mircea_popescu: yeah, it's not lost on me
that i'm
the loudest preacher of continence in a cloister of monks muchly more restrained and disciplined
than myself.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: but, as
the eternally mentioned bottle well informs :
the above has any merit only inasmuch it rankles
the subject himself. otherwise it's nothing ; and besides
there's many ways
to, in brick pollitt's words, "hear
that little click"
mircea_popescu: adolescence is
the perceiving of boundless possibilities and maturity comes with
the comprehension of
the bounds.
Framedragger: i like my rc airplanes. "the will of history necessitates you
to X" has a marx'ified hegelian vibe :p
☟︎☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: not
to mention of all
the
truly priceless fishing and whatnot else, history hasn't recorded.
mircea_popescu: well, anyway, i suppose it is a good
thing
the intelligent people involved could you know, pursue
their own self-determined will and etcetera. who knows how many glorious flights of amateur rc airplanes
this obviously reasonable arrangement gave
the world!
mircea_popescu: "a
technology so powerful, so secret, it needn't even exist!"

the story of alpha is perhaps one of
the best illustrations of
the fundamentally anti-intellectual stance and calling of
the female state. 1980s
true 64 bit architecture, well supported (openvms started
there, ffs, go revolutionize shit in 2015 with
the remnants of 1980s
tech). "sold"
to fiorina's company, never heard from again, because gotta prop up intel.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-10 10:43 phf: i don't quite remember, what goes where, but i'm pretty sure
the emulator.c
that you linked is a frankenstein
that primarily emulates alpha,
though it has some signifcant knowledge about what
the alpha emulator does, so it's not quite qemu, but something a lot scarrier
a111: Logged on 2017-03-10 10:39 phf: asciilifeform: if you spent
time with it
though, you'll realize
that it's an assembly dump of
the original emulator written for alpha, and
the "emulator" part is actually a combination of c and lisp necessary
to ~translate original alpha assembly into portable-ish c~

mircea_popescu: you
totally gotta
to eat more varied cunt, i can
tell by your vowels your gyneceum's monocultural!

☟︎ davout: other
than
that nailed it
phf: there's a
translation code (in lisp)
that
takes
that alpha body and spits out c equilvalent of
the BIS ... SUBL ... etc. sequence

☟︎ phf: i've spent some
time with it before, improving mac os support, and working out crash issues

☟︎☟︎ phf: asciilifeform:
there's several sources of vlm floating around, some of
them improved upon by independent hackers (in
the direct meaning of
the word improve)
lobbes: trinque: ah
thank you!
trinque: in fact, I'll go ahead and get
the logbot-service
thing released now, since it's been running
the wot & voicing for maybe a month now
trinque: happy
to help when you feel like
trying it out.
lobbes: sure, but from what I can observe, your own deedbot (and others' log-o-trons) appear
to operate in a more sane manner. I guess I'm just saying I have much
to learn
trinque: cool, later in
the
thread I'm convinced
the whole
thing is reasonable
lobbes: I'm still in
the process of climbing out of
the primordial soup, so
to speak. 'had
to start somewhere, etc';
Though I realize I will need
to flamethrow my own creations soon enough and rebuild once I 'evolve' a bit more. But all in due
time

trinque: I said
to him "students may learn swordplay but may not
tell us
the fork in
their hands is a sword"
trinque: I'm sure
they have a cloud API for
that
trinque: mod6:
the
thing should really have one of
those google AIs
to figure out which goes with which
mod6: and would have
the same input hashes.
mod6: in
the spirit of experimentation, it makes sense
that one experiment would not necessairly contain
the same changes as a different experiment.
mod6: no worries. shinohai was building, asked me
to double check just
to be sure.
thought it was worth
the mention
to future spelunkers.
mod6: which is fine, if you only use one of
the
three above, but not good if you
try
to use >1 of
them.
mod6: asciilifeform_blackhole_odometer.vpatch, asciilifeform_blocktimer.vpatch, and asciilifeform_goodbye_pingers_fixed.vpatch all have
the same input hash.
mod6: alf was it mentioned
that some of
these recent submission need regrinding?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> (he means republic of china, yes, not
the communist fake state ?) << Well
they both lost
mircea_popescu: (he means republic of china, yes, not
the communist fake state ?)
mircea_popescu: you'd be surprised how many people are fixated on
this age business.
mircea_popescu: obviously argentina's ex whore is going
to jail as well...
mircea_popescu: dude
these women presidents aren't doing so well after all ? brazil, korea... who has one left ? impeach
the queen ?
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: basically, and
that's strictly it - because i couldn't intuitively wrap my head around
the fact
that average number of nodes per specific folder would be _really_ low if depth is say more
than 3. still weird in my head, but yeah.
mircea_popescu: is
there such a
thing as an indian who isn't a
total shitbag ?
trinque: Le mariage de Macron est la publicité parfaite pour un
taux de natalité non existant en France << l0l
trinque: sandpaper on
the cock will do
that.
trinque: BingoBoingo:
the guy looks miserable
Framedragger: << (obviously
these'd be more useful with actual empirical numbers of average/median seek
times, writes, seek/write as
things get congested, etc.)
Framedragger: (really kindergarten level simple but wanted
to see
this myself, could be useful for reference - unless it's incorrect..)
