: diana_coman: if gentoo, could be same python as came with your stage3; if something else, it's only required to build python, not to run it
trinque: ah k, that'd explain it. wasn't built there, just unpacked from package.
diana_coman: as it's all pizarro anyway I suppose you can just set up some testing if you want more details on that
diana_coman: for completeness, the tcpdump cmd was this: tcpdump -i eth0 udp port 7000 -vv -X
a111: Logged on 2018-12-10 19:41 asciilifeform: 1st time i hear of india programmer type trying to mircea_popescuate
mircea_popescu: but whatever, some people manage the cern datahose, some people count the packing peanuts, it's all numbers right.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform cca 2005ish packaging of the pantsuit/usgtard ideas on magic. nth rehash of the "if you think something really really hard it will be".
mircea_popescu: "In the New Thought philosophy, the Law of Attraction is the belief that by focusing on positive or negative thoughts, people can bring positive or negative experiences into their life.[1][2] The belief is based on the idea that people and their thoughts are both made from pure energy, and that through the process of like energy attracting like energy a person can improve their own health, wealth, and personal relationships. "
mircea_popescu: positive and negative ENERGY, because it's not a scalar anymore.
mircea_popescu: and paduche la paduche trage, because they never went to school, never heard of charge, weak nuclear force, etc.
