BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> enjoy << I've come back to a great lol. Only one of the three major local parties appears to not have a clear winner. http://bingology.net/2019/05/26/overview-of-local-electoral-politics-heading-into-the-impending-party-internals/#selection-27.0-27.476 << The Frente's presumptive nominee looks like he'll come up just short of 40% and the Frente is going to a contested convention, may have multiple candidates on the
asciilifeform: if not proceed, then i haven't what to give. and mircea_popescu aint wrong, atm he is in person 90% of the customers.
asciilifeform: loox like something else ? does diana_coman want e.g. the mips draft, what w/ some unknown % of bugginess ? for what ?
asciilifeform: next mp_en_viaje will 'sack' the 30% of piz that snsa owns, an' take smg (the item that functions on proper schedule, like train station, where the employees actually paid and dun slave in saeculum) to heathen isp;
asciilifeform: sooo mp_en_viaje doesn't like running sovok fish counter circa 1991, where there aint any fish. and per the charter, owns in effect 100% of controlling shares, so entirely his decision.
mp_en_viaje: perhaps. it seems entirely unlikely it blew up through foreign agency. it seems perfectly likely it blew up through accumulation of failure. if a) you have an official error tolerance of 1% and b) your dying empire is calling 3.7% '1%" and c) you start stacking chairs more than 3 layers tall, well... it'll blow up x% of the time "inexplicably" every time, and the x is a function of the chair tallness.
mp_en_viaje: (not proposing here there's an organised thinking portion. but one day maybe they get a mp that cares and do organize, the 100% most likely to messiah place in the current world)
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-29#1920588 << this is the substance of the whole jeans/rocknroll discussion, as well as the theme of integration. ☝︎

asciilifeform: re: the memoirs -- ~90% of asciilifeform's bedtime reading for 10+ yrs nao. but found much moar value in the memoirs of ~people who did things, with own hands~, chemists, tank commanders, pilots, etc, than in the 'famous in west' power players, which invariably have the flavour of 'i am kako, once was great but unjustly dethroned, read my butthurts!'
asciilifeform: good chunks of which, incidentally, the 'western narrative' bought into -- 'hook, line, and sinker', e.g. the Official nato reich history of stalin era takes hrusch's revisionism at 100% face value
mp_en_viaje: (perhaps also worth the mention : soviets have the cult of the memoir, and they generally do a much better, or at least differently broken job than the current ustards, who are similarily afflicted. both kosigin [soviet economic main man, a sorta ru isarescu] and gromyko [ur-diplomat of teh soviet union, so strong he's broken into popcult] wrote memoirs ; they're prolly the highest payoff per time sp
mp_en_viaje: billymg, lotta people do that, i'd sat 40% actually make any money. like, ever.
asciilifeform: i find it interesting, how typical sovok orc is incurable believer in 'skip icecream cone, save the dough', and that it is ~more~ common among the older folx, who in fact watched 1, 2, or even 3 episodes of 100% evaporation of savings during 'currency rebasings' etc
asciilifeform: physical economy hits wall, and yet some folx still want to 'financier', offer 'jam tomorrow' (despite no supply of jam even today, much less any reason to think will arrive tomorrow) , imho it aint happenstance that good % of konsoomer spare change in '90s ru went to 'mmm' & other pyramids, somehow lotsa folx eager to share in the delusion
asciilifeform: rright but that's, what, 1% of what's needed to terraform
mp_en_viaje: half the people here / 100% of the people doing anything are muslim / black.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i 99% expect it ~will~ get snipped from the asm branch.
bvt: re ~2.5x speedup: for 8-indeces-threshold asm comba makes up only ~25% of runtime, rest is spent in karatsuba squaring
bvt: i agree. i played a bit with the code, arrived at slightly cleaner (and sub-1% faster) code for multiplication, seems that the performance is close to the hw limit (at least at 32 Indices Comba-Karatsuba threshold)

asciilifeform: (or, charitably, the old chinese 'leather cannon', 50% likelihood of nailing either artilleryman or enemy )
mircea_popescu: the 5% dude.
asciilifeform: the remaining 5% is to make it eat the ancient ebuild format. supposing that's even what we want, what with it having 'optional' sigs etc
mircea_popescu: yes, 95%.
asciilifeform: pretty much 95% of a 'portage' right there

