asciilifeform: 'which reactor, at least?' 'pons & fleischmann's'

asciilifeform: 'i am atomic engineer' 'tell us about sumthing you engineered' 'well, i swept floor of reactor room for coupla weeks'

asciilifeform: ahahaha

asciilifeform: what exactly is to keep 3 users from taking their 3 'marked' copies and xor'ing together.

asciilifeform: echelon: copyrasts' 'technical investments' are possibly some of the dumbest schemes on this side of emperor qin shihuangdi's hg immortality pills

asciilifeform suspects that at this point the primo disease of intelligent folx is the bottle. but this, i suppose, also

asciilifeform: parsimonious hypothesis

asciilifeform: prolly

asciilifeform: i'm moar than a little bit surprised that d00d admits to having perpetrated such lulz, just it alone takes 9000 yrs in purgatory to atone for

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: copyrasty crackpottery, where 'seekrit bitz in .avi so to find which cinema leaked to piratebay'

asciilifeform: !!up echelon

asciilifeform: echelon: tell us about sumthing you've engineered ?

asciilifeform: echelon: at the risk of repeating mircea_popescu's q -- what precisely are you aiming to find here ?

asciilifeform: potentially ( i.e. the even sadder, lamer knockoff tor )

asciilifeform: i dun know of other systems using the term

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'hidden service' is a tor (tm)(r) ism, afaik

asciilifeform: echelon ^

asciilifeform: !#s tor

asciilifeform: rezistenta prin cultura ! (tm)(r)

asciilifeform: exactly these

asciilifeform: ( who for some perverse reason insist on sticking to heathen voice band , exactly where usg wants'em )

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aaah the 'pirate' folx

asciilifeform: !#seen danielpbarron

asciilifeform: what's lrh ?

asciilifeform: http://phuctor.nosuchlabs.com/gpgkey/1F1F9C0BC12E7C73E78AA81364660EEB11D235950DB7509E5927D826A2ED721B fwiw, has been alive for at least that long

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: nobody's born knowing maffs, or piano, or pilotage, but most critters come from factory with firmware 'how to stop eating when not hungry'. if this is broken, new coat dun fix

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i cannot speak as expert, but as i understand -- not only will new coat not be anything like the orig coat, destroyed by owner's stupidity, but sewn coat will not correct the problem that resulted in needing new

asciilifeform: from mircea_popescu's www, lol

asciilifeform: as i understand, this one is moar re the third path, i.e. search for working brains in the wild

asciilifeform: not directly?

asciilifeform: taking 1 of these and having it sewn into human form

asciilifeform: but yes i cant picture why mircea_popescu would bother

asciilifeform: erry so often, d00d with money gets a hold of one of these chickens, and gotta make silk purse from sow's ear somehow

asciilifeform: it's a major 'industry', if you will, in usa. like cock-snipping in thailand

asciilifeform: iirc at a certain point you gotta snip the extra hide off

asciilifeform: could very well be troo, i have nfi

asciilifeform: what'd that be, for this specimen ?

asciilifeform: i'd imagine it could shed ~half of its mass if put in mircea_popescu's terrarium

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: loox a little bit like your earlier one, but with paint job

asciilifeform: unrelatedly, ave1 , diana_coman , mircea_popescu , phf , other folx with a gnat and 10min of free time -- asciilifeform would like to see outputs of http://www.loper-os.org/pub/ffa/thousand_muls.txt ( ch12 benchmark ) on various irons ☟︎

asciilifeform: i expect they mix coffee for a living there just as here

asciilifeform: the underground train is also a favourite

asciilifeform: they hang out in mcd, steam grates, etc

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i regret to inform that frost fails to kill bums reliably over here

asciilifeform: that's whole of gringostan neh

asciilifeform: aaa

asciilifeform: pnw << wassat

asciilifeform: https://archive.is/Dry6Q and i'm off to bed lest i pop blood vessel. next one i'ma massage for coupla hrs after final bake prior to post.

asciilifeform: https://archive.is/oo549 << found 1 moar. hopefully the last, wtf.

