mircea_popescu: neways. moral i guess being, stock up on above fxen,
they're great and quite possibly
the last good chip in human history.
mircea_popescu: i guess if you bought it when it came out
the opteron was like 1k or some shit.
mircea_popescu: as i somehow doubt you spent 2k
to build
that box in 2009.
mircea_popescu: ah. yes i guess 2016 apple laptop compares favourably
to cheap-side 2009 desktop.
mircea_popescu: i7 4870 was released mid 2014 ;
the amd mid 2013 if memory serves.
mircea_popescu: dude... explain what singularity you live in where a half
the bus clock half
the cores half
the cache ONE QUARTER POWER chip is still, somehow, better.
mircea_popescu: so
then. you probably need a dozen bridged crapples
to
touch
the amd box.
mircea_popescu: twice
the cache,
twice
the cores, what
the shit are you on about.
deedbot: davout updated rating of jurov from 3
to 4 << met IRL, does what he says he will do.
mircea_popescu: like what ? something like amd fx 9500 is, i bet, way ahead anything apple ever put in anything
they made.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: laptops aren't computers.
they're not even female computers,
they're
toy computers.
davout: mircea_popescu: finding memory leaks? uninitialized memory accesses etc? helps when
teaching oneself c++
mircea_popescu: you're
the worst sort of engineers, i swear,
the kind who calculate
tomato production of balcony and are proud
to wash
their
teeth with a motorcycle engine adaptation contraption.
davout: asciilifeform: didn't experience
that, what i did experience was "oh no, can't install valgrind because fuck you"
mircea_popescu: they're insane if
they seriously imagine
their
tivo dumbassery has better chances
this
time around. but w/e,
they DO imagine.
mircea_popescu: in
the "but do you know who mai father is and why is hybrid mini not also boatcar!!1"
mircea_popescu: more
than one mactards
threw hissy fit becase "I R HAS GOOD LAPTOP" "dude... it sucks, we can't
tell you
that it sucks politely, BUT IT DOES."
davout: yeah in
the sense be on
the same box, or physically close
davout: asciilifeform: none in particular while discussing
trb, "trb uses openssl, which is vulnerable
to side channel attacks" came up
mircea_popescu: anyway, major point here being "how expensive" is not a good criteria for card. either dig up in
the specs or use
the cards ppl runnign
the
thing ask you
to
Framedragger: ah yeah.
there was an old 3g modem plugged into internal pcie, i removed it. pretty lulzy
Framedragger: (i want
to connect my x220 which does not have
thunderb0lt)
mircea_popescu: yeah pcie is becoming quite
the proverbial
tower of piles.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: k, good
to know,
thanks. it's just one bus lane afaict (pci express x1), ExpressCard 2.0, so 'double'
the bandwidth i
take it. 4-5gbps
total
a111: Logged on 2017-01-06 11:19 davout: asciilifeform: was
there a
thread re
the side-channel attacks on openssl's ecdsa signature?
a111: Logged on 2017-01-06 12:42 Framedragger: OT, anyone's done an egpu rig on an x220? i'm probably gonna do an abonimation, and connect an nvidia card
to x220 via its expresscard slot.
there's
this antichrist-like adapter (
http://www.hwtools.net/Adapter/PE4C%20V2.1.html) which does
the magic. bottleneck is expresscard (5 gbps or somesuch) but if one uses external monitor, it's all pretty good apparently.
Framedragger: right, i can see how
that can be bundled up into a business product.
mircea_popescu: and yes i have. not particularly portable, but at some point people in $not-mentioned were offering "plug your laptop into
the monitor" style videoconferencing
mircea_popescu: well,
the bus becomes congested, it's not really designed
to bridge north and south like
that.
Framedragger: ever done something like
that? :) portable rig is portable.
Framedragger: aha, otherwise
too much bandwidth gfx card <-> cpu apparently
Framedragger: (not worth if you have a really high end gfx card
tho - waste of money)

☟︎ mircea_popescu: it MAY BE
that
the muslim wave actually improves female livestock on
the old & wrinkly continent.
Framedragger: it's a well known fact
that an unbalanced high number of parentheses results in irc ping
timeouts.
jhvh1: Framedragger:
The operation succeeded.
Framedragger: !~later
tell gabriel_laddel_p "I cannot presently maintain a connection
to IRC." << get a bouncer ffs. ping me if you'd like a free one
davout: which, incidentally, seems like yet another very good reason
to fully exfiltrate
the wallet
davout: from where i stand it seems
to me
that
trb would be vulnerable
to it when signing
transactions
davout: asciilifeform: was
there a
thread re
the side-channel attacks on openssl's ecdsa signature?
☟︎ Framedragger: from glyf.org source, '<meta name="ICBM" content="39.083611, -77.148333" />' << rockville

ben_vulpes: i'm not particularly bent about
the sorting, 'twas simply what made me look at
the linked stanzas in curiosity. curious about "what of it", as you say.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the problem of "how
to sort
two patches which alter entirely disjuncts subsets of
the file set" is not exactly clear. unless
they declare how
they prefer
to be sorted.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i recall
this being proposed but im not sure if it ever was accepted.
ben_vulpes: notion, iirc, was
to make a "release" vpatch
that added *something*
to *every file in
the
tree*
to neck
the patch graph down
mircea_popescu: i'm not proposing it as a solution ; i'm not even sure exactly what you're
talking about. just lulzing
to self.
ben_vulpes: you advocated
this at one other point
too, right?
mircea_popescu gives it even odds
this ends up with a "include prev hash in comments in files".
ben_vulpes: not inverted, as far as i can
tell it's a fine place in
the flow for it
to be. i'm a bit discomfited, and am poking an old
thread about "release vpatches"
that seems
to have surfaced unexplainedly in
the makefiles vpatch
ben_vulpes: eh,
the leaving of free money on
the ground baffles me.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: but as
to
the other
thing, i'm not sure i follow. your v inverted patch flow ?
ben_vulpes: open
topic for when folks wake up i suppose.
