asciilifeform: grr, howler typo in piece, fixing
asciilifeform asciilifeform mined his first coin or so on a much smaller version of same item, back in the olden dayz
asciilifeform: thing will theoretically fit e.g. 'pentium'-weight of gatez.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-11 00:05 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: re 'bigendian box' -- i invested in one of them 'asic emulator' mega-fpga thingies, it so happens to come with 2 ppc cores on board, can double as bigendism test system.
asciilifeform: fwiw i've obtained a secondhand http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-11#1870822 laboratory instrument ( they're quite rare in aftermarket, typically sold new at outrageous usgtronic prices ) for laters, when The Time Comes. ☝︎
asciilifeform: hardwarizable ( in the manner discussed by mircea_popescu ) also, as 'phree' side effect of the constant-spacetime. but this is yet embryonic.
asciilifeform: ( amd64, for the curious; i haven't touched arm etc of yet )
asciilifeform: i will add, thing is deliberately shaped in such a way that it could be hand-compiled to relatively uncomplicated asm, on most archs, by a clueful reader. my yet-ungenesis'd parallel attempt at this is somewhat behind the ada, but i expect will be maybe 3000 ln. total in the end.
asciilifeform: ( and tbf it remains to be seen whether i succeeded in this )
asciilifeform: this stuff didn't take ~2y because vodka, but because actually tricky to lay out in the form where user can 'this is my parachute, i packed it'
a111: Logged on 2016-02-10 13:37 asciilifeform: i was quite certain we had a tigerfibel thread
mircea_popescu: starting to look like ye olde http://btcbase.org/log/2016-02-10#1401993 ☝︎
asciilifeform: it is meant for eventual feeding even to pets
mircea_popescu: fucking colorized. you put a lot of thought into this have you!
asciilifeform: folx who grunted through ch.10 the Proper way, with chalkboard, may find some of 12a to be boring. but the exposition was promised, and so written.
mircea_popescu: http://www.loper-os.org/pub/ffa/ch12_mul_timing.png << so beautifully linear! i would daresay this graph by itself promises corectness.
asciilifeform: why ty

BingoBoingo: jurov: tyvm
jurov: lobbes: the bot dropped (I had a message)
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes asciilifeform tyvm
asciilifeform: ack that rx & decoded, but apparently not read lol
ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-12#1871452 << i assumed this to be an 'ack' ☝︎
asciilifeform: ok this slipped through my fingers, grr
a111: Logged on 2018-11-15 02:13 asciilifeform: !Q later tell ben_vulpes didja find the eggog ? you estimated 'wednesday', and the day is nearly at end..
ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-15#1872282 << asciilifeform i estimated weds to determine if i had what with to find the error, and followed up later with a gpggram saying i would deliver the errors in the two months in which i found errors. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: The did have however a couple twink-Kpop looking handlers and blocked the intersection of two major walkways for a photo
BingoBoingo: Unlike the spanish they were not uniformed
BingoBoingo: In other news, I am pretty sure I saw the U-17 North Korean team in the Shopping today ☟︎
asciilifeform presently massaging ffa ch12, expects to take most of today
asciilifeform: calliemarie << at least presumably she's tasty when grilled properly
mircea_popescu: and in today's luldose, LordMPofTMSR "Not even kidding." calliemarie_"😂😂😂" LordMPofTMSR "Illiterate, I take it ?"

phf: apropos, and i think we had that thread, but best russian translations were always done by actual writers, rather than dedicated translators (though there was a handful of talanted ones)
phf: asciilifeform: i read borges in ru originally, tried in english and barfed. takes some serious writer to put depth into the english language, like how e.g. faulkner did it. something completely lacking in most translations.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: ty, fxd
a111: Logged on 2018-11-17 01:33 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-15#1872289 << not true, eats postgres as well.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-17#1873152 << hm i was recalling having had to mutilate mine to eat postgres -- but it's been 11+y nao since i last touched the thing , so could be entirely off ☝︎
asciilifeform: of the 20th c folx -- i also liked borges
mircea_popescu: much the fuck better than "Westerns", and evidently cribbed liberally rfor the latter.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-16 19:15 BingoBoingo: Not in the depth I'd like to
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-16#1872991 << i muchly recommend the spanish adventure romances of the medieval period. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-11-16 19:10 asciilifeform: eh it aint actually that great. turns out was much better in my memory than in life.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-16#1872971 << that'd actually be great, if you're asking. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-15#1872292 << nah, fairly transparent, config knob ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i just happen to use mysql.
a111: Logged on 2018-11-15 02:26 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-15#1872279 << currently i know veeery little about mysql ( always used postgres, and at this point know embarrassingly much re the internals and tuning knobs ) -- but iirc mp's-wp requires specifically mysql, so prolly doomed to study it at some point
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-15#1872289 << not true, eats postgres as well. ☝︎☟︎
BingoBoingo: In other news, apparently the U17 Female world cup is in town and the Españolas shop at Tienda Inglesa ☟︎
asciilifeform: i dun particularly see why unix needs to be happening on an airgapped rsa box.
asciilifeform: no disks, whole thing in rom, bahaha.
