| diana_coman: | my understanding was that the logbot was the part one might want to run on its own | [04:08] |
| spyked: | diana_coman, tbh I'm not sure, so I'm posing it as a question. there's also prolly some merit to the idea of each bot having, optionally, a logotron attached to it (since it's already listening...) | [04:38] |
| spyked: | as things stand currently, http://thetarpit.org/posts/y05/080-botworks-regrind.html#selection-311.98-311.247 is true, but logging and responding to commands/voicing aren't ~necessarily~ mutually exclusive | [04:39] |

| mp_en_viaje: | but i can readily see what was confusing : sometimes the leaps get to be too great to follow. this future where c/c++/c#/javascript/whatever such are relegated to their rightful place is so fucking distant, even merely talking of it likely smacks of lunacy to most anyone. | [07:20] |

| mp_en_viaje: | there's nothing in nature as fucking dumb as people can get once they start trying to not leave any children behind. | [07:24] |
| mp_en_viaje: | granted, my old style library i grew up with was two to three degrees of magnitude larger than 9mb but it sure as fuck took a bunch of people way the fuck more than 15 hours to stitch it all together. and there's 60 seconds in a minute, not 10, and there's 60 minutes in an hour, not ten. and so the fuck on. | [07:26] |

| mp_en_viaje: | so yes, he's right : description of the "what's wrong with it" could go on for a long time but the cause is that everything's wrong with it, each juncture, because being wrong on the left and then on the right in quick succession's just a summed up list of being wrong this way and that yet wrong nevertheless. | [07:45] |
