gabriel_laddel: I met the franz doods irl once. Cannot understand *why* they do what they do at all.
gabriel_laddel: phf: I did - it requires more work than it is worth atm
gabriel_laddel: gentoo with CLIM as the default graphics library, conkeror (emacs style browser) and a bunch of math goodies more or less
gabriel_laddel: the light being that the buildroot people already handled this for me?
gabriel_laddel: Even unpacking and then repackaging it causes this - so must be that I have two versions of cpio installed or some nonsense..
gabriel_laddel: I can unpack the thing, inspect & modify the tree, but when repacking it and writing it to the USB == kernel panic
gabriel_laddel: I looked into it previously, and it seemed that simply modifying the working initramfs I have now would be much faster - but no such luck yet.
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: terrible atm - cannot generate a initial ram filesystem that works correctly :/
gabriel_laddel: Turns out is her bf's shirt and she does molecular bio so perhaps ascii was right...
gabriel_laddel: cute girl with a "recreational mathematics" shirt on right next to me. it's not so bad.
gabriel_laddel: No laptop, currently on a public box so can't get any work done.
gabriel_laddel: O? I have an event in an hour. Lemme catch up on logs...
gabriel_laddel: you have no idea how much of a complete disaster my life is...
☟︎ gabriel_laddel: trinque: I don't know / use rsync. What should I have done?
gabriel_laddel: Generate a RescueCD that rebuilds masamune using all the sources on disk
gabriel_laddel: untangled the only gnarly bit of the masamune replication and promptly cooked my computer's hard drive
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: is the "nightlife" in montevideo the ~same as BA?
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: wait what does his new thing have to do with thiel?
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: it just LOOKS like that. All of those widgets are just handle-repaint defmethods.
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: I use the CLX native backend and will be moving to framebuffer when it makes economic sense.
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: one step at a time. I cut out all the "backends" and got the LoC count to 100,803 lines of CL.
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: have you sailed across the river to montevideo yet?
gabriel_laddel: The lesswrong people I've run into out the bay area all tacked on idiocies like "if someone had a really good betting run, then you would pay them to make decisions for you regarding your own life"
☟︎ gabriel_laddel: Eventually these were compiled into the book Zero to One.
gabriel_laddel: ^ "Notes Essays-Peter Thiel’s CS183: Startup-Stanford, Spring 2012"
gabriel_laddel: And if so, are you familiar with the optimization techniques "optimal braindamage" or "optimal brain surgery"?
gabriel_laddel: They merged with paypal eventually though, so yes, close.
gabriel_laddel: Anyways, I'm a bit busy atm, have not been able to get the full masamune replication working, which is irritating. but I do have customers waiting on me, which is exciting.
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: sometimes not really having a job is a bit of a chore.
gabriel_laddel: They don't have to be related to molecular dynamics simulations, though that is why I'm asking...
☟︎ gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: the original mention was of currency changers iirc
gabriel_laddel: I could have sworn you had a post in which the conclusion was "bring them along".
gabriel_laddel: I have a few obligations to take care of here in the US first.
☟︎ gabriel_laddel: MP has already reported that idiots in BA don't hustle on weekends. Hustle on weekends
gabriel_laddel: just hop on a cruise ship and don't get back on when they leave the port
gabriel_laddel: ;; later tell cazalla Also, why not just leave Aus? Take a boat to BA or Montevideo. Don't come back.
gabriel_laddel: ;; later tell cazalla Have you tried morphine for your pain? It is possible to maintain a habit and be productive (ex: William Halsted).
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: We shall see. I would like to put 8 of them in your hands. S.NSA needs a R&D project.
gabriel_laddel: Does anyone have experience with North Star Micro Electronics?
☟︎ gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: To be clear, the part # for this is: XC6216-2HQ240C?
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: it isn't like they're being used for something useful anywhere else.
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: Isn't the whole purpose of an FPGA that I can program it in place?
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: so how do I run a program on one of these things without a socket connection?
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: to vendor: "if this is the real deal it should be able to run this program [include ascii file here], if it fries, I'm not buying it."