asciilifeform: i/o via the 2nd serial port.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-26 02:14 asciilifeform: meanwhile, in gnat bugs : apparently ( and this is documented or mentioned nowhere ) : it is impossible to have a Ada.Finalization.Limited_Controlled type ANYWHERE inside a static library, unless it is generic all the way down (i.e. if the lib package is generic, any sub-packages must also be instantiated as generics )
asciilifeform: ( fwiw i consider 2012 mature, and can't picture why i'd want later ones, unless perhaps fixes serious bugs like http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-26#1866266 -- and even ~then~ i'd prefer to backport to ave1istic gnat ) ☝︎
asciilifeform: ( in earlier ada they were quite ugly )
asciilifeform: i use preconditions, for instance, and they only work as written with ada2012
phf: as in good luck with that
asciilifeform: i looked for this wonder, but never found ( and supposing it exists, it is almost certainly the wrong gnat, i want ave1's )
phf: i'd imagine there's gnat as part of djgpp, probably already prebuilt
asciilifeform: ( for nitpickers -- 8bit won't work, you cannot represent the ~length~ of a crypto-useful integer in 8 )
asciilifeform: ( i dun ask that the gnat also ~runs~ under dos, tho that would be 9000x spiffier even . simply ~for~ )
asciilifeform: ( i deliberately wrote ffa in such a way that it oughta work on under 32bit or even plain 16, supposing somehow enuff ram )
asciilifeform: i'm looking forward to the hero who pulls off a msdos gnat port btw
phf: also graphs, sometimes you just need to throw up the graphics, and i'd rather not do it with c
asciilifeform: so looking to put colour emacs in there or wat
phf: it's got ada, emacs, sbcl (and some extra tooling like mutt and a pdf reader)
asciilifeform: ( if yer writing even so much as a tetris, even on dos box you needed a bit more than simply fb to do it without 'tearing', you need some way to insta-flip the 'pages' , possibly ioctl ? )
phf: i've been using the asus as kind of netbook, i'm generally pleased with it *not* having x
asciilifeform: if you have a working /dev/fb0 you can theoretically have x tho, neh
phf: i meant the asus, i'm running it without X, but i suspect that pretty much standard way of doing gui on a console is via /dev/fb0. rk eventually will give you similar device if everything else is correct
asciilifeform: ( or maybe was only the 3d gpu that wasnt, i dun recall )
asciilifeform: iirc the display subsystem was never fully reversed yet
asciilifeform: have nfi how well it worx and what exactly it takes to get a picture
asciilifeform: i admit that i've never actually plugged a display into rk
phf: ioctl gives you dimensions and bit depth, and then you mmap x*y*bpp/8 worth
asciilifeform: if yer running in kernel, you dun need mmap call, you can simply set the address of your array to be the magic iron addr directly
phf: nah, very explicitly a linuxism "/dev/fb0", which you ioctl for details and then mmap
asciilifeform: ( would specify the iron address, and run as root ?? )
asciilifeform: keep in mind that horsecocks has hardcoded constants in it that may or may not work on arm ( per bvt's dig )
asciilifeform: i expect if you bake sumthing on 'horsecocks', it will be simple to rewrite on new item, will simply shed a few lines of coad
asciilifeform: ( uses system.address internally to turn yer mmap into a 100% transparent 'as if you had declared it on stack' variable that is backed to/from disk via mmap )
phf: ty, i've been using linux in console mode on my rk, so i wanted to write a framebuffer tooling for ada, using your mmap as blueprint (i'm not sure there's much overlap though..)
asciilifeform: phf: the 'horsecocks' one requires pointerism to be enabled; the new one does not ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2018-10-26 02:14 asciilifeform: meanwhile, in gnat bugs : apparently ( and this is documented or mentioned nowhere ) : it is impossible to have a Ada.Finalization.Limited_Controlled type ANYWHERE inside a static library, unless it is generic all the way down (i.e. if the lib package is generic, any sub-packages must also be instantiated as generics )
asciilifeform: it is on hold pending resolution of http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-26#1866266 ( and is taking back seat to ffa currently ) ☝︎☟︎☟︎☟︎
a111: Logged on 2017-06-06 19:40 asciilifeform: mod6, phf , et al : http://nosuchlabs.com/pub/ada/horsecocks.tar.gz << i dun recall posting this before, so here it will live, for nao : unofficial release of mmaptron
asciilifeform: phf: the early ver that was actually posted is http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-06#1666647 . however there's a clean/rewritten one, in a 90% state of completion, not yet genesis'd ☝︎
asciilifeform: ( and will add, it aint as if today's ameritards are less credulous. simply today better corralled, today's hotel owner will equally idiotically invest in usg bonds, rather than tesla's trunk, is all )
asciilifeform: ( i do not, tbf, know whether this legend is troo, but given the credulous people of the time and the man's talent for self-pr, i can easily buy it )
asciilifeform: there's also the 'is it really ~the~ tapes' aspect. as in the old thing with the gold bars that nobody wants to drill for tungsten. consider for instance how nikola tesla was able to live in the waldorf for years, with the loan collateral being a trunk containing 'great invention of much dangerous power'. when died, turned out to contain a whetstone bridge. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: Hey, someone could criticize or correct them during the curing. While sitting on the tapes they can dream without confronting anything.
asciilifeform: tlp i suspect has the full dirt re subj. i.e. when you have the trunk, you can carry on thinking yer the 'start of movie', but if sumbody else builds , then somehow 'not star' no moar
asciilifeform: whichever way -- there's apparently a set of people who find it moar satisfying to sit on a trunk of rotting tapes, than to see the idiocy of computing 1990-present cured
a111: Logged on 2018-11-16 16:41 mircea_popescu: empire is selling orcs the impression "they're in on a secret"
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i suspect there's some http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-16#1872899 in the psycho-mix also ☝︎
