spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-06#1710923 <-- nah. it's exactly that: members of the congregation don't have physical access to reset buttons in their prayer beads; so hardware vendor inserts an automated reset for when prayer bead crashes. ☝︎

spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-05#1710904 <-- ha, Freescale soc. I'm really curious if you manage(d) to disable that. older Freescales usually have that part documented, but some (esp. Qualcomm) are just proprietary ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: maybe they evacuate to buenos aires.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-19 16:18 mircea_popescu: it's incredible, that place, the official capitol of the spanish main, every monkey from argentina to panama worships miami.
BingoBoingo: Hence the gem'ness
mircea_popescu: "if the illegals weren't here, guess who'd be picking the crops."
mircea_popescu: maybe he sees it all too well.
BingoBoingo: Another gem found in the wild: "I literally had my high school sociology teacher argue that "if the illegals aren't here, who will pick our crops?" He was black, too. It baffles me that he, of all people, couldn't see the argument he made was literally the same argument the Democrats used to enslave his ancestors."
BingoBoingo had a pretty awesome dream last sleep period. Was chilling with the Trumpreich at the Trumpstag and saw unveiling of TrumpKorea response in the form of resuming US atmospheric nuclear tests, but in KKKalifornia this time.

BingoBoingo: Also the media noise today is full of "dreamers" as though that's what anchor bebes were always called.
mike_c: up to block 358824. chugging along.
mike_c: pretty good after a week at the beach
asciilifeform: can't get to the shell either. this is moar of a 'chineseness test' -- 'board is unusable unless you put jumper back on right-over-there'
mircea_popescu: i dunno, can't use them in a rocket if they keep rebooting ?
asciilifeform: can't think of how that'd appl
mircea_popescu: maybe it's some derpy "gps 1 meter resolution and not above 100m altitude" thing, you know ? ☟︎
asciilifeform: fwiw armv5tel-softfloat-linux-gnueabi-gcc builds out-of-the-box for this rubbish.
mircea_popescu: this is starting to sound like arm-texas.
asciilifeform: it's this idiocy that autoresets crashware 'because writing correct software is impossible' or somesuch.
asciilifeform got a chinese arm board going, 'mx28', after it was quite near the rubbish bin. tip for future folx trying to get one of these things up, but it resets itself every second or so : look for 'watchdog' in the schematic, and try to find and kill ☟︎
ben_vulpes: oregon very definitely does not try to kill denizens on a regular basis; might explain the weenie factor in these parts
trinque: it tries to kill you.
trinque: uh? ever heard of texas folks?
trinque: relatedly, it's been lulzy listening to all the new houstonians re: "holy shit global warming superhurricanes"
ben_vulpes: but this is an old thread.
ben_vulpes: now if these remote outposts were made of stone perhaps this would be less of a concern, but they gotta be made cheaply, and out of the same vinyl as the rest of the shitboard housing stock
ben_vulpes: folks gotta have their cabins in the middleoffuckingnowhere and mother government gotta keep their 'investments' from burning down.
ben_vulpes: nevermind that if one just let the dead wood burn out every five years as god intended the beetles would be vastly less numerous and their impact negligible
ben_vulpes: "nono, it's the two degrees warmer winters that let the beetles chew through more forest than usual!"
ben_vulpes: no asciilifeform it's thanks to al gore and global warming dontcha know
ben_vulpes: the firefighting project in place since the fifties or so?
asciilifeform: did we ever do the 'usg is directly responsible for every forest fire' thread, or is it immediately obvious how, and dun need thread..?
ben_vulpes considering buying a few air filters for the haus
ben_vulpes: aaand the pacific northwest is on fire
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: laugh, but there was actually a shitstarter featuring a similar object.
mircea_popescu: along with sutherland and whoever is the anon dumb bitch playing opposite.
mircea_popescu: "six degrees of separation" from humanity. rocks are five degrees, computers are like three. will smith is six.
mircea_popescu: if hussein bahamas didn't (somehow, incomprehensibly) manage to convince everyone forevermore that black people are fundamentally and for that reason unfit for any sort of social participation, this cinematic atrocity with will smith certainly does.
mircea_popescu: as they say, if you're not going up you're thereby going down, and indeed - the unmaturing avortons are not merely stationary, but regressive.
mircea_popescu: it's not so much that the pantsuit is a chtonic cult, but rather that the entire, complete and sole aspiration of these scumbag's lives is to climb back into mom's amniotic sac.
mircea_popescu: there is that.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-05#1710855 << point was that it was even lulzier snakeoil than apparent -- the solarshade derps actually dream of jacking microshit directly into their skulls ☝︎
mircea_popescu: typical "and ima use the redundant capacity for" job.

