BingoBoingo: It's maybe a large diner
BingoBoingo: Or small diner if freestanding and not a trailer
mircea_popescu: not even large. for the same reason a bike's not a bus, nor a fiddler an orchestra. a restaurant means, without exception, a chef, a sauce and a pasta sous, and at the very least 4 apprentice hands. that's 7 people in the kitchen doing the artwork. this is not counting the 3+ busboys, the 6 waiters and the maitre d'hotel in the salon, nor is it counting the people washing dishes, wiping the floors etc.
mircea_popescu: YOU CAN NOT HAVE A RESTAURANT WITH FEWER SEATS THAN STAFF!
mircea_popescu: not because it's inconceivable the shah of iran would pay enough to keep it in business. but because its minuscule size stupidifies it through "reflection off the boundries" effects.
BingoBoingo: No a diner isn't a restaurant. It's one of those trailer things with one stove that barely works
BingoBoingo: But 39 seats seems the right size for that

mircea_popescu: on one hand, the "dominion" approach to thinking isn't particularly useful here, because all it does is provide the limiting (the disadvantageous) part of setting boundries, without delivering any kind of protective (ie, advantageous) offset. Specifically how boundries work is, suppose you have two kids, Amy aged 7 and Adam aged 6. If you set a boundry such as "Adam, never hit Amy!" you are in fact limiting Adam's natu
mircea_popescu: ral agressivity, which will make him less of an Adam, but in exchange you're protecting Amy's identity, which will make her more of an Amy. The argument as to whether this is a good idea or a bad idea hinges on how you value the part of Adam that's lost and the part of Amy that's saved - because yes, wherever spheres touch something's gonna get flattened, that's unavoidable - but in any case an argument can always be b
mircea_popescu: rought and disposed of (either accepting it or rejecting it) because both sides are present. Conversely, if you set a boundry for Amy in the terms of "don't try and think honey, that's for men, just sit there and be pretty" she might listen, especially at 7, but you've set a boundry for her that has no upside. "Men" doesn't even exist per se. So this isn't an argument that can be considered, it only has one side to it.
mircea_popescu: To apply this to b-a affairs : it's not particularly useful to go "I'm not going to X because that's Y's dominion". For one thing, it's not terribly clear if this is even true (people are notoriously poor at communicating things this subtle, and consequently your love for Amy's not Amy's idea of your love for her, not ever, until the day you die). It is perfectly valid to go "i won't be telling X how to Y because Ying
mircea_popescu: is X's thing", or in the more general "I'm not about to go into should mode - that's how you get hanged", but that's not so related.
mircea_popescu: It's also perfectly valid to go "I'm not about to Y, seems X's going to do it and they're probably better than me / I don't want to duplicate the effort". Note however that this is an extremely tenuous argument : if it's true he's better than you then you probably should duplicate the effort - that's exactly the only avenue to learning, duplicating the effort of your betters. If it's the case you're better than him, od
mircea_popescu: ds are you'll end up having to do it later anyway, and once you know this it's always better to do it at a time of choice than at a time of need. Obviously this leaves wide open the "well I just don't care so much about Ying", which is fine, with the caveat that as the reunion of Ys starts approaching the universe, you're getting closer and closer to the nagant ending.
mircea_popescu: on the OTHER hand however, you have to understand biology works on drivers, and b-a is very much a natural system, so biology applies. the whole shebang is driven by need, if you go "I NEED X and Y and Z to be able to do K!" you may or may not get X, Y or Z, or maybe a response as to the usefullness of K, but in any case the b-a itself gains. If you recall a primary driver for historical activity was alf going "I want
mircea_popescu: X so I can Y", for x=printable bitcoin and y=read in bed. He's not gotten it, at least not yet, but you can't say anyone's been the worse for the experience.
mircea_popescu: Thinking in those terms, "Hey, TRB actually running on BSD as opposded to PRB sounds to me like it'd be huge, it must be made a point of public communication, I need datas to support me in discussing this with people, plox to help me here!" is a helluva lot more productive than "this is X's dominion". At the worst this will clarify that "nah, not really", at the best it'll help a lot of idiots understand why it nobody

