mp_en_viaje: ~are aware~ it's a scam. now it suddenly costs him more to figure out wtf you're doing than it costs you to play. sometimes this occurs to him, in which case you sudden;y got a conection in the local underground.)
mp_en_viaje: (think about the example -- the fellow running it has been doing it for a while, very readily spots that you
mp_en_viaje: there's a very marked difference between the people who know it's a scam -- and therefore ~NEVER~ indulge and the people who know it's a scam and yet very occasionally indulge. the difference's the former are "well educated" engineers, whereas the latter "illegal"
mp_en_viaje: from an engineering perspective, the strategy's "too tight", fails at what could be described as "useful waste". the sort of activity like going on an aimless walk, or talking to an unknown woman, or playing a few rounds of three card monte with some guy on the street.
mp_en_viaje: in the end, it's an all-in bet on reich stability. like everyone else in there.
mp_en_viaje: the net result is a "very intelligent' android that's obviously an android to ~everyone in the biz of spotting androids, but who otherwise claims to be hungry and making eternal plans to restaurant meals that ever justifiedly do not occur.
mp_en_viaje: what's left is then going to the restaurant, which the android agrees to do ; but at every single juncture where an actual going to a restaurant could occur, the urgent disadvantage of immediate expenditure overwhelms the general principles flowing from c -- through an a-mediated process that slowly improves the quality of "arguments" brought over time under the selection pressure provided by a + whatever ourside source available. ☟︎
mp_en_viaje: the process then becomes evident : c requires it to occasionally engage in the activity of eating, but the "whilst some have been driven by organisational necessity, for example, finite resources." problem, to quote the united knelliot, precludes buying kitchen equipment or raw materials.
mp_en_viaje: consider for elucidation the model of an android, which for our didactic needs is a) very intelligent ; b) doesn't need to physically eat ; c) is required to appear to the common human as a common human.
mp_en_viaje: this coupled with a very myopic perception of outside reality, whereby the closer inconveniences are always overcounted and structural problems systematically discounted yield a very stable situation : he sits in the worst part of the us, complains about it, and will sit there until the day he dies.
mp_en_viaje: anyway, it comes down to very entrenched management ineptitude. guy wants to do what he wants to do not what he must do, has complicated, patiently constructed over time (through selection, much like how species appear) list of explanations/justifications.
a111: Logged on 2019-05-13 03:49 asciilifeform: arguably it comes down to a stupid choice of profession. the software pseudo-industry only really exists in the reich + its tendrils, afaik.
mp_en_viaje: extremely incompetent yet extremely ambitious, sorta nonsense that screams for a sound trashing.
mp_en_viaje: hurr durr. reading the vomit of "statal actors" is pretty fucking disturbingly like reading http://trilema.com/2016/the-story-of-elliot-rodger-by-elliot-rodger-adnotated-part-nine/#selection-167.12-171.94

asciilifeform: i've lived on the wage of unskilled labourer before. and not interested in doing it again, would rather be gassed.

asciilifeform: ... and i did have to go to it physically 1ce, to audition. and earlier, had to work in ninth circle of hell for 6mo+ while looked for it in the 1st place.
asciilifeform: billymg: it's very simple -- money. i work for living, and have never done it anywhere other than in the reich, 'meatwot' is there.

billymg: asciilifeform: if you don't mind me asking -- in that thread you made a good case for leaving the reich as soon as possible, but i've also seen threads (can't find right now) where others in the channel have tried to convince you of the same, without any luck
billymg: but still unclear to me the best way to do so

BingoBoingo: All of this energy for the most boring sport, no energy for anything else
BingoBoingo: Stadium restrooms were destroyed, but no biogoop was harmed this time.
