phf: yeah, that's the one i explicitly searched for, but i started clicking around
asciilifeform: this one dun seem to have comments..?
phf: i love comments on su tracks on youtube, they are like something out of Sorokin novels.
asciilifeform: ( ever notice how much the 'steel mill' scenes in 'atlas' resemble a classical 'производственный роман' ?? )

ben_vulpes: semi tempted to spin up a portland/oregon city water taxi just to crack more hydrocarbons apart. ☟︎
ben_vulpes looks for more ways to push more gasoline through the engines in his stewardship
ben_vulpes continues to merrily combust
trinque: "unlimited free" was a temporary loss leader, and if they said otherwise they were lying

phf: "to a new yorker like you a hero is some type of weird sandwich, not some nut who takes on three tigers"
asciilifeform: simply so as to squeeze out a small +ev with which to make anything next.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: economics of ic mass production are such that most-everyone ends up marketing workstation as also a table leg stand, toaster, dildo.
BingoBoingo: Eh, the 1980's were weird
asciilifeform: was ~last gasp of 'you buy a comp, and it comes with the correct os for it, made by same people' thing.
BingoBoingo: The "buy all these 'workstations' for liberal arts computing"; iron may have been honest but not all use cases marketed for were.
asciilifeform: sun iron was honest, wholesome thing, by any conceivable standard of today
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> this notion, that you need multi-$k gpu accelerators, tightly coupled with os voodoo, just to use a motherfucking TEXT EDITOR, is very 'modern' << Seems to be sorts the thing "Sun" was born out of.
mircea_popescu: but nevertheless how these seem to work.
BingoBoingo also included brief tour of fanfic staples including obligatory Harry Potter and slashing open of wounds to be fucked.
asciilifeform: this notion, that you need multi-$k gpu accelerators, tightly coupled with os voodoo, just to use a motherfucking TEXT EDITOR, is very 'modern'
phf: could since at least 75, when the blit paper was written
BingoBoingo: Naturally I seem to be. James paid the price for getting his Elliot love and Elliot lived the only natural life he could as a racially ambiguous kid in the desrt.
asciilifeform: ( point of the story was, you can get ~0-flicker~ vga even on ludicrously and unpredictably slow machine, using a box that lets you build up, slowly, painfully, hidden framebuffer, then quickly flip to it.)
mircea_popescu: well yeah asking for teh final words. speak for yerself BingoBoingo , who's the best contestant ?
a111: Logged on 2016-11-05 10:06 diana_coman: contest anyway; considering however that it was set for Halloween, I guess I'd go with "goriest" and therefore BingoBoingo should win; as a side, I must say I don't quite follow the point of "all possible positions expressed" since they were quite clear/obvious anyway;
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-05#1563110 seems to have been last taken on matter from diana_coman with hanbot supporting habot candidacy and BingoBoingo supporting BingoBoingo candidacy so hanbot seems be dissent. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: is there doom in emacs btw ?
asciilifeform: ftr i did not play 'doom' on this item
mircea_popescu: in dos. through intimate knowledge. in vmware gentoo on windows ? ouch.
asciilifeform: (and how long interrupt handler might run, if you permitted it to run. etc)
asciilifeform: it was quite trivial to say how long a routine would run. in nanoseconds.
asciilifeform: i had, nailed to the wall, 'tick table', like everyone else
asciilifeform: boards starting with ega, let you read the vertical refresh signal.
mircea_popescu: yeah, through intimate knowledge of the os timings.
asciilifeform: recall writing games for dos. it was quite possible to have 0 flicker.
asciilifeform: more nuanced : it is not the 'fps' that matters, but how long it takes to swap framebuffers. the usb dongle gave ~7 fps in practice, but 0 tearing because it had simple doublebuffer, where it took a while to draw the hidden buffer, but flipping took a msec or so.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i r disappoint. that sad, sad moment when you're stuck in a world where all the best erotic fiction is written by yourself, so the choice is between familiarity and inferior product. << This is leading cause of male orgasm disfunction. Perhaps train girl to unfamiliarize your own text?
mircea_popescu: incidentally hanbot BingoBoingo diana_coman what say you, who's the winner ?
asciilifeform: (and static image is flicker-free at 0 fps! so long as it ~persists~ on the display. elementarily.)
mircea_popescu: how about these jezbel idiots actually went and whored out in the hood for a few months then came back with a little more piss and vinegar ?
a111: Logged on 2016-09-13 19:47 asciilifeform: 'матчасть' (contraction of, approx, 'material part') is a military term of art, refers to, e.g., how far a ru 120mm howitzer shoots when pointed at 45deg, vs 'how do we make a pincer'
asciilifeform: and to visit upstack, this is kindergarten intro-to-graphics матчасть ( http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-13#1541325 ) -- tear-flicker vanishes around 12-15 f.p.s. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i r disappoint. that sad, sad moment when you're stuck in a world where all the best erotic fiction is written by yourself, so the choice is between familiarity and inferior product.
BingoBoingo: Can't tell
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo is that self-parodic in intent or merely in effect ?
asciilifeform: and there were, not far, octopi, pigs, afghanis, etc.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it was the place with the vx antidote in desk, etc.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo lol srsly ? << to the extent I can understand the word salad around the term.
mircea_popescu: i suppose if they found any loose octopi on the floor they were delivered to your desk ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i mean for the sheer weird, not money necessarily.
asciilifeform: it was tiny droplet of spoodge in the ocean of the budget even in the one lab.
a111: Logged on 2016-11-07 11:46 mircea_popescu: can anyone think of any possible reason thestringpuller is actually voiced here ? i've just about had it, the snr ratio is by my count exactly 0, if you got something i wanna hear it plox.
ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-07#1563268 << the integral term is rather large at this point ☝︎
asciilifeform: (they are in the logs somewhere)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not only did i, but did it with those usb rasterizer dongles
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> do they mean the what, the religious enlightenment when it became dubious to have free sex ? << When it became dubious to have sex for the purpose of white procreation. White girls may cary dark children, but white boys are best to stfu Elliot. Most "woke" trendpieces are white gurlz writing about how "woke" their infant children are.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it was, several multi-$k lcd, at least in the last years
asciilifeform: (crt gotta be redrawn at 100+hz or 'flicker' because it is now too often black. lcd -- not)
mircea_popescu: somebody recently tried to play eulora via vm and got 0.5 fps for his trouble.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not on the iron of the time, at least.
ben_vulpes: somewhere in the back of my head i'm balancing the tradeoffs of continuing to use apple machines as ssh terminals into actually-usable machines vs cutting over to linux or a bsd wholesale
ben_vulpes: xquartz needs some lovin too.
asciilifeform: enjoy, then, the nintendo. (or do as i did when i worked for usg and forced to use winblows xp box -- run gentoo/x11 in vmware, and emacs in ~that~...)
phf: asciilifeform: that was the case since forever, but they not only ensure that you can't apple from outside, they also ensure that you have to be on the upgrades bandwagon. with my 10.9.5 i'm running into things that "require newever version"
ben_vulpes: but that box on the table is the thing that produces and signs builds, and when apple says upgrade, it gets upgraded because it's a day to unfuck the toolchain after they break it and some completely unknowable amount of time to reverse engineer whatever the fuck xcode is doing.
ben_vulpes: no argument there
