asciilifeform: at the very least because mircea_popescu will only believe it if somebody other than asciilifeform says 'won't work'
ben_vulpes: it's be a pretty pricey project, i don't really expect anyone to fund it.
gabriel_laddel: dina_corman: I don't have the disk space to download all of them, but if you could get all the funtoo stage3 tarballs too, would be great.
ben_vulpes: fudgepacker, not in the sexual sense but in the sense of going overboard packing shit too tightly where it didn't matter and not thinking rigorously about ~anything that did
mircea_popescu: ordeal is what your mom doesn't want to happen to you.
a111: Logged on 2015-11-19 16:19 mircea_popescu: specifically, that there are two kids of people : the addicts, who aren't people, and the actual people.
trinque: adlai: you still didn't define the fucking precise benefit
adlai: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-03#1551909 << in this case, i'm gonna "blame the mice", or in other words -- and i can't find the exact 'logs' here, but it's iirc Leary -- "you can meditate for ten years and achieve nothing, but take a decimated milligram of lysergic acid dimethylamide, and something interesting is guaranteed to happen" ☝︎
mircea_popescu: jurov hey, this isn't from a good life.
asciilifeform: jurov: i wouldn't put it past him to sell a 'game console' for it at some point
mircea_popescu: this both satisfies the desire of github rats to feel connected to bitcoin even though they aren't ; as well as bitcoin's necessity to be rid of the "talented" young minds.
ben_vulpes: !~later tell pete_dushenski 'no ceilings' isn't a /bad/ mixtape, on review
mircea_popescu: but yes, humanity being what it is - this isn't a complete solution. given a large enough population, you'll find individuals capable to survive anything ; hiv even has innate immunity believe it or noit.
mircea_popescu: and the beauty is, the only true boundry on the $costofdopehabit is the ceiling on t.
mircea_popescu: addiction limits that t very narrowly closer to inf. if you get her started in college she'll die before her tits sag if we're talking eg meth.
asciilifeform: doesn't their lim($marketvalue - $costofdopehabit) ---> -inf as t--->+inf though ?
mircea_popescu: "protecting esper l3 comms from terrorists who don't understand how demolished world works."
mircea_popescu: there are some drugs you don't win the war on.

a111: Logged on 2016-10-03 18:23 mircea_popescu: http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20161003/#340 << yes. as we speak diana_coman is busy at work making snapsnots of linuxen. because it's obvious from practice that the way this goes is "i can't install eulora on linux" "we tested this" "but i can't". then upon extensive and expensive research it turns out... THEY CHANGED THE FUCKING DISTRO. breaking software. because why not.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-03#1551829 << i run into 1,001 instances of this whenever trying to build nearly ANYTHING i-didn't-write-myself from source. ☝︎

asciilifeform: otherwise one day you discover 'surprise', gcc6 or whatever won't build trb, or worse, builds-with-boojum
mircea_popescu: there's a fucking right way to do things, and this arbitrary "i shall now be a becoming actress" ain't it.
mircea_popescu: how is it that the republic can do just fine progressing at the clip of its own progress, no faster than that, nor slower ; and that while we don't specifically wnat to "do things" or set goals, nevertheless we do things and achieve (other people's) goals ? ☟︎
asciilifeform: d 32-bit even though pointers became 64-bit. The problem now is that transformations that assumed integers and pointers to be the same size don't work anymore, because now their point of overflow is different.'
asciilifeform: e.g., 'Pointer arithmetic. In the good old times, an int and a pointer used to have the same size. People happily used ints as array indices. Array indexing is just pointer arithmetic, and in some architectures (like x86), you can often perform the pointer arithmetic plus load in a single instruction. Then came 64-bit architectures. For reasons I don't really get (compatibility?), on x86-64 and other 64-bit architectures ints remaine
mircea_popescu: no you don't understand, "Software, lingüística, mitologia nórdica e rock'n'roll". a true renaiswitter man.
mircea_popescu: one node higher from that : i was unaware anyone involved actually had the subjective mechanism of indentity. it works like this "don't do that, only gypsies do that, we're not gypsies". that's identity. whereas who in c ever said anything of the kind ?