mircea_popescu: how's that metaphor work asciilifeform ?
asciilifeform: the man has problems reeling his monster ego even partly onto a spool
mircea_popescu: hahahaha
asciilifeform: even if he stuck to describing own victories, he'd be readable. but i don't need 40 pages about how well-pedigreed his lebanese family tree
mircea_popescu: and this doesn't bother you on his www ? or, for that matter, my www ?!
mircea_popescu: i got more ego than taleb damnit.
asciilifeform: aha but mircea_popescu has a cable spool for the cock
asciilifeform: reels it out as necessary
mircea_popescu always thought that nonsense was between patently insane and alienly endearing.
mircea_popescu: seriously, you're a proud scion of a mightly lebanese line of kings and aviators ?
asciilifeform: 'whatcha doing in the bowels of the reich then'
mircea_popescu: not just that, but... lebanese ? seriously ?
mircea_popescu: i suppose what saves it for my benefit is that romanian-ness has a humongous tradition in playing this for laughs
mircea_popescu: so it registers in my head as a merely not very good attempt at that.
asciilifeform: taleb makes wolfram look sane
asciilifeform: at least herr w. merely brags about ~own~ imaginary triumphs
mircea_popescu: that's what i;m saying. somewhere between patently insane and alienly endearing. "he can'rt be fucking serious".
asciilifeform: also i am grossly underequipped to even venture to guess to what extent t. is a meatspace success
mircea_popescu: he's done okay.
mircea_popescu: or what, you mean with the ladies ?
asciilifeform: nah commercial
asciilifeform: specifically, how far did his theories take him
mircea_popescu: his theories took him no far, seeing how he created theories after going places./
asciilifeform: (and if not, why not. as a deservedly obscure crackpot i give a fuck, perhaps nobody else does)
asciilifeform: generally i find 'this is why i won' literature insufferably boring.
asciilifeform: ever try reading, e.g., edison ?
asciilifeform: or worse yet, bill gates.
mircea_popescu: edison was a total nitwit tho.
mircea_popescu: bill gates idem.
asciilifeform: hence boring
mircea_popescu: this guy is cultivated.
asciilifeform: but i'm not convinced that the cultivated had anything to do with the win
mircea_popescu: these points are always extremely hard to establish. even in the golden age of cultivated, the argument never was causation, but mere correlation. "lucy, sit like a lady" "why!" "because sitting like a lady correlates with not marrying a bum"
mircea_popescu: that's why the entire progressive bs even caught on in the first place. no causation.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i imagine trying to read taleb to judge paths to success/create a path to success would be ungodly unnerving. i mostly like him because he provides an unalligned datapoint, by some definitions of unallignation.
asciilifeform: it feels like reading brezhnev's 'Малая Земля'.
asciilifeform: like somebody's jacking off into your skull.

