mod6: Lords and Ladies of TMSR~, The Bitcoin Foundation's monthly State of Bitcoin Address: http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2019-May/000329.html ☟︎

mod6: http://104.131.72.249/log/2019-05-01#1910410 << >> http://104.131.72.249/log/2019-04-17#1908744 << I still need to get familiarized with this. I haven't had a chance yet in April. Will try to dig in over the next week.

mod6: For what it's worth, still probably way out of my element on the whole thing, but can't hurt to read up on it.

deedbot: spyked_trvl voiced for 30 minutes.

spyked: hmmm. odd. it seems spyked_trvl can't up itself, even tho I rated it. trinque, any idea why?

spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-27#1910134 <-- makes lotsa sense, actually, so I'll leave it until someone for some reason needs to put a trilemabot in their logbot ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2018-07-22 16:53 mircea_popescu: spykedbot well, the google translate approach is dubious at best, but at least ~it handles all inputs~. this is an important property.

a111: Logged on 2019-05-01 05:46 lobbes: So with the release of the auctionbot vpatch the next item up in my list was the auto-bidding. However, I'm thinking I may bump the "logotron for #pizarro" item up (eventually releasing as a vpatch). Going to take a stab at making it 100% common lisp.

spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-01#1910403 <-- ftr, /me plans to post the next items on his todo list sometime next week, after a coupla photoposts ☝︎

mircea_popescu: besides, i don't even believe the comparison's adequate. as experience proves time and again, every single other channel is 100% a by-headcount affair, there's no substance and no quality anywhere else, but strictly a brutish dedication to quantity. ☟︎☟︎

mircea_popescu: trilema may exist in any count ; nothing else may dare pretend to existence short of millions. precisely in the manner a good car may cost whatever it costs ; but a cheap car'd better be fucking cheap.

mircea_popescu: and so it goes -- i spend hours here gladly each day ; i can barely summon the interest by the quarter hour, sporadically, a time or two ~in all eternity~ for some other joint. the same standards eminently do not apply, can't possibly apply.

mircea_popescu: school administration tells kids they really shouldn't ask any questions that aren't burning and of great interest to them personally.

mircea_popescu: everyone gasps, "omfg, THIS is what's burning you ?" and then just as putin starts "well...." the bell rings and class is dismissed.

mircea_popescu: this obnoxious точило cunt with the requisite humongo glasses, misshapen teeth etc raises her hand

mircea_popescu: "i have three questions : why did you invade the ukraine, what happened to my classmate sasha and why did the bell ring halfway through the period"

mircea_popescu: the idea being, transparently enough, that in pantsuitist alt-reality "putin [as pantsuit defines the term] can

mircea_popescu: never win [as idem]" because "all authority can do is multiply the questions", see, had they not "kidnapped sasha" there'd be fewer "questions to answer" and someone gives a shit etcetera.

mircea_popescu: that the inane cocksucker does spent as much as one waking hour at any point doing anything besides sucking our collective dick for this is in itself such an immoral affront to any sense and all sensibility as few pantsuits could ever hope to match.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-02#1910580 << prolly time to drop the phraseology and settle for a more adequately modest http://thetarpit.org/posts/y05/082-tmsr-schedule-i.html sorta thing, "this is what i intend to do". doesn't it get akward to "oh, state of bitcoin address, mod6 did this mod6 did that mod6 did the other" ? ☝︎☟︎

diana_coman: I tried all sorts of channels but it *very quickly* gets so annoying that I can't stand it even just looking at it occasionaly

mircea_popescu: not really. some vague discussion re implementing an img pastebin i saw somwhere, that meanwhile apparently disappeared.

mircea_popescu: diana_coman, do you recall what was the format for exclusion on btcbase search ?

mircea_popescu: well, i can't fucking find it. it was a kinda cool pastebin like thing, had a very retro look, like a qr code or soemsuch

mircea_popescu: someone was even going to implement it, which is the last i heard of it. ☟︎

diana_coman: it seems to me that there are sadly quite a few things that end up like that and it's infuriating

mircea_popescu: yes, someone tried to talk to the guy behind it -- pretty sure the someone was me ; pretty sure it went substantially like "techrights" thing recently.

mircea_popescu: it's remarkably how exactly the same these go once one's experienced enough to distinguish the irrelevancy they compose their "personality" and "differences" and "speshulness" out of.

