mircea_popescu: it's a shitty sea though. but better than nothing i guess.
douchebag: I'm excited to see the sea for the first time
douchebag: and no, I've never been in any where farther than the surrounding states of Illinois
mircea_popescu: i dunno about specifically polish, but sure, try the pirogi, try the blinyii, they should be capable of doing the north-eastern stuff well enough.
douchebag: I'll be in Poland staring off, any Polish foods you'd suggest me trying?
douchebag: Yeah I can't wait
douchebag: I'm just glad I'll be awake from here in about two months
mircea_popescu: somehow i never cared that much.
a111: Logged on 2017-09-30 20:05 mircea_popescu: the only extra hole in my hide i acquired through ricochet under car, nearly lost a knee.
douchebag: Next week I get shot in the fucking leg
douchebag: Fucked up thing about my situation, a week prior I was at a different gas station and bullets went flying there. Didn't get hit
douchebag: mircea_popescu: I've got bullet fragments lodged in my leg due to a driveby shooting at a gas station
mircea_popescu: douchebag you ever saw tlp btw ? i guess you might enjoy. iirc he also lived somewhere great-lakes-ish. even got held up by a "patient" once
douchebag: Most people I know, especially college students seem to think that they're going to be famous - and if they're not famous they keep reaching towards unachievable goals
douchebag: I don't know a single person who doesn't use drugs here. Whether it be weed or shotting heroin up your arm
douchebag: Well, every job I have ever applied to - I got the job. It doesn't seem to be a lack of jobs, it's a lack of will to work like a normal person
douchebag: I've had many jobs, in fact every job I have ever applied to - I got the job
douchebag: mircea_popescu: I know people around here who would kill for $800
douchebag: I have a house full of crack dealers who just moved in adjacent to me
douchebag: This was a somewhat decent town when I was growing up, there were still the bad sides of town. But now there's homeless people EVERYWHERE, drug addicts, gang members, ect..
douchebag: Just not happy here anymore, haven't been for a long time. It's not a good sight to see everything going to hell and there's nothing I can do about it except leave
douchebag: I have a full time job working remotely, so I'll be just fine over there
douchebag: Going to end up getting citizen and whatnot once I find a place to settle down
douchebag: I'm just glad I'm getting out of this shithole very soon
douchebag: mircea_popescu: I live in South Chicagoland, so that sort of thing is pretty "normal" here
douchebag: I'm glad I'm getting out of this shithole city very soon here
douchebag: so I wasn't there to explain what the hell to do
douchebag: i got a few girls who wanna come in here for the offer, but I was sleeping most of the day
douchebag: mircea_popescu: not sure what happened to her, i could send her a msg on discord
mircea_popescu: considering also "Simply, I'd say that porting is impossible. As already mentioned, it uses a MMU, for both paging (not to disk yet) and segmentation. It's the segmentation that makes it REALLY 386 dependent (every task has a 64Mb segment for code & data - max 64 tasks in 4Gb. Anybody who needs more than 64Mb/task - tough cookies)." i'd say it actually broadly lives up to the original design -- linux is a fine non-professiona
mircea_popescu: http://links.net/daze/17/01/26-i-was-searching-the-web-for-information-on-lipstick-and-saw-your-excellent-post-catdick.html << aaand here's justin hall being a total n00b.
a111: Logged on 2018-03-31 16:40 mircea_popescu: i would really like a list of "all personal blogs older than a decade" right about now.
mircea_popescu: i guess.
mircea_popescu: if they all lived in palaces it'd be one thing, but i've seen the louse traps.
BingoBoingo: ^ I saw this http://trilema.com/2015/the-best-biggest-bitcoin-derps-on-welfare-or-the-misadventures-of-young-josh-garza-jonah-dorman-eric-capuano-and-brian-klein/ earlier and figured it was time for another dispatch
BingoBoingo: I have to wonder... Did Uber make it?
phf: mircea_popescu: a111 doesn't read anything from bots, i can disable it but that will obviously create a mutually recursive loop of flood
mircea_popescu: oh, i guess not. a111 dun read its own lines sometimes does it ?
