BingoBoingo: Just haven't knocked the right door to find it yet?
gabriel_laddel: ben_vulpes Stanford hospital is a scary place. They lied to me MANY times about how many xrays I'd get, that they'd let me get copies...
BingoBoingo: gabriel_laddel: You are going to get a lawyer. Your lawyer is going to probe the surgeon's colon with his suing member over that lung fluid thing. You will have money. Might as well rent some rackspace and grow your small business.
gabriel_laddel: ben_vulpes I jumped from one roof to the other with electricity.
gabriel_laddel: BingoBoingo I can't parse that.
BingoBoingo: Seriously, gabriel_laddel How many rack units do you want to lease once lawyer loves the surgeon's butthole a bit?
gabriel_laddel: Fed me too much fluid prior to anaesthetic, which flooded lungs when knocked out. Ended up in ICU for 4 days.
trinque goes to perform constructive self harm at the gym
trinque: "they fucked up turning my chalk dust of a heel into a foot again"
ben_vulpes: how did you even come to fall off the roof, dude?
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform surgon irritates me on a personal level + the first time stanford tried it, they fucked up
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel just go into er sometime that's not crazy (ie, not sunday at 4:10 am, not right after a shooting rampage etc. they'll sort it out)
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: so waitasec wai hacking off own leg then
BingoBoingo: gabriel_laddel: Seriously get styling leather boots "Redwing Heritage" or sane world alternative (new, not broken in). Powder limb with with miconazole poweder and strap into the boot.
mircea_popescu: where's that beautiful delusionist mage thing.
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu Glad I brought this up. Am insured, have option of surgery.
trinque: whatever comes of it, it's going to compress into "I'm not qualified to be free"
mircea_popescu: the elliot one or the gabriel one ?
asciilifeform: i dun think we ever heard the full story of the roof thing either
mircea_popescu: anyway. stupid idea, try something else.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo well, half tibia. what knee.
mircea_popescu: trinque tbh i was expecting self-hacking is in the pipeline since about a year ago.
BingoBoingo: Also if amputaing taking off only the foot leaves small selection of expensive annoying prostheses. Knee offers more options
mircea_popescu: makes 0 sense to eschew THAT part of it
mircea_popescu: moreover, the ~ only good thing to come out of the us is trauma medicine.
mircea_popescu: the medieval standard is "saw the bone and sink the stump in hot oil". this works, but you'll pass out. has to be a third person.
trinque: what the fuck.
gabriel_laddel: BingoBoingo right heel is totally shattered and collapsed into my upper foot.
BingoBoingo: gabriel_laddel: What's going on with the foot?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> ah sorry my bad, week/month nm << Number is strictly what the spot on the rack costs. Prototype "Basic Box" (AMD A8 5545 machine) should be arriving today for evaluation.
gabriel_laddel: Anyone who gives me good resources (pubmed refs etc) can have the video whenever I get around to it
gabriel_laddel: Speaking of which, am going to be performing self-amputation of right foot as it is in the way + I don't trust or want US doctors.
gabriel_laddel: Could do more, but my foot is busted & surgery takes ages to schedule b/c US 'healthcare' isn't etc.
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform nah. Same old thing -- selling M, treading bitch niggas and getting ~nowhere fast.
asciilifeform: just when i thought d00d must've vysotskyed long ago
mircea_popescu: ok i take it back, this actually makes sense.
asciilifeform: well it 'tries' and tries...
mircea_popescu: ~not honestly trying to divide.
asciilifeform: if you remove the div0 trap from ffa, you end up likewise with a reg full of 1s. it's what knuth division produces when given a 0 divisor.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i think i do too
mircea_popescu: gotta keep up to our representations, neh.
mircea_popescu: what i mean is : the fact that div by 0 produces a non-uniform distribution of bits in the register suggests to me that it is NOT as flagless as it aims to pretend.
asciilifeform: to say 'error flag' is not in line with reality of the situation -- the only correct answer to div-by-0 is eggog. and eggog != 'returns a value just like actual non-by-0 division might'
mircea_popescu: so they use the register as an error flagh
asciilifeform not tried
mircea_popescu: twas a dubious time, lots got killed in the war, which is how eg lithuania ended up with ~none
asciilifeform: es the desired behavior' didjaknow!
asciilifeform: 'The lack of a carry bit complicates multiple-precision arithmetic – GMP, MPFR ... RISC-V does not detect or flag most arithmetic errors, including overflow, underflow and divide by zero ... Most popular programming languages do not support checks for integer overflow, partly because most architectures impose a significant runtime penalty to check for overflow on integer arithmetic and partly because modulo arithmetic is sometim
mircea_popescu: ah, right, post-ww2 reorg of gypsies also produced the gelem gelem thing
mircea_popescu: not exactly. the place where pacepas went before dc was established, cca 1970s/1980s
asciilifeform: loldon, the go-to leprosorium for 'governments in exile' of all sorts, eh
mircea_popescu: anyway. lulzy outshot of this megalomaniacal protestant thing ("world council of churches").
