mp_en_viaje: for the rotaku club : here's a most foamy, in places stylistically vitriolic, antique mp - diana_coman lampoon set. 1. http://trilema.com/2011/vindem-casa-fara-utilitati/ ; 2. http://ossasepia.com/2011/08/28/cand-intentia-bate-realitatea/ ; 3. http://trilema.com/2011/fetele-rele/ ; 4. http://ossasepia.com/2011/08/28/raspuns-autorului-ultragiat/
a111: Logged on 2019-05-08 08:53 diana_coman: no; you can however spend it on something else and I somehow never manage to run out of "something else"; but yes, I can see the idea; I don't know about who is there to do all the work and get it all growing
mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, yup ; hence http://trilema.com/2009/fata-satului/ etc.
mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, the idea is for it to be fun ; and it's fun when it's this thing of excellence, "what's the absolute best that could be done here".
mp_en_viaje: (item also needs 3 founding members. diana_coman spyked you feel like being founding members ?)
mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, well ? no olive trees / figs grow there yes ? that's the criteria.
a111: Logged on 2019-05-06 06:55 diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-06#1911324 -> yes, it's a brick of a book but in fact not really dense or anything; everytime I haul it out of the shelf and onto the table I inevitably wonder why exactly is it so heavy really.
asciilifeform: diana_coman iirc also has 1, can confirm
a111: Logged on 2019-02-05 21:05 diana_coman: speaking of Barnes' Ada book: it IS very useful and I certainly do go back to it quite often still for all sorts but it still has at times such ideas that I can't stand; e.g. "The reader will probably feel that the activation mechanism is somewhat elaborate. However, in practice, the details will rarely need to be considered. They are mentioned in order to show that the mechanism is well defined rather than because of their everyday import
a111: Logged on 2019-05-05 20:29 mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, it wouldn't be plain guesstimates. ask each member of the group, "how many sexual encounters did you participate in last year" say, discover the doods had about 3x as much sex as the gals. somehow. nohomo.

mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, i guess maybe i'm being ddos'd ? nfi, by now kinda weird.
a111: Logged on 2019-03-26 01:46 mircea_popescu: diana_coman, trinque BingoBoingo mod6 asciilifeform phf lobbes spyked ave1 : http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/c0QfD/?raw=true
asciilifeform: iirc diana_coman built the cuntoo that runs on the 2nd s.mg box, on this gentoo.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: depends what means 'usable'
asciilifeform: diana_coman: it's what you have on s.mg primary machine
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, no argument.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, yes, but this hope is naive. in practice http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-20#1882391 / http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-20#1882393 ☝︎☝︎
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, higher life's just not a calling.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, do you recall what was the format for exclusion on btcbase search ?
a111: Logged on 2019-05-01 19:37 diana_coman: myeah; I'm not a fan of remote-install anything for that matter but anyway.
a111: Logged on 2019-05-01 13:58 diana_coman: does #trilema even have 50 users? lolz
a111: Logged on 2019-04-30 12:17 diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-30#1910244 -> bwahaha, so smecher -> slut and fetii mosului -> the girls of the mosque, it might be on to something there; but yes, wooden tongue 2.0; I keep having deja vu on this but I can't quite turn it up if indeed it was discussed previously with same conclusion.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: diana_coman provoked me to think : until arm64 gnat is fixed ( and we dun know when this will be! cuz ave1 is MIA ! ) it does not make sense to expand the rk pilot plant . do we want instead to fill the next crate entirely with amd ? let's make a decision on this in the near term, so that we can put down a definite date re next buildout
asciilifeform: diana_coman: one we install additional units, this machine will be listed in the catalogue next to rk. ( presently the only available unit is the one discussed earlier, and only by special arrangement as with hanbot )
BingoBoingo: <diana_coman> that should be absolutely enough, I don't see any trouble with it; and disk was a separate issue irc? << I have some spinning disks in my surplus pile.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i would proclaim moar loudly that it is 'standard' , but i have no way to guarantee the continued availability of this (or other) particular iron, given as i do not manufacture it , and there is no plan to ever obtain it 'new from factory' , 'clean' amd is no longer produced.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: as i think is obvious, experimental ~os~ install , over remote wire, is a tricky and potentially painful biz .
asciilifeform: diana_coman: disk, correct, separate. arrange with BingoBoingo re required size of disk .
asciilifeform: diana_coman: indeed , this is the de-facto piz standard for x86 . on acct of cost , availability, and asciilifeform-approved vintage of subcomponents
asciilifeform: diana_coman: 1.9GHz x 24core (Opteron 6168) 24G ram.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: to answer the 2nd q, the next delivery run is slated to include two additional machines of the same type.
