asciilifeform: lol just when i thought mircea_popescu had linked to every possible type of tmblr
gabriel_laddel_p: trinque: I read your email and filed it under "never gonna happen".
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: https://annoyinglysparklyreview.tumblr.com/ < if you look into the tumblr tags she uses you can track where the meth routes are in CA. people post pictures all the time. I have FACES of dealers a few miles from me.
gabriel_laddel_p: mircea_popescu: I don't like the regular stuff (adderall).
gabriel_laddel_p: fking annoying b/c it is EVERYWHERE around here, but I simply don't know anyone. Eg there was a 200lb meth bust miles from where I am staying.
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: if only I had amphetamines I'd have a place to sleep...
trinque: I sit here in a town full of oil business
trinque: gabriel_laddel_p: perhaps read the email when I bother to write you back
asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel_p: this type of life has worked for programmers (e.g., rms, though he did eventually turn into a human mushroom, and i do not think it was pure chance)
trinque: gabriel_laddel_p: I proposed something to you, did I not?
asciilifeform: it really helps in re making hardware, i swear
gabriel_laddel_p: tbh I would have thought phf would have seen the masamune video & flown out here to get his free install the next day, but apparently the rest of you are less excited about this than I am ☟︎
gabriel_laddel_p: trinque: I have not forgotten about #masamune either, but life moves slower than I want it to/thought it would.
gabriel_laddel_p: trinque: I wrote most of the code, got a machine to host it, and.... a bunch of nonsense has prevented me from getting to sf and setting it up.
gabriel_laddel_p: I know nothing about hardware. All I've got is a list of log lines where you talk about hardware that sucks less, and each and every time I record it.
gabriel_laddel_p: Anyways, that's the sort of stuff I'm on the lookout for when I say "incrementally swap out the underlying hardware".
asciilifeform: i'd luvv to play with greenarrays, but refrained because i'm quite certain they will not outlive chuck moor
gabriel_laddel_p: Am going to the FIG meetup group again to see if I can get a few for free...
asciilifeform: tricky to port something to it, if you dun have one. (i'm not aware of there being an emulator)
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: I'm thinking of the document ben_vulpes dropped in the logs, which iirc runs on the greenarrays chip.
asciilifeform: trinque: i've always wondered who drives against traffic, and why. perhaps -- a brit
asciilifeform: (i.e. is not valid raw verilog)
trinque: mircea_popescu: downtown's great, welcomed me back last night with watching somebody drive wrong way up a one way road on the sidewalk to get to the burger joint I was at
asciilifeform: i'll buy right now. where are they.
asciilifeform: where, for example, do i buy a nic that doesn't dma ? or a cpu that works with it.
gabriel_laddel_p: Now that the "UX" is in some sense complete, I'm studying so the hardware can be swapped out from under it, exactly in the manner described by mircea_popescu earlier today.
gabriel_laddel_p: asciilifeform: Exactly. Which is what is needed. For the record, "paving over the swamp" is coming along great, and that metaphore is wholly inadaquate for what I'm doing.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-23 19:44 phf: in totally unrelated, i just learned that bash (and ksh) support "Brace Expansion", e.g. {0..3} => 0 1 2 3 or {a..d} => a b c d.
ben_vulpes: yeah i mean it makes as much sense as any of the other magic green lock stuff
ben_vulpes: hyu, no i did not know
asciilifeform: ( for how long nao ? i seem to recall that even gavin barfed, originally, from this, it was how hearn was booted out ..? )
Framedragger: here i have seq but no jot. i see, so no guarantee
doppler: nah, not as far as I know
ben_vulpes: this i gotta see
doppler: dude I know from another channel
doppler: I use seq all the time when I write posix sh scripts (brace expansion is specific to certain shells)
Framedragger: doppler: ah right, seq is actually a binary, fancy that (so works outside bash - hence why various .sh scripts use seq instead of bash's {} i guess, to be more compatible? just a guess)
phf: i wonder how i've managed to never notice it. i use seq all over my scripts, and i have an own copy of seq too. i wonder how many times i was missing my seq just to fallback to stock :o
phf: i've never seen it used either, saw an example of it in recent poc||gtfo
phf: i have a tool in my scripts folder, seq (e.g. seq 0 100) that does the same thing, and that i end up rewriting every once in a while
asciilifeform: phf: interesting, and i don't recall ever seeing it used
phf: actually there's more in the relevant section, but these two use cases i've often missed, and have no idea how i didn't know about them till now
phf: in totally unrelated, i just learned that bash (and ksh) support "Brace Expansion", e.g. {0..3} => 0 1 2 3 or {a..d} => a b c d. ☟︎
asciilifeform: 'Also included in this release is the manual for the CIA's "NightSkies 1.2" a "beacon/loader/implant tool" for the Apple iPhone. Noteworthy is that NightSkies had reached 1.2 by 2008, and is expressly designed to be physically installed onto factory fresh iPhones. i.e the CIA has been infecting the iPhone supply chain of its targets since at least 2008.'
