asciilifeform: where do i get 1 of these ? it eats wat, 3phase ?
BingoBoingo: What kind of shopvac? they happen on a spectrum
asciilifeform: dulap-III has only 4 fans, plus 5th in ps, none of'em any bigger than a 'D' battery. and yet sounds quite like shopvac at full blast.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-19 22:36 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-19#1754820 << why wouldja care how loud in the dc hall ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Was re http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-19#1754828 also a bit of awe there ☝︎
asciilifeform: i literally couldn't think of a worse algo.
asciilifeform: fact is, trb sync is ragingly retarded. as in , microshit-level.
asciilifeform: if enemy can cost you 6months by pulling yer plug -- expect plug to be pulled. weekly.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: if it takes 6months to resync -- i care
BingoBoingo: No particular reason to care, but it's a detail to be noticed
asciilifeform: lost power ? whocares, wait 20-30hrs while thing resyncs from nearby box
asciilifeform: if the sync behaviour weren't so atrociously retarded, this'd be a pretty simple thing
asciilifeform contemplates placing trb on ramdisk on this box
asciilifeform: i dun remember any of this liquishit in vanilla emacs
trinque now goes to ./configure --help to recall teh lulz
asciilifeform: just the dbus nonsense ?
asciilifeform: trinque: what didja end up having to change in it ?
trinque: in this, I have (and it's trivial to) maintain own package makefiles which depend on other openbsd ports.
asciilifeform: all useflags do is throw items into ./configure --blahblah...
trinque: no need for a useflag there
asciilifeform: but i dun expect to live to see this.
asciilifeform: trinque: although, the end of the line in my eyes is : a fully deautoconfized set of packages.
danielpbarron: asciilifeform, no. i haven't used obsd for years. and by used i mean tried to install again
trinque: what made you balk previously was the lack of system-global fatwah against useflag, package, etc
trinque: asciilifeform: openbsd is a tree of makefiles
trinque: and then, can have one or more sane systems.
trinque: ideally what we end up with is a ports tree that builds on more than one (sane!) system
a111: Logged on 2017-08-06 03:43 asciilifeform: my suspicion is that the bdb locks patch somehow has no effect when bdb built on netbsd
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-06#1694342 << thread ☝︎
asciilifeform: but the results ( at least in asciilifeform's torture room ) have been disappointing, currently afaik nobody even knows why bdb ignores locks knob ( perma-hosing trb ) !! under bsd
danielpbarron: not out of question. i have the cds for versions 5.5 through.. 5.9 i think
asciilifeform: tbh i do wish we were using a bsd as the base
trinque: danielpbarron: excellent re: preserving distfiles. I've got a few piles, bet asciilifeform has too
asciilifeform: btw i finally measured current at full throttle: 330W .
danielpbarron: and yeah let me add my support for the name "cuntoo"
asciilifeform: funnily enuff the box i'm making nao, is destined to become (among other things) a cuntoo mirror.
danielpbarron: please forgive my typos, not using the most ideal keyboard
danielpbarron: if this works, it should be a pill against all future shitkgnomery, but will requiring hosting about 2 gigs of files
danielpbarron: my recipe is broken again. i'm currently testing a script i wrote that manually makes the ebuild digests based on files i have on already running machines
asciilifeform: it's srsly 99% of build time. and single-threaded.
trinque: part of the exercise will be to get a statically linked adatronic gcc, with which to build gnat from inside the musl system.
trinque: so now polishing and collecting *all* distfiles, will publish that when ready ☟︎
trinque: exercise began when I went to run it, found parts no longer working due to mas futuro.
asciilifeform: i've been trying danielpbarron's ( which used , in turn, pieces of mine , which was merely a list of banned turds )
asciilifeform: btw trinque is your recipe on www ?
trinque: "eudev" exists as an alternative to the systemd-udev. dunno what else the heathens stapled to systemd meanwhile
asciilifeform: ought to be specific -- it's the mere fact that a binturd of name 'systemd' is present.
trinque: if latter what of openrc, headed to the gallows?
trinque: asciilifeform: is this the systemdtronic udev, or whole shebang?
trinque: aha, the rot is accelerating.
asciilifeform: phunphakt : this yr's gentoo stage3 all include systemd (disabled, sure, but BINARILY PRESENT motherfuckers)
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=%22think+it+should%22+crashes << i fished it out of search. but yes, reason it's in quotes is because it referenced the earlier original.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that utterance was originally from a former 'patient' of asciilifeform's
a111: Logged on 2016-08-27 15:03 mircea_popescu: "if i make it what i think it should be it crashes"
mircea_popescu: an epic example of http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-27#1530346 as there was ever had. ☝︎
diana_coman: because k can be 0 and so it needs to initialize result with nminus1 before the call, just in case...
