ben_vulpes: threw me, this is a novel invention in the states to speed up parts wear and mildew growth
ben_vulpes: you say "stupid rotating faraday cage thing, horizontal", as in a front-loading washer?
mircea_popescu: it dun have a centrifuge, it sucks the water out inertially. ie, as it lifts the clothes they lose water. ☟︎☟︎
ben_vulpes: does your drum still spin to do a pre-dry extraction?
mircea_popescu: it has a spinning tower with fins, vertical.
mircea_popescu: speaking of, i'm a huge fan of the tower arrangements.
ben_vulpes: well there's the washer, and the dryer, and the latter's probably a 'high efficiency' model that doesn't actually get anything dry on the first run
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-08#1652750 << dude wtf, i've not seen a machine that takes AN HOUR since the 90s. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-07#1652728 << yup. because violence works. if you notice a coupla pretty chicks in a group of libertards, you go break the nose of a coupla dudes "for no reason" / "that was totally uncalled for and not necessary!!!1" and they'll all beeline to suck your cock : the chicks, and the dudes. ☝︎
ben_vulpes: now i have to make a pair or a struct or something and then another function that eats that and returns a bool
ben_vulpes: this was two lines of code with a lambda
ben_vulpes: remove_copy_if takes a unary predicate
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-07#1652709 << i grew up literally in the library of my parents' house, they put my bed there when i was 12 or something. 5-6k tomes or thereabouts. i've not kept a house with books the past decade nevertheless, nor do i intend to. ☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: gotta wonder, these were all scrapped ? or a few remain.
asciilifeform: at one point su even had a custom sprayer warhead, even
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: a 'city' in america doesn't 'win'. it 'brings more voices to the table'.
ben_vulpes: way the heck upstack; BingoBoingo i have determined that "crack-o-my-ass" county late summer county fair has a talent competition, gospel competition, but as far as i've bothered to look so far, no amateur ag competition
asciilifeform: a city doesn't win from bipedal turds walking loose, any more than it wins from ordinary turds on sidewalk.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, the most reliable treatment for addiction is conversion therapy (i.e. removing the obsession through a spiritual experience), this requires as a prerequisite a "rock bottom" experience. Adversity is the kindest thing you can offer.
BingoBoingo: It's the same as alf's squirrel fixation. The junkie in the throes of addiction is a pest control problem.
ben_vulpes: while very visible, those folks are a vanishingly small fraction of the population
ben_vulpes: that's a real wrist-slitter
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: a russian-american friend of mine lives in a house with math books everywhere.
ben_vulpes: if you give enough of a shit about bot commands, operate your own bot, give it whatever commands you want it to have
gabriel_laddel_p: Took a shower & nap.
BingoBoingo: <gabriel_laddel_p> Just wanted to report that I'm in a house with the SSID "Thiel Master", there are no interesting books, the pool is broken, the front yard is destroyed and some idiot was "dirtbiking" on it when I showed up. << Take some pictures and maybe I submit a quote to fix the yard?
phf`: he was assassinated by a muslim, roughly the same time when another dutch, theo van gogh got knifed by a muslim for making anti-muslim short movie
phf`: amusingly that was back when the left loved pim fortuyn, who was a homosexual and ran on a platform of transparent government through technology. he was also fiercely anti-muslim and anti-multiculralist.
phf`: relatedly back when i was part of a hackerspace we had a visitor from a scandinavia with all kinds of whacky projects like that. part art, part "direct action", part prank. i asked him how he got paid for this, he laughed and said that everything that he does is funded entirely by government grants
Framedragger: very nice. not a lot of uhh modulation (i guess is the word) possible. but cool
phf`: it's very odd, considering how much space those mcmansions have. i mean, you could devote a whole room to a library!
phf`: oh i lie, i have a friend whose parents are an astrophysicist and a literature something or other phd. they have a hoard (but much smaller hoard than say an equivalent russian botanik family, where the house is nothing but books)
asciilifeform: ( it was dead for about half a day )

asciilifeform: but never designed. a fungus.
