snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-04 12:26:26 asciilifeform: hm lobbes did i leave out your sig ? i could've sworn there was one. plox to link if so.
lobbes: asciilifeform: did it? I patched it to sit on top of the "line_wraps" patch
lobbes: hmm that was for the "reader.py" though right? My patch contained fix for the "eat_dump.py"
lobbes: fix being phf's uniturd algo
lobbes: there was an extra fix for eat_dump.py in mine as well that dealt with teh null payloadz
lobbes: in any case I'll repatch if needed
lobbes: Of course this is with a near-empty database (not sure how much this matters, tbh). Will be taken offline shortly though for more testing
mircea_popescu: "nobody can remember" wikipedia's roots as ye pre-reddit pedoclub
mircea_popescu: all sorta things "nobody is aware of" in the reich, somehow.
mircea_popescu: should be lulzy once the "rights gain" machine finally excavates these, too
mircea_popescu: back a decade ago /me was wondering outloud on trilema if it's gonna be necros or pedos next
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-05 00:25:59 mircea_popescu: "nobody can remember" wikipedia's roots as ye pre-reddit pedoclub
lobbes: Just reinforces the already short attention span of the consumer, creating a nifty simulacrum of "feeling connected to the world"
lobbes: I genuinely believe that the newer generation sincerely cannot remember, even if they claim to be paying attention
lobbes: it is funny, too, because even in the older days of the webforums "necroposting" was a taboo for some reason
mircea_popescu: lobbes, i never understood that at the time, wtf, rarely new threads as interesting as old. but...
lobbes: ditto. all makes sense nao

snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-04 20:29:15 asciilifeform: for next go-around , perhaps will get sheet metal bending machine and may as well make the 1u cages from sheets also.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-04 20:32:57 asciilifeform: in the early days, iirc mircea_popescu scoffed that 'spending fat dough to fly steel sheets' but they're in fact the magick ingredient that gets the internals through orc customs .

lobbes: looks like the last db dump from logs.nosuchlabs.com was from a few hours before I imported, so missing a few lines still. However the majority of 'em are there
lobbes: once the lastest daily dump is out I will fill in the gaps
lobbes: off to bed, but plox to let me know if any funkiness is observed
lobbes: diana_coman: thank you for the reminder: 208.70.251.10
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, you know, ankle/wrist cuffs by my own designs, posture collars, garter belts...
BingoBoingo: As far as sourcing materials go, this would be the place to plant a workshop.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Remember the couple feria streets that were just piles of leather on top of more leather.
mircea_popescu: i was very unimpressed with the quality of workmanship wheni was in ag.
BingoBoingo: Local workmanship no. Local bulk tanned hides, yes
BingoBoingo: Sold out of backs of horsecarts in Sunday street market like god intended
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, no shortage of fine leather tho. shortage of fine leatherworker
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, problem here is that what i want ~doesn't exist. what you describe works wunderbar if one wants a very common item, yes.
mircea_popescu: honestly, for all the idle
puffery to the contrary, i am coming to discover that i'm in all likelyhood the first to do the shit i do, and possibly only one to have ever attempted, throughout history.
mircea_popescu: so, needless to say, ~0 chances of running into the tools "floating down the river" so to speak
mircea_popescu: i suppose this is also a decent proxy for insanity. (what else is insanity, than consistently dealing with problems nobody else dealt with ?)
mircea_popescu: kinda, my experience of sexuality's a lot like your experience of it.
mircea_popescu: "dude wtf, if you're gonna do this, why the fuck do it so derpily!"
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: you know, this trouble with "what I want doesn't exist" I tend to have for the simplest of items to wear, not even going for leather straps at all, lol.
diana_coman: and I wouldn't count it as "nobody did this before" either, I think I still have some patterns in grandmother's attic ffw
mircea_popescu: that;s the infuriating part, "man, this shit's so obvious!"
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: do you remember by any chance *where* did you say explicitly that one's less by precisely their investment/time outside the republic?
diana_coman: I know for sure you did, just need to... find it.
diana_coman: myeah, I had been searching for a while before asking; I'll have to do with my own asking for the thing I can't yet find, won't I.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, part of the problem is that i think we index things very differently ; your words don't trigger my memory. do you remember any actual words that were definitely in there ?
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: I thought "less of a man" was in there but I can't say I'm 100% sure
diana_coman: I also think it might have been in reply to one of asciilifeform's threads re how he can't escape (hence possibly why it rings a bell with him?) but again, if I knew exactly, I'd have found it by now.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: possibly I'll find it later as inner-indexing tends to keep working in the background after one of those anyway and pops up with the result some days from now or such shit.