phf: ben_vulpes: mimisbrunnr perhaps needs a list of fellow bots, so that it ignores links from bot quotes. i remember we had conversations about how to handle it long time ago, but i don't remember what the resolution was. a111 maintains a list of all bots, which is just manually updated
phf: i saw it on a colleagues table, started reading it, and it looks sensible and educational. first time i borrow a book from a coworker :o
mircea_popescu: "Four years ago this month, I found out that Jane Pratt — the editor that had made me want to be an editor since I was 12 years old — had chosen me to be the beauty director of her new xoJane beauty spinoff, xoVain. OK, so I was actually her second choice — her first had fallen through — but that was OK. I had previously not even pitched to xoJane because I was so intimidated and sure I'd be rejected, so getting hired ☟︎
mircea_popescu: (for the young reader : xojane was some bullshit wanna-be "platform" for imaginary "cimmunities" that got bought by the suckers (time warner) in 2015 and frozen in 2016. because myspace wasn';t enough or something. and huffington post, well, need i even point out, it was exactly the same thing, ran by a nigger somewhat more dextrous still. adriana made out ok from the swindle.)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah, i'm not objecting to the thing itself, just mostly thinking out loud.
mircea_popescu: in vaguely related news, " <p>Personally, I love personal blogs. I&#8217;m a sucker for HuffingtonPost, xoJane, and all those other sites with tons of juicy and interesting content.</p>" sez idiot giving advice on how to be blogful ; his page has js-disabled copy-pasting. which evidently works.
mircea_popescu: whereas i find VEHEHERY objectionable the usual "oh, what kangaroo court said is what i ~really~ am, that defines me". and so following.
mircea_popescu: "maybe i don't have much to say ; and maybe what i have to say isn't even that interesting ; but at least i give it my best shot, and i am aware there's nothing else that's me."
mircea_popescu: so if he doesn't care, why would i ?
asciilifeform: some folx have a strange attitude to own writing. i can even better understand the folx who burn their symphonies; but the indifferent -- i have nfi what broke in their heads.
mircea_popescu: (anyway, remind me of the ocarine dood once i signal i'm done reading mazepath. which may take the year or something)
mircea_popescu: in the buldozing i mean
asciilifeform: but if looking for continuous ones -- i've nuffin
mircea_popescu: all fine and good, except the penultimate article is "Happy (belated) 2018! Posted by Kevin on January 6, 2018 So, I kind of missed my annual/placeholder Happy New Year post this time around…"
mircea_popescu: i would really like a list of "all personal blogs older than a decade" right about now. ☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: i ain't fucking quitting.
asciilifeform: some time around beginning of bush-I reign
mircea_popescu: also 2018 is the year trilema actually took over my leisure reading needs. by now it's so old i've forgotten a large enough proportion of it the odds of hitting an interesting article loading my own blog actually exceed the odds of hitting something interesting by picking up a torrent, or opening the internets.
a111: Logged on 2018-03-30 05:21 douchebag: mircea_popescu: I have a girl but she is wondering if she's allowed to wear sunglasses
a111: Logged on 2018-03-31 04:48 mod6: oh btw, the fg-genesis.vpatch and corresponding sig are not available via the archive.is link (originating from loper-os.org) ; You may want to post these some where accessable. I can throw them onto mod6.net if you like.
a111: Logged on 2018-03-21 14:58 a111: Logged on 2016-02-21 02:14 mircea_popescu: (and for the record i will point out that tlp is anglotard enough to miss most of the substance. there's perfecty good reason everyone painted the same god damned vase with two apples next to it, and this has little do to with "you're not boring son ok" and a lot of fucking things to do with ... damn, where's that thread about ther ancient battlefield ?
mod6: oh btw, the fg-genesis.vpatch and corresponding sig are not available via the archive.is link (originating from loper-os.org) ; You may want to post these some where accessable. I can throw them onto mod6.net if you like. ☟︎
asciilifeform: prolly i oughta preemptively answer the q of 'where are the hashes'. answ: hashing belongs in vtron, and would be of entire shebang produced by ^above .
asciilifeform: anyways i've cluttered the l0gz enuff, that's all there is to this item currently.
asciilifeform: quite possibly only trinque will find this tool interesting : it implements , i think, his favoured variant .
mod6: hey neat, i'll give this a closer look here tonight.
asciilifeform: ^ and yes i classically-v-genesised it, given as there is not yet a new-v
hanbot: i think that's a head rampant.
