asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'carry' on most chips refers to a physically separate 1bit register. but sure
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you write down a statement that is logically impossible to transform into compiled code, per the ground rules, it is a compiletime eggog.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it makes no difference !
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'programmer said 11 -- we beat him with a stick' is trivial. of concern is arithmetic overflow/underflow.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what the fuck will a mod do ??
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in all fairness this was only a surprise to asciilifeform because he is a n00b; the b00k warns explicitly, in black on white letters.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: on no extant cpu can you apply range constraint predicate to a bus-wide fixnum. think about it.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes ? et al
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu ^ does this match your calculation ?
asciilifeform: let's say we go type Btc_Varint is range 0 .. (2**63)-1;
asciilifeform: and the 'doctor, it hurts when i do that! --- so stop doing that!' option is NOT available, as bitcoin's protocol mandates a 'compactsize' variable-bitness integer idiocy that maxes out at unsigned 64bit. ( see http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/serialize.h?v=asciilifeform_add_verifyall_option#0192 ) .
asciilifeform: and no, you can't gabriel_laddel over this boojum, and 'work around in software automagically', result will be a massive time AND space penalty at a seemingly arbitrary boundary (i.e. if you had bignumatron kick in above the can't-fixnum-no-moar threshhold)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: even this, is debatable
a111: Logged on 2017-01-30 21:18 mircea_popescu: because, of course, "Sepan los nacidos y los que van nacer que nacimos para vencer y no para ser vencidos."

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: it's optimized for crapplepad
trinque: ben_vulpes: I'd rather get some gossipd work rolling than put any more effort into hugging the IRC turd tighter
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: nah that was pre-braindamage kako
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: moar spawn, moar potential
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes your dong actually has offspring what.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: neato
mircea_popescu: then walter_ is gonna ask me about standards, apparently on the basis of his impression that such a thing as standards can even exist without l1 signing off.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-16 01:12 mircea_popescu: they're on a different domain, as per wordpress idiocy. and wget is apparently written by imbeciles.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: iirc there is only 'no-clobber'

asciilifeform idly wonders if at the end of this experiment he will end up with physically ~same box as what mircea_popescu made.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the application i am considering does not call for ultra-sensitive optics, though. 'normal people' use fiber to talk over multiple km. in my case -- a few metres, max.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: yandex iirc.
jhvh1: mircea_popescu: The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: !~later tell gabriel_laddel_p review your record. what have you made that i currently use ? useful means useful, and you're not it. that you're not it in spite of allegedly being capable rather than because incapable does not speak in your favour ; but on the contrary.
gabriel_laddel_p: mircea_popescu: Would you mind explaining why what I'm doing constitutes "banging my head"?
gabriel_laddel_p: mircea_popescu: ?
deedbot: mircea_popescu updated rating of gabriel_laddel_p from 1 to -1 << turns out the appeal was mostly to bang the head.
mircea_popescu: !!rate gabriel_laddel_p -1 turns out the appeal was mostly to bang the head.
deedbot: mircea_popescu rated gabriel_laddel_p 1 at 2016/12/01 18:38:14 << Crazed Cali Kid, but at least banging his head against a goldmine rather than a brick wall.
mircea_popescu: !!rated gabriel_laddel_p
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel_p: out of curiosity, how did you go about this? (wrote svg parser from scratch? ...or welded on heathen crapola?)
gabriel_laddel_p: mircea_popescu: me not dropping anything?
a111: Logged on 2017-01-30 16:43 gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: I'm not designing an atomic dirigible. I'm catching up on all the learning I've forsaken over the past four years to build Masamune. Yes, the eventual goal is to make a lispm, but it isn't as if I'm skipping meals to do CPU design.
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel_p: actually i somehow assumed that you wanted the metalens so as to enable chip microphotography in kitchen conditions
mircea_popescu: gabriel_laddel_p you're going the wrong direction. you don't need something MORE abstract to dick around with.
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel_p: 'catching up on missed learning' would look more like, say, working through exercises in feynman, say
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel_p: i recommend to take the advice of mircea_popescu ! in the sense where it is a waste of brain cycles to , past certain point, design 'atomic dirigible' if you haven't with what to make it, and have no foreseeable approach to it
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel_p: you can test this with bare hands. a metamaterial for long waves is also known as... ordinary waveguide. chandra bose made these in 1890s!
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel_p: dunno that electron beam nanofabrication happens at typical 'community college'
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel_p: were you involved with the experiment described in this link ? any thoughts on replicating same in jungle conditions ?
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel_p: you really oughta get an actual box to put these on
asciilifeform: ty gabriel_laddel_p , loads
a111: Logged on 2016-12-16 14:31 mircea_popescu: japan got buldozed chiefly because of the utterly immoral attitude of thinking people at the time.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there is ~always 'a human somewhere helping them'. recall the sakharov thread.

deedbot: gabriel_laddel_p rated adlai -10 << 0/10 on homework. Reposts known information in an attempt to appear useful
a111: Logged on 2017-01-07 23:33 gabriel_laddel_p: also, if you could locate the precise knuth book where he discusses balanced ternery, and then find me a warez copy, that would be useful
adlai: ben_vulpes: literally nothing: "If a defpackage form appears as a top level form, all of the actions normally performed by this macro at load time must also be performed at compile time."
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: vodka
a111: Logged on 2017-01-29 05:54 mircea_popescu: lol ahahaha wait, derpy left narrative is now that random judge can STAY an executive order ?
mod6: ben_vulpes: i like how wotpaste works in lynx btw.
mod6: diana_coman: well, i've got a box. my main focus has been getting these V changes put in. and pretty much think that's complete, but got a ton of testing in front of me.
mod6: <+diana_coman> mod6, it was actually quite decent << right on. how've you been lately? how's eulorian things?
mircea_popescu: diana_coman it's not terrible. mungiu &co.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, I missed that it seems
mircea_popescu: diana_coman did you see that "amintiri din epoca de aur" antology ? there's a segment there re apartment gassing of pig.
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: lol *expect
simonpenner: pete_dushenski: is that this visa denial one or is there another one now?
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: except trump's caddy to be every bit as brash. and are the amerikans still claiming a growing economy ? really ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: kernel is 100% c/asm, wat.
asciilifeform: ( mircea_popescu uses 'c' and 'cpp' interchangeably, but they are quite different , the way heroin and cocaine differ , though both are simply 'dope' to the uninitiated )
asciilifeform: btw mircea_popescu's list of Open Problemz imho should include (~usable~, unlike solrodar's) trb flow-graph
a111: Logged on 2016-12-22 06:41 mircea_popescu: ok so a) gotta see if ext2 / ext4 CAN EVEN HOLD this many symlinks. like, at all.
mircea_popescu: so make a logger, look at Framedragger phf ben_vulpes 's for inspiration.
Reuel: mircea_popescu, diana_coman, re: your criticisms, I would say that, at the higher level, there is a choice in target audience, people who live democracy as implemented in the west and agree with it will find no trouble wasting time on a game like this, since it mimics familiar mechanisms (even if broken). In this particular channel, probably not enough ppl would be interested.
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: Sure but the GARDEN!!!
asciilifeform: i suppose ben_vulpes catches rats with own hands
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: How do you control vermin population without cats?
