asciilifeform: nao i did not walk in and see it used. but would be surprised to learn that it wasn't, the temptation is irresistible , on acct of sheer heft of the risk in the biz ☝︎
BingoBoingo: The old Pantsuitist Party the Colorados have a nearly 90 year old former President running even in their polls with some young derp. Colorados don't ever break 15% in intention to vote. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: Hence the "prove you didn't steal the junk ambulance" dance
BingoBoingo: And the immune system kicks in because Uruguayo Pantsuits don't want to be replaced by US Pantsuits
BingoBoingo: In efforts to stay poor, won't take a free ambulance: https://www.elobservador.com.uy/nota/la-burocracia-de-asse-freno-la-donacion-de-una-ambulancia-para-minas-2019417152938
mp_en_viaje: at least now they have plain and self-obvious example of what ~should~ do with their life ; so it can't be said you lived in vain.
a111: Logged on 2019-04-23 23:06 asciilifeform would luvvv to read 'ffa-style' incarnation of such a work, where the chip is 'built up' from empty space in ~hour-long chunks. but prolly this won't exist until asciilifeform writes 1..

a111: Logged on 2019-01-03 19:24 stratum: If individuals want to communicate using heavily encrypted sneakernet to avoid NSA goons, that is certainly okay by me. But I don't see that happening for the billions any time soon.
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: would've stayed settled, too, if they hadn't wrapped themselves around telephone pole.
mp_en_viaje: this needn't continue indefinitely, tho.
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-23#1909529 << the idea isn't to get tcc to compile ada. the idea is to destroy gcc -- cut the "useful compilation half" into an ada compiler ; cut the shitlands compilation half into a small weight something else. there is no republican future for gcc as a gcc in the foss / linus-stallman sense of the term. ☝︎☟︎
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-23#1909527 << drop gcc entirely ; drop all c code entirely ; rely on tcc as a scripting language to turn whatever snippets of c into object code that we haven't yet thrown away ; and for quick prototyping, where one's stuck getting a mass of 1mn shitlocs interop with 10k loc's worth of a whole universe ☝︎☟︎
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.
mp_en_viaje: but i don't believe in not paying honest merchant. i do believe in not indulging stupid woman's pretense to relevancy and "rule making".
mp_en_viaje: "like fucking hell you can't ; drive". so she does cuz more affraid of dood in car than vague theoretical doods at us border. who come swarming in, "why is car driving TOWARDS us side on exit". and so i give them the shit, whatever it was
mp_en_viaje: she's like "you can't go back that way".
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: a 'couldn't' is worth 9000 'wouldn'ts' eh
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-23#1909492 << right, becayse of couldn't, not because of wouldn't. ☝︎
asciilifeform would luvvv to read 'ffa-style' incarnation of such a work, where the chip is 'built up' from empty space in ~hour-long chunks. but prolly this won't exist until asciilifeform writes 1.. ☟︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-23#1909530 << iirc the orig problem was that the published musl gentoo starter culture trinque began working from, was built on gcc6 , which won't build 4.x (and therefore full replication involves stepping 6 -> 5 -> 4.9 ) ☝︎
bvt: also, you can't build ave1gnat from scratch on fresh adaless system because of http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-23#1909529 - so initial gnat binary will be required (ebuilds just download binary gnat for that). ☝︎
bvt: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-22#1909279 << you can't use adacore's gnat to bootstrap ave1gnat on musltronic systems, but http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-15#1813753 works for that purpose; ☝︎☝︎
a111: Logged on 2019-03-14 15:43 mircea_popescu: anyway, kinda why the insistence on "republic is political -- you can't just do tech thing" etc. and why dual court-and-manor function of lord. and so on.
