phf: i guess
the
trickiest part
then is
the "x86-aware liquishit", which is enough assembly subset
to make it useful, but not enough
to construct an escape hatch
phf: nx bit on any page
that you
touch
phf: i
think main line lua is
that way, very
tight interpreter, and i guess it's fast enough for gaming (tm)(c)
phf: back when i knew
the guy, i had a plan
to stay in his house for a couple of weeks, wean him off his meds and depending on how
that goes, give him acid
to poke at his brain. he had some odd blindspots in his
thinking
that i wasn't sure if
they were result of medication, or inherent. somehow multiple people were all up in arms against my plan, so i will never know..
phf:

thought psychosis was pretty common with bipolar, during
the manic or depressive phases. at least in usg
they prescribe antipsychotics
to bipolars,
though i'm not sure if
that's always
the case. supposedly you can
take
them on
their own, because
they have mood stabilizing effects
☝︎ phf: the advantage of something like a vop in general, is
that you can emit part of
the assembly
that you're
trying
to get working in isolation first, can emit it and call in realtime (i.e. in a repl), can have multiple versions of until you get it right, etc.
a111: Logged on 2016-09-11 00:43 mircea_popescu: honestly, i
think
the people who abstract-and-code are idiots anyway. first, you do it by hand.
then, you automate what you did.
this way a) end up with something
that actually works, and even without much design skill is well designed, by mother nature's help ; b) avoiud
the
trap of "i spent five engineer hours
to save myself
thirty
three minutes of secretarial work over
the course of
ten years."

to answer
the "why asm"
thing : because if at issue is
to obtain a correct f(lisp) so as it produces
the same asm as gcc(c)
then we'd better have a good example of
target "same asm". his approach is judicious.

thanks for making a111 quote mkj log lines
shinohai: I'll gladly pay you next
Tuesday for a kilo of blow
today!
mircea_popescu: no, in a sense of course
they offer credit -
they don't really want
to be buried in bills.
mircea_popescu: wouldn't be
the first guy with a great idea
that
then got
totally beat
to a pulp by
trying
to put it in words.
mircea_popescu: so, yeah. like lamport all you want,
the piece is obnoxiously idiotic in
too many places
to fucking count.
a111: Logged on 2016-09-17 22:29 mircea_popescu: anachronism is universally
the sign of an uneducated mind - in
the blogger's case because he fails
to account for
the obvious case
that "what if
the only reason nothing happened is BECAUSE
those people were
there
then ?" ; but in
the general case as displayed by lamport also. it is ridiculous
to pretend
to science, logic and reason, and
then
to
turn around and
tell a story of
the past in
the
terms of "here's what's left once
mircea_popescu: "Responding
to an email message is a simple operation with a simple mathematical description." ok, i'm out. fuckhead has not
the first inkling as
to what he's
talking about.
mircea_popescu: this corroborated with his dubious indictment of some sysadmin who didn't feel like fixing his computer 20 years ago paint
the guy in pretty ugly colors.
mircea_popescu: astrology as a historical human behaviour eminently is NOT connected
to ulterior developments such as astronomy, nor caused by
them.
mircea_popescu: we reinterpret it strictly as an extension of
the present".

☟︎ mircea_popescu: "When you get systems
that are
too complicated
to understand, people respond with superstition.
Thousands of years ago, people didn’t understand astronomy. So superstitions arose—like praying
to appease
the spirits
thought
to be responsible for an eclipse." <<
this, for
the record, is idiocy of
the ilk of
that-blogger-whats-his-name hurr-durring about how EVIDENTLY us nativism / knownothing movement was wrong because look
mircea_popescu: ^ guy just likes
to paste
those in for some reason ;
they don't seem
to carry meaning.
framedr_ghetto: btw if (tm)(r) is being used
to denote
those "trademark" signs (and not
tmsr), it may be noted
that (tm) is for an uregistered
trademark and (r) is for a registered one. but i guess
the reflexive-ironical use of
these makes it fine :p
mircea_popescu: it even has
the advantage of being perhaps
the most feared item by lizard court, aside from nuke detonator.
a111: Logged on 2016-09-17 17:54 asciilifeform: consider how
the
thing expects real-time (1000s/sec) interrupt handling, but ALSO has 1,001 places where you must busy-wait for some register bit
to flip
framedr_ghetto: "extract purchasing-power-sterling and get outta
there" OH WAIT
mircea_popescu: oddly, i know lots of people in a1, but none of
them plan
to stay
framedr_ghetto: mircea_popescu: glasgow. eh, i'll be outta here
this month next year, i
think. weather and, you know,
the whole wanna-be-empire-failed-island
thing..
mircea_popescu: well at least now i know who
to
talk
to if i ever want real estate in where was
this again ?
mircea_popescu: phf

