bvt: I understand this, but still it's better to drop the vpatch, at least in the logs, in case someone else stumbles upon this problem.
lobbesbot: phf: Sent 1 hour and 48 minutes ago: <asciilifeform> i recently found that lcd panel made by (defunkt) 'pixelqi co', pq3qi-01 , is still sold by chinese ( i have nfi if clones, or old stock ), ~100 $ ea; the thing toggles from 1024x600 colour/backlit into a 3072x600 greyscale reflector thing, worx with various lappies ( sadly not x60, it's a 16:9 )
phf: bvt: i think the conclusion of yesterday's thread was that using mktemp is a bad idea, and that it's better to rewrite temp_file_name to be self contained, i.e. get rid of mktemp pragma and have temp_file_name do its own random string/stat loop
a111: Logged on 2016-07-15 21:01 trinque: I researched those this week; pixel qi sold to an outfit that seems to be sitting on the patents
asciilifeform: also somewhat unusually, there's a full datashit for the thing ( i.e. could drive with fpga; and there's a chinese hdmi/dvi board for it, ~20bux )
asciilifeform: !Q later tell phf i recently found that lcd panel made by (defunkt) 'pixelqi co', pq3qi-01 , is still sold by chinese ( i have nfi if clones, or old stock ), ~100 $ ea; the thing toggles from 1024x600 colour/backlit into a 3072x600 greyscale reflector thing, worx with various lappies ( sadly not x60, it's a 16:9 ) ☟︎☟︎
Mocky: unrelatedly, i saw the craziest thing leaving the air port. there are a lot of indian dudes around doing public works type labor jobs. landscaping, pickup up trash, construction etc. I saw one, and i swear he was mowing the grass with a chain saw, all squatted down. now maybe he was cutting something else, but there was nothing else there! and damn if the that lawn wasn't pristine as a golf course
BingoBoingo: Then there's the grow shops of which "Tu Cultivo" is the only one I can recall off hand that doesn't have Grow in the name.
BingoBoingo: The store recently had to get it's glass front replaced after smashing. I assume robbery attempt? Never seen customers in the store though.
asciilifeform: i think of'em as 'engrish' (asian term, but applicable)
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i dun recall seeing any multi-anythings in uy ( and i kinda liked it that way )
a111: Logged on 2018-10-11 14:20 Mocky: i can see why so few foreigners learn the language, everything is in both english and arabic, signage, food labels, store receipts, even the money
diana_coman: ahaha, so I should have introduced you to some lebanese/kuweitis here, at least they speak arabic!
Mocky: i can see why so few foreigners learn the language, everything is in both english and arabic, signage, food labels, store receipts, even the money ☟︎
Mocky: diana_coman, i've got to find some that speak arabic. so far Indians, Nigerians, Nepalese and Asians all speaking english
asciilifeform: i dun really see a massive win from it, tbh
asciilifeform: hrm, apparently the 'record' pheature is a '30 day trial', aol-style, and after that is +7orcbux/mo. i'ma switch it off unless somebody reeally wants it
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what could i possibly want with it ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'ma gpg you the login to the stats page later today
Mocky: yeah I think that was some late morning glare
Mocky: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-10#1860111 >> I don't have anything for you currently ☝︎
billymg: can i self-voice in #pizarro?
billymg: i seem to have lost voice in #p again (perhaps from bouncer disconnect -- which will be moving to the new box as soon as i have time to setup)
mircea_popescu: the punch line, being, i suppose -- guess the fellow's name. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: Since I had already taken every other precaution but this to deserve their more fortunate fate, in changing my name I have, I hope, robbed my readers of their last excuse for my obscurity."
mircea_popescu: ers whose works would have been famous if only their names could have been familiarly pronounced--Polish and Russian writers for the most part, I gather.