mircea_popescu: they did lift a 1930s "gypsies of romania" congress flag tho.
mircea_popescu: ah, the whole "let's call gypsies romani now" thing ?
asciilifeform: 'risc-v' is a well-crafted attempt to steal the name, much like gypsies tried to steal even the name of the country they lived in ☟︎
mircea_popescu: "this cisc thing is too complex,. make a simple one" "why, so there can within a decade 'exist' a thousand different simplicities ?"
asciilifeform: so it's a first-class wrecking. sorta like what llvm used to be prior to apple crowning it. riscv is waiting for its apple.
mircea_popescu: can we not talk about it anymore when discussing risc ? the concept isn't actually without merit, as such.
asciilifeform: they also managed to waste the time of compiler back-end people, linux kernel folx, etc. with it.
asciilifeform: but nobody afaik sells a siliconized hard implementation of it. and i dun expect that anyone will. because wtf.
asciilifeform: moar concretely they go around propagandizing that if you build a fpga board you gotta use it, because 'mips is patented' ( in what country ? even in usa patent is 25y ) or 'risc-v is simplest' ( uh, nope ) and other idiocy. ☟︎
asciilifeform: it is 'used' for 'being The Next Troo Libre RMStronic Cpu Arch'
mircea_popescu: is this actually used for anything ?
asciilifeform: it's got jumps. but they blow the pipeline.
mircea_popescu: so there's no SWI in rms-risc ?
mircea_popescu: apparently there's a lot i don't understand.
asciilifeform: but not the Troo RMS Linux Phoundation risc .
mircea_popescu: i thought risc had a buncha cond flags
asciilifeform: and, it gets 'better', risc-v is the Official(tm)(r) OpenSores cpu arch.
mircea_popescu: "your mul was executed but we refuse to tell you what it came to because you might end up using that result somewhere" ?
asciilifeform: with the extra xor and sub etc.
asciilifeform: the only way to detect overflow on risc-v is the algo i used in ffa. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: and for that matter any register ?
mircea_popescu: why specifically the carry flag as opposed to you know, any other flag ?
mircea_popescu: ok this must be the dumbest thing i heard this week.
mircea_popescu: what pipeline ? the cpu execution pipeline ?
asciilifeform: 'it ruins the pipeline'
asciilifeform: the wreckers DELIBERATELY, unabashedly wrecked bignum performance for all time on their idiot shitiron
mircea_popescu: "Cloudflare Always Online allows you to read this idiotic banner on content which, unlike cloudflare, is actually valuable and no longer around."
mircea_popescu: aand in the same vein : http://www.ada-programming.info/ASM_86_file_for_use_with_GNAT_for_MS_DOS_jQxM.html
mircea_popescu: me too.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in useless tards, https://www.adacore.com/developers/development-log/NF-503-D817-011-gnat
asciilifeform: it dun do 16bit mode, sadly, tho
mircea_popescu: incidentally, what's the ms-dos gnat compiler ? also gcc ?
a111: Logged on 2016-08-04 19:59 mircea_popescu: but it's certainly quite deep. the vermin doesn't merely aim to a comfortable existence, but more importantly to a memory-less situation.
mircea_popescu: gets in teh way of all that justwantto.
asciilifeform: nao this is troo
mircea_popescu: history is traditionally anti-valuable to the plebs.
asciilifeform: and why phf is able to execute 40 y.o. macsyma , ditto
asciilifeform: standard compliance (we also had thread) is a massively underappreciated thing. it is why, e.g., diana_coman was able to take the serpent thing and build it, cleanly and without change, 20+yrs after its writing
mircea_popescu: so then.
asciilifeform: it isn't a straight imbecile mapping to the idjit cmachine cpu, as c is.
asciilifeform: but as we discussed in old thread, the single most serious problem of ada, is that it is quite difficult to implement an adatron. esp if you actually go for standard compliance.
mircea_popescu: (and provides its own inline asm too)
mircea_popescu: gcc or w/e you use as a compiler,. for instance, also not an ada proggy. ada dun even try what lisp tried and failed to obtain, ie, a full universe.
mircea_popescu: well, the part that's ada is ada and the part that dun work or isn't wanted in ada... isn't ada.
asciilifeform: you lose the guarantees.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: point is, that is no longer an ada proggy.
mircea_popescu: and dang, why is this bch so totally taking over!
mircea_popescu: and so back to the original, there can't "not be alternatives" to gnat. leaving aside the in principle argument, there's alternative by example : expose the cpu instruction and woe to anyone who won't/can't/doesn't.