BingoBoingo: diana_coman: Hanbot was also working off of a Cuntoo live image without any persistence. You may have better outcomes starting from an installed system software where changes you make persist.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: there is exactly 1 idle amd box currently.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i am not aware of hanbot lodging a complaint re ~the iron~ ( plz point to log if missed )
a111: Logged on 2019-05-01 11:09 mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, prolly hanbot's ex-machine keks
a111: Logged on 2019-05-01 08:59 diana_coman: BingoBoingo, asciilifeform I'm looking for a machine to use as experimentation-ground for all sorts of republican software (e.g. cuntoo, logbot); my rockchip fine as it is at doing its blog-hosting job, turns out to be essentially the wrong architecture for this sort of use so I need something else; what can Pizarro offer (even in medium term, it's not something burning)?
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-01#1910415 << diana_coman would dulap-style box suffice ? there is one. ( mp_en_viaje pointed out downthread, same 1 as hanbot worked on ) ☝︎
mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, prolly hanbot's ex-machine keks ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2019-04-29 15:39 asciilifeform: i'ma guess diana_coman is using mircea_popescu's method. canhaz the current ip, diana_coman plox ?
a111: Logged on 2019-04-30 12:17 diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-30#1910244 -> bwahaha, so smecher -> slut and fetii mosului -> the girls of the mosque, it might be on to something there; but yes, wooden tongue 2.0; I keep having deja vu on this but I can't quite turn it up if indeed it was discussed previously with same conclusion.
a111: Logged on 2019-04-30 08:57 mp_en_viaje: spyked, diana_coman check this shit out : as per google trasnlate, "To understand ourselves from the beginning, what's a slut? Ehehei, the girls of the mosque, the dumb is not the shoe. ' And sucker? Hahaha. Well that sucker is who puts the shoe '. Lamuriti? Mine, we're going." is the equivalent of "
a111: Logged on 2019-04-28 08:28 diana_coman: asciilifeform: so basically the "can't have x" is more indicative of "didn't look for it irl seriously enough"?

asciilifeform: i'ma guess diana_coman is using mircea_popescu's method. canhaz the current ip, diana_coman plox ? ☟︎
asciilifeform: diana_coman: can plz post a traceroute from your end ?
asciilifeform: diana_coman: pretty strange
asciilifeform: diana_coman: ah this, entirely troo. which is why asciilifeform periodically goes to various meatspace heathen pits.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: not sure i grasp
asciilifeform: diana_coman: lol how could this ever be ruled out.
spyked: diana_coman, tbh I'm not sure, so I'm posing it as a question. there's also prolly some merit to the idea of each bot having, optionally, a logotron attached to it (since it's already listening...)
a111: Logged on 2019-04-24 16:48 diana_coman: the whole C-thread reads... interestingly from the depths of planeshit client +crystalspace
a111: Logged on 2019-03-15 13:12 diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-03-15#1902694 -> I always thought jeans were cowboy stuff, not miner; and at least initially part of the "waiting for the americans" i.e. a tribute to an imagined greatness; how it morphed afterwards into an uniform I have no idea.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: iirc we had thrd re 'trash panda' ; picture aggressive 20kg rat, eats e.g. cat, tunnels through drywall, w/out breaking a sweat
a111: Logged on 2019-04-08 10:01 diana_coman: I wanted to ask whether Bartholomew went back to its roots!!
mp_en_viaje likes how diana_coman
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i also on paper.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: right. ( and in the peh-related later ch.s, the text is actually the 'official' spec , and not the proggy )
asciilifeform: diana_coman: fair'nuff
asciilifeform: which is opposite of how one usually writes bit positions, and annoys some folx ( e.g. diana_coman )
asciilifeform: no hurry mod6 , it'll make sense once you eat diana_coman's piece
a111: Logged on 2019-04-18 14:05 asciilifeform: diana_coman: aaa you were speaking of the diagrams in 10, 12, 14 . yes they're 'mirrored'.
asciilifeform: ( so far no one else mentioned it in the log, but i have nfi whether because wasn't headache-inducing, or no one read far enuff in other than diana_coman )
asciilifeform: mod6: outta curiosity, didja have same headache as diana_coman , with the left-right diagrams ?
a111: Logged on 2019-04-17 20:20 asciilifeform: mod6 ^ + other ffa-eating folx, i suspect will find diana_coman's piece quite handy
mod6: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-17#1908842 << Thank you! Yeah, caught a glimpse of this, very nice graphs indeed, diana_coman. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2019-04-17 19:55 diana_coman: asciilifeform: my sigs for ch9-ch11 are at http://ossasepia.com/reference-code-shelf/#selection-693.0-755.49
asciilifeform: the historical meaning ( and iirc diana_coman pointed this out in the piece ) is simply from how european writes a number, left to right, e.g. 10, bin 1010 >> 1 is 101 (5) , the motion being to the right
asciilifeform: diana_coman: what didja use to make the flow graph in http://ossasepia.com/2019/04/17/reading-notes-on-ffa-ch1-ch4/ ?
