asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-08#1598945 << afaik the problem of how to archive remains open. i've though about truly dr.mengele-grade solutions: e.g., spin up os-cum-graphic-wwwbrowser in emulator, capture the rendered payload as bitmap, then destroy the universe, each time. treat www as nintendo rom!☝︎☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: i at one point wanted to use the mighty 'super-H' (ss in sega) chip, salivated over the manual, but turned out, all the dev tools from vendor are microshitian, and even the ~example sources~ wouldn't unpack without some microturd
asciilifeform: phf: the part where jp is pathologically, direly, trapped in winblowzland, is actually true.☟︎
asciilifeform: (easier in the sense that the perpetrator does not risk having his withholdchain invalidated by a 'wild' tx being included twice (dun ask me why this would be a concern, but we DO know that they program with arse muscles) or conceivably mined by another
asciilifeform: adlai: there is an even simpler plausible hypothesis - that it is simply easier to build the massive blockwithhold-chains the cartel builds, if one does ~not~ include wild tx-en in'em
asciilifeform: that orbitz was only 1 foot in lisp planet, and had the most cpu-intensive piece in cpp.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: according to dan weinreb (who died a couplea years ago; was one of the key smbx folx, and then -- much later -- also the orbitz air tickets thing) wrote (on his www, that is now vanished, though archive.org might have snapshot),
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the air tickets thing -- worx, i've used it many times, fwiw.
asciilifeform: !~later tell trinque repairs on phuctor are complete and the rss feed again consists strictly of genuinely-phuctored mods. the werker will be re-enabled tonight. it is safe to switch the feed back on.
asciilifeform: there is a very long history of this kind of nonsense that is ~very~ difficult to overlook.
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel_p: understand that 'this product is not for the public, it is for YOUR VEEERY SPESHUL EYES' patternmatches scamolade.
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel_p: notice, for example, that complete schematic, cpld, etc. for FUCKGOATS is posted on www.
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel_p: consider posting, publicly, the ad film. if this enables 'idiot' to immediately replicate your work, then there was not so much to it, neh ?
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel_p: entirely leaving aside the particulars of your product, i must confess that i get an impression that gabriel_laddel_p is not himself entirely certain yet how it is that he wants to do business, and with whom, on what terms.
asciilifeform: well you did use phrase 'republican pockets' rather than ' gabriel_laddel_p's pockets '
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel_p: you want someone among the people here to work as your sales rep ? or wat
asciilifeform: if you ~actually need~ their money, your business model is already catastrophically ill-conceived.
asciilifeform: why do you care what the idiots who would consider bastardized product may or may not do ?
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel_p: what do you suppose might happen if idiots were to get hold of a copy ?
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel_p: it gives an impression that , i suspect, you do not want
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel_p: while we have you on the line, plz consider taking a few min to explain the rationale for 'product is ready for selling' but at the same time 'video is not ready for public eye'
asciilifeform: phf: and i'm pretty sure that mallery is an nsa asset.
asciilifeform: having the physical 3620, was, interestingly enough, ~useless.
asciilifeform: all i got, for the most part, is what is in the wall-o-deadtree manuals, and what i gleaned from reversing 'snap4' binary in ida.☟︎
asciilifeform: some details of the low level arch might be interesting though.
asciilifeform: phf: no rush, it is not as if we had a chip fab in which to make clones, or even particularly want to make clone (i have 0 interest in perpetuating 20 years of mit undergrad young cocklet crapolade code)
asciilifeform: incidentally did phf ever post any of his smbx finds ?
asciilifeform: it was not a wholly bad read, had chip die porn etc.
asciilifeform: i have that paper. it was ~2pgs and about as useful as their sales brochure.
asciilifeform: iirc one of the 'death of symbolics' treatises went on at length about the follow of them NOT having made any attempt to market their chip synthesis stack as a commercial offering
asciilifeform: as the scheme83 chip was never put into commercial production and afaik existed never more than in handful qty.
asciilifeform: also it would astonish me if the build process did NOT depend on having a working cadr around
asciilifeform: and remains buried in indiana jones vault.
asciilifeform: phf: i excavated my binder and found the item you had just linked. where dpl is described in approx same level of detail as eurisko's 'rtl' was in the lenatleaks thing. but i am now beginning to suspect that it got 'symbolicsized', e.g., subsumed into the properties they licensed from mit
asciilifeform: phf: i'ma get back re subj after digging through the dead trees
asciilifeform: phf: yer wrong. i have whole thing in a 3ring here.
asciilifeform: eh i had more than the appropriate measure of sympathy for the poor bugger because laboured under the impression that he, fwiw, was a monster i had an indirect hand in creating
asciilifeform: also gabriel_laddel inspired me to invent new type of aircraft propulsion system. take ordinary house, and SLOWLY & SURELY excavate a few km of earth from underneath it !
