asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: thinking about it over the tea : if mircea_popescu dun object, i'ma turn 16b into an appendix, it's stupid that it holds up the flow
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i gotta drink the tea before entirely cold, brb
asciilifeform: but the current remnant dun cut well.
asciilifeform: this is not bad pt overall, tho, the reason why was able to keep the conveyor going earlier to satisfaction of audience, is that found cuts.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: can i ? how do i cut m-r proof into small ?
asciilifeform: i cannot promise to mircea_popescu et al, '1/week', given as i do whole thing in hours between wiping microshit-encrusted arse for a living.
asciilifeform: what does mircea_popescu want for an answer ? 'yes i'ma shit it out by thursday'?
asciilifeform: keccak is currently on chalkboard, diana_coman's aint usable for the purpose (not const. time)
asciilifeform: the other half of this is that if weren't for asciilifeform's 'fuck themselves' loose cannon experimentation, half of what presently runs, wouldn't exist.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: my entire setup runs on surplus gear, which turns up at reasonable price point erry odd year. so not precisely 'impulse'.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: didja even get around to e.g trying the m-r ? still seems to me that i'm baking it faster than anyone's eating.
asciilifeform: it so also happens that asciilifeform has day job, where actually cranks out predictable crud. and it soaks up ~70-80% of cycles. but since i dun write about it, apparently as if dun exist.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i buy some gear, and with moneyback warranty, had to test it. this is done. nao back to the regularly-scheduled biz.
asciilifeform: do we have to do the 'do you want CORRECT ffa or fast ffa' thrd again.
asciilifeform: for instance ? 'on what burned cycles?' 3h on xray. 22 on pizarro (iron what-do, and learning how to mircea_popescuate forums, which not ready for field of yet). 30+ on ffa.
asciilifeform: loops, function definitions, bounded execution cycle count, several other necessary knobs.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in fact ch17 is written. but pending 16b for publication.
asciilifeform continues to marvel at the degree of decerebration needed to swallow 'hey, i'ma go to encryptmyveheheryseekritmessage.com and the receiver will go to decryptmyveheheryseekritmessageanddefinitelynotrelaytousg.com and all is well'

asciilifeform: ...related convo from coupla days ago: pet: 'hey that's a woodchipper going by' a: 'aha' pet: 'how come it didn't stop, why aintcha in it' a: 'dunno, i guess not time yet'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: backend is 100% gcc's
asciilifeform wonders how much of the 100 is autoconf garbage
asciilifeform: ( idea being, of course, tard will pay ~2m~, with interest, etc )
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: here they put coupla sq. m. of grass. cuz why bother with the wasted space when tard will pay 1m anyway.
asciilifeform: all ~exactly same; 'premium' (closer to 1m) model has decorative brick on 1 side.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: there are now 2 standard matchstick designs -- 'condo' ( as in mircea_popescu's link ) and 'townhouse' ( same matchstick, same layout, slightly moar space )
asciilifeform regularly goes by what used to be a commercial parking lot, and finds that it was filled up with these.
asciilifeform: ^ last 1 in this vein for a spell ; asciilifeform is returning to previous unfinished bizniss
asciilifeform: ( supposedly even scimitar for beheading, is suffering shortages, the last troo smiths died )
asciilifeform: i still have difficulty swallowing that they can make anyffin moar complicated than camel saddle.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you won't believe what else UAE-made : (if the crate is to be believed) -- that xray film.
asciilifeform: ( Officially , in the hookas, only tobacco + various flavour crud. but possibly on west coast, also ganja )
asciilifeform: folx on cushions, brains liquifying, quite kiplingesque picture aside from the lappies/pnojes
asciilifeform: you walk in, and smoke thick enuff to walk on
asciilifeform: it is lulzy, in this here shithole they banned 'smoke in restaurant'. but folx still want hooka. so effect was, the hooka dens no longer serve food, nao only smoke
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: hooka worx best with ~servant~ who fills/empties, i suspect
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: my (admittedly nonexpert) understanding is that hooka is used for what in asciilifeform's alcoholic orcistan is referred to as 'kvasing', i.e. slow intake over whole day/night
asciilifeform: the opium was banned specifically cuz kills the 'dreamer' too quickly. they wanted live konsoomer / mortgage monkey gotta live at least his 30y of mortgage etc
asciilifeform: it's the evening's entertainment for these folx. plug in the hoses, fire up the coals, turn on tv for background
asciilifeform: srsly asciilifeform lives in a nowhere uni town, and there are no fewer than 4 shops on 1 street selling hooka, hoses, etc
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the 'dreamers' have been living in their ganja dens since '60s, what
asciilifeform did depressing tour of duty in 'add a methyl, take a methyl' for the reich, but fortunately on the theoretical end, not the eating end
asciilifeform: and BingoBoingo has a reportage re how double-digit % of usa proles are hooked on various synthetic opium
asciilifeform: ( iirc we had thread, re how ~100% of usg.psychopharma 100y consists of 'let's reimplement 2000 y.o. plant dopes in patentable form' )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: today. ( but naturally not classic opium, given as it cannot be patented, but usg.strange, and 'prescription' )
asciilifeform: for their part, the dope makers also drop the ball : it's perfectly possible to make a usable dope that does its thing and breaks down into unremarkables; the assassination poisons people had the right idea in the 1920s
asciilifeform: rly the old chinese system was moar honest, where they took their balls off right off the bat, when they signed up to serve the reich, and put in a jar, 'proof of work'
