a111: Logged on 2017-07-12 00:56 asciilifeform: mod6 et al : in other noose, i have a working experimental build with No_Implicit_Conditionals, No_Implicit_Heap_Allocations, No_Implicit_Dynamic_Code, No_Secondary_Stack, No_Exception_Propagation, No_Tasking, No_Protected_Types, No_Delay, No_Allocators, No_Dispatch restrictions.
phf: still a question of ownership. you can even have a C compiler without undefined behavior, if you're rob pike and wrote it from scratch for your own os.
asciilifeform: but overall not a bad time to note, there are afaik no public examples of 'how to ada' that would have satisfied asciilifeform .
phf: just to clarify, is not a weather balloon, it's an autonomous uav glider
asciilifeform: https://github.com/tum-ei-rcs/StratoX/tree/master/software/hal/hal/src << holy mother of fuck, why is there vga framebuffer handler in a weather balloon ??
asciilifeform: and holy shit is that thing a hog, for what it ( at least according to the docs ) does !!
phf: i'm not sure how kosher it is (it's SPARK but they also use gnat extensions), i'm just recreating their project at a local hackerspace
phf: i haven't stayed up to date, i'm instead studying this avionics software source code (it's a bit iffy, written by universities, but has a wider variety of stuff)
a111: Logged on 2017-07-13 14:02 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-13#1682303 << iirc phf posted his ffa helloworld a day or so after the original paste
andreicon: thx a lot guys, i feel like i'm going to have a good time talking to you here
andreicon: i'll meet you guys and gals later. ofc diana_coman, i will also register a key as soon as i reach my home office
diana_coman: np; but consider registering a key here
diana_coman: andreicon, what do you do for a living if you don't mind me asking?
shinohai: I am a former Debian user, now ashamed to say I used it for so long after being here and learning to gentoo properly.
andreicon: as in ... a debian fork, uses apt as a package manager
andreicon: never heard of it, but it doesn't sound like a curse. not in my book
diana_coman: ahh, I see; take it easy, it's a deep rabbit hole
diana_coman: plenty of time around here; it's a logged chan too, so people will read when they wake up/come around
andreicon: i don't think i've updated mine in a while
shinohai: Is it a http://thebitcoin.foundation/ node?
andreicon: does that confer me a higher status in the republic?
andreicon: i already run a btc node
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-13#1682308 << comba is an O(N^2) multer. it beats the classical one simply because it doesn't need a scratch buffer of length N. it goes as the base case in karatsuba, not instead of it ☝︎
deedbot: http://www.contravex.com/2017/07/13/the-implications-of-bitcoin-for-inheritance/ << » Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski - The implications of Bitcoin for inheritance.

This means that any bitcoins you receive after that time may later disappear from your wallet or be a type of bitcoin that other people will not accept as payment." << lol

mircea_popescu: incidentally my greatest health problem atm is hooker-acquired strep throat. bubble long gone, lost a little weight and well... that was it.
BingoBoingo: Well, when your greatest health problem is a bubble, you forget the fat brained dun remember stuff.
BingoBoingo: Well, this is a most idiotic of forks, use luke-jr UASF client, and you fork onto luke-jrXT chain at X date with no miners required
mircea_popescu: let me rephrase that in the form of a question. who wants to buy / sell some bitcoin on Aug 1st ?
mircea_popescu: "alternatively, don't go on forks, don't have a problem."
BingoBoingo: "At Tue Aug 01 2017 00:00:00 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time), Bitcoin confirmation scores may become unreliable for an unknown length of time.

mod6: well, might be a bit premature, but will refine it a bit and get something out there.
mod6: took me quite a while to gain the knowledge of how to write a test driver that creates the ffa generic package and the necessary compoents to make that possible. ☟︎
mod6: just took a step into a much larger world here
BingoBoingo: Not just a line, A whole river.
mircea_popescu: they weren't there on the way back, either. because a truck had crashed into a mini
BingoBoingo: Sounds like a shit test
mircea_popescu: whole thing that threw me is that the shop gives you a sticker, but you need A DIFFERENT one.
mircea_popescu: and he's like "very good that you fixed your car, but you hafta actually get it inspected. there's a special inspection orrifice"
mircea_popescu: needs a better brain.
mod6: so he actually ignored this for a number of moments until the smoke was filling the car.
mod6: another friend of mine had so many mc'ds sacks in the back, when he threw out a cig it came back in the window and started a fire in the back seat. on the freeway of course.
mod6: eitherway, i had a good laugh out of this tale, as i can picture this as indeed, many people fill their cars with trash.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> motorized dumpster! << so recently i was told a story about how this guy in ohio borrowed this car that was a dumpster on wheels -- i'll spare you all the details, but the long of the short of it is; this guy's life was saved when he was t-boned by a dumptruck on the freeway because of all the garbage in the car.
mod6: BingoBoingo: lol. priorities. people need to feel like "they can be a winner too!"
BingoBoingo: <mod6> apparently. although, i recently read that illinois just had to shut down their lotto service ... and powerball pulled out of there? << It's back now. The General Assembly had to suck a lot of other state's dicks, but it's back
mircea_popescu: if alf had a rock of crack he'd prolly go around with it luring crackwhores rather than smoking it all right then and there also.
mod6: BingoBoingo makes a good point. even the motorcycles get more.
mod6: which is not a crime, but jesus, maybe get at least enough to not run out 3 blocks after you leave the gas station.
mod6: but not a week goes by that some fuckstick isn't standing in line to get $1 worth of gas. aka, fart into his tank.
mircea_popescu: o i know. everyone else pays two bux a liter ; except the "enviro conscious" usians, they pay 0.5 a liter.\
mod6: fineable offence. if your wheels fall off, and you come to a grinding halt. no big deal. you may just have to pay for the towtruck. but no fine. run out of gas (preventable), hefty fine.
asciilifeform: in a 2door auto.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nato doesn't have a spec. for anything. look you it up.
mircea_popescu: well, to a nazi empire at least.
asciilifeform: exactly the kind of 'unsexy' great engineering that adds up to a working tech civilization.

