asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-01#1856898 << lol! i also thought ☝︎
asciilifeform: aaaaaand i got'em ! ( http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-14#1850492 ) ty BingoBoingo ! ☝︎
mod6: I was like, sonsofbitches are trying to kill you.
BingoBoingo: No, I brought the cookie
BingoBoingo: Then I navigated poorly behaved zombie crowds
BingoBoingo: I hit it on this here desk I've managed not to hit hundreds of times already
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: lol i thought you didn't even have motorcycle yet!111
asciilifeform: tbh i did not expect to see this crate surface.
asciilifeform: i gotta take off my hat to BingoBoingo's orccraft skillz.
asciilifeform: ( i'ma image'em for the 2 currently dead pilotplant boxen )
phf: asciilifeform: i'm mostly making a humorous point. there was after all a time when you could connect your commodore to your cathode ray tube
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: funnily enuff, i have word that the one you sent, also came in, will be picking it up shortly
a111: Logged on 2018-05-08 16:58 asciilifeform: i suspect that subtracting the rolex,vertu,patek,etc. pseudo-craftsman industrial garbage, leaves the null set tho.
asciilifeform: phf: as i reckon, they're designed from the start to be integrated into some starvation-cheap konsoomer crapola . ergo they omit the controller.
phf: haha, yes, i remember, you have to feed that data to that 3" eink screen
phf: closests i've gotten to eink display is a jailbroken kindle with a hacky local client of some sort (there's vnc and there's also a kindle native terminal). obviously unfit for real work
asciilifeform: phf: i read'em, intensely hand-sewn thing that works when phase of moon is just-so..
phf: asciilifeform: i'm somewhat familiar with the field, there's periodic hackaday posts about attempts to reverse engineer the whachamacallem refresh matrices or whatever specialized name they have
phf: yeah, i turned it into an "analogue" clock and left it at that
asciilifeform: phf: funnily enuff i have that screen, experimented with use as indicator. it's dog slow.
phf: adafruit sells a 3" eink screen which connects over gpio, i'm not grokking why nobody's selling anything bigger. the whole field is a mystery
mod6: ah, i see. makes sense.
asciilifeform: i for instance am sitting in front of 350watt of lcd right nao.
mod6: 7", but yeah, i dunno i kinda like LCD. but agree, sucks outside.
asciilifeform: but i currently suspect that this is 1 of those 'only asciilifeform wants' items, and hence won't exist any time soon. ☟︎
asciilifeform: i'd very willingly trade my coloured emacs for 1bit b&w thing, at least on sunny day.
mod6: i see
asciilifeform: ( hell, i'd live with 'vi' myself if that were the only cost.. )
asciilifeform: and i expect the 'vi' users even moar so.
asciilifeform: Mocky: the linked part was claimed to fit 'rpi header' (i.e. the 40pin thing on various arm boards, incl. our rk3328) with 0 solder or fancy interfacing. but apparently nodice.
asciilifeform: i've found that i personally think palpably smoother when on balcony, in sunlight. but atm can only do this with printouts.. ☟︎
asciilifeform: i was able to find a film clip on www of somebody who actually got hold of the thing, and it didnt redraw in ANYTHING like 1sec
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-10-01 17:55 TomServo: asciilifeform: I tried getting one of the screens you mentioned here: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-20#1852509
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in other lulz, "<nicoleci> omg asciilifeform <nicoleci> i couldnt load the page fast enough to fix it before he said anything <nicoleci> its already fixed but im not voiced"
asciilifeform: and yes [insert oblig thread!111] if i knew how to stop while keeping the lights on, i'd've stopped in 2013.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i dun expect you'd have the 'reboot' problem, no.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ideas come ~24/7. i was speaking of unrolling-into-concretes
mircea_popescu: so maybe... stop rebooting brains like windows machines ? i dunno!
asciilifeform: i.e. saturday, 'loading', sunday -- doing, then 5d of microshit, then new saturday, 'load' again...
asciilifeform: i cannot speak for e.g. trinque , phf, mod6 , but would not be surprised if same is the case there.
asciilifeform: the sad troof is that ~all of asciilifeform's 'deep' worx (i.e. the ones that require loading a whole proggy / algo 'into head' ) happen on vacations & weekends (when the latter not filled with saecular crapola) rather than nights
mircea_popescu: i dunno how hard a requirement "go on 1st pass" can be. as long as it eventually goes in...
asciilifeform: but i dun expect to have this 'problem' any time soon
asciilifeform: i do wonder sometimes how i'd organize day if i actually had whole day to tmsr
mod6: Yeah, I try to re-read stuff too -- actually links within logs actually help to force ya to do it.
mircea_popescu: i re-read logs also. i dun see the problem, what, log should be toilet paper, use once ?
asciilifeform: it is imperfect approach, and unpleasantly reminiscent of how leporidae eat their grass. but i havent found substantially better algo.
mod6: I feel like, this will improve for me -- all of it. As someday I'll break out of these mines.
asciilifeform: pretty often when going to sleep i read coupla wks of log, again & again...
mod6: mircea_popescu: I actually do read the logs, but -- again, I wish I had more time to really grok the logs. Instead of just snarf them and move on to the next thing.
mod6: I actually assume it's worse for alf. I have no idea how alf can keep up in irc, and all the other things. Guy has 20,000 hands.
mod6: oh I must have missed that line from before.
