00:32 asciilifeform meanwhile, in crackpot www's.
00:35 shinohai asciilifeform: this was the guy in dress that made the libc I posted a few months back.
00:35 asciilifeform shinohai: ah, was it
00:36 asciilifeform shinohai: defo seems to be 1 of those 'over 9000 free time' w/ invisible but clearly lavish Official support , folx
00:36 shinohai Piqued my interest because of few clever hacks, but trying to read all the garbage code comments made me lose interest pretty fast.
00:36 asciilifeform less boring than most imho.
00:36 asciilifeform i found via the bootsector lisp, wasn't bad.
00:40 shinohai Pretty sure I got banned from their Shithub page for accidentally saying the dreaded word "Tranny" in the issues section.
00:40 asciilifeform shinohai: oh hm, those? how didja realize it was 1 of'em?
00:42 shinohai By getting banned for using the word tranny.
00:42 shinohai xD
00:42 asciilifeform lolyes but what was the clue
00:43 asciilifeform eh nm
00:44 shinohai Even real girls that write code don't put as much gay shit in there as this one did.
00:44 asciilifeform at this pt so rare to land on a www w/ src and not immediately obv. garbage, that asciilifeform finds difficult to care whether author is a pyronecrozoophiliac, or whichever. but there do seem to be co-morbid braindamages with these, so rarely get even to the point of 'who was this' when encountering those.
00:46 asciilifeform the sad truth is that writing ~useful~ programs for extant machinery is nearly impossible. so who left, who not discouraged? the outright schizo, the peacocking 17yos, misc. mental patients.
00:47 asciilifeform plus of course the funded corpstooges.
00:47 asciilifeform these, together, add up to 99+% of opensores.
00:52 shinohai I could honestly care less if they wrote code while dragon dildo shoved up ass, but usually the mental illness has a way of presenting itself in their works.
00:53 asciilifeform sadly yes.
00:54 asciilifeform in case wasn't clear, the more unfortunate thing is, when you see code posted on www, nowadays the question is in no case 'whether' mental illness, but 'which'.
00:54 asciilifeform the sane folx have, mostly, given up.
00:55 asciilifeform not to mention, sane folx almost always consumed with working for pay.
01:04 * asciilifeform half-expected terry davis to leave some written note before death where he'd admit that he was malingering for pension moneys.
01:05 asciilifeform there aint all that many ways to get outta workschwitz.
01:05 asciilifeform (most -- only 'out the chimney', obv.)
~ 19 minutes ~
01:25 shinohai Current crop of clowns makes Terry Davis look absolutely boring.
~ 1 hours 56 minutes ~
03:22 asciilifeform shinohai: asciilifeform aint looking for 'entertaining' people, but re who, if anyone, is advancing the state of the art.
03:24 asciilifeform (e.g. this fella)
~ 3 hours 8 minutes ~
06:33 gregorynyssa http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-06-02#1038179 << that is so tragic...
06:33 snsabot Logged on 2021-06-02 16:47:27 asciilifeform: wished every day, for last 20+ yrs, that he had never seen a computer.
~ 7 hours 38 minutes ~
14:11 asciilifeform gregorynyssa: lotsa folx like this, most simply won't admit.

16:14 asciilifeform wb billymg
16:15 billymg asciilifeform: ty, somehow my nick unauthed with freenode (i think?)
16:15 billymg or znc issue
16:16 billymg asciilifeform: this guy looks quite interesting, have you tried inviting him into #asciilifeform?
16:16 snsabot Logged on 2021-06-02 23:21:27 asciilifeform: (e.g. this fella)
16:16 asciilifeform billymg: my znc also misfired. i suspect fleanode shenanigans.
16:30 shinohai $uptime
16:30 btcinfobot The bot has been up for: 23 days 22 hours 5 minutes and 33 seconds
~ 1 hours 26 minutes ~
17:56 asciilifeform shinohai: nifty. is this a new ver. of the bot ?
18:02 asciilifeform billymg: i haven't tried inviting, no. the historic record for these folx showing up is quite poor
18:03 shinohai asciilifeform: nah just moved the thing to a new host. So far seems to be surviving the fleanode weather changes.
18:04 asciilifeform shinohai: aa.
18:11 asciilifeform shinohai: asciilifeform had the idle thought, re 'what transform on btcusd number would render all the sig figs 'interesting'?' -- suppose reported as % of ath.
~ 25 minutes ~
18:37 shinohai That *would* be kind of interesting metric I suppose.
18:41 asciilifeform shinohai: idea came from my realization that the absolute # aint very interesting imho, but rather the question of whether enemy's arse is dilating, and if so, at what rate
18:44 shinohai How wouldja calculate inflation #'s here, for instance?
18:45 asciilifeform shinohai: separate q. (there aint a trivial algo for it)
18:46 * shinohai ponders this further ....
18:46 asciilifeform in so far as i'm concerned, btc-usd ~is~ the gold standard for usd.inflatometer.
18:46 shinohai Good point.
18:47 * asciilifeform reminds readers that inflation aint actually a scalar
18:57 verisimilitude http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-06-02#1038196 It's good to know I'm always welcome.

18:58 asciilifeform lol
18:58 verisimilitude http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-06-02#1038210 I've had a conversation with him, he was nice.
18:58 snsabot Logged on 2021-06-02 23:21:27 asciilifeform: (e.g. this fella)
18:58 asciilifeform verisimilitude: oh hey, where ?
18:58 verisimilitude I used email.
18:58 asciilifeform a
19:07 asciilifeform verisimilitude: didja buy his b00k?
19:10 verisimilitude No.
19:11 * asciilifeform makes a point of buying lispistic samizdat if looks even half-edible
19:11 asciilifeform can't comment re that one yet, hasn't arrived yet.
19:26 verisimilitude There are so many books I need to purchase, but I need to read what I own first.
19:29 gregorynyssa asciilifeform: verisimilitude: I wonder what the author of "Let over Lambda" has been doing since the publication of that book.
19:31 gregorynyssa IIRC, I owned this book https://t3x.org/amk/index.html back in college, written by that person mentioned above.
19:33 gregorynyssa by Nils Holm, I mean.

19:59 verisimilitude http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-06-03#1038211 What's tragic about it?
19:59 snsabot Logged on 2021-06-03 02:30:22 gregorynyssa: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-06-02#1038179 << that is so tragic...
20:01 verisimilitude I've been made to wonder how common this pattern is with new technology.
~ 1 hours 57 minutes ~
21:59 asciilifeform verisimilitude: see also.
21:59 asciilifeform ( and also, and various other. )
~ 28 minutes ~
22:28 verisimilitude I referred to the feeling.
