verisimilitude: I'd wager I could fit an MMC
targeting
the 6502 in 64K with only minimal bank switching for larger programs.
a111: Logged on 2014-11-15 00:28 asciilifeform: one would read instructions. another,
turn a wrench, whatever.
third would check
that 2 corresponds
to 1.
then, all
three sign under
that step in recipe.
mircea_popescu: heck, current
trilema header is me with ye olde hp in istanbul.
mircea_popescu: verisimilitude whole fucking republic consists of
this.
verisimilitude: From my perspective, it would probably be easiest
to collect several old home computers and make certain
they produce identical results,
to get reasonably reliable and
trustworthy computing.
verisimilitude: If you have eight instructions, you're inevitably just going
to have a large amount of meta-instructions all
the same.
verisimilitude: I'm rather fond of Big-Endian CISC machines, but
those are all rather dead nowadays.
mircea_popescu: moreover, a bit of a republican standard, so liable
to get more attention.
mircea_popescu: well, in any case fitter for your prototyping needs as i can see
them atm.
verisimilitude: ARM is certainly a better architecture
than MIPS ever can be.
mircea_popescu: verisimilitude you might as well get one of
the rks over in
the republica oriental. arm boxes.
verisimilitude: There's bits of GNU, Linux, OpenBSD, Solaris, K&R C, and other nonsense strewn about;
there's Perl programs generating MIPS assembler; C programs
that clearly invoke undefined behavior and so only work by chance; and other such
things.
verisimilitude: It's because I own
this hardware
that I intend for
the first MMC
targeting a ``real'' machine
to
target MIPS. I decided if I ever got one, I'd
try
to understand it well enough
to run my own software directly on
the bare metal and in
the boot firmware.
verisimilitude: I suppose I can use
the Yeeloong
to generate a PGP key.
verisimilitude: I've noticed only one result in
the logs for ``yeeloong''.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> i'm quite certain
that it can be made
to. <
mircea_popescu: no,
typically folks dragged by
the please-upgrade.php.rss
mircea_popescu: but if
this is not so, i'd much rather find out sooner
than later.
mircea_popescu: "i just happened
to get dragged
to 3.6 line along, dunno"

trinque:
the kernel in current cuntoo is 4.9.95, by virtue solely of being when I
took
the snapshot
mircea_popescu: sorta like a sonar blast
to see under
this iceberg peak.
mircea_popescu: mind giving it a seeing
to ? it'll be a very useful heuristic, imo, "get rk drivers on 2.6 kernel"
mircea_popescu: conceivably
this might run ? ie, not running currently because never
tried, not necessarily because impediments ?
mircea_popescu: im willing
to bet nothing worth
the mention was added since 2.6
that can't be added in an improved format
to great gain.
mircea_popescu: i seriously am going
to have
to drop 2.x kernels ?
this is kinda scandalous.
trinque: plenty of places similar
to uninhabited island
that one can find
verisimilitude: So, I should write I'm only familiar with
this channel because of loper-os.
verisimilitude: I've not read
them in any detail; I
take it I have it wrong,
then.
verisimilitude: That's just
to make certain I don't start out confused.
verisimilitude: I wanted
to make a derivative of P" and Brainfuck
that was difficult
to compile and also make a crude joke.
mircea_popescu: well, as
to
the specific question,
this "mmc" item will require some looking.
verisimilitude: It either copies
the program into memory or
the memory
to be executed.
verisimilitude: I've been meaning
to refine it and also have a version without color.
verisimilitude: I didn't write
the game, but I did write
that document.
verisimilitude: I stopped by
to perhaps get your opinions or
to see what you all are working on lately.
verisimilitude: I call
this Meta-Machine Code (MMC) and
the article detailing it in general is here:
verisimilitude: For
the past several years I'd had
the idea of a machine code development
tool in my mind and for over a year now I've been working
to breathe life into it.
verisimilitude: I suppose it would be easy
to introduce myself by linking
to my website.
mircea_popescu: i dunno doing what ; even something like
the ssh census worked fine on 100mb interface.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, have you measured any of
those gb nics you run, how often
they actually gb ?
mircea_popescu: why ssd specifically ? raid is raid, can raid
tape if you want.
