note that i'm the one explaining "life on the sea" is idiotic, you don't get to hijack that argument. fact remains that IF you're willing to bite the live-on-sea bullet, tanker by far best deal. |
| 10:30 |
mircea_popescu |
and WILL STAY best deal, for your lifetime, given that no amateur shithead/copywriter is going to come up with a way to MAKE NEW ships that'll come out cheaper than the tail end of the industrial process. |

yeah, whatever. i can't be arsed to have anyone dig it up, but certainly germane to this idiocy. imbecile went as far to actually ~predict~, the obviously falsifiable point, that somehow the republic is unstable. because omg, it breks the tenets of socialism and dares have personally invested sovereignity, THEREFORE IT MUST BE BAD. |

how am i going to answer a ghost of a question! |
| 12:05 |
asciilifeform |
elaborate why not 'bock explained' |
| 12:06 |
mircea_popescu |
for humans, because it doesn't serve any purpose to credit idiots; with anything. for computers, because the whole point of the idiot being named is to make it impossible for his life to continue outside of his association with his fucking a pig. |
| 12:07 |
mircea_popescu |
reusing the name does nothing for either, and moreover there's no cause for it. he's nothing to nobody, except a pig fucker with a matching face. |
| 12:07 |
asciilifeform |
mircea_popescu: done. |
| 12:08 |
mircea_popescu |
aquae et ignis, you understand. "flycheck" lacks the ability to "it moved" much like hanno bock lacks the ability to "tell" anyone anything. |
| 12:09 |
mircea_popescu |
these aren't to be assumed, just because fucktards think socialism, and all things are equal and all "people" are special and so forth. |
| 12:10 |
asciilifeform |
well when instead of 'boeck said...' i say 'the lizard octopus proclaimed via one of its tentacles...' folks laugh. |
| 12:11 |
asciilifeform |
somehow the face trick works. |
| 12:11 |
mircea_popescu |
so then say "i heard" |
| 12:11 |
asciilifeform |
i dun like the female-gossiptronic aspect of 'i heard' |

asciilifeform |
there was a mouth, that spoke the nonsense |
| 12:11 |
asciilifeform |
why not point the mouth. |
| 12:15 |
mircea_popescu |
you're getting the brunt of it for your "sin" of being naively open, but whatever, you're a big enough boy to survive it i'd hope : the above orcish "when stated plainly they laugh so whatever, the face trick seems to work" is a large part of why people like rms failed without meaning to and without realising they were. much like the hurtless cut of the apple carpace. |
| 12:16 |
mircea_popescu |
they're built up to exploit the force of this "it works" mistake you understand ? much like a revolver uses the gas to move the next round. |
| 12:16 |
mircea_popescu |
the thing to focus on is the hearer, not the mouth. |
| 12:17 |
mircea_popescu |
this is how the ethereum humiliation worked ; and why ; and wherefore. and it's how the bitfinex thing played out, for the same reasons. |

there's no such thing as "a safe distance autocannon" for the love of fuck. |

a torpedo really is not THAT expensive. |

mircea_popescu |
important point i guess. |
| 13:10 |

the proprietary clients do such things as guaranteed retro-ordering of messages, very frustrating to folks raised on irc, but the folks who have it - expect it. |

That was probably the case for people scamming usagi, which is what it boiled down to. Usagi issued insurance against people who were exposed to pirate (insured their debts), then collected it into risk trenches (A, B and C) of descending risk. he did 0 underwriting, and was overconfident. So all the people who told him they weren't exposed to pirate were. |

mod6 |
ah, yeah maybe jurov was talkin about it. |
| 22:33 |
mircea_popescu |
shinohai the foxybot could prolly be expanded into an actual text client. it has methods to interact with the world mostly written. |
| 22:33 |
mod6 |
the gfx part is certainly part of the exp.; however, if one was to do a lot of bot work, txt would suit just fine. |
| 22:33 |
mircea_popescu |
for instance right now, i actually used the bot to take me to the mining spot, because it does the table trick |
| 22:34 |
mircea_popescu |
which you know, otherwise dragging the materials there by hand... |
| 22:34 |
mod6 |
ah, right. auto-pilot |
| 22:34 |
mircea_popescu |
would be trivial to expand its console commands to cover ~everything in game |
| 22:34 |
mircea_popescu |
mod6 no, no, see now it prevents you from getting overweight when mining through dropping a craft table. it's a thing of wonder |
| 22:35 |
mod6 |
oooh. coolness. |
| 22:35 |
mod6 |
that was always a thing. having to run back to town to store loot |
