asciilifeform: you're on a 32bit box ??

asciilifeform: diana_coman: the example was written on a box with adacore's gnat; the stock gnu one is stricter, doesn't permit Foo'Image -- instead you gotta FooTypeName'Image(Foo) ☟︎

mircea_popescu: i dunno. somewhat of a game of chicken, lots of "valuable" real estate piled up there. saudi arabia is particularly frail, if rockets start falling in capital the whole saudi nonsense will prolly end.

diana_coman: hmmm; asciilifeform at a quick make (on a machine where I played with Ada successfully - if little - before) I get this: http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/lMtJf/?raw=true

mircea_popescu: besides, iran as a russian proxy seems to be ready to ship

mircea_popescu: i don't get it, i thought qatar was a peninsula.

asciilifeform: ( makes a 1G mmap, and twiddles a byte therein )

asciilifeform: comes with a small test routine, see horsecocks.adb.

asciilifeform: ( comes with makefile & a little bit of commentary )

a111: Logged on 2017-04-02 15:46 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-02#1635918 << i suspect alf has a very strong bias pro algae and anti bacteria. i'm not altogether convinced the view has any merit.

mircea_popescu: in the end it's just a very incompetent bacterium

mircea_popescu: anyway, the idea of "better cell" is inescapable for even cursory qualified microbiologist, chiefly because cell really is a pile of accidentally functioning complexity.

BingoBoingo: Nah, it's a rather identifiable enging stopping sound

asciilifeform: i suppose if your auto is a leaf blower

asciilifeform: i.e. the thing was jumpered out 'for a reason'

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: fashionable, in those days, idea, was to 'make unaging tissue' by reenabling telomerase (normally jumpered out, in most tissue). but -- somewhat unsurprisingly -- it turned out to be a 'glue the gas gauge needle to 'full'' sort of thing

asciilifeform: this, now that i think of it, is a universal annoyance, in other walks of life also

asciilifeform: apparently a tru winner : asciilifeform couldn't even make a methuselah bone marrow stem cell, had to leave the entire business !111

trinque: mmm, who can bring himself to believe that these people had some report of "omg russian hax" and it was a matter of normal procedure, and not disinfo, to hand them to Miss Reality.

BingoBoingo: "@kanyewest you should make a shirt that says, "being white is terrorism""

mircea_popescu: loller. is she looking for a black master to slavegirl @ etc ?

trinque: don't even have to have them in on the plan, just put a bunch of "super srs" looking docs in her hand.

BingoBoingo: "There are many Americans protesting US govt aggression towards Iran. If our Tangerine in Chief declares war, we stand with you!" << Pro-Iran and gets a seekoority clearance ☟︎

BingoBoingo: So the politics of "Reality Winner" is a bottomless lulz spiral. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: see ? it's a quid pro quo like that, "yes $badthing, but then $goodthing". whereas here ... it's 100% "hey, want to cut your arm off so you could have an eye gouged out???" "no bitch."

mircea_popescu: dude, joining the nazi purebloods did mean you gotta eat nothing but leeks for a whole saturday to hang out with the nuts at their all-mineral-water parties. ok.

mircea_popescu: no, i understand how the in-story narrative goes. i'm talking about reality for a moment.

mircea_popescu: what the fuck else is even the point. going to harvard like that is like going to the supermarket to pay to stock their shelves. ain't what a fucking supermarket is.

asciilifeform: 'A few examples of posts that the Harvard Crimson cites are posts referring to hanging a Mexican child as “piñata time,” and posts mocking sexual assault or the Holocaust. These are all things that are part of common discourse on some terrible parts of the internet. Yet they are not part of common discourse at Harvard, or the administration doesn’t want them to be.'

asciilifeform: 'At least 10 students who had been accepted as members of Harvard’s Class of 2021 have already learned an important lesson about real-life consequences for online behavior. They had their offers of admission rescinded after the college learned that they had been posting wildly inappropriate memes on a private Facebook group. Here, “wildly inappropriate” means any combination of racist, bigoted, sexually explicit, or violent.'