shinohai: I can't make it out, looked very close to a dried bovine penis for all I can tell.
asciilifeform: for n00bz and perhaps also for mircea_popescu , i will add the note here, that lisp folk don't generally ~read~ the parens, they read the indentation. this requires proper tools, such that the possibility of encountering misindented crapola is ~= 0.
phf: hmm, fair question, but i don't remember, i can't remember if tab even indents to the right place, i'll check in a bit
phf: asciilifeform: well, in a sense that it wasn't immediately obvious that read-delimited-list is a fundamental concept
asciilifeform: phf: i don't see how this is needed for fexprs
shinohai is disappointed PeterL didn't use vellum
a111: Logged on 2015-06-17 13:17 asciilifeform: you can pick up a textbook and write a dram controller for fpga from first principles - and it won't work. because, for starters, only a small number of output cells in the chip can function on both rising and falling edge of clock cycle (what 'ddr' means) and only xilinx's closed turd knows where they are in the routing fabric;
mircea_popescu: in which we find that <blockquote style="word-wrap:break-word;"> doesn't work. because why would it!
mircea_popescu: you don't understand how software works!
mircea_popescu: why didn't it arrive ? segwit ?
shinohai: http://archive.is/MoEpk <<< lolzworthy, is complaining because paid a bitpay invoice from a coinbase account and wonders why it didn't arrive.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-02#1551344 << anyone who claims to be doing os or bios dev and does not have this instrument is deaf and blind. but if you aren't into either, then it is just a very threadbare comp. ☝︎
asciilifeform: and no you don't need a hd in there
trinque: asciilifeform: http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/fdxx7/?raw=true << can't run any 'monitor' commands
mircea_popescu: but no, they don't work, for eg http://www.loper-os.org/pub/sage/sage_smartprobe_gdb_command_manual.html#sideband_commands
asciilifeform: all it means is that he cpu wasn't halted properly
mircea_popescu: myeah ok, i can't see anything past "here's tmsr in blockchain form".
asciilifeform: trinque: naturally the probe won't do anything useful without being connected to a powered amd mobo
trinque: can't get gdb connected to it yet, but connecting to it directly either with cu or telnet reports: SmartProbe: 3.2_3743
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
a111: Logged on 2016-01-23 22:21 mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-01-2016#1383219 <<< i wouldn't buy a thing with "SawStop (tm)" and i certainly don't want to HAVE to.
phf: oh that was entirely unfair thing to do, apparently a111 wasn't in limbo, but it's happy sept to oct log rotation day
phf: only issue with the regrind approach is clerical. it's easy to keep track of "this new thing that i don't have", much harder to keep all the "this old thing that i have is now new thing" updates
asciilifeform: good old king vlad t didn't finish a job, or wat.
asciilifeform: last i saw, mircea_popescu doesn't host versions of his articles with old typos still in'em, anywhere
mircea_popescu: "While we would fire Ben over this, node.js is an open source project and one doesn't necessarily have the same levers." aka "we've not yet managed to steal ben's work, but will posture as if anyway!!1"
trinque: can't argue with that.
mircea_popescu: "This isn't merely a legalistic concern (though that too, certainly), but also a technical one: we believe that empathy is a core engineering value—and that an engineer that has so little empathy as to not understand why the use of gendered pronouns is a concern almost certainly makes poor technical decisions as well."
mircea_popescu: to install them as top brass in existing offices would a) mean that women are disgusting cocksuckers ; b) mean that niggers don't have the right to vote and c) prevent any maintenance work from ever happening in all of wash dc.
ben_vulpes: hmfic also wants to install 'their friends' at managerial payrolls. wouldn't do at all to bring them in as toilet scrubbers in the 'white house communications agency'. 'but but i'm more important to just be a cog in an existing organization -- we need our own new best shiniest!'
mircea_popescu: gotta make a new one for each new generation of fucks, because well, as seen recently they have all the social skills of a mollusc and so can't work with anyone else but "their friends"
mircea_popescu: yes. we don't really give so much of a shit about inept usg wanna-bes.
ben_vulpes: piece is about 1.2 bn of options lia "didn't understand"
shinohai: V even solves the problem of gendered pronouns in software development. Is there anything it can't do?
