asciilifeform: hey you're ahead of me, i never even got comments to work at all in my copy of mp-wp
ave1: Hmm, I'm using mp-wp and I cannot find a setting that is supposed to scrub links or allow them. I am looking into it... ☟︎
asciilifeform: ave1: please see the paste ?
asciilifeform: srsly this is nogood.
asciilifeform: WHERE THE FUCK DID MY LINK GO
asciilifeform: ok seems to work nao...
asciilifeform: fix the commentbox.
asciilifeform: pleez test it yourself ave1 ? then say 'fixed'
ave1: asciilifeform: Comments should work now, I can also put this comment in if you like (name == asciilifeform?)
asciilifeform: ave1: the comment itself : http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/3z67x/?raw=true
asciilifeform: lemme know when it is possible to put a comment..
ave1: I'm sorry for this
ave1: I see change did happen, but still failed the test, one sec...
asciilifeform: I FILLED IN THE FIELDS
ave1: Will work on wording! It was meant as "Take very good care to check out this one"
ave1: I'll remove the website check, probable does not do much anyway
ave1: aha, I made the check for the email to a check for the website (needs to be 6 chars long)
asciilifeform: ave1: 'are we lucky this is correct' implies that item was written through the arse, and only 'works by accident', this is not so.
asciilifeform: 'Look at the summation, the sum is (A+B) + Carry, but the next carry is determined by just A, B and the Sum. Are we lucky this is correct?' << work it out on paper.
asciilifeform: "Do we need Word_Index or Indices?8". << yes, for proof of nonoverflow. and in general wherever i saw it possible to constrain a type, i constrained it. and will continue doing so.
asciilifeform: 'why not use the pragma Provide_Shift_Operators?' << it doesn't work on gnat2016, try it
asciilifeform: ( not to mention WBool, present in ch1, is constrained to arithmetize on 1bit. but indeed Word is smallest physical unit used, there is no byte-addressing in ffa )
asciilifeform: but i suppose you'll get to it at own pace.
asciilifeform: ave1: 'Word is the smallest unit used for the arithmetic in FFA' is not strictly true, there is a HalfWord ( see ch9 )
asciilifeform: ave1: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-29#1777969 << can i persuade you to put this link in a comment to ch1 ? ☝︎
ave1: Which makes the process a stupid trying / building / running / failing exercise.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-29 01:38 asciilifeform yet again, for 3rd time in 2 yrs, attempted and failed to build a 'zero foot print runtime' for gnat -- to abolish the 3MB of liquishit it shits into every executable.
asciilifeform: we're doomed to fork gnat eventually
ave1: Ofcourse, I did not want to dive deep into the code of gcc and gnat
ave1: In the end it took only a small set of changes, but finding these was no fun...
asciilifeform still has not replicated this marvel
asciilifeform: ave1: were you able to build ?
ave1: I'm enjoying the series a lot! (I've now just read ch2 and starting to ingest it...)
asciilifeform: shinohai: i have added a link to your mirror in http://www.loper-os.org/?p=2211 , ty
asciilifeform: thinking of switching to a 2week interval; these are not coming out quite the way i want'em ☟︎
spyked: hm. it seems that the browser (firefox on my side) sets default encoding to "western" for plain txt files; setting it to unicode makes it look normal
asciilifeform: hard to picture how else it could end up like this.
asciilifeform: is it in some ancient pre-uniturd coding, analogous to ru koi8 ?
shinohai: but in mircea_popescu's original, I also see strange things
asciilifeform: it has bitrot in it tho
jhvh1: shinohai: The operation succeeded.
shinohai: !~later tell mats can report that https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/MIPS/ERLite-3 works flawless, no luck on openbsd
xenmen_: (The catch-up, that is; rereading older material I spread over a few weeks to a month)
mircea_popescu: how long does it take you to catch up ?
xenmen_: I come by ~once a year, an annual tradition, to reread
lobbes: Note that this refers to the sha1sum of the -.zip- only and not to the -contents- (i.e. should only be used to verify integrity of .zips recieved via the eventual .zip delivery process)
lobbes: Added sha1 checksum values for the .zips to show in archive search results >> http://lobbesblog.com/queryarchive/view.php?searchterm=example&sortby=
mircea_popescu: humans may be headed that way.
asciilifeform: for some reason all that comes to mind tho is that 1 fish where the ~male~ attaches, parasitizes, and jettisons the now-useless fins, mouth, arse, digestive tract, etc
mircea_popescu: imagine the cloud of parasites, you know ?
