asciilifeform: but indeed goes back to subj of thread, asciilifeform is stuck with 1880s state of the art, i.e. plugboard, for switching console b/w boxen, in a room where there is simply nomoar wall to hang moar lcd onto.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i say.
mircea_popescu: i wonder if ppl even have any fucking clue WHY it's "~dial~ tone".
asciilifeform: i suspect that mircea_popescu is right in re why the hand-cranked items sold today are still vga-only -- they are for use of gnomes, in the mines.
asciilifeform: and yes i had massive one when i was a bofh. 32 holes. and yes these still sold.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the only place i ever used one, in the 90s, WAS IN DATACENTER. not at your fucking house.
mircea_popescu: i don't think anyone uses kvm in the sense you use it.

ben_vulpes: gotta recalibrate yr expectations, i guess
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i was hoping for eg trinary circuits, dataflow fabric, but quickly disappoint.

asciilifeform: hm, does it ? i'll admit, i did not follow in real time.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-26 06:22 ben_vulpes: no idea why resizing sda3 would kill my poor gentoo, but lo, i killed her jim.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-26#1743153 << fwiw i never heard of either of these ☝︎
ben_vulpes: i have backups, including my usual obsessive notes from the run that brought the frankenbox up in the first place, ain't the end of the world, just the realization of some deferred losses.
ben_vulpes: no idea why resizing sda3 would kill my poor gentoo, but lo, i killed her jim. ☟︎
ben_vulpes: i have what appears to be a chroot with gcc 4.9 and py 2.7, it can happily boot x11 proggies from within the chroot which i take as a good sign but not a definitive greenlight; and now i'm mulling how best to make this chroot the root fs for the whole box. might mount my old root into the chroot, chroot in and mv that to a backup dir (but haven't reasoned through what happens when you mount a fs containing
lobbes: latest update from archiver front: I have managed to successfully bypass archive.is cloudflare js-challenge-bs. Ended up using a combination of phantomjs/casperjs scriptolade. Crude, but it worx.
ben_vulpes: i can't read racemates without reading "race mates"
BingoBoingo: <gabriel_laddel> Wait a minute. Pasteur separated racemates by hand -- so I should at least be able to tell "biker crank" (racemic meth) from "crystal" (d-meth) << Perhaps I can introduce you to little miss trainwreck so you can see how this ends
ben_vulpes: without py > 2.7 i mean
ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-25#1743060 << i entirely agree, still working on making with which to crap down new root fsen without 2.7 and 5.* ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i suppose in fairness the socrates claim to progressive narrative is the best part though. poor socrates. LAST fucking thing.
mircea_popescu: if i mention how i had slave-labour-made fresh crannberies sauce as well as yogurt chimichurri for the lamb over thxgiving (which we don't even actually celebrate) i'm just being an asshole rite.
asciilifeform: for some reason i thought i mentioned it in my gentoo recipe.

a111: Logged on 2017-11-25 00:08 ben_vulpes: looks to be some python strange, using an older stage3 gives similar errors until i set the python profile to 2.7
gabriel_laddel: anyways, I'm not worried about my own supply, just curious about microscopes is all
asciilifeform: and i assume you already recrystallized ?
asciilifeform: i dun consider it sin to run away from grade school. but consider opening a book
a111: Logged on 2017-11-25 01:37 fromloper: hi everyone. I've heard that some people here are interested in Elbrus hardware, so I brought you this announcement: https://pp.userapi.com/c840421/v840421325/27721/jhAYzDMy5ms.jpg
mircea_popescu: only good high magn optic microscopes i ever saw were mirrored not lens.
mircea_popescu: i am shocked.
mircea_popescu: i though usb nullifies lens aberration through the power of unicode.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-25#1742991 << i had and threw that specific one, it is rubbish ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i c
fromloper: basically that, I'm following Elbrus' PR
mircea_popescu: fromloper what's your relation to the item ? "something i found on the internet" ? or ?

mircea_popescu: i take it back, apparently teh meth works.
gabriel_laddel: Wait a minute. Pasteur separated racemates by hand -- so I should at least be able to tell "biker crank" (racemic meth) from "crystal" (d-meth)
gabriel_laddel: I'm curious about the utility of microscopes. Don't really care about meth purity too much.
gabriel_laddel: 1000x magnification seems unrealistic - that being said: if I crush some product, take hundreds of images of each sample & use them as input into a neural network along with a 1-10 (bunk-absolute fire) rating y'think it'll get trained to recognize the real deal? ☟︎
ben_vulpes: i'm doing this inside a chroot, so i think maybe something isn't mounted correctly? i've tried it both the way that mod6 suggested to me (-o bind /dev $chroot/dev) and the way the gentoo installation handbook says (mount --rbind /dev dev/)
ben_vulpes: with the old stage3, emerge-webrsync downloads what it wants (i think), but then barfs at the end with "Failed to validate a sane /dev ☟︎
ben_vulpes: what do i look like, some sort of terrorist
ben_vulpes: looks to be some python strange, using an older stage3 gives similar errors until i set the python profile to 2.7 ☟︎
mod6: I've updated the trb-howto guide to include 'curl' in the list of required binaries / packages ; Thanks to whaack for pointing out the glaring omission there.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-24 15:03 diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-24#1742941 <- to my mind everything that is in there still stands as it is (assuming Qntra will be back soon); perhaps only on the study side but I'm not really sure it makes sense to give very precise items there anyway - who wants to study won't have problems finding what matters for TMSR at any given point anyway and who is not interested won't benefit from more specific items listed there
phf: i think the only worthwhile optimization left to do is roll the image generation into search.. because right now i'm doing double work, once for the search and once for the image.
phf: right now the bucket is basically 2 days (i.e. 2*24*60*60)
phf: i dropped it to ~~.6s and i'm not messing with it any further. about .3s of that is the search, so image generation and building of histogram is another .3s