asciilifeform: asciilifeform could tell you where to get a opteron, or a dozen. but not where to get 10,000 by august.
BingoBoingo: What do you mean "not in a civilian shop"?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: not that you can actually buy those in a civilian shop
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> mod6: it was a deliberate fuckyou-and-whatchagonnadoaboutit to people who actually work << Not like pantsuit gets to interact with men anyother way

mod6: ya, that doesnt look as bad. i could go on for hours. how the government complicates how i pour liquid out of a container.
BingoBoingo: There's a "trigger activated" variety that sucks a bit less. Prolly best to make the jump to https://archive.is/FUoB6
mod6: now i just pour out the normal widemouth with a funnel. spill gas everywhere.
asciilifeform: https://a.d-cd.net/b7539du-960.jpg << subj ☟︎
asciilifeform: funnily enough actual soviet gas can was a 100% solid clone of the german one, probably to this day made in ru
mod6: i thought it was just a creative fly swatter
mod6: shit is gonna give me a stroke one of these times.
BingoBoingo: In response to the kleptocratic aggressions and vandalism against his tomatoes, TMSR Lord BingoBoingo deployed the organophosphate nerve agent carbaryl against the evil Stink Bug order 'Pentatomidae.' The casualties will likely never be counted, but an estimated "dozen or so" stink bugs are dead or actively dying at the time of this writing. Civilian casualties among untargeted insects as a result of the TMSR Lord's chemical weapons use
mod6: naw, but alf has seen a lot of atrocities, and therefor has some axioms about things.
asciilifeform: did not see a btc addr in it
shinohai: asciilifeform: A donation addy made for this guy: http://archive.is/TaCeC

asciilifeform: '... going by the diaries, a bright and eager exemplar of 'russian intelligentsia' of the 10s of the last century... 'german liberators', 'liberation bombs', 'friends from the sd', etc '
asciilifeform: ( approx. ~= 'stierlitz (hero of '17 moments of spring') takes a bullet in the head. 'it's a dumdum', thought stierlitz, scatter-brained' )
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform takes a year to make a wine cask, and five minutes to take a piss in it.
asciilifeform: blum ain't a redditus
asciilifeform: gotta say it, the 'human functions' thing is a sphericalhorse snoar.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i have a whole gallery of mostly females that swallowed long silicone strands "in their head"
mircea_popescu: this is like people frustrated they can't make airplanes, deciding to create a "through-wall bird model of flight", proceeding to prove birds don't "fly" in the sense of, "through walls".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and predictably they've no idea what "a step" is./
asciilifeform: 'Why this particular number? The intent here is to have as example a SPECIFIC MEMORABLE number (in this case, Avogadro’s number) that is roughly the minimum size sufficient to keep adversaries at bay – adversaries that have a week’s time on the fastest 2016-17 supercomputer, which in January 2017 can do 1017 petaflops/sec = 6x10^22 flops/week. In general, the specific number will depend on current technology.'
mod6: related to this, it had seemed to me that since i've moved back to mn, we've gotten a lot less snow than what i remember as a kid in the 80s.
mircea_popescu: in other not-rly-lulz, global warming or no, it is definitely A LOT rainier in costa rica than it was 10-15 years ago

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-12#1681875 << this is actually a pretty strong line of argument. "not the work of a programmer, but the work of a designer." ☝︎
ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-12#1681775 << i'm happy to configure donated hardware to be useful to the republic; if machines need a home i can arrange for that as well ☝︎
mod6: If my keyboard would zap me everytime I misspelled a word, I'd like to think that I'd refrain.
mod6: so one day, i did do a test of ent with like ~1gb worth of '1's in a file just to see if the testing tool would hork.
asciilifeform: 'A former judge who played a leading part in one of France's biggest murder inquiries has been found dead at home with a plastic bag over his head.'
