asciilifeform: incl. for a 2gb rk box
spyked: asciilifeform, unfortunately 2GB (max. supported by motherboard) might still not be enuff. ideally I would plug in ave1 gnat build and use it to build a minimal system, but will prolly have to bootstrap the whole thing on another machine. ☟︎
diana_coman: ugh; I hate rats as it is, no need for bigger ones; that being said, I can already picture the euloran "stan's layr" complete with lumber-electronics a la http://ossasepia.com/2018/06/26/euloras-own-cr50/ and weird rats/trash pandas to fight for resources.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: iirc we had thrd re 'trash panda' ; picture aggressive 20kg rat, eats e.g. cat, tunnels through drywall, w/out breaking a sweat
asciilifeform: i nealy asked 'why wouldja shoot a hedgehog' but then reread lol
diana_coman: I had only one instance of a crow-eating-eyes-out-of-roadkill-hedgehog but I was sadly in a hurry and by the time I came back there was no trace of it left
a111: Logged on 2019-04-17 16:24 asciilifeform: unrelatedly : phf , iirc you signed a coupla ch of ffa prior to the keccak regrind. didja ever sign the reground chs ?
spyked: meanwhile, asciilifeform's lappie arrived last week, I'ma encuntooate it soon. I expect it'll be a bit of a challenge to compile on 1GB of RAM: cuntoo bootstrapping sadly requires building gcc-5, which iirc asks for more than that. either way, I'ma put this on the list as the next item to document.
a111: Logged on 2017-04-11 01:57 asciilifeform: mod6: if you want to talk to a ttl-usb serial dongle, you gotta match one of the classical baud rates, or you get rubbish (and not the desired rubbish, either, but patterned rubbish -- or nothing at all)
asciilifeform: potentially a long-term cure for ye olde headache with fg's ttl plugs. ☝︎
asciilifeform: some fella sat for a year , grunting it out, sorta like asciilifeform in 2012 did -- for a now-extinct chip
asciilifeform: via BingoBoingo's link, moar epidemi-lulz -- measles apparently nao is a thing in BingoBoingostan
mp_en_viaje: then if he goes on to pittsburg, becomes less impressed by akron, and then on to new york and even less impressed by either p or a ; and then on to whatever, europe, where they have sane heating and sane window systems and no town in the us can ever satisfy again, becasuse why would these morons use wrong windows omfg wtf is wrong with people. and so on and so following.
billymg: sorry, meant that as a question before fingers slipped on the keys
billymg: it was only after bitcoin that it started feeling more like a prison with decent room service than anything else
billymg: it was already full disneyified when i arrived circa 2010, but my eyes weren't yet open and i still saw it as this infinite place compressed into a few hundred square miles
mp_en_viaje: new york's such a sad story
billymg: so, relatedly, may be mia for a few weeks coming up before logging back on from trinque/ben_vulpes country
billymg: i need a vacation too, but next up for me is escape from ny, which i'm perhaps looking forward to even more
mp_en_viaje is working on a mega travel article, in other news.

a111: Logged on 2019-03-31 19:37 billymg: this _may_ be a result of the patch, in which case a regression. will dig in
a111: Logged on 2019-03-31 19:26 mircea_popescu: billymg, : "Size Thumbnail Medium Large Full size (560 × 420)" only permits me the 560x420 upload. ideally should have also a thumbnail or two, you know ? sometimes that works better. i suspect this comes from settings
billymg: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-03-31#1906362 http://btcbase.org/log/2019-03-31#1906383 << for anyone waiting in suspense, i was able to confirm that this was _not_ a regression from the patch removing tinymce ☝︎☝︎
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-18#1909099 << this is actually the important side-effect of correctly made exemplars -- that they're exemplary. "if you're familiar with the exemplar, neither will you be surprised in a new land by something that oughta be there but you didn't think of it, nor by something that oughtn't be there and you thought it oughta." ☝︎
diana_coman tends to write pen on paper when figuring things out which is a pain re publishing afterwards
asciilifeform: fwiw i suspect that not only the diagrams, but the text, is optional : it aint a very complicated proggy, and patient reader could in principle grasp it w/out a cribsheet
diana_coman: fwiw I start with the algebra and only then, if I need to, I will refer to - better yet, make my own - diagrams; in this case my note was simply a reminder "diagrams there do not match internals + shift_left/right convention here so do own/flip/ignore"
asciilifeform: possibly there's a deeper 'meta' point in this thread, i.e. that the final stage of fitting a mechanism in-head, is when you rewrite it with own hands, in the notation of ~your~ choice, so that the orig author's arbitrary conventions (and it is impossible to write anyffin nontrivial w/out ~some~ personal convention) dun rub the skin off yer feet.
