mp_en_viaje: too heavyhanded, man, reads more like a preacher tract. gotta give the characters life of their own, not life of the story.
mp_en_viaje: aite, wanna move on to the smg discussion ?
diana_coman: mp_en_viaje: sure, just not fully clear on what there; but I'm all ears
mp_en_viaje: do you remember that instance i actually forbade your talking to alf ?
mp_en_viaje: do you recall that time he managed to sabotage phd's attempted pizarro carrier run ?
diana_coman: the debacle with iron specs? as cited in the time-mgm piece I wrote iirc?
mp_en_viaje: yeah, basically he kept dithering in typical fashion, "being conservative" or whatever, being a moron, and the guy simply couldn't get the geat before flight time
a111: Logged on 2018-02-06 02:11 mircea_popescu: and as an added bonus, you now get to go about looking for lords willing to bring your ideas about republican iron to the table, because i'm not further looking for your input on the topic just as i'm not further looking for your input on eucrypt topic.
mp_en_viaje: then ben_vulpes stepped in, and most of what he heard, for years thence, was "oh, you were so underslept you forgot one bag" ; never "i was such a moron, you had to fly on short notice, i guess ~I~ forgot your bag"

diana_coman: at the point with ben_vulpes I admit I couldn't figure out who was really messing up more there, honestly.
mp_en_viaje: me either ; but that's moot now isn't it -- bv found his way back into the everyday.
mp_en_viaje: we'll leave the matter of ~why~ "couldn't figure out" for the 3rd discussion, in group ; as we'll leave the assorted bits and ends, how other than whatever the idiot is doing to sabotage himself, with his "circumspect" "conservative" approach every time he should press an advantage, wasting the time so when shit hits the fan, as shit always hits the fan, he can just be sad instead of ciercumspect, and oh, if only the world were
mp_en_viaje: perfectly liniar he could take forever to not do something
mp_en_viaje: there's two major points where his idiocy conceivably sabotaged us. of this, the part where we're certainly not getting people in at the rate he sends them out is not of interest to smg.
mp_en_viaje: but the part where in order to do thing x, you first have to do step 1, and in order to do step 1 you first have to do steps 1.1 and 1.2 ; and in order to do step 1.1 you first have to do steps 1.1.1, 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 staqu-quo protection very much IS.
mp_en_viaje: now, as we stand, he might've infected us with enough stupid to simply die, specifically in the form of such teoria chibritului hardware and software stacks.
mp_en_viaje: s.mg stands currently on a lengthy tree of ideological. "we don't use python", "c this" etcetera.
diana_coman: well, there IS on one hand the FFA gem that has however come after the initial projection that he'll do consulting for smg and so I'll have what to use rather than write eucrypt with the salvaged-mpi (though he salvaged that at least)
mp_en_viaje: my first attempt at cutting the gordian knot, on the assumption it's all rot,
failed, on the merits.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-11 11:21:04 mp_en_viaje: because he has sexier things to do than what you need ; and, importantly, because this is WHY he wanted to be a "craftsman" in the first place, and why attempted to scam you into buying custom, rather than standard items : so as to fuck you over by doing "sexier things", because in his broken mind the very thing that impels the "craftsman" misbehaviour also looks at your damage as implicit justification -- in that
mp_en_viaje: but we absolutely must look at the whole stack, with a clear eye, and clean it of alf idiocy. i don't even care if some useful bits get thrown out in the process so much
diana_coman: mp_en_viaje: over the past few months I had *loads* of precisely thinking re survival given as the whole client+ graphics+EVERYTHING kept growing as work for me to do rather than ever receding so I can get to developing the actual game on server.
mp_en_viaje: i want to make sure i've done all i can so i don't end up in the same circle of hell as he, and the rest of them "engineering" retards, from
chuck dicksuck to all the rest.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-09-09 05:40:35 mircea_popescu: all sorta chuck moores, "famous" and apparently ever so good and useful, just WAITING for you to give them a chance to strangle you.
mp_en_viaje: they're self-evidently all the same "person", if you can call it that. basically, i'm dealing with the same spam script run wild that's ruined western natural sciences.
mp_en_viaje: alright, so then this is the basis. wut do ?
diana_coman: mp_en_viaje: in hardware terms, the recent tests re deploying server showed at least that we are not married to any specific arch so I'd say that part should not be a problem
diana_coman: ie I installed it on different amd + 1 intel, fine.
mp_en_viaje: unless, of course, in the fractally moronic manner in which he's inhabituated us to expect things to "work", there's a barb in there somewhere.
hanbot_abroad wonders how anyone would propose to get the salt back out of the bread they've baked.