trinque: an archive.is mirror would be colossal, and not in the idiot american "synonym for super ossum" sense
asciilifeform: mod6: several folx, incl. asciilifeform , attempted, turns out that it is harder than looks at first glance
mod6: i feel like we aught to make our own mirror ☟︎
asciilifeform: seems to work here

asciilifeform: ( 'trim' is the procedure whereby space marked empty by the fs, is made known to the write-levelling controller )
lobbes goes to read up on 'trim'
asciilifeform: otherwise your disk will burn out in half or less of the time.
asciilifeform: lobbes: make absolutely sure that you have 'trim' working.
asciilifeform: ( entirely aside from 'blockchain grows to fill it' )
asciilifeform: lobbes: the bigger ssd, the longer life, consider why
lobbes: Just ordered my 480gb ssd for my soon-to-be trb node. Hopefully big enough, but after review of the logs it sounds like the things die long before they fill
asciilifeform: ACHTUNG s.nsa customers! all outstanding FG orders to today SHIPPED !

asciilifeform: ( observe what was available in 1960s, but NOT today... )
a111: Logged on 2017-09-05 06:07 mircea_popescu: i am very happy with the computer interfaces as were available cca 1960.
asciilifeform: if usg were to unban it, it'd take over the american market overnight: deathstation !
asciilifeform: picture the 'realism' !

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-05#1710808 << this, in the form of the comp that actually kills you when you die in world of whatevercraft etc, is an ancient dream. and pretty sure that ~every kid reinvents it. ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2017-09-05 06:09 mircea_popescu: all the progress in terms of "BCI" has been shittier keyboards and latency in the machine. noty.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-05#1710807 << 'bci' has 0 to do with keyboards, shitty or great, it's that thing where they drill into yer brain and put electrode. so far worx well enough for quadriplegic to no longer be stuck with ye old blink-morse, nao has 2d mouse cursor ( this however is not new, decade or so iirc ) ☝︎

mircea_popescu: like some god damned "restaurant" / morgue of some roach motel, "keep bringing the pasta in, dwayne, who cares it's 9 months old. they're paying for it eventually!"
mircea_popescu: in fact, there has been NO improvement in the field. gorilla-arm touch screens are exactly the equivalent of the "NEW! BETTER! MODERN! SLEEK! WILL TAKE OFF ANY DAY NOW!!!" "3d vision" crap. comes back on a 17.8 year period like some fucking comet of stupid, "hey, maybe they'll like it this time"
mircea_popescu: i am very happy with the computer interfaces as were available cca 1960. ☟︎
hanbot: mircea_popescu> what['s "bci" supposed to be in human language ? "Brain-computer interfaces allow you to manipulate computers and machinery with your thoughts." i.e. 'mirror mirror on the wall, who's the bestest of them all? (me! me! me!)', i'm guessing.
mircea_popescu: + the logs, goes without saying.
mircea_popescu: the naggum archive, though epistolary in stile, also much appreciated in these halls. though prolly worth more for the commentary than for what it says.
a111: Logged on 2017-09-05 04:06 ppsk: are there any other blogs worth reading, similar but not necessarily the same as Mircea's?
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-05#1710756 >> sure. thelastpsychiatrist.com is pretty good. oglaf.com is also pretty good. ☝︎
