https://archive.is/bON1p >> 'It’s a bit absurd that a modern gaming machine running at 4,000x the speed of an apple 2, with a CPU that has 500,000x
as many transistors (with a GPU that has 2,000,000x
as many transistors) can maybe manage the same latency
as an apple 2 in very carefully coded applications if we have a monitor with nearly 3x the refresh rate.'
mircea_popescu: thus you don't really want a compiler
as much
as you want a (very narrowly) meta-assembler.

as such
mircea_popescu: in short, mathematical (and to a large degree scientific, viz physics etc) education in the warsaw pact place-and-time degenerated into a trope of fiction. which is why "science fiction" was so loved in those parts of the world
as opposed to anywhere else.
mircea_popescu: in a sense, this is ~
as much
as we presently know~ of a ~perfect v tree".
mircea_popescu: so in truth we dunno, and
as of yet we're not in a splendid position to guess yet, either.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-17 06:41 mircea_popescu: The apparent murder of journalist Ahmed Divela is chilling. Ghana is recognized by many, including me,
as a vibrant, strong democracy and an example for the continent in many ways. " meanwhile in related lulz.
mircea_popescu: item
as pristine out of box has a dozen or so dimensions and subdimensions that hafta be fit into place, it's not ~really~ pret a porter (chiefly because one selling "all purpose cloth" can't sell it pre-cut)
a111: Logged on 2019-01-07 19:29 mircea_popescu: i suppose in this the model breaks down, with the advent of pseudo"technology", the shy withdrawing type can "HackerCombat LLC is a news site, which acts
as a source of information for IT security professionals across the world. We have lived it for more than 1 year since 2017, sharing IT expert guidance and insight, [...] " bla bla bla all day long.

diana_coman: but so uhm, it builds with a main fine but it fails if you try to build it
as a lib - why?
diana_coman: hm; earlier I used "standalone"
as "standalone lib" because there is such a thing: it means precisely that it includes ada run-time
diana_coman: asciilifeform, what do you mean by "build
as standalone"?
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 )
diana_coman: it was more of a confusion/mess rather than real problem
as such
☟︎ diana_coman: yes! I can link it static, I can link it dynamically, I can even build it all
as a monolithic piece
BingoBoingo suspects the speed of inter US ip traffic is
as good a reason
as any to route around US
mircea_popescu: dnc also works for
as long
as it doesn'thave to, and god knows the us army is built on that doctrine.
BingoBoingo: Poking suggests otherwise. It's a reverse proxy. It can be deployed
as a webserver and people deploy it
as that, but it was designed around a different job.
BingoBoingo: After spending substantial time
as a skeptic apache beats the "smarter" alternatives (lig
httpd, nginx, cherokee, etc)to apache
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's not nearly
as serious a problem in apache
as you seem to think.
mircea_popescu: one could also say "there's not THAT MANY PEOPLE, and if there are they can sure
as fuck wait". which, also fine.
mircea_popescu: and otherwise, the server actually spits out in excess of 2k pageloads / s,
as a matter of actuarial evidence.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform cycles/s or ram bytes about
as meaningful in this discussion, might
as well ask "how much free memory". no such thing, really.
mircea_popescu: atm eg doing ~220 connections / .1s sorta thing. the problem's the would-be attackers output capacity, not some kind of limit on trilema side. it'll serve
as much
as dood can send through.
mircea_popescu: sooo... while the right-honourable ingredients involved sit for a moment in a bowl to make friends with each other, allow me to describe for posterity what is right and properly known
as "the despration breakfast".
mircea_popescu:
as per ye olde omnibus->autobus broken etymologyu tradition.
a111: Logged on 2018-06-19 16:04 mircea_popescu: and we can keep going, but you get the idea. russians had managed to make themselves
as impopular
as humanly possible with the ~only martial neighbour it had at the time.
mircea_popescu: o wait -- did i say two negatives ? i meant "help
as to hinder".
mircea_popescu: it's amusing, if one takes a dispassionate look, how equally likely to hurt
as to hinder are parental best intentions.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-19 19:25 mircea_popescu: meanwhile in sad lulz,
https://www.blacktowhite.net/threads/moving-away-from-cuckold-into-stag-vixen.146933/ ("Are people moving away? I'm noticing a shift in ads, profiles and websites that I browse. No one is really looking for a cuckold thing anymore. I got enthralled with the cuckold fantasy and I would love to meet a couple that was for it. But Cuckolds couples are hard to find. Couples, single females are easier but
as mircea_popescu: and of course there's "dominate"
as a fucking noun. "she's a dominate".
mircea_popescu: nah. back in the day they used to spell "rogue" (the high fantasy playable character, right ?)
as "rouge", notwithstanding they spoke no french or anything
mircea_popescu:
as it is... i dunno, i suspect they'll starve, orange man doesn't seem inclined to continue the slop.
mircea_popescu: so i guess i switched historical priviledge for social priviledge
as i aged.
mircea_popescu: i do recall in youth was a lot less selective/priviledged, whichever way you look at it ; but somehow inexplicably stupidity not nearly
as organised or militant in same youth. i mean, fuck, girls back then were ASHAMED to sit with the mainstream, jesus fuck.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this particular one entirely unfuckable, tiny tits an' a belly. but in general, idiots have ~no chance of making it through anyway, so can't say
as i have.
mircea_popescu: your head will fall out through your arsehole if you attempt to meaningfully interact with something
as large
as to make that thing collapse into degenerate matter through a "3d visor" color interferer thingee.
mircea_popescu: to protest its carnality is
as protesting cunt's sliminess. it's "unwieldy" specifically because it works well.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform only "revived"
as a money sucker, afaik deployments still on off the shelf micro
mircea_popescu: in principle, for
as long
as that's not run out, the disk won't lose sectors. but then again, a definitive answer to this turns into debug-ssd-fw+kernel, which...
bvt: aha, i see. this would also involve lots function call inlining
as well
a111: Logged on 2019-01-20 16:23 asciilifeform:
as i noted previously -- i do not expect to find any moar ~asymptotic~ speedups for ffa algos , such that are relevant to the sizes of numbers typically used in public key crypto
bvt: my understanding is that asmism would go only for lower-level ffa code, i.e. barret/modexp will remain
as-is.
bvt:
as far
as code speed is concerned, i still don't know whether i fucked up something, or the algorithm is fundamentally slow after some bignum size
BingoBoingo: Well Orange Man is supposed to give a speech sometime today. Maybe it'll be the orders to deploy them
as southern border sandbags to fight Sinaloa/Zeta/Etc
mircea_popescu: far
as cuckold itself, it seems to be more niche than it was say 5 years ago. Why is that? I'm seeing this stag/vixen thing being mentioned a lot more when I read websites. I didn't even know that was a thing?").
