trinque: asciilifeform: yep, I'm going to do something about this right away.
trinque: looks like paster is currently up.
trinque: looks like deedbot's staying attached so far too
trinque: in all honesty I think I misunderstood IRC, pinging from client was implemented, responding to pings entirely not.
trinque: probably the situation was that most times server doesn't ping if client has already.
trinque: then there's some threadism weird that I solved by lopping off, where an exception wasn't handled properly and the thread died, rest remained.
trinque: I was by no means a lisp expert when I wrote the item, so in re: languages thread, I don't think it should reflect on CL
trinque: not even properly CL oopized. java-headed oop
trinque: but you know, learning is a thing. at any rate, I'm probably going to muntz a tad further and vpatch this weekend.
trinque: various nonthreadly parts of deedbot's stack are still bulletproof, and have been for years
trinque: (the various problems with it have been related to replication between pg instances, and not CL)
trinque: in other CLisms, esthlos' vtron works great. it's a shame he left.

get a php version of the reader.py written for purposes of comparison.

snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-06 04:29:58 spyked: hat's the usefulness in the end if I'm not gonna do anything productive with it?
trinque: on the subj of CL webtrons, the approach I've used is to have the CL proggie write static html (from another place, even) to a toilet static www server.
trinque: on wot.deedbot.org I don't. it's a cut-of-the-knot approach
trinque: the IRC-for-input and www-for-output split was contemplated in an old thread. I still like it
trinque: my !!key method works precisely this way, actually
trinque: if running out of disk accumulating text is a concern, could keep last n
trinque: if no-js is a rip along one perforation, no dynamic html is another
trinque: sure, I'm not trying to take it away
trinque: iirc at one point also a block explorer was contemplated that'd shit static html
trinque: plenty of apps needn't more
trinque: heh, does this become an even better case for apache+php. "you only need it for search/comments/etc"

trinque: being simplistic; there's plenty of hybrid to be had
trinque: seems like the arms with least resistance to being torn off usefully are the ones with shortest dependency chain.
trinque: I'm not arguing for php, feeling around for method
trinque: it's forth for all we know right now
trinque: the existence of mod_php isn't much of an argument either. there's mod_everything
trinque: what's next there? how far is it from being bolted to a network socket of some kind?
trinque: not asking "why haven't you given me x", just wondering.

trinque: i.e. inside I have w/e, naked women, dancing bears, there's a membrane at the edge of my lair run by the ??? in question
trinque: so if you'll permit a dunce, imagine a device with a trusted and untrusted interface.
trinque: untrusted interface is w/e nic, running mystery meat, who cares
trinque: middle is your encrypter/decrypter.
trinque: trusted interface shits decrypted material, descripters of who said, and what was said. eats outbound material.
trinque: this cuts the world enough to be useful, unless I'm stupid
trinque: that thing has a market. everyone knows tls is a lie.
trinque: I wouldn't propose building the thing without first identifying the market.
trinque: the republic can't live correctly and expect folks to line up. the world's too far gone. money has to whip around in republic-shaped loops long enough to retrain enough human heads.
trinque: I have been enamored of this idea since the first mircea_popescu and asciilifeform threads on same.
trinque: the slow prototype'd still be useful as that, no?
trinque: if there is any other mundanity in the way feel free to throw it at me.
trinque: call that a positive, less risk of prototype standing up and running away from your desk
trinque: maybe at that point a couple of us can muster a couple 100k to see it baked
trinque: I'd just want to know who we're selling to. ourselves isn't enough

trinque: god, unrelatedly, it suddenly becomes clear that when I moved deedbot to singapore, I increased his ping.
trinque: to freenode, I'd be willing to wager
trinque: and I was using chat.freenode.net, and lo, the bot was better connected in certain sessions than others.
trinque: so then, lets say freenode pings you if you haven't pinged in last x, and x happened to resemble my ping interval closely.
trinque: "have you tried installing it with up facing up?"