diana_coman: it's such a well-worn ditch they dug themselves into that there isn't even an alternative failure mode anymore, huh

mircea_popescu: perpetually and predictably the exact same "well, so far incan empire's feeding me slop, so ima sit on ass and be skeptical about things". hence all the references to that wunderbar story of prikoke

diana_coman: from github for that project it seemed it's a chinese guy too so I'd have hoped perhaps not exactly same,hm.

diana_coman: I suppose the slop-feeding is in itself test enough - if one actually likes it and doesn't ever see any problem with it then it's precisely fit, what.

mircea_popescu: russian, chinese, qatari, in the end there's no such thing as nationality. burta ai, minte ce-ti mai trebuie. ☟︎

asciilifeform: i expect it means 'so little cocaine as to not be worth extracting' then. ( must be similar to the case with the poison frog ? y'know, the little colourful one. they grow a++ in terrarium, but entirely safe to eat )

mircea_popescu: the objection is sound on the face, but nevertheless for some unknown to me reason it seems not to prevail.

mircea_popescu: very similar process with opium, as well. burma had cvasi-monopoly in classival world. why ? certainly not because sent agents to kill anyone at unknown distances.

asciilifeform: this entirely troo. in south sovok we had both hemp and poppies growing wild, neither was smoked by ~anyone

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, that's because not finds ants it needs for poison. if you feed it ants in terrarium, poisonous.

mircea_popescu: (me knows this specifically, has seen the frog in question with own eyes, grown etc)

diana_coman: asciilifeform: re dulap-tarball, does that mean that it's in fact *that* the gentoo image hanbot was looking for as stepping stone towards cuntoo? i.e. deploy that first and then from there move on to cuntoo?

asciilifeform: there is not however a mechanism for 'convert from stone age gentoo to cuntoo w/out nuking disk', afaik .

diana_coman: yes but I struggle to understand why was it that hanbot struggled so much with getting a cuntoo first since apparently there is actually this image that is frozen and usable

asciilifeform: ( it is in principle possible to make such a thing, but no one afaik has attempted , and i cannot immediately think re how to approach )

asciilifeform: it's what's on s.mg an' dulap. but defo obsolete, it's a stone age glibc-based gentoo.

diana_coman: as far as I understood it, she was simply trying to get some gentoo system installed first i.e. to have A system, not that much to be able to emerge new stuff or whatever

asciilifeform: if you want another s.mg-style box, can be baked very quickly. but it does not reduce the amount of sweat needed to install cuntoo at later point.

asciilifeform: iirc hanbot was ~not~ working from dulap-gentoo tho, but from an even older bootstick image.

asciilifeform: to be maximally pedantic : both 'dulap' and 'rk' gentoo tarballs were created by literally tarring up the contents of two respective boxes where asciilifeform hand-sewed a gentoo based on the classic 2015-era 'kill list' gentoo recipe.

asciilifeform: ( on each, 'rebuild world' was executed, bins rebuilt with asciilifeform's flags etc )

asciilifeform: ave1's musltronic gnat does run on each, and so do the musltronic bins it births. however the system utils are still glibcistic.

asciilifeform: iirc diana_coman built the cuntoo that runs on the 2nd s.mg box, on this gentoo.

diana_coman: asciilifeform: that was a proto-cuntoo, essentially not exactly the current cuntoo

lobbes: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-02#1910594 << well, I was going to attack it in pieces anyways, so actually if you want to do the CL-based httptron portion, I'd happily read/sign/use.

a111: Logged on 2014-07-19 03:15 mircea_popescu: now among this dozen, there was a mentally retarded girl. she wasn't badly touched, maybe 80 or so. definitely enough to take care of herself. definitely not enough for high level math. her parents however were i dun recall what academic country gentry, and so they insisted she go.

mircea_popescu: not that i'm even against the effort. if memory serves we ended up with lego out of a very similar preoccupation with turning pig's ears into silk purses. so whatever, i'm sure the ruins of us academia will provide very advanced an' amusing playgrounds for the non-retarded.

mircea_popescu: well, rather, smart money does the quotients. "what's the relation between the quotient of the bets on the swift and the fashgionable respectively, and then on their relative swiftnesses ?"

asciilifeform: arthur d. little inc. once sewed silk purse from actual sow's ear. and floated a pb balloon, as advertising stunts, in '20s. but indeed 'remarkable bear, not remarkable dancer'

mircea_popescu: hence the earlier comments. "oh but mp, i don't want to procreate just like that... i want a small count of kids from this one specific woman to raise together bla bla bla" is strict nonsense.

mircea_popescu: one can want such a thing as wine, or red wine, or bordeaux, or even bordeaux from 1957

mircea_popescu: one can not want such a thing as "red wine in a unicorn shaped glass". that's not properly speaking a want, that's just pretense. dood properly speaking wants to be seen by me (god, whatever, same difference), AS HE SEES HIMSELF.