mircea_popescu: "APOLOGIA PRO NOMINE MEO. Out of consideration (in part) to such readers as may read this book I have assumed a name by which they may refer to me (if ever he or she may wish to do so kindly) in the same manner at least twice running--a feat of pronunciation which few of my English acquaintances have performed with my natal name. But there is also another reason, considerate of the author. I have been told that there are writ
mircea_popescu: funny how rereads work! so back in 2013, i think all http://trilema.com/2013/the-doctrine-of-total-depravity/ is "religion is bs". but today -- all it really says is that protestantism has fuckall to do with any kind of abstract faith. it was attempt to organize takeover from day one and naught else. the only protestant faith really is a sort of half-republic, "this is the instrumentality of taking over". nobody among their r
mod6: I will be looking for a new place to host after my contract is up in november.
mod6: my personal node corrupted again. I'll be pulling it off the list of nodes until it's rebuilt... takes about 10 days with eatblock.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo, mod6 : i put him in 'A' .
asciilifeform: billymg: i'ma get your box set up nao.
asciilifeform: i dun expect any takers, but in the interest of lightening the collection / potentially feeding teh hungry...
asciilifeform: btw folx read '>25 yrs' and laugh, but i have 30+y.o. iron on my desk even nao, working.
asciilifeform: if i ever find that mine stopped, whole thing is going to dissection table, fg, comp, power supplies, etc
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: btw recall that we have red lamp already ( iirc i suggested claxon too, back in the design days, but mircea_popescu said enuff-is-enuff )
mircea_popescu: i suppose the dog&man permutation duality translates escape-or-enslave dilemma.
asciilifeform: eh imho that's a 'dog bites man'. i'm moar into 'man bites dog', i.e. ~habitable~ 'small' changes-in-physics...
asciilifeform: i'd be pretty interested to see FG spontaneously fail, what with the 4x redundant iron.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-10 21:22 bvt: I can't say I'm doing anything interesting in everyday life (PhDing in CS)
asciilifeform: unless disk , i suppose, is full
phf: asciilifeform: to be fair musl's version is naive, it generates/stats in a loop until there's no collision, but theoretically you can still get a race condition. glibc i believe does all kinds of smart tricks to ensure that doesn't happen, but it's all magic
mircea_popescu: though i've never seen this thing where parallel execution gets same clock value. i half suspect it's hardware fucked to not.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not that i see it as particularly likely, but afaik cannot be guaranteed not to, at least not w/out using inline asm, e.g. RDTSC on x86
mircea_popescu: phf why do you even use it at all ? i mean... hash the time with a salt, that's your filename. no good ?
asciilifeform: nobody's baked a proper one yet. tho i can't presently see why it'd be difficult
asciilifeform: ( removed in favour of ~what~ , i do not presently know )
bvt: I was man-aloning for quite some time
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i was curious how he found, is all.
bvt: I was too naive when I entered academia. Hoped for honest investigation of technology, but everyone there seems to be ok with building on broken stuff.
asciilifeform: tho i wonder -- in principle academics get to pick their subject. so how'd you end up with ~that~ ?
bvt: I live in germany, ukr by origin
bvt: I can't say I'm doing anything interesting in everyday life (PhDing in CS) ☟︎
bvt: well, I was reading logs for a really long time
asciilifeform: bvt: i assume you already know how to self-voice; if not, deedbot.org/help.html
bvt: sure, but I guess you are interested in explanation as well?
asciilifeform: bvt: since you're already playing with a vtron, i suspect you know what the correct process is re patch
bvt: I have a bug report for vpatch from phf
bvt: Hello, I am BT from the recent diana_coman's comments section ☟︎
mircea_popescu: certainly i'd rather use keccak than ~anything else for the "make crypto out of trapdoor" style alf thing for example
mircea_popescu: i can't think of what else is a hash used for.
mircea_popescu: problem with sha is that it has no niche besides "fuck you, i'm lazy", and even there... md5.
asciilifeform: Mocky: 'aggressive' trb vs regular, is just about 'night and day'. i also have ben_vulpes's 'super aggression' item lined up for test.
