mircea_popescu: i had no idea Proust was "married celibate"
mircea_popescu: the most shocking thing to me re anglospace is and remains the incredible textual productions of people who evidently master no references. it's an endless outpour of "music" from people who don't recognize any notes.
BingoBoingo: "My parents shocked me with very horrible news. They were planning on sending me to Taft High School. Taft had five times as many students as Crespi, it was a public school, it had girls in it, and it had a bad reputation. I had never been so scared in my entire life. How could they do this to me, after knowing what I went through at Crespi? Taft High School would eat me alive and spit me out. I felt so betrayed by my parents." << AHA, I
BingoBoingo: was waiting for his parents to give up on him!

indoor_jellyfish: The obsession with social status is bizzare. Are neighborhoods so clearly ordered good through bad? How much time did the adults in his life spend discussing this within earshot?
BingoBoingo: Yes, neighborhoods are exactly that clearly ordered if one is the sort of defective that counts by primary colors and names building after their shape.
indoor_jellyfish: "A large source of the incredible tedium of his prose is that where you see predicates and subjects with their determinants he just runs a mess of copulative constructions in pre-cut forms ; his idea of English phraseology is essentially a trainload of nouns." < a part-chinaman trying for hieroglyphs
diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-25#1529080 true; at the same time and funnily enough in this particular case, the parents of this guy actually called the police on him and apparently tried to get him out of the way -within the confines of what was acceptable- but essentially everybody else disagreed with the parents' own view that he wasn't fit to live among others as he was at the time.

mircea_popescu: the exact equivalent of these kids in romania would then have to wake up early because they had class with mp, who was ONE YEAR THEIR JUNIOR, and he'd flunk them all eventually, but they were too petrified of him anyway.
BingoBoingo: phf: Amazing! When I was in a graduate philosophy program it was dominated by the same ethos!!! Also, there's always one or more polish students in philosophy program.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, that sounds then like an excellent class in waking up early, but with dubious results philosophy-wise :p
mircea_popescu: it wasn't early, it was 10 to 12 wtf.
diana_coman: oh, I thought they woke up early as in woke up at 6am to read for the class out of fear or something
mircea_popescu: no, just, you know, "early"
diana_coman: since we had classes starting usually at 8am if not 7:30 at uni on most days (they surely wouldn't have all fitted otherwise in a week/daytime if starting any later), I did not grasp the early concept correctly, lol
diana_coman: my point though was that petrified people don't seem to be able to learn much while being statues
mircea_popescu: this is because you also don't grasp the concept of "learning" correctly. there is no required participation of the fucking subject in learning actual matter, such as philosophy. if i were teaching them cooking i'd be interested in their own fucking contribution and whatever. but the point of philosophy is to shut the fuck up and LEARN. what "the text makes you think" and what "you feel about X" is entirely uninteresting, bec

diana_coman: shutting up and learning != being petrified
diana_coman: being petrified shuts down entirely everything including hearing/learning, hence "statue"
mircea_popescu: diana_coman in english, "petrified" denotes the situation of the mouse beset by snake, who can't move away ; not the situation of sodomites turned to salt by a vengeful god.
mircea_popescu: (the snake is, for merit, the symbol of wisdom, by the way. specifically that in the mice's reaction to it, they bring to mind philosophy students in a half decent oxford class.)
shinohai: If this were so, Southern US would contain more salt than the mines of Siberia, to hear evangelicals speak.

asciilifeform: sbcl also has
phf: and the way i'm using it is non-traditional (or perhaps very traditional depending on how you look at it)
asciilifeform: asciilifeform is specifically interested in the 'foo' in 'gpg --blah .... < foo' -> sigsegv
phf: i figured, but i suspect it's a much more mundate explanation. nothing's change in gpg/gpgme setup from the previous core, so this must be something novel in the way cmucl is packing itself to a core file, or perhaps it's not reloading those foreign libs properly
asciilifeform: i dun think i've ever sigsegv'd a pure-lisp process that didn't (safety 0)

