gabriel_laddel_p: just download the DB along with the UI.
gabriel_laddel_p: ditch the whole stupidity of "caching" the web, local storage etc
gabriel_laddel_p: phf: instead of having "web applications" we have a +v, invite only irc channel where our CL programs communicate. Well-formed messages are treated as FTP endpoints to download arbitrary information.
adlai: gabriel_laddel_p: please don't give me makework, it's more than enough to have received a rootset of (what's the word that means what 'people' actually mean when they say 'hopefully'?) useful material.
phf: wait how does cl-ftp ties into ircing?
Framedragger: i was not supposed to do anything gabriel_laddel_p. stop with the passive aggressive tone already, it's annoying
gabriel_laddel_p: adlai: ^ another thing you can do. The patch to fix CL-FTP is in the logs.
gabriel_laddel_p: Framedragger was supposed to put this together, but (surprise) has not. ☟︎
gabriel_laddel_p: phf: anyways, I have suggested using a +v irc channel + CL-FTP + beirc as a "CLIM-web" so we can ditch the browser tomorrow
gabriel_laddel_p: phf: you dun want to know about my life situation...
gabriel_laddel_p: for the record, does anyone know of an intelligent person who uses air fresheners/fabreez? ☟︎
gabriel_laddel_p can barely resist the urge to stick "google toxic encephalopathy" under each air freshener I find.
gabriel_laddel_p: that they worked?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the mined by another is probably the operative concern.
gabriel_laddel_p: What _exactly_ was so wrong with blackboards that they had to be done away with?
phf: gabriel_laddel_p: have you tried resurrecting (?) beirc, seems like a proper tmsr machine needs an irc client
gabriel_laddel_p: Godamnnit. I fucking _hate_ whiteboards and these stupid fucking "air fresheners" they stick all over the place.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel_p it's ternary not ternery.
gabriel_laddel_p: adlai: anyways, to that point, there is no deadline for any of this, but your updates should be ~weekly and you should be working on it 6hrs+ a day if you want your life to amount to anything.
gabriel_laddel_p: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-07#1598709< jesus fuck. I somehow misread this as anything other than "deadline". ☝︎
adlai: how's it go... "hidden are the devil's machinations" (rough transation of "nistarot hen darkei ha'el")
asciilifeform: (easier in the sense that the perpetrator does not risk having his withholdchain invalidated by a 'wild' tx being included twice (dun ask me why this would be a concern, but we DO know that they program with arse muscles) or conceivably mined by another
asciilifeform: adlai: there is an even simpler plausible hypothesis - that it is simply easier to build the massive blockwithhold-chains the cartel builds, if one does ~not~ include wild tx-en in'em
adlai: | size gradually enough that users don't realize they can pay lower fees again"
a111: Logged on 2017-01-06 06:27 ben_vulpes: eh, the leaving of free money on the ground baffles me.
adlai: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-06#1597346 << 09:13:20 adlai | one could argue a lot of things, such as "miners should voluntarily reduce the block size, to drive up fees, and then increase the block ☝︎
gabriel_laddel_p: netmonk: and a copy of the book
gabriel_laddel_p: netmonk: I don't want all of them (well, I do, but nevermind that) - I want the specific book & page number where knuth discusses balanced ternery.
gabriel_laddel_p: netmonk: also, I can't torrent anything atm
gabriel_laddel_p: netmonk: try reading my message again.
netmonk: gabriel_laddel_p: alright, but still, it's not so difficult to find it on bittorrent
gabriel_laddel_p: netmonk: then come back after a month or so and we'll see if we can have an actual conversation.
ben_vulpes: chop chop lol the stones on this guy
netmonk: gabriel_laddel_p: that's a valid reason currently
phf: actually it would be nice if somebody were to warez the cross referenced version of taocp that was produced by tug. stuff that's on bittorent is junk
netmonk: not so difficult to find taocp on bittorrent
gabriel_laddel_p: also, if you could locate the precise knuth book where he discusses balanced ternery, and then find me a warez copy, that would be useful ☟︎
gabriel_laddel_p: adlai: anyways, iirc hackers delight is a bunch of tricks for binary machines. I see no reason why you shouldn't just skip it.
adlai has lots of logs to catch up before amending the rating.
asciilifeform: that orbitz was only 1 foot in lisp planet, and had the most cpu-intensive piece in cpp.
deedbot: adlai rated gabriel_laddel_p 1 << likely impostor until verified otherwise, still needs a bouncer; otoh, talks plenty smart.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: according to dan weinreb (who died a couplea years ago; was one of the key smbx folx, and then -- much later -- also the orbitz air tickets thing) wrote (on his www, that is now vanished, though archive.org might have snapshot),
adlai: gabriel_laddel_p: fwiw, i intend to finish the hardcopy of hacker's delight that landed in my life before properly digesting the links you sent me, but out of politeness, i will skim them first.
adlai: mircea_popescu: iiuc qpx is the ~one~ proggy google did not rewrite in blub after it landed in their laps
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the air tickets thing -- worx, i've used it many times, fwiw.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform aha. doesn't seem to be going anywhere, iirc they also bought matrix, and never integrated
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they bought it (acquihire) for ~$1B
adlai tells that one story about the math teacher that drew a line on the blackboard, then fisted it to uproars from the audience ☟︎
mircea_popescu: ah google has an airfinder thing too ? had no idea. apparently written in cl indeed.
adlai: (also you seem to vastly overestimate my competence, which is fine - a common mistake. others here seem to have a better idea of it)
gabriel_laddel_p: adlai: some further food for thought
gabriel_laddel_p: adlai: well it seems I can't have you do what I had in mind. Could you instead please review http://homepage.divms.uiowa.edu/~jones/ternary/ and work out some basic ternery circuts for the eventual loper machine? ☟︎
adlai: also, don't laptop literally, that literally kills the sperm
gabriel_laddel_p: adlai: what runs on the machine that is actually sitting on your lap
adlai: and some sorta bsd but i don't own the iron
adlai: no, and my trb node never finished syncing either
gabriel_laddel_p: adlai: bored and want to do something useful?
