phf: the hard part is to actually get a hold of a 'model f'.
trinque: well, as
phf said sanity would be that you have orthogonal ops, write own macros for whatever you do 500 times a day, and can call it 8==D for all anyone cares
mircea_popescu:
phf possibly. in any case, the issue is the "DWIM" symbols in thought, let alone language.

phf:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-10#1711748 << this is a kernel level limit on number of arguments you can pass through argv (documented in e.g. man execve). i think recent linux kernels actually have this work somewhat dynamically.

phf: i need to figure out how to persist it better. for example i think that the flags should be passed on through <- and -> page changes. or perhaps you should be able to store them in cookie

phf: this is a btcbase.org psa: if you add ?nick=yournick to the end of a message listing url you're going to get highlight for messages from yournick and messages that have yournick in their text. handy for when you want to see recent messages related to yourself
mod6: <+
phf> the feature has been there for a while.. i really should document all the different flags that you can pass to message listing << aha. this would be great as I know the thing does a lot of things, i can just never remember what they are :]
shinohai: neat
phf ... yeah a complete list would be handy

phf: internet is fascinating from moscow. i didn't realize how many websites are mediated by cloudflare, but now i know because every few clicks i'm asked to confirm that i'm not a bot

hanbot: * tmsrcat (~tmsrcat@unaffiliated/hanbot/bot/tmsrcat) has joined #trilema-hanbot << yeah it was all my account setup's fault, thanks
phf & trinque. hopefully i'ma manage to make something useful out of this.

phf: problem is that nickserv doesn't say that anymore, the message is still the same, but it now adds some control sequences that i think make the font bold or italic or something in the legacy irc clients (???)
hanbot: ty
phf, i'll try that. also the bot identifies as me (grouped to my acct); if it was expecting bot's nick maybe that's a problem...

phf ? lobbes ?

phf: asciilifeform: your thing is existentially terrifying, it demands a lot from the "user" (not sure it even accepts the notion of user) when they look at it, they see a glimpse of own mortality
a111: Logged on 2017-09-02 20:04
phf: i'd say it's more like 80s lego and modern lego (if you haven't seen, now it's all >50% custom per-toy parts, that can be snapped to a traditional lego coupling, but otherwise non-universal)

phf et al : to briefly continue
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-31#1707895 -- picture an a4-sized plinth, of, e.g., 32 dimm slots. each can contain a card of sram, or alternatively of 4 ice40-8k's, or some peripheral ( e.g. nic magnetics. )
trinque: isn't any very good reason why
phf's style and ben_vulpes's style are both facts expressed in some datastructure, identified by their respective hashes.
mircea_popescu: it is more ~convenient~ to have the url in
phf style, but this convenience does not change the fact that yes, they ARE ben_vulpes style.
mircea_popescu: as
phf points out, a noisy engine that still runs nevertheless is still running.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-31 22:26 asciilifeform:
phf: at some point ( and by this i mean when finished ffa / released 'p' ... ) i'ma have a large board made, with, say, 8 ice40-8k's, and row of dimm-holders...

phf: gabriel_laddel_p: it was a form of speech, but it didn't go anywhere with you. i'm saying it's not a lisp machine, because i have a lisp machine on an fpga right here, ron garret saw a demo and thinks it's a lisp machine. he's sold, i'm not, so it stands.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-24 03:11
phf: but there was none of that, because there wasn't actually anything being done. i think it would be a lot more impressive if you setup a non trivial task and showed how masamune makes that task easier to perform

phf:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-24#1632161 << i just didn't think the video was good. i also can install all the individual packages that are involved, but i wanted to see if and how the symbiosis makes you more productive
a111: Logged on 2016-11-30 23:58
phf: gabriel_laddel: well this is my avocation, so hacking on hemlock and installing masamune in sfo is cost equivalent. i'd make a trip just as a mini vacation, i'll see when's the closest i can swing it
trinque:
phf: I had a recent thread with the beach character in which "yeah, nobody knows what gadgets are for, can probably go" and so on.
mircea_popescu:
phf basically what i take his notion to be re the problem is you know, "i'll just mp it", which may seem like a workable idea until one stops to notice that the original mp never actually attempted to guess prices.
jackdaniel: I know
phf nick, can't remember where from
mircea_popescu: jackdaniel dja know any of the fellows ? asciilifeform ?
phf ?
a111: Logged on 2017-08-31 19:14
phf: jack daniel or whatever his name (ECL guy, who's working on CLIM) made actual progress on the codebase (though some percent of it is wracker work) despite and since being condemned by g_l. i'm not quite sure what g_l did meanwhile..
mircea_popescu:
phf and other than "how do they calculate the bounties", are you supporting this ?
mircea_popescu: hey
phf you have any idea how they calculate the bounties ?
a111: Logged on 2016-08-23 01:55
phf: "<jackdaniel> [04:47:11] keep in mind my CLIM fu is very weak though :)" yet the guy is collecting money for paid CLIM internals development
mircea_popescu:
phf was this some guy briefly here ? or different people ?

phf: incidentally btcbase log loads from moscow, which i consider a personal affront
a111: Logged on 2017-08-29 20:21
phf is mildly curious is mp is doing his "once i found a thing, i read the whole archive" thing on 5gb or whatever it is of their log..

phf: i am long-time fan of howse.
mircea_popescu:
phf it's the bologna system that fucked it. angela tard about as relevant as the captain of the titanic.
mircea_popescu:
phf i perceive he's trying. doesn't know how is separate issue.
mircea_popescu: 1704882 << line count, conveniently provided by
phf. closing in on 2 mn.
mircea_popescu:
phf but in any case, i ~can~ read a million lines. take me a season, but then again what are seasons for,.

phf: that sounds like something else. the lesswrong folx are moron navelgazers. yes it makes sense to "use thinking" but not if the output is just a pile of ponyfic and fearmogering.
mircea_popescu: in particular
phf what'd be the name for "opinions and actions based on "i don't see anything wroing with it"" ? still rationalist ?
a111: Logged on 2017-08-29 14:00
phf: but yes i still think that you're a rationalist, without quotes. i don't think you would object to it, i mean, if you go by definition (opinions and actions based on reason and knowledge) rather than "rationalwiki" "rationalist".
a111: Logged on 2017-08-29 13:24
phf: but i think it was cool as a kind of roleplay toy "learn all these tricks and you'll be just like a mentat from dune"

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-29#1704716 << i don't think it matters which faction of ultra rationalist posthumanists you belong to. either way the nature of your misunderstanding of tmsr take certain predictable shape, and so are your interests, etc. nobody thinks that you literally suck yudkowsky's cock, but personally i don't even care.

phf the more amusing thing here is that only last week i was wondering where the 3d printing folk went.
mircea_popescu has very little experience with macs. get
phf or another ewxpert's opinion

phf: now i didn't find out about race conditions myself, that data point came from dks, they discovered race conditions as part of the emulator rewrite, but they have the benefit of having access to the necessary low level bits
