mircea_popescu: we're kinda discovering by doing here. but user-controls-machine is certainly in
there.
mircea_popescu: "house only explodes when you
turn on water faucet" is not an answer here.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the issue is
to come up with a linking scheme we can actually use.

the avionics people seem
to use it, but
they (near as i was able
to learn) dun kill
tasks at all, and regard any detected wedge as a
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-12#1895456 condition
mircea_popescu: aanyways,
thanks
to bvt 's reading material i am well spooked. wtf do we even do, now ?
mircea_popescu: amir
taaki is a dude who was
trying
to pimp his underage sister
ten years ago.
that's all, what
the fuck already.
mircea_popescu: and
the entirely fucktarded morons go about
talking of
this same schmuck in
terms of some heroism or other,
truly
there's nothing more disgusting extant or imaginable
than "people
themselves" with
their "democratically elected options" and whatnot.
a111: Logged on 2012-09-16 01:12 mircea_popescu: Diablo-D3 because by now not
that many people can be bothered
to invite him anywhere.
a111: Logged on 2012-09-16 01:12 Diablo-D3: why
the fuck did rms even show up
a111: Logged on 2012-09-16 01:03 nefario: stallman seemed like he was going
to cry
a111: Logged on 2012-09-16 01:03 mircea_popescu: dude stop faking it, seriously. you,
taaki and his sister showed up. nobody cares, fo reals.
mircea_popescu: what "ask
the fellows
to patch gcc, fix
this one error we have". wtf, how do i ask
this ?!
mircea_popescu: i mean, FB and 00 are equally likely
to be fragment of null pointer.
mircea_popescu: why
the fuck would you use encodings SMALLER
than
the bus width ?!
mircea_popescu: " /*
Take care
to ignore link-once functions
that were removed. In
these cases,
the function address will be NULL, but if
the encoding is smaller
than a pointer a
true NULL may not be representable. Assume 0 in
the representable bits is NULL. */"
mircea_popescu: what, i get
the luxury of a door lock but programming environment must
take all comers ?
mircea_popescu: you can't go around simply solving
the most general case of everything. precisely because such a
thing as closed system exists.
a111: Logged on 2019-02-17 14:49 asciilifeform: whore in some ways has better working condition -- at least she knows will not have
to fuck
tyrannosaur.
mircea_popescu: but i do know what's
typical in at least some cases. which is why my kitchen doesn't have a fast food counter.
mircea_popescu: are you discussing
the specific case of grep
there ? because i do believe it's a sound
tradeoff.
a111: Logged on 2015-04-29 13:25 mircea_popescu: "Put another way, grep sells out its worst case (lots of partial matches)
to make
the best case (few partial matches) go faster. How
treacherous! As
this realization dawns on me,
the room seemed
to grow dim and slip sideways. I look up at
the Ultimate Unix Geek, spinning slowly in his padded chair, and I hear his cackle "old age and
treachery...", and in his flickering CRT
there is a face reflected, but it's my ex girl
mircea_popescu: well, either
that or
they o(N) + n log n for some values of N, n.
☟︎ mircea_popescu:
they
themselves admit 2mn is an upper bound, BY WHICH
TOKEN
they
themselves admit
the complification was spurious.
a111: Logged on 2019-02-17 14:45 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't fucking get it, just HOW FUCKING MANY symbols are
they dealing with here ? by
the sheer desperation screaming out of
the code you'd
think a compile produces at least 5
trillion of
them.
mircea_popescu: ie,
the
thing
they "optimized" into insanity never actually has
to sort more
than mn-level items, ie, no ufcking need
to be made out of boats floating on billiard
table
a111: Logged on 2016-01-21 13:29 asciilifeform: 'if i make it what i
think is
the right size, it crashes!111'
mircea_popescu: "/*
The count field we have in
the main struct object is somewhat limited, but should suffice for virtually all cases. If
the counted value doesn't fit, re-write a zero.
The worst
that happens is
that we re-count next
time -- admittedly non-trivial in
that
this implies some 2M fdes, but at least we function. */"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: diana_coman myeah. i guess it'd
take a patch on gcc, which is
too much hassle atm.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, I'm not aware of anything
that actually does
that reliably
mircea_popescu: diana_coman is
there some way
to count
the linker objects next
time you compile say eulora ?
mircea_popescu: (for completeness, approx - "men are of flesh, women, of steel. it shoul've been
the other way around, but god's hunchback and not above mistakes ; women say
they're flesh, men claim
to be steel -- which is why it's dark at night and life a hotel"
mircea_popescu: btw, you ever encountered "Bărbaţii-s făcuţi din carne, femeile - din oţel. Ar fi
trebuit să fie invers, dar Dumnezeu mai greşeşte şi el...
mircea_popescu: see, engineers are worse
than whores. a whore might pretend like she's not working, but an engineer does inept shit like "/*
This should optimize out, but it is wise
to make sure
this assumption is correct. Should
these have different sizes, we cannot cast between
them and
the overlaying onto ERRATIC will not work. */" so as
to ~pretend~ like he doesn't see WHY exactly he wants
to
take
that code out. seriously, ooga-booga-bu
☟︎ mircea_popescu: so why all
this bs, again ? just so nobody has
to know what
they;'re doing ?
mircea_popescu: but as a factual matter -- object files end up a few mb, and
they're not 100% symbol by mass. you jsut can not have
this many.
mircea_popescu: which it does not, when's
the last
time you had 1mn. wtf is all
this
tim's wondermachines steampunk idiocy for ? can just sort a fucking list
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't fucking get it, just HOW FUCKING MANY symbols are
they dealing with here ? by
the sheer desperation screaming out of
the code you'd
think a compile produces at least 5
trillion of
them.
