asciilifeform: what i ~do~ have a strongly developed allergy to is attempts to redefine minimal expectations using 'new realities'
asciilifeform: understand, i have nothing against proggies that are slow because they are overly ambitious, common lisp on 386, 'quake' on 486-dx2 (i played, 5 frame/sec, yes), etc.
asciilifeform: for now, will tentatively take trinque's word, that it runs in real time on new iron at last.
asciilifeform: neato. i will try this clim, at some point.
asciilifeform: trinque: i was answering 'that's just what you read'
asciilifeform: aaaaha, lolk, it was what i read, what was actually there was proof of fermat's conjecture...
asciilifeform: the implicit claim was that i am somehow 'unreasonably' expecting realtime interaction with comp.
asciilifeform: this is my reaction to clim, and same as to ms word 2010 and related abortions.
asciilifeform: because you KNOW that there used to be cars that did not roast balls, or emit phosgene into cabin.
asciilifeform: you ask, quite reasonably, why all of this is there.
asciilifeform: phf: picture if your car gives out, a decade from now, and you walk into a dealership, grudgingly buying new one. there, you learn that all new cars emit phosgene gas, some of which leaks into the cabin, and you gotta wear a mask. but this does not help against the microwaves that slowly roast yer balls, from the new type of waveguide transmission they use.
asciilifeform: but i also do not know if he has any experience with fast comp.
asciilifeform: unless he is an expert and malicious liar, the game is won.
asciilifeform: the counter to 'i don't feel any delays' is to sit the 'not feeler' in front of wordperfect on msdos and watch his face as he says 'this dun feel any faster'
asciilifeform: who the hell knows, until at least one pwned chump digs up the backorifice and posts.
asciilifeform: and the roi, by any 'sane' measure, is 0.
asciilifeform: because making indigenousbase is, in reality, very, very expensive.
asciilifeform: but the more likely thing is that the money was spent on mercedes and coke, and - they run win98, yes.
asciilifeform: the winblows vista - painted on, for show, for us rubes.
asciilifeform: aha some don't walk. there was a photo leaked of a radar base, where they had one of the few completed elbrus. in the corner desk there was what looked like winblows. nfi, could be hangout, perhaps the 'indigenous base' happened, strictly in ru meta-nsa.
asciilifeform: which seems like great deal, until your pipeline explodes etc.
asciilifeform: ' @GCHQ @Belgacom TheShadowBrokers is making special effort not to using foul language, bigotry, or making any funny. Be seeing if NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX is making stories about now? Maybe political hacks is being more important? '
asciilifeform: might be lulzy to cross-check with phuctor, ben_vulpes's trb nodes' banhammer lists, etc.
asciilifeform reads the linked item and mentally pictures it in 'hollywood ru' nonsense voice from 'red october', 'beautiful mind', and other lulgems of 'languages? we dun do these, school is for phootball'
asciilifeform: and what happens when i wanna plant the thing on bare vga later ?
asciilifeform: only that i barfed mightily the last time i tried to clim.
asciilifeform: i have nfi if it were inherent - or not.
asciilifeform: the 'inherent' thing was phf's observation.
asciilifeform: if proggy's job is to let me fiddle something in real time, there must be 0 palpable delay. you would not put up with a light switch that takes random(5,10) seconds to light, and to switch off.☟︎
asciilifeform: when i ran chirality numbers for al schwartz, it took ~6 mo of cluster. and that's small change.
asciilifeform: then it is fine if it wants to run for a month.
asciilifeform: it is one thing if the proggy's job is to compute molecular dynamics of protein in solvent.
asciilifeform: trinque can use whatever he likes on his box, but if i run a proggy and have to count '1, 2, 3,...' after pressing a key and before seeing screen draw, it goes in the shit bin.
asciilifeform: see, i am willing to buy 10k box, or whatnot, to get fast clim. but i am not willing to close eyes and call a turd sausage.
asciilifeform: '... just over a week before the presidential election, top Democrats are demanding that he level the playing field and disclose what the FBI knows about Republican nominee Donald Trump’s possible ties to the Russian government.'☟︎
asciilifeform: '“I would highly doubt that they’re armed,” he said, “that poses a greater threat. Normally, standard operating procedure for the Secret Service is to never have armed security around our protectee—ever. Even working closely with sworn law enforcement officers around the protectee is a very delicate situation.”' << lel, no word on whether clitler and the monkey disarmed mr t's guards, but... we'll PRETEND! they did. appar☟︎
asciilifeform: 'Throughout the 15 months he’s been running for president, Donald Trump’s campaign has paid private security contractors at least $432,201' << this seems cheap
asciilifeform: if he's using the praetorian guard, we know the endgame
asciilifeform: incidentally here's a possible litmus: did mr t accept the 'free' guards traditionally given to candidates, or keep using own ?
asciilifeform: the last potus who tried to fire plum book folk got kennedied.
asciilifeform: i always wondered if the very sad infrastructure in washington, a kind of frozen-in-time 1970s theme park, is at least partly on account of the expectation that anthill will be leveled 'any day'☟︎