BingoBoingo: So today there was a big futbol game between the two big teams. Game hyped up as "Campeon de Siglio"... The game ended in a 1-1 tie
asciilifeform: evidently it is possible to have cargo cult with working (in a sense) planes.
asciilifeform: given as the cn folx actually do ship irons, asciilifeform had notion that they differ from 'precious cuntlets of washingtonistan'. but evidently not ~so~ different .
mp_en_viaje: you don't understand technology, do you. it's like policymaking, what production.
a111: Logged on 2019-05-12 19:14 asciilifeform: i.e. asciilifeform ported to pogo (even had working, save for the flash disk, netbsd port) , then the iron vanished from market long before achieved anyffin useful on it
a111: Logged on 2019-04-23 23:09 asciilifeform: incidentally, even a very brief look at the 1801 item confirms the troof of http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-14#1896836 -- thing defo aint a 'and here is where the ameri-crystal does x' , it's a quite 'fits-in-head' object , very evidently produced from page-long spec of the orig instruction set
asciilifeform: ( where the fuck, for instance, is their http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-23#1909567 ?? ) ☝︎
asciilifeform: the chinese are comically inept imho, to the point that it aint clear whether they even want to live.
asciilifeform: the moar significant problem tho is that it aint clear whether 'the game is worth the candles', for xyz chinese part. and to answer the q, takes considerable effort and expense, cuz the demo boards are ridiculously crippled.
asciilifeform: ( before mp_en_viaje asks -- it sadly aint practical to take a unit off an existing board and reuse. they're all bga . )
asciilifeform: which makes building prototype board quite tricky if you aint already chinese
asciilifeform: we had iirc entire thread about this, 'chinese problem'. parts that only ever get mounted in china, tend to not get exported 'naked' at all
asciilifeform: bvt: naturally, to inca it's all gettable.
bvt: yes, but nevertheless the boards with these chips appear every day. perhaps need to show inca earplugs of some minimum size to get them?
asciilifeform: e.g. 'digikey' stocks even i386. but not that mips. (or any other mips, aside from early 2000s microcontrollers like 'pic32' )
asciilifeform: bvt: aahahaha but then try an' source the chip.
bvt: to my understanding you design them yourself; devboards are just for testing the cpu/chipset
a111: Logged on 2019-05-12 19:09 asciilifeform: ( and in fact would rather leave 'repentant linus'-era kernels entirely alone, if it can be helped, and if cannot , would prefer to pilfer patches an' backport intelligently to old kernel , if it comes to this )
asciilifeform: bvt: where are the 'non-dev' boards, then ?
asciilifeform: there's nuffin physically impossible about baking an arm (or mips etc) board that eats socketed ecc ram. but there seems to be a de-facto usg fatwa against'em, or sumthing
bvt: well, those are devboards, i don't think anyone sells them as a serious item. but amateurs - buy
asciilifeform: it's almost like these things are carefully designed to be unusable for any serious job
asciilifeform: and result is ~useless board, no canhaz trb in 1GB
asciilifeform: wtf is with the ubiquitous plague of non-expandable ram, incidentally
asciilifeform: this btw was the dealkiller for asciilifeform re the 1 and only recent mips board on the market -- it had non-removable wifi
bvt: (chinese messed with m.2 port wiring, need to buy strange adapter board to bring it to sanity)
asciilifeform: ( beyond this, cannot comment, i do not have one. and i dun much like soldered-on-wifi boards, tbh )
asciilifeform: i recall this board, tho, rather costly imho for what's on it
bvt: i have an m.2 nvme ssd there, but the hw setup is convoluted enough to recommend bying *some other* board for these purposes
asciilifeform: btw bvt the archive link is a blang pg
asciilifeform: bvt: you'd have to connect a real disk to have a useful trb, but otherwise i can't see why not
asciilifeform: i.e. asciilifeform ported to pogo (even had working, save for the flash disk, netbsd port) , then the iron vanished from market long before achieved anyffin useful on it ☟︎
bvt: i have a http://archive.is/EUW9n item at home, with kernel from some arm64 distro and pizarro rockchip rootfs, but i never got time properly setup this device (plan was, run trb node)
asciilifeform: porting linux to oddball irons does sometimes feel like 'writing in the sand' -- you sweat, then the thing goes out of print and 'ocean washes away'
asciilifeform: i dun recall whether all the periphs worked
asciilifeform digs for thread, but cannot immediately find
bvt: it is not clear to me if big.little ever worked acceptably with linux -- they are tuning even today
bvt: iirc changed, but too recently to even consider a switch anyways
asciilifeform: ( and in fact would rather leave 'repentant linus'-era kernels entirely alone, if it can be helped, and if cannot , would prefer to pilfer patches an' backport intelligently to old kernel , if it comes to this ) ☟︎
asciilifeform: nao this ~may~ have changed some time in past yr, but i am loathe to bake new kernels when i have a working one.