asciilifeform: pretty sure there is >1 species of fish where -- this
mircea_popescu: aaand in other "guess what sf ideas i got", what if females had no tits, but instead they grew these almond-sized blobs of semi-hard fat on their neck, sorta like corn nibblets on the cobb, and kids just you know, nibbled their neck.
asciilifeform: the item mircea_popescu gave, 'dex', is also on the conveyor, but will prolly have to wait for peacetime
asciilifeform noticed that the ro_eng_ascii.txt w4r3z was a mega-popular item in the machine log , for quite some time, and so went to put this flag on it.
mircea_popescu: "lost all his vaginal teeth and instestinal hairs"
asciilifeform: 'he was exposed to 300 gRomns, expired in convulsions'
asciilifeform: i gotta admit, i picture them as units, like e.g. rems
jhvh1: asciilifeform: The operation succeeded.
asciilifeform: !~later tell trinque do you have a working gnat on ppc (g5 or any other) ? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: apparently i was drunker than i thought.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform fixt ty
mircea_popescu: behold, that there was an empty lot with a lot of hungry people in it that then later became a restaurant.
asciilifeform: and that the python example uses both of'em, to test the entire width of the multiplier. and works.
asciilifeform: observe that * produces ~two~ FZ onto the stack, not one.
asciilifeform: phf: why didja truncate to the ffa bitness ?
asciilifeform: phf: chew this apart for me ?
phf: asciilifeform: so i spent a long time on your homework since it's a kind of trick question, but the naive solution that you've provided will not always produce True for obvious reasons.
mod6: im like glued to this debug log
mod6: omg it is so hard not to babysit this thing after a year of babysitting.
mod6: i like the perf charts too. always helps to have numbers & charts.
asciilifeform: ( it gives answer to the 'make auto tests' homework from ch8 )
asciilifeform: mod6: you'll like this one.
jhvh1: asciilifeform: The operation succeeded.
asciilifeform: !~later tell phf plox to snarf ch9
shinohai: yeah i got that part
trinque was saying to build teh restaurant
trinque: people don't show up at some empty lot hungry and then later there's a restaurant
shinohai: phf was going to, maybe when more sluts arrive. I thought emmylark was under the auspices of mircea_popescu
phf: well, to be fair i'm sure i mean to direct that at you, but what you said wasn't directed at me.
Techman: Are you sure you meant to direct that @ me? I'm talking about the housecleaning that shinohai is doing
phf: Techman: well, i did say sluts, not "peanut gallery". most of freenode channels seem to consist of 2-3 useful folk and the 20-30 backsit yes men.
Techman: rip some of the idle folks from lrh

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> phf: in my experience the magic word is 'commercial sample for demo'. but only worx with suitcases. << Personal effects
asciilifeform: dunwork so much with parcels in the post. because otherwise 'erryone would write it'
asciilifeform: phf: in my experience the magic word is 'commercial sample for demo'. but only worx with suitcases.
mircea_popescu: he has i guess the honest man's face.
asciilifeform: mod6: at the risk of repeating myself : don't babysit nodes. if it genuinely 'gets stuck', and not merely on account of poor block propagation at the particular time you are watching -- it is potentially serious problem, and you want debug info . if on other hand it is a chronic situation, you want to instrument the thing with timers, find out where it spends time.
mircea_popescu: honestly, i have great faith in alf's capacity to cross items.
phf: yes, that's cause fg looks like some mil spec shit. you just needed to put inside a cheap plastic box and stencil "fax modem" on it
asciilifeform: phf: worx with variable success. didn't , for instance, for FG to diana_coman
phf: i thought that was standard procedure for shipping international?
ben_vulpes: how the fuck are uruguayan bordermeat going to price an xserve anyways
BingoBoingo: A common recurring answer is they don't know because everyone they know goes to Miama with one bag and returns home with 5-10
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: That I am asking around on and seeking clarification about.
mod6: but *shrug* maybe it just needed longer to talk to others. it had only been up for a little while at that point.
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: is the 22% actually "we have declared the value of this thing to be $maxint, and now pay $maxint * .22 or never see your gear again"?
mod6: yeah, strangely i only had like 4 connections; even with -myip being set to external ip
asciilifeform: rather than constantly
asciilifeform: observe also that even 'aggressive' trb only demands newblox when a peer ~connects~
