trinque: no sig from ave1 on his tarball, so neh
a111: Logged on 2018-01-16 13:20 ave1: I finally had some time to update the musl gnat build-script, write-up and download here: http://ave1.org/2018/building-gnat-on-musl/
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-16#1770987 << this is pretty great work, ave1 . hey trinque , are you equipped with a working musltronic system, to try this recipe ? ☝︎
a111: 9 results for "salvation of the drowning", http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=salvation%20of%20the%20drowning
asciilifeform: !#s salvation of the drowning
asciilifeform: imho, the reddit-outreaches or whatever process resulted in the recent influx of these -- is misguided. let the functional djbs come -- or not come.
asciilifeform: i do not, i will confess, grasp, for what anybody needs the indiancandies, the 'pirate radio' imbeciles, the trannies, any of the various scum. none of the functional people here were ever any of these things. they are not the larval form of anything worthwhile.
asciilifeform: though this reminds me, this episode is a good illustration of one point where i disagree with mircea_popescu re the gutter -- i do not want the gutter or its inhabitants who cannot come out of it on their own power, for anything whatsoever. they bring with them the stench, and it never really washes off. ☟︎
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-16#1770950 << what i dunget is why ben_vulpes was the lucky one ☝︎
asciilifeform: notion being, he made that 75 'without working', moar emotional 'bang' from it than from 75k from dayjob ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2018-01-16 06:26 mircea_popescu: somewhere there was a fucktard painting stickers for biosen in order to make 75 bux. who ?
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-16#1770934 << there was that proverb, re how 'stolen meat tastes better' ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-01-16 06:21 ben_vulpes: in other lolz, my mom just got a voicemail from someone claiming that i "seem to be committing fraud online", and that "there are a lot of people on his tail and to not take it lightly"

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-16#1770914 << this is a classic piece and i recommend for all of the folx here, to read it, if they had not already read it. ☝︎
asciilifeform: if anyone finds so much as the smell of one -- i would like to hear about it, asap. ☟︎
asciilifeform: the whole point of ffa is that it is to contain NO such possibility of NO such thing.
asciilifeform: and yes his example snippet ~will~ barf. and no i won't spoil the puzzle by saying where and how. and no it is not hard to make 9000 similar examples. ☟︎
asciilifeform: THIS -- i won't touch. it's worse by far than any xorswap 'rake'.
asciilifeform: it'd be one thing if the suggested item were 'and here is how to lose the sad always-zero stack cell, AND have SP only ever point to valid cells.'
asciilifeform: and willing to do so at the expense of obvious correctness ? ☟︎
asciilifeform: does he have a micro that is just 4kbit short of a useful ram for doing ffatronics ? and needs to shave that 1 cell ?
asciilifeform: what i don't understand is why apeloyee has a problem with 'SP ALWAYS POINTS TO A VALID CELL, MOTHERFUCKERS' rule.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-16#1770913 << impatience is a sin, apeloyee . ( apparently restatement of http://www.loper-os.org/?p=2051&cpage=1#comment-18606 thread ? ) ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-01-16 05:50 ben_vulpes: okay i get the FZ_IDiv implementation now, that's pretty cool asciilifeform
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-16#1770911 << i gotta ask, what's there to 'get' -- it's the same algo as in school book, e.g., hennessey, 'restoring division'; as also seen in knuth vol 2, and goes back to egyptian papyrii ☝︎
shinohai: Well I guess that is good.
BingoBoingo: Well, it's very humid today
ave1: Note that this builds adacore 2016 release (also build gprbuild)
ave1: I finally had some time to update the musl gnat build-script, write-up and download here: http://ave1.org/2018/building-gnat-on-musl/ ☟︎
shinohai: oh wait, shift that a decimal to the right.
shinohai: More beatings, in it's case. might have prevented this mental illness.
shinohai: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-16#1770950 <<< bwahahaha this is comedy gold, ben_vulpes. Perhaps was hoping you Mother would what, apply a beating? ☝︎
deedbot: http://cascadianhacker.com/the-thot-plickens-or-i-r-a-cryptocurrency-scamzor << CH - The thot plickens (or: I r a cryptocurrency scamzor!)
mircea_popescu: dissolution of fambly totally worked for all these independent career journawhores.
trinque: that's about it; only "plots" written today are exactly the anal child as seen on trilema
mircea_popescu: "it doesn't like you, not really, but it still sticks around to torture you!"
mircea_popescu: is this the one where future people are so personally invested in the comings and goings of dumbest generation narcissists they build time machine just to go bitchslap them retrospectively ?
trinque: then right, invites you to be pissed on because "we all use twitter" or something.
trinque: whole thing begs you to believe socialism will last long enough to create that fat lesswrong pig's basilisk nightmares
trinque: in other opaque kids today, I watched some of the black mirror, that iirc mircea_popescu hated. what garbage.
trinque: I'm confused; is "the right thing" the two bitcents?
ben_vulpes bbl, flopping meat through space
mircea_popescu likes this future of self-delivery lulz-mein.
mircea_popescu: hey, remember the days back when if you wanted to chuckle at this sort of inept bullshit you had to like... figure out what domain is encyclopedia dramatica at this week, and dive in ?
mircea_popescu: hm. why does tranny sound like a diner waitress ?
mircea_popescu: a there it is.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: the whole transcript is a link
ben_vulpes: ah ty mircea_popescu
mircea_popescu: holy shit we're back to "mirceau" ? what the everloving ?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes broken link thar.
ben_vulpes: well whomever it was managed to blow FZ_IDiv clear out of my head so i guess it's time to go for a run
mircea_popescu: im starting to feel neglected.
