asciilifeform: naa i'ma do what mircea_popescu said, leaving it alone for nao
mod6: anyway, thing i was talking about before had: /^(--- | \+\+
asciilifeform: *if i turn
mircea_popescu: i can discuss bit order irrespective of the fact that systems implement byte addressing. i must.
mircea_popescu: i don't agree that implementation limits my power of representation.
phf: mircea_popescu: i don't think it makes sense to talk about bit order on any of the architectures that we're discussing, since you can only address by bytes. big endian systems could have little endian bytes and you would never know, likewise little endian systems could have big endian bytes and you would never know. logically though there's no reason you can't view big endian to be a bit reverse of little endian
mircea_popescu: i can't conceive who the fuck else was ever equipped to touch this shit.
phf: right, i'm more saying that neither have merit, and the only reason there's a narrative is because you have to have one or the other, and by nature of having both in theory you have both in practice
asciilifeform: i also agree with mircea_popescu in re ~new~ cpu design having no business being byte-addressing and having a detectable endianism orientation AT ALL.
phf: i find all arguments pro or cons unconvincing, as encoded by elders i nthe very name, which is a reference to gulliver's travels
phf: so while i think lack of bigendian will create immediate problems for people (e.g. no vdiff/vpatch on g5 machines for trinque, untill he patches it himself), i don't think it's not historically supported
mircea_popescu: obviously one could patch the eucrypt to work on his box if for some reason he wants to (though i can't imagine who'd be running eulora client of ppc machine, but anyways).
phf: he's saying he can't fix it with any of the published vdiff's since i haven't published anything yet
mircea_popescu: i didn't know phf published anyuthing yet ?
asciilifeform: and worse, i can't even readily think of a simple pill against this inbandism.
mircea_popescu: phf i am aware. do you actually want to make this an objection ?
asciilifeform: though to be fair i have not tested sparc , so possibly there is a third...
mircea_popescu: yeah i found that too, but yes, this is a reference not the thing
mircea_popescu: i recall it as a conversation between us, you were saying something and that was my retort.
mircea_popescu: me too, buyt apparently neither apples nor tomatoes not dioxin were mentioned, though i vaguely recall all three
asciilifeform: i definitely recall this
mircea_popescu: that we were discussing current costs of items, and i said for today's crate of tomato to be compared to past's crate of tomato, it has to be biologically identical,
mircea_popescu: i expect it's getting put in firsts.
mircea_popescu: and i dislike it.
mircea_popescu: i dislike supporting idiocy.
asciilifeform: ( i dislike, on aesthetic grounds, but that's possibly just me )
a111: Logged on 2017-10-11 20:43 BHopkins: I think I did it right: 12taDFRdimNTHx1xoUkUZWj3nrE4js6LM6
mircea_popescu: i pay teh airfare you pay the steaks&tampons, you got yourself a[nother] vacation eh.
asciilifeform: from BingoBoingo's photos i picture a slightly shabbier buenos aires . but yes, i already have 3 crates that want to go
BingoBoingo: Everyone I have talked to here is a fan of the suitcase method. "when we fly to Miami everyone comes out of the woodwork with a shopping list"
a111: Logged on 2018-01-28 00:34 mircea_popescu: if i want 5 boxes, what do i do now ?
asciilifeform: i suspect that the suitcase method only beats the 22% vig if 2-3 machines at a time are moved
mircea_popescu: this is going to be a standard retort now, "shut up so-and-so, i bet you don't even understand hair theory!"
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in other chicks can code moments, "I earned my degree and license in cosmetology and had a horrible career as a hair dresser that I ended in 2015 due to social anxiety. I still love hair theory, and I even really enjoy working on people with whom I share a close relationship, but now I'm in pursuit of a new path."
mircea_popescu: in other news, i'm doing spencer and it's coming along beautifully!
mircea_popescu: i couldn't have put it better myself.
mircea_popescu: but i can't go that way after having specifically organized a painstaking and complex process to rule out teh comcasts.
trinque: at question wasn't the amount of money, but that two different answers came out of a vendor. I have dealt with many, many a credit card processor.
trinque: I can give the benefit of the doubt that DC will see it that way, sane foot to start upon.
mircea_popescu: trinque i expect you know exactly how it goes, a couple hundy extra puts you way at the top of ~the excel spreadsheet~. which is worth it from a service pov. i think you follow the strategix involved.
mircea_popescu: i think with some minimal tweaks that shop could go on the f1 trackside.
mircea_popescu: i've... not even ever said that before.
mircea_popescu: they talked so fucking fast I HAD TO TELL THEM TO SLOW DOWN FOR ME! I!!!
trinque: stated as it is, I get it
asciilifeform: where mircea_popescu gave a picture, 'i'ma buy a 6th item in the place that has the correct 1-5 already, and even for moar dough'
mircea_popescu: what i don't want is to leak 10x the sum to unrelated third party scammer-whores, ie whores that don't even strip.
mircea_popescu: i don't because i want them to have a vested interest in sucking my cock.
trinque haggles like an indian, but I see it
mircea_popescu: trinque i deliberately didn't want to hussle on the price ; i don't want THOSE $200. but it was understood.
