mircea_popescu: imagine a 1802 valgrind
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but seriously, "efficiency" aside, i have nfi how one'd program for a processor that allows random switching in and out of the process counter / memory counter etc.
asciilifeform: phun phakt: you can still buy a toy computer with it: http://www.retrotechnology.com/memship/memship.html
BingoBoingo: OMG a self replicating processor?
mircea_popescu: "Karen Bender" is not a bad name by the way
asciilifeform: i only know of a yugo version
asciilifeform: -everybody- had a z80.
assbot: Logged on 09-06-2015 12:21:50; mircea_popescu: there existed an "official" one, MMN80CPU and a number of unofficial clones made in small runs and mostly clandestinely. (most of ex-soviet bloc economy in the early 90s consisted of "anyone who is clever enough to use this nobody's fixed capital - welcome to do so for the cost of the consumables")
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-06-2015#1157765 << that's a z80! not a cdp1802. ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 09-06-2015 01:55:55; trinque: most ORMs would load the whole damn row into an "object" whatever that is, load all the objects into a list, then iterate over that duplicated set of data and barf out the aggregate
assbot: Eurlorean Crafting - The Pickaxe Illumination on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1JBR8JI )
mircea_popescu: everyone's a perianne boring now ?
mircea_popescu: but anyway, For additional background on Blockstream’s founding values, read “Blockstream: A Champion of Bitcoin’s Core Values.” ?! "press@blockstream.com" ?!
assbot: Logged on 09-06-2015 03:34:02; asciilifeform: intel can build a machine for transforming lead into gold, i still won't buy it.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-06-2015#1157652 << good choice, gold's a govt scam anyway ☝︎

shinohai: tl;dr If you need "another project" to work, join #b-a!
vexual: the consesnus is a guess at the hash
vexual: thats a guess
punkman: I imagine things are more tense in Athens, but haven't been in that shithole for a while now
assbot: 9 results for 'mod6 gentoo guide' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=mod6+gentoo+guide
decimation: every weekend in baltimore several people catch a bullet, nobody gives a shit
decimation: actually germany has a somewhat independent chip manufacturing plants
asciilifeform: iirc the sov. single-chip pdp11 (famous in 'bk-0010' microcomputer) appeared before there was such a thing in the west
asciilifeform: e.g., ussr had, in fact, a great many independent (in the administrative -and- engineering sense) manufacturers of various things
asciilifeform: intel can build a machine for transforming lead into gold, i still won't buy it. ☟︎
decimation: maybe intel will get around to releasing a cpu that uses cores for error checking rather than extra derpage
asciilifeform: 'a sapper errs once' (tm)
asciilifeform: at one point i toyed with the idea of building a 'wallet' with one.
asciilifeform: for many years i have searched for a period example of 'voting circuit'
decimation: if I were launching a satellite I would sure as hell rather have time-proven parts
decimation: heh, maybe if you a plebe in the us
asciilifeform: (but will they ship to a plebe? satan only knows)
decimation: heh so warren has a harem?
assbot: Logged on 09-06-2015 02:25:31; mircea_popescu: oh and also : susan (who died like a decade ago) was into "population control"
trinque: yeah mine's got that adjuster on the arm you can diddle a bit
asciilifeform: for non-u.s. folks: picture a toilet that won't flush -anything solid- in less than 3-4 shots
asciilifeform: (more complicated problem, but most can be transformed into something like a pre-1992 model)
asciilifeform: decimation: not like 'humans' will fix their broken-by-design surroundings. visit a few folks in usa and see how many drilled out the idiot 'water saver' thing from their shower head.
asciilifeform: decimation: on a typical day, do you feel like moving a light switch ?
decimation: not because building to standards is dumb, but because it inevitably turns into a racket
decimation: building codes are a dumbass idea
asciilifeform: decimation: take a guess.
decimation: but yes, a gfi would have helped too. are they not standard in ru?
assbot: Logged on 09-06-2015 02:49:54; decimation: I bet the girl in the bathtub would have wished that her charger came with a $0.01 fuse
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=09-06-2015#1157534 << fuse does exactly nothing in such a case. you were thinking of a 'ground-fault-interrupter' ☝︎
asciilifeform has not encountered or so much as smelled a matrox board for many years
asciilifeform owned a succession of matrox boards, until this.
decimation: I bet the girl in the bathtub would have wished that her charger came with a $0.01 fuse ☟︎
mircea_popescu: then provided a replacement (astrid)
mircea_popescu: speaking of trios, she actually left the guy to be a cabaret dancer in the 70s,
mircea_popescu: oh and also : susan (who died like a decade ago) was into "population control" ☟︎
trinque: on the wii you use a mickey mouse finger and your self respect
mircea_popescu: in other news, there's 3x as many people reading trilema off a sony playstation than nintendo wii
mircea_popescu: is it a collection of tubes ?
