mp_en_viaje: that's such a particularly satisfying feeling when one's travelling.
a111: Logged on 2019-04-22 20:26 BingoBoingo: Follow up: Wants to know if anyone is hiring, informed him a couple datacenter places in Sao Paulo appear to be growing fast.
a111: Logged on 2019-04-22 17:09 PeterL: I run about 10 loads of wash a week, I don't want something that only handles one T-shirt at a time
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-22#1909341 << amusingly, that's whereabouts here too, 80-100kgs/week or so. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2019-04-22 17:06 PeterL: you don't just have to get the vacuum, you also have to vaporize the water
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-22#1909338 << he has a point ; you're still paying the lambda heat no matter what method you're paying it through. 15k is 15k. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2019-04-22 17:02 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: here's an old asciilifeform crackpottery : why exactly can't one buy clothes dryer that runs on vacuum pump, instead of heater.
mp_en_viaje: not even limited to marksmanship. it's just a general... look, if you're gonna be the sorta guy who uses rifle, guess who you sleep with at night.
mp_en_viaje: if there's one dood in a hundred in whose case the gun's the weak link in the gun-gunner dipole, it's a wonder.
asciilifeform: nagant is a pleasure to shoot, btw ( if famously underpowered by modern standards )
mp_en_viaje: of course, the problem with "terrible gun" is that 99.9x% of users are such fucking shit, the gun's shortcomings don't even show in the end product.
mp_en_viaje: it's really not that terrible.
mp_en_viaje: rarely seen state of affairs at us gun shops ; generally gun worth 3-500 selling for 1-2k. sks surely worth the 300.
a111: Logged on 2019-04-22 16:40 PeterL: I was in a gun store in 2010, they had an SKS for $120, but I didn't get it, wish I did, now they run about $450 around here
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-22#1909310 << certainly worth more than that. ☝︎
asciilifeform: ( iirc we had thread -- i started with a... cranequin )
asciilifeform: lol actually the item from concan doyle's 'the empty house'
a111: Logged on 2019-04-22 16:35 PeterL: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-21#1909210 << are you shooting the raccoons with a SKS, or am I mistakenly mixing these log lines together?
asciilifeform: ( afaik that's the only source of nondeterminism , at least for particular frozen gcc pov )
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: the 'snip out timestamp nonsense from gcc' thing has been itching since '15 ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2019-04-22 16:20 trinque: would be great to see ave1 take this on, and then perhaps get deterministic bins. could cut official ISOs from there
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-22#1909282 << at the very least a well documkented failed attempt will provide plenty of most informative tidbits. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2019-04-22 16:18 trinque: in fact, now that caught, repair *should* commence. gcc is the best first thing to fix.
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-22#1909277 << possibly ; though also rather large and involved. but we see. ☝︎
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: was built to be debugged, it their 1st (and last) piece of in-house silicon
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, "arbitrary', yes. the sorta arbitrary we do here, only called that in the sense i am not about to engage the relativistic dorkitudes of pantsuited morons.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, cuz built to be repaired huh.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: not entirely arbitrary, there was a ~massive~ increase in bulk + documented wtf's at 5.0
asciilifeform: ( funny thing, it actually has a debug pin that pisses out microcode index of current microinstruction )
a111: Logged on 2019-04-22 16:15 trinque: why not gcc3 or 2 then? where'd the thompson come in?
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-22#1909271 << we picked 4.something as an arbitrary cutoff at some point illo tempore, through a mostly passive schelling / ad hoc agreement procedure. whatever the merits of the actual spot picked -- picking MULTIPLE ones is bad in the sense you get the downside multipled and nothing else. ☝︎
asciilifeform: thing moves at 8mhz and has slightly more than 100 active signal lines, not esp. tall order.
asciilifeform: little flex pcb thing, inserts under the 'ivory' and brings the signals out to analyzer. ☟︎
asciilifeform: 1st item tho will be to bake the cpu interposer i drew up the day i got the seekritdirt.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i've deliberately not gone beyond 'read papers in hammock' stage for bolixism, on acct of this.
mp_en_viaje: but DO NOT run off to that before finishing this.
mp_en_viaje: AND, with all the experience from ffa, you actually got what you need as a basis to actually make that megaspire work.
