a111: Logged on 2018-11-28 15:41 asciilifeform: trinque: consider, d00d went off the rails, but could have instead built cuntoo , 2y ago.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-28#1875688 << this "could" is entirely dubious. might've, yes, but... http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-01#1868382 ☝︎☝︎

mircea_popescu: "'вялотекущая шизофрения'" lol. that thing's noit even tewibwu.

a111: Logged on 2018-04-13 20:10 zx2c4: mircea_popescu: this article is about making a company right? i'm not doing that. im just writing painstaking careful code and giving it to the world for free
a111: Logged on 2018-11-28 01:35 trinque: drug users (see: g_l) do this, go around declaring doctrines like lisplinux-chimera god and inventing pegleg rituals of devotion to her
mircea_popescu: by the way : http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-28#1875661 <<--->> http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-13#1798405 just to have it on the record. ☝︎☝︎
asciilifeform: oh and guten tag mircea_popescu
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: You forget the criminal organization is its own species of especially superstitious orc. They have their rituals too.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i for instance prolly good for three or four hangings, simply on what's in the l0gz ☟︎
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: as mircea_popescu is quite fond of pointing out, they can shoot these any time they like , by 'oops wrong address for swat'; no particular need for oddball new fatwas for that
BingoBoingo: Well it could be the opportunity for USG to try capturing lords still stuck behind the wire for breaking obscure rules in the where the fuck did that come from book
asciilifeform: what's not to like.
asciilifeform: like the bch thing last yr.
BingoBoingo: I suspect USG is going to try pushing some power ranger to an ethereum type "evil address" fork
asciilifeform: next up : the number 3137 sentenced to 20 yrs in gulag. ( for being prime and 3137ist scum on top! )

