verisimilitude: I once knew a fellow who faked his death; I correctly figured it was to find dissent, and so I held mine insults, and he turned up days later.

asciilifeform: died a polack, eh.
asciilifeform supposes this was result of whatever ??? he used instead of a passport
asciilifeform familiar with chinese 'wait and the corpse of your enemy will float by' but did not expect so literally

asciilifeform: земля стекловатой.
lobbes: yeah, I saw both those articles a few days back; surreal (indeed, he certainly will not 'come back' nao)
lobbes: personally, he was one of the several few in my life that gave me the tools to clean the shit from my eyes. The other 99% on this planet just keep flinging it.

asciilifeform: gregorynyssa: i admit that i will not be greatly astonished if he were to turn up alive at some point. like just about errything else he had done in life, this could readily be another elaborate, heavily intellectualized ego-pumping scam.
asciilifeform: i also admit that i'ma be a little disappointed if mp stays dead; was hoping to see him universally exposed, lowered, humiliated, and eventually dead of vodka, eltsin-style.

asciilifeform: thimbronion: i expect to some time today (loox like several folx had same thought, so his www a bit loaded)
thimbronion: asciilifeform: I will mirror if you share it.
shinohai: Rather interesting last post on Trilema says "Anyways, tomorrow we're going to the beach .... What's the worst that could come of it ?"
shinohai: You'd be surprised!
asciilifeform: shinohai: i tuned out of mp & whores 100%, ~yr ago, and was rather surprised to discover that they were even as recently as last wk still wanking about rewriting 'v'; diana spent yr fighting gnat; endlessly running in circles...
shinohai: What was there to fight in gnat?
asciilifeform: shinohai: plenty. (e.g. this took asciilifeform 3y from draft to releasable..)
asciilifeform: shinohai: i did not read whole chronicle, but did see that diana did not read (or believe) log where asciilifeform described 'finalization dun work', and went and bashed head
shinohai: No, I mean what exactly was Diana fighting?
shinohai: ah kk
asciilifeform: shinohai: if yer curious re specifics, read 'from horse's mouth'
shinohai: I'm about as interested in reading O as I am drivel from other former #t troglodytes.
shinohai: Your blog, at least, might provide me with some education whenever I can pick ffa back up.
asciilifeform: shinohai: diana is, by my lights, one of the numerous 'plodders' who go from kindergarten to doctorate with perfect marks without skipping a beat but also without ever so much as risking to emit an original thought
asciilifeform: the system optimizes for'em: obedient meatrobots.
asciilifeform: (and, contrary to stereotype, not somehow limited to asia)
asciilifeform: such folx have precisely 1 approach to solving technical problems; and this approach is amply illustrated on diana's www
asciilifeform: 'diligently try all 9000 possibilities'
asciilifeform: managerial types luvv these to death, they reliably produce 'steady labour' flavour that satisfies performance metrics, whether bureaucratic (reich orgs incl. usg) or sadomasochistic (mp's)
shinohai: Can't argue with that.

signpost begrudges no one his gratitude.
asciilifeform: lobbes: oh neato -- is this item published ?
lobbes: a few months ago, after a round of playtesting, I realized that original prototype was simply not fun
lobbes: so, I ended up having to start from scratch (again). I'm on the third prototype now (now it is no longer a FTL clone at all, really)
lobbes: however, I managed to get a shitton more of playtesting done on this latest one, and it is WAY more fun, in terms of the core gameplay
lobbes: so, the 'vertical slice' of the game is done. Now I just need to build it out

lobbes: my goal is to learn the process of indie game dev, and then learn how to shit out a ton of "2d graphic" games over the next ten years.
lobbes: Along with investing in real estate. I want to get to that point where I can finally escape the fuckin' saltmines (I swear, I just can't stand it any longer lol)

dulapbot: Logged on 2020-08-20 19:26:54 asciilifeform: the more general idea was discussed in the logs many times. it is why you can't buy a sane, open cpu. there is simply no way to pay for what the fabrication would cost. esp. if you refuse to go along with the vendor's demands to use their NDA'd cell libs & mswin shitwares.
verisimilitude: It was disconcerting to read an expert discussing his RNG setup; had I not known better, whitening would've seemed fine. After all, it gives the RNG output even when it's not ready, which he needs as a professional who knows what he's doing.
asciilifeform: verisimilitude: i presume you're aware of the biological process that gives us flightless birds
asciilifeform: (flight -- 'expensive', can't get too fat, need very light frame, muscle)

asciilifeform: point being, 'it seems fine' is a++ great until it aint.
verisimilitude: Of course.

