mircea_popescu: bitcoin is inescapably and permanently the definitive word on linguistic order, which includes all monetary considerations as a minor point.
mircea_popescu: "we didn't know how you wanted your house laid out so we put this sqm in the middle that has to be traversed FOR EVERYTHING! hope you enjoy all the copping a titfeel in your own god damned house"
mircea_popescu: whatever the fuck but this pointlessly self-crit of a spurious bottleneck.
mircea_popescu: what the fuck, "oh we don't know what people may plug into the bus", like it's 1979 and i go around the killer micros with syringe needles.
mircea_popescu: 1. netbridge or no netbridge ; 2. vidbridge or no vidbrige ; 3. serial.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, have dedicated fucking lines. all this "oh, we have nfi what will hang off this cpu" pretense is 1980s idiocy. WE FUCKING KNOW. have dedicated netbridge ; have or not have dedicated video bridge -- YOU KNOW if you're putting or not puting a fucking vidcard in there but you don't know whether you need a bus for it or not ? gimme a fucken break!
mircea_popescu: yeah. you were all "well, sorry it's broken" last month or w/e, but realise -- back when it was written it was ahead of the v as a concept. that it meanwhile become broken is merely because the tide raised ; but the tide raised because, in no small part, it existed.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, did we do the "single bus is idiocy, unless using alf's serialized dongle cpu, do the shit properly" thread ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i prefer my formulation, but yes, i'd have taken b.
mircea_popescu: a "module" is a braindamaged half-way implementation of a compiled configfile.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'd have preferred much more exposed parameters/configs than "modules", for instance.
mircea_popescu: mod6 you realise this, your original v actually worked out in practice as major pivot improving v significantly from notion to item.
mircea_popescu: it's shocking how philosophically undedicated them folks are, 0 adherence to any kind of principle or anything whatsoever.
mircea_popescu: trinque the VERY FUCKING NOTION of "modules" is basically abandonment of kernel.
mircea_popescu is looking forward to mod6 putting some of these into hardware, because while he's very cute as he gets all flustered from repeated failure, the whole process is nevertheless immensely useful & productive.
mircea_popescu: the bizarre sort of "humility" the empire keeps pushing.
mircea_popescu: "very strict" : if i can't lean on them to make a proper genesis, also just as good as not existing
mircea_popescu: but in shorthand practical terms, if they don't have a genesis we can patch upon, they don't exist.
mircea_popescu: the logic is actually very strict : only key can sign, therefore only key can genesis, and see all the discussions around mpi re exactly what code production is deemed etc.
mircea_popescu: it makes sense to re-do imperial crud under the republic ; it makes comparatively little sense to try and pick among the anonymous imperials for "the good one".
mircea_popescu: esthlos in a word, because none of the gerard beekmans matthre burgess bruce dubbs etc are known to us / have a !!key and so on
mircea_popescu: anyway, this will need more thought by which i mean more failed attempts.
mircea_popescu: trinque yes but see, the change of diff to tmsr diff is liable to bring improvbements to semantic ; same may be true of etree.
mircea_popescu: i suppose once phf delivers new v, we shall be looking for a hero to reportage.
mircea_popescu: because i will confess phf 's tales of bravery encourage me, to think perhaps protage could be cut from 5bn lines to 5k or somesuch ?
mircea_popescu: is the idea to actually use the whole portage mechanism on the eventual cun2 ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's not even that they're binary dists. they CLAIM to be proper dists. but then "all compiles except THIS ONE THING" ; or "x requires y and y requires x -- pick one put binary in" ; or so following.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you're familiar with the dependency problem, yes ? the statement here is that dependency problem for debian is SO BAD you can't actually produce a meaningful packaging of useful debian within finite space.
mircea_popescu: i think the last debian capable of booting without any binary was like, sarge.
mircea_popescu: iirc that died in the flames of 1e10 bytes of liquid shit
mircea_popescu: at some point we (i mean s.mg) attempted to build a debian archive.
mircea_popescu: but from what i gather a half dozen people have pills for it in various states of undress.
mircea_popescu: mod6 it has to compile and bootstrap ; and support video cards and netcards. that'd be about it.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: lemme rephrase. ima have this done eventually, just not a priority rightnao.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman i wouldn't mind an ascii-art renderer, like vlc has.
mircea_popescu: i dunno, but at some point republican drawing will have to get resolved.
mircea_popescu: trinque basically the empire of idiots is dead set on giving us free money. all hail.
mircea_popescu: not SO hard to use the god damned ascii pipes simple and double to make schematics.
mircea_popescu: honestly i am inspired by zineKing chan example, i suspect the better solution may actually be 1980s style ascii art.
mircea_popescu: tho did not say anything because not particularily fair, victory delivered by the idiocy of tool.
mircea_popescu: being large, self centered and insensate, like a really annoying fat older woman ? vaca. (cow). but as a superlative, "vaca cu cabina", ie, cow with a booth.
mircea_popescu: why ? the texts do not record why. but ~everyone knows.
mircea_popescu: the superlative of this, however, "tufa de venetia", ie, Venice bush.
mircea_popescu: for instance : to be utterly clueless, entirely unprepared, ineffectual and worthless -- such as for an exam of some kind, "a fi tufa", ie, "being a bush".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform romanian has utterly absurd fixed superlatives for most idiomatics.
mircea_popescu: HOWEVER, "to make a cabbage out of things" very much still in use
mircea_popescu: i suppose thrashed very good equivalence by mechanism.
mircea_popescu: nah, i expect it's actually alt-spelling of snop (hay ballot)