asciilifeform: i have exactly same problem ( '10 pounds of shit in a 1 pound bag' ) , sorta assumed mod6 et al suffer similar.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-30 00:05 mircea_popescu: i kinda have in the back of my mind this impression that poor shane's ended up stuck with a large number of loose ends to juggle.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-01 15:59 mod6: And before the republic, I was very much a one-thing-at-a-time type of engineer. Seems like over the last year or maybe 18 months, I feel like I'm context switching so much, that I find it hard to get deep into the thinking that I need to. For instance, it bothers me that I still haven't found time to work through FFA.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-01#1856550 << ah, this may be a problem, i guess. i suppose is what i meant by http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-30#1855743 ☝︎☝︎
mod6: I kinda miss that.
mod6: Yeah, I think so.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-01 15:58 mod6: One other thing that I should note here, perhaps, is that I feel like I really get into the work deep into thought; when doing the trb related work.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i get china regularly. but they go via pwned usa boxen.
BingoBoingo: I'm leaning towards suspecting the robocall scammers hacked a Uruguayo office and under the impression Uruguay is a "rich" company have decided to pilfer
mod6: Yeah, I've gotta figure it out.
mircea_popescu: i'm not even kidding!
mircea_popescu: i dunno if anyone burns in hell for fucking girls too young, or too roughly, or drinking too much or burping in church. but i see it altogether possible that you show up before st peter and he's like "shit shane, you STILL suck at sales ?! off to the ovens with you, for shame!"
mod6: This is worthwhile. I've got a vector that I'd like to start into with sales -- as far as a market. Maybe one of these guys could help me get going.
mircea_popescu: no but i mean someone alive whom you know, not kew.
mod6: I've spent my life behind a screen, so it doesn't come very naturally to me.
mod6: I don't think those skills rubbed off.
mircea_popescu: do you know anyone who iyo is good at sales ? irl i mean ?
mod6: Well, it's not that I don't want to, I'd like it if we could somehow get the train moving down the track. Just worried that I don't have the know-how for this.
mod6: Well, I've never really run a business before -- and, I have pretty much zero sales/marketing exp.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-01 15:43 mod6: Pizarro, on the other hand, I'm more of a fish out of water.
mod6: I am somewhat sad about the state of the bitcoin poc as created by satoshi, but I'm still very much glad we have it.
mod6: I refuse to hate on the guy, really.
asciilifeform: i abolished shitoshi's 'speshulness' of ~boot time~, but to make ~peer connection time~ similarly speshul, is also mistake.
asciilifeform: and i'm beginning to suspect that it, or some variant thereof, is The Right Thing
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-01#1856553 << lol, seems to me that we regularly argue opposite sides of this puzzler. but yes, i'd luvv for there to be somewhere a hidden reserve of sane folx who will join republic and do quality work. but somehow they aint here yet, and i'm inclined to agree with mircea_popescu's much earlier hypothesis, where they either dun exist or are buried beneath such thick pantsuit iceberg that no drill pres ☝︎
asciilifeform: Mocky et al: i'ma restart with timestamps, and from here on.
mircea_popescu: i'd expect the mechanism'd be regarded universally.
mircea_popescu: i don't recall now if this was specifically said re foundation or only re qntra, but the two are ~same period, in any case,
mircea_popescu: i have this vague notion that the idea always was that you two will at some point summon a third.
mod6: Oh, you wanted a third? I didn't catch that.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: unless i misread, mod6 asked to be relieved of the duty.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-01 14:28 asciilifeform: way i see it, if hanbot takes over mod6's duties, then oughta at least carry on what he was doing ( i.e. maintenance of the flagship tree, testing of candidate patches )
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-01#1856392 << i thought the idea was to add a third. what take over ? ☝︎
asciilifeform: i dun see why kernel gotta be involved.
asciilifeform: then i cannot disagree
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, i am opposing having a mcdonalds log.
asciilifeform: but i read orig mircea_popescu observation as opposing very notion of collated log.
asciilifeform: i.e. item that collates desired flows.
asciilifeform: centralized logging actually has at least 1 known win -- i can dump all logs, or subset of'em, to tape printer
a111: Logged on 2018-10-01 14:25 diana_coman: I think that's precisely what the chairs need to figure out: "what might fit under this " and be useful, ofc
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-01#1856387 << and if not figure out, at least work towards figuring out. there's a difference between "i found no rock but here's 500 clumps of earth i tried" and "i don't understand whart a rock would be" ☝︎
asciilifeform: it's braindamaged. but i gotta point out why i haven't said how to demolish it -- cuz haven't yet conceived of how to do so w/out losing what imho is essential function
mircea_popescu: but i very much disagree "systemwide" "log mechanism" is either acceptable or necessary. leaving "a good idea" way far behind and to the left.
asciilifeform: i want e.g. nginx to log, but to not have write permission anywhere else. unix offers no way to do this aside from the current horror.
mircea_popescu: and thjis is what i'm sayuing : this is misdesigned. i'm not about to fuck my system so some moron somewhere can miswrite his program.
asciilifeform: i dun see why it would apply to trb tho, trb must have write or it cannot store blox.
diana_coman: mod6, I know what you mean re too-many-things-at-once (from my pov also, ideally 1 at a time but that's a luxury that I rarely get to fully indulge in, what can I say)
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-01#1856377 << well, the way i read the 1-2-3-4 progression from above is that "it is focused but not limited to trb, supposed to outreach from it". ☝︎