BingoBoingo: The lack of a strategy doesn't keep magic casino place on the coast with odd political status from happening.
asciilifeform: their last fuhrer who wasn't feathering an overseas nest was andropov.
trinque: I take it snowden wasn't the only guy popping around on internal NSA machines and they saw him coming
a111: Logged on 2019-04-22 17:09 PeterL: I run about 10 loads of wash a week, I don't want something that only handles one T-shirt at a time
a111: Logged on 2019-04-22 17:06 PeterL: you don't just have to get the vacuum, you also have to vaporize the water
a111: Logged on 2019-04-22 17:02 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: here's an old asciilifeform crackpottery : why exactly can't one buy clothes dryer that runs on vacuum pump, instead of heater.
mp_en_viaje: of course, the problem with "terrible gun" is that 99.9x% of users are such fucking shit, the gun's shortcomings don't even show in the end product.
a111: Logged on 2019-04-22 16:40 PeterL: I was in a gun store in 2010, they had an SKS for $120, but I didn't get it, wish I did, now they run about $450 around here
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: at least month -- there's a heavy piece i haven't even started yet -- keccak
a111: Logged on 2019-04-01 14:08 asciilifeform: in other noose, asciilifeform nao has what appears to be full pinout, timing, bus sequence, register, init magic, interrupts, etc. spec for bolix 'ivory' (won't, presently, say from where, unless source wants to be cited, plox to write in. )

a111: Logged on 2019-02-17 15:03 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. */"
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-22#1909246 << holy shit what the fuck's the point of all the http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-17#1897508 / http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-17#1897508 etc etc shenanigans, if they don't fit in a fucking 2147483648 byteschunk! ☝︎☝︎
mp_en_viaje: oh no, wait, it wasn't michael jackson. it was that retarded fat fuck that subbed for bruce dickinson in 1995.
BingoBoingo: I've got a clothing fork on the balcony that holds quite a bit, but denim just doesn't seem to dry completely before dew falls i the night and gets it wet again.
PeterL: I run about 10 loads of wash a week, I don't want something that only handles one T-shirt at a time ☟︎
PeterL: you don't just have to get the vacuum, you also have to vaporize the water ☟︎
BingoBoingo: Same reason you can't get borosilicate in the US outside of flea markets, drugwar.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: here's an old asciilifeform crackpottery : why exactly can't one buy clothes dryer that runs on vacuum pump, instead of heater. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: I don't much anymore. Towels coming out of the wash buckets dry faster than jeans.
PeterL: I was in a gun store in 2010, they had an SKS for $120, but I didn't get it, wish I did, now they run about $450 around here ☟︎
asciilifeform: PeterL: in city , can't use anyffin that can be heard even from across street
BingoBoingo: The old women are upset so they say "bad for children" just like in old country. And new mayor of Montevideo hasn't even been on the job for a whole month.
diana_coman: I actually like hedgehogs but if it didn't have enough brain to roam the gardens only...
diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-21#1909210 -> now I get it why asciilifeform doesn't play computer games anymoar - can't compete with real trash pandas! ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-21#1909179 << can't resist to bite into this : chicago also has '5star' w/out bathtub. seen with own eyes. as for bidet, iirc 1 time some hotel magnate had'em installed, and it caused puritanwank on front pages of the fishwrap, hastily removed. ( iirc was in fact chronicled in an ancient mircea_popescu piece ! ) ☝︎
mp_en_viaje: contentment won't come at all.
billymg: as in, the more you experience without achieving contentment the more you realize contentment won't come from those things/experiences
mp_en_viaje: you don't know* i mean.
mp_en_viaje: i don't know that every single window you've yet interacted with is only fit for burning, because how would you. yet it's true.
mp_en_viaje: pre-giuliani ny was almost still passible ; though the people who still recalled the borscth belt as personal experience likely wouldn;t have agreed
billymg: it was already full disneyified when i arrived circa 2010, but my eyes weren't yet open and i still saw it as this infinite place compressed into a few hundred square miles
billymg: mp_en_viaje: 5.6.36 on my local and 5.6.38 on the server. but it wasn't because of the php version, it had to do with the "gd" library being included or not. i.e. when i emerged php on the server gd wasn't in the use flags, so it wasn't included
billymg: i tracked it down to my server's version of php not being built with the gd library for image processing, so when an image was uploaded it wasn't able to produce the alternate sizes, and so the options to select those sizes were disabled
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-18#1909099 << this is actually the important side-effect of correctly made exemplars -- that they're exemplary. "if you're familiar with the exemplar, neither will you be surprised in a new land by something that oughta be there but you didn't think of it, nor by something that oughtn't be there and you thought it oughta." ☝︎
diana_coman: asciilifeform: the text helps esp. in conveying your intention/focus as it were; it's true that one could understand FFA just with the code but that doesn't mean that the posts don't help.