a111: Logged on 2016-04-12 21:42 asciilifeform: symbolics co. sold quite a few boxes ~the only~ UI to which was x11 over the lan.
asciilifeform: ( see, e.g., thread http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-12#1450695 ) ☝︎
asciilifeform: the mechanics of use is actually 'easy part' -- they take x11 pipe over tcp, and are pretty light on graphics (1bit raster)
asciilifeform: ( for n00bz -- racking an actual bolix is afaik a nonstarter -- the remaining units lack not only the requisite 24/7 reliability / component life , but also any means to cleanly wash the whore between customers, the way i do with e.g rk )
asciilifeform: phf: imho the ultimate bolix caper would be to rack a coupla working clones at pizarro & rent'em out. but admittedly this is , presently, nearly as far as the moon ☟︎
asciilifeform: it's a socketed rom. if yer hands dun grow from arse, there's 0 risk of killing it
asciilifeform: ( srsly, nobody has a fiddybux TL866a and 10 minutes and can be arsed ?! )
asciilifeform: all these folx seem quite alike, 9000 mug shots of grinning muzzle, and 0 highres jpeg of board ☟︎
phf: asciilifeform: that's for the logs, i just thought it was a particularly goofy picture
phf: there's a few photos that i took, but they are somewhere in the pile
asciilifeform: there's a buncha shit-res jpg on the net, but they all have the cache daughterboard mounted, which obscures half of the card
asciilifeform was never able to find a high-res photo of ivory-3. perhaps phf has ?
asciilifeform: https://archive.is/jvkUK << photo of ivory-2 . appears to contain 1 rom, prolly no moar than a 32kB, going by the pin count.
asciilifeform: ( iirc they contain bringup microcoad )
asciilifeform: i also suspect that this experiment will need the contents of whatever's in those roms on the ivory3
phf: busywait, cadr particularly is full of it. and yes reliance on particular cpu timing. i suspect there's a limited amount of it, but enough to make fast emulation buggy
asciilifeform: phf: i'm hoping i dun have to wait another full year for those docs...
asciilifeform: i also suspect that there is coad that won't work without ~cycle-accurate~ copy of the cpu ( the periodic barfage of the 'official' emulator suggests this -- did they use empty loop delays in place of mutexes, or what, i do not yet know )
asciilifeform: ( there could, for instance, be instructions in the physical device that bolix never had a chance to use in os, but exist in some last-days userland proggy like ns etc )
asciilifeform: phf: tho imho ideally, we'd still get a decap of #2 after #1 is happily in a ersatz-ivory board and booting the full archaeological soft stack
phf: asciilifeform: before you agree to a decap, give me some more time to get you the docs, maybe they'll be enough to get things going. i'd hate to lose an ivory to get some pretty but useless pictures, i'd rather it fry on a breadboard in the process of directed discovery ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: it's right about on the borderline of what can be done with that instrument
asciilifeform: and 1uM was just about the last process where optical microscopy yields anyffin ☟︎
asciilifeform: ( for n00bz -- decapping, even if done perfectly, is irreversible process, we dun know how many layers even in ivory, and to take pic of n+1st layer gotta dissolve the n-th... )
amberglint: good, I'll try to guide him here
asciilifeform: anyway if he comes -- we'll talk
asciilifeform: if this were any other ic, i'd say 'gift horse', but in this case 'sapper errs once' ( or , i suppose, twice.. )
amberglint: I mentioned in the email that the chip is 1uM, he did not object
asciilifeform: ( none of the listed items seems to be even a 2uM, much less 1 )
asciilifeform: also that signetics is iirc a 3.5uM process. i dunno if he ever did a 1uM die
asciilifeform: http://www.seanriddle.com/sc1die.html << suggests that this is the case, the link to 'Here's a 17436x15128 pixel version (HD View on another server)' goes to some microshit site that doesn't actually load for me ☟︎☟︎
amberglint: haven't asked that yet, but he did transcribe a ROM so I guess he has higher res ones
asciilifeform: the die shots on the linked page look decent, but not high res enuff to actually work from ( is he hard up for hosting, and reluctant to put 500MB photo ? )
asciilifeform: iirc phf already gave one to some d00d who never came back
asciilifeform: simply, they're ~priceless rembrandts, and i'd rather not send one to a d00d sight-unseen
amberglint: he did a lot of decappings, so I think he's not too bad
amberglint: "I do have to warn that although I’ve had very good luck decapping chips and getting pictures, I have had some failures and there is always the possibility that I could damage the chip so badly that pictures would not be useful."
asciilifeform: amberglint: that's the basic litmus test. if comes, gets in wot, then ~possibly~ serious ☟︎
asciilifeform: took me >10y to get'em, and could take another 20yr to get another.
amberglint: hopefully he won't lose interest if I make him go through the standard procedure here ☟︎
asciilifeform: i only got 2 ivories, they're a nonrenewable resource
amberglint: asciilifeform: I think I can
asciilifeform: amberglint: do ya think you can persuade him to come here ?
amberglint: this is the decapping that got me interested, he even transcribed the microcode ROM: http://www.seanriddle.com/scn68000c8n64.html
amberglint: I wrote him an email, and he said he'd be happy to do it
asciilifeform: ( iirc he was nearly barking up the right tree, with the auto-builder thing )
asciilifeform: trinque: consider, d00d went off the rails, but could have instead built cuntoo , 2y ago. ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2014-03-05 23:10 asciilifeform: the mechanism in their heads that is needed to dis-invest in an unproductive line of inquiry breaks.
asciilifeform: ( see also old thrd where http://btcbase.org/log/2014-03-05#548267 ) ☝︎
asciilifeform: trinque: reminds me of terry davis's pile of ?
trinque: nice amulet he made there.
asciilifeform: ( http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/vpNY3/?raw=true << plain txt, for folx who have lulhub nullrouted )
a111: Logged on 2018-11-28 01:40 asciilifeform: trinque: lulzily, i recently looked at the https://github.com/gabriel-laddel/masamune thing : lo and behold, 'Latest commit b7332fe on Apr 6, 2017' << prolly d00d is truly dead
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-28#1875663 << btw, ftr i was apparently wrong about this : there's a single solitary comment from the d00d on some shithub somewhere, from ~week ago. ☝︎
asciilifeform: diana_coman: lol, maybe he wants to be vassal
a111: Logged on 2018-11-28 01:04 danielpbarron: i would like to be as productive in my free time as i used to be in my professional life
diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-28#1875644 -> so wanting to be a lord while at the same time needing someone to use a whip on you already? ☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they're really e.g. https://github.com/gabriel-laddel/masamune/commit/b7332fe26e69ff4d60f075f3c21179cd1eae8bae , they do the kochtard 'short fp' thing in the ui
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform isn't it the height of cargo cultist idiocy, this "6 character commit ids" thing shithub does.
trinque: dad thought these "doctors" were communist pussies, bless him
asciilifeform: trinque: escaped ? or didja have to 'cold turkey' or wat
mircea_popescu: they do this "declare the few boys showing signs of not being femtarded sick ; and then treat them" .
asciilifeform not expert on q of typical disease progression in subj
asciilifeform: trinque: hrm, i thought he took it up as grown man
trinque: kid was dead when his mother let the state give him amphetamines while his brain was developing.
asciilifeform: trinque: lulzily, i recently looked at the https://github.com/gabriel-laddel/masamune thing : lo and behold, 'Latest commit b7332fe on Apr 6, 2017' << prolly d00d is truly dead ☟︎
trinque: drug users (see: g_l) do this, go around declaring doctrines like lisplinux-chimera god and inventing pegleg rituals of devotion to her ☟︎☟︎
trinque: wanton use of the declarative cuts both ways. this internalized "because bible, full stop" can just as easily "because on my ass is what I do, full stop".
mircea_popescu: you do understand the part where most guys in the lordship would very much LIKE to be able to move to fucking stickville and just not have to deal with the whole pile of crap.
danielpbarron: i'm not going to give up hope
mircea_popescu: i never heard before of some guy who CAN live independently, moving to rural shithole to not be bothered, and then having ~same to show for a year of his life as mod6. at least that dood is holding down a job and a coupla kids meanwhile. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: or stop saying things that can't be done. either because meaningless, self-contradictory, unimportant, whatever.
danielpbarron: you're right, i need to do what i say
mircea_popescu: there can be such a thing as a naive practicing catholic, you know. what one says isn't the be all end all.
mircea_popescu: i'm starting to see a pattern here. "republic is unbiblical but i wanna be in the lordship, sloth is bad but what i do is not much, etc". you know, the principal theory as to ~why~ the catholics go to hell is specifically the trade in "indulgences", which is to say, EXACTLY that procedure ?
mircea_popescu: different, i grant, from the usual "find some dependocunt to worship along with her spawn", but rather in coloring than substance.
mircea_popescu: seems to me you've managed to work yourself into a hole.
danielpbarron: i know what is not the reason, beyond that perhaps i don't know
danielpbarron: i would like to be as productive in my free time as i used to be in my professional life ☟︎
asciilifeform: ( but gotta want to be cured )
asciilifeform: the good news is that it's curable