mircea_popescu: work conditions (understood as available toolset, and available paradigm, driving respectively a physical (ie, time-cost, perceived as pain) and mental (also perceived as pain) cost sum to a scalar describing the "painfulness" of the workplace.
mircea_popescu: call that P. meanwhile output, or productivity, is expressed as a different scalar, call it W.
mircea_popescu: the theory says, that for any context there exists in all cases a P-threshold epsilon, such that if P>e W=0 whereas if P<e, W=q, where q is a quantified amount of productivity (because yes, W is quantified, like low-scale energies).
mircea_popescu: that is part one. part two, is that for further reductions of P, W scales superlinearily. in my practice to date, P=e/2 drives W = q^5 approx, like air fucking friction.
mircea_popescu: this theory, for isntance, explains why there's no college outside of say that-one-place-in-mass, or that-one-place between frisco and san jose : the P in, say, chicago is >e.
snsabot: Logged on 2016-11-07 11:53:31 mircea_popescu: recall the "where are the rembrandts then" argument ? the us fails to produce a philosopher worth the mention every other decade ; athens managed that much on 1/1000th the population.
mircea_popescu: it is, obviously, entirely false to imagine that pP is the only factor in P ; mP probably started overwhelming it in importance with the modern age, driving the important point here : this theory ~can actually be used as a timeline-substitute~, replace time with P-at-that-time.
mircea_popescu: historical phenomenology suddenly starts making a lot more sense -- because yes, history is, was and will forever fucking remain the story of great men ; and what great men do with their lives and consequently the world they own and everyone else just inhabits... well, that's a story of P an
mircea_popescu: there's further implications ; but, to fit the point back to narrow interest : saying
the tools are already there is not even stupid, it's entirely besides the point. the only effectual question is, "has the lowest possible P in theory been actually realised in practice".
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-06 04:34:33 spyked: magemagick (what I believe mp-wp uses currently?) or gimp batch processer; regardless of what is to be used, the tools *are already there*, it's the user's problem how or what he uses. I for one don't wanna use web interface for photo processing, nor did I ever intend to add this to thetarpit, nor would I stop anyone from adding them if they wish
mircea_popescu: this, then, is also why A. the republic is so mingbogglingly successful ; and also B. why so limited in scope.
mircea_popescu: as to A, let it be clearly stated for reviweable record, and let anyone who manages to take his head
out of his own ass verify or challenge this plain statement as best he can :
mircea_popescu: the ~reason~ is that not since the same spot have such Ps been seen.
mircea_popescu: the traditional view, driven by high medieval practice, is to regard work~load~ as the dissuasive factor, some guy who might think himself a shoemaker may re-consider if confronted with a pile of shoe leather waiting to be shoed stretching twelve acres and reaching into the skies.
mircea_popescu: this is ~completely~ spurious. the workload has ~entirely and absolutely nothing~ to do with anything. people ~will~ engage just as gladly in "impossible tasks" as in "easy tasks", the driving consideration is P, not "what quantity of W is '''required''' to '''see results'''" or anything like that.
mircea_popescu: anyway, biosacks only need names if they're about to log here. both hanbot an' nicoleci are on, and so far what you lot wanna use them for is rather punching bags, from experience, so i don't see the urgency in naming anyone else.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-06 15:30:33 bvt: i did not switch to the newer keccak code, as this would not solve underlying issue: vdiff would still crash with large files, just the limit would be 8x larger

mircea_popescu: that wasn't an ~idle~, throwaway comment, btw. "don't let me keep you from your destiny" means exactly what it says : that there's a way we know things do actually work, and then there's a history of the republic to date -- it consists of a lulzy/depressing but in any case unrelenting march of people trying to do anything-but-that, everywhich way and all the time.
mircea_popescu: not intentionally an' not deliberately and not awaredly nor am i out for heads. but the situation is indeed like the case where someone just discovered the impact of filth on medicine, and everyone (by which we mean the top whatever %) understood what the theory is, and for their merits gets now to struggle with

