billymg: i wouldn't mind going there either

billymg: i'm hindered by my ESLness and spanish seems like one of the easier languages to pick up, so that factors somewhat into where i'm looking

mp_en_viaje: i expect an ad in whatever nova scotia shit paper go for 10-20 bucks, wtf.

a111: Logged on 2019-06-26 10:33 diana_coman: what can I say, to me it reads over-and-over again like all the group-thinking ever did: if we do it, it's all right because we are ALL doing it, if s/he does it, it is wrong because it's outside the group

asciilifeform: hm i read billymg's q as re where ought he to take up residence.

asciilifeform: ( and ftr i suspect that orlol aint wrong when he suspects that ukrs + usg handlers might try an' stage an 'accident' to score 'humanitarian' aid )

mp_en_viaje: i didn't propose run a business, esp public facing.

asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2014-12-10#949583 is what i was thinking ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2019-06-26 18:57 bvt: i have never worked with slip, so can't tell right now

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I'm talking the US-fugees

billymg: not the line of work i pictured myself in but this is making it sound more interesting

mp_en_viaje: get yourself support locally, too. there's a few remnant pantsui torgs that need strangling ; i murdered one there's just a few left. they must be publicly raped, and then get the repubkican style institutions going. ☟︎

billymg: and fill as many gaps in my knowledge -- technical, lingual, personal -- as i can

billymg: in terms of what i'd see myself doing, i think the most important task for the rest of my life is to protect my keys, if i can do that then i should be fine

mp_en_viaje: billymg, lotta people do that, i'd sat 40% actually make any money. like, ever.

billymg: i also thought of a small b&b in tamarindo, to generate income, plus something else with more acreage to live on further inland. i also know a girl here, who already speaks spanish and is entrepreneurial herself, who could be relied upon to run such a b&b

mp_en_viaje: businesswise i dunno, if you have some kinda insider tip then it may work for you ; but in the general i suspect cr is actually overbought as it stands, and while the effect may be least noticeable in the rural edges, there's a reason for this -- marginality dampens, meaning the tiny sliver of overboughtness spilled all the way to over there is actually fair and market supported, meaning good times won't propagate any better.

mp_en_viaje: billymg, on a personal note i fucking hate puntarenas ; rural shithole, terrible services, connects by boat to nicoya which idem rural shithole, terrible services.

bvt: i have never worked with slip, so can't tell right now ☟︎

asciilifeform: i suspect that 'slip' would suffice for most purposes, and keep the thing simple.

bvt: re rtc -- i can see that. re network - i guess at some point it may be easier to provide a (first, emulated, later hardwarized) pipe device and write a custom driver to it; basically a high-speed tty that also transfers information about message boundaries

asciilifeform: bvt: re mipsism -- i realized that the emulator will need , at minimum, a realtime clock, to be actually useful for general-purpose linuxism. ( the minimal draft item simulates only two devices aside from cpu/ram -- serial uart, and power/reset switch )

bvt: well, building is actually trivial -- sed 's/aarch64 x86_64/x86_64 mipsel-sf/' build-ada-arm64.sh > build-ada-mipsel.sh ; i'll do a post about this, but this'd be all the technical meat in it

billymg: i'm thinking cr because it's already been vetted, but i admit i'm not sure yet what would be best for me, i just know i should get out

billymg: so i'm planning to give my two weeks notice next week so i can focus on actual work. i'm also going to be looking for property on the other side of the wire

bvt: if you want, can share the tarballs as well. afaik mips also uses zcx by default -- i did not change anything there

bvt: asciilifeform: i have built ave1gnat with mipsel-sf support with a small patch (http://bvt-trace.net/src/gcc-4.9.adacore2016-4-mipsel.diff) -- adacore has snipped those files from their source distribution.

billymg: his, i believe one, other book, the neon bible, also not bad

asciilifeform: i recall somewhere a discussion of 'voraphiles', where author sorted'em into 2 distinct subspecies, one which wants to be properly eaten & digested, but another, distinct type, which wants to live 'as jonah in whale', as a foetus-like parasite

asciilifeform: iirc there exists a 'fetish' set who dream of... being eaten by cannibals. i never grasped exactly how this worx, psychologically, but entirely possib that 'is proof of my deliciousness!'

mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, indeed, i suspect we agree. "to have loved and never lost is not so much like having ever loved at all", there's a certain insufficiency of feeling requiring the cripple to die defeated and alone.

