mircea_popescu: jesus this shit's hard to get settled.
mircea_popescu: are the archival bots running ? lessee
asciilifeform: ^ what's on the gboard.
asciilifeform: trinque: http://support.amd.com/TechDocs/43009.pdf http://amd-dev.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wordpress/media/2012/10/43366_sb7xx_bdg_pub_1.00.pdf << amd sb700 chipset docs. (and no, they do not exist in any other format, nor will they)
mircea_popescu: it's really too bad there's like nothing happening in teh republic these days.
asciilifeform: all it means is that he cpu wasn't halted properly
trinque: I'll have to fiddle with it a while and figure out why I'm seeing E64, but seems like I'm close.
asciilifeform: oh btw you gotta have the cpu arch set to i386 for that one, as the iron starts in 16bit mode, and gdb is too stupid to track mode switches
asciilifeform: gets you to start of bios.
asciilifeform: ctrl-C will halt it to where you can play
asciilifeform: and no, gizmo first, then sage.
trinque: any particular order to boot the devices? I figured sage, then gizmo
trinque: "monitor" command not supported by this target << having issued "monitor reset"
asciilifeform: sometimes it takes some fiddling to get it into a gdb-able state.
asciilifeform: trinque: try power cycling the board using gdb monitor commands
trinque: asciilifeform: reseated it inside the sage, now got E64, which seems reasonable?

mircea_popescu: aha. ty.
mircea_popescu: this is i think the first positive case of logrot due to idiots being idiots (tarver, in this case)
asciilifeform: trinque: so was the plug loose, or dud board, or wat
mircea_popescu: entirely unrelated to anything, http://66.media.tumblr.com/fb142efbdc04ec9115a00b342da8e762/tumblr_nir0r5aLaw1qlne6uo1_1280.jpg
mircea_popescu: hm, i suppose this is a different class indeed. old guy who goes to the gym and so forth. a sort of lafond pencildick version.
mircea_popescu: well the old blokes tend to disappear in chumpatroniums a la http://trilema.com/2014/so-the-dollar-vigilante-scam-ring-is-going-to-jail/
asciilifeform: the new tarver is instead a case of 'my sbcl-with-serial-number-filed-off-pays-my-mortgage, open sores suxx!111' ☟︎
asciilifeform: nah those are for young blokes
mircea_popescu: or in yarvin's revolutionary-language clubs, or in "less wrong" to learn all about how to have a slavegirl while calling her a dragon or w/e is currently fashionable in manga world, and so on and so forth.
asciilifeform: i linked subj because he is not the only one in that kingdom, it quite resembles one of those glue traps for mice, and folks who 'disgusted with open source!111' tend to end up in it.
mircea_popescu: neway, dood is more than welcome to his delusional kingdom. not the first one.
mircea_popescu: whole piece seems pretty much the #trilema talking points. including "giving away your power" unreferenced ballas - as - processed stuff etc.
asciilifeform: tarver had an open source crackpot lisp system for a decade or so, then quit in disgust, then opened some commercial thing
mircea_popescu: myeah ok, i can't see anything past "here's tmsr in blockchain form".
mircea_popescu: e projects and developers may find the material interesting."
mircea_popescu: "This essay is a lightly edited transcript of a series of posts I made to the Shen news group in the middle of 2015. They highlighted the failure of the open source initiative in the project, analysed the reasons and suggested a successful formula for moving the project forward. The posts led to the formation of the much more dynamic closed source Shen Professional. The lessons here are widely applicable to many open sourc
asciilifeform: https://archive.is/tbpjB << the only afaik live copy
a111: Logged on 2014-06-22 17:22 asciilifeform: 'You can routinely find lecturers with more than a hundred published papers and you marvel at these paradigms of human creativity. These are people, you think, who are fit to challenge Mozart who wrote a hundred pieces or more of music. And then you get puzzled that, in this modern world, there should be so many Mozarts - almost one for every department. The more prosaic truth emerges when you scan the titles
mircea_popescu: who is "mark tarver" anyway.
asciilifeform: (with Shit Bolted To The Side)
asciilifeform: jurov: unfortunately it was tarver, not i, who 'reductio ad microsoftium' -- literally! http://shenlanguage.org/professional.html << his turd requires winblows.
asciilifeform: the female connector inside the probe is keyed, should not be hard to reseat.
trinque: heh that just occurred to me
asciilifeform: one time i even had a board with bad tracks to the hdt connector.
asciilifeform: this has happened to me >1ce
asciilifeform: see also that it has not come loose inside the probe box.
trinque: cable comes out away from the board
asciilifeform: make sure plug is in the right way
trinque: and in the right direction
asciilifeform: trinque: naturally the probe won't do anything useful without being connected to a powered amd mobo
asciilifeform: jurov: per this argument, the microshit world is where it's at.
trinque: so it appears the thing survived?
trinque: can't get gdb connected to it yet, but connecting to it directly either with cu or telnet reports: SmartProbe: 3.2_3743
jurov: They may be smoking dope. Still, they decided to do their thing, instead of sitting on various stakes working for other people.
trinque: asciilifeform: got the pill applied, last call to dump_forever() failed but the lines preceding looked to be a successful firmware write
asciilifeform: on the other hand, if tarver - or anybody 'open source has failed!111' else - thinks that i am going to build anything whatsoever on top of his closed turd, he is smoking dope.
asciilifeform: then something has gone very wrong in her head. The aspirations of the OS fanatic hooked on mindshare are often no more realistic than the neurotic checkout girl at KFC.' << soooomebody's been reading ze logz
asciilifeform: 'There is a certain character you see in the West; the sort of girl who paints her nails, works at KFC and dreams of being selected for X-Factor because she sang karaoke at her friend's hen night. We laugh at this because we know that for her the chances of getting mindshare and being the next Beyonce are slight. Everyone can dream; but when the girl goes on to neglect her education and development because she's stuck on this dream,
asciilifeform: (apparently he links back to my www now, lulzily)
asciilifeform: !#s tarver
asciilifeform: (the tool i made for writing ~the probe's own~ flash, was posted earlier.)
mircea_popescu: mod6 four tickets eh ? great month.
asciilifeform: there is a mechanism whereby one can read/write the flash. i've been bolting it onto the ubiquitous 'flashrom' linux util, will be posted later.
asciilifeform: ( afaik the docs were to be found literally nowhere on the net. but they are now here. )