asciilifeform: understand, i very much wish to live to see mircea_popescu's prediction come alive
mircea_popescu: yeah. it suffered mightily in what i called "final engineering". great food badly packaged so to speak
mircea_popescu: way i figure it intel owes tmsr about 1bn in license fees, royalties and late penalties.
asciilifeform: ^ is exactly how i see not only intel, but pci, usb, et al.
mircea_popescu: i ain't implementing nobody's standards for free.
mircea_popescu: because i sure as fuck don't want "free trade" and "open whatever" and "accessiblity" if what that means is that intel gets to rule it.
mircea_popescu: this notion that i will support the wintel FOR FREE is the lolz of all time. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform they called the first playstation psx back i nthe day. then they cannibalized it later on.
phf: i'll check it out
asciilifeform: the gabriel_laddel approach -- 'oh hey i'll just pave over the swamp, nothing will ever fall through the pavement' -- also does not work, and is quite destructive to the sanity of folks who attempt it
asciilifeform: i do not yet know a pill against it.
mircea_popescu: just mp-style "i can see the future but can't explain it to you, back to work."
asciilifeform: i thought about getting one with amd g-series -- and was at the point of seriously attempting it when the latter began to show signs of death

mircea_popescu: !~google dolitte "if i were a rich man"
asciilifeform: not long ago i saw a photo of some american mega-rich d00d, forget who, and nobody cares, his refrigerator, was full of synthetic 'budveiser' beer ☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: yeah i just meant re the fucking video bus
mircea_popescu: and once it did ship it, commodore i mean, it became less relevant nor more so.
asciilifeform: sort of where i ended up, in this line of thought
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's ok, if i feel the need to http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-20#1629701 i'll just pick up an ipad. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: wich is why i say, may be good to have rs aside.
asciilifeform: (there are konsoomer-ready boxes for this, i had a bunch when working with the lab robot)
a111: Logged on 2017-03-23 00:12 asciilifeform: if i ever make the fpgaized thing, it sure as fuck won't bother trying to drive an lcd or eat keyboard, wtf, just speak x11.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i told you we have the concepts.
mircea_popescu: keep things simple. i'd rather see a bank of eight upt and another bank of 64 rs holes on the machine than the current bs.
mircea_popescu: computer-i can has rs for slow or ethernet for fast, and thassit.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i was not laughing at all. dead serious.
asciilifeform: having banged my head against subj for decade+ now, i'd be interested in hearing of one i haven't yet thought of.
asciilifeform: (still doesn't exist, and is actually the ~only reason i even said 'need foundry')
asciilifeform: it wants the bus, or no pasaran. i know, sad.
asciilifeform: but i'd prefer to help x86 die, not to build elaborate new life support for it.
trinque: I certainly concede the point that there's no sane way the kernel build process could go other than "better pack in everything" and then snip.
asciilifeform: often there are subsystems, i'll give concrete example:
trinque: I'm not about to defend whatever gay decisions linus allowed
asciilifeform: trinque: i'm not even that far along, currently trying to determine what your idea ~was~
trinque: aha, I'd at least like "look, network driver is the last thing you may ever load"
asciilifeform: what i'd like is : 1) 'hardware not present? MODULE DOESN'T LOAD. EVER' 2) modules can be loaded, but strictly 1ce per boot.
trinque: it is what I said after all
asciilifeform: ( i have genuinely nfi, q for everyone tuned in )
asciilifeform: trinque: i wonder if there is a means of making modules loadable ONCE per boot
trinque: sure, use it for dev I guess
mircea_popescu: i wish i came up with that. could do like... logins over http and shit!
mircea_popescu: i guess it is. you were just uncharacteristically nice about it.
asciilifeform: ain't this exactly what i said re the bolix collectors ?
asciilifeform: i dare say i succeeded, in 'populating head'
asciilifeform: yes, inside my head -- i have.
mircea_popescu: this being the substance of the whoile discussion since yest : you claimed to want something you showed you have ; i deduced the confusion must be resolved. "concepts" in the sense of "metaconsiderations" aren't interesting ; concepts in the sense of concepts you already have.
mircea_popescu: yes but i suspect you don't actually know what the word "concept" means.
asciilifeform: i did carefully point out that , e.g., http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-23#1631528 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: if the only way to get a kock gpgtron was to dig one out of the one clothing store in utah that accidentally got all the 18 evcer produced and sells one now and again when they stumble on the box in the basement -- would your idea of the gpgtron be closer or further from your current, and correct, idea of it ? which, unless i lost track, goes along the rails of "nothing in there is salvageable ; full rewrite" ?
mircea_popescu: i'm making a broader point using a rhetorical device.
mircea_popescu: wtf do i want a handblown crt for! and how much of it was ~the equivalent ?
mircea_popescu: i know. kinda why i said.
asciilifeform: there's a biological immunity, i suspect
mircea_popescu: in retrospect, i can't believe my eyes lived through it.
shinohai: I want a trinquetron