asciilifeform: the only thing folx build, ultimately, when doing this dope, is sand castles.

whaack: signpost: this video contains the series of exercises recommended by the doctor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fv_EJV8q2E0 . The guy in the video uses a good prop to show how these stretches tense and release the nerve "cables." Interesting bit starts at around the 1min mark. These exercises seem to be giving some relief
whaack: lobbes: man I wish it were just days...
whaack: (rather than weeks, months)
lobbes: damn, that sounds horrid indeed
whaack: I also was perscribed doing pronation, supination etc. exercises with a hammer (same idea as device you linked, weight is skewed to 1 side)
whaack: atm the pain is very slight and 99% of the time it is completely bearable, I'm just worried that I am developing (or have already developed) permanent irreversible dammage
lobbes: at least for my tendonitis, strenghtening my various forearm muscles (specifically the "extensor carpi" whatevers) is what helped me. Plus you get all that blood flowing. Could be different for rsi though, I have nfi really

gregorynyssa: anti-Authorialism = people do not understand their own thoughts and emotions, and need others to "read" them.
gregorynyssa: correction: "plodders"

BingoBoingo: Fuck, I sink into girl who makes me feel loved as MP described it, and he's gone
BingoBoingo: If it wasn't for him I would have never known it was love
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: see thread.
BingoBoingo: And if MP wouldn't have burnt down whatever was left of the Republic as he did, I would have never known living as I have had the freedom to know it this last year
BingoBoingo reading thread
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: per my lights, mp was 2 d00dz, 1 -- was my friend, and died in '17. the other, the alcoholic wreck, about whom $thread.
BingoBoingo: I understand the bifurcation being the same person. Bitch that loved me suggested I go to therapy,. Her friend recommended to me an ld school psychonalyst. That therapist really fucked me up. That doesn't mean the bitch doesn't love me.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: this split is a well-known scourge of friends, relatives of brain damage patients.
BingoBoingo: But was it a true split?
BingoBoingo: The world started getting very shitty in 2015
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: as i see it, absolutely nothing substantial has changed b/w '15 and nao
BingoBoingo: Everyone discounted that warning that South Park season 19 was
BingoBoingo: Everything substantial in the meatware of strangers encountered after 2015 changed
asciilifeform: i confess, dun see it

BingoBoingo: thimbronion: You smoke cigarettes?
thimbronion: BingoBoingo: not anymore.
BingoBoingo: I still do
thimbronion: BingoBoingo: my health is too shit to indulge.
BingoBoingo: And this girl loves nothing more than sucking my dick while I blog/tiktok/livestream
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: you ever finished that crate asciilifeform smuggled in?
BingoBoingo: and smoke
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform Unfortunately
asciilifeform: time for anuther 1 eh
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform Been time for a while
BingoBoingo: and thestringpuller: I hope the worms eat you for being absent every single year the Republic could have used you, 2017-2020 and you chose scummy absence
thimbronion: BingoBoingo: sounds lovely.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: we could've used him?! (lol, for what?)
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform We can't know because he chose absence
BingoBoingo: thimbronion The loveliest
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: more worrisome imho is the continued awol of jurov (who still has the tbf piggy and www)
asciilifeform: !q seen-anywhere jurov
snsabot: jurov last seen in #asciilifeform on 2021-05-17 08:03:15: slackware?
BingoBoingo: AWOL of jurov is worrisome, but... He was seen in May
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: speaking of modern era, i rec to prep a box for peering w/ dulapnet. at some unspecified time undead-fleanode will croak.