asciilifeform: cuz it doesn't use 'gimme n-th bit' instruction, nor 'gimme n-th byte', anywhere.
asciilifeform: i gotta admit tho, that the 'oh noez, array isn't drawn with the junior bits at the right' thing never bothered me.
asciilifeform: no reason to, it oughta look same on errybody's display, that wasn't the q
mod6: Thanks, so yeah, her post is in my queue to read. But I have seen the above diagram before ^, and it looked "ok" to me, but I haven't read that far ahead yet.
asciilifeform: ( so far no one else mentioned it in the log, but i have nfi whether because wasn't headache-inducing, or no one read far enuff in other than diana_coman )
diana_coman: re flipping them in one's head: I'm sure it comes with practice but I'm not yet there; and yes, it's more of my shortcoming that I keep tripping on this but atm this is how it is; generally speaking I don't think the ideal is to think in terms of role rather than (any) direction but there are the (historical as you noted) left/right shift/rotate which inevitably still bring direction in for me.
mp_en_viaje: "oh but mp, that wouldn't be fair!!!". quite. who the fuck ever played fair and wasn't a complete and utter moron ? women play fair, and women only. but they're biologically constrained to this, they ony do it because they're trying to get pregnant. i'm not trying to get pregnant.
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-04-17#1908807 << guaranteedly no thought went into any of this. the http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-16#1467290 proprietor of a previously transylvanian saxon-owned property including an acre of orchard that wasn't properly pruned failing to properly prune the damned trees isn't proof positive "nobody could turn tree pruning into +ev activty". the fucktarded gypo doesn't even know what the fuck an orchard is, nor could distin ☝︎☝︎
asciilifeform: he didn't conjure up the delay map, but asciilifeform neither knows how to do this without seven figures' worth of microscopy
BingoBoingo: * asciilifeform doesn't post much travel photo on acct of... it'd be like a dog posting food pics. 'omfg errything here was Built By People! and not josephsmiths! omfg have you seen a light post like this?' etc << iirc you still have good chunk of Bingoboingistan on your camera roll
mp_en_viaje: not that i don't have a guess.
asciilifeform: walking across europistan isn't a mp_en_viaje-strictly activity because expensive. but because takes time.
mp_en_viaje: it wasn't that bad, like a hundred bucks worth or so.
asciilifeform doesn't post much travel photo on acct of... it'd be like a dog posting food pics. 'omfg errything here was Built By People! and not josephsmiths! omfg have you seen a light post like this?' etc
asciilifeform: http://ossasepia.com/2019/04/17/reading-notes-on-ffa-ch1-ch4/#selection-219.321-219.445 << y'know, there isn't any harm in 'looking ahead in the textbook', when you feel like doing so
BingoBoingo: Just wondering what a market could look like if USG didn't burn a trillon or so over the decade promoting shit
asciilifeform: asic is a high enuff risk biz that the people who do it, are conservative to the point of 'if this exact thing hasn't been done before, fughetaboutit' ☟︎
asciilifeform: you can't make chip fab cheaper by asking it to live in group house 15 cucks to a room and to eat recycled noodles.
asciilifeform: ( it will not only occupy the ~entire matrix, even if you somehow get it to fit; but also won't meet timing spec, even at pretty modest clock )
asciilifeform: there are two consequences of poor synth engine : can't fit into the chip even items that theoretically oughta fit, and : what's worse, sometimes ~can~ fit, but 'mysteriously' dun work at reasonable clock , cuz mismatched path delays. ☝︎
bvt: asciilifeform: isn't ice40 a done thing, i.e. is there anything else to add to it?
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
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: 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.
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
mp_en_viaje: b shouldn't even be a cup.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, haven't been here in almost 20 years ; i dun recall this problem, but then again....
mp_en_viaje: but anyway, yes, somehow spatial navigation schelling points common to all other humans ain;t obvious to hungarians.
mp_en_viaje: something like two dozen separate blarings, i mean gimme a fucking break, there can't be that many emergencies
BingoBoingo: I don't think I here sirens here more than weekly or biweekly
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.
bvt: yes, this is a point; i don't believe they'll even try to use oak - they have 'modern, improved' materials these days
a111: Logged on 2019-04-15 19:55 mp_en_viaje: a well, i guess that's another "europe from the 90s" girls don't get to see.
