Mocky: unfortunately my cpp skills are not
there yet
Mocky: yes, a more resilient design is much needed for
the bot. it also needs
to get out from under
the
thumb of
the ps event/thread model so
that adding capabilities doesn't require crimes-against-humanity levels of extra code in order
to approach resilience
stratum: I do not recall any skeptical
talk about rsa,
though, I do
think
https can be valuable in attempting
to mitigating some issues one may encounter,
this is
true.
stratum: i am a real person who has seen
the wonderful dpb spread
the gospel and came here
to watch
mircea_popescu: (and yes, republican bot is ==== imperial "we
the people", no question about it.)
mircea_popescu: there's no serious reason
to write our poor people in
the way
THEIR poor people would like our poor people
to work [for
the
transparent reason
that
thusly, our poor people won't outcompete and drown out
their poor people].
mircea_popescu: obot sent
to broom will broom individual items" sorta bs.

two occasions I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into
the machine wrong figures, will
the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly
to apprehend
the kind of confusion of ideas
that could provoke such a question.'
mircea_popescu: specifically :
the oldest illustration of "robotics" in
the charlie chaplin deeply misguided
http://btcbase.org/log/2015-03-06#1043874 approach (and yes, i am very unimpressed by charlie chaplin as
the "intellectual great" pantsuit make him out
to be, specifically because
this sort of deliberate stupidity
to cater
to pantsuit nonsense dun count as wisdom) is an amelia bedelia-esque "person sent
to broom will broom

☝︎ a111: Logged on 2019-01-02 15:31 asciilifeform: mats: i haven't built anyffing useful from ice40 with own hands yet. but, interestingly, when bought a 'scsi2sd' device for replacing disk in bolix box, found
that author in fact used ice40 for
the job
mircea_popescu: Mocky but
the important part is "resilient design" so
to speak : it should keep polling after doing what it
thought it did. same exact
thing as with
the "put stuff in inv" : put all you find of
the
type you're putting, if you miss some on one cycle, catch up on next. sorta
thing.
Mocky: oh hey, never
thought about multiple skill dings, I'll note
a111: Logged on 2019-01-03 17:01 diana_coman: cool; one day I'll make it
to ch14b
too, lol
lobbesbot: Mocky: Sent 19 hours and 34 minutes ago: <mircea_popescu> further issue with bot for your list : if it dings
two skills, it only
trains one. really it should have a check ~before~ crafting whether it can do any skill upgrading somehiow.
mircea_popescu: anyway, many people
took yearish hiatuses, mats recently emerged after a slumber for eg.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-03 16:59 asciilifeform: given as
the fella didn't end up sticking
to republic, i dun expect we'll ever find out.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-03#1884081 << any reason you believe
this ? (i have nfi,
there's some obligation
to participate in
the sense of weighing in on decisions for
the lordship, but afaikl dude never was/wanted
to be, and for
the citizenry at large
there's no such
thing is
there ?)
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2019-01-03 16:49 asciilifeform: box is dead in
the water on apparently all linux kernels since ~2006ish, and seems like nobody gives a fuck.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i believe, but maybe deep link
to
the something useful.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-03 16:36 diana_coman: well, it's meant as replacement not as alternative so I don't see why would one keep
the sha patches; onth replacement in place aka no name change doesn't break anything either
a111: Logged on 2018-12-01 01:22 asciilifeform quite fond of alpha,
the architecture book was ~thin~
mircea_popescu: next we're going
to dig up a 1990 era soviet stolen sub
to run it on
their handcranks also.
diana_coman: heh,
talked in parallel
there; I know and
that's why I did not mention it at all at first; it was just because you asked for as much nitpick as possible, so now it's at least said
diana_coman: re nitpick: in my code I
tend
to keep
to XS'First..XS'First+X'Length but it does make it ugly & long
diana_coman: asciilifeform, yes, it was rather basic stuff but
the fact is
that I read Knuth ~10 years ago so refresh was long due
diana_coman: ftr I had
to refresh a bit on Knuth Vol 2 at some point but I don't see
that as a minus at all
diana_coman: the
trouble is
that "sharp edges" are quite often operator-shaped as it were
diana_coman: apeloyee beat me
to
the cut; nothing else so far
a111: Logged on 2019-01-03 02:19 asciilifeform: aalso i spoke
too soon, it stops mid
through boot, dun see cd drive.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-26 22:00 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: prolly like most folx who actually work on proggies, asciilifeform has '9000' vtrees on various disk, on various boxen,
that are in classical format, and many not even intended for publication,
the ones
that see daylight naturally will become newtype
diana_coman: well, it's meant as replacement not as alternative so I don't see why would one keep
the sha patches; onth replacement in place aka no name change doesn't break anything either
☟︎ diana_coman: asciilifeform, you broke all your links on your www
to FFA code on btcbase when you changed
the name of vpatches because of keccak vs sha: e.g. btcbase.org/patches/ffa_ch7_turbo_egyptians/tree/ffa/ffacalc/cmdline.ads#L42 in Ch8 404s now because no ".kv"
mircea_popescu: i
thought
that was
the substance of
teh announcement :p
