bvt: the larger fpga - seems to be it https://symbiflow.github.io/prjtrellis-db/ ? last time i checked it was work in progress
asciilifeform: ( ~why~ went nowhere -- i do not presently know; it may be simply from lack of time , ~or~ could easily be because he does not in fact have the relevant gate-delay numbers . the published docs suggest the latter as possibility )
asciilifeform: he had plan to dig into the larger fpga from same vendor, and to improve the synth engine, but apparently went nowhere.
asciilifeform: bvt: i'm satisfied that wolf properly described the low-level fabric of the 8k model. but the synthesis engine is pretty barbaric.
bvt: asciilifeform: isn't ice40 a done thing, i.e. is there anything else to add to it?
asciilifeform suspects that this would require finding some other planet to sell'em on..
asciilifeform: evidently, the hero who knows how to turn work on sane kompyooting irons/softs into a self-sustaining economic item, is not yet born.
a111: Logged on 2015-03-24 18:38 ascii_field: mats: the way the story normally ends is that the reversed fpga becomes quasi-usable nearly the same time it goes out of print and replaced with incompatible version...
asciilifeform: so that story seems to be headed to the usual finale for such. ☝︎
asciilifeform: aand last update on the ice40 page seems to be 30 jan '18. so nuffin happened there since i 1st found it. ( there was, at one point, e.g. talk of support for the larger lattice co. chips )
asciilifeform: re wolf, i admit to being surprised that he found any kinda moneys at all
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in february, chinese 'gowin semiconductor co' cloned ice40. but if anyone thought this means 'open spec', guess again, only worx with their 'YunYuan' closed shitware toolchain. ☟︎
asciilifeform: from, near as i can tell, starvation.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-31 23:18 asciilifeform: meanwhile, in ic-pr0n, http://www.clifford.at/icestorm/bitdocs-8k << spiffy example of nonpdfized ( per earlier mircea_popescu thread ) hierarchical docs
asciilifeform: meanwhile, apparently (last yr) in heathendom, https://archive.is/UVbUE << c. wolf , author of the ice40 open fpga toolchain , apparently barfed and 'went naggum' ☝︎☟︎
BingoBoingo: In other conspiracies former President of Peru allegedly evacuated his own skull case with lead when the police showed up to to gulag him.
asciilifeform: currently looks like bvt is the champ ffa eater.
asciilifeform: unrelatedly : phf , iirc you signed a coupla ch of ffa prior to the keccak regrind. didja ever sign the reground chs ? ☟︎
asciilifeform: ... which makes the hdd-like approach described in earlier thread even moar appealing -- dun have to laser'em out, can simply map the dead blocks, and tell autorouter not to use'em ☝︎
asciilifeform: i.e. the # of ~working~ transistors you can reliably fit on 1 die, flattened out some time even before what is ordinary thought of as 'death of moore's law'
a111: Logged on 2019-04-10 17:24 asciilifeform: ( i suspect mp_en_viaje knew this already, but even intel et al, 'cheat', when you buy a pentium-whatever with 'n cores', it really has 24 or whatnot, and only n working units , the others lasered out )
a111: Logged on 2019-04-15 19:41 asciilifeform: also ate buncha vlsi likbez in weekend, but early to write re subj yet.
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in re http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-15#1908560 lulz : didjaknow, in e.g. <= 250nm process, concept of 'yield' is invariably in the direction of http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-10#1907933 , rather than ye olde 'put the working units in crate A , the dead -- in the skip' ☝︎☝︎
asciilifeform: iirc ben_vulpes had the multichannel xref thing
asciilifeform: phf: ty
phf: hmm, perhaps it can read links and do xref across several channels, only reason i can think of to make it multichannel capable.
phf: also re pizarro, i can, but it'll take me a bit of time, it doesn't have multi channel capability, but then i'm also not sure if i want to make it explicitly multi channel. i might just spin up a second instance instead
lobbesbot: phf: Sent 4 minutes ago: <asciilifeform> can pleez have the old 'auto new tab' log link behaviour back ?