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Redwing 606 is probably as close as your local market has.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-05 12:25:58 asciilifeform: ( to take trivial example : at one time i designed a 'fg 2' that uses scintillator crystal . background radiation is moar than enuff to make this go. however also need a reverse-biased large surface diode for detecting pulses. these need a clean (i.e. not from oscillating converter) ~60 volt. then thought : 'this is simple, all would need is 20 x 3v photocells in series, in epoxy. surely someone sells this !! gu
snsabot: Logged on 2019-03-19 18:52:57 mod6: Because like we discussed before, some paraphrasing "man puts in 20% of time is 20% of a man".
snsabot: Logged on 2018-11-10 19:40:02 mircea_popescu: so to summarize : 1. one hour (!?) wrangling with auctionbot on the 4th (the result still wrong) ; 2. 2 hours handling three conflated processes (why do you keep notes as an intermediate step ?) on the 5th ; 3. 1 hour reading logs on the 6th ; 4. half hour reading logs on the 7th ; 5. 1.3 h mostly brainstorming on the 8th ? ; 6. half hour doing... i don't know what on the 9th ; 7. 4 (four ?!) hours doing i stil
diana_coman: basically my "less of a man" was more precisely "20% of a man", ahem.
diana_coman: but hm, I still think mod6's line actually paraphrased a different discussion and I quite distinctly remember it said by mircea_popescu ; if my memory of it is any good, ofc.
a111: Logged on 2019-03-04 21:14 mircea_popescu: empire does not in any factual sense exist. man who works 70% of the time for idiots is === the remaining 30% of that man.

diana_coman: bvt: yes! that one indeed; and look at that, it *was* in one of asciilifeform's threads indeed.
diana_coman: I see also more clearly my usual trouble finding sources: the original exact bit is deep in the roots while the part easily found is the tip of the tree grown from those roots, huh.
diana_coman: !!v B54F424D889826858C750E85977ABC64B6EA6BBBC8EF678E174602F8295C82CB
deedbot: diana_coman updated rating of bvt from 1 to 2 << knows where things are in the logs! + useful work towards a republican kernel; writes at
http://bvt-trace.net bvt: i kind of remembered that it had something with to do with percentages, this surfaced out mod6's message; when you mentioned that the result is still ~wrong, remembered that it had something to do with "man who invests X% of time into empire...", used phf's log for a keyword search.
bvt: asciilifeform's searcher matches 'many' when looking for 'man', produces too many results to filter through all of them (thought the line was there too)
diana_coman: bvt: you need to search for "man" so it doesn't return "many" if you want exact match
diana_coman: ah, you are right; that sort of thing is still on to-do list, yes.
mircea_popescu: spyked, "the painstaking labour involved in moving every post to MP-WP (plus fixing the links) would take a yet-to-be-determined amount of time" << why is this to be a pain ?
mircea_popescu: consider the other side : you add comments ; but then trackbacks ?
mircea_popescu: in any case, it is outright impossible to answer your "wat do" question as stated ; because it's in fact multiple questions.
mircea_popescu: 1. re blog, i do not currently believe it makes any sense to have blogs in anything but php ; 1.a with the exception that trying out things (as opposed to, production) is trying out things, and people can try out whatever ~they feel like~ (while they're stuck producing what works).
mircea_popescu: 2. re lisp, i do believe finishing the hutch story is very useful.
mircea_popescu: but imo it's folly to try and marry 1 to 2 because of what's, ultimately, merely a name coincidence.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-05 17:33:34 diana_coman: ah, you are right; that sort of thing is still on to-do list, yes.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, all but for comments which, once done, will expose all but for trackbacks and all but for antisspam
mircea_popescu: and then all but for image autoresizing and then all but for x y z
mircea_popescu: trilema has rhe advantage of size, dun particularly want to put anything else on box, so dun so muich care
mircea_popescu: what people don't realise is just HOW unlinear the returns are.
BingoBoingo: I kinda worry about the process fascism which has asciilifeform's 2018 Uruguay journey still largely un photoblogged
mircea_popescu: the naive view is to think that making the cost 10% less will result in... what, 10% more output ? if it takes me 9 seconds of unpleasant laboru instead of 10, i'll just do 11 images instead of 10.
mircea_popescu: this is exactly false : what actually happens is that if the labour's over threshold the output is 0, and if it's under the output is x. like a transistor exactly
mircea_popescu: AND THEN!!! the marginal increase is exactly like in exam lists. anyone saw ever one of those, 100 people per place sovok things ? 10.0 9.99 9.99 9.99 9.98
mircea_popescu: EXACTLY the same thing. "what's an extra point ?" "dude are you kidding me, it's the difference between leningrad and urals"