Mocky: ooohhh, i get it
Mocky: i got lost on kitchen robot, non existing item?
mircea_popescu: in the immortal words of kramer, "i tried to make gravel and... it... it just didn't work"
Mocky: oh, i didn't realize it was that much better with aggression. my prior, discouraged attempt was without aggression and looking to be substantially slower than 3 weeks
asciilifeform: i've thought in the past to have aluminum ( see l0gz re why ) cd's pressed with some qty of blocks
mircea_popescu: i see it.
asciilifeform: i have yet to see a deer eat rubbish.
BingoBoingo: Both raid trash. I suspect the coyote is bigger factor. Takes 40 lb scavenger/predator niche
BingoBoingo: When I left hometown they were pest, but not asciilifeform doomsday pest. More urban customers to my last fiat employment described asciilifeform type doomsday pest, but they also lacked coyotes
mircea_popescu: i dunno, plenty of deer in the ne.
BingoBoingo: I suspect they only become mega pest in areas with coyote and deer deficiency
mircea_popescu: i believe.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> fuckers can unscrew jars. << The can also "play", I recall one time at scoutcamp they improvised a hockey game using a tin as a puck. Coons are perfectly capable of doing it for the lulz.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i recall this video of a coon exhibiting all the "intelligent" behaviour of black chicks code : was rubbing a rock against a glass door, because it had seen rocks open glass doors before but didn't quite understand how impact works. so cargocultcoon.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: lives for ~decade in wild easily. << From what I understand coons live fast for 1-3 years and that's it
asciilifeform: i bet pro exterminators study skulls, dissect, properly do homework.
asciilifeform: Mocky: mine emails. but i dun recall if mp-wp has this knob.
Mocky: speaking of deathless beasts in the wild, I'm curious how other people get notified when you have new blog comment to be moderated.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: 40 pound pest. ( last one i weighed... )
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: believe or not, i actually like (certain) animals, would not inflict habitat like this on dog
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: funnily enuff, i tried those 1st
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i dun have a dog, or where to.
mircea_popescu: https://proxy.duckduckgo.com/iur/?f=1&image_host=https%3A%2F%2Fs-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com%2F564x%2F5d%2F0d%2F41%2F5d0d4100cb53317b38a9ae660baab73f.jpg&u=https://i.pinimg.com/564x/5d/0d/41/5d0d4100cb53317b38a9ae660baab73f.jpg
asciilifeform: there are nao raccoon, i recall, in germany, some idjit brought'em in
mircea_popescu: usually... who knows. i can't tell from pic iof still has his lol
mircea_popescu: snake can be very sneaky, but usually younger / adolescent males. this dude seems quite adult, i'd expect moar territorial with hissings and whatnot.
BingoBoingo: I think they also might have a zoo over there
mircea_popescu: but yeah i guess, circus or w/e sorta thing.
mircea_popescu: i had nfi they even lived there.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I find it entirely natural and to reputation's credit that it would have puta
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i mentioned it because he put some qty of coin in wallet.
BingoBoingo: I may have been
mircea_popescu: i just noticed i sent BingoBoingo an unelf message. were you elf'd before ?
mircea_popescu: i thought it's "gross error"
mircea_popescu: in any case, even if i say "basfii-liceform is actually asciilifeform 's new key, he managed to lose the old one", you'll be stuck speaking from the new name and depending on everyone evermore both a) encountering that notice and b) giving a shit, to jump the gap.
asciilifeform: billymg: prolly this is obvious, but i'ma remind for the record : whatever you do, dun lose yer pgp key. it's your only connection to the wallet, pizarro, wot . nothing can be done for folx who lose key.
mircea_popescu: but really, i'm not a huge fan. mostly got it for teh hussies. also had splendid green matcha, mutcha bettera.
