mp_en_viaje: http://log.mkj.lt/trilema/20190427/#77 << there's a lot of hopeful thinking in this "change a line, compile the line, move on". i know you said "section" instead of line, but this is a cop-out : you meant the same as line, but didn't want to string-match the string line, so used a new string to mean, on one hand, every good about line or as close as possible, and on the other hand, no ill about line, whatsoever. this isn't very useful : in point of
mp_en_viaje: the old Pantsuit guard's preferred strategy of taxing carbon dioxide output as a means of connecting socialisms across the globe under a singular Pantsuit order. << that's quite the fucking point, stalin's old dream finally came close to realisation, global socialism spearheaded by the only effectual tool it ever found : taxation.
diana_coman: asciilifeform: sorry, I was away; but yes, I'm using /etc/hosts and it's set as 104.131.72.249 in mine
asciilifeform: as of at least 3h ago
diana_coman: asciilifeform: there's a difference between ruled out and default as it were
asciilifeform: serious $mil+ sem, even, not '80s museum piece. could just as easily photo e.g. cr50 as bolix.

mp_en_viaje: if experience's any guide, 99% of linux userland is not useful for any purpose ; of which remaining 1% 99% has to be rewritten anyway as the extant item is so fucking terribly designed and worse implemented as to cost literally as much as it produces ; of the reminder 1% i can at the present time think of very few examples.
a111: Logged on 2019-04-25 21:29 asciilifeform: bvt: as for tcc , i suspect ( but do not know for fact ) that good % of commonplace linux userland is married to gcc nonstandard knobs
mp_en_viaje: granted, my old style library i grew up with was two to three degrees of magnitude larger than 9mb ; but it sure as fuck took a bunch of people way the fuck more than 15 hours to stitch it all together. and there's 60 seconds in a minute, not 10, and there's 60 minutes in an hour, not ten. and so the fuck on.
mp_en_viaje: there's nothing in nature as fucking dumb as people can get once they start trying to not leave any children behind.

spyked: diana_coman, tbh I'm not sure, so I'm posing it as a question. there's also prolly some merit to the idea of each bot having, optionally, a logotron attached to it (since it's already listening...)

asciilifeform: re gcc, the obv. 1st reaction 'so fucking make it all conform to standard' leads nowhere, you cannot write e.g. a device driver in 'standard c' , as it dun give you even such basic thing full bitwise control of struct
asciilifeform: i.e. there is not and cannot be such a thing as a nontrivial c/cpp proggy that 'uses only what is in the standard'

bvt: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-25#1909969 << that clarifies the issue, thanks. i got momentarily confused because imho cuntoo (as gentoo repo snapshot) is too large to pull off http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-24#1909621 - i see no way to replace gcc with tcc and 'rebuild world' without rewriting ebuilds/getting a ton of errors; but should be realistic with something smaller (which i plan to do). ☝︎☝︎
mircea_popescu: wholly mobile mircea_popescu works fine exactly as per design.
a111: Logged on 2019-04-24 16:51 mp_en_viaje: strikes me as born-in-50s sorta guy tho.

BingoBoingo: As far as I can tell Maduro is more entrenched than any of the Middle Eastern strongmen the US targetted.
mp_en_viaje: but anyway, pretty epic case of co-opting usg.blue's "orange revolution" material into court fucktoy / clown. i suppose he got the typically pantsuit fake opposition as cheaply as could be had.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-30 18:04 asciilifeform: ecl is a 'black art' incidentally. for instance, it runs 'backwards' voltagewise, with ground-as-positive, and needs negative supply
mp_en_viaje: pump as you will. as a factual matter, conncted gpu fucks your board like a solid drinking habit fucks your slavegirl.
a111: Logged on 2019-04-24 17:03 mp_en_viaje: the radeon things, yes, which is why they were never nearly as watt-efficient etc.
mp_en_viaje: not quite as similar as how alf-designed memory wouild be ; but more similar than ~anything else.
mp_en_viaje: (note, i'm not even remotely saying 100% hand-made. but they had ~something~, that afaik was never found. and it sure as fuck wasn't just a software layer on whatever off the shelf verilogizer.
asciilifeform: ( their designs only ever exist as rtl, starting from 'pentium pro' )
mp_en_viaje: the radeon things, yes, which is why they were never nearly as watt-efficient etc. ☟︎
asciilifeform: it's a quite large box of fpga, programmed in much same way as asciilifeform prototyped fg.
asciilifeform: most of what's baked at e.g. tmsc, is 'verilog synthed' i.e. essentially same as fpga but w/ masked config bits.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: you'd be surprised at 99% of what gets baked as 'asic'
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, not necessarily a matter in those practical terms. a bike / ride-on lawnmower "suffices" as automobile, but it is still ~ridiculous~, specifically by the very poor fit of design to usage.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-24#1909719 << was thinking, as result of last wk's thrd, 'sane fpga could just as readily replace heathen gpu as cpu' ☝︎