mp_en_viaje: hanbot_abroad, throwing out the bread works if that's what happened.
hanbot_abroad: i thought what's here is basically a line drawn in the sand, 'will stand no further than this'.
hanbot_abroad: it was withstood, consciously, as long as it was, for good reason that remains good reason, no?
diana_coman: mp_en_viaje: do you want me to look at alternatives there? at the very least to see what/how/any?
mp_en_viaje: hanbot_abroad, no. let me explain this clearly :
mp_en_viaje: hanbot_abroad, to use the geometric terminology you introduced : alf never in his life walked a line. what he does is, he spins a circle.
mp_en_viaje: at any given point, if ~you~ draw a line, he'll translate over the place, such that your line is a tangent. and you think, naively, "oh, this man's line and my line are clearly, look, colinear"
diana_coman sadly recognizes that line+circle from bitter experience (and not even just asciilifeform ).
mp_en_viaje: then he starts moving down his circle. and you notice there's a difference ; if you attempt to discuss it, he'll make the cost of measuring the infinitesimal difference (which nevertheless keeps growing, and at an ever faster pace) infinitely large
mp_en_viaje: then, at some point, his circular motion actually takes him to diametrically opposed pole to the original tangent point
mp_en_viaje: at which juncture you might even point the situation out : look, you moron, you are DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED, what the fuck bs you're talking.
mp_en_viaje: but, see, it's a circle. past the perihelion he's coming back, so it'll ~seem~ like that "woke him up"
mp_en_viaje: he's now moving towards you, and at an increasingly faster rate
mp_en_viaje: except, of course, once he reaches midway. then he starts decelerating ; and he decelerates even faster.
mp_en_viaje: and if you've got the time, and the money, "1-1.5 bitcoin (today, of course ; the fuckface doesn't happen to think he DID NOT say 1-1.5 bitcoin back when he took the quote from) he'll take you for another spin.
mp_en_viaje: i don't think it's intentional, in the sense that i don't think alf has the capacity for intentional activity. he's an object, like any chair, or compass, or whatever.
mp_en_viaje: so no, there wasn't any line drawn in the sand on the basis of trying to quadrate the circle and throwing tangents at a dangerous idiot.
mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, i do not know what i want you to do, hence this convo.
diana_coman: mp_en_viaje: I suppose there is also the same question applied potentially to the FG and FFA then; but fwiw I digested FFA as well as I could and I still think it is a gem, perhaps a pearl better put: quite the result of successive spinnings/polishings
mp_en_viaje: i am not for a second saying there's nothing good or useful i nthere.
mp_en_viaje: i am saying, qutie plainly, that the man's allegiance is to
the inca state, through the intermediate avenue of staqu quo preservation. again, not intentionally, but intention dun enter into any of it.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-17 13:38:31 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: exactly like the chinese cultural rev. (which shut off like a lamp when mao flicked switch) this one is a 'controlled burn'.
mp_en_viaje: the objection, in short, is not that the worm's not delicious, but that the worm's just bait.
mp_en_viaje: i intend to cut as much as possible fo worm off the hook, and i'm rather willing to take zero than any hook.
mp_en_viaje: yes, it's nice to have the fg ; but not at the cost of being stuck waiting for an isp that elaborately ain't happening. and so following.
mp_en_viaje: i don't want to pay the thick end to get the thin end, ever.
diana_coman: poisoned offerings, if I understand you correctly.
mp_en_viaje: quite fucking poisoned. look how far they took us!
mp_en_viaje: anyways ; i suspect now you're adequately impregnated with my wrath, i guess give it a day or two see what the night mind dredges up ?
diana_coman: mp_en_viaje: I'm surprisingly calm and collected but I'm weighing all sorts; and yes, I would rather give it a few days.
mp_en_viaje: one hour board meeting, THIS is how they go.
hanbot_abroad: mp_en_viaje: i would expect interaction with the republic at all and certainly immersion in l1/frequent discussions with you would cause a great deal of reflection on and revision of held beliefs/paradigms, and sure, even frequently, or many times over. it's a shame that there even exists a specific pattern that'd make this rot, rather than revision. but i guess same can be said about any decay process.
hanbot_abroad: does it similarly need going over with dental picks for potential extractions?
mp_en_viaje: hanbot_abroad, i'm actually paying to have the logger fixed, get the ass-sucking dependency he baked in there as an idiot taken out.
mp_en_viaje: cuntoo iirc was trinque's work ; not so sure how it stands these days, there was some drama that didn't resolve any.
diana_coman: cuntoo is currently the genesis + roadmap really but at any rate, trinque's indeed.
hanbot_abroad realizes she confused a hand-out asciilifeform kernel config for direct involvement
hanbot_abroad: anyway. ima stare sadly into the gloomy hungarian day awhile.

mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, looky, i get it, it's unpleasant to wake up in the morning and read today's log. it can't be helped ; moreover, you built it, systematically an' carefully, by your very own self, an' against the opinion, advice an' as close to knock upside your dumb head as anyone managed. what can you ask of people, that they fly over and literally beat you into sense ?
mp_en_viaje: it's what it is ; you don't like it, you shouldn't have made it.
mp_en_viaje: otherwise, since ~literally~ 100% of the crap on the "free" and "open" anglo internet is ~LITERAL~ fucking restatement of the ~~~EXACT FUCKING SAME~~~ five line passage from
harvard's 1999 offering of doubleplusgood truth&realities (if you don't count a very carefully expurgated version on "marxists.org" -- lulzily, "dog" appears exactly once ; "vulture" not at
mp_en_viaje: all), i'll forego quoting anything ; but cliffnotes instead of likbez, comrade Vyshinsky was a very peculiar sort of MC.
mp_en_viaje: entirely nothing in common with any sort of european understanding of law or legal proceeding ; he was rather the guy on the porn set going "fuck that whore"/"whop that twist" whatever, or else the dude at the frat party chanting "drink! drink!", or if you prefer the boomboxing dude behind the rappers or what have you. he was the bumstcz dude, what, like at a yupik manhut party exactly.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-10-30 14:23:32 mp_en_viaje: it's what it is ; you don't like it, you shouldn't have made it.
mp_en_viaje: meanwhile in more practical considerations, today's log went from 2k words before you woke up to 4k words currently, while the snr went from 90% to 50% or so. it's not even simply the instant fact that none of your lines contribute on the desirable side -- it's that the whole show's a fucking re-run!
mp_en_viaje: i sit here watching the redancing of a dance you danced coupla years ago, knowing full well you'll come full circle from this, as from all other positions. it's...
diana_coman: asciilifeform: if you are aiming that at me, then have the decency to say it to my face and with name, will you?
diana_coman: asciilifeform: no, there is no such thing as aimed at a level; name people if you are aiming at anyone or otherwise don't just throw words about.
diana_coman: asciilifeform: you did not hypnotize me into anything.
diana_coman: asciilifeform: that's none of your concern.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-10-30 10:49:58 hanbot_abroad: does it similarly need going over with dental picks for potential extractions?

diana_coman: I am fine to answer for my own sig on what I signed.
trinque: asciilifeform: this daddy hurt me routine is embarrassing, man.
diana_coman: asciilifeform: so I gather you are dissapointed there isn't one; fine.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-10-21 10:15:42 mp_en_viaje: the second, which is the hanging matter, is that i meanwhile specced a new functioning of ratings and voicing, the to-spec execution of which being the very bedrock upon which deedbot payments even work. come april or whatever, i'm not about to do the old style lordship ratings,
trinque: it is this, where you respond to what you wish, instead of what someone else has said, you realize?
trinque: if I don't get it done, it'll have been me, and not daddy having been mean... whereas.
trinque: the sad thing in your case is that you're so intelligent of a particular kind, you think it excuses you to be undeveloped in all other areas.
trinque: rather, these things aren't even thought; they're felt and then angrily and fearfully defended.
trinque: if you had so much contempt for us all, that without you we're nothing, why take so long to say so?
trinque: friend says "shower" and you say "take me, stink and all, or bullet!"
mp_en_viaje: bimbo (who watched
walk of shame with us yesterday, and was very miffed at the whole premise -- "that dumb bitch, they even speak her language!" ; as one who has spent days exactly in the manner there depicted but in rando orclands, she's quite entitled to the pov) : "so... umm... i published an article... it's not very good..."

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: You have the link to the full tarball from yesterday if anything important seems to be missing.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Alright, I'll open up the S.MG boxes while I'm at it.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I removed those during the count as trinque has made it clear that he has little interest in the future of that chassis. I am also now going to have to put statement and not archaeology on the to do list to sort out wtf is going on with that, because it does affect the meaning of the count.
BingoBoingo: There is an exact count. The problem now is resolving title on members of the counted set.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I understand your desire to construct a defense, but look. I just took apart and reassembled a hand stack of machines to get two photos at your request. You introduced a potential competing claim to title on some of the FUCKGOATS, which I will investigate as I must. However the count and all the photos in the world don't mean shit if you sign off on a S.NSA closing inventory that includes items other folks hold the title
mp_en_viaje: wouldja put all the rest of this in #asciilifeform, where it properly belongs ?
mp_en_viaje: i dunno why all this herpy-derp anyways, wasn't s.nsa interest in pizarro a btc or thereabouts ? what's all the hw wank ?

BingoBoingo: They've got plenty of cellulose, now beating beef as an export in real value terms. Difficult to be certain the the extent a "planta de explosivos" is actually a factory.
BingoBoingo: There is a faint, cottage scale, remnant of a domestic arms industry.
mp_en_viaje: otoh guncotton (aka nitrocellulose) trivial enough to make, even 13yo me made some.
mp_en_viaje: in there with filament lightbulbs and such, africa-level techs.
BingoBoingo: Right, I am uncertain the extent to which things here do as claimed. "Planta de explosives" could be the exact equivalent of a western farm kid's back shed except with uniforms and such.
BingoBoingo: Kinda like how here the local police seccional is where old men hang out while younger men in uniforms take reports to enter into the official record as a sorta notary.
mp_en_viaje: police work these days is pretty much the lulz of all time.
BingoBoingo: I mean here they'll put a tiny girl and a derpy, funny guy walking a beat. Then they'll have the guy built for a fight doing his best to hunt and pick type reports, straining all the while.
BingoBoingo: And folks wonder why the people working the cash trucks here went from revolvers and shotguns when I arrived to having a fellow this week with a .30 caliber, AR-10 type rifle.
mp_en_viaje: derpy guy & girl did better on paper at walking beats, so...
BingoBoingo: On further reading it turns out that plant apparently produces explosives for the slowly growing mining sector