a111: Logged on 2015-05-23 06:52 gabriel_laddel: ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> ben_vulpes in particular it's unclear to me how wise the "licenses" angle is for a serenissima derivative. while i declined to anull IP when diametric asked earlier, i am very very far from any sort of belief that the current model of that stack of stupidity has any sort of hope for survival. << i figured (perhaps stupi
a111: Logged on 2017-01-07 20:48 mircea_popescu: anyway, entertaining the thing as you describe at face value : if indeed your concern is a sort of bastardization as conceptually constructible from the foregoing, then the correct move is to build your masamune on musl and attach a license that forbids the empire (such as for instance the trb license ; or else one stating to use must be in l2, or rated by you, or any such thing). this will mostly protect you both technically
gabriel_laddel_p: http://rigetti.com/ < USG.MAGA also uses CL, though I'm not clear on the particulars atm
a111: Logged on 2017-01-07 20:46 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-07#1598536 << the btcbase logs run on lisp for instance. in fact #tmsr is afaik the largest lisp codebase in actual use (ignoring for a moment whatever portions of AWOG alf may wish to bring up).
Framedragger: well, i'm sorry if i angered you, did not intend that :)
Framedragger: this reminds me of when i earnestly tried to pull a "do you even positivism" russell's teapot "prove it" on mp re. his claims on Tor
Framedragger: take it easy friend, things can be said and appreciated in jest :)
a111: Logged on 2017-01-07 18:24 Framedragger: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-07#1598383 << reminds me of how i first chanced upon lisp. i was eighteen, more pretentious than now, and had eaten my first hashcake half an hour ago. i was reading esr, jumped to topic of lisp and homoiconicity, and was like... d0000d. this is how you penetrate the universe. knowwhatimsayin.
gabriel_laddel_p: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-07#1598397 < if you think haskell is of the same family of lisp you understood nothing. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: feminine pov. if you're a herd animal, trust === control.
netmonk: but trust isnt mutually excluded with control

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i really only need it to see when it's highlighted and talk back.
mircea_popescu: i only have a vague idea of what im gonna do with it anyway, will clarify in time.
ben_vulpes: new shiny entails capture of everything that comes out of irc servers and service/command module
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: do you want an ircbot to play with "now" and migration to trinque's new shiny be damned or do you want to wait for the new shiny?
ben_vulpes: even the mighty pblaster could not free them ☟︎
ben_vulpes: battery tie nuts were so solidly adhesed to the ties that the rod snapped
asciilifeform: or is there a storehouse with actual germans still in it, in cryostorage, next to the nazi ufo and atomic bell ?
asciilifeform: which one 'won't stand for it', the bearded d00dz enjoying themselves on rapesafari, or the chix ?
mircea_popescu: which only adds to the amusement -- got data about what they plan to do in case data leaks which has been now leaked.
deedbot: http://qntra.net/2017/01/the-fourth-reich-grips-berlin/ << Qntra - The Fourth Reich Grips Berlin ☟︎
gabriel_laddel_p: when creating my image, why must I copy using cp -dpR /somedir/* /someotherdir/ rather than the -a flag?
mircea_popescu: it might be a good idea to write all these down ; there's a decent chance people here may read, and a not negligible chance at least one knows why it fails.
gabriel_laddel_p: mircea_popescu: something like that. There are a whole slew of issues: the init that Martin ships works fine, but if I substitute my own init - breaks. Among a million other things I have don't understand, such as
gabriel_laddel_p: I cannot create an image that comes with all the required goodies without breaking something or other.
gabriel_laddel_p: and it works fine. The problem is in this "image" business.
gabriel_laddel_p: syslinux is the bootloader
mircea_popescu: in my own mind, it's just unsquash the image, impose a portage on it / make other customisations and resquash it. at least that's how it ~should~ work what the everloving fuck.
gabriel_laddel_p: If you know the dozen lines of bash that will do this, do tell.
gabriel_laddel_p: Yes. For one, I can't create a working livecd. Secondly, it should not touch your personal files when replicating.
mircea_popescu: and this is for some reason mroe than a dozen lines of bash, for instance ?
gabriel_laddel_p: One of the features I need to complete is replication, which is to say: "A single procedure call being all that is necessary to bundle the entirety of the (possibly heavily modified) sources into a redistributable bootable USB stick installer or network download. "
gabriel_laddel_p: Oh right. Masamune is a gentoo (no systemd) curated for (sbcl) lisp development only. It offers graphics, CAS & other mathematical libs all in the same lisp process.
mircea_popescu: no you said you're trying to get a stick replication ?
gabriel_laddel_p: mircea_popescu: "stick business"? You are referring to the analogy from ascii earlier?
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel_p so what is this stick business, a tailored gentoo + masamune ?
gabriel_laddel_p: pete_dushenski: what do you think of the recent porsche cayennes? ☟︎
gabriel_laddel_p: ^ the whole lordship should be able to decrypt it on the off chance you're curious.
phf: (in unrelated tooling, mc is handy. i can see why asciilifeform still uses it. you can go pretty far with the whole ofm paradigm, combine it with unix underneath, etc.)
netmonk: i used to program in RPL on my hp48 back in the day, does that count ? :)
ben_vulpes: gabriel_laddel_p: you may continue to comment on my blog, others may continue to bitch, there is no pleasing everyone
danielpbarron: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-01-07#1598562 << i have tested many many times. works very well ☝︎