asciilifeform: folx who do not like that the e.g. ch10 electrical diagram goes left-right , can a) draw own b) look strictly at the algebra , as asciilifeform did when wrote it to begin with , i do not have a year to spend on redrawing'em mirrored.
asciilifeform: folx who dun like that ada asks you to write arrays low ... high , can make own lang and write arithmetron for selves in it, it is not a priority for asciilifeform and i dun see an argument for making it one.
asciilifeform: there's no 'endianism' in the proggy, there is not a possibility that tape written on 1 box is interpreted differently on another, by design. this is the beginning and end imho of correct approach to the q.
mod6: Well, fwiw, I'm trying to not load in any Cisms or other pantsuit liquidshit into my understanding of FFA. So when reading it, I'm trying to approach it somewhat like a babe. And I thought that I had it at least, mentally fitting in my head the way it is today.
asciilifeform: i'll add, however, that ffa does not use byte-addressing or bit-addressing, if you were to build a machine where either is in whatever direction, and write a (standard-compliant) ada for it, ffa will work same way.
asciilifeform: the q, if there even is a q, is re what convention of order to write array range in. ada forces the low-to-high left-to-right.
asciilifeform: often enuff the bits are stored interleaved via some satanic scheme, and aint even contiguous on a single die or ram stick etc
asciilifeform: there is not a physical left or right that actually corresponds to it.
mod6: So if what I had previously believed above is true, and it would seem to considering my understanding of FZ_Add for instance, then "most junior bits on the left" makes sense to me, but "FZ_Get_Head" seems perhaps a bit confusing. Although, when I typically "getHead()" or "getTail()" I expect to get the 0-ith index, or the nth, respectively.
mod6: Ok, so maybe you can help me out here. I always looked at an FZ as an array of Words, or a Stack if one prefers to look at it this way. Where, if I'm going to make an FZ number '4', it would be set in the array like (i'll use 4 bits per word to save space):
mod6: And before I comment a whole bunch further, her notes make me rethink what I had thought I had known about. So I'll try to grab some time soon and load these things back into my head.
mod6: Seems ok to me on my horiz display, and seems to also be ok on vert on a mobile browser
mod6: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-17#1908842 << Thank you! Yeah, caught a glimpse of this, very nice graphs indeed, diana_coman. ☝︎
bvt: thank you, this is a great honor to me
BingoBoingo: In local "Florida Man" (Except in Rio Negro because the local Florida is boring) https://www.elobservador.com.uy/nota/el-ladron-de-la-mascara-de-hulk-que-tiene-en-vilo-a-young-201941718159
asciilifeform: the historical meaning ( and iirc diana_coman pointed this out in the piece ) is simply from how european writes a number, left to right, e.g. 10, bin 1010 >> 1 is 101 (5) , the motion being to the right
asciilifeform: it is entirely possible tho , to grasp the material w/out them ( diana_coman apparently did -- or used a mirror ? i do not know )
mp_en_viaje: anyway, the sluts are up (how the fuck can they be up at 6 am after being marched all over town yest is anyone's guess, but facts be facts) so ima take them for a nude hotel photoshoot. bbl.
mp_en_viaje: "oh but mp, that wouldn't be fair!!!". quite. who the fuck ever played fair and wasn't a complete and utter moron ? women play fair, and women only. but they're biologically constrained to this, they ony do it because they're trying to get pregnant. i'm not trying to get pregnant.