asciilifeform: 1) attend clintonarvard 2) return to orcistan as 'appointee' 3) feather miaminest for 20y 4) decamp, profit!1
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: 'phree gift' from reich invariably comes with 'and we get to appoint a harvard grad as yer minister of health' etc
asciilifeform: aint nosuchthing as free.
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-23#1909566 << who knows, maybe a 15yo now reading grows up to be useful, actual human being, as opposed to pantsuit mouthbreather. ☝︎
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-23#1909552 << this is exactly what i fear we will discover scratching the surface of that magic crate ; as we so regularly have been discovering to date. ☝︎
asciilifeform: as in the old sea story, 'move over, we are a 100,000 tonne battleship' 'no you move' 'no, you, we are battleship' 'we're a lighthouse'
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, or as buffett put it back in the day his brain still worked, "when a manager with a reputation for success attempts to tackle a problem with a reputation for intractability, it is the manager's reputation that ends up tarnished"
mp_en_viaje: and these aren't mere words. it is what i see these people as, from the last poettering to the foremost stallman or linus, including the whole menagerie of "i just wanted to suck dicks" anodyne anons, be they zx wharever or oj whatever or whichever other one.
asciilifeform: that's how (as described upthread) bolix settled the matter, in '83.
mp_en_viaje: thus therefore, i do not see the need to continue supporting c as a mental construct. even having to reimplement "everything" (ie, practically, nothing at all) from outside is preferable to an attempt at continuing c.
mp_en_viaje: if i make someone work with c, it's perceived as a punishment.
asciilifeform: gcc per se has no biz 'continuing indefinitely' ( as mp_en_viaje already noted )
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-23#1909539 << i don' timagine present binutils can continue as such ; ideally should dissolve into actually functional toolset. ☝︎
mp_en_viaje: so, to answer the q : get as much as possible of system working on actual systems lang ; get AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE on tcc.
mp_en_viaje: this "gcc is how you call the universal compiler" is cut of the same cloth as "the united states is the name good people give to truth, beauty, and everything good" -- of no import or interest, past pure comedic "lmao check those country bumpkins out, they really believe god was born in mobile"

mp_en_viaje: as in, "driver who won't crash your car worth 9k drivers who can't crash your car"
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, i dunno, as a factual matter i suspect a wouldn't is worth 9k couldn'ts.
mp_en_viaje: meanwhile ustards fucked the model, but this doesn't mean it went away as a model. quite possible the chinos get it, made themselves plausibly-denied federation.
asciilifeform: iirc there was even a fella who flew, for yrs, not only w/out ticket, but... as pilot. ( said, 'hi i am pilot', no one asked for diploma for decade+ )

asciilifeform: revisiting upstack , the 1801 docs, pretty interesting document from 'techno-political' pov actually -- there does not exist a description like this (operation AND internals) for any reich cpu ever sold. certainly not as a vendor document under 1 cover (not speaking here of ad-hoc reversed tidbits) ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2019-03-17 15:42 mircea_popescu: matches well that group of "transsexuals" who evidently enough are so preoccupied with cunt, they just want one of their own. about as "transsexual" as the compulsive gambler who buys himself a slot machine for his "den" is "transeconomic",
asciilifeform: errything which ~does~ hang off the net there, is same familiar shitware as in reich, i presently know of no evidence of an exception existing.

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: 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.

asciilifeform: trinque: as i understand , orig problem is that the stage3 shipped a gcc6 ?
diana_coman: ugh; I hate rats as it is, no need for bigger ones; that being said, I can already picture the euloran "stan's layr" complete with lumber-electronics a la http://ossasepia.com/2018/06/26/euloras-own-cr50/ and weird rats/trash pandas to fight for resources.
spyked: meanwhile, asciilifeform's lappie arrived last week, I'ma encuntooate it soon. I expect it'll be a bit of a challenge to compile on 1GB of RAM: cuntoo bootstrapping sadly requires building gcc-5, which iirc asks for more than that. either way, I'ma put this on the list as the next item to document.
asciilifeform: ^ claims 1.5mil sold as surplus in usa alone.
