mircea_popescu: they did
this dumb shit whereby passing was done by shared registers ; every process or w/e could see 8 proper and 8 shared or such.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform at issue is
the count of "registger windows"
that can be implemented.
mircea_popescu: leaving aside how "our idea of scalable is
to define a number up
to 32 and
then you can go from 3
to 32 and
this is now scaling" hurr.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ftr,
the "register window" spark
thing seems
the height of idiocy, but what do i know.
mircea_popescu: the usg not holding up
to its side of any bargain it ever made -- also surprise.
to some people.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so
the cost will be epsilon, 0 from real estate and epsilon from heat.
mircea_popescu: the design of any general purpose item is above,
there's no exceptions.
mircea_popescu: (what is
the
total cost of
this item ? what percentage of
that is
this new addition ? what is
the output of
this item ? what percentage of
that would
the new addition produce ? make
these
two rations equal, you're done adding parts.)
mircea_popescu: but
the decision of whether
to have or not have barrel shifter is strictly carried on
the cost of it.
mircea_popescu: that's
the design flow. automobile,
therefore powerplant,
therefore ice.
mircea_popescu: car gets internal combustion engine NOT because "the needs of
the buyer", but because it needs a power plant and
that's
the better powerplant available.
the needs oif
the buyer are welcome
to adapt.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform design does not proceed
towards requirement.
mircea_popescu: for my own curiosity, what's
the state of
the art re "MINIMAL cpu design" ? ie,
the
theory of how many instructions mustg be in a set and why and per-instruction justification and everything ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: yep! and all
the same
things,
too. "community",
there;'s also a "sparc-climate science".
mircea_popescu: so indeed, nuked very well.
they even invented "other
things"
to be it instead of it.
mircea_popescu: as per google : "SPARC is a global coalition committed
to making Open
the default for research and education." and Sparc - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparc Sparc is an exclusive import distributor for
the Philippine market.
jhvh1: pete_dushenski:
The operation succeeded.
pete_dushenski: west will split off in my lifetime, probably into
two pieces. prairies will have stand your ground, west coast will have "he's entitled
to his opinion"
pete_dushenski: the difference being, pravda didn't used
to publish post-interrogation bitching by defendent. now... does.
mircea_popescu: he's exactly right, at
that. precisely
the sort of
thing
that happenbs in soviet unions.\
pete_dushenski: like, no shit dude, wtf kinda revelation is
this. another quiet #t reader, apparently.
pete_dushenski: "The whole experience was horrifying," says Adam Lackman, founder of
TVAddons and defendant in a copyright infringement lawsuit launched by
the
television giants. "It felt like
the kind of
thing you would have expected
to have happened in
the Soviet Union." << my fav quote from piece.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: aha. actually saw
that already
this morning.
mircea_popescu: by mass,
the lenin world was built out of
the fat of
the idiots who lived in old shithouse, wrung out
through
their skin pores.
a111: Logged on 2017-01-26 14:44 asciilifeform: because unfortunately lenin was right when he wrote 'we build new world from
the planks of
the old shithouse we blew up, not from imported brick'
mircea_popescu: it seemed like it may exist ; upon examination it
turns out ignis fatuus
mircea_popescu: in
the process discovering
that a)
they diverge from
the spec and b) in no particular or ennumerable way.
mircea_popescu: unless we make an actual board for
the extant superh items
mircea_popescu: so it's basically "this piece of flotsam i once found which for a
time light up when you said boo".
mircea_popescu: but didn;'t
the dorks need
to use some kind of debugger
to get it
to boot linux anything ?
a111: Logged on 2017-07-31 17:07 asciilifeform:
the sh2, which is still massively made, beats
the mips micros available on open market in ability
to run from external rom
mircea_popescu: tales from
the crypt :
the new generation or how did it go
phf: oh, yeah,
the guy from
the
tv show. i
think i might've watched it back in russia, along sliders and quantum leap and such
mircea_popescu: ~only
thing
that can help with local carrier is if so and so "businessman" calls. otherwise...
phf: maybe it helps with a local carrier? "i was at
this party with such and such" works on people who don't usually go
to parties with such and such
mircea_popescu: i dunno,
they were figuring it's gonna help
their "careers", as if 200 dollar a show
tv extras in intl markets have fucking careers or somethign.
mircea_popescu: and all
the ~OLD~ ro
tv hookers were crowding him, it was fucking hysterical
to watch.
mircea_popescu: so i was once at a party, i dun recall
teh details, but
that dude, adrian whatever, was
there.
phf: yeah! i rewatched it recently on a plane ride, it's incredibly bad in
the way only 80s movies can be
