asciilifeform guesses : 'in reconnect bug loop'

~ 3 hours 10 minutes ~

03:13

asciilifeform: myeah; I've deployed now the latest bot too since I had it scheduled anyway (ie pressed to irssi_format vpatch); I synced the few lines with the raw knob; let's see how it goes from now on.

~ 2 hours 1 minutes ~

trinque: I asked (at 8:18 local time, now it's 9:43) deedbot to deed something ( !!deed http://paste.deedbot.org/?id=n6vP ) but it hasn't replied with anything at all; am I doing something wrong there?

05:23

mircea_popescu: ahaha; if I see deedbot popping up in #o too, I'll really have to wonder.

05:23

speaking of which, an' considering we're apparently stuck with a buncha chrises over here : any of your resident knights capable of registering a chan on ~any other network~ and writing the bridge code on top of extant bot already ?

05:25

diana_coman, i didn't see you say !!deed ?

incidentally, thinking more on http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-11#1935600 i have to say this is by and of itself a failure mode of thought.

Logged on 2019-09-11 13:20:48 asciilifeform: diana_coman: i wasn't there, at the tea table, so can't say. but fwiw i suspect he thought 'already written off' .

05:47

while it's true that in principle such a thing as the greek tragedy damnation could exist in reality (or whatever, its shitty hollywood renditions), nevertheless ~this is a point for the gods alone~. it is not a symbol representable in the mind of man ; all attempts to do so are they themselves doomed to failure.

05:47

trying to meta-smart, pseudothinking in your dumb head "if i were a literary character and these things happened to me, what'd it mean about the script" will not only fail to deliver any useful predictions (in the sense that it'll work EXACTLY as well as a RNG-choice, to perfectly fuck you over), but it will actually prevent you from deriving any benefits from the circumstance you're NOT a fucking literary character.

05:47

http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-17#1937164 exists ~in reality~, but not in fiction ; and there's a very good reason anne's not a literary character you ever met : it's "hard" to write, meaning, writing's LIMITING.

05:47

everyone sitting on ass all day tryna write THE STORY of their life results in some very limited, sad broken wrecks of lives -- because that's the one thing about fiction : to write a story, you first and foremost and necessarily MUST CUT MOST LIFE OUT.

05:47

Logged on 2019-09-17 15:34:18 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, the failure in this thinking is that "smart boi wants to use his smarts in war".

05:47

mircea_popescu is hoping we've got all this pretty well ironed out by now, seeing how this threatens to become exponential over time.

06:29

mircea_popescu: it's still those darned lines from *before the bot*, arrrgh; and there is no such thing as "irssi format", no matter how I look at it.

06:29

aha