mircea_popescu: i was talking to him!
adlai: re: the revocation thread from a couple days ago: why not require/expect keys, ratings, and revocations to be at least deeded, or better yet, spammed into the chain itself?
trinque: deeded requires signed, and if the right material is signed, doesn't need to be a deed.
mircea_popescu: because it's ultimately nobody else's business.
adlai: (rationale for spamming: it's not a lot of data, and adding a cost to the process gives the process a cost)
adlai: wasn't the whole thread about the fact that there's no unquestionable ordering?
asciilifeform: adlai: this is not the only problem with concept of 'revocation'.
trinque: sure there is; hash of last signed rating
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-25#1529385 << the very notion of gaming on a laptop...
adlai: trinque: i think you're describing an imaginary system that doesn't actually exist in any of the existing wotbots/
mircea_popescu: the whole thread was about how key owner does NOT control the process in any shape or form. this is the logical equivalent of "the organism pumping blood through the tits does not control the tit pinching that goes on with the tits."
asciilifeform: adlai: the entire notion of pubkeys posted publicly in a way that implies that strangers can take and use'em for something, is probably going away.
mircea_popescu: pretense to the contrary has a cost ; and we're not gonna be paying it.
adlai wonders whether this extends to the entire notion of s/pubkeys/ratings/, too
asciilifeform: adlai: currently there is a very comical situation where chumps download a pubkey, from ?????, and then try to authenticate published material (found on mitmable www sites, naturally) ~TO~ it, rather than the reverse (found signed material, then determined matching pubkey)

mod6: There are so many gems.
adlai: it is possible to trust (up to a certain minimal degree) keys encountered "in the wild"
mod6: like this: "What the fuck is wrong with these people." << i mean right?
mircea_popescu: it is possible to eat shit, as an individual. it is not possible to enact a shiteating diet.
asciilifeform: adlai: must also point out, 'read signed document and then found matching pubkey' still conceivably leaves you behind a 'great firewall' where all pgp sigs visible match chairman mao's key perfectly
mircea_popescu: don't confuse what one can do with what's to be done.
mod6: An honest question to ponder for our times: "Why the fuck do US kids even go to school anymore ?"
asciilifeform: mod6: same reason they went in 1900. to be kept out of labour market.
asciilifeform: propping up wages.
adlai: asciilifeform: true
mircea_popescu: aha, the equivalent of the boarded up bank-house

mircea_popescu: "bitch... i'm not gonna pay more for her as she's older and dumber"
trinque sees how wot ratings propagating over gossipd make more sense than anything taped together on this gossipd-less side of things
adlai: mod6: reminds me of some article that tl;dred to "i should have procrastinated my phd for as long as possible, finishing it was a mistake"
trinque: and in that case they hold only as much credence as your trust of peered nodes
trinque: and order is when you saw it
asciilifeform: trinque: current situation is more or less worst possible - one reads arbitrary, sig-less string from a remote box, in the clear.
mircea_popescu: trinque it's really immersive, this new dream, huh.
trinque: shapes so much behavior.
adlai: so when do we officially acknowledge that the first attempt at addressing the gossipd RFC was a failure, and solicit a second?
adlai: oh sorry, "there is no we, there is only V". so when do U ...?
asciilifeform: adlai: i can speak only for me.
mircea_popescu: what've they been feeding you in the booby hatch ?
asciilifeform: and iirc phf also had one.
adlai: yeah i just corrected myself
asciilifeform: and i forget who else.
asciilifeform: nobody yet published, because various details remain to be worked.
adlai: then maybe the RFC should be for a protocol, rather than an implementation? or at least, a reference implementation that ~nobody uses, like V
adlai is not calling users of mod6-V "nobody", but just suggesting that "most" users, write their own
mircea_popescu: what is this guy on about.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: gossipd
trinque: adlai: I use it.
mircea_popescu: i dun think so.
asciilifeform: adlai: i thought you were referring to my original v as 'reference'
asciilifeform: in which case you would be almost correct, afaik no one but me uses it.
mircea_popescu: motherfucker "corrected himself" in the sense of admitting his original idiocy has no possible subject ; and then gleefully proceeds to act as if he said something.
trinque: also v.pl is to be valued by number of shithub stars