mircea_popescu: that's the whole fucking story there, he's trying to manipulate my divine perception, so he can rest easy. there's no composed wants like that in nature otherwise.

mircea_popescu: right ? so no, dood who "wants to feel like a good person" ends up doing the weirdo monogamous bs etcetera. which is what the original dood did also -- he didn't want the kid, he just wanted for he, himself, to feel like "a good person"

mircea_popescu: constructing a circus for his wife's minotaur eminently served that purpose OF HIS.

asciilifeform: imho straight cargo cult -- fella thought himself to be a product of similar process, didn't see 'why can't do again'

mircea_popescu: otherwise -- if you're poor nobody asked you anything and if you're rich and you want kids, the plough's in your pants and the field's over there, get crackin'.

asciilifeform naively imagines it'd sink in by some point, but from mircea_popescu's telling of the story evidently it didn't

asciilifeform: chukcha incidentally very easily conceptualizes 'maybe the gods dun like me'. typically his problem is re the 'wat do'

mircea_popescu: "but mp... it's not so much i want kids as in the bioproduct... i want to RAISE kids...." "wel then wtf are you making new ones for, plenty of already made needing your cuckservices. go teach highschool."

asciilifeform: relatedly, asciilifeform barfed, tuned out today from #techderps , it's kilometre of join/part liquishit + 'communi^H^H^H^H^Hlinux on desktop by 1980^H^H^H^Hnext year' snoars etc

asciilifeform: 0 followup to last night's thrd, or anyffin of the kind, they have memory span of aquarium fish.

mircea_popescu: not like the logs are going anywhere. by now, there's like one microscopic grouplet like that per quarter, if not month. hundreds.

asciilifeform: i expect there's a ~bottomless supply of those, if (who? for what?) ever needed 1.

mircea_popescu: waiting patiently in buzzing silence for the divine eye to finally recognze in them the princes[es] they always suspected they were.

asciilifeform: i had occasion to set 1 up recently, and it had maybe 400 by nightfall, and whoknows maybe they also 'wait for divine eye to finally recognize' etc.

mircea_popescu: you know, that's an interesting application for cheap electronics : include counter.

asciilifeform: would be interesting to count the ants ~leaving~ ( the better traps, are mixed in such a way that some small % can get loose, and bring back friends )

asciilifeform: the 'linux'-flavoured derp traps do seem to have common thread where 'maybe divine eye finally opens' re irons. 'maybe this year china gives us on what to run' etc

asciilifeform: somehow the point is lost on'em, that if for erry 1 $ they spent on 'raspberry' they kept a dime, they could buy half of tmsc co

mircea_popescu: "but what is the point of a national literature ?! for one thing, then you have to read it!"

asciilifeform: i suppose this is unsurprising, the ants also do not , luckily for asciilifeform , know that they collectively exceed him in mass, and could eat him if could all agree

asciilifeform: on reflection, there aint much that is mysterious re the opentards' collective failure to bake irons. ( irons require some sorta head, and cannot be baked via 'million fly eyes' process )

mircea_popescu: it is roughly speaking impossible for things to be done by people who don't particularly want to do anything.

mircea_popescu: there's also not that many pregnancies occuring on deserted islands. similar reasons.

asciilifeform: they're able to maintain a kind of optical illusion of activity, but only in re softs

mircea_popescu: and only for as long as the "illusion" consits of self-published chatlogs and other such typographics, and nobody asks any pointed questions.

asciilifeform began to see mircea_popescu's point re 'linus set back field by two decades' . the finn's gift to the 'self-published chats' fly eyes folx is moar or less errything they have to work with in re convincing selves that 'yes we do things'

asciilifeform: it's rather like if some scrap dealer took pity on the cargo island folx and gave'em an old boeing carcass.

mircea_popescu: there's a fundamental problem with going into business when you don't mean business : you end up like linus.

whaack: as I mentioned in the logs a while back http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-07#1666967 i wound up moving to Costa Rica for quite a while with the plan to fix my ESLness and get out of the US. I was in Tamarindo for about a year and a half, and during that time I fell into the hedonistic lifestyle of a surf bum ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2017-06-07 22:09 whaack: I'm leaving the US and going to Costa Rica in about a month. In the off chance anyone wants to make some btc by renting out a place there send a msg to my key. Any advice is appreciated as well

whaack: Now i'm back in NYC, which is hell relative to where I was a year ago, but on the bright side I'm actually putting more effort into Spanish here and have found time to read more and have started working through SICP http://ztkfg.com/

whaack: I picked Tamarindo mostly because of the convenience of it being near Liberia and having what I initially wanted: a decent nightlife, surf spots, gringo friendly atmosphere ☟︎

mircea_popescu: well, if it supported you for a year and a half could've been that terrible huh!