mircea_popescu: this is all i ever dreamed of - a mmorpg where i know the owner so all the stupid shit can be shot in the head
ben_vulpes: i'm going to beg a copy of trinque's tools and go murder parts of the economy he's not
trinque: every program I've ever been paid to write was just a glorified db editor
asciilifeform: which turns any clos class into a working db
mircea_popescu: <Pierre_Rochard> this will be a different role though, I’ll be working with institutional investors to move their accounting from spreadsheets and PDFs to SQL databases <<< the virgin goddess weeps.
trinque: most ORMs would load the whole damn row into an "object" whatever that is, load all the objects into a list, then iterate over that duplicated set of data and barf out the aggregate ☟︎
trinque: consider for example the difference between using a python ORM and raw SQL for an aggregate over some column
Pierre_Rochard: agreed, though I do lean on sqlalchemy a lot, I can write raw sql
trinque put a great deal of effort into that problem, only to conclude that one should learn to write the damn query directly
trinque: Pierre_Rochard: sounds like a vast improvement :p
Pierre_Rochard: this will be a different role though, I’ll be working with institutional investors to move their accounting from spreadsheets and PDFs to SQL databases
trinque: BingoBoingo: xdm will read a file called .xsession in your home dir to launch whatever you want
BingoBoingo: Or just use a bare windows manager
trinque was raised by stern white men who said "do useful work, improve yourself, don't be a fucking fool"
trinque: at least if he had the spine to be a proper communist I'd have a shred more respect
trinque: fucking communist that took his stumbling into wealth as a sign that being a communist is right (what.. the fuck?), that businesses which something something social good are going to succeed, that the financial considerations are not essential to business but evil!
mircea_popescu: and wtf is a "liberal lion" and wtf, warren's roughly speaking a shop clerk. what lion./
assbot: The battlefield of the future on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1MjCF2w )
decimation: "While much of Silicon Valley grew enamored of the digital currency Bitcoin as a libertarian alternative to central banks, Payne began consulting with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, a new federal agency created at the urging of liberal lion Elizabeth Warren."
trinque: "TempleOS is a motorbike. If you lean over too far, you’ll fall off. Don’t do that." << this guy's awesome.
decimation: the concept of partitioning security zones on a 'c machine' is an excercise in sophistry
trinque: Every piece of code in TempleOS (except the initial kernel/compiler) is JIT compiled on demand. Yes that’s right – you can run a program without compiling it, simply by using an #include statement from the command line. << I believe this is one of asciilifeform's desirable system features
trinque: decimation: schizophrenic goes it alone, creates a system far lispier than this gentoo mess I live in
assbot: codersnotes / A Constructive Look At TempleOS ... ( http://bit.ly/1eZ6knm )
decimation: http://www.codersnotes.com/notes/a-constructive-look-at-templeos < a defense of templeos
BingoBoingo: "You are quite a persistant idiot. Find replacement of a firmware that a vendor wrote for their specific undocumented chip; which runs on the custom processor and hardware on the athn USB device? That runs on the rsu hardware, which is probably some kind of crappy vendor-modified ARM or MIPS or 8085 derived cpu attached to a blob of Verilog logic they designed in their own lab?"
assbot: My Life Inside a Remote Chinese Bitcoin Mine ... ( http://bit.ly/1HXz6vv )
jurov: http://www.coindesk.com/my-life-inside-a-remote-chinese-bitcoin-mine/ Wu Gang Style mining
mats: fun fact: OS X has a Lisp interpreter in the kernel.
jurov: ok. and do you know that new eulora accounts require one to come here, register with gpg and get a rating?
danielpbarron: he offered to list eulora as a "featured item" in their games section, provided it has a .deb installer
danielpbarron: Jef91, do you have a gpg key by any chance?
Jef91: Building a simple deb package isn't difficult
mats: fun fact: x86 is little endian because it ultimately descends from an architecture that did arithmetic serially, one bit at a time, and handling carries was considered cleaner that way.
trinque: chained to a dungeon wall, still bothers to suck in her belly for the shot
mats: http://malwaretech.net/MTSBK.pdf 'A Firmware Assisted Bootkit'
danielpbarron: i see a box called "read:public_key"
punkman: he was scraping for a year or something
punkman: jurov, maybe ask that guy I linked for a bunch of them?
mircea_popescu: well he said he was gonna do a write-up
mircea_popescu: a number of explanations are readily available : a) M works on specific code that happened to be wrung out of openssh codebase somehow. differential reading of gpg and openssh should indicate it then, and patch history should show us who knows better.
ascii_field: i doubt that we'll see the same 'mirroring' trick re: ssh keys, as it is a creature of the old-fashioned 32-bit fingerprint in pre-civilized pgptron
mircea_popescu: m is a composite of those two
ascii_field: jurov: in no case is trial division more efficient than gcd(n, product-of-a-bunch-of-primes)
mircea_popescu: basically if you have a gated community of people who all have 19 yo daughters, everybody has to sleep at the neighbour's!
