asciilifeform: avoid falling into the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-04#1763687 trap, esthlos ☝︎

asciilifeform: rather than a 'i dun fee like working on actual problems, so i'm make a microshit outlook for gpg' ??

asciilifeform: esthlos: consider taking a stab at an open problem that's ACTUALLY A PROBLEM ?

asciilifeform: and radiating vga

asciilifeform: bad enuff that they have to touch a x86

asciilifeform: why, in what universe do we need ~more~ liquishit touching gpggram plaintexts, rather than less..??

asciilifeform: the thing shows 0 symptoms of any other 'goals'.

asciilifeform: распил бюджета.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-15#1770788 << the 'goal', if we can even apply a word like this, is the same as was with chinese 'dragon' mips : to chisel from the ru mil budget. strictly, strictly that. ☝︎

asciilifeform: that is the monumental scale of an idiocy like copying sparc, dma, winblowz toolchain.

asciilifeform: ( just like they copied the pdp-11 and more or less errything else... blindly, unthinkingly. )

asciilifeform: asciilifeform's brother's hypothesis was : su idiot-copied the philips-cartel filament !

asciilifeform: incidentally, re elbrus sparc, asciilifeform is reminded of a historic megamystery : why is it that sovblok incandescent bulbs, lasted for approx same time as western ones ? despite the latter's ( documented to my satisfaction ) philips cartel , and the absence of any such thing on su side ? ☟︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-15#1770673 << i see an 'under construction...' ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-15#1770768 << what was the problem there ? ☝︎

asciilifeform: though i'll point out that ffa as seen today, does not use the cpu carry flag ( recall, no-inline-asmolade rule )

asciilifeform: ( which lacked carry flag ! i'm still half-convinced that it was an elaborate trololol, rather than an actual design meant to be taken seriously )

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-15#1770786 << nah that was 'openrisc' ☝︎

asciilifeform: just about anything else -- is an expensive 'gnu purism laptop'-flavoured scamola sandwitch.

asciilifeform: for an every-transistor-documented xilinx 'virtex' fpga clone ? would pay

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-15#1770787 << nominally it's a sparc. however , my interest in paying any substantial moneys for it, is ~0 . on account of... where to even begin ? how about the fact that said sparc is a straight xerocopy of american sparc ? or the fact that it sits on a bus with a dmatronic taiwanese nic ? or... ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-15#1770782 << what, 3rd ? 4th ? 5th ? yr of 'soon' ? ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-15#1770779 << ty phf ☝︎

asciilifeform bbl,meat

asciilifeform: it's the wolframalpha problem -- doing a proper job is ai-complete. so attempting the job at all results in a duct tape perlism that 'works on a good day', when the wind is just-so

asciilifeform: i give a string of bytes - i want to search for THAT string of bytes. with ~maybe~, ~optionally and explicitly~, case-mutation.

asciilifeform: and dwimmism.

asciilifeform: dunno, can't speak for others, but i fucking hate 'smart' tools.

asciilifeform puts the item in his massive bound paper laboratoryjournal, next to the other supposedly-somewhere-documented-butnotreally materials.

asciilifeform: lolk

asciilifeform: ( not in http://www.contravex.com/trilema-bots-directory apparently. )

asciilifeform rereads pete_dushenski's item

asciilifeform: documented where ?

asciilifeform: aha.

asciilifeform: if i wanted to use google's turd, i'd use it

asciilifeform: from where does the thing get the idea that it is at liberty to ignore the second and third word ?

asciilifeform: look at the output of 'beers beers beers'

asciilifeform: ( am i the only one who does not like this ? )

asciilifeform: i gotta make a proper search, phf's is infuriatingly nonidentical to grep imho

asciilifeform: !#s beers beers beers

asciilifeform: the one with 'beers'

asciilifeform: ooh hey that thing !

asciilifeform: ( or the other d00d's toyota-boeing )

asciilifeform: hey, better than for that ameripizza

asciilifeform: 'it's in my tape robot' is not exactly what typically 'visible' means, lol

asciilifeform: btw are the winning entries visible today somewhere ? linx are dead

asciilifeform: i'm not exactly photo master-artist tho.

asciilifeform: aa

asciilifeform: prolly before i tuned in , then ? ( though iirc that one was ~also~ before i tuned in )

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: was this the contest that produced 'shall be delivered' ?

asciilifeform: !~later tell phf plox to snarf ch7, ty

asciilifeform: ^ achtung, panzers!!

asciilifeform: and now...

asciilifeform: ty mircea_popescu !

asciilifeform: ooh neato!

asciilifeform: a coupla ch ago, lol

asciilifeform wrapping up ch7

asciilifeform: i'm here

asciilifeform: shinohai: tried, barfed

asciilifeform: add yet another proggy to the grand old list of 'liquishit, barely works, and NO alternative known'

asciilifeform: ( because nobody ever does this !? i have nfi )

asciilifeform: in other 'news', apparently gnuplot is not capable of labeling datapoints on a log plot. ☟︎

asciilifeform: mikehearn will have to make room in his swiss ski lodge

asciilifeform: like errywhere else

asciilifeform: royals, prolly

asciilifeform: https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/nintchdbpict0003601919321.jpg?strip=all&w=960 << similar.

asciilifeform: holyshit

asciilifeform: mod6: looks correct

asciilifeform: *thing in

asciilifeform: ^ not a single thin in there that isn't a turd on the road

asciilifeform: !#s from:knubie

asciilifeform: knubie: same goes for you

asciilifeform: oh hey neato

asciilifeform: 0 since civilwar tho

asciilifeform: oh hah they can

asciilifeform: expulsion vote ?

asciilifeform: 'Obama left behind “hints of a progressive legacy,” but very few permanent accomplisments' << oh hey wapo dun dictionariate either

asciilifeform: aha

asciilifeform: ( aside from the case of that 1 sultan who 'retired' entire harem in the river )

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-13#1770324 << iirc they had a 'emeritus' harem, in old palace, for the old ☝︎

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: corn liquishit does ~same thing to all species, apparently. the poor beasts more often than not look as if raised for the table.

asciilifeform: e.g. the various gabriel_laddels living in communal flats, instead of their parents' cardboardmansions

asciilifeform: in the current-day one, ~everybody knows what 'downward mobility' looxlike.

asciilifeform: maybe 1980s usa

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i also suspect that your model is incomplete : usa does not lack a gutter

asciilifeform: abundance of walmartolade + lack of walking

asciilifeform: howssat?

asciilifeform: *bedbug

asciilifeform: i mean, it ain't as if 'hamplanet' is caused by begbug-scarcity.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: 'better rich and healthy, than poor and ill' (tm)(r)

asciilifeform: ( row/col checksums, believe or not )

asciilifeform: the j00z, of same period, were higher-tech, had invented checksum

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-13#1770240 << holyshit this has got to be the shittest ocr i've ever seen ☝︎

asciilifeform stepping up rotaku diet, in gear-up for second expedition

asciilifeform: yay

asciilifeform: ( speaking of old trilemology : pheature req for mircea_popescu : canhaz randomolade url that returns a ~ro~ article ? )

asciilifeform: if doing business with those, can do it right here in usgistan, no need for airplane, bedbugs, neh

asciilifeform: on other hand, a person who agrees that you is you after being shown some usg paper, is agent of usg. ☟︎

asciilifeform: but anyway asciilifeform is not a mega-expert , but knows what this spiked pit looks like.

asciilifeform: well no, agent knows your face ( or , better, pubkey )