phf: adlai: i think gossip spec is fine, just nobody took it to release. asciilifeform has significant changes to the spec, but if you ignore those you can still build a working implementation. in fact, unless you're ascii, i think it's better to ignore further discussion and just stick to what mp wrote. i also think it's one of those ideas you don't want nailed down at protocol level. mine for example slings gpg packets
phf: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4880#page-13 (section 4.) over tcp. i have an incremental packet parser that you can attach to tcp stream and it'll give you packet-by-packet on the other end. that's probably not the right solution for going to war though
phf: i got bogged down in config files and other such minutia, but that's because i wrote it in c and i'm not yet at a level where i can produce elegant c solutions. i also used knuth's web, and since there aren't systems that support web/c syntax highlighting and indent the whole process was very much "grinding your own telescope lens by hand"
mircea_popescu: back in the days trinque was called undata i made the point to him that merely because management is not apparent is a sign that management is extremely competent ; not an invitation to try and scare up some "management stone soup".
mircea_popescu: apparently this is a very easy mistake to make ; understandably too, anglosphere management is da pits.
trinque: heh, reading one's own old logs is a trip.
trinque: relatedly, the mental compressor doth not always yield fruitful search terms.
trinque: I remember the conversation clearly, aside from *any* of the phrasing whatsoever :p
trinque: $up Sinclair6
deedbot: Sinclair6 voiced for 30 minutes.
trinque: oh oh! I found the other thing.

mircea_popescu: phf in practice, once tmsr-rsa is here, i'd expect to do exactly the "sling packets" thing