☟︎ framedr_ghetto: there's also a brazilian guy who keeps his dirty socks in
the hallway; apparently it's a pattern and not a single instance,
too
framedr_ghetto: wine and cold weather and joys of subletting a flat
to local folk.
mircea_popescu: anyway, not
the end of
the world eh ? fix it
tomorrow, nothing burns.
framedr_ghetto: feel like a (very shitty) nasa engineer communicating with rover on mars and not being able
to debug
mircea_popescu: framedr_ghetto it's a very cheap signal of "you're drunk", which should be used
to reset its state
framedr_ghetto: mircea_popescu: it rejoins if it loses connection
to freenode; it
tries
to re-self-voice if it detects it does not have voice anymore. it does not rejoin chan if it gets kicked. will be fixed.
mircea_popescu: see, cause
the capitol of
the republic and of
the entire world.
framedr_ghetto: i'm on a guest network with no access
to server. i don't know why scriba is acting up. shall be investigated
tomorrow but not before
a111: Logged on 2016-09-17 17:38 asciilifeform: and ended up with a
thing
that, per
the data sheet, ought
to work, but never did.
mod6: im gonna get me one of
these xilinx boards.
mircea_popescu: and seeing how
the "irc" side is vaguely slated for replacement by
the end of
the decade ; and it should be bouncer-mediated anyway, just plaintext-net works as an "irc"
mircea_popescu: seems
to me a fine definition of "working computer" is irc+rsa.
a111: Logged on 2016-09-17 17:03 phf is finally free
to go get breakfast
shinohai: afaik she failed at housewifery
too
mircea_popescu: careful you don't follow covertress on
the path
to housewifry, jew.
mircea_popescu: so i guess
that's ANOTHER F for adlai ;
to celebrate his first day back
to "all day ircing".
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2016-09-17 09:23 adlai: phf: speaking of 2nd-personality-gods, have you/rfriend ever heard of jaynes' bicameral mind
theory?
mircea_popescu: (male virginity, in
this context, is resolved strictly
through
taking ownership of women and other
things ; not
through "having sex", especially if
that's practiced as some sort of mutual play)
mircea_popescu: these aren't
the same
thing ; even if admittedly
the virginal youth is ill equipped
to see
the difference.
mircea_popescu: "liberals" are insane by simple virtue of being liberals, working on
the exact same orwellian rails ; and "transgender" derps by simple virtue of gender confusion. a bunch of indian peons dying in a stampede aren't insane, partly because
they're
too poor
to be insane, partly because
they're
too stupid
to be insane. admitting
these can even be distinct.
a111: Logged on 2016-09-17 06:31 adlai:
the definition isn't watertight yet, since it counts somebody who starves due
to famine as crazy... but
then again, mircea_popescu counts poor somalians as stupid, so ~shrug~
a111: Logged on 2016-07-11 12:27 mircea_popescu: "If you are white, no positive, active role is left
to you. Either you accommodate yourself
to
the unreasonable, or you play out your life in some futile back alley. You are doomed
to
this by
the disgraceful history of your kind. Maybe it's fair, maybe it's not, but it is
the way
things are." << from another schmuck with a nobel prize.
mircea_popescu: evidently, not all crazy requires medical support ; and often
the nuts are quite subclinical. but anyway.
mircea_popescu:
http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20160917/#575 << yes, actually, it does. identity confusion is literally being crazy. it's one
thing
to have notions about supernatural forces which may help you
through shamanism or going
to church. it's another
to believe you're "really"
the other gender etc.
a111: Logged on 2016-09-17 06:23 adlai: i don't
think
that an ~animal~ which avoids starvation, dehydration, ostracism, and greivous bodily harm, can be counted crazy
a111: Logged on 2016-09-17 06:20
trinque: crazy is a blunt
term for "woefully inaccurate self/world model compared
to others" but certainly exists.
a111: Logged on 2016-09-17 06:16 phf: psychotic episode, later diagnosed as bipolar after ~~1 year of weekly mushroom use. split personality after one mushroom use (guy believes
that
the second person inside of him is god). psychotic episode after weed/lsd combination. obviously all diagnosed and hospitalized at one point or another