asciilifeform: i find it interesting, how typical sovok orc is incurable believer in 'skip icecream cone, save the dough', and that it is ~more~ common among the older folx, who in fact watched 1, 2, or even 3 episodes of 100% evaporation of savings during 'currency rebasings' etc

mp_en_viaje: i see the same thing.

asciilifeform: to tie into 'alexander & pirate' thrd, i'm hard pressed to see any diff b/w what this d00d did and what everyday biz at e.g. goldman sachs consists of

a111: Logged on 2019-06-26 09:15 mp_en_viaje: and btw, why doesn't the qntra select work, i have to use archive /

BingoBoingo: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-26#1920121 << I'll try shimming the select script in. Qntra is still on a not quite mp-wp fork due to the DB changes that happened between mp-wp and qntra-wp forking from derppress ☝︎

mp_en_viaje: the problem here is that the posturing contains some element of intellectual superiority. "you rob one ship -- dumbly, because dumb. i ''''rob''' a thousand, so well they beg me to keep on robbing and weep when i give it all up and leave."

asciilifeform: 'i rob with one ship, you -- with thousand' or how did it go.

mp_en_viaje: so i turn on the tv, first channel is vox music, ace of base, "all that she wants"

diana_coman: i.e. right/wrong is all about whether it's "one of us" or not, nothing to do with anything else.

diana_coman: what can I say, to me it reads over-and-over again like all the group-thinking ever did: if we do it, it's all right because we are ALL doing it, if s/he does it, it is wrong because it's outside the group ☟︎

diana_coman: I suppose it makes sense as moving on from pretending to learn to pretending to do /serve as there's nothing else apparently.

mp_en_viaje: and btw, why doesn't the qntra select work, i have to use archive / ☟︎

asciilifeform: ( i noticed e.g. that old world oak, with the correct!1111 'long' acorn, is not found in new world. and doubt that it is because no one tried to plant.. )

mp_en_viaje: i can see it, if you can live in wash dc, can luive anywhere

mp_en_viaje: i expect you;d notice cutting up cardboard is what "students" do there. by the time "technology" is an oil drum sawed in half for "parilla"...

mp_en_viaje: i expect you'd notice the sudden absence of a technical world.

mp_en_viaje: i'm also not that into rape. for the exact same reasons, too. who the fuck can be bothered ?

mp_en_viaje: i'm not that into terraforming tbh.

mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, i told a cab driver the "going to moscow" pildulski joke.

asciilifeform: ( i.e. fondled ~twice~ )

asciilifeform: sumthing that i never before saw

mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, i also have been toying with the idea of doing a http://trilema.com/2012/filozoful-blogomirea-editie-revazuta-adaugita-si-completata/#selection-123.0-125.52 for a few years myself. "what'd happen to trilema if it reviewed itself ???"

mp_en_viaje: not gonna do a fucking novel, i tell you that. i might put up the details re the bait & switch "hotel" / scam, but atm waiting to see what the police say and for report on list of various authorities that could be induced to inspect the shithole.

mp_en_viaje: if you find it i will read it.

mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, i never read that part. is it on your site ?

mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, i suspect you might be very right re the oil. we used to think the problem ruining argentina was you know, heat. "it never freezes here, of course they're all bums". but norway freezes plenty -- so i kinda don't see the heat theory anymore.

mp_en_viaje: and i've been everywhere. norway first at something!

mp_en_viaje: incidentally : one should absolutely not trust any norwegian. assholes scam like they breathe ; i dunno why various africans have a bad reputation, i have literally never been scammed by a hotel before, ever.

mp_en_viaje: anyway : my flight got delayed ; this marks the longest i ever spent in an airport

a111: Logged on 2019-06-25 14:56 asciilifeform wonders if they have 'прописка' in norway. i.e. where must Officially register place of residence with polizei erry time changing flats

a111: Logged on 2019-06-25 08:35 mp_en_viaje: anyone remember which trilema i delved into a discussion of the separation of pay / benefit and how it drives up costs ?

a111: Logged on 2019-06-25 13:15 mp_en_viaje: http://archive.is/0bdxh#selection-227.514-227.602 << item. and btw, nobody (as in, the various eaterias) in airport has wifi, because "the airport has wifi". which it does -- i think the whole thing runs off a dial-up modem, i'm getting 5kb/s over here. so much for "internet weks".

a111: Logged on 2019-06-25 13:43 mp_en_viaje: i was the only one actually looking to dress a criminal complaint, everyone else mostly doing bureaucratica, picking up OFFICIAL PAPERS, some dood checking if his driving license is good...