mircea_popescu: and since i've been stuck doing a shitload of these by [slave]hand : the gpg format is fucking TERRIBLE, the small/caps duality is sheer idiocy (90+% of all errors and general slowdown on top of it because of shift) ;
mircea_popescu: and i can't write, because i need a reference i can no longer find.i have no fucking idea how to fix this sort of problem, nor do i truly speaking expect it'll ever get fixed. so w/e, i guess ima trash this thousand words and move on. except the specter of "there's an X% chance you won't be able to complete the article you wish to write" is sufficiently chilling to permanently discourage one from even starting.
mircea_popescu: and speaking of terrible accessibility : they changed the taskbar structure from purely linear to a sorta broken tree, so that all terminals snap together into a single terminal icon (holy shit WHY, everyone's taskbar is 90% terms and that is THE ONLY REASON to even HAVE clickable taskbars) so now i have to do two clicks, one to bring up a derpy bubble and a second to bring up the wanted terminal, which blows btw because n
asciilifeform: esp. in a bananistan where 20-30% import tax on just about anyffin
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's exactly 0 connection between the 99% and any productive activty. in fact, you need about 500k or so people to run the entire world as it now stands
mircea_popescu: https://www.phil.vt.edu/dmayo/personal_website/bibliography%20complete.htm << you might enjoy this COMPLETE bibliography, %20 windowsisms y compris.
asciilifeform: i'm not 100% sold, but haven't with what to seriously disagree, so will buy
hanbot: mircea_popescu, zero mention of btc anywhere on paxum.com. there's pax*ful*, i guess. for some reason lists market price at a 9% discount, iono what kind of "market" it can be.
mircea_popescu: yeah, the more modern, mroe efficient dam gear squeezes that extra % at the cost of all sorts of intolerances. you can't run a dam on no load
mircea_popescu: (ethereum people are really 100% about bitcoin, kinda like how us-based, nominally "protestant" supposedly independent "churches" are 100% about catholicism ; or us-based "nigger hating" / "taking down the zog machine jew by jew by jew" "white power" groups are 100% about please fuck my wife now, she's ovulating. it's the us thing, don't ask me to explain it.)
mircea_popescu: by the time 2001 rolled around, that nigger at dept of state and all the rest of the lulz -- about half of the top 5% had left
asciilifeform: in my clockwork there is no heap allocation, and errything that can live in machine reg, does. (the only allocation is one mmap, for the emu-ram, a user-specified x GB chunk, after that 100% regs/stack)
asciilifeform: serious 'non-vonneuman' box would have no standalone rams at all, but simply buncha cpu , each with small mipslike item surrounded by die 99% fulla sram.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: from asciilifeform's archaeologies, got hypothesis that market for standalone srams is 99% for repair/reproduction of '80s-'90s designs -- current-day ic which require sram tend to 1) need a few kB, maybe a MB or 2 , and 2) include it on-die
asciilifeform suspects that the pre-05 gamez will work 100% with just the cpu renderer...
asciilifeform: was a sort of usg in-miniature (unsurprising, perhaps, for it was a quite typical '90% of revenue is from usg' software circus )
asciilifeform: diana_coman: rright, simply must point out, asciilifeform's experience with 'troo 1333337' schools is quite limited, pretty much 100% from archaeology, rather than own skin
asciilifeform: we had ~same type of profs here, with very few (~100% emigre) exceptions, i imagine much fewer exceptions than at diana_coman's uni. y'know the type, that reacts to 'made to think' same way as mcd clerk to being asked to make exact change
mircea_popescu: it's just... look, i guess a preoccupation with gravestones and old musty writs and whatall else is to some degree a professional deformation / professionalized mental issue. but nevertheless, consider : slashdot. fucking slashdot, yes, the people who named the site so that lamers couldn't tell it each other over the phone, calling each other from the video store (which, face it, early ,com internet was 100% videostore cle
mircea_popescu: you want privacy when you're killing some dumb fuck, not when you're sitting with the vidya)
mircea_popescu: currently you can put a much better price on privacy (and meaningful, too, as a % of the wealth involved -- contrary to what the poortards imagine, privacy is not an abstract, privacy is strictly a function of money as a counter of value.

asciilifeform: as for rk, asciilifeform is quite reluctant to expand the rk plant presently, as we lack a 100%-useful rk gnat
mircea_popescu: there's also a II) dataflow control failure. these are all the "add" (kids so aggitated they're saying something, the WHAT they're saying gets lost in dribbles). these are the manic-depressives, people so concerned with their "status" they fail to actually produce anything, like a robot that's 99% sensors and 0% servos. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: quick mp likbez on mental health : other than mentally healthy people (which is very vast indeed, and well varied, and almost universal), there I) an organic malfunction type, which sometimes ends up spontaneously organized -- much like "cancer" is "that tiny % of broken cells that end up broken in such a specific way they stay organized".

BingoBoingo: On one box ben_vulpes sold a sort of harware replacement plan for 20% over the box's book cost. On the other box which was billed monthly, some math unclear math was done and for the lack of a longer term arrangement the billing remained pegged at 0.0578066 BTC. ☝︎☝︎

mircea_popescu: honestly, i spent ~5 minutes this week ; 60% of those searching the spam list for "protonmail" after it turned out this last smartypants ended up there directly. which is how i found the 2015 item (contrary to redditard lore, protonmail was never popular, few dozen total)
asciilifeform: diana_coman: correct. sadly valid assumption, 99.999....% of load reqs are from simple robots.
asciilifeform: and afaik also worked ~100%, tho i do not know specifically
mircea_popescu: 0% chances for this to pass if i don't actually fish it out of the spam list by hand. and for obvious fucking reasons : people who use protonmail are retarded.