asciilifeform back to meat

asciilifeform picture mircea_popescu picking mushrooms in forest. mushroom : 'very ballsy of you, to pick me from ground' mp: 'wtf, why is mushroom talking' mushroom : 'as a self-respecting forest dweller, you should know that you should not pick someone without permission' mp: 'wtf, you are a fungus' fungus : 'i will not submit, you do not interest me!' etc

asciilifeform: re http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-17#1873203 : ☝︎

asciilifeform: https://archive.is/E0JoO << archive'd copy refreshed.

asciilifeform: corrected.

asciilifeform: grr, howler typo in piece, fixing

asciilifeform bbl, playing with pet

asciilifeform asciilifeform mined his first coin or so on a much smaller version of same item, back in the olden dayz

asciilifeform: thing will theoretically fit e.g. 'pentium'-weight of gatez.

asciilifeform: fwiw i've obtained a secondhand http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-11#1870822 laboratory instrument ( they're quite rare in aftermarket, typically sold new at outrageous usgtronic prices ) for laters, when The Time Comes. ☝︎

asciilifeform: hardwarizable ( in the manner discussed by mircea_popescu ) also, as 'phree' side effect of the constant-spacetime. but this is yet embryonic.

asciilifeform: ( amd64, for the curious; i haven't touched arm etc of yet )

asciilifeform: i will add, thing is deliberately shaped in such a way that it could be hand-compiled to relatively uncomplicated asm, on most archs, by a clueful reader. my yet-ungenesis'd parallel attempt at this is somewhat behind the ada, but i expect will be maybe 3000 ln. total in the end.

asciilifeform: ( and tbf it remains to be seen whether i succeeded in this )

asciilifeform: this stuff didn't take ~2y because vodka, but because actually tricky to lay out in the form where user can 'this is my parachute, i packed it'

asciilifeform: deliberate.

asciilifeform: it is meant for eventual feeding even to pets

asciilifeform: yep

asciilifeform: folx who grunted through ch.10 the Proper way, with chalkboard, may find some of 12a to be boring. but the exposition was promised, and so written.

asciilifeform: lolyes

asciilifeform: ( nitpicks from mircea_popescu & other mathematical folk, welcome as always )

asciilifeform: log plot , mircea_popescu

asciilifeform: why ty

asciilifeform: warning : still bit of a spine crusher

asciilifeform hands quite full atm

asciilifeform: ack that rx & decoded, but apparently not read lol

asciilifeform: lemme know when function returns

asciilifeform: ty ben_vulpes

asciilifeform: ok this slipped through my fingers, grr

asciilifeform: a

asciilifeform presently massaging ffa ch12, expects to take most of today

asciilifeform: calliemarie << at least presumably she's tasty when grilled properly

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-17#1873152 << hm i was recalling having had to mutilate mine to eat postgres -- but it's been 11+y nao since i last touched the thing , so could be entirely off ☝︎

asciilifeform: of the 20th c folx -- i also liked borges

asciilifeform also bbl:meat

asciilifeform: i dun particularly see why unix needs to be happening on an airgapped rsa box.

asciilifeform: no disks, whole thing in rom, bahaha.

asciilifeform: i/o via the 2nd serial port.

asciilifeform: ( fg on serial port, naturally )

asciilifeform: ffa/p-tron as a dos boot disk would imho rock.

asciilifeform: ( fwiw i consider 2012 mature, and can't picture why i'd want later ones, unless perhaps fixes serious bugs like http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-26#1866266 -- and even ~then~ i'd prefer to backport to ave1istic gnat ) ☝︎

asciilifeform: some of my restrict pragmas are also 2012istic

asciilifeform: ( in earlier ada they were quite ugly )

asciilifeform: i use preconditions, for instance, and they only work as written with ada2012

asciilifeform: i looked for this wonder, but never found ( and supposing it exists, it is almost certainly the wrong gnat, i want ave1's )

asciilifeform: ( for nitpickers -- 8bit won't work, you cannot represent the ~length~ of a crypto-useful integer in 8 )

asciilifeform: ( i dun ask that the gnat also ~runs~ under dos, tho that would be 9000x spiffier even . simply ~for~ )

asciilifeform: ( i deliberately wrote ffa in such a way that it oughta work on under 32bit or even plain 16, supposing somehow enuff ram )

asciilifeform: i'm looking forward to the hero who pulls off a msdos gnat port btw

asciilifeform: fair'nuff

asciilifeform: aa