mircea_popescu: i never read that
asciilifeform: virtually nobody read it
asciilifeform: incl. brezhnev
asciilifeform: (by all accounts he never showed the slightest symptom of having read 'his' b00k)
mircea_popescu: also not particularly cultivated.
mircea_popescu: this is what makes the differece from, say, proust.
mircea_popescu: huge books, utterly meaningless drivel, but nevertheless...
asciilifeform: there is such a thing as the drivel of a cultivated man.
shinohai: https://bitco.in/forum/threads/gold-collapsing-bitcoin-up.16/page-184#post-6654 "In my opinion, someone like Gavin Andresen is a genuine Bitcoin expert." <<< LOLOL
mircea_popescu: to try and formalize this, imagine the question in terms of wallpaper. now you, being a sane individual, would never have wallpaper in the house. but, admitting for the sake of argument that you own a slavegirl together enough to be allowed to run her own household, and admitting she inexplicably wants some wallpaper, the difference between "whatever" and "you can't have that" mostly rests on whether the 900 dpi thing
mircea_popescu: is composed of one inch squares repeating ad infinitum (edison, gates, the us generally) or is actually a pattern as large as the wall itself (ie, cultivated)
mircea_popescu: ofcoursethereis!
mircea_popescu: you ever read du cote de chez swann ?
mircea_popescu: fine. how about newton's approach to alchemy ?
mircea_popescu: drivel. cultivated man.
asciilifeform: aha and even serious newtoniana aficionados rarely dwell on his alchemical labours.
mircea_popescu: and the list could continue. there's piles of patristics, all the way to the divine doctor himself, doing nothing else. what's plotinus exactly ?
mircea_popescu: well i suspect the reason for that disinterest is simple fear.
mircea_popescu: "oh my god what if i read it and it makes sense to me".
asciilifeform: i'd guess it'd be boredom
asciilifeform: recently i went on an alchemical archaeology kick, motivated partly by desire to distinguish the 'good drivel' (the kind that actually made meaningful context-reference) from the straight drivel
asciilifeform: that is to say, the labours of thinking and honest men, albeit working on pre-scientific priors, from the 'climatologists' of their day
mircea_popescu: yet another theme one can lose an entire team of engineers in
asciilifeform: i never get especially far with this, because the good sfuff is generally not on the net
asciilifeform: and i can't be arsed to get on a plane just for this
asciilifeform: the alchemical matter is of interest to me because i do not (and afaik nobody does) adequately have a handle on the phase transition, if you will, between voodoo and science, of a young field

mircea_popescu: what do you mean not mentioned ?
mircea_popescu: all marxism is built on this.
asciilifeform: not exactly
asciilifeform: 'A 'closing technology' - is a category of innovation, where as a result of its advent the need for a resource (including human resource) shrinks. A closing technology leads to the disappearance of an entire profession or branch of industry without creating a similarly resource-intensive profession or industry in its place. If one is speaking only of a replacement of a technology with a new one (or of a field, or market niche)
asciilifeform: to replace an obsolete one, then the subject in question is merely 'disruptive innovation.'
asciilifeform: The first mention in the scientific literature of such a phenomenon is in K. Marx's discussion regarding the invention of the weaving mill, after which a great many weavers in Great Britain and India perished, having outlived their usefulness. In M. Delyagin's opinion, closing technologies are unprofitable to market economies and are thereby relegated to postindustrial and preindustrial nations.
asciilifeform: Closing technology leads to technical progress, which in this particular case disrupts the workings of an economic system, upsetting the balance of production and creating structural unemployment. From this point of view, closing technology is both a boon and an evil.'
asciilifeform: ^ rough transl.
asciilifeform does not endorse the crackpottery as written, but the concept is not useless
thestringpuller: hmm i can't reach qntra
thestringpuller: Wait wait for it
thestringpuller: YAAAAAAAAAY
jurov: asciilifeform: isn't it same thing as "disruptive innovation" before derps ran off with the term?
mircea_popescu: not really. disruptive simply means that the industrial pathways have to be reconstructed. not different from war in this sense.
mircea_popescu: tbh the best example of closing technology to date would be organised atheism.
jurov: how so? it removed some of clergy, but replaced it with humanities "scientists"
mircea_popescu: well no, removed the entire religion thing, from the "must build cathedral" to "tithe" - speaking of which, you ever seen l'avare with de funes ? epic tithing scene in there - and on and on. review the literature of the 1800s, about half the drivel printed was various clerics opiniong self importantly on matters they thoroughly ignored.
mircea_popescu: now, it's true that the self important ignoramus has not been discontinued by this ;' and it's true that he's found new crevices to hide and be gavin andersen in. nevertheless, this is not part of the definition.
thestringpuller: gavin doesnt even deserve to have his last name spelled correctly, cause who cares?
jurov: what is "organised atheism" then?
jurov: if not various branches of philosophy and humanities?
mircea_popescu: there's nothing atheistic about either of those.
jurov: what is "organised atheism" then?
mircea_popescu: a middle aged woman in queens going "when you die you die. that's it. you don't go anywhere." as overheard in "the conversion" seinfeld episode.
jurov: as i hardly know any such person, i suspect hard atheism is actually very rare thing.
mircea_popescu: what is "organised terrorism" ? a large enough group of people who think there's absolutely nothing wrong with setting things on fire if they were government things.
mircea_popescu: well... the thing about rat poison is that the rats don't need to know about it for it to work.
mircea_popescu: it may be rare or common in your environment, but the church sure as hell doesn't dare try and impose a tax, but instead fell back on the b-a taxation model.
jurov: heh, you wish. they learned bo bezzle instead.
jurov: *to bezzle
mircea_popescu: (organised here is used as a psych term of art - same way "organised delusion" works)
jurov: so, if we break organized delusion and now there's 1000s of individual ones, we have released human resources and unleashed immense potential, etc.?
jurov: i just don't make sense to apply the concept on church. did anyone perish due to church being displaced? no? then wtf we are having such virtual concepts?
punkman: many perished
mircea_popescu: why is "someone perished" the criteria ?
mircea_popescu: it's just that at some point some % of gdp went into researching pewter alloys and making dumbass candlesticks and now it doesn't.
mircea_popescu: this may not be the case in marginal, primitive lands, but then again technology diffuses on a gradient.
jurov: i suspect it isn't the case. let's say in middle ages 95% was the agriculture and 5% the religion ... and now the 5% remains under whatever guises (new age, dianetics, angelology, you name it) just the 95% moved on
mircea_popescu: religion actually caried 80%+.
jurov: of what?
mircea_popescu: hence back when president bahamas of 1400 ran into "a crisis", what they did was a crusade
jurov: certainly not the GDP
mircea_popescu: not fucking bahamascare
jurov: but they *did not* have million-armies. just gathered few thousands of derps, maybe 1% of pop... that could not have made a dent in gdp