mircea_popescu: nah, ~same as php. processes strings to spit out on a gui.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes here's the thing : without review of what the compiler spits out of it, you can't actually know whether the change won't create a split down the road.
ben_vulpes: taking hours to find a node with specific blocks apparently: http://logs.bvulpes.com/chainstate?d=2017-5-7#f5cbbb73-8e72-4c6e-abfa-d8246ba37eed ☟︎
ben_vulpes: ya slip a white tee over the outlet and change it when it stops getting darker
mircea_popescu: i got this poor guy here, cleans the pool every day. (it rains, tropical torrential rain. thing gets washed full of everything. he pickls them back out). whole thing gives me trouble, on one hand i'd like to tell him to nevermind, on the other im not sure it's such a good idea.
mircea_popescu: how can a pool be broken anyway ? someone drove a truck into it ?
mircea_popescu: what's a ssid thiel master ?

asciilifeform remembers idiot '90s copyrasty ad : 'you wouldn't download a car' -- to which folx replied, 'i would, motherfucker, if i could!'
asciilifeform: how do i clone a car.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-07 14:33 asciilifeform: but did not register a name, still not in wot. mega-unsurprise.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-07#1652618 << one ass-backwards at a time! ☝︎
asciilifeform: in related lulz, https://archive.is/BSxkv >> 'At least 30 active-duty service members could face punishment as a result of the “Marines United” nude photo scandal that rocked the U.S. armed forces in early March, a Corps spokesman announced Friday.'
asciilifeform: Ls, women in Marine infantry units and females in the field artillery (even though most cannot carry a 155mm round) are just some of the insanity...'
asciilifeform: in other lulz, https://archive.is/xTT1y >> 'Since, 1991, the US military has been slowly coming apart at the seams. Stress cards, open homosexuality, transgenders on active duty, sensitivity training, pregnancy simulators for male troopers, lactation stations in the field, babies born on US ships of war, female graduates of Ranger School, including a 37 year old mother (it’s funny how the women looked so well fed), women in the SEA
phf`: those university solaris systems were cool because of the afs mount points. it sort of reminded me of my first dialup-into-shell internet connection: a narrow bandwidth gateway into this really rich worl
phf`: my oldest surviving config is a tcshrc i wrote for my umd shell account

a111: Logged on 2017-05-07 05:43 fromloper: Well I got gdb working with the probe, but I can't seem to get the probe to work with the board. If I plug in the probe to the board, the board hangs. If i try continue I just get a bunch of ffffffs. If I do monitor run it says the probe is not connected. Here is a verbose output: https://pastebin.com/qWTwMuF5
a111: Logged on 2017-05-05 17:12 trinque: Framedragger: https://github.com/o2platform/chrome-repl << ever see this? might be a way to snag teh html tag's outerHTML
a111: Logged on 2017-05-05 15:20 trinque: sure. Framedragger meanwhile with a headless chrome will have all the attack surface anybody ever wanted
Framedragger: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-05#1652129 << and yeah this is PROBABLY the way to get burned. asciilifeform imagined the archiver as a "public whore prostitute", a box which can be exposed to exploits and malware, but that's even more dirty. (that said, may be the way to go.) ☝︎
Framedragger: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-05#1652110 << and yeah to be clear i did skip this consciously, knowing that i'd be stepping into a swamp. and while i'd very much like to embrace http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-05#1652126 , it is the case that i'd like to be able to archive shitsites which don't render without JS. ☝︎☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-04-05 17:34 phf: Framedragger: yes, archive.is is a headless webkit. it loads the page with all the resources, it lets the javascript run until the DOM is in some "final" state, it snapshots the DOM. at this point you no longer need javascript to further render page
Framedragger: rehi, finally almost-summer here (hey it's a big deal here when it's not mist and misery more than 50% of the week), frolicking in the sun :)
phf`: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-07#1652529 << michael jackson was a pioneer and a visionary ☝︎

asciilifeform: gotta be a gag
asciilifeform: 'A new home for your SSH private key'
asciilifeform: fromloper: problem is, there ain't a usable fpga
fromloper: There are open source FPGA 68ks that are pretty small. You might be able to fit 16 on a relatively small one.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i've long wanted to design a ~new~ 68k box.