BingoBoingo: Sorry for your lawn, pls to wait 7-10 years for "studies" http://www.colostate.edu/Depts/CoopExt/4DMG/Lawns/zoysia.htm
mircea_popescu: in other news, i'm penning a humongo piece, hopefully be done by tonight.

asciilifeform: of possible reverser interest, https://derevenets.com << 'Snowman is a native code to C/C++ decompiler...' >> similar, possibly, to ida's famous 'hexray'.
BingoBoingo: Litereally, the reallier looking snake plants look like they were shooped in from a home decorating magazine spread
BingoBoingo: Also those are the fakest looking cabbages and plants I've ever seen https://archive.is/gcqGH
shinohai would like to have a QNtra mascot shirt to wear to a blm protest
mircea_popescu: you know, "Been there, done that, got the tshirt"
mircea_popescu: we should prolly have a tshirt or something.
BingoBoingo: The historical asp opposed to statementical which closes November
shinohai: I still have time to buy celebratory items
BingoBoingo: shinohai: You're a day early. Tomorrow closes year 2
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo plox to include deed url in report from now on, that way i can link to qntra piece rather than to deed from trilema. << ty, will do.

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo plox to include deed url in report from now on, that way i can link to qntra piece rather than to deed from trilema.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform did you think bash was slow or what ?
mircea_popescu: all that l I 1 bs.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i like that there's no serif glyph powered ambiguity.
BingoBoingo: And by better I mean San Pedro cactus so they trip balls and naturally make parachute instead of cocoon
BingoBoingo: See that's your problem. You gotta feed them better.
shinohai: You can have them all tbh, they eat all the Mulberry trees and prevent me from harvesting great wines
shinohai: The silkworms in this area are only capable of sha1, I need better worms.
BingoBoingo: Not cross stitched. Needle point is for directing the silk worms as they spin parachute.
shinohai would like to see BingoBoingo's parachute cross-stitched
BingoBoingo: Imma stick to silk and needlepoint!
shinohai: Imma stick to bash/perl
asciilifeform: anyway kudos to phf for actually solving this exercise
asciilifeform: phf: it is not imho important to optimize parachute for speed. lamportron per se is nearly the ultimate waste of cpu and space in crypto world ...
asciilifeform: will have to look into their rng at some point.
asciilifeform: hmm i think i have an example of phf's selfsame mac here !
phf: but! this was the extent of my free hacking time for this weekend. if there aren't any glaring bugs i might attempt to make it cons-free
asciilifeform: would be interesting to learn how it worx
phf: though i think /dev/random is still in the opensourced parts of os
phf: darwin's /dev/random is marginally slower than /dev/urandom, but then it's a closed source os, for all i know both feed directly from nsa headquarters
phf: we've had this thread, and i'm not going into that one again
asciilifeform: also this was running on a box with iron rng?
phf: i suspect what's happening is that the convenience call in that i'm using is allocating digest support structs on each invocation