mircea_popescu: trinque mind dpasting your fixed version then ?
trinque: sure
trinque: hell I'll put it on deedbot.org
trinque: so it is not lost to the sands of dpaste
mircea_popescu: and fwiw i'm on rotor 99998 iirc.
pete_dushenski also recalls this particular dpaste, even having tried it on fresh os!, and failing for reasons i shamefully didn't have time to delve into further
pete_dushenski: that it was only in logs was a bit odd
mircea_popescu: mod6 as a purely aesthetic point, i hate that your v puts its files/dirs straight under ~. it would be much better if it made them under current dir.
mircea_popescu: as it is i put .wot in /trb/.wot but the .seals are still up one level ;/
mircea_popescu: Peter Korsgaard and his 1024D bullshit
mircea_popescu: this is what we're hinging on ;/
mircea_popescu: how the fuck is 0xAB07D806D2CE741FB886EE50B025BA8B59C36319 even worth loading into a system in 2015.
mircea_popescu: anyway, rm -rf rotor and let's see this script
mircea_popescu: trinque am i expecting any particular output ?
trinque: the first output is it verifying signatures of various curl downloads, as I see it running it again.
mircea_popescu: right. so i now notice it made a rotor dir

mircea_popescu: pointedly absent, an autogen.sh or any sort of obvious make target.
trinque: yes, and after building the binary will be buried at rotor/TEST2/bitcoin/src/bitcoind
trinque: I would say that the file tree here needs some work.
mircea_popescu: building what ? how ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: we don't use automake, it is of the heathens
trinque: it is running the rotor/TEST2/rotor.sh ...
mircea_popescu: so what do we do ?
trinque: yes but this is seriously layered and needs to be smashed into one script.
mircea_popescu: my test2 is empty.
asciilifeform: (my rotor.sh would have been a standard makefile, but gnumake has problems invoking makes recursively)
trinque: mircea_popescu: the build script ought to be making all this
trinque: it blew up?
mircea_popescu: it finished without error, created the dir quoted above and thats it
mircea_popescu: /home/polimedi/.wot directory does not exist. Refer to help.
mircea_popescu: o god damned it.
mircea_popescu: i can't choose where to put anything, right ?
mircea_popescu: ima wipe this entire thing and start over. god damned tis frustrating.
trinque: also would be good to have curl output some progress info when downloading. it otherwise appears hung when pulling down boost, or did to me.
mircea_popescu: currently spewing stuff in terminal, seems ok.
mircea_popescu: yeah seems to be building boost.
mircea_popescu: i just downloaded the linux kernel...
mircea_popescu: yup there's musl too. aaaite, ima let it be for a bit then

