asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: calls dump register snapshot liquishit on the stack, and inevitably ding the cache, whereas loops not
asciilifeform will re-play ffa benchmarks on the longjmp gnat, once the latter's built, but doesn't expect to find any measurable diff
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you give a damn re exception-propagation speed, prolly oughta measure that. otherwise seems like the docs didn't lie, it dun do anyffin to ordinary jump
asciilifeform: ( ~= 'a bullet hit stierlitz in his head. 'a dumdum', he deduced, scatter-brained.' )
asciilifeform: 'Пуля попала Штирлицу в голову. «Разрывная», — пораскинув мозгами, догадался Штирлиц.'(tm)(r)
asciilifeform: and not as if anyone was there to write down his 'fuck, really'
asciilifeform: dunno, d00d had perhaps the 1 working brain in the whole outfit. sorta why he was picked for the speshultreatment.
asciilifeform: ingenohl << funny how these people let themselves get fucked by shit crypto not 1ce, but 2ce.
asciilifeform: iirc rose had a 2way ticket and took option of throwing out the return half.
asciilifeform: morale << recall butthurts over 'tokyo rose' ?
asciilifeform wonders if admiral yamamoto, as he hurriedly seppukued in his falling bomber, fulla holes from 'mustangs' that appeared out of nowhere in the middle of fuckingnoewhere pacific -- understood that his crypto had failed
asciilifeform: the sorta thing that makes e.g. bolixologies, look quite trivial in comparison. ( sad old crate, fits on desk; but try and fit the finns )
asciilifeform will admit to having eaten some of the lang, but strictly for sport, and by no means could atm stand for duty as translator
asciilifeform strongly suspects there's a motherlode of naggumism of finns, that could be excavated if anyone were to liberate the 'dejanews' stash.☟︎
asciilifeform: last i knew d00d wasn't dead yet, but tended his garden (actual garden, with cabbages) in silence.
asciilifeform: well, he was what he referred to as 'organiker' , i.e. synthetic chemist in the germanic tradition. the industry evaporated from under him.
asciilifeform: al had longer run, sank with the 'vhs civ' that birthed hivm
asciilifeform: naggum burned out like cheap american match.
asciilifeform: not counting, err, the actual dead greeks' , that is
asciilifeform wouldn't be terribly surprised if one day mircea_popescu digs up the wreckage of an attempted 'trilema' that was run in e.g. classical greek , tho
asciilifeform: ( see also the perpetuum mobile / square circles thrd )
asciilifeform: how folx react to 'hrm, this -- is broken' is possibly the ultimate exam.
asciilifeform recalls the (perhaps) apotheosis of 'republic of ichkeria', when they held council to pick 'official language', and close runner-up to arabic (which ~nobody knew) was... osman turkish . which , presumably, no archaeologist could be found to excavate, and so the thread died.
asciilifeform: hrm so what's 'defection' actually ~do~ to them ? seems then that it's rather like firing pistol into slime mold
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: didja ever find out whether that branch tentacle ended up closing shop on acct of the escape ?
asciilifeform: strictly re chix -- in '90s chechen harems filled up with chix from ru, on exactly same scheme of http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-13#1895936 . but 'social media'ism not invented yet then, so the publication crown afaik goes to mircea_popescu .☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: arguably intra-reich lateral move tho, jp is sad usg colony for many yrs nao.
asciilifeform: in asciilifeform's extended meatwot, there was a greybeard d00d who agreed, in 1980s, to leave a u.s. semiconductor co and chair a jp one. (but was eventually lured back, quietly)
asciilifeform: on top of this, backbone of bureaucracy is reddit-fat / old bags, these are safe from mircea_popescuation as i understand
asciilifeform: ( i suppose could empty it of chix, if there were 9000 mircea_popescu's , but there's exactly 1, at least in my light cone )
asciilifeform: to rewrite the eqn, how many nicoleci's would mircea_popescu have to lure off, to visibly dent the thing
asciilifeform: ( not to mention, there's ~0 seekrit about the tech, it's deadly snoar )
asciilifeform: that wasn't my nitpick tho ( it's sure as fuck 'crown' ) but re ~who~ runs off. is it a 'defection' if lowly paper pusher , and not brass ?
asciilifeform: mega-supplier of golden toilet. same folx who e.g. conned the ministry of subway trains into buying $maxint 'detectors' ( that later all thrown out, ~homeopathic )
asciilifeform: diana_coman: this is quite puzzling, esp. since i've built ave1's gnat on 1 box, and since copied to handful of others, on each into an entirely diff dir
asciilifeform: ( granted, they also selectively hire for this, even so much as having been off the reservation counts against candidate. but this is imho strictly secondary. )
asciilifeform spend yrs in the unfortunate company of erry known species of usgtard , and came to conclusion that the principal 'limiting reactant' for defections is... they ain't got where to. ~nobody outside the amerigulag needs ~any of'em for anyffin.
asciilifeform: 'the Cyber Conspirators created a Facebook account that purported to belong to a USIC employee and former colleague of Witt, and which utilized legitimate information and photos from the USIC employee’s actual Facebook account. This particular fake account caused several of Witt’s former colleagues to accept “friend” requests' << lol! defectors aint what they usedto be...☟︎
asciilifeform: 'Facebook, Twitter and Google are actively restricting conservative content through biased algorithms. Silicon Valley doesn't want you to read our articles. Bypass the censorship, sign up for our newsletter now!' << BingoBoingo write'em a mail ?☟︎