ben_vulpes: ah hey and there are the attempts to suborn what husks of social media profiles i have kicking around
mircea_popescu: i'm vaguely curious how this'll get spun once it's the basis for "you know, trannies are the worst offenders on a per capita basis when it comes to online harassment"
ben_vulpes: unfortunately, only trolling of the concerned and bearing the lords' children are meaningful contributions.
mircea_popescu: concern trolling is a legitimate social contribution! almost as good as childbearing!
mircea_popescu: hey, pay your taxes so tranny can go around doing heroin / attention whore / nubbins in approximately equal cycles all over the place!
trinque: life's tough when you're one "nuh uh" from a mental breakdown.
ben_vulpes: dag if that is actually the trap in q i r astonish
ben_vulpes: ohey here's the audio
trinque: bahaha, fucktard in ben_vulpes' case actually thought to itself "I AM CALLING YOUR MOTHER!"
mircea_popescu: cuz apparently fucktard getting to pretend he's on top of things is worth ~infinity to the fucktard in question.
mircea_popescu: the same sort of fucktard who goes around being a "woman in tech [journalism]" and so forth.
mircea_popescu: somewhere there was a fucktard painting stickers for biosen in order to make 75 bux. who ? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: so now... you sell 500 boards for 76 bux each, that's $3800! if the margin on that shit is 2% you're doing fucking great, so the whole charade was organised for a whopping $75! which is half what a fucking steak costs.
ben_vulpes: whoever it was managed to get some identifying bits right and others insultingly wrong
mircea_popescu: ow much did it cost to get some sticky labels printed up?
mircea_popescu: No kidding. That is exactly what went on — we never bought any, but we know people who did, and you could have any chipset you wanted. Well, you could have any chipset label you wanted. We only remember seeing these boards with UMC or PC Chips labels, but apparently you could ask for anything at all: UMC, SiS, Intel, you name it. After all, from the importer's point of view, if it helped close a sale for 500 motherboards, h
mircea_popescu: "Want to buy some 486 boards?" "What price?" "If you take 100 pieces, $76." "OK. What chipset are they?" "What chipset would you like?"
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes on the topic of "isn't it incredible how much work imbecile is willing to put into imbecillity", let's consider this thing from asciilifeform 's earlier link :
mircea_popescu: trinque i recommend the 800g porterhouse! point bleu, with maybe the artichoke or the eggplant thingee.
ben_vulpes: 'tis the obvious one, innit?
ben_vulpes: couldn't tell ya, came as a transcript
mircea_popescu: did they sound like butthurt trannies ?
ben_vulpes: in other lolz, my mom just got a voicemail from someone claiming that i "seem to be committing fraud online", and that "there are a lot of people on his tail and to not take it lightly" ☟︎
ben_vulpes: apeloyee: thank you sir may i have another
a111: Logged on 2018-01-15 03:02 mircea_popescu: in other news, it was discovered that the restaurant here i lauded a coupla places, doris metropolitan, is actually an ofshoot of a houston steakhouse! dja ever go trinque ?
trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-15#1770618 << haven't. I'll put it on the list, looks great ☝︎

ben_vulpes: no, strike that
ben_vulpes: okay i get the FZ_IDiv implementation now, that's pretty cool asciilifeform ☟︎
mircea_popescu: but what fucking "ingenuity", the last immigrant irishman long retired from the police force, what are we talking about ? "oh but mp, i went to a walmart called MIT, it says it's the premiere technical institution in the world right there in its brochure! surely i can come up with something technological!" "you mean like... a website ?" "yeah!" "totally, move to silicon valley and revolutionize the technowhatever" "SHIT YEAH!"
mircea_popescu: buffettism through and through, "Could anyone really believe the earth was going to swallow up the incredible productive assets and unlimited human ingenuity existing in America?" ☟︎
mircea_popescu: THIS is why expensive boards are just the same middle road shit overpriced, and THIS is why everything else : because the hallucination of self-importance is actually destructiv3e.
mircea_popescu: e criteria. so they pick price when shopping just as they pick cliffnotes and "is the A easy ??" classes when "educating" and "i just want to" when acting and so on ad infinitum.
mircea_popescu: the problem is not SIMPLY a bunch of fucktards who shop for price only. the cause they shop for price only is that a) http://trilema.com/2016/please-stop-using-dns-already-and-other-considerations/#selection-711.0-711.610 ie they hallucinate themselves in a position of authority from whence they can make choices in the first place and THEN b) because the position is fictive rather than actual, they need some sort of substitut
mircea_popescu: half a moral. from the same place(not that it's not true to the point of triteness) " Quite often the most expensive boards are no better than the honest middle of the road ones, just priced higher."
asciilifeform: whole thing worth reading.
asciilifeform: 'But there is a deeper moral: in a way, the real culprits were the hordes of greedy retail buyers who made it all possible. By relentlessly shopping on price, price and price, a great many Australian PC buyers left themselves wide open to this fraud. In the end, the one essential thing that makes con tricks possible and practical is the greed of the victim.'
asciilifeform: 'And this is why the BIOS chip was soldered directly into the board, instead of being socketed: not just to save using a 10c part, but so that you couldn't easily remove it and detect the fraud...'
asciilifeform: 'How could the board run with cache enabled in BIOS but without any cache? Simple: the manufacturer had reprogrammed the BIOS to permanently disable external cache no matter which way you set it, and to report "256k cache enabled" during the boot sequence no matter what.'
asciilifeform: 'Here is our friend the anonymous 486 board again. See those black plastic things with metal legs on in the picture below? They look rather like cache RAM chips, don't they?'
mircea_popescu: well, something you'll have to use./
esthlos: alright, I will be thinking about this
mircea_popescu: (note that there's no absolute reason above item has to import browser & js. could also be stand-alone proggy)
mircea_popescu: look into diana_coman 's work re all the "Safe and good enough (tm) rsa"
esthlos: but this...is doable