mod6 reads again
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> seriously mod6, VERY nice job with this. 19 yo can use it! << sarc?
trinque out to dinner, will turn feeds back on when I return.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> mod6 had a set of instructions up for cooking rotor ab initio, but it apparently wasn't in the ml << no. it "works" as far as I and others have tried it -- it relies upon haveing my, alf's, mp's, ben's, and trinque's keys in a ~/.wot dir iirc.
mod6: but until we wrap up the final parts as discussed yesterday, i wont clutter up the ml
trinque: oh and btw, linked the script to say "I have used this and it works" not "this is a release according to mod6"
mod6: +asciilifeform> looks like mod6's script actually fetches it from openssl site << yes. for now, for testing. i haven't actually put up the stuff yet because until yesterday, wasn't finalized, wasn't signed etc.
pete_dushenski to dinner
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> mod6 as a purely aesthetic point, i hate that your v puts its files/dirs straight under ~. it would be much better if it made them under current dir. << alright
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> as it is i put .wot in /trb/.wot but the .seals are still up one level ;/ << noted.
mod6: so where are you at now, and how can I help you accomplish your goal.
trinque: mircea_popescu │ currently spewing stuff in terminal, seems ok.
mod6: and yah, btw, you can tell V where to put .wot .seals and your patchdir.
mod6: this is all in the doc.
mod6: if you don't tell it where to put them it creates ~/.wot ~/.seals and then drops the patchdir in your pwd.

mod6: Ok mircea_popescu asciilifeform ben_vulpes trinque : The latest version of my rotor+V+TEST2 script is here: http://dpaste.com/1R04312.txt : All you should need to do before hand is create a ~/.wot dir and add; "asciilifeform.asc", "mircea_popescu.asc", "mod6.asc", "ben_vulpes.asc", "trinque.asc", and "punkman.asc" into that directory.
mod6: Then if you take that paste, chmod +x it, run it, it /should/ pull down all of the deps (still not complete, grabs stuff over the web), pull down V, press a 'TEST2', then build rotor, and then finally bitcoind inside of it.
mod6: danielpbarron: do you have "asciilifeform.asc" in your .wot directory?
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 5750 @ 0.00048803 = 2.8062 BTC [-] {2}
danielpbarron: ah, that was the problem. I had named it asciilifeform.key
mod6: yeah, the manual says about ".asc"
mod6: sall good now
mod6: ?
danielpbarron: yeah appears so
mod6: ok
mod6: I am following my exact instructions above ^^^ nearly done building a rotor+V+TEST2.
mod6: If anyone else wants to do this tonight, to replicate my thing, I am here.
mod6: Let's do it.
asciilifeform increasingly certain that his magic rotolinux cd will have to be... a bootable one
asciilifeform: there is no other way to flamethrower the ubiquitous braindamage that prevents every single thing i ever publish from building on half the boxes
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> listen we really gotta pick one of these and stick to it. << will sort this out with the manifest/file-o-hashes

asciilifeform: you gotta put that envir var there
asciilifeform: or it will croak as pictured above
asciilifeform: one of these days i will saw out the locale idiocy from gcc
mircea_popescu: yteaH srsly
mircea_popescu: so export LC_ALL="C" ?
mod6: i think i usually execute this like: `LC_ALL=C ./bitcoind -myip=1.2.3.4 ... ect`
asciilifeform: aha what mod6 said
asciilifeform: sample from one of my boxes,
asciilifeform: LC_ALL="C" /home/bitcoin/bin/bitcoind -datadir=/home/bitcoin/.bitcoin -myip=$wanip -addnode=195.211.154.159 2>&1 &

mod6: nice!
asciilifeform: congrats mircea_popescu !

