mp_en_viaje: but i don't believe in not paying honest merchant. i do believe in not indulging stupid woman's pretense to relevancy and "rule making".
asciilifeform: iirc there was even a fella who flew, for yrs, not only w/out ticket, but... as pilot. ( said, 'hi i am pilot', no one asked for diploma for decade+ )
mp_en_viaje: well, lufthansa dropped the ball, so i went munchen-budapest w/o plane tickets yes.
asciilifeform: notbad. ( maybe next time can also pull off w/out tickets ? )
mp_en_viaje: tbh, the whole "border" thing is becoming mostly a joke.
asciilifeform: funnily enuff, BingoBoingostan installed facewank. they dun stamp anyffin at all.
mp_en_viaje: but this was the system then. which is what im saying, the face wank is an upgrade, not a new system
mp_en_viaje: at the time they gave you this piece of paper when you came in, to give them back when you leave.
mp_en_viaje: "like fucking hell you can't ; drive". so she does cuz more affraid of dood in car than vague theoretical doods at us border. who come swarming in, "why is car driving TOWARDS us side on exit". and so i give them the shit, whatever it was
mp_en_viaje: she's like "you can't go back that way".

mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-23#1909478 << very 1990s ro naivite this. i guess they'll figure it out in their own time. ☝︎

mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-23#1909476 << fair enough ; though really most physical mexicans pull double duty. ☝︎
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.
a111: Logged on 2019-04-23 20:01 bvt: PeterL: binary ave1gnat is already hosted by asciilifeform; but it's integration into cuntoo is an open problem that ave1 should be best equipped to handle
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-23#1909543 << sadly fella seems to be mia : ☝︎
asciilifeform: concludes by summarizing (with illustration) the actual chem of the fab process.
asciilifeform: ( 1 'downer' -- apparently 'cells' drawn by hand, and then arranged by simple proggy , 'gred' -- but its sores not given in the doc )
asciilifeform: vol.2 p.133-151 pretty interesting, describes how the circuit was mapped out (spoiler: by hand) to the actual cmos.
asciilifeform: imho the so-called 'civilized' world ought to have to answer re why it failed to produce a product like this. ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2019-02-14 23:52 asciilifeform: in ru there are some decent microscopists ( not the 1 phf went to, but apparently others. ) for instance, very recently found that К1801 ( sovok 'pdp-11' single-chip ) was ~not~ in fact a photoclone of dec's (only the early '80s demo ver was!) but , turns out, entirely indigenous orc design, with coupla x ~fewer~ transistors and yet faster max clock
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 would luvvv to read 'ffa-style' incarnation of such a work, where the chip is 'built up' from empty space in ~hour-long chunks. but prolly this won't exist until asciilifeform writes 1.. ☟︎
asciilifeform: and yes it in fact describes operation (incl. physical params) of the ~internal~ blocks , not only the 'user-facing' pins.
asciilifeform: ^ and before mp asks, yes it's combo of manual typewriter and ink pen, and no it won't in a million years ocr, other than by meat ( and is largely schematics / waveforms anyway ) ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: i'ma mirror those scans, they dun deserve to live in a shithub
asciilifeform: revisiting upstack , the 1801 docs, pretty interesting document from 'techno-political' pov actually -- there does not exist a description like this (operation AND internals) for any reich cpu ever sold. certainly not as a vendor document under 1 cover (not speaking here of ad-hoc reversed tidbits) ☝︎
asciilifeform: rather than 300,000.
asciilifeform: i.e. what you'd want is to 'self-host' (on iron built for the purpose) a lang where a c, ada, etc. compiler is 3000 ln.
a111: Logged on 2019-04-23 13:59 mp_en_viaje: basically, c (not the code, nor the language -- the UNIVERSE, all encompassing, the mentalities of all they involved, their cultural productions over the decades, the horses they used and the women they mounted -- the whole universe) is a wart upon reason. like a hemorrhoid or something. you take your wart to the doctor, he ties a string tightly around it and well... it falls off eventually.
asciilifeform: to properly shoot the 'primacy of c' in the head, gotta remove the 'it is where the self-hosting happens' 1st and foremost. ☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: c is a pretty sad lang to write anyffin complicated in, ~especially~ a compiler (and c compiler is no exception)
a111: Logged on 2019-04-23 14:11 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-23#1909401 << whatever else can be said re bolix -- they had the Right Thing pill for this. 'yes you can build a c proggy on this iron; no it won't win you 'speed'.'