mp_en_viaje: alright, well, month's not bad -- by the time you're done with ffa you can start a mega-bolix series.
asciilifeform: ( will add 'rotate' and 'conventional exponent' , that's it for them )
asciilifeform: i dun expect to make any major changes to the numerics, however
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: at least month -- there's a heavy piece i haven't even started yet -- keccak
mp_en_viaje: how long you got till ffa series done ?
a111: Logged on 2019-04-01 14:08 asciilifeform: in other noose, asciilifeform nao has what appears to be full pinout, timing, bus sequence, register, init magic, interrupts, etc. spec for bolix 'ivory' (won't, presently, say from where, unless source wants to be cited, plox to write in. )
asciilifeform: i've been slowly eating the http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-01#1906471 + relateds, and seeing exactly how this was baked, it is quite interesting. ☝︎
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: 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'.' ☝︎☟︎
mp_en_viaje: i suppose this is not even vaguely new, at least not to people familiar with politics. http://www.ilcaragiale.eu/opere/articole/frati_radicali.html is from 1890s ; but otherwise, the "very principled and intransigent opposition politician" is... well... http://www.ilcaragiale.eu/opere/momente_si_schite/unchiul_si_nepotul.html
mp_en_viaje: when push comes to shove, the dude writing the page about "how to fix c" that seemed sane on superficial examination will come out as exactly the same mind as what produced the problem in the first place.
mp_en_viaje: "not particularly c-retarded" the apparence is strictly due to ~their lieing~.
mp_en_viaje: i confess i had hoped this may solve itself ; but then again c evidently only attracts a certain kind of person. whatever it may be they ~say~, whenever it seems
mp_en_viaje: nobody does micro-surgery to re-allign the tiny rectal blood vessels and remove the hernia that caused the hemorrhoid in the first place. i don' tthink we should either, but rather, discover some working and workable string.
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. ☟︎☟︎
mp_en_viaje: but it seems doubtless that on the long term, the eulora-style of "isolate, strangle and diminish" approach is the only way to handle c. rather than provide support for it, produce some kind of small and compact translator that permits most of the "features" it "offers" to die quietly while not getting in our way in any major sense.
a111: Logged on 2019-03-26 19:58 mircea_popescu: bvt, http://archive.is/febOU#selection-255.67-255.135 challenge specifically offers you excellent entry point : there's a bunch of contact details available, what's "me" resolve to as a provision endpoint.
mp_en_viaje: just because the entire "mes" thing turned out to be a single dude who further turned out to be a moron does not immediately resolve the matter of whether tcc can be bent into usable shape ; nor whether it should be confiscated wioth a view towards such bending. ☝︎
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
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-22#1909254 << nah, not worth doing. the approach is probably to find some other way, tcc or w/e, to replace the gcc step-by-step peeling of layers of filth. ☝︎☟︎
a111: Logged on 2019-04-22 15:03 asciilifeform: i.e. i was able to build conventional gentoo ( per my old recipe ) w/out any such thing in the mix
a111: Logged on 2019-02-17 15:03 mircea_popescu: "/* The count field we have in the main struct object is somewhat limited, but should suffice for virtually all cases. If the counted value doesn't fit, re-write a zero. The worst that happens is that we re-count next time -- admittedly non-trivial in that this implies some 2M fdes, but at least we function. */"
a111: Logged on 2019-04-22 14:29 spyked: asciilifeform, unfortunately 2GB (max. supported by motherboard) might still not be enuff. ideally I would plug in ave1 gnat build and use it to build a minimal system, but will prolly have to bootstrap the whole thing on another machine.
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-22#1909246 << holy shit what the fuck's the point of all the http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-17#1897508 / http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-17#1897508 etc etc shenanigans, if they don't fit in a fucking 2147483648 byteschunk! ☝︎☝︎
mp_en_viaje: best way to do these, i always say : while im not there.
a111: Logged on 2019-04-22 07:40 spyked: in spyked updates: feedbot-iii is scheduled to be published this week, followed by schedule for next work, followed by (by now late) pics from http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-06#1907055
asciilifeform: tho i do find it interesting, that it is difficult ( unlike on von neumann cpu ) to write a fpga filling that 'worx sometimes'
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: it still gotta be eaten & characterized, if to be used.
a111: Logged on 2019-04-22 00:00 asciilifeform: in entirely unrelated heathen lulz : asciilifeform found an -- apparently working -- usb 'serial device' stack for ice40 . only eats 1/3 of the LUTs in the '8k', too.
