Trilema, why not linked in
the lazy libertard series?
BingoBoingo: lol Did cazalla ship it
to you before or after slaughter?

mircea_popescu: in random fun facts : soviet military expenditure in
the 30s was ~12% of gdp. it jumped
to ~18% in early 1940.
this is BEFORE germany invaded (1941).
today "normal" military expenditure is 1.x%, from japan and australia
to italy or germany.
the us does ~3.x. of
the rich countries,
the saudis are
the only ones being reasonable (ie, over10%).
the jews are half
that.

trinque:
the mind will create elaborate narratives
to justify addiction. never affected me directly, but I've seen it.
mircea_popescu: and dumb is by and large an apanage reserved
to
the "intelligent"
mircea_popescu: adlai it's not entirely evident
to me
that average intelligence person could not make excellent programmer. contrary
to
the "consensus" on
the
topic, programming is much more a matter of not being dumb
than of being "creative"

tried cocaine yet?
a111: Logged on 2016-11-30 23:32 asciilifeform: i
think erdos never ate 100g even in his 75 yr working life
mod6: and mainly
there is so much other non-infrastructure related work
to do, i
think
that's
taking a back-seat unless someone steps up
to work on it and contribute.
mod6: shinohai: well, at one point
the one patch we had made
that possible, but with buildroot now in
the mix, im not sure. would have
to be dug into.
☟︎ shinohai thinks a bsd version should be added
to how-to in future
mod6: adlai: also,
thanks :]
mod6: adlai: yeah,
to make it work on bsd you need some special
tweaks. otherwise, won't go.
adlai recently
tried pressing & building
trb on fbsd; did not go well, needs another attempt. but for now - sleep.
shinohai: Still, quite
the productive month.
mod6: whoops. meant
to remove
that second paragraph out of
the SoBA all. my apologies. please ignore
that part.
adlai: what i can't fathom is
this fetish all
the
teachers have for writing content by hand in realtime, rather
than clicking a button and having a computer instantly display a legible, proofread,
typeset, etc version
adlai: in other news, physics lecturer is quite good: "being here does not excuse you from
thinking, rather
thinking is required of you" also "i can explain everything you want, but you'll have
to start listening". so he's not quite
throwing out
the idiots, but it looks like he goes as far as he can without getting his jerb
tooken away
adlai is speaking broadly here. literally
taking
the alpha-methyl off 'meth' is not
the intent here, but rather nominating for consideration substituted PEAs such as mescaline
adlai: re: 'dope', lose
the alpha-methyl... much more useful effects, at least in my (limited) experience coding under such influences
phf: adlai: you don't want
to read it
too closely, i certainly am not going
to waste my
time defending nitpicking
a111: Logged on 2016-11-30 23:38 phf: programmer's stone made a point long
time ago
that you need
to be really fucking relaxed
to write quality code
jurov: till
that you can run xorg under strace and give
that
to alf
jurov: gabriel_laddel: you should enable debug info and reemerge world
to get meaningful backtraces
mircea_popescu: jurov yes,
the problem is not well solved and not evidently solvable, but
this doesn't make it not a problem.
mircea_popescu: <gabriel_laddel> jurov: I'm open
to advice, I just disagree with
them. << lol!
gabriel_laddel: jurov: what? no, we're going
to bake our own hardware.
gabriel_laddel: jurov: all
the other masamune machines out in
the wild are running
the same sources as I am
jurov: you will backport drivers
to ancient X server?
jurov: there are still
too many moving parts, what do you do when you find catastrophic bug in X, or it has only hardware drivers for devices
that can't be bought anymore?
gabriel_laddel: jurov: I'm open
to advice, I just disagree with
them. What's on your mind?
jurov: i'd
think of something
that
touches only malloc, filesystem (optional) and communicates only vnc/X11 via socket
jurov: i can picture several ways how
this approach
to self-hosting can fail, but does not look like you're open
to advices

trinque: it strikes me
that
there is a perversity in "serving a man in your own way"
trinque: what a misunderstood item
that was
gabriel_laddel: er equery/emerge (more details later) 4. using
this *stable* platform
to do simulations for sane computing in CL 5. supporting
this venture by leveraging lisp/clim/climacs/macsyma/sbcl against
the rest of
the world, which cannot produce GUIs / code / production systems as quickly.
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: I envision 1. masamune is self-hosting, with
the ability
to replicate itself onto a livecd containing all sources used
to build it,
that can
then produce like replicants. 2. no more updates
to ALGOL systems, ever, given
that all
the sources needed for
the lisp environment are self-contained. 3. A CLIM system manager
that abstracts ov
a111: Logged on 2016-11-30 23:47 asciilifeform: i find it interesting
that (iirc) gabriel_laddel was mega-aficionado of my www, but will not
take any of my advice nao.

this entire
time
a111: Logged on 2016-11-30 23:21 mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel i'd loot a lot more
than 10s of mns if i found a way
to reliably get people
to do
the
things
that need done rather
than
the sexy
things
they want
to do BEFORE
they are old enough for
their active life
to be mostly behind
them.
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: mk. Will do
tonight. Am presently getting X11 log for ascii.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel any schedule you make
that doesn't include a fixed
time
to get pubkey is for
that reason unusable ;
throw it out and re-do.
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: no.
throw out
the unix nonsense and make predictions about how long it will
take
to write CL, which I can reason about.
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel
then your schedule's no good,
throw it out make another.
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: Unfortunately no. I cannot predict how long it will
take me
to deal with idiot unix nonsense.
gabriel_laddel: trinque: eh, if you're not willing
to ask / do
that
to realize sane computing -- you don't want it at all.
phf: trinque: i go
to burning man,
the kind of people i accommodate....
trinque: "hey man can I like,
take a shower in your hotel room?"
phf: gabriel_laddel: well
this is my avocation, so hacking on hemlock and installing masamune in sfo is cost equivalent. i'd make a
trip just as a mini vacation, i'll see when's
the closest i can swing it
☟︎ gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: I've spent no
time on
trying
to source it.
mircea_popescu has been having fun asking libtards "so why didn't YOU influence
the elections
then ?"
mircea_popescu: next i suppose
they'll be "teaching
the controversy" of whether shit or
turd is
the correct choice, and we'll continue ignoring
them and
they'll continue
to pretend
that we don't matter and
their 5% is inexplicable at
the same
time. without any problem whatsoever in
their absent minds, putin doesn't understand how
the world works and influences
the elections, sure, why not.
shinohai: This must have came out of Roger Ver's "Consensus Meeting"
today
mircea_popescu: again and again and again
the same stupidity it will do, because hey. all it got.
mircea_popescu: shinohai
the response of
the redditards is so amusing. "there's
TWO DIFFERENT DOOMED FORKS NOW!!! for you
to choose from! because fragmentation is so
totally
the winning strategy!"
jhvh1: 9. Made direct amends
to such people wherever possible, except when
to do so would injure
them or others.

trinque: at any rate, if I were
to invest
time in climacs,
that is
time stolen from learning osdev
to put a lisp interpreter on iron, which is
time stolen from learning
to fab silicon in a garage, which is
time stolen from ...
