mircea_popescu: the latter has significant larger ram aperture (3x the speed, 16x the address space) and significantly more threads possibly (24 vs 8)
mircea_popescu: and we intend to muchly broaden the extant gfx basis anyway, hence all these self-curing client genuflexions
mircea_popescu: i'd rather it not be "only works on intel" if at all possible, but otherwise...
mircea_popescu has 0 problem saying "oh, eulora only works on nvidia" or w/e limiting in this vein.
mircea_popescu: also, an attempt at a static nvidia-toolkit would be interesting regardless of results. afaik nobody even tried to any significant degree
mircea_popescu: most high level tasks are "5 minutes' worth of not being fucking stupid"
mircea_popescu: a LOT can be accomplished in ten hours, provided one doesn't pay any being an engineer rents with them.
mircea_popescu: the first lol, i'm not dragging the whole mp-wp logger on forever.
mircea_popescu: plus i don't remember you throwing a hissy fit for no apparent reason
mircea_popescu: right. directed an' structured an' documented and os on
mircea_popescu: potentially there's a good half dozen hands here, if ave1 & bvt can be seduced into it.
mircea_popescu: yes, well, with all that context a whole different thing!
mircea_popescu: i don't see why it wouldn't be possible. doesn't work atm, but yes.
mircea_popescu: not necessarily. a dvd is what, coupla gb. a recent client could just pack its data disk there.
mircea_popescu: the idea is that the client runs on its own responsibility, asks server for all items it dun have.
mircea_popescu: lots would persist on the disk. keys, configs, and the data cache.
mircea_popescu: in fairness, game as it stands works fine w/o acceleration anyways. so it's a lot more portable in practice than the theoretical extension.
mircea_popescu: the notion browsers are portable is a lot like the notion women are whores.
mircea_popescu: i have no problem with "Boot from it". but it hasta boot. which... is not trivial, given one wants to support 3d gfx.
mircea_popescu: the idea is to construct funel towards republic, so he needn't be dumb. but he might be new
mircea_popescu: if i knew of something giving a leg to stand on i'd push it, but atm got nothing there, so yeah
mircea_popescu: ie, at any given moment some significant percentage of hw configs are unsupportable, and there's ~no way to predict which.
mircea_popescu: it will half the time "upgrade" itself into unrecoverable broken state.
mircea_popescu: i don't even mean this in any kind of theoretical sense, i've been testing it.
mircea_popescu: it's actually the broken glass we're trying to extract through all this process.
mircea_popescu: statically compiling graphic stack is currently impossible.
mircea_popescu: there's two portions current minigame strat needs from os. there's a server os, which has to be static-linkable. there's a client os, which has to be portable and support gfx.
mircea_popescu: or one could just you know, chip at it and signal with others to help.
mircea_popescu: now, as to the putative customer approach : i dun specifically want to make a new os for every single app we come up with. i'd like to make one and be done with it, such that minigame can use it, trb can use it, everyone can fucking use it.
mircea_popescu: i dun think you're a lazy man. currently i think you grew up in a house with a lot of door slamming as a rhetorical device, but that's really neither here nor there.
mircea_popescu: trinque, there's large gaps between what's actually said and what you construe what's said to mean on the uptake ; and there's similarily large gaps between what you actually say and what you expect it to be taken as, on the rebound.
mircea_popescu: anyways. all jobs are perpetually ill defined. that's why they need doing. if they were well defined they also would have been done, past tense.
mircea_popescu: dunno how "much rustling of jimmie" maps on historical account.
mircea_popescu: i don't think we're talking on the same basis here. i dunno how your "omg, faggot, do actual work" maps on the actual occurence.
mircea_popescu: and i dunno what the gap is! make it plain, what is it, what's the difference between whatever this is and whatever a business'd be, an' pinpoint the allergy neh ?
mircea_popescu: if you're asking me, i think it means willing to do work at arm's length.
mircea_popescu: lobbes, so, to be practical here : put the log you have through the works, then we can see ot ?
mircea_popescu: not like you're not gonna be stuck maintaing this forever anyway, so... migh as well :D
mircea_popescu: cool. the only thing is... i'd like a distant server. where do you currently host ?
mircea_popescu: also, <font color=gray>[hh:mm]</font> plox. light colored
mircea_popescu: i don't think seconds are meaningful, irc is not resolvable to a second resolution anyway
mircea_popescu: this is stupid, if mp-wp becomes the de facto platform we'll be stuck with timeless logs. ;/
mircea_popescu: and also... fuck. no timestamp at all, i actually came up with thsi shit ?
mircea_popescu: i thought we had a discussion re formats at some point, was gonna bold names and whatnot. was it in my dreams ?
mircea_popescu: yes but how is the bot gonna post going forward ? you already have that converter don't you ?!
mircea_popescu: you hafta, i mean... i haven't been keeping local logs since travelling etc.