a111: Logged on 2019-04-17 22:40 asciilifeform: i suppose could even argue that the chinese chip folx suffer from a variant of this -- they drank enuff usg.coolaid to begin to think that they, too, could 'make money from intellectualproperty(tm) just like miami'
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-17#1908978 << quite. who the fuck wants to compete with the redskins AS A REDSKIN. let them fucking die out, jesus. ☝︎
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: at this pt i'm not even convinced that there ~is~, or could be, a 'chinese strategy', or 'they want..' -- these folx have not developed a with-what to want , whole edifice reduces to individual party-appointed directors' desire for miami ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2019-03-07 22:33 mircea_popescu: this is the truth pantsuit vehehehery carefully tiptoes around every time they're "discussing" usg's foreign policy outlay : usg is a chinese vassal, it has to ask for permission.
mp_en_viaje: there's two kids in the "prodigal son" fable. one's the moron that stays home, and aspires for his dad to give him the blessing of dadhood, and of manhood, and everything else, through fucking laying of the hands. that's the fucktard's idea, that he'll stay home with dad and pray that the substance of dad be bestowed upon him through fucking vegetative process. like a woman's exactly!
mp_en_viaje: so proceeding by similarity : the chinese ~could have~ done what we do, except decades earlier, and as a result ~truly~ confiscated intellectual activity from pantsuit morons.
BingoBoingo watching Peruana break down a chicken with ceramic knife (a tool she is very aware does not serve for prying)
asciilifeform: iirc mircea_popescu had a piece re how 'the people w/out balls, they do not want Anything to Happen; they want to hum along.' that's china in 1 sentence.
asciilifeform: i suppose could even argue that the chinese chip folx suffer from a variant of this -- they drank enuff usg.coolaid to begin to think that they, too, could 'make money from intellectualproperty(tm) just like miami' ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2018-04-06 20:59 asciilifeform: iirc mircea_popescu had a piece about how troobelievers in 'rule of law' will set themselves up into ridiculously doomed situations, where they fixate on some technicality, like changing their names to punctuation marks or somesuch, that Will Surely Crash The System
mp_en_viaje: if they had any fucking sense they'd be doing pretty much everything at least slightly differently, and a lot of things quite very differently ; but then again the exact same could be said of spanish conquistadors, or medieval crusaders, or british imperial administration, or zee fucking reich.
mp_en_viaje: guish a pruning kit from a mohel's tools.
a111: Logged on 2019-04-17 19:26 asciilifeform: in principle it would be trivial to bake a standardized, commoditized fpga. the 'gowin' people could have easily done this, an' published the interconnect scheme and the delay map. BUT what no one knows how to do, is to make this a +ev proposition. observe, the chinese had no interest in trying to commoditize , but instead went 'we'll do exactly what xilinx does but slightly cheaper , out of chinesium'
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-17#1908807 << guaranteedly no thought went into any of this. the http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-16#1467290 proprietor of a previously transylvanian saxon-owned property including an acre of orchard that wasn't properly pruned failing to properly prune the damned trees isn't proof positive "nobody could turn tree pruning into +ev activty". the fucktarded gypo doesn't even know what the fuck an orchard is, nor could distin ☝︎☝︎
BingoBoingo: What a clock
mp_en_viaje: and speaking of tiny dicks : EVERYONE IN ROMANIA GOES ABOUT WITH A THIMBLE BETWEEN THEIR LEGS.
mp_en_viaje: the de-moronification of short little men with slanty eyes and tiny dicks makes the turning of all us suburban mall rats into virtuoso concert pianists a picnic of a task.
mp_en_viaje: and then they went and built a "banking" stack on it.
asciilifeform: china, in case anyone was thick enuff not to yet notice, is not therepublic; it's a cheap chinesium clone of 'vhs' usg.
mp_en_viaje: satoshi's a paragon of elegance in that context.
mp_en_viaje: i dunno, a goose laid it on me.
a111: Logged on 2019-04-10 16:35 mp_en_viaje looks at the wonder. it's something else, requires adobe air, atop a lengthy pile of other bullshit. the comments "#added by yong wong" in the ~100kb init.sh (that ~requires root~) are the lulz of all time.
asciilifeform: 'they hoped for "a new spire that is adapted to the techniques and the challenges of our era"' << lol!!
mp_en_viaje: obama's just a retarded monkey. "clifford wolf", now that;s actual poison.
mp_en_viaje: and the EXACT same goes for linus. because if deedbot comes out with 0, you know ~for a fact~ schmuck's running a bait and switch scheme, waiting for anon tards to donate their wikipedia editing to him so he can donate it to some "code of conduct" femstate tards down the line.
mp_en_viaje: it is WORSE than not doing anything at all. much like poisoned meat is worse than a similar sized rock.
mp_en_viaje: the world is truly better off without linus, without this dork, without all of them. better a frank dark age than more of this twittercrap.
mp_en_viaje: all these 40-something white dudes with a lengthy "conferences" resume and a buncha typical assorted retardation. not useful, cordially invited to http://trilema.com/2016/asscience/ it.