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-21#1909212 << you know ? pretty lulzy i thought. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-05-23 03:37 mircea_popescu: Mocky, there's a usg-reservation in mexico. there's however also the headquarters of the only military force to humiliate the usg at home to date, they pretty much conquered the old mexican lands well into arizona.

mp_en_viaje: oh no, wait, it wasn't michael jackson. it was that retarded fat fuck that subbed for bruce dickinson in 1995.
mp_en_viaje: i dunno if you know the subtext there, but anyway, at some point in the 90s romanians got REALLY butthurt someone thought budapest is the capitol.
mp_en_viaje: well, either that or marakesh.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, prolly going to prague this weekend.

mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-21#1909189 << naah. also left behind all sorta electronics etc. it's nonsensical to take peaches to the orchard. ☝︎
asciilifeform: ffa text massage , mostly
BingoBoingo: Follow up: Wants to know if anyone is hiring, informed him a couple datacenter places in Sao Paulo appear to be growing fast. ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2018-09-04 16:24 BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> speaking of which, BingoBoingo you ARE making cozy with dc tech people rite ? taking them out to smoke & crimping them to pot or w/e it is they do socially there ? << Fairly friendly with them now that Rodrigo (Fellow who decided to be the point man in the February affair, ben_vulpes met) is gone.
BingoBoingo: In other olds becoming news Rodrigo of http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-08#1840381 http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-04#1847576 sent me a message out of the blue inquiring how the business is going. ☝︎☝︎
BingoBoingo: I get the sun and wind. Even somewhat sheltered from most rain. More wind can be summoned with the heat pump too. For just about everything except demin it works.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i have neighbours who use clotheslines; the prob is that these ~dunwork ~atall over here 4-5 months of year
BingoBoingo: I've got a clothing fork on the balcony that holds quite a bit, but denim just doesn't seem to dry completely before dew falls i the night and gets it wet again.
asciilifeform: PeterL: thinking moar re travel applications
PeterL: I run about 10 loads of wash a week, I don't want something that only handles one T-shirt at a time ☟︎
asciilifeform: imho would still be useful tho, to have a suitcase-sized item that can wash and dry a single shirt..
asciilifeform: i suppose you'd still have to supply the 23kj/kg or what was the heat of enthalpy
PeterL: you don't just have to get the vacuum, you also have to vaporize the water ☟︎
PeterL: I think you are underestimating the power that you would need for this
asciilifeform: granted you need a reasonably thick and airtight pot for this
asciilifeform: but it only takes ~100w for perhaps ~hour to draw a coupla buckets' sized vacuum
asciilifeform: PeterL: why wouldja want to run the pump on gas?!
BingoBoingo: Same reason you can't get borosilicate in the US outside of flea markets, drugwar.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: here's an old asciilifeform crackpottery : why exactly can't one buy clothes dryer that runs on vacuum pump, instead of heater. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: I don't much anymore. Towels coming out of the wash buckets dry faster than jeans.
a111: Logged on 2019-03-15 13:12 diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-03-15#1902694 -> I always thought jeans were cowboy stuff, not miner; and at least initially part of the "waiting for the americans" i.e. a tribute to an imagined greatness; how it morphed afterwards into an uniform I have no idea.
PeterL: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-03-15#1902839 << Am I the only one who wears jeans here? I find them comfortable and they are sturdy, good for getting work done. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2019-04-18 22:15 mod6: I try to keep it in my mind that this is an ~array~ of words. And in my head, arrays grow left to right. Or bottom up.
PeterL: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-18#1909077 << I always picture arrays going left-to-right or top-to-bottom, like you would see if you tell a computer "for x in my_array: print x" ☝︎
asciilifeform: iirc sovok was 1st to chrome inside , they carried on using corrosive hg-based primer in shell long past when others quit
PeterL: yugos are the ones who added a grenade launcher to the end