danielpbarron: but i think even if you accidentally agree to use changes, it'll put them in a ._* hidden file that you still have to manually mv to the correct place

trinque: -a apparently meaning --ask-to-fuck-in-ass

trinque: sadly, the -a flag will also happily ask you if you want it to unmask, add use flags, etc

trinque: in that case mask whole package without a version

asciilifeform: is that when you build a thing that 'wants to haul it in' it barfs instead

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-06#1666500 << i build 1.4.10 by hand, typically, it's a straight ./configure && make && make install ☝︎

asciilifeform: a real thing of beauty (other than for the miserable lcd)

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-06#1666470 << traditionally there is a chumpatronic component, even in the immediate term : the thing has to 'vest' (if you don't work at $firm for X years, it matches 0 ) ☝︎

trinque: no, that appears to ban greater than a particular 2.x

trinque: also my recipe caps gnupg at a 1.x

trinque: mod6: nls is a string lookup thinger for translation; icu is yep, unicode thinger for iirc hieroglyph support

a111: Logged on 2017-06-06 16:14 lobbes: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-06#1666247 << fwiw, I have a saved copy; I will host/post later tonight for curious members of audience (unless someone beats me to it)

lobbes: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-06#1666247 << fwiw, I have a saved copy; I will host/post later tonight for curious members of audience (unless someone beats me to it) ☝︎☟︎

mircea_popescu: "oh no, but nobody could have predicted that" + "it's just a life, it's not MY life" + etc.

mircea_popescu: and if experience with the empire of "i just want to" lazy idiots is any guide, they're DEFINITELY not going to "get in trouble for buying microsoft". because "nobody could have predicted" and "they were just doing their job" which "hey man, it's just a gig, it's not my life!" ☟︎☟︎

trinque: "the intercept" is meanwhile very much not a propaganda outlet / honeypot.

mircea_popescu: also, imbeciles, really, they published originals ? because why, nobody owns a single fucking secretary anymore they're so god damned rich ?

trinque: http://archive.is/ol9m4 << "The dollar index touched a seven-month low ahead of testimony before Congress from former FBI director James Comey on Thursday."

trinque: I've seen instances before where a guy made a tool, went around to a few folks showing them "the greatestest X" thinking "they're smart, will pick up my tool and use"

asciilifeform: it was tricky enough to make 'republican rng', an item closer in order of complexity, to a knife or a fork, than to a comp

asciilifeform: ( i haven't a nintendo yet, at least!111 )

mircea_popescu: it's a fortunate thing, then, that nobody's making you do anything.

asciilifeform: fact: FG would not exist if i had to design and test it on a winblowz box.

asciilifeform: ( would need a rs232 FUCKGOATS attached )

asciilifeform: e.g. i fully intend a dos port of 'p'.

asciilifeform: trinque: there was a thread, at one point, with philosophical puzzle -- if chained to wheelbarrow at butugychag, would you rather have one with spikes on handles, or not. or something to this effect.

mircea_popescu: tis a bitter pill this, "computing never actually worked. ever. period."

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-06#1666349 << spoken like a true 'my comp is ipad with keyboard' fella. ☝︎

asciilifeform: btw there is a dbus-remover patch for chromium, somewhere

asciilifeform: the important bit is that it has to be done on a ~virginal~ gentoo

asciilifeform: (i.e. resulted in a very usable box, that i still use every day)

asciilifeform: now you might try same recipe, cum a gcc5 ban

asciilifeform: 'The use of Git and SSL/TLS sets a very high barrier for in-flight tampering. This is not the point of discussion.' lel

gabriel_laddel_p: If you google for "funtoo distfiles mirror" and review all google results, should provide a decent start.

asciilifeform: i'ma hazard a guess, that you will barf long before ever succeeding in actually tracking down 100% of the src that adds up to a given rathead install.

asciilifeform: and point out -- afaik there was never a 'whole world' mirror.

asciilifeform: ( gentoo per se automates a good chunk of the work. iterate over xorgs until one builds with gcc4... )

mircea_popescu: not a sane use of our limited resources.

asciilifeform: trinque: a finite # of these releases, existed... theoretically could try'em all

trinque: asciilifeform: same reason you barfed writing a lisp for x86

asciilifeform: and noshit it won't 'emerge video', a stock gentoo won't suck in closed crapolade

a111: Logged on 2017-06-03 02:47 asciilifeform: in such a way as to judas goat the authors of said code to rewrite it such that it DEMANDS the new 'improved' compiler.

