there is room for six computers
total.
phf: asciilifeform: i'm mostly making a humorous point.
there was after all a
time when you could connect your commodore
to your cathode ray
tube
BingoBoingo: Package was opened and sealed with
tape reading "Terminal de Cargas Uruguay"
a111: Logged on 2018-05-08 16:58 asciilifeform: i suspect
that subtracting
the rolex,vertu,patek,etc. pseudo-craftsman industrial garbage, leaves
the null set
tho.
phf: there's probably an upper bound of availability of
thinking man's
technology, kind of like strugatsky's "za milliard let do konca sveta". once you start hitting
those limits suddenly "my baby is in hospitals
these days" etc.
☟︎ phf: haha, yes, i remember, you have
to feed
that data
to
that 3" eink screen
phf: closests i've gotten
to eink display is a jailbroken kindle with a hacky local client of some sort (there's vnc and
there's also a kindle native
terminal). obviously unfit for real work
phf: asciilifeform: i'm somewhat familiar with
the field,
there's periodic hackaday posts about attempts
to reverse engineer
the whachamacallem refresh matrices or whatever specialized name
they have
phf: yeah, i
turned it into an "analogue" clock and left it at
that
phf: adafruit sells a 3" eink screen which connects over gpio, i'm not grokking why nobody's selling anything bigger.
the whole field is a mystery
mod6: im not computing outdoors much
tho
mod6: are
there any colors on ink-screen?
☟︎ Mocky: imo current eink refresh rate wants applications
that have slightly different display semantics
than what we have
today which is based on 'full screen refresh has no cost'
☟︎ Mocky: yes but
two
types of redraw, one hard blanks out rect and
then draws (amounts
to 2 redraws),
the other attempts update
a111: Logged on 2018-09-20 14:21 asciilifeform: in other misc noose, chinese nao sell a 10inch spi-interfaced eink display
thing with <1s refresh, fits on e.g. our rk3328-roc-cc board without solderings.
theoretically a lappy can be hand-sewn .
mod6: yeah,
that's pretty relateable for me
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in other lulz, "<nicoleci> omg asciilifeform <nicoleci> i couldnt load
the page fast enough
to fix it before he said anything <nicoleci> its already fixed but im not voiced"
mircea_popescu: ah. now
that, can be very iffy, ima yell at people interrupting.
mircea_popescu: pretty sure
there's numerous
threads going ~always on in
the background, dun need loading, loaded once. in like, 1996.
mircea_popescu: my nonsense comes
to me whenever it feels like -- in
the shower, it ruined fucking once or
twice also, often in
the morn waking me up (the idea bladder is way
the fuck worsew
than
the urine bladder -- which latter never ever wakes me up)...
mod6: Yeah, I
try
to re-read stuff
too -- actually links within logs actually help
to force ya
to do it.
mircea_popescu: i re-read logs also. i dun see
the problem, what, log should be
toilet paper, use once ?
mod6: Might not be
that far off, either.
mod6: I feel like,
this will improve for me -- all of it. As someday I'll break out of
these mines.
mod6: mircea_popescu: I actually do read
the logs, but -- again, I wish I had more
time
to really grok
the logs. Instead of just snarf
them and move on
to
the next
thing.
mod6: I actually assume it's worse for alf. I have no idea how alf can keep up in irc, and all
the other
things. Guy has 20,000 hands.
mircea_popescu: mod6 you know it occurs
to me you miss a lot of my lines!!
mod6: oh I must have missed
that line from before.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-30 00:05 mircea_popescu: i kinda have in
the back of my mind
this impression
that poor shane's ended up stuck with a large number of loose ends
to juggle.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-01 15:59 mod6: And before
the republic, I was very much a one-thing-at-a-time
type of engineer. Seems like over
the last year or maybe 18 months, I feel like I'm context switching so much,
that I find it hard
to get deep into
the
thinking
that I need
to. For instance, it bothers me
that I still haven't found
time
to work
through FFA.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-01 15:58 mod6: One other
thing
that I should note here, perhaps, is
that I feel like I really get into
the work deep into
thought; when doing
the
trb related work.
BingoBoingo: I'm leaning
towards suspecting
the robocall scammers hacked a Uruguayo office and under
the impression Uruguay is a "rich" company have decided
to pilfer
BingoBoingo: ANd
they don't do
the one ring disappear bulshit
BingoBoingo: Aite, who
the fuck
tried
to call me from Senegal
mircea_popescu: i dunno if anyone burns in hell for fucking girls
too young, or
too roughly, or drinking
too much or burping in church. but i see it altogether possible
that you show up before st peter and he's like "shit shane, you STILL suck at sales ?! off
to
the ovens with you, for shame!"