phf: i still want to try a couple of different image spitting libraries. this one is particularly expensive, nor does it support palette, so adding colors increased its size by two
a111: Logged on 2017-11-24 06:29 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i gotta nitpick, there is afaik no direct connection b/w meth and tooth decay. strictly in the temptation to 'hey i didnt sleep, why brush teeth..'
gabriel_laddel: phf: the point being? Fwiw, I'm trying to forced march myself into some stable employment while crippled.
mircea_popescu: i suppose i have a coupla girls that have yoga mats...
phf: well, i'm try-en to make a point here, i only really have a yoga mat..
a111: Logged on 2017-11-24 06:08 phf: gabriel_laddel: i have a yoga mat, a strip of lsd, a supply of codeine and a medical insurance card; i don't question their usefulness, i just think it's important to be able to discriminate, so as to apply each one of them appropriately
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-24#1742862 << amusingly, i have none of those. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: yeah but you happy with that much cpu melt ? i mean, if you get a buncha concurrent searches...
mircea_popescu: i was thinking they'd be horiz right under "x entries in y seconds"
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: what do you go to do, when 'kicks in' ? i thought your linux item, were done ?
gabriel_laddel: Eg the other day it "didn't kick in", so I had another few mouthfuls of methwater, only to remember "oh fk, I have to have coffee or it won't work"
BingoBoingo: From what I understand the aggravating factor is vasoconstriction to the mucosa

gabriel_laddel: BingoBoingo I'm aware.
gabriel_laddel: BingoBoingo The INSTANT I have an option out, I'm gone.
gabriel_laddel: Nor have I forgotten $ELSE. Simply overestimated own ability / underestimated the complete idiocy of surrounding populace
gabriel_laddel: While I'm here: At no point did I forget that I'd agreed to build the archiver - however I was banned from the place I'd arranged to host it on 3(!) separate occasions.
phf: i don't know what that is, please link to relevant materials
phf: these'll be disabled when i go to sleep in a few though

BingoBoingo: <gabriel_laddel> http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-18#1740498 < "Are you employed? The courts are looking for lost wages in medmal cases" << You are supposed to answer "My wages are sin, I am loosing enjoyment from life from this suffering" ☝︎
gabriel_laddel: Finally figured out how to score meth tho. Tis the bomb diggity & works exactly as I noted here in the logs prior to finding it.
gabriel_laddel: After that call + several others failing to pick up, I gave up on the whole thing. If you lived out here, you'd not expect sanity from the court system, or any established entity tbh
mircea_popescu: one day i'll understand how this sense-nonsense alloying works. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: In other graphics https://i.imgur.com/y4Src5L.png
phf: hmm, actually i don't think per minute is any indicator of anything.
mircea_popescu: you decide on an image to be displayed on search page, specifically. "i want it 1024 x 168 pixels". you separately produce a png, as wide as day count, and as tall as daycount * 168 / 1024 rounded. you fill that png with the proper lines, proportionally (so highest count day gets full line, all other days get proportional line). then you scale it down to 1024 x 168. you publish this scaled down item on the search page, and yo
phf: hmm, i'm not groking the whole compressed version thing
phf: that's what i'm thinking :)
mircea_popescu: i don't think the functionality as such is particularly useful, i prefer the search. however the perspective actually is, filters would prolly empower the searching mind.
phf: because #; in question is a javascript and for a specific day. since we use links for xref, i'm not sure what the semantic value of linking is going to be in that case. also mandatory javascript
phf: i like some features that he has, live updates, also the convention of <date>#<id>;<filter>
mircea_popescu: i invited him, actually.
mircea_popescu: in other items, https://i.imgur.com/1lfVFJu.jpg
whaack: aha no i was kinda surprised by how much it was in 1 block tbh
mircea_popescu: oh, i read UP TO block x
whaack: I will work on creating an index of all of these non standard outputs of the form (txn-hash:output-index --> satoshis) sum up all the satoshis sent into the abyss from all past blocks, and then subtract spent coins in future blocks to get a value of how many coins are in the abyss at block n
phf: asciilifeform: how where do you source your cat5e? i've been using a leftover roll from my contracting days, but it finally ran out. went on amazon, not only are prices somewhat suspect (300m for $40?), but comments say that they cable doesn't actually conform to spec (wrong insulation, wrong conductor, etc.)
phf: i mean, a _misplaced_ parenthesis will result in a valid parse, but the error is going to be something along the lines of "error while parsing arguments to special form" or "argument x is not a number" or "function call with n arguments, but wants exactly m"
phf: misplaced parenthesis is tricky to debug from the error messages, in fact i usually can't. i can usually intuit that the error is probably a result of misplaced parent, but then i still have to go an track it down
a111: Logged on 2017-11-23 21:17 phf: i've seen properly indented code before, that never the less lost or misplaced parenthesis here or there. naggum actually had a rant somewhere how most experienced lispers actually discover nesting issues by doing reindent. but if you're a newb, you're going to lose a parent, but keep the code shape the same
mircea_popescu: shinohai basically just go through all the pages of https://www.deviantart.com/cartoons/whats-hot/ i guess
mircea_popescu: i don't even care if they're similar per se, just as long as they're good.
mircea_popescu: ok but intensively plox. "can try" as in you know, i checked out 1mn pix.
shinohai: i can try mircea_popescu
mircea_popescu: so here's a something : on one hand i very much like https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CyX33qsWIAAdMW3.jpg ; on the other hand i am kinda considering hiring a court artist for my own personal self-aggrandization.