mircea_popescu: well, if he doesnt speak spanish, he's conceivably dependent on english-language literature, which is very derpy and tends to present "dangers" and other be carefuls.

whaack: gringo friendly atmosphere means ticos who know english and are constantly trying to ease your stay by parting you with your cash, more or less

mircea_popescu: but more's the point : and your hedonism actually kept you away from internets for the interval ?!

mircea_popescu: we could've visited the http://trilema.com/2017/friday-night-or-las-moiras-revisited/ together or some shit. i mean, i guess yes there was that one line in the log, but for reasons i now don't recall didn't make any impression at the time. nor is a single solitary throwaway line like that gonna make that much impression -- you wanna get anywhere you gotta mocky it!

whaack: whaack, picked up a girlfriend or two at the least ? << Of course! The tourism of Tamarindo includes a steady stream of European girls that come to learn Spanish for a few months.

whaack: but more's the point : and your hedonism actually kept you away from internets for the interval ?! << it certainly reduced it drastically. but i've been around, reading the logs etc. I would of course love to have done that, but I also feel a duty to keep the SNR down in this channel as i fix a lot of my shortcomings.

mircea_popescu: lmao. you're supposed to pick upo the local dwarves, how the ruck else are you going to learn spanish

mircea_popescu: he went to tamarindo, picked up a buncha german gals for 18 months, inexplicably his spanish has not improved !!!

BingoBoingo has seens some gringos here fall into similar traps passing through, but not many other year+ gingos in the city.

whaack: yup, all casados. but i can't say that that was a problem as i do like casados. it was just an added effort to be with ticas over the germans that i did not make, and my Spanish paid for it

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, fwis, vz emmigration mostly the same young and distrophic male the arabs export also.

mircea_popescu: whaack, you know, for the record, "here's this vz chick i picked up" does not count as noise on this channel.

deedbot: lobbes_field voiced for 30 minutes.

lobbes_field: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-02#1910762 << verily, it is much needed at this point for various applications. Seems like there are several in L1 who probably are much closer to genesis-ing such a kit (phf, ben_vulpes, spyked, prolly a few others), though as it stands now there are still no vpatches. I figure I'll get the ball rolling and if any of the mentioned to 'beat-me-to-the-punch' here (and I welcome this) the worst outc ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2019-05-02 15:23 asciilifeform: none of these currently on front burner, but will be 9000x easier to revive if meanwhile lobbes et al produce an edible cl 'wwwism kit'

mircea_popescu: heck, most things that consist of someone doing something don't. it's like old style dad wallet pics of the kid : "here's my kid doing this, here's my kid doign that..."

mircea_popescu: lobbes_field, what's the idea here anyway, like a sort of "script html in cl" ?

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Is suspect the number of Venezolanas vs venezolanos I've met here may be a function of distance. The ones here got out on their own or got out with family money.

lobbes_field: mircea_popescu pretty much, would need something that can take loglines from the logbot's log table and produce html

asciilifeform: lobbes_field: i've previously used 'cl-who', but it needs to get eaten/genesised/frozen ☟︎

lobbes_field: On dumbphone atm, heres rest of line "the worst outcome for me personally would be I learn more cl (i.e. not a bad thing at all). And we get some republican items made in either case."

lobbes_field: asciilifeform I did see that in my research. Glad to know you've used in the past with satisfactory results

lobbes_field: To continue my earlier cut-line: I think in the past I've been too sensitive regarding avoidance of 'duplicitive efforts', but the mircea_popescu quote of "all time is burned time" has been burning in my head.

lobbes_field: I.e. If, say, spyked writes a better cl-www-tron I'd still want to be able to fit the thing in my head. So any work I do toward 'building my own' will only aid me in that task (hence relatedly, I suppose, why 'build yer own v-tron' is a commonly recommended exercise).

lobbes_field: Bit as a practical start, I may just sit down and read some of the existing items out there (cl-who) and then eventually freeze/gebesis

lobbes_field: mircea_popescu: re: specced in lisp, indeed, with the exception of my python command router / auctionbot, the rest of the ircbot/logbot v-tree is lisp. I know python ain't long for the world so I figure it is time I lose those training wheels
