asciilifeform: but this discussion is NOT only about code.

asciilifeform: yes.

asciilifeform: and intend to strip ALL of it.

asciilifeform: and i strip it away.

asciilifeform: which will NEVER apply to gavin & co.

asciilifeform: but there were reasons why i was willing to operate on his crud.

asciilifeform: right

asciilifeform: they were ~there~ but not effectual.

asciilifeform: it is axiomatic.

asciilifeform: like bones pre- vs post- h-bomb strontium.

asciilifeform: pointedly not the same.

asciilifeform bbl.

asciilifeform: danielpbarron must have eaten that last vial of lsd! i sincerely wish him a good trip. but now i gotta go and start the engine and ride to the place where i sit on a stake for most every day.

asciilifeform: we're talking about ~= 1/2m u.s. here.

asciilifeform: danielpbarron: mircea_popescu believes (and i'm not convinced that he's wrong) that hiring people lowers them into pederasty. and he's the ~only fella with money here. so then.

asciilifeform: who have a five-minute attention span and atrocious tunnel vision, and need ~immediates~

asciilifeform: but i was speaking of value to usg looters.

asciilifeform: davout: value to me also.

asciilifeform: the 'reddit appeal' of what we do is ~0, and this is PROPER, and it is in many ways a barometer of doing The Right Thing ☟︎

asciilifeform: but that is pointedly not what we have here.

asciilifeform: 'crowdfundings', as i understand, have worked for mass crapolade ☟︎

asciilifeform: l0l

asciilifeform: also on loose change from folks' sofa cushions ?!

asciilifeform: and half of what remains, as usg tax

asciilifeform: danielpbarron: i'd have to spend half of that year looking for next work.

asciilifeform: i am having to work 14-18 hrs/day (including slavemine) just to make some of these not-happenings possibly happen.

asciilifeform: just liek many other things, won't be happening.

asciilifeform: so it ain't happening.

asciilifeform: but re: the sommelier thing, i would happily supply folks with sane hardware, but this would 1) take serious time & effort while 2) wouldn't pay my billz

asciilifeform: notice how mircea_popescu pointedly also doesn't ?

asciilifeform: and don't recommend to others to do it!

asciilifeform: i don't buy whole computer (other than portables, for restricted uses)

asciilifeform: aha but i didn't buy it!

asciilifeform: l0l

asciilifeform: i recommended it ?!

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-03-2016#1428562 << it is set up right here. ☝︎

asciilifeform: except to 'hodl'.

asciilifeform: and this means absolutely NO use for sub-orbital quantity.

asciilifeform: i have NO use for btc other than escape glider from my auschwitz

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-03-2016#1428499 << davout you forgot 'making it possible to save again' ☝︎☟︎

asciilifeform doesn't expect to get to eat lsd in his natural lifespam, just as doesn't expect a real tailored suit or to sail on a dirigible ☟︎

asciilifeform: shinohai: possibly he thought this also, and ate some ? and during it, suggested prb ...? ☟︎

asciilifeform: it melted my brain that he even half-seriously hinted at the possibility of such a thing. ☟︎

asciilifeform: aha.

asciilifeform: danielpbarron: mircea_popescu ! unless i misunderstood him somehow. ☟︎

asciilifeform: jurov: it is for working on trb !

asciilifeform: anybody who wants to surrender, can go and do it without me.

asciilifeform: i will repeat, i have NO interest in any 'bitcoin replacement' originating from outside of the wot.

asciilifeform: so if you lot end up surrendering, i will simply have to add 'bitcoin replacement' to my already tall pile of 'redo computing' pyramid, slowly grind it in my mostly nonexisting spare time, and wait another 20 years to find a new set of sane people, if i live that long. ☟︎

asciilifeform: it would, i suspect, take me 1/2 y to 1y of UNINTERRUPTED full time to come up with the goods. which pointedly isn't in any danger of happening.

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-03-2016#1428469 << l0l you and with what crane, will extract. ☝︎

asciilifeform: (i loathe ada, but this needs a BOUNDS-CHECKED language where i can AUDIT THE BINARY and NO RUNTIME COMPONENT / GC - which leaves exactly ONE)

asciilifeform: ENOUGH wotless nonboundschecked language.

asciilifeform: i am sick and tired of there being usg c/cpp code in the loop ANYWHERE.

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-03-2016#1428471 << ada. ☝︎

asciilifeform: this pointedly does not mean that i am interested in attempting to wash the smell of shit off a rando sickly rat from rando sewer.

asciilifeform: i was willing to deal with the cpp miseryu of trb because 1) it pre-dates bitcoin being valuable 2) it was - and remains - the schelling point, 'father's pistols' ☟︎

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-03-2016#1428468 << again, anyone who wants to follow a usg fork, can do it without me. and who wants to use a prb fork of whatever variety or rationale, can do it without me. ditto halfcocked crud conceived to enrich chinese scum. ☝︎

asciilifeform: because not separable from usg in any meaningful way except - DEFINITIONALLY - by entering the wot and doing a LONG tour of duty as a Real Person

asciilifeform: while there many be 'intelligence available outside of the wot', it is ~dead to me~ ☟︎☟︎

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-03-2016#1428461 << guess what ~i personally won't ever be caught dead doing~ ??? ☝︎

asciilifeform: (it is certainly where most of the ones i ever had, went.)

asciilifeform: losing at bbet is pretty much the only place i can blow btc !

asciilifeform: l0l

asciilifeform: as last night.

asciilifeform: moar of the same.

asciilifeform: but i have not tried this yet.

asciilifeform: the thing also can, apparently, emulate an sram, and even generically master an 8-bit bus

asciilifeform: comes with two snakes, can stuff right in the place of a 1980s rom.

asciilifeform: sure is.

asciilifeform: gernika: what's your use case for eerom ?

asciilifeform: (normally used to run malware)

asciilifeform: but to go back to original question, yes, winblowz crapolade runs on boxes designated for the purpose

asciilifeform: (inside is also a xilinx fpga and some sram.)

asciilifeform: lulzily, eerom uses ~same chipset as the linked ^ above !!

asciilifeform: unobtainable today.

asciilifeform: with, iirc, parallel port.

asciilifeform: that was for prev version

asciilifeform: kinda like what i did here, http://www.loper-os.org/?p=668

asciilifeform: for the 5 people or so worldwide who give a fuck.

asciilifeform: eventually will post.

asciilifeform: gernika: working on reversed driver.

asciilifeform: interesting.

asciilifeform: hm, nm?

asciilifeform: kakobrekla: ?

asciilifeform: ;;isup log.bitcoin-assets.com

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-03-2016#1428367 << pigs will not only fly, but to mars. ☝︎

asciilifeform: but yes, the ONLY possible thing i would ever consider a job upgrade is ... not having to leave the house, or talk

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-03-2016#1428365 << i do unspeakable things to pay billz (not in a literal cube, but this is the ~one~ saving grace) ☝︎

asciilifeform: and does anyone here actually have spare cycles.

asciilifeform: or did i read that backwards ?

asciilifeform: *as if

asciilifeform: ( mircea_popescu , who doesn't hire anyone but plumbers, does not for this purpose count )

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-03-2016#1428363 << ahahahaha ad if there were connected people here ! ☝︎

asciilifeform: dulap!

asciilifeform: or sumthing.

asciilifeform: well they had manhattan project but then ran out of conspiratronium so dun work no moar

asciilifeform: 'if yer so smart, why aintcha rich!' 'paulgraham hates you, the gods forsake you'

asciilifeform: also i will note, it is somewhat more difficult to bludgeon morons as a dervish, than from a dirigible.

asciilifeform: what, then ?