phf: well, i'm now convinced that manifest is an elegant, minimally invasive solution. i'll try it in a regrind. ☟︎
asciilifeform: if the 'must artifically touch files to maintain clean-looking flow tree' is to be considered a problem ( and i do see this pov ) then 'only 1 file ever gets diffed, and it contains metacommands to create actually separate unix files out of its sections' is in fact 1 possible solution. and creates the 'every hash stands for whole project's state' thing.
mod6: Maybe I'm a bit biased. heheh. there are still problems to tackle tho - and it's difficult to do so without adding further complexity.
mod6: Eitherway, I've become to like how we have it now.
mod6: alright, i'll have to take your word for it ; im imagining some huge diffs.
asciilifeform: iirc i suggested this explicitly at one point, http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-14#1751755 ☝︎
phf: this is so trivial, and also inconsequential that i apologize for burning s/r on it
phf: i.e. trb.vpatch -> trb.web -> foo.c, bar.c, qux.c
mod6: or am i still missing this?
asciilifeform: phf: i actually tried this, into a drawer, but gave up -- ugly and inbandistic
mod6: OH. i see what you're saying. so in stead of a & b per file, you're saying a & b for ~entire~ vpatch
mircea_popescu: yeah but i suspect that's a large part of why it went nowhere.
phf: yo, it's not a real solution, the only reason i was thinking about is because that's how knuth's literate programming is done. i mean the entirety of code is one file, you use project specific tooling to extract it.
mircea_popescu: phf i don't get it, why would we adapt the way we do things to what'd be convenient for the machines ?
asciilifeform: i did not say wholly automatic . simply 'tool' .
phf: problem can also be solved with having entire project in one file, or trinque's approach os tracking hash chains for the entire directory (i.e. treating the whole press as a single file)
asciilifeform: i no longer try to actively persuade folx 'it oughta be Like So!' , at this point it is up to phf , mircea_popescu , diana_coman , et al, folx who very actively work on multi-author projects , to determine a Troo Vtron
asciilifeform: phf: which is why i wrote the classical vtron the way i did -- wanted max flexibility of form. and yes this has cost.
asciilifeform: when i was actively trbing, i handled 'want p1 + p2 + ... p_n ' by hand-copy and producing p_n+1
phf: asciilifeform: i didn't say barf, but if you were to remove, say, makefiles, press to malleus_mikehearnificarum, you lose mod6_der_high_low_s
asciilifeform: because i know of none
mircea_popescu: there's no dispute that understanding of v has evolved ; but i don't happen to see the uncertainity.
phf: mircea_popescu: i don't agree that the "in the sense" is correct. trb patchset relied on pressing the lateral trees behavior up until recent nailing down of graph, which was a result of elaboration from clearer understanding. i think the understanding of v has evolved, and things of which there was much uncertainty and hand waving in the past are now much more obvious. i don't think it's the case that "the behavior was always that way" in an accidental
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-03-30 22:15 phf: trinque: i'm describing how things are right now, how things were, and what informs my and mod6 opinions on the subject. uncertainty about past behaviors in my opinion tends to influence uncertainty about future solutions
mircea_popescu: http://logs.bvulpes.com/trilema?d=2018-3-30#322858 << only in the sense of "original v promised the letter a will only be used 8805 times in code, because that;s how many times it happened to use it and i choose to take this strange view"
phf: if we're trying to nail down antecedents, why not put parent hash into vpatch prelude. i.e. "this vpatch can only happen after a vpatch with the given hash has been applied"
trinque: using it as an exercise to sign all the patches I haven't, too.
trinque: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/8d93M/?raw=true << here's another HISTORY file, incomplete, that I've been putting together.
phf: i suspect something like ebuild situation requires a non-trivial vpatch management: each port is its own genesis tree and portage system keeps track of head's. this way extending port's tree allows ongoing development, but trinque's role is to update portage's pointers periodically. this way a press from head must ignore lateral leaves, etc.
asciilifeform: i will also add, classic vpatches were verifiable with simple gnu tools 'by hand', and even creatable 'by hand' similarly. complex hash mechanism, not so much, and imho this is a downer
mircea_popescu: i expanded on that to allow comments in the manifest, in the spirit of literate (
mircea_popescu: was trinque's proposal, i just formalized it.
trinque: k, I understand.
trinque: I don't have a pet proposal to solve it, but it's definitely never getting solved without more eyes on that the problem exists