lobbesbot: phf: Sent 21 hours and 27 minutes ago: <asciilifeform> wouldja be willing to stand up a logger instance for #pizarro ? appears that ben_vulpes and his bot, may have been lost at sea or whoknows
phf: asciilifeform: yes, fixed, ty
lobbesbot: asciilifeform: The operation succeeded.
asciilifeform: !Q later tell phf can pleez have the old 'auto new tab' log link behaviour back ?
feedbot: http://trilema.com/2019/der-fantastische-harem/ << Trilema -- Der fantastische Harem.
mp_en_viaje: deedbot could see if any of the other bots respond.
mp_en_viaje: trinque, i suppose one possible approach, in desperation of anythingelse, would be the brit's "nuclear security" protocol of checking for bbc keks.
trinque: at the very least, to come up with a model for wtf occurs.
trinque: much as I'd like to put all the blame on fleanode, I'd like it if the bot handled this stuck state a bit better. it's still on my todo list to address.
mod6: 'tis all I've got for the moment. Will holler if I've got any Q's or comments. o7
mod6: Did build keccak vtools on cuntoo, whole ffa tree verifies there. pressed just through chapter 1, did a gprbuild on that first chapter, no errors, works great.
asciilifeform: ty for update, mod6 . re ffa -- dun hesitate to ask q if you found anyffin to be unclear
mod6: asciilifeform: You may be correct. trinque and I were discussing it, there may have been others. Just wanted the republic to know that I didn't vaporize, nor forget.
mod6: This month has been insane-level busy for me, but I'll try to get my head around it by month-end so I can speak to the topic intelligently.
asciilifeform: neato mod6 . possibly i misaddressed the q , and it was someone else who was working on this, i gotta look again in the log
mod6: There are probably others in the Republic more versed in these things, but I'll still try to learn more about it this month regardless.
mod6: I did a very shallow dive on what "bridging" is about, conceptually about a week ago. Since I'm way out of my depth on this one, I haven't reached out to anyone on Undernet yet, just because when I do, I would like to have some idea of what I'm talking about.
mod6: I did recently stand up an ircd-ratbox (last month), but I was not thinking about it with any sense.
mod6: This was like, twenty years ago or some such thing.
mod6: Read through and digested the first chapter of ffa, just need to add my seal to your blog when I have a spare few minutes. Regarding the irc stuffs, I've one time, stood up a ircd-hybrid and connected it to a friends of the same as a "peer".
a111: Logged on 2019-04-16 15:40 asciilifeform wonders re status of the 'escape from fleanode' proj..
mod6: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-16#1908650 << Hi there! A brief synopsis of what I've been working on with my limited time over the last couple of weeks here; Read-up about ave1's GNAT, built it, deployed to cuntoo successfully, a blog post is forthcoming as a bit of a summary of what I did there. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: I've never been asked for ID at a Cambio to change currency either direction
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: oddly enuff in ro 100% asked for passport ( whether this is always, or simply cuz asciilifeform looked like rube -- nfi )
feedbot: http://trilema.com/2019/budapest-and-such/ << Trilema -- Budapest and such
mp_en_viaje: people could give less of a shit about the retarded states of america and its pompous pretense, somehow, maybe. not sure how exactly.
mp_en_viaje: btw, in other mp disposes, the world executes : been changing dough all over without any id. germany usd to eur ("do you need id ?" "nah" "can you do 5k ?" "if that's what you want..."), hungary eur to huf, you name it.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: these iirc tend to be dug along side railroad right-of-way. in europistan, a++. in ameristan, on other hand..
mp_en_viaje: legend has it they're as thick as a subway tunnel
mp_en_viaje: pretty much all of yurp. the german rings
asciilifeform: ^ was the advertised rate on the billboards in timis iirc
BingoBoingo: That particular example hangs their fiber on the light poles
BingoBoingo: There's outposts in the interior with fiber, but the demographics gotta be right http://www.highlandcommunicationservices.com/HCSResInt.php
asciilifeform: none of the stated excuses really pass laugh test, either ( 'ohnoez, expensive to rip up asphalt' -- but they do it all year long, for 0 actual reason, largely to keep up 'road work doubles traffic fines' thing they have going in many states )
asciilifeform: if you want fiber, it's 100+/mo for ~minimal~ bw , and then only in (small %) of the habitable coasts
BingoBoingo: Maybe Notre Dame didn't want to be what France became anymore and went the "an hero" route
BingoBoingo: Well, don't think of it as any France you've read about. Think about it as a US college campus post 2015
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: The old man clearly was predatory to the vulnerable young man... Femstate means if a young buck has any color on him his agency is female.