asciilifeform: bvt: my 3328 boxes run off rk's branch to begin with
bvt: asciilifeform: rk3399 is a bit trickier in usage than rk3328 of pizarro rockchip -- big.little arch, so scheduling and power management have to come from rockchip kernel tree, not vanilla.
a111: 2019-02-19 <ave1> Btw asciilifeform, I had to switch my cheap NFS account to a more expensive one as php 5.6 is no longer supported in their new setup. I expect that sometime, at the end of this year, 5.6 will also disappear from "production" sites.
asciilifeform: this 1 claims rk3399 (same as in ye olde c101pa thing and various chinese boards)
asciilifeform: will have to see, to believe ( same people coupla yrs ago sold a 'kit-assemble' arm lappy, but was legendarily shoddy )
asciilifeform: re lappies : recently someone wrote to asciilifeform re an rk lappy supposedly in pre-production .
asciilifeform has witnessed chinese 'microfibers' that still managed to leave crapola behind, however
mp_en_viaje: pretty sure it's exact same thing, material wise.
lobbesbot: asciilifeform: The operation succeeded.
asciilifeform: !Q later tell phf plox to snarf sig in http://bvt-trace.net/2019/05/unrolled-assembly-comba/ ( and diana_coman 's earlier ) at your earliest , into btcbase, ty
asciilifeform: re-grease (alumina, not silicone, greases), tighten.
asciilifeform: 1st with medical alcohol , then dry.
asciilifeform: use lint-free tampons on stick, the same kind as for rifles
asciilifeform: some folx dun clean, result is 'petrol station toilet' inside of lappy.
asciilifeform: when buying vintage lappies, dun fughet to scrub inside, and (if can get) replace fan.
bvt: could be, i never got to disassemble and check the board after changing wlan card.
asciilifeform: then again i do clean these things yearly.
asciilifeform: mine fwiw happily runs for week+ (never had occasion to longer) under 100% cpu, and no issues
asciilifeform: bvt: sounds like you have a dud inductor, rather than overheat
asciilifeform: iirc it is possible , with the sad coreboot, to peg fan to run at 100% forever. but then you have not a lappy but an 'air cleaner' ..
asciilifeform: bvt: i had it overheat ~immediately when put under load with the 'rms coreboot', so went back to vendor's ( with above patch, or can't use civilized nic in it )
bvt: is it that much more stable with lenovo bios? i had it overheat with both orig. and coreboot variants, so stayed with coreboot
asciilifeform: who sold it to feed his dope habit
asciilifeform: at one time i had 'x61' also, but pronounced it sad and sent it to, iirc, gabriel_laddel
asciilifeform: ( aaalso subj of the infamous 'rms laptop' thrd. )
a111: Logged on 2016-03-03 20:46 asciilifeform: i eventually put back the heathen bios on the x60, BUT i ida'd it and nop'd out the imbecile nic whitelist
asciilifeform: ( http://btcbase.org/log/2016-03-03#1421281 << orig. , i think, thrd re this specimen ) ☝︎
bvt: at the time i was getting mine - only w. T2400 and iirc slower cpu were available
asciilifeform: the 1 i have , is this.