asciilifeform: it is entirely possible tho , to grasp the material w/out them ( diana_coman apparently did -- or used a mirror ? i do not know )
asciilifeform: drew the e.g. ch10 'electrical' illustrations 'in reverse' w/out even noticing ( and apparently diana_coman is 1st to notice )
asciilifeform: diana_coman: possibly asciilifeform is odd in this respect, but can rotate things around axis of symmetry w/out really thinking about it, possibly this leads to the sort of thing that irritated diana_coman
asciilifeform: diana_coman: aaa you were speaking of the diagrams in 10, 12, 14 . yes they're 'mirrored'. ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2019-04-17 20:28 asciilifeform: diana_coman: i'm still stumped re where it was that i had 'most junior bits on the left' tho
asciilifeform: diana_coman: re 'Natural' type -- this is one of asciilifeform's persistent headaches -- the lang forces certain things to be indexed by 'Natural', and i optimized for minimal # of casts ( i fucking hate casts, and imho the fact that one cannot write a proggy ENTIRELY without'em, is a language bug )
asciilifeform: re the range-independent thing -- it is part of a larger picture, summarized in http://www.loper-os.org/?p=2892#selection-231.1-391.71 ( in turn from an earlier diana_coman thread, in fact . )
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i'm still stumped re where it was that i had 'most junior bits on the left' tho ☟︎
asciilifeform: diana_coman: re the stylistic nitpicks : there'll defo be a tail-end ch where various items get moar descriptive names. and i agree with diana_coman's pt re e.g. 'Get_Head'
asciilifeform: mod6 ^ + other ffa-eating folx, i suspect will find diana_coman's piece quite handy ☟︎
asciilifeform: diana_coman: 1st link malformed btw
asciilifeform will have to switch to diff machine to properly eat diana_coman's piece today , as it gets mangled on my usual 90degree display
asciilifeform: diana_coman: a++, will read, and will roll the sigs into next ch
a111: Logged on 2019-04-09 21:47 diana_coman: the easy gauge would be - go mention Ada and see reaction; far from "martian artefact" style; but that being said, I'm not giving it as "fact, here it is, started on x-y-z at 5pm"
a111: Logged on 2019-04-09 21:37 diana_coman: I suspect by now the "Ada-space" is rather mapped since I keep bumping into the same names
asciilifeform: goodnight diana_coman
asciilifeform: diana_coman: upstack to 'quasi-decent heathen adaists', 1 item from my notes is http://www.dmitry-kazakov.de/ada/components.htm
asciilifeform: diana_coman: so far i've found that reading heathen ada examples ~cost~ me time, rather than saved, and put into my head things that later had to laboriously pump out. and the zip fella is no exception.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: what made you remember the item ? ( was looking for lzwtron ? )
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i'm quite skeptical re the 'unavoidable' of the use of unboundeds and pointerisms (in re the latter, outside of unix api glue) in the general case, tho
asciilifeform: diana_coman: he's where i lifted the 'gnathtml' coad-to-www method thing. but i never had any occasion to use his zip lib in the field
asciilifeform: diana_coman: believe or not, they had no porter or anyffing resembling.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: tlp had the piece re 'they get faux-brokerage acct to Feel Like a Trader'
a111: Logged on 2019-04-06 12:28 diana_coman: it seems quite surprising to me there isn't more interest but tbf I haven't used local WU ever, would need to even look it up, lol.
mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, stripper heels, buttplugs, electronics, i got like 14 suits... it's heavy, what.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-09 06:08 diana_coman: oh hey, how's Qatar, Mocky ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu & diana_coman for instance have a multiplayer game. lobbes has various useful automata (e.g. auction bot) . http://therealbitcoin.org exists. and plenty else.
BingoBoingo: diana_coman: WU is not. Normal bank wires work. WU is offered as an option because it works for people inside the wire sending to LATAM. Unsure how smooth WU UK would be.
BingoBoingo: diana_coman put together a crypto library, ave1 has a leaner GNAT, and asciilifeform has a bignum library and other products.
mp_en_viaje: in other news, the howling beauty of asciilifeform 's latest production haunts me. diana_coman has a point yo, absolutely should be an article on yer blog. not like it's not been done before.
a111: Logged on 2019-04-04 12:04 diana_coman: re relish or not I quite suspect many would be way happier if they didn't "have to unique"