fromloper: Bingo, I'm not saying there isn't a market, but it's not really where my interest is. The ideal is to find interest and market fit. If it was just about money I would just go work for google.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: back when i actually gave a shit, i looked for a copy of the relevant shitware. never found.
mircea_popescu: yes. his idea is, and perhaps not without merit, that by getting the bundle he names you might be able to salvage a driver.
fromloper: Be back in a bit. Gotta reboot and see if I can find a GD that won't crash with the smartprobe.
fromloper: I think the older ones had a shittier abstraction layer though. The python C# one is easy to reverse.
fromloper: I don't think the current version does anymore. All the FPGA images are XDP3 or XDP4. I know older versions of System Debugger had support for older XDPs. If you have a student email you can get System Studio for free and it has access to older versions which might support it.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes one day you'll get to read military ballistics software, have a lol.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: have a homework. find me where to get new 68k outside of usa.
fromloper: The ptsecurity guys did a talk on it.
fromloper: You can get a trial of System Studio which comes with System Debugger. System Debugger sucks, but the debug layer is there underneath in python and C#, so you have pretty direct access to JTAG if you want to RE it.
fromloper: They have a "restricted" level NDA which is above the normal. You need to acually talk to people about your project insead of just signing up a webform. I'll look at Arium / Lauterbauch / Intel PDT if I get past POC and find some investors ;-)
mircea_popescu: and it still doesn't work worth a shit.
fromloper: Their private debugger is $5k a year though.
asciilifeform: humour my curiosity-- what's a 'heavier nda' ?
fromloper: I'm at an inital research stage at this point if it pans out they have a heavier NDA and you can buy the private tools. At this point I'm just doing proof of concept so I don't want to invest too much if it doesn't pan out.
fromloper: mircea, because their public docs are shit and NDA just means I want share their secret shit. It's not a big deal to me.
fromloper: NDA doesn't cost anything. You just need to be a company.
fromloper: The ideal will be if Intel fixes their BIOS, because then it would be a supported option on a mainstream system.
ben_vulpes: forgive me but what is a vcc?
fromloper: I powered it up, which got rid of the overcurrent error, but it couldn't read the chip. Maybe a bad clip and or the TL866a isn't up to the task. Kind of a novice at these things.
fromloper: I tried seeing if I could reprogram it via a TL866a but VCC isn't wired for in system programming and I didn't want to cut the trace on a system I might need to return
asciilifeform: get a rom burner and crocodile clip like normal people
asciilifeform: ( if it's soldered down, use a crocodile )
fromloper: There is a bug in Gigabyte's NUCs where they left DCI half enabled. Unfortuntly I bricked the one I had.
asciilifeform: fromloper: intel is mostly a waste of time imho
fromloper: Also looking at trying to get a Skylake/Kabylake with DCI enabled (JTAG over USB) since that just requires a USB 3 debug cable. The Intel NUC's have a bios setting "Silicon Debug Feature" but although it sets the debug MSR, it doesn't appear to set the PCH register correctly, and the PCH register is locked by the time it gets out of BIOS.
mircea_popescu: fromloper consider getting a proper name / registering your pgp key with deedbot while at it.
fromloper: Found though google. My main use for the probe is to have a cheap x86 JTAG device for VMM development
fromloper: Now to see if I can find a gdb that works ;-)
asciilifeform: decompiles ok , though, so you can crack it without breaking a sweat if you felt like it.
fromloper: Thank so much. Do you know if there is a bypass for the EDK?
asciilifeform: you have a cured probe, enjoy