diana_coman: instead it does first copy(result, nminus1) and then mpi_tdiv_q_2exp(result, result, k)
diana_coman: namely: it needs to calculate nminus1 / 2 ^ k but it does NOT call mpi_tdiv_q_2exp(result, nminus1, k)
diana_coman: caller (primegn) in this case does a very weird thing - the one that actually GOT me into investigating and therefore finding this
mircea_popescu: symmetry didn't work like teh author imagined it would.
diana_coman: because it works around this specifically BUT without making it clear
mircea_popescu: _i >= 0; vs _i < (n); is the point here.
asciilifeform: nao next q is why does the caller appear to work
diana_coman: it wants to be a straight copy
diana_coman: asciilifeform, I can tell you what it wants to be, lol
asciilifeform: check this out :
diana_coman: at the end result will be what I put in aka number?
asciilifeform: result is , per my naked eye, that it doesnuffin
diana_coman: so what do you say the result is, asciilifeform ?
asciilifeform: ( try it with mine, btw )
asciilifeform: so the thing will do what a human rightshifter does when given 0
asciilifeform: work it out : limb_cnt will be 0 ; the inner if takes the 'else' branch; MPN_COPY_INCR(w->d, u->d , u->limbs ) is the resulting call
diana_coman: and even more to the point: what is the result in mpi sane?
mircea_popescu: k, the counter.
diana_coman: asciilifeform, what do you say the result should be when the count is 0 ? (k as mircea_popescu says)
asciilifeform: ( tldr : it's an arithmetical, i.e. sign-extending, right-shifter. )
asciilifeform: 9 out of 10 times you can find clue re what an mpiism was, by looking in'ere.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: https://gmplib.org/manual/Integer-Division.html has the goodz. they renamed it , tho, mpz_tdiv_q_2exp .
diana_coman: does anybody know precisely what function mpi_tdiv_q_2exp from "sane mpi" does exactly? as we were talking of understanding of code earlier
shinohai: ^ moar delicious looking than caek, elves ....
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-19#1754820 << why wouldja care how loud in the dc hall ? ☝︎☟︎
shinohai: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ripple/ <<< All these dorks throwing coin into XRP, which isn't even a proper crypto, just because coinbase is gonna partner with 'em or something.
danielpbarron: hm, this site is hard to read, and i can't imagine this is actually correct, but my CAKE might be worth 3.3 BTC ...
BingoBoingo: Old hall sound like Embraer 145 I took STL to Houston
danielpbarron: in other lols, i created an asset on that XCP counterparty thing years ago and i'm looking at it now. thing has a market cap over 1k USD and not only that, people have actually been trading it in the last half a year. some guy even has what the site claims is 800 USD worth
mircea_popescu: this is not the ~whole~ problem, but certainly a pole.
mircea_popescu: yes, actually, phf's formalization is prolly the natural schelling point here. "there's an impedance mismatch between procedurals and serializations and this needs care and feeding."
ben_vulpes: how many lines of code did you kill today!
a111: Logged on 2017-12-19 06:09 phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-19#1754013 << 11753, well that's enough for tonight
phf: yes, i think so, though i will further add that's not question of just diff, but rather the mismatch between mechanical actions and serialization format in general (there's a lot of bad examples, like dreamweaver, word, etc. and i can't recall any good examples)
diana_coman: so more like how much mismatch between the two representations (diff vs tool graphical or otherwise) is tolerable given that this mismatch inevitably creates noise?
phf: further down asciilifeform elaborates that even technically "noise" is not necessarily just a property of "bad tool", e.g. changing the radius of a circle in cartesian coordinates
phf: diana_coman: i believe the word spectrum is mentioned literally in the same rant
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> o shit, the matchsticks << funny enough, was just thinking about this yesterday.
diana_coman: because basically I get to "choose" between: model it non-graphically and it's clear or use the "simpler" gui that makes it then 100 times harder to follow the changes; is that it or what am I missing there?
a111: Logged on 2017-12-19 18:56 phf: mircea_popescu: i think that's when one of those arguments where poking at it we discover there's no any substantial disagreement. i think we're thinking of same thing but from slightly different direction. i was thinking whatever we come up with for graphics will still have a gui interface, where one can use a mouse, etc. to lay out and modify objects. in that case and given existing models a diff will produce a lot of mechanical noise, which is accid
diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-19#1754565 <- hmmm, I'm certainly not one for graphics much, but tbh a graphical tool that results then in a lot of noise when diffing outputs sounds like a bad tool to me ☝︎
mircea_popescu: but the gist being that "communism failed through misapplying force" is not an argument against application of force, it's an argument against giving anything, force, the time of day, to idiots aka socialists.
asciilifeform: i wouldn't propose to translate it for public consumption, no
mircea_popescu: i was just trying to be helpful!
