asciilifeform: ( even the places where it will get stuck, are quite predictable. one sticks magnetic rubber to the floor, it has reed switch and avoids )
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel: 'neato' vacuum doesn't do the random walk thing, it laser-scans the surrounding room (1d) and does edges, then colours 'in' the insides. pretty predictable.
asciilifeform: there's an ancient and now-unsupported closed warez turd. and a buncha open sores that dun work ~at all. ( on linux, i dun give a fuck what exists for microshit )
asciilifeform: ^ there does not currently exist a decent pcb cad. at. all.☟︎
asciilifeform: and i must disagree, 'neato''s vacuum cleaner worx pretty great.
asciilifeform: 'Antecedent companies are iRobot (ie roomba. founded 1990, IPO $100MN in 2005 at 24/share), Neato (raised 45MN, 2005, acquired by 'Vorwork', a German household appliances firm this Sept. Fiscal details unavailable). Both ventures attempted an 'AI' ...' << what means 'antecedent ventures' ?
asciilifeform: ( granted i could've filled it up with eatblock in <2days. but it's been some years since i synced 'from wild' and thought 'why not test..' )
asciilifeform: spends most of its time not having any notion that the next block exists.
asciilifeform: ERROR: AcceptToMemoryPool() : ConnectInputs failed d84dc3e02d etc.
asciilifeform: as it is, that thing spends 99% of cpu filling up disk with the familiar ERROR: ConnectInputs() : d84dc3e02d mapTransactions prev not found f74a08a53a

asciilifeform: ( ignoring for a moment the fact that if shitreich subject walks in with 1 btc, they will give 5k usd to him and 5k to clitler )
asciilifeform: yes a gox will give a plebe 10 ( 11? ) k if he comes in with 1. but beyond this.
asciilifeform: ignoring for a moment the folly of formulating btc-usd as a scalar ( picture if somebody were to show up with a million-btc buy or sell, say ) -- i have nfi what the actual, honest number is , nor any clue as to where such a thing might even be hidden
asciilifeform: lol i half-expected the cufflinks to read 'btc'
asciilifeform: !~later tell phf do you happen to have a copy of bolix's adatron src ? dun look like it's on the classical disk set, at least not in src form.
asciilifeform: which made the allocated memory too small by 4 bytes. The last struct member of the last object within the memory area could then be outside... ' etc
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in heathendom ! https://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_2017-af0a.html >> 'libcurl contains an out boundary access flaw in SSL related code. When allocating memory for a connection (the internal struct called connectdata), a certain amount of memory is allocated at the end of the struct to be used for SSL related structs ... The math used to calculate the extra memory amount necessary for the SSL library was wrong on 32 bit systems,
asciilifeform: ( dun think any of my opteron boxes know how to address >4MB of rom ~total~ , for instance. )
asciilifeform: see, gotta get not only auditable, but romable p. 4MB ball of ??? ain't romable.
asciilifeform: i suspect it's retarded in other ways tho, and will have to be cured in the end
asciilifeform: ( i also haven't fully verified that the self-building mode is able to insert ~no~ spurious deps, in stock gnat )
asciilifeform: q nao is which gnat to patch -- and take as a pet, and genesis etc
asciilifeform: there is a mode ( see also log ) where it doesn't insert anything, that is used traditionally to compile gnat itself. but there it hard-enforces adacore's weird style scheme, and cannot be forced not to. i'ma have to patch.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-29#1744066 << ~all the detail in yesterday's log. gnat inserts dependencies on the rts even when not only not used but pragma-restricted against e.g. secondarystack, elaboration, stringism, taskism☝︎
asciilifeform: including the oblig 'hey, i get away with it' 'because you ain't under the microscope'
asciilifeform: i dun need a barrel of green for anything ( the only place i can spend it here, is the veggie market. and at airport they confiscate any over 10k . ) nor is depositolade in usgbank of any use, obummer immediately claims half
asciilifeform: the only thing asciilifeform would ever consider spending coinz on, is a perma-ticket out of the shitreich.
asciilifeform: ( there is not , for perfectly fundamental reasons, a compiler that can be blindly trusted -- to work correctly, not even speaking of thompsonism here )
asciilifeform: safety-critical coad gets binaudited, even in heathendom