asciilifeform: and why not go. i'd actually much like to bring the three s.nsa boxen over with own hands
trinque: well for starters, when I get a quote out of folks for something that's 200 cheaper than another quote, oughta be understood that I'm helping the damned negotiation. that was annoying.
asciilifeform: i dun see any reason for'em not to travel already installed inside boxen
mod6: Just was thinking I'd be/foundation would probably be happy to purchase 4 from whatever gets shipped down to bb.
asciilifeform: mod6: i dunget it then, what does your 'in' consist of
mod6: i'd be fine with the ones that are alreday down there though.
mod6: lol, i didn't mean mine no. but i guess i could do that.
mircea_popescu: mod6 i think ima just get s.nsa to make bbisp an offer buy some to have on hand.
mod6: I wanna send like 4 down there.
mod6: Can I get in on that fg order?
mircea_popescu: i am exaggerating for to make the point.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform which is what i'm saying!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i recall getting that ?
mircea_popescu: trinque i have been pushing him to produce me a list of machiens that can be bought for what, three weeks now ? six ?
trinque: I'm definitely not flying a box to bbisp
mircea_popescu: if i want 5 boxes, what do i do now ? ☟︎☟︎
trinque: idea of this is nonsense. why don't I contract with latechco directly for a 1U if I have to do that
asciilifeform: maybe i'm thick, but , let's say mircea_popescu wants a server magicked into existence. would he want to pay the cost of a asciilifeform-carries-in-suitcase-in-airplane-to-BingoBoingoistan in the cost of said box ?
mircea_popescu: and in case it's not obvious: there's a MAJOR opportunity here for someone wanting to deliver a service for pay. why is nobody advertising "i will produce boxes and ship them to bb" ? have "the boundless blablas" buffett assigned to america died QUITE that dead ?
BingoBoingo: I haven't recieved it. I'm going to poke them again now.
BingoBoingo: Nah I mean with the butterflies there I refrained from gassing the stinkbugs. They crawled from the milkweed to the tomato cages to transform.
BingoBoingo: All I know is they like to park their asses on bare galvanized with for their personal transformations. For two weeks the tomatoes suffered mucho de stinkbugs.
mircea_popescu: i bet there's something you can measure to time them
asciilifeform: i recall the wing-drying specifically.
mircea_popescu: i still have nfi how they do those. is it what, copper ?
mircea_popescu: i suspect this is slightyl different, iirc northerner monarch chrisalis looks more like a turd
mircea_popescu: i r suspek. but, hey, why not.
emmylark: Nothing sir. I just want some numbers.
emmylark: May I please have some more numbers? Like the ones for my tits?
mircea_popescu: i give numbers out, slut.
emmylark: So those numbers, for my tits? May I have some more of them? One from anyone willing to entertain me?
emmylark: I was wondering if I might make a request?
a111: Logged on 2018-01-27 22:54 asciilifeform: ( sometimes i wish that i could convince people to ~actually do this~, lol )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it would, i already established it in my torture room

mod6: I gotta get this mission critical stuff with vtron out of the way. Then should be undertaking myself.
mod6: So I'm gonna circle back around, do it all; start to finish.
mod6: lol, i've not "formally" started it. I have however, looked through most of 1, 2, 3, and 4. Did the homework for ffa_calc. But again, not enough to say "I've done it. Lemme sign."
mod6: asciilifeform: ch9, cool! I'm pretty excited to dive in.
asciilifeform: this is pretty great, mod6 , i'ma test it this wk
a111: Logged on 2018-01-27 17:29 spyked: !~later tell mircea_popescu http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-26#1776901 <-- neato! ftr, it seems that pingback responses vary a lot across web server configs, wp versions etc. some blogs. for example wordpress.com-hosted blogs give undocumented (or sometimes empty) responses, probably as an anti-spam measure. (after filtering out non-pingbackabble sites, I sent all pingbacks manually, just to look at responses)
mod6: Lords and Ladies of The Most Serene Republic, I present to you a pre-patched *EXPERIMENTAL* version of my vtron (99993), along with a patch to show changes from V (99994): http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2018-January/000287.html
phf: what i meant to say was read speed issue, but not seek time issue, but i'm thinking that seek time ~might~ improve because of parallelizable seeking
asciilifeform: i had the above stats patch on the conveyor, but abandoned when saw that there is no mystery anymoar for it to resolve..
asciilifeform: though i will point out, for completeness, that i saw NO substantial 'behinditude' on zoolag since feeding it the pill against shitoshi's sync retardation.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-27 20:02 diana_coman: re nodes: mine is still there but still not at the top; I even pressed and ran asciilifeform's patch but it's unclear to me if it helped tbh; I admit I did not have much time to really dig deeper there exactly

a111: Logged on 2018-01-25 19:29 asciilifeform: btw i'll mention again a simple method to speed up sync (to a point) 1,000x or moar -- signed hashes ( a la the programmable checkpoint thread from 2yrs ago )
diana_coman: spyked, thanks; looks familiar even so one of these days I'll have to get around to look at it and shoot it in the head
spyked: diana_coman: here's the output: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/Nlokl/?raw=true and the script I used http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/z0nep/?raw=true it would seem ngnix expects user agents to meet a particular spec (that I haven't figured out exactly) before delivering pages