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: and likewise no one ( or at the very least, nkt asciilifeform ) knows of a moment in time when it was wholly healthy, with 0 wormy bits

mircea_popescu: whole fucking log is a slow, grindsing field report of "united nations has an office for combatting independence, not obesity".

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: afaik there has never existed a full portage archive. some crud or other is always 'elsewhere'.

ben_vulpes: would be neat to hear a field report

phf: i keep losing ascii's original gentoo recipe. anybody got a link handy?

asciilifeform: incidentally BingoBoingo -- imho encouraging these folx to take up motorcycle is a wholesome thing

mircea_popescu: fuyck that shit. there's no need for a "united nations office of organized crime".

asciilifeform: this is a little bit like complaining re ants, when kitchen has not been cleaned since reagan

BingoBoingo: No instead as soon as you invoke "suspension" in a string google/Bing/CuckCuckGo all return fatso pandering

mircea_popescu: the fatsos are really offensive by now with their "oh, i have a right to exist" bullshit.

BingoBoingo: FUCK YOU, STOP WEIGHING A WHOLE 'NOTHER VEHICLE!!!

BingoBoingo: " Yes Suzuki, I am FAT! 315 pounds and my passenger is another 225, plus 50 pounds of our junk to carry for a total of 590 pounds on my 08 Burgman 400! My 400 is great on power, but supension is weak, even when set on 7 (the highest setting). We need a VERY HEAVY DUTY SUSPENSION FOR THE BURGMAN 400!" << "Get rid of the 400 ... Problem solved"

mircea_popescu: mostly a testament on how ~useless weaporny is.

a111: Logged on 2016-12-07 17:35 trinque knows a person who owns a weimaraner, thing paces in her back yard back and forth between back door and window so much there's no grass in the path, has various other compulsions

asciilifeform: 'you think ~you~ don't live in a zoo

asciilifeform: trinque: iirc this was more of a neoteny / stuck-development thing

a111: Logged on 2017-06-05 19:13 mircea_popescu: yeah. they got a dictionary of "+ev words", whereby if you say $word it creates +value in the mind of specific sort of imbecile.

erlehmann: what does “~” in front of a word mean? like here: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-05#1666145 ☝︎

mircea_popescu: but yes, this will be the enduring legacy of the ustardian "culture", such as it is : a really large attempt to calculate the sum-value of strings of words. because "the alternative is hard" and besides "this kinda works".

mircea_popescu: or a few.

mircea_popescu: you can't claim google-style "ai" is a scam when it simply does EXACTLY what average-voter does to decide who to vote for, average-idiot to pick his friends, average-office-drone to pick employees etc.

mircea_popescu: which also takes the problem home : bayesian faux intelligence is not, per se, a scam. the whole thing is simply the application of tractors to what the dorks already did anyway in their internal forum.

mircea_popescu: "artificial intelligence", a sort of modern kaballism really, is ~nothing else.

mircea_popescu: this is what they do, fill a coupla pages with "good words" at school / unemployment office / whatever.

mircea_popescu: "oh look dad, he produced the string "responsibility". he can't be a useless pothead. o look, thgere goes, "the future"!!!1 let's give him more money".

mircea_popescu: yeah. they got a dictionary of "+ev words", whereby if you say $word it creates +value in the mind of specific sort of imbecile. ☟︎

asciilifeform: there oughta be a museum... of failed financial tech

mircea_popescu: i suppose a lifetime of save scumming creates strange mental habits in the pikachus.