shinohai: BingoBoingo: do you hope worms eat me as well? xD
asciilifeform: worms eat errybody.
asciilifeform: (aside from, perhaps, folx who manage to drown..)
BingoBoingo was planning next vacation with 50/50 chance of returning as same person....
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: to where will go ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Cabo Polonio
BingoBoingo: I plan to take a bunch of Ketamine, LSD, and adivinar which rocks probably killed the most ships between 1500-1600
asciilifeform: ah neato
asciilifeform: trinque iirc once did sumthing similar
asciilifeform: achived, iirc, satori.
asciilifeform: *achieved
BingoBoingo: Next step is getting a boat and seeing how the water moves around killer rocks
BingoBoingo: to be followed by maybe getting some petroleum people to ultrasound the seafloor in select locations like it is a pregnant bitch's nelly
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: not sure i get it -- didja devise some new means of divination re where to sink the drill ?
BingoBoingo: But between getting a boat and checking out the pregnant seafloor, maybe I can sell the job to some sucker. Mark Twain style
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Not where to drill, where to scoop the sand and mud
BingoBoingo: Many ships loaded with Inca riches never made it to Spain. Some may have died hugging the coast too much
BingoBoingo: I want that Billion dollar/tens of BTC haul
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: coast of brazil is actually a good place. but would have to be robotic vehicle, their navy actually patrols and shoots would-be prospectors and especially archaeologists (they have a party-line re history and dun want to rewrite)
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform lol - Had this discussion already
BingoBoingo: With strangers from livestream and withnavy people
asciilifeform: a? and what did they say?
BingoBoingo: Random people from livestream said "They won't let you" Prefectura said: Here's the forms
asciilifeform: these aint necessarily in contradiction tho
asciilifeform: at any rate, problem is virtually never 'the forms'
BingoBoingo: This is Uruguay, the problems are always the tramites
BingoBoingo: Including for the old bitch who lives on the first floor of my building
BingoBoingo: whose late husband also treasure hunted
BingoBoingo: And yes, brasil navy shoots so much
snsabot: (trilema) 2015-07-08 williamdunne: What happened to that German socialist girl, she ever come back to continue her derping?
asciilifeform: (and before anyone asks, yes, from memory, lol)
thimbronion: asciilifeform: ty!
thimbronion: Was searching for this line: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2015-05-19#1138259. Evidently will *not* be here.
snsabot: (trilema) 2015-05-19 mircea_popescu: justJanne don't die over b-a hon. it's eternal, will be here when you're 69, too.
thimbronion: Although I remembered it as "we'll be here." I suspect 99% of my memories of the logs are wrong in a similar way.
lobbes: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-06-27#1041149 << aha. Yeah, the entirety of the game so far has been in Unity. I actually really like the program (it reminds me very much of my old days using Macromedia Flash 5)
snsabot: Logged on 2021-06-27 17:12:08 gregorynyssa: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-06-27#1041039 << any experience with Unity or Unreal? I was thinking of trying the latter.
lobbes: If I learned anything from my #t/#b-a days, it is that I am a very shitty programmer/engineer, but I also have ~2 decades of "hack and slash, spaghetti coding" under my belt. Unity is perfect for me, honestly.
lobbes: and the beauty of video games, is that even if I write shitty coad, no one is going to die or lose their fortune, etc.
thestringpuller: lobbes: I wish Unity scaled. Like they started building Rust in unity in 2013, but now it's so tightly coupled to the engine it can't be moved out. There is another engine Facepunch made, but Rust likely won't ever be ported.
lobbes: thestringpuller: otoh, if I get to the point where I have scaling problems I will be a happy man indeed
asciilifeform: meanwhile, upstack : turns out mp's www weighed only ~8G. approx. same as mine.
snsabot: Logged on 2021-06-27 10:33:07 thimbronion: asciilifeform: do you have a conveniently shareable archive of trilema?
asciilifeform: i'ma put tarball up, but not wwwistic crawlable dir until the original falls down (supposing ever does -- e.g. naggum's still up!), the corpse aint paying me to put up w/ the bandwidth load that hosting crawlable copy of that junkyard entails
shinohai: tyvm asciilifeform
asciilifeform pictures the lenin mausoleum the chix are perhaps building
asciilifeform: ook, thimbronion , shinohai , and whoever else wants : http://dulap.xyz/pub/mirrors/misc/trilema.com.tar.gz ; sha512:44b9e7137637bae71ba5cb5902b1c576642f2e88b0333d167d6b0ac294c5ef6a2107967c179dcc290c5724b72aa63b9e8f9507ea3a2900723a5a97ad1077f1ce .
asciilifeform: it is conceivable that something did not make it in there, tho the www was not in any obv. way boobytrapped or bw-throttled or any similar.
asciilifeform: prolly if someone is troo archaeologist, oughta grab the thing w/ own hands while it remains grabbable.
asciilifeform: (ftr my copy was made via 'wget -e robots=off -r --mirror --page-requisites --convert-links --span-hosts --domains trilema.com http://trilema.com' .)
asciilifeform thought of making a slimmer tarball w/out the kilometre of avi/jpg, but can't be arsed, and besides, 'из песни слова не выкинешь'(tm)
lobbes: ty asciilifeform. I've got a curl honed on it now, and will probably mirror on my own server once it downloads
thimbronion: asciilifeform: downloading, ty.