BingoBoingo: Maybe some other label, but not incubator. At least not incubator in a frost free climate
diana_coman: BingoBoingo: lolz; it's the "familiar" word for students though, basically pattern-matches what they expect, to have them cross the threshold (so that in all probability I have to kick 99% out after that, but such is filtering by def)
diana_coman: in any case, my puzzle there is whether it's worth making even such concession at all; I'm normally not inclined and I'd say it's on them if they are dumb enough to not go in because it doesn't say incubator;

mircea_popescu: so they can grumble barely audibly until they built up enough mass to "fight unfairity" or whatever dumb shit ?
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: myeah; I'd rather not do it; my q is whether anyone sees any reason it would be worth it and apparently the answer is no (phew, I'm glad it is no, even)
BingoBoingo: Here Incubator signals roughly the same thing cowork does, but in an older building, and without any ongoing operations anchoring the arrangement
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, his idea might be good, actually. what's the uk requirements for starting a private college ?
diana_coman: to have marked them as pattern matchers, that was the crux of it.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: I'll have to look into it properly and come back

diana_coman:
http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-09-07#1934570 - after a first look, it seems to me that it all depends on the degree to which one cares about "the system"; personally I don't care and don't even want to make the venture "caring" but to know what I'm looking for: are their notions (eg of "degrees") of any interest at all?
ossabot: Logged on 2019-09-07 04:33:10 mircea_popescu: diana_coman, his idea might be good, actually. what's the uk requirements for starting a private college ?
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, my thinking is that if you don't apply for bezzle, then it could perhaps be lightweight, easy to get.
mircea_popescu: the idea is to exploit the socialism poverty hole. all sorta community colleges / 2 year technical colleges in ruralia would take ~anyone, including ~any soccer mom with a degree as a teacher.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: there are 2 aspects: 1. whether you want to apply for bezzle 2. whether you want "recognised status"
mircea_popescu: could just as well make one of those and make it small but excellent. use it to terribly disturb the statu quo, because it obviously goes against everything they've tacitly agreed upon
diana_coman: to cite from gov.uk "if your degree is not from an officially recognised UK university or college, there's no guarantee it'll count when you're looking for a job" ; i.e. whether you are within the system or not, the way I read it.
mircea_popescu: well, if we're not getting that, then we could just make a college by deedbot.
diana_coman: basically: whether one has their stamp; I'd rather NOT have it tbh.
diana_coman: pretty much; the only missing bit is a physical building.
mircea_popescu: the idea is to fuck them up, not to politely ignore them.
mircea_popescu: you ain't getting a physical building without status, though, what sense'd that make ?
diana_coman: I have trouble reasoning in terms of status coming from them, that's where I stumbled
diana_coman: the point is to be able to give degrees they can't ignore/wave away , for stuff which is ours and as such probably mostly at odds with their ideas?
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, the idea is to have the #1 college in the uk for whatever specialty of your choice simultaneously a) 0 tuition ; b) "we don't take your govt scrip here" ie off their bezzle circuit and

mircea_popescu: i expect the uk has bologna mandated standardized testing, yes ?
mircea_popescu: fucking trivial to make a few kids ace those, they're written by bugmen for bugmen.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: the uk has a boatload of various tests and things; not fully aligned (from my current knowledge of the domain, admiteddly limited)
mircea_popescu: still, this is definitely a vulnerable / sore spot in the imperial "clothing for nude emperors" pile.
diana_coman: I'm at least curious about it for sure; and somehow over the years, no matter where and how I turned around, sooner or later (usually sooner) I *still* end up touching on the educational sector, what can I say more.
diana_coman: so I'll look up further and figure it out re recognised status and all that too.

mircea_popescu: basically, we've been diligently building vapors over the years. looking for a spark.
diana_coman: I would surely hope so; though you know, seeing how the bac data stuff went with those concerned focusing on "why are you doing this??" and ~nothing else, I wouldn't even be sure of anything.
mircea_popescu: aaanyways, uk is dissolved almost entirely, yes 1980s thatcher's uk would have fucking imploded if we did something like this ; whereas 2020s may uk... well... just look at the whole eu debacle, they're a joke.