trinque: boom!
mircea_popescu: your btclog-search-fu amazes
phf: trinque: hey what's the current frequency that you send pings and timeout, 30 60?
mircea_popescu: hm, anyone has a link handy to that epic steph kegels library public masturbation thing ?
shinohai: only one i know is flash mircea_popescu, at yer own risk
mircea_popescu: meh i'd rather gif.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i guess i;ll just use a shitty fragment.
shinohai: there was an mp4 of that somewhere but i dnt remember
mircea_popescu: chick should be studied in school.
mircea_popescu: "this is what i mean by enthusiasm, bitch."
trinque: phf: yep, those.
phf: so essentially one ping goes out at 3, and then there's another 30 to get it back
phf: that's what i had in my old bot implementation too
phf: *err at 30
shinohai: bit of a voluptuous girl there mircea_popescu !
mircea_popescu: phf you available to give peter l some pointers re osx build process in #eulora ?
phf: mircea_popescu: oof, there aren't any. i've not updated the build scripts for the new version and it's not a "some pointers" kind of process
mircea_popescu: shinohai does he speak american ?
phf: i can put new urls into the build scripts and see if it still works (unlikely but who knows, if dev team hasn't touched build process might still be operational)
phf: is this up to date http://www.eulorum.org/Ubuntu ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i got a puzzler:
asciilifeform: from rodger pt. 4: 'You would think it strange that he has such intense feelings yet doesn't apply the obvious resolution available for them : go up to these betters, prostrate himself and beg them to accept him as their slave. He'll do anything, just as long as they use him. Why not ? ... what they should have been fucking saying were variations of the theme of, "take off your clothes, crawl to them on hands and knees and lick their
asciilifeform: shoewear."'
asciilifeform: how is this 'resolution' ? dude was, afaik, straight, not only preferred to eat a pistol rather than do any of this, but in fact ~did~
asciilifeform: so what am i missing
mircea_popescu: i dunno ?
asciilifeform: why not likewise say 'the obvious resolution ... eating a pound of broken glass'
mircea_popescu: "you have diabethes. the cure is to stop eating sweets." "i'm not stopping eating sweets." "then you will die." "i prefer to die." "fine, but just for the record - stopping with the sweets STILL is the cure for diabethes."
asciilifeform: nah this here's aids, not diabetes.
asciilifeform: no cure.
mircea_popescu: unwarranted delusions of independence are his problem, entire.
mircea_popescu: he's born a slave, like it or not. either fuck or get off the pig.
asciilifeform: whole flavour of the piece, in my reading, is that this was a dude with no solution.
mircea_popescu: that he got off the pig doesn't invalidate the fucking.
mircea_popescu: there's a blessing for everything, my dear alf.
asciilifeform: if he could have become some arbitrary thing that he was not, he would not have even ended up on this microscope slide in formalin.
asciilifeform: so he could have as 'easily' grown taller as learned to enjoy slaving.
mircea_popescu: this is posited but not proven.
asciilifeform: hard to ~prove~ a could-have about corpse, neh
mircea_popescu: well... so then why do we care.
asciilifeform: imho it is an interesting question - was rodger a terminal case.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu's commentary suggested that there was some... 'place' for him, that he could have learned to live in
mircea_popescu: not so. i don't believe he biologically had a complete set of mechanisms. there was nothign for him.
asciilifeform: the 'ought to have learned to kiss shoes' thing suggested otherwise.
asciilifeform: but ok.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, for another in his position but not with his condition, the solutions would have been plurious, from the prostration onwards.
asciilifeform: how might one end up 'in his position but not with his condition' ?
asciilifeform: i am having problem picturing this.
mircea_popescu: now that i do not know.
mircea_popescu: but bad parenting perhaps ?
asciilifeform: this would put in the 'condition' neh?
mircea_popescu: bad parenting is mere nurture
asciilifeform: bad parenting enlarges natural fissures, if you will, often to some quite impressive dr. mengele results.
asciilifeform: if mircea_popescu had written that rodgier ought to have ~been buggered~, or enslaved by arabs, or similar, i would have no dispute. but it is just as fantastic to posit schmuck going into pederasty willingly, as to picture him growing taller by effort of will
mircea_popescu: this is posited but not proven.
asciilifeform: esp. considering that his most grotesque, as far as i can see , defect, was precisely atrophied will.
asciilifeform: (will, i am quite convinced, is an organ, no less so than memory)
phf: well, guy was pathological, but perhaps the idea is that people with lesser manifestations of similar issues should considering serving
phf: he couldn't talk to girls, ok, but he could talk to those same guys that he hated.
asciilifeform: phf: but they did not, going by the telling, hate ~him~
asciilifeform: duded don't really come equipped with this circuit that turns on, in dan mocsny's words, 'motorized statue' mode when within 100 metres of a rodgier
phf: asciilifeform: right, but if he recognized them as his betters, he could learn from them is my point, by talking to them, by "serving" them, etc.
asciilifeform: possibly
phf: instead he hated them, precisely because he thought that he's no worse. it's all through his narrative "girls dig cruel people" and all that stuff. the idea of, say, learning to become cruel (accepting his modality) somehow didn't really enter his mind
asciilifeform: though it is not as if young boys are apt to take 'apprentices'
asciilifeform: 'hey gurlz, just ignore this short ugly dude following me around watching, he's my understudy' ?
mircea_popescu: the notion that "he's no worse" is certainly the largest part of the problem. how the utter fuck is he no worse ? he's the absolute worst.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i actually did that. they did ignore.
mircea_popescu: guy saw tits for the first time in lyf!
BingoBoingo: ;;later tell adlai You work step 1 yet?
gribble: The operation succeeded.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: interesting! what became of apprentice ?
mircea_popescu: nothing.
mircea_popescu: and i did not say understudy ; i said dog.
asciilifeform: as in the 4-legged kind ?
mircea_popescu: well yeah.
asciilifeform: try it with a human dog.
asciilifeform: well, a rodgier on a leash, or sumthing
mircea_popescu: yes dawg. ugly, pockmarked, hunchback kid with poor hygiene habits.
mircea_popescu: i told him to touch nothing and speak not a word lest i behead him ; girls wanted to know who's that and i said pay no mind whatsoever, i got a new dog.
asciilifeform: ah so 2-legged.
mircea_popescu: it did exactly nothing either way.
asciilifeform: how did mr. dog merit this 'treat' ?
mircea_popescu: i dun exactly recall ; something about whining about very rodgeresque matters within earshot.
asciilifeform brb, food
phf: mircea_popescu: i misplaced my eulora account, can i get a password reset?
mircea_popescu: blrightht
phf: it's for a good cause
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> if mircea_popescu had written that rodgier ought to have ~been buggered~, or enslaved by arabs, or similar, i would have no dispute. but it is just as fantastic to posit schmuck going into pederasty willingly, as to picture him growing taller by effort of will << He probably would enthusiastically have embraced getting buggered if he was a level 70 chocolate elfhole while recieving buggery
phf: it sort of works, http://glyf.org/tmp/eulora-2.png doesn't load any textures though. i'm going to push the update to the scripts, but i won't be able to look at it proper for another couple of weeks
mircea_popescu: PeterL ^ if that helps.
BingoBoingo: That's a pretty good looking horror game there
phf: i think it might be failing to pick up eulora specific assets
BingoBoingo: "I left around the beginning of August. This was my first time traveling alone, and I didn’t know what to expect. Father signed me up to have supervised travel assistance to help me along the way, otherwise I would get lost in the airport." << LOL Airport Special ED!
mircea_popescu: hey, some airports were designed by the mentally retarded
mircea_popescu: de gaulle first on the fucking list
BingoBoingo: I don't airport.

BingoBoingo: phf: The pollsters say millenials are actually not fucking very much. Too much world of snapchat.
