asciilifeform: diana_coman: this is correct picture.
asciilifeform: eyeball-powered diff, when there is a mechanical one, is nuttery
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-18#1772477 << in ideal vtron, the 'and i stole x from a, y from b...' is protocolic, rather than promisetronic. i.e. abolition of eyeball-powered diff. ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-18#1772453 << this has been a regular thing since at least '14 ☝︎
asciilifeform: ( and it ain't too far from the troof... )
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-18#1772449 << normally 'meatspace' but i like phf's picture. ☝︎
asciilifeform brb,meat
asciilifeform: or is that just hollywoods
asciilifeform: i thought it was typically fathers
asciilifeform: lol
asciilifeform: nope
asciilifeform: in what other way does anything fit-in-head ?
asciilifeform: worse, was thinking of very different ( and probably unsolvable ) problem ( 'how to give arbitrarily small pieces of code, a perma-history' )
asciilifeform: but but, does spreading work yet!11
asciilifeform: (unrolling doesn't do anything useful on archs with no pipeline)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: apparently not. hence why unrolled comba was iirc 2x+ speedup
asciilifeform: i got a megatonne of those . ( e.g. unrolled comba )
asciilifeform: aha, it's on the side-point list.
asciilifeform: it's a variant. not currently convinced that it is The Right Thing.
asciilifeform: ( i considered lispism, rejected for the given application strictly on account of moving-parts-count , 'p' gotta have parachute-level simplicity )
asciilifeform: it already lives in the forth hole, lol
asciilifeform: it's next on asciilifeform's conveyor after ffa. ( this should not discourage anybody else from writing adatronic lisps of whatever type, however )
asciilifeform: currently ffa has 0 pointerism.
asciilifeform: ( you have to satisfy the compiler that it has exactly same 'life' as the item pointed-to. and in practice this is quite difficult. )
asciilifeform: ada working in normal mode typically won't even let you take a pointer of an object on the stack.
asciilifeform: ( the ada passing by reference semantics give you almost anything that c programmers typically want from pointerism )
asciilifeform: so long as you don't use the heap, you more or less can dispense with traditional pointers.
asciilifeform: aha.
asciilifeform: ( spoiler : you can trivially implement linked list without -- properly speaking -- pointers, but with integers, this also came up in the earlier 'lisp in ada' thread )
asciilifeform: right. but... i'ma let mircea_popescu eat rest of the thread
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: why hard ?
asciilifeform: oh hey hey hey lbj
asciilifeform: even on pnoje there are language gamez etc
asciilifeform: lol dafuq to do in uruguay with 0 spanish
asciilifeform: unrelatedly , asciilifeform recently found out that you can still buy old-style SLC ('single layer') ssd. 100,000+ write cycle endurance instead of the ubiquitous MLC ('multi layer') ~10,000 . for approx 8x the cost. has, supposedly, considerably faster writes, also.
asciilifeform: oh hey congrats BingoBoingo
asciilifeform: in other noose, http://www.loper-os.org/?p=2146&cpage=1#comment-18757
asciilifeform: ( in re the latest article )
asciilifeform: possibly gold medal trololol against angloroaches.
asciilifeform: and it is pretty great
asciilifeform: funnily enuff this is maybe the 5th or 6th trilema piece in a row that asciilifeform finished eating just prior to deedbot displaying
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2015-06-28#1180271 possibly ☝︎
asciilifeform has the 2 or 3 different 'z-' shitcoins perma-symlinked in head
asciilifeform: didn't that nonsense implode..? or was that z-somethingorother.
asciilifeform had nfi that the monerists were still around
asciilifeform: 'People who wish to avoid financial surveillance should consider using privacy-centric cryptocurrencies with opaque blockchains, such as Monero' << lol, oblig money shot saved for end
asciilifeform: !#s noblis
asciilifeform: oldscam, however, is old:
asciilifeform: and 'conduct surveillance' on publicly broadcast item, pretty rich.
asciilifeform: 'The United States federal government has paid approximately half a million dollars to a private corporation to help various agencies conduct surveillance on the Bitcoin blockchain' << pretty lulzy, that's, e.g., 3 janitors, 2 clerks, 1 intern, for 1yr ☟︎
asciilifeform: ave1: neat
asciilifeform also to bed.
asciilifeform: goodnight mircea_popescu
asciilifeform: afaik gold star champion , aha.
asciilifeform: previously i had it filed under perlisms.
asciilifeform: to think, somebody sat, sewed this.
asciilifeform: a+++ trololol
asciilifeform: pretty great.
asciilifeform: per https://www.crypto.ch/en/contact
asciilifeform: holyfuq it ACTUALLY is..
asciilifeform: lol!
asciilifeform: verily.
asciilifeform: 'The registered office of Cardano Foundation is: Cardano Stiftung, Gubelstrasse 11, 6300 Zug, Switzerland.' classy.
asciilifeform: https://cardanofoundation.org also, didjaknow!
asciilifeform: haskell no less
asciilifeform: and bbeterium.
asciilifeform: how is mpexcoin doing tho.
asciilifeform: lol!!
asciilifeform: neato.
asciilifeform: saw any crocodiles ?
asciilifeform: and ohai mircea_popescu !
asciilifeform noticed
asciilifeform: ( and if anyone began to use it, would prolly end as same kind of catastrophe as e.g. ruby . )
asciilifeform: i read the linked manual in '08 and will admit that i did not find it very interesting. it is the same kind of dead end as dylan.
asciilifeform: http://users.rcn.com/david-moon/PLOT3/page-1.html << see also.
asciilifeform: ( why he did this ? i do not know )
asciilifeform: seemed to me, to be an infix lisp, sorta like 'dylan'
asciilifeform: amberglint: PLOT ( http://users.rcn.com/david-moon/PLOT/ , http://users.rcn.com/david-moon/PLOT3/ . )
asciilifeform: unfortunately i do not have any way to make asic. as for fpga, none exist of the necessary size. ( see e.g. http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-04#1764242 ) ☝︎
asciilifeform: and weste's , too. it seems to contain many usable goodies for asicist.
asciilifeform: but if i were designing asic -- yes, would use.
asciilifeform: ultimately i ended up using nothing at all from it.
asciilifeform: i have a similar item , http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-16#1657241 , it proved to be of very, very limited help for ffa , the constraint of the pc arch limits the use of fancy adders etc ☝︎
asciilifeform: with quite recent lit cited.
asciilifeform: the demo chapter seems to have a very, very detailed discussion of machine arithmetic.
asciilifeform: amberglint: do you have it ? anything unusual, ivoryistic inside it ?
asciilifeform: neato.
asciilifeform: i do not like vhdl; and do not see the point of 'systemverilog' (vs classical); but these are my personal prefs
asciilifeform: unremarkable schoolbook; slightly better imho than hennessey's
asciilifeform: i have an old 'for india' eng edition here.
asciilifeform: and i know of at least 1 still-lurking d00d, who was. and who knows who else.
asciilifeform: and diana_coman , and possibly others.
asciilifeform: aha. mircea_popescu also at one time was a maths man. ☟︎
asciilifeform: (possibly he had other temp name, i cannot now recall.)
asciilifeform: hm.
asciilifeform: !#s from:fromloper ffa
asciilifeform: but iirc he existed as a 'fromloper' prev.
asciilifeform: sept. apparently.
asciilifeform: !#born apeloyee
asciilifeform: !!born apeloyee