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: how big's your stripped bin ?

mod6: this is a good point kako.

mircea_popescu: kakobrekla word.
mod6: it /will/ get easier. it's our mission.
mircea_popescu: but in fairness the stack has improved HEAPS and bounds from its state pre-mod6-99997 release, so ima not say anything more
asciilifeform: 4884896 <<< asciilifeform's
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform EXTRA DWORD!
mod6: hehhe, we went through that once didn't we.
mod6: about the offsets
mircea_popescu: anyway, i could in principle put up ~60 of these overnight
mircea_popescu: it's really not so bad, <1hr whole script
mod6: yeah mine just finished.
mircea_popescu: and, most importantly, script works.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: gcc embeds local paths (aha quite retarded) in the elf
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: so it's a marvel we're only off by a dword
mod6: mine took ~30 minutes.
mod6: on an old ass core2duo too :]
asciilifeform: 'cause mine has strings like /home/stas/br-super/stator/ourlibs/lib/engines in the stripped elf
mircea_popescu: mod6 one thing to consider : rather than a wd to set the wot dir, simply have it put stuff under current dir ?
mod6: yeah, noted. i think the design decision there was "if i put it in pwd, someone might not know where it is, they may just check ~/ first."
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 60 actual physical boxes would be mighty spiffy
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform im not sure it'd actually do anything useful.
asciilifeform: it'd fill some pants i bet
mod6: ofc it could be helpful and spit that stuff out to stdout and let a fella know.
mircea_popescu: im not in the business of filling pants tho!
asciilifeform: also would be interesting to spot the octopi
asciilifeform: (the boxes that are simply out to hog sockets)
mircea_popescu: anyway. the only congrats that are in order go to teh foundation. well done peeps.
mod6: mircea_popescu: I'll reflect on this conversation and your trials/tribulations and use it to guide us going forward to the finish line here.
mircea_popescu: mod6 in fairness 99% of tribulation was because i wasn't using 99997
mircea_popescu: sorta went at it obliquely. but definitely gotta make it a release.
mod6: ah, ok. It's not super easy to follow unless you've been keeping up with all the testing. I'm trying to keep the ML clean so people don't get tripped up later.
mircea_popescu: yes but a "here's where you start" pointer must exist.
mircea_popescu: prolly should exist on the main page of trb site, at that.
mod6: yea, we need a "get your TEST2 up and going" section.
mod6: I've got a short week this week. I'll get some of that cleaned up.
mod6: There's a bunch of loose ends. We're getting there...
asciilifeform: at any rate even if mircea_popescu doesn't feel like making 60, it would be great if you lot came up with another dozen or so. take some of the load off my poor junkers
asciilifeform uncrates brand new half-TB ssd for zoolag

mod6: <+mircea_popescu> wut sarc << oh thought you had sarc tag on about the seals warning your 19yo got. :]
mircea_popescu: what's that ?
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> seriously mod6, VERY nice job with this. 19 yo can use it! << this
mod6: cause it died right then. heh.
mod6: anyway nm.
mod6: <+trinque> yes but this is seriously layered and needs to be smashed into one script. << this is a good point there a bunch of gyrations in the current script that could be folded all into one better script.
mod6: one thing at a time though.
mircea_popescu: of course... "blocks" : 0, "connections" : 0,
mircea_popescu: thius dun seem right.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: didja -addnode=1.2.3.4 ???
asciilifeform: gotta breath'o'life it

asciilifeform: replace with one of the currently-live nodez
asciilifeform: (one or more! can have multiple -addnode)
asciilifeform: iirc 195* belongs to mircea_popescu

mircea_popescu: anyway, for pete_d and anyone else who might have encountered difficulty with trb or fears they might : it's actually rather painless. 1. you create an account on a server ; 2. you cd /home/account_name ; 3. you create a .wot directory (mkdir .wot) ; 4. you put the pubkeys of people you trust in there as name1.asc, name2.asc etc ; 5. you download the rotor script (curl deedbot.org/build-bitcoind-99997K.sh > build-bitco
mircea_popescu: ind-99997K.sh) and make it executable (chmod +x build-bitcoind-99997K.sh) and then you run it (./build-bitcoind-99997K.sh). that's pretty much it, takes half hour or so, spits out an executable bitcoind (in /rotor/TEST2/bitcoin/src).