BingoBoingo: No reason not to post trees and birds more often. This week they butchered the trees on my street, but they'll grow back still gnarlier copices and pollards. It's a thing of charm.
asciilifeform: i have nfi either way. ( in fact had nfi that he ~had~ a piggy )
BingoBoingo: * asciilifeform doesn't post much travel photo on acct of... it'd be like a dog posting food pics. 'omfg errything here was Built By People! and not josephsmiths! omfg have you seen a light post like this?' etc << iirc you still have good chunk of Bingoboingistan on your camera roll
mp_en_viaje: not that i don't have a guess.
asciilifeform: walking across europistan isn't a mp_en_viaje-strictly activity because expensive. but because takes time.
mp_en_viaje: "I should just burn it all down and start something completely fresh. I always thought CFD combustion models are super fascinating. Maybe I'll do that next. Or maybe I'll just drop off the grid, get a regular job, and write EDA software just for me and nobody else. Fuck FOSS EDA. " << i wonder what happened there.
mp_en_viaje: it wasn't that bad, like a hundred bucks worth or so.
asciilifeform: and pics are great, i suspect most of these 'everythings' i will only see if mp_en_viaje finds time to make a pic of'em.
asciilifeform doesn't post much travel photo on acct of... it'd be like a dog posting food pics. 'omfg errything here was Built By People! and not josephsmiths! omfg have you seen a light post like this?' etc
asciilifeform: erry time i try an' connect via somewhere-interesting it seems to add a digit to price
mp_en_viaje: lotta little good things, you know, like... go for a ~hour danube trip, have a bottle of wine on boat.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: re 'Natural' type -- this is one of asciilifeform's persistent headaches -- the lang forces certain things to be indexed by 'Natural', and i optimized for minimal # of casts ( i fucking hate casts, and imho the fact that one cannot write a proggy ENTIRELY without'em, is a language bug )
mp_en_viaje: i mean here, the chicks are a pleasure. cosmetics store clerks are like, running more of a club in the g0d damned store than the average costa rican strip club
asciilifeform: re the range-independent thing -- it is part of a larger picture, summarized in http://www.loper-os.org/?p=2892#selection-231.1-391.71 ( in turn from an earlier diana_coman thread, in fact . )
asciilifeform: tho i do suspect that i did introduce certain knobs before there was strictly a need to do so, solely on acct of imperfect plan ( recall, most of the proggy through ch10 or so, pre-existed the start of the human-readable series )
asciilifeform: diana_coman: re the stylistic nitpicks : there'll defo be a tail-end ch where various items get moar descriptive names. and i agree with diana_coman's pt re e.g. 'Get_Head'
asciilifeform: diana_coman: a++, will read, and will roll the sigs into next ch
BingoBoingo: Just wondering what a market could look like if USG didn't burn a trillon or so over the decade promoting shit
asciilifeform: asic is a high enuff risk biz that the people who do it, are conservative to the point of 'if this exact thing hasn't been done before, fughetaboutit' ☟︎
asciilifeform: ( tho iirc there was an actual attempt to organize 1, they launched a crate or 2 of fist-sized beepbeeps into deliberately burns-in-coupla-months orbit )
asciilifeform: sorta why there aint a 'open sores satellite launcher' firm, etc
asciilifeform: you can't make chip fab cheaper by asking it to live in group house 15 cucks to a room and to eat recycled noodles.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the reason why there aint a linux-style derpfoundation in ironware, is elementary
bvt: i see; if vendor can subvert the chip in nonobvious way by changing delays organizing a military style приемка would be the only option for actually using the devices