mircea_popescu: it's a miserable anchor for identity, this "ways we do things" ; and for that matter the sort of brain that doesn't take well to public discussion of technology is fundamentally broken in ways that should be addressed long before any technological involvement.
mircea_popescu: ah that doesn't exist.
asciilifeform: if somebody would like to recommend some proggy for speaking to serial ports that 1) isn't gnu screen 2) doesn't shit all over the living room precisely like gnu screen 3) doesn't have 'gui' --- i'm all ears.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform . --help doesn't work though!
asciilifeform: it ain't linux - esp. not with the weird broken gui on it
shinohai: mircea_popescu: gcc6 wouldn't produce binary for me at all :/
mircea_popescu: how the fuck isn't it human nature to do something useful with oneself ?
mircea_popescu: that didn't take so long now did it.
asciilifeform: https://archive.is/Ucy0Y << american wanker 'gets it,' but 'doesn't like getting it'
mircea_popescu: i don't think one can properly appreciate how broken "thought process" is in general population unless they do such. or try to teach. or try to tech support. or practice law. or so following.
asciilifeform: 'don't car loan', 'don't mortgage', ...
mircea_popescu: they generally are shaped like don't.
asciilifeform: but they are shaped like 'don't's
asciilifeform: actually, at least here in the motherland of p.t. barnum, there are countless '5k bills' on the ground
mircea_popescu: not so many 5k bills laying on ground, so 100k folks don't get this opportunity.
shinohai: Wasn't exactly "employed" when I bought new lappy ... simply found work for Bitcoin and purchased the one I wanted.
diana_coman: download the eulora client and compile it/check it works on your machine; ask for an account; preferably don't quit the irc session, just leave it on until Mircea comes around to make you the account
mircea_popescu: phf i dunno, doesn't register as antagonism in my head, just pure fear. which is weird, but w/e.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: bravo on the parachute btw. looking forward to more publishings that 'everyone knows already' but really doesn't and that are 'incredibly obvious to alert reader' but really aren't.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: what's with these pseudonymous commenters who don't link to their own personal blogs ?
a111: Logged on 2016-09-29 22:07 phf: i was part of a similar channel, where snr started dropping rapidly and the founder didn't have the heart to start removing people. a handful of us who were actually doing things just ended up moving to a different, much smaller channel. i remember one of the guys who started ineptly throwing weight, kremlin, from that other channel. useless hangeron. the default banter just reminded of the other low snr place...

BingoBoingo: <trinque> in other news, goodbye to guy named for club in which he isn't. << Reminds me I should get back to work on that fanfic because cults are so unfair
asciilifeform: that'd be the, what, 2nd time someone 'you couldn't possibly be The Real mircea_popescu !111' , neh ?
trinque: in other news, goodbye to guy named for club in which he isn't.
asciilifeform: 'Sep 29 17:32:52 <mircea_popescu> well no, and i can't remedy that, because no logs.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it ain't logged anywhere, is it..?
catvorg_cultist: Wasn't most popular language javascript?
asciilifeform: a bug triggered by a case that won't happen in 10,001 years is STILL A BUIG
mircea_popescu: a generation of "if you don't know what a word means, don't go look it up in the dictionary, it's not like western culture is a thing or that you're bound to it my precious snowflake! you can do anything, so ~guess~ what might have been meant!" cca 1960s ran into the products of a generation that made things very much like an ak, cca 1940s. the results are exactly of this nature,
asciilifeform: 'If a filename contains whitespace, it undergoes WordSplitting. Assuming we have a file named 01 - Don't Eat the Yellow Snow.mp3 in the current directory, the for loop will iterate over each word in the resulting file name: 01, -, Don't, Eat, etc. If a filename contains glob characters, it undergoes filename expansion ("globbing"). If ls produces any output containing a * character, the word containing it will become recognized as a
mircea_popescu: masse isn't that much of a concern.
mircea_popescu: catvorg_cultist as pointed in the logs, non-bash is simply not used ; so the fact that dumb holes like that weren't found is not actually much proof they're not there.
mircea_popescu: amusingly, "always use quotes" and "don't use the sh wordsplitting" is good advice for sh just as much.