BingoBoingo: No appreciable hydrocarbons in the ground so they started planting Eucalyptus in 1989. For the estufas de leña though paper mills followed the forresting
BingoBoingo in a country where large forests are claimed to be a recent (late 80's) invention.
asciilifeform: ( recall the story where jp in '90s bought entire steamer of old sovok bottle crates. for the cedar )
mp_en_viaje: large part of why move to ironclads. "dood... cedar's gone"
a111: Logged on 2019-04-15 22:10 asciilifeform: bvt: i dun expect any oak. for 1 thing, most of the old-growth wood of the kind which built the great cathedrals, sailing ships, etc. is gone.
mp_en_viaje: all these annoying b cup euro tits, too. 24yo pubescentitis
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, i fear it's the genes.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, haven't been here in almost 20 years ; i dun recall this problem, but then again....
mp_en_viaje: what's the point of being a 5"9 female if you're gonna carry less ass than me ?!
mp_en_viaje: other than this, the chicks are often even tall, and commonly cute -- except if you beheaded a hundred or two alongside another hundred or two 13 yo boys and sewed the heads back on randomly you could scarcely tell the difference.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: is this 1st time you went there ? or did they fughet how to spatian since n-1 ?
mp_en_viaje: but anyway, yes, somehow spatial navigation schelling points common to all other humans ain;t obvious to hungarians.
mp_en_viaje: when you order all the palinka in the menu
mp_en_viaje: anyway, also had a palinkaoff, ima post pictures i think.
mp_en_viaje: not THAT common.
asciilifeform: for some reason i thought this was common in old europistan
mp_en_viaje: as i write this, i'm seated in a non-square room.
mp_en_viaje: something like two dozen separate blarings, i mean gimme a fucking break, there can't be that many emergencies
asciilifeform: 'some may have escaped from the siren's song, but from their silence -- no one'(tm)(r) lol
BingoBoingo: I don't think I here sirens here more than weekly or biweekly
mp_en_viaje: (unsurprising to anyone with me, the siren shut up instantly. i can turn off sirens by yelling!)
mp_en_viaje: and then the sirens all the time. at some point i was like "turn that shit OFF!!!"
asciilifeform: so far the only folx i met who ~can~ park properly, are (oddly enuff) the americans
mp_en_viaje: saw three separate road incidents avoided by the grace of the wounds of saint francis only ; while watching hanbot and 15 our of 18 possible people get into each other's way and so on.
mp_en_viaje: can't park, can't drive, can't fucking walk, all sorrts of common sense items ("no, do NOt drive right into a main lane from the side street to the point of near collision after which suddenly and unexpectedly back away at speed towards a crosswalk") do not come naturally to them.
BingoBoingo: As evidenced by the javascript brain cancer
asciilifeform: asciilifeform does not know hungarian, but was under impression that it was a full-featured lang with 20-sumthing cases etc
mp_en_viaje: they are geometrically challenged in a manner quite reminiscent of their sad lang. i am starting to suspect the distance between euclidean geometry and what's going on in hungarian skull is commensurate with distance between human lang and their finougric atrocity.
asciilifeform: why's this ?
mp_en_viaje: hungarians are fucking insufferable, for the most part.
asciilifeform waves to mp_en_viaje
a111: Logged on 2019-03-26 20:07 mircea_popescu: bvt, so put the matter to him plainly, "look, the republic is considering this, either come over and make your case or what d oyou want to do" ?
a111: Logged on 2019-04-15 21:30 bvt: the only smaller item in my pipeline is unrolling comba for ch10 multiplication; and i'd like to give a shot a 'kill /dev/random and /dev/urandom' experiment, replacing them with buffers than can be directly fed from userspace, but this - even later.
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-15#1908619 << sorry about the whole http://btcbase.org/log/2019-03-26#1904872 not working out, btw. eminently not your fault. ☝︎☝︎