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-23#1909527 << currently i suspect that tcc & similar is a mirage; and that an actual serious solution would moar resemble the bolix approach, where you have a proper lisp and a ~compact~ + readable c-to-lisp ~in~ it for use with legacy crapola while-needed ☝︎☝︎☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: i dun expect to ever get hands on a complete elbrus-2 or etc.
asciilifeform: it is only interesting from the pov where e.g. asciilifeform bought small crate of k1801bm2 , and reasonably certain they aint modern fakes ( if i ever end up using'em, i'ma decap 1 at random & see.. )
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-23#1909541 << the published sores aint especially interesting, aside from archaeological pov ( if you have fpga -- yer product is only as clean as that fpga, and there aint any clean ones gettable ; and if there were, why wouldja want to simulate a pdp11 in it ?? ) ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-23#1909530 << iirc the orig problem was that the published musl gentoo starter culture trinque began working from, was built on gcc6 , which won't build 4.x (and therefore full replication involves stepping 6 -> 5 -> 4.9 ) ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2019-04-23 18:18 asciilifeform: really the only reason ru has any working weapons systems at all is that they were all designed in '70s-'80s sovok and run on 4uM 'k1801'
a111: Logged on 2019-04-23 14:23 asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: the 'snip out timestamp nonsense from gcc' thing has been itching since '15
bvt: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-23#1909440 << this would involve getting binutils under our control - bigger part of these timestamps are added by ar/ld; tbh i even dunno if gcc is responsible for this at all. ☝︎☟︎
PeterL: could one host a bin of the ave1 gnat?
a111: Logged on 2019-04-23 19:44 bvt: the problem with these both approaches is that it's impossible to get gnat/ada that way - gnat was bootstrapped from some commercial ada compiler in ~1994, and is self-hosted since that times. (well, impossible by definition with just tcc)
bvt: also, you can't build ave1gnat from scratch on fresh adaless system because of http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-23#1909529 - so initial gnat binary will be required (ebuilds just download binary gnat for that). ☝︎
PeterL: would it be hard to distribute gcc4 instead of gcc6 so that you would not have to build it? why do we have to start with gcc6?
a111: Logged on 2019-04-22 16:19 trinque: his gcc does not build upon musl, so I have not. prodded him a few times about getting his to run on a musl box.
bvt: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-22#1909279 << you can't use adacore's gnat to bootstrap ave1gnat on musltronic systems, but http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-15#1813753 works for that purpose; ☝︎☝︎
a111: Logged on 2019-04-22 16:03 trinque: if somebody finds a way of leaping directly from gcc6 to 4, I'll applaud him, but I'm not burning any more hours of life in there
bvt: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-22#1909254 << i suspect that fixing direct gcc6->gcc4 step involves something like http://archive.is/cBg9N#selection-9.1340-9.1425 ☝︎☟︎☟︎

lobbes: btw phf, I'm loving this log link markup. very cool
lobbes: After that, I'm going to start working on re-implementing the auto-bidding functionality (which will also be a vpatch) ☟︎
lobbes: next up on my conveyor is to publish a vpatch for the auctionbot proper, as right now I've only provided the 'command router' it sits on. I aim to have that out by Sunday the latest
a111: Logged on 2019-03-14 15:43 mircea_popescu: anyway, kinda why the insistence on "republic is political -- you can't just do tech thing" etc. and why dual court-and-manor function of lord. and so on.
lobbes: just to give an update: I've been taking the last few weeks to tend to the manor side of things (however, I'm current on logz) ☝︎
BingoBoingo: I lack direct experience in this, though I recall reading a few reports that the Confusious cancer was endemic in conversation among the washed.
BingoBoingo: Well, leverage that to the Chinense language in use not allowing for the "Todo bien" "Todo bien" exchange without situation dependent literary references to Confusious[sic].
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: iirc these tend to be seriously-advanced cases of christianity of the central nervous system, and fixated on the bit re 'great flood' etc
BingoBoingo: Prolly not so different from the folks seeing US going to shit that decide to hoard decades of canned foods instead of leaving.
asciilifeform: ( which makes approx same amt of sense as all other attempts to create 'unwet water', but i have nfi what the psychology is )
a111: Logged on 2019-03-17 15:42 mircea_popescu: matches well that group of "transsexuals" who evidently enough are so preoccupied with cunt, they just want one of their own. about as "transsexual" as the compulsive gambler who buys himself a slot machine for his "den" is "transeconomic",
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i suspect they are attempts to 'build own miami', in the spirit of http://btcbase.org/log/2019-03-17#1903015 ☝︎
BingoBoingo suspects the one state different systems treatment of Chinese "special administrative regions" is an effect of the anti-strategic Chinese languages. They want resort playground with different rules to play and hedge in, when the leases expired back to them they just sorta let the places happen. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: The Chicoms love gambling like trailer trash loves OD'ing on whatever the drug current decade happens to be
BingoBoingo: The lack of a strategy doesn't keep magic casino place on the coast with odd political status from happening.
asciilifeform: the chinese by all appearances are 'greedy algorithm', with no notion of strategy to speak of, nor any detectable ideological spine.
a111: Logged on 2019-04-18 04:25 asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: at this pt i'm not even convinced that there ~is~, or could be, a 'chinese strategy', or 'they want..' -- these folx have not developed a with-what to want , whole edifice reduces to individual party-appointed directors' desire for miami

BingoBoingo: I'm just suggesting that the trending reich might be shifting to the other one.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: a 'miamistan' in the essence is where the brass occupies self primarily with padding foreign acct , buying villas in reich, setting up their spawn to same, etc
BingoBoingo: Or whatever the PRC flag flies that draws the vacationers
asciilifeform: re: current-day ru -- despite the 'pr' and the appearance of 'uppitiness', it is still a miamistan. the '90s did not actually end there.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> what i dunget is whythefuq he was in londonistan to begin with << Well the extradition circus should be lulzy. Appears on the surface at least to be alienating some of the Germans.
asciilifeform: tbf ~same can be said for usg, where -- similarly -- the only '100% uptime' items are pdp11/microvax/etc where likewise '70s-'80s lsi and likewise no net etc
asciilifeform: errything which ~does~ hang off the net there, is same familiar shitware as in reich, i presently know of no evidence of an exception existing.

trinque: I take it snowden wasn't the only guy popping around on internal NSA machines and they saw him coming
asciilifeform: i suspect that trinque is right tho, and assange had some sorta cockroach in his head re 'honest press exists and will wake up' etc
asciilifeform: tbf normally reich subject needs visa for moscow ( i dun know how, precisely, s got around this on moment's notice ) ☟︎
trinque: could've cut the facade and booked it to moscow like snowden
asciilifeform: what i dunget is whythefuq he was in londonistan to begin with