a111: Logged on 2019-06-25 06:24 ave1: asciilifeform, past week I was trying to get sjlj to build (also for aarch64)

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-25#1919884 << a working gnat for 'mipsel' would also be pretty great. ( i tried at one pt, coupla yrs ago, for 'pic32mx' processor, got stuck on some barf ) ☝︎

asciilifeform wonders if they have 'прописка' in norway. i.e. where must Officially register place of residence with polizei erry time changing flats ☟︎

mp_en_viaje: evidently enough most of their fare's not actually of a police nature, judging by how i passed two filters in five minutes.

mp_en_viaje: i was the only one actually looking to dress a criminal complaint, everyone else mostly doing bureaucratica, picking up OFFICIAL PAPERS, some dood checking if his driving license is good... ☟︎☟︎

diana_coman: huh, I had no idea ; I assumed you could get the yeast, hm.

diana_coman: I was quite surprised at that thing - wtf fly bread from italy all the way to cr; I mean: why wouldn't they be able to bake it on the spot and even better at that? it must be easier to fly the grains/flour if anything but other than that ffs it's just flour and water; can even fly water if needed

mp_en_viaje: and i don't fucking buy it, either, because wtf, the harem bakes. but it's ~good~.

mp_en_viaje: however, the problem is one of raw materials, i suspect. because even their ethnic places suck balls.

mp_en_viaje: i dunno there exists a place this bad in the world. previously england was my mark of "worst food in the world" ; but london's nothing like oslo.

mp_en_viaje: http://archive.is/0bdxh#selection-227.514-227.602 << item. and btw, nobody (as in, the various eaterias) in airport has wifi, because "the airport has wifi". which it does -- i think the whole thing runs off a dial-up modem, i'm getting 5kb/s over here. so much for "internet weks". ☟︎

diana_coman: that's pretty much what it instantly made me think of: those bread-queues running around 3 blocks of flats up and down the whole neighbourhood; except I was miserable then even playing while waiting in the queue and I doubt any of those in there was NOT miserable

mp_en_viaje: anyone remember which trilema i delved into a discussion of the separation of pay / benefit and how it drives up costs ? ☟︎

diana_coman: myeah, sadly I have seen that before over and over again

ave1: I work in an (not software) engineering company, the difference in professionality between software and everything else is large

diana_coman: probably I should even feel old, huh.

diana_coman: I must say that I got totally fed up precisely with "software engineering" some 10 years ago and I doubt it got anything other than worse meanwhile so no surprise there

ave1: I have no idea, they seem to not even have read a book

ave1: As for work, I'm doing more management

a111: Logged on 2019-06-25 06:29 ave1: Development always seems to go backward while I am doing this, until suddenly I see where the problem is.

diana_coman: ave1: found it but I think it was just precisely how we realised that it's broken on arm http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-15#1897027 ☝︎

ave1: Development always seems to go backward while I am doing this, until suddenly I see where the problem is. ☟︎

ave1: diana_coman, Thanks, I will look for it (I had problems like these before with other steps last year)

diana_coman: ave1: I remember I got something like that, should be in the logs.

ave1: asciilifeform, past week I was trying to get sjlj to build (also for aarch64) ☟︎

diana_coman: in snake-pit "surprises" since I still have a github account, I just received a notification that a "first-party GitHub" application was recently authorized to access your account; I suppose it's nice of them to notify.

asciilifeform: trinque: i used not long ago a recent huawei lappy. same irons as top-of-line crapple, 1/3 the cost, and 10x less fan whine.

asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i 99% expect it ~will~ get snipped from the asm branch.

asciilifeform: bvt: what i meant is, the optimal asmistic base case is not necessarily comba. could be 'micro' karatsuba, or even straight schoolbook mul. for so long as asm.

bvt: i agree. i played a bit with the code, arrived at slightly cleaner (and sub-1% faster) code for multiplication, seems that the performance is close to the hw limit (at least at 32 Indices Comba-Karatsuba threshold)

asciilifeform: so, entirely useless for the given problem, near as i can see

bvt: asciilifeform: myeah, i was too fast with sse -- simdifying such loops would be ~impossible.

asciilifeform: ( interestingly, this does ~not~ work out to a 'runs at effectively 1/30th the native clock', on acct of this effect. but i won't spoil this yet.) ☝︎

asciilifeform: funnily enuff, i think that 12kB actually weighs less than the human-readable text i've shat into the log re subj !

asciilifeform: item is nao in a condition where i can safely unload it from head & return to wrapping up ch20.
